"Master, including Qian Sheng, there are a total of five people on the opposite side, and there's also Xiao Xingkong," Zuo Zongshou assessed the strength of both sides and grew increasingly uneasy. "Once the battle starts... we might be in great danger."
"It’s fine." A calm voice echoed in his mind. At the same time, Fang Chen, who had been standing behind Zuo Zongshou, stepped forward confidently towards Xiao Xingkong and his group.
As he moved, Zuo Zongshou gritted his teeth and followed.
"Brother Xiao, where is that Thunder Crystal location?" Zuo Zongshou asked directly as they approached. He knew that Fang Chen's boldness was due to the prospect of the Thunder Crystals.
A few hundred meters away, Xiao Xingkong pointed behind him towards the chaotic area filled with lightning frenzy. "Over there, there should be a large number of Thunder Crystals!"
"Thunder Crystals!" As soon as Xiao Xingkong finished speaking, Fang Chen's eyes lit up.
Thunder Crystals are energy cores similar to spirit stones. However, unlike spirit stones that contain Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, Thunder Crystals are infused with Frenzied Thunder Power. This Frenzy is much milder compared to the lightning generated directly from nature. More importantly, while spirit stones are relatively common, Thunder Crystals are extremely rare.
The rarity makes them valuable; even the roughest low-grade Thunder Crystal can be exchanged for thousands of spirit stones of the same level. Moreover, they are often in high demand but low supply.
"What level of Thunder Crystals are in there?" Fang Chen asked for the first time upon seeing Xiao Xingkong's group.
Seeing Fang Chen's eager expression, Xiao Xingkong's group secretly looked down on him. However, since they had already considered the two as dead men, to save some effort later and have them willingly participate, Xiao Xingkong did not hesitate to share. "There are a few low-grade ones, a large number of mid-grade ones, and possibly a very small number of high-grade ones."
"Whoa..."
As soon as these words were spoken, even Zuo Zongshou, who had little interest in Thunder Crystals before, widened his eyes and suddenly found it hard to breathe.
Although Thunder Crystals containing Thunder Power were not particularly useful to him, they represented immense wealth—an enormous fortune.
In martial arts, aside from talent, isn't it all about wealth?!
People die for wealth just as birds die for food; such a massive fortune could drive Alchemy Realm warriors to fight desperately for it.
"Cough cough." Just then, Fang Chen, who had been fervently excited, suddenly cleared his throat lightly and innocently asked again, "So what do you mean by cooperation?"
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Xingkong raised an eyebrow and looked at Fang Chen more closely. The reason he had deliberately mentioned Thunder Crystals was to shock Fang Chen and Zuo Zongshou with this wealth. After all, facing such a large sum would astonish even warriors at the Alchemy Realm level. In this situation, it would be much easier for him to entice them into doing something later. He just didn't expect that Fang Chen—whom he had initially dismissed—would react so quickly after showing interest.
However, even so, Xiao Xingkong was only momentarily puzzled. A mere Fang Chen who had not reached the Alchemy Realm, along with Zuo Zongshou at the Peak of the Transformation Realm, could hardly stir up any waves in his eyes. Therefore, after a brief moment of surprise, Xiao Xingkong didn't care much and smiled lightly, squinting his eyes as he said, "The Thunder Power there is extremely fierce, with heavy Thunder Barriers. We have tried to break through but have repeatedly failed. I think if we add your strength to the mix, we might be able to breach the barriers and delve deeper."
"What lies beneath? Just Thunder Crystals?" At this moment, Zuo Zongshou also reacted, frowning as he asked in a deep voice.
"Not just Thunder Crystals; there are also individual life fluctuations. Besides that, there may even be spiritual artifacts present," Xiao Xingkong chuckled and replied.
"Individual life fluctuations? Beasts? What level of beasts?" Zuo Zongshou's expression became slightly serious as he questioned.
"I don't know, but from the aura revealed by their life fluctuations, they shouldn't be too strong—likely at the Alchemy Realm level or at most not exceeding the Primordial Embryo Realm," Xiao Xingkong asserted confidently. Then, noticing that Zuo Zongshou wanted to ask more questions, he frowned in annoyance and said, "I've already told you enough. As our cooperation deepens, you'll naturally learn more."
"How do we cooperate?" Fang Chen interjected.
Xiao Xingkong glanced at him briefly before quickly shifting his gaze back to Zuo Zongshou and said, "We need to join forces to break the Thunder Barrier." It was clear he did not regard Fang Chen highly.
Fang Chen was unfazed and took a few steps back to give way to Zuo Zongshou.
"What method do we use to break it?" Understanding Fang Chen's intention, Zuo Zongshou asked.
"That will require everyone to come up with their own ideas," Xiao Xingkong frowned. "You all know how terrifying the Thunder Power is for the soul. The lightning interwoven on that Thunder Barrier will instantly obliterate your souls if it surges into your minds."
"You've been with the Thick Earth Sect for so long; have you made any progress? Found any methods to break it?" Zuo Zongshou asked again.
"We haven't found a way yet. You should research it; hopefully, you can find a good strategy," Xiao Xingkong said with a helpless expression.
"I'll go take a look," Fang Chen suddenly said.
Zuo Zongshou was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit up as he nodded and said, "Be careful, junior brother."
"Yes, senior brother, you just watch from the side," Fang Chen smiled brightly and walked alone toward the thunderous area behind him.
"This..." Qian Sheng's face was grim, and beside him, Xiao Xingkong and his group also looked somewhat displeased.
How did one person go, and it was someone who hasn't even reached the Alchemy Realm?
"Brother Zuo, you’d better go with him. Alone, that... is too dangerous, and your junior disciple hasn’t reached the Alchemy Realm yet," Xiao Xingkong kindly reminded.
"No need. If he wants to go over there, let him take a look. Besides, before leaving, the master instructed me to let Junior Disciple explore more in the Colorful Sacred Realm to broaden his horizons. And my Junior Disciple, don’t be fooled by his low cultivation level; his life-saving skills are quite impressive," Zuo Zongshou said confidently, shaking his head with a smile.
Seeing Zuo Zongshou like this, Xiao Xingkong was momentarily at a loss for words.
"I understand now," Qian Sheng said with a sly smile. "What broadening horizons? I think you've long been dissatisfied with your junior disciple and just want him to go and die on purpose."
"Is entering the Thunder Barrier just going to die? Then why are you urging me to go in? Do you want me to die too?" Zuo Zongshou's smile suddenly vanished as he coldly stared at Qian Sheng, a chilling aura emanating from him.
Seeing this scene, Qian Sheng immediately realized he had said something he shouldn’t have.
"Shut up!" Xiao Xingkong's face turned cold as he scolded.
In an instant, the atmosphere around them became somewhat strange.
