Chapter 9 Thunderfluorite

Over the next few days, Chu Jun continued to cultivate the Cold Moon Art and take care of his spiritual field. Strangely, Niu Pang , Zhu Chong, and the others hadn't been looking for trouble. Since trouble hadn't come to him, Chu Jun naturally wouldn't come to find trouble and do whatever he had to do.

The ling poppy in the ling field had already fully grown out. Looking at it, one could see that its eyes were full of tender yellow and green, and its growth was very pleasant. After cleaning up the weeds in the spiritual field, Chu Jun carried his sword and mounted his mount, heading out of the city. Back then, he had sold three beast crystals in exchange for three hundred spirit beans. He had bought fifty large swords, two hundred mounts, two spirit worms, and eleven spirit worms. Now, there were few left. If Chu Jun and the mounts didn't get paid again, they would have to drink the northwest wind, so Chu Jun was prepared to leave the city to try his luck.

There was no doubt that a body cultivator with only rank two strength would be courting death if he went out of the city alone to hunt spirit beasts. However, Chu Jun was not the same. It might be difficult to defeat a rank one spirit beast in a head-on battle. However, joining the Snow Leopard Special Warfare Team since childhood had allowed him to cultivate a hunting ability. After Chu Jun rode the grey-feathered crane out of the city, he headed north. The howling heavenly wind blew over, making people feel refreshed. Looking at the boundless mountains and endless dangerous peaks below, Chu Jun couldn't help but recall the scene of himself trekking through them two months ago. It was as if he had lived another life.

After flying northward for nearly two hours, Chu Jun chose a leeward depression and descended. He took out his large sword to clean up the surrounding trees and grass. He built a simple camp and gathered sufficient dry wood for backup. Only then did he begin to set up a trap for hunting spirit beasts. When the sun set, the trap was finally set. Chu Jun returned to the camp and lit a campfire. He began to practice the Cold Moon Art that he had to learn every day.

Tonight, the moon was very round, and the bright moon shone brightly all over the ground. Chu Jun closed his eyes slightly. There seemed to be a sticky force on his body that sucked in the moonlight around him, making him look like a holy sculpture. A hazy halo gradually appeared above his head. A shallow circle was not very obvious.

A graceful figure floated out from between Chu Jun's eyebrows and quietly floated above Chu Jun. The woman looked at Chu Jun with her eyes lowered and eyebrows lowered in surprise. She thought to herself, "It's actually a first-grade moonlight. In just two months, he's about to cultivate into a crescent moon?"

Chu Jun was currently in a mysterious realm. He felt that the Baihui acupoint above his head was dazzling. The dense moonlight continuously spilled in. Threads of cool energy flowed down his meridians, continuously moistening his bloodline muscles, and finally flowed into the Yongquan acupoint on his right foot. Inside the Yongquan acupoint, a curved beam of light seemed to be a faint crescent moon.

Chu Jun was secretly delighted in his heart. It seemed that he would soon be practicing the first layer of the Crescent Moon Art and cultivating the Crescent Moon Physique. The woman in the dream had told him that as long as he cultivated the Crescent Moon Physique, he would be able to lay a solid foundation and use the divine power of the Crescent Moon to expel things. As for why it was called divine power instead of spiritual power, Chu Jun did not understand. In any case, the light-shadow woman called it the power cultivated by the Cold Moon Art.

The bright moon sank to the west, and the faint moonlight above Chu Jun's head slowly dissipated. The moonlight on his body seemed to have dimmed a lot. Chu Jun opened his eyes and felt his entire body comfortable. The sound of flowing water in the distance seemed to become clearer. Under the moonlight, Chu Jun's hands were sparkling white and smooth, as if they were coated with a layer of enamel. Chu Jun's physique had changed every day since he practiced the Cold Moon Technique. Even his originally wheat-colored complexion had turned fair, and he had a tendency to develop towards a pretty face. Moreover, his temperament had also changed a bit, and he had gained a coldness that he had never felt before.

