Chapter 31: The Book-Traveling Girl Succeeds As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, several people...
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, several people appeared one after another.
Lei Hong, Xu Anruo, Wan Moxiao, Zhong Lingyue, and Zhong Xinyue were in different conditions, some good and some bad. The worst one was Lei Hong, who was the most seriously injured. There was a big hole in his chest, and his clothes were covered in blood. He looked particularly miserable.
But he looked exceptionally calm, even with a hint of joy in his eyes, which made it clear that this battle would bring not only injuries, but also good opportunities.
In contrast to him, Xu Anruo was clean all over, with a slightly messy hair, but still as beautiful as a picture. She supported him with a worried look on her face, her eyes full of guilt and admiration.
Lei Hong shook her hand and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"How could you be okay?" Xu Anruo's eyes were red, and her voice was filled with tears. "If you hadn't saved me, you wouldn't have been injured so badly."
"You are my cousin, it is my duty to save you," Lei Hong said seriously.
The two of them, one comforting and the other feeling distressed, completely ignored the other people in the hall.
Lei Xiao coughed lightly and took out a bottle of pills. "This is the best medicine for healing. You should treat your injuries first."
Lei Hong looked up at him, then lowered his head to hide the complicated emotions in his eyes, "Thank you, brother."
He didn't know how to face this elder brother who was a gifted child.
The other party is the young master of the Lei family, and he is also the legitimate son and grandson. He has a noble status and is outstanding. He is an illegitimate child with an ugly birth.
The other person has been shining since childhood, loved and admired by everyone.
However, he has been stuck at the bottom of society. If he had not been lucky enough to eat the Bu Tian Zhi fruit, he would still be a beggar.
To be honest, he had envied and jealous of this eldest brother, but he was also the best person to him in the Lei family except An Ruo.
He was given the best spiritual plants to nourish and repair his body, so that in his future practice, he would not suffer from the suffering he suffered in his childhood, his physical fitness would not be up to standard, and his foundation would not be unstable. He was also given the same treatment as himself.
Although she was not particularly caring towards him, she made careful arrangements for everything and did not mind his illegitimate status at all.
Lei Xiao naturally didn't know what he was thinking, and if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart.
He is the young master of the Lei family, and the education he received since childhood has been family-oriented.
Whether he is an illegitimate child or not is not important at all. Lei Hong's thunder spirit root is enough for him to be given the best treatment and trained to become one of the future pillars of the Lei family.
Even if he does not have the blood of the Lei family, if he is willing to marry a girl from the Lei family and become a son-in-law of the Lei family, it is not impossible for him to learn the Lei family's heirloom martial arts "Chao Yuan Lei Jue".
The aristocratic families did not care as much about the legal status as he imagined. What they valued was talent and strength.
As for why there are so few illegitimate sons born in the ten great families other than legitimate sons, it is because the legitimate sons of the noble families mostly marry women with high talents, and the difference in strength between the two sides is not big. If you dare to mess around, they can divorce you directly.
Moreover, preserving the Yuan Yang and Yuan Yin before the stage of distraction is beneficial to cultivation.
After entering the Spirit Severing Stage, he and his wife naturally have to give birth to a son or daughter with extraordinary talents. Because both parties have to divide their spirit and soul to raise the child, they have no time to fool around outside.
For the sake of the family, the more talented children the better. Therefore, most of the people in the distraction period stay in the cave and honestly raise children.
After this stage, fertility drops sharply. It cannot be said that it is completely gone, but it is difficult to conceive a child again.
The appearance of Lei Hong was neither unexpected nor surprising. In fact, the head of the Lei family had more than one illegitimate son, but he was the only one with such a good talent.
The head of the Lei family has a Nine Yang Body, which is a physique that is very suitable for practicing the "Chao Yuan Lei Jue". His practice is simply twice the result with half the effort. He is the most powerful genius of his generation.
However, the Nine Yang Body has a drawback. When cultivated to a certain level, there will be an excess of Yang energy, resulting in a lack of Yin energy.
