Zhong Geng's eldest disciple, Wu Zhen, a hundred Lun master, almost able to advance to thousand Lun master. He was Zhong Geng's proudest disciple, only 28 years old today, with the hope of breaking through to thousand Lun master at 30 years old. Reaching thousand Lun master at this age also meant that in this lifetime, he had a high chance of stepping into the Mill Wheel Master realm. A Mill Wheel Master, in a remote place, could definitely be called a tyrant.
Wu Zhen and his master discussed for half the night yesterday, and the only conclusion they came up with was to try their best to get on good terms with the other party. With Lei Xingfeng this kind of youth, as long as they didn't anger him, he shouldn't harm them. And what made them feel most at ease was that this kind of genius would definitely not stay in this place for a long time, this place should only be his temporary residence. In other words, he wouldn't be a threat to their local power.
Therefore, Wu Zhen came early in the morning to invite him.
Lei Xingfeng didn't refuse, and brought Zhou Xin along. As for Uncle Zhou Tong, he wasn't willing to go, for an honest person to socialize with others, it was a difficult thing.
The reason why he brought Zhou Xin along was because Lei Xingfeng had his own thoughts. He knew that he couldn't stay here for long, and letting Zhou Xin get to know Zhong Geng, this kind of powerful local snake, would be beneficial for Zhou Xin's future development.
Following the pier, they returned to the market.
The early morning water market was extremely beautiful, with a light mist, a few water birds leisurely flew by, and the soft sound of water, all the houses seemed to be floating on the water. The wooden streets already had many people setting up stalls, all of them were small food stalls. Beside the wooden streets was a waterway, and small boats rowed past. After entering the market, the noise hit them straight in the face.
Wu Zhen laughed: "This market is the most lively place near the water, other places rarely have so many people gathered together to live. When the rainy season comes, there will be even more people."
Lei Xingfeng said: "Rainy season?"
Wu Zhen said, "Yes, the rainy season is not suitable for fishing far away. The fishermen will gather here, especially in the two months when the rain is the heaviest. At that time, almost all the fishermen will come back to avoid the storm."
Lei Xingfeng was not very familiar with the local climate. He used to live in the mountains, where there was a warm season and a cold season. Unlike here, there were also two seasons, the rainy season and the dry season. During the dry season, large amounts of land would appear. During the rainy season, the land would be filled with water. The land that was previously exposed would be submerged again, forming large swamps and lakes. Therefore, the locals were fishermen and did not live on land.
Along the way, the three of them soon arrived at the residential area behind the market, which was filled with floating wooden houses.
Wu Zhen whistled and a small boat came over. A sturdy fisherman said, "Young Master." After greeting them, he stopped the boat and waited for the three people to board.
The three of them boarded the boat and sat down. The fisherman said, "Sit tight." As he spoke, he used his strength to push the boat with the bamboo pole. Only then did he use the oars to paddle along the waterway.
After a while, they came to an independent water yard. There was a large wooden platform. Zhou Xin shouted: "Brother Lei, look, the scaly crocodile is up there!"
On the platform, a huge scaly crocodile crocodile was already divided into several sections. Its skin was also cut open. A huge fish head was erected on the platform, and the teeth in its mouth were exposed. Each of them was the size of a palm and glowed with a faint white light, like jade.
Zhou Xin was really curious. After getting on the platform, he ran over to take a look. Wu Zhen immediately ordered people to follow him, in case someone bumped into the child. He now knew that Lei Xingfeng was extraordinarily good to Zhou Xin. He ordered people to follow Zhou Xin, and he personally accompanied Lei Xingfeng into the room.
Lei Xingfeng noticed that the rooms here were very exquisite. It was completely different from the houses in the market. The houses in the market were rough and simple, enough to meet the needs of living. However, the houses here were much more exquisite. There were carved doors and windows, and the roof was covered with glazed tiles. It was the same on the roof ridge. A string of wind chimes hung from the high eaves, making a crisp sound with the breeze.
The huge pillars made of logs were carved with all kinds of aquatic beasts. The planks on the floor were extremely thick. When one stepped on them, one would know that it was completely different from the planks on the streets of the market. The planks on the streets of the market would make creaking sounds when one stepped on them. However, there was no sound at all here. One could imagine how much material was used. With Zhong Geng's strength, in a small place like this, he would definitely be a rich man.
There were carved railings and painted rafters, exquisite carpets, and light muslin fluttering in the wind. In the corners of the corridor, there were all kinds of green plants and flowers. There were many ordinary servants. When they saw Wu Zhen, they immediately saluted and called him Young Master.
Lei Xingfeng couldn't help but sigh. He was a Mill Wheel Master, but he had never been treated like this. Before he started cultivating, he even had to worry about three meals. After he started cultivating, he had to fight non-stop. He didn't know how much more experience he had than this Young Master. However, when it came to the quality of life, he couldn't compare to Wu Zhen.
