Thunderstruck Wood!

In the Slum Area, after Chen Wang took the Origin Returning Pill, he circulated his Spiritual Qi throughout his body, and his Law Power continued to grow stronger.

When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were bright and his breathing was long and even.

After his previous encounter with the burly old man, Chen Wang became even more eager to improve his strength. "Those people actually dared to attack the Red Cloud Sect's Pill Refining Hall, Market is not safe either."

In particular, Chen Wang believed that if the burly old man returned to seek revenge, he would definitely have to make some preparations.

"Why does it feel like these people are about to clash with the Red Cloud Sect?"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

He didn't know exactly how powerful those people were, but the fact that they dared to confront the Red Cloud Sect head-on and launch a sneak attack on a place like the Pill Refining Hall proved that they were extremely confident.

"No matter when, strength is still the most fundamental thing."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

After completing his Cultivation Method, his aura returned to its peak.

Immediately afterwards, he began to try practicing the Fire Serpent Technique.

After several more failures, Chen Wang was not discouraged. Instead, his eyes brightened. "It seems that I have vaguely grasped some of the key points!"

If others knew that Chen Wang was so insightful in practicing the Fire Serpent Technique, they would definitely be astonished. Of course, one reason is that Chen Wang's fire element aptitude has increased, and another is that he is Jing Xin, hardworking, and loves to study, which can be considered a rather hidden advantage.

Especially after taking the drug, Chen Wang's endurance improved significantly, allowing him to practice a large number of times in a short period of time, which was extremely helpful in comprehending the Fire Serpent Technique.

Although intermediate-level Law Technique require casting time and cannot be cast instantly, Chen Wang has several powerful defensive Law Artifact to assist him.

Therefore, mastering a powerful Law Technique is quite suitable for him.

As he chanted incantations, a fiery serpent appeared in the air. The serpent was clearly shaped, about three feet long, and appeared lifelike. This time, Chen Wang was extremely calm, lacking the excitement he felt when he first condensed the fiery serpent.

The more stable the fire serpent became after it appeared, the more it was in this State of Mind.

A terrifyingly high temperature emanated from around the fire serpent, distorting the air itself.

It is at least ten times more powerful than Fireball Technique; they are simply incomparable!

Chen Wang didn't unleash the fire serpent, because if he did, he'd likely become a notorious figure in the Slum Area tonight, known for setting his house on fire.

"You spendthrift brat! "Chen Wang withdrew the Method Formula.

The fiery serpent, radiating intense heat capable of molten gold and iron, dissipated.

"The aura of an intermediate-level Law Technique, even when it is only drawn in and not released, far surpasses that of Fireball Technique."

He had previously wanted to master the Fireball Technique, but now he realized that the idea was somewhat immature. "The difference in power is so great that it cannot be made up for by simply increasing the number of spells."

Of course, when the number becomes terrifyingly large—for example, dozens of fireballs released with a single wave of the hand—it can also possess immense power.

However, such situations are extremely rare, and ordinary cultivators' Law Technique cannot support them.

Furthermore, in terms of attack power, a single Fire Serpent Technique is far more domineering.

Chen Wang took a deep breath, his eyes resolute, and chanted the Method Formula again.

A fire serpent reappeared out of thin air, exactly the same as before.

Chen Wang felt his Law Power rapidly depleting, but the effect this time was surprisingly good. "I really succeeded!"

Chen Wang was initially shocked, but then his eyes lit up with wild joy.

Ordinary cultivators take anywhere from a year to seven or eight years to master the Fire Serpent Technique, but Chen Wang only needed a very short time to cultivate, Qi Refining Stage 5 to be able to use the Fire Serpent Technique, which was extremely surprising to others.

After finishing his cultivation, Chen Wang picked up a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp.

The way of cultivation emphasizes a balance of tension and relaxation. He relaxed a little, pushed open the door, and went outside to breathe some fresh air.

Night had fallen, and the sky was dark and heavy with clouds obscuring the sun. Chen Wang, being Stormcaller, possessed the ability to summon storms and had a certain sensitivity to certain types of weather.

However, this is a rather lackluster attribute.

Is it going to rain?

Chen Wang looked up slightly at the sky.

He then frowned. "If I were that burly old man seeking revenge, would I choose a rainy night?"

Although this was only one possibility, once the thought arose in Chen Wang's mind, it spread like wildfire and could not be stopped.

"Even if he is Foundation Establishment Realm expert, I can return to the Great Winter World to hide, but..."

Chen Wang did not choose to return to the Great Winter World; instead, a murderous glint appeared in his eyes. "It's always safer to nip danger in the bud while it's still under control."

The old man clearly appeared to be a ruthless person; such a person would undoubtedly be extremely vengeful.

"Since we've already gotten involved in some trouble, we can't just keep running away."

Having successfully mastered the Fire Serpent Technique, Chen Wang suddenly felt a strong urge to control something.

Click!

