After blocking the original entrance to the rock cave, Ning Cheng still did not feel relieved, as he arranged a simple Shielding Array Formation, and once again returned to the Spiritual Essence Pond.
Ning Cheng did not touch the materials of the One Horned Flood Dragon. He didn't know how to refine artifacts, especially that Flood Dragon horn. He planned to use it to refine a fine needle artifact for sneak attacks. At this time Ning Cheng took out the Storage Bag of the long bearded man, what he wanted to know the most was whether the long bearded man had a map of the Daan Forest or not.
The goat bearded man's Storage Bag, according to An Yi's words, should be called a Storage Bag, the space inside it was really small and pitiful. The things inside were also pitifully few. In addition to a few low-level spirit herbs, there were a few unknown pills and a jade slip whose contents could not be seen. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
The most precious thing that the goat bearded man had, was the Four Edged Sword that Ning Cheng had confiscated.
Ning Cheng once again threw the goat bearded man's Storage Bag into his own Storage Bag, as he felt somewhat disappointed in his heart. Since he could not find the map, then in the future he would have to rely on his own ability to get out of the Daan Forest. This long bearded man had said that he could cross the Daan Forest, if it was not a lie, then it meant that he had already memorized the safe route in his mind.
…
Cultivation did not have the luxury of time, with the help of a small Spiritual Pond, Ning Cheng spent almost all of his time on cultivation. Although Ning Cheng used the Spiritual Essence Pond to cultivate, it was different from the One Horned Flood Dragon. The One Horned Flood Dragon knew that it could not absorb all the Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Essence Pond in one go. As for Ning Cheng, he directly drained the pond to catch the fish. He was afraid that he would absorb a little less, so why would he care about using it sparingly?
A month later, Ning Cheng advanced to the Qi Gathering 6th Level. Three months later, Ning Cheng broke through the intermediate stages of the Qi Gathering Realm, and arrived at the Qi Gathering 7th Level. At this moment, the true energy in his body had formed a stream, and when it moved, it was like true energy, incomparably powerful. Five months later, Ning Cheng advanced to the Qi Gathering 8th Level, but at the same time he had to leave this small Spiritual Essence Pond.
He had already used up all the spiritual energy in the Spirit Essence Pond. It would probably take him at least three years to gather such a pond of spiritual liquid.
Ning Cheng believed that he would not stay here and wait for three years, he was already at the Qi Gathering 8th Level, and would soon advance to the Qi Gathering 9th Level. Once he reached the Qi Gathering 9th Level, he would have to face the problem of how to enter the True Condensation Realm.
In the Ping Continent, there were very few True Condensation Cultivators, in addition to the scarcity of Spiritual Qi resources and the problem of Spiritual Roots, there was also another reason why there was no True Condensation Pill.
The True Condensation Pill was something that a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 9th Level must use in order to advance to the True Condensation Realm, Ning Cheng had also seen in the Jade Strip that Fang Jian had given him that there were some people who did not need the True Condensation Pill to advance to the True Condensation Realm, but Ning Cheng was sure that he was not that kind of person. If he wanted to advance to the True Condensation Realm, then he might not even need a single True Condensation Pill.
Refining the True Condensation Pill required more than ten kinds of precious Spiritual Grasses, but the most important one, and also the most difficult to obtain, was the Golden Cicada Fruit. Ning Cheng had a Golden Cicada Fruit on him, so he decided to leave this place and find someone to refine it into a True Condensation Pill.
…
Ning Cheng obviously thought that things were too simple, the Daan Forest did not give him a way out just because he had advanced to the Qi Gathering 8th Level. For an entire month, Ning Cheng was still trapped at the edge of the Clear Water Lake.
It was not that he did not want to go out, but over the course of a month, Ning Cheng found that every area of the Daan Forest was guarded by an extremely powerful Monstrous Beast. During the time he was looking for a way out, he encountered more than ten Class 2 Monstrous Beasts, and even encountered Class 3 Monstrous Beasts twice.
