Will to Live
Dudu carefully knocked a little off one of the Heaven Spirit Crystals. It was about the size of a fingernail, and then put the rest away.
"This is enough for today's Qi Gathering Pills. If I can exchange for two, I'll treat you to one."
Dudu gave Ning Qi a bright smile.
"You go first. I want to familiarize myself with this place."
Ning Qi smiled.
"Alright, don't wander around."
Dudu hesitated for a moment, nodded and said.
After she left, Ning Qi also walked out of the tent. Ignoring the malicious gazes of the 'miners' around him, he pretended to stroll around casually. Not long after, he saw an incomparably huge tent near the stone building. There were even two guards standing at the entrance, eyeing the people around them covetously.
Ning Qi recognized these two. They were two of the people who had been mocking Shentu Yuanba.
Seeing Ning Qi look at them, the two stared at Ning Qi. Ning Qi pretended to lower his head in fear. Only then did they look at each other and let out a hearty laugh.
"Laugh all you want …" Ning Qi sneered in his heart. Suddenly, he saw a very dilapidated tent not far from the huge tent. It was full of holes. What attracted Ning Qi's attention was the back view that flashed by.
Ning Qi purposely circled a few times. When the two fellows were not paying attention, he slowly walked to the front of the dilapidated tent. With a flash, he entered the tent.
"Who is it!"
Shentu Yuanba turned around vigilantly and shouted. His face was solemn with a trace of exhaustion. When he saw Ning Qi's appearance, his expression became extremely shocked.
"Master."
Ning Qi went forward and bowed respectfully.
"You, you, why are you here …"
Shentu Yuanba's voice was trembling. He looked at Ning Qi in disbelief. When he was imprisoned in the Draconic Penitentiary and brought to the Sky Prison to become a 'miner', Shentu Yuanba never thought that he would see Ning Qi again. Was he seeing things? Or was Ning Qi really appearing in front of him?
"Master, I'm here to pick you up."
Ning Qi said softly. At the same time, he glanced at Shentu Yuanba. He did not see his Qian Kun ring. It should have been taken away in the Amethyst Dragon Clan. Otherwise, he would not have lost Qi Gathering Pills, causing his cultivation to fall by two stars!
"Come in and pick me up?"
Shentu Yuanba's face revealed a trace of sorrow. He already understood what was going on. Looking at Ning Qi, his eyes were slightly red as he muttered to himself, "Foolish child, foolish child …"
"Master, don't be sad. I've already convinced Lifeless Thorn. He's agreed to let me take you out," Shi Feng said.
Ning Qi whispered.
Shentu Yuanba was stunned. Then, a look of disbelief appeared on his face. He stared blankly at Ning Qi, "What did you say? Will Lifeless Thorn let us out? "
How was this possible?
The Dragon race was the most vengeful!
The Redbud Dragon Tribe was the strongest of the Purple Thorns Dragon Tribe. How could Lifeless Thorn agree to let him go after he had killed a few of them?
Ning Qi explained everything that had happened in a low voice. When he heard that Ning Qi had used the Dragon Blood Fruit to exchange for this opportunity, Shentu Yuanba's face was filled with gratitude and regret.
She was touched that Ning Qi had used the extremely rare Dragon Blood Fruit to save her and even entered the Draconic Penitentiary without fearing for his life.
Shentu Yuanba regretted his actions back then. He had been too impulsive. Not only had he put his disciple in danger, but he had also caused the sect to lose a large sum of tribute and Dragon Blood Fruit!
"So, Master, don't be sad. The most important thing for us now is to find a way to leave this Heavenly Prison. I don't know why the Primordial Chaos Venerable went crazy. He captured me the moment he heard that I was from the Cloud Rising Sect."
Ning Qi smiled bitterly.
"Actually, I know a little about this matter …" Shentu Yuanba was just about to open his mouth and tell Ning Qi a little of the secret that he knew when he subconsciously swept a glance at Ning Qi. He said in a stunned voice, "You are now a seven star Dou Huang?"
Ning Qi smiled and nodded.
Shentu Yuanba revealed a look of pleasant surprise. The last time he had seen Ning Qi, he had only been a peak Dou Wang. It had only been a few months, and he was already a seven star Dou Huang? Such a cultivation speed was too terrifying. If Ning Qi was considered an ordinary heaven's pride in the past, he was now comparable to the heaven's pride of the Nine Great Clans!
Of course, in Shentu Yuanba's heart, the heaven's pride of the Nine Great Clans was only at Fang Bai's level. He did not know that Ning Qi had far surpassed Fang Bai. Even his elder brother was no match for Ning Qi.
"If you can't return to Dongxuan because of me, I will be the sinner of the Cloud Rising Sect."
Shentu Yuanba's face revealed a bitter expression.
"Master, why are you mentioning this? Even if we can't get out, it doesn't mean that we can't show our strength in this Draconic Prison." Ning Qi comforted.
Shentu Yuanba's aura changed when he heard this. His tired and dispirited expression instantly disappeared!
He had already lost his will to live. Now that he saw Ning Qi, his heart was filled with the desire to live.
"Yes, I can't die here. Even if I can't get out, I must at least stay alive. Only then can I watch him and see how far he can grow!"
Shentu Yuanba looked at Ning Qi with sparkling eyes.
Ning Qi smiled inwardly when he saw Shentu Yuanba's aura change. He knew that his words had an effect. Subsequently, Ning Qi took out two Inferior Earth-ranked Qi Amassing Pills from his spatial bag. These were dropped from the gambling gift bag. Ning Qi did not have the chance to use them. There were all sorts of things in his spatial bag. If he carefully sorted them out and sold them, he could probably earn a considerable amount of Spirit Crystals.
Ning Qi handed the pills to Shentu Yuanba and said, "Master, take these pills first. If nothing goes wrong, I will find a way to get out in two or three days."
The deadline of two or three days was imposed by Ning Qi himself. Even if he escaped, he might not be able to reach the exit of the Draconic Penitentiary. At that time, if Lifeless Thorn and the others were not outside, he still wouldn't be able to get out.
Joy flashed in Shentu Yuanba's eyes. He took the pills and waved his hand, saying, "Go out first. Don't let Tu Ba's men see you. Be careful outside."
"Yes, Master."
Ning Qi nodded. He turned around and observed his surroundings. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he quickly slipped away.
Not long after Ning Qi left, someone strolled to the entrance of Shentu Yuanba's tent. This person laughed disdainfully at Shentu Yuanba before swaggering off.
…
Inside the stone tower:
The three-star Dou Zong that Ning Qi had seen before, an old man with a wrinkled face and nearing the end of his lifespan, coldly looked at the queue in front of him. He took pieces of Heaven Spirit Crystals from them and gave them Inferior Earth-ranked Qi Amassing Pills according to the number of Heaven Spirit Crystals they had.
"Elder Qiao …"
When it was Huyan Gaolong's turn, he hesitated for a moment before deciding to carry out his plan. He then transmitted his voice to the old man.
"What's the matter?"
The old man looked at him coldly.
"The newcomer obtained a very large piece of Heaven Spirit Crystal. However, I don't think he has any intention of exchanging it for Qi Amassing Pills …"
