Chapter 617: Combined Thunder Techniques

He immediately set up the formation around the camp, so that he would be much safer when he went into closed-door cultivation in the future, at least he wouldn't be disturbed easily!

Next were some miscellaneous materials, as well as the clothes, sundries, and daily necessities of the three unlucky guys.

He collected the useful materials and put the other useless things into a small storage bag, dug a deep pit outside, and buried them directly.

After dealing with these things, he officially began to circulate his cultivation method to consolidate his cultivation!

Just like that, Lin Zhangqing was considered to be in closed-door cultivation here! Most of the time during the day was mainly used for practicing staff techniques to adapt to the suddenly surging strength of his body.

And after his multifaceted attempts, he had already tested that the limit of his physical strength now was about one hundred thousand jin!

So the spiritual artifact staff he was using now felt light as a feather in his hand, but since conditions were limited now, he could only use it for the time being! When he had the opportunity in the future, he would find a handy close-combat weapon! Of course, since his strength was so powerful now, he could also wear some heavy defensive spirit armor! But Lin Zhangqing definitely wouldn't do that, and even among true body refiners, very few people did this!

Because if one really wore heavy defensive spirit armor weighing several thousand or tens of thousands of jin, their flexibility and speed would definitely be greatly affected.

Plus, the spirit stones required for several thousand or tens of thousands of jin of high-grade materials were definitely a very huge number.

Therefore, very few body refiners could afford this huge expense, and being a third-stage body refiner was Lin Zhangqing's trump card, which he definitely wouldn't expose easily! If he put on heavy defensive spirit armor, wouldn't others know he was a body refiner at a glance? So even if he had the ability to get heavy spirit armor, he couldn't wear it normally; at most, he could only use it as a trump card, keeping it in his spirit beast bracelet and only using it at critical moments! During other times and at night, he practiced his two fundamental cultivation methods, as well as various spells and divine abilities! Among them, what should be highlighted is that after the Thunder True Scripture entered the Purple Mansion stage, he could already practice the Thunder Escape Technique and preliminary combined thunder techniques!

The rule of combination was based on the law of mutual generation and mutual restraint of the Five Elements Thunder Techniques.

For example, Metal generates Water, so one could form the Golden Ripple Water Thunder; Water generates Wood, so one could form the Water Spirit Wood Thunder! Wood generates Fire, forming the Wood Flame Fire Thunder; Fire generates Earth, forming the Fire Soil Earth Thunder; Earth generates Metal, forming the Earth Metal Origin Thunder! The divine thunders formed by this kind of combination all possessed dual-attribute damage and were mutually reinforcing, so their power was at least twice that of basic thunder techniques! Lin Zhangqing had been focusing on practicing this kind of combined thunder technique during this period, but because it involved two attributes, it was not very easy to control.

So the speed of the thunder technique forming was relatively slow, taking about seven or eight breaths of time.

This time was too long, and its practicality in actual combat was not high, but if he practiced more in the future, the time should be greatly shortened!

As for the Thunder Escape Technique, the Wind Thunder Wings came with this spell, and Lin Zhangqing had experienced it many times, so the practice of the Thunder Escape Technique was unexpectedly smooth! Plus, he now had a good Thunder Spirit Root, so he had already practiced the Thunder Escape Technique to the point of quick entry and was approaching the stage of minor accomplishment!

And his Thunder Escape Technique was no longer inferior to when he used the Wind Thunder Wings; this could also be considered another relatively big gain during this period!

Just like that, without realizing it, two months passed, and there were only about ten days left until the end of the Thunder Extreme Secret Realm!

On this day, after Lin Zhangqing finished his cultivation, he calculated the time and knew that he couldn't stay any longer! So early the next morning, he packed up his things and recalled the Purple Crystal Scorpion that was on guard outside the valley! Then he flew towards Jilei Mountain; although Chu Yi had improved a lot since then,

but after all, it still hadn't fully recovered, and this secret realm was still too dangerous for it, so he didn't let them out! Plus, he was now considered a Purple Mansion cultivator, and his flying speed was at least twice as fast as before. So this time, Lin Zhangqing was still using the Swift Thunder Sword, which was known for its speed, and his speed was several times faster than when he was in the Foundation Establishment stage! Therefore, this time, it only took him more than three hours to reach the vicinity of Jilei Mountain, but he was still relatively low-key!

He didn't approach swaggeringly, but after reaching the vicinity of Jilei Mountain, he changed to an ordinary flying sword and only revealed his Foundation Establishment eighth-layer cultivation! Just when he was a few dozen li away from Jilei Mountain, Lin Zhangqing was intercepted by three cultivators.

He thought he had encountered robber cultivators who were sending him spirit stones again! Unexpectedly, one of them spoke up: "This fellow Daoist! Don't misunderstand, we have no malice! I wonder if you are looking for Jilei Mountain?"

Lin Zhangqing had actually discovered them long ago; he had just given them a chance to rob him earlier!

But looking at it now, Lin Zhangqing might have wronged them.

Thus, after sizing the three of them up, he spoke: "That's right! What do you three fellow Daoists mean by stopping me?"

The three of them looked at each other, and the person from before spoke again: "That's great! Fellow Daoist is exactly the person we need! I can tell you that a few dozen li ahead is Jilei Mountain, and the Thunder Extreme Fruit is on this mountain!"

Lin Zhangqing heard this and put on a surprised expression, asking: "This is Jilei Mountain! What exactly do you mean by telling me such important news?"

That person continued: "To tell you the truth, there are thousands of second-stage Three-Eyed Thunder Apes and over a dozen third-stage Thunder Apes on Jilei Mountain! It's not something that can be picked by individual strength alone, so we want to invite you to join us."

Lin Zhangqing heard this and looked at them with a half-smile, then said indifferently: "Sorry! I refuse! Even with me, there are only four of us! I don't think four Foundation Establishment cultivators can force their way into Jilei Mountain; that's no different from seeking death!"

That person hurriedly explained: "No, fellow Daoist, you misunderstood; it's not just the four of us!

We have already contacted over three hundred fellow Daoists who are interested, and we will act together when the time comes; as long as we cooperate well, there is a great chance of picking the Thunder Extreme Fruit! And not only that, regardless of whether we can eventually get the Thunder Extreme Fruit, as long as we can leave this secret realm alive,

at the very least, we can join the Myriad Islands Sect, or even join the Tianshui Sect, and then add the friendship of this cooperation.

In the future, everyone can help each other in the sect, or in other words, huddle together for warmth; what does fellow Daoist think?"
