Chapter 159 Ning Bu'er Requests Repayment
"I think Xu Jiu seems to have always been on the right path in accepting the Thunder Soul Sect's inheritance."
Each time he cleared a level, it was very easy, as if he had gained Lei Shizi's approval.
And we,
They relied on brute force.
This includes Xu Jiu's soul being able to resist, be attracted to, or neutralize soul lightning.
Either way, he better embodies the true characteristics of the Thunder Soul Sect's teachings.
As soon as Ji Wuchen said this, the entire room fell silent again!
So, all along, we were rushing ahead just to make things easier for Xu Jiu?
That sixth brother!
Ning Bu'er's heart was in turmoil.
Her current predicament is that she urgently needs a master with the secret technique of Soul Thunder to enter her soul and help her get rid of that wisp of demonic thought.
Putting aside this person's character, just considering his abilities, it seems that Xu Jiu really has the potential, according to them?
Let's go back to character.
Ning Bu'er recalled everything that had happened since she met Xu Jiu.
She discovered that,
Although this person is somewhat selfish, opportunistic, and greedy,
But he never went back on his word.
Compared to other hypocrites, this person should be considered an open and honest villain.
If it really comes to the last moment, and you have to choose one person to save you, or choose to sacrifice yourself to save your own life,
Xu Jiu seems to be her best choice at the moment.
At least, Ning Bu'er dared not trust her puppeteer master.
"Let's wait and see. It hasn't come to that yet. I refuse to believe that God won't give me a sliver of hope."
Ning Bu'er suppressed the turmoil in her heart, looked ahead with a resolute gaze.
Just now, after that soul lightning appeared in her soul, she gritted her teeth and risked her life to guide it towards the source of her soul.
He thought that even if he was seriously injured, he would try to kill that demonic thought.
however,
The effect was not ideal. The demonic thought was extremely cunning; just before the soul lightning exploded, it darted away from its hiding place and fled to another location not far away.
This caused Ning Bu'er to suffer excruciating pain, and her divine soul essence was slightly damaged.
But this excruciating pain was no longer a concern for her.
"Either kill me, or if you don't, I'll become stronger!"
As if she had experienced a minor tribulation of divine soul lightning, while being injured, her divine soul was also tainted with a small amount of lightning spirit attribute, which was slowly affecting her divine soul origin.
With this wisp of lightning, the demonic thought dared not act too recklessly.
This is perhaps the only glimmer of good news amidst all the suffering.
"However, this is far from enough. If I want to get past the seventh, eighth, and ninth thunder lions, I need to significantly improve my control over the power of thunder spirits."
Otherwise, there would be no chance to enter the fourth level.
Perhaps, like Qin Chengcheng did, we could try planting a layer of lightning crystal.
Ning Bu'er's heart trembled slightly. In her current state of spiritual corruption, she was no longer so concerned about the possibility of the Thunder Crystal harming her physical body.
In the face of life and death, who would care about chastity?
Inside the seventh stone tablet,
With the help of the system's devouring power, Chen Yi absorbed Kun Lei's spirituality one by one.
Chen Yi's ninetieth to ninety-ninth thunder spirit runes lit up in sequence.
Nine special runes from the earth's veins connected to form a lightning array.
Chen Yi sensed that he could cultivate lightning-attracting techniques using the earth's veins.
Thunder is born from the nine heavens.
And drawn by the earth, it could then strike down with terrifying force.
It moves above the nine heavens and hides below the nine netherworlds.
Heaven and earth may seem like two extremes, but they are closely related.
Chen Yi seemed to understand something.
Now that the Kunlei Formation within his body has been formed, its ability to attract heavenly lightning into his body has been greatly improved.
He made a brief attempt, releasing the Kunlei Formation and the Golden Crystal Body Refinement defense, allowing the lightning energy from the external lightning field to enter his body.
This time, the lightning spirit power, a high-grade third-tier spell, flowed through Chen Yi's body following the array patterns formed by his more than ninety lightning spirit runes.
In the end, it disappeared from the nine thunder spirit runes hidden in the Kunlei Formation.
