Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 176 Experience Points Soar

Although Longhu Mountain, Maoshan Mountain and Gezhao Mountain are known as the Three Mountains of Talismans, each of them has its own thunder method and thunder power, which are all powerful top-notch means.

As a disciple of Zhengyi, who doesn’t want to master the Five Thunders?

Unlike Longhu Mountain and Maoshan Mountain, the teaching of thunder magic in Gezhao Mountain is not strictly controlled. As long as one meets the conditions for practice, anyone in Gezhao Mountain can practice it, regardless of whether they are from the Ge family or other surnames.

One of the conditions is a peaceful mind.

Thunder magic is extremely powerful, and its immense force often makes people lose themselves, so practitioners need to maintain inner peace so as not to harm others or themselves.

The second condition is to temper the body with thunder.

To master lightning, one must first be able to withstand its power. Without this level, forcing oneself to practice is like courting disaster.

The first one is simple. Not only those who practice Taoism, but also many ordinary people can meet the standard by reading Taoist scriptures more often when they have nothing to do.

But this second one is extremely difficult.

At this time, there were at least thirty or forty people inside and outside the Thunder Valley, but only two or three of them were able to reach the bottom of the valley and complete their body tempering.

You know, as one of the three mountains, Gezhao Mountain can be regarded as a model of Xuanmen, and its disciples are already outstanding people.

Those who dare to challenge Thunder Valley are the elite among the elites.

Even so, the success rate is less than 10%.

"Fellow Daoist, you're all dressed so... coolly. Wouldn't it be awkward if a female disciple came to temper her body?"

In front of the entrance to Thunder Valley, Li Kunshan stood by, looking at the disciples of Gezhao Mountain who were only wearing shorts, and couldn't help but ask.

"Don't the people of Maoshan have even this little common sense?"

The man glanced at Li Kunshan and snorted coldly.

"Thunder magic is extremely strong and yang. How can I practice the Kun Dao? Why do I have to endure this pain?"

"so……"

Li Kunshan nodded. No wonder he didn’t see any female Taoist priests. It turned out that they were not shy, but they were unable to practice.

However, the thunder techniques of Longhu Mountain and Maoshan Mountain do not have such restrictions. It seems that the thunder techniques of Gezhao Mountain are indeed different.

"that."

After clearing his mind of these distracting thoughts, Li Kunshan asked again.

"Is there a rule that says you can't enter Thunder Valley without taking off your clothes?"

"of course not."

The man frowned and said impatiently.

"How can you apply the magic oil for lightning protection on your body without taking off your clothes?"

"I don't need oil!"

"No oil?"

"I'm different from you. Even without applying the magic oil, I can still be strong."

"Humph."

The man snorted again in disdain, thinking that Li Kunshan was just bragging, and then he spoke casually.

"Even if you are gifted and don't get struck by lightning, what about the clothes on your body? Are they so strong that they can survive being struck by lightning or burned by fire?"

"This……"

Li Kunshan was used to being struck by lightning, but he had rarely been struck by lightning and had never thought about this problem.

Yes, Thunder Tempering.

Since it is a body tempering exercise, all parts of the body must be hit. How can these ordinary clothes withstand it?

In fact, anyone who came out of Thunder Valley was lucky enough to still have a few strips of cloth hanging around their waist.

"Forget it, just treat it as a big bathhouse."

But they were just being frank with each other. We were all fellow disciples, so there was no need to be shy. Li Kunshan immediately took off his outer clothes, leaving only his underpants like the other disciples of Gezhao Mountain.

Stretch your arms and legs and walk straight to the entrance of Thunder Valley.

"he……"

Seeing Li Kunshan coming, the surrounding disciples of Gezhao Mountain stopped, looked at each other, and couldn't help frowning.

Why doesn't he apply oil?
Before entering Thunder Valley, one must first report to the wooden house. Even a Maoshan disciple would know this.

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing that Li Kunshan was only one meter away from the entrance, a tall and thin disciple of Gezhao Mountain finally couldn't help but call him with a serious expression.

"You're going into Thunder Valley without applying oil. Are you tired of living?"

"Didn't I tell you I don't need oil?"

"This is no joke!"

I used to think Li Kunshan was just talking nonsense, but who knew he was serious.

Although they were annoyed that he, a Maoshan disciple, came to learn the thunder method of Gezhao Mountain, they were all fellow practitioners after all, and no one could bear to see him die in the Thunder Valley in vain.

"I'm not kidding."

Li Kunshan smiled and stepped into the Thunder Valley without any hesitation.

"Oops!"

Seeing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.

Boom~!

The next moment, deafening thunder sounded.

Looking at the thunder and lightning around him, Li Kunshan was slightly stunned, then smiled, thinking it was interesting.

