The gold dust scattered deep within his meridians, seeping into Zhu Yi's bones and blood...
Before Zhu Yi could even feel heartbroken, still immersed in the afterglow of the tribulation, golden light above her dantian re-condensed into a golden lotus flower. The lotus flower transformed from large to small, from a large, blooming flower plate to a small bud, and finally condensed into a golden lotus seed, which floated halfway above Zhu Yi's five spiritual roots.
As if summoned, the five spiritual roots transformed into five beams of light and disappeared into the golden lotus seed.
"If you try to condense your golden core now, your cultivation will progress slowly from then on, just like the cultivators in the immortal cultivation world. You will never be able to ascend to the Great Dao and will be stuck at the Mahayana stage of the immortal cultivation world."
Within her mind, Zhu Yi heard a voice exactly like hers softly speaking.
"By exchanging your golden elixir for a more powerful dantian vessel, the golden powder will re-temper your body and help you rediscover your lotus essence. From now on, you will have a smooth path to immortality and boundless blessings."
After the gentle voice faded away, Zhu Yi consciously calmed her inner unease and turmoil.
After a moment's thought, Zhu Yi realized that this exchange would be extremely difficult to make!
The days of cultivation were extremely tedious and boring. She had finally achieved the Golden Core and was about to return to the sect to make a name for herself when, at this moment, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her, telling her that she had to start all over again. She was still somewhat hesitant and uneasy.
But she suppressed her worries.
In any case, cultivating inside the Bodhi Mirror is easier than outside.
With the blessings bestowed by the immortals, one should certainly seize such a good opportunity to lay a more solid foundation for oneself.
Suddenly back to square one, after the tribulation, Xiao Taobao looked at Zhu Yi in astonishment. He had clearly already cultivated the Golden Core, yet he had instantly returned to the Body Tempering stage...
"Big Peach Sister, what kind of cultivation technique are you practicing? Why is your cultivation level regressing the more you practice it?"
Little Peach looked completely clueless, which really infuriated Zhu Yi. It wasn't a regression at all!
It's clear that all of her cultivation was exchanged, but how can I explain this to her?
"You little brat, you have no sense of language! Why do you insist on saying things that people don't like to hear?"
"If you keep acting like this, you'll easily get beaten up once you leave the cultivation world," Zhu Yi threatened Tao Bao, her naive and innocent demeanor making her look incredibly irritating.
"You're talking nonsense. Who could possibly beat me up? I'm the only legitimate immortal plant in the cultivation world, an immortal plant from the spirit realm! They're too busy praising me to bother with me, how could they possibly beat me up?" Tao Bao exuded an arrogant and unapproachable aura.
"Heh, with your cluelessness about social etiquette, beating you up is too lenient." Zhu Yi was too lazy to argue with the brat. She figured he'd learn his lesson after he got out and suffered a little.
Zhu Yi suddenly felt like she was a wicked parent.
Zhu Yi spoke threateningly to Xiao Taobao without batting an eye, but in her heart, she was secretly plotting something.
It's not terrible to lose your cultivation level overnight; what's terrible is having to go through the tedious and boring path of cultivation all over again.
After all the hard work of leveling up and fighting monsters, just when you're about to reach the King rank, you end up going back to Bronze. It just doesn't feel right.
Fortunately, Zhu Yi did not find the second cultivation session as strenuous as the first.
For example, Zhu Yi already had some basic knowledge and concepts memorized; he only needed to absorb spiritual energy again to strengthen his cultivation.
The small Bodhi tree in the secluded palace inside the Bodhi Mirror blooms and fades.
After the Bodhi tree withered and flourished three times, Zhu Yi cultivated himself back to the Golden Core stage.
Dark clouds rolled in, and this tribulation of lightning was accompanied by a heavy, murderous intent.
Zhu Yi felt a little weak in the knees. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but this time the lightning tribulation seemed to be more ferocious than the last one.
This is practically going to kill her!
Within the spirit realm, the Bodhi Tree seemed to sense something, as the intense thunderclouds were truly disturbing its tranquility.
The Bodhi Tree Master was slurping up the braised duck head that Zhu Yixin had just cooked; the spicy flavor was so fresh.
Suddenly, his soul jolted, and the severed root of his body, charred and tender from being struck by lightning, hurt terribly. He couldn't even taste the spicy braised duck head in his mouth.
Seeing his expression, the Goddess of Red Paper understood. It must be that the little girl's second Golden Core Tribulation was more severe, causing a backlash against the Bodhi Mirror.
The Azure Phoenix had been following Hongjian around, eating and drinking for quite some time. Her expression suddenly turned very sad.
The Goddess of Red Paper was somewhat curious.
What's making you so worried?
"If this little girl leaves the Bodhi Mirror too early, do you think we'll still have anything to eat?"
At this point, the Goddess of Red Paper also struggled a bit.
She was surprised to find that the three of them were always getting together to eat and drink during this period, especially after Qingluan came along, she could eat even more.
Hongjian could only comfort the dejected Azure Phoenix: "Those little girls can only go out when they reach the late stage of Golden Core cultivation."
"We can eat for a while longer." The red letter was unusually gentle, like a quietly blooming peony, bright and beautiful yet bringing a rare sense of peace to the heart.
The Azure Phoenix was quite clever and didn't think too much about it. Hearing that it could continue to freeload, it was much happier.
Overjoyed, she released a divine fire from the spirit world while Zhu Yi was being struck by lightning.
The Brahma Lamp was delighted, as it could consume different flames, which greatly enhanced its power!
The combined torment of lightning tribulation and divine fire made this a truly miserable experience for Zhu Yi.
The various demons and zombies surrounding her were initially very happy to help her resist the second eighty-one Golden Core lightning tribulations.
Being able to absorb the power of a heavenly thunder is a great benefit to these reformed demons!
As soon as the divine fire burned them, they instantly shrank back into the magic bag or the lamp of ceremonial conduct.
The divine fire blazed brightly, exuding a strong and fiery masculine energy.
The evil energy of the little evil creatures that Zhu Yi had made a contract with was almost completely burned away.
They all looked wicked at first, but suddenly they became very upright.
Even the little lotus mark on the little zombie's forehead changed from its original jet black color to fiery red, making it look very eye-catching.
The little zombies were not satisfied; the divine fire and lightning tribulation completely consumed their original evil techniques.
They could only resentfully begin cultivating again in the Bodhi Mirror.
However, they are ultimately evil and malevolent beings, and even if they cultivate again, they will still carry a sinister aura.
