The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  “There are definitely a few ways, you can try and find a Dao Companion for dual cultivation as a way to reconcile and harmonize the Yin and Yang within your body. You can also try to find some extreme yin oriented spiritual medicines to abate the effects. But these methods are not the best way, and the effect it would have on you would also be limited.” Que Hongshui gave a somewhat detailed explanation.

  Luo Ziyan suddenly interjected, “The best way to resolve this issue would be utilising the Floating Snow Palace’s Soul Refining Snow and Ice Domain. If you cultivate in the Small Spiritual Domain for a period of time, and then go spend some time in the cultivating in the Soul Refining Snow and Ice Domain, not only would it not remain a problem anymore, but at the same time it would also smoothen out your cultivation. Unfortunately, the Soul Refining Snow and Ice Domain is under the control of the Floating Snow Palace, outside people simply would not be able to get in.”

  ……

  At this time in the main cabin of the airship type magical weapon, Bei Youfa was leisurely drinking tea, when a voice suddenly arrived from outside of the restriction on the entrance, “Disciple Wen Han requests an audience with Elder Bei.”

  “Come in.” Bei Youfa waved his hand causing the restriction on the entrance to dissolve.

  “What is the matter you wanted to talk about?” Bei Youfa looked at Wen Han and asked in puzzling manner.

  Wen Han quickly gave a customary bow, and then cautiously spoke up, “Elder Bei, there must be a huge secret on Ning Cheng’s body. He is someone who even used the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar as a hand sanitizer, moreover even a nine-coloured Mirage Stone is just garbage in his eyes. Moreover the most important thing is that he was not even the slightest bit affected in the ancient immortal cave, not even with the numerous magical weapons strewn about…”

  “What do you exactly want to say?” Elder Bei put down his cup, as he looked at Wen Han and asked in a faint voice.

  Wen Han bit his lips and spoke, “I think that Junior Apprentice Brother Ning has definitely made great contributions this time, and the academy should also reward him appropriately, but Junior Apprentice Brother Ning should also report his secret to the academy in detail as a recompense for the graciousness the academy has shown in allowing him to cultivate in it.”

  Elder Bei gave a sigh directed at Wen Han and spoke, “I have already heard that Ning Cheng had only joined the academy just three months ago, from which point does the grace of nurturing him come into play? Besides, my Rainbow Fall Sword Sect advocates disciples keeping their own secrets. Not to say about Ning Cheng, in my Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, which Core Disciple or True Inheriting Disciple or even the Elders, which one of them does not have a secret or two of their own?”

  “Wen Han, if I forced you to hand over you secrets to the academy, how would you react? I suggest that you do not walk in the footsteps of that Tang Guangxi from the Red Star Sword Faction. If you were able to learn to be grateful, then it would also enable you to climb to a higher peak. You have good qualifications yourself, do not harm yourself in going down this path, it is still not late for you to rectify your behaviour, otherwise once you feel it’s good, then only path available for you would be going down.”

  Wen Han’s face just couldn’t help but alternate between red, blue and green, before he finally managed to speak in a respectful manner, “Yes, this junior understood the lesson.” Finished speaking, he cautiously backed away.

  Elder Bei couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh at such a sight. He wanted to warn Wen Han of what he wasn’t seeing in Ning Cheng, but seeing what transpired, he was also well aware that Wen Han would definitely not stop because he said so. In the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, the disputes between disciples were something common; he could only try to mediate things from the sidelines, but cannot directly move to interfere in such matters.

  ……

  If one was asked as to who was currently on the limelight in the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect recently, then it was absolutely Ning Cheng without any doubt.

  Ning Cheng had only completed a few months since the time he had joined the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, yet he still dared to risk his life by taking up the 17th assignment of the academy. Not only that, he had only just entered the academy as an Inner Sect Disciple yet he was able to perfectly complete the 17th assignment, allowing him to not only save more than a dozen disciples from his own academy but also more than 100 elite disciples from other academies. This was equivalent to putting half the Tian Continent in debt to him, allowing him to earn a heaven shaking reputation.

