Chapter 19: Luxurious Life (Part 1)
This is a garden building, the Jiangnan garden building left in Leixing Peak's past memories. It has small bridges and flowing water, white walls and black tiles, carved railings and painted beams, with an ancient charm. When it was completed, Ai Ba was extremely surprised, finding the building to be extremely beautiful, with a rich layering, especially the arrangement of fake mountains, flowing water, trees, and small bridges in the courtyard, which is breathtakingly beautiful.
The entire garden building was completed in less than ten days, which made Leixing Peak extremely admiring. The efficiency of the people here was so high that it amazed him. Any idea, as long as it was spoken out, someone would quickly make it happen. A model was also built in just half a day, and then it took less than eight days to complete the construction, and another day was spent on decoration. The speed was like flying.
When the garden building was repaired, not only did Master Gu Qi praise it endlessly, but even the ancestors ran to visit and were obviously stimulated.
Lei Xingfeng did not expect that building a house would also make him famous.
But after the garden was built, Leixingfeng regretted it. The building reminded him of many things from his past life, so he didn't stay for long and moved to the neighboring courtyard to live. The garden was empty, but unexpectedly, Yin Yao and Qi Meiyun often came to stay. Both of them liked this building, which led to constant disputes between them.
In just a few dozen days, Lei Xingfeng gradually came to understand most of the situation in this secret space.
The so-called secret space and wheel space are two concepts. The wheel space moves with people, while the secret space cannot be moved after it is opened. The secret space can form a living area, and tens of thousands of people can live in this secret space.
This hidden space was inherited by Gu Qi, and after being managed by several generations, it has developed into a very suitable place to live, which is also why the ancestors would stay here for a long time.
The ancestor's name is called Wu Yang, a very mysterious guy.
Gucci has a total of nine direct disciples, Lei Xingfeng is the ninth disciple. There are also sixty-seven registered disciples and more than three thousand reserve disciples. The family minister has more than 300 people, although they are not as many as the disciples, their status is extremely high, only slightly lower than that of the direct disciples. Of course, the strength of the family minister must be very high.
There were more guards, about three to four thousand people. As for the slaves, they were countless, at least tens of thousands of people. And then there were ordinary people who were even worse off than the slaves, with a number that was even greater, approximately several hundred thousand people, all living outside the hidden space.
Among the legitimate disciples, there is no distinction between high and low. Except for listening to Gu Qi's words, others don't need to pay attention. Each legitimate disciple here is a master, belonging to the top of the pyramid.
The ancestor, Wu Yang, has the highest status in this place, but the master of the house is Gu Qi. There are some things that he will not interfere with. It's worth noting that Wu Yang has many disciples, and Gu Qi is just one of them. He lives here because he likes the environment better, and Gu Qi is very respectful to him, making him feel very comfortable living here.
Nine disciples, now only five are left, Fourth Sister Qi Meiyun, Sixth Sister Yin Yao, Seventh Brother Teng Yuan, Eighth Sister Miao Ling, and then there's Lei Xingfeng this old Ninth. As for Eldest Brother Feng Chongzong, Second Brother Yu Kou, Third Brother Xin Zhaodun, and Fifth Brother Bai Tianming, they are all out on their own missions.
Lei Xingfeng also found out that apart from him, the other direct disciples had at least four-ring True Bodies. The weakest was Eighth Sister Miao Ling, and the others all had cultivation levels of six rings or higher. Not a single one of them was easy to provoke. However, among these eight senior sisters and brothers, the youngest was already thirty years old, while Lei Xingfeng was only seventeen, an absolute little brother in terms of age.
In two lifetimes, I haven't lived as comfortably as I do here. Leixing Feng is enjoying the treatment of being waited on hand and foot for the first time. Anything he orders will be taken care of immediately by someone else, so there's no need for him to lift a finger.
Soon, Lei Xingfeng reacted and realized that if he wanted to enjoy himself, this place was absolutely perfect. No wonder his master had stayed here all along without leaving - it was indeed too comfortable. However, if he wanted to improve his own strength and find his grandfather and little sister, he absolutely couldn't continue enjoying himself like this.
Lei Xingfeng thought for a few days and decided to leave this place. However, before leaving, he needed to gather resources related to his cultivation.
"Uncle Ai!"
Lei Xingfeng's butler was a short, middle-aged man who always had a serious expression on his face. His name was Aishaner, actually Ai 32, all the butlers were surnamed Ai, Ai 1 to Ai 7 had long since passed away, so Ai 8 was the head butler, and below him were arranged in numerical order. Lei Xingfeng's butler was Ai 32, whose formal name was Aishaner.
Aishaner walked in and said, "Ah Feng." He should have addressed the master, but Leixingfeng found it too awkward to listen to, so he forced Aishaner to change his words. According to the master's orders, Aishaner also called Leixingfeng Ah Feng in private, but if there were outsiders present, he would still address him according to regulations.
Lei Xingfeng said: "I'll go to Master's place and arrange for a car."
