Chapter 251 Crystal Marrow and Golden Threads, Lei Yun's Cooperation

Chapter 251 Crystal Marrow and Golden Threads, Lei Yun's Cooperation

"Brother Ji, you jest. Achieving the fourth rank is not so easy."

Chen Yi's tone carried a hint of self-deprecation, "If that day ever comes, I will simply switch allegiance to the Ji family and live quietly under Brother Ji's protection. It's better than facing the risks alone outside."

"Brother Chen, you are just a rogue cultivator. Sometimes I don't even know whether I should hope that you will reach that level."

Ji Wuchen shook his head slightly, his tone somewhat complicated, "At that level, the battles will only be more brutal, far more intense than they are now."

He said no more, and waved his hand: "That's enough, I'll take my leave now."

Whether this matter succeeds or fails in the end, I, Ji, will keep it a secret for Brother Chen and try my best to keep the fact that you can already refine near-fourth-tier thunder brew a secret for a few more years.

Brother Chen, you should also make more preparations and deal with possible changes in advance.

"Thank you, Brother Ji."

Chen Yi nodded slightly. He naturally understood and remembered the genuine concern in Ji Wuchen's words.

Then, Ji Wuchen made a vow in front of Chen Yi, explaining the agreement to split 15% of the secret realm's harvest, and promising never to reveal Chen Yi's skill level in thunder brewing, which reassured Chen Yi.

Afterwards, he left Chen Yi's cave and departed with True Person Yun Tian. Yun Tian already knew that this trip would not achieve its purpose and was unwilling to stay here and cause further embarrassment. He also had no reason to rely on his physical body to stay in the Star Moon Sect and wait to protect Yue Qingqiu's Nascent Soul formation.

Qiu Li, however, remained at the Star Moon Sect. She was waiting for the sect to send over the materials for refining Thunder Brew, and for Chen Yi to finish refining it before she would leave.

After obtaining the Nascent Soul Pill, Yue Qingqiu immediately began her final closed-door cultivation before forming her Nascent Soul.

She knew that the process of forming a baby could not be taken lightly: in addition to adjusting her spiritual consciousness, magical power, and physical body to their best state, her mental state at the time of forming the baby must also be properly adjusted.

If there is a flaw in one's mind, it is highly likely that, like Hirahoshino, one will be found by the extraterrestrial demons during the tribulation of inner demons, ultimately failing at the last hurdle.

.

After waiting for half a month, Chen Yi finally received the agreed-upon ingredients for the Thunder Brewing from the sect disciple sent by Qiu Li: three drops of the essence blood of a fourth-tier Thunder Pattern Beast and three drops of spiritual liquid containing the spiritual energy of ten thousand years of ancient thunder.

Each drop of spiritual liquid contains a faint trace of golden lightning spirit essence. Although it is not as pure as the golden lightning spirit essence obtained in the fourth-level lightning pool of the Lightning Peak, if dozens of drops can be accumulated, it can achieve a similar effect.

However, Chen Yi did not intend to directly devour the spiritual energy within these spiritual liquids.

He plans to use these materials as a basis to refine a fourth-tier [Thunder Brew Spirit Essence], and then use the Thunder Brew Spirit Essence to assist in the cultivation of his own Thunder Crystal Marrow.

When he previously observed the ethereal fairy's silver-red crystal marrow, he discovered that its quality was far more than just "a hundred strands of crystal cores gathered together".

It's that simple; the Dao essence contained within the crystal marrow itself is also extremely rich.

This made him realize that there are two key directions in the cultivation of crystal marrow: one is the quality of the Dao essence contained in the crystal marrow itself, and the other is the basic quantity of accumulated strands of energy.

Chen Yi silently kept these two directions in mind and prepared to improve the quality of his Thunder Crystal Essence from these two aspects.

As for the Thunder Brew that Qiu Li requested to be customized, which leans towards comprehension, Chen Yi already had a plan in mind. He only needed to use some scraps of materials she sent, along with a small amount of materials he had stored up, to refine two or three batches without having to use any core resources.

Three months later.

A clear cry came from the spirit pet's residence in Chen Yi's cave. The Crimson Soul Sparrow flapped its wings and emerged, its flame-like feathers radiating an even richer spiritual light. It had successfully emerged from seclusion, and its cultivation had reached the peak of the mid-stage of the third rank, just one step away from breaking through to the late stage of the third rank.

