Chapter 21: Golden Cicada Fruit

  The two men and women who came over obviously also knew He Jie.

  "Alright, let's go right away." He Jie said loudly.

  In this short period of time, He Jie's side had already gathered five people. Ning Cheng and An Yi followed He Jie to her beast car, only to see that it was not much smaller than an ordinary business car on Earth.

  The animal pulling the cart was not a horse, but a wild beast that Ning Cheng had seen before. He had seen this kind of beast in Cang Le City, but at that time it was pure white, while this one was multicolored. Ning Cheng remembered Jian Su'er telling him that it seemed to be called a Unicorn Stone Roar Beast.

  This unicorn is pulling such a large cart with so many people, can it move? Li Shao's car also used two horses at the beginning.

  "Get on the bus, we're leaving right away." He Jie said after she had already sat down in the front seat.

  After Ning Cheng and An Yi got on the car, they found that there was already someone on it. It was an old man, also with a cultivation of Gathering Qi Third Layer. Although he was also at the Gathering Qi Third Layer, Ning Cheng felt that this old man's cultivation seemed to be much stronger than Feng Feiying's.

  The old man saw Ning Cheng and the others get on the carriage, but he only gave them a brief glance before closing his eyes again. In that short moment of opening and closing his eyes, Ning Cheng felt a surge of killing intent. Ning Cheng knew that this killing intent was not directed at him, nor was it directed at the people here, but rather because the old man had an intangible aura of killing intent on him. Clearly, he was a ruthless killer.

  An Yi sat down beside Ning Cheng, she also felt the old man's killing intent, and was even closer to Ning Cheng, not daring to look at the old man again.

  He Jie sat in the driver's seat, the whip in her hand brought up a whistling sound, and the single-horned Stone Roarer let out a loud cry, stomping its hooves as it charged forward. Such a large carriage was pulled by it without any hesitation.

  Not only that, the car's speed doesn't seem slow at all, the only drawback is that this car is a bit bumpy. Ning Cheng and others sitting in the bumpy car can still see the scenery outside through the transparent windows.

  The people sitting in the beast car are all from life and death killings, with extremely venomous eyes. Ning Cheng and An Yi can tell at a glance that they have not experienced killing, and for these two to head to the Mang Ocean, apart from Feng Fei Zhang having some helpful thoughts, the other three are secretly coldly laughing that Ning Cheng and An Yi are going to their deaths.

  "Shouldn't the couple be Miao Xiuying and Tian Fei? I've long admired your reputation, and it's an honor for me to sit in the same carriage as you today." Feng Feizhang was a warm person and took the initiative to greet the man and woman sitting opposite him with a fist.

  The man with a red scar on his face did not expect Feng Feizhang to recognize him, and he was not surprised either. Although his cultivation was low, he and his wife were ruthless in their actions, and when they joined forces, even the strongest Qi Refining stage cultivators would not dare to underestimate them. In the peripheral areas of the Manggo Sea, they also had some small reputation.

  "Not bad, I'm indeed Miao Xiuying, and this is my lover Tian..." The man with red scars on his face didn't finish speaking, but instead glared at Ning Cheng with a cold hum. It was clear that he was very displeased with Ning Cheng staring at his lover."

  Feng Feizhang also discovered Ning Cheng's rudeness, and hurriedly coughed to bring him back to his senses. Ning Cheng was somewhat embarrassed, and awkwardly clasped his fists together, but didn't explain anything. He knew that this kind of thing couldn't be explained.

  Just now when he heard the woman opposite him call Tian Fei, he thought of Tian Muwan and for a moment was somewhat distracted. He stared at Tian Fei, but in fact, his eyes didn't have any image of Tian Fei at all.

  Miao Xiuning didn't continue to be rude, and he wasn't in the mood to make a scene. However, in his heart, he had already decided that Ning Cheng was someone who needed to be taught a lesson. He deliberately glanced at An Yi standing next to Ning Cheng. Originally, An Yi was wearing a plain blue robe with a white cloth wrapped around her head, looking unremarkable, and Miao Xiuning hadn't paid much attention to her before. But when he took a closer look at An Yi, his heart suddenly burned with desire.

  An Yi was too delicate, almost otherworldly like a celestial being. She sat quietly there, just like a white lotus flower, so serene and clear. He had seen many beautiful women before, but never one as pure and quiet as An Yi, whose serenity made his heart skip a beat.

