#140 - Uses of Ning Yuke

In the original novel, the golden finger arranged for Xiao Feng was relatively reasonable.

At the start, he gets a divine weapon, the "Mystic Heaven Sword."

Then, there's the divine power "Devouring Demons," which can quickly improve cultivation, along with the "Demon Appraisal Compass" for use with it.

Later comes "Dream Dao" to enhance combat experience.

Now, there's the martial skill "Myriad Blade Attraction" and the spatial tool "Starry Sky Scabbard."

Indeed, the arrangements are comprehensive.

Wei Changtian had actually been eyeing these two treasures since he arrived in Shu Province, but there were two main reasons why he hadn't acted.

First, finding the cave required a large number of people, and he didn't quite trust the Hanging Mirror Division, so he waited for the Co-prosperity Society to arrive before starting to plan.

Second, even if he found the cave, how to get these two treasures out was also a problem.

Since it was a cave left by an ancient sword cultivator, containing great opportunities, it would inevitably be accompanied by great risks.

According to the novel, the cave was filled with extreme, fierce sword intent, and anyone who stepped into it would feel as if they were being sliced into a thousand pieces at all times, causing extreme pain.

Wei Changtian knew himself very well, knowing that he didn't have Xiao Feng's "strong quality" and definitely couldn't endure such pain.

As for how to solve it...

His earliest idea was to find someone he trusted, like Zhang San, to go in and get it for him, but it was estimated that few people besides the "protagonist" could withstand this kind of pain, and it was likely to fail.

If it really didn't work, should he find some medicinal herbs to give himself a "general anesthetic"?

But that wouldn't work either! He wouldn't be able to move after being completely anesthetized, so how could he get anything!

In addition, he had also envisioned a series of methods such as "directly destroying the cave" and "asking a master like Qin Zhengqiu to do it for him," but he denied them all.

Wei Changtian originally thought that he could just wait for Xiao Feng to obtain these two treasures and then buy "discounted versions" from the system.

However, Ning Yu Ke appeared at this time.

Painless physique, wasn't that just perfect?!

The sword intent in the cave would not cause harm to people, but was more like a "nerve" attack.

Since Ning Yu Ke couldn't feel pain, wouldn't that be a direct "immunity"!

This was why Wei Changtian made that deal with Ning Yu Ke.

A Blood Clot Fruit worth 50 points in exchange for a chance to "get 2000 points for free."

Worth it!

"Young Master, I'm ready."

An incense stick later, a Co-prosperity Society man was standing at the entrance of the cave, with a hemp rope tied around his waist, and someone behind him was holding the rope tightly.

"Well, first probe half your body in to feel it, and if there's nothing unusual, go a little further in."

Wei Changtian instructed with a serious expression: "If others see that his reaction is not right, immediately pull him out!"

"Young Master, we understand!"

Everyone echoed, and the man standing at the entrance of the cave took a deep breath at this time, his expression quite solemn but not too panicked.

"Ah!!!"

A painful roar instantly exploded in the forest, scaring the others to quickly pull the rope with force and immediately pull him out.

From going in to coming out, the whole process took at most one breath.

"What does it feel like?"

Looking at the man who had collapsed on the ground and was panting heavily, Wei Changtian frowned and asked.

"Y-Young Master, please forgive me..."

The big man seemed to have recovered at this time, but his tone was still a little trembling: "It... it was so painful, it was as if there were thousands of small knives constantly gouging my flesh..."

"What about now?" Wei Changtian asked again.

"Now I don't feel anything."

"Hmm."

Wei Changtian nodded, giving up the idea of experiencing it himself, and after pondering for a moment, he ordered Zhang San:

"Go notify the other brothers, there's no need to do anything else for now, all come here to watch the cave."

"Take turns day and night, kill any strangers who appear within five miles!"

"Yes! Young Master!"

Zhang San immediately clasped his fists and took the order, and then he heard Wei Changtian continue to say:

"Go to the Prince of Shun's mansion!"

About two hours later.

A black carriage stopped in a small alley not far from the Prince of Shun's mansion, but Wei Changtian was slow to get out of the carriage.

Logically speaking, now that the cave had been found, he should immediately have Ning Yu Ke fulfill her promise.

Although according to the normal progress of the novel, there were still several months before Xiao Feng accidentally entered the cave and obtained the treasure, and it seemed that there was plenty of time.

But what if it was brought forward?

You should know that Chu Xianping's plot line was greatly advanced.

Therefore, in order to prevent Xiao Feng from "intervening," the most correct way was to let Ning Yu Ke enter the cave today, whether successful or not, in short, it could not be delayed.

In fact, Wei Changtian had originally planned to do so, but on the way here, he suddenly thought of a question...

He had only helped Ning Yu Ke remove the scars yesterday, but today he was going to let her take risks... Wasn't that a little too heartless?

The other party had finally recovered her appearance, and if she really died in the cave, wouldn't she have only lived one day of "good days"?

This feeling was like you working hard all your life, finally saving money to buy a house, and then the house was directly collapsed by an earthquake the second day after the house was handed over...

"Young Master, what are we going to do next?" Zhang San, who had been waiting for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask.

"Sigh."

Wei Changtian sighed and said helplessly: "Let's go back."

"Go back to the mansion?"

"Yes."

"Okay, Young Master."

Zhang San did not question what medicine Wei Changtian was selling in his gourd. He was just about to instruct the coachman to drive away, but the next second he turned his head and whispered:

"Young Master, there is a carriage parked at the gate of the Prince's mansion. It seems that Princess Rou An is going out."

"If we drive out now, we will probably be discovered by them, you see..."

"Hmm?"

Wei Changtian was stunned, opened the curtain of the carriage and took a look, and found that it was really Ning Yu Ke.

A plain skirt covered her feet, and a pink silk ribbon was loosely tied around her waist, and the white veil swayed slightly in the wind.

Why is she still wearing a veil?

Is she used to it?

Wei Changtian frowned slightly and ordered Zhang San: "Tell the coachman to let them go first, we will follow behind."

"Yes."

...

Another half an hour passed.

Two carriages turned around in the city for a long time, and Wei Changtian finally followed Ning Yu Ke to his own home!

Good fellow, she came to find him!

Sitting in the carriage, Wei Changtian looked at Ning Yu Ke, who was standing at the gate talking to Yuan'er not far away, and was quite speechless.

Although he didn't know what the two said, Ning Yu Ke's trip was definitely to thank him for what happened yesterday.

If he happened to be at home at this time, it would be okay to meet her.

But since he can avoid it, it's better to have less contact.

Wei Changtian had made up his mind not to show his face, while on the other side, Ning Yu Ke somewhat disappointedly handed something to Yuan'er, and then bent over and got into her carriage, turning her head back every three steps.

"Gurgle gurgle ~"

The setting sun gradually approached the horizon, and the glow spread from the horizon, rendering the clouds on the horizon a fiery red.

The carriage with the "Shun" flag turned its direction and passed by the black carriage parked on the side of the alley.
