Youth Song: Leijiabao Thunder Emperor

"This guy truly deserves to be called the number one genius in Beili; his comprehension is unmatched by anyone else."

"This Green Snake Sword Intent was learned even faster than Sister Hanyi's."

As Lei Dong stepped into the cabin, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Uh, that's not what you just said. I think what you said just now really hurt him."

Xie Xuan sat down, looking at Lei Dong speechlessly. "You've practically driven the child to despair, and now you're telling me this?"

"If he can't even get over this setback, he might as well be crippled. I thought four years of hardship would give him some insight."

I never expected him to get so cocky after mastering just one sword technique. I'm speechless.

I think he's been having too much fun lately and gotten carried away.

"Master, how well did Brother Xiao comprehend the sword technique just now?"

Mu Chunfeng, who was pouring tea for the two, overheard their conversation and couldn't help but ask tentatively.

"Not so good. What's the point of fusing sword intent?"

His fusion technique is just as powerful as the two sword techniques used individually.

What do you think of his fusion?

"Oh. I understand, Master."

Hearing Lei Dong's words, Mu Chunfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He listened for a long time but still didn't understand. If Xiao Se succeeded in one go, wouldn't that mean he's useless?

"Oh what? Although he didn't fuse the two sword intents very well, he did indeed comprehend both of them."

Your talent is far inferior to his.

Seeing Mu Chunfeng's appearance, Lei Dong rolled his eyes at him.

Seeing Lei Dong's disgusted expression, Mu Chunfeng looked aggrieved.

"Master, am I really that bad?"

"It's okay, we won't compare ourselves to them."

You specialize in one sword technique; the "Two Green Snakes" technique is out of the question. If you can comprehend the Great River Sword Intent, becoming a sword immortal won't be difficult.

If not, then study medicine diligently under Hua Jin's guidance.

"Master, I'm going to comprehend the sword intent now."

After Mu Chunfeng finished speaking, she poured a cup of tea for each of them and then ran off.

"You really like this kid."

"He's quite an interesting person."

I just wanted to make friends, but it ended up like this.

Since they've called me "Master" for so long, I can't let them call me that for nothing.

"The sword intent of the Great River paves the way, and Medicine King Valley provides the safety net. He's truly lucky to have met you; such an opportunity is extremely rare."

Hearing Lei Dong's words, Xie Xuan was filled with admiration.

"Even if he's incredibly talented, I might not be interested in him. The main thing is that I like his personality."

While the two of them chatted and drank tea, the others outside were putting in their best effort. They started rolling around.

Life on the ship was really boring. Before they knew it, more than half a month had passed, and they finally landed on Three Snake Island.

For the better part of the past month, Lei Dong either sat at the bow of the boat watching the sea or instructed a few people in martial arts. It can be said that each of them gained something.

As for catching snakes, how could Mu Chunfeng's master possibly handle such a matter personally?

Lei Wujie and the others went to help, while Lei Dong naturally stayed on the boat to enjoy the snake soup.

It must be said that Lei Wujie does have some talent. He is already using the Two Green Snakes in his sleeves quite well, and now he is starting to study the Thunder and Fire Twin Snakes.

Xiao Se's swordsmanship has also improved rapidly. Although he is far inferior to Sikong Qianluo in terms of skill level, Sikong Qianluo really can't do anything to him for the time being.

The one who has made the most progress is Tang Lian. He spends his days either drinking and bragging with everyone or watching the sea with Lei Dong.

I don't know how, but somehow I ended up in the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Realm.

Good heavens, Lei Dong and Xie Xuan were both stunned.

This is worthy of his title as the senior disciple of Snow Moon City.

What left Lei Dong speechless the most was Mu Chunfeng, who still hadn't grasped the Great River Sword Intent, but whose medical skills had improved rapidly.

When Hua Jin first asked Hua Jin to become his apprentice, he refused to accept him no matter what.

As a result, they quickly lost themselves in Mu Chunfeng's repeated calls of "Uncle-Master Hua Jin".

A daily study plan has been set up for Mu Chunfeng, and Mu Chunfeng is happy to study.

With one willing to teach and the other willing to learn, Lei Dong was left out of the picture. Since he hadn't formally accepted any disciples, he could let Hua Jin do as he pleased.

……

With the help of Hua Jin and Tang Lian, the snake-catching mission went very smoothly. As they were about to part ways, Mu Chunfeng suggested going to Penglai Island with everyone.

Lei Dong had no objection to this and nodded in agreement.

"Master, I can really go to Penglai Island with you, that's wonderful! Thank you, Master, I'll go make preparations right away."

"You can come along, but are you sure there won't be any problems on the ship?"

"Of course there's no problem. With you and Senior Confucian Sword Immortal here, what problem could there be?"

Moreover, I trust Butler Tian completely; it doesn't matter whether he's here or not.

Upon hearing Lei Dong's words, Mu Chunfeng immediately made a promise.

"Let's do it together then."

Approaching numerous hidden reefs near Penglai Island, the longboat carrying the group for a while longer dared not proceed any further before they switched to a smaller boat.

A sudden wind picked up at night, and the tide rose and fell on the reefs, causing the small boat to be constantly tossed about by the waves, making it difficult to move forward.

"What's going on? Is this the undercurrent the book talks about?"

Hua Jin huddled up next to Lei Dong, asking somewhat fearfully.

"There are reefs below us. The seawater flows through the reefs, creating currents. Stabilize the boat and use your inner strength to push it forward."

As soon as Lei Dong spoke, the group seemed to have found their leader and immediately followed his instructions, using their internal energy to propel the small boat forward.

To train the group, Lei Dong and Xie Xuan protected Hua Jin and Ye Ruoyi.

The others did not interfere. They allowed the few individuals to demonstrate their abilities and navigate out of the undercurrents on their own.

After drifting for a night, the group of people lay sprawled on the boat like salted fish, letting the small boat drift aimlessly.

"We've arrived."

Upon hearing Lei Dong's words, everyone immediately scrambled to their feet and followed his gaze. Ahead lay a cloud of mist, within which an island appeared and disappeared.

"..."

"Lei Dong, are you sure this is Penglai Island?"

Hua Jin looked at Lei Dong with a puzzled expression after hearing his words.

"Isn't this Three Snake Island? Have we drifted back here?"

Lei Wujie was equally puzzled.

"Wait a moment."

Ye Ruoyi carefully examined the mist, then suddenly spoke and walked to the bow of the boat.

Looking at the increasingly prominent Three Snake Island, he frowned slightly, extended his right hand, and spoke softly.

"Disperse."

As she finished speaking, the thick fog in front of her seemed to tremble slightly, and the Three Snake Island, which had been faintly visible, vanished completely.

"What's going on?"

Upon seeing Ye Ruoyi's abilities, Lei Wujie immediately pressed for details.

"It's a mirage."

Xiao Se said calmly.

"Ancient books record that in the sea off Dengzhou, there are often clouds that resemble palaces, pavilions, city walls, figures, carriages, horses, and canopies, which are clearly visible. This is called a mirage."

Some say it is "the breath of a dragon-like creature." It is said that this is formed from the breath of a monstrous dragon-like creature, and if one enters it, one enters the mouth of that creature.

Lei Wujie was clearly stunned.

"That's so strange."

Seeing Lei Wujie's bewildered expression, Ye Ruoyi began to explain to him.

"Mirages sometimes recreate scenes from the past, and sometimes they appear thousands of miles away in advance."

Seeing everyone staring blankly and guessing wildly, Lei Dong couldn't help but speak up.

"This is an illusion array; Penglai Island is located within it."
