Chapter 8

Ning Cheng didn't expect to ask a question, this guy has such a bad attitude, he can only prepare to go down to the fifth floor and ask. The sixth floor is much larger than the seventh floor. Occasionally, people can be seen entering and leaving the training room. No more than the seventh floor.

"Wait a minute." At the entrance of the stairs, Ning Cheng was stopped by someone.

"You called me?" Ning Cheng turned around and saw a boy several years older than him, who seemed to have just come out of the training room. The boy's complexion was much darker than that of Ning Cheng, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously not malicious.

Ning Cheng knew that any of these cultivating students had a much higher status than his handyman. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he didn't plan to ask such a person at all, nor did he plan to talk to these students. In Cangqin Kingdom, most of the students who can enter this academy come from unusual backgrounds, no matter which one, Ning Cheng can't afford to provoke them.

"I heard what you said just now, you should be cleaning the training room, right?" the boy said directly.

Ning Cheng quickly replied, "Yes, it's my first day here and I don't know where to eat, so I came to ask."

"Not only do you not know where to eat, but you also don't seem to know the rules here. Remember that in the future, this handyman on the big stairs cannot walk. If you are encountered by some students or law enforcement officers, you will have to retreat even if you don't die."

Hearing the boy's words, Ning Cheng was shocked. He just came down from the seventh floor and took the big stairs. And Ji Luofei didn't tell him that the big stairs can't be walked? If there really is such a rule, and the boy didn't remind him, I'm afraid he's really bad luck.

"Thank you my friend for telling me, otherwise I would be in danger." Ning Cheng said gratefully.

The boy smiled and said, "It's nothing, I was cleaning the training room before. After seven years of practice, I cultivated to the second level of Qi Gathering, and then I was picked up by the academy and became the official disciple of the academy. Now I have gathered Qi four You have to work hard, maybe you can be like me in the future. Remember, in the future, you can only walk in and out of the training tower through the side door. "

After speaking, the boy pointed to a very hidden door, "There is a side door, there are on every floor. After you go in, you can go directly to the back of the training tower. There is a place to eat at the back of the training tower, and you can pay for it. You earned it yourself, don't go to Mu Lao, or you will die, I wish you good luck."

After the boy finished speaking, he didn't say his name and went down the stairs by himself.

Ning Cheng knew that the other party had no intention of getting to know him. However, this boy's guidance was equivalent to saving his life. Ning Cheng was extremely grateful to this boy.

Seeing the sound of footsteps coming from the grand staircase, Ning Cheng hurriedly walked to the small door in the corner, opened the door and walked in.

Behind the small door is extremely dark, with only a narrow staircase, which looks like a life-saving passage in the tallest buildings on Earth.

After walking down the stairway, Ning Cheng realized that he was already behind the training tower. The back of the training tower is the same as the interior of the academy, but there are very few people here, and there is only a slender and curved path. There are some towering trees on both sides of the trail, and in the gap between the tree shadows, you can still see many students from the academy coming and going. There are also some students who deliberately got into this path and hurried along the path.

Ning Cheng also followed this path, and after walking for about half a quarter of an hour, he saw a narrow door with a stone house beside the door. There was a middle-aged man in the stone house, but the man didn't care about the students who came in and out through the small gate. It seemed that he was just a gatekeeper.

As soon as Ning Cheng walked out of this small door, he was immediately shocked by the prosperity in front of him. It was like a vegetable market with everything, and it was noisy.

There are all kinds of shops, snack shops, and street stalls. It's just that the grades are very low, far inferior to the main street in the center of Cangle City. This place is so prosperous and there are so many people, Ning Cheng even suspects that Ji Luofei doesn't even know about it, at least he has no memory of it before.

A huge sign was erected in the most conspicuous place, with arrows to various places on the sign.

The first one is not a commercial building, nor is it a magic weapon and medicine store, but a pot. This was the first time Ning Cheng had heard of the name Douguo, and a strong curiosity arose in his heart. Simply follow the direction of the arrow pointing to the bucket, and after ten minutes, a huge circular building appeared in front of you.

Ning Cheng stopped, he saw two people blocking the entrance of the circular building, obviously they were charging a fee. There are still some silver coins on his body, which are his living expenses in the future, let him use it on this unknown pot, Ning Cheng doesn't want to waste it like this.

Just when Ning Cheng was about to turn around and leave, a few people came out from a door next to the circular building, and their discussions attracted him.

"Looking at the barbarian's fighting style is really meaningless. It's a little uncomfortable to lose the silver coins today. I didn't see anything exciting, and I lost money."

"The fight between Ugly Girl Ji and Gu Fei last time was amazing. I didn't expect Gu Fei to be Ugly Girl Ji's opponent."

"Ji Luofei is ugly, but she also knows the importance of cultivation. After defeating Gu Fei, you will get a Qi Gathering Stone. A Qi Gathering Stone, think about it. But she also seems to be seriously injured. Gu Fei's brother Gu Yiming comes back, and it is estimated that she will spit out what she has eaten. Even if Gu Yiming doesn't come back, Gu Fei won't be able to swallow this breath."

