The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 165
Chapter 165 Nine Apertures (1)
To be able to accept Jin Daya as a bodyguard was a pleasant surprise for Lei Xingfeng. Such a great expert was difficult to obtain even within Mystery Sect. In the beginning, only two of his bodyguards had reached the Eight Ring True Body, and the cultivation of the others was much lower. This required him to slowly nurture them.
Back then, Miao Ling’s bodyguard was Sister Hong, who was also an Eight Ring True Body. Later on, he relied on the seal rings that Miao Ling obtained to advance to Nine Rings. Therefore, as long as they were Nine Ring True Bodies, most of the bodyguards of these secret sect disciples were nurtured by them. With the help of the sect, they could nurture Nine Ring Experts with a certain number of Seal Rings.
Hammer and Wild Axe also rushed into the room. The two of them were also shivering coldly. Their eyes lit up when they saw the big copper pot stewed on the charcoal fire basin.
“Eat … haha, yes, there’s something delicious … get … get …”
The hammer stuttered as it spoke, and its teeth kept moving up and down. XinFeng asked curiously, “Hammer, are you going to be so cold?”
Wild Axe said, “Nonsense, although we are not afraid of the cold compared to you, we will still tremble coldly …”
The hammer said, “Right, that’s right … Quick, give me a basin … Have some thick soup first, it’s too, too cold!”
Lei Xingfeng took out two big bowls and directly picked up the big copper pot. He poured two bowls of vegetables and soup and said, “Have some first …”
The two of them hugged the big bowl and the boiling hot soup instantly calmed them down. The two of them buried their heads in their stomachs and ate.
After a while, the hammer head said, “The shelf is already set up. As long as you pour water on it, it will be fine.”
Wild Axe said, “There are already a lot of ice in the frame. As long as you pour water on it, it will freeze.”
Lei Xingfeng knew that it was easy to build a house here. He set up a metal frame and added ice fragments inside. As long as he poured water on it, it would immediately freeze and fill all the cracks. After a slight repair, he would get a wall. This was a unique method of building a house here.
When the hammer and the axe were finished, Xin Zhaolun said, “Alright, let’s go water it. This requires some skill. Well, everyone should have collected a lot of water in Lunzang Space, right?”
Lei Xingfeng must have collected a lot of water. He had always understood one thing. There seemed to be a lot of water everywhere, but once there was a shortage of water, it would definitely be a fatal thing. Therefore, he had always kept a large amount of clean water in Lunzang Space.
This was the common sense of cultivators. Any cultivator, especially those at the True Human level, would store a large amount of water in the Lunzang Space.
XinFeng said, “Yes, I have a lot of water.”
Xin Zhaolun nodded and said, “Let’s go out and directly transfer the clear water from the Lun Tsang space to complete the corridor outside.”
XinFeng began to put on a thick fur coat and wrapped his entire body around him. He was not stupid. He could tell how cold it was outside just by seeing the hammer head and Wild Axe trembling from the cold.
Xin Zhaolun said, “It feels too cold. Let’s go back to the room and warm up. There’s no need to force it. We’ll take turns to go out. There’s no need to go together. I’ll go first, then Big Fang, Old Eagle, Tiger. You guys will follow. Afeng will come last. At that time, it should be almost done. You just need to fix it.”
Everyone agreed, and Xin Zhaolun walked out of the room.
About twenty minutes later, Xin Zhaolun came back trembling. Jin Daya went out. He held on much shorter than Xin Zhaolun. He came back in ten minutes. Then came Crazy Hawk and Tiger Addict. When Tiger Addict came back, he said, “It’s basically finished. Haha, and I’ve almost fixed the loophole. Feng can go check it out.”
Xin Zhaolun said, “I’ve recovered. I’ll accompany A Feng to take a look.”
Hammerhead and Wild Axe followed suit.
XinFeng stepped out of the door and saw an ice wall in front of him. This was an aisle that was about two meters wide. It was sealed with ice walls and built a circle along the house, connecting all the rooms together. Because it was basically sealed, there was no wind in the corridor. As long as there was no wind, it wouldn’t be too cold.
XinFeng only needed to find a place where there was a leak of air and water to completely seal it. This kind of work was very easy. After going back and forth a few times, he completely repaired the corridor. Through the ice wall, he could see the wild storm snow outside. The snow on the ground could not be collected and stored. Before it landed, it was swept back into the sky by the gale.
The corridor was not open, which meant that the buildings were closed.
Xin Zhaolun even went to Miao Ling’s room to tell her that he knew.
Lei Xingfeng also walked into Miao Ling’s room. He could not help but be delighted after just a glance.
There were four charcoal fire basins, and Miao Ling sat in the middle. Within a large pile of fur, she revealed a small head and a big leather hat. Even so, she was still trembling non-stop. Seeing Xin Zhaolun and Lei Xingfeng enter, she said, “Cold … Senior Brother, how cold …”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Eighth Senior Sister, there’s a corridor outside. It shouldn’t be too cold.”
