"I don't have many exceptional divine artifacts or elixirs, unlike the Six Immortals of the past who traveled countless worlds and gathered immense spoils. I'm not an alchemist either. All I can offer these juniors are these jumbled cultivation techniques, divine abilities, elixir formulas, and spells.
These things are commonplace in our Immortal Realm, but in the lower and middle planes, they are treasures that people would fight tooth and nail to obtain.
These can be copied easily with no cost. I have tons of magical artifacts like jade pendants and rings that I don't use. It's better to use them as vessels for cultivation techniques and divine abilities and send them to worlds in need.
And those magical treasures we can't use? There are even more. The spoils of war we've accumulated over the years are countless, but which one of them is actually useful? We can just discard them in those worlds to enhance their strength.
Perhaps some inheritance we leave behind unintentionally could cultivate a powerful individual. When the Six Immortals left their inheritances, I'm sure they never imagined they would cultivate someone named Wan Lei.
It's better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish. It's not a long-term solution for those worlds to rely on the Immortal Venerable to monitor all realms, or on the Five Elements Hall to resist the demon race.
They need to grow and resist external enemies with their own strength, just like we did in the Lei Feng Realm."
As Wan Lei spoke, his expression was serene, as if he were discussing trivial matters. But to Fang Xiaoyu, his words were like thunderous bells.
Yes, when they were weak, they received favors from many powerful beings. Now that they were strong, they could also contribute and cultivate other juniors.
"Wan Lei, you are a wise man."
Fang Xiaoyu gazed at Wan Lei with her large, bright eyes, as if seeing him for the first time.
"Heh heh, just doing what I can."
"Hurry and cultivate the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill. Leave these small matters to me. We could receive a mission to support other places at any moment, and we might need the Demon Ring then. Hurry and cultivate."
After learning about the special nature of the Demon Ring from the Immortal Venerable, Fang Xiaoyu's resistance to Wan Lei wearing it had lessened considerably.
She also knew how important the Demon Ring was. Even the Immortal Venerable had advised Wan Lei to explore it with his divine sense when he had free time to increase his resistance to mental energy.
The clever Fang Xiaoyu always felt that the door within the Demon Ring they spoke of must be something extraordinary, perhaps even crucial to the Immortal Venerable, and therefore certainly important to Wan Lei.
Moreover, the Immortal Venerable had also guaranteed that if Wan Lei were corrupted by the Demon Ring, they would take responsibility.
Most importantly, they no longer had to go to the Bitter Sea battlefield. The risks in the main plane would be much smaller.
It was only then that she allowed Wan Lei to take back the Supreme Demon Ring.
Seeing Fang Xiaoyu acting like a diligent and caring wife, Wan Lei was touched and hugged his wife tightly, kissing her repeatedly, which earned him a spanking.
Wan Lei sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the jade slip of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill, and began to cultivate.
Fang Xiaoyu took over his work. After thinking for a moment, she also took out many miscellaneous small items, as well as jade slips of cultivation techniques and divine abilities, and began to select and copy them.
She also had many spoils of war. Wan Lei and she had divided their spoils equally on their journey. Even loving couples keep their accounts clear.
Fang Xiaoyu was much more meticulous than Wan Lei and very cautious when selecting cultivation techniques. She avoided those with demonic natures, dark attributes, or those harmful to the body. Unless it was a forbidden technique that could stimulate physical potential and grant immense combat power in a short time, even then, it would be carefully chosen before being included.
Unlike Wan Lei, who would stuff all divine abilities and cultivation techniques into the vessels, letting others choose what to cultivate. He didn't care if they might explode from simultaneously cultivating two mutually destructive divine abilities.
This period was quite peaceful. Perhaps it was because the Immortal Venerable knew Wan Lei was cultivating the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill, or perhaps there had been no demon invasions of the main plane universe recently. They hadn't received any missions for a full three months.
During this time, Liu Yuxin was busy tempering Liu Ao's physical body. She placed a large vat in her courtyard, filled with various rare treasures for physical recovery, soaking in the Nine Nether Dark Water.
Liu Yuxin had heard from the Four Little Ones that four of the Five Immortal Venerables had tempered their bodies using water from the Dragon Transformation Pool of the Dragon Clan, thus acquiring dragon bodies. So she ran around trying to exchange for Dragon Transformation Pool water at the Merit Hall.
However, the Dragon Transformation Pool water was extremely expensive. Liu Yuxin spent all her merit points and only managed to buy half a bottle, which was far from enough for physical recovery.
So she went to Wan Liuchuan to borrow merit points, borrowed from other companions, and even went to Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu. In the end, she was heavily in debt and still couldn't gather enough Dragon Transformation Pool water to temper Liu Ao's body.
Finally, the Fire Phoenix couldn't stand it and personally went to the Ghost Realm to plead with Ao Lie, asking him to help obtain some.
Seeing his beloved asking for help, how could Ao Lie refuse? With a wave of his hand, he directly took the Fire Phoenix to secretly sneak into the Dragon Clan's Dragon Transformation Pool and stole two large vats of Dragon Transformation Pool water.
Because of this, the Dragon Clan Chief was furious and wanted to punish Ao Lie. Ao Lie, being quick, fled with the Fire Phoenix directly to the Five Elements Hall in the Immortal Realm.
Yuan Jun inherited the legacy of the White Impermanence of the Ghost Realm and progressed at an astonishing rate, breaking through to the Tai Heng Realm early.
It had been more than a year since they joined the Five Elements Hall. Qing Wu had secretly gone to the Ghost Realm to pay respects to Meng Meng and learn the Illusory Heart Fire, and her cultivation had also broken through.
Da Da and the Four Little Ones had also broken through. Wan Liuchuan's talent was not bad. After helping Liu Yuxin obtain the materials for reshaping Liu Ao's body, he went into seclusion in the Tower of Creation and broke through two months later.
Thus, in the Thunder Rain Team, except for Liu Yuxin who was too busy with Liu Ao's matters to cultivate, everyone else had broken through to the Tai Heng Realm.
"Cultivation complete?"
Seeing Wan Lei open his eyes, with golden light flashing in them and a golden sun appearing behind his head, Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask.
Wan Lei turned to look at Fang Xiaoyu, his eyes blank. He clasped his hands together and asked piously,
"Esteemed female benefactor, who are you? Where is this place? And why is this humble monk here?"
Fang Xiaoyu was startled by his words, but then she saw the hidden smile in Wan Lei's eyes.
"You scoundrel! Calling yourself 'humble monk'! You scared me half to death! I thought you'd gone crazy from cultivating Buddhist scriptures and were going to become a monk!"
Fang Xiaoyu walked to Wan Lei's side indignantly, grabbed his ear, and twisted it.
"Ow, ow, ow! Esteemed female benefactor, please don't! This humble monk does not indulge in sensual pleasures. Let go quickly."
"You don't indulge in sensual pleasures, huh? You're going to become a monk, right? Fine, then don't touch me from now on, and don't come back through this door."
