  Liang Kexin on hearing Ning Cheng’s words only gave a slight chuckle before speaking up, “The reason I decided to come trade with Elder Brother Ning today, is because I somehow know that Elder Brother Ning is a credible person to work with. Elder Brother Ning has his own secrets; similarly, I also have my own secrets. It’s just that I do not wish to reveal my all my secrets at this time. If Elder Brother Ning is willing to trade a nine-coloured Mirage Stone with me, then I will agree to any conditions within my power. If Elder Brother Ning does not agree for exchanging a nine-coloured Mirage Stone, then you can simply treat it as me not coming here at all, moreover I will also take an oath to never reveal Elder Brother Ning’s secret.”

  Ning Cheng gave a slight nod, he knew that Liang Kexin was completely serious about the words that she spoke, even if he said that he wanted to take the other party to bed, the other party would not even hesitate for even the slightest before agreeing to it. It can be seen from this that a Mirage Stone from a nine-coloured Mirage Tree was something extremely important to this Liang Kexin.

  “Junior Apprentice Sister Liang, as far as I understand, all the Mirage Stones are to some degree white in color, it’s just that the grade of the whiteness is different. So why do you specifically want a nine-coloured Mirage Stone?” Ning Cheng had not yet agreed to the agreement, and instead asked about a matter that had nothing to do with it.

  “Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, you do not even know such a basic thing?” Liang Kexin looked at Ning Cheng with a surprise, after a short pause, she suddenly took out a jade basin, while at the same time poured out a small amount of clear water into the jade basin, then took out a white coloured Mirage Stone to put into the middle of the jade basin.

  Ning Cheng was surprised to find that the white coloured Mirage Stone when placed in the basin was emitting six different colours, as if it was an illusion in general, splendid as well as pleasing to the eyes.

  Liang Kexin took out the Mirage Stone from the water, the Mirage Stone was still white, and the water in the basin was still clear.

  Ning Cheng did not wait for Liang Kexin to speak up, while at the same time took out his own Mirage Stone and put into the basin, this Mirage Stone was completely pure without any trace of impurities and immediately emitted nine different colours the moment it touch the water, compared to the one from a moment before the color projections created a much more beautiful illusion.

  “So originally it was because of this.” Ning Cheng muttered to himself.

  “You really do have a nine-coloured Mirage Stone…..” Liang Kexin stared at the Mirage Stone sitting in the middle of the jade basin, with a fiery glow in her eyes.

  Ning Cheng gave a smile, “I certain do have nine-coloured Mirage Stones with me, as such this piece I will give it to you.”

  “Give it to me?” Even though Liang Kexin knew that Ning Cheng possessed more than one nine-coloured Mirage Stones, but for Ning Cheng to give her one so casually made her go into extreme shock. The value of a nine-coloured Mirage Stone was so great that even if one offered a hundred six-coloured Mirage Stones in exchange for it, its value would still be a far cry from that of a nine-coloured Mirage Stone. Although she was eager to get her hands on it, but she did not expect that Ning Cheng would go for such an unequal exchange for a nine-coloured Mirage Stone.

  “Of course, I am giving it to you, or do you think that my life is so worthless? You saved my life, so at the very least I could at least provide my benefactor with some of my things, or is it that you are still looking down on me.”

  Just as Ning Cheng finished, he took out a jade bottle and spoke up, “This contains a bit of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar, it is also something that I am giving to you.”

  “You really also have Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar…..” Liang Kexin found it really difficult to suppress the excitement building up in her, as she quickly put away the Mirage Stone and the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar given to her by Ning Cheng, while simultaneously giving an extremely serious bow towards Ning Cheng and speaking in complete sincerity, “Many thanks Big Brother Ning……”

  She was unable to conceal the excitement in her heart; she not only managed to obtain the Mirage Stone, but also was able to obtain a bit of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar. It was really obvious that she had not made a mistake in risking it on him, although it involved a considerable risk on her part, but it really had led to an even greater return.

