The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Bathed in thunder and lightning, Xu Zhiyu finally woke up.

More than a year has passed since I drilled under the dark clouds and took the initiative to endure the lightning strike.

He himself couldn't remember how many times he had been struck by lightning during such a long period of time.

At the beginning, he was still conscious and felt the thunder hitting his body, and there was some numbness, but as time went on, the numbness disappeared, and was replaced by supreme enjoyment.

As the power of thunder weakened, he suddenly came out of this state and then woke up completely.

Staring at his surroundings and concentrating himself, Xu Zhiyu was surprised to find that he had unknowingly appeared in the dark clouds. Looking around, there were thick clouds and lightning arcs flying wildly and dazzlingly in all directions.

"How did I get here without realizing it? I don't know how much time has passed. It really feels like a dream!"

After saying this, he rolled over and was about to get out of the clouds, but he felt as if something had changed in his body, so he began to look inward with his spiritual consciousness.

But you don’t know it by looking at it, you will be shocked when you look at it.

At this moment, the tendons and veins throughout his body not only became more than twice as thick, but the surface seemed to be coated with a layer of silver film.

However, if you look carefully, you will find that these silver films are actually composed of tiny silver-white electric arcs.

The biggest change was actually in the golden elixir in his dantian. In addition to increasing in size, its color also changed.

The color of the golden elixir of ordinary cultivators is basically golden yellow. Of course, there may be slight differences due to different cultivation methods.

Xu Zhiyu's previous golden elixir was of this color, dazzling, but now it turned into a dark purple, looking extremely evil, and there were black lightning arcs surrounding it, which looked weird no matter how you looked at it.

Before he knew whether what was happening to him was good or bad, Xu Zhiyu suddenly didn't want to go anywhere, so he hid in the clouds and began to look through the Yin-Yang Thunder Control Art that he was practicing.

He hoped to find out the reason for this change in himself, but to his disappointment, he spent a lot of time and still didn't find much useful information.

There is just this sentence at the end of the exercise.

“Those monks who are born with thunder bodies may experience strange changes when practicing this technique, but the specific details of these changes are not something we can know.

Because it is hard to say whether such monks born with thunder bodies actually exist in the world. The monks with thunder spirit roots known now can only be regarded as thunder spirit bodies, and are far from meeting the standard of a natural thunder body. "

Seeing this, Xu Zhiyu also understood that he might be born with a thunder body, and he was the one who could not predict changes. This made him happy but also a little worried.

"Never mind, since we can't figure it out for now, let's just ignore it. There are still many things to do, and it's not a good idea to stay here all the time.

Although I didn’t find the Thunder Stone on this trip, I accidentally entered this dark cloud layer, which actually increased my cultivation by a level, saving me many years of hard training, which can be considered an unexpected surprise.”

That’s right, in the past year or so, Xu Zhiyu has unknowingly broken through a level of cultivation and become a second-level Jindan cultivator.

This change is not big, but it is not small either.

Because for an average Jindan cultivator, it would take at least eighty to ninety years or even hundreds of years to break through a level of cultivation. It is hard to say how long it would take. There are also cultivators who are stuck at one level for their entire lives and cannot break through.

But Xu Zhiyu is different. He now has innate thunder spiritual roots. His cultivation speed is more than dozens of times faster than that of ordinary people. What's more, the technique he practices seems to be tailor-made for him.

Under normal circumstances, in the early stages of the Golden Core stage, it takes about ten years to break through a level of cultivation. Now, it has been nearly ten years since he broke through the Golden Core stage, and breaking through a level of cultivation does not seem to be worth celebrating.

Thinking of this, he didn't think any more and flew directly out of the clouds and was about to land on the ground.

Fan Yunbai, who was secretly observing from thousands of miles away, naturally also saw this scene.

I only heard her mutter to herself:
"This guy has finally woken up from that weird state. I was really scared when I suddenly saw him heading into the clouds!

Now that he's out, it seems he's ready to leave here.

He and I just met by chance, and I should have left by now. It seems a bit inappropriate to approach him rashly now. I'd better hide aside and wait and see!"

