Chapter 401: Failure of Thunder Tempering
Seeing that Master Pan Xuan didn't even show any sign of support, Lai Yinuan led his people away. He shook his head secretly, then looked towards Lingyun Hall and said, "Fellow Daoist Luo, it's your turn at Lingyun Hall."
The one called Fellow Daoist Luo was a tall and rugged Xuanshi. He came forward with four disciples, and then they said, "Take out all the Leixun stones for Lord Jianzheng and Elder Lai to look at."
"Yes!" The four of them bowed slightly and took out the Lei Xun Stones from their storage rings.
When the four of them took out the Lei Xun Stone from the storage ring, Master Pan Xuan and others who had just left turned back and stood in the air not far away with gloomy faces.
Obviously, after calming down a little, Master Pan Xuan felt a little unwilling and wanted to see what other sects had gained.
The Lingyun Palace’s harvest totaled ten Leixun stones.
Three pieces are as big as pigeon eggs, five pieces are as big as chicken eggs, and two pieces are as big as goose eggs.
Such harvest is naturally much better than that of Danxia Palace, but it is still disproportionate to the casualties of Lingyun Palace.
Master Luo Xuan's expression was rather ugly, while Master Pan Xuan, who was standing in the air, looked somewhat better.
Then, according to the old rules, Lai Yi Nuan and Gongsun Yun checked the storage rings of the four people. Then Lai Yi Nuan considered for a moment and took two egg-sized Lei Xun stones from the ten pieces.
"Brother Luo, let's leave it at that." Lai Yinuan said.
"Okay." Master Luo Xuan nodded, then led his men back to their original position, waiting with a serious face to watch the harvest of Xuanjian Sect and Cangshan Sect.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, it's your Cangshan Sect's turn." Lai Yinuan spoke again.
Soon, people from the Cangshan Sect came forward and took out the Leixun Stone.
The Cangshan Sect’s gains were not much, only half more than Lingyun Palace’s.
This time, not only did the people from the Cangshan Sect look quite ugly, but Lai Yinuan and Gongsun Yun's faces also looked a little ugly.
"The harvest this time is much less than last time. It seems that after so many years, the good things in the Wind and Thunder Barrier have been almost searched out. It's not worth sacrificing so many people to go in!" Lai Yi Nuan sighed.
"You can't say that. Entering the Wind and Thunder Small Barrier depends on luck. It's just like gambling. You have to accept the loss. You never know when you will get lucky!" Gongsun Yun replied disapprovingly, and then said, "Friend Xin, let your people come up."
Upon hearing this, Lai Yinuan glanced at Gongsun Yun and moved his lips, but in the end he sighed secretly and swallowed back the words that were about to come to his lips.
He knew very well why Gongsun Yun said that, because for the Tianyan Sect, no matter how many people died, they were all outsiders, and it was basically a guaranteed profit!
The four major sects were intent on cultivating Xuan Masters, because only with Xuan Masters could they have some capital to compete with the Tianyan Sect.
The Leixun Stone can increase the success rate of the grandmaster tempering his body with thunder, so the four major sects clearly know that this is a gamble, but before the results come out, they still hold on to the fantasy and choose to give it a try.
The people from Xuanjian Sect soon came forward.
Among the four major sects, the Xuanjian Sect had the most survivors, reaching five.
The people from Xuanjian Sect took out the Leixun Stones one by one, and what the first four people took out was almost the same as that of Cangshan Sect.
The people from Danxia Palace and other three sects were feeling a little more balanced when they saw this. Suddenly, they saw a flash of lightning in front of their eyes. It turned out that the last person took out a Lei Xun Stone as big as a football.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes lit up.
"Haha! Good, good!" Master Xin Xuan of Xuanjian Sect laughed heartily upon seeing this.
Master Pan Xuan and the others all had complicated expressions.
"Senior Brother Lai, you see there are always people who get lucky." Gongsun Yun stared at the Leixun Stone with a slightly hot gaze, and then said to Lai Yinuan.
Lai Yi Nuan smiled without comment.
