Over the years, the Great Thunder Spirit has lived quite comfortably in the Sword and Saber Sect. Only a few elders of the same generation as Jian Hengshan know of its existence. None of these people are meddlesome or greedy. None of them have ever coveted it, nor have they revealed its existence to others.
At first, the Great Thunder Spirit stayed in the Sword and Saber Sect all day long. Once the Thunder Pool stabilized, no one stopped it from going out to play.
The Great Thunder Spirit quickly floated away. It told Jian Hengshan that creating such a thunder pool was no easy feat, and that what it owed Jian Hengshan before could now be fully repaid. From now on, it would be returning to freedom, and Jian Hengshan could not stop it.
Jian Hengshan didn't intend to stop it; after sending it a few sword energies, he let it leave.
The Great Thunder Spirit wandered around for several years, pondering how to find its child while searching for rare and precious materials, hoping to give them to its child when it found it, so that the child could become an independent Thunder Spirit as soon as possible.
Although it can raise a new clone, it has already raised the previous one for many years and has developed an attachment to it, so it is reluctant to replace it.
One day, just as it found a patch of lightning spirit ore and was about to dig it out, it encountered a group of cultivators who had also found the same vein. Not only did they want to steal its ore, but they also wanted to take it for themselves – truly terrifying!
The leader was an exceptionally powerful cultivator, carrying a special Heavenly Net for capturing various spiritual creatures; the Great Thunder Spirit was almost caught by him.
Fortunately, the sword energy that Jian Hengshan provided came in handy at the crucial moment. Da Leiling used that sword energy to cut several lines on the Heavenly Net of Spirit Binding and took the opportunity to escape.
After that, it fled all the way back to the Sword and Saber Sect and stayed obediently in the Thunder Pool to recuperate.
Jian Hengshan was somewhat surprised to see it return, but didn't ask any further questions. When Da Leiling wanted to go out again to find something good for its cub, it shamelessly went to Jian Hengshan again to ask for sword energy.
Jian Hengshan was not stingy with his gifts and even gave it a few more sword energies, which moved it deeply and made it feel that this person was trustworthy.
After that, Da Leiling's life became fixed. When he wanted to go out and play, he would ask Jian Hengshan for sword energy. When he was tired of playing, he would come back and soak in the Thunder Pool to recuperate.
Sometimes it would take on small jobs to enhance the tempering of a few disciples favored by the sect, and the sect would give it a good reward afterward.
Da Lei Ling thought that the Sword and Blade Sect was a great place to retire. He wished his little one could come and retire with him, but unfortunately, his little one had already been contracted by someone else.
The Great Thunder Spirit patted its cub, then looked at Si Er and asked, "What do you intend to do with this little cub after making a contract with it? Are you going to use lightning to temper its body at any time?"
“No, that’s not it.” Si Er shook his head. “I don’t have a hobby of electrocuting myself.”
While this is common in the cultivation world, on Earth, self-electrocution is probably a very niche hobby.
"I just have a slight collecting habit."
As Si Er spoke, he released a group of his little furballs.
The Great Thunder Spirit was stunned by his actions. It looked at the row of small fur balls in astonishment and said, "How did you collect all of this? You're only missing one Golden Spirit Clone and one Ice Spirit Clone to complete it?"
"I have an Ice Spirit Clone."
Yu Beixuan also released his little black fur ball.
The Great Thunder Spirit was even more shocked: "No? You're telling me this is an Ice Spirit clone? Shouldn't something this black be a Coal Spirit clone?"
Little Lei Ling asked curiously, "Mother, can coal have a life of its own?"
Great Thunder Spirit: "Although I've never seen or heard of it before, the world is full of wonders, and this one really does look like it!"
Yu Beixuan said speechlessly, "This is the Ice Spirit Avatar. I just fed it some poison, so it's now a poisoned Ice Spirit Avatar."
The Great Thunder Spirit retreated instantly, feeling that Yu Beixuan was a poisonous person, and rather terrifying.