After saying this, Fan Yunbai's figure instantly disappeared from the spot, and no one knew where she went.

Xu Zhiyu naturally knew nothing about all this, but now he seemed to have no time to think about anything else.

Because he discovered something incredibly miraculous.

It turned out that just now, after he flew out of the clouds, he stopped in the void to observe.

What is he observing? Naturally, he is observing whether the game of lightning stone will continue after he absorbs some of the thunder power in the clouds.

Facts proved that his worries were not unnecessary. After standing in the void for more than an hour, not a single bolt of lightning fell.

Originally, there should be about eight or nine in such a long time.

"Ha, I didn't expect that my unintentional act would cause the Thunder Stone to disappear from the world of immortal cultivation. In this case, don't I become a sinner?

No, I have to leave here quickly, otherwise it would be disastrous if other cultivators found out about this and reported it to the Shenxiao Sect.

The Thunder Stone is an indispensable item for refining various lightning-attributed magical treasures. If I really let them know that it was me and prevented the incident of the stone being struck by lightning from happening again here, they would have to hunt me down all over the world of immortal cultivation.

By then, let alone staying in Zuzhou, even staying in Xuanzhou will be a problem."

Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyu had made up his mind to escape from here immediately.

But before leaving, he planned to take some stones from the ground below the dark clouds and take them back for research.

Because he found that although these stones were not high-end materials, they were extremely hard and could form thunder stones after being struck by lightning, which made him very interested.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his right hand, and the next moment, a stone the size of a head appeared in his hand. Just as he was about to take a closer look, something strange happened to the stone.

I saw a flash of lightning in the center of his palm, and it suddenly drilled into the stone, and then instantly turned into powder and floated away.

“Yohoo, it seems that the power of thunder was unwilling to be lonely after being absorbed by me, and it released it unconsciously after seeing the stone. It is really amazing.”

After exclaiming in surprise, he took six or seven stones in succession and started playing with them as if he had got a new toy.

"It's fun, but it's a pity that I can't turn these ordinary stones into Thunder Stones." After playing it a few times, he gradually got bored. He took the last stone and was ready to end the game, while complaining.

But what happened next shocked him completely. As he thought about it, he thought that this stone would not escape the fate of being turned into powder.

Unexpectedly, a change happened. The originally ordinary stone, after being baptized by the thunder in his body, turned into a thunder stone with blue light and flashing electric arcs.

"Fuck, what's going on?"

Xu Zhiyu was stunned at first, then he swore. He was indeed shocked by what was happening before his eyes.

In order to verify what he thought in his mind, he began to pick up stones continuously, and then prayed like making a wish. He unexpectedly found that the Thunder Stones, which were originally difficult to form, appeared one by one in his hands, with a success rate of up to 60%.

In this way, he continued to conduct experiments again and again as if tirelessly, and only stopped when he felt that the thunder power in his body was a little insufficient.

"Hehe, now I'm rich. If I sell all of these hundreds of Thunder Stones to the Divine Sky Sect, I'll get at least several million mid-grade spirit stones, right?"

Xu Zhiyu understood that he would never be short of Thunder Stones in the future, and he could also make a fortune.

Therefore, before leaving the Cang Lei Plain, he put a lot of ordinary stones into his storage ring, waiting for his free time to turn them into Lei Ming Stones one by one.

It was difficult to come here, but it was much easier to get out. One day half a month later, his figure appeared on the edge of the misty swamp.

He looked back at the place where he had stayed for a year and flew away resolutely.

Now that the last material, the Thunder Stone, has been obtained, the matter of refining the magic weapon should be put on the agenda. This was something he had decided before leaving the Cang Lei Plain.

However, refining one's own magic weapon is extraordinary and one must find a safe and quiet place to do it.

He initially chose Tiandu Market as the location. It was a large market place, so he didn't need to worry too much about safety issues. If he wanted to have some quiet time, it was also very simple. He could just spend some spirit stones to rent a fourth-tier cave.

