Chapter Sixty: Gold Coins and Spirit Stones

  Ning Cheng put away his flying sword and stood in place, punching out with one fist.

  He sensed a hint of killing intent left in the giant axe's residual aura, which made him eager to try out this axe's might. However, the flying sword was not suitable for his hand, so he simply used his fist as the giant axe instead.

  "Hong......" Ning Cheng's fist axe brought up a killing aura, directly blasting open the faint and hidden residual killing intent in front of him, emitting a muffled sound.

  The murderous aura surrounding him was like mud splashing in all directions after being blasted open. Although the murderous aura would still surge back, it had already lost its previous sharpness.

  "Haha......" Ning Cheng burst out laughing and took a step forward, raising his hand to grab the broken gun handle. "It's just like that."

  He grasped the lingering killing intent of that massive axe, and then used his own fist to blast away the remaining killing intent in the surroundings, feeling extremely exhilarated. He naturally knew that at this moment, the remaining killing intent here was not even a tenthousandth of the killing intent contained in that one axe strike from the axe wielder, but at least for now, he had blasted away this lingering killing intent with his fist.

  Moreover, he used his own fist axe. It was also because he used his own fist axe to blast away the remaining giant axe's killing intent that he would say it's nothing much.

  In Ning Cheng's view, a truly powerful expert, even if they had been gone for countless years, the killing intent left behind would not easily dissipate. However, the two people who fought here, it was clear that they hadn't been gone for long, and the killing intent at the scene of the fight had already dissipated by 99%. After a while, there wouldn't be even half a trace of killing intent left here.

  Even if Ning City knew that he was inferior to others by a hundred million miles, after understanding the two killing intentions, he still had some disdain.

  Amidst the loud laughter, Ning Cheng had already mobilized his true energy and reached out to pull out that broken gun.

  A powerful aura immediately filled Ning City's senses, as if the long spear in his hand could blast open the surrounding heaven and earth with a single thrust. At this moment, the entire heaven and earth seemed to be under his control. Ning City knew it was an optical illusion, but he still felt great joy in his heart. As soon as he held the spear in his hand, the heavy feeling of it made him realize that compared to flying swords, this spear was more suitable for him.

  The gun was nearly eight feet long, and Ning City regretted that the gun handle had broken off a section, and even the muzzle had also broken off a section. Even so, Ning City still felt that this long gun was not simple.

  Ning Cheng didn't move at all and stayed in place, starting to refine his long spear.

  One restriction after another was refined by Ning City, and the strong aura surrounding the outside of the long gun gradually weakened. It's also unknown how much time had passed, but Ning City stood up again, raised his long gun, and then thrust out with one spear.

  The air around was brought to a humming sound by this shot, like the kind of sound that occurs when a very fine willow branch is quickly brushed through the air. After the long gun was fired, the air in front of it was completely split apart at this moment.

  The next moment, Ning City's gun head shook and brought out twelve gun shadows. These gun shadows were like a sparse gun net, completely enclosing the space in front of them. The surroundings suddenly became icy cold, as if the chill was a kind of thick paste that made people's movements slow down a lot.

  Xuan Bing Thirty-six Spears, this is the real Xuan Bing Thirty-six Spears. Ning Cheng's heart was filled with excitement and surprise, as he wielded his long spear to unleash the Xuan Bing Thirty-six Spears, whose momentum and power were far beyond what that flying sword could compare to. At this moment, in Ning Cheng's heart, there were only two words to describe these Xuan Bing Thirty-six Spears: powerful.

  Sheathing his long spear, Ning Cheng's aura became even more majestic. If he were to face that four-layered Gathering Spirit Miao Li Hu again, he was confident that he could take him down without using the Seven Treasures Glacial Needle.

  Unfortunately, the long gun was damaged and its quality was unstable. When Ning Cheng held it in his hand, he felt that it was only an inferior magic weapon. When he stabbed out with the spear, he felt that the quality of the long gun had risen to a medium-grade magic weapon. And when he unleashed the Xuanbing Thirty-six Spears, this damaged spear seemed to have transformed into a high-grade or even top-grade magic weapon.

  Ning Cheng didn't suspect in the least that once he displayed even more terrifying gun techniques, this broken rifle might possibly become a low-grade spiritual artifact.

  From this, Ning Cheng inferred that before the gun was damaged, it must have been a top-grade magic treasure on the spiritual instrument. Moreover, the refining technique was not ordinary, and even after the gun was destroyed, the remaining seal could still keep the magic treasure usable. Ning Cheng had come into contact with relatively few magic treasures, but from some records he had read, ordinary magic instruments were difficult to use again after being damaged, and had to be repaired before they could be used again. This gun was already damaged but could still be used, which showed that the refining method of this gun was different from that of ordinary magic instruments.

  Ning Cheng took out a blue cloth and wrapped the broken gun, binding it to his back. This gun was either damaged or still usable after being refined, but it couldn't compare to the flying sword. The flying sword could be controlled by divine thoughts to change its size, but the broken gun couldn't change its size.

