Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Totally Worth It

“So it is already the fourth day?”

Zong Shou rubbed his forehead, stunned, and sighed. The power of that half-step shake was truly strong. Just one bowl and he was out for three days and three nights.

“So where is my cheap older brother? Where is he now?”

“Mr Lei Dong is still at Fallen Cloud waterfall. After Young Master got drunk, the next day we moved and rushed for Cloud Saint City.”

Chuxue shook his head. Who knows what good things Lei Dong gave her, she was filled with respect and worship for him. She explained, “Mr Lei Dong says that he didn’t purposely hide the half-step shake thing from you, because it was good for you and you needed to drink a big bowl of it. Also he has something going and couldn’t follow us. Those other people, he will block them for us. The City Lord of Cloud Saint City has some relation to him, so while we are there Young Master will be safe. He also said that you two will have time to meet up in the future and there’s no need to be rushed now…”

“Good for me?”

Zong Shou furrowed his eyebrows, relaxing and looking around his body. He was instantly stunned. His bones and marrow felt like a warm heater, the last bit of cold ying energy was removed; it was obvious that he had succeeded in training his marrow. Apart from that, his body qualities had greatly improved, especially his bones had became much stronger.

He punched out strongly, and could clearly feel that his strength was a full thirty percent stronger than before he fainted.

The conflicts between his two meridians had also lessened a lot!.

His thoughts changed and he knew that that bowl of half-step shake wasn’t just wine. It helped to improve one’s body qualities and one’s cultivation!

That wine, which was close to Celestial brews, each drop was worth hundreds of gold. A bowl of the wine itself was worth at least several dozen days of cultivation.

A look of gratitude flashed across his eyes, but Zong Shou coldly scoffed, “So he made me drunk? I still need to be grateful to him and owe him a favor?”

“Mr Lei Dong said that Young Master would say that!” Chuxue burst out laughing, her eyes lighting up, “He also said that Young Master is one of the most compatible people he has met in these few years. How weird, he only met you for a day and he didn’t say much to you, but he seems so certain of your personality. However, Young Master is really amazing. Uncle Yin said that Mr Lei Dong is a peak Ascended expert and among the top experts in our Cloud World, once shocking the Central Continent. For Young Master to actually become brothers with him, it is so unbelievable. With this person protecting you, there will be no one in Gantian Mountain who can touch you…”

Zong Shou’s brow furrowed. To be protected under the wings of someone else wasn’t something to be happy about.

As Chuxue said that, she felt a little self-annoyed, “It’s all my fault for talking too much. If Young Master wasn’t skilled, I would have caused a disaster.”

When he heard that, Zong Shou couldn’t help but laugh. His five fingers combined into a sword hand palm and he lightly knocked her head as sort of a punishment.

“Good that you know, just pay attention next time. The Cloud World has simply too many strong people, and each word spoken might attract problems.”

While he lectured her, Zong Shou lost focus, as he was thinking about something else. Since they had set out three days ago, they should only be half a day away from Cloud Saint City.

That meant they were inches away from that place…

——

Still at that Fallen Cloud Waterfall, Lei Dong sat on that lake, quiet and not moving.

There was a giant cut on the Mingjing Mountain, not far away. In the river close by, the blade marks were filled up by the water. However the scenery was still really beautiful, adding a bit of fragmentary beauty.

Lei Dong wasn’t looking at the scenery, but instead at a giant rock. Apart from the blade marks he’d left, there was the sword mark left by Zong Shou’s sword.

The former he felt to be a total eyesore and he couldn’t bear to look at it. All his attention was focused on the latter; at that sword mark that didn’t look like anything.

“Damn it! There are actually such talents in the world. He is only at the Martial Master Realm and only at the sword rhythm level, but why do I feel that my brother’s martial path is more deep and indiscernible than mine? The sword intent within is the exact same as my Mountain and River blade intent!”

Sighing, Lei Dong waved his hand and a blade appeared in his hand. It was greenish-purple, a strong intent instilled within.

“Three days of comprehension and the strength of my blade intent rose by ten percent. If others knew that I, Lei Dong, was actually inspired by a thirteen-year old Martial Master, they would probably laugh themselves to death!”

He grinned as he mocked himself, but there wasn’t much worry on his face. Instead, he was filled with happiness.

“Ruo Tao, Ruo Tao! Three years from now, I will show you!”

Coincidentally, a sozen black-shirted servants carried a hundred foot long object over. That thing was covered by a huge red cloth, its shape indistinct.

A black-shirted old man respectfully bowed, “Sire, the thing you wanted has been obtained.”

Lei Dong’s eyes lit up, his sleeve shaking, and the red cloth was swept off, revealing what was underneath.

It was a giant saber’s blade. It seemed almost insubstantial, but it was really heavy. Lei Dong called out with his hand and it flew through the air, fixing itself into the hundred-foot giant blade.

He heard a light Kacha, the designed mechanism locked tightly. His blade had increased to a hundred and fifty feet, an overbearing aura overflowing from it. The blade intent and spiritual energy didn’t show any decrease.

Lei Dong casually waved the blade, like how one used a sewing needle, light and simple.

“Not bad, not bad! Although it still is a little light, I can barely use it for a period of time. However it’s better if I craft the next blade set sooner.”

His face was satisfied as he put down the blade in his hand. Seeing that, the black-shirted man hesitated before finally bowing and asking, “Sire I heard that three days ago you became sworn brothers with the Gantian Mountain Prince. Is that action a little too much? I heard that Zong Shou is a piece of trash that can’t cultivate. Master is an Ascended expert, to interfere in the Donglin Cloud Continent is a little inappropriate..”

“Trash? He has such ability, how would he be trash?”

Lei Dong scoffed coldly. “So what if he is trash? I have recognized him as my brother. It’s nice that you are back, make a trip to Cloud Saint City and help me take care of him. Although my brother has a few Xiantian experts protecting him, they should be from Zong Weiran. I am guessing these people wouldn’t be able to protect him for long.”

That black-shirted old man was speechless. After smiling awkwardly, he didn’t try to persuade his master otherwise, and changed the topic. “Let’s not talking about the sworn brother matter, sire has been too generous recently. One carriage, one Grade Two beast crystal. As a martial Ancestor you can’t sustain such usage. You don’t have to bother about those small fries.”

“You are asking me to use strength to convince them?”

Lei Dong gave an ironic smile, “My father had a sentence for me that was right. If you could use money to do something, why would you use strength to suppress it? You don’t bring any superficial things when you came into life, and you can’t bring them away when you die, so why care so much? When I do things, although I use my heart, it’s best if others are totally happy. Although I do not fear them, why should I make enemies with them?”

The black-shirted old man was speechless once more, thinking that even if he wanted to use money to persuade people, he didn’t need to give twenty thousand silver to one carriage. Lei Dong just looked at that rock with a wide smile.

“Furthermore, this time we didn’t lose out. Instead we earned! We earned a huge amount!”
