Chapter Thirty-Nine Where to Go

  Ning Cheng simultaneously saw the approaching sea ship and was startled in his heart. He urgently needed to find someone to ask about the route, but he was also afraid of being seen. Having offended two major forces in Mang City, these sea ships were definitely related to Mang City. Once they recognized him and An Yi, the outcome would not be good.

  In just a moment, the sea boat had already drawn up alongside Ning Cheng's boat.

  "Haha, I didn't expect to meet Brother Ning and Sister Ling in the vast Mango Ocean, this is truly a fortunate encounter." A bright and clear laugh came over.

  Ning Cheng had already recognized who this person was, it was precisely Leibo Hong who helped him out of the siege in Manggo City. Leibo Hong appearing here at this time didn't need to be thought about, he must have come back from Lansa Island, only his gains were unknown.

  "It's indeed a fate to meet Brother Le in the Mang Ocean." Ning Cheng also walked up with a smile and said, his heart was somewhat helpless, later Le Bo Hong would definitely ask him what he was doing here, how should he answer? If he said he just came back from Lan Sha Island, that would be an idiotic statement.

  "Indeed, Leibo Hong immediately asked, 'Brother Ning has a lot of guts, actually daring to kill Miao Wenhong of Manggo City. I admire him greatly. Not only that, but Brother Ning also dares to stay on the edge of the Manggo Sea, truly having spirit."

  Ning Cheng saw Leibo Hong's gaze sweep over the pile of marine materials on his ship, and instantly understood why Ye Dao people had to pile up so many marine materials here. He couldn't help but admire Ye Dao people even more, as for experience, he was far inferior to Ye Dao people. Ye Dao people were clearly using these marine materials as an excuse to go out to sea.

  "In a calm and composed tone, Ning Cheng said, 'Miao Wenhong has deceived people too much. If I didn't have this high-grade Thunderbolt Symbol, my cousin and I would already be dead at his hands. Killing him is merely self-defense.'"

  Justifiable homicide? Lebo Hong didn't understand the meaning of Ning Cheng's words for a while, and immediately agreed, saying, "Brother Ning killed well. If this kind of second-generation ancestor ran into my hands, I would also kill him without hesitation."

  Ning Cheng was speechless in his heart, you came from Ming Xin Academy, killing Miao Wen Hong would certainly not be a problem.

  Leibo Hong seemed to have not thought about his own background, and after saying a sentence, he stared at the pile of sea beast materials on the bow of Ning City's ship and said, "Brother Ning, you are already at the fourth layer of gathering energy. These sea beast materials can only be exchanged for some gold coins. Although you have obtained many, they do not help much with your cultivation."

  Ning Cheng sighed and said, "How could I not know these things? It's just that my cousin and I are just two scattered cultivators, without any backing or support. Our cultivation is also poor, and apart from being able to collect some sea beast materials near the Manggo Sea area, we really have nowhere else to go."

  Leibo Hong listened to Ning Cheng's words and continued, "Brother Ning, if you believe me, why not come with me to take a look at the Mingxin Academy? Even if you can't enter the academy, doing some odd jobs on the side is much better than trying to make a living in the Manggo Sea area. Moreover, since you've offended the Wolf King's Manor of Manggo City, it's quite difficult for you and your cousin to survive around here."

  Ning Cheng saw Leibo Hong's eyes occasionally sweeping over Anyi, how could he not know his thoughts. However, what he said was right, the Manggo Sea area was indeed not a place where he could continue to stay.

  "Le Brother is right, previously Le Brother and I said that after one year of Ming Xin Academy, we will recruit students from the entire Pingzhou. I collected these sea beasts, just to find some travel expenses to go to Ming Xin Academy." Ning Cheng said in response to Le Bo Hong's words.

  Leibo Hong looked at Ning Cheng and said seriously, "Brother Ning, please forgive me for speaking directly. If Brother Ning plans to rely on gold coins as travel expenses to go to Mingxin Academy, even if he sets off immediately, it will be very difficult to arrive at Mingxin Academy within a year. Half a month later, there is a flying ship that will pass by Manggo City, and we are going to take this flying ship back to Mingxin Academy. If Brother Ning doesn't mind, you can come with us."

  Ning Cheng's heart skipped a beat, but he immediately shook his head and said, "I have a grudge against the two major forces of Mang City, and even if there is a flying ship passing by, I don't have enough gold coins to pay for it."

  Leibo Hong laughed, "Ning brother, you should not have taken this kind of flying boat before. This flying boat belongs to the large-scale law enforcement agency and does not accept gold coins. At the very least, it requires gathering spirit stones, but for long-distance travel, even gathering spirit stones are not accepted, only low-grade spiritual stones are collected."

  "Low-grade spirit stone?" Ning Cheng repeated, his face showing some shock.

  The woman standing behind Leibo Hong suddenly said, "Rather than staying in this sea, why not come aboard our ship and talk?"

  Ning City didn't know what the woman's name was, but he had seen her once in Manggo City. With seven layers of aura gathered, based on the emblem on her chest, she should also be from Ming Xin Academy.

  Leibo Hong listened to the woman's words and said apologetically to Ning Cheng, "Ning brother, let me introduce you, this is Master Sister Lü Xue."

  "After saying that, he pointed to the other two and said, 'These two are Yin Wenguang and Xu Xiang. This time, we four came out together for training, and after many days of sailing in the Mang River sea area, we just returned. What Lu Xue Shimei said also makes some sense, Ning brother might as well abandon his ship and travel with us.'"

  Can't help but say that Lebo Hong speaks with great demeanor, letting Ning Cheng abandon the ship without any tone of "your ship is worthless, might as well abandon it".

