Lei Ying's Resolve
"So, Clan Chief Lei Ying, would you like your clansmen to be able to enter the Void Lightning Pool for cultivation at any time?"
After taking a sip of the tea prepared for him by the Lei Clan, Xiao Lin smiled and asked Lei Ying.
"What?"
As soon as Xiao Lin finished speaking, Lei Ying's expression changed as expected.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin, who had expected it, remained calm.
"Ah, I'm so sorry, Palace Master Lin Xiao, I lost my composure just now. But, is what you just said true? That people of my Lei Clan can enter the Void Lightning Pool to cultivate at any time?"
But isn't that place controlled by the Ancient Void Dragon Clan?
How did you...?
Lei Ying first calmed herself down, then a look of confusion reappeared on her face.
Ever since Mang Tianchi returned and reported on the Void Lightning Pool, he also wanted his clansmen to be able to enter it for cultivation at any time!
Unfortunately, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan is an insurmountable obstacle for the Lei Clan!
"The Ancient Void Dragon Clan owes me a favor. Before coming to the Lei Clan, I had already talked to Zhukun about it. In exchange for that favor, the people of the Lei Clan can enter the Void Lightning Pool to cultivate at any time."
Therefore, as long as Clan Chief Lei Ying is willing, you can allow your clansmen to enter the Void Lightning Pool for cultivation at any time.
However, while the Void Lightning Pool is a treasure trove for the Lei Clan to cultivate, it also presents dangers.
I do not recommend that people with insufficient cultivation go to such places to cultivate.
Furthermore, the Void Lightning Pool contains arrangements made by the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. Members of the Lei Clan may enter to cultivate, but it is hoped that Clan Chief Lei Ying will restrain his clansmen from damaging these arrangements.
Xiao Lin did not reveal his relationship with the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, only saying that the Ancient Void Dragon Clan owed him a favor, and he used that favor to allow the Lei Clan to enter the Void Lightning Pool for cultivation at any time.
Of course, this doesn't mean Xiao Lin wants the Lei Clan to be grateful to him; he just doesn't want to expose this relationship for the time being.
Furthermore, Xiao Lin directly blamed the fact that he had set up Spirit-Gathering Formation near the Void Lightning Pool on the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
This is also a sign that he doesn't want to expose himself.
"Crunch~"
"That's great, that's great!"
The moment Xiao Lin finished speaking, Lei Ying clenched her fists excitedly, stood up, and paced back and forth in the reception room.
It's clear that he's overjoyed by the good news Xiao Lin brought.
After all, according to the information brought back by Mang Tianchi earlier, the Void Lightning Pool is definitely no less effective than their Lei Clan's sacred cultivation ground, the Demon Lightning Pool!
How could Lei Ying not be excited that such a place allowed members of his Lei Clan to enter and cultivate at any time?
Lei Ying had even decided that once this matter was settled, he would personally go to the Void Lightning Pool!
"Clan Chief Lei Ying? Clan Chief Lei Ying!"
Seeing Lei Ying's barely concealed excitement, Xiao Lin called out to her twice before she finally snapped out of her daze.
"Phew~, Palace Master Lin Xiao, on behalf of the entire Lei Clan, I thank you!"
Taking a deep breath, Lei Ying solemnly clasped her hands in a fist salute to Xiao Lin and then spoke.
The right to use an enhanced version of the Demon Lightning Pool at any time—this benefit far surpasses all the resources the Lei Clan has invested in Lin Xiao over the years!
This kind of thing can be considered the foundation of a power!
Tell me, how could Lei Ying not be excited?
Although he hasn't confirmed this matter yet, given Xiao Lin's current status and strength, he doesn't believe the other party would put him in such a difficult position.
After all, it makes no sense, does it?
"Clan Chief Lei Ying, you flatter me. Over the years, both the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace and I have received considerable assistance from the Lei Clan! Now, I am very happy to be able to repay the Lei Clan in some way!"