Chen Yi reached out his hand, and the Crimson Soul Sparrow obediently landed on his shoulder. His fingertips glowed with a faint blue magical power as he gently brushed the sparrow's feathers, carefully sensing its cultivation status. He quickly analyzed the reason why it had not broken through: First, the Crimson Soul Sparrow had fewer opportunities in the past than the Treasure-Seeking Rat, and its foundation was slightly insufficient.

Secondly, the red eagle it had previously devoured was far inferior to the Earth-Fire Fiery Bear that the Treasure-Seeking Rat had devoured, both in terms of bloodline quality and cultivation foundation, resulting in a lack of assistance in its breakthrough.

Fortunately, after swallowing the Red Eagle, the Crimson Soul Sparrow's fire control and flight speed improved significantly, so it can be considered to have gained something.

"Don't be discouraged. If the opportunity arises in the future, there will still be a chance for a breakthrough."

Chen Yi gently comforted her, taking out several high-quality beast pills from his storage bag and handing them to the Crimson Soul Sparrow's beak. "Take these first to consolidate your cultivation and accumulate strength. Patiently wait for the opportunity to break through next."

Watching the Crimson Soul Sparrow lower its head to peck at the beast pill, Chen Yi secretly pondered: Now that the Crimson Soul Sparrow and the Treasure-Seeking Rat have both reached a certain level of cultivation, it's time to let them try to go out on their own to seek opportunities.

Two more months passed.

With the agreed-upon time to refine Thunder Brew with Qiu Li fast approaching, Chen Yi took out a communication jade slip and sent a message towards Moon Peak.

In less than a hundred breaths, a bolt of purple lightning shot out from the direction of Moon Peak, dozens of miles away, at an extremely fast speed.

The lightning flashed and shifted several times above the star peak, landing precisely outside the reception hall of Chen Yi's cave. As the lightning sparks gradually dissipated, a tall and beautiful figure appeared from within.

Qiu Li wore a Thunder Spirit Daoist robe, with fine silver lightning arcs embroidered on the hem. Her long black hair was tied up with a lightning-patterned jade hairpin, revealing her slender and fair neck. Both her figure and appearance were top-notch. She was also surrounded by a faint Thunder Spirit aura, showing the dashing demeanor of a Thunder Sect prodigy.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu's lightning escape skills are becoming more and more refined."

Chen Yi smiled and stood up, gesturing for Hu Mingyue to come forward and pour tea.

Although Qiu Li was eager to see the finished product of Lei Niang, he did not lose the composure of a cultivator and did not directly mention the important matter.

Her gaze swept lightly over Hu Mingyue, who had brought out the tea. Seeing that the girl had delicate features and a pure soul without any impurities, she smiled faintly and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen is living a very comfortable life. Even the maidservant serving you has an exceptionally pure soul."

As soon as the words fell, a voice transmission tinged with resentment quietly entered Chen Yi's mind:

[While you're enjoying a peaceful life surrounded by beautiful women, Chengcheng is suffering terribly in Qi, still remaining chaste for you. Humph!]

Faced with such teasing and veiled accusations, Chen Yi simply picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and maintained a calm smile on his face without giving any reply.

Once only Chen Yi and Qiu Li remained in the hall, Qiu Li put down her teacup and said directly, "Fellow Daoist Chen, you surely didn't call me here just for tea, did you?"

Seeing that Qiu Li was unwilling to engage in further pleasantries, Chen Yi stopped being mysterious. He reached into his storage bag and took out a translucent white porcelain bottle. A faint blue magical power emanated from his fingertips as he sent the bottle out of the air, steadily handing it to Qiu Li: "A high-grade, third-tier [Enlightenment Thunder Brew]."

The refining process was not smooth; it failed twice before finally succeeding on the third attempt, thus fulfilling Fairy Qiu's request.

"May I take a look first and see if it suits your needs?"

Qiu Li's pretty face straightened, her expression instantly becoming serious. She took the porcelain bottle with both hands, her fingertips exerting a little force as she impatiently unscrewed a corner of the stopper, sending a wisp of divine sense into the bottle to examine it carefully.

In just a few breaths, the seriousness on her face melted away like ice and snow, and her eyes lit up with undisguised joy. Even her breathing became a few steps faster than before. The spiritual energy fluctuations and Dao essence concentration of the Thunder Brew in the bottle far exceeded her expectations.

