Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 90: The Horrifying Lightning-Attracting Body
Heavenly Thunder Blood Crystals are formed after the death of a demon beast in the Nascent Soul stage or above. Because its extraordinary body is filled with evil spirits, it is constantly baptized by heavenly thunder. They are easiest to find in this kind of ancient battlefield.
But after wandering around the second heaven for a long time, Gu Xiaoxing did find many floating corpses of monsters. However, most of those floating corpses were already rotten and had not been crystallized by the baptism of heavenly thunder. It was probably because their cultivation was not enough. As for the floating corpses of human beings, there were obviously more of them, but humans could not form heavenly thunder blood crystals.
They even found quite a few floating magical instruments and treasures, but these ancient instruments and treasures had either decayed and turned into mortals, or been blown into pieces, and were also completely useless.
Obviously, the second heaven has been almost plundered by the Body Refining Sect over countless years.
As for the Thunder Cloud Fruit, compared to the Thunder Tree growing in the First Heaven, the Thunder Tree growing in the Second Heaven is obviously much more robust, and the thunder poison in the Thunder Cloud Fruit is also more concentrated, so it is called the Second Thunder Cloud Fruit by the people of the Body Refining Sect.
Everyone can enter Leiyuntian to find their own opportunities. The Body Refining Sect naturally has requirements. They are not fools. This time they allow people from other forces to enter Leiyuntian. Their original intention is to let everyone work for them. How could they allow people to cheat and go in to pick up opportunities for nothing?
Before entering, they had made three rules with all the major forces. Anyone who came out of the Thunder Cloud Sky must pick a sufficient amount of Thunder Cloud Fruit.
Among them, there can be one hundred and twenty-eight first-level thunder cloud fruits, sixty-four second-level thunder cloud fruits, thirty-two third-level thunder cloud fruits, or sixteen fourth-level thunder cloud fruits, and so on. If there is a sixth level in the Thunder Cloud Sky, you can even pick only four sixth-level thunder cloud fruits and give them to the Body Refining Sect.
This is equivalent to a ticket. If a person goes in and comes out without paying enough for the ticket, then sorry, the Body Refining Sect will have to use other gains to offset it.
Of course , in addition to the tickets, if you can pick more Thunder Cloud Fruits, that’s another charge. You can negotiate with their Body Refining Sect to exchange them for other things. In short, it’s very humane, and there’s potential for profiteers!
However, compared to the first heaven, the good things in the second heaven are indeed better. After Gu Xiaoxing and his companions wandered around for a long time, they finally found two hundreds-year-old spiritual medicines in a ruin. Although they also have thunder attributes, they are not as poisonous as the Thunder Cloud Fruit. They are real precious medicines!
"Brother, these are two Bauhinia thunbergii vines, wow... they are almost two six hundred year old spiritual medicines!" Ling'er was even more excited. Her master was an alchemist and she also took care of spiritual medicines on a daily basis, so she was quite familiar with them.
"Yeah!" Gu Xiaoxing nodded, pretending to be calm, and asked, "How many spirit stones can it be worth?"
"If it's six hundred years old... one plant can be worth about ten..." The little girl pouted as she calculated, looking very cute, and immediately got excited, "It can be worth about twenty mid-grade spirit stones!"
"How much?" Gu Xiaoxing asked again, as if he didn't hear clearly.
"Twenty mid-grade spirit stones!"
"That's all?" Gu Xiaoxing was a little excited at first, but when he heard this, he immediately lost his excitement. "How many redbud vines do I need to buy a magic weapon?"
When the little girl heard this, she immediately came to her senses from the joy of the harvest and threw the Bauhinia Thunder Vine to the ground, angrily saying, "That's right, hum... I was so happy for nothing. Let's go, little brother, let's fight our way to the third heaven!"
"Okay, let's go!" Gu Xiaoxing waved his hand with great momentum, and calmly put the two redbud vines into the storage bag.
The little girl looked at him inexplicably, but Gu Xiaoxing didn't even blush, and just said, "Well... no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat."
Then, the two of them flew towards the third heaven. In fact, because they had spent quite a lot of time in the first and second heavens, their speed was already slow. The others had basically already reached the third heaven, or even the fourth heaven!
As for the fifth heaven, it is not accessible to ordinary people. It requires extremely powerful strength. But at this moment, there are two figures standing in the fifth heaven. They looked at each other and smiled, both revealing evil smiles.
"Brother Qin, this plan... is brilliant!" one of them said.
"Hahaha! Brother Kuishan, don't worry. The day Xu Qianxing comes up will be the day he is captured. Then, you can deal with him as you please..." Another man was looking at a disc in his hand. There were some moving dots on it, and two of them were rising continuously, as if they were going to rush into the fifth heaven.
Gu Xiaoxing and the other person soared tens of thousands of miles again, and when they rushed into the thundercloud, including the time they had spent strolling in the first and second heavens, it was already the second day.
There were rumbling thunder and constant crashing thunder in the thunderclouds leading to the third heaven, which was far more terrifying than the ones below, and even more dangerous than the initial thundercloud passage. It was estimated that except for the freak Gu Xiaoxing, very few cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building could pass through safely, and they would have to be in the late stage of foundation building at least!
But just as they safely waded through the thunderclouds, they thought that they would be greeted by a vast space as if they had rushed into the second heaven, but unexpectedly, they were greeted by even more violent thunder.