If he had not run away quickly, and the Class 3 Monstrous Beasts did not chase after him, he would not have been able to stay at the Clear Water Lake.
But Ning Cheng was also not without some gains, there were already many Monstrous Beasts that had tacitly agreed that the Clear Water Lake was his territory, this was the result of Ning Cheng killing several Class 2 Monstrous Beasts.
Ning Cheng was now at the Qi Gathering 8th Level, he had modified the 36 Profound Ice Sword Technique, and could now cast 12 of them. But this was not the biggest gain for him, his biggest gain was that with the cultivation of Qi Gathering 8th Level, he was able to step on a Flying Sword and fly for a certain distance.
The Cultivation Method to fly on a Flying Sword was something that Ning Cheng had obtained from the Jade Strip that was given to him by Fang Jianyi, which made Ning Cheng feel very proud of himself. In the Ping Continent, even some of the cultivators in the True Condensation Realm were not able to step on a Flying Sword, but now he, a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 8th Level, was able to do it.
Even if Ning Cheng knew that his cultivation was high enough that he could step on a Flying Sword, but when he really stepped on a Flying Sword, his heart was still filled with excitement. Before, when he had shot out the Fireball and the Wind Edge, he had never felt this kind of excitement. Fortunately, Ning Cheng was aware of his own limitations, he was very clear that if he wanted to fly out of the Daan Forest, his cultivation was still far from enough.
In a month's time, Ning Cheng had killed hundreds of Class 1 and below Monstrous Beasts. He was constantly looking for a way out, and constantly had to pass through the territories of other Monstrous Beasts, which also caused him to constantly have conflicts with other Monstrous Beasts. Once, he even beheaded dozens of Class 1 Monstrous Wolves in one breath. Using the 36 Profound Ice Sword Technique to kill these Monstrous Wolves, it was as simple as harvesting wheat.
During this time, Ning Cheng summed up a rule, if he passed through the territory of a Class 3 Monstrous Beast, and was far away from the Class 3 Monstrous Beast, then the Class 3 Monstrous Beast would simply ignore him. If he passed through the territory of a Monstrous Beast whose cultivation was similar to his, it would instead cause a conflict.
After figuring out this rule, Ning Cheng finally understood why when he was at the edge of the Clear Water Lake, the One Horned Flood Dragon had ignored him. It turned out that it regarded him as a dispensable ant, according to Ning Cheng's summary of his experience, all the low levelled Monstrous Beasts that lived in the territory of the high levelled Monstrous Beasts were just a lunch box for the high levelled Monstrous Beasts.
This lunch box was something that the high levelled Monstrous Beasts wanted to eat, and would be delivered to them at any time. In other words, the two months that he had been living at the edge of the Clear Water Lake, was in fact a lunch box for the One Horned Flood Dragon. Once the One Horned Flood Dragon was free, it could kill him at any time.
On the contrary, if he passed through the territory of a Monstrous Beast with a similar cultivation, then these Monstrous Beasts would think that he had come to snatch their territory, and would immediately try to protect their territory from being invaded.
It was precisely because he knew this point, that Ning Cheng did not hesitate to ruthlessly kill the Monstrous Beasts that came to the Clear Water Lake. According to the law of the jungle, he absolutely could not give the rest of the Monstrous Beasts an illusion, and let those Monstrous Beasts think that he was easy to bully.
In this one month of killing, Ning Cheng's fighting experience and the progress of his two Magical Techniques had increased by leaps and bounds. With his current experience, if he was still at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level and fought against that Xiang Fei Dou, then he would absolutely not be injured.
After Ning Cheng's crazy killing spree during this period of time, many of the Monstrous Beasts around the Clear Water Lake already knew that Ning Cheng was very aggressive, and would not show any mercy. Later, as long as Ning Cheng did not stay in their territory for a long time, these Monstrous Beasts were generally not willing to come out and fight with Ning Cheng, and would directly pretend to be ostriches and let Ning Cheng pass.