It was as if they had been led into the deepest underground abyss, like a stone sinking into the ocean, leaving no ripples.
Only Chen Yi knew this.
This lightning power was stored deep within the array formed by the nine lightning runes.
He can mobilize it at any time when he needs it, forming a terrifying thunderbolt.
With his current strength, the total amount of lightning energy that the nine lightning runes can store is comparable to the total amount of lightning energy in the hundred lightning crystals on his body.
This is equivalent to the formation of a special storage device for thunder spirit energy within his body, which not only greatly enhances his defense against and absorption of thunder spirit power,
It can also be released at critical moments to replenish the energy of its own lightning crystal.
"Sure enough, once you reach the late stage of the third level, the effect of this Kunlei Formation is much stronger than before."
Chen Yi hasn't had time to delve into the detailed development of those things yet; he can study them carefully later when needed.
Three days later, Chen Yi emerged from seclusion.
The other prodigies looked at Chen Yi as if he were a monster, surrounding him and staring at him.
"Xu Jiu, how did you do that?"
The crowd surrounded Chen Yi and asked him questions.
"How did you do that?" Chen Yi asked back.
"How did you react so quickly when your soul was invaded by the soul lightning? How did you manage to pass the test without triggering the seventh thunder lion?" Zuo Shouqing pressed.
Chen Yi smiled as he looked at Zuo Shouqing, who was asking the question.
"Fellow Daoist Zuo, we seem to be strangers. If I were to ask you how to cultivate the core sword technique of your sect, would you cleave me in two with a single sword strike?"
Zuo Shouqing was slightly embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Xu, I didn't know this was your core cultivation secret. If it's inconvenient, then it's alright."
"Ahem—, Benefactor Xu, Fellow Daoist Zuo simply doesn't understand Benefactor Xu's style."
We are eager to learn from you, and naturally we won't take advantage of your experience and insights for free. We will certainly pay a small fee for the resources you provide.
The young monk stepped forward and spoke the most crucial point.
He glanced at Zuo Shouqing and thought to himself, "Zuo is still too naive. Does he really think Xu is unwilling to share his experience?"
In fact, those who know Xu Jiu know that Master Xu is a very generous person.
Of course, this is on the premise of not getting something for free.
However, Chen Yi's answer surprised the little monk.
Chen Yi glanced at the monk Linghui, then shook his head:
"I'm sorry, I've accumulated some resources over this period of time, so I'm not short of cultivation resources at the moment."
After saying that, Chen Yi was about to return to Malong to continue his secluded cultivation.
"Um?"
Wait a minute, this isn't like Master Xu's style.
Ah! I know, they didn't pay enough!
The young monk, having figured it out, quickly stopped Chen Yi and said:
"Please wait, Benefactor Xu. I'm not saying we'll provide the resources alone."
If Benefactor Xu is willing to openly share his experience, this humble monk is willing to offer the inheritance of a quasi-divine power.
Others want to hear the same thing, or they want to pay a third-tier cultivation material or rare item worth no less than 2 spirit stones, which is a precious resource that cannot be bought on the market.
What do you all think?
"Of course." Ji Wuchen was the first to nod in agreement; he had plenty of resources of this caliber.
"I have no objection." Qiu Li agreed. She had wanted to ask Chen Yi some questions anyway, and she took the opportunity to ask him the questions she wanted to ask privately while she was with everyone.
Both of them agreed, so Zuo Shouqing naturally had no objection either. As for Qin Chengcheng and Ning Bu'er, they also agreed.
The two of them planned to pay off the debt later.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi paused, looked at the crowd, and was surprised:
Each person could have either a quasi-divine power or a rare resource worth 20,000 spirit stones.
"Well, since everyone is genuinely eager to learn, I, Xu, am not one to hoard what is good for me."
"Shall we sit down and have a chat?"
After he agreed, he turned to look at Qiu Li, his expression slightly less composed:
"Fairy Qiu, if I remember correctly, it was you who provoked the Thunder Lion, intending to harm me?"
Qiu Li and Qin Chengcheng have a good relationship, but he has to settle the score for her attacking him from behind and taking the blame for him.