  This time, Ning City didn't hesitate and directly exchanged a glance with An Yi. He then pulled out a bundle of cloth from the cabin and took An Yi to Leibo Hong's ship. Ning City's ship lost control and instantly separated from Leibo Hong's ship, disappearing into the boundless ocean.

  Seeing Ning Cheng and his companions abandoning their ship, Leibo Hong said enthusiastically, "The fare from Mang City to Mingxin Academy is two spirit stones per person. For you and your brother, Ning, I..."

  Ning Cheng knew what Le Bo Hong wanted to say, so he hastily waved his hand and said, "I have a knife here, Brother Le, help me take a look at how much it's worth. Is it enough for the road fee?"

  As they spoke, Ning Cheng had already taken out the knife he had seized from Pi San from his cloth bundle. Earlier, Feng Fei Zhang had helped him with a fare, and he still owed Feng Fei Zhang a favor, which was of no use to him now. At this moment, Ning Cheng did not want to owe anyone another favor without reason.

  "Huh, Brother Ning still has a low-grade artifact?" Leibo Hong exclaimed as soon as he saw the knife that Ning Cheng took out. But he immediately guessed that this artifact should be Miao Wenyong's.

  "This knife is worth four spirit stones, give it to me." Lu Xue suddenly said, who had previously invited Ning Cheng and An Yi onto the boat.

  Ning Cheng listened to Lu Xue's words and knew that this knife was probably not worth four spirit stones, Lu Xue must have been helping him by saying so.

  Even though he knew that Lu Xue was helping him, Ning Cheng still handed the knife to Lu Xue and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Lu. I don't need the spirit stone anymore. Just help me pay for my boat fare when the time comes."

  Seeing Ning Cheng didn't take advantage of Leibo Hong's weakness, the few people here had a greatly changed view of Ning Cheng.

  Ning Cheng introduced Yan Yi as well, and soon several people became familiar with each other, chatting intimately.

  Ning Cheng also learned from Le Bo Hong's mouth that they indeed returned from Lanship Island, and this time the monks who went to Lanship Island were in the hundreds, including even Gathering Qi first and second layer monks. However, after these monks entered Lanship Island, they directly disappeared without a trace.

  Leibo Hong and several others had a high-level defensive array disc on their bodies, which barely saved them from disaster. However, they did not dare to continue searching for the island and immediately returned.

  "I'm sure that the story about Lanzhou Island having golden cicadas is made up by someone with ulterior motives." said Yin Wenguang, whose skin was slightly darkened.

  Ning Cheng asked doubtfully, "Brother Yin, why are you so certain? Didn't someone already obtain the Golden Cicada Fruit from Lanship Island?"

  Ning Cheng knew that Lanzhou Island must have Golden Cicada Fruits; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to obtain them from the cultivators.

  Leibo Hong smiled slightly: "Ning brother doesn't know, Wenguang is from the Pharmaceutical Department of Mingxin Academy. He specializes in researching various medicinal liquids and has also come into contact with Dan medicine, so Wenguang's words have some basis."

  Ning City already knew what a potion was. In his mind, he thought that the Bright Heart Academy was similar to universities on Earth, and it seemed that there were various departments as well.

  Wen Wenguang didn't show any modesty and said directly, "Jin Chan Guo is a spirit fruit with an extremely strong fragrance before and after it's ripe. Lian Sha Island only has this range, if there's Jin Chan Guo, I can definitely smell the scent. After we entered the island, there wasn't even half a point of Jin Chan Guo's fragrance, so I knew that Lian Sha Island was a scam."

  "Brother Le, does the Ming Xin Academy have a department of alchemy and array methods in addition to its department of medicinal liquids?" Ning Cheng was not willing to drag out the topic of Lanzhou Island, he was more interested in the Ming Xin Academy.

  Leibo Hong shook his head and said, "It's not like that. I heard that in the six-star academy on Zhongji Continent, there is already such a division. Mingxin Academy doesn't have this strength yet. Except for the medicine department, all the others are mixed together. They are only divided according to their cultivation level. Of course, some disciples with excellent qualifications can worship alone. Disciples who can worship alone also get more cultivation resources."

  Ning Cheng suddenly asked, "With your cultivation being so high, are you disciples who can take on a master individually?"

  Leibo Hong chuckled, "Ning brother, we're just gathering energy to cultivate, it's nothing special. At my age, I'm only considered average or slightly above in terms of gathering energy, barely making it into the core class."

  Ning City had always thought that Sanxing College was just so-so, and the truly good college should be Xingluo Fei's Meteor Five-Star College. Now hearing Lebo Hong's words, Ning City was really surprised. Listening to Lebo Hong's words, it seemed that students in the later stages of Qi gathering at Mingxin Sanxing College were actually quite ordinary, and there were many more students with solid cultivation.

  Seeing Ning Cheng's surprise, Lebo Hong suddenly asked, "Brother Ning looks young, yet he has already reached the fourth layer of Qi gathering. His innate talent must be quite good, right?"

  Ning Cheng smiled wryly and said, "It's just a third-rate miscellaneous spiritual root, the reason I was able to reach the fourth layer of gathering aura is because I coincidentally obtained five not bad gathering aura pills."

  If Leibo Hong asked about the origin of Ju Qi Dan, Ning Cheng would push out Ji Luofei's aunt as a shield.

  Ning Cheng's words left Leibo Hong and the others speechless. In their opinion, Ning Cheng could advance to the fourth layer of Qi gathering in such a resource-scarce environment, so his spiritual roots must be good. However, they did not expect that it was just a third-rate miscellaneous spiritual root, which was not worth their association.
