Twenty years later.

Qin Shou entered the third level of the Void Realm and mastered the six elemental laws.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Thunder.

In the courtyard, the laws surrounding the Qin beast intertwined, outlining a large golden array.

It is the Five Elements Defense Formation improved by the Qin Beast.

Using the acupoints throughout the body as the array's core, the Five Elements as its pillars, and the Chaos Golden Elixir as its energy source, the array is constructed within three feet of the body, where the power of the Five Elements flows endlessly.

It must be said that Qin Shou's idea was very bold, and more importantly, he succeeded.

In ancient legends, some people carved 36,000 killing arrays inside their body organs, using their own power to trap and kill countless true immortals. Although the Qin Beast did not directly carve arrays inside its body, it was similar in nature.

The main reason for Qin Shou's success this time was that he possessed one of the conditions that others did not have: he comprehended multiple laws on his own, including the Five Elements Law, which was closely related to the construction of the Five Elements Defense Array.

In addition, there is a Chaos Golden Pill that can continuously provide spiritual energy.

"I can't believe it actually worked!"

A hint of joy and delight flickered in Qin Shou's eyes.

He sensed that his defenses had increased at least tenfold; he was like an impenetrable tortoise shell just by standing there.

"I'm a fucking genius!"

Qin Shou muttered something to himself, then lay down on the bamboo chair under the peach tree and began to rock gently.

By the way, it's been a while since I've posted any filler text~

So, Qin Shou silently opened the attribute panel to check his information.

...

"An 8,000-year lifespan, is that alright?"

"All three sword intents have broken through to the mid-stage of Sword Intent Manifestation."

"His supernatural powers and magical skills have all reached the Great Perfection stage."

"However, we still lack sufficient defensive magical artifacts, making it unsafe to venture out."

"well.........."

Qin Shou sighed deeply, wishing he had hundreds of top-grade defensive magical treasures.

"Master, Master, Little Lightning struck the goose again..."

As Qin Shou was deep in thought, a chubby little girl came running up from the foot of the mountain, huffing and puffing, occasionally looking back at the little lightning bolts that were chasing her.

"Holy crap~"

Upon hearing Yi Cheng's words, Qin Shou instinctively sat up in shock.

Boom!

In the sky, streaks of black lightning chased after Yi Cheng, who was terrified and ran towards his master with panic in his small eyes.

=????=????(●???● |||) "Holy crap! Yi Cheng, don't come any closer! Run down the mountain! If you run fast enough, Little Lightning won't be able to catch you."

Qin Shou shouted loudly.

At the same time, I was very surprised. What on earth was that little black lightning? It looked ordinary, but upon closer inspection, the energy it contained was like a black hole, so huge that it was about to explode.

More importantly, it only chased after Yi Cheng, as if it wouldn't stop until it hit her.

"Does lightning also have assignments, requiring it to strike a few times symbolically before returning as a report?"

Qin Shou couldn't help but chuckle, but he also found it somewhat amusing.

"Ah! Oh, oh oh."

"Master, the goose understands!"

Yi Cheng quickly stopped, turned around, and rushed down the mountain with a yelp.

On this day, in the Great Wilderness, a bolt of lightning kept chasing and striking a chubby boy. The chubby boy was so frightened that he traveled through mountains and valleys, diving and digging tunnels, but he just couldn't shake off the lightning.

Yi Cheng cried out loudly after being struck, and by evening, she ran back up the mountain, her little face pitiful as she complained to the beast Qin.

As a result, Qin Shou coaxed him with the words, "Yi Cheng, if you can shake off this little lightning bolt, you'll be the coolest kid on Turtle Mountain," and he excitedly rushed down the mountain to continue chasing after the little lightning bolt.

"Sister, Yi Cheng got struck by lightning again."

"Yes, I saw it."

"Sister, Yi Cheng broke through her cultivation level after being struck by lightning last time. Is she about to break through again this time?"

"That should be true."

"Sister, Yi Cheng is so lazy, how come she cultivates faster than me?"

"Little sister, you're lazy too."

At this point, Da Mei became somewhat sad. She had clearly worked several times harder than her younger sister in cultivation, but her cultivation level was still lower than her sister's.

My younger sister has already reached the ninth level of the Golden Core stage, while I have only just broken through to the eighth level.

"I'm not lazy, sister."

The chubby boy frowned and retorted.

