Although this magical artifact is only a fifth-grade artifact, it possesses excellent defensive capabilities.

“Senior, we will protect you!” Lei Xiaoyun said.

"No need, you can simply meditate and replenish your inner energy," Ye Feng said calmly.

“But this is the wilderness, and there’s a chance of encountering monsters. Moreover, refining true qi will emit very obvious fluctuations, which would be more likely to attract monsters,” Lei Xiaoyun added.

"It's alright. If the demonic beasts come, I might even be able to obtain materials for refining weapons," Ye Feng said with a smile.

Seeing Ye Feng's confidence, Lei Xiaoyun said no more and sat down on the ground with Lei Manhe, meditating with his palms facing upwards to recover his true energy.

Ye Feng placed his hands on the refining furnace, and his true energy surged into it.

As a result, high-temperature flames were generated inside the furnace, and the incandescent white flames burned fiercely inside the furnace.

Even through the thick furnace body, Lei Xiaoyun and Lei Manhe could feel the astonishing heat emanating from the refining furnace.

With a slap of his right hand, Ye Feng sent the stove lid flying off.

Then Ye Feng put the refining materials into the furnace one by one, and the last one to be put in was naturally the damaged fifth-grade spiritual weapon.

Clang!

The furnace lid closed, and the fifth-grade spiritual weapon and the refining materials began to tumble in the refining path.

Ye Feng focused intently on refining the weapon, his hand gestures constantly changing.

Lei Xiaoyun and Lei Manhe were meditating and practicing their internal energy, but now their attention was drawn to the hand seals in Ye Feng's hands, and they stared at them intently.

Even Lei Ling kept staring at Ye Feng.

More than an hour had passed before they realized it, and the weapon forging had reached a crucial stage.

Ye Feng waved his hands, casting spell after spell into the furnace, imprinting them onto the unformed spiritual weapon within.

But at that moment, a beast's roar suddenly rang out.

"Sure enough, some demonic beasts have been attracted here!" Lei Xiaoyun shouted.

The next moment, a completely black monster came galloping from afar, its target being Ye Feng!

The monster looked like a leopard magnified several times. Its jet-black fur, white paws, and bright red eyes terrified Lei Xiaoyun and Lei Manhe!

"That's a seventh-tier demonic beast, the Black Cloud Water-Treading Beast!" Lei Xiaoyun shouted.

Lei Xiaoyun and Lei Manhe were only martial artists at the mid-stage of the Separation and Union Realm; they were no match for the Black Cloud Water Beast.

And Lei Ling goes without saying.

As the Black Cloud Water-Treading Beast approached, it opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Ye Feng. Moreover, black smoke swirled around the Black Cloud Water-Treading Beast's mouth, which was its innate divine ability.

However, at that moment, Ye Feng casually struck out with his palm.

A massive handprint formed from lightning struck the Black Cloud Water Beast, not only sending it flying but also causing a loud explosion!

The Black Cloud Water Beast instantly turned into a charred, smoking corpse, with its four legs blown to pieces.

When the thunder subsided, silence returned to the surroundings.

Lei Xiaoyun and Lei Manhe were stunned into silence, their hearts nearly stopping.

"So...so strong! A seventh-tier demon beast was actually killed by this senior with a single palm strike. Just what is this senior's strength? Divine Travel Realm? No, I'm afraid he's more than just the Divine Travel Realm!" Lei Xiaoyun couldn't help but exclaim.

Lei Manhe also said in shock, "And that palm strike was also a lightning-attribute technique... Wait, why does that palm strike look so familiar!"

Lei Ling's expression was very serious, and her eyes revealed a knowing look.

"This senior is Lei Aotian! The founder of our Thunder and Lightning Manor!"

"The martial art he just used was clearly the Thundercloud Palm from our Thunder and Lightning Manor!"

Lei Ling said solemnly.

Lei Xiaoyun was startled and quickly said, "What? That martial art is Thundercloud Palm? But I also know Thundercloud Palm, and my Thundercloud Palm definitely doesn't have this much power!"

“Isn’t that obvious? How can your Thundercloud Palm compare to that senior’s Thundercloud Palm?” Lei Manhe said.

Lei Ling nodded and slowly said, "We no longer need to doubt it. This senior is indeed our ancestor Lei Aotian! Although we don't know why he concealed his identity and refused to admit that he is our ancestor Lei Aotian, he is definitely, absolutely!"

"Then what do we do?" Lei Xiaoyun asked again.

"Whatever orders or arrangements the Ancestral Master may have, we will follow them. If he is unwilling to acknowledge his identity, then we will pretend not to know. In any case, he is not our enemy!" Lei Ling said seriously.

Lei Ling is clearly just a little girl under ten years old, but now she acts like an old woman, exuding a maturity that is inconsistent with her age.

Perhaps it was because she had experienced the dramatic rise and fall of Thunderfall Manor that she was able to act so maturely.

Ye Feng overheard Lei Ling's conversation with Lei Xiaoyun and Lei Manhe.

Ye Feng was now at a loss for words, both laughing and crying.

It seems that his identity as Lei Aotian, the founder of Thunderfall Manor, is now confirmed, and there's no point in trying to explain anymore.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng didn't know what to say.

The weapon forging is finally over.

Ye Feng slapped his right hand, and the furnace lid flew off. A blue lightning bolt shot out from the furnace and swirled rapidly around Ye Feng.

"Big! Big! Big!"

The night wind blew three times in succession, and the bolt of lightning rapidly expanded.

Once the lightning that had been swirling around dissipated, a giant shuttle appeared before Nightwind.

Ye Feng casually put away the furnace, then smiled and looked at Lei Ling, Lei Xiaoyun, and Lei Manhe, saying, "This is the sixth-grade spiritual weapon, the Thunder Light Shuttle, that I crafted. It can carry people and fly, and it also has very good defensive capabilities, capable of withstanding attacks from martial artists in the Divine Travel Realm."

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Lei Ling, Lei Xiaoyun, and Lei Manhe were all shocked.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot, come on up."

"Night Wind said, and took the lead in stepping onto the Lightning Shuttle."

"Yes, Grandmaster... no, senior."

Lei Ling clasped her hands in a salute, then led Lei Xiaoyun and Lei Manhe onto the Lightning Shuttle and sat down inside.

"rise!"

Ye Feng raised his right hand and made a hand seal. The lightning shuttle immediately took off and headed towards Ming Le City.

The lightning shuttle was very fast, so the oncoming wind was extremely strong.

However, the lightning bolts surrounding the Lightning Shuttle acted like a shield, firmly blocking the gale from the outside, so the inside of the Lightning Shuttle was actually quite calm.

"What an amazing magical artifact!" Lei Xiaoyun exclaimed.

Lei Manhe also looked on with surprise, looking around like a country bumpkin visiting the city.

"Grandmaster... no, senior, thank you for saving me." Lei Ling looked at Ye Feng with gratitude.

Night Wind sighed, shook his head, and said seriously, "I'm not lying to you. I'm really not your ancestor. I'm only in my twenties."
