Chapter 179 Gongshi Chuo trembled...
Gong Shichuo tremblingly took out a purple-gold bamboo.
Abbreviated as Purple Bamboo, its full name is Purple Gold Bamboo, which is the bamboo they dug up during their competition a few days ago.
It's called Purple Gold Bamboo, so it must have something to do with gold.
Xie Jiaoyue pondered for a moment.
Since it was struck by lightning, there must be some residual metallic elements inside...
Xie Jiaoyue decided to abandon the junior high and high school chemistry knowledge in her head. This is the world of cultivation, what's wrong with the elements changing after being struck by lightning?
But if we disregard the knowledge gained from junior and senior high school, can gold still conduct electricity?
Never mind, if this thing can be struck by lightning, it must be able to conduct electricity.
Xie Jiaoyue snatched the purple-gold bamboo from Gong Shichuo's hand and planted it boldly in the ground.
Although no one could understand what Xie Jiaoyue was doing, the panicked disciples unanimously took out the Purple Gold Bamboo from their storage bags.
Xie Jiaoyue exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't you all local tycoons from the Buzhou Immortal Realm? How come you're all stealing this stuff like me!"
Even in such a dangerous situation, a group of people still managed to awaken their precarious morality, turning their heads away in embarrassment, looking at the sky and the ground but not at people. If they accidentally made eye contact with someone else, they would immediately turn their heads away again.
Gong Shichuo's face turned black, and he immediately denied it three times in a row: "I didn't, I didn't, I bought it myself! Believe me, I bought it months ago, and I have proof."
A well-known rich second-generation was accused of taking advantage of others, and he was so anxious that he almost cried.
Xie Jiaoyue was not a professional and did not know how to make a professional lightning rod. Based on her simple idea, she laid several purple bamboos horizontally together, then stood them up with lightning speed and threw them out in a flash.
Heading towards Chu Xingjin.
There was no one else there.
It landed right below Chu Xingjin.
As the deafening roar echoed through the air, a massive beam of light hurtled towards Chu Xingjin, engulfing him completely. Unlike the previous chaotic dissipation, the light shimmered along the purple-gold bamboo, winding its way to the ground.
Chu Xingjin had no time to pay attention to the scene below him, but everyone else saw it clearly.
Ordinary, well, not exactly ordinary, purple bamboo actually managed to attract lightning tribulation?
What kind of new method is this for overcoming tribulation lightning?
Their quick wits have already led them to come up with some crooked ideas.
Although the lightning tribulation only has meaning if it strikes the body, what's wrong with using some ingenious techniques when you're about to lose your life?
Xie Jiaoyue looked around and realized that, without her noticing, the other disciples had gathered around her in a small circle.
The lightning tribulation affected a wide area; a single bamboo pole was insufficient to attract all the lightning from all directions, and the lightning continued to explode wildly all around, terrifying everyone.
Xie Jiaoyue followed suit, throwing bamboo in all directions.
As you throw the torrent, pray in your heart, may Mr. Science bless your most beloved son!
As they continued throwing mines, the number of mines around them dwindled. Before they knew it, the small area where they were standing hadn't been hit by any mines for quite some time.
Science began to exert its power.
Xie Jiaoyue breathed a small sigh of relief, but suddenly felt weak all over. Her arms were limp and she couldn't lift them. She felt completely useless.
Gong Shichuo naturally stood to Xie Jiaoyue's left and took her arm.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just grateful that you saved us, I'm not interested in you at all."
Immediately, someone tried to push Gong Shichuo out of the way.
"She's not interested, but I have one! Sister Jiaoyue, how about adding a psychic artifact?"
"Me too! Me too! My family is a family of alchemists, Sister Jiaoyue, look at me."
Gong Shichuo: ...
What's with this feeling that you'll lose if you don't compete for favor?
How could she, the strongest disciple of the Gongshi clan and a rising star surrounded by admirers, do something so degrading?
Gong Shichuo: "Jiaoyue, don't listen to their nonsense. I was the one who handed you the first bamboo stick. I'm the one who listens to you the most."
Xie Jiaoyue sighed and said, "Gong Shichuo, do your family members really know that you act like this outside?"
People can be really speechless sometimes.
...
Outside the stadium.
As the most important part of the biggest fun in the Buzhou Immortal Realm, it naturally attracts the most attention. However, as people watched, many voiced their doubts.
"Why can't I see this?"
Where? Where?
"Where is it?"
"You idiot, where exactly is that place?!"
"Oh dear, it's that place where Chu Xingjin and Xie Jiaoyue were. The scene there suddenly disappeared."
Because it featured popular figures such as Chu Xingjin, Xie Jiaoyue, and Gong Shichuo, this scene already attracted a lot of attention. Once it was spread around, everyone knew instantly that the live feed had malfunctioned.
Such things happen often. Generally speaking, if a very intense fight occurs, so intense that it affects the flow of spiritual energy and causes it to become disordered, or if someone directly damages the magical artifact used to capture real-time images, this situation will occur.
Those who cultivate immortality are embarrassed to say they cultivate immortality unless they encounter some unexpected events.
