The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

by Demon Translations

  The stone room was elegant and straightforward, there was a jade table placed in the middle with a few chairs. In addition to it, there were also two more doors on either side of the room they were in. Ning Cheng swept out with his Spiritual Consciousness and found that there were two more rooms behind each door. Not only that, but the rooms had a cultivation futon laid out, as well as a bed and some simple daily necessities.

  “No wonder you were able to cultivate so quickly, to be able to cultivate in this place, is simply a blessing.” Ning Cheng sighed and spoke. He immediately fell in love with this place.

  Shi Qionghua seeing Ning Cheng became very fond of this place, felt even more happy in her heart, “Uncle Yu said that this is one of the safest places in the Sifting Orchid Star, even if the volcano outside erupts, one would be safe and sound in here…….”

  Shi Qionghua’s words suddenly came to a pause, at the same time, she also took a few steps forward, as she anxiously picked up a jade strip and a piece of talisman from a corner. After she looked at the jade strip, her face immediately changed.

  “What happened?” Ning Cheng quickly asked.

  Shi Qionghua did not give Ning Cheng the jade strip to take a look, but hesitated a bit before she finally spoke up, “Uncle Yu came back, and this jade talisman and the jade strip were left behind by him. After he came here, he immediately left on a trip…..”

  Ning Cheng also did not continue to ask about, since Shi Qionghua felt reluctant to speak, so why should he ask again?

  Seemingly, under the influence of the message from the jade strip, Shi Qionghua turned silent. Ning Cheng frowned, he was about to speak, when Shi Qionghua suddenly took out two rings and handed it to Ning Cheng and talked, “These are Qi Le’s and Yan De’s rings, you can take a look at what is inside.”

  Ning Cheng just nodded but did not say anything. If Shi Qionghua thought that matter was important enough to tell him, then she would eventually tell him. With their relationship between the two of them being that of a husband and wife, was there anything to hide from each other?

  He quickly opened Yan De’s ring, causing Ning Cheng to go into shock on seeing piles of various precious materials and advanced level Spiritual-Grasses. There were at least a thousand Level 5 and Level 6 Spiritual Grasses each, and more than ten Level 7 Spiritual Grasses. As for precious materials, there were piles after piles of them. Although there were only a small amount of Spirit Stones inside, these other things were much more valuable than Spirit Stones.

  Ning Cheng then impatiently opened up Qi Le’s ring, which caused rich astonishment to flash across Ning Cheng’s face. Qi Le’s ring had the highest amount of Spirit Stones that he had ever seen in his life; just the piles of Spirit Stones visible to him amounted to at least two to three hundred million in number. This made Ning Cheng suspect that this fellow might have dug up a Spirit Stone Mine sometime in the past, otherwise, where would one even find these many Spirit Stones?

  He had worked his ass off to sell a barrel of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar, only to raise around 80 million Spirit Stones. Currently, those eighty million Spirit Stones were almost entirely used up by him, leaving behind only a scant few.

  What was even more surprising for Ning Cheng was that there were also 23 best quality Spirit Stones in Qi Le’s ring. In addition to the black banner Magical Weapon that was still outside, Qi Le’s ring also contained seven or eight attack type Magical Weapons and even a few defensive Magical Weapons. There was also a flight type Magical Weapon that was an incredibly high-quality airship on the level of a low-grade True Artefact.

  There were several times more Level 6 and below Spiritual Grasses in his ring compared to Yan De’s ting, even Level 7 Spiritual Grasses numbered in dozens. In addition to those items, Ning Cheng also saw a Spiritual Grass that was kept preserved separately from the others. This Spiritual-Grass was held in a high-quality jade box with heavy restrictions over it and was also covered by a thin layer of frost.

  This unexpectedly turned out to be a Level 9 Spiritual Grass known as the Frost Sprout. Initially, to save him, Xu Yingdei had burned her own life, so Ning Cheng had planned to look for the Frost Sprout to help Xu Yingdei. He had never thought that the first thing he would find on arriving at the Sifting Orchid Star would be the Frost Sprout rather than the Heavenly Cusp Flower. This was indeed a happy surprise.

