Wind and Thunder Power

"It's nothing major. I just wanted to find an environment like a swamp that gets struck by lightning frequently, so I came to ask you if you knew of one. After all, no one in the forest probably knows more than you do."

Su Yu looked at Bi Ji with a grin. Bi Ji truly knew the forest better than anyone else, since she often traveled through it.

Although her strength was inferior to Di Tian's, and perhaps even Zi Ji's, she was indeed the Fierce Beast most familiar with the forest's terrain.

"Hmm, little one, I do know of such a place. But the environment there is extremely harsh." Bi Ji thought for a while before narrowing her eyes and smiling at Su Yu.

"It's fine. A harsh environment isn't a problem. As long as I can cultivate there, that's enough." Su Yu had no objections to harsh conditions. In fact, he was afraid the environment would not be harsh enough. What place like that could possibly have a pleasant environment?

"Mm, I won't ask why you want to cultivate there. But you are a very important person to the Star Dou Great Forest, an important partner to us. Your safety must be guaranteed. How about this? I'll have the Auspicious Beast accompany you. The two of you should return once every week. What do you think?"

Bi Ji crouched down, pinched Su Yu's cheek, and smiled at him.

"Alright, Bi Ji. Thank you." A faint warmth rose in Su Yu's heart as he listened to her.

"Mm, then go on. Find the Auspicious Beast first." Bi Ji sent Su Yu away as she spoke, then walked into the house by herself. Su Yu did not hesitate and headed straight for where the Three-Eyed Golden Lion lived.

After arriving, Su Yu did not say a word. He picked up the shrunken Three-Eyed Golden Lion and headed directly toward Bi Ji's house.

When he arrived outside Bi Ji's house, Bi Ji was already waiting there.

"Alright, let's go." Bi Ji had just reached out to carry Su Yu when a pair of golden wings appeared behind him.

"Oh, I forgot you have an External Soul Bone. By the way, have you named it?" Bi Ji smiled and flew into the sky with Su Yu.

Bi Ji did not fly very quickly, maintaining the same speed as Su Yu.

"Mm, I plan to call it Golden Feather Wings. Look, all the feathers on it are golden." As he spoke, Su Yu showed Bi Ji his golden feathers.

"Golden Feather Wings is decent enough." Bi Ji smiled and did not ask any more questions. The two flew silently for over two hours before soon landing in a valley.

"Alright, follow me. We can't keep flying."

As Bi Ji spoke, she and Su Yu walked toward the end of the valley. After passing through it, Su Yu indeed saw an enormous muddy marsh stretching dozens of kilometers.

At the same time, thunder occasionally rumbled down from the sky above the marsh.

"How is it? This marsh isn't bad, right? It should meet your cultivation requirements." Bi Ji tilted her head and looked at Su Yu, who was holding the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Mm, it's great. This environment is simply perfect." With a marsh spanning dozens of kilometers and a sky struck by lightning from time to time, there was no way Su Yu could be dissatisfied.

"Mm, as long as you're satisfied. Alright, cultivate on your own. You don't need to worry about safety. Not to mention the Auspicious Beast Bloodline in your body, with the Auspicious Beast beside you, it will be impossible for you to get hurt."

"The Auspicious Beast's current strength can be considered among the strongest in the entire Star Dou Great Forest." As she spoke, Bi Ji reached out and stroked the bewildered Three-Eyed Golden Lion in Su Yu's arms.

"Mm, but Bi Ji, something is strange here. Why is the Soul Power here so dense?" Su Yu felt the Soul Power around him, which was clearly denser than elsewhere. Though it could not compare to the Lake of Life, it was still exceptionally rich.

"Hehe, that's a good question." Bi Ji smiled and glanced at the lightning that occasionally struck down from the sky.

"This used to be the territory of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Lightning Eagle. But at least a thousand years ago, a human expert with a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon came here. The man and beast fought a fierce battle here, and terrifying lightning energy covered dozens of kilometers around them."

"In the end, the Lightning Eagle self-destructed and took that Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon expert down with it. After they died, a large amount of lightning essence was produced. Under the effects of that lightning essence, this place became what it is now. However, after a thousand years, it has weakened considerably."

Bi Ji looked at the marsh as she recalled the past. Having lived for so many years, she knew nearly all of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the forest. She had been on good terms with almost every one of them.

"Is that so?" A gleam flashed through Su Yu's eyes.

"Alright, cultivate. I'm leaving you to it." Bi Ji shook her head and left directly.

"Alright, let's begin." After watching Bi Ji leave, Su Yu tossed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion aside. Three Thousand Thunderclap Movement appeared in his hand.

With the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's help, Su Yu went to a spot where the Wind and Thunder Power was especially strong. He opened the scroll of Three Thousand Thunderclap Movement and suddenly exerted force with both hands, tearing apart the talisman sealing the Wind and Thunder Power.

As the scroll was torn open, a burst of Wind and Thunder Power erupted instantly. Great streams of Wind and Thunder Power poured directly into Su Yu's body.

"Ah!" As the Wind and Thunder Power entered him, Su Yu could not help crying out. At the same time, the skin across his body began to split open continuously, and large amounts of blood flowed out, only to be instantly evaporated by the terrifying Wind and Thunder Power.

Seeing Su Yu like this, worry appeared in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes.

This is insanely brutal. Su Yu silently groaned in misery as he felt the Wind and Thunder Power wreaking havoc within his body.

As Su Yu lost more and more blood, his consciousness gradually began to blur.

But without Su Yu knowing, three drops of golden blood suddenly appeared within his heart. Each drop of golden blood bore the image of a lifelike qilin.

As his blood continued to drain away, the three drops of golden blood instantly bloomed with golden light.

A warm energy immediately surged into Su Yu's meridians. His body, which had been left covered in wounds by the Wind and Thunder Power, began to recover rapidly.

Feeling that energy, Su Yu could not help letting out a comfortable groan.

At the same time, the golden blood separated out a stream of golden energy that continuously suppressed the Wind and Thunder Power within Su Yu's body.

Under the effect of the golden energy, the Wind and Thunder Power quickly began to collapse. It soon started merging into Su Yu's body beneath the suppression of the golden energy.

Outside, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion watched Su Yu alternate between pain and comfort, and a look of confusion appeared in her eyes.

Does Su Yu have some kind of illness? The Three-Eyed Golden Lion secretly glanced at Su Yu and thought.
