Lei Xingfeng's advancement had come to an end for now. What he needed to do now was train his Lei Yin Force and solidify his foundation. Also, the most important thing from now on was to gather the materials needed for advancement and stock up on Yin Rings. Even though Wu Yang had agreed to let him prepare the Yin Rings for advancement, Lei Xingfeng wasn't going to be completely unprepared. He planned to get more Yin Rings.
… …
Old man Thunderstorm was also in the Wansee Continent. The arrival of the rainy season was also an opportunity for him to increase his cultivation. However, during the recent Thunderstorm's cultivation during the rainy season, he found that he had reached the peak of Ninth Ring Sage, but there was no hope for him to advance to Monarch. He vaguely knew that a lot of preparations were needed to advance to Monarch, but because he wasn't a member of a secret sect, he had no idea what he needed to do to advance.
After fighting with Si Dano for so long, he didn't know how many of Si Dano's subordinates he had killed. However, Si Dano never showed up, which made him extremely unhappy.
Today, he came to a small town on the water and found an old friend living in seclusion. He directly landed in that person's house from the sky.
"Old An, An Dabao, an old friend is here!"
An Dabao was a Seventh Ring Sage. His face was covered in a beard and he was abnormally old. He was originally a Ninth Ring Sage, but he was heavily injured in a battle and his cultivation dropped to Seventh Ring. Since then, he had been living in seclusion in a small town on the water.
An Dabao said, "Old Thunderstorm, you're rejuvenated. Your cultivation has actually recovered!"
Thunderstorm smiled, "Old An, my luck is not bad, haha."
An Dabao said, "Old Thunderstorm, do you have Yin Rings?"
Thunderstorm said, "You're using Yin Rings to support yourself?"
An Dabao sighed, "Yes, I have no choice. Without Yin Rings, I won't be able to live much longer, sigh …"
Thunderstorm took out two Yin Rings, "I don't have many either. Hmm, use these two for now. These things are really hard to find."
An Dabao said, "Actually, after you reach Ninth Ring, these things should be easy to get. Just join a secret sect and you'll have everything. What about the matter I told you last time?"
Thunderstorm shook his head. "I'm not used to serving people. Hehe, you know that I have a bad temper, and I'm used to being alone."
An Dabao said, "Forget it. Sigh, in a secret sect, if you're not a direct disciple, there's really no point. You can only get some Yin Rings. By the way, have you found the two children? "
Thunderstorm's face darkened. After a while, he said, "Not a single one of them. Damn it, Stano! I'm not done with you! "
An Dabao said, "Maybe they were taken in by the Secret Sect. I heard you say that the two little guys have excellent aptitudes. This area is where the Secret Sect gathers. With the aptitudes of the two children, if they were seen by the people from the Secret Sect, hehe, they would not let them go. You can ask around."
An Dabao cooked a few dishes and took out a bottle of old wine. He said, "Let's drink a little. Hehe, it's been a long time since a friend came to visit."
"I can't find Aslan," Thunderstorm said. "I don't know how the kids are doing." He picked up his glass and drank it, a bitter look on his face.
An Dabao said, "Have you found the others?"
Thunderstorm shook his head. "Something must have happened. I can't find them. Stano is from the Secret Sect, and he seems to be a direct disciple. That bastard hasn't come out. I can't find him."
An Dabao said, "Be careful not to provoke his elders."
Thunderstorm said, "I know. The Secret Sect can be very shameless sometimes. I've always been careful."
An Dabao said, "That's good. Sigh, I don't go back to the Secret Sect anymore. I just eat and wait for death here."
Thunderstorm said, "Without Yin Rings, you won't be able to last long. You should find something to do. Either go back to the Secret Sect, or find materials to exchange for Yin Rings. Sitting at home like this is not a solution."
In fact, An Dabao's current state was like Lei Xingfeng's previous life's otaku. He was a deep otaku. He didn't go out at all. He just hid at home and lived off his savings.
An Dabao shook his head. "I don't want to go back to the Secret Sect. It's all for someone else. Oh, right, I contacted a friend. He's planning to go to the Outer World. Do you want to come? The materials you find … Give half to that friend and keep the other half for yourself. You can also exchange them for Yin Rings. "
Thunderstorm asked curiously, "I thought you didn't go out?"
An Dabao laughed bitterly. "I don't have a choice. I don't have any Yin Rings left. If I rely on myself to cultivate, there's no way I can improve. One Yin Ring a month is the minimum. If I can't reach that, my cultivation will drop. Once I drop to six rings, I'm basically dead. Hehe, I can't just watch myself die."
Thunderstorm said, "Your friend is from the Secret Sect? A direct disciple? "
An Dabao said, "Yes, but he's unlucky. He's been preparing for almost a hundred years, but he still hasn't collected all the materials. His position in the Secret Sect has dropped drastically. His subordinates … Hehe, many of them have left. That's why he's looking for outside experts."
