Chapter 60

The disciples of Hengshan Hall had seen the world, but for the Lei Guang Hall, a single spirit stone could lead to murder for profit. It was easy to imagine that the appearance of so many spirit stones could drive people mad.

Wang Meng sighed inwardly. This was cultivation; resources determined success and failure. These people were not unwilling to work hard, nor were they unwilling to fight for Lei Guang Hall. They simply lacked the ability. Most importantly, they could not see any hope, and over time, they had become like this.

At this moment, Hu Jing stepped forward, "Brothers and sisters of Lei Guang Hall, these are the spoils of the hall battle. We have decided to share them as cultivation resources for Lei Guang Hall. Soon, we will announce specific methods for distribution. In the future, we will also set up some tasks that only the main disciples of Lei Guang Hall can undertake. Moreover, for those who excel and progress rapidly, we will provide spirit stone rewards with no conditions, as long as you are a disciple of Lei Guang Hall!"

After Hu Jing finished speaking, the many disciples of Lei Guang Hall fell silent, unable to believe their ears.

The hall battle had nothing to do with them. The victors could handle these spirit stones as they pleased, and they were actually going to share them???

"We, Lei Guang Hall, may currently be inferior to others, but don't forget, no matter where we go, we are disciples of Lei Guang Hall. Others may look down on us, but we cannot look down on ourselves. One day, we will make all those who look down on us regret it!"

At this moment, Zhang Xiaopang was the most passionate and inspiring, a trait passed down in his family.

For a moment, the discrimination and frustration they had faced while traveling were suddenly released in a resonant outburst.

Others can look down on us, but how can we look down on ourselves!

There is hope!

Miracles can be created!

Especially when hope is right before us!

The entire Lei Guang Hall was stirred. Due to Xu Huang's departure, the three of them were in low spirits, and Wang Bo often lost his temper. When the news reached their ears, the three elders were stunned.

They were elders, their masters!

What had they done all these years!

From beginning to end, they had become elders only to gain more cultivation resources, and of course, for the prestige. Had they truly regarded Lei Guang Hall as their own glory?

Hu Jing's decision made the three elders feel somewhat ashamed.

Hu Jing and Zhang Xiaojiang, as the leaders and direct disciples of the elders, were clearly going to be very busy.

Lei Guang Hall needed a leader. Zhao Guang's departure was a blow, but now Hu Jing had emerged, with her ice and fire combination talisman array, stunning the Holy Hall, and achieving it at just the twelfth level. With a large number of spirit stones as support, Hu Jing had become the implicit leader of Lei Guang Hall, and many disciples were willing to listen to her.

Some people were dedicated to cultivation and might be unsuitable for such matters, but Hu Jing was a natural leader, handling relationships and affairs with ease and order. Moreover, there was the enthusiastic Zhang Xiaopang to assist her, and Zhou Qian had also changed, willing to take the initiative to do things.

People can change.

Wang Meng, on the other hand, was drinking tea and playing chess with Zhou Feng, enjoying a peaceful time.

"Kid, you are the most special person I've ever met. When I was young, I loved to be in the spotlight."

"Old Zhou, your distraction tactics are terrible. Why don't you just surrender? You're going to lose no matter what."

Wang Meng smiled and leisurely sipped his tea, having gotten used to the quality of Zhou Feng's goods. Anything less was hard to swallow.

This was probably the difficulty of returning to a simpler life after a life of luxury. In his previous life, he had no distractions other than cultivation, and this was a completely new experience.

And this was indeed a worldly experience, a rich life. Without understanding how to be a complete person, how could one become a deity?

"Kid, you're too arrogant. I am known in the Holy Hall for my expertise in both alchemy and chess!"

Zhou Feng propped his chin up, staring intently at the chessboard. After a while, he raised an eyebrow, "You kid, you really don't know how to respect your elders. At least give me some face."

"Haha, Old Zhou, if I let you, you probably wouldn't be happy." Wang Meng laughed.

"Tsk tsk, you kid, you're really something. With you around, Lei Guang Hall does have hope. But you guys really butchered Hengshan Hall this time. They probably won't let this go."

Zhou Feng stopped looking at the chessboard and relaxed, savoring his tea.

Wang Meng shrugged indifferently, "When the enemy comes, we will meet them. Hu Jing and Zhang Xiaojiang can handle it. Moreover, Lei Guang Hall is not as weak as others think; what it lacks is cohesion and hope."

"That makes sense, but why do I get the feeling you're planning to leave?"

"I have that in mind. I want to go out and see the world." Wang Meng didn't hide it.

"Kid, I know you have exceptional talent, but your yuan force level is still too low. Outside, unlike in the Holy Hall, those stronger than you can rob you, and those weaker can scheme against you. That's why I've preferred to stay in the Holy Hall and refine pills all these years. The outside world isn't fun."

Zhou Feng said with a deep sense of feeling.

Wang Meng smiled, thinking that Old Zhou had probably suffered a loss.

"Old Zhou, didn't you say I'm still young? When you're young, you need to see the world."

"Haha, that's true. A sword cultivator can't hide like a pill cultivator." Zhou Feng laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Old Zhou, you seem a bit off. Is there something bothering you? I've eaten your food and drunk your tea, so I can at least be a free listener."

Zhou Feng smiled bitterly, "You kid, you're really straightforward. Damn it, it's because Lu Yun, that woman, always competes with me. She got some ancient pill formula from somewhere and insists on competing with me."

Lu Yun was also an elder of the main hall, and she and Zhou Feng had been at odds for a long time. As for the gossip, it was unknown.

"What ancient pill formula? If it's convenient, show it to me."

Wang Meng smiled.

"You kid, this thing is written in ancient inscriptions and mixed with strange symbols. The worst part is that it's missing a piece, making it impossible to understand."

"Even better, let me take a look."

Zhou Feng didn't care, pulling it out of his spatial bag and slapping it on the table, "This is the broken thing. I have one year to decipher it, or I'll have to give up my position as the head alchemist."

Wang Meng took it and examined it for a moment, "Hehe, why did you accept the challenge?"

Zhou Feng was a bit embarrassed, "Cough, well, there's a bit of a backstory. Anyway, I can't refuse a challenge, but if I can't figure it out, I'll be under her thumb, and I won't have a good life."

"This is just making things difficult for you. Simple, I'll burn it for you, and that will be the end of it!"

Saying this, Wang Meng lit a fire, and Zhou Feng didn't stop him, "You kid, this treasure can't just be burned. Besides, I, Zhou Feng, fear no one."

But the ancient formula, made of some unknown material, really caught fire. Zhou Feng was stunned and immediately lunged to grab it, "My God, you're trying to kill me!"
