The intensity of this golden light far exceeded that of ordinary Nascent Soul stage golden light. Perhaps because two geniuses were undergoing tribulation together, the intensity of this tribulation greatly surpassed that of a normal Nascent Soul tribulation, thus making the Heavenly Dao rewards after passing through it even more generous.

Lin Daozi, who had just been crying and cursing, suddenly froze.

The golden light descended? They knew all too well what the descending golden light meant; it signified that the person undergoing tribulation had successfully passed the lightning tribulation, and the golden light was the reward given by the Heavenly Dao for passing the test.

Does this mean... does this mean Lu Shenzhi didn't die? He's still alive! He successfully survived his tribulation?!

Lin Daozi hurriedly checked Lu Shenzhi's pulse again and probed Lu Shenzhi's meridians with his divine sense. He still had no pulse, but spiritual energy was circulating in his meridians at an almost invisible speed.

His cultivation level had already reached the Nascent Soul stage. Moreover, perhaps due to the golden light, there were some shimmering golden spots in Lu Shenzhi's meridians. These spiritual lights danced and seemed to be stimulating the flow of spiritual energy.

Having already survived the tribulation, and with his Nascent Soul stage cultivation and the nourishment of abundant golden light, Lu Shenzhi's injuries were gradually healing. His complexion had visibly improved considerably, and his breathing had gradually stabilized.

Moreover, it is nourished by mysterious spiritual light.

The second biggest beneficiary of the golden light was naturally Shi Xuan. When Lin Daozi examined her meridians, he was surprised to find that although her body was tattered, she had actually advanced to the ninth level of the Golden Core stage.

As for the injuries, with the powerful support of the "All Things Grow" energy, Shi Xuan's healing was naturally a given, and his breathing had already stabilized.

Finally settling down, Lin Daozi and Shi Mingxiu realized the benefits of the golden light they had just witnessed. This magnificent light was far superior to ordinary golden light; even with their cultivation levels, they could feel some benefit, and their whole being felt refreshed and invigorated.

This surprised and delighted the two of them. The golden light was so powerful that, given Shi Xuan and Lu Shenzhi's gains and abilities, they should recover quickly.

The two masters brought the two unconscious disciples back to the main hall of Fuyu Peak. Shi Mingxiu, unusually generous, released a spirit-gathering array, allowing the two unconscious genius disciples to rest and recover within it, hoping they would wake up soon.

Lin Daozi moved a prayer mat and sat beside the two disciples, staying by their side at all times. To their relief, their complexions were visibly improving even while they were unconscious.

By noon the next day, Shi Xuan was the first to open his eyes, and the first thing he saw was his master's concerned gaze.

Shi Xuan's first words were, "Master, Senior Brother, he..."

"He's alright, don't worry," Lin Daozi quickly explained. The young disciple appeared to have seen Lu Shenzhi before he fainted, and must have been terrified.

Upon hearing that Lu Shenzhi was not dead, Shi Xuan lay back down.

The body's repair is not yet complete. Previously, all things repaired themselves automatically, but now that I have awakened and gained self-awareness, the repair speed has become even faster.

An hour later, she had the strength to get out of bed.

The internal organs and meridians are still in a damaged state, but they are getting better and better.

Shi Xuan glanced at Lu Shenzhi beside him, clicked his tongue twice, and thought to himself that this senior brother, after all this commotion, actually looked worse than when he was in a coma for ten years. He's really too weak and can't handle any more stress.

"How are you feeling, Xuan'er?" Lin Daozi asked.

"It's alright, I feel good now, and I should be fully recovered soon." Shi Xuan said, taking out two potent rejuvenating pills and giving one to himself and one to his senior brother.

Then Shi Xuan probed Lu Shenzhi's meridians. After a moment, Shi Xuan raised an eyebrow in confusion. Within his senior brother's meridians, faint specks of golden light appeared, and those specks seemed to possess a great deal of sentience. Shi Xuan remembered that these golden lights were not present before the Nascent Soul Tribulation.

So, the origin of these golden lights remains a mystery. But they seem to be of benefit to the eldest brother, and perhaps he will be able to escape this calamity thanks to these golden lights.

Lin Daozi was pleased to see one of his disciples had regained consciousness.

He still remembered Shi Xuan's first day at the Lianfeng Sword Sect. She stood in the central square and said: "The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and Man escapes one." The little disciple was an indomitable spirit, perfectly suited to the cultivation world. With her, wasn't it a blessing for Lin Daozi?

Thinking of this, he said softly, "This time, your senior brother's matter is all thanks to you. I have a little item here, you can take it and play with it."

Lin Daozi took out the gift he had spent a day thinking about and handed it to Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan accepted it with a smile that made his eyes disappear.

Every time an elder gives her something, she has a delighted expression, which is really endearing. Compared to feigned politeness and mutual refusals, elders love this kind of cheerful child the most.

Lin Daozi presented an unidentified stone, and it was unclear whether it was metal or a real stone.

The stone shimmered with golden light, which was Shi Xuan's favorite color.

When Shi Xuan received it, he almost dropped it.

Shi Xuan is a cultivator to some extent, and he has already mastered the second half of the Sacred Bone Technique. Yet, even someone as skilled as Shi Xuan almost failed to hold onto this stone.

The stone was only the size of a fist, but it was unexpectedly heavy, heavier than any material Shi Xuan had ever seen. It was as if a small mountain had been compressed to the size of a fist.

Shi Xuan was very surprised; just by looking at the material, he could tell it was a good thing.

"What is this?" Asking questions when you don't understand is a standard virtue for a disciple.

Lin Daozi shook his head and replied, "I don't know either. I obtained this in a high-level secret realm. It looked quite substantial, so I brought it back. I haven't been able to use it for many years. Now that I remembered you are also skilled in weapon crafting, I'll give you this stone. Maybe it will be useful."

Although he didn't get an answer, Shi Xuan still happily took the stone back.

After putting everything away, he turned to Lin Daozi and said, "Master, you don't need to thank me. I received a lot of spirit stones from Senior Brother. When he wakes up, I'll make him pay me back. I reckon he won't be able to pay me back anytime soon! Hahaha."

Lin Daozi also laughed; this little disciple was quite amusing.

Just then, a weak, hoarse voice rang out from beside them.

"Junior Sister, didn't you say that if Senior Brother pulls through this time, the debt will be wiped clean? And, cough cough cough..."

Don't think he didn't hear. That junior sister only started saying she didn't need to thank him after accepting Master's gift. If she's so capable, she should have said so before accepting the gift...

Shi Xuan was also surprised that Lu Shenzhi would suddenly wake up at this moment and hear her conversation with her master.
