Chapter 1019: Chapter 1016: Greed
Yang Fei held Qin Yanyang’s hand. The two were in sync, so when Li Yue taught Yang Fei the Fireball Technique, Qin Yanyang also felt as if she were controlling the technique when Yang Fei demonstrated it after comprehending it.
After entering the cave, Qin Yanyang continued to ponder the means of controlling the Fireball Technique.
Yang Fei sensed her thoughts and explained it to her in detail.
Qin Yanyang quickly grasped the trick, feeling a sense of joy inside.
A moment later, she transmitted her voice to Yang Fei: "Since the Fire Attribute Elements can be used in this way, other elements should be viable too. Can we manipulate the Gold Attribute Element to condense lightning?"
Yang Fei was overjoyed, replying: "Yes indeed, haha, you’re so clever, wife, always drawing analogies!"
Qin Yanyang transmitted: "It sounds easy, but achieving it in reality is difficult. I’ll need to ponder more deeply. I believe we can find the key, and once we do, everything will fall into place."
Yang Fei responded, transmitting: "Let’s not think about this now. First, let’s see if we can safely leave here."
Qin Yanyang nodded, and the two ceased communication, focusing on following Li Yue as they made their way.
The road inside the cave was rugged and the air humid, but the fireball controlled by Li Yue never extinguished.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the passage remained endless.
Yet along the way, they hadn’t encountered any dangers.
Li Yue exclaimed with delight, "Little Brother Yang is indeed skilled in formations. I previously chose three paths full of peril and traps, but this passage has none whatsoever."
Yang Fei modestly replied, "Brother Li is too kind, I only know a little about formations. Moreover, speaking prematurely now might be unwise."
Li Yue said, "Among our generation of brothers, Junior Brother Lu Chen has the highest attainment in Array Formation Talisman Tao. It’s a pity that everyone was scattered; otherwise, with him here, I wouldn’t have been trapped for so long. Brother Yang, your talent in formations is exceptional, as is your cultivation talent. If you went to the Central Great World, all sects and aristocratic families would cherish talents like you greatly. Why confine yourself to this small planetary world?"
Yang Fei laughed, "Everyone has their own aspirations, right?"
Li Yue sighed and said no more.
They traveled a long distance without encountering any danger, yet this passage seemed endless, causing the three to doubt.
Just then, a weak light appeared ahead.
The three brightened up, feeling immense joy.
Li Yue said, "We’re out."
He sped up, swiftly flying towards the light.
"Li Yue, Senior Brother?"
At that moment, a voice filled with surprise and joy came from ahead.
Li Yue was delighted to hear this, "Junior Brother Sun Lei?"
"It’s me, wonderful, finally seeing you. Senior Brother Li, with which other brothers are you right now?" asked the Lingxiao Sect disciple called Sun Lei joyfully.
Li Yue said, "With two local cultivators."
As he spoke, he moved quickly to join Sun Lei.
Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang saw Li Yue meet his sect junior brother, immediately becoming alert.
Li Yue indeed seemed kind, yet they hadn’t interacted with the other Lingxiao Sect disciples, unaware of their temperaments.
Moreover, Li Yue’s kindness previously was due to his fatigued and weak state, while Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang were together.
Now, having found his sect brothers, in a situation with two on each side, would the other still be so amicable? It’s hard to tell.
"Local cultivators?" Sun Lei’s voice bore surprise, "Isn’t this planet a technological civilization? How are there cultivators? And they managed to enter here; their strength isn’t weak."
Li Yue said, "Yes, these are two remarkably talented Earth cultivators, likely in Foundation Establishment Early Stage."
"Seriously? Under previous circumstances on this planet, it could foster Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators?" Sun Lei’s voice was filled with disbelief, as if unable to accept Li Yue’s words.
Li Yue did not further explain, instead turning back to Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, saying: "No need to worry, this is Junior Brother Sun from Lingxiao Sect."
Yang Fei passed a voice to Qin Yanyang: "Be careful."
Qin Yanyang responded with a nod.
Hand in hand, the two approached.
The light grew brighter, soon the exit was in sight, revealing a spacious cave, seeming naturally illuminated, which delighted them.
However, after scanning the cave, their hearts sank.
The brightness in this cave was not natural but emanated from a giant Luminous Pearl.
Additionally, there were many cave openings around this cave, appearing dark and deep, leading who-knows-where.
Li Yue examined this cave, and his joy at escaping was frozen on his face.
Sun Lei scrutinized Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang.
Upon sensing the strong True Qi emanating from the two, his expression subtly shifted, realizing that Li Yue spoke the truth.
These Earth natives were indeed at Foundation Establishment Early Stage, which was extremely surprising.
But soon his gaze lingered on Qin Yanyang, unable to look away.
Top-grade Earth Spirit Root cultivator!
Previously, Spiritual Energy on this planet was so scarce, utterly unsuitable for cultivators to thrive.
So when Li Yue mentioned encountering two native Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, Sun Lei found it hard to believe.
But now he believed.
Because of this woman’s Spirit Root attribute.
She was of the legendary top-grade Earth Spirit Root.
Cultivators with such Spirit Root possess unparalleled cultivation talent and are ideal for dual cultivation. Any cultivator joining her in dual cultivation will see their efforts greatly amplified.
In the cultivation civilization world, female cultivators with Earth Spirit Root are sought after by all male cultivators as desired Dao companions.
Yet in the vast Central Great World, such Earth Spirit Root female cultivators are few overall, let alone one possessing top-grade Earth Spirit Root.
Sun Lei’s fervent gaze made Qin Yanyang feel extremely disgusted.
Yang Fei, being right next to Qin Yanyang, naturally sensed this person’s fervent stare, his gaze abruptly cold, releasing a fierce killing intent, fixating on Sun Lei.
Li Yue also noticed his junior brother Sun Lei’s peculiar behavior, brows furrowing, loudly reminding him: "Junior Brother Sun."
Simultaneously, he was internally puzzled.
To his knowledge, Sun Lei wasn’t the lecherous type; the cultivation realm had many female cultivators with excellent temperament and appearance, yet he had never seen his junior brother lose composure like this before; why such a reaction now?
He was unaware that Sun Lei had obtained a Magic Artifact capable of detecting others’ Spirit Roots, allowing him to easily discern the attribute and quality of a cultivator’s Spirit Root through this artifact below the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Relying on this artifact, Sun Lei cultivated connections with those having high-quality Spirit Roots in Lingxiao Sect, rarely associating with cultivators with low Spirit Root grades, combined with his own not-too-weak talent, he connected with the most outstanding of his generation in the sect, maintaining excellent relations.
Most importantly, he recommended several disciples with decent Spirit Root grades to the sect using this Magic Artifact, thus granting him notable presence among many sect elders.
Presently, using the artifact he possessed, upon learning Qin Yanyang was a top-grade Earth Spirit Root cultivator, Sun Lei was genuinely astonished.
Then, he developed an uncontrollable obsession.
He wanted to claim the female cultivator with top-grade Earth Spirit Root as his own.
With this woman as his Dao companion, his cultivation speed would inevitably multiply.
