Chapter 19: The Underground Trading Post (Part 1)

  Shì Hǔ stood beside Léi Xīng Fēng, a lump of magma was scooped up, he hastily retreated several steps and said: "Be careful."

  Lei Xingfeng chuckled and said: "I know, hehe, don't worry, there's something in this magma!"

  "How did you know?"

  Lei Xingfeng smiled and took out a basin of water, pouring it onto the fiery lava, with a sizzling sound. The steam rose, and Zhi Hu was already able to clearly perceive a purple glow. He said: "Huh, there really is something!"

  After the magma cluster cooled slightly, Leixing Peak smashed it.

  This time the harvest is big, a piece of purple crystal as big as an apricot appears. Leixing Peak said: "Not bad, this is the largest purple crystal I've found, let's continue!" Before, he had found some purple crystals, but just treated them as materials like Biyasi, so after finding a few pieces, he gave up. Now that he knows, even if it's for True Lord, he plans to get more of it.

  He was still puzzled, he had already selected at least seven or eight magma teams, and hadn't even found a shadow of purple crystal. He was confident that his eyesight wasn't inferior to Leixing Peak's, but when he saw the magma team picked by Leixing Peak, three magma teams, with at least two teams having purple crystals, he couldn't help but admire him.

  Lei Xingfeng stared intently at the lava flow, but in fact he could see a lot of purple light emanating from it. However, they were too far away from him, and he couldn't fly, so those floating purple lights, he had no way to pick them up to the shore.

  Watching Zijin drift away on the lava flow, Leixing Peak also felt heartache. This was a treasure that could be traded with the True Lord, and it would be a pity to let it disappear before his eyes. His eyes rolled around, then he saw Huti holding a steel spear in his hand, stirring the lava flow wildly. Suddenly, he thought of a plan and said: "Uncle Hu, I'll direct, you stir up the lava."

  "Good." He also felt annoyed. Anyone would be annoyed if they came and gained nothing, of course they wouldn't feel good about it.

  Lei Xingfeng said: "You fly above the magma, be careful, I'll throw rocks. Wherever the rocks fall, you pick up that lump of magma. You have to be fast and scoop it from the bottom. Hmm, try it out and you'll know."

  The tiger smiled and nodded, this method is good, as long as you listen to the command, it has nothing to do with whether there is amethyst or not.

  Lei Xingfeng had long been eyeing a piece of magma in the distance, near the opposite shore, about the size of several palms. The purple light emanating from there was quite strong. He threw out a piece of cooled magma the size of a walnut and said: "Tiger Uncle... challenge!"

  He stared at Leixingfeng's hand as he threw the stone, and immediately stared at the stone, watching where it fell. The long spear in his hand stabbed into the lava flow, and with a sudden jerk, a large cluster of lava flew towards Leixingfeng.

  Lei Xingfeng took a few steps back, and the boulder suddenly fell at his feet.

  "Haha, two pieces of purple crystal, top-quality purple crystal, haha..."

  All have apricot-sized amethysts, which are absolutely top-grade.

  He excitedly said: "Again! Haha!"

  As they worked in perfect harmony, Lei Xingfeng pointed to where the rocks were, and Shi Hu would pick them up. Lei Xingfeng didn't rush to cool down the magma either, waiting until a dozen or so rocks had been picked up before pouring water to cool them down together, collecting the purple crystals.

  Xin Zhaolun's harvest was much smaller on the other side, and he couldn't see any purple light either. However, he had a trick up his sleeve - he specifically targeted areas in the lava flow that were slightly different, such as being slightly darker or particularly bright. This way, he could still manage to get a few pieces of purple crystal by luck.

  By this time, Lei Xingfeng had somewhat understood that his eyes were different from others. He could see light that others couldn't see, especially when digging for minerals, it was even more pronounced.

  In three days, Leixingfeng obtained more than 300 top-quality purple crystals. As for the slightly inferior purple crystals, Leixingfeng mostly gave them away, especially to Xin Zhaolun, who received over a hundred palm-sized ones. Xin Zhaolun was almost overjoyed and kept saying that he was lucky to have brought Leixingfeng along, or else they wouldn't have had such a huge harvest.

  As for Jin Deya, Lei Xingfeng also took out a lot of purple crystals that he didn't like, and let them exchange them with other ores. Jin Deya was very happy to do so, taking out many newly dug up ores, as well as some rare ores that he had obtained before. Lei Xingfeng only spent a few dozen small purple crystals, but got a lot of ores in return, including even refined materials.

  Hammerhead and Crazy Axe also dug up a lot of ore, besides giving some to Xin Zhaolun, they also exchanged many items with Lei Xingfeng and Jin Daya, most of which were food. The two were very interested in Lei Xingfeng's braised meat and pickled meat. This time, Lei Xingfeng made a big profit. He had collected a lot of food in the Wheel Storage Space, enough for one person to eat for ten years without any problem.

  Of course, the hammer head and the axe must be traded, these ores they can't take away, because neither of them has a wheel storage space, even if traded, things will stay in Leixing Peak, until they return to Hanshui Castle, they can get food.

  That day, Lei Xingfeng was still by the lava flow, directing Xi Hu to retrieve the purple crystal. Xin Zhaolun walked over.

