“Here you go this is your three months’ worth of cultivation jade symbol, once the jade symbol crumbles, you will automatically be sent out.” The old man guarding the entrance was finally was not able to stand it anymore and took the initiative to call out Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng quickly arrived before carefully taking hold of the jade symbol, “Many thanks senior, your work is simply too neat. I should honour you with at least a few spirit stones.”
Ning Cheng’s hand fell onto his storage ring, when he suddenly pulled back and started raking his head before he spoke in rueful voice, “This memory of mine, the storage ring in which I placed my spirit stones was left behind in my immortal cave, it seems I will have to make a trip back to get them…..”
“Young man, quickly just go in and cultivate. I will not miss your spirit stones.” The old man shook his head and spoke.
“How is that a good thing, spirit stones for me are nothing……” Ning Cheng spoke without hesitation; finished saying this he subconsciously took a look at this Profound Core 8th Level Cultivator.
This Profound Core 8th Level Cultivator simply did not even think before he arbitrarily took out a storage bag before throwing it to Ning Cheng and saying, “Elder Brother Hu, these are the hundred thousand spirit stones that I had borrowed from you the last time, you can take it to use it for yourself. Originally, I wanted to come find you to find Han Wen, but I have yet to even get a glimpse of this Han Wen. However, I really did not expect to find you here. I think that what Han Wen said is definitely true, that although it’s good to borrow once but is very difficult to ask for a second time.”
The rest of the cultivators on the side, watching the show unfolding, couldn’t help but think as to how their companion turned out to be a rich friend.
“Yes yes, I also very much agree to this sentence.” Ning Cheng received the storage bag before putting it away. He acted as if he had even forgotten about the reward he had promised to the Deacon in front of him.
“That’s right, since Han Wen is cultivating in the Small Spiritual Domain, I’d like to go and see him. But I do not have a spare cultivation jade card for the Small Spiritual Domain, didn’t you say that you have one, can you loan it to me?” This Profound Core Cultivator on seeing Ning Cheng put away the storage bag that he gave immediately spoke up.
“This is just a small thing; it’s just a cultivation jade card only I’ll give it to you.” Ning Cheng’s words almost cause this Profound Core Cultivator to become excited to the point of breaking down in tears.
Just as Ning Cheng’s hand reached towards his ring, he suddenly frowned, before he patted his head and spoke out in an exasperated tone, “Look at my memory, I had put that jade card along with my spirit stones, moreover I even forgot to bring it. It’s ok, just wait here for three months, after I come out I will lend it to you. Let’s meet up later then, I need to go in to increase my cultivation, good bye and take care old Wang.”
As Ning Cheng finished his words, he simply did not wait for this Profound Core Cultivator’s following words, and directly stepped into the transmission portal, the next moment he had already disappeared.
“Wait wait…..” The Profound Core Cultivator on seeing Ning Cheng leave hurried rushed forward to stop Ning Cheng. Unfortunately, he did not have the transmission jade symbol, and was directly thrown out the moment he stepped into the transmission gate.
“Haha, Old Wang next door to Han Wen, we’ll be taking our leave first aah.” The several other cultivators who were originally with this Profound Core Cultivator immediately started laughing at him.
This Profound Core 8th Level Cultivator’s face was now alternating between red and blue, as killing intent gushed like an angry river in his heart. Unexpectedly someone even dared to take advantage of him in such a cheap manner, regardless of what this person said was true or false, once he came out, he will definitely not let him off. Although he would not be able to lay his hands on him in this place, but there definitely would be many places where he could easily deal with him.
Of course, he certainly did not know, that even if he was permitted to lay his hands on him, Ning Cheng would have already smashed him into a pulp in almost an instant, moreover why would he even settle for a mere hundred thousand spirit stones from him?
……
Although he was a Profound Core Cultivator, Ning Cheng really did not pay any attention to him, after he entered the transmission gate, he was immediately whirled away by a formidable force.
When he finally touched ground, he appeared in the midst of white mist.
“Is this the Small Spiritual Domain? Is this fog Spiritual Qi?”
Ning Cheng could not help but mutter to himself, before realising that his thoughts were quite wrong.
Here the density spiritual qi was very ordinary, rather it was even less than what he had in his immortal cave, moreover this fog was also not spiritual qi, it just was something that made him unable to stretch out his spiritual consciousness.
Ning Cheng could not believe that the famous Small Spiritual Domain would turn out to be such a place, causing him to immediately leave the area where he was, preparing himself to seek out a local place rich in spiritual qi to cultivate.
But half a day later, Ning Cheng finally stopped, while being very disappointed in his heart. This place definitely did not meet the expectation of how famous it was made out to be, all the places here were scarce in spiritual qi, in addition this fog really restricted one’s spiritual consciousness from stretching out, causing him to not even be able to find a single place rich in spiritual qi for his cultivation.
It should not be so, if the Small Spiritual Domain were misnamed in such a manner, then it definitely would not have so much fame attached to it. At this moment, he knew he should have asked Xun Hanrui about this, at least it would have been much better than running around like a headless chicken. These three months of cultivation was nothing but extremely precious to him, and he had already wasted half a day of it.
