Shortly afterwards, outside the Du Family, numerous Du Family experts headed towards the Barbarian Beast Mountain Range. With Second Master Du Zhixiong personally leading the group, their goal was to exterminate the Heavenly Spirit Demon Hunting Squad immediately.
After the news spread, the people within the Stone City could only silently pray for the Heavenly Spirit Demon Hunting Squad.
Although the Heavenly Spirit Demon Hunting Squad was strong and was one of the best Demon Hunting Squads at the edge of Barbarian Beast Mountain Range, it was far inferior to Du Family. Besides, the Second Master of the Du Family personally came out, which also proved that the Du Family was truly enraged this time.
That afternoon, Du Family.
In the study, Du Zhenwu handed a cultivation coin card over to Du Shaofu and said, "In total, it is six million cultivation coins. We have taken over the Treasure Coming Firm and found over two million cultivation coins in the firm. With the addition of the goods in the firm, they are equivalent of the money you won from betting.?
Du Shaofu stared blankly for a moment, then chuckled, "First Uncle, aren't six million cultivation coins too much for me?"
Du Zhenwu smiled slightly, and said, "Five million and two hundred thousand cultivation coins were the money you won, and the remaining eight hundred thousand cultivation coins were given to you by the family. Because you gave Du Family an honorable reason to deal with the Heavenly Spirit Demon Hunting Squad. After your second uncle exterminated the Heavenly Spirit Demon Hunting Squad, I reckon that with the power and wealth of the Heavenly Spirit Demon Hunting Squad, you would still be able to obtain more than three million cultivation coins. So the eight hundred thousand cultivation coins were given to you by the family and is what you deserved to take. This time, our family actually get many benefits.?
"Then I will take them."
After hearing this, Du Shaofu take the cultivation coins pleasantly. He was short on money right now. As he cultivated, the grade of the herbal medicines he needed became higher and more expensive. The six million seemed to be a sum that ordinary people would never be able to obtain in their entire lives, but it was definitely not enough to stop Zhen Qingchun from tormenting himself.
"You did well this time, but you took too many risks. Next time, don't be so careless."
Du Zhenwu still had lingering fear in his heart. If the King Scale Demon Tiger didn?t appear in time, with the strength of the three leaders of the Heavenly Spirit Demon Hunting Squad, the consequences of Du Shaofu would be disastrous.
"Right." Du Shaofu could only nod his head and reply. He couldn?t say that he had long prepared the King Scale Demon Tiger.
Du Zhenwu looked at Du Shaofu with satisfaction and continued, "Yesterday we fought for the championship, today was your day of rest. Tomorrow, you will enter the Ye Family Lightning Pool, and by then, you will have to rely entirely on yourself to obtain all the benefits."
"I will work hard."
Du Shaofu's heart was already filled with anticipation. It was said that the lightning pool could temper the original body, which would definitely benefit his cultivation of the Golden Winged Roc Body Training Method. Perhaps, this time, it might be able to strengthen his Body Training Method even more.
With regards to the Body Training Method, Du Shaofu had always valued it. If not for the Body Training Method, the result of yesterday's attack against Cao Qitai would not be good.
Du Zhenwu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Du Shaofu and said, "The lightning pool is related to the Thunderbolt Demon Lion. After you enter the lightning pool, you can pay attention to the lion, but at the same time, you should be careful. If you can find anything of Thunderbolt Demon Lion, it would be better, but the most important thing is to take care of your own safety."
Du Shaofu understood his first uncle's words and lightly nodded his head.
Without a doubt, Ye Family was the number one power of the Stone City. It controlled Stone City for several generations, and it was also highly respected by the citizens of the Stone City.
In the early morning of the next day, Du Shaofu washed up, rode on a Ferghana Horse, and came outside of the Ye Family. Then he was respectfully invited by two Ye Family disciples to enter.
In Ye Family, there were numerous buildings, magnificent buildings, and fake mountains and ponds everywhere. The environment was extremely elegant.
Under the guidance of the Ye Family disciple, Du Shaofu passed through several long paths and arrived inside a pavilion. Only then did the two Ye Family disciples leave.
"You came rather early."
A beautiful figure came slightly, which was Ye Zijin of Ye Family. Today, she was wearing tight pants, which made her slim and straight legs look extremely long and slender. On top of that, she was wearing a light-colored shirt, which formed a beautiful curve between her slender waist and the curve of her chest.
Ye Zijin's clothes today revealed a bit of charming from her youth, causing Du Shaofu to look at her a little more. Then, he lightly smiled and said, "To cultivate in the lightning pool, I have to come earlier naturally."
Ye Zijin looked at Du Shaofu and asked, "I will bring you to the lightning pool. You should know about the origins and uses of the lightning pool, right?"
