The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 160
Chapter 160 Underground Trade Fair (2)
Lei Xingfeng couldn’t help but say, “Holy shit … scary …”
This time, even Feng Ying and Shi Hu admitted that this kind of climate was really not suitable for people to live in. Even if they were wrapped in such a thick leather robe, apart from revealing a pair of eyes, they could still feel the crazy coldness. They had to constantly activate their defenses to expel the coldness from the leather robe. Otherwise, their entire bodies would stiffen very quickly.
With great difficulty, they arrived at the first place to rest. Everyone quickly ate their dry rations, recovered their cultivation, and threw themselves into the storm of snow.
Fortunately, Hammer Head and Wild Axe were leading the way. Otherwise, none of them would have the ability to find the right path in this weather. This was also a special skill of the local natives. No matter how they walked, they would not get lost.
It was a rare safe journey. No one and no animals appeared.
After several days of trekking, the seven of them finally returned to Frost Horizon Castle.
…
When Miao Ling saw Xin Zhaolun and Lei Xingfeng, she began to complain, “It’s so cold … I can’t even go out … It’s too cold …” She hid in a pile of beast hides, revealing her face. Seeing this, Lei Xingfeng kept wanting to laugh, it was too funny.
Xiao Diya sat in front of the heating charcoal fire basin and said, “It’s indeed good to cultivate here. I’m about to advance … It’s just that it’s really too cold here. Even if I wear so much, it’s useless. I heard from Sister Hong that I can’t see anyone outside anymore.”
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “When we came back, we still saw a lot of natives outside. Haha, but most of the outsiders were hiding in their rooms to cultivate.”
“It won’t always be that cold,” Xin Zhaolun said. “The characteristic of this place is that after being extremely cold, it will ease up for a dozen days, and then it will be even colder. It will be slightly warmer for a few more days, so there’s no need to worry. You can still go out and get some air when it’s warm.”
Although the room was much warmer than outside, Miao Ling was still trembling. Only by cultivating hard could she temporarily forget the cold. As a result, her cultivation was improving by leaps and bounds.
Miao Ling said, “Oh right, there’s one more thing … What did Sister Hong say? Someone brought an invitation card and invited her to somewhere … Xiao Diya, go and call Sister Hong over.”
Xiao Diya ran to the door, lifted the curtain, and shouted to the outside, “Sister Hong! Sister Hong … come quickly!”
After shouting a few times, this fellow ran back to the charcoal brazier and continued to roast the fire.
Moments later, Sister Hong walked in and said, “What is it?”
Miao Ling said, “Sister Hong, then, that invitation card …”
Sister Hong smiled and said, “I have the invitation card. Third Master, Ninth Master, this is from Master Mao. The underground trade fair has already begun. Master Mao has sent a few invitations.”
Xin Zhaolun said, “The trade fair, hehe, not bad. I’ve already prepared it. I must go. Junior Sister, you can go with me.”
Miao Ling said, “I don’t want to go out. I’m so cold …”
Xin Zhaolun smiled and said, “Little idiot, the underground trade fair is underground. It’s warm there.”
Miao Ling’s eyes immediately lit up. She said, “Wow, good, good, I’ll go, I want to go … But, how can I go out?” She was really frightened.
Sister Hong smiled and said, “It’s very close. You open the defensive barrier and go over. There’s no need to be afraid of such a small distance. No matter how cold it is, you won’t be afraid.”
Miao Ling also reacted and happily said, “Alright, alright, I’ll drive the defense over. Hehe, is there a place to live in that underground trade fair? I’ll rent it there … Is that okay?”
Xin Zhaolun said, “Cultivating underground is not as effective as cultivating on the ground. Living below is not a good choice.”
Miao Ling’s face immediately turned bitter. She said, “Alright, let’s go warm up and come back.” Cultivation was even more important. She knew this very well in her heart. It was impossible for her to give up cultivation because of the warmth.
Lei Xingfeng also had an invitation. He smiled and said, “Interesting. There are only three invitations in total, but none of the others. How did they know that … the three of us are the main ones here?”
Xin Zhaolun said, “Don’t be surprised. We registered this. We don’t need to register to enter this world, but to enter Hanya Castle, we need to have a record. This is the rule. The main thing is to prevent outsiders from doing anything wrong. In Hanya Castle, there are still some rules.”
Outsiders have Mystery Sect, Most of them lived in secret spaces, Among the most mysterious people, there were also countless disputes between Mystery Sect. There were frequent battles and even wars. However, there was one thing that remained unchanged. True Monarchs would not participate. True Monarchs’ battles were confined to True Monarchs. Of course, this was obvious. In secret, killing low-level cultivators was a very common thing for True Monarchs.
There is a tacit understanding between Mystery Sect, Under normal circumstances, Both of them were wary of each other and would not act blatantly. Unless they had great interests, disputes and battles would only occur. However, if there was a possibility of peaceful settlement, most of them would choose peace talks to calm down possible battles. One had to know that once a battle or war broke out, their losses would cause Mystery Sect to decline. This was something neither side wanted to see.
