I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 568: Chapter 566 The Shame of the Thunder Beast_1

“Haha, since we three are neighbors, we should look out for each other. With cultivators from Thunder Fire Asterism Cave patrolling and guarding, safety within the Thunder Sea is generally ensured, and we can take the opportunity explore together.”

The cyclops middle-aged man laughed heartily.

“Absolutely, absolutely.”

Lu Xuan was eagerly nodding.

“Alright, it’s getting late. I won’t disturb you, Friend Lu, any longer. When you have time, feel free to come over to the residence for a visit and we can exchange cultivation experiences.”

The two chatted for a while and then got up to leave.

“Sure, I will come and visit the two of you when I get the chance.”

Lu Xuan asked the two for detailed directions to their residences and took out two white jade small bottles from his storage bag.

“Just like the spiritual juice we just drank, these bottles are filled with my own brew. I hope that both of you can take these back to your residence and enjoy them in your free time.”

“Thank you for your generous gift, Friend Lu.”

Upon hearing this, delight showed on their faces. They took the white jade small bottles and disappeared into the thunder light.

Lu Xuan activated the formation, hiding his residence within the thick white fog.

Upon returning to his courtyard, he fell silent.

“I definitely have to go to the Thunder Sea. The main reason why I chose Thunder Fire Asterism Cave was to conveniently cultivate the Sixth-Rank Phoenix Wood and Zewei Oblivion Thunderfruit.”

“With a cultivator from Heavenly Star Cave standing guard, there should be no major safety issues.”

While he was lost in his thoughts, he decided to take a trip to the Thunder Sea in a few days.

Most importantly, he’s confident in his current strength with his handful of treasures. Even against an ordinary core-forming cultivator, he can still put up a fight.

Seven days later, he meticulously tended to the spirit plants in his magical cave, then set off towards the Thunder Sea.

Along the way, the subtler thunder light scattered throughout the whole Thunder Fire Asterism Cave would automatically avoid Lu Xuan under the function of Thunderfire Order.

Lu Xuan traveled at a leisurely pace, while not forgetting to observe his surroundings.

“The area of Thunder Fire Asterism Cave is really not small, other caves can be seen everywhere. However, it’s rare to find ones that are larger than mine. There are even cases where several people rent a courtyard together.”

His spiritual sense greatly surpasses ordinary Foundation Establishment Late-term Cultivators. After a casual scan, he could clearly understand everything around him.

“There are quite a few Qi-Cultivators living in the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave, but it should be difficult for ordinary Loose Cultivators to afford the long-term rent.”

“They probably chose to live in Thunder Fire Asterism Cave for a short time in order to practice a certain Thunder-style cultivation technique or to harvest some kind of Lightning Power.”

Lu Xuan speculated.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators are extremely common in Thunder Fire Asterism Cave; they are even not fewer than Qi-Cultivators.

He also quickly noticed a Jindan Cultivator’s residence and promptly avoided it.

Half a day later, he arrived at the edge of Thunder Sea.

The border stretched continuously, and every ten miles or so, there would be a monk from Heavenly Star Cave stationed.

He had previously learned from Lei Zheng and Luo Ming that Heavenly Star Cave had opened many passages in Thunder Sea, which made it easy for cultivators to enter. As long as you showed the monk guarding the Thunderfire Order, you could enter Thunder Sea for a period of time.

If you wanted to bypass the stationed monk and carve out a new path to enter somewhere else, firstly, the difficulty was quite high unless you had the strength of a Jindan cultivator. Secondly, you may encounter unknown dangers, not knowing what kind of mysterious Thunder Beast or Thunderbolt Phenomenon you might encounter.

Lu Xuan had no intention of testing Thunder Sea with his own body. He earnestly approached one of the stationed monks.

“Fellow Daoist, please show me your Thunderfire Order.”

Waiting for the few people in front of him to enter Thunder Sea, the monk who was standing guard said with a smile.

Lu Xuan hurriedly took out his Thunderfire Order and handed it to the monk.

