Tailing felt extremely frustrated. Since he was sucked in, he had been floating. After all, he was a master of the Fifth Ring True Body, but here he was only slightly stronger than others, and definitely not as free as Leibao. It wasn't until the violent sandstorm swept him along that he entered the Wheel Storage Space, instantly buried in the sandstorm. Since the sand had not yet settled, he found it difficult to exert force and thus could not move freely.
However, he still managed to find a few items, but with countless items in sight, he couldn't collect them freely, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
The others were in a similar situation, rolling in the sandstorm, struggling helplessly. Those with good luck managed to get a few items, while those with bad luck didn't even touch a single thing. Jin Dapang was the most unfortunate. As soon as he entered the Wheel Storage Space, he saw over a dozen items about a hundred meters away. Before he could be happy, he was completely swallowed by the sandstorm, and everything became chaotic. He didn't even know where he had drifted to.
Leibao and Leixingfeng discovered an item emitting a faint light. Leibao carried Leixingfeng and flew over. They were already at the edge of the sandstorm.
As Leibao flew past the glowing object, Leixingfeng detached from Leibao's back, lunged for the item, and grabbed it. Leibao quickly flew away, and the sandstorm instantly swallowed the spot. Leibao asked, "What is it?"
Leixingfeng had already stored the item in the Wheel Storage Space and said, "No time to look, I've already put it away."
At this moment, it wasn't suitable to check their gains but to continue collecting various items. This opportunity was too rare, and there were too many items inside. Most of them were various materials, which were good, but compared to the finished items, these materials were less important.
Leibao and Leixingfeng had already agreed on the order of collecting items. The most important were various cultivation techniques, followed by finished items, especially those for combat and defense. Then came various rare materials, and finally, any items they encountered that they could grab easily.
The two searched back and forth, while the sandstorm behind them continued to expand rapidly, gradually covering the entire space. It was unknown how much sand and soil the Wheel Storage Space had absorbed, and the entire space was filled with a deep, rumbling sound that was both low and awe-inspiring.
Leixingfeng understood that this operation would yield the greatest gains for his grandfather and himself. Even with the greatest gains, the items they collected would only account for one or two percent of the Wheel Storage Space's treasures. Out of a hundred items, they could take one or two, which was already quite good.
The only consolation was that the items they obtained were absolutely the best. With Leibao's expertise and knowledge, they chose only the finest items, especially the rare cultivation techniques and various tools, ancient cultivators' potions, and many extinct plants and minerals for making potions, as well as the blood and bones of many star beasts, all of which were extremely precious. Whenever he saw something, he would call Leibao over.
Four days later, the entire space was filled with sand and soil, and everything was hazy beyond a few meters. At this point, they started collecting the floating items around them without being selective, taking whatever they could.
On the eighth day, a deafening roar echoed, and all the sand and items quickly fell, forming large sand dunes. Many items were buried in the sand, including Tailing and the others, who were also buried. However, they were happy because they could now exert force. They struggled to dig out of the sand and frantically collected the items around them, beaming with joy.
When the sky cleared and almost all the items had fallen, Leibao and Leixingfeng remained in the air, witnessing a peculiar scene.
Two objects emitting a dazzling light were rapidly moving in the air.
Leixingfeng shouted, "What is that? Quick, chase it!" He instinctively knew it was something good.
Leibao's pupils contracted to pinpoints. Without hesitation, he carried Leixingfeng and lunged forward. He recognized what it was, and his heart pounded like a drum. It was refined electric thunder plasma, a legendary substance with rare spiritual properties, trying to escape the Wheel Storage Space.
Leixingfeng exclaimed, "Strange... that thing... can escape!"
Leibao gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, it has spiritual properties... it's electric thunder plasma! My chance for breakthrough is that thing!" His voice trembled.
One large and one small, the two clumps of electric thunder plasma darted around in the air, and Leibao carried Leixingfeng in pursuit, forming a very peculiar scene.
Jin Dapang climbed out of the sand dune and saw a large piece of metal on the sand. He was overjoyed and grabbed it. It was a rare refined metal that could help him smoothly forge a wheel weapon, with even some left over. Just as he put it away, he heard a thunderous sound from the sky and looked up to see this peculiar scene. He exclaimed, "What the heck is that!"
