"Hurry up and follow us."
After saying that, Lu Fuyue leaped into the lake outside the pavilion.
Song Zhou's eyes widened, and he blurted out, "Senior Brother Lu!" Then, his body instinctively followed suit and jumped down.
Strange, why did he suddenly call her Senior Brother Lu?
Perhaps... it was because Senior Brother Lu and the woman in white from earlier shared a similar charm that he trusted her so much.
On the pavilion, the old woman gave a strange smile, then continued to embroider the flowers in her hands. On the handkerchief made of ancient blue silkworm silk, two lifelike flowers, one red and one white, intertwined and nestled together, as if they were from the same plant.
"Sister, don't rush, wait a little longer..."
...
On the other side,
Lu Fuyue soon appeared in a place overgrown with thorns. The sky was gray, and everything in sight was a hazy gray.
Just then, a loud bang suddenly appeared in the sky, and boundless, thick black clouds gathered from the horizon toward Lu Fuyue's location, with countless purple-gold lightning bolts faintly appearing in the clouds.
Lu Fuyue frowned slightly, quickly summoned the Weak Water Zither, then sat cross-legged, embraced the zither, and began to play.
Nascent Soul Tribulation...
Song Zhou appeared right beside Lu Fuyue. He looked up at the scene, still in a daze, "Fairy Lu, you...you're about to undergo your tribulation..."
Lu Fuyue's attention was mostly focused on the impending Nascent Soul Tribulation, and she couldn't pay attention to Song Zhou. With a thought, she raised her hand and waved her hand, sending out a burst of spiritual energy that instantly moved Song Zhou out of the range of the tribulation lightning.
If other cultivators are present when a cultivator is undergoing tribulation, the lightning tribulation will be doubled.
Just as Lu Fuyue had settled Song Zhou, a purple-gold lightning bolt, like three thousand sharp blades, carrying endless thunderous force, crashed straight down from above her head with a deafening roar.
Lu Fuyue quickened her movements, her back slightly damp with a little sweat. Her eyes darkened, and suddenly she pressed down hard on the strings with two fingers.
The sound of weak water, water controls three thousand, lock!
The moment the zither music began, countless white water mists suddenly appeared in the air, which then transformed into a spiritual domain that firmly covered the entire area surrounding the tribulation site.
At the same time, the purple-gold divine lightning in the sky seemed to sense Lu Fuyue's resistance and instantly became enraged, descending one after another.
Song Zhou stood not far away, watching this scene with worry. The lightning tribulation looked several times stronger than a typical Nascent Soul tribulation. Even his master's Nascent Soul tribulation back then wasn't this strong.
However, unexpectedly, as soon as these lightning tribulations entered the water mist, their power was gradually weakened layer by layer, and by the time they reached Lu Fuyue, they had no power to cause any harm.
The power of the Purple-Gold Divine Lightning seeped into the water mist, was dispersed by the mist, and was then continuously transmitted to Lu Fuyue's body, gradually tempering her physical form.
Under the thirty-one bolts of heavenly lightning, the other third of Lu Fuyue's spiritual apertures were opened again, and her body refinement cultivation, which had just broken through, began to stir again. She only needed one more opportunity to break through to the middle stage of the fourth level of the Phoenix Body Refinement Technique!
Gradually, the Nascent Soul lightning tribulation dissipated, and spiritual rain fell, washing everything clean and simultaneously stabilizing Lu Fuyue's Nascent Soul cultivation.
Song Zhou naturally also received the blessing of the spiritual rain, and his cultivation at the early stage of the Golden Core realm showed faint signs of a breakthrough.
He was overjoyed; he really had benefited from Fairy Lu's good fortune this time.
The sky gradually returned to normal, and the lightning tribulation gradually dissipated.
Lu Fuyue's eyes narrowed slightly. Why was there no divine lightning of punishment from the Heavenly Dao after the Nascent Soul Tribulation ended?
However, after waiting for a long time, she still did not see any trace of the Heavenly Tribulation, so she put away the Weak Water Zither and got up from the ground.
Could it be because of her Water Spirit Divine Body, which allows her to cultivate without bottlenecks? But for some reason, she always felt it wasn't that simple...
Song Zhou stood in the corner, staring blankly at this scene. He felt that Fairy Lu was Senior Brother Lu, because even the zithers in their hands were exactly the same.
At this moment, Lu Fuyue suddenly turned to look at him, paused for a moment, and said, "Let's part ways here."
After saying that, she turned and walked forward.
However, Song Zhou hurriedly chased after him, "Hey, Senior Brother Lu, no, Senior Sister Lu, can I come with you?"
He has now confirmed that the previous Senior Brother Lu and the current Fairy Lu are the same person, otherwise how could their spiritual weapons and personalities be so similar?
Lu Fuyue stopped in her tracks. The place she was going to was not so simple, and it would not be good for either of them if Song Zhou went with her.
She said coldly, "Song Zhou, didn't we agree to separate after entering the Underworld?"
Song Zhou quickly caught up with Lu Fuyue. Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he slowed his pace. "Alright... I hope everything goes well for you, Senior Sister."
Perhaps without him, Senior Sister Lu wouldn't have been dragged down.
Just as Lu Fuyue was about to leave, Song Zhou suddenly remembered something and quickly ran up to her, calling out, "Hey, senior sister, wait, I have something to give you."
Lu Fuyue turned around and looked at him in confusion, only to see Song Zhou suddenly take out another jade slip from his storage bag and hand it to her.
He smiled and said, "This is a map showing the distribution of forces in the underworld. Although I don't know what your purpose is, this should be of some use to you."
Lu Fuyue was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised her hand to take the jade slip and placed it between her eyebrows. Instantly, information about the various forces in the underworld and the distribution of maps appeared in her mind.
This gift is quite expensive...
With this, she saved herself a lot of effort this time.
but……
Lu Fuyue looked up at Song Zhou, her eyes darkening slightly. "You know?"
Song Zhou scratched his head. "I... I only guessed it when I saw the zither in your hand."
Lu Fuyue was taken aback; she had forgotten that the Fu Ruoshui Zither had not yet returned to its previous state.
After a moment's hesitation, she flicked her sleeve, and a storage ring appeared in Lu Fuyue's palm.
She handed the storage ring to Song Zhou: "This is for you."
After realizing it was a storage ring, Song Zhou swallowed hard and waved his hand repeatedly: "No...no need, this thing is too valuable, a jade slip is not worth it."
Lu Fuyue pursed her lips, then pushed the storage ring in her hand a little closer to him, her tone laced with unyielding authority, "To me, this jade slip is worth ten storage rings."
