Chapter Twenty-Five: Mysterious Yellow Information

  "Brother Pu, why aren't you leaving?" Seeing Ye Dao people stopped, Feng Feizhang asked in puzzlement.

  Ye Dao's face changed slightly, and he accelerated forward for another kilometer before stopping again. This time, he didn't wait for the others to ask, but instead spoke up on his own, "Feng brother, I estimate that Ning Cheng and his cousin probably didn't escape this disaster. Why don't we head to the Manggo Sea area first, and then find a few more people?"

  The reason why the master said so is that he saw the two route maps dropped by Ning City. There were his marks on the map, so he could find them. After seeing these two route maps, the clues he could sense were completely broken. He had no choice but to stop under such circumstances.

  Whether Ning Cheng is dead or escaped, at least now he can't be found.

  Ye Dao was very clever and didn't go to pick up the route map that Ning Cheng had dropped, so the others didn't suspect Ye Dao's words. Now Ye Dao said it was difficult to find, going to the Mang Hai domain to look for other partners, no one opposed.

  The route map was brought out by the industry insiders, and they didn't care about it anymore. Why should others still care?

  ……

  When Ning Cheng opened his eyes, a book had already been flipped through nearly one-third of the way. He immediately saw An Yi staring at him.

  "An Yi, what are you looking at me for?" Ning Cheng asked, but he was still immersed in the joy of entering the Array Formation Hall. He felt that he had touched upon a new realm. He finally understood what an array formation was, what a seal was, and why array formations could be operated.

  "I didn't expect that you could also go into seclusion while reading, and this time it's been three days and three nights, aren't you hungry?" An Yi also let out a sigh of relief, Ning Cheng finally came to his senses.

  Before that, she had only heard her master say that cultivation could be understood through closed doors, but today was the first time she saw that reading books could also be done in a similar way.

  Ning Cheng heard An Yi say this, and only then did he feel his own hunger, but soon after that, he smelled the strange smell all over his body. For three days, while meditating on the formation method, his cultivation method automatically ran, and it actually seeped out some impurities and strange smells.

  "Wait for me." Ning Cheng said awkwardly to An Yi, then quickly crawled out of the cave and gave himself several Clear Water Decisions and Dust Removal Decisions, washing his clothes thoroughly before putting them back on and re-entering the cave.

  Ning Cheng walked in clean and tidy, and An Yi finally showed a hint of a smile. She immediately took out a few dry rations and handed them to Ning Cheng, saying "You eat something first."

  Ning Cheng hastily swallowed a few dry rations and once again picked up the storage bag in his hand.

  "Brother Ning, that storage bag should be sealed, you won't be able to...” An Yi's words were cut off as she stared at Ning Cheng in shock, "Brother Ning, how did you manage to open the storage bag?"

  Ning Cheng chuckled and said, "This is called easy for those who know how to do it, but difficult for those who don't. This formation's seal really is simple, I just casually read a few books for a couple of days and figured it out."

  An Yi was stunned for a long time before saying, "Ning big brother, for a cultivator, formation is the most difficult thing, even more difficult than cultivation by several times. How can you say it's not difficult?"

  "Or maybe the storage bag restriction I got is really simple, so...". Ning Cheng subconsciously said a sentence and then changed his words, "Hmm, can't say it's not difficult, when I took the exam before, just reading books for half an hour to an hour was enough. This time it seems like I've been reading for several days, looks like the formation is still somewhat difficult."

  An Yi listened to Ning Cheng's acknowledgment that the formation method was a bit difficult, and nodded in agreement. She had simple thoughts, thinking that she was relatively stupid, and there were many people as smart as Ning Cheng. So Ning Cheng's explanation, which made him laugh out loud, was also recognized by her. As for the new terms in Ning Cheng's mouth, she had long been used to them.

  Ning Cheng was already familiar with the usage of storage bags, and he brought out over a hundred white crystal stones with a wave of his hand. These hundreds of white crystal stones actually contained extremely dense spiritual energy.

  "Hmm, this Qi stone is quite pure. Initially, I saw only dark yellow ones, but this time I actually saw a milky white Qi stone. This is indeed a novel thing." Ning Cheng sighed as he pinched a white crystal stone.

  At first, Ji Luofei had to rack her brains to get one piece of Gathering Spirit Stone for him and almost lost her life. Today, he easily obtained over a hundred pieces, and they were all so pure.

  An Yi said on the side, "Ning brother, what's in your hand isn't a Gathering Stone, but a Spirit Stone. This should be an inferior Spirit Stone, my master said there are also mid-grade and high-grade Spirit Stones."

  "Ling stone?" Ning City had never heard of these two words before, but he felt that they seemed to fit this crystal more appropriately.

  "Ah, yes," she said with a nod. "One low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for one hundred high-quality gathering stones, and they're hard to come by. Gathering stones are usually used by lower-level gathering cultivators, although they're rare, they can still be found. Spirit stones are different, they only produce in places with dense spiritual energy. These are used by powerful cultivators, my master even gave me one before. You've obtained so many this time, it will definitely greatly improve your cultivation."

  Ning Cheng suddenly realized, no wonder he felt that the Gathering Spirit Stone was not very good, and it was even slower than when he didn't use the Gathering Spirit Stone to cultivate. It turned out that the Gathering Spirit Stone was such a low-grade thing, so to speak, one Spiritual Stone could be exchanged for 10,000 gold coins?

