Chapter 110: Monster Stream? Another Disciple - Three Leaves! Disciple Struck by Thunder! (Part 1)
"Next, while recovering, continue creating the technique."
"And also..."
"I should return for a while."
"Wait for a couple of days first."
"At most, a day or two. The people from the Thunder Mountain Range should have dispersed by then."
After running a considerable distance, Lu Ming found an uninhabited area and casually set up an isolation formation. He then sat cross-legged within it, took a pill, and began to heal his injuries.
Due to the short time, the aftereffects of the Nine Transformations of Immortal Fire were not significant.
However, the damage caused by the burst-type pill to his meridians was very evident and couldn't be ignored.
...
Two days later.
Lu Ming stealthily returned to the Thunder Mountain Range and navigated through it according to his memory.
Subsequently, he stopped at the 108th mountain.
Amidst the dim and predominantly grayish-black Thunder Mountain Range, the tiny patch of emerald green stood out, appearing somewhat 'discordant'.
It was just an ordinary weed.
If it were outside, it would be seen everywhere.
But within the 'Weakling Forbidden Zone' of the Thunder Mountain Range, it was the only one of its kind.
As far as the eye could see, there was only this bit of green.
Previously, when Lu Ming passed by, he had noticed it, but due to time constraints, he hadn't examined or researched it. Afterward, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss.
When something unusual happens, there's a reason behind it.
Logically, such a weed shouldn't be able to survive in the Thunder Mountain Range.
Was it just lucky?
If it had such luck, then it must be extraordinary!
Luck is also a part of one's strength.
Otherwise, in such a vast Thunder Mountain Range, why is there only this one weed?
"Someone should have discovered it too."
"But..."
"No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary weed, so..."
"No one cares?"
"Speaking of which, I can't see any clues at all." Lu Ming stared intently at it, and his divine sense carefully probed, but he still couldn't find any differences.
Whether observed with the naked eye or probed with divine sense, it was just an ordinary weed, as ordinary as it could be.
However, precisely because of this, Lu Ming felt it was not simple.
Just relying on this luck...
With the ability to avoid the thunderbolts, it's not ordinary!
"Moreover, if my memory serves me right, there was a time when the 'Monster Stream' was popular in novels, right? There were all sorts of strange protagonists, including..."
"A weed!"
Before his rebirth, he had read numerous novels.
There were demons, ghosts, cats, dogs, lions, tigers, and he had even read one with a 'mayfly' as the protagonist!
Weeds...
He seemed to have seen them too.
Even if he hadn't, wasn't there also the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass in 'Perfect'?
A weed that could slay the sun, moon, and stars!
"I'm getting sidetracked."
"But even if it only has a 'luck' bonus, I must take it with me."
Lu Ming smiled.
As a gaming expert, he fully understood the importance of the 'luck' attribute.
Just the fact that the thunderbolts avoided it is enough to prove its value.
"But my intuition tells me, you're not that simple."
Lu Ming slowly approached, muttering, "Moreover, if everything dangerous avoids you, how would you react to my presence?"
He got closer.
Even closer.
Lu Ming lifted his foot and then slowly lowered it...
Thud.
He pretended to pass by, and his foot happened to step on the weed, without pausing, he continued to take another step.
The weed was crushed underfoot, sticking close to the ground.
But...
Lu Ming revealed a smile.
"Oh?"
He had been keeping his divine sense fully open, observing this weed!
And at this moment.
The weed, which had never shown any signs of being extraordinary, finally changed.
"There's an emotional fluctuation!"
"A weed without any cultivation base actually has spirit sentience?!"
The spirit sentience was too weak.
Lu Ming couldn't confirm if it was contemplating or perhaps cursing him.
But as long as he could confirm it had spirit sentience, it was enough to prove its extraordinariness.
A weed by the roadside was too humble.
Its innate talent was almost zero.
Any weed capable of developing spirit sentience was not ordinary, and one with spirit sentience despite having no cultivation base, and could even conceal itself, was definitely extraordinary!
If he hadn't given it a kick, it might still be pretending!
