The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 529 - 305 Death of the Dragon Turtle_2

"Getting the Gold Essence doesn’t require much effort; if you guys are too busy, I can go by myself."

Changtian furrowed his brows. The Divine Thought left by Turtle Immortal, although only one ten-thousandth as powerful as his true self, had suffered Heaven’s Punishment from just a glimpse of the Heavenly Mechanism, which was contrary to common sense.

What they lacked most now was manpower. Immediately, a few of them decided that Wen Liangyu would go to find the Gold Essence. After undergoing a transformation and studying the Immortal Divine Skills in the underwater cave mansion, Wen Liangyu’s mental state had gradually become more peaceful. This time, he approached Ning Xiaoxian, wanting to acknowledge her as his sister and change his surname to Ning, as a way to forget the affairs of his past life and thereafter devote himself entirely to the Dao.

Ning Xiaoxian was both surprised and delighted. Having come to this Otherworld alone, although she had Changtian for company, she ultimately couldn’t experience the affection of relatives. Suddenly having a sworn younger brother now, her heart felt fulfilled, and she couldn’t help but hug him, planting a kiss on his cheek with a smack.

After he attained human form, he had become a refined and handsome young man, embodying the gentle and scholarly demeanor of a scholar. Changtian’s face darkened instantly. Now called Ning Yu, Wen Liangyu hurriedly forced a laugh and said, "Sister, you’re going to kill me with this." Ning Xiaoxian didn’t care much, humming songs as she prepared numerous candied fruits and snacks for his journey, bought him several outfits, and finally gave him travel expenses before allowing Ning Yu to set off.

Those days, the pressure at the bottom of the God Demon Prison was very low, making everyone feel eerily cold. Qiongqi, upon seeing Ning Yu, didn’t dare to speak, only projecting a few large characters on the furnace body: "You’re doomed!" Frightened, he quickly rode a Griffin on official duties.

Ning Xiaoxian was also busy, taking Tu Jin and Qi Zai to the next Extremely Yin Land. A month ago, Ning Xiaoxian had sold the intelligence on Fire Worship Valley to Miluo but never conducted a losing business, thus she also asked him to help investigate the locations of the Extremely Yin Lands on the westward route.

Since she didn’t have an intelligence network and usually traveled in the sky, she was unfamiliar with the ground situations and had to rely on this head of intelligence. Miluo’s reply came quickly, first clarifying that he already knew the minor actions of Fire Worship Valley, but still acknowledged Ning Xiaoxian’s favor by sending over the map of the Extremely Yin Lands as promised.

Though the Nan Zhanbu Continent is vast and the Extremely Yin Lands are countless, those located on the western side with large human and beast populations nearby are indeed rare. Over this month, she dug through three Extremely Yin Lands like searching for bird eggs during her childhood, and indeed, one of them also harbored Cold Devouring Fish, the numbers exceeding those in the cave behind Wu Residence’s mountains.

With these hundreds of thousands of Cold Devouring Fish, Tu Jin had essentially gained millions of Soul Power, and now mostly stayed in retreat to cultivate, only emerging when digging for bird eggs—no, when excavating Extremely Yin Lands. The Soul Cultivation Technique was indeed peculiar; if ordinary cultivators suddenly received the full torrent of an Ancient Immortal’s power, those with weaker foundations might burst from the overwhelming influx, a situation known as ’the vessel cannot bear the fill’, but Soul Cultivators didn’t have this problem. As long as he acquired enough Soul Power, he could forcefully ascend his realm like cutting through bamboos.

With the first tank of Cold Devouring Fish, Tu Jin had enough to advance to Great Perfection in the Void Refining Stage; by now, he had broken through the Mahayana Realm bottleneck, directly entering the Early Mahayana Stage! Among the group with Ning Xiaoxian, except for Changtian, he had the highest cultivation. Of course, at this realm, the amount of Life Souls needed is counted in millions, making any further improvement extremely difficult. The hardships of being a Soul Cultivator were starting to show.

This cultivation was entirely backed up by souls, yet he felt not the slightest discomfort from rushing his growth; even Changtian marveled at the heaven-defying nature of the Soul Cultivation Technique. However, Ning Xiaoxian’s mood became heavier, because next, they would have to contend against the founder of this Divine Skill.

This was also the main reason why everyone was earnestly excavating Extremely Yin Lands, to aid Tu Jin. In this world, there were only two Soul Cultivators, and the higher Tu Jin’s cultivation, the greater his influence over Yin Jiu You. Tu Jin understood this well; though he was not good with words, his gaze towards Ning Xiaoxian had grown increasingly gentle, as after all, she had been bustling about for his sake during this time.

The small courtyard in Nantang Town had cost Ning Xiaoxian one hundred and thirty taels of silver, and recalling the skyrocketing real estate prices in Huaxia before her transmigration, she felt that buying property here was extremely worthwhile. She liked the tranquility and comfort of this place, and once suggested to Changtian during the payment, "Perhaps we can consider living here leisurely in the future."

Ning Yu thought of temporarily settling Ali here, as going westward was no holiday trip. Yet, Ning Xiaoxian shook her head: "Bring her along. I don’t mind God Demon Prison serving temporarily as a kindergarten, and Changtian won’t mind acting as the kindergarten director."

Lord Divine Monarch as a kindergarten director? Everyone’s expression turned wonderfully colorful. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

However, Ning Xiaoxian had calculated carefully. Ali was too important; if she were lost in Nantang Town, their arduous efforts to obtain the Nanming Lihuo Sword would be meaningless. Throughout this journey, she had endured much hardship, all for a single purpose: to get Changtian out of the God Demon Prison. To achieve this goal, she was prepared to resort to any means necessary.

During the day of the group’s collective rest, the delicious food she personally prepared made Ali so delighted that she nearly swallowed her own tongue—where in the village could she ever taste such delicious food? Afterwards, Ning Xiaoxian took Ali throughout Nantang Town, enjoying full course meals and entertainment. Ali, bathed clean and dressed in newly bought clothes, looked like a bright-eyed and wonderful little girl; though her skin was still somewhat dull, with enough nutritious food, her skin and hair would soon glow with health.

After changing clothes, Ali secretly asked Ning Xiaoxian: "Will Brother Ning like me in my new clothes?"(To be continued.
