Chapter Eighty-six: The Origin of Xuan and Huang

  Ning Cheng did not respond, he had completely lost the mood to respond. He had just checked his injuries and only then did he realize that his meridians were severed and his dantian was completely cracked open.

  This terrible injury, don't even mention him, even in the highest level of the continent, it can't be treated. To put it simply, he's done for. Let alone cultivation, just trying to preserve his life is extremely difficult.

  In the confrontation with the giant black withered palm in the sand pit, he frantically burned his essence and blood, exhausting all his strength to detonate several low-grade magic artifacts, indeed blasting that black withered giant hand open. However, at the same time, he was also hit by this terrible explosion. If it weren't for the inner armor he wore on his body, perhaps his body would have been blown out of shape.

  The excitement of narrowly escaping death was gone in an instant, replaced by wave after wave of pain emanating from his chest, and he couldn't help but cough several times.

  Ji Luofei's thoughts were clear and she fell silent after Ning Cheng said a sentence, then Ning Cheng continued to cough, and she understood that Ning Cheng's injury might not be optimistic.

  "Where are you planning to go?" Ji Luofei asked cautiously again.

  Ning Cheng fell silent for a long time before speaking up, "Originally I wanted to go to Meteorite Academy, now I think...I think..."

  Ning Cheng wanted to hand over the thing to Ji Luo Fei and ask for her help in sending it. Originally, Kou Hong's things, Ning Cheng said that if he had the opportunity, he would send them. However, because of Kou Hong's map, he got too many chances to live, and if he didn't help Kou Hong fulfill this last wish, he felt it was not right.

  He was deeply grateful to Kou Hong, and the route map given by Kou Hong looked very simple. In fact, this route map was piled up with countless white bones. Such a great kindness, he should go and repay it.

  But he thought of Ji Luo Fei being forced into a marriage at Meteorite Academy and didn't want her to go back to that place again.

  "Don't worry, Huazhou has many healing pills, and we still have some spiritual stones. Your injury can be easily cured." Ji Luofei comforted Ning Cheng.

  Ning Cheng was about to speak when he felt the Xuan Huang Pearl in his Zifu suddenly start rotating, and a series of unidentifiable auras began to emanate from it. These auras slowly began to re-mold his meridians and dantian.

  As this breath merged into his meridians, Ning Cheng slowly became aware that the Xuanhuang Pearl was also gradually merging with him. The pale yellow breath had already been influenced by his thoughts.

  What is the origin of Xuan Huang?

  That's right, this is absolutely the origin of Xuan Huang that he has been unable to get before. Ning Cheng was so surprised that he almost shouted out loud.

  He thought that the origin of Xuan Huang could only be felt when his cultivation was very high, but unexpectedly, he had already felt it at the stage of condensing his true self. If he had known earlier that breaking all the meridians and cracking open the dantian would allow him to mobilize the origin of Xuan Huang and merge with it, he might have done so long ago.

  In the Xuan Huang Pearl, cultivation speed is several times faster than outside. Previously, he didn't dare to enter the Xuan Huang Pearl for cultivation again because he was afraid that the aura of the Xuan Huang Pearl would be exposed. Even this time when he came to Huazhou, he was a bit worried, fearing that some extremely powerful masters could see through his body and discover the Xuan Huang Pearl inside.

  Now the Xuan Huang Ben Yuan is activated, transforming and repairing his meridians. Once his meridians are fully transformed, the Xuan Huang Pearl will definitely merge with him as one, and will no longer be perceived by others.

  Ning Cheng's joy only lasted for half a stick of incense before he began to worry again. According to the Xuan Huang Ben Yuan, it would take at least three months for his meridians and dantian to be fully transformed and repaired at the current rate.

  Three months or more he had no energy, if in a closed room, it would be okay, but in this vast desert, what should he do?

  Ji Luofei's strength cannot guarantee their safety now. Should he find a place to retreat and cultivate in the desert or continue on his journey?

  Ning Cheng soon abandoned the idea of choosing a cave in the desert and instead continued on his journey.

  In a place like the Thunder Desert, where one has been closed off for several months, anything can happen. There is no safe place here. Whether you stay or move, it's equally dangerous. It's better to speed up and hurry on the road, perhaps in two months they will have left the desert.

  Jing Cheng didn't respond, but Ji Luo Fei seemed to sense his emotions and silently decided that no matter what, she would help him heal his wounds.

