Chapter 166 Behind the Scenes
Zheng Fa was walking in the market town, making his last big purchase before entering the forbidden area.
The information in the jade tube that Uncle Pang gave him was extremely detailed, and some of the words could even be heard from Uncle Pang's own voice - this showed that Uncle Pang did not just lie down and play games, but had already been to the forbidden area.
According to Uncle Pang, the Thunder Pond is the place where the laws of heaven and earth change.
In other words, Lei Chi and other places in Xuanwei Realm have different rules.
According to what the jade tube said, there are three biggest differences: First, the power of thunder magic has greatly increased, and the power of non-thunder magic has weakened a lot. Uncle Pang has a guess in the jade tube - he has observed with the Dongxu Spirit Eye that the spiritual energy properties near the thunder pool are different from other places. This may be because of the Thunder Dao Heavenly Monument.
But on the other hand, performing thunder magic is also more dangerous. As far as talismans are concerned, thunder talismans are the most unstable type, and it is even more dangerous in a pool of thunder.
If you are not careful, the thunder you cause will kill you.
The last part is the most troublesome one - it targets the spiritual consciousness.
According to the jade tube, once a spiritual consciousness above the foundation-building stage is exposed in the thunder pool, it will attract a thunder disaster - like a human lightning rod.
Similarly, because spiritual power contains divine consciousness, excessive spiritual power will also be punished.
This resulted in high-level monks being severely restricted in the Thunder Pool.
Uncle Pang concluded in the jade tube: "In the Thunder Pool, cultivators above the Golden Core stage are certainly restricted, but cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage are actually more worried about their lives... According to my observation, those who can survive in the Thunder Pool for a long time must be people who hide their talents and act in a low-key manner."
Zheng Fa partially agreed with Uncle Pang's words -
When spiritual awareness is limited, the possibility of being ambushed increases greatly, so there will definitely be people who try to use this environment to eliminate their enemies.
On the other hand, Lei Chi is like a fire extinguisher, it will destroy anyone who is arrogant.
He entered the forbidden zone only to use it to train himself, being low-key is indeed the way to go.
Zheng Fa first bought many necessary elixirs: Ningyuan Pills, which were reserved for condensing Yuanfu.
Bigu Pills. Zheng Fa seldom took this kind of pills before, but there were no spiritual grains in the Thunder Pool, so he had to make do with it.
There is also the Qi-enhancing Pill, which is a kind of elixir for the Qi Refining Stage - its effect is very simple, supplying spiritual energy and increasing cultivation.
In this era, buying energy-enhancing pills for cultivation is a luxury.
This pill is not expensive, one spirit stone can buy three pills... Well, it's a bit expensive.
But Zheng Fa was also considered an absolute wealthy man among the Qi Refining disciples. In the past few months, he had not only the income from the sale of talismans by Han Qi and the other two, but also the share of the income from the drama, as well as the salary as the manager of the market town.
Even after deducting the expenses for cultivation, he had accumulated more than one hundred spirit stones.
But if you practice with Qi-enhancing Pills, you only need one pill a day, which means ten spirit stones a month.
Zheng Fa bought enough for a month at once, and still felt quite distressed.
After buying the elixir, Zheng Fa came to Baibaolou, a magic tool shop opened by Zhongyue Sect of Baixian League.
Chongyue Sect is also one of the top nine sects of the Baixian League, and is well-known in the Baixian League for making magical instruments.
Of course, compared to other magic weapon shops, the prices of the magic weapons in this shop are worthy of its reputation...
There is a large empty space in the middle of the first floor of Baibao Building.
There are three small boats in the middle.
There was a circle of monks surrounding them. They were all looking at the three boats, pointing and talking. They all looked very excited, but few placed an order.
The guys in the store were not in a hurry. They just stood there with a smile on their faces, not shouting, and seemed not to be afraid that people would not buy.
They are indeed not afraid of not being able to sell.
This small boat is called Du'e Boat and is extremely popular in Lei Chi Market.
Zheng Fa came here also for this boat to cross the river.
The Du'e Boat is a yellow-grade magical weapon. According to the classification of the Xuanwei Realm, the levels of magical weapons can be roughly divided into four grades: heaven, earth, black, and yellow. Above these four grades are also magical treasures and spiritual treasures.
As a yellow-grade magical instrument, the function of the Deliverance Boat is relatively simple—
Have certain mobility.
It also has certain protective capabilities.
In the Five Dragons Palace, he is not even considered a younger brother.
But this magic weapon has an advantage - it has relatively strong protection against thunder magic, and its control only requires the cultivation level of the Qi Refining Stage.
Therefore, the Du'e Boat is very popular in the Lei Chi Market.
Even the prices have gone up.
Zheng Fa heard that in other markets, this boat for crossing the sea of suffering only cost about fifty spirit stones.
But here - seventy spirit stones!
Chongxuan Sect is really cruel! After buying the elixir, Zheng Fa only had 70 Lingshi left.
Zheng Fa was reluctant to give up the frugal habits he had developed since childhood.
But this thing is related to his safety in the forbidden area, so Zheng Fa made up his mind.
He looked at the monks around him and did not take action immediately. Instead, he walked outside the store and found Senior Brother Yang who was patrolling in the market town and asked him to help him order one.
"Junior brother, what are you doing?"
"Brother, after all, I am only practicing Qi..."
Zheng Fa explained to Senior Brother Yang that he wanted to keep a low profile. Senior Brother Yang was at the foundation-building stage, so even though taking out dozens of spirit stones was a lot of money, it wouldn't cause any big trouble.
"Junior brother, your temper..." Senior Brother Yang paused, as if looking for a gentle adjective: "It's quite unlike Senior Sister Zhang!"
