Chapter 706: Strength Through Filial Piety
Chapter 706: Strength Through Filial Piety
"After mastering this Thunder Manual, collecting spirit thunder in the Thunder Sea will be much easier," Lu Chen thought to himself.
Previously, when he ventured into the Thunder Sea in search of spirit thunder, it was mostly up to luck. Now, with additional thunder-seeking techniques at his disposal, his efficiency would surely improve.
When compressing spirit thunder, he relied on his powerful spiritual sense and physical body to handle the process. This method was adequate for dealing with lower-grade spirit thunder, but encountering higher-grade thunder might lead to explosions and other risks.
Harvested a fourth-grade Thunder Rage Lotus, obtained a fifth-grade Thunder Escape Talisman.
He proceeded to pluck another Thunder Rage Lotus. As the slender river of light flowed into his body, a thought flashed through his mind, and a silver-white talisman appeared before him.
The surface of the talisman was covered in countless hair-thin streaks of thunder, slowly meandering. When Lu Chen focused his gaze on it, the speed of the meandering thunder abruptly increased, becoming almost impossible to capture with the naked eye.
It was the fifth-grade Thunder Escape Talisman he had obtained before, crafted from refining celestial murderous thunder. Once activated, it could unleash the Thunder Escape divine ability, allowing one to instantly flee a thousand miles away.
Over the next half month, the remaining five Thunder Rage Lotuses matured one after the other.
From the five white globes of light, a total of three strands of Evil-Annihilating Spirit Thunder emerged, along with a fifth-grade Thunder Escape Talisman and a package containing insights and experiences about the Thunder Manual from the Shen Xiao True Law.
After absorbing another Thunder Manual package, Lu Chen felt as though he had lived and cultivated amidst thunder for many years. He now had an intimate understanding of spirit thunder and divine thunder, and his ability to control and command spirit thunder had improved significantly.
Standing in the spirit herb field, he willed it, and a thumb-thick golden thunderbolt shot out from his body, swirling around him at incredible speed, leaving afterimages in the air.
The thunderbolt split into four and then merged back together skillfully, as if it had a life of its own, tracing out various profound trajectories.
"With four strands of Evil-Annihilating Spirit Thunder, dealing with general evil cultivators or evil beings at the early Qi Condensation stage shouldn't be a problem."
"However, it's best to collect as much as possible. If I have hundreds or thousands of strands of Evil-Annihilating Spirit Thunder, perhaps even evil cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage would have to avoid my edge."
Lu Chen decided to collect more Thunder Rage Lotus spirit seeds and accumulate more Evil-Annihilating Spirit Thunder.
The rewards that emerged from the Thunder Rage Lotus globes of light were all extremely satisfying to him. The lotus seeds themselves were also excellent items for feeding lightning-attributed spirit beasts and aiding in the cultivation of lightning-attributed techniques and abilities. Therefore, it was worth planting more of them.
"There are two relatively reliable ways to obtain Thunder Rage Lotus spirit seeds."
"One is to enter the medicinal garden in the Thunder Sea and spend more time searching for spirit seeds, while also keeping an eye on that Thunder Ghost."
"The other option is to rely on the power of the Sea Tower Commerce Guild. The guild itself might possess quite a few spirit seeds, and they can also help with the collection. It would be difficult for me to gather a large number of Thunder Rage Lotus spirit seeds on my own."
Lu Chen pondered to himself.
His figure flashed like flowing light, and he soon reached the mountain foot, where he found the baby Thunder Dragon Bull playing.
Within the silver-white thunder radiance, the calf seemed to merge with its surroundings. It occasionally transformed into a white light, darting left and right, while the plump bird leisurely preened its pale green wings in the distance.
"Come, come, come. I have something good for you to eat."
Lu Chen transmitted a thought to the calf.
The calf instinctively avoided Lu Chen's gaze, but after a few breaths, it emerged from behind him.
