Chapter 15: Lingering Vengeance
Lightning Lucky Mountain, also known as Disorder Lake Mountain.
This was a very mysterious place where thunderstorms appeared every few days, but the scary thing was that the lightning struck very close together, nothing could survive here, therefore, no one chose to live here.
This kind of a place was a treasure to XinFeng, a holy land for cultivating.
XinFeng cultivated regularly, and thanks to his good potential, his leveling speed was pretty good through normal practicing, but compared to training under a lightning storm, it was completely different. The speed difference was like a bull pulled cart against a sports car, it was just that lightning storms were hard to come by, last time the old man Lei Bao took a long time to find one.
Even with the rainy season, it was hard for XinFeng to find a lightning storm, and even if he found one it might have dispersed by the time he got there.
XinFeng came to Lightning Lucky Mountain, and chance would have it that it had a clear sky, it did not even have rain, much less lightning.
Qian Zhen Kun pointed at the lake mountain in front and laughed, “That’s the Lightning Lucky Mountain, en, it’s not very big but it is rather famous here for its lighting storms.”
XinFeng looked at the water mountain not too far away and laughed, “What a strange mountain, no wonder it’s called the Disorder Lake Mountain.”
The Disorder Lake Mountain was indeed very strange, there were countless mountain peaks on the boundless lake, tall and short peaks were dispersed on the lake’s surface and they could barely see the lake mountain. There wasn’t any plants, it was a bare mountain revealing only a rocky surface, only at the foot of the mountain was there reeds.
Looking at it for a while, XinFeng spoke, “Let’s go over.”
They did not have boats here, they had come from the Lun spot onto a small piece of land surrounded by water. Qian Zhen Kun smiled bitterly, “Do we swim there?”
Feng Ying spoke, “I’ll do it.”
Shi Hu was already squatting down, and XinFeng was already on his back. Feng Ying grabbed Qian Zhen Kun and flew towards the Lightning Lucky Mountain, causing Qian Zhen Kun to shout in shock and Feng Ying to shout, “Shut up!”
Qian Zhen Kun was instantly flushed, he wasn’t scared, it was just too sudden to suddenly be flying in the skies, even though he was a true master, he couldn’t control himself.
Carrying XinFeng, Shi Hu flew there quickly, and within a dozen seconds, they had reached the top of one of the peaks.
XinFeng looked at Qian Zhen Kun, “You return first, if there’s any news let An Chun come over and inform me.”
Feng Ying spoke, “I’ll send him back, hehe.”
Qian Zhen Kun could not return himself, with his cultivation he couldn’t even open the Lun spot, this was not a merchant passage, but a Lun spot that high tiered practitioners used. Feng Ying who had just placed Qian Zhen Kun down picked him up again immediately as they flew back.
In an instant, Feng Ying returned with a laugh, “That little fellow was mumbling about……wanting what Lun ring, hehe.”
XinFeng smacked his head, “Aiya, I forgot, I’ll give it to him next time.”
Feng Ying could not help but laugh loudly, “Haha, forgot, that Qian Zhen Kun was on the verge of crying, haha.” He found joy in the suffering of others.
Shi Hu touched his head, “Lun Rings are very useful for that fellow, of course he would care about it.”
XinFeng smiled bitterly, “I’ll pay him, right, if I forget again, you two must remind me, ai, it was not on purpose.”
Looking at the surroundings, Feng Ying walked to a large stone and heavily hit it once, with a ‘Hong’ sound, that stone crumbled and he picked up a piece of it.
XinFeng also curiously picked up a piece, and with just a glance, he was shocked, “Iron ore?” Picking up another piece, he noticed that there was a force of attraction between the two stones, he spoke, “Magnets……”
Shi Hu also picked up a piece, “What’s a magnet?”
XinFeng did not know how to explain it, this was knowledge from his past life, but he knew magnets were something he needed, though he wouldn’t collect it himself, he would get underlings to come here to mine it. Now he understood why there would be lightning, this entire mountain peak was a gigantic lightning rod.
Feng Ying spoke, “We can’t stop at the mountain peak, if lightning were to strike, blocking it would be hard.” Even as an eighth True Ring master, he was still cautious about the threat of Mother Nature.
Shi Hu agreed, “Let’s go to the foot of the mountain, it’s safer there.”
Feng Ying did not understand, “Other than having some minerals, it doesn’t have much, why are we staying here, hehe, there’s nothing here.”
XinFeng spoke, “I want to stay here for a period of time, en, for the time being we’ll set up camp at the foot of the mountain.” once he had decided on something, both Shi Hu and Feng Ying would not be able to reject him, instead they could only unconditionally support him since they were just guards.
Feng Ying spoke, “It’ll be good if we had a boat……en, I’ll go look around……will come back soon.”
Shi Hu nodded, “You go, I’ll take care of this place.”
Feng Ying turned to XinFeng, “I’ll come back quickly.” And as he finished, his figure flickered into the air and disappeared.