Zheng Fa translated it in his mind: You are such a coward! Soon, Senior Brother Yang booked a boat for the journey in Baibao Tower.
Zheng Fa saw with his own eyes that when he went in, he looked a little bit like he was meddling in other people's business.
When he came out, he was smiling happily.
Many female cultivators followed behind him, stuffing sachets and handkerchiefs at him...
When he handed the Du'e Boat to Zheng Fa, he still had a bit of the smell of powder on his body and a silly smile on his face.
"Junior brother, if you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, come to me again!"
Senior Brother Yang said attentively.
"Brother..." Zheng Fa watched him put the sachets and handkerchiefs into the storage bag one by one, and couldn't help but remind him: "These women who came here for the spirit stones may have bad intentions."
"It's okay. I don't have any good intentions." Senior Brother Yang waved his hand.
"?"
"Besides, I have no money!"
Zheng Fa couldn't help but bow, and actually felt that this senior brother was quite wise.
…
Only after entering the Thunder Pool did Zheng Fa understand why the Deliverance Boat was so popular.
He had seen scenes of shipwrecks in modern videos: dark clouds covered the sky, strong winds whipped up waves, and people in the midst of it not only felt helpless, but also felt that they were the only one in the world, which added to the despair.
Now, this is the scene before Zheng Fa's eyes.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The thunderclouds in the sky are already depressing.
The waves under the boat were surging. Upon closer inspection, the white waves were actually flashes of lightning, and the blue rapids were also like thunder snakes.
If there was no boat for crossing the river, Zheng Fa would have to use his body to withstand the rolling thunder.
Although he had practiced the "Five Thunder Body" and had a strong resistance, facing these things with his physical body would inevitably consume his mind.
But with the Du'e Boat, most of the thunder boats can be blocked, which makes his life much easier.
For a moment, he actually felt that the seventy spirit stones were worth it...
Especially when he saw others scrambling to deal with the thunder coming from all directions, he couldn't help feeling a sense of satisfaction.
Zheng Fa followed the map given by Senior Sister Zhang and slowly moved forward in the minefield.
There was a silver light flashing in his eyes as he used the "Dongxu Spirit Eye" to observe the situation around him.
Once there is any conflict, he will stay away from it - just like what Zheng Fa thought before, there are quite a few conflicts in Lei Chi, and people are fighting everywhere.
After walking in the thunder pool for seven or eight days, there was a disturbance of spiritual energy in the "Dongxu Spirit Eye", as if someone was fighting.
Zheng Faben wanted to drive the boat away.
But there were a few familiar black shadows, which made Zheng Fa stop the bow of the boat and look in that direction with a frown. After a long time, he slowly drove the boat forward.
Those black shadows just now were someone casting the Heavenly Demon Absolute Shadow...
This is the unique skill of the Great Freedom Demon Sect, and Zheng Fa has seen it on Lin Bufan.
Senior Sister Zhang disappeared during the battle with the Great Freedom Demon Sect.
Zheng Fa approached slowly, and with the help of his "Dongxu Spiritual Eye", he could see the two conflicting parties from a very far distance.
On one side are those people who cast the Heavenly Demon's Absolute Shadow, they should be disciples of the Great Freedom Demon Sect.
Zheng Fa also knew the other party - the disciple from Tianhe Sect.
He stood alone in the void, facing several people alone, with a faint smile on his face.
It seems that they don't care about the numerical disadvantage.
What concerned Zheng Fa was that there was a third party in the field that neither party had noticed.
A person was lurking outside the spiritual consciousness of this group of people, also looking towards the conflict between the two parties, and his gaze mostly stayed on the disciples of the Great Freedom Demon Sect.
Looking at the back, this person is actually an acquaintance—
Chen Ting, the former disciple of the Nine Mountains Sect, the former undercover of the Great Freedom Demon Sect, and the favorite of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
Seeing him staring at those disciples of the Great Freedom Demon Sect, ready to attack at any time, Zheng Fa inexplicably thought of Uncle Pang's teachings...
My master really has a good eye for talent.
He could tell at once that Chen Ting had inherited the true teachings of Uncle Pang! Thinking of this, he could not help but stop behind Chen Ting and watch the development of the situation on the field.
"From the Great Freedom Demon Sect?" The Tianhe Sect disciple spoke up: "You have been cowards for tens of thousands of years, and you dare to ambush me here today?"
"...We are hunting down other people, not ambushing you."
The disciples of the Great Freedom Demon Sect looked at each other and actually started to explain.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa couldn't help but look at Chen Ting again.
"It's okay. Today I will follow the example of my master, slay demons and monsters, and clear up the world!" However, the disciple of Tianhe Sect didn't seem to care about the explanations of these people, and a broadsword appeared in his hand.
Those disciples of the Great Freedom Demon Sect could only be on high alert.
If we were to say who has the deepest hatred for the Demon Sect, the Tianhe Sect would definitely be at the top of the list.
I've gotten used to it!
Zheng Fa saw that Chen Ting's shoulders relaxed a little, as if he felt that his plan to divert trouble had succeeded.
The broadsword in front of the Tianhe Sect disciple turned into a ray of azure rainbow light that shot up into the sky, slashing straight towards the people from the Great Freedom Demon Sect from above his head.
A black cloud appeared faintly above the heads of those people. A demon with a blurred face in the cloud stretched out his hands, trying to block the sword light.
Unexpectedly, the sword light suddenly flashed and slashed towards Chen Ting.
"How dare you, a villain, plot against me?"
The demon above those people's heads raised his arms, looking a little dazed.
Chen Ting... was even more dumbfounded.
Zheng Fa...Zheng Fa hid even further away.
There are so many tricks in the Xuanwei world! (End of this chapter)