  At this moment, there were legends of Ning Cheng circulating around each corner of the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect.

  “You know, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning had broken into the ancient immortal cave all by himself, and saved more than a 100 elite disciples of the major academies. Elder Bei had also personally accompanied Senior Apprentice Brother Ning to help him receive his rewards. Even the Deputy Academy Head Tantei had come out to meet Ning Cheng…..”

  “Of course I know this thing, but I heard that not only are the major academies utterly grateful towards Senior Apprentice Brother Ning Cheng, I also heard that he was going to be promoted to a True Inheriting Disciple.”

  “Senior Apprentice Brother Ning Cheng was originally a Soul Essence Cultivator, had had forcefully regressed his cultivation, so of course it was just a matter of time that he would he promoted to become a True Inheriting Disciple.”

  “Come on, I heard that Senior Apprentice Brother Ning Cheng was a rogue cultivator in the Soul Sculpting Realm, when he was inside the ancient immortal cave, he suddenly released the seal he placed on his cultivation by himself, while at the same time sealing and killing the nefarious cultivator that had trapped the other elite disciples……”

  “You can’t just say anything; cultivators above the Soul Essence Realm simply cannot enter the ancient immortal cave.”

  “Better not pull a fast one on me, that Ning Cheng is only a Profound Core 1st Level Cultivator, the only reason he was able to accomplish all that was because he was able to resist the temptations within the immortal cave. I will give you a real piece of news to open your eyes, people from the Severing Emotions Dao Sect and the Floating Snow Palace have come to meet the people from our Rainbow Fall Sword Sect. I heard that they want to act as matchmakers so that their own elite True Inheriting Disciples could marry Ning Cheng…..”

  “Bullshit, as you said that Ning Cheng is only at the Profound Core 1st Level, while the Severing Emotions Dao Sect and Floating Snow Palace’s elite True Inheriting Disciples are all at least at the late stages of the Soul Essence Realm, why would those people take the initiative to propose a marriage alliance between the sects?”

  “Hehe, do you even realize how rich Ning Cheng is? He has the things most needed by the Severing Emotions Dao Sect and Floating Snow Palaces, forget it, you shouldn’t speak about things that you don’t understand…..”

  The cultivator, who had laughed, simply turned around and no longer participated in the discussion, and soon left the area.

  ……

  As the talks about Ning Cheng were raging outside like a storm, at this time, Ning Cheng had already arrived at the Small Spiritual Domain. Elder Bei was quite good to Ning Cheng, not only did he personally accompany him to receive his rewards, he was also aware that Ning Cheng was very much in need of cultivation jade cards for the Small Spiritual Domain, as such he himself took the initiative to bestow upon Ning Cheng an additional three months’ worth of jade cards.

  Ning Cheng also reciprocated in kind, and gave Elder Bei three full bottles of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar. Although the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar was finally exposed, Ning Cheng still felt that he must not bring out this big volume more than once.

  At this point, Ning Cheng, even if he did not have to use the one million contribution points that he was rewarded with, he still had nineteen months’ worth of cultivation time in the Small Spiritual Domain. Alth
ough the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect did not obtain any benefits from this Academy Assignment to the Great Liang True Country, but it still undoubtedly revealed the heroic spirit of the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect. Not only Ning Cheng was rewarded for his efforts, but even all the cultivators who had participated in this assignment were also rewarded with a month’s’ worth of cultivation time in the Small Spiritual Domain.

  Liang Kexin also had received a month’s worth of cultivation time in the Small Spiritual Domain, even if Liang Kexin repeatedly said that one month of time was more than enough for her, Ning Cheng still gave her back a jade card that he owed Liang Kexin.

  Ning Cheng, who now still had eighteen months of cultivation time with him, did not rush to immediately start cultivating in the Small Spiritual Domain, rather he took his time in searching for a place where the spiritual qi was the most abundant.

  After wasting four days, Ning Cheng finally was able to zero in on a piece of white stone.

