The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 274
Chapter 274 Surprise of Lei Bao (2)
He whispered, “Grandpa, this is a Holy Crystal. It can increase your chances of advancement by 60%.” He knew that Elder Thunder didn’t use the Seal Ring to cultivate and advance. If he used the Seal Ring to advance, even if he gave it to the Holy Crystal, it would be useless.
Lei Bao obviously didn’t know the role of the Saint Crystal. He whispered, “Saint Crystal? How is it possible to increase the success rate of advancement by 60%?”
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “Apart from Heavenly Crystals and Sacred Crystals, Yaoyao’s sect can also concoct potions and increase the success rate. However, that kind of potion … is too expensive. We can’t afford it. Even if we collect all the materials ourselves, it won’t do. The cost of concocting it is too high.”
Lei Bao was shocked. He didn’t know how Lei Xingfeng had obtained the Holy Crystal. It could be imagined that it had taken a lot of effort. Just by looking at him secretly handing over the Holy Crystal to him like a thief, he knew how rare it was. Only his own relatives would give it to him unconditionally.
“A-Feng, I’ve had a hard time with you these days.”
As Elder Thunder spoke, he gently patted Lei Xingfeng’s shoulder and said, “Feng, Grandpa is old. If you can’t advance, you can only use the Seal Ring to extend your life.”
Lei Xingfeng said anxiously, “Grandpa, don’t rush to use the seal ring. That will drain your potential.” He was well aware of the disadvantages of using sealing rings.
Elder Thunder nodded and said, “I know, I know. Unfortunately, I was injured. Although I recovered later, I used up a portion of my potential. My chances of advancing to Lord are much lower. However, with the Holy Crystal you gave me, I still have at least half the chances of advancing. It’s worth fighting for.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “In my sect, the original eldest senior brother advanced to Lord. After witnessing it with my own eyes, I finally realized how difficult it was to advance to Lord.”
Lei Bao was instantly interested. Even though he was knowledgeable, he had never seen a Nine Ring Daoist advance to Lord. This was a huge threshold. Countless Nine Ring Daoists were blocked. The most terrifying thing was that the best way to advance to Lord was hidden in the secret sect. Cultivators who did not join the secret sect would find it extremely difficult to advance.
“Feng, tell me what this process is like.”
Lei Xingfeng described Feng Chenzong’s advancement in detail.
Lei Bao couldn’t help but ponder, “The Great Seal Stage … the Great Seal Stage … is actually so complicated … I thought it was too simple.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Not only do we need a large sealing platform, we also need a large number of sealing rings … at least 20,000 sealing rings!”
Lei Bao was also frightened. He sucked in a breath of cold air and said, “Hiss … twenty thousand? Twenty thousand seal rings! Isn’t this too exaggerated?”
Lei Xingfeng said, “That’s not enough. We still need a large amount of materials. If the materials are not prepared, we won’t be able to advance. In our sect, Eldest Brother and Second Brother are at the peak of the Nine Rings. In terms of their own conditions, they can already advance. However, they haven’t gathered enough materials and seals.”
Even Mystery Sect, There is also no possibility of providing materials and rings for promotion free of charge, All of them needed disciples to raise their own money. Of course, there was also Mystery Sect who was wealthy. For example, Lei Xing Yao was in Mystery Sect. She probably didn’t need Lei Xing Yao to raise materials for advancement. Once she reached the peak of the Nine Rings Ring, she would have a master to provide everything she needed. However, there were too few Mystery Sect. To enter such a Mystery Sect, she had to possess an extremely impressive talent.
Lei Xingfeng’s Mystery Sect was already pretty good, but even so, it still required the disciples to find it themselves. As for cultivators like Lei Bao, it was even harder to advance than the disciples of the secret sects because they didn’t have any chance of borrowing any strength. They had to rely entirely on their own efforts.
Lei Bao smiled bitterly and said, “I have missed the opportunity to join Mystery Sect. No one will accept an old man. Even if Mystery Sect accepts me, he will not be a direct disciple. He can only be a bodyguard retainer. It is meaningless. I have not yet reached the point of waiting for death.”
Lei Xingfeng said confidently, “Grandpa, you still have me. Don’t worry, Yao Yao and I will be able to gather all the things you need to advance. You don’t know that Yao Yao is a millionaire now. Her sect is really too powerful. Although she is both women, she is stronger than our Mystery Sect.”
Lei Bao said, “How could Mystery Sect, who can make high-grade potions, be inferior? A single high-grade potion is worth as much as all the property of a little Mystery Sect.”
‘”Yes, I didn’t know that potions were so expensive,” said Lei Xingfeng.
Lei Bao said, “With Yaoyao here, there shouldn’t be any worries about using potions in the future, hehe.”
Lei Xingfeng took out two potions and said, “Grandpa, this is a Soul Settling Potion. It is the best for healing injuries.”
“Good stuff, haha,” said Lei Bao happily. He wouldn’t be courteous to Lei Xingfeng. He put away two potions and said, “This kind of potion can be used to save lives. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find such a potion back then. If I had it, I wouldn’t have been hiding in Huya Castle for so many years.”