  With the Mirage Stone and the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar, combined with her joining the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, as long as she was given three years, she would once again be able to climb up to the Soul Essence Realm. With her practicing cultivation with the help of her Spiritual Growth Cultivation Method, once she once again advances to the Soul Essence Realm, the strength of her cultivation would absolutely be able to have a huge spike in ot, it would grow to at least twice of her previous strength. If she could enter the Small Spiritual Domain to practice cultivation in the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, then in less than a decade, she would even have the chance to assail the Soul Sculpting Realm…

  Although he was once again called as ‘Big Brother’, Ning Cheng really did not mind it this time, fortunately, Fu Xiaomei was not around, or he would have certainly asked if he felt his skin tingle because of it.

  It was only after a good long while that Liang Kexin was able to calm herself down from her excitement, and spoke up with a gentle tone, “Big Brother Ning, what are your plans, is there anything that I could help you with.”

  Ning Cheng also decided to not conceal these things and spoke up, “I heard that the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect is going to start their disciple recruitment, as such I am preparing to try out my luck at the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect. If luck really does not favor me in the selection, then I could still become an Inner Disciple of the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect through a back door, and be able to remain in the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect in order to practice cultivation.”

  “This is really good; I am also planning to join the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect. However I suggest that Big Brother Ning not use the Mirage Stone in order to join, and rather with your ability, presumably securing a spot of the Inner Sect Disciple of the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect would not be of much problem.” Liang Kexin on hearing that Ning Cheng also wanted to go to the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect immediately spoke up.

  Ning Cheng gave a puzzled look at Liang Kexin, what a coincidence, he already wanted to go to the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, did this woman also wanted to come along? But he still asked, “I have a few three-coloured Mirage Stones, I actually plan to use these three-coloured Mirage Stones to take up a place. Moreover, I also heard that the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect had a Small Spiritual Domain, I very much want to go there sometime to practice cultivation.”

  Liang Kexin interrupted him, “Although you left the Mirage Gazing Island, but there will surely be a few people keeping an eye on you. Do you even know how much powerful the Mirage Gazing Conglomerate is? Or even the power of the Deputy Island Master Mi’s influence. After you join the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, they certainly won’t be able to make a move on you, and although that could be considered as a good thing, however if you come up with Mirage Stones to join, then there would be even more eyes pointed at you.”

  “Many thanks for Junior Apprentice Sister Liang’s concern, but I know what to do.” Ning Cheng in reality did not care much of it, he already knew that all he had to do was to increase his strength, as long as he had sufficient strength, then who would even dare to pursue him?

  Liang Kexin had only mentioned it, but on seeing Ning Cheng expressing his disapproval, no longer spoke anymore about it, and just asked, “Is Big Brother Ning willing to go to the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect to participate in the disciple selection together with me?”

  “Of course, but first I really do not understand much about the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, can Junior Apprentice Sister Liang care to explain a thing or two about it to me?” Ning Cheng was already planning to look for someone acq
uainted with the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect initially, now that Liang Kexin had voluntarily come to his door, so how could he refuse such an opportunity?

  Liang Kexin was also happy and spoke up, “Certainly, Rainbow Fall Sword Sect is one of the Tian Continent’s quasi fist class academies, and is also counted amongst the most powerful, moreover there are also several peak Crucible Transformation Cultivators amongst their ranks……..”

  Ning Cheng suddenly interrupted Liang Kexin’s words and asked, “Junior Apprentice Sister Liang, I heard that there was another Realm above the Crucible Transformation Realm. Is this really true or are these just rumours?”

  Liang Kexin showed a faint smile, “You are a rogue cultivator, so for you to not know about such a thing is quite normal. Of course, this thing really is true. In the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, there indeed is an existence that surpasses the Crucible Transformation Cultivators. However……”

  “Really? What Realm is that?” Ning Cheng was really shocked in his heart, just the Crucible Transformation Realm was in itself out of his reach at this moment, now he heard that the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect had an existence that was even beyond the Crucible Transformation Cultivators, and yet it was only ranked as quasi-first class heritage.