There were rich and poor secret sects as well. For example, the secret sect that Xin Yao was in was an extremely wealthy one. There were also some secret sects that only had a single Monarch in their sect. They were relatively weak and lacked Yin Rings. Even if they were direct disciples, their lives were miserable.
Even if a Ninth Ring Sage didn't join a secret sect, there were still many opportunities. For example, people in secret sects would try their best to recruit an expert like Lei Bao. Ninth Ring Sages weren't cabbages, they were the backbone of the secret sects. Especially an expert like the old man Lei Bao, who had shocking battle strength, he was the target of recruitment.
Of course, Thunderstorm was a very arrogant person. He didn't even consider joining the Secret Sect. He didn't rely on Yin Rings to cultivate. He relied on his own potential and special methods to become a Ninth Ring Sage. He himself had the potential to become a Monarch.
After thinking for a moment, Thunderstorm said, "Where do we go?" He'd been to the Outer World once before. It was also a friend who took him there. But the harvest was mediocre. He'd only been there for a short time. He'd earned six or seven Yin Rings, mainly from guard missions.
"The Black Waters!"
An Dabao said, "That place is very dangerous. The natives are very strong. We need a lot of guards. There's a material there that my friend urgently needs."
Thunderstorm knew that if it wasn't dangerous, then there was no need to hire experts to protect him. He said, "What's the condition?"
An Dabao's face lit up. "Ten Yin Rings! Of course, it's fine if you don't want Yin Rings. Go and collect the materials. No matter how much you get in the end, you can leave half for my friend and deal with the other half yourself. You can also sell it to my friend or keep it for yourself. "
Ten Yin Rings. The price wasn't low, but it wasn't high either. Thunderstorm was a little hesitant. He said, "What material are you looking for?"
An Dabao said, "A plant that grows in the Black Waters. It's called the Black Spirit Fruit. It's used to concoct medicine."
Thunderstorm was very knowledgeable. He knew what it was as soon as he heard it. He said, "Black Spirit Fruit. It's really valuable. One Black Spirit Fruit should be enough to exchange for a Yin Ring, right?"
An Dabao shook his head. "Two Black Spirit Fruits can be exchanged for two Yin Rings. That's why I advise you not to ask for payment. Pick the Black Spirit Fruit instead."
Thunderstorm said, "Two Yin Rings means you need to pick twenty Black Spirit Fruits to break even. Haha, I wonder if the Black Waters has that many Black Spirit Fruits."
An Dabao shook his head again. "It's not how you calculate it. Old Thunder, I'm talking about the lowest quality Black Spirit Fruit that can be exchanged for two Yin Rings. If it's the highest quality Black Spirit Fruit, then one can be exchanged for ten Yin Rings."
Thunderstorm said, "That's more like it. Right, how long will it take to enter the Black Waters this time?"
There was a time limit to entering the Outer World. Some places you could stay for a long time, while others couldn't. This mainly depended on the wealth of the Monarch who opened the Hidden Door, as well as the amount of Yin Rings required. Entering and exiting the Hidden Door would cost a considerable amount of Yin Rings. Many Monarchs set a time limit to save on Yin Rings. When the time limit was up, they had to return.
An Dabao said, "About one to two months. I also hope to stay longer."
Thunderstorm said, "Alright, I'll go with you."
… …
Lei Xingfeng had already brought Jin Daya and the others back to the Hidden Door space. This time, he also brought Zhong Geng, Wu Zhen, and Han Xiao Bao into the Hidden Door space to let them experience the Hidden Door.
As soon as they reached home, they saw Yu Kou come out. When he saw Lei Xingfeng, he couldn't help but say happily, "Aiya, you're finally home. I've already looked for you twice. Hehe, if I still couldn't find you … I'll have to take them away myself."
Lei Xingfeng asked curiously, "Eldest Senior Brother, why are you looking for me?"
Yu Kou said, "It's your Third Senior Sister, Qi Meiyun. Mm, I'm just a messenger."
Lei Xingfeng was puzzled. He said, "If Third Senior Sister is looking for me, why does Eldest Senior Brother have to run back and forth? This … Can't you just send someone else?"
Yu Kou said, "Hehe, I'm fine, aren't I? Right, I have a question. Why does Third Junior Sister want you to go to the Outer World?"
Lei Xingfeng said in surprise, "To the Outer World?"
Yu Kou said, "Yes, yes, to the Outer World. This time, I'm going as well. Originally, we were already preparing to leave, but Third Junior Sister insisted on looking for you. So … hehe, I was very curious, so I took the initiative to look for you."
Lei Xingfeng immediately understood that this was a matter of luck. He smiled and said, "Where are you going?"
Yu Kou said, "Mm, to the Blackwater Region."
