Volume 6: The Mighty Starry Sky Chapter 698 Mysterious Thunder Crystal
Feeling that the elder slowed down after hearing her words, Tang Fei immediately guessed his thoughts and immediately spoke again:
“Elder, although he is from the Huadan Sect, he used his trump card to hold back the Purple Horned Thunder Dragon alone, buying us time to escape. Otherwise, you would not be able to see me by now.”
When the elder heard Tang Fei say that Li Xuanfeng dragged the purple-horned thunder dragon alone regardless of the danger, his expression suddenly became extremely surprised. He did not expect that the alchemist would be so decisive and brave.
Seeing the sincerity on Tang Fei's pretty face, the elder had already believed most of her words and now he once again used all his strength to speed up!
Since this person is so righteous, we should indeed go and save him. Besides, the thunder crystal and purple horn of the purple-horned thunder dragon are both valuable resources, and it will be a gain after collecting them.
As the elder moved forward at full speed, following Tang Fei's instructions, they soon arrived at the place where they had fought with the purple-horned thunder dragon before.
What made them extremely puzzled was that the place was quite peaceful. Apart from the constantly wandering power of thunder and lightning, there was no trace of anyone!
The elder turned to look at Tang Fei and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure this is the place?"
Tang Fei nodded. She had been carefully remembering the route and distance when she was escaping just now, just to avoid getting to the wrong location and being unable to save Li Xuanfeng.
Hearing that she was sure this was the place, the elder immediately started searching at full speed. In a moment, he had searched the area within a thousand miles around this place, but still could not find any trace of Li Xuanfeng and the Purple-Horned Thunder Dragon!
Even if he met two cultivators and questioned them, they would answer that they had never seen a purple-horned thunder dragon.
The elder finally stopped, spread his consciousness with all his strength, and sensed the aura of this place very carefully. Finally, he discovered that the aura here was more violent than that of other areas!
Because the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool contains endless power of thunder and lightning, the violent aura is everywhere, but the violent aura here is even stronger.
The elder immediately determined that this place had most likely experienced a great war before, and the violent force generated by the battle had not yet completely dissipated.
However, this elder could only sense this much, because the purple-horned thunder dragon's body and bloody aura had been completely cleared away by Li Xuanfeng.
At this time, Jiang Chen and Yang Xue also rushed here, but did not see Li Xuanfeng. A doubt suddenly arose in their hearts. Could it be that he had been swallowed by the purple-horned thunder dragon?
Seeing Jiang Chen and the other two also coming here, the elder of the Fuhua Sect said in a deep voice: "I have searched the area for a thousand miles and did not find the Purple Horned Thunder Dragon and your sect's genius. I am afraid that they are in great danger!"
"Moreover, I sense that the violent aura of the battle here has mostly dissipated. This purple-horned lightning dragon has probably been gone for quite some time! "
Hearing his words, Jiang Chen and Yang Xue were shocked. They didn't expect that Li Xuanfeng might have been killed by the purple-horned thunder dragon after they had been away for only half an incense stick of time!
No wonder the purple-horned thunder dragon did not chase them. It might be that after swallowing Li Xuanfeng, it turned around and went deep into the soul-destroying thunder pool.
At this point Jiang Chen and Yang Xue could no longer ask the elder to continue expanding the search area, and they were afraid that even Li Xuanfeng's body might not be found.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen was the first to speak: "Thank you, Elder. I am very grateful."
The elder nodded, then turned to look at Tang Fei and the other man from his own sect and asked, "Do you want to follow me?"
He said this out of his concern for Tang Fei and the other person. If they followed him, it would naturally be much safer.
Tang Fei and the other man looked at each other, and after a moment's silence, they clasped their fists and bowed in gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Elder, but we want to go on our own."
The elder nodded after hearing this and said gently, "Be careful."
After saying this, he flashed away and returned along the previous route. There was a group of disciples waiting for him to protect them.
After the elder left, Jiang Chen said in a low voice, "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Li would be dead or alive so soon!"
Tang Fei and others nodded in agreement. Originally, they were not familiar with Li Xuanfeng, but this time he took the initiative to block the purple-horned thunder dragon and bought time for them, which made them feel that this person was worth making friends with.
But I didn't expect that now there might be no chance for me to make friends with him at all.
Although they said they didn't know whether he was alive or dead, everyone knew very well that under the attack of the purple-horned thunder dragon with such terrifying combat power, Li Xuanfeng was probably dead!
Jiang Chen and Yang Xue looked at each other and noticed a hint of worry in each other's eyes. They also thought of the instructions given by Great Elder Liu Chen to protect Li Xuanfeng before they entered the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool.
Yang Xue sent a voice message to Jiang Chen with a somewhat worried tone: "Now that Li Xuanfeng has encountered an accident, if Elder Liu asks about it after we leave the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pond, how should we answer?"
Jiang Chen's eyes flashed, and he cleared his worries. He said calmly, "To be honest, this purple-horned thunder dragon is too powerful. We can't fight it at all. It's inevitable that Li Xuanfeng will have an accident. I don't believe that Elder Liu will punish us because of a dead person!"
Hearing his words, Yang Xue felt relieved. They were all top geniuses, people valued by the sect. Even if Elder Liu was extremely angry, he would probably just ask a few questions. After all, Li Xuanfeng had already fallen, and the matter could not be reversed!
After sorting out their thoughts, Tang Fei and Jiang Chen bowed and said goodbye before leaving, and continued to look for thunder beasts to hunt.
