Chapter 8: Cold Ashes Fort (Part 2)

  "I haven't been there, but I've heard many rumors. In our batch of people back then, quite a few died at Han Ya Fort. This place actually has the strength to go out into the wilderness with just one ring of true body, of course, you can't run far, and there will be some income. As for Wan Lun Master and Mi Lun Master, as long as they don't leave the fort, it's not a big problem, as long as the supplies are sufficient, survival is not a problem."

  "Foolish tiger, you have no idea what the extreme cold weather is like there. If your strength is slightly inferior, you will really lose your life."

  "Hey, Eagle Uncle, don't say it's that scary. If it's so dangerous, why are we still going?"

  "Are you kidding me? That's a treasure land, not just anyone can go there. Although it's dangerous, there are opportunities to be had, and everyone will try to get in. As cultivators, as long as we're well-prepared, that place is actually quite good for cultivation and gathering materials."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "What supplies should we prepare? Uncle Eagle, you must have a lot of experience, right?"

  "Leave it all to me! I'd rather have too much than not enough!"

  He still smiled, knowing that this guy had been preparing a large amount of food since he lost last time. The appetite of cultivators is huge, especially in cold areas, and the consumption of food is considerable. If not prepared enough, it will indeed be insufficient to eat.

  Fengying knew what his old friend was thinking, and he smiled: "I haven't hoarded a lot of food for a long time. If I hadn't heard Afeng say that he wanted to go there this time, I wouldn't have wanted to hoard food either. Afeng, to be honest, Hanshao Fortress is indeed an excellent place for cultivation. From the first ring True Person to the sixth ring True Person, it's the most suitable place for cultivation."

  "Alright, let's gather food together," said Leixing Feng with a nod.

  The entire hidden space is filled with a large amount of food, all kinds of food. The maze-like space is the best place for plant growth. On the outer layer of the hidden space, there are many ordinary people living, they are all slaves of the secret gate, specializing in various productions.

  Lei Xingfeng arrived here with two guards to collect food.

  General Aishaner personally led a group of people to rush over, they came to a large villa, according to General Aishaner's words, this villa belonged to Leixingfeng. Each of the Guji disciples had allocated villas, and Leixingfeng was no exception. He owned five large estates and seventeen small ones, with tens of thousands of people serving him, all managed by the general for him.

  Lei Xingfeng sometimes felt like he was dreaming, he had never thought that there would be so many people under him.

  Sitting in the manor, there is a big housekeeper with a large number of people serving him.

  Lei Xingfeng just had to say what he wanted and Da Zhuangtou would immediately organize people to collect it.

  The storage space of the real person is very large and can store many items, but there is one thing that cannot be kept fresh for a long time. Fresh fruits and vegetables are put in, although they will not rot, they will soon wither, so only dry goods can be stored. If you want to store food for a long time, it's more particular.

  Lei Xingfeng wrote a list for the big landlord, all of which were dried vegetables, such as mushroom dry, bamboo shoots and so on. There were also many foods produced in the big village, such as various salted meats, pickled meats, sauce meats, wind-dried chickens and ducks, and various beans, mainly green beans and soybeans. Lei Xingfeng found that there were these two kinds of beans here and was surprised for a moment.

  After the food was ready, they started preparing fuel, mainly wood. There were several special oil woods that needed to be collected in large quantities. These oil woods had excellent combustibility and were very durable, as well as various types of charcoal.

  A basket of over 200 catties of charcoal, Leixingfeng took a hundred baskets in one breath. The three people averaged and distributed them, each having more than thirty baskets, enough to keep warm.

  Three people, like locusts, under the command of Butler Aishaner, all kinds of materials were sent to the manor, Leixingfeng and others entered the wheel storage space, busy for three days, collecting a large amount of food and materials, only then was Crazy Eagle satisfied.

  After resting and tidying up for a day, Lei Xingfeng finally brought Feng Ying and Xi Hu to the residence of his third senior brother, Xin Zhaolun. His butler, Ai Si Shan, was already standing at the door waiting.

  "Ai Si Shan smiled and said: 'Young Master Jiu, the master is in the room, please follow me.'"

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Thirteenth Uncle, what's with this 'Little Ninth Master' business? It sounds terrible. Just call me Ah Feng."

  Ai Si Shan said seriously: "I don't dare... rules are rules, Young Master doesn't need to persuade me."

  Lei Xingfeng muttered, "How boring." Among the housekeepers, Xin Zhaolun's subordinates were the most strict and rigid. Everything was done by the book, and they never overstepped their bounds. However, Xin Zhaolun highly appreciated him, and in Third Master's household, Ai Sishan held a very high position.

  As he walked into the room, Xin Zhaolun was talking to a woman. Seeing Lei Xingfeng enter, he smiled and said: "Ah Feng has arrived, let me introduce you, this is your eighth sister, Miao Ling."

  This is a woman with an extremely ordinary appearance, to the extent that if you threw her into a crowd, you would absolutely not be able to find her. She wore a pale blue long skirt, and had a dull expression. When she saw Lei Xingfeng, a faint smile appeared on her face as she said: "Miao Ling, the True Body of the Four Ring Seal."

