Chapter 660: The Cultivator Riding on the Back of the Thunderous Qilin!
Lu Chen intended to collect a Confucian cultivation technique suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators, but such cultivators were rare within Tianxing Cave. The branch of the Chamber of Commerce didn't have any such techniques, so he had to give up on the idea for the time being.
In the future, if he was satisfied with Hong Qinghai's actions and had the opportunity, he could help him acquire a suitable technique.
After leaving Hong Qinghai's house, Lu Chen made his way to the spirit herb fields where the thunder-attribute spiritual plants were cultivated.
He took out a drop of dark green thunder liquid from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch and evenly sprinkled it onto the green light covering the Yimu Qingleiteng.
"I'm running low on spiritual thunder and this green thunder liquid," Lu Chen muttered to himself as he sensed the vibrant vitality emanating from the Yimu Qingleiteng sapling. "I should make a trip to Thunder Sea to replenish my supplies."
Currently, there were quite a few high-grade thunder-attribute spiritual plants cultivated in the cave, including the most numerous Four-Product Thunder Blast Lotus, the Five-Thunder Flower with Five Buds, the Six-Product Ziwei Thunder Fruit, and the only Seven-Product Yimu Qingleiteng. The demand for spiritual thunder and thunder liquid to nurture so many thunder-attribute spiritual plants had reached a terrifying level.
If it weren't for the guidance of that exotic Lei Gou beast, leading him to the secret place controlled by the Lei Gou beast clan and helping him obtain a large amount of spiritual thunder and thunder liquid, he would probably have to venture into Thunder Sea every few days to search for spiritual thunder.
"I'll take this opportunity to visit my Lei Gou beast friend," Lu Chen thought to himself. "I'll also find a chance to get closer to that Seven-Product Green-Horned Thunderous Qilin and strengthen our relationship."
After making the necessary preparations, he left the cave.
He arrived at the nearest passage to Thunder Sea, located at the edge of the cave, and smoothly entered the passage with the aid of the Thunderfire Token.
Not long after traveling through the thunderous sky, Lu Chen spotted a familiar figure in the distance.
The first Lei Gou beast he had met was squatting on the ground, and its belly seemed even rounder than the last time he had seen it.
The silver-white behemoth had a strong impression of Lu Chen and immediately recognized him amidst the thunderous sky, letting out a low roar that held a hint of familiarity.
Lu Chen skillfully took out some spirit fruits from his storage bag.
"You're quite something," Lu Chen said with a laugh. "With your own strength and powerful background, you've simply resorted to begging near the passageway, living the easy life."
The Lei Gou beast eagerly swallowed the spirit fruits and affectionately rubbed its head against Lu Chen's arm.
Among the passing cultivators, only a few had fed it, and most of them offered beast meat, which it had grown tired of over time. Lu Chen's spirit fruits always delighted it, and it even looked forward to his occasional appearances in the passageway.
"How do these spirit fruits taste?" Lu Chen asked with a smile, seeing the beast's eager expression.
"Wonderful! They're infinitely better than what others give me!"
The plump Lei Gou beast roared, conveying its thoughts to Lu Chen.
"Here you are, lazing around and mooching off others, and now you're being picky about your food?" Lu Chen couldn't help but chuckle.
"A beggar can have standards, too!"
The Lei Gou beast raised its head, silver-white thunderous aura flaring from its nostrils, and playfully stuck its tongue out at Lu Chen.
"Alright, alright," Lu Chen said, taking out half a bottle of Icy Marrow Spirit Brew and tossing it to the Lei Gou beast. "Here, try this new type of spirit brew. It's even more delicious than the previous ones."
With the combination of spirit fruits and spirit brew, the Lei Gou beast's attitude warmed up even further. It obediently lay down in front of Lu Chen, even exposing its silver-white belly completely.
"By the way, where's that other Lei Gou beast that used to beg for food with you?" Lu Chen inquired about the exotic Lei Gou beast.
"It was just an amateur, unlike me, a professional," the Lei Gou beast roared in response.
After spending some time with the beast, Lu Chen ventured into the vast Thunder Sea.
Along the way, the Void Nightmare kept flitting through the skies above, allowing Lu Chen to observe their surroundings at all times.
They encountered several groups of cultivators, including a Golden Core cultivator whom Lu Chen had met before during their escape from the Black Water Star Cave.
However, Lu Chen chose to bypass them without greeting.
Although he recognized the Golden Core cultivator, their relationship was superficial, and the level of trust between them was limited. While it might have been fine under normal circumstances, in a dangerous place like Thunder Sea, such a fragile trust could easily shatter.
To maintain this superficial relationship, it was best to avoid meeting in such a sensitive environment.
Soon after, in the white-eyed palm of Lu Chen's hand, a streak of silver-white thunder light sped towards him.
A smile appeared on Lu Chen's face as he chose not to dodge, allowing the exotic Lei Gou beast within the thunder light to rush into his embrace.
"You've gotten much stronger since we last met," Lu Chen said, his feet firmly planted on the ground as he braced against the residual force of the beast's charge.
He had initially fed this exotic Lei Gou beast out of curiosity, but he never expected that it would repay his kindness a hundredfold. Not only had it led him to the secret lair of the Lei Gou beast clan, where he acquired a large amount of rare spirit thunder and thunder liquid, but it had also found him during the turmoil in Thunder Sea and brought him to the safety of their territory, where he met the Seven-Product Green-Horned Thunderous Qilin.
"Try this new spirit brew I've refined. It has a unique and delicious flavor, and I guarantee you'll love it," Lu Chen said as he took out a bottle of Icy Marrow Spirit Brew. The pure white brew, laced with chilling aura, flowed into the Lei Gou beast's mouth.
The exotic Lei Gou beast shuddered with delight, its eyes reflecting the exquisite taste of the brew.
Under the influence of the Fourth-Product Icy Marrow Spirit Brew, the beast unwittingly led Lu Chen back to the hidden place with the dark green thunder liquid. Lu Chen, of course, seized the opportunity to collect a satisfactory amount of the rare thunder liquid and spirit thunder.
"It's been a long time since I've seen the Thunderous Qilin elder. I've been thinking about him and wanted to pay him a visit. I can also help clear out some of the newly grown Thunder Death Crystals while I'm there," Lu Chen said.
"Can you take me to your lair again?" he asked, narrowing his eyes at the exotic Lei Gou beast.
The beast tilted its head, unhesitatingly trusting Lu Chen. Silver-white fur bristled with strands of thunderous light, and as the light intensified, it transformed into a beam of white light that enveloped Lu Chen, carrying him through the Thunder Sea at their leisure.
Soon, Lu Chen was led back to the secluded dwelling of the Lei Gou beasts.
Numerous Lei Gou beasts lounged on thunderclouds, some chasing after tadpole-shaped thunderballs in the air. Sensing Lu Chen's unfamiliar aura, they all turned to look at him, then resumed their activities after recognizing him.
"That's the cultivator who rode on the Thunderous Qilin elder's back!"
Although it had been a while since they last saw Lu Chen, his impression on them was deep.
The Green-Horned Thunderous Qilin held an extremely revered status among the Lei Gou beasts. Their lives and deaths were but a flick of the Thunderous Qilin's finger.
On regular days, they dared not even raise their eyes to glance at the Thunderous Qilin, yet this handsome young man had not only climbed onto its back but also dared to pat its body. This gave the Lei Gou beasts an extraordinary impression of Lu Chen.
