Ning Cheng ended up with even more doubts as he finally put away the jade strip. He definitely did not believe that the female cultivator had helped him merely because he displayed a bit of his goodwill. For the black robed female cultivator to help him, she certainly has some goal in her mind. But no matter what, Ning Cheng knew that at least a few of the words spoken by her were definitely not wrong, that is, if he wanted to go to the Mirage Gazing City then he would definitely have to change his appearance.
……
In a luxurious room at the top of the Mirage Gazing Conglomerate’s ship, a man with an expressionless face sat with his head resting on his hands. This man was none other than the intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator that Ning Cheng had seen on the Monitoring Array Formation not too long ago. Although he was showing a calm face, but the blue veins pulsing dangerously on his arms betrayed his burning rage.
There were two other people in the room, one of them was the strong looking middle aged cultivator who had broken open the restriction on Ning Cheng’s room before entering. The one with the cultivation of Profound Core 7th Level. While the other person was the Deacon of the ship that had expelled Ning Cheng from the ship.
“Lang Mao, didn’t you say that this idea was something that you came up with?” The intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator stared at the strong looking male cultivator as he spoke.
“Yes, yes, I knew that Shen Yongyi had obtained a Mirage Stone, so I wanted to get my hands on that Mirage Stone. Although this kind of approach was something that I had thought up on the spot, but I never thought that that foreign cultivator from 219th cabin would interfere, as such because he was so nosy…….” That male cultivator called Lang Mao quickly replied while bowing.
“That Chang Siqi is Shen Yongyi’s older cousin, so why would she help you in plotting against her cousin?” The Soul Essence Cultivator continued.
“Siqi and I are lovers, she had asked her cousin to surrender the Mirage Stone to her before, but her cousin did not want to listen to her. As such she herself wanted to plot against Shen Yongyi, so that after she obtained the Mirage Stone from him she would then give it to me…..” As Lang Mao spoke until here, his tone also became slightly agitated.
Suddenly he knelt to the ground, and spoke with sincerity, “I request senior to show me the Monitoring Images of Siqi from the 219th cabin, I really want to, really want to……”
The Soul Essence Cultivator sneered, as he lifted his hand bringing out a crystal, which immediately started playing an image, “Look at it yourself.”
In the image crystal, after Chang Siqi took off her clothes, Ning Cheng stood up and walked towards Chang Siqi, then immediately made several hand signs, causing the image to blur. Nothing to be made out behind it, and could only hear many orgasmic sounds.
Lang Mao clenched his fists, and had already forgotten that he was in the presence of a Soul Essence Cultivator, as he immediately started cursing loudly in rage, “That slut, no wonder she was the one who proposed such a thing, originally she had already set her sights on wanting to go down on this man…..”
“Oh, so this proposition was actually raised by Chang Siqi herself?” The Soul Essence Cultivator unexpectedly asked.
Lang Mao finally came to his senses; he once again reminded himself that he was in the presence of a Soul Essence Cultivator, if he dared to say anything presumptuous then he immediately would be blasted into nothing more than flying ash.
“Yes, it really was she who had proposed doing such a thing. Chang Siqi and I met each other on the ship, but because my Cultivation Method was not complete, as such I did not have enough time to connect with her. But, but……” Although he had said two buts, but Lang Mao himself did not know as to how to explain this situation. In his impression, Chang Siqi was definitely not a casual person, no not only was she not casual in this regard, but also was very dignified. But then why did it turn out like this?
“Well, you can go down.” The Soul Essence Cultivator impatiently waved.
“Yes.” Lan Mao, in front of this Soul Essence Cultivator, did not dare to speak back even half an extra word, and quickly backed out.
“You are a Deacon of the Mirage Gazing Conglomerate. I do not mind you trying to make some extra income, but without my permission, you drove away an important person, so you will have to be punished for it.” After Lang Mao exited this Soul Essence Cultivator coldly stared at the Deacon as to see what he had to say.
The Deacon was already frightened and was shivering all over, so when he heard the Soul Essence Cultivator speak to him, he immediately bowed even lower as he backed away.
“Just a small Profound Congealing Cultivator, and yet not only was he able to find the Monitoring Array Formation in the room, but he even went so far as to put a momentary shield over it, making me really underestimate this person.” An unexpected voice sounded out from behind the Soul Essence Cultivator, which was immediately followed by a woman wearing a black robe.
The Soul Essence Cultivator did not move from where he was sitting, and spoke after a short while with a sinking voice, “This person was able to escape from the range of my Spiritual Consciousness in such a short time, from this it can be seen that he definitely possess an extremely powerful flight type magical weapon. There are still a few cultivators on board that we did not investigate. As for whether or not the Mirage Tree poached from the Mirage Island is on him or not, I cannot affirm it at this moment. After all with his cultivation at present, even if had a special type of magical weapon, he would not be able to control it.”
The black robed woman snorted and spoke, “In any case, send out a letter to the Mirage Gazing Island immediately. If this person got to the Mirage Gazing Island before us, then he has to be taken away. If he really is in possession of a Mirage Tree, then we certainly cannot let this person off.”
