Lei Xu Marquis

Back at the villa, Sawatdee patted Li Yilin on the shoulder, looking somewhat helpless. "I thought that with my strength as a World Lord, I would be able to see a thing or two, but it seems I overestimated myself."

The Thunder Law was not his primary focus, let alone Li Yilin's secret technique, which seemed to carry traces of the Time Law as well.

"But don't worry, since I've decided to help you, I certainly will." Having said that, Sawatdee paused, then added, "I'll go find someone first and get back to you."

A martial artist who cultivates both the Thunder Law and the Time Law—who should he choose?

Sawatdee blinked, unable to think of a suitable candidate for a moment.

His strength ultimately limited the scope of his connections within the Giant Axe Arena. He knew World Lords who had insights into the Lightning Law, but their depth of understanding regarding the Time Law might not even match Li Yilin's, so they likely wouldn't be able to solve the problem.

Then he could only invite a martial artist among the Immortals. However, the number of Immortals he was on good terms with was limited, and finding one who also cultivated the Lightning Law made the pool even smaller.

Who should he look for?

Li Yilin, completely unaware of the storm in Sawatdee's mind, nodded gratefully upon hearing the affirmative reply. Without wasting words, he had Liu Qing transfer 10,000 Hunyuan Units directly to his virtual account, then said, "This is a small token of appreciation for your trouble, Senior Sawatdee. Please, take care of this for me."

"Regardless of whether my secret technique issue can be solved, as long as I receive three sessions of guidance, I will pay the senior who instructs me 100,000 Hunyuan Units as a reward after the third session."

When asking for a favor, one shouldn't make things difficult for others; it is best to let those who help reap the benefits so that it is easier to ask for help again in the future.

Using money to pave the way is the best approach.

As soon as the funds arrived, Sawatdee was notified. Seeing that long string of numbers in the email, he couldn't help but glance at Li Yilin in surprise.

"Hahaha!" He laughed, his dragon tail swaying briskly from beneath his robes; it was clear he was in a very good mood.

"With your word, I will definitely secure a suitable instructor for you."

10,000 Hunyuan Units was basically the entire net worth of an average Immortal. If one only counted liquid assets, having even 100 Hunyuan Units would be considered decent.

100,000 Hunyuan Units—ten times the amount—with this much money, if handled correctly, he could even make the Immortal who stepped in owe him a favor.

After all, for the sake of improving their strength, many Immortals were actually in a state of debt.

To receive ten times one's own assets just for providing a few sessions of guidance and helping a little guy solve his cultivation problems—how was that any different from free money?

Almost no one would refuse such a request.

Back in the real world, Li Yilin let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's settled!" He didn't doubt for a second that Sawatdee would find someone suitable; after all, 100,000 Hunyuan Units was no small sum.

He closed his eyes to rest his mind and waited silently.

Sawatdee's reply came faster than expected. Only the next day, he sent a video call request.

Li Yilin connected, and the moment Sawatdee's figure appeared, his hearty laughter rang out.

"Hahaha, little brother, mission accomplished."

Li Yilin looked at him with burning eyes. Sawatdee didn't beat around the bush; a simple information box appeared beside him, displaying a bald, purple-skinned, burly man with two golden horns shaped like those of an ox.

The lightning mark flickering between his brows, signifying his recognition by the Lightning Law, caused the law fluctuations to draw one's gaze repeatedly, even through the Virtual Universe.

Looking at that lightning mark, Li Yilin's expression was filled with envy.

Recognition by the Lightning Law—it was something he dreamed of obtaining.

Sawatdee smiled: "Lei Xu Marquis, a Marquis-level Immortal powerhouse. He has obtained recognition from the Lightning Law and has a certain depth of insight into the Time Law. His weapon is a blade, just like yours, and he excels at breaking all laws with a single force... Are these conditions satisfactory?"

Li Yilin nodded repeatedly.

"Satisfactory, I am more than satisfied."