In other words, it was a thunderstorm!
Lightning of varying thicknesses crisscrossed each other as if to crush everything, making Gu Xiaoxing's scalp numb. He secretly cursed his bad luck as to how he encountered a thunderstorm as soon as he emerged.
The little girl was so frightened that her face turned pale. She suddenly took out a red umbrella. It looked like just an oil-paper umbrella, but as the red umbrella was opened, the thunders that were intertwined around her were bounced away one after another.
Gu Xiaoxing immediately realized that this was one of the three top-grade magic weapons he bought in the Dahao Treasure Pavilion that day, the red silk umbrella which was purely for defense. He and the little girl breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The top-grade magic weapon was enough to block this small thunderstorm, but the two did not dare to be careless. Even with the red silk umbrella, they did not dare to walk through the thunderstorm. Instead, they slowly sank back into the thundercloud under their feet and emerged from another place, thus barely avoiding it.
Looking at the small thunderstorms that kept interweaving not far away, Gu Xiaoxing was secretly shocked. Even if his body was strong, if he dared to pass through such a thunderstorm, he would probably be turned into charcoal in no time.
"Huh...!" The little girl also breathed a sigh of relief, but was immediately startled and said, "Little brother, why do I feel like it's coming towards us again!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoxing looked suddenly, and sure enough, the small thunderstorm that had not moved suddenly spread slowly towards them. Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxing rubbed his eyes, took a closer look, then turned around and ran away with the little girl, wanting to curse in his heart!
The ghost is still there!
At this moment , in the small thunderstorm, a figure was smiling and waving, shouting something. If the thunderstorm were to reduce its noise, one would be able to hear him shouting, "Brother Youyuan, we meet again!"
This person was none other than Zhang Dixin. He was standing in the center of a thunderstorm. The lightning and thunder were so densely packed around him that they had formed an impenetrable electric grid. However, he was not hurt at all. All the lightning and thunder approaching him changed their paths, as if there was an insulating space within a ten-foot radius around him!
"Brother Youyuan, wait for me. I just told you a fortune and have something to tell you!" Zhang Dixin kept waving his hands and shouting, while chasing after Gu Xiaoxing.
However, the thunderstorm was so loud that no one could hear it.
"Are you sick? I have no grudge against you! Stop chasing me!" Gu Xiaoxing was almost crying and let out a mad roar.
But people can't hear it in a thunderstorm...
He chased and fled all the way like this. Wherever he passed, no grass grew and everyone he saw retreated away!
Compared to the Second Heaven, the Third Heaven is obviously much more lively. Basically, people who are in the late stage of foundation building choose to stay in the Third Heaven to seek fortune, because without the perfect foundation building cultivation, it is too difficult to break into the Fourth Heaven!
"Run, it's that madman from Tianjimen! He's here again!" Someone wailed in fear, as if this was not the first time he had met Zhang Dixin.
Gu Xiaoxing didn't care about them at all and could hardly save himself.
"Wow! Little brother, hurry up, hurry up, catch up...catch up!" Lu Linger was already scared to tears.
When Gu Xiaoxing looked back, he felt like his scalp was about to explode. He had no idea why Zhang Dixin, who was only in the late stage of foundation building, was so fast. The thunderstorm was approaching, and although it had not arrived yet, the oppression had already made him feel paralyzed all over.
Not caring about anything else any longer, Gu Xiaoxing grabbed Lu Linger and desperately used his magical power. He took one step forward, shrunk the distance into an inch, and instantly crossed ten miles. This was already his current limit. He took one step after another, not daring to pause for even the slightest bit. When he finally escaped from the clutches of the devil, he was almost running to death.
His magical power was not yet mature to begin with, and this reckless running was simply fatal. He quickly took some pills, which gave him some relief.
Lu Linger also patted her chest with a lingering fear. The scene just now was really too terrifying. The thought of her delicate little body being ravaged by a group of lightning snakes made her tremble all over.
"You two...are from the Soul Devouring Sect?"
Just as Gu Xiaoxing and the other person were calming down, a voice suddenly appeared in their ears, and then they realized that there were several figures not far in front of them.
These are several people wearing grey Taoist robes, including a young man, three middle-aged men, and a woman. The other four are in the late stage of foundation building, and only the young man has reached the perfect stage of foundation building.
Everyone had seen the people who came into Lei Yuntian in the hall on the top of the mountain, so Gu Xiaoxing recognized them immediately. These people were all from the Bugu Lei Sect, which was second only to the three major sects in the small wasteland.
"How come you are only in the middle stage of foundation building!?" The young man stepped forward and frowned slightly when he looked at Gu Xiaoxing, but when he looked at Lu Linger, his eyes immediately lit up, "Foundation building is complete!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the remaining people from the Bugulei Sect were all shocked. They saw that the little girl was only ten years old, but she had already reached the perfect stage of foundation building?
Their Soul-Devouring Sect had just seen the rise of Lu Linger, so how come another little girl appeared?
However, as everyone remembered the Soul-Devouring Sect's top-grade spiritual treasure, they felt relieved.
The young man did not look at Gu Xiaoxing, but bowed to the little girl and said, "My name is Bu Gu Lei Zong Mo Chongtian, may I know your name, young lady?"
Mo Chongtian?
But what does it have to do with Bai Xiangtian?
Gu Xiaoxing thought inexplicably.