Xiao Lin said this.
Maintaining a relationship is a two-way street!
Years ago, Lei Clan invested in Xiao Lin and Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.
But now that Xiao Lin has the ability, he will naturally repay it.
In this back-and-forth exchange, the relationship between them didn't become more distant, but rather deepened!
This is what is known as social interaction and reciprocity.
"Palace Master Lin Xiao, my Lei Clan will always be your and the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace's most steadfast friend! If you need anything, please let me know! Even if we have to face the Hun Clan, my Lei Clan will stand with you and the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace!"
At this moment, Lei Ying solemnly made a promise to Xiao Lin.
Of course, this decision was not only due to Xiao Lin granting the Lei Clan the right to use the Void Lightning Pool at any time, but also because of the strength Xiao Lin had previously revealed among the Stone Clan.
Even if Lei Ying couldn't see that Xiao Lin had already broken through to the Early-Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng, the fact that he could fight the Nihility Devouring Flame, Early-Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng, was enough for Lei Ying to regard the entire Myriad Formation Spirit Palace as an existence on the same level as the Lei Clan.
Because Xiao Lin's strength is enough to elevate the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace to this level!
And what about Xiao Lin?
When he heard Lei Ying say that even if the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace faced the Hun Clan, he would stand with the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, he was surprised and moved.
The Hun Clan's strength was already largely revealed in the battle against the Stone Clan.
Even so, Lei Ying was still willing to make this decision, which shows his courage.
Or rather, it's his high regard for Xiao Lin!
Then, the two chatted like old friends.
Even their way of addressing each other changed to "Lin Xiao" and "Brother Lei Ying".
This also proves that they are getting closer to each other.
After informing Lei Ying about the Void Lightning Pool, Xiao Lin did not rush to leave the Thunder Realm.
For the next two weeks or so, Xiao Lin stayed in the Thunder Realm.
During this period, apart from Lei Ying, the patriarch of the Lei Clan, Xiao Lin also met with all the other Leadership of the Lei Clan.
Yes, they all came to visit Xiao Lin on his own initiative while he was in the Lei Clan.
At the same time, Xiao Lin also met Lei Che, the second-in-command of the Lei Clan, who was not described in the Original Work!
His strength is at the Late-Stage Seven-Star Dou Saint, comparable to the Three Immortals of the Gu Clan, the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan, and the Fairy Fire Spirit of the Yan Clan.
Xiao Lin was not surprised by this.
It's worth noting that the Original Work states that the Lei Clan and the Yan Clan are roughly equal in strength.
Therefore, given that the patriarchs of the two clans are of comparable strength, how could the Lei Clan not have a comparable figure when the Yan Clan possesses a Fairy Fire Spirit at the Late-Stage Seven-Star Dou Saint?
Otherwise, how could the Lei Clan's strength be roughly equivalent to the Yan Clan's?
In this lifetime, Xiao Lin has finally met someone from the Lei Clan.
However, given Xiao Lin's current strength, he only met with Lei Che once with a normal attitude, and that was all!
After meeting with the Leadership members of the Lei Clan, Xiao Lin began to visit his friends in the Lei Clan.
Such as Mang Tianchi, Lei Xiu, Lei Ming, and Lei Mang, among others.
Because Xiao Lin's strength is now vastly different from what it used to be, apart from Mang Tianchi, everyone else is now somewhat reserved when interacting with him.
There's no way around it; this is what comes about with the change in power and status.
Even though Xiao Lin acted the same as before, he still noticed the restraint that Lei Xiu, Lei Ming, Lei Mang, and the others showed when facing him.
This left Xiao Lin feeling quite helpless.
And so, Xiao Lin's days in the Lei Clan passed in the blink of an eye.
He didn't stay for very long, only about half a month.
After meeting with several friends he was supposed to see, Xiao Lin submitted his resignation.