A mournful roar of a beast suddenly resounded, intimidating the mountains. Chu Jun quietly tilted his ears and listened carefully for a while. A smile flashed across the corner of his mouth and he secretly said, "A spirit beast has been trapped!"

Chu Jun picked up the torch, pulled out the big sword from his back, and carefully touched it in the direction of the trap. The trap was surrounded by mechanisms, and even Chu Jun himself had to be careful. When Chu Jun arrived near the trap, he discovered that the surroundings were in a mess. Blood stains were all over the ground, and the mechanism had been activated. It was obvious that it was a very large spirit beast.

Chu Jun came to the side of the trap with his big sword. Five or six thick pieces of wood sealed the trap. Obviously, some goods had already fallen into the trap. Chu Jun held the torch close to the entrance of the cave and looked down through the gap between the woods. He only saw a ball of furry stuff. However, it was indeed very big, and the sound of panting was as heavy as pulling a bellows.

Chu Jun thought about it for a moment, but he still felt that it would be safer to deal with it during the day. Just as Chu Jun was about to turn around and leave, a burst of furious howls resounded from within the trap, followed by a shaking of the surface of the ground. Chu Jun secretly cried out, and he sprinted over ten meters.

Boom! With a loud explosion, a few large woods that were pressing down on the entrance of the cave were sent flying by the powerful force, scattering in all directions.

Chu Jun decisively threw away the torch and fled without stopping. No one knew better than him how powerful the mechanism he had set up was. This spirit beast had triggered all the mechanisms. In the end, it fell into the trap and still had the strength to knock off the huge wood that weighed two to three thousand jin. It could be seen that it was definitely a terribly powerful fellow. It was unwise to provoke such a ferocious beast.

Chu Jun 's decision was clearly correct. The ferocious beast in the trap roared and jumped out. It was a ball of lightning towards the torch on the ground, blasting the nearby vegetation into charcoal.

Divide

The sun rose in the east, and the sky was already bright. Although the light in the forest was still dim, it could clearly see the surroundings. Chu Jun carefully touched the trap with his big sword. The trees in the surroundings had fallen down a lot, and traces of lightning could be seen everywhere. There was even a place where all the vegetation had turned into charcoal. Chu Jun recognized the torch he had used and couldn't help but let out a luck call. Fortunately, he escaped quickly last night, otherwise the hunter would have been hunted back by the prey in the trap.

"Exactly what level of spirit beast is this powerful!" Chu Jun said to himself.

Almost all of the wooden stakes that were as thick as arms in the trap were broken, leaving behind only a pool of blood and some black hair. It could be seen that the spirit beast's defense was extremely shocking. Even if it broke the wooden stakes, it would not be able to kill it.

Chu Jun carefully observed the traces in the surroundings and determined that this spirit beast had suffered at least six injuries. Therefore, he decided to follow the traces on the ground and chase after it. Judging from the strength displayed by this spirit beast, it should be a spirit beast above rank two. A first-grade beast crystal was worth a hundred spirit beans, while a second-grade beast crystal was worth ten times the price. That was a thousand spirit beans. Thinking about it, it was tempting.

This spirit beast's body was quite large, leaving behind obvious traces wherever it passed, so it wasn't difficult to track it down. After walking for about half an hour, Chu Jun arrived at a deep cave entrance. This cave was obviously natural. The cave entrance was very large, and it was surrounded by vines. From time to time, water droplets dripped down from the rocks above, leaving behind an obvious large footprint on the ground.

Chu Jun pondered for a while before retreating tens of meters away from the entrance of the cave. He used the same skill to dig the trap again and set up a tripping lasso. He even tried hard to hang a huge stone weighing more than a hundred kilograms from a tree above the trap. Finally, he tied his sword to a tip of the trap. This time, as long as that ferocious beast fell into the trap, it would definitely be pierced through by the big sword. After setting up the camouflage mechanism, Chu Jun pulled out his military thorn and came to the entrance of the cave. He picked up a large rock and threw it inside. He cried out, "Damn it, come out and die!"

Roar! A muffled thunderous roar came from the cave, followed by the sound of footsteps. A foul breeze came from afar. Chu Jun decisively turned around and ran away. In his hurry, he glanced back and almost fell to the ground.

