Ning Wan left the main hall smoothly, while Chen Jinggu was left alone. She didn't care about the reason why her father, the head of the sect, wanted to keep Chen Jinggu. Her mind was full of what Xiao Qi had just said.
[Host, Xiao Qi has observed that the plot of this world is too strong. Even if you have spiritual power that can break through the Qi Refining Realm, you will not be able to attract the thunder.]
[If nothing unexpected happens, you will never be able to break through to the foundation-building stage in this lifetime.]
[As long as I can let the thunder strike you, even just one, the host can temper his bones and muscles and clear the spiritual veins in his body.]
Temper your muscles and bones, and dredge your spiritual meridians?
After returning to the courtyard, Ning Wan did not lie down, but sat cross-legged again, trying to draw the energy into her body. After feeling the tiny ball of spiritual power in her waist and abdomen, there was no joy on her face, but she just sighed again.
She didn't even have an inner elixir, and couldn't even transform spiritual energy into her own spiritual power. What was there for her to work hard for? So she might as well...
Xiao Qi no longer dared to breathe, fearing that the host's next words would be, "Forget it, what's the point of working so hard? In the end, you'll still be a stepping stone for Chen Jinggu. Why bother? Maybe provoking the Foundation Establishment Stage will give him a greater sense of accomplishment."
Or maybe it's "Give up, what's the point of struggling? Foundation Establishment can't make me become an immortal right here, right? I'm just a little piece of trash who has only reached Foundation Establishment. I can't always get caught in the thunder."
It could even be, "I'm just playing it down. I agreed not to work hard, so the worst that can happen is I'll be locked up for another eight months."
In just one minute, Xiao Qi already had several answers. Just when his heart was beating fast, he finally realized what the host had said.
Having a host who breathes heavily when talking is something that really makes Tong very happy. He is so happy that he almost short-circuit.
——So it’s better to take a shortcut!
She reached the third level of Qi Refining by taking medicinal pills, so it wouldn't be too much to borrow some heavenly thunder to build her foundation, right?
Although it sounds bad to say that someone is a gigolo, since the person involved doesn't care about it, why bother with it?
"Can I only borrow the male protagonist's thunder?"
"Can my junior brothers and sisters, senior brothers and sisters?"
When Ning Wan said this, her eyes sparkled, and she was waiting for Xiao Qi's answer with great anticipation.
Xiao Qi felt extremely embarrassed by being stared at, but he recovered in time and said, "No, host."
Then, Xiao Qi glanced at the cold system panel in front of him and explained in a serious tone:
Chen Jinggu's identity is extremely unique. He is the protagonist of this dimension, and the one whom the Heavenly Dao believes is most likely to achieve immortality within the next hundred years. If the host borrows the protagonist's heavenly thunder, he can rely on the protagonist's luck to temporarily circumvent the Heavenly Dao's restrictions and break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining until his death.
[Or perhaps, Heaven will, for the sake of the male protagonist, show some mercy and give the host a gift as a reward for blocking the thunder for the male protagonist. This reward will naturally help the host temper his muscles and unblock his spiritual meridians.]
However, others will not receive the favor of Heaven, so those heavenly thunders will only do their job. Besides severely injuring the host, they will also be unable to help the host build his foundation.
Heavenly thunder can also be said to be an opportunity, but this opportunity will be obtained by anyone who practices seriously. If someone tries to block the heavenly thunder of other cultivators and use it to strengthen their body, they will be regarded as opportunists in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao and will not be allowed.
If you are in a good mood, it may just be a small punishment; if you are in a bad mood, it may be a serious injury that lasts for a hundred days.
Moreover, the injuries caused by heavenly thunder can only be slowly healed by one's own spiritual power. If one relies on external forces to heal the wound, it will only become more and more serious. Therefore, there are very few cultivators who will block thunder for other cultivators. They will just watch from the side and wait until the cultivator who is undergoing the tribulation can no longer hold on, and then take action according to the situation.
Ning Wan blinked slightly. At this moment, Xiao Qi felt that the host's inner world was too quiet.
…
On the main peak, in the headmaster’s study.
"Do you have anything to say to the Master?"
Looking at Shen Jinggu who was standing straight across from the desk, Ning Zixiu cleared his throat, pointed to the side and motioned him to sit down, then waved his hand again, and the entire study was covered by a barrier.
"Today, we are the only ones in this study, master and disciple. If you have anything to say, please say it today."
Ning Zixiu's attitude made Shen Jinggu not dare to really sit down. He just bent down slightly, as if ready to apologize, and said sincerely: "But what did my disciple do wrong? Master, please tell me clearly."
"Don't think too much. Just sit down if I ask you to. I just want to talk to you about my daughter."
Ning Zixiu raised his eyebrows slightly and his expression relaxed a little, as if he wanted to ease the tense atmosphere in the study.
After hearing this, Shen Jinggu did not continue to stand. After sitting down, a cup of tea was handed to him, and he took it in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"Tell me the truth, what do you really think about your engagement with Nannan?"
Chen Jinggu placed the cup of tea on the table and said truthfully, "Ning Wan is my fiancée, and my only future wife."
Ning Zixiu seemed very satisfied with Chen Jinggu's answer, and his brows relaxed a little.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should have entered the Golden Core stage long ago. Why are you still stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage? Are you afraid that Nannan will distance herself from you if she finds out you're planning to form a Core?"
Ning Zixiu was worthy of being Ning Wan's father. He immediately saw through what Shen Jinggu was worried about and what Ning Wan would do.
