Chapter 33 - Unconventional
"Bam!"The two brothers Xiang Jinghong and Xiang Jinghong, who were originally smiling vulgarly, suddenly heard a loud crash from the door as well as a deep, thunderous noise. One of them hugged a box as he turned to flee while the other quickly picked up the <>< good="" care="" potion=""> > and stuffed it into his arms!
Good heavens, the brothers" reactions were really fast, as if they were doing business in a black market. When they were suddenly surrounded by police, both the seller and the seller immediately ran away!"What are you two doing!" At this moment, another shout came from the door!
The two brothers looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall, burly man with thick eyebrows and sword-like eyes. He wore a tight, sleeveless robe and was staring at the room with a pair of bright, shining eyes."Big brother!" Upon clearly seeing who it was, Xiang Jinghong couldn"t help but shout out in surprise.
When Xiang Yun saw this person, he was also stunned. He immediately called out with a somewhat displeased expression, "Big Brother."
The person who came was none other than the eldest son of the King, the current third rank General Jin Wu of the State of Feng Yun, Xiang Jinglei!
Xiang Jinglei shot Xiang Yun a glance, saying a little unnaturally, "Hmph, is Third Bro here as well?"
This big brother did not like him … This was something he had long since known, moreover he had been bullied quite a few times by this fellow. Seeing that he did not want to bother with him, Xiang Yun was happy that he had nothing to do, and he also did not want to bother with him.
"Big brother, when did you come back?" Xiang Jinghong asked, a little astonished."I just arrived this morning. I went over to see my father for a while, and only then did I come to see you. I heard that you"ve already advanced to the peak of the Yellow Cloud Realm. When are you going to break through to the Mystical Cloud Realm?"
Xiang Jinghong shook his head rather helplessly, "How could it be that easy? I"ve only just reached the peak of the Yellow Cloud Realm, and have only just touched the threshold of the Mystic Cloud Realm for a year or two. As for you, you"ve already reached the peak of the Yellow Cloud Realm a year ago.
Xiang Jinglei nodded his head and said: "I am indeed showing signs of advancing, but I should have to wait for about half a year before being able to officially break through to the Mystical Cloud Realm!"Hearing the conversation between his two elder brothers, Xiang Yun could not help but be speechless, thinking to himself, "Truly, comparing oneself to others is infuriating, my two elder brothers are both geniuses with forty spiritual roots. Now, one is 21 years old, the other is only 20 years old, the both of them have actually reached the peak of Huang Yun, a level that ordinary people would never be able to reach in their entire lives."
"On the other hand, I only have a pitiful spiritual root and have just reached the realm of Eryun. There is simply no way to compare with them. The difference is like the difference between a commoner in a city and a millionaire."
Xiang Jinghong seemed to have noticed the awkward expression on Xiang Yun"s face as he said to him, "Big brother, since Third Brother is here, let"s not talk about this for now. We haven"t seen each other for a long time. Why don"t we sit down and drink a little?"
Hearing this, Xiang Jinglei shot Xiang Yun a cold glance, saying, "Second Brother, we"re talking about us, so there"s no need to worry so much. Since some people won"t listen, just get out by yourself.""Big brother!" Xiang Jinghong called out with a heavier tone. He could sense that Xiang Yun"s expression was rather unsightly.
"Humph, alright, let"s not bother about him for now. Second Brother, I"ll show you something good!" Xiang Jinglei suddenly said to Xiang Jinghong.
"What good stuff?"
Xiang Jinglei"s face flashed with a hint of glee. He pulled his hand to his waist and removed a heavy black cloth bag. The cloth bag was placed on the table, and it actually emitted a dull "bang" sound, as if a heavy piece of cloth weighing over a hundred kilograms fell onto the table.Even Xiang Yun, who had been watching from the side, felt it strange, his gaze focused on that black bag.
"This is?" Xiang Jinghong looked at the black cloth sack in confusion.