  He said: "A Feng, we are ready to leave, good heavens, how many purple crystals will be enough for you?"

  Lei Xingfeng chuckled and said, "This thing... can be exchanged for an ancestral ring with the ancestors. Tiger Uncle and Eagle Uncle are both short of ancestral rings, I want to save some more, exchange them with the ancestors, and also keep some ancestral rings for myself." Using ancestral rings to cultivate subordinates is a necessary means for their secret door, otherwise when they go out into the world, without powerful subordinates, how can they obtain resources.

  Xin Zhaolun nodded and said, "You finally understand what's important, hehe, with this batch of purple crystals, you can exchange for many印环. Even if Shifu and Zu Shi can't use them, they can still trade with other true monarchs. Hmm, we'll leave tomorrow, so today you can take as much as you want." In fact, he was also very depressed in his heart. No matter how hard he tried, the purple crystals he picked up were not even comparable to Lei Xingfeng's leftovers, which made him angry and go dig other ores in the end.

  Fortunately, Leixingfeng gave him a lot of purple crystals, which is the mutual help between brothers. After all, without Xinzhaolun's support and help, Leixingfeng would not have been able to come here. This mining point was obtained by Xinzhaolun, and without his consent, Leixingfeng would not have been able to come.

  Lei Xingfeng smiled and said: "If I can come again in the future...I won't have to work so hard to retrieve it."

  Xin Zhaolun said: "With the purple crystal... we can still come, use the purple crystal to exchange for opportunities, this time bringing you along is really my good fortune. I thought it was just this one opportunity, hehe, didn't expect to find so many purple crystals."

  Lei Xingfeng said somewhat puzzled: "Why don't we let Master come, he should be able to get more purple crystals."

  Xin Zhaolun smiled wryly and said, "Neither the master nor the ancestors would be willing to come in."

  Lei Xingfeng didn't understand and asked: "Why?"

  Xin Zhaolun said: "Because... suppression, the master's entry into this place will suppress his strength to be about the same as mine, which means danger. They are not willing to take such a risk, and having a disciple go is enough. Therefore... the top-level combat power here is the true body of the Ninth Ring True Man."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Will all foreign worlds suppress cultivation?"

  Xin Zhaolun said, "It won't, and some foreign worlds will even increase their cultivation. Each is different, and also...foreign worlds cannot be stayed in for long. Some can stay for several years, while others can only stay for ten days or so. They must return to the secret door, otherwise it will be harmful to the body."

  Lei Xingfeng exclaimed in surprise: "This... still has such a weakness, okay, I know now." He still lacked a lot of knowledge and experience, but he also knew that if he advanced to the ninth rank true body, in this outer world, basically as long as he wasn't surrounded by a large number of high-level experts of the same level, there was basically no danger.

  Xin Zhaolun said, "Once again, I went to an outer world. Hehe, that place was so powerful that even my cultivation was suppressed. The most suitable place for me there was the Eight-Ring True Body. Hehe, there are a few places where you can go and play after advancing to the Sixth Ring. Those places often have some pretty fierce beasts."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Beast? You mean go hunting?"

  Xin Zhaolun nodded and said, "Yes, it's hunting. The wild beasts there... their meat is often of the highest quality, not only delicious but also very beneficial to the body. In addition to these, one can also cultivate their own combat experience and awareness. Hunting and harvesting, as well as fighting, all in one go, many people from the secret sects will go."

  It wasn't until Lei Xingfeng was about to leave that he finally stopped, after tidying up a bit, he arrived at the gathering place of everyone.

  Xin Zhaolun said: "We'd better hurry back, the weather is starting to get really cold. We should return to Hanshui Fort before it gets any colder."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "It's too hot here. Let's go to the exit and wear our thick clothes." He is now wearing only a thin pair of pants and a single layer of clothing.

  ……

  "Brr!"

  Coming outside, Lei Xingfeng felt the real cold for the first time. Even though he was wrapped up like a big package, the cold wind directly penetrated and entered, with a bone-chilling chill that made his leather cloak stiffen.

  Forced Lei Xingfeng to constantly use electric arcs outside his body, except for Hammerhead and Crazy Axe, a faint layer of light flashed on everyone's body. If not, it would have frozen stiff in the cold.

  Hammerhead and Crazy Axe also showed a cautious expression on their faces, even if the two of them were indigenous people who had some fear of this cold. Hammerhead said: "We must hurry up and walk, we can't stay still, try to move as much as possible, otherwise it's easy to freeze!" He spoke while constantly shaking his body.

  Xin Zhaolun said: "Go!"

  A rope tied seven people together, and the seven quickly walked towards Hanjia Fort.

  The wind is even stronger now.

  The howling wind was so loud that it even produced a sharp, piercing whistling sound, which made people's eardrums ache. Leixing Peak couldn't help but curse: "This is indeed a murderous wind!" Even with his exceptionally good eyesight, he could hardly see ten meters ahead of him.

  Lei Xingfeng still held a steel shield in his hand, resisting the wind that came straight at him, which could slightly alleviate the biting cold.

  Snowflakes hit the shield and made a metallic collision sound, ringing continuously.
