The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 82
Chapter 82 Water Village Financial Owner (2)
Zhong Geng’s eldest disciple, Wu Zhen, said, A Hundred Lun Master was almost promoted to Thousand Lun Master. He was Zhong Geng’s most proud disciple. Today, he was only 28 years old, and he was expected to break through to Thousand Lun Master at the age of 30. Having reached Thousand Lun Master at this age meant that he was very likely to step into the Milun Master realm in this lifetime. A Milun Master would definitely be able to dominate in a remote place.
Wu Zhen and his master had a discussion in the middle of the night yesterday. The only conclusion, It’s trying to get on well with each other, With a young man like XinFeng, as long as he wasn’t angered, he shouldn’t be disadvantageous to them. Furthermore, he was the one who reassured them the most. Such a talented person definitely wouldn’t stay in this place for long. This place should only be his temporary residence. In other words, it was impossible for him to threaten their local influence.
Therefore, Wu Zhen came to invite him early in the morning.
Lei Xingfeng did not refuse. Instead, he brought Zhou Xin with him. As for Uncle Zhou Tong, he was not willing to go. It was really difficult for an honest person to socialize with others.
The reason he brought Zhou Xin with him was because Lei Xingfeng had his own thoughts. He knew that he could not stay here for long and let Zhou Xin know Zhong Geng. This kind of strong local snake was good for Zhou Xin’s future development.
Back to the market along the pier.
The water market in the early morning was extremely beautiful. A faint mist, a few water birds leisurely flew past, and the sound of water was soft. Therefore, the houses seemed to float on the surface of the water. Many people had already started to set up stalls on the wooden streets. There were all kinds of food stalls. The wooden streets were waterways, and small boats paddled past them. After entering the market, noisy sounds rang out.
Wu Zhen smiled and said, “This market is the liveliest place on the surface of the water nearby. There are very few people living together in other places. When the rainy season comes, there will be even more people.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Rain season?”
Wu Zhen said, “Well, the rainy season is not suitable for fishing in the distance. Fishermen will gather here, especially during the two heaviest months of the rain. At that time, almost all the fishermen outside will come back to hide from the storm.”
Lei Xingfeng does not know much about the local climate, He used to live in the mountains. There were warm and cold seasons. It was different from here. There were two seasons, but it was rainy and dry. In the dry season, there would be a large amount of land. In the rainy season, this place was full of water. The land that had been exposed would be submerged again, forming a large swamp lake. Therefore, the locals were all fishermen, and there were no land dwellers.
Along the way, the three of them quickly arrived at the residential area behind the bazaar, a patch of wooden houses on the water.
Wu Zhen whistled and a small boat rode over. A sturdy fisherman said, “Eldest Young Master.” After greeting him, he stopped the boat and waited for the three of them to board.
The three of them got on the boat and sat down. The fisherman said, “Sit down.” As he spoke, he forcefully propped up the bamboo pole and pushed the boat forward. Only then did he operate his oars and row along the waterway.
In a short moment, they arrived at an independent water courtyard. There was a very large wooden platform. Zhou Xin shouted, “Brother Lei, look! That alligator fish is on it!”
On the platform, a huge crocodile dragon fish was divided into several parts. Its skin was also split apart. A huge fish head was standing on the platform. The teeth in its mouth were revealed. Each one was the size of a palm, emitting a faint white light, just like jade.
Zhou Xin was really curious. After he got on the platform, he ran over to take a look. Wu Zhen immediately instructed people to follow him in case someone dashed into the child. He now knew that Lei Xingfeng treated Zhou Xin differently. He asked people to follow Zhou Xin. He personally accompanied Lei Xingfeng into the room.
Lei Xingfeng noticed that the rooms were very well built, It was completely different from the houses in the market. The houses in the market were rough and simple. It was enough to satisfy living and living conditions. The houses here were much more exquisite. There were carved windows and doors. The roof was also covered with glass tiles. The roof was the same on the ridge. A series of wind chimes hung from the high eaves, and they let out crisp sounds along with the breeze.
On a pillar made of enormous logs, carved with all kinds of water beasts, The wooden planks on the ground were extremely thick, If one stepped on it, one would know that this was completely different from the wooden planks on the streets of the market. If one stepped on the wooden planks on the streets of the market, there would be a creaking sound. There was no sound here at all. One could imagine how many materials were used below. One could tell that this was the method of a wealthy person. With Zhong Geng’s strength, he was definitely a wealthy person in a small place.
There were carvings, exquisite carpets, light veils fluttering about. In the corners of the corridor, there were all kinds of green plants and flowers. Many ordinary servants immediately greeted Wu Zhen and called him the eldest young master.
XinFeng couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. He was a Milun Master and had never received such treatment. Before he cultivated, he had to worry about three meals. After cultivating, he continuously fought and experienced many more battles than this young master. However, when it came to the quality of his life, he couldn’t compare to Wu Zhen no matter what.
The largest house is in the middle of the courtyard, After a few corridors, Arriving at the central house, It was a big house with four sides open. Because the climate here was warm, whether it was the rainy season or the dry season, the climate was very warm. Therefore, many rich people’s rooms were hollowed out on all sides. Only light veils were used to cover the mosquito infestation. This room was over three hundred square meters long, and there were only a dozen or so huge pillars supporting it. There were a large number of green plants placed around it.