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, dark clouds gathered overhead, and in an instant, a torrential downpour began.

The rain came very quickly, and the rainwater was icy cold.

At this time, the entire Slum Area around the Desolate Mountain and the Market were experiencing torrential rain.

Under the cover of night, a figure flashed by, cursing under his breath.

"I didn't expect this strange rain to come at this time!"

The voice was old and loud; it belonged to the burly old man from before, Zheng Fengming, a cultivator from the Five Poisons Sect. At this moment, he was rushing to meet up with the dwarf old man and the others.

The rain was so heavy it somewhat affected visibility.

However, of course, this is not a big problem for a cultivator.

Click!

A bolt of lightning struck a large tree in front of them. The tree was so thick that it would take three people to hug it. The lightning bolt split the tree in two!

The sheer power of nature startled even the burly old man Zheng Fengming. The ancient tree, which would take three people to encircle, was charred black, and flames immediately appeared on it. Despite the torrential rain, the flames did not extinguish, but instead seemed to intensify.

Zheng Fengming, the burly old man who originally intended to leave quickly, stopped in his tracks, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes, "Thunderstruck Wood!"

He sensed a Thunder Fire aura within the ancient tree. Many trees might be struck by lightning during thunderstorms, but such wood is of little use for cultivation. However, this ancient tree was different. Even under the rainy night, the burly old man could sense the Thunder Fire aura within it. This was an excellent material for refining weapons, and it had already undergone a transformation.

"My darling!"

The burly old man stopped in his tracks. Such rare treasures were only obtained by those with the right fate. He pondered for a moment and decided to take the Thunderstruck Wood first, and then go to report the news. "I'm quick, it won't take long."

The burly old man thought to himself.

Immediately, he formed a hand Method Formula, and a crystal-clear Water Blade appeared, three feet long and incomparably sharp, formed from condensed rainwater.

The burly old man possessed quite a few Law Technique.

Swish! A sudden slash struck the ancient tree. Although the tree possessed certain mystical properties, its material was not particularly special.

It was cut in two instantly by this blade!

The flames on it gradually died down and receded into the interior. Seeing that this thing was so spiritual, the burly old man couldn't help but be slightly taken aback. "I thought my luck had really declined to this extent. I didn't expect to encounter such a high-quality Thunderstruck Wood on the road."

A series of sharp flashes of light appeared, and he removed a piece of wood intact.

The aura of Thunder Fire was contained within, and it had already changed. This section was the essence of the ancient tree. He had Storage Artifact on him, so he put away this section of Thunderstruck Wood. He used his movement Movement Method to rush forward, and the anger in his heart was somewhat calmed down after obtaining the treasure.

He had only gone a short distance forward when he heard a clear woman sobbing. At first, it was faint, but the further he went, the louder the sound seemed to be right next to him.

The burly old man immediately stopped and looked around, whimpering...

The woman's cries grew clearer and clearer, sounding utterly heart-wrenching.

Strangely, even the emotions within the burly old man were stirred.

I felt a pang of sadness instantly, and my eyes reddened slightly.

He saw a thinly dressed woman sitting under a blue stone, hugging her legs, and the crying was coming from her.

The woman had her head down, making her face obscured. Her clothes were extremely thin and soaked through by the rain, outlining her alluring figure, especially the curves in certain areas, which were breathtaking.

Boom! Thunder roared across the sky.

Then, with a crack, lightning flashed, and just then the woman slightly raised her head, the light illuminating her face.

This was an absolutely beautiful face, with exquisitely beautiful eyes, delicate features, and snow-white skin. Especially striking were the woman's eyes, brimming with tears, like a lost fawn wandering in the mountains.

It makes one feel tenderness and affection for it.

Hearing the woman's cries, the burly old man was filled with sorrow. Seeing the lonely, helpless woman, especially her exquisitely beautiful face, he felt even more pity for her.

"Young lady, why are you weeping here?"

The burly old man took a few steps forward after saying this, but then he stopped and bit his tongue hard.

A sharp pain shot through the tip of his tongue, and he circulated his inner energy to clear his mind.

"The woman's crying was strange. Why did I get emotional just now?"

The burly old man felt a chill run down his spine.

The stunningly beautiful woman raised her head slightly, her eyes brimming with tears, and sobbed as she said, "I ran away from home. A wicked man wanted to take me as his concubine, but I refused. Who knew I would end up in these mountains and get lost."

Although the woman's voice was sobbing, it was still extremely pleasant to hear. Even more strangely, the thunder, rain, and wind did not drown out her voice; it reached the burly old man's ears clearly.

Although the old man was somewhat wary, after the stunningly beautiful woman spoke, looking at her pitiful face, his heart softened, and he completely forgot that something was amiss.

"A villain wants to take you as his concubine?"

A thought suddenly struck him, and he remembered something. "Is that person the Old Ancestor of the Red Cloud Sect?"

The Red Cloud Old Ancestor took three concubines this month, which perfectly corresponds to what this woman said.
