Chapter 9: Pursuing Lightning (Part 1)

  Advancing to the One-Ring True Body of the Mysterious Wheel True Person, this was the first bottleneck that Lei Xingfeng encountered. With his cultivation speed, he already had enough wheel power, but advancing still didn't work. He tried to condense a One-Ring True Body, and three hours later, he gave up, knowing that something was still missing.

  He took out the Xing Pan Lu, and Lei Xing Feng began to study the contents of the back, mainly some pointers for condensing the true body of the first ring. With the Xing Pan Lu, he had the experience of his predecessors, which was much better than exploring on his own.

  One night passed.

  Lei Xingfeng hardly rested and it had no effect on him. If needed, he could go for several days and nights without sleep.

  This night, Leixing Feng's mind was highly concentrated. The records of Xingmanluo made him very confused. He had been thinking about how to break through, but unfortunately, Lei Bao Lao Ren was not there, otherwise he could have asked for advice. It was only then that he realized how much help Lei Bao Lao Ren had given him.

  Actually, Leixing Feng still doesn't know that the Lei Yin in his body can help him quickly condense his true form. Because he currently only has wheel power, and the powers he knows now are divided into three kinds: one is wheel power, which can be said to be the lowest level of power usage; then there's wheel seal power, which has a small amount of seal power properties; and the last kind of power is the most powerful, that is, seal power. The power within Lei Yin is precisely seal power. As long as he mobilizes some seal power to merge into his own wheel power, even just a little bit will do.

  It's just that simple, Leixing Feng didn't know, it's a matter of insight, without this insight, he can't put it into action, and thus let him fail to condense his true body for the first time. No matter how good a person's talent and potential are, if they don't have the correct direction of action, failure is not surprising.

  Lei Xingfeng walked out of the cabin and came to the bow. He saw Zhong Geng standing at the head of the ship, looking into the distance and said, "Is there any change?"

  Zhong Geng said: "After tossing and turning for half a night, I can no longer hear any noise. I reckon it's really dead this time."

  Wu Zhen walked over, with Han Xiu Bao following behind him. He said: "Master, shouldn't we have some gains today? Hehe, in the first half of the night, I kept hearing the sound of water, but in the second half of the night, there was almost no sound at all. Shouldn't we go take a look now?"

  Zhong Geng said: "Let's eat first, then go over, we're not in a hurry."

  Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go after dinner."

  After having a simple breakfast, the big ship started and sailed forward.

  About half an hour later, everyone saw the lake star python exposing its back on the water surface. The lake star python floated motionlessly on the water surface with countless harpoons and crossbow arrows still stuck in its back. Lei Xingfeng smiled: "It should be dead, let's go over."

  Zhong Geng said: "Good!" He immediately ordered the big ship to come closer.

  The lake sturgeon is dead, this lake sturgeon was unlucky and encountered people who deliberately targeted it. Its massive body floated on the water's surface, and in this part of the lake, almost no fish dared to come near. However, after the lake sturgeon died, many small fish have re-entered this area of water. The lake water is filled with the sturgeon's blood, and these bloody smells are luring the small fish over. The big fish, however, instinctively avoid it, perhaps they will only be unable to resist the temptation after a few days and come to devour the sturgeon's blood.

  Zhong Geng leaped onto the back of Hu Xingmang, laughing and saying: "It's really dead, haha, I've finally hunted down a Hu Xingmang, four years of hard work haven't been in vain."

  Lei Xingfeng also jumped onto Hu Xingman's back, saying: "How are we going to transport this? This thing is too big, can't be split up."

  Zhong Geng smiled and said: "Just drag it back, although it's a bit slow, but we can get the complete Lake Star Python."

  Lei Xingfeng nodded and said: "I don't know if the meat of Hu Xingchong is delicious or not..."

  Zhong Geng couldn't help but laugh, this guy was actually a foodie, Hu Xingman's whole body was treasure, and the meat was the least valuable thing, he didn't know that Lei Xingfeng had no interest in these things at all.

  In the ancient wheel of space, there are countless good things. Leixing Peak is not very interested in Huxingmang, a low-level fierce beast. He came to hunt and fight more for experience and training. If it were Xīngmáng, he might be interested, but Huxingmang is not worth it.

  Zhong Geng laughed and said, "I'll go back and cook the meat, I also want to taste how it is, haha!" He laughed heartily, this time he felt that it was well worth it. Not only did he hunt down the Lake Star Python, but what made him even happier was that he had actually advanced to the rank of Mì Lún Shī (Secret Wheel Master). This greatly elevated his status. The difference in status between a Wàn Lún Shī (Ten Thousand Wheel Master) and a Mì Lún Shī is huge. A Wàn Lún Shī can only be considered a local wealthy landowner, but a Mì Lún Shī has already gained the right to speak on certain matters.

  Mizong masters are at least visiting other sects, any sect, no matter how big or small, Mizong masters will be recognized. As for the true body of Yihuan, in any sect, they will be treated as guests, with noble treatment, and at least four-ring true bodies are required.

  This world is very realistic, what kind of strength you have will determine what kind of treatment you receive.

  The fishermen climbed onto the back of the lake star python, and the exposed back alone was over 7-8 meters long and more than 3 meters wide. These fishermen tied ropes to the fishing fork, using dozens of ropes, before returning, dragging the python's body towards the camp.