  Once he found the location for his cultivation, Ning Cheng then proceeded to calmly arrange a variety of array formations. He decided that he would cultivate at this spot until he reached the Great Circle of the Profound Core Realm before he went out. If not for the fact that the Small Spiritual Domain was not suitable for crossing the tribulation, he had actually planned to use up all eighteen months of time inside this place.

  In the guest welcoming hall of the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, an old man could be seen accompanying a beautiful woman as they spoke with each other. In addition to the old man, there was also a middle aged man in Confucian scholarly robes who was accompanying the two of them from the side.

  “Junior Apprentice Brother Bei, you and Ning Cheng can be said to be somewhat familiar with each other, can you help me out in explaining a few things to Palace Master Sang.” The old man who was sitting at the main seat looked at the middle aged old man and spoke with a smile.

  The old man was none other than one of the three Deputy Academy Heads of the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, while the one woman he was accompanying was Palace Master Sang, one of the seven Palace Masters of the Floating Snow Palace, Sang Jiezhu. As for the middle aged scholar, he was none other than the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s Elder Bei Youfa, who was very optimistic about Ning Cheng.

  Elder Bei hesitated for a bit before he spoke, “Palace Master Sang, although Ning Cheng was able to accomplish a few things but it was something solely out of luck, in all honestly his cultivation is simply too low, only at the Profound Core 1st Level. Just the cultivation of the Floating Snow Palace’s Core Disciples is already in the Soul Essence Realm, while the cultivation of your True Inheriting Disciples is even higher. Moreover, each one of the female disciples of the Floating Snow Palace is someone equivalent to a maiden fairy in the mortal world, how can a small Inner Sect Disciple of my Rainbow Fall Sword Sect enter their eyes? Moreover warrant Palace Master Sang to personally come to my Rainbow Fall Sword Sect?”

  Sang Jiezhu just gave a smile and said, “Ning Cheng is definitely someone with extraordinary potential, although his cultivation is only at the Profound Core 1st Level, I believe that with his ability, he would soon become the focus of development within the academy. Combined with the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s world famous Small Spiritual Domain, for Ning Cheng to advance to the Soul Essence Realm, I believe that it would not require much time.”

  The Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s Deputy Academy Head Tantei Fei on hearing these words also gave a smile and said, “In the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, in order to use the Small Spiritual Domain, even if one had extraordinary future potential, they would have to make a huge contribution towards the Academy, moreover the Small Spiritual Domain is also not a panacea.”

  Sang Jiezhu simply did not seem to care about such a thing, and still spoke with a smile, “After my Floating Snow Palace’s True Inhering Disciple Zheng Nianyun went back and spoke about the matter regarding Ning Cheng, it caused a lot of the female disciples of my Floating Snow Palace to hold him in high regards. Ning Cheng also has a great future, maybe he might even become a True Inheriting Disciple soon. As such my Floating Snow Palace naturally cannot wrong him, Yin Kongchan is one of my Floating Snow Palace’s disciple with the best qualifications, I believe that even with her appearance and qualification, she barely is worthy of Ning Cheng……”

  “Yin Kongchan? Palace master Sang, are you referring to the Yin Kongchan, who took the ninth spot among the top Soul Essence Realm Disciples of the ten major academies?” Bei Youfa spoke out with an incredulous expression.

  Yin Kongchan already possessed the cultivation level of the great circle of the Soul Essence Realm a few years ago; at this moment, there was a high chance that she was now a cultivator in the Soul Sculpting Realm. Moreover, Yin Kongchan’s appearance was absolutely no less inferior to his own Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s Luo Ziyan. With this immeasurably excellent disciple, how can she be barely worthy of Ning Cheng? It was not that Ning Cheng could not marry other people, but why would the Floating Snow Palace want their most outstanding disciple to marry Ning Cheng? Moreover, why would they even advocate a marriage alliance between the academies?

  “That’s right, a few years ago, the listings of the top ten Soul Essence Realm Disciples from the major academies had a huge change, and Kongchan really took the ninth spot.” Sang Jiezhu spoke out casually.

  Bei Youfa and the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s Deputy Academy Head gave a glance at each other before Elder Bei spoke up, “Palace Master Sang, Ning Cheng still is cultivating in seclusion in the Small Spiritual Domain, we also cannot arbitrarily call the shots on such a matter, moreover only after he comes out would he be able to reply to you.”

