Chapter 46 Cultivation Grounds

  The goat whisker's attack this time gathered almost all of his true yuan, the four-edged sword shone with a nearly one-zhang long sword aura. This sword aura was completely different from the sword aura Ning Cheng had brought out earlier. The sword aura Ning Cheng had brought out earlier could be said to be a sword shadow, although it looked longer, but compared to this substantial sword aura, it was far inferior.

  The four-edged sword tip directly stabbed into the neck of the single-horned crocodile, the sword tip and the scaly pieces of the single-horned crocodile collided with each other, sparks splashed everywhere, and even made a sound of gold and iron clashing.

  After this sword aura completely dissipated, the neck of the single-horned crocodile was not pierced. The goat whiskers seemed to have expected that this sword aura would be unable to break through the single-horned crocodile's neck, and after this sword aura, three more similarly ferocious zhang-long sword auras followed closely behind.

  "Hiss......" As the fourth sword tip of the mountain goat's beard pierced into the neck of the single-horned serpent, the soft scale on its neck was directly lifted, and a blood arrow was brought up at the same time.

  Ning Cheng's clear feeling was that the blood arrow had already turned a deep purple color, and it could be seen that the two poisonous pellets on the goat whiskers were extremely terrifying.

  The Qiu's neck was pierced, and suddenly the Qiu became even more furious. Its huge tail swung back without warning.

  The mountain goat's true yuan was already depleted after continuously slashing out several sword auras, and the single-horned crocodile's counter-sweep this time caught him off guard, directly sweeping his waist.

  The goat's whiskers were also a blood arrow, shot out and swept away by the single-horned python again, and another impact was heard on the giant tree in the distance. Even Ning City could hear the crisp sound of his entire skeletal system being shattered.

  Ning Cheng secretly thought that he deserved it. This kind of guy who betrays his friends is the most despicable. It would be best if this guy was also swallowed by the Jiaolong.

  Under the poison of the unicorn, its neck was also broken open, and the tail that had just been swung back was now still. At this time, it swept away the goat's beard and also wilted, only trembling a few times on the spot before completely coming to a standstill.

  The goat lying on the ground took out a black bottle, poured some liquid into its mouth, and slowly stood up.

  "Haha, I've been planning this for nearly two years and today it finally succeeded..." He just smiled and there was blood at the corner of his mouth, but the excitement in his eyes was already evident.

  "Really? Then shouldn't I say, I've waited for two months and finally succeeded today?" Ning Cheng's voice stunned the mountain goat, who didn't expect there to be someone else here. Immediately afterwards, he saw Ning Cheng jumping down from a large tree.

  Ma Qi saw the city of Ning at a glance and understood his situation, he was happy too early. At this time, there is only endless regret in his heart, he regrets that before coming here, he did not search around. If he could be more careful, there would definitely be no such result.

  However, he quickly calmed down and stared at Ning City with a cold voice, "Although I'm already seriously injured, if I make a desperate move, you, a mere Qi-refining fifth-layer cultivator, are not enough to take me on. Let's split the python skin evenly, but the python horn is mine, then we'll go our separate ways."

  If it weren't for the map of Da'an Forest, Ning City would have taken action long ago. He absolutely wouldn't trade with this kind of person. But without the map, he couldn't get out at all.

  "I heard you have a map that leads through the Great An Forest. Hand over your map, then we can talk about other things." Ning Cheng said expressionlessly.

  "No problem," said Machiwa, his hand already reaching into the storage pouch at his waist.

  Ning Cheng didn't wait for the other party to take out the map, and the flying sword in his hand had already brought up five mysterious ice sword auras. "I also heard that there is a Spiritual Spring at the bottom of this lake? Even if there isn't a Spiritual Spring, I still want to kill you."

  At this moment, the goat has no ability to resist.

  "Hoo...!" The five icy sword tips of the Wuxiang Mystic Ice Sword directly pierced through Shan Yang Shu Ma Qi's chest, bringing out five blood arrows. In the instant these five blood arrows were brought out, they had already turned into five ice-blood arrows.

  "You..." Ma Qi's face was filled with resentment as he pointed at Ning Cheng, he really hadn't planned on making a move. This fifth-layer cultivator of the Gathering Stage had actually taken advantage of the situation to launch a sneak attack. He truly couldn't understand why Ning Cheng wouldn't wait for him to take out the map before making his move.

  Ning Cheng's flying sword swept out another sword light, and Ma Qi Shui's head was knocked off like a football.

  Ning Cheng has been here for less than half a year, but his loose cultivation experience is rising linearly. Since Ma Chi Shui reached into the storage bag to grab something, it means that the thing is in the storage bag. As long as he kills him, why worry about not having the map?

  Besides, even if Machi Water was deceiving him, even if he forced the other party to make a map, the other party would probably not be able to make a real map. Moreover, with Machi Water's injuries, it is impossible for him to make a map.

  Ning Cheng killed Ma Qi Shui and immediately rushed to his side, grabbing his storage bag and throwing it into his own. At the same time, several fireballs flew over, turning Ma Qi Shui into flying ash.