Xiang Jinglei mysteriously smiled and gently opened the cloth bag. His hand reached into the cloth bag and pulled out the things inside!"Chi chi chi!"
Almost at the same time the object was taken out, a piercing sound came from within the room, as if it was the sound of flowing electricity. Soon after, a round object that was like a silver ball appeared in Xiang Lei"s hand, it was about the size of a baby"s head, shining with a silver light, and when he took it out, it almost instantly illuminated the entire room with a silver light.Just like a slithering silver snake, it leaped, rolled, and flew up and down. Although it was three or four meters away, Xiang Yun could feel that his face had become slightly numb, as if a slight electric current was being transmitted from the air to his face.
"What a magical thing!" Xiang Yun could not help but sigh in his heart.
The eyes of Xiang Jinghong, who had been staring at the silver sphere in Xiang Jinglei"s hand, first flashed before he immediately focused his eyes and sized it up for a moment. Suddenly, Xiang Jinghong exclaimed, "This is a Heaven Thunder Crystal!"
"Hehe, good kid. You actually recognized this thing. Not bad, this is a Heaven Thunder Crystal!" Xiang Jinglei nodded in satisfaction."Big brother, I heard that this thing can only be found in the depths of the forest, where the lightning is concentrated and the rain falls endlessly." Big brother, I heard that this item is only found in the depths of the forest where the lightning is concentrated and the rain is endless.
Xiang Jinglei said with a displeased expression, "I was lucky enough to find this thing. Half a year ago, I was at the western border and was ordered to capture a group of bandits. These people hara.s.s the people at the border all day, and their methods are cruel.
"At that time, I led an ambush to besiege them. I didn"t expect these people to be so tough. They actually wanted to break out. I ordered some people to behead them on the spot and kill almost all of them. Only one of them managed to escape."
I"m worried that if this fellow comes back after escaping, I"ll chase after him alone. The leader of the bandits is riding a seventh grade Cloud Beast, and it flew very fast. I chased him all the way to a precipitous cliff, abandoned my horse and caught up to the cliff.
"This Heavenly Thunder Crystal was obtained from that bandit leader. He has all sorts of good things, and among them, this Heavenly Thunder Crystal is the most valuable. You know that I cultivate a lightning-attribute cultivation technique."
If this thing can be used to create a spear, it can at least increase my fighting strength by twenty percent! " Xiang Jinglei"s face was filled with uncontrollable joy.
If Xiang Jinglei were to increase his combat strength by one to twenty percent, it would be no different from adding wings to a tiger; his combat strength would increase by an enormous margin!
Hearing this, Xiang Jinghong"s eyes couldn"t help but reveal a look of envy, "Big brother, you"ve really gotten lucky. Such a treasure can not only increase your combat prowess, it might also increase your comprehension of thunder-attribute cloud power. When the time comes, it"ll be more beneficial for you to break through the bottleneck of the Mysterious Cloud Realm!"
"Haha, not bad, not bad!" Xiang Jinglei laughed like thunder, not concealing his glee in the least, as he said to Xiang Jinghong, "Second Bro, previously, you and I could have fought for over a hundred rounds without losing. Now, if you had a spear made from Heavenly Thunder Crystals, then you"d no longer be my match!"
Xiang Jinghong was rather helpless hearing this, as well as unwilling. Although it wasn"t too important for both of them to be strong or weak, as men of the Xiang Family, and also geniuses who cultivated cloud energy, who didn"t want to be even stronger? Now that Xiang Jinglei had a fortuitous encounter with him, while feeling happy for his big brother, Xiang Jinghong was also a little envious, why didn"t he have such good luck!"Hehe, number two, don"t be discouraged. Heavenly Thunder Crystals are something that can only be found and not sought after. You don"t have to be envious of me." When Xiang Jinglei said this, he seemed to be comforting his second brother. However, everyone could see the latter"s complacent expression.
"So it"s just a piece of Heaven Thunder Crystal. I thought it was some kind of amazing treasure. Is it even worth being so happy over?"