  “Of course, it is only natural, since this matter is related to martial nephew Ning Cheng, so of course; this matter would require his personal approval.” Sang Jiezhu empathetically replied.

  After saying that, she was just about to ask as to when Ning Cheng would be coming out when Tantei Fei suddenly spoke up, “What a good day is it today, for even the Severing Emotion Dao Sect’s Elder Shi to also grace my Rainbow Fall Sword Sect?”

  Tantei Fei stood up and spoke with an apologetic voice to Sang Jiezhu, “Palace Master Sang, please allow me to receive Elder Shi…..”

  Sang Jiezhu also spoke up with a smile as if she did not care about such a thing, “Perhaps I know the reason why Senior Apprentice Sister Qionghua decided to bless us with her presence. Deputy Academy Head Tantei should definitely receive her, I have also not seen Senior Apprentice Sister Qionghua in a long time, it would also be good to get together with Senior Apprentice Sister Qionghua and catch up about the old days.”

  Unfortunately, Tantei Fei could only give an exasperated nod. He knew that although Sang Jiezhu spoke in a nice and polite manner, but the fact was that the Floating Snow Palace and the Severing Emotions Dao Sect have a huge rivalry between them.

  Just a short while later, Tantei Fei came in with a woman wearing a white robe. The woman’s face was expressionless, bordering on coldness. This female cultivator held her hair in a simple bun, and was carrying a large sword strapped to her back.

  The woman on coming in also saw Sang Jiezhu, and was slightly stunned for a moment, before she immediately restored her expression to what it was originally, before she cupped her fists towards Bei Youfa and spoke, “Severing Emotions Dao Sect’s Shi Qionghua greets Senior Apprentice Brother Bei……”

  “Cluck Cluck, Senior Apprentice Sister Qionghua truly is getting more and more beautiful as the years pass by; even my heart is moved looking at you.” Although this Shi Qionghua did not take the initiative to greet Sang Jiezhu, but Sang Jiezhu actively took the initiative to make a greeting to this Shi Qionghua.

  Her
words were also not wrong, although Shi Qionghua had an eternally cold expression on her face, but she was absolutely beautiful. Not only was she matchlessly beautiful, even her delicate and pretty appearance was by no means vulgar, combined with her not so ordinary name, one simply couldn’t help but compare her to an exquisite jade. If she stopped at a place, then it would feel as if she was a mass of light clouds wrapped together, making other people who gazed at her to feel a sense of inferiority.

  [TL Note – ‘Exquisite Jade’ here is written as ‘Qiong Yu’ in Chinese which has an almost similar pronunciation to ‘Qionghua’ which is her name, that translates to ‘Exquisite Flower’.]

  “Does not dare, Junior Apprentice Sister Sang is also not ugly to look at.” Shi Qionghua’s tone was flat, as she returned a sentence without any flavour.

  Seeing the two people exchange words that might lead to further provocation, Elder Bei quickly led Shi Qionghua to sit down, and personally poured a cup of top quality spiritual tea for Shi Qionghua.

  As Shi Qionghua took a sip of the spiritual tea, Elder Bei also spoke up in a polite voice, “For Elder Shi to visit my Rainbow Fall Sword Sect is truly an honour for my Rainbow Fall Sword Sect……”

  Shi Qionghua still spoke in a plain manner, “Although I am here for some matters, but am unaware of if your Academy’s Ning Cheng is still available?”

  “Once Ning Cheng came back, he went into seclusion inside the Small Spiritual Domain; it could be guessed that he would not be coming out within a short period of time.” Elder Bei quickly replied, while in his heart he was vaguely feeling that Shi Qionghua’s purpose in coming here might just be similar to that of Sang Jiezhu.

  Sure enough Shi Qionghua gave a slight frown, before he replied, “Ning Cheng’s cultivation is truly quite low. Cultivating in seclusion is also a good thing.”

  Tantei Fei could help but speak up, “Could it be that Elder Shi knows Ning Cheng?”
