In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Chapter 679 Trading

"this?"

Lei Yunzi's face turned pale instantly.

At this moment, how could he not understand that the ancient demon lords in front of him were actually the same person as Lu Yuan!

Lei Yunzi suddenly lost his confidence, and at this moment he fully understood the gap between himself and Lu Yuan.

"I want the Thunder Control Pearl, and I must enter Bitter Spirit Island as well. How about this, I also have a secret technique for condensing Thunder Pattern Pearls. I'm sure you've already witnessed its power, senior. Would adding this to the technique be enough?" Lei Yunzi asked with a forced smile.

"Condensing lightning patterns?" Lu Yuan shook his head with a smirk.

Lei Yunzi's version was a watered-down version obtained from Han Li; he would be lucky to succeed once out of ten attempts.

"But apart from that, I really have nothing else to offer. I hope that you will be lenient with me, senior, considering that we are both people who have broken through to the next realm." Lei Yunzi looked troubled, but a hint of pleading flashed in his eyes.

"How about this? I'm also very interested in your lightning array. How about we add this?" Lu Yuan said calmly, looking at Lei Yunzi.

"Lightning Array?" A hint of hesitation flashed across Lei Yunzi's face.

After considering for a moment, Lei Yunzi solemnly said, "This junior agrees, but before that, please tell me truthfully, senior, have you already... acquired the Spirit Cleansing Pool and the Spirit Purifying Lotus...?"

“The Cleansing Spirit Pool and the Purifying Spirit Lotus were sealed in a special space by the Demon Realm Ancestor using an array, which cannot be easily broken.” Lu Yuan naturally understood Lei Yunzi’s meaning and did not hide anything.

"Even with your supernatural powers, Senior, there's nothing you can do?" Lei Yunzi's eyes lit up when he heard that Lu Yuan had not obtained the Pure Spirit Lotus.

"Unless the Ancient Demon Saint Ancestor personally activates it, or a Mahayana cultivator of equal level can break it. However, I remind you, forcibly attacking the formation might alert them." Lu Yuan exposed Lei Yunzi's little scheme, but to appease him, he added:

"Even if you don't get these two opportunities now, with the rich spiritual energy of Bitter Spirit Island, if you cultivate on the island for several decades, you can not only make up for the lost vital energy, but you will also be able to successfully advance to the Integration stage."

"Alright, we'll do as you say, senior." Upon hearing that he could advance to the Fusion stage, a hint of excitement flashed in Lei Yunzi's eyes.

"Wait a minute, I don't think you're a very honest guy. You'd better swear by your inner demons that you'll hand over the complete methods for those two supernatural powers. Otherwise, you should know what the consequences will be if I find out you've tampered with them!" As he finished speaking, Lu Yuan's expression grew increasingly somber, and his voice became icy cold.

Even someone as cautious as Han Li was tricked by Lei Yunzi, so it's necessary to warn him.

Sure enough, upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Lei Yunzi's expression immediately became extremely strange.

"What, did I hit the nail on the head?" Lu Yuan's voice carried a hint of murderous intent.

"Senior misunderstands. How could I dare? It's just that these two are great divine abilities of the Thunder Dao, which are not something that ordinary people can master. Of course, I see that your attainments in the Thunder Dao are extraordinary, far surpassing mine. I think there shouldn't be any problem," Lei Yunzi quickly said with a smile.

Stop flattering me. As long as the method I give you is correct, the rest is none of your business.

“What you say is true, senior. I swear on my inner demons. But senior, could you please do something else to give me some peace of mind? After all, this deal is extremely important to me. If you guarantee that you will not break your promise, then I will have no worries.”

After Lei Yunzi finished speaking, he cautiously stared at Lu Yuan, waiting for his response.

"Hmph, you're quite shrewd, kid." Lu Yuan snorted coldly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

He formed a hand seal, a red light appeared behind his head, and then began to swear an oath to his inner demons.

Seeing this, Lei Yunzi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed suit in making the oath.

After the two finished swearing their oaths, Lei Yunzi took out two jade slips and placed them on his forehead.

Not long after the copying was completed, Lei Yunzi walked out of the Thunder Sea and respectfully handed it to Lu Yuan.

After Lu Yuan received the pearl, the mountain giant avatar beside him also took out the Thunder Control Pearl, but seemed somewhat hesitant when handing it to Lei Yunzi.

After the mountain giant took out the Thunder Control Pearl, Lei Yunzi's attention was drawn to it, and he naturally did not notice the strange expression on the mountain giant's face. With a quick wave of his hand, the Thunder Control Pearl seemed to become a part of the mountain giant's body and flew straight towards Lei Yunzi.

"You've already obtained the Thunder Control Pearl. As for going to Bitter Spirit Island, we'll have to wait until I confirm that there are no problems with these two methods." After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he sat cross-legged in the void and began to comprehend the contents of the two jade slips.

"Good, good." Lei Yunzi finally obtained the Thunder Control Pearl. He didn't care about anything else and kept praising it while quickly calming his mind and preparing for the refining.

One day later.

"Senior, you've gone too far!" Lei Yunzi suppressed his anger and looked at Lu Yuan not far away with a livid face.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yuan, who was comprehending the Dharma, seemed to have expected this, and didn't even lift his eyelids.

"You've already refined this Thunder Control Pearl, and you're still using it for trading? Are you deliberately trying to cheat a junior like me?!"

“Who said I’ve refined it!” Lu Yuan suddenly raised his hand at Lei Yunzi.

Upon seeing this, Lei Yunzi's expression changed, thinking that Lu Yuan was about to attack him, and he instinctively tried to hide in the sea of ​​lightning. But the next moment, he was stunned, because Lu Yuan simply placed his hand on the void and made no other move.

Soon, a wisp of soul light appeared at Lu Yuan's fingertip and slowly flew towards Lei Yunzi.

“This is a wisp of my essence. You can compare it with the first imprint in the Thunder Control Pearl.”

Lei Yunzi took the wisp of spirit and examined it carefully, finding that it was indeed different.

"But you already knew that the Thunder Control Pearl had been refined. Once this thing has been refined, no one else can control it perfectly. Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"Is that really the case?" Lu Yuan frowned.

"you!"

Even though Lei Yunzi harbored great resentment towards Lu Yuan, he suppressed the urge to curse and remained silent in place.

"I guess I've done this to vent Han Li's anger," Lu Yuan thought to himself before continuing to study the techniques in the jade slip.

Lei Yunzi stood there for a long time with his brows furrowed, then suddenly a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he slapped his forehead as if he had thought of something.

Then he put away the Thunder Control Pearl and flashed into the sea of ​​thunder.

This action naturally did not escape Lu Yuan's notice, and he quickly went over to observe through the lightning waterfall.

Lei Yunzi's expression was solemn and focused as he continuously made hand seals, and mysterious runes flashing with lightning floated out from his body one after another.

These runes seemed to follow some mysterious rules, arranged in an orderly manner, gradually forming the prototype of an incredibly profound magic array.
