Chapter Thirteen: Thunder Sect
After flying for three months, the group finally arrived at a majestic and steep mountain.
This mountain towers into the clouds, and the peak cannot be seen at a glance. On the mountainside, many palaces are densely built.
In front of the mountain gate, there is a huge stone more than one foot high, with the three characters of Leiming Sect engraved on it.
To the surprise of Su Yi and the others, a large number of people gathered in front of the gate of Leiming Mountain, which Sun Zhi said was inaccessible.
There are many foundation-building monks among them, about a dozen of them, which makes Sun Zhi, who is known as the Half-Step Golden Pill, not dare to make a mistake.
Sun Zhi found a person in the Qi refining stage and asked about it.
"My dear friend, may I ask why there are so many monks gathered in front of the gate of Lei Ming Sect?"
The monk in the Qi Refining Stage was a fat and fair young man. When he saw the senior in the Foundation Establishment Stage asking questions, he quickly responded:
"To be honest, senior, these few days are the grand opening ceremony of Lei Ming Sect's Thunder Tower once every ten years. I am here this time to accompany an elder of the sect to have a long experience."
After finishing speaking, he pointed to a middle-aged monk in the early stage of foundation building sitting on the ground not far away and said.
"Thunder Tower? Isn't that the place where Patriarch Lei Ming stores his treasures and elixirs? How can the Thunder Sect be opened?"
Hearing the words "Thunder Tower", even Wang Da couldn't hold himself back and stepped forward to ask.
"It seems that some of them are from out of town and know little about the Thunder Sect. Here's what happened..."
Next, the fat young man told the whole story.
It turns out that after Patriarch Lei Ming passed away, several Nascent Soul monsters who had long coveted Patriarch Lei Ming's treasures came to attack the Lei Ming Sect.
The disciples of the Thunder Sect followed their ancestor's instructions before his death and put all the Nascent Soul monks into the Thunder Tower. As a result, without exception, they all ran out in disgrace.
There are several sharp thunder-attribute formations engraved in the Thunder Tower. Ordinary Nascent Soul Stage monks, as long as they don't have thunder spirit roots, can't do anything with the formations in the tower.
However, as time goes by, the power of the formation will be greatly reduced.
In order to protect themselves, the Thunder Sect also promised to open the Thunder Tower every ten years, provided that when the Thunder Sect encounters a crisis of annihilation, those Nascent Soul monsters will come to help.
Since many Nascent Soul old monsters have died over the past thousand years, and the power of the formation in the Thunder Tower is only slightly weaker than before, the Thunder Tower has not been taken away by other Nascent Soul monsters.
However, the Thunder Tower's opening day every ten years still attracts countless foundation-building monks to explore.
For no other reason than Thunder Tower is divided into nine floors.
In the bottom three floors, there are countless elixirs that are helpful for Qi training and even foundation-building monks. Many nearby foundation-building monks found suitable elixirs in the Thunder Tower before they broke through.
As for the middle three floors, although there are a large number of pills that are helpful to the Golden Core Stage monks, when the old Nascent Soul monsters broke through the barrier, they were cautious and did not destroy the formations on the middle three floors of the Thunder Tower.
After all, those old monsters don't want too many golden elixir monks to appear. If there are too many golden elixir monks, if a few of them encounter the opportunity to break through the Nascent Soul, wouldn't it mean that there will be a few more equally powerful opponents out of thin air.
"Since there are so many benefits in the Thunder Tower, why are there mostly monks in the foundation-building stage and very few in the Qi-refining stage?" Wang Da asked doubtfully.
"Hey, senior, you are a fool for thinking that you are a monk of the Thunder Sect. You are asked to enter the Thunder Tower to pick up treasures for no reason? Let me tell you, every time you enter the Thunder Tower, you have to pay a large sum of spiritual stones,"
When the fat young man said this, he felt a little indignant: "Originally, it's okay to give some spirit stones, but the spirit stones collected by the Thunder Sect are enough to cultivate a monk in the late stage of Qi refining period, plus bringing the elixir treasures with him
You have to pay a huge amount of spiritual stones to leave the Thunder Tower, and only a fool would be fooled."
When the fat young man said this, many young monks in the Qi refining stage nearby resonated with him.
"That's right, the Lei Ming Sect has made a lot of money by collecting spiritual stones in recent years!"
"If the master hadn't said he wanted to take me here to learn more, I wouldn't have come."
"These profiteers are really hateful."
Sun Zhi and Wang Da looked at each other, knowing what the other was thinking.
