Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

Chapter 53 Secret
Lin Lan brought Mo Fan here. At first glance, they saw the corpses of monster birds all over the mountain. To them, it seemed like money was everywhere. "Big Eagle, go and eat whatever you want." The Red Wind Eagle was about to reach the advanced stage recently, so Lin Lan simply let the Red Wind Eagle quickly upgrade by eating meat. The Red Wind Eagle immediately flew to another hilltop for a buffet.

“It would be nice if you could break this little loach into two halves.” Lin Lan murmured as he looked at the little loach. It had always been a weakness for him that he could not absorb a lot of spirit energy when encountering monsters. This was also the reason why he brought Mo Fan with him to hunt monsters.

“Lan Zi, don’t joke around. I’ll help you find a mother pendant. Let’s go. Time is running out and the soul will dissipate.” Mo Fan said and went to absorb the residual soul and essence. Seeing this, Lin Lan also went to collect the tail wings of the monster bird, and put them into the storage space with a sharp knife.

The bodies of the monster birds were covered with wounds caused by lightning. Some of them were still alive. They could not be more dead after being electrocuted and stabbed. It was faster to pick up money than to make 20 at a time.

"Boom~" There was a loud roar and then Mo Fan's scream: "Lan Zi, come and save me, there is a resurrected Steel Feather Demon here." Mo Fan's voice was very loud and Lin Lan heard it and hurried to follow him.

The pitch-black Steel Feather Monster's body turned into steel feathers and countless sharp blades and stabbed towards Mo Fan, "Fiery Fist~Blast the Sky." Mo Fan turned his hands into flaming fists and blasted away all the steel blades in the air. The Steel Feather Monster was now obviously weak and could not last long, and it wilted after a while.

"Sky flash~Thunder~Yaksha." The lightning was as bright and huge as if it struck in the dark night, striking the body of the Steel Feather Demon, causing its whole body to twitch continuously. It avoided the super-level lightning but eventually died under the thunder.

At this time, the thunder mage in the old house in the mountains felt the breath of thunder released by Lin Lan, then walked out of the door and looked in the direction of Lin Lan, muttering: "It is obviously the same thunder as the Thunder Stone, but the power of thunder is far worse than that of the Thunder Stone." Then the super-class mage displayed the wings of wind behind him and flew towards Lin Lan.

“Lan Zi, when I saw the body of the Steel Feather Monster lying on the ground just now, I thought the commander-level spirit was right in front of me. I didn’t expect that this stupid bird would come back to life as soon as I came over.” Mo Fan said happily, and then the remaining spirit flew out of the dead Steel Feather Monster’s body and was absorbed by the little loach.

"This seems to be the first time that the little loach has absorbed the residual soul of a commander-level. " After saying this, Lin Lan couldn't help but think of the time when he was chased by the spy blood poisonous salamander some time ago. Now, only a few months later, a commander-level monster died under his feet. Although he didn't seriously injure it, he could just pick up the residual blood. It was enough as long as the monster head was his.

“My mentality is totally different from that of my second year of high school. At that time, I was being beaten to a pulp by the Phantom Wolf Beast, but now I am already repairing the commander’s sword.” Mo Fan recalled that the ups and downs in life are indeed very interesting.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo~" A mage appeared in the air above the two of them. The wings of the wind were still flapping and blowing the air around them. The two of them looked carefully and realized that this was the mage who used the top-level thunder method. His bright and deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world. His silver hair was gray, but he was energetic. This made the two of them suddenly nervous unconsciously. This was a super-class mage who could kill the sky, the earth, and the air in seconds. His control was at least super-class full cultivation. The thunder that annihilated everything just now seemed to still appear before their eyes.

"Little guy~ It was you who released the thunder just now~" The old man landed on the ground and looked at Lin Lan with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

“I was the one who released the thunderbolt.” Lin Lan replied calmly. If the opponent had been so powerful, he and Mo Fan would have been killed long ago, and the Versatile Mage would have ended early.

"Little guy, release another one for me to see." The old man said to Lin Lan excitedly.

"Sky Flash ~ Thunder Seal ~ Electric Field." A star trail appeared in Lin Lan's hand, and the released lightning formed a minefield with bright white thunder flashing continuously.

"Good, good, good." The old man stared at Lin Lan's thunder in a daze and said three good words in a row, each word sonorous and powerful.

