Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 502: Thunder Mountain
Yang Qian had been to the outer mountain of the Wulei Palace, Fengbo City, and many demon mountains and thieves' mountain gates in Shuangqing Prefecture.

But what he had seen was only a small part of the cultivation world. Now that he had entered the main gate of the Five Thunder Palace, he realized that the spirit of the immortal gate was not what he had seen before, and there was still more for him to explore further.

For example, the mountain protection formation at the entrance.

The strongest formation Yang Qian had ever seen was the current Wu Lei Palace's mountain protection formation. There should be stronger ones in Fengbo City, but at that time Fengbo City was not open to casual movement, and there were no great formations within the range Yang Qian could see.

Not to mention the evil mountains and the thieves who repaired the mountain gates in Shuangqing Prefecture.

Feiyun Valley was destroyed by Jiang Yuhe's calamity, so it's hard to tell how the formation works. Although the mountain protection formation of Chansi Cave is not bad, it's still far inferior to that of Wulei Palace.

The scenery along the way is also beautiful.

It is probably due to the abundant spiritual energy in Lingshan that every blade of grass and tree here looks fresh and natural. When the breeze blows, they seem to have spirituality, making people stop and watch involuntarily.

Not to mention the many springs in the mountains, surrounded by mist, it looks like a fairy mountain in a storybook.

Not to mention Fang Yuan, Yang Qian couldn't help but feel grateful in his heart for the great environment inside the main gate of Wu Lei Palace!

The higher you go, the denser the spiritual energy becomes.

"The inner disciples' residence starts from the middle of the mountain. Further up are several palaces on the main peak. Usually, the sect will call the disciples here when there is a major event. The inner disciples also teach there.

There is also a library up there.”

Although it was called a residence, it was actually built quite exquisitely. It looked no worse than Yang Qian's residence in Jizhou Prefecture, and it also had some of the unique pointed lightning-attracting designs found on Thunder Mountain. It was probably used to assist in the practice of thunder magic.

"You will also be staying here for the next few days. I have already told the inner sect's disciples in charge in advance to vacate the most secluded courtyard for you and your wife to live in.

Should we go to the residence first or go directly to the top to meet the sect leader?"

"Let's go to our residence first. There's been a lot of thunder up there, and my wife will probably feel very uncomfortable, so it's better for her to rest here first."

"Okay, let's settle Madam Fang first. Please, this way."

I have to say that the courtyard arranged by the Five Thunder Palace is very good. It is next to the mountain and has a very wide view. You can see distant mountains and nearby trees at a glance. It is also very quiet and far away from the courtyards of other disciples.

After settling Fang Yuan, Yang Qian followed Xu Xiushan and Wang Zhen all the way to the top of the mountain.

"I wonder if I can meet Elder Lin and Elder Feng this time?" Yang Qian asked with a smile seemingly unintentionally as he continued to climb the stairs.

Wang Zhen and Xu Xiushan looked at each other quickly, and then Wang Zhen said, "This is unfortunate. Elder Lin and Elder Feng were sent to Fengbo City by the sect leader for sect affairs, and they will not be back in the short term. If there is a chance, I will introduce them to you, Yang Qian, next time."

"Oh? That's a pity." Yang Qian responded and didn't mention it again. Elder Lin and Elder Feng were the first and second elders of the Five Thunder Palace. They were disciples of the same generation as the sect leader Xu Hai. One was in the late Out-of-Body Realm and the other was in the early Fusion Realm.

When the Tianmu Secret Realm was opened, it was these two people who stayed behind in the Wulei Palace. The so-called misunderstanding should also be attributed to these two people.

However, it seems that Wu Lei Palace deliberately transferred these two people away to avoid trouble.

This made Yang Qian lose some of his fun. He came here to ask the two scapegoats of the Five Thunder Palace in person whether they had really "forgotten". Now it seems that there is no such opportunity. As they approached the top of the mountain, the ease on Yang Qian's face slowly disappeared, replaced by caution and surprise.