But...
Was it destined to be similar to the 'Nine-Leaf Sword Grass' template?
Or was it the monster stream protagonist template?
Nevertheless.
"I~"
"Will take you in."
Lu Ming stopped in his tracks, turned to the weed, and exclaimed in surprise, "Eh?"
"You, a mere weed, have developed spirit sentience?"
"Never mind."
"Fate has brought us together."
"We met by chance with no prior connection, but I accidentally stepped on you, and now I'll repay you with an opportunity."
He extended his hand, gathering all the profound mysteries onto his fingertip while simultaneously absorbing and purifying the surrounding primordial spirit energy, forming a drop of spirit dew.
Finally, he infused the profound mysteries from his fingertip into the dew, and a drop fell.
The crushed weed immediately absorbed it, and the entire plant began to tremble.
The green leaf, flattened by the step, lifted again, and a profound aura emerged from within, transforming its entire body from emerald green to verdant green.
At that moment, a third leaf even started to grow.
Though it was just a tender bud, it was clearly visible!
This weed was indeed extraordinary.
Lu Ming was secretly amazed.
The spirit dew he had condensed with his cultivation was so powerful that even ordinary weeds, let alone those with spiritual properties, would experience explosive growth!
Common weeds would become lush in an instant, as if they had gone through several seasons.
But this weed, it merely healed its injuries and struggled to grow a tender bud.
Instead, its spirit sentience fluctuations intensified.
"Interesting."
"Interesting."
Lu Ming smiled, "You, little weed, are quite fascinating."
"I know you've developed spirit sentience and can understand my words. I want to take you out of the Thunder Mountain Range. Are you willing to come with me?"
"Let's go out and explore the vast world beyond?"
······
At the same time, the weed cursed inwardly.
"Don't think that just because you stepped on me and gave me some benefits, everything is settled!"
"I'm not done with you, I..."
"What? You want to take me out?"
"!!!"
"Alright, I'll go out, I'll leave!"
"Please, take me with you."
"Old driver, take me along."
"I dream of getting out of here!"
"Do you think I want to stay in this godforsaken place? It's not just desolate, but I get struck by thunder every day!"
"I have to constantly worry about my life, fearing that I might suddenly get struck by lightning and die. It would be so much better to get out of here!"
"I've had enough!"
"Please, kind sir!"
"..."
Helpless.
Even though its emotions were extremely volatile, frantically expressing its feelings, Lu Ming couldn't understand.
Its spirit sentience was still too weak.
Moreover, the difference between 'weed language' and 'human language' was too vast.
The weed was extraordinary, able to understand human speech.
However, Lu Ming couldn't comprehend 'weed language'.
He could only sense the weed's intense emotional fluctuations.
"..."
"I know what you want to say, but I don't understand."
Lu Ming paused, "How about this."
"If you're willing to leave with me, try to move a little."
"If you don't want to, then forget it."
······
The weed was anxious.
"Move!"
"Move!!!"
"I want to move!"
Having been on the brink of death, hovering between life and death for so long, now that there was a chance to get out and leave this cursed place, how could it not be tempted?
Move quickly!
Hurry up and move, damn it!
The weed was extremely agitated, using all its might and exerting every effort.
However.
It was all in vain.
It was still too weak and feeble.
That tiny bit of spirit sentience couldn't allow it to go against its nature as a plant.
Even though it was almost driven mad, the weed remained completely motionless.
It was both anxious and frustrated.
"Almost killing myself with exhaustion, yet I still can't leave this place?"
In that instant, it felt almost hopeless.
Lu Ming: "..."
Why isn't this 'little guy' moving?
Doesn't he know that the wise adapt to circumstances?
He slowly placed his hand behind his back and formed a hand seal.
Wind Manipulation~
A minor wind-based spell, even a second-stage cultivator could learn and cast it.
It had no offensive or defensive capabilities.
At best, it could create a gentle breeze.
But even this faint breeze...
As the wind blew past...
The weed's third leaf gently swayed.
The weed was stunned.
It cursed inwardly.
You're blowing the wind!