  "Wait a minute." Just as Ji Luofei was about to get up and continue on her way, Ning Cheng told her the direction he knew, letting Ji Luofei follow his route to continue on her journey.

  ……

  Ji Luofei hurried along with Ning Cheng on her back, not stopping for a moment. Ning Cheng, on Ji Luofei's back, was allowing the mysterious and profound Origin of the Universe to continuously reform his meridians and repair his Dan Tian. Unfortunately, he had no way of interfering with this process; otherwise, he would have definitely thought of every possible method to make this restoration process faster.

  Along the way, Ji Lu Fei and her companion only had to avoid some simple desert whirlwinds and a few low-level desert beasts, but they didn't encounter any other dangers.

  Two months passed, when Ning Cheng and Ji Luo heard a faint singing voice, and saw the yellow fog in front of them dispersing, both of them knew that they had left the Luoshen Desert behind.

  "Hua Zhou has arrived." Ji Luo Fei gazed at the distant, hazy mountain range. Her previous hesitation had vanished. Now that Ning Cheng was severely injured, she had to take care of him together with Ning City, so there was no need to mention separating.

  Ning Cheng coughed a few times, and Ji Luofei hastily patted Ning Cheng's back. "Let's find a place to stay first, then I'll go help you find some medicine to treat your injuries."

  Ning Cheng hastily said, "Lu Fei, don't bother helping me find healing medicine, I know my own injuries, actually I've already started recovering, at most it'll take another half month, my injuries will definitely heal."

  Ji Luo Fei did not believe Ning Cheng's words, for two months now, Ning Cheng had been coughing and Zhen Yuan had never recovered, how could she possibly believe that Ning Cheng himself could heal his own injuries?

  At this time, the singing voice from afar had approached, and a beast-drawn carriage came over. The one singing was none other than the charioteer himself. The charioteer drove the carriage to Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei's side, and voluntarily stopped, "Would you two like to ride on my beast-drawn carriage to Sha Bi Town? My carriage is heading back to Sha Bi Town anyway, if you're going that way, I can give you a ride."

  Ji Luofei was about to refuse, but Ning Cheng pulled her back as she walked away. "Let's take a carriage to Sha Bei Town first, you can rest too."

  Ji Luofei never refuted Ning Cheng's words and immediately said to the car owner, "In that case, we'll take your carriage to Sha Bei Town."

  The driver hastily got out of the car and opened the rear door, saying, "Please get in, both of you."

  Ning Cheng saw that there was already a young woman inside the carriage, which was somewhat strange. The coachman seemed to know Ning Cheng's strangeness and quickly said, "My carriage is going to the Luolei Desert Edge Post Station, so there are very few people on the way back."

  Ning Cheng suddenly understood, it turned out that this was a return trip. Just like Li Shao's car at the beginning, there was an empty trip.

  The coachman saw Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei sit well, then hurriedly closed the door and drove the beast car to leave quickly. Generally for people on the edge of this desert, he never talked about prices. When these people got off the car, the price they gave would not be low. If he talked about prices, it would not only give a bad impression but also might get less. He had been driving in this area for a long time and knew this rule early on.

  When it's good, when you come back, as long as you pull one person, the gold coins you get will be more than pulling a whole car of people on the way here.

  Inside the carriage, a young woman wearing a black tight-fitting suit sat with a thin veil on her face. Ning Cheng took a glance and sensed that she had cultivated to the 9th layer of Qi Refining. Even though she was sitting down, it could be seen that this woman's figure was very good, her clothes outlining her curves extremely clearly, plus her skin was also very good, this was absolutely a beauty.

  She only saw Ning Cheng still needing Ji Luo Fei to help him onto the carriage, and even coughed a few times, with great disdain in his eyes. When her gaze fell on the long gun that Ji Luo Fei was holding for Ning Cheng, the disdain grew even stronger. Although the long gun was wrapped in cloth, the exposed broken handle was still visible to her.

  Ji Luofei was never a talkative person, and even if she had to speak, it would be with Ning Cheng. This car compartment had an extra black-clothed woman, who just took a glance and didn't pay attention anymore. Ning Cheng naturally wouldn't pay attention to a fellow female passenger either.

  Although three people were in the carriage, it was extremely quiet, with only the occasional singing of the coachman and the sound of the unicorn's hooves coming from outside.