  “It is not a ‘Realm’ per se, rather because the Laws’ of the Yi Xing Mainland are broken, Crucible Transformation Cultivators could practice cultivation to even beyond that of Crucible Transformation, however it would not cause tribulation thunder to fall. Without tribulation thunder, it means that there are no Realm Laws. Without the Realm Laws, it simply can’t be referred to as a ‘Realm’. Therefore, some of the cultivators with that kind of formidable cultivation would take up the chance to leave the Yi Xing Mainland through the Heaven’s Way, looking for opportunities to advance.” Liang Kexin spoke out quietly.

  Luo Ling City was not close to the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, but of course, this distance was only relative to ordinary cultivators, for people with a high enough cultivation level, they could easily reach at it in just a short amount of time.

  To Ning Cheng and Liang Kexin, using a medium grade flight type spiritual artefact, would probably take about half a day with its speed.

  After leaving Luo Ling City, Liang Kexin did not take out her own flight type magical weapon, rather sat together with Ning Cheng on his medium grade airship.

  “Big Brother Ning, I really am quite curious as to how you were able to slip out of the Mirage Gazing Island, one has to know that old man Peng is absolutely not simple at all. I heard that he was searching each and every person, no one can leave the island before they were all personally searched by him, even if one was a Soul Essence Cultivator, they had to go along with him……” On the airship type magical weapon, Liang Kexin asked with curiosity.

  Although she knew it was Ning Cheng’s secret, and she should really not inquire about it, but she really could not contain her curiosity. She was well aware that to reach the Tian Continent from the Mirage Gazing Island, Ning Cheng would definitely have to go through the Transmission Array, even if Ning Cheng was in possession of the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Cloud, it was simply impossible to fly to the Tian Continent considering the vast distance.

  Not to mention about the extremely vast distance between the Mirage Gazing Island and the Tian Continent, even if one possessed the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Cloud, one would at least need a few years to cover it. Moreover, there would also be countless monstrous beasts in the middle of it, who could easily tear apart a single Ning Cheng. Even if these were not taken into consideration, how could anyone be able to keep powering their Twin Wings of the Heavenly Cloud for even a year, let alone the entire time?

  The Twin Wings of the Heavenly Cloud, to put it bluntly, were foreign objects. They would thus require at least a small amount of a person’s true essence and spiritual consciousness in order to operate.

  Ning Cheng gave a slight chuckle, and was just about to speak, when he saw a shadow of a fiery red line rushing towards them through his spiritual consciousness. Moreover, this shadow was accompanied with a strong spiritual qi fluctuation, as his spiritual consciousness just brushed past it, he could also feel a faint trace of his spiritual consciousness loosening up.

  “Pure Yang Fire Ginseng… furthermore a Spirit Ginseng?” Liang Kexin almost screamed, as she anxiously spoke out, “Ning Cheng quickly chased after it, aah, this is a Pure Yang Fire Ginseng with spiritual wisdom, and its value is even higher than that of the Mirage Stones. Its value is fundamentally incalculable…..”

  Liang Kexin was simply too excited, even forgoing the form of address of ‘Big Brother Ning’.

  Ning Cheng also controlled the airship as he quickly gave it a chase; he had also seen the Pure Yang Fire Ginseng. But to say that it was a Spirit Ginseng, it was something absolutely impossible.

  “Big Brother Ning, you should really use your Twin Wings of the Heavenly Cloud to give it a chase, aah, this airship really would not be able to catch ……” Liang Kexin seeing that Ning Cheng only sped up the airship in the direction of the Pure Yang Fire Ginseng in order to catch it, could not help but speak out in an even more anxious manner.

  Rather Ning Cheng simply calmed himself down, and spoke up with a faint smile, “Junior Apprentice Sister Liang, I already believed you to be not a simple person, how could you be so naive. Did you really believe that a Pure Yang Fire Ginseng would appear here? This route is the main path that leads to the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect from the Luo Ling City; do you know how many people traverse this path every day? Did you seriously think that a Pure Yang Fire Ginseng with spiritual wisdom would appear in this kind of place?”

