I use my future dreams to prove immortality.

Chapter 28 Thunder Lung

Fifteen days passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhou Qiuyuan's good fortune seemed to have been exhausted by the windfall.

Gong Lei provided a large amount of intelligence, each time more detailed than the last, involving amounts ranging from tens to hundreds of coins.

Zhou Qiuyuan is now quite wealthy and has no interest in such a small amount of money.

One person can only provide a limited amount of intelligence, so Dark Night should recruit new intelligence personnel and expand its information channels.

However, after Gong Lei discovered his identity, Zhou Qiuyuan decided to find a perfect way to hide his identity before expanding his power.

A small oversight left in the early stages may become a fatal threat when the darkness deepens.

Despite the possibility of precognitive dreams about the future, no one knows when the hidden dangers will erupt or whether they will escalate into a major problem that even a single day's premonition in a future dream cannot resolve.

In life, stability is paramount.

Zhou Qiuyuan devoted all his energy to cultivation, consuming Baozhi Secret Dew Pills every day. Because he was not stingy with money, his cultivation speed was extremely fast, and his cultivation of the Qi Refining Realm was nearing its end.

Zhou Qiuyuan sat cross-legged, with the Thunder Blade resting on his lap. When he breathed, he exhaled only ordinary air currents, without a trace of purple energy.

If one could enter a state of internal vision, one would find that Zhou Qiuyuan's lungs were tinged with a light purple hue, and that there was a faint flow of lightning spiritual power in the alveoli.

The lightning spiritual energy did not flow out with the breath as usual, but remained in the lungs.

Yang Lei's lungs are already formed!

The greatest function of the Yang Thunder Lung is that the alveoli can hold a certain amount of thunder spiritual power, which allows body cultivators to maintain a combat state for a longer period of time.

If one does not have a Yang Thunder Lung to contain thunder spiritual power, each attack will exhaust thunder spiritual power, and one will need to re-exhale after each attack, which will be the biggest weakness.

Unfortunately, the Yang Thunder Lung can never truly replace a cultivator's dantian. Although it can contain thunder spiritual power, it cannot retain it for long, and the thunder spiritual power will slowly dissipate over time.

Wei Jin was dozing with his eyes closed when he seemed to sense something and opened them to look at Zhou Qiuyuan, his joy evident on his face.

"Yang Lei Lung!"

"As expected of my disciple Wei Jin, your cultivation progress is incredibly rapid!"

After Zhou Qiuyuan created the Thunder Net Secret Technique, Wei Jin predicted that his young apprentice would soon be able to refine the Yang Thunder Lung.

Especially after being rewarded with the Thunder-Nourishing Pill, the little apprentice will definitely exchange the Thunder-Nourishing Pill for money to make up for the lack of cultivation resources.

Zhou Qiuyuan achieved something in less than a month after becoming an apprentice, making him the fastest person in history to master the Yang Thunder Lung technique.

Lei Ling, the youngest disciple, is highly talented. His spiritual power and control over lightning energy far surpass those of ordinary people. Wei Jin believes that his progress is rapid and that he may not live to see his youngest disciple become a lightning cultivator.

Luo Tong and Lu Chengping, reflecting on the time it took them to cultivate the Yang Thunder Lung, felt as if they had wasted their lives.

If the two were cultivators, they would probably be on the verge of their Dao hearts collapsing.

Zhou Qiuyuan smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Lu Chengping, saying, "It's all thanks to Senior Brother Lu for helping me get the meat of exotic beasts to build a solid foundation; otherwise, my cultivation wouldn't have been so smooth."

Since being refused when he tried to purchase Yang Leidan, Lu Chengping has shown great magnanimity.

After each cultivation session, Lu Chengping would invite Zhou Qiuyuan, either to a banquet at a restaurant to enjoy exotic beast delicacies, to a music hall to watch dances and listen to music, to introduce him to the illegitimate daughters of wealthy families in the city, or to take him to a body refiner exchange meeting.

Eating exotic beast meat is a good way to supplement one's health, build connections, and create opportunities to marry a wealthy heiress...

The meticulous care almost made Zhou Qiuyuan mistakenly believe that the other person was his deceased brother.

Lu Chengping revealed his true intentions: Zhou Qiuyuan is an unparalleled genius who may become a lightning-type immortal cultivator in the future. If we don't befriend him now, it will be difficult to do so later.