If we ignore it, and everyone does the same thing, what will become of us?
This trend must not be allowed to continue!
Qiu Li's expression froze. In the Thundercloud Sect of Zhongzhou, who would dare to question her like this?
However, in the current environment, different social statuses exist.
At this critical juncture when everyone is begging Chen Yi, if she turns her back, she will naturally be excluded by Chen Yi.
She took a deep breath, and for the first time ever, showed an embarrassed expression, explaining:
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I acted rashly in my haste. This is a Thundercloud Flying Boat, a low-grade third-tier flying magic artifact, worth more than 30,000 spirit stones."
Consider this my reward for listening to Fellow Daoist Xu share his experience; any extra...
This can be considered an apology for previous misconduct.
As she spoke, she took out the boat she had used years ago and handed it to Chen Yi, along with dozens of mid-grade spirit stones to provide energy for the boat's flight.
Chen Yi did not take over, his tone calm:
"Fairy Qiu, this matter concerns my safety. Not everything can be bought with money."
If Xu were to die unexpectedly at the hands of Lei Shizi, would the fairy also have to spend some spirit stones to bury him?
Upon hearing this, Qiu Li narrowed her eyes and switched to sending a telepathic message to Chen Yi:
"Don't be greedy. My previous attack was just a normal test of Lei Shizi."
Besides, I know your true identity.
Chef Chen Ling!
Qiu Li emphasized the last three words.
Chen Yi paused, his eyes narrowing. "Fine, fine, you're threatening me, aren't you?"
He glanced at Qin Chengcheng, said nothing, but mentally noted down what had happened that day.
Since the other party disregarded Qin Chengcheng's feelings and used his true identity to threaten him,
If one day he seeks revenge, he won't care about Qin Chengcheng's feelings!
He was currently in a situation beyond his control; he didn't want to reveal his identity, otherwise he would have a hard time surviving in Qi and even in Zhongzhou.
No one can use a false identity forever. Just maintaining his bald appearance and aura consumes a significant amount of his magical power and spiritual sense every day.
Once the secret realm ends, he will return to a normal life, and a low-key and reasonable identity is still very important.
Unless, one day, he has the strength to leave this cultivation ground and go to a place where no one knows him, then he will have no worries.
With this in mind, Chen Yi slowly nodded and chose to accept the Thundercloud Boat, which was worth over 30,000 spirit stones.
"Alright, then please sit down and listen with Fairy Qiu."
The others didn't know what the two exchanged telepathically, but judging from the outcome, it seemed that Xu Jiu was at a disadvantage.
However, he was able to have two or three secret exchanges with Qiu Li and even received a flying boat as a reward.
Xu Jiu should be content.
The young monk, Zuo Shouqing, and Ji Wuchen each paid the tuition fee.
The young monk produced a secret technique for further cultivation of the Vajra Skill, the "Immovable Golden Body Technique," a defensive method considered to be at the quasi-supernatural level.
The technique Zuo Shouqing presented was also a escape technique—[Thunderclap Sword Escape], a sword escape technique he created by combining his own sword escape skills with the lightning movement methods he had comprehended in the secret realm over the past year.
Its escape technique is extremely fast, exceeding the level of ordinary escape techniques by a whole level, reaching the level of true supernatural power, and it also has considerable destructive power.
The drawback is that cultivating this method requires comprehending the sword's essence and achieving unity between body and sword. Furthermore, using this sword escape technique consumes a significant amount of energy, including lightning energy.
Chen Yi accepted all requests for escape techniques.
He was interested in sword release, lightning release, and wind release techniques.
He believed that as long as you could run faster than others, you could survive in dangerous environments.
So I can say I accepted the tuition fee for Zuo Shouqing.
But Ji Wuchen was much more straightforward; he immediately took out five treasures.
Each item was worth more than 20,000 spirit stones and was a true rare item, almost impossible to find on the market. Chen Yi was allowed to choose directly.
Chen Yi ultimately chose a material related to the [Azure Thunder Brew] he had previously used.
A mother tree of a thousand-year-old lightning-struck tree.
