Liu Guanfeng pointed to Little Black beside him and said, "Xuantian, this one is also a disciple of the Xuanwu Master. I believe that according to the order of entry, you should be his junior."
"Oh? Why is that? I have only been cultivating here for over five hundred years and have already become a Divine Knight beast. Why is this little junior still at the Ninth Tier peak?" Xuantian asked in confusion.
Little Black shook his head beside them. "If we count it, I have been cultivating with the four masters like Qinglong and Xuanwu for over a thousand years. My situation is quite special; I cannot absorb energy from the outside world at all and can only rely on the energy contained in lightning during thunderstorms. That's why even after more than a thousand years, I am still at the Ninth Tier."
At this moment, Xuantian shrank his body to match Little Black's size. "Big Black, are you saying you can only absorb energy from lightning?"
Little Black nodded helplessly. "Yes, but every time there's thunder, I can't even absorb half of the energy from a single lightning bolt, let alone advance. Reaching the Ninth Tier peak was still thanks to that Mutated Wolf King Core Xiaofeng gave me last time."
"Big Black, you're just in time. I have a treasure here that I think you'll like," Xuantian said with a smile.
"A treasure? What kind of treasure?" Little Black's interest was piqued by Xuantian.
"Brothers, please follow me," Xuantian said as he turned and walked into a cave, with Liu Guanfeng and Little Black following closely behind.
Upon entering the cave, they first encountered a massive cavern that seemed as large as a football field. In the center of the cavern was a huge blacksmith's furnace. However, there was no heat left in the furnace; after all, it had not been used for over five hundred years.
Xuantian did not linger in the cavern and walked straight to the back. At the end of the cavern were three small openings, and Xuantian headed toward the leftmost one. Liu Guanfeng and Little Black followed without saying much.
As soon as they entered the small cave, Liu Guanfeng could sense a fragrant aroma coming from within, accompanied by fluctuations of energy. This kind of energy was familiar to both Liu Guanfeng and Little Black; it resembled the fluctuations that occurred before lightning during rainstorms, indicating that there should be something containing lightning energy inside.
Liu Guanfeng and Little Black exchanged glances at this moment. Xuantian turned back with a smile and said to them, "How about it, brothers? Can you feel anything?"
Liu Guanfeng and Little Black nodded without speaking and continued to follow Xuantian deeper inside.
When they reached the innermost part, they found a small stone chamber filled with many natural stone pillars. Each pillar stood about two meters tall and was covered with vines. The leaves on these vines resembled lightning shapes.
In the center hung a fruit that looked somewhat like grapes; however, instead of being individual grapes, it was one whole entity. The fruit was deep purple in color and had golden thread-like patterns on its surface.
After seeing the fruit, Little Black could no longer stand still. His eyes were fixed on the purple fruit in the center, and his whole body swayed as if he were drunk. After a few minutes, Little Black slowly regained his composure, but his voice was filled with excitement: "Xuantian, could this fruit be...?"
Seeing Little Black's excitement, Liu Guanfeng was puzzled. Although he knew that this fruit contained the energy of lightning, it shouldn't warrant such a reaction. As a disciple of the Four Sacred Mountains and one of the Four Sacred Beasts, wouldn't they have plenty of heavenly treasures?
Xuantian looked at Little Black and nodded gently: "Brother, you guessed correctly; this is indeed the Purple Gold Thunderfruit."
Liu Guanfeng watched the conversation between his two senior brothers with confusion and finally couldn't help but ask, "Black Senior Brother, what exactly is this Purple Gold Thunderfruit?"
Hearing Liu Guanfeng's question, Little Black shot another glance at the Purple Gold Thunderfruit before turning his head away, as if looking at it once meant losing a chance to see it again: "The Purple Gold Thunderfruit is a rather rare fruit on the Knight Continent. It contains incredibly astonishing Thunder Energy and is one of the few fruits on the continent that holds such energy. Among all fruits containing Thunder Energy, the Purple Gold Thunderfruit is the best. Not only does it contain immense energy, but the energy it holds is also very gentle. It is very easy to absorb, which minimizes energy loss during absorption. This makes it a sacred fruit for all lightning attribute beings and magical beasts.
When I first learned about this fruit's existence on the Knight Continent, my four masters and Shishu searched everywhere to find one for me to consume, but even after a thousand years, they couldn't find it. I never expected to see it here today."
After hearing Little Black's words, Xuantian nodded repeatedly: "Big Black, since that's the case, then this fruit is yours. You arrived just in time; this fruit has already ripened for three days. In these three days, many lightning attribute Sea Beasts have come by. However, I dealt with them all. I was thinking that if no one ate it soon, who knows how many Sea Beasts would come."
Upon hearing Xuantian's words, Little Black shook his head: "This fruit is too precious; I can't just accept your gift."
"Big Black, you're being too polite. First of all, I'm a Water Attribute magical beast; what do I need with a lightning attribute fruit? Although it's a sacred fruit for your kind, to me it's not even as tasty as ordinary fruit. Secondly, we are brothers; accepting this as a greeting gift is only right. If you refuse to accept it, it means you don't consider me one of your own. In that case, there's no point in keeping you here."