Lei Xingfeng couldn’t help but praise, “Nice building.” He was also a knowledgeable person. Although this building was exceptionally exquisite, his expression was also very calm.
Wu Zhen secretly nodded his head. Only knowledgeable people would have such an expression. He had seen many local wealthy people enter this place, all of them dumbfounded. Zhong Geng welcomed them out. He smiled and said, “Welcome, hehe, it’s a bit crude.” He said politely.
XinFeng said, “It’s already pretty good.”
Behind Zhong Geng was Han Xiaobao. As for Tian Dabing, he didn’t show up at all. Yesterday, Tian Dabing’s performance made him very disappointed. If it wasn’t for the fact that the Tian Clan still had a large influence in the region, he would have driven this fellow away immediately. This would have caused trouble for his master.
The four of them sat down and a servant brought breakfast. Lei Xingfeng said, “Bring one for my little brother.”
Zhong Geng instructed. Immediately, a servant went to the platform to serve Zhou Xin breakfast.
Breakfast was very sumptuous. There was rice, porridge, all kinds of fried fish, and a lot of pickled vegetables. Lei Xingfeng didn’t know much about them. They were all local specialties. The taste was quite good. He was very satisfied with the meal.
After breakfast, Zhong Geng began to probe Lei Xingfeng. He wanted to know which sect Lei Xingfeng belonged to and why he came to this remote place.
Of course, Lei Xingfeng would not tell the truth. He simply said that it was the sect’s request. He came here to train for a period of time with no special purpose.
Although Zhong Geng was doubtful, he was relieved. He could tell that XinFeng did not have any malicious intentions. Disciples’ training was the behavior of every sect. Any sect disciple would go out to train. For various reasons and strange training, he did not doubt this at all.
Han Xiaobao did not say anything. She looked at Lei Xingfeng curiously. She really couldn’t figure it out. A person of such a young age actually cultivated even more than her master. Milun Master, that was an extremely powerful existence. She had only seen a Milun Master until now. She was at least 70 or 80 years old. She was truly arrogant. She didn’t expect a youth to be able to cultivate to Milun Master. She really didn’t know how this person cultivated.
Zhong Geng said, “Brother Lei, since you’ve come here to train, you can stay with me in the future. It’s more comfortable than living on a boat.”
Lei Xingfeng refused. He didn’t want to live here. It was inconvenient for him to cultivate. He said, “There’s no need for that. I’m still living on the boat. However, there’s one thing I have to trouble Mr. Zhong with.”
Zhong Geng said, “Please tell me, as long as I can help, there will definitely be no problem.”
“I need a boat,” said Lei Xingfeng. “Well, I can pay for it.” He considered that if the rainy season came, he would need to go out to cultivate. Thunderstorm was the golden season for him to cultivate. He needed to quickly improve his strength here, so he had to go out alone. It was impossible for him to trouble Uncle Zhou any longer. Moreover, it was very dangerous to go out on rainy days. Especially Thunderstorm. Uncle Zhou was an ordinary person, so he could not withstand the lightning.
Zhong Geng said in surprise, “I want to buy a boat … Uh, no problem. I have one here. I’ll give you one directly. Hmm, do you want a servant?”
XinFeng said, “There’s no need to send them. I’ll buy them. There’s no servants.”
Zhong Geng smiled and said, “It’s just a small boat. You really don’t need to buy it. Haha, the boat isn’t worth much here.”
Lei Xingfeng thought about it for a moment, but it didn’t matter. To him, a small boat was nothing. He wasn’t an ordinary person. He nodded and said, “Alright, thanks then.” A word of thanks was still necessary.
Zhong Geng immediately smiled. He was very satisfied with Lei Xingfeng’s attitude. He immediately instructed his subordinates to prepare a good boat.
And communicated with Zhong Geng, Lei Xingfeng got a lot of information, This was something he couldn’t get from Uncle Zhou, This place was indeed very remote. It was an inconspicuous corner of the Myriad Lakes Continent. I heard that it would take half a year to reach the Barbarian Gathering Continent. That was where Lei Xingfeng came from. And this place was at least ten years away from the center of the Myriad Lakes Continent. Of course, if a cultivator used the Ancient Wheel Passage, it wouldn’t take long.
Compared to the Savage Gathering Continent, Wanhu Continent was much more lively, Not only were there many people in the city, there were also many cultivation sects. Even in remote places, there were many cultivators. However, this world was too big, and it was truly sparsely populated. In a small place, even if there were cultivators, there wouldn’t be many people. Moreover, the level was relatively low. A 10,000-Lun Master or even a 10,000-Lun Master was enough to control a place.
Many cultivators who had no chance of advancing would eventually choose to return to their hometowns to develop, or find a remote place to be a local tycoon and dominate a place, enough to develop a small clan.
Zhong Geng said, “Brother Lei, are you free in the past few days?”
“Is something the matter?” Said Lei Xingfeng.
Zhong Geng smiled and said, “Yes, it’s a good thing.”