  Of course, Ning Cheng certainly would never give this only strain of Frost Sprout to Xu Yingdei. The Frost Sprout was something precious; its value was not much lower than the Underworld Soul Flower.

  “Qionghua, we ended up raking in a huge harvest, this Qi Le was really too rich.” Ning Cheng could not help but call out in joy.

  Shi Qionghua also felt the joy from Ning Cheng, causing a gentle smile to emerge on her face, before she spoke, “Just wait.”

  Finished speaking, Shi Qionghua entered one of the rooms, a moment later, Shi Qionghua came out with a jade strip in her hand. She gave Ning Cheng the jade strip and spoke, “Take a look at this first.”

  Ning Cheng received the jade strip, and swept it with his Spiritual Consciousness, before he quickly looked up at Shi Qionghua in shock, “Qionghua, is this the complete Body-Forging Cultivation Method that you use?”

  Shi Qionghua nodded and replied, “This was left behind by Uncle Yu, but I heard that it had been revised a few times before, so it might not necessarily be exactly the same as the original one. But in the Yi Xing Mainland, this is definitely one of the most complete Body-Forging Cultivation Method. The ways of Body-Forging is also divided into nine different ranks, the first three are for the Spiritual Body, and next three are for the Imperial Body, while the latter three ranks are for God Body.”

  Ordinary cultivators who have never undergone Body-Forging can only be considered as having a mortal body. Although many cultivators do not undergo Body-Forging, as their cultivation increases to a certain degree, their corporeal body would also grow stronger. However, even if they turned stronger, they would be unable to contend against cultivators specialising in Body-Forging.

  “So you are already at the 5th Rank of Body-Forging?” Ning Cheng immediately remembered Shi Qionghua saying that she was already at Rank 5 Imperial Body, asking instantly.

  Shi Qionghua gave an ‘um’ sound and continued on, “When I was ten years old, I already possessed a Rank 5 Imperial Body, but for almost two decades after that, I was only able to improve upon it only a bit. I planned to come here with you to continue with Body-Forging. It’s just……”

  Ning Cheng frowned; it looks like the enumerations from the jade strip were still weighing on Shi Qionghua’s mind. He did not have a considerable male chauvinistic ego, but this Uncle Yu seemed to have a substantial influence on Shi Qionghua and was also able to sense Shi Qionghua’s intent to leave, causing him to feel uncomfortable in his heart.

  Shi Qionghua, as if feeling Ning Cheng’s thoughts, immediately arrived at Ning Cheng’s side, and sat down right next to Ning Cheng, then grabbing Ning Cheng’s hand, she spoke, “My husband, I will come back quickly. Uncle Yu had left behind a Void Cleaving Talisman for me. Once I take care of some matters, I will immediately come back here to accompany you. Then we can return to Jiangzhou to see sister Ruolan.”

  “Let’s work together, one more person would mean one more addition to our strength.” Ning Cheng spoke without hesitation. Although Shi Qionghua’s cultivation was far higher than his own was, she was someone who was inherently kind natured. If he did not accompany her, then he would always be worried about her and would never be able to feel at ease.

  Shi Qionghua handed Ning Cheng the jade strip in her hand and spoke, “This is what Uncle Yu had left behind for me. Take a look at it first, and then you’ll come to know.”

  “Little Shi, this old slave was able to find a Natural Divinatory Porcelain in the Sifting Orchid Star and was able to divine the position of the City Master and the Principal Wife. You were not here when I came back, but this old slave knows that Little Shi would remain unharmed. Therefore, this old slave went ahead to look for City Master and the Principal Wife first. If Little Shi comes back, then you can use this Void Cleaving Talisman to head back, it would immediately bring you to the Qin Wu City. The sooner you can come the better it would be, your old slave Yu Xin.”

  Ning Cheng put down the jade strip and asked in doubt, “Qionghua, is your father a city’s City master? On which continent is the Qin Wu City located in?”

  Shi Qionghua gripped Ning Cheng’s hand and spoke, “I have not heard of Qin Wu City, but since it is something that can only be reached by using the Void Cleaving Talisman, then it should definitely not be in the Yi Xing Mainland. Because I only have a single Void Cleaving Talisman, I do not have any means to bring you together with me. Moreover, you cultivation is too low at this moment. Stay here and cultivate for a bit, I will certainly come back.”

