"So, you don't know about your relationship with Lei Ling anymore?" Lei Lu looked thoughtful.
Lin Mu shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't know my mother as well as you do. Even I got this jade carving not long ago."
"Then why are you here?" Lei Lu said in surprise.
"Due to the use of a certain secret technique, my soul suffered backlash, and I need the Haunted Soul Grass to make an elixir for treatment." Lin Mu said truthfully.
"Let's all disperse." Lei Lu glanced at the thunder beasts, and then said, "Young Master, follow me."
There is a trail to the southeast of Lei Pond. Lei Lu brought Lin Mu and walked there.
While walking on the road, Lin Mu couldn't help but ask: "Commander Lu, what is the relationship between me and Lei Ling? How do I feel that I have a close connection with him?"
"Back then, the Spiritual Lord originally recognized the Lord as his master, but the Lord already had a natal beast and could no longer accept the Spiritual Lord."
Seeing Lei Ling clinging to Lin Mu, Lei Lu sighed and said slowly, "But we, the Thunder Beast Clan, have always repaid kindness. After discussing with your Majesty, we decided to take a compromise approach."
"Your Majesty will take a drop of the soul's natal blood and seal it in a piece of thunder jade. From now on, it will be inherited by the blood heir selected by your Majesty."
"So, the jade sculpture of your Majesty contains not only the restrictions of your Majesty, but also the blood of your spiritual master. By dripping your blood into the jade sculpture, you prove that you are the descendant of your bloodline, and you also sign a contract with your spiritual master.
A life contract."
Lin Mu was shocked: "Is that purple light the blood of Lei Ling?"
"That's right." Lei Lu said, "So if you have any requests, you can tell us without hesitation. From now on, you and Ling Zun will both be honored and humiliated. For Ling Zun, we will also find ways to improve your strength.
.”
"It seems that I, Tolei Ling, is the hindrance." Lin Mu said with a bitter smile. He was only a third-level warrior, and Lei Ling was already a peak martial artist. Lei Ling signed a life contract with him, and he really suffered a big loss.
"That's not necessarily true." Lei Lu smiled and shook his head, "I believe that your descendants are definitely not mediocre people, and I think that although your cultivation level is low, your foundation is much more solid than most human beings. What's more,
We, the Thunder Beast Tribe, cannot leave our territory, and unless you can help us break the seal one day, we will not be able to help you."
"Zhizhi." Lei Ling shook his two little paws, seeming to agree with Lei Lu's words.
"Can't it still talk?" Lin Mu looked at Lei Ling and smiled warmly.
"In this world, the more powerful a race is, the slower its spiritual intelligence opens. It's still early for Lei Ling to speak." Speaking of this, Lei Lu suddenly thought of something and laughed dumbly, "Of course, you humans are the exception.
"
Next, Leilu didn't say anything else.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Mu quickly communicated with Ye Qianche in his mind: "What is a life contract?"
"An equal life and soul connection contract. With this contract, from now on, the life and soul of you and this thunder spirit will be connected as one and can be shared at any time." Ye Qianche explained.
Lin Mu was surprised: "Then if one party to the contract dies, won't the other party also die?"
"What you are talking about is a master-servant contract." Ye Qianche said, "Only a master-servant contract can be so overbearing, just like the soul slaves of the soul clan. If the master falls, all the soul slaves will die."
"The natal contract emphasizes the equality of both parties. Once one of the parties dies, the other party will be affected, but it will never die. However, from now on, you can no longer sign a natal contract with other living beings. The natal contract has no influence on anyone."
For a living being, a contract can only be signed once in a lifetime."
"Then I signed a destiny contract with Lei Ling. Is it a blessing or a curse?" Lin Mu was completely unfamiliar with these things and could only ask Ye Qianche.
"This is a typical example of you getting a bargain but still being nice." Ye Qianche said angrily, "Not all living beings in this world can make natal contracts with other living beings. Generally, such contracts are inherited from the race or given by heaven and earth.
No matter what kind, this kind of creature is very rare and its future potential is limitless."
"Therefore, the creatures with a life contract are undoubtedly advanced creatures, and Lei Ling is definitely the leader among them."
"It has strong vitality and shocking lightning talent. You can share these futures with it, so you can have fun secretly."
"Could it be that I can also practice thunder power in the future?" Lin Mu's heart moved slightly.
"Not only can you practice, but you will also become a martial arts genius on the Thunder Road." Ye Qianche said firmly.
"Young Master, the soul spring is right ahead."
Just as Lin Mu and Ye Qianche were exchanging thoughts, Lei Lu's voice came again, with deep sadness, "In ancient times, our Thunder Beast Clan was famous all over the world. I don't know how many powerful people have affected the Thunder Pond and Soul Spring."
of pursuit.”
"But ever since the Thunder Beast Clan was sealed, except for Your Majesty, Young Master and a Nine-Xuan Fire Python, no other living beings have come here."
Looking along Lei Lu's line of sight, a strange place suddenly came into Lin Mu's field of vision.
Below is a staircase thousands of meters long. At the end of the staircase is a deep and cold spring.
The Ghost Grass, which is rare and rare to find outside, has grown like weeds around the entire deep spring.
"How did this soul spring come from?" Lin Mu felt that his soul was cold. The soul spring was so weird, as if every drop of spring water was a soul.
"I also don't know that the soul spring and thunder pond have existed in the territory of my Thunder Beast since ancient times." Lei Lu smiled, "Young Master, the Yin Soul Grass is of no use to us. Young Master, if you want to use it, just pick it as you like.
.”
Lin Mu was immediately polite and walked down the stairs.
