Chapter 240: 169. Nature toys with man, man toys with nature_2
The silent, black Gui Water Yin Thunder, like thick ink, poured into the Holy Wave Pond. It did not disperse like ink in water but remained concentrated.
It was Lei Jun's Gui Water Yin Thunder.
As the Gui Water Yin Thunder circulated, it disturbed and antagonized the Spiritual Energy in the Holy Wave Pond.
On the pond's surface, ripples and waves grew increasingly violent.
After Lei Jun had done all this, he didn't linger, nor did he concern himself with the outcome, and directly left for Solitary Goose Peak.
The Holy Wave Pond, agitated by the Gui Water Yin Thunder, rippled and surged as if it were a tide.
The Spiritual Energy within the pond turned chaotic and turbulent.
Lei Jun had investigated during the day.
Luo Haoran, even though he had entered the Supreme Pure Thunder Mansion Cave Heaven for training, mostly stayed near the bodies of water within the Cave Heaven.
Born in a land of rivers, while hating floods, he also felt an affinity for flowing water.
At this moment, Luo Haoran was near Xianming Spring, listening to the sounds of the Great Dao, which were like heavenly music to his ears.
A moment later, he suddenly frowned and looked back. It sounds like a surging tide,
But how could such a thing happen here in the Supreme Pure Thunder Mansion Cave Heaven? Curiosity piqued, Luo Haoran followed the sound to its source.
Just as he was leaving, someone else arrived in the distance.
The newcomer, possessing a refined beauty and noble aura, was none other than Zhang Jingzhen.
Zhang Jingzhen saw Luo Haoran's retreating figure from afar; she was too far away to greet him.
However, with him gone, Xianming Spring would be unoccupied, which suited Zhang Jingzhen perfectly.
She intended to explore Xianming Spring once more.
Whether as a direct disciple of the former Celestial Master or due to her own Sixth Heavenly Layer cultivation level, Zhang Jingzhen always had the opportunity to enter the Supreme Pure Thunder Mansion Cave Heaven once a year.
These past few years, whenever she entered, she would visit Xianming Spring.
The half of a talisman she had obtained there had benefited her greatly, but it had also left her with many unresolved questions.
Zhang Jingzhen was eager to uncover the truth.
Unfortunately, she had never found the other half of the talisman.
Xianming Spring had not dried up again either.
Zhang Jingzhen wanted to search the depths of the spring, but Xianming Spring possessed a mysterious quality that resisted her attempts to delve deeper.
In the past two years, she had tried several different water-repelling Spiritual Objects, but none had been particularly effective.
This year, she wanted to try again.
Despite the distance, Zhang Jingzhen, with her Sixth Heavenly Layer cultivation strength, could sense the surging tumult from the direction of the Holy Wave Pond.
Recalling she had seen Luo Haoran heading there, Zhang Jingzhen was no longer in a rush.
She considered checking Xianming Spring first before heading to the Holy Wave Pond.
Thus, Zhang Jingzhen silently regulated her breathing and commenced her renewed exploration of Xianming Spring.
After casting a stream of Gui Water Yin Thunder into the Holy Wave Pond, Lei Jun departed immediately, not waiting to see the result.
That dark Gui Water Yin Thunder would dissipate on its own after some time, leaving no trace.
I wonder if Luo Haoran will notice the anomaly in the Holy Wave Pond in time?
As long as he was nearby, he would most likely notice and rush over immediately.
This was a small "trap" Lei Jun had specifically designed for Luo alone.
Since he couldn't claim both opportunities for himself, and with a familiar junior brother present, Lei Jun decided to look out for his own.
After all, as the saying goes, one doesn't let the fertile water from one's own field flow into an outsider's.
According to Luo Haoran's habits of traveling between the water bodies inside the Cave Heaven, he was very likely to go to the Holy Wave Pond himself.
However, according to the divination, the timing had to be precise: midnight. Arriving earlier or later would yield no reward.
It would be useless for Luo Haoran to arrive too early or too late.
That was why Master Lei had set an alarm for him.
Whether it would "wake up" Luo Haoran and whether he would successfully obtain the Fifth Grade Opportunity in the Holy Wave Pond was no longer of concern to Lei Jun.
He had previously checked the Holy Wave Pond's surroundings to confirm that what posed no danger to him wouldn't endanger others either.
Luckily, the Holy Wave Pond was relatively tranquil. Since Luo Haoran had already attained the Fourth Layer of Heaven Original Talisman realm, even if there were changes in the water's force, it would not threaten his life.
The rest depended on individual destiny and fortune.
Lei Jun himself had now arrived at Solitary Goose Peak.
Midnight was approaching.
Lei Jun waited patiently until the ridge near Solitary Goose Peak suddenly shook and trembled.
The entire Supreme Pure Thunder Mansion Cave Heaven suspended in the sky seemed to experience a slight earthquake at that moment.
Lei Jun remained calm and fearless. He activated the Ji Earth Yin Thunder, which complemented his Gui Water Yin Thunder, to firmly stabilize the area around him.
Suddenly, his gaze sharpened as he looked into the distance.
There, a faint radiance flickered, with Spirit Light emanating from within.
It's here, Lei Jun thought, and immediately soared down, protecting that area as well.
Upon closer examination, within the Spirit Light was surprisingly a small Cauldron Furnace.
The Cauldron Furnace had overturned the soil covering it and was now rising to the surface on its own.
From within the Cauldron Furnace, streaks of lightning surged outward.
However, almost as soon as the Cauldron Furnace broke through the soil, the lightning leaking from it attracted the ambient lightning within the Cave Heaven.
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking the Cauldron Furnace.
The Cauldron Furnace was undamaged. However, its Spiritual Nature receded and hid again, becoming dormant. It then began to slowly sink back into the soil.
No wonder the timing had to be precisely midnight; any earlier or later wouldn't work... Lei Jun realized, watching the scene.
He waved the Breathing Soil Banner. The earthy Spirit Light temporarily stabilized the rocks and stones. He then Captured and Seized the black and purple Cauldron Furnace.
The Cauldron Furnace showed no signs of resistance and settled steadily into Lei Jun's hand.
[Thunderheart Furnace]
This name surfaced in Lei Jun's mind.
This must have been left here by a senior of Our Sect back in the day, he speculated.
Because Yuan Mobai was skilled in alchemy, Lei Jun, having studied alongside him, had read many related texts and heard numerous stories on the subject.