No, Xie Jiaoyue is in danger!
Gong Shi Moyu finished his own competition early and was lingering around the arena. Not far away was the gathering place of the heads of various powerful families, with a huge water curtain in the air that was hard to miss.
He immediately looked for Xie Jiaoyue among them.
Cannot find it.
Combining the whispers around him, he finally managed to make out the gist of it.
What? Xie Jiaoyue encountered a Nascent Soul stage magical beast and then disappeared?
Is this some kind of ghost story?
His usually expressionless face contorted for a moment, his furrowed brows and widening eyes crowding the space on his face, making his expression extremely distorted.
Gong Shi Moyu was unaware that he was already walking quickly forward.
A cultivator specializing in alchemy displayed speed almost equal to that of a sword cultivator. His hair ribbon, which he hadn't had time to fasten properly, was swept away by the wind that swept up from his side, causing his black hair to flutter wildly in the air, making the elegant young man appear somewhat disheveled.
He wasn't particularly embarrassed. Just before he was about to bump into the seat of the powerful family, his last bit of rationality told him...
This competition is covered by insurance.
Each person carries a magical artifact with teleportation capabilities.
If danger is encountered, the magical artifact will naturally help the disciple escape the perilous situation.
He stopped and began to tidy his disheveled hair.
"Why can't we detect these people's magical artifacts?" Clan Chief Baili frowned, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Gongshi Moyu to hear clearly.
Gong Shi Moyu subconsciously asked, "What kind of magical artifact?"
Chief Baili seemed to be genuinely answering him: "That's strange. The teleportation artifact could detect it just now, so why can't it detect it suddenly? Could it be that the spiritual energy there has become so chaotic?"
"That shouldn't be the case. I personally reinforced those magical artifacts. Unless they are damaged by heavenly lightning, they shouldn't be able to fail."
Thunder.
Chief Baili murmured, "Could it be that someone is really undergoing a tribulation of lightning?"
The previously dim water curtain lit up for a perfect second.
A beam of light, reaching to the heavens and the earth, shone through the water curtain. This small section of water curtain, however, illuminated the entire world with its own power, so bright that people could not open their eyes.
Many people instinctively closed their eyes.
The younger ones didn't understand what was happening, but the slightly older ones had already figured it out.
Someone actually underwent a tribulation of lightning at this time!
Even for just a moment, they saw that there was more than one person near the lightning.
Someone actually underwent a tribulation of lightning while still surrounded by their compatriots!
Has he gone mad? Does he want to kill his fellow countrymen?
How could anyone have such a vicious mind?
Who is it?
No one can see it clearly.
But some people have already realized that the broken water curtain corresponds to the location of those people that the magical artifacts cannot detect.
Everyone quickly opened the psychic mirror and frantically sent messages to their relatives and friends, trying to confirm whether it was their friends or acquaintances who had encountered problems.
After sending the message, he realized that even if the person wasn't in the area where the lightning struck, they would be extremely busy and wouldn't have time to reply to his message.
Gong Shi Moyu repeatedly touched the Spirit Mirror, looking it over inside and out, left and right. He wanted to send a message but didn't, afraid of getting a reply and afraid of not getting a reply. He hesitated and ultimately didn't send any message.
He took a few steps forward, bringing his ears as close as possible to the heads of several clan leaders, until he was stopped by the guards.
Chief Wan turned around and noticed Gongshi Moyu's figure.
"That kid from the alchemy world?"
Unlike sword cultivators and magic cultivators, Gongshi Moyu was far ahead in alchemy. Those who originally wanted to do something underhanded to pave the way for their own disciples abandoned their dirty thoughts after just one look at him and instead began to try to befriend him.
Therefore, it is not surprising that his appearance was recognized by the clan chief.
"Let him come over." Chief Wan instructed softly, and the guards put down their swords and made way for Gong Shi Moyu.
Chief Wan sized up Gongshi Moyu, his gaze like a bone-scraping knife, capable of peeling away a layer of skin: "You wouldn't happen to be here to inquire about that little girl from the Xie family, would you?"
A confident tone.
For reasons unknown, Chief Wan picked up the Spirit Communication Mirror.
His spirit communication mirror is specially made, consuming a considerable amount of spiritual energy, and has many more functions.
For example, you can make a short video call.
The Xie clan leader, who was originally uninvolved, was still on his way, and in the sweltering summer heat, his black clothes were getting hotter under the sun.
But right now, the black robe he was wearing was shivering so much it felt cold.
Damn it, he was on his way back from the southwest region when he encountered a magical beast and dealt with it on the way. So before he could even see Xie Jiaoyue, this happened.
People are already annoyed when they're in danger, but then they hear something even more annoying.
How old is their young master? He hasn't even been officially recognized yet, so how come someone has already set their sights on him?
Oh right, he's already heard in the Southwest Region that that short-sighted Chu Xingjin is also eyeing it.
Damn, he saw it clearly, the one undergoing tribulation was Chu Xingjin!
The previous young master only wanted to pursue love and was unwilling to inherit the family business; this one must not be like that.
Kill them all.
A bunch of good-for-nothings are not worthy of their young master.
