Of course, Lei Xingfeng didn't know about these rules. Even if he knew, he wouldn't follow them. Even if Jing Ziya needed more hexagonal crystals, he would provide them. The crystal puppets were too important.
In fact, Lei Xingfeng was very grateful to the black bird. If it hadn't been for its pestering, he would have had to spend a lot of effort to subdue Jing Ziya, and the effect might not have been as good. He had to rely on the black bird to anger Jing Ziya, so he had such a good opportunity. As expected, it brought him great benefits. These crystals were all free.
Jing Ziya was very satisfied with the ten hexagonal crystals she received. She paid attention to Lei Xingfeng's expression and saw that he didn't care at all. She didn't know whether he didn't know how precious hexagonal crystals were or he really didn't care. However, she was very satisfied with Lei Xingfeng's attitude. She had a judgment in her heart. This person was not a stingy person. Following the orders of such a person was much better than a stingy guy. At least he wouldn't exploit her and not give her benefits.
Lei Xingfeng said, "Well, if you need hexagonal crystals, just ask me. Here's one for you!" He was very generous. This was not only because Jing Ziya was a high-end martial artist, but also because she was familiar with the era of disappearance and knew a lot of things that he didn't know. He had to treat this kind of person seriously, even if she was just a puppet.
Jing Ziya was even more satisfied. She nodded and said, "Okay!" She was very straightforward and very straightforward.
Lei Xingfeng had always had a philosophy that there was no return without effort. Therefore, he was quite lenient with his subordinates. As long as he had something and his subordinates needed something, he would try his best to satisfy them. He was not vague about this at all.
Jing Ziya said, "Do you want these strongmen too?"
Lei Xingfeng suddenly smiled. The reward came immediately. He said, "Of course. Do you have any good ideas?"
Jing Ziya said, "I just need to set them up."
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Jing Ziya said lightly, "It's no trouble." As he spoke, he stepped forward and commanded the gold-tier puppets to line up. Then, he began to reset the settings. As he did so, he said, "I reckon that when you subdued the Hercules, you completely extracted their energy source before reactivating them.
Although Lei Xingfeng didn't understand what the first order was, he had handled it this way in the past. He nodded and said, "Yes."
Jing Ziya said, "That's indeed possible, but you have to drive the Strongmen personally. They don't have any autonomy, so this is the stupidest method."
Lei Xingfeng was immediately speechless. He had no other choice, because he didn't understand it at all. He could only fumble around to undo the restraints of the gold-grade puppet beast, but in the end, he was said to be worthless by Jing Ziya.
Jin Daya said, "It's good that you can use it. We don't understand it at all."
After a short while, Jing Ziya finished setting up. Lei Xingfeng couldn't understand how she had done it, but since she knew how to do it, he would leave the task of collecting Puppet Beasts to her.
Jing Ziya said, "It's done."
The ten gold-tier puppets came in front of Lei Xingfeng and bowed their heads to salute him. They weren't under his command. Lei Xingfeng said happily, "Very good, that's great. Does this mean that they have the ability to act independently?"
Jing Ziya said, "Yes, you can give them orders, and they can carry them out. If the order is not canceled, they will continue to carry it out. For example, they will guard this place. If you give them orders and give them authority, they will carry them out without hesitation until … their energy is exhausted."
Lei Xingfeng nodded. He ordered the gold-tier puppets to sleep temporarily and then put them into the Mirror Realm.
Jin Daya said excitedly, "With so many assistants, A Feng, your strength has improved a lot."
Lei Xingfeng asked, "Do you … have a place to store cultivation techniques or something like that?"
Jing Ziya said, "Yes."
Lei Xingfeng was overjoyed. "Can you take us there?"
Jing Ziya shook her head and said, "I can't. I don't have enough authority. I can't enter."
Lei Xingfeng was dumbfounded. He didn't want to give up. "What will happen if I force my way in?"
Jing Ziya said, "You will be destroyed. You are too weak. You won't be able to survive if you go in. Well, I think … there may not be any cultivation techniques you need inside."
Lei Xingfeng asked, "Why?"
Jing Ziya said, "You are of the thunder attribute? There shouldn't be any cultivation technique of this attribute. Even if there is, it would only be a superficial cultivation technique. Although Karam's Garden is considered a powerful sect, it isn't the most special. I remember that there is a sect that specializes in the lightning attribute. It is very small but its strength is extremely shocking. "
Lei Xingfeng asked, "Where is it?"
Jing Ziya said, "They usually don't have a fixed base because they have to chase after thunder and lightning. Well, let me think …"
Lei Xingfeng stared at her nervously. After a while, Jing Ziya said, "I remember a place called the Magnetic Storm Mountain. That is the place where thunder attribute cultivators like to live."
Magnetic Storm Mountain?
Lei Xingfeng asked hopefully, "Where is it? Where is this Magnetic Storm Mountain? "
Jing Ziya said, "It's very far. I don't know how to get there. Well, it shouldn't be possible in a short time. If you must find it, I can accompany you. But I can't guarantee that I can find it, and it will be very dangerous."
Lei Xingfeng said, "No matter how dangerous it is, I have to go."