On the spaceship, Qin Ziling looked at this scene and smiled without comment. He thought to himself, Master Qin, I don’t want to be high-profile. If I wanted to be high-profile, I would just take it out and scare you to death!
Lai Yi Nuan smiled noncommittally, discussed with Gongsun Yun in a low voice, and then said to Master Xin Xuan: "Congratulations to Xuan Jian Sect for getting such a large piece of Lei Xun Stone. We in Tian Yan Sect will not take away what others love. This large piece of Lei Xun Stone belongs to your Xuan Jian Sect, and we will take the rest. Is there any objection to it, Brother Xin?"
The skin on Master Xin Xuan's face trembled for a moment, and then he quickly said, "Thank you, Brother Lai. We in the Xuanjian Sect have no objection."
Seeing that Xuanjian Sect had no objection, Lai Yinuan still checked the five people's storage rings according to the rules, and then put away more than a dozen Leixun stones of various sizes.
"Everyone, this exploration of the small wind and thunder barrier has come to an end. See you later!" After putting away the Lei Xun Stone, Lai Yinuan bowed to everyone, then boarded the spaceship with Gongsun Yun.
People from the four major sects also left one after another.
When everyone left, the spider-web-like cracks in the sky completely disappeared.
The sky returned to its original state.
With blue sky and white clouds, you can't tell the difference between the sky here and other places.
“Sixty years from now, who knows how many people will be buried here.” Lai Yinuan looked back at the sky that had returned to normal and said with emotion.
Gongsun Yun smiled without comment, and there was even a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.
Qin Ziling also looked back at the sky which had returned to normal, with a somewhat subtle expression.
Because when the sky returned to normal, he could still vaguely feel the world inside.
Even though the spaceship was moving away from Tianling Mountain , he could still vaguely feel the small wind and thunder barrier, as if it was nearby.
"How strange!" Qin Ziling muttered to himself.
At this moment, Lai Yinuan's voice rang in his ears.
"Everyone take out the Lei Xun stones in your storage rings, and then hand in all the storage rings." As they spoke, Lai Yi Nuan and Gongsun Yun's eyes swept across the crowd like knives.
Qin Ziling's heart trembled, and he guarded the Niwan Palace tightly, not letting any fluctuations from inside to emanate out.
Now, most of the storage rings in his Qiankun Ring are stored in the Niwan Palace , and he only wears one storage ring on his finger.
Lai Yinuan and Gongsun Yun's cultivation levels obviously didn't allow them to discern any clues from Qin Ziling, so they quickly withdrew their gazes.
When the two men withdrew their gazes, everyone took out the Lei Xun Stones one by one, and handed the storage rings to Lai Yi Nuan and Gongsun Yun for inspection.
At this time, Qin Ziling naturally understood that Gongsun Yun was here to supervise Lai Yinuan and prevent him from stealing.
Most of the masters sent out by Tianyan Sect achieved similar gains as the four major sects, with only three being relatively outstanding.
One of them is naturally Qin Ziling.
Two pieces are twice the size of goose eggs, and two pieces are the size of chicken eggs. Although it is not as good as the harvest of the disciple of Xuanjian Sect, it is also very good.
One is Ma Wude, whose gains are similar to Qin Ziling’s.
There was also a middle-level master who looked like a young woman. Her gains were even greater than those of Qin Ziling and Ma Wude. It was a piece of Lei Xun Stone that was half the size of a football.
"It's not bad." Gongsun Yun glanced at the Lei Xun Stone, checked the storage ring, and then commented lightly, then closed his eyes to rest, no longer paying attention to anyone.
Lai Yi Nuan encouraged everyone, distributed some due material rewards, and mentioned the names of several masters who had gained a lot.
These masters can go with him to Tianyan Sect, and Tianyan Sect will arrange for the elders to accept them as registered disciples as appropriate. In this way, they will have some master-disciple relationship with Tianyan Sect.
In the future, they will be able to raise the banner of the Great Qi Kingdom. Those who are not powerful enough in the Great Qi Kingdom will definitely not dare to provoke them.