Seeing Xuantian's earnest words, Liu Guanfeng said to Little Black: "Big Black, since Xuantian has said so, you shouldn't refuse anymore. If you wait too long to eat it like Xuantian said, more lightning attribute Sea Beasts might come by; that would make things even harder for him. Plus, if the fruit over-ripens and rots away, that would be too much of a waste."
Listening to their conversation, Little Black nodded at Xuantian: "In that case, thank you for your kind offer; I won't be polite."
"You should have accepted it long ago! Haha! Xiaofeng, let's go outside and wait; Big Black might release some lightning when consuming the fruit. It wouldn't be good if you got hurt."
Liu Guanfeng smiled slightly at Xuantian: "Xuantian, I'll stay here with Big Black. I want to see Big Black's lightning energy in action."
"That won't do! If you get hurt, my Benefactor will probably beat me up." Seeing Xuantian's expression made Liu Guanfeng feel sympathy; he guessed that Xuantian had been beaten by Xuanwu quite a bit to be so afraid.
Little Black laughed heartily from the side: "Alright Xiaofeng, stop scaring Xuantian! You don't know that our Junior Brother here may not be of the lightning attribute but isn't afraid of lightning at all. He always absorbs Thunder Energy with me during cultivation. So now this Junior Brother not only has Chaotic Qi but also has mixed lightning energy within his Fighting Qi."
After hearing Little Black's words, Xuantian looked Liu Guanfeng up and down: "Is that true?"
Liu Guanfeng nodded, "Xuantian, you see how young I am, I haven't even married yet, so why would I think about dying? Don't worry, this amount of energy is no problem for me."
"Since both of you say so, then I can rest assured. Big Black, you take your time to absorb the fruit inside. I'll go outside to protect you and prevent other beasts from causing trouble." He then turned to the side and said to xp, "Are you planning to absorb Thunder Energy here as well?"
xp shook his head, "I don't want to. I haven't married yet either, so how could I possibly die here? I'm not as crazy as my master."
Upon hearing this, Liu Guanfeng turned his face, "xp, what are you saying? Just because you're a Ninth-Stage Beast doesn't mean I won't deal with you."
xp immediately came to Liu Guanfeng's side and rubbed his head against Liu Guanfeng's thigh, "Master, I was just using a metaphor. Who told you to act more beastly than me?"
"Alright, alright, hurry up and go out with Xuantian to protect me." Liu Guanfeng lightly kicked xp, who was desperately trying to please him.
"Master, I'm going out now. You take care of yourself."
"Yeah, I know. Keep an eye on things."
xp and Xuantian walked out of the small stone chamber. At this moment, Little Black also approached the Purple Gold Thunderfruit, looked at it, and then sniffed it vigorously. With one bite, he took the entire fruit into his mouth. As soon as the fruit was bitten into, the vines nearby immediately crackled with electricity and rushed towards Little Black.
This energy should not be underestimated. Seeing this situation, Liu Guanfeng exclaimed "Not good," and dashed forward in a single leap. He placed his hand on Little Black's body and used the Lightning Summoning Technique to channel the lightning from the vines through Little Black's body into himself, concentrating it all in the dragon pearl in his abdomen.
Seeing Liu Guanfeng's actions, Little Black broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Liu Guanfeng was by his side; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. The Thunder Energy that had just transmitted from the vines was at least equivalent to three bolts of lightning. But now it was fine; all the energy had been absorbed by Liu Guanfeng. At this moment, Liu Guanfeng closed his eyes and entered a meditative state; he urgently needed to digest this lightning energy.
Little Black glanced gratefully at Liu Guanfeng, who was still in meditation, then bit down hard and pulled the entire fruit down. The fruit melted in his mouth, and a sweet juice flowed down Little Black's throat. Little Black gradually closed his eyes and lay down beside Liu Guanfeng, entering a meditative state as well.
Outside the small door, Xuantian and xp were two bored beasts playing around.
"Your name is xp?"
xp nodded.
"You are a Hell Snow Mastiff, and a Ninth Tier one at that. How did you become my Junior Brother's Mount, and even sign a slave contract?"
XP briefly recounted how he met Liu Guanfeng, eventually became his Mount, and later the Spirit Gathering Array created by Qinglong, along with the elixirs gifted by Zhuque, to Xuantian.
Listening to this, Xuantian was dumbfounded. He never expected that his Benefactor actually had fellow disciples, and their abilities were not inferior to his Benefactor's.
"How about we discuss something?" XP looked at Xuantian.
"What is it?"
"How about you release my Junior Brother from the contract? Then I can be his Mount. As compensation, I promise to do three things for you, is that acceptable?"
XP shot Xuantian a glance: "You think too highly of yourself. Letting me break the contract with my master? My master treats me very well; I want to repay him more. Besides, I know that if I stay by my master's side, one day I will also become a Divine Beast."
"We can negotiate. Why don't you propose a condition? As long as it's something I can do, I won't go back on my word. All you need to do is agree to release the contract, and then I'll talk to my Junior Brother."
"No way, no way. No conditions will work; don't bother me." After saying this, XP ignored Xuantian.
If anyone overheard the conversation between the two magical beasts, they would surely be astonished. A Ninth Tier Hell Snow Mastiff and a Divine Knight's giant tortoise were arguing over who would be someone else's Mount, and even under a slave contract. Even powerful Divine Knights would envy them to the point of spitting blood.
Meanwhile, the person and beast in the stone chamber gradually entered deep cultivation...