There was thunder roaring inside, but no sound could be heard outside.

I think this Thunder Valley is under some kind of magical restriction.

But think about it, if not, how could an ordinary valley be filled with thunder and lightning.

Even if Li Kunshan had mastered the eighth level of the Thunder Art, he would not be able to create such a Thunder Valley.

For a moment, I couldn't help but wonder which senior master in Gezhao Mountain could have such a skill.

Boom~!

However, he had no time to think about it. Along with the roar, the chaotic lightning around him, several of which were heading towards him.

"careful!"

Outside the Thunder Valley, the disciples of Gezhao Mountain looked anxious and shouted again.

Then I remembered that one couldn’t hear the thunder from outside, nor could one hear people talking from inside.

Buzz~!

The lightning hit Li Kunshan directly, and his whole body was flashing with electric light. But the next moment, the lightning slid down like dew on a lotus leaf and leaked into the ground.

"This is……"

Everyone's eyes widened instantly, then they came to their senses and looked at Li Kunshan, their faces filled with shock again.

Li Kunshan was standing there intact. Not only was he not dead, there wasn't even a trace of burnt marks from lightning on his body.

"what happened?"

"do not know."

"Either it's a natural talent or some kind of trick."

The disciples of Gezhao Mountain discussed for a while with serious expressions, but none of them knew the secret.

"Let's go! Let's go in too!"

"Right! We can't let this kid from Maoshan look down on us!"

Immediately afterwards, the disciples of Gezhao Mountain, who had been anointed with oil, also entered the Thunder Valley.

"They're all here."

Seeing this, Li Kunshan smiled slightly and continued to walk inside.

He had already melted the entry for [Lightning Rod], but with his eighth-level cultivation in Thunder Art, how could he be easily hurt by lightning?

Possessing the magical power of 'transforming into thunder', Li Kunshan only transformed part of his body into thunder, which allowed him to completely temper his body with thunder without suffering too much damage.

There is also the orange entry [Dead Tree Comes Back to Life], which has strong vitality and amazing recovery ability, so this amount of damage is nothing at all.

"Ah~!"

"It hurts!"

"Damn it! Hold it in!"

Others don't have his ability. Although their bodies are coated with oil, they cannot completely block lightning. They are still struck by lightning and scream in pain.

But seeing that Li Kunshan had already walked in, how could they, the disciples of Gezhao Mountain, lose to Maoshan? They could not help but grit their teeth and hold on and walked in as well.

The further in you go, the denser the lightning becomes and the more powerful it becomes.

"No!"

After walking just over ten meters, some people couldn't hold on any longer and had to retreat. By the time they reached twenty meters, there were less than twenty people left.

"He stopped!"

"Everyone work harder and surpass him!"

Li Kunshan, who had been moving forward just now, suddenly stopped. Everyone was encouraged and immediately gritted their teeth and continued to move forward.

Watching the disciples of Gezhao Mountain passing by one by one, Li Kunshan still stood there motionless, feeling the lightning striking his body, with excitement flashing in the depths of his pupils.

"really!"

Every time a bolt of lightning strikes your body, your experience in Thunder Technique will suddenly increase by about ten points!

Being struck by lightning can actually improve your proficiency in thunder techniques!
After discovering this, Li Kunshan quickly stopped, wishing that all the lightning would strike him.

Looking at Lei Jue's ever-increasing experience points, his heart was filled with joy.

If he had known that being struck by lightning could improve his thunder skills, he would have struck himself with lightning a few times whenever he had nothing to do.

wrong.

Li Kunshan had been struck by lightning before, but he had never gained any experience in thunder techniques. It should be that only when struck by lightning here would it be effective.

Yes.

Looking around, Li Kunshan nodded secretly.

This Thunder Valley was arranged by the masters of Gezhao Mountain to assist in the practice of thunder magic. Being struck by lightning here is very likely a way of practicing thunder magic!

Although Li Kunshan is not clear about the reason, it should be correct.

In this way, it is understandable that being struck by lightning can improve one's proficiency in thunder techniques.

"Ok?"

Just when Li Kunshan was happy, the increase in experience points suddenly stopped.

Li Kunshan frowned and was hit by several lightning strikes, but his experience points remained unchanged.

No effect?

Li Kunshan pondered for a moment and continued walking inside.

When you reach 30 meters, your experience points start to increase again.

"Fortunately."

Li Kunshan patted his chest and couldn't help but sigh.

The Thunder Valley is three hundred meters in total. The further you go in, the more violent and powerful the thunder and lightning become.

If you walk the three hundred meters from the valley entrance to the valley bottom, you will complete the Thunder Body Tempering, and then you can formally practice the Gezhao Mountain Thunder Method.

