Chapter Eleven: Boiling (Part One)

  Hammerhead said: "It's not just a fart, I almost... froze everything."

  Xin Zhaolun said: "Alright, let's not talk about this, it's filthy enough. Hopefully the stench won't spread over here." He shook his head and sighed bitterly.

  "This is nothing, you've never seen a truly filthy place..."

  "Is this really the land of true filth?"

  Song Jie nodded and said, "That's right, the truly filthy place is where people who cultivate dark properties go. Of course, you don't need to go to that kind of place. Hmm, you're a lightning attribute? Not bad attributes, it has a great restraint effect on that kind of place. However, if you go, I believe you will be beaten to death."

  Lei Xingfeng muttered: "I didn't say I was going..."

  Song Jiao said: "However, the Thunder Attribute is a very rare attribute. What's even more precious is that the Thunder Attribute can go to almost any place. Not bad, young one."

  In this world, ninety percent of people have one of four attributes: fire attribute, metal attribute, earth attribute, and ice attribute. There are also those with multiple attributes entangled together, such as dual attributes or triple attributes. As for other attributes, they are rarely seen, which is why Song Jue said it's good.

  ……

  It's only half a day left, and the extremely cold weather will be over. After three consecutive days of struggling, everyone is under tremendous mental pressure, to the point where they all feel exhausted. In fact, during these three days, apart from taking turns sleeping, most of their time was spent burning firewood, eating, and chatting idly. Yet even with such relaxing activities, each of them feels tired, just waiting for the extremely cold weather to pass quickly.

  Lei Xingfeng hugged a ball of fur and like Miao Ling, he only exposed his head and said: "After the extreme cold, how long will it take to warm up?"

  Hammerhead was also wrapped in a thick fur coat, but he was obviously much better than the others. As a native of this land, he said: "After the extreme cold, it will warm up immediately, and that's when Hanyabao is at its most chaotic."

  "Uh, are there a lot of people coming?"

  Song Jiao said: "It's impossible to come in, no secret door can be opened to get here. This world only has extremely cold weather once a year. In the two months before that, it is the best time for the secret door to open. Once the extremely cold weather arrives, people from this place cannot go out and outsiders cannot come in. Only by surviving the extremely cold weather can you gain something in this world. Hehe, at that time, you can go find various resources and hunt ice beasts."

  "Turns out the Secret Gate isn't all-powerful after all..."

  Song Jiao smiled and said, "Nonsense, any world... isn't one that can be entered at will. You need to choose the right timing to open the secret door. If you force it open, hehe, you'll destroy the secret door. You should know that a secret door requires an enormous amount of resources to create. Even if you're a True Lord, not everyone has a secret door."

  Lei Xingfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had originally thought that as long as he reached the True Lord, he could freely open the secret door. It turned out that the secret door also needed to be crafted and wasn't something that came out of thin air. He said: "Doesn't the True Lord have a secret door? The True Lord is so powerful, shouldn't it be easy to collect all sorts of resources?"

  Song Jiao shook his head repeatedly and said, "This is impossible. The secret door's production requires materials that are not available in just one world. You think... if the True Lord didn't have a secret door, how could he go to other worlds? It's fundamentally impossible to collect so many resources."

  Lei Xingfeng shook his head in disbelief.

  Xin Zhaolun said, "I believe this to be true. Most True Kings with secret gates possess a hidden space that is passed down through generations. If it's relying on one's own power to advance to the rank of True King... Heh heh, then it's indeed possible that there wouldn't be a secret gate."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Song senior, do you have a secret?"

  "Cut the nonsense," Song Jiao said, "of course I have a secret passage, or how else would I be here?"

  "Ah, senior is here to collect materials? Why not let your disciple do it?"

  Song Jiao said, "No time to bother with that, I'm a person who likes freedom and doesn't like to settle down. Since I got the secret door, I've been running around everywhere, hehe, this feeling, you must not have experienced it, it's really addictive."

  Lei Xingfeng's eyes showed a hint of envy, he also wanted this kind of life, unrestricted and carefree, but of course it was just a yearning, he knew he couldn't live like that, he still had many burdens on his shoulders, and couldn't put them down yet. He said: "A very good choice."

  Song Jie was surprised, this set of being despised by countless people, almost no one agreed with his approach, it's hard to find someone who agrees, he suddenly became happy and said: "Yes, in fact, living like this without worries or troubles, not only saves mental and physical energy, but also makes one feel comfortable and relaxed, there are not so many messy things, want to go then go, want to stay then stay, want to kill someone then kill someone, want to set fire then set fire..." He spoke nonsense.

  Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and Lei Xingfeng said: "Yes, yes, whatever you want to do is fine."

  Xin Zhaolun said in a low voice: "But, senior, what about your inheritance?"