Ning Cheng, after looking around for another one hour, finally felt a strand of spiritual qi emanating from a small piece of slightly bluish stone protruding from the ground before he finally sat down in front of it. He had already mentally prepared himself to cultivate for a few days at this spot, if it really turned out to not be good, then he would continue on into the depths of this Small Spiritual Domain.
When Ning Cheng sat down and started cultivating according to his cultivation method, an incomparably terrifying amount of spiritual qi, almost in just a twinkling of an eye, bored into Ning Cheng’s meridians.
Ning Cheng could help but be badly shocked by this, and it was only after a moment did he finally realize as to what was going on. There was almost no spiritual qi spill over in the Small Spiritual Domain, only at the time when one started cultivating, would it take the initiative to emerge, the more powerful the cultivation method you cultivated in, the more amount of spiritual qi would you attract.
Cultivating in this kind of spiritually enhanced qi was absolutely different from that of the spiritual qi present in the spirit stones, there was no need to even convert it into a spiritual qi fog, but would directly penetrate into the body.
Ning Cheng was simply ecstatic in his heart, he was finally able to discover this kind of a place, besides the way spiritual qi was absorbed here was completely different from that of spirit stones, and moreover its characteristics were also entirely different from that found in the qi contained in spirit stones. The properties of the spiritual qi found here were on a much higher level than the spiritual qi in the spirit stones, one could even vaguely sense a law inside it.
Ning Cheng had only slightly absorbed it, when he found that his Core Lake was beginning to change. Ning Cheng immediately moved to suppress the strong surprise rising up in his heart, as he crazily started to absorb the spiritual qi for his cultivation.
When he used spirit stones for his cultivation, he was already aware that it was simply too difficult
to increase the liquid true essence in his Core Lake by even a tiny amount, even if he used an enormous amount of spirit stones. But in here, it was so simple. All he had to do was to constantly operate the cultivation method he was cultivating in, causing his meridians to be constantly scoured by the spiritual qi, which would then be converted to true essence, and all the while visibly seeing the liquid true essence in his Core Lake increasing at a pace visible to the naked eye.
At this pace, he would not even have to wait for a full month before he could fill up his Core Lake.
Small Spiritual Domain, it really is a good place aah
, Ning Cheng couldn’t help but sigh emotionally in his heart, not only was he absorbing this spiritually enhanced qi in a crazy manner, he could even feel his Core Lake filling up.
With Ning Cheng absorbing more and more of this spiritual qi, the liquid true essence was starting to fill up his Core Lake, allowing Ning Cheng to become aware of another one of its characteristics. That is, this spiritual qi not only contained a vague law in it, but there was even a hard to detect spiritual medicine aura mixed in it.
This spiritually enhanced medicinal aura even gave Ning Cheng a feeling that when his Core Lake finally filled up, while simultaneously cultivating all the way to the great circle of Profound Congealing 9th Level, he would be able to effortlessly advance to the Profound Core Realm without even using the Profound Life Pill. If he wanted to reach the Profound Core Realm, if he did not cultivate in this kind of place, and rather cultivated in any other place, then even he would not be so sure if he could achieve such a thing.
No wonder there were so many Soul Essence Cultivators in the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, with such a marvellous Small Spiritual Domain, in addition to cultivators with a higher talent and qualifications bringing in pills to aid them. If they could not advance to the Soul Essence Realm, then they really were not different from pigs.
Now that he was finally able to consciously feel the progress with his cultivation, Ning Cheng was finally enlightened about the preciousness of the Small Spiritual Domain’s cultivation jade card. Ning Cheng in his heart couldn’t help but be even more thankful towards the two people, Liang Kexin and Xun Hanrui, if not for their help, where would he even obtain three months’ worth of cultivation jade cards?
Soon Ning Cheng entered the state of intoxication, as nearly infinite amount of Small Spiritual Domain’s spiritual qi, under Ning Cheng’s crazy absorption, was transformed into liquid true essence, which in turn was continuously filling up Ning Cheng’s Core Lake in a steady stream.

Ning Cheng unscrupulously kept absorbing the spiritual qi, transforming it into his true essence, before finally leading it to fill up his Core Lake. Although the speed and volume of the spiritual qi that Ning Cheng was absorbing was horrifying to the extreme, but to the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s Small Spiritual Domain, this amount of spiritual qi was still insignificant.
As a month passed by, Ning Cheng slowly let out a breath, before he finally opened his eyes. His eyes were full of joy and a kind of satisfaction, this was a feeling that one simply wouldn’t be able to understand if one cultivated only with the help of spirit stones.
Although he was still at Profound Congealing 7th Level in his cultivation, but his Core Lake was now completely filled. Ning Cheng, at this point, was very clear in his heart that he could easily advance to the Profound Congealing 8th Level and even Profound Congealing 9th Level but with just a thought, at most he would only have to wait for a few breaths in between. For him, whether he was at Profound Congealing 7th Level or the 9th Level, there was basically no difference, the difference would arise only when he advanced in a qualitative manner that would cause his Core Lake to expand once again.