As soon as he arrived at the Soul Spring, Ye Qianche suddenly became excited and flew out of the Tianji Tu.
"Zhizhi." Lei Ling straightened up suddenly and looked at Ye Qianche warily.
Lin Mu touched the fur on its forehead and comforted: "It's one of our own, don't worry."
Lei Ling was startled, and stared at Ye Qianche for a moment with his purple pearl-like eyes. Until he was sure that Ye Qianche's body indeed exuded the aura connected to Lin Mu, he relaxed his expression and lay on Lin Mu's shoulder again. The Lei above him
Lu also saw all this, and was shocked when he saw Ye Qianche's soul.
Then it became clear to him that others might not be able to see through Ye Qianche, but his true realm was extraordinary. He could tell at a glance that the souls and bodies of Ye Qianche and the original Nine Mysterious Fire Python were the same.
"This soul body is extremely mysterious. Even such a being is willing to follow the young master. The young master is indeed worthy of being the son of the noble master. He is already so extraordinary at a young age." Lei Lu said happily.
The greater the potential that Lin Mu shows, the greater the chance that the Thunder Beast Tribe will be rescued in the future.
After comforting Lei Ling, Lin Mu looked at Ye Qianche speechlessly: "Are you too excited?"
"Of course, such a pure soul spring, this is the most suitable place for my soul clan to practice. Even in the soul clan, such pure soul springs are rare." Ye Qianche said with a satisfied look.
As she spoke, she flew into the Soul Spring and sat cross-legged in the middle of the spring.
At this time, Lin Mu had already started picking the ghost grass.
He only needed a few soul-nourishing pills to refine, but to be prepared, he stocked up on thousands of them.
Anyway, there are too many ghost grasses here, so if you don’t pick them, you won’t be able to pick them.
"I have to go make alchemy, what about you?" Lin Mu was also satisfied after picking enough ghost grass.
"You go ahead, I will continue to practice here." Ye Qianche didn't even open his eyes.
Lin Mu shook his head, ignored her, and returned to the stairs.
"Commander Lu, is there a place suitable for alchemy in the territory?" Lin Mu asked when Lei Lu was still waiting there.
"A place for alchemy? There is indeed one, but the world has been too long and the earth fire has been cut off." Lei Lu said hesitantly.
"I can solve the fire problem, as long as there is a place." Lin Mu smiled.
"Well."
Lei Lu exhaled, and a gust of wind blew by, easily rolling Lin Mu onto its back.
Envy appeared on Lin Mu's face. When will he have the strength of Lei Lu?
Under the leadership of Lei Lu, Lin Mu quickly came to a large mountain peak.
What shocked Lin Mu was that when he walked into the mountain peak, there were actually alchemy rooms on both sides of the middle passage.
Unfortunately, those alchemy rooms have been abandoned for who knows how many years, and are filled with dust and weeds.
"How many years have you, the Thunder Beast Clan, been sealed away?" Lin Mu was deeply touched.
"I can't remember clearly." Lei Lu shook his head, "It was like this before I was born. I only know that it was about tens of thousands of years ago."
Tens of thousands of years
Lin Mu sighed, these years were too long, and he no longer knew what it meant.
However, he quickly became inspired again. Although these alchemy rooms had been abandoned for many years, things like alchemy furnaces were easy to preserve. Even after tens of thousands of years, many of them were still intact.
Although Lin Mu already had an alchemy furnace, it was obtained casually from the Wind Chime Medicine Pavilion. Compared with these ancient alchemy furnaces, it was simply rubbish.
"We, the Thunder Beast Clan, are a powerful ancient clan. Although I don't know how to make alchemy, there were still many alchemists in ancient times." Seeing Lin Mu's expression, Lei Lu said with a hint of pride.
Lin Mu carefully observed every alchemy room and found that these alchemy furnaces were all at the level of spiritual weapons.
My heart was pounding. This time I came to the Thunder Beast Clan and what I gained was really amazing.
There are three things that an alchemist attaches most importance to, namely alchemy fire, alchemy recipe and alchemy furnace.
He cannot provide the alchemy fire, but now that he has these alchemy furnaces and the alchemy formulas in his mind, he will definitely be able to win over many alchemists if he is willing.
"Don't rush these things. My strength is still too weak. Even if I bring the alchemist here, I won't be able to protect him." Lin Mu thought clearly.
"Huh? That is?"
Suddenly, Lin Mu stopped and found an alchemy room in front of him, which was closed.
Lei Lu glanced at the alchemy room and sighed: "It is said that it was the most advanced alchemy room of our Thunder Beast clan in ancient times, and only the best grandmaster at that time was qualified to use it.
Lin Mu was full of expectations: "Can you open it?"
"It can't be opened. There are only two ways to enter this alchemy room. One is to open it with the hands of the grandmaster at that time, and the other is to pass his test." With that said, Lei Lu walked aside and said, "Follow me.
"
Lin Mu followed Lei Lu to a spacious stone room next to it.
"There is a formation in this stone chamber that is connected to the door of the alchemy room. As long as the formation is cracked, the door will open naturally." Lei Lu said.
"really."
Lin Mu immediately observed his surroundings attentively, and found that just as Lei Lu said, there was a formation arranged in this stone chamber.
"Ninety-nine alchemy questions, and seven alchemy tests."
After a while, Lin Mu finally figured out the formation and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The ninety-nine alchemy problems are not difficult for him. With Wu Qingyun's memory, he can completely solve them.
However, those seven alchemy tests require a very high level of alchemy.
With his current ability, he can only refine the elixir described in the first test.