One was willing to give benefits, and the other took the opportunity to broaden their horizons, both getting a free advantage, and their relationship grew closer.

"Now that you have mastered the Yang Thunder Lung, I will now formally teach you the method of body refinement."

Wei Jin took out a pre-prepared booklet and placed it in Zhou Qiuyuan's hands, saying, "The body-refining technique I have learned is called: Yang Lei Transformation!"

"After activating the Yang Thunder Transformation, speed and explosive power are significantly increased, greatly enhancing the power of all Thunder Path Secret Techniques."

"The Qi-inducing Realm is divided into three levels: Synesthesia, Qi Induction, and Thunder Lung."

"The Body Tempering Realm is divided into External Refinement, Internal Refinement, and Transformation; External Refinement focuses on the skin, tendons, bones, and flesh, while Internal Refinement tempers the five internal organs; when the core corresponding to the Body Tempering Technique is upgraded to the Ninth Refinement level, one can reach the Transformation stage of the third level."

"After the body undergoes transformation, nothing ordinary can be harmed except for spiritual tools and magical artifacts."

"The core of the Yang Thunder Transformation is divided into three parts: external Thunder Bone Refinement, internal Thunder Heart Refinement, and Thunder Liver Refinement. It is best to reach the tenth level of refinement in these three parts; otherwise, you will not be able to advance further after you advance to the Vajra Realm."

"Starting tomorrow, I will formally teach you the secret techniques. You have only mastered the Yang Thunder Lung so far, and the only secret technique you can learn is Tiger Roar Thunder Sound."

Wei Jin spoke at length, then began to cough again. "Go back and study the Yang Lei Transformation carefully. The path of cultivation is long. Don't become complacent because of empty fame."

Luo Tong and Lu Chengping had complex expressions. They stepped forward to congratulate him, saying, "Congratulations, Junior Brother, on mastering the Yang Thunder Lung. Your future will be bright."

The Qi Induction Realm is merely the entry point for body refiners; only when they reach the Body Tempering Realm can they be considered to have entered the inner sanctum.

Most body refiners who take on disciples only have nominal disciples who haven't reached the Body Tempering Realm. Only those who advance to the Body Tempering Realm become formal disciples.

The Wei and Jin dynasties adopted a different approach to accepting disciples, disregarding elaborate formalities and directly accepting students as disciples after they became their students.

Zhou Qiuyuan cupped his hands to his two senior brothers and said, "I wish you both a smooth and successful career, and that your cultivation will reach new heights."

Lu Chengping walked over and said to Zhou Qiuyuan with a smile, "Junior Brother Zhou, there is an exchange meeting for body cultivators today. The Fang family will offer the secret medicine, the Spirit Explosion Pill, as a prize. This pill will be of great use to both of us."

Zhou Qiuyuan was no stranger to the scene before him, having experienced it firsthand in a future dream. He still feigned ignorance, asking, "What is the Exploding Spirit Pill? And what are its effects?"

Lu Chengping explained, "Even if a body refiner has made some progress in body refinement, without a spiritual tool, they cannot exert their corresponding strength. At most, they can bully ordinary people. Once they encounter a body refiner who wields a spiritual tool, or even a powerful beast, they will be powerless to resist."

"The Spirit Explosion Pill is a secret medicine created by the Fang family's alchemists. After taking it, body cultivators can generate some spiritual power and temporarily unleash their combat power without the aid of spiritual tools."

"This secret medicine is not easy to make, and the Fang family does not sell it publicly. Only a small portion is circulated privately, and this gathering is a good opportunity to do so."

Explosive Spirit Pill?

Zhou Qiuyuan had deeply experienced the suffering caused by the lack of spiritual tools. The lack of spiritual tools not only affected cultivation time, but also greatly reduced strength.

Even if one succeeds in body tempering, one still suffers from the lack of lightning-infused tools, making it impossible to hunt exotic beasts in the outer city.

Although the Exploding Spirit Pill cannot be used for cultivation, it does solve the problem of strength and can be used as a life-saving item when facing danger.

He can also use future dreams to endlessly cycle through the use of the Explosive Spirit Pill.

At that time, he can go outside the city to explore and seek opportunities to become an immortal.