  “What you mean is that it is a fake?” Liang Kexin muttered, “If that is the case, then why would a Pure Yang Fire Ginseng possibly appear here? Moreover, the Pure Yang Fire Ginseng is one of the treasured spiritual objects of the Heaven and Earth; moreover, they are something that generally appear deep in the mountains with rivers or huge ponds… that’s right. Big Brother Ning, since it is clearly a fake, then why are you chasing it.”

  Liang Kexin had originally not thought that her idea was not wrong, but because the level of her spiritual consciousness was far below that of Ning Cheng, in addition to her not having a heterodoxical knowledge like Ning Cheng’s, it was only after Ning Cheng’s reminder, did she finally come to realize this point.

  Ning Cheng gave a smile, “If this Pure Yang Fire Ginseng is fake, then it shows that there are a few people who want to use this ‘fake’ Pure Yang Fire Ginseng to lure us into a secluded place in order to finish us off. Since that seems to be the case, then why don’t we help them out? Of course, if Junior Apprentice Sister Liang feels insecure about it, then you can just head to the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect and wait for me there, it would not be a first for me to travel alone.”

  “How can I be afraid of death, but for the other party to be daring enough to intercept us on this path, it is highly likely that the other party would be at least a Soul Essence Cultivator, I am just afraid that……” Liang Kexin had guessed correctly, this cultivator was very likely to be a Soul Essence Cultivator.

  Ning Cheng also gave an appreciative nod, “That’s right, in all the likelihood, it should be that fellow, initially when I was in the ocean I had indeed dreaded him a bit, because of which I really did not dare to start a fight with him. But now that we are here, I do not see any reason as to why I should not go ahead on with it. Besides, it is not as if Junior Apprentice Sister Liang would be helping me out would it?”

  Ning Cheng did not speak out those words because he was looking down on her, but rather he was increasingly feeling that Liang Kexin was someone absolutely not simple at all. At least she was definitely not
an ordinary Profound Congealing Cultivator.

  “Big Brother Ning, if it really is that cultivator, although I am not confident in beating him, but I would be able to escape from him in a short while, however I would not be able to carry you with me.” Liang Kexin hesitated a bit before she finally spoke out a bit of truth.

  “You already know that I possess the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Cloud, since you say that you would be able to manage your own escape, so how could I not manage on my own? I only expect a single thing from you, when the time truly comes to entangle with that person, just help me tie him down, I don’t ask for much, just help me tie him down for a few breaths of time.” Even though Ning Cheng was asking such a thing, he still spoke without a care in this world.

  “What if it was a cultivator in the Soul Sculpting Realm?” Liang Kexin once again asked, with a worried tone.

  Ning Cheng replied with confidence, “There would absolutely be no cultivators in the Soul Sculpting Realm, of that you can be assured.”

  If there really were a Soul Sculpting Realm Cultivator, then why would they even use such a method to lure them to such a quiet place? That person could simply raise his hand and completely destroy them from a distance without even doing anything.

  The opposite party should already be aware that he and Liang Kexin are not to be taken lightly, at least they were aware that they would not be able to kill them in a short time, because of which they could only think of using such a trick to lead the two of them to a secluded place, after all, they were actually on the main path that led to the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect. As such, this person at most could only be a Soul Essence Cultivator; maybe it might even turn out to be a Profound Core Cultivator.

  “This person wants to lead us to this location; moreover that Pure Yang Fire Ginseng is also a fake. If it turns out to be that Soul Essence Cultivator, how confident are you in dealing with him?” Liang Kexin was already aware that Ning Cheng’s guess might just turn out to be correct; it was because her spiritual consciousness would occasionally be able to track the escaping trajectory of the Fire Ginseng, which made her realize that it was definitely abnormal as if it was being controlled.