You must know that elixirs for monks in the Qi Refining Stage can be purchased with spirit stones, but sometimes elixirs that are helpful for monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage cannot be purchased even with spirit stones.
Since there are foundation-building elixirs in the Thunder Tower, we have to go there anyway.
However, the most important thing right now is to find out the whereabouts of Zhao Qian.
Although killing Zhao Qian in the Thunder Sect's territory may offend the Thunder Sect, several people can do it after the Thunder Tower breakthrough is completed.
At this time, several green-robed Taoist priests walked out from Lei Ming Sect.
One of the leaders said expressionlessly: "The Thunder Tower trial has officially begun. All monks who want to enter the Thunder Tower, please hand over the spirit stones. Each one will receive fifty intermediate spirit stones."
"What? Fifty mid-level spiritual stones for one person? You're trying to steal money!"
"Profiteer, what a bastard, what a fucking profiteer."
It was Wang Da and Sun Zhi who spoke. After they heard the price of the spiritual stone that was far beyond their expectations, they cursed one after another.
The other foundation-building monks present looked at the two of them like ignorant country bumpkins.
The two realized that their behavior was inconsistent with their status as foundation-building seniors, and they both stopped talking.
"Don't enter the Thunder Tower yet. Let me inquire about the whereabouts of that boy Zhao Qian first. Don't forget the purpose of our coming this time." Wang Er said.
"Second brother, you have a straightforward temper. Remember to be careful with your words when inquiring, so as not to let the other party discover our intentions." Wang Da warned.
Wang Er nodded, walked up to a Lei Ming Sect disciple, and asked carefully.
After a while, Wang Er came back cursing.
"What's the matter, second brother, are the Lei Mingzong people giving you a hard time?" Wang Da asked.
"No, that guy told everything about Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian did join the Thunder Sect, but he is no longer a member of the sect at this time and has gone to Thunder Tower to break through." Wang Er pondered.
"In this case, it seems we have to go to Thunder Tower." Wang Da said.
Everyone present was eager to try it, and Sun Qi's eyes were even brighter.
Wang Da asked: "Since Lei Ming Sect disciples are so easy to talk to, what were you scolding just now?"
Wang Er said: "These Lei Ming Sect disciples are really profiteers. I just asked for information and they accepted a mid-level spiritual stone from me."
After saying that, everyone was speechless for a while. This Thunder Sect is not so much a sect that cultivates immortality, but is more like a chamber of commerce that does business. They seize every opportunity to collect spiritual stones.
After everyone handed over a spirit stone that made some small families feel extremely painful, the Thunder Tower trial officially began.
The Lei Ming Sect gave each person who handed over the spirit stone a jade talisman to test. This was the jade talisman that came out of the Life-Leading Tower.
Su Yi also received one, but he didn't have that many mid-level spiritual stones. The cost of his spiritual stones was paid to him by Wang Da.
There are nine floors in Thunder Tower. No one knows which floor Zhao Qian is on, so they have to take Su Yi with them.
"Open the altar!"
I saw seven Lei Ming Sect disciples walking up to an altar made of stones and forming a formation. At the same time, they were holding talismans and seals and chanting non-stop.
Not long after, a giant tower appeared in mid-air. As soon as the giant tower appeared, a soft light emitted from the bottom of the tower, shrouding everyone in it.
"Okay, everyone just needs to relax and the formation in the Thunder Tower will teleport everyone into the tower."
Su Yi followed the words and relaxed his mind.
After a whooshing sound, Su Yi and others arrived at the Thunder Tower.
The first floor of Thunder Tower turned out to be an endless plain, which made Su Yi and others marvel.
...
On the second floor of the Thunder Tower, a young man wearing the costume of a disciple of the Thunder Sect was holding a long knife and fighting hard to kill a level three porcupine monster.
Suddenly, a golden light flew from a distance.
The young man frowned, raised his hand, and took the golden light into his hand.
The golden light turned into a talisman, and a male voice came from inside the talisman.
This talisman is the transmission talisman used for communication in the world of immortality.
After listening to the contents of the talisman seal, the murderous look on the young man's face flashed away.
"After all, Mr. Zhao has lived and died for the Wang family for hundreds of years. Since you don't miss your old kindness and insist on clinging to it to the end, then Mr. Zhao won't be polite."
After saying this, he patted the storage bag on his waist, and a treasure with blue light appeared in his hand.
This young man is none other than King Zhongjing of Seizing She, who fled to Zhao Qian of Lei Ming Sect in order to escape the pursuit of the Wang family.
