Chapter 2132

"The slap I gave you just now was just for show for them to see. I shouldn't have hurt you, right?"

"Swallow your pride for now. After we go back and tell the Old Ancestor, the Old Ancestor will definitely reward you."

"Don't be so impulsive in the future. If you were really hurt, Father would be heartbroken, and I would be too!"

Yin Mingzong's slap looked heavy, but it was actually painful without causing injury.

After being told this, Yin Mingyang lost his temper instead. "I understand. Thank you, Big Brother. I won't be so impulsive in the future."

The rumbling continued, streaks of lightning lit up, and people who had entered Thunder Mountain kept returning.

Gu Nianshui appeared on the plaza, accompanied by a flash of lightning.

Dao Venerable Gu Nianhai stepped forward to Gu Nianshui's side, but his brows were tightly furrowed.

When Gu Nianshui went in, she was a Half-step Supreme.

When she came out, she was still a Half-step Supreme. It wasn't that there was no progress, but it was just too little.

Previously, they had estimated that after coming out of the core of Thunder Mountain, she would at least be able to become a low-rank Supreme.

If she was lucky, she might have been able to reach a mid-rank Supreme.

Dao Venerable Gu Nianhai knew his granddaughter's aptitude very well; she was the one with the best talent in this generation of Hanshui Holy Land.

Dao Venerable Gu Nianhai's expression was somewhat ugly. "What happened?"

Gu Nianshui said in a low voice, "I don't know either. The Power of Origin in the core of Thunder Mountain is indeed very rich and powerful, but no matter what I do, I cannot absorb it."

"It seems that the Power of Origin inside Thunder Mountain is incompatible with me."

Dao Venerable Gu Nianhai muttered to himself, "Incompatible?"

He thought for a few seconds. "Could it be because of the inheritance of Star Lord Jiaojiao?"

Upon closer consideration, that was the only possibility.

Gu Nianshui said, "Grandfather, could it be that the Lei Family did something?"

Dao Venerable Gu Nianhai immediately denied it. "The Lei Family cannot do anything. If the Lei Family could tamper with it, the Holy Master wouldn't have let you come."

Gu Nianshui nodded. "Then it might be related to the inheritance of Star Lord Jiaojiao."

Dao Venerable Gu Nianhai said, "Let's go back first and let the Holy Master take a look!"

The two returned to the sedan carriage, and they would leave once everyone had gathered.

Dao Venerable Gu Nianhai was in a bad mood now. Gu Nianshui's trip had wasted this quota; although it wasn't a big deal, he felt somewhat depressed.

Lin Moyu watched this scene. Among those present, only he knew why Gu Nianshui had made no progress.

In fact, it was all because of Mist; Mist had weakened Gu Nianshui's luck, which led to this situation.

Once Gu Nianshui returned to Hanshui Holy Land, under the washing of the Holy Land's vast luck, Mist's Curse would naturally lose its effect.

As for whether the Holy Master of the Holy Land could see the root of the problem, that would depend on his own ability.

Half a day later, everyone was sent back, and this opening of Thunder Mountain was completely over.

Everyone was leaving one after another; the Lei Family activated the array, and Thunder Mountain entered a closed state once again.

Chapter 2585: Daoist Tianlei Is Really Generous

Lei City, Yin Family.

The head of the Yin Family, Clan Leader Yin Changru, lowered his gaze, his expression looking slightly gloomy.

His appearance was six parts feminine, fair and clean, exuding a gloomy temperament.

Although he was the head of the Yin Family and also Yin Mingzong's father, he looked even younger than Yin Mingzong.

He had the cultivation of the Dao Venerable Realm and was one of the main decision-makers of the Yin Family, with a status second only to the Old Ancestor in the Yin Family.

At this moment, Yin Mingzong and Yin Mingyang stood before him, silent.

Yin Mingzong had told Clan Leader Yin Changru everything that happened at Thunder Mountain without missing a detail, and at the same time, he also shared some of his own speculations.

Clan Leader Yin Changru took a sip of tea and said in a low voice, "Zong'er, you mean that the matter at the previous auction is also related to these few people?"