A fiery light shone in the eyes of the Soul Essence Cultivator as he spoke, “If this person really has a Mirage Tree on him, then the number of Mirage Stones on him definitely would be huge.”
The black robed woman raised her hand and spoke, “No matter whether he has possession of a Mirage Tree or not, but the number of Mirage Stones on his body will definitely not be less, of that I am sure about. Originally I wanted to investigate this matter slowly, but a few ants ended up destroying my plans.”
The Soul Essence Cultivator suddenly once again raise his hand to wield a piece of crystal with an Array Formation Screen, this Array Formation Screen showed the two people Chang Siqi and Lang Mao clearly.
“Chang Siqi, in the end just what made you do it with that kid?” Lang Mao asked with a hideous face.
Chang Siqi sneered and spoke, “Why don’t you clearly say as to what did I do? Lang Mao, who are you to me?”
“You, you…..” Lang Mao’s hands were trembling.
Chang Siqi’s tone and expression was ice-cold, “I have known you for several years, and Spirit Stones are needed for every single thing on this ship. How many Spirit Stones have you even given me? So I just went to bed with that other person for ten thousand Spirit Stones, and even earned a low grade Spiritual Artefact. I really was blind, to take a fancy to a miser like you.”
“The Spirit Stones needed for my cultivation are already insufficient; didn’t you already know that I need a lot of Spirit Stones? Furthermore, that suggestion was something that you yourself came up with.”
“Although I was the one who mentioned it, I really could not believe that you would end up agreeing to it. Luckily, I am not anything like you, if I was then wouldn’t there be a need for me to go out to sell myself just to be able to feed you in the future? Lang Mao, from now on we are not connected to each other.”
……
The Soul Essence Cultivator finally put away the piece of crystal with the Array Formation Screen, and spoke with a cold voice, “This little Profound Congealing Cultivator is somewhat skilled, it didn’t even take him the time it took for an incense stick to burn to seduce Chang S
iqi.”
The black robed woman frowned, but did not speak.
……
Ning Cheng, at this time, had once again brought out his True Brahma Buddha Fire Wheel. Although he could not figure out why the black robed female cultivator had helped him, but he knew that he had to leave the Mirage Gazing Island as early as possible.
The speed of the True Brahma Buddha Fire Wheel was not something an ordinary flight type magical weapon could even be compared to, even if some monstrous beasts were able to sense him, but they were not able to catch up to him. Many times even before the monstrous beast were able to react; Ning Cheng’s True Brahma Buddha Fire Wheel would have long since disappeared.
Even if Ning Cheng repeatedly controlled the speed of the True Brahma Buddha Fire Wheel, in just less than half a day’s time, many ships appeared in the range of his Spiritual Consciousness. Ning Cheng knew from this that he should be near to the periphery of the Mirage Gazing Island.

In addition to these ships, there were many flight type magical weapons flying near to the surface of the ocean, shuttling back and forth.
Ning Cheng quickly put away the True Brahma Buddha Fire Wheel, and brought out a low grade flight type Spiritual Artefact. Mixing himself with the other numerous flying type of magical weapons, he slowly flew towards the Mirage Gazing Island.
Before seeing the Mirage Gazing Island, the largest island that Ning Cheng had ever seen was the Pu Bu Island. Looking at it at this moment, he was beyond sure that the Mirage Gazing Island was several times larger than the Pu Bu Island; moreover, even with his powerful Spiritual Consciousness he still was not able to sweep until the edge of the island.
Ning Cheng had just gotten close to the Mirage Gazing Island, when a fairly powerful Spiritual Consciousness swept over him. But this Spiritual Consciousness did not linger on him for a long time, and disappeared after sweeping over him once. From this, Ning Cheng guessed that this Spiritual Consciousness should also have swept over the surrounding cultivators as a cursory glance rather than to inspect the people.
The periphery of the Mirage Gazing Island was lined with an Array Formation created with the help of several top quality refining materials, and although Ning Cheng was already a Tier 6 Array Formation Master, when he looked at this Array Formation, he instantly realised that the degree of toughness of this kind of huge defensive array would definitely not be lower than a Level 8 Defensive Array if not higher.
Compared to the Mirage Gazing Island’s Defensive Array Formation, the Pu Bu Island’s Defensive Array Formation was only equivalent to a simple fence.
Ning Cheng was at present was dressed up differently from the past, although he looked like a thin man and resembled a bit like at the time when he entered the Law’s Way, but his projected age at this moment was slightly younger than it was then.
After going through the Defensive Array Formation that stretched for several tens of miles, Ning Cheng finally arrived in front of a gate that led to a huge ancient city. There were three characters carved above the gate, ‘Mirage Gazing City’.
Two Profound Congealing Cultivators were standing guard at the gate. Ning Cheng found it odd that when entered the city through the gate, these two Profound Congealing Cultivators did not even sweep at him with their Spiritual Consciousness, let alone asking Ning Cheng about the entry fees to enter the city.