For Ning Cheng, if he left the Clear Water Lake, and did not find a way out, it would not be a good thing. At least in this area of the Clear Water Lake, he could be regarded as an overlord.
… …
"Huhu … …" A Brown Thorn Bear at this time was roaring at Ning Cheng, but it did not dare to rush towards Ning Cheng. It was roaring at Ning Cheng because Ning Cheng had once again come to its territory, and had even stayed for a long time without leaving.
This Thorn Bear was an Early Stage Class 2 Monstrous Beast, and had suffered two losses in the hands of Ning Cheng before, but fortunately, Ning Cheng had only passed by during those times. But this troublesome guy in its eyes unexpectedly came again, and this time he did not leave, and even dug around in its territory.
"Get lost, I'm just looking for a magnet, if you continue to be so long-winded, then don't blame me for starting." Ning Cheng waved the Flying Sword in his hand and roared at the Thorn Bear.
He really came here to look for a magnet, he still had more than 300 Low Grade Spirit Stones on him, Ning Cheng felt that these 300 Low Grade Spirit Stones would not be enough to support him to cultivate to the Qi Gathering 9th Level. What's more, he also wanted to go out and look for a True Condensation Pill.
For more than a month, he still could not find a way out, so he decided to look for a magnet to make a compass. Ning Cheng guessed that the place he was in should be a planet, similar to a big magnet. He wanted to make something that could point to a fixed position, and then as long as he followed one of the directions, one day he would be able to get out. As for whether the compass he made pointed to the south or not, it did not affect him at all.
But this Class 2 Thorn Bear did not know that Ning Cheng was looking for a magnet, and roared at Ning Cheng, it wanted Ning Cheng to quickly leave its territory.
Ning Cheng saw that this Thorn Bear was simply unable to understand his thoughts, he simply brought out his Flying Sword, and was ready to start.
At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps came, it seemed that someone was rushing towards him. Ning Cheng immediately gave up the idea of fighting this Thorn Bear, and stared at the person rushing towards him.
It was a young man covered with scars, the Qi in his body was dissipating, and he could not see his cultivation level. When he saw Ning Cheng, his eyes suddenly showed a hint of joy, but then he fell to the ground due to exhaustion.
"Senior … …" Although he fell to the ground, the young man did not faint, and still called out to Ning Cheng with a look of expectation, apparently hoping that Ning Cheng would help him.
The young man had just fallen to the ground, when a greyish black Wolf Demon chased after him. This Wolf Demon was already a Class 1 Peak Monstrous Beast, when it chased after him, it immediately saw Ning Cheng holding a Flying Sword in his hands. Almost at the same time when it saw Ning Cheng, this greyish black Wolf Demon quickly turned around, and in just two breaths of time, it escaped into the depths of the forest, disappearing from sight.
Ning Cheng did not care about the greyish black Wolf Demon that escaped, he just subconsciously touched his face, as he thought in his heart, am I very old? Being called as a senior by a person older than him? One must know that his actual age was not even 18 years old. His hand touched his beard, which made Ning Cheng guess that he might look like an uncle who had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
Ning Cheng took out a jade bottle and handed it to the young man who had fallen to the ground and said, "I do not have any life-saving pills, I only have a little water, you can drink it."
Although Ning Cheng said that he only had a little water, but this water was really not ordinary, it was filled from the Spiritual Essence Spring Pool, and at least it was rich in Spiritual Qi.
The young man looked at the distant Thorn Bear that was somewhat afraid of Ning Cheng, and his eyes flashed with a bit of hope, he did not take the water that Ning Cheng handed to him, but took out a package and handed it to Ning Cheng and said, "I can't do it, please help me give this package to Meng Yu Jing from the Hua Continent's Falling Star 5 Star Academy, let her help me pass it to my younger brother Kou Xiuyuan, and say that this is from Kou Hong … …"