Yin Mingzong said in a low voice, "I think it is very likely. The three of them not only snatched the Xuanguang Gauntlet, but also bid against my younger brother during the final auction, only to suddenly stop at the end."

"Moreover, they clearly know Elder Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing of the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce. I think it is highly likely that they are the ones playing tricks."

"Perhaps they teamed up with Elder Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing and want to extract benefits from our Yin Family."

Hearing Yin Mingzong's analysis, Clan Leader Yin Changru fell into silence.

Clan Leader Yin Changru knew that his eldest son had always been cautious in his actions. Such an accident occurring at the auction was indeed something he could not understand.

No matter how rich the Yin Family was, it was impossible for them to spend 10,000 Tier 3 fine-grade origin crystals to buy one Tier 4 world-class origin crystal.

The Yin Family would not do such a losing business.

The two brothers going to the auction previously was also a form of training, and with Yin Mingzong there, there shouldn't have been any trouble.

Unexpectedly, an accident still happened.

Clan Leader Yin Changru knew that the two brothers must have been schemed against, but he could not find any clues. Plus, the Yin Family could not afford to offend the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce, so this dumb loss had to be swallowed.

Having suffered a loss, the Yin Family naturally wanted revenge, but they could never find the source.

This accidental discovery, however, was a good lead.

Clan Leader Yin Changru said, "We cannot afford to offend the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce, but our Yin Family cannot swallow this dumb loss."

"Zong'er, Ming'er, you take some people and bring those few people back."

Yin Mingzong asked, "What about the Lei Family?"

Clan Leader Yin Changru said, "Bring the Thunder-Shielding Array. It would be best if they obediently listen; if they resist, then kill them directly."

"Be clean and efficient; settle it quickly."

"Ming'er, learn from your Big Brother, restrain your temper. How old are you now? You are not promising at all."

"If you continue like this, how can your father feel at ease handing the Yin Family over to you in the future?"

Facing his father, Yin Mingyang acted very obediently, showing none of his usual temper, and said submissively, "Father, rest assured, I will learn from Big Brother."

Clan Leader Yin Changru waved his hand. "Go, act tonight to avoid complications."

As the second-ranked family in Lei City, although they couldn't compare to the Lei Family, they were very familiar with Lei City.

They knew how to avoid the surveillance of Lei City's array; as long as the commotion wasn't too big, the array of Lei City would be hard-pressed to discover them.

The trip to Thunder Mountain ended, and Lin Moyu returned to his courtyard.

The Lei Family originally wanted to invite Lin Moyu to reside at the Lei Family, but Lin Moyu politely declined.

Lin Moyu had the thought of using the Lei Family as a backer, but he could not truly rely on the Lei Family; that was different.

A true backer could only be oneself; the Lei Family could at most be used to wave the banner, to be brought out for use at critical moments.

Only until returning to his residence did Lin Moyu put Mist down and place her on the Little Cow's back.

Mist felt the familiar aura in her sleep and became very at ease, hugging the Little Cow and continuing to sleep soundly.

This time, Mist was truly exhausted, nearly overdrawn, and almost damaged her Power of Origin.

Lin Moyu used the Power of Life to stabilize Mist's foundation. Now, for Mist, the best way was to have a sleep, but this sleep would be a bit long.

Xiaoyue came obediently before Lin Moyu. "Master, this is what Daoist Tianlei Master gave."

She handed the storage ring that Daoist Tianlei had given her to Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu smiled. "Since it was given to you by Senior Daoist Tianlei, then it is yours."

Xiaoyue shook her head. "It is full of origin crystals, and Xiaoyue cannot use that many."

"Oh? How many are there!"

Lin Moyu had long guessed that the storage ring must be full of origin crystals.

But as for the quantity, Lin Moyu could not guess.

Daoist Tianlei controlled a Tier 8 spirit vein. Over so many years, the Tier 8 spirit vein could naturally condense a large number of origin crystals.

It stood to reason that Daoist Tianlei would not give a small amount.

Xiaoyue also couldn't count them, so she simply took out all the origin crystals and piled them into several small hills in the courtyard. "Please take a look, Master."

Lin Moyu's eyes showed slight shock. "There really are a lot."