Lu Chen grabbed the silver-white horn on its head and took out a Thunder Rage Lotus seed.
Sensing the pure thunder essence emanating from the tiny creature in front of it, the calf's eyes lit up, and it spat out a silver-white thunder beam, swallowing the Thunder Rage Lotus seed.
Not long after ingesting it, the baby Thunder Dragon Bull's body erupted with a massive amount of silver-white light, so dazzling that it obscured its figure entirely, as subtle thunderous auras surged around it.
Compared to before it had ingested the lotus seed, the calf now seemed more energetic and agile in its movements. Its silver-white fur was sleek and shiny, and its aura had also increased noticeably.
The calf was aware of the tremendous benefits the Thunder Rage Lotus seeds had for its growth, and it immediately pounced at Lu Chen's feet, rubbing its silver-white horn against his shins affectionately.
"Do you want another one?" Lu Chen asked in surprise as he sensed the calf's thoughts.
While consecutive consumption of the lotus seeds might not be the best for the Thunder Dragon Bull, Lu Chen had plenty of them, so he readily fulfilled the little fifth-grade beast's small request.
He took out another Thunder Rage Lotus seed and offered it to the calf.
However, to his great surprise, the Thunder Dragon Bull calf did not immediately devour the silver-white lotus seed, which was of great benefit to it. Instead, it held the seed in its mouth and hopped over to the plump bird.
The bird, with its round, curious eyes, looked at the calf in confusion. The calf persistently lifted its head, indicating for the bird to eat the lotus seed.
The plump bird sensed the thunderous aura emanating from the silver-white seed, hesitating.
"It's especially delicious! Quick, quick!"
Through their mental connection, Lu Chen could sense the calf's thoughts. Seeing the bird's hesitation, he simply popped the seed into the Wind Falcon's mouth.
"Oh no!" Lu Chen mentally exclaimed, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the bird.
As expected, threads of lightning appeared on the Wind Falcon's pale green wings, crackling and exploding. The feathers on its body were charred black, and a faint burnt smell wafted from it.
"Hahaha!" Lu Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You're such a good son to the plump bird!" he exclaimed, looking at the bewildered silver-white Thunder Dragon Bull calf.
Then, he infused the bird with Greenwood source qi, quickly restoring its damaged body to its original state.
After inspecting the spirit herb field, Lu Chen returned to the courtyard and entered a quiet room.
In the center of the room was a pale green jade ball, which seemed to be breathing as it gently expanded and contracted.
He approached the jade ball, and the pale green light cluster in his dantian accelerated its rotation, channeling a large amount of Greenwood source qi into the jade ball, which was greedily absorbed by the embryonic Qingyue Qilin within.
A crisp cracking sound echoed from the jade ball.
A thin, long crack appeared on the surface of the pale green jade ball.
"Is it finally going to hatch?" Lu Chen rejoiced inwardly and hastened the flow of Greenwood source qi.
The crack spread, and after more than ten breaths, it covered the entire jade ball.
The cracking sounds grew louder, and eventually, the jade ball shattered into jade fragments, revealing a pale green cub with its eyes tightly shut.
The cub's body was wet, and as it struggled to open its eyes, it seemed to know who had hatched it. It let out a low roar, filled with dependence and affection.
Then, it slowly got to its feet, extended its claws, and pulled in a few pieces of shattered jade, swallowing them.
After consuming the jade fragments, its body glowed with a green light, revealing its true form.
Resembling a musk deer, with a sheep's head, a dragon's tail, and wolf-like hooves, the small creature exuded a majestic aura despite its tiny stature.
"A sixth-grade exotic demon beast, the Qingyue Qilin, has finally hatched. It wasn't easy," Lu Chen said, filled with emotion. It had taken over a year, countless infusions of Greenwood source qi, and a large number of Spirit-Nurturing Grass Pearls to successfully hatch the Qilin, which had been in a deep slumber.