Xin Zhaolun said, “Let’s go back and rest first. We’ll go to the trade fair tomorrow. A-Feng and Xiao Ling, there are quite a few good things in that place. Haha, but you guys need to prepare your own things. You can barter them there, and you can also buy them with rings and seal rings. Of course, seal rings are even better. However, seal rings rarely appear. That thing is in short supply.”
XinFeng brought Crazy Eagle and Tiger Addict back.
After returning to his room, Crazy Eagle hurriedly cooked a charcoal brazier for him. XinFeng set up a big pot and began to cook chowder. The three of them had a meal.
Feng Ying said, “An invitation card. You can bring two people in. Let’s go together tomorrow.”
XinFeng nodded and said, “Alright, I know that you have obtained quite a lot of materials this time. Are you going to change some sealing rings?”
Feng Ying nodded and said, “The effect of cultivation here is very good. If there are sealing rings, I might be able to advance. The tiger is about the same.”
“That’s right. As long as I have enough seals, I can almost advance. Haha, it’s my dream to be able to take another step forward. The Eight Ring True Body is still a little weak, especially in the Outer World.” Tiger Addict smiled.
XinFeng said, “I have never understood how many worlds can this secret door lead to?”
Crazy Eagle shook his head and said, “I’m not too sure either. However, I know one thing. True Monarch level experts can possess secret doors. Of course, this secret door needs to be refined. Moreover, True Monarch level secret doors can only open three outer worlds. As for how to open it and how to determine the target, it’s not something I can understand.”
XinFeng was extremely yearning, he said, “Holy shit, I must advance to True Monarch!”
Crazy Eagle opened his mouth slightly. After thinking for a while, he closed it. XinFeng could clearly see it. He said, “Uncle Eagle, if you have anything, just say it.”
“I know what he’s trying to say … hehe,” Tiger Addict smiled.
Crazy Eagle said, “Bullshit, do you know what I want to say?”
“Of course, we’ve been together for so many years. I knew what kind of daddy you were going to pull when you pouted your butt, haha.”
Crazy Eagle said angrily, “Fart! Tell me, what was I trying to say just now?”
“Very simple. You have great misgivings about advancing to True Monarch.”
Crazy Eagle immediately let out a sigh of relief. He muttered, “Damn … this guy, do I have such an obvious expression?”
Tiger Addict nodded and said, “That’s right, it’s so obvious.”
Crazy Eagle could only admit it. He said, “Yes, there are too few people who can advance to True Monarch. If A-Feng can advance to True Monarch, I will be happy to death. Ah, difficult, A-Feng, I am not trying to hurt you. Tiger-loving and I hope you will advance the most.”
Lei Xingfeng waved his hand and said, “I understand. Don’t worry, I will definitely advance!” He said confidently. Actually, he didn’t know if he could advance, but he understood that if he didn’t have the confidence, then let alone advance.
…
The underground trade fair in Frost Horizon Castle was quite famous in the secret gates. There were even a few True Monarchs who would sneak in and dig out some rare materials.
Although this world was not suitable for living, it had a large amount of rare materials. This was a very rare and good place. However, just a single climate prevented most people from gathering good things. Only a few elites could gather good things.
Xin Zhaolun brought Xiao Diya, XinFeng brought Crazy Eagle and Tiger Addict, and Miao Ling brought Sister Hong to the underground trade fair.
The address of the trade fair was built in an enormous space underground in Hanya Castle, covering an area of more than 800 square meters. It was neither big nor small, because there weren’t many people qualified to come here, so even if it was more than 800 square meters, it was still relatively spacious.
Most people wandered back and forth in the sparse stalls.
XinFeng said, “This … is the trade fair? Isn’t it too deserted?”
Xin Zhaolun smiled and said, “It’s fine. This is a scattered transaction outside. There will be a small auction later.”
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “What are the conditions for joining the auction house?”
Xin Zhaolun said, “I have to take out some items from the auction or some sealing rings as security.”
XinFeng smiled and said, “We have so many amethyst crystals. Take out a little and auction it. Let me see how valuable this thing is.”
Xin Zhaolun said, “Don’t take large pieces. Use a few small purple crystals to probe the sound of the wind.”
Lei Xingfeng agreed. Before he could speak, someone shouted, “Bullshit! Do you want to steal it?”
Xin Zhaolun whispered, “Back off!”
Boom!
The two of them suddenly made a move and fought head-on. A shockwave spread out, and everyone in the hall immediately activated their defenses to block it.
“Heavens, how dare they attack here … It will collapse!” Miao Ling asked in surprise.
Sister Hong protected her and said, “Retreat! Retreat!”
Feng Ying and Shi Hu protected Lei Xingfeng from the left and right. Xin Zhaolun couldn’t help but curse, “Damn it, it must be a newcomer. If you don’t understand anything, then you dare to make a move. You’re courting death!”
The crowd in the hall quickly dispersed, revealing the two people who had just attacked.