The city was incomparably lively, with countless shops, pleasure pavilions, restaurants…
The cultivators traversing the streets were simply too many, causing it to be incomparably crowded, the streets were also similar to that of a spider web, and could be seen branching out in all directions. One simply would not be able to find where these streets ended. One would also not be able to make out as to where such a high density of cultivators were coming from or even where they were going towards in such a hurry.
Ning Cheng found a relatively large commercial store and went in. This commercial store not only sold Magical Weapons and Pills, but also sold various jade strips containing cultivation methods.
Ning Cheng was also able to easily find the jade strip titled ‘10 Uses of Mirage Stones’ that he had wanted to purchase on the ship. Now that he was on the Mirage Island, he did not have to worry about the previous things. Buying the ‘10 Uses of Mirage Stones’ without hesitation and without sparing any extra effort, he also bought a few pieces containing a detailed introduction of the Mirage Ship Island.
“Do you have a map of the Mirage Gazing Map, and also the nautical chart of the Mirage Gazing Island’s periphery?” Just before leaving, Ning Cheng suddenly remembered that he did not know where the Transmission Array was located.
“Of course we do have them.” The helper readily took out a Jade Strip and gave it to Ning Cheng, “This contains the nautical chart of the Mirage Gazing Island’s periphery and the map of the Mirage Gazing Island. Costs 10 Spirit Stones.”
Seeing how speedily the helper moved, he could not help but think as to how many such jade strips he would have sold to attain this much efficiency.
Watching Ning Cheng walk out into the Mirage Gazing City, the helper spoke out in disdain with a low voice, “It seems that this one also wants to go seek out the Mirage Ship Island, and had even bought all the things necessary, does he really not know that ‘One could only find it if fated, and return if not’.”
“This Senior Apprentice Brother, are you also going out to seek for the Mirage Ship Island? If so, then come above our ship. Our ship has first rate credibility, and is about to leave the Mirage Gazing City…” Ning Cheng had just left the commercial store, when a handsome looking man in servant robes chased after Ning Cheng, giving out constant commentary about how much better was his ship compared to others. According to his words, as long as they were on their ship, then there was a hundred percent guarantee that they would locate the Mirage Ship Island.
Ning Cheng finally was able to get rid of this servant with great difficulty, as his first priority at this moment was to reach the place that housed the Transmission Array that would take him to the Tian Continent. Even though he had arrived at the Mirage Gazing Island for less than a day, he did not dare to be negligent and careless. Only by reaching the Tian Continent, could be safe.
For a Soul Essence Cultivator, even if he knew that he arrived at the Tian Continent, they would have to think long and hard to catch him.
……
“One million Spirit Stones.” An old man spoke out a sentence with a casual tone without even lifting his head.
“So expensive?” Ning Cheng was stunned, one million Spirit Stones, how many people on the Mirage Gazing Island would be able to come up with such a sum? Although the Mirage Gazing Island had such a dense population of cultivators, and even more cultivators out in the ocean, how many of them would be able to shell out this much?
“If you want to have a seat then take a seat, if you don’t want then go away.” As the old man heard Ning Cheng’s words, he immediately retorted with a scolding tone. Even his expression showed impatience and annoyance.
Ning Cheng helplessly took out a storage bag as he handed it over and spoke, “I’ll take a seat, here are the Spirit Stones.”
Fortunately, there were still quite a bit of Spirit Stones that he saved up, otherwise even after reaching the Mirage Gazing Island; he still would not be able to leave.
The old man caught the storage bag. Scanning it with his Spiritual Consciousness, he found that it really did contain a million Spirit Stones, causing his expression to instantly soothe out as he threw out a jade plate and spoke, “This is the Transfer Jade Token, go in and stand in the line.”
Ning Cheng went in and found that there were already seven-eight people waiting, a
nd could not help but feel secretly flabbergasted. Just how many spirit stones could one earn just by operating this Transfer Array for a day aah? These cultivators must have come to the Mirage Gazing Island to search for more opportunities.
“Big brother, are you also going back to the Tian Continent aah, I also am going back.” A charming sound emerged from Ning Cheng’s side, which was followed by a wave of fragrance.
Ning Cheng turned his back only to see a young man wearing a long loose flowery robe, not only did this man had a sharp yet fragrant aroma coming from him, even his speech was not much different when compared to a woman’s. If not for his Adam’s apple and hair, Ning Cheng would have definitely mistaken him to be a woman.
In the Yi Xing Mainland, the way male cultivators and female cultivators kept their hair was significantly different. Usually the female cultivators put their hair in a bun.
As the other people caught sight of this man speaking to another man from the side, while at the same time stretching out his hands in such a graceful gesture that could only grace a girl, Ning Cheng couldn’t help but feel a burst of cold loathing coming from them, he immediately coughed and spoke, “It aah…. It really is a coincidence aah……”
This young man wearing the flowery robes seeing Ning Cheng answer him, felt a little joyful as he approached a bit closer. Ning Cheng was even surer that if this person called out to the other cultivators in the same manner, it would only result in him being beaten up; he could guess that those people would not have met these kind of people too often.
At this time, Ning Cheng heard the cultivator in charge of the transfer speak up, “Time for the next batch, the next ten people come up.”