The so-called balance of yin and yang means that yin cannot produce anything alone and yang cannot grow alone. Both are indispensable. Too much yang is not a good thing. It can easily block the meridians, cause spiritual energy to riot, and ultimately hurt others and yourself.
The best solution is to practice dual cultivation with the Tianyin body.
It is not a matter between men and women, but a set of dual cultivation techniques. During practice, the spiritual powers influence each other and help each other.
Wei Yanyi has the body of Tianyin and is also the legitimate daughter of the Wei family. Therefore, after discussion between the two families, they were engaged early on. From then on, they needed to practice together every once in a while.
But perhaps the two of them came into contact too early and no romantic feelings developed. On the contrary, they seemed to dislike each other.
But that set of dual cultivation techniques did allow their cultivation to rise rapidly. Wei Yanyi valued his own cultivation, so naturally he would not refuse this fast and efficient way to improve his strength.
So they discussed that they would get married and after the distraction period, as long as they gave birth to a child with good talents, they would no longer have children. In this way, each of them would have fulfilled their obligations and would live their own lives except for the necessary time for dual cultivation.
Their first child, Lei Xiao, had the spiritual root of thunder, which perfectly met the requirements, so there was naturally no need to have another one.
Without the promise to his wife, the head of the Lei family did not compromise himself and had many romantic affairs, but even if the woman he liked gave birth to a child, he would not bring the child into the house unless the child had good talent and could be a helper.
Unfortunately, Lei Hong was the only child with enough talent to be accepted by the Lei family. As for the others, even though he felt sorry for them, he could only provide them with some resources to support them.
In Lei Xiao's view, Lei Hong is not the product of his father's betrayal of his mother, but the future fighting force of his Lei family, nothing more.
As the young master of the Lei family, of course you have to consider the Lei family more, cultivate talents, and enhance the family's influence.
As one of the only two people with thunder spiritual roots in this generation, Lei Hong is naturally the one who needs to be cultivated the most. As for whether he is an illegitimate child or not, it doesn’t matter at all!
Therefore, he accepted Lei Hong's existence without any hesitation and devoted all his efforts to allocate resources to train him.
All of this seemed particularly glorious in Lei Hong's eyes, making him feel very complicated. He couldn't tell whether he felt envy, jealousy, or perhaps even respect.
The legitimate heir raised by a large family has his own ability to convince people. He is not petty and will not be jealous of others' talents.
Lei Hong silently took the medicine bottle, poured out the pills inside, swallowed them, and then closed his eyes and meditated.
Lei Xiao asked Xu Anruo, "What happened? Why are you so embarrassed?"
Xu Anruo had nothing to hide when the young master asked, so he told them everything, "After we entered the cave, we were initially assigned to different places. I fought against the puppets for several days, and my cultivation improved. I was planning to continue fighting, but the puppet that appeared turned out to be in the Foundation Establishment stage."
"Foundation Establishment Stage?" Lei Xiao was puzzled.
Mu Yuan and Wei Mubai looked over at the same time, deep thought flashing in their eyes.
"Yes, I'm only at the seventh level of Qi training, so I was no match for it. I immediately tore open the teleportation talisman and planned to leave, but I ended up being teleported to my cousin. He was battling three Qi training puppets that had reached the Great Perfection stage, so I rushed over to help him."
After Lei Hong returned to the Lei family, he obtained many resources for cultivation, including those for cleansing his essence and marrow, as well as those for improving his qualifications.
Lei Xiao was not stingy and helped him with everything, which was almost the same treatment Xu Hui received from Wei Mubai.
He is worthy of being the male protagonist. The first time he came into contact with the martial arts, he fell into a state of enlightenment and directly broke through to the third level of Qi training.
After practicing for a few days, he even reached the later stage of Qi training. This was certainly due to the residual effect of the Bu Tian Zhi, but more importantly, it was because of his extraordinary comprehension, strong understanding of the skills, and excellent talent.
Therefore, in a short period of time, he had already reached the eighth level of Qi training.