"Mmm, little sister, you're not lazy."

Da Mei patted Xiao Pang's head.

Little Fatty immediately smiled happily, his big eyes curving into crescents.

"Sister, poor Yi Cheng is being chased by the little lightning bolt. Should we make a wish to help her? I can make the little lightning bolt disappear."

"Sister, Yi Cheng's cultivation level is higher than ours. We should pray that we won't have to endure her tribulation."

"Hmph, sister, I'm the King of Lucky Koi, how could I not be able to conjure up a little lightning bolt?"

The chubby boy pouted and held up the wishing pearl.

"Om Mani Padme Hum, I make a wish to my great ancestors, please quickly turn away the little lightning bolt in the orange..."

Boom!

Instantly, the entire sky was engulfed by black lightning, with bolts of black lightning as thick as towering mountain peaks crashing down like surging black dragons.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The Four Spirits Sacred Array on Turtle Mountain suddenly trembled violently, emitting unprecedented rays of light.

"Holy crap!"

"Hey Fatty, what the hell are you doing?!"

Qin Shou, realizing what had happened, was almost scared out of his wits.

The power of this tribulation lightning seemed to exceed his expectations.

That's bizarre, absolutely bizarre.

When a cultivator undergoes tribulation, if they encounter external interference, the power of the lightning tribulation will increase, but it shouldn't be this exaggerated, right?

They almost destroyed the Four Spirits Sacred Formation!

"I...I just wanted to help Yicheng get rid of the little lightning bolt."

Little Fatty lost her confidence, poking her own hands with her little hands, hiding behind Da Mei, pouting, tears glistening in her big eyes. She had just been frightened to tears by the commotion.

"Don't cry, little sister. It's not your fault; it's my fault for not reminding you properly."

Da Mei hugged Xiao Pang's head and comforted him.

Qin Shou originally wanted to hang Xiao Pang up and beat her, but seeing her pitiful appearance, she was obviously frightened. In addition, she also wanted to help Yi Cheng, so he decided to let her go this time.

However, Qin Shou immediately confiscated her wishing pearl and kept it for her for a while.

Little Fatty felt wronged, but this traitor had been taught a lesson by Qin the Beast many times, and she was afraid that Qin the Beast would hang her under the tree again and not give her food.

"Sister, could you lend me your wishing pearl to play with?"

Little Fatty hugged Big Beauty's waist and acted coquettishly.

"Da Mei, you mustn't lend her your wishing pearl."

Qin Shou scolded from the side.

"Understood, Master."

Da Mei nodded obediently, then hugged the little chubby boy and gently comforted him, "Little sister, the Wishing Pearl is already bound to my soul, you can't use it. If you want anything, just tell me, and I'll conjure it up for you."

"All right. "

The chubby boy pouted, "Then, sister, can you hold me and spin me around? I also want to swing on the swings, and can you push me from behind?"

"good. "

......

It was evening.

The people on Turtle Mountain were eating in front of the mountain.

Little Fatty and Black Rabbit were very happy. Today, they were missing Yi Cheng, the glutton, and the two of them practically ate all the dishes on the table.

"Master, Master, the goose is hungry! The goose hasn't eaten yet! The goose needs to replenish its energy, otherwise it won't be able to run anymore!"

At that moment, a powerful roar came from a great distance at the foot of the mountain.

!!! !!! !!! !!!

Qin Shou was speechless. This guy was undergoing tribulation and still thinking about food. This was unique in the cultivation world.

What will those who are terrified and risk their lives to overcome tribulations think when they see this?

"Here's a bowl."

As Qin Shou waved his hand, the spirit-gathering bowl hanging from Yi Cheng's waist flew back, filled with a large cauldron of rice and several bowls of braised pork trotters.

"Here's your food."

Then Qin Shou gently handed over the bowl, and it appeared in Yi Cheng's arms.

ˋ( ° ▽、° ) "Ha~, thank you, Master!"

"Hachihachihachi..."

Yi Cheng frantically shoveled rice into a large bowl while running at top speed.

After dinner, everyone carried small stools and sat on the hilltop, admiring the sunset on the horizon while watching the figure running merrily through the mountains.

"Little lightning, you're chasing the goose!"

"Catch the goose, and the goose will feed you, goose, goose, goose..."

"Heh."

Seeing this, Qin Shou shook his head with amusement.

"Young Daoist Yi Cheng, you are truly a divine being!"