I'm in this state, and you're still mocking me?!
Why blow the wind now!
Damn it.
Why not make me something else, why a weed!
You just wait, if you give me the chance, I'll make sure to finish you off one day!
But~ it never expected.
Right at that moment, Lu Ming smiled slightly, "It moved."
"Not bad, it seems you're willing to leave with me."
"Since that's the case, let's go."
The weed was dumbfounded.
Did it agree? Of course, it did.
But, I can't move! I can't move at all! I'm just being blown by the wind.
You...
······
Lu Ming extended his hand, forming a sword with his fingers, and with a casual wave, he dug out the weed's roots and the surrounding soil, without harming a single hair of its root system, and perfectly extracted it.
······
Lu Ming held the weed in one hand and walked away, deliberately slowing down and traversing the mountains.
The result delighted him.
"This weed is truly extraordinary."
"I wonder if it can turn bad luck into good, or even help avoid crises. I'm not sure, but at least it can serve as a lightning rod. When I face tribulations, I'll bring it along and see if it works."
On his way there, he had been struck by lightning several times.
Although he wasn't injured, no one enjoys being struck by lightning for no reason.
On his way back, he deliberately slowed down to test it, and to his surprise, from the moment he left the Thunder Mountain Range until he reached its end, he wasn't struck by lightning even once.
The lightning-repelling effect was essentially confirmed.
As for whether it could assist in tribulation crossing, that would require further testing in the future.
······
Leaving the Thunder Mountain Range, the sun's rays shone upon the weed, making its already green leaves even greener, almost glowing~
Lu Ming seemed unaffected, "Since you have nowhere to go, I'll take you along. At least, by my side, you won't be easily bullied."
Weed: "..."
But upon further thought, it was indeed the case.
He was too weak.
Anyone could bully him, and although he had Spirit Sentience, he couldn't even move, and having Spirit Sentience was useless.
Clearly perceiving that he was being gnawed at by a little beast, bite by bite?"
That would be even more hopeless, it would be better if he didn't have Spirit Sentience.
Speaking of which, following him seemed not too bad.
But...
Since the birth of his Spirit Sentience, it seemed that the only person who had bullied him was him, right?
Little Grass was startled.
For a moment, his thoughts raced.
Lu Ming couldn't understand what it was thinking, nor did he want to understand. He just held it and left, muttering, "Where should we go next?"
"Hmm... Let's find a place to cultivate."
"Create some laws."
Little Grass was surprised.
Cultivation?
For Cultivators, this was as normal as it gets.
But to say it outright, create laws? Could it be that he was indeed a true big shot?
But if he was a true big shot, how could he not tell the difference between a breeze and a gust?
Perhaps...
On purpose?
Unable to move, he couldn't do anything.
With only his 'brain' able to function, it was naturally very active, and Little Grass's thoughts raced, instantly thinking of countless things.
His 'mind was in chaos', but Lu Ming's mind was clear.
Clearer than anyone, he knew exactly what he should do next! Attempt to create the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Skill and the Walking Secret!
At the same time, create some 'Basic Laws'.
Of course, these weren't the so-called 'Genius Basic Laws', but rather useful ones that wouldn't expose his identity, his disciples, and had a moderate level of difficulty to create.
After this battle, he discovered his 'shortcomings'.
His Cultivation Realm was almost sufficient.
His speed was also passable.
Seriously, one punch could rival the Seventh Stage, but he could only manage one, and the second would be impotent. Perhaps at a higher realm, it would be better.
Aside from that, he lacked effective offensive and defensive means.
After all, he had to hide his identity and couldn't reveal his relationship with Xiao Ling'er and the other disciples. He could only use other means, but he didn't know any currently!
He could go and learn some common techniques, so that no one would associate him with others.
But those common techniques... were indeed not great.
It would be better to create some.
And after creating them, even if his identity was exposed one day, these Secret Techniques and Secret Arts could be used to enrich the Moonseizing Sect's Scripture Pavilion, turning them into the sect's unique Secret Laws.
Worth it!
"First, create Basic Laws, then create the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Skill and the Walking Secret."
