Compared to Qing Susu, who was less skilled and less diligent, Bai Zhenzhen was undoubtedly the most favored by her master.
The Holy Mother of Lishan, who was initially overjoyed to see Bai Zhenzhen, lost much of her smile upon hearing that her disciple had come to her to prepare a magical artifact for Qing Susu.
“Zhenzhen,” Master smiled kindly at Bai Zhenzhen, “I know you and Xiaoqing have always had a good relationship, so it’s understandable that you asked her for a magic weapon. However, you should also supervise her cultivation.”
Bai Zhenzhen looked troubled: "Master, Xiaoqing is still young, it's okay if she's a little playful, I will always protect her."
"You can protect her for a while, but can you protect her forever?" The Holy Mother of Lishan was very worried: "Zhenzhen, I know you are intelligent, but it is not a good thing for a cultivator to be too sentimental."
"Master—" Looking at her master's worried face, Bai Zhenzhen felt a warmth in her heart.
"Master, rest assured, I will definitely teach Xiaoqing well and encourage her to cultivate diligently."
Remaining in the cave, Lu Qingyan recalled the incantation taught by the Holy Mother and began to slowly circulate her qi, guiding it into her body, gradually entering a mysterious state.
In fact, Qing Susu is quite talented, but this snake is too lazy, so her cultivation has always lagged behind Bai Zhenzhen's, and she has only just begun to develop intelligence.
Upon returning from her master's place, Bai Zhenzhen noticed the pale blue light spots on Lu Qingyan's body and knew that she was diligently cultivating. She was immediately filled with immense joy.
In the realm of cultivation, time knows no bounds; five hundred years is but a fleeting moment. On this day, thunder and purple lightning crackled across Mount Emei, dark clouds churning, as Lu Qingyan twisted and turned, crawling back and forth on the mountain. She knew it was time for her tribulation.
For some reason, Lu Qingyan felt extremely anxious in the face of the strange phenomenon in the sky.
The system cheered Lu Qingyan on from the side: "Master, keep going! The tribulation is coming soon. Once you pass this test, you can take human form."
Imagining the scene of lightning lashing her entire body, Lu Qingyan asked the system somewhat timidly, "Do you have anything that can ward off lightning?"
The system seemed not to hear, and continued to cheer: "Master, go for it without hesitation! Thunderous Bone Tempering, that's a good thing."
Therefore, Lu Qingyan stopped placing her hopes on the system. Seeing its reluctance to answer, she figured it definitely didn't exist. This garbage system, she'd tear it down sooner or later!
The dark clouds churned more and more violently. The first bolt of lightning was not very powerful, but it still hurt so much that Lu Qingyan rolled on the ground in pain.
When the second bolt of lightning struck, Lu Qingyan's tail couldn't help but wag and curl up a large tree.
...
As the last bolt of lightning struck, Lu Qingyan felt as if every inch of her skin was about to crack and her bones were slowly crumbling. But gradually, everything that had been destroyed was pulled back together by an unknown force.
Finally, all the oppression vanished, and Lu Yan was bathed in a radiant glow, so comfortable she wanted to sigh aloud. When the light disappeared, the giant snake was gone, replaced by a beautiful young woman.
Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows were naturally dark and her lips were naturally red, and her dark eyes were pure and untainted, as if a single glance could see through countless mountains and rivers.
Bai Zhenzhen laughed out loud: "It seems that our Xiaoqing will be a great beauty after transforming!"
Upon hearing Bai Zhenzhen's words, Lu Qingyan hurriedly ran to the riverbank to look at her reflection. While her appearance was beautiful, it paled in comparison to Bai Zhenzhen's stunning beauty.
"Sister Bai is always making fun of people. How can Xiao Qing compare to her?"
