BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 502: Thunder Venerable! A Deal!

Chapter 502: Thunder Venerable! A Deal!

The defenses atop Thunder Mountain were far stricter than in other parts of the Wind and Thunder Mountain Range. Near the mountain’s base, numerous figures with various forms of Dou Qi wings could be seen patrolling the skies.

However, the location where Gu He was positioned was entirely beyond the patrol range of these Wind and Thunder Pavilion disciples.

Gu He swiftly ascended to the mountaintop. Before long, a vast plaza appeared beneath his feet. The plaza was constructed from the same silver trees that were abundant on Thunder Mountain, giving it a dazzling silver sheen. The surface had several pits and dents, suggesting that it was frequently used by Wind and Thunder Pavilion disciples for training.

The most striking feature of the Thunder Mountain summit was the massive silver tower. The tower stood at a height of at least thirty to forty zhang, its grandeur unmatched. Lightning flickered continuously around its surface, and its pinnacle pierced directly into the clouds, radiating an aura of profound mystery.

At this moment, on the highest level of the silver tower, a silver-clad figure sat cross-legged.

This person was tall, appearing to be in his forties or fifties. A strand of silver-white beard adorned his chin, and he wore a silver robe embroidered with intricate lightning patterns that flowed as if alive. Faint arcs of thunderous energy emanated from his attire, filling the air around him.

Suddenly, in front of this seated silver figure, the space violently distorted.

Sensing the anomaly, the silver-robed man abruptly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock and fury.

"Who dares trespass upon my Thunder Mountain!" His thunderous roar erupted like an explosion, sending waves of overwhelming pressure throughout the surroundings.

Inside the various levels of the silver tower, numerous meditating figures were startled awake, their expressions filled with confusion.

"That's the Venerable’s voice—what’s happening?"

"An outsider dared to trespass on Thunder Mountain and even provoked the Venerable’s wrath!"

"Let's go! We must find this intruder immediately!"

In an instant, countless figures shot out from the silver tower, scanning the surroundings, while others rushed toward the disturbance from outside.

At the tower’s highest level, under the sharp gaze of the silver-robed man, a white-clad figure slowly emerged from the distorted space.

The moment Gu He stepped out of the void, he smiled lightly and addressed the silver-robed man. "Hehe, Thunder Venerable, no need to be agitated. I have come to make a deal with you."

As he spoke, Gu He waved his hand, sealing off the tower's pinnacle entirely, severing it from the outside world.

Thunder Venerable, seeing this, immediately struck out with a thick silver lightning bolt, launching it fiercely at the invisible barrier. However, to his astonishment, despite the sheer power within the bolt, the barrier remained utterly unmoved—not even a ripple appeared upon impact.

Realizing the sheer strength of the seal Gu He had casually placed, the fury on Thunder Venerable’s face instantly faded, his expression shifting.

This man was far beyond his expectations.

Without further hesitation, Thunder Venerable retracted his anger and, with a trace of skepticism, asked directly, "What kind of deal do you propose?"

Seeing this, Gu He wasted no time with further explanations and got straight to the point. "I’ve come to Thunder Mountain for one purpose—to exchange something with your Wind and Thunder Pavilion for the cultivation method of the Earth-tier movement technique, Three Thousand Lightning Phantom Body."

"What? You want the cultivation method for the Three Thousand Lightning Phantom Body?" Thunder Venerable repeated in disbelief. "Do you not know that the Three Thousand Lightning Phantom Body is a secret technique of my Wind and Thunder Pavilion, never to be passed outside? Do you really think I would agree to this?"

"Thunder Venerable, you will agree," Gu He replied with a confident smile and a nod.

"Your cultivation is indeed strong, but this is Thunder Mountain—the headquarters of my Wind and Thunder Pavilion. Countless disciples are stationed here. If you think you can take it by force, then—"

"Thunder Venerable, you misunderstand," Gu He interrupted calmly. "Since I called this a transaction, I naturally wouldn’t resort to such crude methods."

Thunder Venerable’s voice was cold, but before he could finish, Gu He had already cut him off.

"How do you intend to trade?" Thunder Venerable asked again. This time, however, there was a noticeable hesitation in his tone.

"A single eighth-tier pill that has endured the Five-Colored Pill Thunder—would that be a satisfactory exchange for the cultivation method of the Three Thousand Lightning Phantom Body?"

As Thunder Venerable watched, a white jade bottle suddenly appeared in Gu He’s hand.

"An eighth-tier pill tempered by Five-Colored Pill Thunder!"

Thunder Venerable’s heart trembled at Gu He’s words. Although the Wind and Thunder Pavilion ruled over the Northern Region, this land was poor in resources, and true eighth-tier alchemists were practically unheard of.

As the Pavilion Master, Thunder Venerable had only consumed two eighth-tier pills in his entire life, and even those were of the lowest quality within the tier.

But now, the pill that Gu He was offering had survived the trial of Five-Colored Pill Thunder—an extraordinary eighth-tier pill, one of the finest of its kind.

The Three Thousand Lightning Phantom Body was indeed precious, but Thunder Venerable had long since mastered it. For him, exchanging a single copy of its cultivation method for such a pill was hardly a loss.

Moreover, he could faintly sense that Gu He’s strength far surpassed his own. If he refused today, he feared that things would not end well.

After a brief but intense deliberation, Thunder Venerable gave a heavy nod and responded loudly, "Fine, I agree to your terms—but I must verify the authenticity of the pill first!"

Gu He chuckled at the response. With a thought, the jade bottle in his hand opened, releasing an overwhelming fragrance that instantly filled the topmost level of the silver tower. A moment later, a deep purple pill slowly floated out.

"This is the cultivation method for the Three Thousand Lightning Phantom Body!"

After carefully inspecting the pill in his hand, Thunder Venerable confirmed its authenticity. Without hesitation, he tossed a silver scroll toward Gu He.

After handing over the scroll, Thunder Venerable suddenly formed a seal in his palm and said, "This contains the key to unlocking the Three Thousand Lightning Phantom Body scroll."
