Chapter 51
Is the thunder tribulation in the Spiritual Silence Period as easy as cabbage?
It sounds like it's worthless.
Just as Jitang was about to speak, Shaqi began to show her the way. "There's healing medicine in the first stone cabinet on the left. Look for something edible first."
Jitang came to the first stone cabinet. The stone cabinet was made in the same way as the wooden cabinet, and the door opened and closed very smoothly. It seemed that Senior Wang Shou had put a lot of thought into it.
The stone cabinet was more than one person tall. After it was opened, it was divided into more than twenty layers, each layer filled with healing medicine.
Each bottle of healing medicine had the name of the elixir labeled on it, but not its efficacy. If Ji Tang hadn't studied pharmacology, he wouldn't have been able to find what he needed among the dazzling array of porcelain bottles.
"Can I have it directly?" she asked Sharky.
Shark: "Why not? I'm not really dead. I'll continue to receive the inheritance after I recover. This cave will be mine sooner or later. You can eat it if I ask you to."
It is confident.
Ji Tang found two bottles among the many porcelain bottles, one to repair the wounds caused by spiritual power, and the other to restore the nightmare energy that was overused.
Although nightmare energy cannot be used in the inheritance site, she still needs to prepare herself in advance and be cautious in order to avoid being ambushed by Elder Qiu.
As for the thunder tribulation that Shaqi mentioned, Jitang didn't even think about it. The nightmare energy couldn't be used here, and her physical body alone couldn't withstand the thunder tribulation.
Sharky: "Just these two? There are so many medicines, take more!"
Ji Tang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This is a pill after all, not a candy bean. It's enough that it can heal the wound."
Shark: "If it were someone else, they would put so many precious pills into their storage bag even if they didn't eat them. Besides, I'm just a beast spirit now. Even if you take away everything in the inheritance land, I can't do anything. You can even kill me, and no one will know..."
"Stop, stop, stop. Do you have any paranoid delusions?"
"To be honest, I still have to rely on your sea of consciousness for shelter. If you bring more things, I will feel better."
Jitang smiled: "These are enough, you don't need to think so much."
Sharky said maturely, "You have no greed, which is good."
Jitang cooperated, "Alright old man, that's not an exaggeration. There are many people like me."
Ji Tang spent a week practicing and healing. Although she knew how to leave, it was inconvenient to leave with injuries on her body, so she simply stopped worrying.
This character of seeking stability in everything was learned from my senior brother.
She checked herself and found she was fine. Seven days had passed since she entered the inheritance site, and Elder Qiu should have returned to Weihai Palace by now, allowing her to move around more easily.
Seeing her about to leave, Shaqi stopped her and said, "Didn't we say we were going to survive the thunder tribulation here?"
Ji Tang spread his hands: "Without the nightmare energy to resist, how can I survive the tribulation with just my physical body?"
"My sturgeon shark clan has always been good at strengthening our physique. If we don't call ourselves masters in this area, who would dare to? I've previously taken a quick look at the body-building exercises that Senior King Beast left behind. It's much more powerful than what I've practiced—as worthy of our clan's ancestor in the Fusion Stage. I plan to start practicing this technique after I transform back into beast form. It just so happens that I'm well-versed in body-building, and since you need it, I can also guide you in your practice. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
Ji Tang was confused, "You want me to learn a new technique from scratch here? Forget it, it will take a long time before I can get out." By then, her senior brother would be anxious.
Shark Qi: "If I learn this technique from you, I will definitely be able to pass it on. Don't you already know how difficult it is for my sturgeon shark clan to advance to a higher level?"
It would be a lie for Jitang to say he wasn't moved, "But..."
Sharky: "What else are you worried about?"
Ji Tang: "This is the technique that Senior Wang Shou left for his successor. I have no known master, so how can I learn it? Moreover, since it is such a powerful technique, it must be very difficult to learn. I can't stay here for too long."
"I thought you had some concerns, but they're all trivial matters. Senior, by leaving you a trace of your spiritual power, you've recognized me. While the technique is powerful, it's not the core of the inheritance. You helped Senior first, then saved me, and you've done me a favor. I've always said that the inheritance land will be mine sooner or later. So how can I let you learn the technique without a proper teacher?"
"Oh, if you want to take me as your master, that's fine!"
Ji Tang: "Thank you but no need, I have a master."
Shark Qi said with a tut, "If you don't want to worship, then don't worship. As for you being worried about it taking too long, there's no need to worry. The senior's cultivation method has reached the sixth level, and it can withstand the thunder tribulation from the split spirit to the fusion body. You are only from the Heart Beat Stage to the Spirit Silence Stage, the first level is enough."
Jitang became more and more excited.
If she learns this technique, her body will be strengthened, and she will have an extra life-saving skill when she crosses levels and overcomes tribulations in the future.
This is the body-building technique practiced by Senior Wang Shou. Considering the special characteristics of the sturgeon shark clan, you can imagine that this kind of technique is rare in a thousand years. It is a great opportunity for her to be able to come into contact with it.
Ji Tang no longer hesitated: "I'll learn!"
Shark knew this was the answer. "I have some experience in body training. I can give you some guidance when you practice."
Jitang nodded: "Thank you."
Shaqi didn't waste any time. "The inheritance site itself is a very good place for cultivation. If you refine your skills to the first level here and then overcome the tribulation, even if you run into Elder Qiu, wouldn't you have a better chance of survival than now?"
It instructed Ji Tang, "The technique is on the ninth floor of the third stone cabinet. Go get it."
