Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

"Thunder Mountain, is there anything here?"

Gu Yang frowned. There were no marked resources here, only introductions, and it didn't look like anything special.

"Have you forgotten the 'Nine Thunder Soul Tempering Art' that Elder Han gave us? We haven't been able to find the right thunder and lightning. This place is pretty good." Hu Qing explained.

Gu Yang's eyes lit up. Yes, how could he forget this fighting method? He looked at Lei Mingshan's introduction.

Thunder Mountain, where the powerful force of thunder and lightning is hidden, is a treasure land that many practitioners dream of.

This short sentence contains so much. If it is a treasure land, why is there no resource point sign?

There is only one square stone platform icon on it, and you can't tell what else it is.

"Then let's go over there and take a look. We'll rest tonight and go again early tomorrow morning." Gu Yang made a decision quickly.

Hu Qing nodded, handed the sword on the ground to Gu Yang, and then sat down by the campfire to practice.

Although the concentration of spiritual power in this secret realm cannot catch up with the spiritual energy tide, it is almost close to the level when the spiritual gathering array in the training room is activated.

It was late at night and the only sound was the crackling of the campfire. The cold wind blew through the forest, carrying away the fallen leaves from the trees.

Occasionally it would fall onto the bonfire, causing the flames to surge higher, and the flames would dance on the faces of the two people with their eyes closed.

……

The morning light was dim, and the first ray of sunlight shone on the huge rock above their heads, reflecting the warmth on the faces of Hu Qing and Gu Yang.

They woke up from their training, their bodies still showing signs of fatigue from last night, but their eyes were sparkling with joy.

The cultivation environment here is indeed better than that of the outside world. Both of them have made great progress in their cultivation that night.

The two stood up, stretched their stiff bodies, and prepared to start a new day's journey.

Hu Qing stretched, and his bones made a creaking sound, as if protesting against last night's discomfort.

Gu Yang walked to the campfire, kicked the embers from last night with his feet, and prepared to relight the fire.

They needed breakfast to replenish their energy for the long journey ahead.

While searching for food in the storage ring, Gu Yang accidentally found a rib of a black spirit tiger.

It seems that Wang Fengming and his men still left some meat as supplies.

This rib was placed under the tiger's head. When I saw the tiger's head yesterday, I took it out directly without paying any attention to this rib.

Gu Yang's eyes lit up and he immediately took out the ribs and roasted them on the campfire.

Neither of them had ever tasted the meat of a tiger monster, so they couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"This is a rare opportunity. We have never eaten the meat of a tiger monster."

As Hu Qing spoke, he adjusted the position of the ribs so that the flames could roast them evenly.

Gu Yang nodded, his eyes fell on the ribs, and curiosity appeared in his eyes.

"Last time, we ate that pile of monster meat and it strengthened our physical strength. Then, wouldn't the flesh and blood of this fifth-level black spirit tiger be a great tonic?"

The flames danced on the ribs and the aroma of meat gradually spread.

Their stomachs rumbled involuntarily, and they couldn't wait for the meat to be cooked.

Finally, the surface of the ribs turned golden brown, and the fat dripped into the flames, making a sizzling sound.

Hu Qing couldn't wait to pick up a piece and took a big bite.

However, his expression turned ugly in an instant. The strong smell of tiger meat made him frown.

"This smell..."

Before Hu Qing could finish his words, he was interrupted by a bitter taste in his mouth.

Gu Yang also took a bite, and his expression also became complicated.

The two looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

They had no choice but to throw the ribs aside, take out the dry biscuits again, and start eating them honestly.

Sure enough, not all monster meats are delicious. They would rather not have the enhanced physical strength, but hope to have something good in their mouths.

In this life, the two of them mainly focus on their mouths and stomachs, and it is not in vain to follow them.

After eating, the two packed their luggage and prepared to set off.

Their goal today was Thunder Mountain, which was some distance away from where they were now.

Fortunately, they had a map and didn't have to grope around like headless flies.

Along the way, the two found many traces of harvesting, the herbs were uprooted, and the spirit stone veins were dug into pieces.

From time to time, they could see monks moving through the forest, some alone and some in groups.

The eyes of these monks revealed vigilance and greed, and it was obvious that they all came for the ultimate Lingliu River.

There are no allies here, only enemies.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang didn't want to get into trouble, so they hid when they met cultivators and ran away when they saw monsters.

They were displaced along the way, and not only had to deal with threats from monks, but also had to be on guard against attacks from monsters at all times.

Their nerves were always tense and they dared not relax at all.

The sun gradually rose higher, and the sunlight shone through the treetops and onto them, bringing a touch of warmth.

