The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 159
Chapter 159 Underground Fair (1)
Shi Hu was standing beside Lei Xingfeng. A lava ball was picked up. He hurriedly took a few steps back and said, “Be careful.”
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “I know, hehe, don’t worry, there’s something in this magma!”
“How do you know?” Tiger Addict asked curiously.
Lei Xingfeng smiled as he took out a basin of water and poured it on the fiery red magma. With a puchi sound, water vapor rose. Shi Hu could already clearly sense a wisp of purple light. He said, “Eh, there really is something!”
Only after the magma had cooled down slightly did XinFeng break it.
This time, the harvest was huge. An amethyst the size of an apricot appeared. Lei Xingfeng said, “That’s right, this is the biggest amethyst I’ve found. Let’s continue!” Previously, although he had found the Purple Crystal, he had only used it as a material like Jade Tooth Silk, so he had already found a few pieces of it. Now that he knew that even Lord had a need for it, he planned to get more.
Tiger Addict was still puzzled. He had already picked out at least seven or eight lava balls, and he hadn’t even found the shadow of an amethyst. He was confident that his vision wasn’t any worse than XinFeng’s, but seeing XinFeng provoking three lava balls, at least two of which contained amethyst, he had no choice but to admit defeat.
Lei Xingfeng stared fixedly at the magma flow. Actually, he could see a lot of purple light coming out, but it was too far away from him. Moreover, he could not fly. He could not pick up the purple light that was floating over to the shore.
Lei Xingfeng felt heartache as he watched the amethyst drift along the magma stream. This was a treasure that could be traded with Lord. It was a pity that it disappeared in front of him. He rolled his eyes and saw Shi Hu holding a steel spear and stirring it around in the magma stream. He immediately came up with a way. “Uncle Tiger, I’ll command it. You stir up the magma,” he said.
Shi Hu said, “Alright.” He also felt impatient. Anyone who came would be impatient, and he would not get anything, so he would naturally feel unhappy in his heart.
Lei Xingfeng said, “You fly above the magma. Be careful. I’ll throw stones. As long as the stones fall, you’ll pick up the magma. You’ll have to pick it up from the bottom. Well, you’ll know after testing it.”
Shi Hu smiled and nodded. This method was good. As long as he obeyed the order, it would be fine. As for whether there was an amethyst or not, it had nothing to do with him.
Lei Xingfeng had already looked at a piece of magma in the distance. It was close to the other side. It was about the size of a few palms. The purple light emitted from there was quite strong. He tossed out a piece of cooled magma the size of a walnut and said, “Uncle Tiger … pick!”
Tiger Addict had been staring at XinFeng’s hand. When he threw out the stone, he immediately stared at the stone. Seeing where it landed, the spear in his hand pierced into the magma flow. He suddenly raised it and a large ball of magma flew towards XinFeng.
XinFeng took a few steps back, and the lava immediately landed beneath his feet.
“Haha, two purple crystals, top-grade purple crystals, haha …”
They all had purple crystals the size of apricots. This was definitely top quality.
Tiger Addict was also excited. He said, “Again! Haha!”
With the tacit understanding, XinFeng picked out wherever XinFeng pointed, and XinFeng wasn’t in a hurry to cool the magma. After picking up more than ten lumps of magma, he watered it and collected the amethyst crystals.
Xin Zhaolun’s harvest on the other side was small. He couldn’t see any purple light either, but he had a trick. He specifically picked out different parts of the magma flow, such as darkness or brightness. In this way, a blind cat would be able to run into a dead mouse and obtain a few purple crystals.
By this time, Lei Xingfeng understood that his eyes were different. He could see light that no one else could see, especially when he was digging for minerals.
In three days, Lei Xingfeng had obtained more than 300 top-grade amethyst crystals. As for the almost perfect amethyst crystals, Lei Xingfeng had mostly given them away, especially the hundred finger-sized amethyst crystals to Xin Zhaolun. Xin Zhaolun was almost overjoyed. He kept saying that it was fortunate that he had brought Lei Xingfeng here, otherwise he wouldn’t have obtained such a big harvest.
As for Jin Daya, Lei Xingfeng took out quite a few amethyst crystals that he didn’t like and asked them to exchange them for other ores. Jin Daya was very happy to take out a lot of newly excavated ores, as well as some rare ores that he had previously obtained. Lei Xingfeng had only paid a few dozen small amethyst crystals to obtain a lot of ores, and even refined materials.
Hammer and Wild Axe also dug a lot of ores. Apart from Xin Zhaolun, they also exchanged a lot of items with Lei Xingfeng and Jin Daya. Most of them were food. The two of them were very interested in Lei Xingfeng’s bacon and marinated meat. This time, Lei Xingfeng took advantage of the exchange. He had gathered a lot of food in Lunzang Space, which was enough for him to eat alone for ten years.
Of course, Hammer Head and Wild Axe had to be traded. They couldn’t take these ores with them because they didn’t have Lunzang Space. Even if they traded, they would still leave the items with Lei Xingfeng. They would have to wait until they returned to Hanya Castle before they could get the food.