Aishan'er responded with a sound, taking several slaves out. Leixing Peak still had ten guards, two of whom followed each time. They were all extremely powerful masters, eight six-ring True Bodies and two eight-ring True Bodies. Here, they were just guards. This kind of strength was absolutely ancestral-level in the outside sects.
As for the four house ministers, they are specifically in charge of household matters. Once Lei Xingfeng goes out to build his own power, these four house ministers will be very important. Now they live in the courtyard and basically don't manage anything, their main task is to cultivate themselves quietly.
The guards are divided into two teams, each with five people. Four of them are six-ring True Bodies of the Seal of Truth, and one is an eight-ring True Body of the Heart Seal of Truth.
Two personal bodyguards, both were the Heart Seal True Bodies of the Eight Ringed True Body, one was called Shi Hu, and the other was called Feng Ying. Lei Xingfeng did not dare to put on a master's airs in front of the two, one he addressed as Uncle Hu, and the other as Uncle Ying.
Today is Uncle Eagle's shift, so Crazy Eagle brings four guards to follow Lei Xingfeng.
The servants do not follow the master unless ordered by the host, and at this time Leixingfeng would not call the servants to come. In fact, he didn't even want to bring bodyguards, but he couldn't refuse their escort, anyway, it was a habit that had been formed.
"Ai Shan'er came in and said: 'A Feng, the car is ready, are we leaving now?'"
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Mm, let's go now, Uncle Eagle, let's go together."
The mad eagle nodded, and the four guards appeared silently. He was a personal guard, so he had been standing beside Leixing Peak all along. This guy was at least two meters tall, a head taller than Leixing Peak, which made him resentful every time. Standing next to this guy would definitely make one feel inferior.
What is called a carriage is actually a cloud beast carrying a seat with a cover, which is quite different from the carriages that Leixingfeng knows. The cloud beast is a kind of flat and strange creature that can float in the air at low altitude. This thing Leixingfeng had never seen before coming here, even in the secret space, such cloud beasts are extremely rare, only a few people can ride on them, which represents identity and status.
Sitting on the carriage, the cloud beast slowly floated forward, its speed was not fast, but it was extremely stable. On both sides of the cloud beast were two rows of slaves following closely behind.
It took only about ten minutes for Yun Shou to arrive at Gu Qi's residence, and someone had already gone in to report his arrival. A moment later, Ai Ba came out to greet him.
Ai Ba Dao: "A Feng."
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said: "Uncle Ai, I've come to find Master."
"Eighth Master said: 'Come in quickly.' He was very enthusiastic, of course this was towards his direct disciple."
Lei Xingfeng's steward led a group of slaves in from the side gate, Lei Xingfeng and Ai Ba, along with his mad eagle behind him, walked into the main gate together.
When Lei Xingfeng walked into the hall, Ai Ba took the mad eagle and left. This place didn't need a personal bodyguard, if there was still danger in front of his master, then there was no safe place anywhere.
Gucci sat alone, watching Lei Xingfeng come in, and smiled: "I reckon you should have come too, how's it going? Getting used to the accommodation?"
Lei Xingfeng shook his head and said, "Not used to it."
"Gu Qi was taken aback: 'What? Has anyone been served inadequately?'"
Lei Xingfeng said, "It's not that I'm not being taken care of, but rather it's too comfortable...I don't want to do anything at all. Master, I don't think I should stay here for too long, it won't be good for my cultivation."
Gucci burst out laughing and said: "Well, you reacted so quickly, haha, little guy, it's really interesting."
Lei Xingfeng casually sat down cross-legged and said: "Master, I want to learn something."
Gu Qi nodded and said, "The Thunder System cultivation method you learned earlier is still usable, but it's very rough. Hmm, I'll give you this Star Python Record, study it first and fill in the gaps of your basic knowledge. You can keep this Star Python Record, but don't teach it to anyone else without my permission, remember, this is very important."
Lei Xingfeng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, if I want to pass it on to someone else, do I need to get Master's consent?"
Gu Qi said: "Who do you want to pass it on to? If it's about accepting a disciple, your strength is still not enough to qualify for accepting a disciple."
Lei Xingfeng wanted to pass on what he had learned to Grandpa, but he still didn't know where Grandpa was. He said, "Hmm, I'll learn first, and if there's anything I don't understand, I'll come back and ask."
Gucci nodded and said: "Okay, you can come ask me anytime, also, if you want to go out for training, just tell your butler, he will arrange it."
Lei Xingfeng said: "Alright, Master, I'll come back in a few days." He didn't linger either, put away the Star Python Record, stood up and left.
……
Xīng Mǎng Lù, this Xīng Mǎng Lù is completely different from the one obtained from Léi Bào's hands. This is a book bound with Xīng Mǎng skin, a very large volume, and its content is much more than what Léi Bào Lǎo Rén gave. It's not just about recording cultivation methods, but also includes a lot of other knowledge, such as medicine making, material identification, weapon refining, etc. Léi Xīng Fēng has hardly touched any of these, and even if he had, the records on this are far beyond his reach.
…………
The first one is more important.