Grabbing the arm of XinFeng, Shi Hu jumped from the peak.
The mountain base was a large muddy beach with countless reeds, XinFeng laughed bitterly, “We really do need a boat or it’ll be impossible to set up camp.”
Shi Hu spoke, “En, I feel uncomfortable here though it’s a clear day, hehe, are we really staying here?” He did not know the benefits XinFeng reaped from lightning storms and really wanted to bring XinFeng out of this place.
XinFeng laughed, “It’ll be fine, I’m lightning attributed, I have a resistance to lightning……”
Two hours later, Feng Ying came back and flew to the lake’s surface, taking out a small boat from his hidden Lun space. With his cultivation, his hidden Lun space was extremely large, he could even fit a large sail boat inside without a problem.
Pulling XinFeng, Shi Hu brought him from the mountain foot to the small boat, he laughed, “Did you snatch it?”
Feng Ying spoke, “Do I have to snatch a small boat? I bought it! It’s not like it’s expensive.”
The small boat was filled with everything they needed, Shi hu spoke, “I’ll take the paddle…….” And walked over to the end of the boat, reaching for the paddle.
XinFeng could not help but laugh, the ends of his lips lifting. Feng Ying asked curiously, “What’s wrong? What’s funny?”
XinFeng spoke, “I bet……that paddle won’t be able to withstand his strength.”
Pa!
The paddle was broken in two, making Shi Hu feel silly, “Fuck, it’s not durable at all……old Feng, you bought nothing good!”
Feng Ying spoke, “I don’t have any spare paddles, that……how about making one, there’s iron ores here everywhere, hey hey, making one is no problem.” He found joy in Shi Hu’s suffering.
With a flick of XinFeng’s wrist, a steel paddle appeared and was thrown, he spoke, “Catch!”
Feng Ying was shocked, “That……you actually carry around a steel paddle with you?”
XinFeng laughed, “It’s from last time, wooden paddles are useless to us, not to mention eighth ringed masters like you, I who was a Milun master easily broke one myself so I prepared a steel paddle.”
Shi Hu positioned the paddle and with just a gentle push, the boat shot out like an arrow. He laughed, “Haha, this one is good!” He went a full large circle on the water before returning to the foot of the mountain.
Feng Ying asked, “Anything else do you need us to do?”
XinFeng laughed, “Wait, we’ll wait here!”
Both Shi Hu and Feng Ying did not ask anything, since XinFeng wanted them to wait, they would. Sitting down, Feng Ying spoke, “Old Hu, get some fresh fish.”
XinFeng spoke, “Lets get some lake prawns, en, I’ll cook oil prawns, hey hey, it’s delicious.”
Shi Hu shook his head, “I don’t have a net and I don’t know how to catch them, old Ying, you do it.”
Feng Ying spoke, “Idiot, to not even know how to fish.”
Shi Hu spoke, “Of course I won’t know how to, you’re smart, you go do it.”
Feng Ying casually spoke, “I don’t know either.”
Shi Hu glared, “And you call me dumb?”
Feng Ying snorted, “I didn’t say I was smart either……”
Shi Hu did not know what to say at that moment, pointing at Feng Ying, he spoke, “You, you……it’s my first time seeing you being so shameless!”
Feng Ying laughed.
XinFeng could not help but shake his head, this was his first time seeing these two bicker like this, he could tell that they had a good relationship. He sighed, “Forget it, I’ll do it myself, it seems that I am the smartest.” He said shamelessly.
Both Feng Ying and Shi Hu rolled their eyes.
Not only did XinFeng have a steel paddle, he also had a fish net in his Hidden Lun space, but he did not plan on using it, gong to the side of the boat, he reached his hand into the water and sent an electrical current.
In an instant, the entire lake was covered in countless floating fish of all sizes. He spoke, “Pull them in!” Electrical fishing was very easy, he shocked them unconscious with just an attack.
Feng Ying and Shi Hu’s eyes bulged, they did not expect fishing to be so easy, with just the work of a hand, they could even choose their prey. Raising his thumb, Feng Ying praised, “Admirable, admirable……this method of fishing is too easy, old Hu, pull them in!”
As there wasn’t any fishermen daring enough to come to this area, there was a variety of fish here, most of which were huge.
Pulling the fish in as well as a lot of prawns, XinFeng chose from them and threw the unnecessary fish back into the river. The electrical charge he had released was very controlled, just enough to shock the fishes unconscious, if he wanted to kill, they would probably all become ashes.
Only taking the meat of the large fish, XinFeng threw the rest of the parts away. As for the thumb thick prawns, he chose a few and prepared them. XinFeng took out pots, pans and a coal stove he prepared beforehand in his hidden Lun space, these were all daily necessities if one were to travel around the continent, XinFeng had even prepared three sets, to have food but not the equipment to cook them was a tragic thing.