A black-and-white species pounced out of the cave, looking like a strengthened giant panda. However, this fellow with black circles of eyes was not as docile as a giant panda. His eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire. There were many bloody spots on his body. His right leg was a little limp, but he still ran like flying. This was Lei Wei, a rank 2 spirit beast, and even a Spirit Condensation Immortal Cultivator wouldn't dare to provoke him easily.

Zi! A blue-white arc of lightning shot out from the beast's mouth. Chu Jun felt a gust of wind pouncing from behind him. His hair stood upright, and the skin behind his neck was numb. Fortunately, it was far away, otherwise, this arc would have knocked Chu Jun down.

Roar!

Lei Wei chased after Chu Jun with a breeze under his feet. With a wave of his two sharp claws, he broke the thick tree at the mouth of the bowl. The destructive power was astonishing.

Zi! A bolt of lightning shot out from Lei Wei's mouth once again, heading straight for the back of Chu Jun's head. Chu Jun gritted his teeth and abruptly kicked his right foot. The Yongquan acupoint on the sole of his foot cooled down, and his body actually flew five to six meters away. This truly shocked him.

Seeing Chu Jun suddenly "fly", Lei Wei's footsteps couldn't help but stagnate for a moment. Then, he roared furiously, and a crackling ball of lightning appeared from his throat.

Chu Jun forcefully kicked his right leg and flew another five to six meters forward, landing on the opposite side of the trap. As Lei Wei chased after him, the ball of lightning in his mouth grew larger and larger. Just as it was about to blow Chu Jun into ashes, he stepped on a tripping lasso with his right foot, causing his tall and sturdy body to instantly fall forward.

Hu! The ball of lightning flew straight towards Chu Jun , but it missed its target and exploded two meters to Chu Jun 's right. Chu Jun 's entire body trembled violently as he fell to the ground and disappeared into the blue-white lightning.

With a loud pounding sound, Lei Wei's fat body fell into the trap. The hundred kilograms of boulder fell along with him. Unfortunately, due to the large shaking range, it actually smashed into the edge of the trap and rolled into the trap.

Within the range of the explosive power of the lightning ball, all the vegetation was withered, and a charcoal-like object was emitting green smoke, occasionally releasing a few electric sparks. After a while, the charcoal object moved and struggled to get up.

Chu Jun spat out all the ashes and grass in his mouth. He endured the pain and took off the charred clothes on his body. The charred skin and rotten flesh on his back were drenched in blood.

Chu Jun stood up with lingering fear, picked up the army spikes on the ground, and walked to the edge of the trap to take a look. He saw Lei Wei lying motionlessly at the bottom of the trap, seemingly dead. Chu Jun couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief as he sat on the edge of the trap with his legs aching.

After resting for a while, Chu Jun found a rope and prepared to hang the beast. However, he was shocked to find that the fellow in the trap actually stood up leisurely. Chu Jun was instantly stunned on the spot.

The wooden stakes at the bottom of the trap were all cut off. Lei Wei's chest was stabbed with a broken sword, and fresh blood dripped down the cut. Chu Jun threw down the rope and turned around to run. Lei Wei's sharp claws grabbed onto the wall of the cave. He jumped up with strength on his legs and staggered towards Chu Jun.

Chu Jun panicked and did not choose a path. He actually ran to the entrance of the cave. When he realized that he wanted to turn around, he discovered that the ferocious beast had already limped behind him. Chu Jun did not hesitate any longer and entered the cave with a whoosh.

Roar! The ferocious beast roared angrily as it chased after the cave, vowing to tear this despicable human into pieces before chewing it up and swallowing it.

Whoosh! The two stones carried strong winds as they struck in the darkness. The ferocious beast that had just rushed into the cave entrance was hit in the eye. Its feet slipped and fell forward. After struggling for a few times, it did not move anymore.

Chu Jun , who was hiding in the shadows, threw another two stones over, but the ferocious beast remained motionless.

"Dead?" Chu Jun held the spear and approached the front few meters tentatively.