Just as Xiang Jinglei was feeling pleased with himself as he looked at his younger brother"s envious and helpless white face, an extremely discordant voice resounded within the room!
"Hmm?" Xiang Jinglei"s dazzling eyes instantly shot towards Xiang Yun who was standing to the side. He was sitting on a stool, casting sidelong glances at the latter. There were only the three of them in this room. Without guessing, one could tell that those words were spoken by Xiang Yun.
"You stinking brat, do you know what a Heavenly Thunder Crystal is? If you don"t have something that can see through, you would dare to stand on the side and speak excessively, belittling the value of Heavenly Thunder Crystals!" Xiang Jinglei looked at Xiang Yun with a cold, indifferent gaze that carried a strong sense of contempt, completely unlike the care and affection he had for Xiang Yun."Brother Xi, I"m sure that third brother has never seen this thing before and doesn"t know its value. Saying this is just an unintentional mistake, so you don"t need to care." Xiang Jinghong hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
"Hmph, since you don"t know, then don"t say it. Otherwise, don"t say anything that you don"t know about. You"ll be laughing and humiliating us Xiang Family members, saying that our majestic Xiang Family still has an existence that we don"t know about." Xiang Jinglei had no intention of sparing Xiang Yun. Instead, his words were sharp and filled with ridicule!
"Hehe." Faced with the mockery and reproach of his elder brother, Xiang Yun, who was sitting on a stool, crossed his legs. He laughed coldly, his eyes similarly filled with ridicule and contempt!"What are you laughing for!" Xiang Jinglei coldly scolded, glaring at Xiang Yun. He didn"t know why, but Xiang Jinglei felt that seeing his third brother today was somewhat different from the past.
He seemed to be in a much better mental and physical condition than before, no longer dispirited, his eyes unsteady and his feet weak. Although the latter was still sitting there slouching, but he was full of energy and breathing.
However, this was not what surprised Xiang Jinglei the most. What surprised him the most was that his third brother usually hid like a mouse when he saw a cat.Today, this kid saw that he actually dared to swagger his legs and sit there calmly. What made him even more surprised was that the latter still dared to interrupt and belittle his hard-earned treasure - the Heaven Thunder Crystal. This was truly abnormal!
Faced with his big brother"s glare and cold scolding, Xiang Yun merely waved his hand calmly, signalling for the latter to stay calm, before shifting his gaze to his second brother, Xiang Jinghong."Second Brother, I didn"t come empty-handed this time. I even gave you a great gift. Since Big Brother is also here, let Big Brother broaden his horizons." A playful smile was on Xiang Yun"s face.
However, Xiang Yun"s words caused Xiang Jinghong to jump in fright as he shot Xiang Yun a meaningful look, indicating that the boy should not act rashly. As Xiang Yun"s closest second brother, he naturally knew of his third brother"s character.
However, his big brother was present at this moment. If Xiang Yun were to take out another book of considerate medicine or something related to the affairs of the wind and flowers and the moon, with his big brother"s violent temper, wouldn"t he be able to go crazy on the spot and slap this brat flying?
"Forget it, forget it, third brother, big brother"s Heavenly Thunder Crystal is truly a great treasure. Don"t take your things out to make a fool of yourself, don"t let big brother laugh. Alright, let"s not talk about this anymore, let"s talk about other things …" Xiang Jinghong really wanted to change the topic.
This was because Xiang Jinglei was currently staring at Xiang Yun with his large bronze bell eyes, a cold, mocking smile on his face as he said, "Second Bro, don"t block him. I really want to see what our most promising Third Bro in the Prince"s Mansion can take out to broaden my horizons and broaden my horizons."
What was even more infuriating to Xiang Jinghong was that Xiang Yun was actually also looking at Xiang Jinglei, his face filled with pride as he said, "Big Brother, you can be at ease with this. My things are guaranteed to be more valuable than your Heavenly Thunder Crystals. You can open your eyes and take a good look!"