As a fellow cultivator of thunder magic, Yang Qian knew very well how violent the thunder power on the mountaintop was. Water and wind were intertwined among the five elements, but no water drops were seen, only the deafening roar of thunder and the thunder that kept falling without any pattern.

The big ones are as thick as thighs, while the small ones are as thick as children’s arms. Moreover, these thunders are unusual, with rich destructive rules in them and their power is particularly terrifying!
These thunders reminded Yang Qian of the thunders in the heavenly tribulation. Although they were not as terrifying, they already gave him a similar feeling.

There is a hall on the top of the mountain. It also has the same pointed roof structure as the inner disciples' residences halfway up the mountain, but there are more of them, three in total.

"The leader of the sect is waiting for you inside. Go in."

Wang Zhen and Xu Xiushan walked in front, leading Yang Qian, pushing open the door of the hall and walking in.

Yang Qian had heard of Lei Lingzi Xu Hai's name a long time ago, but this was the first time he saw his true face. At this moment, Xu Hai was standing in the middle of the hall, with his hands behind his back, looking over with a smile on his face.

Xu Hai's hair is completely white, but he looks like a middle-aged man. His eyes are full of sincerity and wisdom, which makes people feel close but also majestic.

What Yang Qian was most concerned about was Xu Hai's cultivation. It seemed that he was in the late stage of the fusion realm, just like Yang Ding and Zhu Hongchan. But Xu Hai gave Yang Qian a more dangerous feeling.

Lei Lingzi Xu Hai!
The number one expert in the Five Thunder Palace is indeed worthy of his reputation!
"Disciple Yang Qian greets the sect leader!"

"Haha, no need to be so polite. I've been dreaming of meeting you, my great contributor, for a long time. I didn't expect to see you until now! Sit down and try the thunder tip I just cooked!"

When Yang Qian first came in, he smelled a fresh tea fragrance and saw a tea stove next to him. He also saw Xu Xiushan and Wang Zhen's eyes light up. He thought to himself, this tea must be the "Leijian" that Xu Hai mentioned? It looks like it is not an ordinary product, otherwise Wang Zhen and Xu Xiushan would not be so happy.

"Master, you are too kind. Yang Qian has always disobeyed discipline and has been hanging around in the secular world. He has only managed to avoid bringing disgrace upon the reputation of the Five Thunder Palace, but he has not done anything meritorious. He does not deserve your praise."

After some greetings, they sat down. Xu Xiushan sat next to the teapot very consciously and brewed tea very skillfully.

A cup of tea costs less than three cents, and I drank it in one gulp. It tasted light and elegant, and at the same time, there was a tingling sensation like thunder and lightning. After it went down my stomach, there was a pure thunder energy that spread from my stomach to my limbs.

A cup of tea can actually have such an effect. It's a surprise!
"There are only three or five plants of this tea growing in the Leichi on the top of the mountain, and the annual output is less than half a pound. If you like it, you can come to me and I will brew a pot for you. Hahaha."

Yang Qian even said he didn't dare.

I thought Xu Hai would say something to explain the misunderstanding or test Yang Qian's attitude, but in fact Xu Hai was just chatting with Yang Qian, at most talking about some things related to thunder magic.

Until the pot of tea is finished.

"Okay, we've had our tea and chatted. It's just in time for you to come back this time, so you can learn some skills from Elder Zhou of Baicao Valley. You can also learn the thunder method that you left behind.

Stay a little longer. It's a rare opportunity to come back, so you should figure out everything you need to know!"

Yang Qian bowed and said, "Disciple understands, I will definitely study hard!"

Before leaving, Xu Hai smiled and patted Yang Qian's arm, saying, "Don't be distant. You are still a disciple of the sect. You can have grudges, but you can always resolve them in the future. Just don't dwell on it."