  Lei Xingfeng didn't dare to be slow and said: "I am Lei Xingfeng, the True Man of the Precious Wheel Seal."

  Miao Ling's face showed a look of surprise, and she said: "The true body of Wu Huan?"

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Just promoted, hehe, Eighth Sister, nice to meet you for the first time, please take care of me."

  Miao Ling said: "Awesome, even higher than me by one level! How did my junior brother cultivate?" She was still quite happy, originally always being the smallest, didn't expect that a junior brother actually came.

  Xin Zhaolun said: "The master originally didn't plan to take on any more disciples, hehe, but when he saw Ninth Brother, he couldn't help himself, his talent is just too good."

  Lei Xingfeng smiled slightly and didn't make a sound.

  Xin Zhaolun said: "This opportunity is relatively rare, Miao Shimei also goes with us, she brings two guards, a total of three people, Ah Feng you bring them two?"

  Lei Xingfeng nodded and said: "No way, my strength is too weak, I can only bring two masters."

  Xin Zhaolun said, "Hmm, in that case, we'll go with seven people, and there's still one more spot left. Hmm, forget it, I'll bring one too. Aisshan, do you want to come with me?"

  "Ai Si Shan said seriously: "Third Master, I won't go. This quota is hard to come by, it's better to give it to someone who needs it. Let Xiao Di Ya follow instead, he has reached the second ring true body for a long time, going to Han Yan Fortress will be of great help to him."

  Xin Zhaolun said: "Alright, let Xiaodiya follow us too."

  Xiao Diya is Xin Zhaolun's guard, and in fact, he is also his disciple. He is a true person taught by Xin Zhaolun himself. Since Xin Zhaolun has not yet crossed the nine rings to reach the True Lord realm, he cannot accept disciples.

  Miao Ling said: "Third Master, when are we leaving?"

  Xin Zhaolun said: "Tomorrow we'll leave... Ah yes, little junior sister, have you finished collecting supplies? Especially food."

  Miao Ling smiled and said: "I've already collected them all, hehe, Hong Jie helped me."

  Xin Zhaolun said: "That's good, no one goes home today. We'll leave early tomorrow morning, so let's just rest at my place for the night."

  Lei Xingfeng and Miao Ling responded in unison, Xin Zhaolun had Ai Si Shan arrange accommodations for the two of them. Xin Zhaolun's residence was very large with many rooms, so it was easy to make arrangements.

  ……

  The next morning, everyone gathered and followed Xin Zhaolun to leave by car.

  They soon arrived at the residence of their ancestor, and Lei Xingfeng curiously asked: "What are we looking for our ancestor for?"

  Xin Zhaolun explained: "We need the help of our ancestors to get through this."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "When did Master return? This time I came back and went there specially, didn't he go out?"

  "Back for over a decade, you've been cooped up at home all this time, of course you wouldn't know."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "I just don't want to go out, I'm busy cultivating."

  Before long, the car entered the residence of the ancestors, and everyone followed Xin Zhaolun into the room.

  Lei Xingfeng followed behind, he caught sight of the ancestor, this ancestor had always made him very curious, the most striking thing was that this guy didn't know how old he was, anyway in Lei Xingfeng's mind, this guy was at least 800 years old if not a thousand, but his appearance was completely different from that, he looked really weird and sometimes he couldn't even confirm whether this person was male or female, every time he saw him, he would feel a strange feeling in his heart.

  The ancestor scolded with a smile: "A group of little rabbits, just came back and troubled me!"

  Lei Xingfeng was good at flattering and immediately stepped forward: "Greetings, Master."

  Wu Yang smiled and said: "Not bad, little guy is not bad, did not slack off, the speed of cultivation is very fast, already five-ring true body."

  Lei Xingfeng smiled and said: "That's just good luck, hehe."

  Wu Yang said: "Cultivation and aura manipulation have nothing to do with each other. If you don't work hard, it's basically very difficult to advance."

  Xin Zhaolun and Miao Ling also stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Master." Xin Zhaolun even added a thank you, "Thank you for your trouble this time, Master."

  "Of course it's troubling me, an old man! Living here isn't peaceful either. Why not let your master open it? You're really making a fuss over nothing, bothering an old fellow like me!"

  Lei Xingfeng heard Wu Yang call himself an old man, and his body broke out in goosebumps. This guy's appearance is absolutely demonic, saying he's a woman wouldn't be wrong, he's really too beautiful. However, he didn't dare say anything, let alone that he was the ancestor, just his strength would scare people to death, which isn't an exaggeration. He's someone who needs to be looked up to.

  Xin Zhaolun smiled and said: "Master has something to attend to, hehe, so I can only come to trouble the ancestors."

  Wu Yang just slightly complained, saying: "Follow me." Several people followed him inside, he said: "Are all kinds of materials ready? Going to Hanshui Castle, it's not possible to leave when you want to leave. If preparations are not sufficient, you will have to suffer."

  Xin Zhaolun respectfully said: "Everything is ready."

  Wu Yang nodded, and he led his men to a strange black door frame.

  Lei Xingfeng was curious in his heart and thought: "What is this thing? A black frame?"

  ………

  Third watch, asking for votes.
