"No."

Wan Lei shook his head and looked up at the sky, saying,

"There can't be such a large space underground. Think about it, although we've been going deeper, the straight-line distance to the surface is probably only about a hundred meters.

Even if we include the height of the mountains above, it's only five hundred meters at most.

But here, the distance between the thunderclouds above and the Thunder Pool below is at least two thousand meters.

So, this is definitely an independent space, and the array behind us is the entrance to this space.

It's just that it was sealed by Tao Dian Zhenren with an array."

After Wan Lei finished speaking, he stared straight ahead. But he had been posturing for a long time, and no one responded. He couldn't help but look back.

He wouldn't have been so angry if he hadn't looked. He saw the three of them bent over, frantically picking up things from the ground.

"This is mine! This is a healing pill."

"This magical treasure is mine."

"This is a talisman, a thunder explosion talisman."

"This is mine. These prayer mats are also good things, imbued with the spiritual energy of a strong cultivator."

Wan Lei stared dumbfounded at the three busy figures.

Good heavens, you didn't cooperate with me when I was trying to look cool, and you're stealing things behind my back?

Infuriated, Wan Lei shouted, "Have you no shame? You didn't even call me when you were picking up things!"

It must be said that Tao Dian Zhenren, as a Yuanshen realm (Primordial Spirit realm) expert, his disciples were likely Yuanying (Core Formation) and Jiedan (Foundation Establishment) experts. The things they left behind wouldn't be too bad.

Moreover, these things were rewards they left for their disciples and grandchildren to train with.

How could these small Zhuji (Foundation Establishment) cultivators not be tempted?

"You're the shameless ones! You agreed that all the treasures would be mine, and I wouldn't compete for the Thunder Refining Pool. Now you're stealing my treasures. Shameless, shameless!"

Tian Suanzi said repeatedly.

"You can still use the Thunder Refining Pool. No one said you couldn't,"

Sui Xiaohang said with his mouth wide open.

At this time, the three had already divided up the treasures on the ground. Even Qi Yao's face was flushed with excitement, and she was smiling from ear to ear.

"You're really shameless. I at least contributed the only secret treasure to get in here, and you didn't leave me a single hair."

Wan Lei said, rolling his eyes.

Hearing this, Tian Suanzi pretended not to hear, humming and arranging the treasures he had picked up next to the Thunder Refining Pool.

Sui Xiaohang, on the other hand, started rummaging through his things, wanting to share some with Wan Lei.

Qi Yao's big eyes rolled around, and after thinking for a moment, she took out many treasures from her storage bag.

"Here, take them."

Looking at Qi Yao's reluctant and heartbroken expression as she handed over the treasures, Wan Lei couldn't help but smile.

This silly girl is so fun.

"Keep them for yourself."

Wan Lei once again extended his demonic claws and pinched Qi Yao's red little face.

"Ahhh! You pinched me again!"

"My heavens, look what a good thing I found!"

Tian Suanzi said excitedly, holding a pill in his hand.

"What is it?"

The three of them looked over upon hearing this.

"It's a Xuan Yuan Dan (Profound Origin Pill)! It must be a reward Tao Dian Zhenren left for his disciples and grandchildren.

This pill is extremely potent and can help cultivators break through to the Jiedan (Foundation Establishment) stage, increasing the success rate. It's priceless. Selling all the treasures on our bodies wouldn't be enough to buy one.

Even in the Guan Nan and Qi Mountains, there probably aren't many Xuan Yuan Dan.

We're rich, we're rich!"

Tian Suanzi shouted excitedly.

Wan Lei, Qi Yao, and Sui Xiaohang stared wide-eyed at the Xuan Yuan Dan, examining it carefully.

"So this is the legendary Xuan Yuan Dan. If I had one, I wouldn't be afraid when I break through to Jiedan (Foundation Establishment) in the future."

Qi Yao said enviously with wide eyes.

"It's okay, let Lei-shao (Young Master Lei) get you one in the future. With Lei-shao's status, wouldn't a mere Xuan Yuan Dan be easy to obtain?"

Sui Xiaohang boasted about Wan Lei to Qi Yao.

Tian Suanzi sneered, "Stop it. It would be amazing if the entire Wan clan could find one, let alone give it to girl Yao. The Wan clan must be crazy."

"Look at how smug you are. I'll snatch it from you in a moment."

Sui Xiaohang said fiercely, having been refuted.

Tian Suanzi sneered and, in the stunned gazes of everyone, directly swallowed the Xuan Yuan Dan… in one gulp.

"Hmph, I ate it. See how you're going to snatch it."

Tian Suanzi said triumphantly.

"Tch, judging others' hearts with your own."

Wan Lei looked at Qi Yao and continued, "I'll get you one when I have the chance in the future."

Wan Lei was never stingy with partners he acknowledged.

Of course, one day in the future, when Wan Lei learned the price of the Xuan Yuan Dan, he would definitely regret the boast he made at this time.

"This poor Daoist (Taoist Priest) will wait here peacefully to break through to Jiedan (Foundation Establishment). You guys go play in the Thunder Refining Pool, don't bother me."

Tian Suanzi said contentedly.

This time, he had the greatest harvest. The value of that priceless Xuan Yuan Dan alone far exceeded the total value of the other magical treasures.

Most importantly, it gave him hope of breaking through to Jiedan (Foundation Establishment).

One must know that Jiedan (Foundation Establishment) and Zhuji (Foundation Establishment) are two completely different concepts.

Zhuji (Foundation Establishment) is just laying the foundation for cultivation. In the cultivation world, it is still just the level of a novice, beginner, and ant.

Once you break through to Jiedan (Foundation Establishment), you immediately enter the ranks of the strong, an existence that can establish a sect and be called "Old Ancestor."

And lifespan will reach five hundred years.

It can be seen from the appearance of Heavenly Tribulation from the Jiedan (Foundation Establishment) stage onwards that this is a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao being wary of the strong.

Wan Lei and Qi Yao are both Lei (Thunder) attribute cultivators, and this Thunder Refining Pool is a cultivation holy land for them.

Qi Yao can absorb Lei power here, and cultivation is twice as effective with half the effort. Not to mention Wan Lei, he is simply a Bug, directly absorbing lightning is fine.

The two happily walked into the Thunder Refining Pool hand in hand.

Of course, this happiness was limited to Wan Lei.

Qi Yao pursed her little mouth, trying hard to break free from Wan Lei's demonic claws, but Wan Lei's skin was as thick as lava, and he dismissed it with a sentence, "I'm protecting you from being struck to death by lightning."

It's just that Qi Yao's "vigorous" struggle didn't seem to be so forceful...

After the two went deeper for a distance, they felt that the lightning in the Thunder Refining Pool was becoming more and more powerful. Obviously, the deeper they went, the stronger the attack of the Thunder Refining Pool became.

After walking three hundred meters, Qi Yao felt that this was the limit she could bear, so she told Wan Lei that she wanted to cultivate here.

Wan Lei also let go of her little hand, said nothing, just nodded, and continued to fly deeper.

He came here not purely for cultivation, but for the one that could light up the third rune of the Thunder God's Hammer...

The Gold Thunder!