  This woman is really too innocent, she must be won over, Miao Xiou clenched his fist secretly.

  "I don't know if Brother Miao has heard of the Golden Cicada Fruit?" Feng Feizhang hastily changed the subject, asking a question on his own initiative.

  Upon hearing Feng Feizhang's words, Miao Xiuying snapped back to reality and immediately said, "Brother Feng is referring to the matter of someone bringing out the Golden Cicada Fruit from Lanship Island in the Mang Ocean?"

  Feng Feizhang laughed and said, "Brother Miao has indeed heard of this matter. If I can get a Golden Cicada Fruit, it's almost worth my life's hard work in the Mang Ocean."

  Miao Xiuzheng seemed to have forgotten the rude things in Ning City, and said casually, "Lan Sha Island indeed has people coming out, and not just one. I heard that later teams went in, and no one was able to come out again. Besides, Jin Chan Guo is not something we can touch. Even if we got a Jin Chan Guo, it would only make our lives shorter."

  Feng Feizhang didn't know that Miao Xiuying had already set his sights on An Yi, and his original intention was to shift Miao Xiuying's attention away from Ning Cheng. Now, after hearing Miao Xiuying's words, he immediately nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, even if we got the Golden Cicada Fruit and didn't die, there's no way to turn it into a Gathering Truth Pill."

  Ning Cheng had recently studied the properties of spiritual grass and various types of spiritual herbs, and he had indeed heard of the Golden Cicada Fruit. It was a third-grade spiritual root that could be used to refine the Gathering Truth Pill, which was necessary for cultivators who had reached the ninth layer of Qi gathering to advance to the Condensing Truth stage. Feng Fei Zhang's implication was that even if an ordinary cultivator obtained the Golden Cicada Fruit, they would still be unable to refine it into a Gathering Truth Pill. Who would have an alchemist help a Qi-gathering cultivator refine pills?

  In fact, Ning Cheng also knew that Feng Fei Zhang had another meaning, not to mention that even if he got the Golden Cicada Fruit, he wouldn't be able to refine it into a Condensed True Pill. Even if he could refine this kind of pill, how would it help? They were only at the third layer of Qi gathering, while the Condensed True Pill was for cultivators who had gathered their Qi nine times, and they were still far, far away from that.

  The old man, who had been closing his eyes with a murderous aura surrounding him, suddenly opened them and said, "Actually, Lanzhou Island is not that scary. As long as you grasp a certain formation method, you can safely enter and exit. However, the opportunity to obtain the Golden Cicada Fruit inside is extremely rare."

  "What?" The old man's words immediately attracted Feng Feizhang, Miao Xiuming and Tian Fei. The three of them looked at the old man in unison, not daring to believe him.

  An Yi lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking about. She didn't even hear the conversation between a few people clearly. Ning Cheng heard it clearly, but he wasn't interested at all. Let alone whether the old man's words were true or false, even if they were true, getting the Golden Cicada Fruit would be of no use to him. Moreover, he was certain that the old man's words were not entirely trustworthy.

  Moreover, he also believed that Feng Feizhang and Miao Xiuming did not believe the old man's words either. They were shocked simply because the old man's words were too far-fetched.

  "You may think that my words are deceiving, but I can clearly tell you that not a single word of mine is false. Lanzhou Island is easy to enter and exit, but obtaining the Golden Cicada Fruit requires extremely great luck." The old man continued to say.

  "Friends, since Lanzhou Island is so easy to enter and exit, why haven't many of the cultivators who entered been able to come out?" Miao Xiuming couldn't help but ask.

  "That's because they don't understand the formation, Lanzhou Island is shrouded in sea fog outside, it's actually a formation. Only on the 15th of each month can you enter the island, and only those who are proficient in this formation can do so. And I was able to enter Lanzhou Island several times and come out again because I am proficient in that formation." The old man said proudly, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

  "Friend, you said you've been to Lanzhou Island several times? The Manganese Sea's Lanzhou Island?" Feng Feizhang asked even more disbelievingly, feeling that the old man didn't seem to be lying.

  The old man listened to Feng Fei Zhang's words and instead of being disdainful, he said with some despair, "I have been in and out of Lanship Island several times, but I haven't gotten anything good. I've also seen the Golden Cicada Fruit, but I've never gotten it, alas!"

  "Have you seen the Golden Cicada Fruit?" This sentence was almost simultaneously asked by Feng Feizhang and Miao Xiuying, three people.