When Jitang opened the stone cabinet as Shaqi said, she saw the cultivation techniques placed on each layer. She didn't look at them for long, but only took out the ninth layer of techniques that Shaqi mentioned.
She weighed it; it didn't feel heavy like paper or parchment, and she couldn't tell what it was made of, but it was very light in her hand, and felt as thin as a cicada's wing when she opened it.
There is no natural light in the place of inheritance, and it is quite dark overall. There is a night-shining pearl placed at intervals along the stone wall for lighting.
Ji Tang moved closer to the night pearl, so that he could clearly see the lines of small characters of the martial arts technique. On the far right was written the five big characters "Lei Hua Body Tempering Art", which was the name of the martial arts technique.
"Lei Hua..." Ji Tang asked dryly, "Isn't that what I think it means?"
Sharky, watching the fun, laughed: "That's probably what it means!"
Jitang smiled without any emotion, but his heart was already trembling with fear.
The purpose of practicing this technique is to resist thunder disasters, and the process of practicing it requires one to endure the baptism of thunder and lightning, which is really a fitting conclusion.
Shark: "Thunder and lightning are things to worry about later. You need to improve your physical fitness first."
Ji Tang: "How to improve?"
"I have many exercises to strengthen your body. Let's try them one by one! Look at your frail body. You should at least have more muscles! Only with thick skin and flesh can you have a chance of surviving the thunder tribulation. Your delicate skin and flesh will be cooked directly by the thunder tribulation. It smells delicious."
It noticed Jitang's hesitation and asked, "Why, are you worried about being too tired?"
Ji Tang shook his head and complained, "I'm afraid it will become ugly."
Sharky: "...Just pretend I didn't ask."
Afterwards, Jitang began the brutal training phase.
As Shark said, he seemed to have endless experiences to share and endless training methods to learn.
A month passed in a flash, and Jitang clearly felt that the soft flesh on his body had become much firmer.
Her cultivation level in the Heart-beating Stage was not enough to practice fasting, so going to the sea to catch fish every day became part of her training. There were still some fire starters and charcoal in the stone cabinet at the inheritance site, and the charcoal was still usable. Every time Ji Tang grilled fish, she would think of Senior Wang Shou. Thanks to the senior's foresight, she would not starve to death.
Jitang practiced all the time in the place of inheritance. After another two months, the lines of his body became more and more obvious.
At first she was worried that a bulky figure would not look good, but now she feels that a tight and well-shaped figure is more beautiful. Seeing that she did not become the big body she imagined, she finally felt relieved.
She has been working hard for the past three months, doing everything she can and using every available object. The basic training has finally come to an end.
Shark was quite satisfied with her. "Next, I'll be using lightning to truly strengthen my body."
Ji Tang subconsciously looked at the nine lightning pillars standing at the edge of the inheritance site.
She didn't know what these nine pillars were used for before. They were supposed to support the place of inheritance, but the height of the pillars could not reach the top.
It was during training that I heard Shark say that this was the Nine Thunder Pillar, and it was placed here to cooperate with the Leihua Body Tempering Technique.
Senior Wang Shou really worries about his successor.
Sharky: "Go, to the center of the Nine Thunder Pillars."
Shaqi asked Jitang to get the water-repellent pill early in the morning, but it only came in handy now.
Although the Water-Repellent Pill has the word "Pill" in its name, it is not a pill to be taken orally. As long as you keep the Water-Repellent Pill close to your body, it will exert its effect.
Jitang put the water-repellent pill into his clothes and went into the water.
She was a little cautious at first and only dared to float on the sea surface. After Sharky urged her several times, she held her breath and went into the water.
Shark: "It's hard to break through conventional thinking, but you can't not break through, right?"
It always speaks to the point.
Ji Tang prepared herself mentally, but her clenched fists betrayed her.
After a long time, Ji Tang finally mustered up the courage. She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath through her nose.
She's not drowning, she's still breathing!
Ji Tang opened his eyes in surprise, patted his chest, and said in his mind: "This is really a good thing!"
Sharky: "Of course!"
When Jitang thought of the Nine Thunder Pillars, fear quickly appeared in his eyes.
Every difficulty had to be overcome. Ji Tang hardened his heart and no longer hesitated. Following Sha Qi's instructions, he swam to the center of the Nine Thunder Pillars and went in decisively.
The moment she entered, the center of the formation suddenly lit up.
Jitang floated to the surface in the bright light.
Ji Tang really admired himself for using lightning to strengthen his body in the water.
She looked up and saw a strong beam of light shooting out from the top of each of the nine thunder pillars, converging at the top of the stone at the place of inheritance.
Thunder roared and lightning flashed blindingly. The thunder and lightning were like a ferocious beast that had just been released. They roared down without giving Ji Tang any time to breathe.
The path of cultivation is full of difficulties and dangers; if you don’t move forward, you will fall behind.
She couldn't fall here.
"Do you also want to become an immortal?"
"I am from the Nightmare Clan, how can I become an immortal?"
"Why can't the Nightmare Clan become immortal?"
Why can't the Nightmare Clan become immortals?
Ji Tang took the heavy blow from the Thunder Dragon.
Who said the Nightmare Clan can’t become immortal?
Burning, tearing, numbness, chaos.
All of Ji Tang's timidity and fear turned into determination and fearlessness in the face of the thunder dragon's ravages.
Her starry eyes are full of spirit.
She wants to become an immortal together with her senior brother.
