Chapter 7 Ningcheng's Work

  "Of course it's the broadcast..." Ji Lu Fei said helplessly as she saw Ning Cheng standing there muttering to himself. The broadcasting array of Cang Qin Second Star Academy had been introduced not long ago, because the academy was going to apply to join the Three-Star Academy, and apart from strengthening its strength, the facilities of the academy also needed to be strengthened.

  The dueling arena outside the academy was established for this reason, and the broadcasting array method was also established by a high-priced array master from Huazhou. In addition, the academy also sells sound jade. The sound jade of Cangqin Academy can broadcast events in most areas of Pingzhou, and the transmission of its voice is also constructed by various sound transmission arrays.

  "Where did this turtle come from? Doesn't even know the basics of sound domain arrays." A long-haired boy walked past Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei, overhearing their conversation and sneering at them.

  Ning Cheng suddenly realized that the broadcast here was not transmitted through electric current, but through other means. At this time, he heard someone mocking him and was about to respond when Ji Luo Fei pulled his hand and said, "Don't mind others, let's go."

  "It's who I said it was, turns out it's Ugly Girl Ji." The boy who spoke had already recognized Ji Luofei and continued to mock her without restraint.

  Ji Luo Fei's face remained calm, without a hint of fluctuation, as if the person's sarcasm wasn't directed at her. Ning Cheng suppressed his inner anger and was pulled away by Ji Luo Fei. He knew that with his current cultivation level, if he were to clash with the other party, there was an 80% chance he would be instantly killed.

  "Gu Fei is really useless, can't even beat such an ugly freak." The person behind them coldly laughed and said. His purpose was already very clear, which was to infuriate Ji Luo Fei.

  Ning Cheng could feel Ji Luo Fei suppressing her inner anger, at this moment, Ning Cheng almost couldn't help but turn around and give the sarcastic guy a good beating.

  "He's called Chu Chenjun, with a cultivation base of three layers. His skills are even higher than yours." Ji Luofei explained in a soft voice on the side.

  Ning Cheng didn't say a word, he knew that his strength was not enough, and whatever he said would be useless. Ji Luofei's words were also a reminder to him. If his strength had been stronger, Chu Chenjun wouldn't have dared to speak so loudly in front of him. He kept thinking about who Gu Fei was, listening to Chu Chenjun's words, it seemed that Ji Luofei had fought with Gu Fei once before, and he didn't know if the injuries on Ji Luofei's body were caused by this matter.

  The Cangqin Second Star Academy is extremely large, and Ning Cheng knew that Ji Luofei had brought him to the Cangqin Second Star Academy for his own safety. So he thought Ji Luofei would definitely find a secluded place for him to hide, but unexpectedly, Ji Luofei led him in front of an ancient, sturdy tower-shaped building.

  The tower looks very majestic, and there are still many people in front of the tower, with some entering and exiting. It's called a tower, but it only resembles one in shape. In fact, more accurately speaking, this is a building similar to a tower, because the top of the tower is also flat.

  In the middle of this tower-shaped building, a few huge words are written: Cang Qin Cultivation Tower.

  "Follow me and don't talk nonsense." Ji Luofei reminded Ning Cheng a sentence before walking in first.

  The tower-shaped building looked enormous from the outside, but Ning Cheng only realized how much bigger it was on the inside when he followed Ji Luo into the lower levels of the building.

  Ji Luo Fei had been leading Ning Cheng all the way to the third level, and now they were heading towards a black stone gate in the corner of the third level.

  "Mu Lao lives right here. This is the cultivation room of the Academy, all under Mu Lao's management. When you see Mu Lao, be respectful..."

  Ji Luo Fei was still reminding Ning Cheng when the black stone gate had already opened. An old man with sparse hair, a face full of wrinkles, and even his eyes couldn't open stood at the door, "Since you've come, then come in."

  The voice was surprisingly loud and clear. If Ning Cheng had heard this voice first, he would have thought it was a young man in his twenties or thirties, not an old man.

  "Mu Lao, he is Ning Cheng." Ji Luo Fei walked ahead and bowed to the old man with respect.

  Ning Cheng followed behind and bowed his head saying, "Ning Cheng has seen Mu Lao."

  "Concentrate your energy a bit more and you can barely come to help, how's your spiritual root?" Mu Lao said with an unenthusiastic gaze at Ning Cheng.

  Ji Luo Fei hastily added, "Although Ning City doesn't have a main spiritual root, it has three subsidiary miscellaneous spiritual roots."

  "What color?" Mu Lao asked again.

  Ji Luo Fei replied somewhat nervously, "Turmeric..."

  Ning City didn't understand Linggen, only knowing that Linggen represented talent, his talent was very poor, and he probably wouldn't go to a good place.

  Just now, Mu Lao asked Ji Luo Fei about the spiritual root of Ning City. Now that Ji Luo Fei has answered, Mu Lao hummed and said, "I came here to clean up the practice room, which has nothing to do with the quality of the spiritual root. Alright, there's no business for you here, you can leave."

  "Yes, I'll take my leave." Ji Luo Fei heard Mu Lao's words and hastily bowed her head to bid farewell, then retreated without saying another word to Ning Cheng.

