Ning Cheng nodded and spoke up directly, "I indeed want to exchange a Wind Thunder Apricot Tree branch with Senior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix. Of course, if Senior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix is not willing, then just forget about what I said. In addition, I have two other things. That is, how did Senior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix escape from the Ancient Shadow Temple. The third thing is that I want to exchange that talisman with Senior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix. "
Addressing Yi Jiufeng as' Senior Apprentice Sister 'was to improve the relationship between Ning Cheng and Yi Jiufeng. He could see that Yi Jiufeng and Chuan Xinlou were not the kind of people who would wear the same pair of pants.
Yi Jiufeng sighed and spoke, "My Wind Thunder Apricot Tree is no longer with me, but I left behind a branch."
Ning Cheng looked at Yi Jiufeng in doubt. He couldn't understand the meaning behind Yi Jiufeng's words.
Seeing Ning Cheng puzzled, Yi Jiufeng simply spoke up, "I already gave my Wind Thunder Apricot Tree and that talisman to Chuan Xinlou. Not only me, but Zhangkang Tianji and Qiao Jierui also gave their things to Chuan Xinlou. "
Ning Cheng asked in a deep voice, "Did Chuan Xinlou say that he could take you out of the Ancient Shadow Temple?"
Yi Jiufeng nodded, "In fact, he did. If I'm not wrong, Zhangkang Tianji and Qiao Jierui have already returned to the Demon Domain and Devil Domain. "
"So, Chuan Xinlou didn't reach Dao Confirming Realm in Levelled Heart Emperor Mountain, but in the Ancient Shadow Temple?" Ning Cheng asked again. If Chuan Xinlou didn't reach Dao Confirming Realm, how could he take everyone away?
Yi Jiufeng shook her head, "It shouldn't be. If I didn't guess wrong, Chuan Xinlou did leave the Ancient Shadow Temple and returned to the Levelled Heart Emperor Mountain before reaching Dao Confirming Realm. According to the situation, we wouldn't have been able to escape at all. We didn't know what was going on, but we heard an angry shout from outside. Then, the force that was restraining us suddenly weakened. At this time, Chuan Xinlou took out a talisman. He said that this talisman could break open this place and let everyone leave. Of course, there are conditions for it. "
Ning Cheng understood a bit. He even suspected that Chuan Xinlou and the others might have been able to leave because of him. He had attracted the attention of the powerful existence behind the First Bridge of Coping, giving Chuan Xinlou and the others an opportunity.
"In that case, the path of life and the path of death both lead to the same place? Did Striking Order and the others come out? "Ning Cheng continued to ask.
"That's right. The dangers in between the road of life and the road of death are different, but the place where you'll be trapped in the end is the same. In other words, if not for Chuan Xinlou's talisman, whether it was the road to life or the road to death, he would have fallen. I didn't see Striking Order, but Mu Hao and Xun Zhihe should have escaped. "
Ning Ruoqing, who was sitting next to Ning Cheng, spoke up with disdain. "How can someone like him be considered as Dao Confirming?"
"Ruoqing, what do you mean by Dao Modeling? Why not Dao Validation? Is there a higher realm after Dao Sculpting? "Ning Cheng had already learnt from Cang Wei that there was a higher realm after the Eternal Realm. However, he had never come into contact with it, so he really did not know what realm it was.
When Yi Jiufeng heard Ning Cheng's words, she also listened attentively. She knew about Dao Validation and Eternity, but she didn't have a deep understanding of it.
Ning Ruoqing frowned when she heard Ning Cheng's question. She looked like she wanted to grab her hair again.
Ning Cheng quickly spoke up. "Ruoqing, if you can't remember it, then don't think about it. It's not important to me."
Ning Ruoqing nodded and didn't continue to think about it. Instead, she said, "When I saw that person named Chuan Xinlou take action, a cultivation level naturally appeared in my mind. But he didn't seem to have reached that level. As for the specific situation, I can't remember what happened next. "
Ning Cheng felt afraid that Ning Ruoqing would continue to grab her hair, so he stopped asking.