After sorting out his thoughts, the power of thunder and lightning burst out from Xu Zhiyu's body, and his speed of escape suddenly increased, heading towards Tiandu Market.

But before he could fly far, suddenly a dishevelled figure rushed towards him from the front left. Seeing that he was about to hit it if he continued flying, Xu Zhiyu simply stopped.

Because he knew the person who came, it was Fan Yunbai who had given him guidance in the Cang Lei Plain.

"Fan Daoist, you are running away in such a hurry, but what danger did you encounter?"

Looking at the female cultivator who was getting closer and closer, he transmitted his voice.

"Friend Xu, why are you here? Get out of here quickly. When I was passing by the sea ahead, I accidentally fell into a formation set up by someone else. After a desperate fight, I managed to escape.

They are still chasing you, run away quickly."

Xu Zhiyu was indifferent to what he said, but asked curiously:

"Fellow Daoist is a late Jindan cultivator. He is brave enough to attack you. There must be no Yuanying cultivator in the other camp, right?"

As for why he didn't run away, that is very easy to explain. It's because he was not afraid. With his current strength, he was confident that he could escape with his life even in the hands of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

It turned out that the thunder he had absorbed in the dark clouds before was not ordinary lightning power, but was somewhat similar to the thunder that cultivators had to endure when breaking through to a higher level.

The power of the thunder plus the thunder magic power he has cultivated himself, when the two are combined, the power is more than ten times stronger than before. This is also the source of his greatest confidence.

He now very much hoped that there was a Nascent Soul cultivator among the pursuers, so that he could show his skills and test his true strength.

Fan Yunbai thought his calm expression was as if he was frightened, but he still patiently explained:
“Among the four pursuers behind us, there is no Nascent Soul cultivator.

But there are two fake infant monks, and two like me, all of whom are late Jindan monks. Don’t just stand there stupidly, run!
Otherwise it would be too late. They are only a few dozen miles away from me and they caught up with me while we were talking."

As if to verify what she said, as soon as Fan Yunbai finished speaking, four Jindan cultivators appeared in front and behind and surrounded the two of them.

"Run, why don't you run? Weren't you able to run just now?"

A scarred monk said viciously.

"Kid, you have nothing to do here. If you don't want to die, get out of here. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you live."

A monk with a mustache standing on the left spoke to Xu Zhiyu.

"Aren't you afraid that after I leave, I will report your men's robbery and murder of monks to Tiandu Market? This is their jurisdiction. Aren't you afraid?"

"Haha, are you afraid? If you are really afraid, why would we bother doing this? What happened to Tiandu Market?
So what if he is a God-transforming Venerable? The emperor is far away here, and they can’t intervene even if they want to, not to mention that they may not intervene. "

"Stop talking so much nonsense. Are you going to leave or not? If not, then stay and be buried with her!"

Looking at the few robbery cultivators who kept on beeping but refused to take action, Xu Zhiyu lost his patience to argue with them.

"Stop making noise. Since you guys won't do anything, then I will."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhiyu soared into the sky, then waved his hands forward quickly, and in an instant, countless arrows transformed from thunder shot out from his palms.

When they first left his body, they were only as thick as cow hair, but as they got farther and farther away from the people, these arrows became like the trunk of a giant tree with its branches cut off, and they flew straight towards the four people.

When they saw this, their faces changed drastically. They vaguely felt a strong sense of danger from the incoming giant arrows.

"Not good, this person is extremely powerful, we are no match for him, retreat quickly."

An eighth-level Jindan cultivator thought he could not withstand the attack, so he shouted loudly and planned to escape.

However, the attack launched by Xu Zhiyu was far from easy to dodge.

Because it is controlled by spiritual consciousness, once it sets its sights on a target, it will never let the other party leave easily.

In addition, the speed of thunder spells was extremely fast. Before the opponent could run far, he was pierced through the body by dozens of thunder arrows.

When he was about to die, he didn't even make a sound, and was directly smashed into dust by the thunder that contained the elements of thunder. He suffered the same fate as those stones that did not turn into thunder stones. (End of this chapter)