  Ning Cheng felt that something was off. Ji Luo Fei had previously said that Mu Lao was good to her, and he was able to come here to do odd jobs because Mu Lao was helping him out for Ji Luo Fei's sake. But judging from Ji Luo Fei's attitude towards Mu Lao, it seemed like she wasn't very important to him. If so, why would Mu Lao still want to help her?

  After Ji Luo Fei left, Mu Lao, who looked like he was half-dead and half-alive, coldly said to Ning Cheng, "The seventh floor of the Cultivation Tower happens to have no one cleaning it right now. You're in charge of the seventh floor."

  Ning City is shrouded in mist, what is the seventh layer responsible for? This old man only said that he was in charge of the seventh layer, and then there were no more words. Who knows what he wants to do? And where does he live?

  "This is for you, go to the seventh floor by yourself. Don't bother me whether there's something or not." Mu Lao said and threw a wooden sign and a thin paper at Ning Cheng.

  As soon as Ning Cheng caught the wooden sign and the thin paper, he felt a huge force pushing him out of the room. The next moment, Mu Lao's black stone door had already closed.

  "This old Mu doesn't seem to be a good person to talk to, and probably isn't a good person either." Ning Cheng thought to himself, but he also didn't dare to continue asking this old Mu.

  The note on the paper reads: Before dawn breaks every day, the unused training rooms on the seventh floor must be cleaned up. In case of any abnormal situation, report immediately. The wooden sign is the key to opening the training room doors; as long as there is no one staying in the training room, it can be opened with the wooden sign. If the rules are violated, severe punishment will be imposed.

  Ning Cheng looked at these simple sentences, feeling somewhat perplexed. Violated the rules? But there were no rules to be seen above. Besides, what kind of situation was referred to as an "exceptional situation"? Who was the report supposed to be given to? And how exactly was one supposed to tidy up neatly?

  He knew nothing about Ning City, only that the cultivation tower had seven floors, and he worked on the seventh floor. He didn't even know where his dining and sleeping places were.

  Ning Cheng really wanted to find Ji Luo Fei and ask her, but he had no idea where she was. The vastness of the Cang Qin Second Star Academy made it seem like even if he circled around once, it wouldn't be something that could be accomplished in a short amount of time.

  According to Ning Cheng's thoughts, after sending him here to Mu Lao's place, Ji Luo Fei should have been waiting for him outside. However, when he came out of Mu Lao's stone house, he didn't see Ji Luo Fei.

  Ning City did not go out to find Ji Luo Fei, he was very clear that the less he showed his face here, the better. The fact that Ji Luo Fei knew that he had offended Xian Yuan Kui meant that Xian Yuan Kui's status in Cang Qin Er Xing Academy was not low, or that Jian Su Jie, who had saved him, had a high status here, otherwise the news would not have reached Ji Luo Fei's ears.

  Ning Cheng himself climbed to the seventh floor of the Cultivation Tower. The seventh floor was much smaller than he had imagined, and although the Cultivation Tower wasn't a tower, it was built in a tower shape. This cultivation tower only had seven floors, with each one getting progressively smaller, which was also within his expectations.

  After reaching the seventh floor, Ning City counted and found that there were a total of eighteen cultivation rooms. Ning City didn't spend much time to understand it clearly, as long as the red light at the entrance of the cultivation room was on, it meant someone was cultivating inside. The ones with extinguished lights were all empty. Apparently, very few people cultivated on the seventh floor, only three cultivation rooms had their red lights on, and the rest didn't have any red lights.

  Ning City tried to insert a wooden sign into the recess of an empty cultivation room door, and the stone door automatically retracted. Immediately afterwards, Ning City saw the situation inside the cultivation room, which was also very large, and the cultivation room was divided into two rooms.

  The outer room was like a small exercise yard, and the inner room seemed to be a place for rest, with a wooden bed. The floor was in disarray, with signs of fire damage.

  Ning Cheng exited the cultivation room and went to check on the remaining few rooms. These cultivation rooms were all similar, either with a patch of water stains on the ground or various scorch marks, and some had withered dead plant vines scattered about.

  After roughly looking around, Ning Cheng already knew what he had to do, which was to sweep and clean the empty cultivation rooms every day. To put it bluntly, he was now a cleaner.

  After circling around, Ning Cheng found his own dwelling in a corner of the seventh layer, which was a small stone house with only a few square meters. Like Mu Lao, he also lived in a small stone house, but this one was less than a tenth of Mu Lao's.

  Inside the small stone hut, apart from a bed, there were also several cleaning tools. A huge broom, an iron shovel, and a dustpan occupied about one-tenth of the floor space in the small stone hut.

  Ning Cheng let out a sigh of relief, at least he had a place to stay now. Although this place was in the bustling Cultivation Tower, it was relatively secluded. The only thing that made him want to know urgently was where he would eat and wash up.

  Go ask Mu Lao, Ning City has one who doesn't dare to go, and another who doesn't want to face that gloomy face. He deliberately ran to the sixth floor, where a small stone house for sweeping and cultivating was located, and after knocking open the stone door, a tall and thin man appeared, even thinner than him.

  Seeing the tall man's impatient face, Ning City hastily asked politely, "I'm new here, now sweeping the seventh floor's cultivation room, may I ask where do we eat?"

  "Who told you that sweeping the training room would get you a meal?" The tall and thin man sneered, then slammed the stone door shut again with a loud bang.

  Votes and collections are shrinking, requesting votes, requesting new friends to collect one casually! Thank you!
