Chapter 598 Preparation
"Yes." Lao said with a smile.

"What?" Li Chuan turned his head to look at him.

"The sound of thunder is the sound of human wizards casting spells." Lao said with a smile.

"How do you know?" Li Chuan asked.

"Feel it." Lao said with a smile.

Li Chuan turned his head, closed his eyes, and said, "I'm going to sleep."

"In ancient times, there was no Xuanmen and no cultivators. The monsters there were much larger than the half-demons we see today..." Lao Xiaokai said in a rambling manner.

Li Chuan became impatient and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"I was just thinking that the spells cast by human wizards back then must have been different from the spells used by monks today." Lao Xiaokai also lay down and said, "Have you thought of anything?"

"If you have something to say, say it. Otherwise, don't say it." Li Chuan said.

"French style," Lao said with a smile.

"Do you think so?" Li Chuan asked with half closed eyes.

"Yeah." Lao said with a smile.

"You said before that the French were borrowing the power of the heroes, so whose power were they borrowing?" Li Chuan asked.

"The heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, the mountains and the rivers... maybe in ancient times, all the power could be borrowed." Lao Xiaokai said.

"Wait." Li Chuan sat up again, and suddenly he was so strong that the medicine he had just drunk came back up. He swallowed it again, then took out Mingheng's notes and said, "Take a look at this. Is there anything similar to the formula or spell?"

Lao Xiaokai also stood up. He took the notebook, flipped through a few pages, and handed it back, saying, "I don't understand. What is this?"

"This is the note left by the previous generation of the "Wen Jing" inheritor." Li Chuan said. After putting away the note, he lay down again and said, "Can you use the method for me? I have known you for such a long time, but I have never seen you use it before."

"You'll see when it's time to use it," Lao said with a smile.

"Is the hero still here?" Li Chuan asked.

"Here I am."

A dreamless night.

The next day, Li Chuan was still awakened by the banging sound.

He stood up, walked out of the room, and told the Xun clan guard who was standing not far away that he wanted to see the spiritual master. About a cup of tea later, the spiritual master came over.

"Did you sleep well last night?" asked the spiritual master.

"It's OK." Then, Li Chuan told the spiritual master about his plan, "I want to do some experiments today. I need an open place and a few half-demons. Except for the Xun Clan and the Yu Clan, it would be best if one or two people from the other three clans come."

"As for the Ruiling tribe, that may not work," said the spiritual master.

"Then let's talk about the other two tribes." Li Chuan said.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." said the spiritual master.

After the spiritual master left, Li Chuan went to look for Wen Guying and Jiang Mei, but found that they were not in the house. Gong Er and Pang San were not there either. After asking the guards nearby, the guards told him: "They did not come back last night."

"Where are they?" Li Chuan asked.

"They should still be at the Sun and Moon Altar. That's where they practiced swordplay yesterday," said the guard.

"Can you take me there?" Li Chuan asked
"Okay." Then the guard took Li Chuan and Lao Xiao towards the southwest corner of the house and stopped when they reached an open and flat place.

There they were.

The third person next to him was sitting cross-legged, his face pale and his eyes closed.

Gong Er stood beside him, looking somewhat worried, while Wen Guying and Jiang Mei stood a little further away.

Jiang Mei was the first to notice the arrival of Li Chuan and the others. He looked at them and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Li Chuan walked over quickly, stood still and said, "I plan to do some experiments today. I have asked the spiritual master for some people. Now I still need that ghost light. I need you and Master Wen to protect me."

"Okay." Jiang Mei said.

"What's wrong with third brother?" Li Chuan asked.

"Epiphany, the benefits gained after breaking through the bottleneck." Wen Gu should answer.

"How long has it been? Why do I feel like he's in pain?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying said: "Affected by the white night, it is now daybreak, and I guess he will wake up in a while."

Jiang Mei explained it in more detail. He said, "Before the White Night came yesterday, Junior Brother Gong and Junior Brother Pang were practicing against each other, and Junior Brother Pang suddenly had a breakthrough. Gu Ying and I discussed and decided not to disturb him and let him wake up on his own. So we set up a barrier around him to minimize the impact of the White Night on him."

Wen Guying said, "I saw that you were too tired yesterday, so I didn't tell you in detail. It's not a big deal."

"I'm glad you're okay." Li Chuan said.

"The sword that Third Brother swung earlier released a lot of sword energy." Gong Er walked to Li Chuan's side, "Look at the sword mark on the ground, it was caused by Third Brother's sword."

As Li Chuan spoke, he looked in the direction Gong Er pointed, and sure enough, he saw a clear sword mark.

"That's pretty impressive." said Li Chuan.

"Yes, luckily I dodged quickly." Gong Er said: "Senior Brother Wen said that my third brother has officially entered the Xuanmen."

"You will too." said Li Chuan.

Gong Er said, "I'll practice more, don't worry, big brother."

"I'm not in a hurry." Li Chuan said, "Tell me in detail how my third brother made the breakthrough."

So Gong Er began to describe it vividly.

"We were practicing the moves, and suddenly my third brother said that he felt the move wasn't working well, so he wanted to change it. So he changed it, and we practiced it a few more times. I felt it was about right, and the white night was coming soon, so I wanted to tell my third brother to end it."

"He ignored me and practiced harder and harder. I felt something was wrong and wondered if he had gone insane. Then, I felt something rushing towards me. I quickly flew over and turned around to see a deep scratch on the ground."

"After using that sword, Third Brother stopped, and then he became like this. Senior Brother Wen said that he was experiencing an epiphany."

……

"You are here? I have brought all the people here." A mellow and slightly hoarse voice sounded behind Li Chuan.

Li Chuan turned his head and saw the spiritual master leading four half-demons walking towards them. One of them wore a mask, one wore shackles, one was the half-demons from the Xun clan whom he had met yesterday, and the last one was Yu Chen.

The spiritual master glanced at Pang San who was in a state of enlightenment and asked, "Are you planning to stay here, or go somewhere else?"

"Right here." Wen Guying said.

The spiritual master looked at Li Chuan, and Li Chuan also said, "Let's go here." Then he looked at the half-demons wearing masks and shackles and asked, "These two should be the half-demons of the Ruoshui and the Xi tribes, right?"

"I'm from the Ruoshui tribe." said the masked half-demon.

"I am from the Microhyli tribe." said the shackled half-demon.

The spiritual master explained: "They all live in Songdu and volunteered to participate in your experiment."

"Then let's get started." Li Chuan looked around and pointed to a place with scattered stones in front of him and said, "Let's go over there. Taoist Jiang, let's go over there. Taoist Wen, please look after my third brother."
