Chapter 342 – A Very Generous Gift (2/2)
“What’s wrong little Yu?” The old turtle asked when he saw Lei Yu’s shocked expression.
Lei Yu shook his head, “Oh, no, nothing. I’ve gained some understanding of the situation so thank you senior, for explaining everything.”
“It’s nothing much, most likely those in the senior generation all know about this.” The old turtle smiled.
“I heard today was senior’s birthday?” Asked Lei Yu.
“Indeed it is. I had originally not wanted to make a big deal out of it but that kiddo Guman, who I’m favorable towards, wanted to do something for me so I couldn’t reject his well wishes.”
Lei Yu’s hand shimmered and a large piece of light blue crystal stone appeared. Lei Yu was planning to use this to cultivate while outside of the Devil King’s Castle. Now that he found out it was the old turtle’s birthday and there wasn’t anything else he could bring out, Lei Yu decided to pull out the crystal stone from his Universal Pouch.
“This is a small appreciation from me so I hope that senior accepts it.” Lei Yu smiled.
Looking at this two meter long, half a meter wide, and about twenty centimeter thick crystal stone, the old turtle’s eyes became round and wide. “Such a big piece of crystal stone… and it’s even a blue crystal stone!”
Lei Yu lightly smiled. “I can sense that senior is struggling at the edge of the late Soul Splitting stage. You never know, this item might be the necessary catalyst allowing you to make a breakthrough.” From the very beginning, Lei Yu had already sensed the old turtle’s strength. The currently Lei Yu even has the ability to sense someone’s strength all the way to the late Boundary Transition stage now.
“Where did you get this crystal from? And such a generous gift, there’s no way I can accept it! This is like the ultimate treasure of all cultivators! Also… also there’s such a large portion of it!”
The mouth of the old turtle was saying this, but his eyes had never left the crystal a single time. It looks like he was really eager to have such an item but was just embarrassed to accept it.
Lei Yu could see through the old turtle’s desire. “Don’t worry, this crystal stone wasn’t stolen or robbed from someone. I still have some left over for myself so I hope that senior doesn’t continue to decline it. This is considered a gift for your birthday, okay?”
“Then… then I can only thank you with sincerity! This old turtle has been stuck at the late Soul Splitting stage for a while now and has never been able to find enough spiritual energy to make my breakthrough. Especially when the underwater environment here is rather weak in the gathering of spiritual energy. Now that you’ve given me such an item, it’s similar to sending me coal during a snowstorm!” The old turtle excitedly said.
Lei Yu’s eyebrows went up; the Immortal World also had the saying of sending coal during a snowstorm?
The old turtle excitedly received the crystal stone. If Lei Yu had brought out the purple crystal stone instead of the blue crystal stone, most likely the old turtle would be so excited they he wouldn’t be able to sleep for several days.
“Oh right little Yu, why did you come to the eastern sea region? And how come little Hu isn’t with you?” Asked the old turtle.
“I have an important task to take care of and couldn’t bring him along. But don’t worry, big brother is cultivating very seriously and had already reached the Nascent Soul stage.” Lei Yu replied with a smile.
“Nascent Soul? This short decade and he’s already reached the strength of the Nascent Soul stage?” Lei Yu’s words had shocked the old turtle once again. One needs to know that in order to break through to the Nascent Soul stage from the Gold Core stage; it required a long amount of time. Apart from time, it also required a continuous hard work without a break in order to successfully accomplish it. The old turtle couldn’t believe that Nuo Hu would have the strength of a Nascent Soul expert in such a short time.