  That speed is maddening. Lei Xingfeng said, "This speed won't do, it's best to notify the ships at the campsite to come over and tow us together, maybe we can go a bit faster."

  Zhong Geng signaled for people to send a signal, and here is not far from the camp, about two hours later, the boat arrived.

  There were so many boats pulling the Hu Xing Man, and the speed was significantly faster. Lei Xingfeng estimated that at this rate, it would take at least twenty or thirty days to return to the Zhong family's market. And in just over a dozen days, the rainy season would arrive. He had no concept of the rainy season and asked: "If the rainy season comes, will it affect our return?"

  Zhong Gengdao said, "It's not a big problem, just hope we don't encounter a heavy rainstorm. If there is a heavy rainstorm, it will be hard to see the waterway back, but we'll be fine, we have experienced old fishermen."

  ……

  Although a heavy rainstorm was encountered along the way, the fleet returned to the market smoothly. When they returned to the market, the whole market was in an uproar. This was the time when the market had the most people. The rainy season was not suitable for going out to fish, and almost all fishing boats had returned to dock or moor beside their homes in the market.

  Lei Xingfeng didn't go to the Zhong's house, he came to Uncle Zhou's house instead.

  Zhou Tong and Zhou Xin were overjoyed to see Lei Xingfeng return, both of them were extremely happy in their hearts, especially Zhou Xin, who circled around Lei Xingfeng, constantly asking questions. He was really curious because it had already spread that this time the Zhong family had hunted down a huge lake monster, the Lake Star Python.

  Zhou Xindao said: "Lei brother, how big is that beast? I heard it's much bigger than the largest ship here..."

  Lei Xingfeng held up a bag of meat from the Hu Xing python and smiled, "This is the flesh of the ferocious beast. Let Uncle cook it for you to eat."

  "Wow, fierce beast meat! Leige, if I eat the fierce beast's meat, will I become like a fierce beast too?"

  Zhou Tong handed over the meat and gently patted Zhou Xin's head with his other hand, saying: "Silly child, how could that be possible."

  The meat of the lake star python was personally dug out by Lei Xingfeng from the back of the lake star python, so naturally Zhong Geng knew that this was the only portion of edible lake star python meat, and the others had not been divided yet.

  Three people boarded Zhou Tong's boat. Zhang Lao Da from next door saw Lei Xing Feng and smiled: "Young brother is back!"

  Lei Xingfeng nodded and said: "Yes, just arrived home. Old Zhang, come over for dinner and drinks in a while, there's good stuff."

  "What good thing?" said Zhang Lao Da with a smile.

  Zhou Tong raised the bag in his hand and smiled: "This is actually the meat of a fierce beast, want to come and eat?"

  "Ah, this is a novelty, I'll definitely come over to eat. Haha, in this life, I've never eaten the meat of a fierce beast, I'll bring a jar of strong wine over." He knew that Lei Xingfeng liked to eat shrimp and said: "I also have a basin of large shrimp caught this morning, I'll bring them over later."

  "Alright."

  This ordinary life, Lei Xingfeng is quite enjoying. Unlike cultivators, they pursue different things. They pursue power, while ordinary people just eat and drink, they pursue a full stomach and warm clothes, and life is the most important thing to them.

  It was already late afternoon, and the heavy rain that had stopped in the afternoon started again. Zhou Tong set up a reed-woven canopy at the bow of the boat to keep out the rain. Almost all the boats moored here had such large canopies at their bows. For people living on the boat, their activity area was mostly in the spacious bow, which served as both their dining and cooking area, as well as their gathering place for chatting.

  The patter of the rain, the raindrops hitting the awning made a crackling sound, Zhou said: "Xiao Xin, go to the stern, bring a basin of charcoal."

  The rainy season is a rest day for fishermen, and during the rainy season, there are few fishermen who go far out to sea to fish. At most, they just move around near the market, and spend most of their time docked at the pier. All day long, they are busy eating and drinking, as well as repairing boats and fishing nets. This is the most leisurely time for them, and their mood is also the best.

  Lei Xingfeng found Zhou Tong's boat, to the left was Zhang Lao's boat, and to the right was a new boat, but he didn't see the owner. He asked: "Whose boat is this? I didn't see it last time."

  Zhou Tong looked at him with a slightly strange expression and said, "This is your boat, isn't it? Last time you left not long after, someone from the Zhong family came over and specially sent a boat, hehe, saying it was the one you wanted. I and Xiao Xin have cleaned it up inside, everything is there, bedding, cooking pots and pans, rice, dried fish, etc., even more than our stored food."

  Lei Xingfeng suddenly remembered that he had asked Zhong Geng for a small boat, and unexpectedly they had already sent it over. He nodded and said, "Yes, I'm the one who came for it. Xia Xin, in the future you can use this boat. After I leave, this boat will be given to you."

  Zhou Xin was stunned, although he was young, he also knew what a boat here meant, it meant a home. Zhou said: "Xiao Xin, don't you thank your brother?" He knew that Lei Xingfeng would not stay here for long, a cultivator, after all, is different from ordinary people.

  The third watch is over, leaving behind votes.