Back then, Lei Bao had completely lost confidence and focused on nurturing Huya Castle and Lei Xingfeng Yao siblings in Lei Xing. He did not even plan to leave Huya Castle alive. He did not expect that through natural lightning, he would be able to completely recover. He had also obtained a tremendous improvement, reaching a height that he had never reached before.
In order to fight Stano, Lei Bao had really risked his life. However, seeing Lei Xingfeng’s current achievements, his anger had dissipated. He began to consider his own cultivation. If he could take a step further, then he felt that he would have a long time to live.
Of course, Lei Xingfeng attached great importance to the matter of life and death. He did not want to lose Grandpa. He said, “When we have gathered enough materials and sealing rings for advancement, I will ask Grandpa’s help to open the Grand Sealing Platform and let Grandpa advance.”
Lei Bao shook his head and said, “As long as I find enough materials and sealing rings for advancement, I’ll think of a way myself. I don’t want to trouble your sect. This will be bad for your advancement in the future.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Grandpa, don’t worry. Grandpa and Master treat me well. They will agree to it.”
Lei Bao said, “There’s no need to be anxious about this. We’ll talk about it later. Gathering materials and gathering sealing rings is not an easy task.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “It doesn’t matter. I have Master, Martial Uncle, and Grandmaster. They will help me open the secret door and go to the outside world to find materials.”
Lei Bao stopped and said, “Yeah, Feng, you’ve grown up and have a teacher and friends. You’re no longer the child who’s worried about food, hehe.” He felt a little sour in his heart and said, “I believe you will go farther than Grandpa.”
When the two of them returned to the wooden house, the team grew again. This time, there was a small team of about seven people. Five of them were Nine Ring Experts, and the leader was a six-ring true body woman named Hu Yamei. She was Mystery Sect’s direct descendant, and the rest were cultivators who had come to help.
This troop instantly exceeded twenty people, so attacking a medium-sized tribe wasn’t a problem at all.
Most of the people who came to the Black Waters to search for the Black Spirit Fruit were women, and they were the main force in the Black Waters.
There were plenty of people and news. In the end, the seven of them had already targeted a medium-sized tribe. However, their strength was not enough. Hu Yamei’s head guard said, “We have already chosen our target, but our strength is not enough. Now that we have so many people, we can rob the Black Spirit Fruit planted by this tribe.”
“How many Black Fishmen are there in the medium-sized tribes?” Yu Kou said happily.
Hu Yamei’s head guard said, “At most, there should not be more than 50,000. According to our estimate, there should be more than 40,000 Black Fishermen. Their cultivation waters are not small. There should be more than 3,000 acres of Black Spirit Fruits on the surface of the water. Almost 1,000 acres are about to mature.”
Hu Yamei is a very shy person, Basically, she didn’t say anything. She sat silently in the middle of her subordinates. She was the head of her guards. An old lady with a nine-ringed true body called this old lady sister-in-law Hu. However, to Lei Xingfeng and the others, this old lady was more like Grandma Hu. Her face was full of wrinkles, her hair was completely white, and she was holding a walking stick in her hand.
However, no one underestimated Sister-in-law Hu, because she possessed the peak cultivation of the Nine Rings. Even if she was born from the Seal Ring, her strength was still quite formidable.
This kind of strength was not inferior to the direct descendants of Mystery Sect. Even if their potential was exhausted, their combat strength was still quite extraordinary. Especially after they advanced to the Nine Rings, they basically had no way to advance. Instead, they had time and energy to explore everywhere. When they went to battle, their combat strength would often be even more formidable.
Qi Mei Yun said, “More than a thousand acres … This is enough for us to rob. Even if they start to destroy the Black Spirit Fruits, they won’t have time to destroy them all. As long as we are quick, we can collect enough Black Spirit Fruits.”
This was the season for the Black Fishman to mature and harvest the Black Spirit Fruit, The Black Spirit Fruit was gradually ripening. It was also the time when most outsiders came. After this season, very few outsiders would enter. Without the temptation of the Black Spirit Fruit, no one would come here. Actually, the resources in this outer world were rather poor. As long as anyone entered, they would look for the Black Spirit Fruit. A very small portion of them were looking for Fishman Wine, but Fishman Wine was even more rare.
Sister-in-law Hu continued, “during this period of time, is the most irritable and nervous, There was a slight movement, “They will start fighting. Once they discover that they are invincible, they will mobilize the entire tribe to destroy the ripe Black Spirit Fruit paddy field. If we want to obtain satisfactory Black Spirit Fruits, we must have a plan to fight and harvest them. In the end, those who harvest the Black Spirit Fruits must distribute them according to the size of the division of labor.”
Lei Xingfeng agreed with this point. If they were to fight, perhaps not even a single Black Spirit Fruit could be harvested, and those who specialized in harvesting might be able to harvest thousands of Black Spirit Fruits. This difference was extremely large.
“I have no objections,” said Yu Kou straightforwardly.
Xin Zhaolun, Qi Meiyun, and Lei Xingfeng nodded in agreement. Everyone’s gazes fell on Wei Lin and Ming You. As for Qin Rong, they naturally ignored her.