"It's not necessarily an ugly girl, she's just disfigured, otherwise you can find someone with a better figure than her in the academy? Even Jane Sujie is not as good as..."

"Quiet, you don't want to live anymore, dare to say Senior Sister Jian."

...

The few people gradually moved away, and the fist in Ning Cheng's hand was already clenched with blue veins. Ning Cheng didn't go inside the bucket, but it was already conceivable that it should be a bloody fighting arena, equivalent to an underground black fist. He could not have imagined that Ji Luofei's gas-gathering stone was hard-earned from this place, and that it also left serious sequelae.

That was Gu Fei's older brother Gu Yiming, and I heard from these people that Gu Fei himself was unwilling to let Ji Luofei go.

Ning Cheng was not in the mood to continue hanging out, so he casually sold some dry food and hurried back to the seventh floor of the training tower. He wants to speed up his practice and reach the fourth level of Qi Gathering as soon as possible. In this place, strength means dignity.

Few students came to train on the seventh floor of the training tower. After Ning Cheng cleaned up several training rooms, he locked himself in the small stone house and began to practice.

For students cultivating in the training room, once the room is closed, the spiritual energy in it will increase exponentially. Ning Cheng didn't have this kind of treatment. What his small stone house was originally, it was still how it was after it was closed.

When Ning Cheng began to gather Qi, a new direction of true Qi appeared in his mind again. With the concealment technique in front, this time Ning Cheng didn't hesitate at all. He directly discarded the cultivation method on the Ning family's thin scroll, and practiced according to the cultivation method that appeared in his mind.

The lack of spiritual energy in the outside world did not affect Ning Cheng at all. At the same time as he began to cultivate, his dantian was the same as before, providing a spiritual source that was purer and denser than spiritual energy, allowing Ning Cheng to continuously wash and open up his whole body. Meridians everywhere.

Ning Cheng had the previous experience, so he didn't panic at this time. He found that using the cultivation method that appeared in his consciousness was more effective than the Ning family's cultivation scroll. Whether it is the speed at which the infuriating energy flows along the meridians, or the rest, it is more than ten times smoother.

When Ning Cheng woke up again, he was already in the second layer of Qi Gathering, and a lot of dirt was seeping out of his body again.

Feeling the flow of true energy more powerful than the first layer of Qi Gathering, let Ning Cheng know that he was promoted to the second layer of Qi Gathering without any suspense. After calculating the time, he actually practiced for two days and two nights in a row.

In addition to being hungry, there is only the feeling of infuriating fluctuations. Ning Cheng didn't dare to continue cultivating, so he had already committed a crime, and he didn't go to clean up the training room for two days.

Fortunately, he also knew that there were very few practitioners on the seventh floor, and that Mu Lao would not really care about him. Ning Cheng didn't immediately go out to clean up the training room, but continued to practice a new spell, Dust Removal. In the future, after each practice, he should use the dust removal technique to remove the dirt on his body, instead of going downstairs to find water to wash.

In the early morning of the third day, Ning Cheng used the dust removal technique to clean himself up, and then went to clean the training room.

The training room on the seventh floor was as he thought, and not many people came to practice. Even if he didn't come to clean for three days, there were still several clean training rooms vacant.

...

In the days that followed, Ning Cheng hid in the seventh floor to cultivate, and at the same time took advantage of the opportunity to clear the cultivation room to practice various spells in the cultivation room. The only regret is that he practiced spells in the training room without any spiritual support.

Time passed quickly, ten days passed in a blink of an eye, during this period Ji Luofei did not come up to find Ning Cheng once. Ning Cheng also rarely went out, and all his attention was devoted to cultivation.

But after Ning Cheng advanced to the third level of Qi Gathering, he panicked a little. After he cultivated to the third level of Qi Gathering, he could no longer sense the support of the spiritual source in his body. Ning Cheng knew very well that without the support of the mysterious spiritual source in his body, even if he cultivated for a lifetime, he would not be able to cultivate from the third level of Qi Gathering to the fourth level of Qi Gathering.

In the next few days, Ning Cheng practiced repeatedly, but he was no longer able to have the support of pure spiritual energy in his body. His cultivation has stagnated, but several simple spells have been successfully cultivated. When he just advanced to the third level of Qi Gathering, under the guidance of the modification of the cultivation technique, he even turned the fireball technique and advanced into the fire knife technique.

Even so, it still made Ning Cheng anxious. Without the support of the mysterious spiritual source, he could only stay at the third level of Qi Gathering for the rest of his life.

Ning Cheng decided to go out to find Ji Luo Fei, but his cultivation didn't make any progress. He didn't want to stay in this stone house any longer. He just cleaned up, and before he opened the door, he heard a "bang", and the door of his small stone house was kicked open with his feet.