In addition, Lei Ling is very suitable for challenging higher-level opponents. When dealing with the puppet that has reached the great perfection of weapon refining, he found it a bit difficult at the beginning, but soon he became able to handle it with ease.
He didn't need Xu Anruo's help. On the contrary, perhaps it was her appearance that brought those puppets in the Foundation Establishment Stage with her. She appeared silently and delivered a fatal blow directly from behind Xu Anruo.
Lei Hong noticed it in advance, but it was too late. He could only protect Xu Anruo with his body.
Afterwards, he even risked being seriously injured and killed the Foundation Establishment Stage puppet, but there was nothing he could do about the remaining Qi Condensation Stage puppet. Its spiritual power was exhausted and it could only wait to die.
Xu Anruo was knocked away after only a few moves.
At the critical moment of life and death for the two, Wan Moxiao suddenly appeared, blocked the three puppets, and let them leave first to find a safe place to heal their wounds.
"Then what?" Lei Xiao frowned slightly, worried about Wan Moxiao's situation.
Lei Xiao inherited the Nine Yang Body from the head of the Lei family, while Wan Moxiao was the most suitable Tian Yin Body for him. Their family backgrounds and talents were very suitable, and the two could be described as a match made in heaven.
Unlike his parents, he was quite satisfied with his fiancée and worried that something might happen to her.
Xu Anruo shook her head slightly, "She asked us to leave first. If she couldn't hold on, she would use the thunder talisman you gave her."
This is not a regular talisman. It seals the power of thunder and lightning on a talisman and can be thrown out when used.
Lei Xiao is a Jindan stage cultivator. The thunder talisman he gave to Wan Moxiao is extremely powerful and can easily deal with several Qi Refining stage puppets.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Moxiao appeared, looking relaxed. Seeing Lei Xiao, he smiled widely, "I just found this on the puppet. I'm giving it to you."
Lei Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was fine. He took it with a smile and said, "Thank you. What is it?"
"A substitute puppet!" Wan Moxiao announced happily. He glanced at Lei Hong and saw that he was just meditating with no unusual expression. He felt relieved and said excitedly, "I didn't expect that there would be such a treasure hidden inside the puppet. I was just curious about the structure of the puppet and wanted to take it apart to take a look. I didn't expect it to contain such a secret."
Not at all!
Xu Hui woke up from her coma, sat up, and looked at the palm-sized puppet in Lei Xiao's hand. It was exactly the same as the one described in the book.
At first glance, it looks very rough, like a novice carpenter's poor quality work, with no facial features, and nothing else except the head and limbs.
Even if a cultivator had seen something like this before, they would not have thought it was a treasure and would have simply passed it by.
But who made Lei Hong the male lead?
In the original text, he risked his life to kill the Foundation Establishment puppet, but was immediately hit by the Qi Condensation puppet, which fell on the puppet, smashing it into pieces and revealing the small puppet.
It happened that he was injured, and his blood dripped onto the little puppet, which immediately recognized its master.
Three Qi Refining Stage Great Perfection puppets attacked. The small puppets grew up quickly and looked very similar to Lei Hong. They could also launch the same attacks as Lei Hong.
With the ability to resist the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is not a problem for him to defeat three Qi Training Great Perfection Stage people. In this way, the little puppet killed them and saved Lei Hong.
Through the contract, Lei Hong knew that this was a substitute puppet. In addition to having the same strength as him, it could also save his life when he was on the verge of death.
This puppet helped him a lot and even helped him seize a great opportunity. It was one of the protagonist's strongest golden fingers in the early stage.
Now, it has been snatched away by Wan Moxiao. "Hurry up and pledge your loyalty by dropping blood on it," she urged.
Xu Hui saw Lei Hong's fingers move, as if he was about to do something, and then slowly clenched them.
Could it be that this is Qiyunzi's special sense of the opportunity that belongs to him?
So what will he do, take it back?
The protagonist of this male-oriented article is not a kind-hearted man. On the contrary, he is cruel and ruthless, and only shows kindness to a few people.
