Chapter 0146: Presently at the Axe Valley
“Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, why are you not even sparing the Rank 1 and Rank 2 Spiritual Grasses?” As ng Jing Xiu saw Ning Cheng, who as long as he saw a Spiritual Grass, would collect it no matter what, without even giving a thought to its rank, finally spoke up.
Although, the hill had too many good things, it had Spiritual Grasses from Rank 1 to all the way to Rank 4, there were even so Rank 5 Spiritual Grasses growing here.
Ning Cheng just simply gave a chuckle and spoke, “I am preparing to learn Alchemy, therefore these Spiritual Grasses are really useful to .”
“You want to learn Alchemy?” ng Jing Xiu stared at Ning Cheng, and only reacted after a long while. It was because she was conscious of the fact that Alchemy was very difficult, as a result she was really astonished when she heard those words.
Regardless of the fact that Alchemy needed innurable Spiritual Grasses as resources, it was not sothing an ordinary person could afford to learn even if they wanted to, that was because Alchemy was sothing inborn in a person, it simply cannot be casually learned even by a competent person.
Moreover, the best Spiritual Root needed to try to learn Alchemy was the Fire Spiritual Root, with the Wood Spiritual Root as an Auxiliary Support Spiritual Root, moreover the Spiritual Roots absolutely cannot be a hybrid one. In addition to this, one must also have a strong talent and affinity towards Alchemy. Because of this, even in the entire Yi Xing Mainland, the number of Alchemists were extrely pitiful in number, even in the Advanced Class Continents, Alchemy Masters were still very uncommon.
Ning Cheng seed to have known what ng Jing Xiu was thinking about, so after thinking about it himself, he once again casually replied, “If you don’t want them, then you can give your Lower Ranked Spiritual Grasses, so that I can use them in my Alchemy and give the finished Pills to you.”
ng Jing Xiu eased up, as she smiled and said, “I do not need Spiritual Grasses, I did not co here for the sake of gathering Spiritual Grasses, if you want these Spiritual Grasses, I can give all of them to you.”
As ng Jing Xiu said this, she looked at Ning Cheng in a sowhat sheepish manner. Although she wanted to explain a bit more, but thinking about it she simply chose to not ntion it. For ng Jing Xiu the Spiritual Grasses here truly had not much use for her.
“I have always been this kind of a person, so my personality is sowhat eccentric. As such, I don’t know how to say things in the correct way. Before in the Mo Ze Grand Plaza I had offended you openly. I hope and also request Senior Apprentice Brother Ning to not mind it.” ng Jing Xiu had always wanted to sincerely apologise to Ning Cheng after that incident. So now that she heard Ning Cheng say that he wanted to learn Alchemy, her mood imdiately relaxed, and on the contrary, finally ca out and said the things that she wanted to say.
Ning Cheng simply gave a smile, “Although when I t you before, I admit that I had a bit of a poor impression of you, but after seeing that your magic weapon is a long halberd, I knew that you were a frank person, therefore I did not mind it all. In fact, you know, you should smile a lot more. The smile that was on your face a mont ago on your serious face really made you much more beautiful.”
[TL Note: In ancient tis, the people who preferred and wielded the Halberd as their weapon for battles, were all generally viewed as straightforward and having a frank personality. They were the people who would generally speak their mind.]
Ning Cheng was from Earth, so for him to praise a woman to be beautiful, was a very normal matter for him, and was not necessarily like the others. Although ng Jing Xiu had a slightly dark skin, but none the less she was truly beautiful. Before she had always put on a serious face, but now that there were more smiles on her face, her womanly charm was completely revealed, it was only normal for him to complent her.
ng Jing Xiu’s face turned slightly red, as she lowered her head and did not speak. Although she was confident that she was not ugly, but she knew that when Ning Cheng said that she was beautiful, it was not because he felt attracted to her. This was a woman’s intuition. Sothing that she was completely unable to express in words. What’s more, for her, there were simply too many things that she must handle, so the matter of finding a companion, was sothing that was absolutely impossible for her at this mont.
“Yi! I found four mature Essence Raising Fruits.” The thing Ning Cheng just casually said, he had already put it aside. At present, the thing that he was most attracted at the mont was the stub containing four Essence Raising Fruits in a row. Generally, there would only be a single Essence Raising Fruit on one stub, moreover the branches of the Essence Raising Fruit were also very small, just like a piece of an ordinary thin grass.
The Essence Raising Fruit was one of the main Spiritual Fruits required to refine the Essence Building Pill, moreover previously because Ruimu Danqin had obtained an Essence Raising Fruit, it had almost provoked a fatal disaster for them.
