No hope for eternal life

Chapter 481: The Spiritual Vein of the Heavenly Netherworld Appears

Lei Mufeng clasped his fists and said in return: "So you are really Mu Changsheng. I have heard of Brother Mu's name for a long time, but I have never met him. Today I finally get my wish."

"I have also heard of Brother Lei's name for a long time. My last name is Mu, and your name also has the word Mu in it. We are indeed destined to be together." Mu Changsheng said with a smile: "Your sect now lives in the Tianling Realm with my sect, so we should interact more often."

"That's right." Lei Mufeng agreed and said, "The world is difficult, and we should be more united. Your master has opened up the Tianling Realm to accommodate forces from all walks of life. I don't know how many lives he has protected. He has inherited the style of the sage Xiao Busheng, which is really admirable."

Mu Changsheng shook his head slightly and said modestly: "These are just a small favor. As cultivators of our generation, we still have to be self-reliant and cannot blindly seek protection from others."

"Brother Mu, what you said is absolutely right." Lei Mufeng clasped his fists solemnly and said, "I have an unwelcome request. The lightning that just burst out from that treasure looks very familiar to me. It looks like a treasure I have been pursuing, so I want to buy that treasure. Brother Mu, feel free to name your price."

"No hurry, Brother Lei, first take a look at whether this is what you want." Mu Changsheng took the initiative to take out the treasure. Just now, before Mu Changsheng's white-clothed clone arrived, Lei Mufeng obviously had the opportunity to seize the treasure, but he never took action. Now he took the initiative to explain it, which shows his uprightness. This made Mu Changsheng appreciate Lei Mufeng even more.

Now, the treasure has retracted its glow and revealed its true appearance. It looks like an ordinary piece of stone, but inside it contains extremely violent power of thunder.

"This is a thunderstorm stone." Mu Changsheng thought to himself, feeling somewhat disappointed, because thunderstorm stones are generally recognized as useless things. The violent thunder power in them is difficult to subdue even for the ninth-level cultivators, and naturally cannot be utilized. Therefore, this thunderstorm stone can only be regarded as a kind of strange stone for collection, and it has no practical value at all. Mu Changsheng was disappointed because after working so hard for a long time, the thunderstorm stone he finally obtained could not be sold for even a few top-grade spirit stones.

Unexpectedly, when Lei Mufeng saw the thunderstorm stone, his eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, this is it. Brother Mu, please make an offer."

Hearing that Lei Mufeng was looking for the Thunderstorm Stone, Mu Changsheng was somewhat surprised and asked, "Does your sect have a way to develop this Thunderstorm Stone?"

The Tianlei Sect is good at thunder, so it makes sense to say that they have found a way to open up and utilize thunderstorm stones.

After a slight hesitation, Lei Mufeng nodded and said, "I guess so, but I can't go into details. Please forgive me, Brother Mu."

"Understand, understand. I asked too many questions." Mu Changsheng said hurriedly. Each family has its own secrets, and it is a tacit understanding among the cultivators not to ask each other questions.

"Speaking of which, Brother Lei and I are really predestined to meet." Mu Changsheng sighed and said, "To be honest, I have practiced the Five Thunders Body Refining Secret Art and have reached the seventh level, so I have long wanted to visit your sect and ask for a Thunder God Banner to break through the body refining realm. Now that Brother Lei needs this Thunderstorm Stone, I want to use it to exchange for a Thunder God Banner. Of course, I also know how precious your sect's special Thunder God Banner is. If Brother Lei feels that the two items are not equal in value, I can also make up some top-grade spirit stones. Brother Lei, just name your price."

Mu Changsheng's original plan was to break through his cultivation first and then break through the body refining realm, but today by chance he met Lei Mufeng, who happened to have a request of him. This was the best time to ask for the Thunder God Banner.

The Thunder God Banner is the unique magic weapon of the Tianlei Sect. It can evolve boundless thunder tribulations and has an attack power close to the realm of supernatural powers. It is most suitable for helping Mu Changsheng to perfect the Five Thunder Body Tempering Secret Art. As for why Mu Changsheng knew this, it was because of the experience left by his senior brothers and sisters who had practiced the Five Thunder Body Tempering Secret Art in the past.

Lei Mufeng suddenly realized what was going on and said, "So that's how it is. Our meeting today is fate. This Thunderstorm Stone is extremely rare. To me, its value is no less than that of the Thunder God Banner. So we can just exchange it for an equal value without paying any more."

"Brother Lei is upright and honest. I admire him." Mu Changsheng said with a fist. Lei Mufeng could have concealed the value of the thunderstorm stone and bought it from Mu Changsheng at a low price, but he didn't do that. This kind of quality is truly rare.

"It just so happens that I carry a Thunder God Banner with me, so we can just exchange it directly." Lei Mufeng said with a smile.

"Okay." Mu Changsheng readily agreed, completed the exchange, and promised: "If I come across thunderstorm stones again in the future, I will definitely sell them to Brother Lei."

Mu Changsheng was not interested in how Lei Mufeng would use the thunderstorm stone. As long as the other party paid enough compensation, it would be a win-win situation. There was no need to get to the bottom of it.

"Then I would like to thank Brother Mu first." Lei Mufeng clasped his fists in thanks and suggested: "Since you and I have the fate to meet today, why don't we travel together so that we can be taken care of in this sub-saint world."

"Brother Lei and I hit it off right away, so there is no reason to refuse. It's just that I have some personal matters to attend to, so it's inconvenient for me to travel with you. I hope Brother Lei can forgive me." Mu Changsheng declined politely. He used a treasure hunting secret technique, and his efficiency was so shocking that he naturally couldn't travel with others to avoid exposing his treasure hunting secret technique.

Lei Mufeng said with understanding: "I see. I am sorry for being rude. I hope to meet you again in the future."

"Brother Lei, if you need my help, you can come to Tianling Sect to find me at any time." Mu Changsheng said solemnly. Even though it was a brief contact, Mu Changsheng had already determined that Lei Mufeng was a friend worth making.

"Sure, sure." Lei Mufeng said politely. The Tianlei Sect moved from the Tianren Realm to the Tianling Realm, so it was inevitable that they would have to deal with the Tianling Sect. Therefore, Lei Mufeng was also willing to make friends with Mu Changsheng.

Afterwards, the two separated. Now with the Thunder God Banner in hand, Mu Changsheng searched for treasure while pondering whether he should break through the body refining realm first, and then overcome the spiritual tribulation, so that he would have a better chance of success.

At this moment, Ji Youmu, who had already moved to the Tianyou Realm, found Mu Changsheng's black-clothed clone and brought two good news to Mu Changsheng at once. One was that the Xutian Divine Lotus that could help Mu Changsheng recover from his injuries was found, and the other was that the spiritual vein of the Tianyou Realm had appeared in the world.

Mu Changsheng no longer hesitated after hearing that. He could put his body breakthrough and even the use of the Xutian Divine Lotus to heal his injuries on hold. The most important thing now was the appearance of the spiritual veins of the Tianyou Realm. When the spiritual veins first appeared, that was when treasures appeared most frequently. Mu Changsheng would surely make a fortune by relying on the secret treasure-hunting technique.

Therefore, Mu Changsheng's white-clothed clone set off directly to the Tianyou Realm, and even his black-clothed clone who was in retreat had to come out to search for treasure together. This would be more efficient and would only delay the retreat time for a few days.