  Ning Cheng's storage bag only had a little over one meter of cubic space, but the broken gun was already over two meters long. Ning Cheng could only carry it on his back or hold it in his hand.

  He had already sensed the two killing auras that crisscrossed this land, and Ning City crossed this place at the fastest speed. Looking back at the large battlefield that he had left behind, Ning City thought to himself that this opportunity indeed required both luck and strength.

  He traversed the Great An Forest and unexpectedly obtained a long spear, and also grasped two types of killing intent. His combat strength soared once again; what kind of coincidence was this?

  ……

  "Auntie, I disagree." Ji Luo Fei replied to Ji Yao He without hesitation.

  Don't mention that her engagement with Ning Cheng has not been lifted, she had also promised Ning Cheng that in this life, she would never marry anyone else. Even without these, she did not plan to marry someone else again. At this moment, in her heart, there was only cultivation, and more cultivation. When she became stronger in the future, she wanted to go to the Great Ancestor Forest to take a look at why her parents couldn't get out of the forest.

  Now her aunt actually wants her to marry Shui Yu of the Shui family from Dongling True Country, she didn't even think about it and immediately refused.

  Ji Yaohuo immediately furrowed her brow and slowed down her tone, saying, "Luo Fei, the Shui family is one of the seven major families in Huazhou, and they even have a powerful Dan-stage cultivator. And Shui Yu is the number one genius of the Shui family. What does our Ji family have? Now there are only two of us left. Your spiritual root is just a dual-spirit root. If you can form an alliance with the Shui family through marriage, you will definitely be able to reach a higher level in the future. Otherwise, even if we are at the Meteorite Academy, it will be very difficult for us to advance further."

  She paused for a moment, and Ji Yaohuo continued to persuade her, "Besides, you've already disfigured yourself. With the Water family's abilities, you'll definitely be able to go to Zhongji Zhou in the future. Once you can go to Zhongji Zhou, are you still worried that you won't be able to restore your appearance? And Shui Yu's spiritual root talent is even better than yours. He was already at the sixth layer of Condensing Truth before he turned thirty. Such a person, even in Xingchen Academy, there aren't many. Why don't you agree?"

  "Aunt, I already have a husband, and there's no possibility of me marrying into the Water family. Moreover, I've disfigured myself, and in this life, apart from searching for my parents, I have no other thoughts. Please go back to the Water family." Ji Luo Fei said resolutely.

  Ji Yaohuo listened to Ji Luofei's words and stood up in anger, "Luofei, do you know the consequences of refusing the Water family? We absolutely cannot continue staying at Meteorite Academy. Leaving Meteorite Academy, where else can we go? That Ning City doesn't even have a spiritual root, after several decades, it will only be a handful of yellow earth, are you determined to guard that little yellow earth?"

  Ji Luo Fei also slowly stood up, her tone devoid of any emotion as she said, "Auntie, I've lived with Ning Cheng for over a decade. When I clearly knew he died in prison, I didn't feel even a hint of sadness when carrying him back. When he woke up on my back, I also didn't feel even a hint of joy. But now, I suddenly understand that between him and me, there's something more intimate."

  Ji Luo Fei said no more and slowly walked out of the room. Her heart was filled with sorrow, Ning Cheng had indeed not been a good thing in the past, but after coming out of prison, he had left a mark on her heart.

  If it were Ning Cheng, would he let her marry into the Shi family for his own sake?

  Auntie left Ning Cheng in the Cang Qin country, how could Ji Luo Fei not know that this was a case of borrowing a knife to kill someone? However, she had no power to change anything, her cultivation was too weak, and she could only wait until her own cultivation improved before going to see Ning Cheng again. If he died, she would wear mourning clothes for him. If he lived, then she would wish him all the best, and she could also continue searching for her parents.

  She didn't hate Ning City just because Ji Yahe borrowed a knife to kill someone, after all, she was her aunt and did everything for her.

  But today, she found herself seemingly wrong. When it comes to interests, her aunt would still not consider her feelings. Why must she stay at Meteorite Academy? Can't she just not stay at Meteorite Academy?

  "Don't worry, follow me, just listen to me."

  Ning Cheng's words made her unforgettable. If Ji Yahe wasn't her aunt, she would have left Meteorite Academy long ago for treating Ning Cheng like that.

  "Luó Fēi, you know my abilities, just remember to avenge me after you leave..." These were the words Ning Cheng said as he let her escape.

  Ji Luo Fei seemed to have returned to Cang Qin Country once again. She suddenly felt that her aunt's affection and Ning City's affection were not the same concept at all.

  It was as if Ning City only had one gold coin, while Auntie had countless spirit stones. Auntie gave her a spirit stone that was worth many times more than the gold coin. But Ning City gave her that one and only gold coin.

  If this were the end, she would feel a little better in her heart, after all, her aunt was a relative. But as her own aunt, she actually asked her for this gold coin instead. At this moment, Ning City finally made her feel that it seemed to be more related than her aunt.

  Ji Luo Fei walked out of the room, turned around and bowed slightly to the room behind her, then quickened her pace. She was going to leave this place, for her, if even her aunt had become a stranger, there was nothing left to cherish here.
