Chapter 31
"Master, the Golden Core Tribulation is here." As the thunderclouds arrived, Ye Zi's spiritual energy began to surge.
"Let's go." Master Yunqing grasped Ye Zi's wrist, waved his hand, and the two figures disappeared.
Yan Yan looked at Lei Yun with great envy: "Senior Sister is about to advance to the Golden Core stage!"
"This is Senior Sister's Golden Core Thundercloud, it's so beautiful." Little Shenmu watched the thundercloud move towards the back mountain, knowing that his master had taken Senior Sister to the back mountain to undergo tribulation.
Jiang Yuzhi gently tapped Xiao Shen's wooden head: "Are you stupid? This thundercloud is here to strike down Senior Sister, and it's beautiful!"
Xiao Shenmu: "It's quite comfortable to see thunderclouds crackling around. Those are the tribulations of the Golden Core cultivators. Senior Brother, Junior Brother, I'm really looking forward to our thunderclouds."
"Yes, he's reached the Golden Core stage." Yu Yun murmured softly, looking towards the back mountain. "A celestial body is indeed a celestial body; it's actually a purple thundercloud."
Ye Zi: "Master, it's because Luo Hengzhi has already established his foundation that my cultivation level was suddenly boosted as well, which is why I reached the Golden Core stage ahead of schedule."
"That kid Luo Hengzhi," Yun Qing Zhenren's deep eyes lit up with a smile, "to be able to successfully establish his foundation without using a Foundation Establishment Pill, this heaven-defying physique, Master was right after all!"
Ye Zi agreed. Luo Hengzhi was destined to be extraordinary. Ye Zi really wanted to meet Luo Hengzhi after he had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
"I'm going to Master." Ye Zi flew straight towards the purple thundercloud.
Master Yunqing activated the protective barrier on the back mountain to protect his disciple.
Furthermore, Lingju Temple is still under renovation, with a large number of ordinary craftsmen present. Activating the protective barrier can prevent unnecessary discussion and panic caused by special celestial phenomena.
"Master, is the arrival of tribulation lightning always so sudden, it just comes out of nowhere? Isn't there any warning beforehand?" Huo Qinglei was still a novice in cultivation, and he was very curious about the thunderclouds. He went to Yan Yan's side and asked.
"People usually sense when they are about to advance in their cultivation level, so they can prepare magical artifacts and pills to help them overcome the tribulation in advance," Yan Yan explained to his disciple.
"Are all thunderclouds purple?" Little Tiger asked.
Yan Yan shook his head: "The senior sister's thundercloud is purple, which means that she will form a purple-gold core after passing the tribulation. This is a top-grade golden core. In addition to top-grade golden cores, there are also high-grade golden cores and ordinary golden cores, each with a different thundercloud color. However, for cultivators, forming an ordinary golden core is more common."
"I see. So there are different levels for forming a Golden Core." Little Tiger asked again, "Then...did my grandmaster's tribulation happen so suddenly that he didn't have time to prepare any magical artifacts to help him overcome it?"
Yan Yan said, "That's not the case. Senior Sister's spirit sword is the best magic weapon. I just don't know why Senior Sister's tribulation of lightning suddenly came?"
Seeing that Yan Yan was unaware, Yu Yun said, "It must be because Senior Sister's Daoist partner has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage that Senior Sister was able to reach the Golden Core stage ahead of schedule. I wonder what kind of spiritual medicine Senior Sister's Daoist partner used to forcibly improve his cultivation. Such a risky operation will definitely backfire in the future, and may even cause Senior Sister's cultivation to decline."
Yu Yun would never admit that Luo Hengzhi truly had the ability to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage in such a short time. It must be that Master Yunqing gave Luo Hengzhi some rare and precious treasures that brought Luo Hengzhi to the Foundation Establishment stage.
However, this method of forcing growth will cause Luo Hengzhi's foundation to become unstable, making it much more difficult for him to improve in the future. At most, Luo Hengzhi's cultivation will stop at the Golden Core stage.
Yu Yun chuckled inwardly, as if he could already see the spectacle of Luo Hengzhi being turned against him!
Yu Yun said a lot, but the junior brothers only heard one sentence: their senior brother-in-law had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage!
Xiao Shenmu was shocked: "My brother-in-law has reached the Foundation Establishment stage!"