Chen Yi held his teacup, took a sip silently, his gaze fixed on Qiu Li's face, and thought to himself:

When this girl isn't fierce, she's actually quite pretty; it's just that she always has a sharp edge to her personality.

Of course, he had no other thoughts about Qiu Li. Women who constantly watched how many women were around him were never his type.

The next moment, Qiu Li suddenly stood up, her body instantly enveloped in pale purple lightning, her tone tinged with urgency: "Fellow Daoist Chen, I'll go back and test the effects of the lightning brew, and give you an answer in a few days!"

Before she finished speaking, her figure transformed into a bolt of lightning and fled straight out of the hall.

Chen Yi used his divine sense to perceive that the bolt of lightning was flying at high speed toward the temporary guest room cave on Moon Peak, and disappeared from sight in an instant.

He shook his head slightly, not taking it to heart, and turned to walk towards the inner chamber of the cave.

Back in the inner chambers of the body-refining room, Chen Yi took out a bottle of fourth-tier [Thunder Brewed Spirit Essence], uncorked it, and a rich burst of thunder-elemental spiritual energy instantly spread out.

He sat cross-legged, circulated the power of his internal system, and held the bottle opening to his brow, beginning to absorb the Thunder Spirit Dao Essence within the bottle little by little, in order to enhance the pale gold ancient thunder Dao Essence contained in the two thunder crystal marrows.

As time went by, Chen Yi could clearly sense that a faint golden thread gradually emerged inside the two Thunder Crystal Marrows, as if fragments of gold were mixed into the thunder threads.

With the appearance of golden threads, the quality of the Thunder Crystal Marrow has been significantly improved. As a result, the divine sense planted in the crystal marrow has become much clearer in its perception of the Thunder Spirit Power wandering in the world. The subtle lightning patterns that used to require concentration to detect can now be easily captured.

"The fourth-tier Thunder Essence, refined using thunder liquid imbued with the true essence of ten thousand years of thunder spirit, is indeed effective!"

Chen Yi opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face. He thought to himself, "Thank you for the gift, Fairy Qiu."

He put away the empty porcelain bottle, closed his eyes again, and continued to circulate his cultivation technique to consolidate the enhancement effect of the Thunder Crystal Marrow, striving to completely stabilize this progress.

On the other side, atop Moon Peak, inside Qiu Li's temporary cave dwelling.

As soon as he returned to his cave, Qiu Li couldn't wait to take out the bottle of Enlightenment Thunder Brew, uncork it, and take a sip.

The moment the medicine entered her throat, a surge of pure lightning spiritual power slid down her throat into her body. Immediately afterward, she felt her body begin to uncontrollably "transform into lightning spirit," her skin glowing with faint lightning, and countless tiny arcs of lightning seemed to flow through her meridians. Even her breath carried the aura of lightning spiritual energy.

Even more miraculously, an indescribable sense of perception suddenly awakened in her mind.

The previously vague understanding, dull perception, and obscure operating rules of the power of thunder spirits have now become as clear as if the clouds have parted and the sun has risen, and the overall understanding has directly risen to a new level!

In that instant, countless insights surged into Qiu Li's heart. The bottlenecks that had hindered his cultivation in the past and the difficult-to-understand details of the techniques all found their answers at this moment.

She subconsciously sat down cross-legged and fully activated the Thundercloud Technique she was cultivating. The previously blocked meridians were now flowing smoothly like a gazelle hanging its horns, and the speed at which the Thunder Spirit power circulated in the meridians was several times faster than before.

In just a few dozen breaths, she successfully completed a full cycle of energy circulation.

Looking inward, Qiu Li clearly discovered that the quality of the thunder spirit magic power within her body had significantly improved. The magic power, which was originally somewhat mixed, had become more refined and condensed, and even her aura had become more stable.

As the effects of the thunder brew gradually subsided, Qiu Li slowly opened her eyes, her face beaming with an unstoppable smile of surprise. Her radiant smile would have astonished any outsider who saw her, making it difficult to reconcile her current appearance with that of the decisive and ruthless prodigy of the Thunder Sect.

She looked down at the porcelain bottle, which was still more than half full, her eyes filled with shock: "This thing is so magical! In such a short time, it has been able to raise my Thunder Spirit talent to another level."

It should be noted that Qiu Li already possesses a Thunder Spirit Root and an Innate Treasure Body, meaning her talent is already at a top level.