Among those named, naturally, were Qin Ziling and Ma Wude.
Those whose names were not called looked at them with envy.
"Teacher." Qin Ziling walked up to Lai Yinuan and bowed slightly.
"Well, you did very well this time. Not only did you make a breakthrough in your cultivation, but you also gained a lot." Lai Yinuan looked at Qin Ziling with a look of relief on his face.
"The student misses home and doesn't want to go to Tianyan Sect for the time being." Qin Ziling said straight to the point.
Lai Yi Nuan was slightly stunned, then nodded and said: "After surviving a disaster, it is human nature to want to see your family first. Anyway, you have already worshipped me as your teacher. If you go with me this time, it is nothing more than just recognizing the mountain gate. It doesn't matter whether you go early or late.
Moreover, you have just broken through to become a mid-level master, so you should go back to seclusion, calmly comprehend the breakthrough experience, stabilize your realm, and prepare for the next step of comprehending the thunder method."
"Thank you, teacher. I think so too," said Qin Ziling.
"You got a lot of Thunderstones this time. According to the rules, you can get one third. But a man is innocent but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. The Thunderstone is very valuable. I will give it to you now. If the news leaks out, there is no guarantee that no one will take the risk.
Therefore, your share will be kept by your master. You are still very young, so work hard. If you can comprehend the thunder method within 10 to 20 years, and place the thunder method rune on the altar of the law source, you will become a grandmaster. With the help of the thunder stone, you will have a good chance of becoming a master of the mystical arts. "Lai Yi Nuan said.
Seeing Lai Yi Nuan's evaluation of Qin Ziling, the eyes of the people in the spaceship suddenly changed when they looked at him, filled with envy and admiration, especially Ma Wude, who had a flash of excitement in his eyes.
No one knew better than him that Qin Ziling's strength was much greater than what he showed.
So in this situation, and with Lai Yinuan's evaluation, Ma Wude believed that this master of his would most likely become a master in the future.
Master Xuan was a very powerful person in the Great Qi State. Even the emperor had to show some courtesy to Master Xuan.
If Ma Wude has such a powerful backer, coupled with the relationship with the Tianyan Sect, he will basically have nothing to fear in the second half of his life.
"Teacher, you are very thoughtful. My current strength is not enough, so I naturally cannot take the Lei Xun Stone. I still have to trouble you to keep it for me." Qin Ziling bowed and said, without any hesitation or dissatisfaction on his face.
The warden, who had his eyes closed to rest, opened them slightly to glance at Qin Ziling, then closed them again.
Lai Yinuan nodded upon seeing this and thought, this kid has a really good character, he can let go of things easily. When I asked him to keep such a precious thing as the Lei Xun Stone for safekeeping, he accepted it calmly without any hesitation or dissatisfaction.
How could Lai Yinuan know that his student didn't even take this Lei Xun Stone seriously, and he had already comprehended the thunder method, and his comprehended it very deeply. After returning, he only needed to cultivate his magic power to be more powerful and pure, so that he could place thunder method runes on the Fa Yuan altar at any time, and he could also master the five elements of thunder method: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. It wouldn't take him ten or twenty years to become a grandmaster.
"Whenever you want to come to Tianyan Sect or want to find a master, you can contact the judge of the Judge's Office in Xiyun Province." Lai Yinuan said.
"Thank you, teacher. I'll take my leave first." Qin Ziling said.
"Go ahead." Lai Yi Nuan nodded.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ziling bowed to Lai Yinuan, then bowed to Gongsun Yun to say goodbye, then flew away from the spaceship alone.
Not long after Qin Ziling flew away from the spaceship, Gongsun Yun, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and an ancient mirror appeared in his hand.
Some words appeared on the mirror.
Gongsun Yun took a quick glance, put away the mirror, and after a moment of silence, he said calmly, "Qin Jianmei's Thunder Tempering failed. "
Lai Yi Nuan said nothing when he heard this, but turned his head to look in the direction of Wuzhou and let out a long sigh.