Yan Yan exclaimed, "My brother-in-law is amazing!"
Jiang Yuzhi: "My brother-in-law has actually reached the Foundation Establishment stage! I've never heard my senior sister mention that he had started cultivating. When did he begin the Qi Induction technique? How did he suddenly reach the Foundation Establishment stage?"
Seeing the reactions of her junior brothers and hearing that Ye Zi hadn't mentioned Luo Hengzhi's Qi cultivation at all, Yu Yun realized that Ye Zi didn't care about the useless Luo Hengzhi at all.
"Luo Hengzhi has actually reached the Foundation Establishment stage!" The most shocked person here was Huo Qinglei. He had always thought that Luo Hengzhi, Luo Yi, and he and Xiao Hu were all ordinary people from the foot of the mountain who had just started cultivating. They were all on the same path, and their cultivation progress should be similar.
But having just begun to cultivate Qi, he was suddenly informed that Luo Hengzhi had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage. What did this mean? It meant that Luo Hengzhi's cultivation was higher than his master Yan Yan's.
Who exactly is Luo Hengzhi? He was already making a name for himself in the business world when he was just a teenager, earning the title of "business prodigy."
How come she's still so adept at cultivating immortality? Is Luo Hengzhi even human?! Huo Qinglei, who is five years older than Luo Hengzhi, was greatly shocked and began to question his existence.
Xiao Shenmu hugged Yan Yan and asked, "Senior Brother, why isn't Senior Brother-in-law back? I haven't seen him in so long, I miss him so much."
"How about I take you down the mountain to find your senior brother-in-law?" Yu Yun suddenly suggested.
Yu Jun wanted to check on Luo Hengzhi's situation. If he could take advantage of Luo Hengzhi's unstable cultivation since he had just established his foundation, he could easily destroy Luo Hengzhi's cultivation path with just a push of spiritual power.
“Junior Brother Yu, we are not adults and cannot go down the mountain.” Yan Yan didn’t know why Yu Yun suddenly wanted to meet his senior brother-in-law, but it couldn’t be anything good, so he reminded him of the rules of Lingju Temple.
Yu Yun was a little regretful, but there would be plenty of opportunities to make a move in the future, so she wasn't in a hurry. It wasn't worth exposing herself for a good-for-nothing like Luo Hengzhi: "Yes, I heard my junior brother keep mentioning it, and I forgot about this rule in my haste."
"My senior brother-in-law has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so we must also work hard." Yan Yan, the eldest senior brother, was also greatly discouraged. After saying that, he turned around and went into seclusion to cultivate. As the eldest senior brother, he needed to seize the opportunity to improve his cultivation.
As soon as Ye Zi arrived at the center of the thundercloud, the first lightning tribulation struck straight at her. Ye Zi did not summon any magical artifacts, but instead took the initiative to meet the lightning tribulation to temper her immortal body. The purple thundercloud was beneficial to the shaping of the immortal body. After the first lightning tribulation, Ye Zi was unharmed and even more energetic. There was not a single tear on her magic robe.
Then, one lightning bolt after another struck down with increasing intensity. When the fifth lightning bolt struck, the spirit sword flew out, transforming into a human-sized form to block Ye Zi's path, deflecting eighty percent of the lightning's power. Ye Zi then directed the remaining two layers of lightning to her limbs to temper her meridians.
After the seventh lightning tribulation, a charred hole finally appeared in Ye Zi's robe. Ye Zi formed hand seals, and her spiritual power surged as she prepared to meet the eighth heavenly lightning.
As the eighth bolt of lightning ended, Ye Zi's sleeve tore open, revealing burn marks left by the lightning on her arm.
Ye Zi looked up at the ninth and final lightning tribulation that was gathering in the clouds. She closed her eyes, stretched out her arms, and the spirit sword flew to the top of her head and merged with her, forming a golden barrier that enveloped her.
The final purple lightning bolt surged down, colliding with gold and exploding into a purple-gold light around Ye Zi, which then engulfed her.
After passing the tribulation of lightning, the thunderclouds in the sky began to dissipate, swallowing Ye Zi's purple-gold light, which was gradually transferred to Ye Zi's dantian to form the Purple-Gold Pill!
Ye Zi's figure appeared, surrounded by purple-gold gas. Sweet rain fell from the sky, and the wounds on Ye Zi's body healed automatically, leaving only golden spiritual light on her body.
