Chapter 15: The Temptation of the Ring (Part 1)
Tan Da let out a bitter laugh and said: "When I first used the Wheel Ring, the effect was extremely good. After advancing once, the effect began to decline, but it was still very useful. I advanced to True Person by relying on over a thousand Wheel Rings, plus one Wheel Seal Ring, forcibly advancing. If I want to advance again, at the very least I would need ten times as many Wheel Rings, which is over 10,000 Wheel Rings, plus ten Wheel Seal Rings." He shook his head, and his face had a somewhat disheartened expression. In reality, he understood that even if he had that many Wheel Rings and Wheel Seal Rings, it was still uncertain whether he could advance again.
Over a thousand Ring Circles and one Ring Imprint Circle, except for Lei Xingfeng, everyone else who heard this showed a hint of despair, it was simply impossible to find that many ring circles.
Lei Xingfeng said: "With your income, how can you have so many wheels?"
Tan Da Dao: "There are sect tasks to do, and it's still possible to collect them. Sometimes, the sect will have some rewards. After many years, it's almost enough. Unfortunately, if there is a wheel imprint ring... it would be different. With at most twelve or thirteen wheel imprint rings, I can continue to advance, but the wheel imprint ring is too difficult to obtain."
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said: "I see, haha, so the Wheel Ring is very valuable in the sect."
Tan Da sighed, "It's not just valuable... When that thing comes out, all the real people have red eyes, and the wheel ring is fine, but the wheel print ring is completely different. In the sect, if you use the wheel print ring, you can almost exchange it for anything, it's a universally recognized treasure, basically priceless."
Zhong Geng shook his head and said, "Alas, don't mention the Wheel Ring and the Wheel Seal Ring. I don't even know what a Wheel Ring is... Hearing you say this, I'm tempted to join a sect too, maybe I can get some Wheel Rings and Wheel Seal Rings."
Tan Da burst out laughing and said, "Don't be tempted by that. Even in a large sect, the Wheel Ring and Wheel Seal are privileges of only a few people. The lower levels don't even have a chance to get them. Even if you make great contributions, what you get is very little, not enough to advance, unless you're an inner disciple or a direct disciple of a senior, then you might get some from your seniors. I'm just an inner disciple, unfortunately not a direct disciple, otherwise advancing again shouldn't be a problem."
Inner door disciple, Zhong Geng couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew that with his own qualifications, it was impossible to enter the inner door, and at most he would be an outer door disciple. According to Tan Da's words, that meant being a person who did odd jobs and ran errands. Although their status was much higher than ordinary people, getting the Wheel Ring and Wheel Seal Ring was almost impossible.
Tan Da continued: "Actually, the wheel ring and the wheel seal ring are all concentrated in the hands of the high-level people in the sect. The middle and lower-level disciples can't get them at all. Even if they are high-level people in the sect, the wheel ring and the wheel seal ring are scarce items, and even they themselves don't have enough to use."
Lei Xingfeng said: "At least they are high-ranking masters above the third ring, and the Wheel Ring should have little effect on them."
Tan Da Dao said: "That's for sure, so we have a chance to get some wheels, otherwise, there is no hope."
Lei Xingfeng said: "Except for Lunhuan and Lunyin Huan, the effect of Yinhuan should be better, right?"
Tan Dalian shook his head and said, "Forget about the Seal Ring, even if it's a high-level one, that thing is just one... If other sects find out, it'll be enough to trigger a big war."
Zhong Geng nodded and said: "The seal ring should only have a great effect on those high-level true talents. Indeed, if I were the highest level of the sect, I would also ignore many things in order to advance."
Lei Xingfeng knew that the seal ring was not something that a true person could condense, but rather it was a higher level of cultivator. With his knowledge, he had only seen two people who were above the realm of true persons, one was his master and the other was his ancestor. Only these two people could condense out the seal ring. Of course, he could be certain that there were other cultivators who were above the true person level, it's just that he hadn't seen them, the level wasn't enough, and the possibility of seeing them was extremely low.
It's not surprising that Lei Xingfeng is just an ordinary person, just like in his previous life. He only interacts with people who are similar to him and would never come into contact with mayors or provincial leaders, nor would he interact with big businessmen or intellectuals. If he were one of them, then he would interact with people from that social class. In his past life, there was a very vivid saying: "circle". You have to be part of this circle to understand the things that happen within it.
Tan Da said: "That's right, as far as I know, for the sake of the Ring, there have indeed been battles between sects, and even cases of extermination."
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said: "Actually, it's really not difficult to get the Wheel Ring...".
Tan was shocked and asked: "Besides the sect, is there another way to obtain the Wheel Ring and the Wheel Seal Ring?"
At this moment all attention was focused on it, now everyone understood that with the ring, promotion became very easy, who wouldn't want it?
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "It's up to you whether you want it or not?"
