Chapter 110: Life and Death (Three updates, seeking recommendation votes ~)

  ……

  Hard on her, then let her taste the ruthless flavor of being plucked. Just thinking about washing away his shame in that way made Lei Dong's heart burn with a fiery passion, filled with the motivation to cultivate and become stronger. After dealing with all sorts of miscellaneous matters, Lei Dong decided to start a life-or-death seclusion.

  Zhao Baiwan, despite having a habit of being greedy for small gains, is still willing to entrust many business matters to him. The reason is simple: the more someone loves to be greedy for small gains, the more they cherish their life. With Lei Dong's current status and position, Zhao Baiwan wouldn't dare to deceive him. On the contrary, he is quite diligent and honest in earning his rightful share. The biggest advantage of this person is that he has a lively mind and has been operating his business network for many years, which can be considered as having achieved some success.

  Nowadays, Lei Dong is doing a big business for him, and Zhao Baiwan will definitely get bigger and bigger as long as his brain doesn't go bad. As a result, he almost worships Lei Dong like a god of wealth. As long as Lei Dong needs to acquire something, he runs around, exhausting himself without complaining.

  Lei Dong then handed him a list of dan medicines, letting him search the world for those dan medicines. For example, Pei Yuan Dan and other dan medicines were quite suitable for Lei Dong's current cultivation level to use. But Lei Dong didn't want them; he wanted dan medicines that assisted in cultivation with excellent effects but were very expensive and precious. For instance, Zao Hua Dan, one pellet of which cost around 500 ling, yet on Lei Dong's list, there was a whole row of 100 pellets.

  There is also the Diligent Spirit Pill, which is extremely effective for breaking through bottlenecks in the Refining Qi stage. He took ten pills at once, and each one required rare and precious spiritual medicine that cost 4,000 to 5,000 spirit stones per pill. Many people wouldn't dare to take even a large bottle of this pill, but Lei Dong thought that if he encountered any setbacks during his cultivation, he would just take another pill.

  In addition, the medium-grade spirit stone worth over a hundred lower-grade spirit stones, also appeared on Lei Dong's shopping list in large quantities of up to two hundred. If not for his limited financial resources, Lei Dong would have hated to use high-grade spirit stones instead. That terrifying ratio of exchanging ten thousand lower-grade spirit stones for one higher-grade spirit stone was something even the Old Ancestor couldn't bear to do long-term, let alone Lei Dong.

  The number of people who have achieved enlightenment through Bigu is countless.

  Such reckless cultivation, I'm afraid even the Golden Elixir ancestors wouldn't let their descendants squander it like this. However, Lei Dong had no choice; if he cultivated in the most frugal way possible, it would still take at least twenty years to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Even with the most cost-effective method, without ten or more years, reaching the Foundation Establishment was absolutely impossible.

  Time is the most important thing for Leidong. With such a luxurious attitude, Leidong plans to reach the foundation period in three to five years. Originally, with his qualifications, without special opportunities or strong background, the probability of advancing to the foundation period throughout his life was very low. Adding up the past decade and another three to five years, if he can really advance to the foundation period, it would already be a huge stroke of luck.

  Spent some contribution, exchanged a Netherworld Great Method, as well as the Netherfire Bullet and other matching techniques. Since last time seeing the Netherworld Great Method from Wan Gui Lao Zu, Lei Dong has been itching to try it out, might as well take advantage of this long closure, cultivate during leisure time, and thoroughly comprehend it.

  Ten thousand demons' cave, thunder moves in the middle of the room, always hanging a closed sign.

  Every year, that is to say, seeing Zhao Baiwan once, because he has to receive the spiritual elixir collected and purchased by him. As for others, even if it's his master sister, they avoid meeting him. Perhaps due to being stimulated by Lei Dong, he doesn't want to fall behind Lei Dong too much. After Chen Guo Wei Hua returned, he also procured a batch of Pei Yuan Dan and entered a state of closed cultivation.

  Year in and year out.

  In the blink of an eye, every year's resources are astonishingly consumed. Leidong's cultivation is also making progress bit by bit in extremely luxurious practice. Even if the sky collapses outside, he won't take half a step out. He is also completely unaware of what happened outside.

  Loneliness, endless loneliness. But unable to bear loneliness, how can one speak of cultivation? What is the point of defying heaven?