  Ning Cheng soon realized that he was just being foolish, based on what An Yi said about the preciousness of the Spirit Stone, there shouldn't be anyone stupid enough to exchange a Spirit Stone for gold coins. Not to mention 10,000, probably even tens of thousands wouldn't be enough to get someone to make the trade.

  "So, one medium-grade spirit stone is equivalent to a hundred low-grade spirit stones? And what about high-grade spirit stones..." Ning City thought of the value of high-grade spirit stones and suddenly felt a strong desire. Even if he couldn't cultivate, getting his hands on a single high-grade spirit stone would make him rich.

  An Yi shook her head and said, "Otherwise, a mid-grade spirit stone can only be exchanged for ten low-grade spirit stones, and a high-grade spirit stone can also only be exchanged for ten mid-grade spirit stones."

  Ning Cheng nodded, "That's quite a sight too."

  Then Ning Cheng took out several jade bottles, books, a jade slip, some materials and spiritual grasses from the storage bag. In addition to these, there was also a flying sword artifact.

  What disappointed Ning City was that he didn't find any flying treasures. Although he also knew that with his abilities, even if he had a flying treasure, he couldn't control it, but this kind of flying treasure always gave him great **.

  An Yi didn't know that Ning Cheng was still not satisfied, and continued to explain to him, "This storage bag is already yours, you need to refine it yourself, and then set up a restriction. The restriction of the storage bag depends on your level of understanding of the restriction, the higher your understanding, the higher the restriction you can set."

  Ning Cheng nodded, leaving behind the jade bottle and spirit stone. He then put everything else into his storage bag. Next, he handed twenty spirit stones to An Yi, saying, "An Yi, we need to establish ourselves in the Mang Ocean Domain, but our cultivation is still too low. Now I'm going to use these spirit stones to cultivate and see what happens. You should also use them to cultivate. Once one of us can break through to the fourth layer of Qi Condensation, we won't have to fear that Industry Dao person's meddling. Take a look at these medicine bottles and take out the ones you can use. I'm going to continue my closed-door training, don't disturb me."

  Ning Cheng was well aware of his own low cultivation level, and now that he had obtained the spiritual stone, he was eager to know if he could advance to the fourth layer of Qi gathering. If even the spiritual stone couldn't help him advance, then he would truly be out of options.

  So he obtained the Ling Stone, gave twenty to An Yi, and immediately began to retreat. Not even the entrance of this simple cave was blocked, let alone setting up an array.

  An Yi's experience was even less than Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng hadn't even thought of setting up a formation, let alone her. However, she deeply agreed with Ning Cheng's words, having low cultivation indeed wasn't going to work.

  So after obtaining the spiritual stone, they also started closing. In this way, two people with no experience at all began to close in a place without any defense.

  ……

  Ning Cheng was now immersed in joy, and after absorbing the dense spiritual energy from the Ling Stone, his stagnant cultivation seemed to have a breakthrough.

  This was not the most surprising thing, what surprised him the most was that the true energy he had been cultivating in his mind had once again undergone a correction. The faintly discernible spirit and divine energy that had not appeared in his body for a long time reappeared in his meridians.

  The true energy in the meridians continuously flows and gathers, making Ning City vaguely feel that his own true energy is constantly condensing and increasing. One cycle after another, his meridians are constantly expanding and opening up. Sometimes it's just a slight expansion, but to Ning City, it feels like an entire world has been opened up.

  A new cultivation technique in his mind, just like carving a seal, made Ning City completely abandon the Ning family's cultivation technique and immerse himself in this new world.

  Also, unknowingly after a long time, Ning City felt a 'boom' sound in his body, the powerful true energy circulation and even more solid meridians made Ning City understand that he had already advanced to the fourth layer of Qi gathering.

  From the third layer of Qi gathering to the fourth layer is a watershed, many people use spiritual grass and elixirs but cannot pass, yet he actually used spiritual stones to get through. This made Ning City overjoyed, as he solidified his cultivation while continuing to absorb spiritual energy, performing the cycle of heavenly circulation.

  Suddenly, a faint yellow aura appeared in his Purple Mansion, and Ning Cheng's heart was startled. He felt a sense of familiarity in this yellow aura. It seemed to be a kind of serenity, yet it also seemed to be a kind of vicissitude, and even more so, a kind of comfort that he couldn't quite put into words. That seemed to be the spiritual energy he had sensed before, but it was also somewhat different from the spiritual energy.

  As Ning City focused all his attention on that yellow millet, he felt his body shake slightly, and the next moment, he suddenly appeared in a vast expanse of yellow misty sky.

  "What is this place? An Yi, An Yi..." Ning Cheng suddenly appeared in this place, he immediately woke up and hurriedly shouted An Yi.

  At this moment, a message as if from ancient times automatically imprinted itself in Ning City's mind: "Xuan Huang stores heaven and earth, the universe has no vast desolation... Above form is called Dao, below form is called instrument... Splitting apart the sun and moon outside, treading on the Zhang Chen star above, can be called the Holy Way..."

  At this moment, whether it was the complex information that Ning City could understand or not, all of it poured into his mind, leaving him no room to refuse.
