The bottle containing poison smashed against the giant python with a bang. The poison splashed out, instantly corroding a large area of skin upon contact.
That wasn't the worst part; the few drops that landed in its eyes made it completely blind. The python writhed and thrashed in the water in agony. It was clear it was going to die.
Jian Ning finally had time to go see the Rat King. It had already been burned to a small lump, reduced to charcoal. This could be considered a relief to the people.
With the Rat King dead, the remaining rats were no longer restrained and ran around in all directions. Jian Ning simply took out Ruoshui.
He unleashed the newly learned Ten Thousand Swords at Will technique, sending out countless sword beams that wiped out all the rats, and then burned them all to the ground.
He thought to himself that the people in Jiang City should also be grateful to the Rat King.
If it hadn't gathered all these rats on the mountain, it would have certainly caused considerable harm to the people who are still alive today.
At this moment, the python was also motionless in the water, its snow-white skeleton floating on the surface, corroded by the poison.
Jian Ning took out a kayak from her spatial storage, sat on it, and paddled to the middle of the river. She dug up the roots of the Spirit Returning Fruit and planted them directly in her immortal abode. Hopefully, it will survive.
Seeing that it was getting late, I quickly flew back to Jinmao Mansion on my sword.
The rain outside hadn't stopped, and it had been quite a commotion all night.
Back home, he first took a hot bath in his spatial dimension before returning to his immortal abode, where he took out a Spirit Returning Sacred Fruit and consumed it.
This fruit is slightly sweet and very juicy; after eating one, I felt like I wanted more.
However, Jian Ning knew that she couldn't eat too much of this. The spiritual energy contained in the fruit was enormous, and if she ate too much, she might explode and die.
The fruit's effects took hold shortly after being eaten.
With a sudden burst of energy, Jian Ning's spiritual power erupted. She quickly focused her mind and guided the spiritual power within her body to circulate according to her usual cultivation path.
However, this spiritual power was too domineering and did not obey her commands at all. It rushed around and burned her meridians, causing them to ache faintly.
If things get out of control, today could be dangerous. Jian Ning gritted her teeth, and large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.
The pain she's suffering now is almost as bad as undergoing bone-scraping surgery, and she never expected that such a small fruit would have such a strong medicinal effect.
Surely it's not that I'm eating it wrong?
But at this moment, I couldn't think about anything else. I tried my best to stay clear-headed and, no matter how much it hurt, I had to guide the flow of spiritual energy within my body.
This meditation lasted for a whole night and a whole day.
After the medicinal effects were fully absorbed, Jian Ning discovered that he had instantly advanced from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. He was just one step away from achieving the Golden Core stage.
This is truly an unexpected surprise. It seems she really can't stay cooped up at home anymore. There are so many mountains and rivers outside; who knows, there might even be some rare and precious treasures waiting for her to discover.
Stepping out of the immortal abode, I was met with torrential rain pounding against the windows, and the wind howling. Was another typhoon approaching? It was still night, and I glanced at my watch; it was almost ten o'clock.
Huang Fugui hasn't returned yet; he's gone to Tian Tian's house again.
Jian Ning had just taken some food out of her spatial storage when she suddenly felt the whole building shake. Was it another earthquake?
Forgetting all about eating, I rushed to the balcony and looked out. It was pitch black; all I could hear was the sound of the wind and rain. I stood there for a few minutes, and just as I was about to turn back, I suddenly realized something was wrong.
Turning my head, I saw a massive wave of water crashing against the window.
Even through the glass, Jian Ning could feel the waves crashing against her face. Good heavens, was that a tsunami just now?
She lived on the sixteenth floor, and this seawater flooding in was a real disaster. Without hesitation, she quickly pulled out array talismans, using five or six to protect the entire Jinmao Mansion.
Just as she finished, a huge clap of thunder boomed in the sky, and lightning illuminated the night. Only then did Jian Ning realize that the seawater had already submerged the sixteenth floor.
Thankfully, I just came out of the immortal abode. The house was waterproofed quite well, otherwise it would definitely be full of seawater right now.
"Xiao Ning, Xiao Ning, how are you? The water has flooded the building, should we run?" Jian Anping's anxious voice came through the walkie-talkie.
"Where can we run? It's all seawater outside, and it's pitch black."
Have your sister-in-law take out the turtle shell, and you all go inside and stay there. Don't worry about anything else; I'll come and get you when things are calmer outside.
"Okay, okay. I'll bring some more food in. Mom, go wake Mengyao up. You're really carefree."
"You can even fall asleep during such loud thunder." Jian Anping felt much more at ease after hearing Jian Ning's words.
Jian Anping had just hung up when Xiao Lingfeng called again, his voice sounding quite steady.
"Seawater is flooding in, and there's not enough oxygen in the house. Do you have a solution?"
"I have oxygen cylinders here. I'll put them at the living room door. Don't open the door and come into the hallway; there's water outside." Jian Ning said, taking out three oxygen cylinders from her spatial storage and passing through the wall to room 1603.
Only Xiao Lingfeng was standing in the living room. When he saw her carrying the oxygen cylinder over, he quickly took it from her.
"Thank you, thanks to you. The water will probably recede in a while. Did you add a spiritual energy shield to the house?" Xiao Lingfeng sensitively noticed the changes in the house.
"It uses array symbols; I don't have enough spiritual power to keep this building running."