Sawatdee laughed heartily, "As long as you are satisfied, little brother. Since you are, I will give my reply to Lord Lei Xu Marquis!"

"Good, thank you, Senior Sawatdee. I'll treat you to a drink later." Seeing that the problem troubling him was about to be solved, Li Yilin smiled as well.

"Hahaha, compared to the wine of your gratitude, I would rather drink to the good news of your breakthrough in strength."

"Definitely."

After confirming the instructor, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries. Because Sawatdee was in a hurry to reply to Lei Xu Marquis, he soon hung up the call.

Li Yilin disconnected and looked at the empty training room. The corners of his mouth slowly curled upward, and finally, a silly grin appeared on his face.

He jumped up in excitement, clenched his fist and swung it hard in the air, shouting "Yeah!" with eyes full of brilliance.

"With Lord Lei Xu Marquis guiding me, a breakthrough to the second level of the Thunder Dragon Art is just around the corner."

He was looking forward to it so much.

Every level of the Thunder Dragon Art determined the peak of his combat power. How else could he have held on for so long under the pursuit of a World Lord if not for that little bit of improvement in combat power, and that little bit more?

"Lord Lei Xu Marquis is free for the next half month starting in three days. You can go find him then. Just teleport to this location in the Virtual Universe and follow the coordinates." Sawatdee sent a message, along with a "teleportation point" coordinate and location.

Because 100,000 Hunyuan Units had paved the way, the great Lord Lei Xu Marquis decided to accommodate Li Yilin's schedule; otherwise, he wouldn't have been informed of the Marquis's free time, but rather simply notified to show up.

"Good, thank you, Senior Sawatdee." After replying, Li Yilin closed his smart optical computer and closed his eyes once more.

Finally having a teacher to guide him, he would take advantage of the remaining three days to organize his questions about cultivation and ask them all at once when the time came.

Time quickly arrived at the third day.

Virtual Universe.

Fixed teleportation point.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Li Yilin clicked to teleport according to the coordinates sent to him by Sawatdee.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared on another continent; this continent was clearly more advanced than the location where Li Yilin resided. Although the strength levels of the people coming and going on the street could not be discerned due to the uniform settings of the Virtual Universe, one could tell from the law imprints between their brows and the law fluctuations on their bodies that they were at least World Lord level powerhouses.

World Lord level, what was there to fear?

He was one too!

Li Yilin puffed out his chest, walking confidently in a certain direction according to the location guide.

Ten minutes later, he stood still in front of the gate of a villa.

"This should be the place." Li Yilin looked down to confirm the location was correct, stepped forward, and just as he was about to knock on the door, the tightly shut door opened, and a deep voice came from within.

"The little guy brought by Sawatdee, come in!"

Li Yilin froze for a moment, but without hesitation, he lifted his leg and walked inside.

This villa, if it could be called a villa, was more like an estate.

Upon entering, what caught his eye was a spacious courtyard where large patches of beautiful, unknown purple flowers were blooming brilliantly. In the middle of the flower garden stood an exquisite swing about five meters high.

The swing frame had a purple-blue base, wrapped in vines, and blooming upon them were purple flowers similar to morning glories. The vines extended downward from the center, tied to an exquisite white bench with purple floral patterns.

In front of the swing, there was also a small pavilion containing two black benches and a large stone with a smooth, flat surface, which was likely used as a table.

Near the edge of the pavilion, close to the perimeter wall, there was a pool of water. It was not clear water, but a mysterious liquid of a pale purple hue, occasionally rippling with faint, shimmering traces of Lightning...

Is it really this exquisite?

Li Yilin was stunned on the spot, almost feeling as if he had walked into the wrong place.

Such an exquisite, beautiful villa, and you're telling me it's the residence of a bald, burly man?

Even if this burly man is a powerful Immortal.

Isn't the style a bit too drastic of a change?

Just as Li Yilin hesitated, the door of the villa inside opened.