Du Shaofu nodded. His first uncle had already told him the origins and uses of the lightning pool. The lightning pool was owned by the Ye Family, and rumours said that it could only be opened once every few years, and there were a few Blood Essence of the Thunderbolt Demon Lion inside. Cultivating in the lightning pool could obtain the lightning to forge the original body, which would be extremely beneficial to one's cultivation. If he could cultivate in the lightning pool, he would have a great future.
"This is an Anti-Thunder Pill specially refined by my Ye Family. When you enter the lightning pool, you must consume it, otherwise, I'm afraid the Thunder Power in the lightning pool won't be able to be defended against with your current cultivation. By then, it may destroy you first before help you cultivate the body."
As Ye Zijin spoke, he handed a round and glossy pill to Du Shaofu. A faint fragrance spread from the pill's body and smelled very comfortable. She gently opened her mouth and said, "The Anti-Thunder Pill can help you resist the power of lightning, but when the effects of the Anti-Thunder Pill disappear, if you are no longer able to resist the Thunder Power in the lightning pool, you must not take it head-on. Or else, no matter what happens, Ye Family will not be able to take responsibility."
Du Shaofu nodded his head to show that he understood and naturally accepted the Anti-Thunder Pill.
"Then follow me. How much benefit you can obtain from the lightning pool is up to you."
Ye Zijin smiled slightly, then led the way with light footsteps, gesturing for Du Shaofu to follow by her side.
"I heard you were in the limelight again yesterday?" Ye Zijin said softly halfway.
"Honest people are easily bullied." Du Shaofu said softly.
Ye Zijin's footsteps paused, and her gaze landed on Du Shaofu's body. She really could not see just how honest he was, nor how he had been bullied. It was heard that the Treasure Coming Firm was very miserable.
?Sigh.? Ye Zijin looked at Du Shaofu, sighed without saying a word, and continued to lead the way.
After walking through several smaller paths, Du Shaofu finally followed Ye Zijin and reached a rather quiet and secluded area.
An ancient building appeared before Du Shaofu's eyes. It was surrounded by a large plaza, and in the middle of the plaza there was a building that looked like tower and hall, but wasn't. It exuded an ancient aura, as if it had existed for many years.
"What a powerful aura."
Standing far away from that building, Du Shaofu could feel a berserk aura. This aura caused one's heart to tremble for no reason, and could shake one's soul, as if a severely strong beast was hiding inside it.
Ye Zijin said, "The lightning pool is inside. Once you enter it yourself, the lightning pool will automatically open. Remember what I said. Don?t take it head-on when you can?t resist.?
"Right."
Du Shaofu nodded. After taking in a deep breath, he directly walked into the ancient building.
Entering the building, Du Shaofu?s feeling of that violent aura fluctuating from within became stronger. Faint dim rays of light were projected in from outside the door, making the inside of the building even more hazy.
Although the light was dim and hazy, this did not prevent Du Shaofu from seeing a stone door.
There was no other way in the building, so Du Shaofu directly stepped through the stone door.
"Chi la!"
The instant Du Shaofu stepped past the stone door, the stone door behind him immediately rippled with lightning. "Tsss" sounds of lightning crackling continuously hung from the stone door like a dense spider web, causing people to shiver.
?Boom!?
At this moment, the entire simple and unadorned building suddenly trembled. Thunder and lightning began to linger outside the entrance.
Even the entire ancient building would occasionally flash with lightning, appearing incomparably mystical.
"I wonder how many benefits he'll be able to obtain. His original body is already very strong. After the Lightning Lake refines his body, his body must be even more terrifying. He really is an abnormal being."
Ye Zijin stood on the plaza. Only after the ancient building's door was wrapped in lightning did she turn around and leave.
"Roar!"
A beast's roar that sounded like thunder came out from the Stone City. The sound wave shot into the heavens, and then disappeared into the sky.
At this moment, many people within the Stone City were looking at the Ye Family in the center of the Stone City with different expressions.
"Thunder Power."
Du Shaofu turned his head to look at the lightning sparks that were flickering on the stone door behind him. He could feel a chilling aura even from a distance.
In front of the stone door, there was a stone staircase spiraling downwards instead of upwards, as if it was leading to the bottom.
Du Shaofu was not worried at all as he walked down the spiraling stone stairs. In his heart, he could feel a berserk aura coming from below the stairs, which was getting more and more berserk, and there were faint sounds of thunder.
As Du Shaofu delved deeper, the stone steps around him began to glow with lightning, brightening up the surrounding space.
The atmosphere inside had also frozen for no reason, causing Du Shaofu's heart to become inexplicably nervous.
When he took the last step, a strong light shone out. The eye-piercing light caused Du Shaofu to squint his eyes.
After his eyes got used to it, Du Shaofu opened his eyes and looked ahead. His face was filled with shock suddenly.
"This is the lightning pool?"
What appeared in Du Shaofu's eyes was a huge cave. Densely packed stalactites that were all different colors hung inside the cave.
"Chi la!"
On top of the stalactites, lightning and thunder flickered, which was incomparably gorgeous and possessed an extremely strong visual impact.