However, when she consumed the Thunder Brew just now, she briefly touched the threshold of the "Dao Body". Her control over the thunder spirit power in the world and within her body directly leaped to a new level. This improvement far exceeded her expectations.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qiu Li drank all the remaining Thunder Brew in the bottle, then set up a simple isolation formation and began a short period of seclusion to fully digest the benefits brought by the Thunder Brew.

Half an hour later, the formation within the cave dissipated, and Qiu Li slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a long breath of turbid air containing the aura of thunder spirit. His eyes were filled with emotion: "The quality of my thunder spirit mana has actually increased by a whole level! More importantly, this item can even slightly increase my chances of forming a Nascent Soul!"

She pondered carefully, and the more she thought about it, the more precious this Thunder Brew seemed: "Most other Nascent Soul spiritual objects provide assistance during the Nascent Soul formation process, such as resisting inner demons and stabilizing the Nascent Soul. But this Thunder Brew can fundamentally improve the quality of basic magic power, allowing cultivators to have a more solid foundation before forming their Nascent Soul."

For us lightning cultivators, its usefulness is probably even greater than that of ordinary Nascent Soul stage spirit objects!

Qiu Li was filled with deep emotion, but his thoughts were already racing as he began to consider how to maximize the benefits of this enlightenment thunder for the sect and for himself.

We can't just kidnap Chen Yi and bring him back to the sect, lock him up, and use him to refine this Thunder Brew, can we?

If that were the case, what difference would there be between us and heretical practitioners? Absolutely not.

She secretly rejected the extreme idea, thinking, "I need to get along with him first, slowly explore cooperation, and find a way to set a price for long-term supply."

If all else fails—perhaps we could try to win him over and make him a guest elder of the sect?

This kid seems to be quite lecherous...

Thinking of this, Qiu Li's expression shifted slightly, and various plans kept popping into her mind as she weighed the pros and cons repeatedly.

Half a day later, Qiu Li reappeared in the reception hall of Chen Yi's outer mansion.

This time, she waited in the hall for a long time before Chen Yi slowly walked out of the inner palace.

"Fairy Qiu, why are you here again so soon? How was the effect of that Thunder Brew?"

Chen Yi stepped forward, his tone calm and casual.

When Qiu Li saw Chen Yi come out, she immediately stood up from her seat, forcing out what she thought was a sweet smile on her face, and her tone softened considerably: "Fellow Daoist Chen, don't worry, I will take good care of Chengcheng. I will also keep your affairs among the women of the Star Moon Sect a secret and will never let outsiders know."

Qiu Li's ingratiating smile felt utterly unfamiliar to Chen Yi. He instinctively took a step back and asked, "Fairy Qiu... what exactly do you mean?"

"Oh————" Qiu Li paused for a moment, then forced a smile, her tone somewhat tentative: "The Enlightenment Thunder Brew refined by Fellow Daoist Chen is very effective, far exceeding my expectations."

Hehe, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chen could reduce the cost of materials if he refines more?

We could perhaps discuss a long-term partnership.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi immediately understood. It seemed that the Thunder Brew he had refined must have had a significant effect on Qiu Li, otherwise she wouldn't have taken such the initiative to show goodwill and even propose a long-term cooperation.

In this way, the initiative is in your own hands.

Chen Yi slowly walked to the main seat, sat down, picked up the spiritual tea on the table, and took a sip.

Qiu Li remained standing still, her body slightly turning in the direction Chen Yi moved, her eyes fixed on him, afraid of missing any of his reactions.

After finishing his tea, Chen Yi slowly spoke, his tone slightly teasing: "Fairy Qiu, it makes me feel more at ease if you maintain your usual aloof demeanor."

This deliberate attempt at gentleness only makes the situation seem more distant.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Li immediately wiped the smile off her face, straightened her expression again, and reverted to her usual icy beauty demeanor.

This time, however, she looked at Chen Yi and couldn't bring herself to say those words she had used before, mocking him and speaking up for her best friend. After all, the person in front of her possessed a key treasure that could greatly increase her chances of forming a Nascent Soul.

Chengcheng, it's not that your sister betrayed you, just bear with it for now.

Qiu Li silently apologized to her best friend in her heart, [Once I've thoroughly figured out his thunder brewing technique and finalized a long-term cooperation plan, I'll help you "teach him a lesson" later. At that time, I'll still be on your side.]

