Chapter 611: A Bright Future Ahead
Chapter 611: A Bright Future Ahead
After drinking the dark green thunder liquid, the exotic Raiju beast closed its eyes, and thin strands of subtle dark green thunder light emerged on its body, making its silvery-white fur even more striking.
The thunder light danced, seemingly tempering its physical body.
Lu Chen's heart burned with excitement as he witnessed this.
"This dark green thunder liquid seems extraordinary. Refined from that ancient jade artifact, it should be an enhanced version of the dark green spirit thunder."
He thought to himself as he slowly approached the exotic Raiju beast.
"What are you eating? It looks delicious."
Hearing this, the Raiju beast lifted its head, its eyes filled with confusion as it looked at Lu Chen.
Typical beast! So stubborn!
Don't you understand my hint and offer me some to taste?
Lu Chen was annoyed for a moment, but his face still wore a friendly smile.
"Can I have a taste?"
Only then did the Raiju beast seem to understand, and it nodded slightly, controlling a few drops of the dark green thunder liquid to float gently towards Lu Chen.
Lu Chen carefully took one drop of the liquid, and upon sensing nothing amiss with his spiritual consciousness, he swallowed it.
He felt a mild electric current coursing through his body, refining every minute part of his tendons and muscles.
He took a deep breath, and a faint green aura, like an arrow, shot out from his mouth and disappeared into the distant dark green thunder light.
"This dark green thunder liquid is indeed an extremely rare treasure. Even with my robust physical body, I can feel a slight enhancement after consuming it."
Lu Chen marveled inwardly and promptly kept the remaining few drops of the liquid.
Seeing this, the exotic Raiju beast controlled a few more drops of the liquid and offered them to him.
"That's enough, no need to be so polite."
Lu Chen said as he stored the liquid in a small white jade bottle and put it into his storage bag.
Although he didn't know what the dark green thunder liquid was, he speculated that it would definitely be beneficial for cultivating the Purple Micro Thunder Fruit and the Yimu Green Thunder Vine, and other thunder-attributed spiritual plants.
Not to mention, it could also be used to temper one's physical body.
"As friends, if I want to get some more of this thunder liquid in the future, would you still bring me here?"
He asked the Raiju beast sincerely.
After interacting with this beast a few times, he had learned that it was better to be direct rather than beat around the bush.
"Yes."
The exotic Raiju beast conveyed its response through a thought.
A smile appeared on Lu Chen's face, and he reluctantly glanced at the ancient jade artifact once more.
If it weren't for maintaining his friendship with this exotic Raiju beast and the long-term benefit of obtaining the dark green spirit thunder and the refined thunder liquid from the jade artifact, he would have taken the artifact with him already.
After obtaining about ten drops of the dark green thunder liquid, Lu Chen flew into the low sky and carefully began to collect the dark green spirit thunder.
Using his spiritual sense, he guided a wisp of the outermost dark green spirit thunder towards him. With his spiritual power, he gently wrapped around the spirit thunder and slowly compressed it bit by bit.
The spirit thunder was inherently extremely volatile, and the slightest mishap during the compression process could cause it to explode. Fortunately, Lu Chen's spiritual sense was powerful, and he successfully condensed it into a dark green thunder pearl without any mishaps.
He carefully stored it away and continued to condense new thunder pearls.
As he was painstakingly guiding and compressing the dark green spirit thunder, suddenly, Lu Chen sensed something amiss coming from outside the basin.
He turned his head and saw a huge Raiju beast appearing from behind one of the stone pillars.
The Raiju beast seemed extremely astonished when it saw Lu Chen, freezing in place for a moment. But it quickly reacted, roaring angrily as streaks of silver-white thunder light appeared on its body.
Just as it was about to launch a thunderous attack, suddenly, a flash of white light passed by, and the exotic Raiju beast slapped it away, sending it crashing into the ground in the distance.
"I've got this!"
Lu Chen detected this unspoken message in the low growl, and he couldn't help but find it amusing. The Taiyi Thunder Talisman, which had already slipped out of his sleeve, was quietly retracted.
"It wasn't for nothing that I fed you so many spirit fruits and nectars."
His eyes softened as he looked at the exotic Raiju beast with gratitude.
Amid the rolling thunder, the new Raiju beast leaped out of the pit, its gaze alert as it warily eyed Lu Chen before turning to its companion, growling in a seemingly accusatory tone, perhaps questioning how a human cultivator had entered their domain.
The exotic Raiju beast snorted coldly, shooting a bolt of silver-white lightning from its nose, forcefully pushing its companion back.
The other Raiju beast roared in frustration, clearly agitated but unable to do anything about it, and eventually stormed off in a huff.
"It seems that this exotic Raiju beast, with a hint of Thunder Ox aura, holds a much higher status and possesses far superior strength compared to its companion who tried to attack me."
Lu Chen marveled inwardly at this display.
"Thank you, my friend."
Once the Raiju beast's presence had faded, Lu Chen took out a plump, pink Mystical Peach from his storage bag and tossed it to the exotic Raiju beast that had come to his aid.
The Raiju beast devoured the peach, skin and all, then slowly strolled to a corner, savoring the delicious taste of the mystical fruit.
Seeing this, Lu Chen continued to manipulate the dark green spirit thunder, compressing it into pearl-like orbs.
"This should be enough. This amount of thunder pearls will last the thunder-attributed spirit plants in the cave abode for a couple of years."
He murmured to himself as he scanned the area with his spiritual sense.
Even though the numerous thunder-attributed spirit plants in the cave abode had immense demands, this batch of dark green spirit thunder was several times more effective than ordinary spirit thunder, and with a substantial quantity, it should suffice for about two and a half years.
"Alright, thank you for bringing me here and allowing me to obtain so much spirit thunder."
Lu Chen reached out to stroke the exotic Raiju beast's silvery fur affectionately.
"We part ways here for now. Next time I come, I'll bring some tasty treats for you and your little friend."
There wasn't much in the cave abode, but there was an abundance of spirit fruits and nectars.
Drawing on his prior experience, Lu Chen made his way through the stone pillar restrictions and into the vast thunder sea.
The Void Nightmare's eyes roamed the skies, and Lu Chen, observing the grayish-white pupil in his hand, swiftly navigated through the thunderous landscape.
"Hmm? There are other cultivators up ahead."
Through the shared vision of the Void Nightmare, Lu Chen spotted several cultivators in the distance battling a pair of unknown thunder beasts.
From their appearances and auras, he could tell they were strangers.
Not wanting to get involved, Lu Chen's Clear Wing Feather Robe emitted a soft glow as he suppressed his aura and maneuvered around them.
As he drew closer, he sensed the intense battle a hundred zhang away and once again felt grateful for his friendship with the exotic Raiju beast.
"If it weren't for the guide in the thunder sea, searching for spirit thunder would have been several times more difficult, not to mention the rare thunder liquid I obtained."
"During the search, one might also encounter thunder beasts or cultivators with ill intentions. It's truly fortunate that I was able to obtain my desired treasures so smoothly."
He mused to himself.
"You all strive and fight in the thunder sea, seeking treasures, while I, guided by a local thunder beast, effortlessly enter forbidden grounds and acquire treasures."
"We all have a bright future ahead of us..."
