The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chapter 430 Entering the Cultivation World 21

Chao Yao and Wen Fufeng looked at Lei Kui's sincere and eager eyes, and felt a little shaken.

Seeing this, Lei Kui hurriedly said, "Sister, brother, look, I have countless natural treasures here. As long as you stay, these are all yours."

As he spoke, he took out a Ganoderma Lucidum herb that exuded a rich spiritual energy from his storage ring. The herb was glowing with light, and it was obvious at first glance that it was not an ordinary item.

Then, he took out a crystal clear spirit bead, which seemed to contain mysterious power. "This spirit bead can greatly increase the speed of cultivation. As long as you don't leave, it will belong to you."

Lei Kui kept showing off precious treasures, including thousand-year-old spiritual fruits that could enhance physical fitness, rare minerals that could be used to refine top-level magic weapons, and mysterious jade slips that contained powerful magical inheritance.

Chao Yao and Wen Fufeng were so shocked by the rare treasures before them that they were speechless for a moment.

Lei Kui continued, "Sister, brother, these are only part of my treasures. As long as you agree to stay, there will be more good things in the future. We will definitely be able to make great progress in this Leilin Sea with these treasures, which may not be worse than going out to venture out."

Chao Yao quickly asked Lei Kui to put these things away and warned him not to show off his wealth.

"Xiao Yu, put it away quickly. Such precious things should not be shown to others easily. If it attracts someone with bad intentions, it will be troublesome." Chao Yao said seriously.

Lei Kui shook his head stubbornly and said, "Sister, as long as you can stay, none of this matters."

Wen Fufeng also stepped forward and said earnestly: "Xiao Yu, we know you mean well, but we can't change our original intention just because of these treasures. And it's too dangerous for you to show the treasures so easily."

After hearing this, Lei Kui looked a little lonely and slowly put the treasure back into the storage ring.

At this point, Chao Yao was also moved by Lei Kui's innocence.

She looked at Lei Kui, who looked dejected, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Xiao Yu, to be honest, we came to Leilin Sea this time to look for the blood essence of the ancient beast. I heard that there is an ancient beast named Lei Kui in Leilin Sea, so I want to give it a try."

Lei Kui was surprised, his eyes widened as he asked, "Sister, what are you looking for Lei Kui's blood essence for?"

Chao Yao looked determined and answered seriously: "Xiao Yu, I need Lei Kui's blood essence mainly to forge my own soul space, which is crucial to my path of cultivation."

Lei Kui's eyes became complicated, showing hesitation, struggle, and a hint of imperceptible fear.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Sister, that Lei Kui is an extremely powerful and ferocious ancient beast. It is not easy to obtain its blood essence."

Wen Fufeng said on the side: "But this is something we must try, even if the chances are slim."

"Does it have to be Lei Kui? Can't other ancient mythical beasts be used?"

Lei Kui curled his lips. He finally knew the real purpose of these two people.

It's just a drop of blood, which is not particularly important to him. He can make up for it by nurturing it for a hundred years or eating some rare treasures.

Ancient mythical beasts like him are born and raised naturally, so it is very difficult for them to die.

But why must he use his own? Can't he use the essence and blood of his mortal enemy?

"It's not impossible, as long as it's the blood essence of an ancient mythical beast."

Chao Yao thought about it seriously and answered.

"In that case, I'll go get the Taotie ones for you. As long as the two of you stay here with me for ten years, I'll get it for you."

After Lei Kui said this, he folded his hands over his chest with a hint of pride on his face.

He paced back and forth, seemingly thinking about something.

Suddenly, he stopped, looked straight at Chao Yao and Wen Fufeng, and said, "Sister, brother, to be honest, I am Lei Kui."

When Chao Yao and Wen Fufeng heard this, they opened their mouths in shock, their faces full of disbelief.

Lei Kui smiled helplessly and continued, "I didn't want to reveal my identity. I felt that you two couldn't beat me, so there was nothing to hide any more. Since you need the blood essence of the ancient beast, I can give it to you, but you have to promise me that after you get the blood essence, you must keep your promise."

Chao Yao and Wen Fufeng looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and hesitation.

Seeing this, Lei Kui snorted, "Why, you don't believe me? I, Lei Kui, always keep my word."

Chao Yao hurriedly said, "Lord Lei Kui, we naturally believe you, but this all happened too suddenly."

Wen Fufeng also nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that you are the Lei Kui we have been looking for."

Lei Kui waved his hands and said, "Forget it. In that case, you guys wait here. I will go and get the essence and blood." After saying that, he disappeared on the spot in a flash.

After a long while, Lei Kui came back panting.

There were several wounds on his body, which were bleeding profusely, and his clothes were tattered. It was obvious that he had experienced an extremely fierce struggle in the process of obtaining the essence and blood.

"Humph, that Taotie is really hard to deal with."

While complaining, Lei Kui carefully took out a jade bottle from his arms with trembling hands.

His eyes still showed the tension and fatigue from the battle just now. "I first sneaked into the territory of Taotie. It was a gloomy and terrifying place, filled with a creepy atmosphere. I carefully avoided the various traps and mechanisms it had set up, and every step I took was filled with fear and trepidation."

Lei Kui paused, took a few deep breaths and continued, "I finally got close to its lair, only to find that guy fast asleep. I wanted to take the opportunity to steal its blood essence, but I didn't expect that as soon as I got close, it suddenly woke up and launched a fierce attack on me. The Taotie was huge and powerful, and every attack was like a tidal wave. I could only dodge left and right, looking for an opportunity to fight back."

"After a fierce battle, I found an opportunity and hit it with all my strength. While it was in pain, I quickly rushed to the place where the blood essence was stored. But there were powerful restrictions around it. I spent a lot of effort to break through the restrictions and get the bottle of blood essence."

Chao Yao and Wen Fufeng looked delighted and were about to step forward, but stopped abruptly.

Chao Yao was the first to clasp his fists and said sincerely, "Lord Lei Kui, this time you took the risk to seize the blood essence for us. We will never forget your kindness. If you need us in the future, we will never refuse, even if we have to go through fire and water."

Wen Fufeng then said, "Yes, Lord Lei Kui. We admire your bravery and righteousness."

After saying this, they both bowed together, their eyes filled with gratitude and respect.

Lei Kui looked at Chao Yao and Wen Fufeng, a smug smile on his face, and said: "Humph, don't be too happy too soon. My trip was not in vain. Not only did I get the blood essence, but not just one drop, but ten drops!"

After hearing this, Chao Yao and Wen Fufeng widened their eyes in surprise and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lei Kui continued, "I thought one drop of blood essence might not be enough for you, so I just took some more."

Just as he finished speaking, a strong pressure suddenly came from the sky, making the three of them almost unable to breathe.