Master Roshi, standing to the side, seemed to utter a sentiment he had never expressed before in his life.

I still remember that when he was undergoing the Nascent Soul Tribulation, he prepared for more than two hundred years, built more than a dozen large formations, and tried every means to find many defensive magic treasures and talismans.

In this way, his own tortoise shell was almost dried out.

But this chubby little girl in front of him... Master Roshi seriously suspects she's not human, but an animal.

Hmm, I think I'm some kind of animal.

"It's very strange."

Qin Shou also muttered a word in agreement.

But ultimately it's not a bad thing.

brush!

Perhaps feeling that the sunset wasn't bright enough, Qin Shou casually poured out a cup of wine, and the clouds outside Turtle Mountain instantly turned a deep red, as if they had been burned, a poignant and captivating sight.

........

Three days later.

A chubby little girl, her body charred black, stood on the hilltop, her hair standing on end from being struck by lightning.

However, her tiny, beady eyes were exceptionally bright.

The first thing it said upon reaching the mountain was to boast, "Master, the goose chased away Little Lightning! Isn't it the most dazzling little goose on Turtle Mountain now?"

"Yes, you're the most handsome and capable kid on Turtle Mountain!"

Qin Shou gave a thumbs-up in praise.

Then, with a flick of her fingertips, a stream of water flew out from the spirit pool, swirling around Yi Cheng, and she quickly returned to being the clean and chubby little girl.

"Master, go and prepare quickly, we're having a feast tonight."

Yi Cheng ran down the mountain and started calling out to his friends.

Qin Beast: ............"I haven't even mentioned holding a banquet yet!"

"However, it's been quite a while since we've held a feast on Turtle Mountain."

"Hmm... When was the last time? I think it was last month, when Black Rabbit broke through to the fifth level of the Golden Core stage."

Your apprentice, Yi Cheng, has successfully transcended the tribulation; you are rewarded with one "Bronze Luck Card".

......

night.

Turtle Mountain was brightly lit and decorated with lanterns.

Yi Cheng, Black Rabbit, and Little Fatty stood on the hilltop to welcome guests.

Before long, four large brown bears from the Wuyun Mountains arrived first.

Every time a feast was held on the mountain, they would be the first to arrive, even faster and more eager than the Thirteen Demons of Sesame Sauce Mountain, who lived closer to the mountain.

"Wuyun Mountains, I am Xiong Da."

"I am Xiong Er."

"I am Xiong San."

"I'm such a bear."

"Reporting in! Warmest congratulations to Sister Yi Cheng on breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm!"

The four large brown bears transformed into four burly men with honest and simple appearances, immediately standing at attention and saluting Yi Cheng.

Then the leader, Xiong Da, shouted:

"Let's clap!"

Snap!

"Second round of applause!"

Smack! Smack!

"Three rounds of applause!"

Smack! Smack! Smack!

The four large brown bears clapped in unison, the sound deafening, even louder than the gongs and drums in Little Fatty's hands.

Then, the four of them stood in a row and respectfully presented their gifts.

"Thank you, Sister Yicheng, for hosting us and for specially bringing us four jars of honey."

"This is just a small gift, nothing more, but I hope Sister Cheng will accept it with a smile!"

The four large brown bears said with wrinkles in their eyes.

"Goose, goose, goose..."

"Thank you, everyone! Please have a seat!"

Yi Cheng gestured to Black Rabbit to greet them, then continued to stand on the hilltop to welcome the arrival of the Thirteen Demons.

"Goose, goose, goose, the goose gets to receive presents again today!"

Yi Cheng proudly held the little honey in her arms and counted: one, two, two, three.

"Huh? Why are there only three cans?"

Yi Cheng's small eyes widened. "It must have been Xiong Yang who secretly hid a can when I wasn't looking."

"Hmph, just wait till next time, I'll bully him a bit."

Yi Cheng coldly snorted.

Qin Shou, watching from the side, sighed repeatedly.

Yi Cheng's counting ability seems to be innate, and no amount of trying to change it has worked.

Over the years, I've tricked Da Bao into giving me cookies a lot because of this. Sometimes, the two of them would go from being best buddies who were arm in arm sharing a cookie to fighting and wrestling over it.

Several times they almost tore the mountaintop down.

What good ideas did Qin Shou have? He could only grab Little Fatty and beat him in front of them to make them afraid.