“Lan Zi, how can this old man be so excited when he sees a basic magic with such strong strength~” Mo Fan whispered to Lin Lan with a little confusion on his face. If this old man wants to see it, he can just release two super-level magics as fireworks, which is not as good as this basic magic cube~ Lin Lan fell into deep thought: “This lightning seed of the thunder system should not be caused by the ice crystal bow that releases the fragments of the big heaven seed in other people’s bodies~”

"Little guy, you are very lucky to have the favor of this divine thunder. What's your name? How old are you this year?" The old man praised Lin Lan and then asked two questions that surprised Lin Lan. Isn't this the scene in the immortal cultivation novel? The scene where the protagonist is accepted as an apprentice by the mysterious old man feels exactly the same.

"Lin Lan is 18 this year." Lin Lan still told the truth. "You are so strong at such a young age. You are very good. I can see that you are not from a noble family. You have come this far, which is enough to prove your courage." The old man looked at Lin Lan and praised him repeatedly.

"Old man, are you able to tell other people's identities?" Lin Lan couldn't help but be curious about how this old man could tell that he was not from a noble family. Mo Fan also looked curious.

"Do you even need to ask which young man from a great family would send such a weak helper? It can be seen from the fact that you guys come here to absorb the essence regardless of the danger." The old man stroked his beard and expressed his opinion.

“No…” Mo Fan felt bitter that he could be shot even when he was lying down. He wanted to refute, but it was just a thought.

"The old man is not my helper, he is just my brother. We come here to hunt monsters and make money." Lin Lan explained to the old man.

"Lin Lan, my brother, just continue to absorb the residual souls and look for valuable things. I have some information about the thunder in your body. I wonder if you are interested in listening to it." The old man obviously wanted Lin Lan to tell him something alone. Mo Fan quickly ran away after hearing this. He was eager to leave and feed the loaches.

"Let's go, Lin Lan." The old man put his hand on Lin Lan's shoulder without waiting for Lin Lan to reply. The silver constellation under his feet lit up and he moved in an instant and came directly to a cave.

Lin Lan felt like it took only two seconds to be teleported here. This speed required at least super-level space cultivation. At the same time, he was a little confused as to why someone with the power of space could fly here and teleport back instantly.

In front of me are murals carved on the wall. The content on them shows a group of people kneeling down and praying to a huge lion-like creature. This totem beast fights demons for humans. The murals are constantly changing with the development of the times. Now there is only one person who worships this totem beast. I think it is this old man.

"Old man, why are you showing these to me?" Lin Lan asked the old man.

"Let me tell you a story~" the old man said to Lin Lan, stroking the weathered wall.

"A hundred years ago, our Lei Town didn't have a name. There is a treasure on the Lei Ze Mountain in this town called the Thunder Stone. After absorbing a small part of its energy, a large number of thunder mages emerge in our town every year, and it can also allow a mid-level mage to successfully break through to a high-level level. The Thunder Stone that loses a small amount of energy will absorb the thunder elements between heaven and earth to recover by itself. We also named this town Lei Town because there are many thunder mages in this town."

"One day, a great demon thunderbird with the level of a great monarch came to the town with countless demons. I think it was the thunder that lured it here. The thunder stone also has a huge attraction to demons. Our tribesmen tried their best to stop them but we were still unable to defeat them, and some died or were injured." The old man had a sad face when he said this.

"At this time, Lei Shi appeared. He fought for us humans and fought with the Thunderbirds. In the end, he was defeated by the numerous Thunderbirds under his command and was seriously injured. The mayor of our town gave the Thunder Stone to Lei Shi. It would be better to use it as an investment than to have it taken away. In the end, we won the bet and Lei Shi became the supreme monarch. He severely damaged the Thunderbirds. After that, Lei Shi has been guarding Lei Town in return." The old man also showed some joy on his face.

"Then why didn't you see Lei Shi? Why did you pull me here?" Lin Lan understood the story but still didn't know the purpose of calling her over.

"During the past hundred years, Lei Shi has used the Thunder Stone to absorb the heavenly thunder and restored the origin of the Thunder Stone, and cultivated a darling who was born with the thunder element. During this time, Lei Shi went to the north to find the place with the purest thunder element to give life to the shaped Thunder Stone. He will come back after that. The spiritual thunder in your body is the same as the thunder element on the Thunder Stone. This kind of creature still needs to be cultivated. I think you are the destined cultivator." The old man looked at Lin Lan with a sharp gaze.