  "Succession? What's that got to do with me? I'm dead... and there's no succession. Think about it, even if I pass it on to my disciples, when I die, I won't know anything anymore. So... I won't pass it on, nor will I take in any disciples. When the time comes for me to kick the bucket, I'll just close my eyes and be carefree, how relaxing!"

  Everyone was stunned and listened, this guy is absolutely a freak.

  Song Jiao smiled and said, "This choice is absolutely great. Although I don't have any disciples or followers, I have countless friends. If there's something to be done, I can entrust it to my friends and pay them a certain fee, which can also achieve the goal without having to take on too much responsibility. This way... I can live very comfortably for the rest of my life."

  Lei Xingfeng was thoroughly relieved, no wonder this guy would rent with others, as a result, in the extremely cold weather, the house collapsed. If he had disciples of Men, such things would never happen. This guy is just a lonely soul, however, he also understood that interacting with such people has both good and bad consequences.

  "Senior Song, is this fierce wheel refined by you?"

  "Haha, you think it was made by me?"

  "Isn't it refined by you?"

  Song Jiao said, "It can also be said that I refined it myself, or that I obtained it by chance. To tell the truth, I seized it. A few little guys discovered an ancient wheel storage space and cleaned it out. I arrived late, so I caught those little guys and they were very obedient, sending most of the things to me. This violent wheel was one of the things I got that time. Later, I modified it a bit."

  Lei Xingfeng was sweating bullets, originally thinking this guy was a good person, but now it seems he's not that kind after all. In fact, this is also one of his frequent confusions, because with the moral standards of his past life, he often conflicts with the cognition of this life. Such behavior in this world is really too normal, and according to Song Jiao's methods, can be considered a good person.

  "Did you kill them?"

  Song Jiao waved his hand and said: "You've all given me so many things, why should I kill them? Let them go, hehe, they don't pose any threat to me."

  Xin Zhaolun said: "If they are people from the secret door, I'm afraid you won't let go of the old man."

  Song Jie said bluntly, "Of course, let them go... Do you want their family's elders to come? Although I'm not afraid, it's troublesome. To avoid trouble, killing is the best choice." He spoke out his inner thoughts without any scruples.

  Lei Xingfeng smiled wryly, this was the true monarch, a true monarch with immense power, truly unscrupulous. In fact, he was genuinely envious, this was the life he had always hoped for.

  "Is the violent wheel suitable for me?"

  Song Jiao smiled and said, "It's extremely suitable. This is a weapon that suits the Thunder Attribute. In the beginning, I re-refined it to make it more suitable for me to use. As a result, after refining it, I found that it was still more suitable for the Thunder Attribute. It's just as well. If not for this reason, I wouldn't have taken it out. You should know how difficult it is for cultivators to obtain a suitable weapon. Until now, I haven't had a fully suitable one."

  "Lei Xingfeng smiled wryly: 'You modified... didn't damage the violent wheel's properties, did you?'"

  Song Jiao shook his head and said, "This is a weapon passed down from ancient times, some of its properties I don't even know about. My modifications haven't changed anything, just added some functions. If you can fuse with it, you'll gain some fire attribute attack abilities."

  "Alright, let's talk about it when I reach level 6."

  Song Jiao said: "If it weren't for me needing the top-grade purple crystal, I wouldn't have been willing to exchange with you. To say the least, you got a great deal."

  Lei Xingfeng was stunned, you are a senior, can you be even more shameless?

  Xin Zhaolun said: "Normal transaction, no one takes advantage of anyone." He helped Lei Xingfeng say a sentence.

  Song Jiao smiled and said: "That's right, fair trade, no one takes advantage of anyone else, as long as it suits yourself, it's the best."

  "Everyone, pay attention... The extremely cold weather is about to end..."

  At this moment, Xin Zhaolun, Jin Daya, Kuang Fu, and Feng Ying all stood up. Song Jiao's face also showed a hint of seriousness. Lei Xingfeng was puzzled: "Since it's over, why the tension?"

  "Little guy, just before the extremely cold weather ends, the temperature will reach its lowest point. As long as we get through this period of time, there won't be a problem. However, at this time, the ice house has reached its limit and needs to be prepared for. In case the room cracks open, we need to plug the leak in time."

  Lei Xingfeng couldn't sit still anymore, in fact his strength was too weak and he couldn't help at all.

  Xin Zhaolun had several masters of the eighth and ninth rings prepare together, each holding a beast skin in their hands. This was the best material for blocking leaks, and with water, it could block any crack.

  A few people stood in each of the four corners, waiting for the extremely cold weather to pass.

  In an instant, the originally howling wind grew even more shrill.

  Hiss... Hiss...

  Mixed with a slight rustling sound, after a while, the voice gradually became clear.

  Crack! Crack!

  The crackling sounds came from all directions, making people's hearts tremble with fear. Leixing Peak's mind was restless, constantly shaking his head and looking around frantically, as the crackling sounds continued one after another, causing people to panic and become disordered.