With the light from outside the cave, the red liquid under the ferocious beast's body was spreading out. The broken sword that had been exposed outside had already pierced into the cave. That was the location of the heart, and it was already dead to the point where it could no longer die.

Chu Jun stabbed Lei Wei's back a few times with his military stab, but he couldn't help but be speechless when he realized that he couldn't pierce through it.

After spending a lot of effort, Chu Jun peeled off Lei Wei's skin and dug out the beast crystals in his body. This beast crystal was deep blue, slightly larger than a first-grade beast crystal, and it felt slightly numb when held in his hand. Chu Jun happily put away the Beast Crystal. This time, even if he suffered some injuries, it was worth it. However, it was a pity that the broadsword that the fifty Immortal Beans had bought was worth it.

Chu Jun treated the wound on his back and put on clean clothes. Only then did he walk towards the depths of the cave with the torch in hand. This fierce beast that could discharge electricity was entrenched here, so there was no guarantee that there would be something good.

When Chu Jun came out of the cave, a blue-purple stone appeared in his hand. Chu Jun washed the stone clean in the stream and placed it under the sun. He noticed that the patterns on it were very special, like dark clouds. Chu Jun remembered that in the darkness just now, this stone could emit a blue-white light. It should be a good thing.

"Brother, where did you get this thunderfluorite ?" An exhausted voice rang out.

Chu Jun raised his head and looked up. He saw a thin youth standing on a stream stone upstream. This fellow was smiling as if he had picked up gold. The thing that left Chu Jun speechless was that this fellow was wearing a belt. From the look of it, it seemed that he had just finished urinating and stuffed the fellow into his trousers. Chu Jun felt a burst of nausea and nausea. Just now, he had washed the stones with the stream water.

The skinny youth nimbly jumped a few times before arriving in front of Chu Jun . He smiled and said, "Lightning fluorite can be used to refine and repair lightning-attributed magic treasures. Why don't you sell it to me? I guarantee you a satisfactory price!"

"Not for sale!" Chu Jun turned around and left.

The skinny youth was stunned for a moment. He lightly jumped up and somersaulted in front of Chu Jun . With a face full of smiles, he said, "Why do you want lightning fluorescent stones alone? Anyway, they are all for sale. Whoever sells them to, just sell them to me. The price is negotiable!"

Chu Jun 's heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself, "Looks like this fellow is a famous Immortal Cultivator. If he tries to rob him, I'm afraid I won't be his match!"

"How is it? Think about it!" The thin youth blinked and smiled.

Chu Jun said indifferently, "How much are you paying … Spirit Beans?"

The thin youth stretched out a finger. Chu Jun frowned and said, "I don't like guessing mute puzzles. Tell me the numbers directly!"

The thin youth almost choked. Originally, this guy wanted to bully Chu Jun, so he stretched out a finger to let him guess. Even if this country bumpkin-like body cultivator didn't dare to open more than a thousand spirit beans, then he would make a lot of money. Unexpectedly, Chu Jun was not fooled and directly asked him to make a bid.

"Cough, a thousand spirit beans!" The skinny young man coughed.

Chu Jun circled around him and continued forward.

"Hey, do you want to sell 10,000 spirit beans?" The youth chased after him and asked.

With this, Chu Jun was even more unwilling to sell it, and he immediately increased the price tenfold. The true value of this thunderfluorite was probably far more than that.

"See you later!" Chu Jun patted the nourishing ring on his waist and jumped onto the back of the crane.

"Hey, don't go … I'll pay 20,000 … Your grandmother's … 30,000 … What's your name, kid? Don't sell the stone to anyone else, keep it for me!" The skinny youth jumped and shouted, but Chu Jun flew far away without turning his head.

"Your grandpa, you really have a personality. Why didn't I snatch it from you just now?" The skinny youth said resentfully.

Chu Jun turned around and saw that the skinny youth had not chased after him. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Following that, he was ecstatic. He didn't expect that this stone would be so valuable. Chu Jun drove his mount back to Five Thunder City and thought about finding someone to inquire about the price of thunderfluorite .