"Fairy Qiu, are you planning to order a large quantity of this [Enlightenment Thunder Brew]?"

Chen Yi put down his teacup, his tone calm, and his gaze fell on Qiu Li, quietly waiting for her reply.

Qiu Li sat down as well, tapping her fingers lightly on the table as she pondered, "It's not really a matter of ordering in large quantities, after all, the materials needed for refining are too precious. Even our sect's two sacred beasts can't withstand the frequent supply of their essence blood. However, if possible, ordering one bottle a year is something the sect can afford."

She changed the subject, her tone somewhat tentative: "Of course, if Fellow Daoist Chen can reduce the amount of fourth-order thunder beast essence blood required for each bottle of thunder brew to 2 drops, I will grit my teeth and discuss it with the sect again to see if we can order two bottles every year."

[At worst, we can temporarily weaken the sect's sacred beasts, and then find more high-grade spiritual herbs to make up for it later. As long as we can obtain the Enlightenment Thunder Brew, this sacrifice is worthwhile.]

Qiu Li silently added a sentence in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi gently stroked the rim of the cup with his fingertips, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Two drops of Thunder Beast essence blood—it's not impossible to study and adjust them."

However, if the amount of Thunder Beast essence blood used is reduced, the amount of Thunder Liquid containing the true essence of a ten-thousand-year-old Thunder Spirit needs to be increased to 4.

One drop.

With this balance of power, the overall value of the materials is basically balanced, and I can try to continue my research on refining them. What do you think, Fairy Qiu?

"make a deal!"

Qiu Li agreed almost without hesitation.

Although further negotiations with the sacred beast were needed, she knew that the sect still had a considerable amount of the Ten-Thousand-Year Thunder Pool in stock. As long as she informed her master of the amazing effects of the Enlightenment Thunder Brew, her master would surely agree. After all, this Thunder Brew could significantly enhance the strength of the sect's geniuses and would greatly benefit the sect's long-term development.

After finalizing the details of the cooperation, Qiu Li changed the subject and became serious: "Fellow Daoist Chen, have you ever considered switching to another sect?"

With your lightning brewing skills and lightning cultivation talent, you are actually more suited to a sect like ours that specializes in lightning magic.

She paused, then analyzed further: "Moreover, if I understand correctly, the effect of your [Enlightenment Thunder Brewing] has already exceeded the mainstream scope of thunder brewing techniques."

Even in the Ji family, with its deep-rooted tradition of thunder brewing, it seems that in the last hundred years, no thunder brewing of your kind, which specializes in enhancing comprehension, has ever been produced.

At this point, Qiu Li's eyes became more earnest: "Actually, with your current abilities, staying in this small Star Moon Sect is somewhat dangerous."

Now that Ji Wuchen is helping you shield yourself from the pressure from the Ji family, things are peaceful for the time being.

However, if something goes wrong with Ji Wuchen, the Ji family might very well try to seize your Thunder Brewing technique for themselves.

"At that time, your small sect, which has no Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, won't even be able to stop one of the outer sect protectors of the Ji family."

"As for my Thundercloud Sect, we have two Nascent Soul stage experts overseeing this matter. As long as we don't actively alert the Ji family head, with the strength of the Thundercloud Sect, we can completely protect you and allow you to refine Thunder Brew in peace without worrying about being coveted by other forces."

Qiu Li spoke to Chen Yi with reason and logic, pointing out the risks of staying in the Star Moon Sect, and persuaded him to return to the Thunder Cloud Sect with her.

Chen Yi simply smiled faintly and slowly shook his head: "I appreciate Fairy Qiu's kindness."

More than twenty years ago, when I first arrived in Zhongzhou, I signed a spiritual contract with the Xingyue Sect, agreeing that I would never leave the Xingyue Sect until I reached the late stage of Core Formation.

This matter was already settled, and I, Chen, have always kept my word; I fear I will have to disappoint the fairy's kindness.

Qiu Li frowned slightly, her tone tinged with confusion: "Fellow Daoist Chen, are you worried about the backlash from the spirit contract?"

"The Star Moon Sect doesn't even have a Nascent Soul cultivator. A mere spirit contract is something my Thunder Cloud Sect can easily negotiate to have the Star Moon Sect terminate the contract themselves. You will not be affected in any way."

"It's not as simple as just terminating the contract."