However, the two were filled with tension and anxiety. The closer they got to Thunder Mountain, the more active the surrounding creatures became, and the greater the danger became.

Finally, before dark, the two arrived at the foot of Thunder Mountain.

They stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up, only to see Thunder Mountain towering into the clouds, with traces of lightning all over the mountain, as if the wrath of the gods had left its mark here.

There was an oppressive atmosphere around Thunder Mountain, and the air was filled with the smell of thunder and lightning.

The two could feel that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was extremely active, and the power of thunder and lightning gathered here, forming a unique environment for cultivation.

Hu Qing took a deep breath. He could feel the power of thunder and lightning here having an inexplicable attraction on his body.

When Gu Yang was looking for the entrance to the mountain, he found a tent roof in the distance.

"Ah Qing, there seems to be someone there, do you want to go over and take a look?"

Hu Qing turned his head and looked in the direction of Gu Yang's finger, and sure enough, he found the tent.

But not just one, but a bunch.

"There are so many tents, it should be a gathering point, let's go take a look."

Seeing that Hu Qing agreed, Gu Yang took out a black robe and mask, disguised Hu Qing's puppet, and took him towards the tent.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang walked through the dense woods and came to this bustling gathering place.

The atmosphere here was completely different from the deserted one they had encountered before, and the air was filled with a lively atmosphere.

The tent area consists of a variety of tents, some are simple, just a cloth canopy held up by a few sticks;

Some are relatively luxurious, built with animal skins and heavy canvas, and even hung with flags of families or sects.

There were crowds of people gathered in front of each tent, some exchanging treasures, some discussing the latest information about Thunder Mountain.

They walked into this temporary market. Fortunately, there were many people in black robes around, so Hu Qing did not stand out.

Their eyes scanned the surroundings, trying to find what they needed.

There are a wide variety of treasures on the market, including herbs that emit a faint spiritual aura, minerals that sparkle with strange light, spiritual weapons that reflect dazzling cold light, and all kinds of strange items that they cannot name.

They slowly moved between the stalls, observing each treasure.

Gu Yang's attention was attracted by a crystal stone emitting a blood-red light. He could feel the blood and flesh energy contained in it, which was obviously a tonic.

Hu Qing became interested in a tattered ancient book with yellowed pages and the words "A Preliminary Exploration of Thunder Method" written in ancient characters on the cover.

The two walked around the market and found many treasures they wanted to buy.

But the only hard currency here is points, and their points are not enough to enter the final Lingliu River.

They looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Ultimately, they gave up the deal and decided to learn more about Thunder Mountain first.

As they walked out of the gathering point, a thin man approached them quietly, with a cunning gleam in his eyes.

"Brothers, do you need any information? I know the latest developments in Thunder Mountain. Just one point can help you avoid detours."

Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked at each other. They knew that in this place full of unknowns, information was often more important than treasures.

After discussing it, the two decided to spend one point to purchase this information.

After all, they still have only a vague understanding of Thunder Mountain.

Seeing that they agreed, the thin man's eyes flashed with pride. He took out a piece of parchment from his arms, with dense handwriting on it.

"This is the latest intelligence, including the terrain of Thunder Mountain, the distribution of thunder beasts, and the location of the Thunder Platform."

The two men took the parchment, and after the thin man took the points, he quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang did not stay for long. They randomly found a big tree, sat down under the tree, and began to look through the information in their hands.

Because of the constant bombardment of lightning on Leiming Mountain, all living things were extinct, but a new monster named "Thunder Beast" was born instead.

Thunder beasts move fast, have high attack power, and often launch sneak attacks on humans. Currently, the highest level of thunder beasts in Thunder Mountain should be level seven.

After killing a thunder beast, it will turn into a thunder ball. Different thunder beasts will explode different thunder balls.

"Thunder Eye" is where the power of thunder and lightning is most concentrated, and there are several metal thunder platforms.

The metal thunder platform can be activated with thunder beads, and fifty thunder beads can be used for one hour.

Thunder beads can also increase points. Absorbing 500 thunder beads can increase one point.

Seeing this, Gu Yang angrily threw the information to the ground. No wonder the skinny monkey ran away after selling it.

One point can be used to practice on the Thunder Platform for ten hours, which is a huge loss.

Fortunately, the information should be true and there is no mistake, otherwise the two of them would really have to turn this gathering point upside down to find that skinny monkey.

The two continued to observe the situation, and the intelligence also mentioned some dangers that needed attention.

For example, falling rocks in Thunder Mountain and some unstable lightning areas.

As they read, they discussed how to deal with these possible problems.