With the discovery of the Essence Raising Fruit, more and more High Ranking Spiritual Grasses began to appear in front of them, Heaven Scented Precious Zoysia, Returning Boat Flower, Declivity Gathering Root, Mist Orchids and other precious Spiritual Grasses were found in abundance by Ning Cheng.
Seeing the Heaven Scented Precious Zoysia, Ning Cheng imdiately was reminded of An Yi, who was currently in the Falling Star Academy. Initially she wanted to find the Heaven Scented Precious Zoysia, and even though she worked very hard to try and find it but she was not able to find a single one, but now unexpectedly he was able to obtain more than one here. As for the Returning Boat Flower, after being refined into a pill, it can then easily be used by an Essence Building Cultivator to cultivate. However, the Declivity Gathering Root and the Mist Orchids were sothing really precious.
Especially the Declivity Gathering Root, although its rank was not as high as the Mist Orchids, but it is one of the Best Quality Spiritual Grasses among the Rank 4 Spiritual Grasses, moreover this Spiritual Grass can be refined into a Declivity Spiritual Pill.
The Declivity Spiritual Pill was a Level 4 True Pill, once a lower level cultivator was possessed by the devil when he cultivates, then using the Declivity Spiritual Pill was the best dicinal pill that could help him/her.
[TL Note – Here the ‘devil’ refers to ntal demons that a cultivator has to face.]
On the Spiritual Grass Hill, Ning Cheng had already filled two Storage Bags, of course, it also included the one that ng Jing Xiu gave to him. ng Jing Xiu only kept a very small part of the Spiritual Grasses that were possibly of so use to her, while she handed over the rest to Ning Cheng.
“This really is very good, Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, let us change hills and continue.” Ning Cheng rubbed his hands in glee, he was looking more and more forward to explore the rest of the Angry Axe Valley.
ng Jing Xiu gave an ‘en’ sound, but then spoke after a bit of hesitation, “Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, do we go to that place first. Here there are innurable Spiritual Grasses, but there are only Lower Ranked Spiritual Grasses. Because of the accident that happened in the Angry Axe Valley, I am afraid that we would not be able to go to that place before we end up being transferred out.”
Ning Cheng imdiately recovered from the delusion of collecting innurable Spiritual Grasses, as he thought about what ng Jing Xiu said, it really was not without reason. Who knew when the Angry Axe Valley would revert to its previous state and transfer them out?
Having so thought till here, he once more cautiously asked, “Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, what is this place in the Angry Axe Valley that you keep speaking about? Moreover, how do you know about this place?”
ng Jing Xiu did not have the ti to answer, when Ning Cheng imdiately sensed a berserk ripple coming from the periphery, this feeling made Ning Cheng feel extre danger. Without any ti to reflect on it, he imdiately grabbed ng Jing Xiu, and explosively increased his speed to the point that he only appeared as a vague blur, as he imdiately flew out and escaped from the hill.
ng Jing Xiu who was imdiately grabbed by Ning Cheng, seeing him fleeing with full force, imdiately knew that sothing terrible might have happened, as such she did not dare move about. Sure enough, the next mont a terrible deafening explosion rumbled through at the place the two of them were just standing about.
“Hong....” A terrible explosion resounded behind Ning Cheng’s back, causing the strong impact to directly explode on Ning Cheng’s back, the clothes on Ning Cheng’s back imdiately shred to pieces because of the explosion.
It was followed by a “Peng” sound, as Ning Cheng was imdiately thrown forcefully because of the strength of the explosion, falling to the ground at a distance, forming a huge pit beneath him, while he still kept ng Jing Xiu pressed to him to protect her. ng Jing Xiu’s original injuries were still not fully healed, so because she was still with Ning Cheng, she imdiately spouted a mouthful of blood.
Ning Cheng was already at Essence Building 1st Level, so his True Essence was extrely vigorous, so when his clothes were shredded away by the explosion, other than a minute amount of blood that trickled out, there was no other injuries on his body. He imdiately held up ng Jing Xiu and spoke in an apologetical manner, “I don’t know how, but the hill we were at exploded suddenly. I did not pay more attention to it, and ended up hurting you again.”
ng Jing Xiu finally stood up on her feet, as she wiped off the bloodstains on her mouth and said, “I am fine, if not for you grabbing and leaving a mont ago, then perhaps I would not have been able to co out.”