  The maidservants who were sent to keep watch outside the mansion, one batch replaced every month, had no idea how many batches had been replaced. Yet they never knew whether the people inside the Qing Shi Gate were still alive. Under the ban, if there was no summons from inside, they absolutely could not take half a step closer to the residence. All they could do was watch day after day as the dust on the Qing Shi Gate accumulated more and more. They didn't dare take half a step past the Thunder Pool to sweep it clean. All they could do was wait silently, waiting for the mysterious person inside to call out to them one day.

  Spring comes and autumn goes, Ting Wenyuan visits once a year, but never disturbs Lei Dong's cultivation. She just stands outside the door, looks silently for a day, then leaves calmly without anyone noticing the faint sadness in her eyes. Before leaving, she always waves her sleeve gently, sweeping away all dust.

  A few junior brothers would occasionally come to visit Lei Dong, standing silently outside the door for a while before leaving. Their appearances also seemed to grow more mature with each passing year. Especially Zuo Chao, whose transformation was particularly striking. From a young and inexperienced youth, he had grown into a tall, handsome, and sunny young man, with a silly and naive smile that didn't have any of the sinister or evil aura that one would expect from a demonic cultivator.

  There was also Lei Qing'er, who only gradually got to know this brother after she grew up, under Ding Yuanyan's narration. Especially every time she heard that after her brother found out she had been kidnapped, he was furious and wiped out the entire household of the detestable Li Chang'an, Lei Qing'er would always feel a warmth in her heart, and Lei Dong's image, under Ding Yuanyan's nostalgia and beautification, became even more majestic.

  She didn't need to shut herself in her room for a long time, as soon as she had some free time, she would go to her brother's door and wait for a while. She hoped to see with her own eyes her brother's extraordinary demeanor. When she was younger, she didn't understand things and even thought he was a bad person, who let him have such a gloomy face and fierce eyes? The eight-year-old little girl seemed to be growing up day by day, and her cultivation was also increasing day by day.

  Two years later, Wan Gui Lao Zu returned and was slightly surprised to learn that Lei Dong had actually entered the Closed Life and Death Gate, where he wouldn't come out until he reached the Foundation Building stage. A hint of relief flashed in his eyes as he understood Lei Dong's nature - if he didn't have a huge margin of safety, he would absolutely not do something like this. From this, it seemed that before long, there was a high probability that he would take on another disciple.

  Especially Lei Qing'er, made the old ancestor extremely satisfied. Her talent, although not as good as Yin Xuan's, which is a rare encounter in a hundred years, can also be considered on par with Nan Gongli, the newly recruited first disciple. You know, Nan Gongli is the number one in this generation. Such a treasure of a disciple who fell from the sky, how could it not make Wan Gui's eyebrows open and eyes smile? Along with it, because Lei Dong hid the top-grade spirit ghost from him, his anger was reduced by a lot.

  In the Ghost Slave Report, Ding Yuanyan used the Ten Thousand Ghosts Order to save the little girl and even destroyed a door of an old sect's family that had returned home. The Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Ghosts only grunted: "I reckon it was another one of Lei Xiaoyu's ghost ideas. I'm still wondering, where did he get so many spirit stones to buy so many Reincarnation Pills and Earth Spirit Pills? It turns out they were all robbed. Good riddance. If we didn't destroy him, once this gets out, how can my Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect still stand in the Yin Xie Sect?"

  Month after month, year after year.

  In the blink of an eye, it was already the fifth year since he had gone into seclusion. In the long-silent Leidong residence, on this day, a sharp whistle finally burst out, shaking the walls to tremble.

  Like a starving tiger bursting out of its cage, it let out a series of loud roars, releasing the pent-up emotions that had been suppressed for so long.

  It's been more than four years, a whole lot of four years. Leidong has never closed for so long in his life. The accumulation of loneliness for a long time made Leidong almost on the verge of collapse. Every day, except for cultivation, it was still cultivation. At this moment, he needs to vent the depression and excitement in his heart.

  In the residential area of the direct disciples, there was not only Lei Dong. The others, after hearing this wailing and ghostly howling sound, couldn't help but gather together.

  People in the residential area of the disciples of the Foundation Establishment stage not far away also heard the extraordinary sound of this whistle. One by one, they displayed their exquisite movements and appeared strangely outside the gate.

  A faint, invisible mist floated by, and Ding Yuanyan pulled Lei Qing'er's hand, quietly appearing outside the corridor. Her eyes were somewhat excited, yet trembling as she stared at the walls that wouldn't stop shaking.

  "Boom!"

  The green stone wall was blasted open, and Lei Dong's face was somewhat gaunt, but he appeared exceptionally spirited in front of everyone.