  Ning Cheng smiled and spoke, “Qionghua, did you forget that I have a Miniature World Ring? It can definitely bring people along.”

  Shi Qionghua shook her head and spoke, “The Miniature World Ring contains a living space. Moreover, there is also the possibility that the grade of Void Cleaving Talisman that Uncle Yu left behind might be too low, as such it would be of no use in sustaining and even carrying a living space. If one tries to forcibly carry it, then it might even cause it to break open due to the interference and be permanently damaged by the Laws of Space. In that event, any kind of living space would be twisted into nihility.”

  The smile on Ning Cheng’s face immediately froze, from the bottom of his heart, he honestly did not want Shi Qionghua to leave.

  “My husband, when my parents were attacked in the past, I was just born. My parents had left me to the care of Uncle Yu, and it was Uncle Yu who had taken me and escaped. Over the years that I have been with Uncle Yu, he has been trying to extrapolate my parents’ location. Now that Uncle Yu had gone back, then it means he undoubtedly must have obtained some concrete evidence. My husband, you currently possess a Rank 2 Spiritual Body in regards to Body-Forging, when I come back, presumably you would also have cultivated to Rank 5.” Shi Qionghua continued to explain gently.

  Ning Cheng wanted to speak a few words, but he forcibly swallowed them down, how could he not allow Shi Qionghua to look for her parents?

  After a short while, he spoke up with some unwillingness, “Qionghua, how did your Uncle Yu bring you here?”

  “Uncle Yu burned thousands of years of his life, and with the help of my parents was able to tear apart a rip in space. Then utilising innumerable Void Escaping Talismans and a High-Grade Flight Type True Artefact, it took nearly three years before we are able to reach this place.” Shi Qionghua explained.

  Ning Cheng frowned, “Qionghua. Since there was a Void Cleaving Talisman, why didn’t your Uncle Yu use the Void Cleaving Talisman to take you away? Moreover, why didn’t your parents use the Void Cleaving Talisman to escape?”

  Shi Qionghua also had never thought of these questions, but now that Ning Cheng asked them, she could only reply in doubt, “I really don’t know why.”

  “Can you show me that Void Cleaving Talisman?” Ning Cheng’s tone was dignified, if the jade strip left behind by Uncle Yu were real, then Shi Qionghua would definitely want to find her parents. Moreover, even Ning Cheng would also not feel right in preventing such a thing. However, this matter was apparently somewhat strange, so he had to turn more cautious.

  Shi Qionghua completely trusted Ning Cheng, and without any hesitation took out the talisman and placed it in Ning Cheng’s hands.

  Ning Cheng was also a Tier 5 Talisman Grand Master, although he was not qualified to refine Void Cleaving Talismans yet, that did not mean that he was unable to sense any problems with the talisman. Just like a distinguished grandmaster, who might not be able to draw a masterpiece, but that would not mean that he could not appreciate a masterpiece of a painting.

  Seeing Ning Cheng was carefully looking over the Void Cleaving Talisman in hand, Shi Qionghua asked with a somewhat worried voice, “My husband, this Void Cleaving Talisman…..”

  Ning Cheng placed the Void Cleaving Talisman back into Shi Qionghua’s hand and spoke, “Qionghua, this Void Clearing Talisman contains strong spatial fluctuations. I guess that the Talisman itself does not have an issue with it, either that or I am not able to sense if it has any issues with it.”

  Although he said that, Ning Cheng still had a nagging feeling that there was something strange with this Uncle Yu’s words. But as to where this issue lied, he was not able to figure out.

  Shi Qionghua sighed and spoke, “Without Uncle Yu, I would have perished a long time ago. Uncle Yu is like my grandfather, he will not hurt me. Moreover, there is also the aura of Uncle Yu’s spiritual sense on this talisman, it is something that I can feel extremely clearly, even that jade strip is something that was definitely left behind by Uncle Yu.”

  Seeing Ning Cheng silent, Shi Qionghua suddenly took the initiative to hug Ning Cheng into her bosom. Even she felt that although she and Ning Cheng were considered to be newly married, her leaving Ning Cheng in such an abrupt manner was also unfair towards him, her husband.

