However, since the master has started practicing, it is okay to let Shi Xiong finish his own business before coming back. It was for this reason that Hu Sanniang agreed to let Shi Xiong leave temporarily.
At this time, Hu Sanniang did not expect that her momentary weakness would save Shi Xiong's life.
Seeing that Hu Sanniang was willing to let it go, Shi Xiong quickly ran towards Jiyun Mountain.
Zhou Yuanyuan endured the pain of spiritual energy running through her meridians and fell to the ground, practicing the "Spirit Forging Technique". The spiritual energy here was too rich. Before the spiritual energy in Zhou Yuanyuan's meridians could be sorted out, the spiritual energy from the outside world quickly penetrated through her pores. Zhou Yuanyuan's meridians were constantly expanding, expanding again...
Over and over, Zhou Yuanyuan felt her spiritual energy circulate faster and faster. Within minutes, the vortex in her dantian began to whirr like a windmill. The vortex spun faster and faster, shrinking with each revolution. Zhou Yuanyuan didn't know if it had spun thousands or tens of thousands of times before the palm-sized vortex in her dantian condensed into a longan-sized bead, gleaming with a faint golden light.
At the same time, the clouds above the forest where Zhou Yuanyuan was located were getting thicker and thicker, and soon covered the sky within a radius of ten kilometers.
The sky was getting darker and darker. With a "swish!", a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared from the sky and struck Zhou Yuanyuan's head.
Lightning was so fast that it took less than half a second from its appearance to its strike. Zhou Yuanyuan didn't even have time to dodge before she was struck directly.
With a "hiss!", a burnt smell came out of Zhou Yuanyuan's body, waking up Hu Sanniang who was standing beside her in shock.
The demon race is most afraid of thunder and lightning. The moment the lightning appeared, Hu Sanniang was as if she was cast under a spell of immobilization. Not only could she not move, but even her voice lost its sound in that instant.
After the lightning struck, Hu Sanniang screamed: "Master!"
After the lightning, a ray of light appeared in the clouds in the sky, just enough for Hu Sanniang to see Zhou Yuanyuan clearly.
Zhou Yuanyuan's appearance was very strange at this time. Her black hair was distorted by lightning and stuck to her head like a ball of hair, emitting a burning smell. Zhou Yuanyuan's small face was also as black as if it was covered with a layer of soot.
Hu Sanniang didn't even bother to laugh at Zhou Yuanyuan's new look. She quickly rushed to her side to check on her injuries. Hu Sanniang was really afraid that something might happen to Zhou Yuanyuan. As a pet, if anything happened to her, Hu Sanniang would also die.
"Sanniang, I'm fine. You leave first. This is my calamity." Zhou Yuanyuan showed a helpless smile on her dark face. If Xiaoyu hadn't spoken, Zhou Yuanyuan would not have known why she was suddenly struck by lightning.
Last time in Daqing Mountain, Zhou Yuanyuan had already reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. Over the years, she hadn't advanced, yet her spiritual energy had already reached overflowing levels. Today, after only a few minutes of practicing on this small hillside, her spiritual energy began to spiral out of control.
If Xiaoyu hadn't shouted in her sea of consciousness: "Master is about to advance, hold on." Zhou Yuanyuan might still be confused and not know what was going on.
Alas! It brings tears to my eyes just talking about it. A novice cultivator like me can’t afford to be hurt!
Seeing that Zhou Yuanyuan asked her to hide, and because she was indeed very afraid of thunder and lightning, Hu Sanniang had to temporarily retreat to a safe area ten miles away.
Seeing the lightning flashing down the hillside, Hu Sanniang was so anxious that she jumped up and down. Hu Sanniang knew that the dangers of a monk's advancement were no less than those of the demons. If she couldn't withstand it, her soul would be shattered.
Zhou Yuanyuan was struck by lightning. While she felt the initial pain, her entire body was numb. All she could hear was the sizzling sound of barbecue and the scorching smell. After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Yuanyuan heard a crackling sound within her body. The golden elixir in her dantian, tempered by the relentless lightning, had cracked slightly.
"Crack!" Then, with a crackle, the golden elixir in Zhou Yuanyuan's dantian became covered with spiderweb-like cracks, then with a snap, it shattered into powder. The pale golden powder swirled within her dantian. Neutralized by the drops of spiritual energy that had just entered, it reconstituted into a dazzling bead. This time, the bead was only the size of a pearl, yet far more solid than the shattered golden elixir.
"Congratulations, Master, the golden elixir has been successfully completed." At this time, Xiaoyu's voice sounded in Zhou Yuanyuan's sea of consciousness.
As Xiaoyu finished her words, drops of spiritual rain began to fall from the sky, dripping onto Zhou Yuanyuan's body. The spiritual rain nourished Zhou Yuanyuan's body, which had been charred by the lightning, and shed a layer of black charred skin, restoring her skin to its smooth, jade-like appearance. A section of Zhou Yuanyuan's hair, which had been scorched by the lightning, also grew back. A gust of wind blew away the charred part, and Zhou Yuanyuan's hair returned to its smooth, black appearance.
After more than half an hour, the spiritual rain gradually stopped.
Only when a gust of wind blew did Zhou Yuanyuan feel a slight chill.
Damn it, he ran away! Zhou Yuanyuan realized it later.
Under the influence of thunder and lightning, all the clothes on Zhou Yuanyuan's body had turned into ashes and had long since fallen off along with her charred skin.
"Master, Sanniang has your clothes here, please change." Seeing this, Hu Sanniang hurried over. Zhou Yuanyuan's usual clothes are all produced by Zhao Yunxiang's company. Hu Sanniang has her own storage space, which contains the new styles of the season that Hu Sanniang selected for Zhou Yuanyuan.
Zhou Yuanyuan's blush faded after she put on her clothes. This was the first time she had encountered such an embarrassing situation.
Did the big black bear see her in such a predicament? Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanyuan looked around for the stone bear. If the stone bear was still there, Zhou Yuanyuan would have wanted to kill him to silence him.
"Master, let's go to Jiyun Mountain! The stupid bear left ahead while the master was practicing to serve his mirror ancestor." Hu Sanniang saw the murderous look on Zhou Yuanyuan's face, and secretly felt lucky that the stone bear had left.
Although Zhou Yuanyuan didn't understand what Hu Sanniang meant by "mirror ancestor", she was still not able to recover from the naked run and had no extra curiosity at all.
Seeing that Zhou Yuanyuan was in a bad mood, Hu Sanniang didn't dare to joke anymore, and just led the way with her head down.
The man and the demon both possessed spiritual power and were able to walk very quickly. About an hour later, they arrived at the foot of a high mountain.
It's a mountain, and it's really high. Zhou Yuanyuan looked up for a long time but couldn't see the top. From halfway up the mountain, the top was shrouded in clouds and mist, completely obscuring it, revealing nothing of its true appearance. It really lived up to its name - Cumulus Mountain.