Tailing finally obtained a high-quality item he desired, a rare seal weapon. If he advanced again, he would become a Seal True Person, and he indeed needed a seal weapon. Even if this seal weapon didn't match his attributes, he could still trade it with others. His frustration subsided, and he began to search for items frantically.
Everyone had some gains, but many were also injured. One Ten Thousand Wheel Master was unfortunately buried at the bottom of a sand dune and couldn't escape, dying a tragic death.
Leibao's cultivation was unfathomable. He had always hidden his true strength, not telling anyone, not even Leixingfeng. His speed increased, and Leixingfeng was almost suffocated by the rope. However, he knew that his grandfather was at a critical moment, so he held onto the rope tightly without a word.
Finally, Leibao caught up to the electric thunder plasma, about ten meters away. He reached out and a large hand of lightning appeared, grabbing the clump of electric thunder plasma. Without hesitation, he swallowed it. Then he reached out and grabbed the other, smaller clump, which was about the size of a grapefruit compared to the larger one, which was the size of a pig's head.
Leibao shouted, "Open your mouth!"
Leixingfeng involuntarily opened his mouth wide, not because of the order but because of the shock of seeing Leibao eat the electric thunder plasma.
Leibao grabbed the smaller clump of electric thunder plasma and compressed it to the size of an orange, then forced it into Leixingfeng's mouth. As soon as it touched Leixingfeng's lips, it slid down his throat.
Leixingfeng felt as if he had swallowed a ball of fire, burning all the way down. He covered his mouth and said, "Grandfather... this..."
Leibao's face was full of smiles as he said, "Don't worry, don't worry. You are a single-wheel seal of the lightning element. Others would be burned to ashes, but you will be fine. Ha ha ha ha!" He was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He was now confident he could continue to advance.
With this clump of electric thunder plasma, this trip was absolutely worth it. As long as he had time, he was certain he could rapidly improve. Any other items were insignificant in comparison.
Leixingfeng didn't yet realize the great benefit he had received, but seeing Leibao so excited, he knew he had gained something, though he wasn't sure what it was.
Electric thunder plasma is refined from natural lightning by great cultivators and is highly refined. If a lightning element cultivator absorbs it, they must have a lightning seal, meaning they must be at least a Sixth Ring True Body Seal True Person to swallow it, or they would be burned to ashes.
Leixingfeng could swallow the electric thunder plasma at the Secret Wheel Master level because he had obtained a lightning seal at the beginning of his cultivation and had fused it with his body.
Leibao, knowing his grandson's background, dared to let him swallow the electric thunder plasma. The benefit was indescribable, laying a solid foundation for Leixingfeng's cultivation, which would allow him to achieve great development. Electric thunder plasma is a high-quality item that only great cultivators can produce. Leibao and Leixingfeng began to suspect that the owner of the Wheel Storage Space was most likely a lightning element cultivator.
Having obtained the electric thunder plasma, Leibao was satisfied and landed with Leixingfeng.
A whistle sounded, and everyone quickly gathered.
Leibao said, "Everyone, listen to me. Then we will continue searching for items and treasures."
Gelu said, "Alright, everyone, pay attention."
Leixingfeng curiously looked at everyone. Jin Dapang limped over, and Leixingfeng couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Dapang... ha ha ha ha!" He couldn't resist; the guy looked so miserable, covered in sand and dirt, with sweat streaks on his face, his eyes blinking, and his eyelashes coated with sand. His hair was unrecognizable.
Jin Dapang said, "Laugh, laugh... I saw you flying around in the sky. If I had a grandfather like yours, I could also be impressive." His tone was full of envy and jealousy.
Leixingfeng smiled and asked, "How did you do?"
Jin Dapang immediately became proud. He knew he had struck it rich. Advancing to a True Person and forming his own True Body would likely be no problem. Cultivation mainly depends on talent, techniques, and resources. His talent and techniques were fine, but he lacked resources. The treasures he obtained this time, whether materials or other items, could be used to exchange for what he needed.
Tailing checked his subordinates and found a few missing, which made him uneasy. He immediately ordered them to search for the missing ones later.
Qi Xuan, Du Hongchen, and Wen Yan all had good gains, though they were also disheveled, covered in sand and dirt, but their faces were full of smiles.

A friend said, if you don't ask for votes, you won't get any. Alright, I'll ask for votes, even though I grumble that asking too much can make people numb... but I still have to ask for votes.