The largest house was in the middle of the courtyard. After passing through several corridors, they arrived at the central house. It was a large house with open walls. Due to the warm climate here, whether it was the rainy season or the dry season, the climate was very warm. Therefore, many rich people's rooms were open on all four sides. They only used light muslin to prevent mosquitoes from invading. This room was more than three hundred square meters. There were only ten or so huge pillars supporting it, and a large amount of green plants were placed around it.
Lei Xingfeng couldn't help but praise, "It's a very good building." He was also someone who had seen a lot. Although this building was unusually beautiful, his expression was very indifferent.
Wu Zhen nodded to himself. Only someone who had seen a lot would have such an expression. He had seen many local rich people. When they entered this place, they were all stunned. Zhong Geng came out to greet them. He smiled and said, "Welcome, haha. It's a little simple." He said politely.
Lei Xingfeng said, "It's already very good."
Behind Zhong Geng was Han Xiao Bao. As for Tian Dabin, he didn't even appear. Yesterday, Tian Dabin's performance had disappointed him. If not for the fact that the Tian family had a lot of influence in this place, he would have immediately chased this guy away.
The four of them sat down. A servant served breakfast. Lei Xingfeng said, "Bring some to my little brother."
Zhong Geng ordered. Immediately, a servant went to the platform to serve Zhou Xin breakfast.
Breakfast was very sumptuous. There was rice, porridge, all kinds of fried fish, and many pickled vegetables. Lei Xingfeng didn't recognize many of them. They were all local specialties. The taste was quite good. He was very satisfied with this meal.
After breakfast, Zhong Geng began to probe Lei Xingfeng. He hoped to know which sect Lei Xingfeng was from and why he came to this remote place.
Lei Xingfeng obviously wouldn't tell the truth. He simply said that it was the sect's request. He came here to train for a period of time. There was no special purpose.
Although Zhong Geng was skeptical, he was relieved. He could see that Lei Xingfeng didn't have any bad intentions. Disciples going out to train was something that all sects did. Any sect's disciples would go out to train. There were all kinds of reasons and all kinds of strange training. He didn't doubt this at all.
Han Xiao Bao didn't say anything. She looked curiously at Lei Xingfeng. She couldn't understand how such a young person could cultivate better than her master. Mill Wheel Master, that was an extremely powerful existence. Until now, she had only seen one Mill Wheel Master. He was at least seventy or eighty years old. He was really arrogant. She didn't expect that a youth could cultivate to become a Mill Wheel Master. She really didn't know how this person cultivated.
Zhong Geng said, "Brother Lei, since you came here to train, you can stay here in the future. It's more comfortable than staying on the ship."
Lei Xingfeng flatly refused. He didn't want to stay here. It was inconvenient for him to cultivate. He said, "There's no need. I'll stay on the ship. However, I have something to trouble Mr. Zhong."
Zhong Geng said, "Please say it. As long as I can help, there will be no problem."
Lei Xingfeng said, "I need a boat. Yes, I can pay for it." He considered that if the rainy season came, he would need to go out to train. Thunderstorms were the golden season for him to train. He needed to quickly improve his strength here. This meant that he had to go out alone. He couldn't trouble Uncle Zhou. Moreover, it was very dangerous to go out in the rain, especially during thunderstorms. Uncle Zhou was an ordinary person. He couldn't withstand lightning.
Zhong Geng said in surprise, "You want to buy a boat … Uh, no problem. I have one here. I'll give it to you. Yes, do you need a servant?"
Lei Xingfeng said, "No need to give it to me. I'll buy it. I don't need a servant."
Zhong Geng said with a smile, "It's just a boat. You really don't need to buy it. Hehe, boats aren't worth much here."
XinFeng thought for a while and decided to let it go. To him, a small boat was nothing, he wasn't a normal person. He nodded, "Alright, then I'll thank you." Thanking was a must.
Zhong Geng smiled. He was very satisfied with Lei Xingfeng's attitude. He immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare a good boat.
After talking with Zhong Geng, Lei Xingfeng got a lot of information. This was something he couldn't get from Uncle Zhou. This place was indeed very remote. It was a small corner of Wansee Continent. It was said that after walking for half a year, one could reach Barbarian Gathering Continent. That was where Lei Xingfeng came from. And from here to the center of Wansee Continent, it was at least a decade away. Of course, if a practitioner used the ancient Lun channel, it wouldn't take that long.
Compared to Barbarian Gathering Continent, Wansee Continent was much more lively. Not only were there more cities, there were also more practitioners. Even if it was a remote place, there were still many practitioners. But this world was too big. In a small place, even if there were practitioners, there wouldn't be many of them. And their levels would be relatively low. A Wan Lun Shi or even a Thousand Lun Master would be enough to control a place.
Many practitioners who had no hope of advancing would choose to return to their hometowns or find a remote place to become a local tycoon. Occupying a place was enough to develop a small family.
Zhong Geng said, "Brother Lei, are you free these few days?"
Lei Xingfeng said, "What's up?"
Zhong Geng smiled, "Yes, it's a good thing."