  Ning Cheng could feel the heat rising in Shi Qionghua’s body, he was well aware that Shi Qionghua had to go back, otherwise, if she always stayed with him in the same place with this knowledge, it would never be happy for either of them.

  Ning Cheng tightly hugged Shi Qionghua, before he took out a rusty copper coin and placed it in her hand and said, “Qionghua, I see that you do not have any special treasures of your own. This is my Five Elements Treasure Fall Copper Coin, you can keep it with you.”

  Shi Qionghua hurriedly pushed it back and spoke, “My cultivation is higher than you, you can keep it with you I do not need it.”

  Ning Cheng gave a smile and spoke, “I have many more things on me, things that you still do not know about. Plus, I also have the Thunder City, and the banner we obtained from Qi Le, this banner is also a good thing. For me, this copper coin is still a bit difficult for use currently.”

  If not for Ning Cheng unable to pass on the Everlasting Blue Thunder City, he would have definitely given the Everlasting Blue Thunder City to Shi Qionghua. However, he also knew that even if he chose to provide the Everlasting Blue Thunder City to Shi Qionghua, Shi Qionghua would not take it, so he might as well give the Treasure Fall Copper Coin to Shi Qionghua.

  Seeing that Shi Qionghua was about to refuse, Ning Cheng clenched his hand tightly and spoke, “If you push it back again, then I will not allow you to walk out of this place.”

  Shi Qionghua’s eyes immediately turned red, she was aware of what level of treasure was Ning Cheng’s Five Elements Treasure Fall Copper Coin. If she possessed the Five Elements Treasure Fall Copper Coin, then her strength would definitely increase by a considerable level. Yet this kind of treasure Ning Cheng still chose to give to her, from this it could be seen that Ning Cheng really cared about her very much.

  This time she did not push it back, instead she once again tightly hugged Ning Cheng as she covered Ning Cheng’s lips with her own. This was the first time for her to take the initiative, as it was always Ning Cheng who had been active in this regard.

  Ning Cheng found himself instantly lost under this kind of fiery tenderness, he did not even remember if he was the one who held Shi Qionghua as they made their way to the bed, or if Shi Qionghua had carried him to the bed.

  ……

  Shi Qionghua carefully sat from Ning Cheng’s side, she lowered her head and once again gently kissed Ning Cheng’s face repeatedly. From the bottom of her heart, she honestly did not want to and even hated the idea of leaving Ning Cheng. But because of the matter at hand, she had to put Ning
Cheng into a deep sleep. Otherwise, she would never be able to decide or even become determined to leave Ning Cheng temporarily.

  With every moment she spent with Ning Cheng, it made her satisfied and content. From the depths of her heart, no one could or would replace Ning Cheng. However, it was clear that her parents had their own difficulties, if she did not go back, then she would never be able to feel at ease. At this moment, she already made up her mind, that as long as she found that her parents were all right, she would immediately come back, forever accompanying Ning Cheng. She loved this kind of peace, love and the pleasant feelings that came from being together with Ning Cheng.

  After Ning Cheng woke up, he did not move away from the bed. There was still the fragrance of Shi Qionghua from his side, with a bitter and astringent taste lingering at the corners of his mouth. He realised that these were tears left behind by Shi Qionghua. Even that soft feeling in the palm of his hand was still there, but Shi Qionghua was already gone.

  Before Shi Qionghua put him into a deep sleep, Ning Cheng was already aware of it, but he chose not to resist. If he was sober, then perhaps he might have changed his mind about it and would not have let Shi Qionghua go. He understood Shi Qionghua, if Shi Qionghua was replaced by him, then matters relating to his own parents, he most probably would have done the same thing.

  Out of the hundreds of millions of spirit stones, Shi Qionghua only took away 10 million with her. From this Ning Cheng speculated that Shi Qionghua had taken them to stimulate the Void Cleaving Talisman. The Void Cleaving Talisman was entirely different from ordinary talismans. Not only would the Talisman need to be activated as usual, but at the same time, it would also require the assistance of massive quantities of Spiritual Qi.

  When he realised that Shi Qionghua had indeed walked away, Ning Cheng suddenly felt utterly empty.
