A few more days passed, and Shen Sanruo felt that the contract with the snake woman was getting stronger and stronger, estimating that she was about to successfully break through.

Sure enough, that afternoon, many people felt the tremors from the tribulation.

The commotion caused by breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage was quite significant, attracting people from hundreds of miles around to stop and watch.

The discussion raged as to who had acquired another Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

The thirty-six lightning tribulations continued until evening. Shen Sanruo suddenly felt her cultivation level increase significantly, and knew that the snake woman had successfully broken through.

He smiled slightly, waiting for the snake woman to return.

The thunder and the storm clouds gradually dissipated, and then a beam of light shot out from the mountaintop.

They headed towards Ninghua Sect at an extremely fast speed.

The restrictions of Ninghua Sect did not prevent the light from entering the sect; once inside, the light transformed into a giant black serpent.

Each scale has intricate and mysterious patterns, and shimmers with a faint light.

Oh right, there's also a Kui Niu that fainted from being afraid of heights wrapped around its tail, leaving a purple trail behind it.

The serpent's body soared through the sky, its aura as a great demon in the Nascent Soul stage was overwhelming, and the disciples below who looked up couldn't help but hold their breath.

Following the contractual connection, the snake woman landed directly in Shen Sangruo's cave.

The snake's body vanished, transforming back into that innocent and adorable little girl.

She ran quickly into the arms of Chen Sangruo, who had been waiting for a long time, and threw herself into her arms, "Sister~ Xiaoshi is back."

"Xiao Shi is already a powerful demon in the Nascent Soul stage."

Ye Huai, Song Weiyan, Bai Ruoan, and Su Xiyu were also present, their eyes all fixed on Xiao Shi.

"It's truly unbelievable that such a little girl is already a Nascent Soul cultivator," Song Weiyan remarked, stroking his chin.

Even though he had formed a pact with Xiao Shi, Shen Sangruo still felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing Xiao Shi like this, constantly thinking of the snake woman's face and feeling inexplicably out of place.

But she still reached out and caught Xiao Shi, and then immediately put her down.

"Was the breakthrough successful? These are some nourishing pills I prepared for you. They're perfect for nurturing your meridians after a breakthrough." She handed Xiao Shi a porcelain bottle.

Xiao Shi took it and said happily, "Everything went smoothly, thank you, sister."

"Where's the Kui Niu?" Shen Sangruo asked when he didn't see the Kui Niu.

Xiao Shi held the porcelain bottle in both hands, treating it like a precious treasure. "That cow is behind us; it fainted because it's afraid of heights."

Making a grand entrance always comes at a price.

Although she wasn't the one who paid the price, and the one who enjoyed the domineering aura wasn't the Kui Niu.

Following the direction indicated by Xiao Shi, Chen Sangri saw the Kui Niu lying limply like a tortoise.

Noticing her gaze, the Kui Niu waved its hooves shakily at her, then struggled to stand up.

"It helped Xiaoshi a lot, and in the end it even helped Xiaoshi withstand half of the lightning tribulation," Xiaoshi said happily.

So that's how she ended up treating it?

The Kui Niu gritted its teeth and raised its hooves again at Xiao Shi.

Although the cow hoof gesture was not clear, Shen Sangruo inexplicably felt that it was the middle finger.

However, she did sense that Kui Niu's cultivation level had also improved considerably.

Seeing that the Kui Niu struggled for a long time but could not stand up, he directly put it into his sea of ​​consciousness and comforted it.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kui Niu."

Then, changing the subject, he said, "But soon, you'll have to share the burden of the tribulation again."

Kui Niu: "Moo?"

What?

Shen Sangruo calmly replied, "Because I feel that I'm about to break through as well."

Upon hearing this, her four senior brothers and sisters reacted even more strongly than Kui Niu.

Dear senior students: !!!

"So fast? How long did it take you to break through to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and you're about to break through again?" Bai Ruoan asked in surprise.

Shen Sangruo replied with a smile, "I haven't been cultivating much lately. It's all thanks to Xiaoshi. I guess I've been leeching off her cultivation."

First, they searched for treasures in the Starry Plains. After returning, they settled the treasures and established various rules and regulations.

Without Xiao Shi, she estimated it would have taken her quite some time to make a breakthrough.

"Junior Sister, I have something to attend to, so I'll head back first!" Song Weiyan couldn't sit still any longer and made an excuse to leave.

Among Immortal Lord Changli's disciples, he currently has the lowest cultivation level.

Junior Sister is already close to breaking through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, while he is still in the late-Golden Core stage.

How could this be allowed? Before Shen Sangri became Immortal Lord Changli's disciple, they all said they would protect their junior sister well.

Now, however, if Shen Sangruo stood alone in front of them, she would be able to protect them all completely.

This doesn't make sense, does it?

No, no, he needs to go back to cultivate, right now!

If we don't hurry up and cultivate, we might not even be able to see the hem of our junior sister's skirt anymore!

"Junior sister, I suddenly remembered that my alchemy furnace is broken and hasn't been repaired yet. Senior sister will also head back first."

"Junior Sister, I forgot to water the Blood Tears Jade Bamboo, so I'll take my leave now."

The group was quite agitated and made excuses to leave.

Ye Huai appeared calm and composed, but in reality, he was the fastest walking among the four.

He only said one sentence, "See you later, junior sister."

He then drew his Shadow Sword, flew on it, and soon even his shadow disappeared from their sight.

No one understands the pressure he faces as the senior disciple.

The other three people who walked stood there dumbfounded.

Song Weiyan: "Damn it, Senior Brother, you have no martial ethics! You actually used your sword to run away!"

The three of them then hurriedly left, afraid of falling behind even a little.

Since they can't catch up with their junior sister anyway, they absolutely cannot be the ones with the lowest cultivation level among the five!

The group inexplicably became more diligent in their training, even more so than before the incident.

Shen Sangruo watched their departing figures, feeling both amused and exasperated, and could only say, "Senior brothers and sisters, please be careful on your journey."

The Kui Niu was happy to help her withstand the tribulation lightning; it was naturally pleased that she broke through.

In any case, it can also improve its cultivation level, and her lightning tribulation is a more concentrated and purer power for it.

He was completely different when he was helping Xiaoshi carry things.

Who let that snake fly it like a kite? Humph.

So what if its cultivation level is higher than itss? Among Shen Sangruo's contracted beasts, it is her senior in terms of seniority!

After the four senior brothers and sisters left, the cave became quiet.

Xiao Shi also returned to her sea of ​​consciousness. Since Zhu Miao could not enter her sea of ​​consciousness, she curled up and rested in a small nest to the side.

The giant insects loved to play with Ji Zicang's contracted beast, so she sent them to the Beast Taming Division along with the Speed ​​Snails.

This way, they can be fed and cared for by dedicated personnel.

She picked up the ancient book on spiritual magic that the Taoist priest had given her, and prepared to read it.

The cultivation room and Linglong Pavilion are expected to take another two months to complete, and there's basically nothing else to do.

During this time, Shen Sanruo practiced the spell of extracting the soul in the cave.

Using the method Ya Lan used to extract her soul from her memory, the snake woman and the Kui Niu took turns being her test subjects.

In preparation for the Flying Cloud Sect's public verification of Bai Mumu soon, she would definitely not let Bai Mumu escape this time.
