Chapter 247 - There Are Six More Like Him!
As suggested by its name, the Thunder Breeze Pool contained wind and lightning elemental forces.
It was built by the first sect master of the Thunder Breeze Sect using various heavenly treasures as well as his own spirit energy. After that, he would inject a large amount of wind and lightning elemental forces into it every year until now. This tradition had lived on for more than a thousand years since then.
After the Thunder Breeze Sect disciples advanced to the Supreme Stage, as long as the sect master and the elders agreed, they could enter the Thunder Breeze Pool to cultivate.
However, because there was too much lightning and thunder forces condensed in the Thunder Breeze Pool, it had become extremely dangerous now. If one was careless, one would suffer a backlash and even die inside.
Therefore, the higher-ups of the Thunder Breeze Sect forbade Su Yan from entering the Thunder Breeze Pool to prevent her from getting injured and affecting her foundation.
This time, at the sect meeting, however, Su Yan had defeated a middle-phase Supreme Stage elder in front of many higher-ups with her early-phase Supreme Stage strength. Only then did she finally obtain the permission of the sect master and the elders.
In fact, almost every Martial Dao faction had a place like the Thunder Breeze Pool. For example, the Heaven Amplification Formation of the Archaic Mysteries Sect, the Door of Life and Death of the Profound Yellow Sect, and the Sword Tomb of the Sword Sect.
Even the Xuanyi Mountain Sect had its own Spirit Marrow Lake.
Back when Luo Weiwei became the champion of the Mountain Gate Tournament, she had entered the Spirit Marrow Lake to cultivate.
However, compared to the Four Major Sects, the Spirit Marrow Lake of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect was much more inferior.
"I see."
Qin Jue was suddenly enlightened. Then he smiled and said, "Congratulations, I hope you can break through soon."
Hearing this, Su Yan blushed, not knowing how to answer.
In the end, it was Yun Xi who flew over from the side to break the silence. "Hey, Sister Su Yan. When did you arrive? Did you bring anything nice to eat?"
"???"
Qin Jue remembered that Yun Xi was very hostile towards Su Yan back then. Why was she calling her sister now?
Long Zhan wondered if he was seeing things correctly.
Did Yun Xi change her attitude just because she got treated to a few meals?
Indeed, foodies are unreliable!
You could never know when they would be won over by the fragrance of food.
"Don't worry, Big sister will make it for you later."
Su Yan rubbed Yun Xi's head and smiled.
"Mm, Sister Su Yan is the best!"
Yun Xi pounced into Su Yan's arms and rubbed against… her chest.
Qin Jue :"…"
Qin Jue wondered why what Yun Xi said sounded so familiar.
He quickly realized that was what Yun Xi always said to him.
"What does Senior want to eat?"
"Oh, I don't care."
After thinking for a moment, Qin Jue added, "Sorry to trouble you."
Su Yan covered her mouth and chuckled without saying anything.
…
Three days later, Su Yan entered the Thunder Breeze Pool and temporarily left the Xuanyi Mountain Sect.
Luo Weiwei also cultivated diligently under Luo Xun's arrangements.
On the other hand, the Xuanyi Mountain Sect was operating in an orderly manner as usual. The only difference was that there was no longer the sound of Bai Ye's pill furnace exploding.
It had to be said that ever since Bai Ye entered seclusion, the Xuanyi Mountain Sect had lost a lot of fun and had become somewhat boring.
Qin Jue was undoubtedly still the most leisurely person in the sect. He was waiting for Bai Ye to come out of seclusion so that he could change his identity and visit the White Dragon Race to get himself a mount.
However, this wait lasted for two months.
During this time, Su Yan also never left the Thunder Breeze Pool. She had broken all the records and became the most talented disciple in the history of the Thunder Breeze Sect.
Qin Jue wasn't surprised by this. After all, at their level, any seclusion would take a year and a half, so how could they come out so quickly?
It was even possible for cultivators above the Saint Stage to enter seclusion for a hundred years.
Unknowingly, the weather became colder and colder, and winter gradually arrived.
On this day, Qin Jue got up from the bed and subconsciously looked out the window, only to discover that it was all white outside.
Long Kun was dumbfounded.
Qin Jue frowned and pushed open the door.
Hu -
A cold wind blew in, and many snowflakes hit Qin Jue before quickly melting.
Qin Jue wondered if it was snowing.
Qin Jue raised his eyes and looked over. He saw that the courtyard was covered in silver and white snow.
At the same time, snow continued to fall from the sky, looking exceptionally beautiful.
For a moment, Qin Jue felt relaxed and happy.
"Roar ~"
At this moment, the husky's happy roar and a dull-sounding collision suddenly came from outside.
What was this guy doing?
Qin Jue put on his robe and walked out of the courtyard.
"Roar ~"
In the distance, the husky leaped high and smashed into the snow. It rolled around and revealed a human-like smile. It was very happy.
Due to the special environment of the Black Forest, the forest never experienced any changes throughout the four seasons, so this should be the first time the husky ever saw snow.
Beside the husky, Yun Xi was also playing happily. She used the snow to pile up into various delicacies while drooling…
"…"
Seeing them behave this way, Qin Jue felt speechless.
He started feeling that his job of raising them was simply too hard.
Qin Jue couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Master, you're awake."
Seeing Qin Jue, Yun Xi's eyes lit up. "Let's make food-shaped snow together."
Qin Jue :"…"
Qin Jue wasn't really interested in food.
However, it was rare for him to see snow, so he inadvertently thought of his childhood and started rolling up his sleeves to pile snow with Yun Xi.
Of course, he wasn't shaping the snow to look like food.
"Eh? Master, what are you making?"
Yun Xi was rather curious.
"You'll know later." Qin Jue said meaningfully.
Not long after, a snowman that was half a meter tall and had a gourd on its head appeared in front of Yun Xi. It had a cool posture and looked quite good.
If Long Zhen was here, he would definitely recognize the snow sculpture Qin Jue as the gourd kid from the famous Chinese television show.
"Master, what is this? Can it be eaten?" Yun Xi bit her finger and shook her strand of hair as she asked again.
Qin Jue :"…"
Qin Jue wondered if there was anything else Yun Xi thought about other than food.
"He is called Dawa and he's not edible." Qin Jue rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.
"Gourd kid?"
Hearing the words "not edible", Yun Xi's face immediately drooped and she lost interest.
"…"
"Cough cough, don't underestimate this Dawa. Not only does he have boundless strength, but he can also change the size of his body at will. He's very powerful." Qin Jue explained seriously.
"Really?"
"Of course."
Qin Jue continued, "In addition, there are six others that are just as powerful as him!"
"Wow, so many."
No matter what, Yun Xi was only "one-year-old" and her interest was immediately piqued by Qin Jue's words. "Then what are the other six called?"
"The second one is called Erwa. He is a clairvoyant…"
As Qin Jue spoke, he piled up the appearance of Erwa.
"Third Brother's name is Sanwa. He has a head of bronze and an iron arm. He's invulnerable."
"Siwa can breathe fire…"
"Wuwa…"
Not long after, the seven gourd kids were all piled out by Qin Jue. Then he simply sat cross-legged and told Yun Xi the story of the gourd kids, as well as recalling his childhood.
On the other side, the husky also stopped rolling and was attracted over.
"…"
Then Qin Jue casually told a few more stories, piling up all kinds of strange mythical figures.
In the end, Qin Jue finally recovered.. The entire cliff was already filled with snowmen, and his body was also covered in snowflakes that "dyed" his hair white.
