Zhu Yi was initially resistant to the stimulation of the second bolt of lightning, but after being struck by it for a while, she realized that this lightning did not seem to be meant to punish her.
Although it was a domineering force of lightning that looked very fierce, when it actually struck her, she found it wasn't so scary.
Knowing she couldn't be killed by the attack, she boldly circulated her spiritual energy to maintain a cross-legged posture in mid-air and began cultivating the "Five Elements Mutual Generation" mental technique.
When she was no longer afraid that the water elemental energy would clash with the lightning power, she was surprised to find that as the five elements of spiritual energy in her body circulated in sequence, the lightning power actually tempered her body in accordance with the rhythm of the energy circulation.
Every inch of her skin, including Zhu Yi's hair, was soaked in lightning.
She felt her meridians become even stronger, tempered by the lightning.
The dantian, tempered by lightning, became even more expansive.
His five elemental roots, tempered by lightning, became even purer and brighter...
When the third bolt of lightning struck, Xue Shan and Wei Wei were already in tears.
What suffering has my junior sister endured?!
The magical plants huddled together, all looking at Zhu Yi. They had just formed a contract, and they hoped nothing bad would happen to Zhu Yi!
The brave warriors don't want to be unlucky!
Finally, just as Zhu Yi opened her eyes, preparing to form a lotus shield again to protect herself and the demonic plants, a third bolt of lightning surged forth.
After a long while, there was no response?
Zhu Yi looked around but saw no lightning strike, and the thunderclouds showed no sign of stopping or going home.
Amidst the churning clouds, the lamps of the ceremonial hall flickered continuously.
The Brahma lamp automatically positioned itself in front of Zhu Yi. Inside the glass lampshade, the fiery red Buddhist flame flickered, like a seabird before a storm, raising its head to confront the heavenly thunder.
The third bolt of lightning finally struck, but this time it didn't hit Zhu Yi. The lightning's enormous energy field was even larger than the previous two combined.
The released lightning power not only affected Zhu Yi and the magical plants, but also Xue Shan, Wei Weiwei, and the vegetation around Chifeng.
"Boom!" The third bolt of lightning struck the Brahma Lamp, tempering every inch of the glass material inside and out, as well as the space inside the lamp.
Silver-white lightning crackled and sparked, the white jade lantern handle gradually turned pale pink, and inside the glass lampshade, a raging, flickering Buddhist flame frantically absorbed the power of the lightning.
Zhu Yi landed from mid-air, braving the aftershocks of the lightning, and jumped to the side of the old vine tree: "Doesn't that cluster of flickering flames look like a naughty little boy who has some candy?"
"We magical plants don't eat sugar," the old vine tree replied earnestly. You can't imagine things you've never seen before.
The third wave of lightning struck me, and it hurt so much!
Zhu Yi glanced at it with disdain, but the old demon vine remained unmoved. Its vines had been charred black by lightning, leaving it bare without even a leaf, just a bunch of bare stems...
"Haha, old vine, your new look is quite nice!"
After saying that, Zhu Yi turned to look at the Brahma lamp.
The third bolt of lightning also struck for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, thoroughly refining every inch of the Brahma Lamp.
Even where Zhu Yi couldn't see, the blue-tailed merman was wailing as it was being tempered by lightning: its smooth, long hair was gone, replaced by wavy curls that looked awful!
As the lightning subsided, the thunderclouds, having completed their mission, drifted away gracefully.
The demonic cloud, originally driven by the old vine tree, thought that by staying far away, it could avoid the thundercloud.
As a result, the third thundercloud, in order to repair it, shamefully expanded the range of the lightning strikes, and even refined it!
The demonic cloud, furious, transformed into a small flower of demonic blood and questioned the old vine tree: "Why should I suffer the lightning punishment along with you?"
The old vine calmly grabbed it with its withered vines: "The opportunity to temper one's spirit body with heavenly lightning is rare. Since we've met today, let's diligently cultivate under Master Zhu Yi's guidance!"
"Sister Demon Cloud, you've turned into Sister White Cloud!" The Demon Blood Flowers swarmed up to greet Little White Cloud, chattering excitedly.
Zhu Yi retrieved the refined Brahma Lamp. The residual power of the lightning still lingered, and one could still feel the electric waves emanating from the lamp post in their hand.
Xue Shan and Wei Weiwei sustained minor injuries, but nothing serious.
At this time, they did not know that this baptism of heavenly lightning with Zhu Yi would greatly benefit their future path of cultivation.
"Alright! From now on, you'll all call me Boss!" Zhu Yi was a little excited. She took out the magic-locking bag, opened it, and planned to let the magic plants in one by one.
Old Demon Vine calmly said, "Boss, I know there's a celestial plant from the Spirit Realm on Seven-Colored Peak that you cultivators love the most. Do you want it?"
Zhu Yi is even happier now; the old vine adapts very quickly!
The Flower Leader is directing the Demon Blood Flowers to line up and enter the Demon Locking Bag in an orderly fashion.
Little Demon Cloud was still not used to its new changes and angrily clung to Zhu Yi's feet.
"Alright, let's leave this place first, and then go find the immortal plant!"
Zhu Yi had some guesses in her mind; this was probably the peach tree from Zhu Qianying's previous life!
She wanted to form a contract with it before Zhu Qianying could! She could even form contracts with magical plants, so she should be able to do the same with immortal plants!
"Now that we've recognized a new master, Boss, you should give us new names," Old Demon Vine chuckled, reminding Zhu Yi.
"I'll give you a nice name."
Zhu Yi circled the old vine tree once, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's take the vine as our surname and call it Teng Changqing. I hope you will grow lush and verdant in the future, and that the magic plant will also soar to great heights!"
The old vine tree was overjoyed. It thanked Zhu Yi, but as it turned to leave, it was drawn to two little sparrows chirping incessantly in the distance.
Zhu Yi leaned down and touched the little green leaf of the Flower Leader. The demonic blood flowers, after being baptized by lightning, had lost their previous ferocity and instead became more docile.
"We'll name you Hua Feiluan, Little Demon Cloud Yun Penglai, and Demon Blood Little Flower's team will be renamed Flower Team!"
"Junior Sister, these names are very nice," Xue Shan said with a smile.
Wei Weiwei nodded in agreement: "What do we do next?"
"Let's walk around and take a look. I've made such a big commotion with the thunder, someone will definitely come to inspect this place."
The Flower Squad all went into the Magic Lock Bag, but Yun Penglai refused. Zhu Yi didn't stand on ceremony and simply reached out and stuffed it into his pocket.
The Flower Squad has about a thousand little red flowers. Hua Feiluan stammered as she explained to Zhu Yi, "Boss, many of the flowers you saw covering the mountains and fields before were illusions we conjured up... fake flowers formed from our fallen petals to protect us..."
Hua Feiluan didn't want to stay in the Demon Locking Bag, so she appointed the second leader to keep a close eye on the Hua Hua Squad and insisted on coming out to stay with the Old Vine Tree.
Zhu Yi took out the Morning Dew Sword, circulated the spiritual energy around her, and was surprised to find that she had advanced again. She was now at the ninth level of Qi Refining!
"That lightning was just right!" She swung her sword and ran to a nearby spot, chopping down several trees that had been struck by lightning and putting them into her storage bag.
Xue Shan and Wei Wei followed suit and collected some trees that had been struck by lightning. They realized that their junior sister was incredibly lucky, and following her always brought unexpected gains.