It can be used as a starter for making [Azure Thunder Brew]. Afterwards, as long as a certain quantity and type of thunder beast blood are collected,
He can then attempt to make [Azure Thunder Brew].
As for Qin Chengcheng, Chen Yi temporarily waived her payment.
Qin Chengcheng didn't say anything, but she remembered it in her heart and secretly decided to repay it in the future.
As for Ning Bu'er, she secretly transmitted her voice to Chen Yi:
"Can I use up one of my opportunities to personally guide Lei Jing's cultivation this time?"
"That works. But what about that time you went into the stable?"
"I'll owe you that time, and I'll pay you back later."
Ning Bu'er stared into Chen Yi's eyes, feeling somewhat guilty, because she still wanted to find an opportunity to sneak into Chen Yi's stable and ask him to implant the lightning crystal.
But for a moment I didn't know how to start the conversation.
Chen Yi nodded without saying anything. Anyway, Ning Bu'er had a puppet, so he wouldn't be unable to pay his tuition.
Then, Chen Yi asked everyone to set up a large temporary protective shield.
The six people sat around the perimeter, with Chen Yi standing in the center.
Then, phantom images of lightning crystals appeared in his hand, starting with thirty-six crystals forming a lightning array, and eventually expanding to a seventy-two-crystal array.
The explanations were brief and detailed, starting with the Thunder Spirit Body Refining Technique and later, the Thunder Spirit Rune Arrays of various attributes.
of course,
Chen Yi only explained the methods and principles, while glossed over his own detailed cultivation process in a single sentence.
Even so, all the prodigies gained a great deal.
After explaining this, Chen Yi briefly explained that these lightning fields have always had a strengthening effect on the soul.
If one could use the power of thunder to temper their soul from the very beginning, and continue for a year,
With his current level of spiritual power, he should be able to resist the soul lightning quite effectively.
Chen Yi's words caused the group of geniuses to fall into deep thought once again.
So, the answer to deciphering the Thunder Soul Sect's legacy was given from the very beginning?
It's a pity that these people never found the right direction from the very beginning.
The only way now is to start all over again, to understand it anew, following Xu Jiu's explanation.
You should also start practicing developing your soul's resistance to lightning.
However, if we start from scratch now, we'll definitely fall behind.
It's estimated that the Thunder Soul Sect's final inheritance will definitely not be able to compete with Xu Jiu.
But that's alright, Xu Jiu alone might not be able to collect all those high-level inheritances.
Their competitors are everyone except Xu Jiu.
Thinking of this, Ji Wuchen, the little monk, and the others immediately withdrew from the third floor and returned to the second floor, or even the first floor.
Let's start to understand each of the heritage stone tablets anew.
Qiu Li originally wanted to ask Chen Yi separately how he combined the three quasi-divine abilities: Thunder Step, Azure Wind Escape, and Thunder Crystal Array.
But now, after hearing Chen Yi's explanation, she already had a general plan in mind.
That would mean she would have to re-understand all the previous inheritances, and perhaps then she would naturally succeed.
She gave Chen Yi a deep look, then retreated and, like everyone else, retraced her steps through the Hall of Inheritance.
In the end, only Qin Chengcheng and Ning Bu'er remained.
Qin Chengcheng currently possesses a lightning crystal within her body. To overcome the seventh lightning lion, she must withstand the soul lightning with her divine soul.
There's no special method; you just have to practice more. Chen Yi taught her a few tricks, and she left the third floor to practice near the Thunder Pool on the second floor.
Finally, seeing that everyone had left, Ning Bu'er took a few steps forward and stood in front of Chen Yi.
A voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz:
"Xu Jiu, could you help me transfer some lightning crystals into my body?"
Consider this payment for the time I was owed for entering the stable, is that alright?
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi was completely stunned.
Did I mishear you, or did you say something wrong?
I'll give you the Thunder Crystal.
Do I still need to settle the debt you owe me?
Is there such a principle in this world?
Little did Chen Yi know that Ning Bu'er's idea of the Thunder Crystal Crossing process required dual cultivation between a man and a woman.
She considered herself to be a beauty on par with Qin Chengcheng, and being a virgin, she naturally had the right to settle accounts.