Miao Ling said, “It’s still cold … I regret it to death, so I shouldn’t have come over …”
Xin Zhaolun said, “It’s good to endure this short period of time. Frost Horizon Castle is the coldest in this period of time. It’ll be much better after that.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “With this corridor, the room will be much warmer. Even on the coldest days, we will probably be able to endure it. If we really can’t, then send Eighth Senior Sister underground.”
Xin Zhaolun said, “The location underground has long been decided. Before we come … there’s no way we can get an empty seat there.”
Miao Ling said, “Sister Hong will come over later. She will help me build a fire and burn two pots of charcoal.”
Xin Zhaolun said, “Don’t block the ventilation. You’re burning too much charcoal.”
Miao Ling said, “Sister Hong added two more ventilation flue afterwards. There shouldn’t be any problem.”
Xin Zhaolun said, “After Sister Hong arrives, let Sister Hong accompany you for this period of time. Also, if there is any danger, move your room immediately. After the corridor is built, you don’t have to worry about coming to our room. Don’t force yourself.” He is Senior Brother. With Junior Sister and Junior Brother, he has the responsibility to let the two of them return safely.
Miao Ling said, “I know. Senior Brother, don’t worry. I will always stay with Sister Hong.”
Xin Zhaolun stood up and said, “That’s good. In addition, we will gather together and spend the cold days together. Those are the most dangerous days, but they are also the best time to cultivate.”
Bring Lei Xingfeng back, Xin Zhaolun said, “Feng, although you can’t go out during this period of time and it’s still cold to the point of death, this period of time … can be said to be a golden period of time, because this is the best time to cultivate. This is also the reason why so many high-level cultivators refuse to leave. You need to hurry up and cultivate to the Sixth Ring. Well, with your aptitude, there shouldn’t be any problem.”
Lei Xingfeng came to the charcoal fire basin and sat down. He sighed and said, “Senior Brother, I’ve been cultivating these past few days. I feel that it is indeed faster than usual, but … I can’t advance yet. It’s not that I can’t advance, it’s that I can’t advance.”
Xin Zhaolun asked curiously, “Why?”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Do you remember the Star Python Record I obtained at the auction? It’s an ancient cultivator. The method of condensing Lei Yin is very mysterious and requires a lot of materials. I haven’t found a few of them yet. The most troublesome thing is that there are three kinds of materials. I don’t even know what they are.”
Xin Zhaolun said, “Is there such a thing? Well, in that case, the power of this Lei Yin is different?” He reacted very quickly and immediately understood why Lei Xingfeng refused to advance immediately.
XinFeng nodded his head and said, “Yes, if I advance normally, as long as I persist in advancing, I will be able to return from the last auction. However, I will forcefully suppress it. If I advance now, it will be a huge loss to me.”
Xin Zhaolun said, “What materials do you lack?”
Lei Xingfeng drew up a list and handed it to Xin Zhaolun, “Senior Brother, take a look.” He looked at Xin Zhaolun with anticipation. If he could help him solve the problem, it would save him a lot of time and effort.
Xin Zhaolun took the list and looked at it. There were only eight ingredients in total. After reading it, he smiled and said, “I have both of them! Two of them are too precious, and even I don’t have much in stock. Well, how much do you want for these two?”
XinFeng glanced at the two materials marked by Xin Zhaolun and heaved a sigh of relief, “Not much, each one won’t exceed two kilograms … Well, this one and a half kilograms is enough.”
Xin Zhaolun said, “Alright, I’ll give it to you first. However, you have to think of a way to find it for me in the future.” He knew that Lei Xingfeng was in a hurry to use it, so he could take it out temporarily. After all, the materials that he could only use after advancing were useless even if he kept them in his hands. It would be better for Lei Xingfeng to use them in an emergency.
Lei Xingfeng was overjoyed and said, “Thank you, Senior Brother!” I owe you a huge debt of gratitude.
Xin Zhaolun carefully took out eight kinds of materials and handed them to XinFeng as much as XinFeng needed.
Lei Xingfeng did not expect Xin Zhaolun to store so many materials. He asked curiously, “Senior Brother, how many materials did you collect?”
Xin Zhaolun smiled. “I spent more than 30 years collecting materials, There are no thousand, There are eight or nine hundred of them, “Feng, when we were in Daoist Realm, we didn’t need too many materials. But once we advanced to Lord, the consumption of materials would be frightening. You’re only just starting now and don’t have a sect mission yet. When you reach the seventh and eighth rings, Master will have the task of collecting materials for you. At that time, you can use this opportunity to store materials yourself.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Master will give the order to collect the materials?”
Xin Zhaolun smiled and said, “Feng, Master is not obliged to keep giving, and there is no return. He has accepted you as his disciple. When you grow to a certain level, you will have to return the favor to Master. This is beneficial to both sides.”
XinFeng said, “With Master’s formidable level, you still can’t gather enough materials?”