The monk took a stamp covered in intricate silver-white thunder patterns and lightly pressed the Thunderfire Order, then handed it back to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan learned from Lei Zheng and Luo Ming that the number of times you could search Thunder Sea and acquire resources was limited. The decision was determined according to the lease term and rent paid by the cultivators in Thunder Fire Asterism Cave to avoid cultivators taking advantage of the situation.

Lu Xuan took a look at the Thunderfire Order in his hand and seemed to feel a hint of subtle changes occurring inside, but was unable to perceive what specifically was happening.

“Fellow Daoist, this is your first time entering Thunder Sea, right?”

The stationed monk learned this information from the Thunderfire Order and asked Lu Xuan.

“Yes, it is.”

Lu Xuan admitted honestly.

“There are many mysterious Thunder Beasts in Thunder Sea, some of which are highly aggressive and extremely dangerous for cultivators.”

“However, Thunder Beasts mainly inhabit the central area, so Fellow Daoist need not worry.”

“Entering Thunder Sea through this passage, you might run into a Thunder Beast. It has the power close to an Early Jindan Stage Cultivator and can be easily identified by its distinctive physical features.”

“This Thunder Beast is different from other Thunder Beasts. It often stays on the side of the passage and does not actively attack cultivators entering the Thunder Sea. All it asks for is a spirit fruit or a piece of Demon Beast Meat.”

“If Fellow Daoist happens to encounter it, you can try to feed it or choose to avoid it, but I do not recommend engaging it in a fight.”

“Most likely, cultivators below Jindan Stage won’t be able to defeat it.”

The stationed monk suggested.

“A monster that stays on guard for food?”

“That’s truly a disgrace for the Thunder Beasts…”

“What’s more pathetic is that the passing-by cultivators can’t even defeat it.”

Lu Xuan found it amusing in his heart. He held the Thunderfire Order in his hand and moved into the outer area of Thunder Sea.

“Boom!”

As soon as he entered, a thunderclap exploded next to his ear. It was deafening and imposing.

All around him, countless thunder lights were slowly moving. Occasionally, a thick thunderbolt would pop up from the depths and strike down violently.

Thankfully, he had the Thunderfire Order in his hand that allowed him to evade the risk of being struck by thunderbolt.

“However, judging from the current state of the Thunderfire Order, its endurance seems to be limited. If I were to go deeper into the Thunder Sea, it wouldn’t be able to dispel all the thunderbolt power like it’s doing now.”

Lu Xuan noticed this phenomenon.

Suddenly, he had an idea. The Mirage Sound Pearl, which was merged into his throat, emerged and changed shape continuously.

It seemed like all the thunderclap sounds were entering the pearl.

“Boom!”

Lu Xuan opened his mouth, and a violent thunderclap sound exploded out, causing the surrounding thunder energy to fluctuate.

“The Mirage Sound Pearl has learned another type of strange sound.”

Lu Xuan kept experimenting and became more proficient. In the end, there was no significant difference between the sound he made and the actual thunderclap.

The Mirage Sound Pearl in his throat was made from the Demon Core of an Ancient Strange Beast Mirage Sound Beast. It could collect, imitate, and stimulate strange sounds in the world, and was useful in various ways.

When he sensed various strange thunderclap sounds within the Thunder Sea, he had a sudden inspiration to collect and imitate various thunderclap sounds. It also added a new sonic attack method.

“Thunderclap sounds are often powerful and domineering, especially for evil spirits and demons.”

Pleased with himself, Lu Xuan moved on.

After traveling two or three miles, he suddenly sensed a powerful strange beast ahead.

He was taken aback. Upon remembering the Thunder Beast that asked for food mentioned by the stationed monk, he decided to observe from a distance.

About thirty feet ahead was a wolf-shaped monster. Its fur was silver-white and occasionally lit up with thunder light, making each strand of its fur stand on end.

This monster was huge and always crouched still. Its rounded belly touched the ground, showing a docile temperament that was out of sync with its strength and appearance.

“Is this the disgraceful Thunder Beast?”

Lu Xuan immediately realized.
