Chapter 1794 - 253: Harvesting Blood Ganoderma
With his order, the group of underlings behind him rushed toward Lei Ming like hungry wolves, waving their weapons.
Lei Ming was taken aback and quickly drew his Thunderclap Sword to engage in battle.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The battle was on the brink of erupting, both sides fighting fiercely.
However, ultimately, because the underlings were of a lower Realm, they began to falter as the battle continued.
The leader, realizing that his underlings could not defeat Lei Ming of the High Immortal Second Realm, commanded two brothers of the same Realm to aid them in taking Lei Ming down.
With the two High Immortal Second Realm cultivators joining the fray, the situation quickly turned.
Lei Ming ceased to hide his strength, unleashing the Thunder Technique Profound Mysteries, striking out Thunder Sword Qi.
"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"
In an instant, a swath of underlings fell dead, and the two High Immortal Second Realm cultivators were severely injured.
"Thunder Sword Qi, this kid can actually unleash Thunder Sword Qi. Could he be a cultivator from the Kingdom of Leizhen?"
The leader was somewhat surprised, but now he needed to strike for revenge for his fallen underlings.
He stomped the ground, leaping from his mount, then drew his sword and charged at Lei Ming.
"High Immortal Third Realm!"
Lei Ming's heart trembled, and he quickly raised his sword to defend.
The leader of these brazen bandits turned out to be a High Immortal Third Realm cultivator. It seemed today would be a fierce battle.
Fortunately, this leader of High Immortal Third Realm was unable to fight across levels.
Even so, it was tough for Lei Ming, and if it continued, Lei Ming might be defeated.
Lin Yifan had not acted throughout, as this was an invaluable training experience for Lei Ming. Lei Ming needed to take the opportunity to train himself and understand the harshness of this world.
The unconventional rules of the jungle honestly dealt a blow to the kind-hearted Lei Ming. However, he wouldn't bow down; he would drive away these bandits and claim his Blood Ganoderma.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Fierce Sword Qi relentlessly rampaged through the forest, cutting down towering trees.
The bandit leader was astonished by Lei Ming's strength; the kid had mastered the Thunder Technique Profound Mysteries, integrating them into an exceptional swordsmanship and was fighting him to a draw.
Still, a single Thunder Technique Profound Mysteries was insufficient to challenge him.
Thus he executed dual martial arts, ceaselessly changing techniques and aggressively charging at Lei Ming.
Lei Ming felt unprecedented pressure, gradually struggling.
Seeing the situation, Lin Yifan had no choice but to calmly command: "Liangmen Three Sections, Shencang Four Divisions, Jianzhen One Inch."
"Gumen Half a Foot, Waiqiu One Finger."
"Sun One Sword, Tiantu Horizontal Three."
...
Following Lin Yifan's instructions, Lei Ming fought more and more vigorously and effortlessly.
The bandit leader was shocked by Lei Ming's ally.
This person hadn't acted altogether but could discern his martial arts' flaws. Observing the situation, he was likely a big shot.
He reckoned he had hit a hard wall today, so he quickly retreated, no longer lingering in battle.
Once the leader fled, the other underlings naturally dared not linger either and quickly fled.
Witnessing the bandits fleeing in disarray, Lei Ming, out of a merciful heart, did not pursue them to the death.
Stowing his sword, he approached Lin Yifan and inquired, "Brother Lin, how did you know the bandit's martial arts flaws?"
"Experience tells, naturally. Train more, and someday you will too," Lin Yifan didn't speak much because there wasn't much to say. It depends on one's own summarization.
"Training can also enhance this ability, huh? It seems more training is beneficial!" Lei Ming mused.
"Have you seen any big shot who didn't crawl out from a heap of corpses?" Lin Yifan retorted.
"Indeed, indeed, even my father ascended to the throne of the Kingdom of Leizhen after enduring battle after battle."
Lei Ming's thoughts were liberated and nourished, becoming more willing to accept external events and cruel trials.
"Go and pick the Blood Ganoderma!"
Without a word, Lei Ming immediately went to pick the Blood Ganoderma from the decayed wood.
Just as he intended to pocket it, Lin Yifan called out, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing."
"Didn't Brother Lin say that harvesting spoils provides motivation for training? I'm harvesting my spoils now?" Lei Ming looked confused, unsure why Lin Yifan stopped him.
Lin Yifan was slightly embarrassed, but to obtain the Blood Ganoderma, he shamelessly said, "Was the fight won by your own abilities or with external help?"
"External help," Lei Ming replied without hesitation.
"That's settled; since external help was needed, naturally the spoils should go to the one who assisted, thus enhancing your moral character and temperament," Lin Yifan explained logically.
"Makes sense," Lei Ming pondered and then handed the Blood Ganoderma to Lin Yifan.
Lin Yifan gleefully pocketed the Blood Ganoderma.
The Blood Ganoderma is a rare herb, extremely useful for refining certain supplement elixirs. Since Lei Ming isn't an Alchemist, giving it to him is pointless, better to keep it for himself.
Clearing the battlefield, the two continued their journey.
A day later, they finally arrived at the border of Great You Country.
As they stepped into the border town, they finally felt a rich cultural atmosphere.
Lei Ming had had enough of forest life, thus upon entering the town, he swore to enjoy civilized life properly.
Arriving at the most renowned local tavern, he ordered exquisite delicacies without worrying.
"What! Ordering such expensive dishes, I can't pay," Lin Yifan folded his arms, acting detached.
"No need for Brother Lin to pay, I'll cover it," Lei Ming assured, easing Lin Yifan's concerns.
In truth, he didn't believe Lin Yifan couldn't afford the meal, for no cultivator is poor, especially one whose strength exceeds Lei Ming's.
The delicacies soon arrived, and the two indulged heartily, savoring each bite.
Mid-meal, they overheard conversations about the Sword Gathering on Tianhua Mountain, so they listened attentively.
"The Sword Gathering on Tianhua Mountain is imminent, and various heroes have begun gathering around Tianhua Mountain."
"It will be a swordsmanship feast, showcasing the daunting talents of the young generation."
"I guess our Great You Country Second Prince is most likely to win the championship."
"The Sword Gathering doesn't measure Realm, it depends on Sword Technique Profound Mysteries; whoever's technique is superior will win first place."
"Regarding Sword Technique Profound Mysteries, I think Hongshan Sect's Feng Shengfeng is impressive."
"This person's swordsmanship is exceptional, reaching Immortal Level Two Stars, rare for someone in the High Immortal Realm."
"Indeed, indeed!"
...
"Immortal Level Two Stars, it seems this Tianhua Mountain Sword Gathering will host numerous experts!" Lei Ming couldn't help but exclaim, then asked, "Brother Lin, can you win?"
"Do you think this High Immortal First Realm cultivator can fight against High Immortal Fifth Realm cultivators?" Lin Yifan retorted, the answer was clear.