Yi Jiufeng took out a branch and handed it to Ning Cheng. "I already planned to trade with Sect Master Ning, but I never had a chance. So this time, even though Chuan Xinlou took away my Wind-thunder Apricot Tree, I still have a branch here. "
Ning Cheng quickly took the branch. As soon as the branch fell into his hands, he immediately caught the wind-thunder aura. Ning Cheng felt sure that Yi Jiufeng was right. This was indeed the branch of the Wind-thunder Apricot Tree.
Carefully putting away the branch, Ning Cheng took out a drop of Glimmer of Dawn Ice Essence and handed it to Yi Jiufeng before saying, "I know that Senior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix needs the Glimmer of Dawn Ice Essence. If you want something else, Senior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix, please tell me. I'll take it out as long as I can."
Yi Jiufeng took the jade bottle Ning Cheng handed over and showed a slight smile. "I just want a drop of Glimmer of Dawn Ice Essence, then …."
Seeing Ning Cheng's worried look, Yi Jiufeng giggled. This was the first time she had returned to her original appearance since she left the Ancient Shadow Temple. "Then I also want to ask Sect Master Ning to help me once."
Ning Cheng breathed in a sigh of relief and spoke up with certainty. "If I can help Senior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix, then it naturally wouldn't be a problem. But what does Senior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix want from me?"
"I don't know yet. But if I need Senior Apprentice Brother Ning's help in the future, I hope that Senior Apprentice Brother Ning won't refuse." Yi Jiufeng, on hearing Ning Cheng's promise, spoke up with a relaxed tone. Yi Jiufeng also changed the way she addressed Ning Cheng in order to improve their relationship.
Since he had already promised Yi Jiufeng, Ning Cheng wouldn't go back on his word. "As long as Senior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix can send me the news in time, I will definitely help you once."
Yi Jiufeng nodded, took out a jade card and a ring, and handed them to Ning Cheng. "Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, this jade card contains my Spiritual Sense Jade Card. It doesn't have any tracking ability. When I send a message, the jade card will shatter and appear in my position. "
"No problem, but this ring …." Ning Cheng took the jade card with some doubts and didn't take the ring in Yi Jiufeng's hand.
Yi Jiufeng also stuffed the ring into Ning Cheng's hand. "I know that Senior Apprentice Brother Ning has only established the sect for a short time and might lack some cultivation resources. Consider these cultivation resources as my support to Senior Apprentice Brother Ning."
"Starry Sky Spiritual Veins?" Ning Cheng took Yi Jiufeng's ring. But when he saw the things inside the ring, he immediately felt moved.
The ring Yi Jiufeng gave him contained two Starry Sky Spiritual Veins. Moreover, they were both high-grade Starry Sky Spiritual Veins. Although the purity of the Celestial Essence Spiritual Qi in Starry Sky Spiritual Veins wasn't as good as Permanent Essence Pills, it won in terms of quantity. Two complete high-grade Starry Sky Spiritual Veins was definitely a big deal. From this, Ning Cheng understood that the matter Yi Jiufeng wanted his help with wasn't simple.
Yi Jiufeng stood up, "Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, the matter I need your help with isn't that complicated. As long as someone tries to deal with me, you can come and help me."
Even if Yi Jiufeng didn't say it, Ning Cheng already knew what Yi Jiufeng meant. Who else could deal with Yi Jiufeng, or even dare to deal with Yi Jiufeng, besides Chuan Xinlou?
Not to mention that he and Chuan Xinlou already had a grudge against each other, even if there wasn't such a thing, he would still help Yi Jiufeng with the two Starry Sky Spiritual Veins.
"Senior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix, rest assured. Since I accepted Senior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix's things, I will definitely help." Ning Cheng said without hesitation. He felt sure that Chuan Xinlou wouldn't dare to make any moves in the near future. This fellow would definitely go into seclusion to consolidate his cultivation after going back.
"Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning. I'm going back to the Grand Spirit Heaven Starry Sky." Yi Jiufeng said happily.