Ning Cheng stood up, with the benefits of cultivation that he was able to obtain in this place; he really did not want to leave this place. However, Ning Cheng still felt that the cultivation in the Small Spiritual Domain was not as simple as what it was made out to be, he made his way to the deeper parts of the Small Spiritual Domain, and once again found a light blue coloured stone protruding above the ground before he finally sat down in front of it.
Sure enough, Ning Cheng could feel that the effect of cultivating here was much better than his previous location; it seems that the deeper you went inside the more obvious the effect it would have on your cultivation. However, Ning Cheng was also aware that this change was very small, it not for him absorbing terrifying amounts of spiritual qi, and was replaced by an ordinary cultivator then maybe they would not be able to feel this difference.
Ning Cheng decided to stay right here and cultivate until his three months of time was completely used up, and set up a simple defensive array formation around him, before finally starting to cultivate.
“Katcha.” As Ning Cheng once again started to cultivate, there was simply no need for his to strike the barrier to the Profound Congealing 8th Level, allowing him to break through that gap between the two levels with ease. He stepped into the Profound Congealing 8th Level, causing his Core Lake to once again congeal to an even thicker state while its size expanded almost exponentially.
It seems that the previous guess that he had made was definitely not wrong, whether he forcibly advanced quickly or slowly advanced in natural manner in his cultivation, the results would still be the same for him. Although there would definitely be some gaps in his strength between the two methods, but this gap would simply be insignificant.
The newly expanded Core Lake on his advancement to the Profound Congealing 8th Level once again started to fill up. Ning Cheng did not even have to wait for a long time before he once again stepped into the Profound Congealing 9th Level.
At the Profound Congealing 9th Level, Ning Cheng could now literally feel the surging true essence in his Core Lake, giving him a strong sense of power that almost made Ning Cheng think that he could now kill a Soul Essence Cultivator alone, without anyone’s help.
With his Core Lake giving out roaring like surges, the expanding and congealing Core Lake was once again filled up in almost no time. However, Ning Cheng was aware that he had to advance to the Profound Core Realm inside this place in one go. If he could not advance to the Profound Core Realm inside here, then the next time he wanted to advance to the Profound Core Realm without having such a good place to help him out, it would turn out to be very difficult for him.
With Ning Cheng continuously absorbing the spiritual qi, the liquid true essence in his Core Lake was constantly being reinforced. The true essence kept surging in his Core Lake while at the same time was cycling through his meridians, which gave Ning Cheng a very painful feeling as if he was being torn up from the inside. It even caused some of the impurities in his body to be squeezed out by the strong true essence, showing that the true essence was essentially washing Ning Cheng’s body clean from the inside and out as it cycled through it.
Ning Cheng soon felt that something was wrong, although he did not have a master to learn from, he knew the process of advancing to the Profound Core Realm. During the process the Core Lake would continuously surge, before a golden core solidified suspended above the space above the Core Lake.
But his Core Lake, although was continuously surging around, but it was unexpectedly starting to compress the true essence, as the quantity of the true essence continued to reduce, it induced even more absorption of spiritual qi turning it into more true essence.
As time passed by, Ning Cheng was increasingly feeling weird about this, would this situation continue indefinitely. Just how much of spiritual qi would he have to absorb to form the Golden Core aah? If the three month time period was over, and he was transmitted out, then what would he even use for cultivating? Spirit stone? That
would just turn out to be a joke.
Although he knew that something was amiss, but Ning Cheng did not dare to suddenly stop cultivating. At least until this moment, even though his Golden Core has not yet started to form, his strength was still increasing, there was simply no doubt about this fact.
As a few more days flashed past, the liquid true essence in Ning Cheng’s Core Lake was still under constant compression and recompression. Spiritual qi was also continuously being absorbed and transformed into new true essence repeatedly, without showing even half a hint of change.
In the end, Ning Cheng simply stopped caring about it. And instead only focussed on the constant absorption of spiritual qi for his cultivation,
who cared if he could not form his Golden Core in time?
As long as his strength was continuously on the rise.
The only thing he felt a bit depressed about was that the time of three months was simply too short for him.
Not knowing for how long he had been cultivating for, this particular day the liquid true essence in Ning Cheng’s Core Lake suddenly stopped increasing. Ning Cheng was still in doubt when he saw the liquid true essence that was compressed to an extreme point in his Core Lake suddenly collapse into a point, before transforming into a huge and crazily rotating vortex.
He was finally starting to form his Golden Core; Ning Cheng almost went mad with joy. He knew that this phenomenon was the prelude for the formation of the Golden Core.
With his crazy absorption of spiritual qi, while simultaneously operating his cultivation method, it finally brought him to the point of forming his Golden Core.
After a full three days, the huge vortex in Ning Cheng’s Core Lake suddenly disappeared. Replaced by a dragon eye fruit sized Golden Core suspended just above his Core Lake.
