Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 382 Hidden Thunder Spirit
This old Taoist was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, but he directly addressed Ning Fa, a foundation-building cultivator, as a fellow Taoist. Surprisingly, this did not feel abrupt or awkward.

Ning Fa looked at the old Taoist priest and found that he was not that old actually, but his gray hair and tattered gray cloth gown made him look that old.

His actual age looked to be around fifty years old, with a thin face, even handsome.

His eyes were not cloudy like those of his peers, but rather clear and bright.

Ning Fa even had a feeling that he was seen through by him at a glance, which made him feel secretly terrified.

Ning Fa frowned slightly, and finally understood why Ning Zhongyuan said that this old Taoist looked mysterious.

With his powerful spiritual sense, he could indeed sense that the old Taoist was only at the seventh level of Qi training.

But his intuition told him that this old Taoist was not that simple, and it even made him feel dangerous.

"I don't know your name, fellow Taoist. It seems we have never met before. I wonder why you came to see me specifically?" Ning Fa asked slowly.

"I almost forgot my own name. You can just call me Tianyi Jushi. As for the purpose of coming to see you, fellow Taoist..."

After saying this, Taoist Huishan looked at Ning Zhongyuan and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Ning, please step aside for a while. I have something to discuss with fellow Daoist Ning Fa alone."

Ning Zhongyuan hesitated for a moment, and Ning Fa gave him a reassuring look, and then Ning Zhongyuan got up and left.

The old Taoist Huishan led Ningfa to the main hall.

The girl in the yellow skirt wanted to follow with curiosity, but the old Taoist turned around and said to her, "Xuewei, you can't come in either."

The girl pouted and glared at him angrily, then ran to the stone bench in the yard and sat there sulking.

The two came into the house.

"I'm sorry that I have made you laugh at me, fellow Taoist." The old Taoist stroked his beard and smiled bitterly, but there was a look of doting in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Mu looks very young, but he is already in the late stage of Qi training. His aptitude should be very good, and he will have a good chance of building a foundation in the future." Ning Fa said with a smile.

The old Taoist laughed, as if Ning Fa's praise of the girl in the yellow skirt made him very happy.

"Fellow Daoist Tianyi, what exactly do you want to talk to me about? Can you tell me now?" Ning Fa asked directly to the point.

The smile on the old Taoist Huishan's face disappeared, and he stared at Ningfa with sharp eyes.

Then he snapped his fingers, and a gray light flashed, and an elliptical gray light barrier enveloped the two of them.

Ningfa's pupils shrank slightly.

The Taoist's move seemed ordinary, but it gave him a strange feeling that he could only watch and was unable to stop it.

He knew that the old Taoist had deliberately shown him his skills, which made him even more wary of this man.

What was even more bizarre was that the gray light barrier was right in front of him, but even with his powerful spiritual sense he was unable to penetrate it.

"Don't worry, my friend. It's just that what I'm going to say to you next needs to be kept very secret."

The old Taoist Huishan said this with a smile, then the smile disappeared and he stared at Ningfa with burning eyes.

Then he said something that shocked Ningfa:

"Fellow Daoist Ning, do you know that you don't have a defective thunder spirit root, but a very rare spirit body?"

Ning Fa's pupils shrank suddenly and his heart shook violently.

The first thought in his mind was, could it be that this mysterious Taoist Tianyi already knew the secret of his Five Elements Thunder Body?

how can that be!

Ning Fa even had the idea of killing someone to silence them.

“Haha, it seems that fellow Taoist has already known that I have the [Hidden Thunder Spirit Body], and now he even has murderous intentions towards me.”

The old Taoist in gray robe said this with a smile, seemingly not worried at all.

Ning Fa relaxed instantly. He was so frightened that he thought the mysterious old Taoist knew about his five-element thunder body.

But he immediately thought of something, and his heart, which had been relieved, was lifted up again.

Because this hidden thunder spirit is also extraordinary and of great importance.

Ning Fa, who was more familiar with this spirit, had already revealed his murderous intent without any concealment.

Because this kind of hidden thunder spirit body was also described in the Tianji Lingjuan.

This is a very strange spirit.

Because it sometimes disappears and sometimes exists, this is also the origin of the word "hidden" in its name.

When the spiritual body is not visible, the cultivator's aptitude is worse than that of a cultivator with five spiritual roots, and it is difficult to make progress even in the cultivation of the fourth-level spiritual veins.

And when the spiritual body appears, the aptitude for cultivation is even slightly higher than that of natural spiritual roots.

It also provides a significant boost to the practice of various thunder attribute techniques.

In this respect, it can be regarded as a weakened version of the Five Elements Thunder Body.

But the problem is that this hidden thunder spirit will switch back and forth between appearing and disappearing.

It is very likely that this month is the stage of manifestation, and the next year will be the period of non-manifestation of the spirit.

The time span may even be larger, for example, the first hundred years are in the manifestation stage, and the next thousand years are when the spirit body does not appear.

There is absolutely no pattern to follow.

If a cultivator who possesses a hidden thunder spirit body spends most of the first few decades in a stage where the spirit body is not visible, then he is in trouble.

Because in this case, it is very likely that even the foundation cannot be established.

Even if the spirit body appeared later, the monk's body would have been too old by then, and even with excellent qualifications, it would be useless.

Or even if they advance to the foundation-building stage, it will be difficult to advance to the Jindan stage due to the irregular switching of the spirit body.

Finally, when the life span is almost over, the spirit arrives late, and there is nothing that can be done to change the fate.

It was recorded in the Tianji Lingjuan.

A cultivator with a hidden thunder spirit body finally cultivated to the peak level of the late fusion stage.

The monk was very lucky, as the time period for the switching of his spirit body was perfectly timed.

It happened that he manifested his spiritual body at the right stage, so as not to delay his advancement to a higher realm, and he cultivated smoothly all the way to the fusion realm.

According to his summary of his practice over the past tens of thousands of years, he found that the time for spirits to appear and disappear was almost half and half.

So he speculated that the disappearance and appearance of the hidden thunder spirit was generally 50-50, but the time length was extremely long.

It is difficult for ordinary cultivators with hidden thunder spirit bodies to have such good luck as him.

Moreover, even if he had such good luck that he could make the spirit disappear and appear just right and advance all the way, he might not be able to stop the covetousness of other monks.

Because this hidden thunder spirit body is like the five elements thunder body, it also plays a significant role in weakening the power of natural tribulation.

Therefore, in the spiritual world, those high-level monks who would do whatever it takes to fight against the heavenly calamity would naturally flock to the monks who possess hidden thunder spirit bodies.

Once the news leaks out, there will be a mad scramble to cultivate this cultivator with hidden thunder spirit body to a certain level so that he can fight against the heavenly calamity for himself.

This ability to weaken the heavenly tribulation also has a miraculous effect on the ascension tribulation of these divine monks from the lower world who are surviving to the spiritual world.

This is also the reason why Ning Fa showed his murderous intentions.