The small hills in front of them consisted of two piles.

The pile with the largest quantity was Tier 6 ordinary-grade origin crystals; this pile exceeded 500 pieces.

Equivalent to 5 million Tier 3 ordinary-grade origin crystals.

The other pile was Tier 6 fine-grade origin crystals, with a full 500 pieces.

The value of these origin crystals was immeasurable. If all converted into the most common Tier 3 origin crystals, there would be at least 10 million of them.

At this order of magnitude, perhaps the Lei Family could take it out if they exhausted their entire fortune.

A family of a five-star power like the Yin Family, even after accumulating for thousands of years, couldn't dream of taking it out.

"Brother Tianlei is really generous!"

Lin Moyu secretly clicked his tongue; the origin crystals given by Daoist Tianlei were indeed quite a lot. At the same time, he smiled and said, "Xiaoyue has become a rich woman!"

Xiaoyue shook her head. "Xiaoyue doesn't need so many origin crystals. It is more useful for Master to hold them than for Xiaoyue."

Lin Moyu smiled and shook his head. "Xiaoyue, keep them for now. If Master needs them in the future, I will ask Xiaoyue for them."

Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment, but eventually obediently put the origin crystals away. "Then when Master needs them, tell Xiaoyue anytime."

Lin Moyu said, "Xiaoyue, your Master Daoist Tianlei is tied up with matters and cannot teach you personally."

"Master will pass on his Thunder Dao to you on his behalf."

Xiaoyue widened her eyes. "Then, does Xiaoyue still need to continue practicing the fist techniques Master taught me?"

Lin Moyu smiled slightly. "The two do not conflict; you can practice them together. Now, calm your mind and focus; Master will pass the Dao to you!"

Xiaoyue immediately adjusted her breathing, and her mind instantly fell into silence.

Natural Jade Soul, coupled with Xiaoyue's innocent heart, made calming her mind and focusing as simple as eating and drinking for her.

Lin Moyu gently tapped his finger on the center of Xiaoyue's eyebrows, passing Daoist Tianlei's Dao over.

Daoist Tianlei had given Lin Moyu two jade tablets; one jade tablet recorded his life's learning of arrays, and the other jade tablet was the Thunder Dao.

The Thunder Dao was extremely powerful, and with Xiaoyue's current realm, she could not bear it at all.

Therefore, Lin Moyu only passed on a portion first.

At this moment, another benefit of the Natural Jade Soul was revealed: Xiaoyue's soul constitution could almost perfectly fit with any kind of power.

Natural Jade Soul was a top-tier cultivation constitution on the Origin Continent; no matter which Dao she cultivated, she could improve rapidly.

Lin Moyu, on behalf of Daoist Tianlei, passed all the cultivation methods of the Thunder Dao up to the Other Shore Realm to Xiaoyue.

While passing on the Dao, Lin Moyu also gained from it.

Although he did not cultivate the Thunder Dao, stones from other hills could serve to polish jade; all the myriad Daos eventually led to the same destination, so it did not hinder Lin Moyu from drawing inferences.

After the teaching was finished, Xiaoyue closed her eyes to digest it.

Lin Moyu then began to accept Daoist Tianlei's knowledge of arrays.

Yin and Yang alternated, and the Moon Origin soon ruled the earth.

Lin Moyu suddenly opened his eyes and looked outside the courtyard, revealing a cold sneer. "You really have some nerve!"

Chapter 2586: How About I Call You Yin Dead Man instead?

The courtyard was very quiet; Mist was still sleeping on the Little Cow, and the Little Cow was honestly and motionlessly acting as a soft bed.

Xiaoyue was still absorbing and digesting the cultivation methods; Daoist Tianlei's Dao was very majestic and would need some time to be fully absorbed.

Lin Moyu came back to his senses from the ocean of arrays.

Daoist Tianlei had gone very, very far in the path of arrays. According to the grading, he had already reached the level of a Tier 8 Array Grandmaster, one tier higher than Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing.

However, Daoist Tianlei specialized in Artifact Array and had not integrated Rune Array into it.

And most of the arrays he cultivated were related to thunder.