Although they felt sorry for Li Xuanfeng, they were all cultivators who had practiced for nearly three hundred years. They would not feel sad about this matter at all. It could only be regarded as a small episode on the road of cultivation.
The strong prey on the weak; this is an eternal truth in the world of cultivation; the strong have all stepped on the flesh and blood of countless people!
If Li Xuanfeng has already died, it only means that he is not qualified to grow into a strong man in the future.
As time passed, the violent aura within the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool seemed to be constantly increasing.
That was due to the battle between countless monks and thunder beasts, which caused the violent power within the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool to suddenly increase a lot!
During the battle, many monks achieved considerable gains.
Of course, there are also many cultivators who are unlucky and encounter thunder beasts that they are unable to fight against, and they pay a heavy price!
As many monks were seriously injured or died, many monks who were originally unwilling to follow the elders of their forces also chose to find elders to follow.
In this way, although one's own gains will be greatly reduced, at least one's life safety can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
Because there were so many monks following the elder, there were often not enough thunder beasts to share, so the elder had to let them take turns to obtain some thunder crystals according to their cultivation level.
Although the distribution is fair, each person does not receive many thunder crystals, so it can only be considered the safest method.
Although not many resources can be obtained, at least there is no need to worry about life-threatening situations.
Those who can obtain a large number of thunder crystals are all decisive and fierce people. They will not choose to follow the elders to hunt thunder beasts comfortably, but will go alone or with one or two people!
Although monks who choose this method are more likely to be seriously injured or even killed due to encountering thunder beasts that they cannot resist, the speed at which their cultivation and combat power improve is far faster than that of monks who follow the elders.
As long as they can survive, these monks will have a greater chance .
This is the reason why they say wealth and honor are achieved through risk.
Li Xuanfeng also chose this method.
After entering the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool, Li Xuanfeng had already come up with the idea of getting rid of Jiang Chen and Yang Xue. With them around, it would be difficult for him to expose too much, so he never took action.
After seeing the appearance of the Purple-Horned Thunder Dragon in the middle stage of the Earth Profound Realm, Li Xuanfeng had already made up his mind that when they were unable to fight back, he would use the excuse of buying time for them to completely get rid of them.
Although Tang Fei and the other person joined later, they were still unable to defeat the purple-horned thunder dragon, and it did not affect Li Xuanfeng's plan.
It was because he was worried that Tang Fei and the others would soon find the elder, so after Li Xuanfeng quickly killed the purple-horned thunder dragon, he used fire to burn it to ashes, and then immediately left the place.
There were no other cultivators around him at this time, and Li Xuanfeng had already exerted all his combat power, showing extremely terrifying combat power!
Although Li Xuanfeng is only at the initial stage of the Earth Profound Realm, it is extremely easy to kill a thunder beast at the initial stage of the Earth Profound Realm. A Thunder Star-Breaking Fist is enough to kill it instantly!
If one punch isn't enough, use two!
However, the only thunder beast in the early stage of the Earth Profound Realm that could survive Li Xuanfeng's Thunder Star-Smashing Fist was a native thunder beast with a strong body.
However, even though they had strong bodies, they were seriously injured and dying after being attacked by Li Xuanfeng's Thunder Star-Crushing Fist, and they had no power to resist at all!
With Li Xuanfeng's combat power, it was extremely easy to kill a thunder beast in the early stage of the Earth Profound Realm. Even a thunder beast in the middle stage of the Earth Profound Realm was not difficult.
The thunder beast formed by the power of thunder and lightning has almost no intelligence and its combat power is not strong. Even if it has reached the middle stage of the Earth Profound Realm, it is no match for Li Xuanfeng!
After hunting down many thunder beasts, Li Xuanfeng continued to absorb the power of thunder and lightning in the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool while also beginning to absorb the thunder crystals he had obtained.
When absorbing the thunder crystal for the first time, Li Xuanfeng carefully sensed the power contained within it and the improvement in his own artistic conception, and suddenly felt that this thing was extremely mysterious.
While absorbing it, Li Xuanfeng could sense very clearly the extremely pure spiritual power contained in it, as if it was a kind of fine wine that had been treasured for a long time. Absorbing it seemed to make the spiritual power in his body more active.
There is also pure lightning power in the thunder crystal, which can be absorbed by Li Xuanfeng. It can enhance the lightning-attributed spiritual power and physical strength in his body.
Not only that, Li Xuanfeng clearly felt that there was a weak power of artistic conception contained in the thunder crystal, and this power of artistic conception had no attributes!
The power of artistic conception that each person perceives is different, just like the different attributes of spiritual power, and they cannot absorb the power of artistic conception transferred from other cultivators.
However, the second-level thunder beast in this soul-destroying thunder pool has a faint and pure artistic conception power contained in the thunder crystal in its body.
What surprised Li Xuanfeng was that this pure power of artistic conception had no attributes and could be absorbed by all second-level cultivators!
After absorbing the weak and pure power of artistic conception contained in a thunder crystal, Li Xuanfeng faintly sensed a very slight increase in the power of artistic conception in his body!
Compared with the majestic power of artistic conception in Li Xuanfeng's body, this slight improvement is almost negligible, but it is what countless second-level cultivators pursue!
For cultivators in the second realm, there are very few ways to improve the power of artistic conception. Apart from relying on their own understanding of artistic conception, there are almost none!
Because of this, their cultivation level improved extremely slowly , and the Thunder Crystals within the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool became an opportunity that they could not afford to miss!
Even if it's just a slight improvement, it can add up to a lot!
If one could obtain dozens or even hundreds of thunder crystals, it is very likely that one could advance one's cultivation by dozens or even hundreds of years!
