The Arena

Ning spent the rest of the day just roaming around the city. But the novelty of the city had worn off by the 2nd day so he just went back to his hotel and started cultivating. 

He took out a spirit stone and held it in his hand. 'Sigh, I spent nearly all of my gold in the auction today. If I had bid anymore, I would've had to resort to using these Spirit stones to buy the spear,' he thought. 

He could use the spirit stones for speeding up his cultivation, so he really didn't want to use any of it. Fortunately, the auction hadn't come to that. 

So, he started cultivating and used a spirit stone to speed up the Qi gathering process. His Sea of Qi was filling much faster and it wouldn't be long before he could break through to the next realm. 

So, he took it slow and cultivated for the entire night.