On this day, XinFeng was still at the edge of the magma stream, directing the Tiger Devourer to retrieve the purple crystals, and Xin Zhaolun walked over.
He said, “Feng, we’re ready to go. Heavens, how many amethyst crystals do you need?”
Lei Xingfeng chuckled and said, “This thing … can be exchanged with grandmaster. Uncle Tiger and Uncle Eagle both lack sealing rings. I want to save more. I want to exchange sealing rings with grandmaster. I also want to save some sealing rings myself.” Using the seal ring to nurture their subordinates was a necessary method for their secret sect. Otherwise, if they didn’t have powerful subordinates in the outer world, how could they obtain resources?
Xin Zhaolun nodded and said, “You finally understand what’s important. Haha, with this batch of purple crystals, you can exchange for a lot of seal rings. Even if Master and Ancestor can’t use them, they can still trade with other Lord. Well, we’ll leave tomorrow. Today, you can fish as much as you like.” Actually, he was also very depressed. No matter how hard he tried, the purple crystals he found were inferior to Lei Xingfeng’s fraction. He was so angry that he went to dig for other ores in the end.
Fortunately, XinFeng had given him quite a few amethyst crystals. This was the mutual help between his fellow disciples. After all, XinFeng couldn’t have come here without Xin Zhaolun’s help. One had to know that Xin Zhaolun had obtained this mine. Without his consent, XinFeng wouldn’t have been able to come at all.
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “If I can come back in the future … I won’t have to work so hard to get it.”
Xin Zhaolun said, “With the Purple Crystal … we can still come. We can use the Purple Crystal to exchange for the opportunity. I’m really lucky to bring you here this time. I thought it was just this one chance. Haha, I didn’t expect to find so many Purple Crystals.”
Lei Xingfeng was a little puzzled, “Why don’t you let Master come? He should be able to obtain more purple crystals.”
Xin Zhaolun smiled bitterly and said, “Neither Master nor Ancestor wants to come in.”
XinFeng was puzzled, “Why?”
Xin Zhaolun said, “Because … suppress. When Master comes in here, his strength will be about the same as mine. This means danger. They are unwilling to take such a risk. It is enough for a disciple to go. Therefore … the peak combat strength here is the Nine Rings True Body’s true person.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Will all the outer worlds suppress their cultivation?”
Xin Zhaolun said, “No, some of the outer worlds will increase their cultivation. There are differences, right? Also … the outer worlds can’t stay for long. For a few years, it can be as short as ten days. You have to return to Mystery Sect. Otherwise, it will be very harmful to your body.”
Lei Xingfeng was surprised, “Well … there’s such a problem. Alright, I know.” He still lacked a lot of knowledge and experience, but because of this, he knew that if he advanced to the Nine Ring True Body, in this outer world, as long as he wasn’t surrounded by a large number of experts of the same level, there wouldn’t be any danger.
Xin Zhaolun said, “Once again, I’m going to an outer world. Haha, that damn place, even my cultivation is suppressed. The most suitable place is the Eight Ring True Body. Haha, there are a few places where you can go after advancing to the Sixth Ring. There are often more powerful wild beasts there.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Beasts? Do you mean to go hunting?”
Xin Zhaolun nodded and said, “Yes, it’s hunting. It’s because the beasts there … their meat is usually of the highest quality. Not only is it delicious, it’s also good for the body. Apart from that, they can also cultivate their own combat experience and awareness, hunting and harvesting, and fighting. Counting them in one go, many people from Mystery Sect will go.”
Lei Xingfeng was busy until he was about to leave. After tidying up, he arrived at the place where everyone was gathered.
Xin Zhaolun said, “Let’s go back as soon as possible. The weather is getting really cold. We’d better return to Frozen Horizon Castle before then.”
XinFeng said, “It’s too hot here. We’ll wear thick clothes when we get to the exit.” He is wearing a pair of thin trousers and a single shirt now.
…
“Cold!”
It was the first time that Lei Xingfeng felt a real chill outside. Even though he was already wrapped like a big package, the cold wind directly penetrated into him. The bone-piercing cold made his leather robe even harder.
Lei Xingfeng was forced to continuously use electric arcs to flash around his body. Other than the hammer and the Wild Axe, everyone else’s body was flickering with a faint glow. If it wasn’t for this, they would have frozen stiff in the bitter cold very quickly.
Hammer head and Wild Axe’s faces also showed a cautious expression. Even if they were native, they still had a certain fear of this cold. Hammer head said, “We must hurry up and not stop. We can’t move as much as possible, otherwise it would be very easy to freeze!” As he spoke, he kept shaking.
Xin Zhaolun said, “Let’s go!”
A rope tied the seven of them together, and the seven of them quickly walked in the direction of Frost Horizon Castle.
The wind is getting stronger.
The roaring wind even let out a sharp and ear-piercing howl, piercing people’s eardrums. XinFeng couldn’t help but curse, “This is truly a killing intent!” Even if his gaze was extremely good, he couldn’t clearly see ten meters ahead.
XinFeng was still holding a steel shield in his hand, resisting the oncoming wind. This way, he could slightly relieve the bone-chilling cold.
The snowflakes struck the shield, producing a metallic collision sound, and the sound was endless.
