After breaking through to the second Thunder Rune stage, Lingyun's strength had increased by another large amount.

With his current strength, he was no longer afraid of Mortal Stage Level 3 berserk beasts. Thus, Lingyun decided to explore the depths of the Azure Thunder Mountain Range for a distance.

In the direction that Ling Yun was heading, there was a [Thunder Cave Mountain].

Many of the younger generations from influential clans in the Azure Thunder City would gather here to cultivate.

This was because in the mountain, there was a strange thunder-attribute vicious beast — the Golden Thunder Lizard.

Some of the stronger Devouring Gold Thunder Lizards could produce [Lightning Stones], which could be used to refine the [Yuan Armor] through special cultivation techniques.

Elemental armor was like the scales' defense of a wild beast. It could provide a strong defense for a martial artist, and compared to the scales of beasts of the same level, it was only stronger.

Lingyun had been looking forward to the mountain for a long time, and now, he finally had the power to explore it.

Lingyun hunted fierce beasts on the side of the road, honed his martial arts, and rushed towards the Thunder Cave Mountain.

"..."

In the middle of the night, the beasts in the Azure Thunder Mountain Range roared in all directions. The stars in the sky scattered, flickering with light. It was truly a beautiful scene to behold.

Lingyun travelled day and night, and was almost at the Thunder Cave Mountain.

Suddenly, Ling Yun's gaze locked onto a direction in front of him.

As the Saint Thunder Crossing Disaster Formula became more and more profound, Ling Yun's perception of lightning origin energy became increasingly strong.

From that position, Ling Yun could sense more than ten thunder-attribute martial artists.

Furthermore, they were even practising the Green Thunder City's Ling Family's Natal Art: Lightning Force Detection Art.

Ling Family? "They should be going to the mountain to hunt down the Golden Thunder Lizard. I still don't know the method to refine the Primeval Armor, so I might as well join them for now."

On an open space in a forest.

More than ten young disciples of the Ling family were surrounding a bonfire, taking a short rest.

A beautiful girl with bright eyes and white teeth was clearly the center of the group. She was the daughter of the Ling Family's Patriarch, the little princess of the Ling Family, Ling Nanqin.

There was also a handsome young man, he was the strongest member of the team, his name was Ling Rong.

Ling Rong was the same as Ling Yun, born in the Ling Family's side branch, but the difference was that Ling Rong's side branch was much stronger than Ling Yun's side branch!

Ling Rong was already at the peak of the fifth level of the Mortal Origin Stage, and was not far from breaking through to the sixth level.

Suddenly, Ling Rong shouted towards the dark forest, "Who's hiding there? Scram!"

Ling Yun walked out of the darkness.

"Don't worry, I'm from the Ling Family."

"My name is Ling Yun." Ling Yun gracefully introduced himself to the Ling Family disciples by the bonfire.

"Ling Yun? Wasn't that the infamous trash from the side branch?! Haha! I heard that you have yet to step into the first level of the Mortal Origin Stage and are about to be chased out of the Ling Family. "

The moment Ling Rong opened his mouth, the rest of the men also started to sneer at him.

Ling Yun's Saint Thunder Crossing Disaster Art far surpassed the Heaven stage, so these people could not see the fluctuations of his cultivation. Only those with a cultivation level higher than Ling Yun would be able to see through him.

Thus, in their eyes, Lingyun was still the famous trash without any elemental energy.

Only the little princess of the Ling family, Ling Nanqin, did not laugh. Instead, she sized up Ling Yun with a pair of bright eyes.

Although she could not sense the elemental energy within Ling Yun's body, she had more thoughts than those people.

In the face of such a dangerous night, could it be that the person who managed to penetrate deep into the Azure Thunder Mountain Range was an ordinary person?

Ling Nanqin smiled brightly and said: "Ling Yun, sit down. Welcome to us."

Lingyun nodded. The Ling family's little princess had a good reputation. Seeing her today, Lingyun couldn't help but have a good impression of her. He smiled at her and picked up an empty seat to sit down.

As for the mocking and ridicule from Ling Rong and the rest, he did not take it to heart at all.

"Humph!"

Ling Rong snorted loudly.

He liked Ling Nanqin, and this was already a semi-public secret. Thus, when he saw Ling Yun and Ling Nanqin interacting a little intimately, he became jealous!

"Are you here to refine Yuan Armor as well?" Ling Nanqin asked.

"I'm just testing my luck. I still don't know the refining method of the Yuan Armor." Ling Yun answered honestly.

"Humph, he's just a piece of trash without any soul force, and he's even talking about refining origin armor. Isn't he afraid that others will laugh at him?" Ling Rong squinted his eyes and said to Ling Yun.

"Alright, we are all members of the Ling Family. Don't carry the gun with you when you speak." Although Ling Nanqin was young, she had the demeanor of a lady. Her every move carried a noble aura, and no one dared to refute or disobey her.

Although Ling Rong was an elite in the side branch, he did not dare to act rashly in front of Ling Nanqin, the young direct descendant princess. He only had a grudge towards Ling Yun in his heart.

After conversing with Ling Nanqin for a while, Ling Yun found a big tree and started cultivating as fast as he could. This caused Ling Nanqin's eyes to light up.

The night passed in silence.

On the second day, Ling Yun and the rest continued on their way to the Thunder Cave Mountain.

By the time they arrived at the outskirts of the mountain, there were already some young Golden Thunder Lizards appearing one after another.

However, these Golden Thunder Lizards that were below the third level of the human-step didn't have any thunderstones in them, so even if they killed them, they wouldn't be of much use.

"The Gold Devouring Thunder Lizard is shaped like a lizard, but its body is huge and cruel." The Gold Devouring Thunder Lizard is shaped like a lizard, but it is huge and fierce.

Lingyun was secretly analyzing the Devouring Gold Thunder Lizard.

"I'm afraid that the Frenzied Bull's Fist won't be able to cause any fatal wounds to the Devouring Gold Thunder Lizard, so I can only rely on the Lightning Splitting Saber. Maybe it will work."

"..."

Not long after, a huge black stone mountain appeared in front of Ling Yun and the others.

Dense black clouds shrouded the mountainside. Thunder rumbled from the dark clouds, and lightning flashed from time to time.

This was the Thunder Cave Mountain, which was famous throughout the Azure Thunder Mountain Range.

On the surface of the Thunder Cave Mountain, not a single blade of grass grew.

"Everyone, be careful. Those caves are where the Gold Swallowing Thunder Lizard is hiding. It's possible that the Gold Swallowing Lightning Lizard is hiding in each of these caves." "We will only hunt at the foot of the mountain. This area only has some Golden Thunder Lizards that are below the fifth level of the human-step. We can still deal with them."

Ling Nanqin warned again and again: "Do not leave the team, do not take the risk to enter the danger zone! Please do what you can. "

Under Ling Nanqin and Ling Rong's lead, they stepped onto the rocky Thunder Cave Mountain.

Lingyun followed behind the team and thought: "With my strength, I should be able to kill a peak-level third-level human-step Thunder Lizard. If I can obtain a single Thunder Stone, I can condense an elementary level armor. After I obtain a better quality Thunder Stone, I can then refine it to raise the level of my Essence Armor."

The group chose a large cave and entered it.