All the people looked at Ning Cheng’s hill in astonishnt, at this ti, that hill had already vanished and could not be seen at all, rather that hill had turned into a huge pit. Moreover, that terrible power of the explosion, even if it was a cultivator in the Essence Building Realm, it was not sothing that they could withstand. In other words, if they had been collecting Spiritual Grasses in there, then, at this ti they would have already died.
Several of the Essence Building Cultivators were just on their way to Ning Cheng to inquire what had happened, when several fierce explosions started to resound all around them.
Two hills that were not far from them suddenly exploded with a trendous explosive force, as a result the cultivators still inside the hill were not as lucky as Ning Cheng and ng Jing Xiu. Other than a few cultivators that rushed away while still being on the outside, the rest of the cultivators inside and near the periphery of the hills were not able to escape, and imdiately turned into ash because of the intense explosive force that exploded out from the hills.
As a result, the cultivators still seeking Spiritual Grasses, or the cultivators still collaborating to break into the hills, imdiately withdrew in bulk. Sure enough, these cultivators had only walked not far away, when more hills began to explode. Finally, because of the continuous explosions, it ford into a towering Imposing Manner, as the huge explosion sounds began to rise up unceasingly.
So of the cultivators were simply too late in escaping, and were hit by those explosions in droves, as they all finally fell from the sky dead.
“Sure enough, we really were able to escape early....” Ning Cheng spoke with a lingering fear in his voice, if he was even a little bit slow, then maybe he would have been one of the people who fell from the sky dead because of the explosion.
Although he had still not finished speaking, he knew that these explosions were not without a reason, as it was simply impossible for all the hills to continuously explode without any reason while frying those who were still collecting on those Spiritual Grass Hills before they exploded.
Smoke and rubble produced from the explosion had already completely covered this place. Ning Cheng at once swept out with his Spiritual Consciousness in the direction of Situ Yu and the others, but found nothing, and instead actually felt a bit relieved.
“The Angry Axe Valley, it’s the Angry Axe Valley......the real Angry Axe Valley erged......” An incoherent voice sounded out, this voice imdiately drew the attention of everyone to the sight in front of them.
And imdiately even more people started calling out incoherently, as they thought that what they saw in front of them was the real Angry Axe Valley.
Ning Cheng and ng Jing Xiu also clearly saw a huge ravine appear in front of them, moreover this huge ravine seed to have been cleaved by an Axe and as such it’s walls were extrely neat and smooth. Moreover, the faint trace of Killing Intent that was leaking out from there, imdiately made the bodies of all the people there turn cold.
But at this mont Ning Cheng could indistinctly feel that this Angry Axe Valley and the Angry Axe Valley that he had went and seen before were sowhat different, but as to what was different, he could not put his finger on.
Because the Spiritual Grass Hill had now turned into flat ground because of the explosions, the cultivators who were depressed, once more beca excited. Even if those hills turned flat, there was still the real Angry Axe Valley in front of them, this was simply a true great opportunity. As long as they could comprehend even a tiny bit of the Axe Intent in the true Angry Axe Valley, their future would really end up great.
Didn’t that Early Stage Essence Building Cultivator from beforehand comprehend the Axe Intent, and easily and continuously killed the two Essence Building Masters from the Red Heaven Academy? Moreover, one of them was even at Essence Building 7th Level. What did that person rely on? It was the Axe Intent.
“Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, I seem to feel a kind of Killing Intent, my...” ng Jing Xiu spoke while being pleasantly surprised, the Imposing Manner of her halberd technique “Raging Tides of the River” was already amazing, but she actually felt that she lacked a certain charm to it, this charm was precisely the true Killing Intent. This was the Halberd Intent, if she could comprehend the Halberd Intent here, then her battle proficiency would have more than doubled.
Ning Cheng saw that countless people were swarming towards the Angry Axe Valley, and nodded, “You’d better go in, after a while I will co look for you.”
“Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, don’t you want to go in?” ng Jing Xiu asked as she looked at Ning Cheng in a puzzled manner.
“I can already feel the Axe Intent from here, moreover I can already feel that I can obtain it.” Ning Cheng quickly replied, before he had felt that this Axe Valley and the Axe Valley that he saw before were sowhat different, but now he could tell that they both were absolutely different. This entire Axe Valley, looking from an overall perspective looked incomparably smooth, but when he observed the surroundings with his Spiritual Consciousness this ti, he found that the Axe Traces here had innurable tiny cracks.
But Ning Cheng could actually feel sothing from these cracks, he could feel that this vague feeling was a third kind of Axe Intent.
......
Author Note: The previous two kinds of Axe Intent Ning Cheng comprehended are:
[Angry Axe, the 1st Trace]
[Angry Axe, Tornado]