Chen Yi shook his head again, his tone somewhat solemn, "The causes and effects of the world are complex and difficult to understand. The cause of 'leaving a legacy' was planted back then, and the result of 'fulfilling the promise' should be borne in the future."

If we force a change, it will inevitably trigger unknown karmic consequences in the future, with unpredictable fortune or misfortune. I am unwilling to take that risk.

O

Chen Yi's words were cryptic and confusing, leaving Qiu Li completely bewildered. However, she felt that he was just making excuses to appease her.

She stared at Chen Yi for a moment, then suddenly realized, her tone becoming somewhat certain: "I understand now, you're not worried about the spirit contract and karma at all, you're just lusting after Yue Qingqiu's body!"

"I admit, Yue Qingqiu is indeed stunningly beautiful, but my Chengcheng is just as good-looking!"

Qiu Li abruptly changed the subject, offering a new temptation: "While the Star Moon Sect's dual cultivation techniques are renowned, Fellow Daoist Chen, your primary cultivation is lightning magic. My Thunder Cloud Sect possesses a technique called the 'Yin Yang Lightning Combined Cultivation Technique,' which far surpasses the Star Moon Sect's techniques in its aid to lightning-based cultivators, allowing you to progress in lightning magic much faster!"

A hint of expectation flashed in her eyes as she continued, "How about it? Do you want to reconsider?"

"If you're willing to join the Thundercloud Sect, I can immediately inform my master and select a disciple with the best talent for cultivating Yin Thunder techniques, possessing both superior appearance and physique, to cultivate with you and help you improve your cultivation. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi looked at Qiu Li with a hint of doubt, his tone slightly teasing: "Fairy Qiu, you were always standing up for Chengcheng before, how come you're now helping me find disciples for joint cultivation?"

"Oh, Fellow Daoist Chen, what are you saying?"

Qiu Li waved her hand, her tone becoming matter-of-fact, "Which successful male cultivator doesn't have three wives and four concubines? I believe Chengcheng will understand this in the future!"

"If Fellow Daoist Chen has feelings for Chengcheng, I can even persuade her to come to the Thundercloud Sect and help you manage the other maids in your residence. That way, you won't have to worry about cultivation and can also take care of your personal feelings. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Chen Yi was stunned. Qiu Li had always felt that her best friend Qin Chengcheng was being taken advantage of, and would scold Chen Yi whenever she saw him. This change caught him off guard.

But I still like the way you would immediately start cursing at me for the sake of your friend...

A thought flashed through Chen Yi's mind, then he shook his head and smiled, repeating the same statement: "Actually, besides the Thundercloud Sect, the Ji family and Hongfeng Cave Heaven have also extended invitations to me before."

He paused, then explained further: "Leaving the Star Moon Sect is something I will inevitably consider in the future, but I will at least follow the agreement I made back then and only start making serious plans after I have cultivated to the late stage of Core Formation."

"When the time comes, I'll decide which faction to choose based on my own circumstances."

Chen Yi truly felt Qiu Li's sincerity, so he didn't make any definitive statements—this was both a respect for the other party's good intentions and a way to leave himself room for maneuver.

As his cultivation and abilities improved, he learned more and more about the rules of the upper echelons of the cultivation world, and he also understood the importance of the word "caution" more and more.

A rogue cultivator without a powerful background is like a piece of duckweed on the sea. If he is not careful, he may infringe on the interests of a powerful force. In that case, he will not even know how he died. He dares not take the risk.

"All right."

Qiu Li sensed the firmness in Chen Yi's tone and sighed inwardly, knowing that she had ultimately failed to persuade him.

She stopped trying to persuade him and instead focused on the cooperation at hand: "In that case, let's finalize the cooperation of producing one or two bottles of Enlightenment Thunder Brew every year."

I will report the preparation of the relevant materials to my sect masters as soon as possible. After the supply details are confirmed, I will then negotiate the specific delivery time with Fellow Daoist Chen.

"No problem."

Chen Yi smiled and nodded in agreement, "Qiu Xianzi is Chengcheng's old friend. I am willing to trust her character and make Lei Yun Sect my primary partner."

What he didn't say was that the more important reason for choosing to cooperate with the Thundercloud Sect was that the sect could provide fourth-order Thunder Beast essence blood and Thunder Liquid containing the true meaning of ten thousand years of Thunder Spirit. These materials would greatly help him improve the quality of Thunder Crystal Marrow and break through to a higher body refining realm, which was unmatched by other cooperation.