Lu Ming had an idea: "Among the Basic Laws, let's create Slaughter Tools first."
"Killing enemies, there's no need for defense."
"But Defense Techniques are also essential, the strongest are those who can't be killed."
"Slaughter Tools..."
"Which one to choose?"
Finding a cave, he set up a Formation Array and placed Little Grass aside, then Lu Ming began to ponder.
After a moment, his gaze swept over Little Grass, and he thought to himself, "The Moonseizing Sect only has one technique, the Eight Trigrams Bloodslaying Sword Technique, which can exert its strongest power when fighting desperately."
"If I can comprehend some Sword Techniques, disguising myself as a Sword Cultivator should be quite effective."
"After all, it's really difficult to associate the Moonseizing Sect with Sword Cultivators."
"Hmm..."
"Let's do it."
Lu Ming immediately entered a meditative state, starting to contemplate Sword Techniques.
He himself hadn't learned any Sword Techniques~
But Xiao Ling'er knows them!
Wang Teng also knows some.
Fan Jianqiang knows some too, to be honest, he knows a bit of everything.
As for Liu Hua and Qin Yu, one is completely clueless about the Sword Dao, and the other has just begun to learn, so they can be ignored.
Fortunately, with Xiao Ling'er's Sword Dao foundation, it's enough! Cultivation has no age.
Lu Ming entered a meditative state, starting to ponder, comprehend, and create his own Sword Techniques.
...
On the other side.
Xiao Ling'er had once again changed her appearance and hidden herself in a small city.
"The many restrictions I set up along the way have not been triggered, so no one should be pursuing me. You can focus on recovering for now, and I'll take care of you." Yao Mu appeared in the array, saying.
"Yes, Teacher."
Xiao Ling'er heaved a sigh of relief, and at this moment, she slightly relaxed, feeling her entire body aching terribly, the pain causing her to draw cold breaths, almost fainting.
Fortunately, she endured.
Taking another Healing Elixir, she began to recover.
At the same time, she couldn't help but feel amazed, "This time, it was smoother than I imagined."
"Indeed." Yao Mu was also surprised, "I didn't expect your little Junior Brother to travel thousands of miles to come and help, sharing your burden."
"But what's your attitude towards him now?"
"Attitude?"
Xiao Ling'er was taken aback, then pondered, "Before this, it was neither good nor bad, I suppose?"
"He tried to assassinate me, but I remained unharmed."
"Later, Master said he would give him an explanation, and then he joined the sect, took an oath, and knelt down on one knee to apologize, and even sent two valuable treasures in succession."
"By then, I didn't feel anything inappropriate, but to say that I was close to him is also a lie."
"But after this, I can finally put down my initial encounter."
"Even if I can't be as close to him as Master and Teacher, I can at least treat him like a normal fellow disciple without any issues."
"That's right." Yao Mu smiled, "When dealing with enemies, we need to be ruthless, but if we've confirmed that they are not foes, we should try not to hold grudges."
"Otherwise, it will only burden our minds."
"Teacher is right."
"Speaking of which, I should also care about my little junior brother. He should have escaped safely, right?"
Subsequently, she contacted Qin Yu.
Learning that Qin Yu had been surrounded by five people and had to injure himself to kill them, and after leaving the Tianyuan Immortal Dynasty's borders, she couldn't help but relax.
"This time, I've implicated my junior brother."
"Why would you say that, Senior Sister? Even without the debt I owe you, as fellow sectarians, I would never stand idly by and watch you suffer."
"You're too kind, Junior Brother."
"It's an honor to witness your exceptional prowess, Senior Sister. A minor injury is nothing to worry about."
"..."
After a brief conversation, the two ended their communication.
Qin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
"It's a case of fighting and becoming acquainted."
"But if the timing had been different, and I had gone to assassinate Senior Sister at that time, I would have..."
"Died by my own hands?"
"I wouldn't have had this opportunity."
"It's fate."
...
The two proud geniuses of the Xiao family ended up in an internal conflict, leading to a three-year pact.
Xiao Jie met his demise!