Tan Da suddenly realized and exclaimed: "You have?"
Zhong Geng also reacted and saw that this guy had directly jumped to Lei Xingfeng's face, saying: "You have a wheel ring? Ah yeah, is it true or not......"
Lei Xingfeng didn't say a word, took out a row of wheel rings and several ring prints. As for the ring prints, he didn't dare take them out, that thing was too scary and easy to cause controversy. He said, "That's right, I have both wheel rings and ring prints."
Tan Da picked up a seal ring and a wheel ring, examined them carefully, and after a while, he sighed and said: "Ah, these are the real wheel rings and wheel seals. The ones I got before... were so impure."
The cultivators in the room all came forward, each holding a wheel ring and a wheel seal ring. The vast majority of people here had never seen what a wheel ring and a wheel seal ring looked like before, and they were all amazed.
Zhong Geng said: "No wonder your cultivation has increased so quickly, using so many wheel rings and wheel seal rings, the promotion speed must be very fast."
Lei Xingfeng smiled slightly, but didn't answer.
Tan Da's insight was not bad, he said: "Zhong Geng, you are wrong. If I'm right, Lai Qianbei should have never used the ring and the wheel ring."
"Wu Zhen wondered: 'Why is that? If it's not used, then Leizhen's promotion speed is too fast, right?'"
Tan Da Dao said, "You don't understand, with Lei's seniority and potential, using the Wheel Imprint would be a waste. You should know... for top-notch talents, using such auxiliary methods to cultivate is absolutely irrational. You don't know, those who use the Wheel Ring and Wheel Imprint to advance, once they reach a certain level, these things become useless. At that time, it's like me, haha, find a place... and wait for death."
Wu Zhen Dao said, "If seniors use auxiliary methods, won't their cultivation speed be faster? And if they have good innate talent, even when they can no longer use the Wheel Ring and the Seal Ring, they should still be able to continue cultivating with their good innate talent."
Tan Da Dao: "You're really ignorant, you should know that the Wheel Ring and the Wheel Seal are condensed from super masters, they have a certain power in themselves. If used too much, it will wash away the most precious things in their own potential. At that time, even if your potential is good, it's hard to make progress... Ah, I've said it, but you won't understand it anyway. Lei Qianbei must know this principle."
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "That's right, I've never used a wheel ring, and the seniors in my school don't allow it."
"With such huge side effects, why should we still use it?"
Zhong Geng couldn't listen anymore, raised his hand and slapped him on the back of his head, scolding: "Idiot! How stupid!"
Wu Zhen shrunk his neck and said with a wronged tone: "Master, where am I stupid?"
Zhong Geng smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly, he was speechless about this disciple.
Tan Da retorted: "Your qualifications are quite good?"
Wu Zhen shook his head and said: "My qualifications are quite ordinary..."
Tan Da Dao said: "Depending on your own qualifications and potential, what level can you cultivate to? Can you advance to the True Person?"
"Wu Zhen said: 'How can I possibly reach the true person? I'm already very satisfied if I can advance to the secret wheel master.'"
Tan Da laughed and said: "So with the wheel ring, you can easily advance to Mi Lun Master. With the wheel print ring, you can easily advance to Zhen Ren. If there are many wheel print rings, even if it reaches the level of Lei Shixiong, it's not impossible... So will you still refuse to use the wheel print and wheel print ring?"
Wu Zhen slapped his own head and said: "I'm just a fool!"
Everyone burst out laughing, and Zhong Geng couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile. This disciple usually seemed like an intelligent person, but now he was acting foolishly. After all, he was his own apprentice, so he didn't want to scold him in front of others. He said, "Alright, let's say you can use the Wheel Ring and the Wheel Seal Ring to quickly advance, but where are you going to find these treasures?"
Lei Xingfeng said: "Wanting to get the Wheel Ring and the Wheel Seal Ring is not impossible, I need some people outside to help me with things, as my subordinates, don't know if you are interested?"
Tan was overjoyed and said: "Lui Qianbei, you want to gather your subordinates?"
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Yes, I came out to gain experience and also had the idea of gathering my subordinates."
Tan Da Dao: "Can I join?" He asked to join without hesitation, he knew very well that having a backer and fighting on his own were vastly different, and he also hoped to go further. The difference between the first ring true body and the second ring true body was absolute, and relying on his own strength, he was clear that it would be very difficult to achieve in this lifetime.
"Welcome! Of course you can join!"
Zhong Geng was not stupid either. He hastily said: "I'll join too, okay?" He looked at Lei Xingfeng with a face full of longing.
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said: "Of course, why not? Welcome to join."
Others also asked to join, and Lei Xingfeng did not refuse. However, he said that the people in charge were Tan Da and Zhong Geng, and each of them managed their own subordinates. This was a very loose structure, and he didn't want to create a tight organization. He just wanted someone to call upon in this world, like hiring employees to do things for him.