Ning Cheng quickly asked, "I have one more thing to ask Senior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix. What's going on with the Life and Death Gate under the Ancient Shadow Temple?"
Hearing Ning Cheng's words, Yi Jiufeng's expression turned slightly ugly. From this, one could tell that the Life and Death Gate had left some serious aftereffects on her. She pondered over it for a moment before replying, "I didn't discuss the Life and Death Gate with anyone. I just entered the Life and Death Gate. That place gave me the feeling of hell, or rather, the underworld. I've heard of the underworld, but I'm afraid that the underworld is far from comparable to that kind of cold and terrifying place. "
A place that made Yi Jiufeng, an Eternal-level Heavenly Emperor, feel uneasy. How could it be an ordinary underworld? At most, the underworld contained ghosts and some soul bodies. Yi Jiufeng was already in the Eternal Realm. Therefore, even if there were billions of Yin Spirits, it wouldn't scare her.
Ning Cheng vaguely guessed that the place under the Ancient Shadow Temple wasn't the underworld. He guessed that it might be the entrance to the underworld, but it was controlled by a powerhouse.
Seeing that Yi Jiufeng didn't know too much, Ning Cheng thanked her and said, "Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix. Senior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix must be worried about the Grand Spirit Heaven Starry Sky. I won't keep Senior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix here."
Yi Jiufeng had long wanted to return to the Grand Spirit Heaven Starry Sky. Therefore, when she heard Ning Cheng's words, she quickly left.
"What kind of place is the Ancient Shadow Temple? Is it dangerous? Is it more dangerous than the big crater in the centre of the Lost Mountain Range? "Ning Ruoqing asked after Yi Jiufeng left.
Ning Cheng gave a nod and said, "Yes, it's indeed dangerous. I plan to wait until my cultivation improves before going in."
Ning Ruoqing spoke up without hesitation, "Then I'll go in with you."
"If you don't go in now, you can stay in my cave and cultivate. When your cultivation slowly recovers, maybe you can remember some things. "
After saying that, Ning Cheng took out one of the two Spiritual Veins given to him by Yi Jiufeng and handed the ring with only one Starry Sky Spiritual Vein to Ning Ruoqing. "This Starry Sky Spiritual Vein is for you to cultivate. I'll plant the other one under the Mysterious Yellow Sect."
With two Starry Sky Spiritual Veins, an ordinary cultivator could advance from middle-stage Life and Death Realm to full-circle Life and Death Realm. But Ning Cheng felt that if he wanted to advance to full-circle Life and Death Realm, these two Spiritual Veins might not be enough. Since he couldn't advance, he might as well use them for something more practical.
Ning Ruoqing didn't refuse. She put away the ring given to her by Ning Cheng and stayed in Ning Cheng's cave to cultivate.
Ning Cheng then planted the other Starry Sky Spiritual Vein under Covered Snow City. Everyone in Covered Snow City could clearly feel the concentration of Starry Sky Spiritual Qi rising rapidly. Covered Snow City's Starry Sky Spiritual Qi was already much denser compared to other places. Now that it rose again, everyone felt pleasantly surprised.
… …
Ning Cheng had just placed the Starry Sky Essence Qi Spiritual Vein under Covered Snow City and hadn't had time to upgrade the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds when he sensed Duan Gantai's presence again. This fellow was rushing towards Stately River Star.
This fellow really came. Ning Cheng wondered what this fellow did with the None-to-depend-on Wine last time. Thinking of this, Ning Cheng gave up the idea of upgrading the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds and immediately left Covered Snow City.
Ning Cheng knew very well that Duan Gantai's escape methods were top-notch. Even if he called Ning Ruoqing, he might not have a 100% chance of stopping this fellow. Once Duan Gantai escaped, he wouldn't be able to enter the Temple of Time.
Feeling Duan Gantai's trajectory as he quickly approached Stately River Star, Ning Cheng secretly admired this fellow. This fellow was as smart as a loach and didn't even use a teleportation array this time.