Master Yunqing looked at Ye Zi, who was emitting golden spiritual light and holding a golden spiritual sword that shimmered with golden light, and smiled with satisfaction.
Ye Zi flew down, and red plum blossom steps appeared beneath her feet to greet her, filling the air with a rich fragrance of plum blossoms.
Ye Zi looked down at her feet, puzzled: "Red plum blossoms?"
"Why is it a red plum blossom?" Master Yunqing looked at Ye Zi's accompanying strange phenomenon with a puzzled expression.
Generally speaking, Ye Zi was born with a celestial body. The accompanying phenomena for the advancement of a celestial body would be auspicious clouds and cranes, or a vast celestial palace. But Ye Zi's was a sky full of red plum blossoms!
Master Yunqing was baffled. Such a phenomenon had never occurred a thousand years ago, and Master Yunqing could not explain what was going on with his disciple's strange red plum blossoms.
Tianlongyuan
"Boss, why are you glowing with golden light all over?" When Luo Hengzhi first returned from Foundation Establishment, he was radiant with spiritual energy. Now, looking at Luo Hengzhi, who was shimmering with golden light on the sofa, Luo Yi asked, "Boss, did your cultivation level improve again?"
"Hmm." Luo Hengzhi nodded calmly, "Your master advanced to the Golden Core stage, and thanks to your master, I've advanced another small stage."
Luo Hengzhi had to admire the magic of the Daoist Couple Contract once again; he had practically won without even lifting a finger!
"My master," Luo Yi thought with amusement upon hearing his boss mention his master, Ye Zi. His boss forbade him from mentioning his master.
But now, it wasn't him who brought it up; it was his boss who took the initiative to mention his master, and he even had a smile on his face when he said it!
It seems that his eldest son also misses his wife, and he finally couldn't help but speak up. Look at how he can't suppress the smile on his face when he talks about his wife.
"Master has reached the Golden Core stage?" Luo Yi exclaimed with delight. "I need to think carefully about what kind of advancement gift I should give my master."
“Brother Luo Yi, your master doesn’t like big gift packages,” Long Bao interjected.
"Hmm?" Luo looked at Long Bao and asked, "What do you mean?"
Longbao: "Your master likes money more, why don't you just give him money directly?"
When Luo Hengzhi heard Long Bao's words, he thought of Ye Zi's expression when she was taking advantage of the rich, her eyes full of money, and he unconsciously pouted again!
Luo Hengzhi was clearly in a good mood today. Not only did he successfully establish his foundation, but he also cured Luo Kun and Luo Yan.
Seeing that Luo Hengzhi's lips hadn't been pursed all day, Luo Yi couldn't help but feel happy. His boss must be thinking about his wife again. His boss has finally figured it out!
So, Luo Yi seized the opportunity and tried to suggest, "Boss, how about we go back to Lingju Temple and bring some snacks to my junior uncles? All my other friends have snacks, but my junior uncles haven't had any for a long time, and they must be craving them."
Luo Hengzhi thought of her three adorable junior brothers at Lingju Temple. It had been a long time since she had seen them, and she did hesitate a bit.
Long Bao chimed in, "I wonder if Huo Feng has woken up yet. It's been so long since I've seen Huo Feng. I wonder if she's awake. Does Huo Feng miss me? Huo Feng eats so much, could she have already bankrupted Lingju Temple?"
Luo Yi: "Yeah, boss, let's go back and take a look, just one look. Once the stuff is delivered, we'll leave right away."
"Okay, go check on those kids, and buy them some more food." Luo Hengzhi was finally persuaded and agreed.
I'll just go back and take a look, then leave. I might not even run into Ye Zi!
"Okay, I'll go buy it now." Luo Yi picked up Long Bao from the sofa, grabbed the car keys, and happily went out shopping.
Jiang family
Jiang Mo: "Grandpa and Grandma, I just brought Xue'er back to see you this time. I have to go back to the temple tomorrow. After that, I will officially start cultivating, and I will have fewer opportunities to come back."
“We’ll go with you tomorrow,” said Jiang Mo’s father, Jiang Junrong.
Jiang Mo looked at her parents, who were usually too busy with work, and asked, "Are you going too? Is Mom going too?"