The reason why the experience points stopped increasing was because the power of the lightning was not enough, or in other words, Li Kunshan's body had adapted to the power of lightning at a distance of twenty meters.

Therefore, when you reach thirty meters, the power of lightning increases and the experience value increases again.

For the same reason, when he first entered the valley, the power of lightning was too weak to stimulate Li Kunshan much, so his experience points did not increase at all.

So, when Li Kunshan gets used to the power of lightning at a distance of thirty meters, his experience points will stop increasing. But as he continues to move forward, they will continue to increase.

"Stopped."

This was indeed the case. After a moment, the experience value growth stopped.

But when Li Kunshan walked to the 40th meter, his experience points began to increase again.

Li Kunshan couldn't help but feel happy again after his thoughts were verified.

"hateful!"

“We’ve been caught up!”

After finally catching up, the disciples of Gezhao Mountain were annoyed when they saw Li Kunshan catching up again.

I was determined to surpass Li Kunshan again.

But after a moment, Li Kunshan continued to move forward.

Every ten meters, pause for a while, and then continue forward.

At first, everyone still had some fighting spirit in their hearts.

But when Li Kunshan walked to the 60th meter, everyone couldn't help but frown.

They were able to reach the 60-meter position on their first entry, which tied the best result of their generation in recent years.

However, Li Kunshan did not use magic oil.

You know, many people have been practicing in Thunder Valley for a while and still can't reach the 60th meter. Some people even give up without ever reaching the 60th meter.

"Forward again!"

Just as everyone was frowning, Li Kunshan moved forward again and stopped at the 70th meter.

It seemed that Li Kunshan, who was still calm in the center of the violent thunder and lightning, made everyone frown more and more.

This distance has exceeded the highest record in recent years!
"Gone again!"

After a moment, Li Kunshan continued and stopped at 80 meters.

"never mind."

"I can't hold it anymore."

Seeing this, many people sighed and retreated directly.

I wanted to compete with Li Kunshan before, but the distance of 80 meters is still out of reach for many people.

Li Kunshan easily reached a place on his first try, which they couldn't reach despite their best efforts. What else is this about? Is it about overestimating one's own abilities?

Of course, there are still a few people who did not give up and continued to move forward.

But the further they went, the more powerful the thunder and lightning became, and the more difficult it became for them to walk.

In contrast, Li Kunshan had to pause for a moment every ten meters, but he remained calm from beginning to end and looked very relaxed.

This continued until Li Kunshan walked a hundred meters.

one third!

The valley is three hundred meters long in total, and Li Kunshan has already walked one third of it!

This starting record has never been achieved by anyone, let alone their generation, even the teachers of the previous generation.

"What a monster!"

Those who can stand at this point are the elite among the elites, and are considered top talents by others. However, when they look at Li Kunshan at this moment, they can't help but feel a sense of frustration in their hearts.

"Return!"

"He finally retreated!"

Just when everyone was discouraged, Li Kunshan finally began to retreat.

Just like when moving forward, we paused for a while every few meters and retreated ten meters at a time until we exited the Thunder Valley.

"He went out?"

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although Li Kunshan was a monster, fortunately, he still had his limits.

They were really worried that Li Kunshan would keep walking until he reached the bottom of the valley.

You know, in the history of Gezhao Mountain, only one person was able to walk to the bottom of the valley in one breath the first time he entered.

"No!"

"I can't hold it anymore!"

After Li Kunshan withdrew, the others breathed a sigh of relief, but they could no longer hold on physically and mentally, so they also left the valley.

Gasping for breath, he couldn't help but look at Li Kunshan.

I saw Li Kunshan sitting alone on the bluestone not far away, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

What is he laughing at?
Everyone in Gezhao Mountain looked at each other and frowned again.

"Two thousand points!"

After walking a hundred meters, the experience points of Thunder Technique soared from 8,000 to 10,000, an increase of almost 2,000 experience points!
You know, even if Li Kunshan and the five Blood God Sons practiced hard, it would take countless days and nights to increase their experience points by 2,000.

And now, he only walked a hundred meters.

"I hope it still works."

In addition to being happy, Li Kunshan looked at Lei Gu with an extremely burning gaze.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he must squeeze out the full potential of this valley!

The reason why he retreated was not because he could not withstand the subsequent thunder and lightning, but because he wanted to give it a try.

After he exits and re-enters, can he increase his experience points again?

"Enter!"

After thinking it over, about an hour later, Li Kunshan walked into Lei Valley again with excitement on his face.

"Shit! He's in again!"

Seeing this, the disciples of Gezhao Mountain outside couldn't help but swear.

After leaving, they usually need to rest for a day or two to recover. Li Kunshan was only an hour away, and he went back in!