  Ning Cheng picked up the goat hair and returned to the side of the single-horned crocodile that had been poisoned by Ma Qi Shui. At this time, the entire area around the single-horned crocodile was covered in black bloodstains. A wave of pungent smells wafted over, causing Ning Cheng to feel dizzy.

  What a powerful toxin! Ning Cheng's heart secretly trembled with fear. He had only smelled a hint of the odor, yet he was already experiencing wave after wave of dizziness.

  Ning Cheng quickly took out a piece of cloth and covered his mouth and nose before approaching the single-horned crocodile.

  Even if Ning Cheng didn't know what materials were needed to refine the equipment, he knew that this single-horned crocodile was full of treasures. A fourth-level demon beast already had a demon core, it's just unknown whether the demon core could still be obtained after the single-horned crocodile ate such a potent poison.

  Ning Cheng put the Four-Edged Sword next to the Qilin's horn into his storage bag, then took out his own Flying Sword, wanting to tear open the Qilin's skin.

  The incredibly hard leather made Ning City realize that he had overestimated his own strength, as he gathered his energy to the fifth layer and still couldn't simply cut through even a single piece of beast skin, let alone this solitary horned crocodile's hide.

  This basilisk is extremely poisonous all over its body. No one in Ning City dares to put this thing into their storage bag, and besides, his storage bag can't hold this single-horned basilisk anyway.

  Fortunately, there was no one in this place to begin with. The unicorn was killed and the bloody smell had dissipated, but the bloody smell carried a strong poison. The beast's sense of smell was extremely keen, and no beast wanted to come to such a poisonous place.

  Ning City spent two whole days, and only then was he able to slowly take off the crocodile skin, and also took down the crocodile horn and a piece of crocodile tendon, which he put together into his storage bag. Especially that crocodile horn, Ning City had already planned to find someone to refine it into a Seven Star Ice Needle. Once he had the Seven Star Ice Needle, when casting this spell, it would be an unparalleled sharp weapon.

  He didn't find Jiaodan, nor did he know that Jiaodan had transformed, or that this single-horned Jiao was less than fourth-level.

  After dealing with these things, Ning City burned the whole crocodile to ashes with fire and then buried the remaining ash in a desolate place.

  After tidying up Ning City, it still looks quite messy here, but much better than before.

  Although he had obtained a considerable amount of wealth, Ning Cheng did not choose to return to the tree hole to cultivate. He jumped into Qing Shui Lake at the first time.

  According to the words of the goat whiskers, there is spiritual energy in this clear water lake. And the reason why the single-horned crocodile occupies this lake is because of the spiritual energy here. Now that the overlord single-horned crocodile of Clear Water Lake has been killed, he will definitely be safe entering Clear Water Lake.

  In fact, Ning Cheng's guess was not wrong. After entering the Qing Shui Lake, he swam to a huge rock group at the bottom of the lake without any difficulty. A thick spiritual energy emanated from the rock group, and Ning Cheng easily found a huge cave in the rock group.

  This cave must be the place where the Unicorneel cultivates, and the Unicorneel is gone. Ning City doesn't have to worry about danger at all. He swam directly into the cave in the rock group. The water inside the cave was getting less and less, and Ning City swam to the back, and could even walk here.

  After a stick of incense, the cave was completely dry, and a ray of light appeared in front of him. Ning Cheng stared at a pair of huge night pearls in front of him, which would cause a sensation on Earth if taken there. Even if they weren't taken to Earth, this pair of night pearls were worth a city here.

  A gentle breeze blew from inside the cave, and Ning Cheng immediately understood that this cave must be connected to some place outside.

  Ning City walked another dozen meters along the cave and a square-shaped spring pool appeared in front of him, with spring liquid constantly seeping out from above. Thick spiritual energy was emanating from this spring pool, but Ning City had no idea that this was the spiritual essence mentioned by the mountain goat's beard.

  Next to the small Spirit Pool, there is a flat stone about the same size as the pool. This stone has been polished until it's extremely smooth. Ning Cheng didn't even need to guess that this flat stone was where the Single-Horned Serpent cultivated. It's also hard for this Single-Horned Serpent, with its several-zhang-long body coiled around this flat stone cultivating.

  Such a large spiritual spring made Ning City's heart beat with excitement. Even when he obtained more than 500 spirit stones, he wasn't this excited. This place was not only an excellent cultivation site but also a flowing source of spiritual energy.

  Ling stone is a consumable, and there aren't many of them. Silently cultivating in this place is the real hard truth. No wonder that single-horned crocodile can cultivate to level 4. Unfortunately, that single-horned crocodile's cultivation is dull, its experience is very poor. Otherwise, with its strength, even if several dozen mountain goat whiskers came, it wouldn't be enough for them to defeat it.

  Ning Cheng walked a little further up the cave entrance and found that there was nothing else inside. There were only some gentle breezes coming from above, forming a cycle, and then blowing back.

  Ning City immediately made this place his base for future cultivation. He didn't rush to cultivate, but instead returned to the entrance of the cave at the bottom of the lake and used his flying sword to seal it off completely in a short amount of time.

  The strength of the Qilin lies in not blocking the cave entrance, and no other demon beast comes to compete with it for this spiritual spring, but Ning Cheng can't do anything about it. His cultivation is really too weak, only barely reaching the fifth layer of Qi gathering.