Jing Ziya nodded and said, "As long as you give the order, I will take you there."
Lei Xingfeng said happily, "Thank you very much."
Jing Ziya said indifferently, "You are the master. You make the decision."
Jin Daya said, "What other places are there to store treasures?"
Jing Ziya said, "This is the sect's secret storage room for storing crystals. There are other places, but I don't know if there are any crystals."
Jin Daya said, "Let's go and take a look. It's best if there are some, but there is no loss if there aren't."
Jing Ziya looked at Lei Xingfeng.
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Well, let's go and take a look. It will be best if there are some, but if not, I won't be disappointed."
Jing Ziya said, "Then come with me." It felt good to have someone to lead the way.
Through the secret door, they went to several secret rooms hidden deep underground. To Lei Xingfeng and Jin Daya's disappointment, there was nothing in the secret rooms. They cleaned them up and found a few more Venerable Strongmen. Lei Xingfeng had collected a total of 26 gold-level puppets, which were 26 Venerable Strongmen.
After returning to the surface, Jing Ziya took Lei Xingfeng to the other two towers to collect four Venerable Strongmen and some Sky Divination Crystals.
The people who were released searched the ruins for a few days, but they didn't find anything valuable. In the Karam Garden, there were a few places that Jing Ziya couldn't enter, and she didn't dare to take Lei Xingfeng there. According to her, those places were very dangerous and important to the sect. Even if Jing Ziya had high authority, she still couldn't enter.
Lei Xingfeng was quite satisfied with this harvest, especially with Jing Ziya. This harvest was great. Jing Ziya's strength was one thing, but most importantly, she knew a lot of things about the past.
It had been ten days since they returned to the camp. Lei Xingfeng had been studying the stack of Star Python Records. These weren't cultivation techniques, but all kinds of records. Some were about the terrain, some were about resources, and some were about the sect.
Lei Xingfeng studied for a while, but didn't find what he needed. Of course, he wasn't disappointed. He just collected them as information. If he didn't get Jing Ziya, he might be disappointed, but with Jing Ziya, this information wasn't very important.
Jing Ziya placed the records in Lei Xingfeng's residence in the Mirror Realm. Jin Daya, Tiger Love, and Mad Eagle accompanied Lei Xingfeng in the camp.
Other than eating, the four of them took turns to go back to the Mirror Realm. The rest of the time, they were in the camp.
On this day, someone came to report that the founder had returned.
Lei Xingfeng brought Jin Daya, Mad Eagle, and Tiger Love to the camp outside.
Wu Yang was sitting on a chair, his face extremely pale. Lei Xingfeng saw him and asked in surprise, "Founder, what's wrong?"
It was Lei Xingfeng's first time seeing Wu Yang like this. It was obvious that he was injured.
Wu Yang smiled bitterly and said, "I was too impatient. A Feng, don't worry. I was unlucky this time. I was trapped in a forbidden area and almost couldn't get out. Fortunately, I brought some medicine. You don't have to worry too much."
Lei Xingfeng relaxed a little. Wu Yang was very important to them. Their secret sect depended on Wu Yang. If Wu Yang was in danger, their secret sect would instantly become a third-rate secret sect. They would lose a lot of power. This was something the secret sect couldn't accept.
Wu Yang said, "Of course, this trip wasn't without benefits. At least, I found my own way to advance." He smiled with relief.
Lei Xingfeng said happily, "Founder, can you advance to Dao Lord?"
Wu Yang nodded and said, "Yes, I'm almost done with my preparations. I plan to return to the Dawn Continent. A Feng, do you want to go back with me?"
Lei Xingfeng said, "Founder, I still want to stay here. However, I can't be the camp's supervisor. Let Senior Brother Xin Zhaolun take over."
Wu Yang thought for a moment and said, "Do you plan to explore by yourself?"
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "I want to give it a try."
Wu Yang said, "Okay, but you have to promise me that you won't be rash and impatient. Also, you can't go to the forbidden area. You can't handle it there."
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Yes, I won't go to the forbidden area. This world is very big. There should be many places that aren't forbidden."
Wu Yang said, "It's not just forbidden areas that are dangerous. The wilderness is also very dangerous."
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, "I have a lot of gold-grade puppets. They're enough to protect me."
Wu Yang nodded and said, "It's because you have a lot of gold-grade puppets that I agreed to let you go. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous for you to go to the wilderness. Moreover, no one would come to save you."
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Yes, I won't go to the forbidden area. I'll just look for some materials in the wilderness." In fact, he was preparing to look for the Magnetic Storm Mountain Range to see if he had a chance to advance. He needed a large amount of natural lightning. Moreover, he had already prepared all the materials for his advancement.
Wu Yang said, "I'll be leaving today. Since you don't care about the camp, I'll call your Senior Brother."
Lei Xingfeng agreed.
Wu Yang then left the camp and returned to the Dawn Continent through the secret door.
Three days later, Xin Zhaolun rushed over. He found Lei Xingfeng and complained, "Junior Brother, even if you ask your Senior Brothers and Sisters to guard the camp, you can't recommend me to the founder!"
