"It should recover in about half a month," Yuan Jin said. "And its cultivation will improve rapidly afterward."
The pure bloodline of divine beasts is no joke.
This is also a good thing for Ninghua Sect, as they will now have a divine beast to guard them.
"Since it shielded Junior Sister from the lightning tribulation, will it affect her?" Ye Huai, who was usually taciturn, suddenly spoke up.
Immortal Lord Changli pondered for a moment before solemnly saying, "Generally speaking, all lightning tribulations must be borne by the individual themselves. The lightning tribulation that is blocked by it may be added to Sang Ruo's next tribulation."
"Then when Junior Sister breaks through next time, won't she have to be struck nineteen times?"
Immortal Lord Changli answered Su Xiyu's question, "It is highly likely that this is the case."
The next tribulation will be even stronger. Shen Sangruo's tribulation was already much stronger than ordinary tribulations, and now there is an additional one.
Having blocked one lightning tribulation, it will now be replaced by an even stronger one.
Shen Sanruo didn't react much to this.
On the contrary, her master, senior brothers and sisters were somewhat unhappy.
Although they knew she was very strong, they still couldn't bear to see her get hurt; how painful it would be to be struck by lightning.
Yuan Jin also felt that the air pressure in the room seemed to have dropped.
He stroked the ox's hooves, his mind racing, and finally made a decision that went against his ancestors' wishes.
"I have a plan!"
Everyone turned to look at him.
"As long as the Kui Niu forms a contract with Sang Ruo and becomes her contracted beast, they will be one, and the lightning tribulation on the Kui Niu will also be attributed to Sang Ruo."
"The next tribulation will still be eighteen lightning tribulations."
This Kui ox is too stubborn. He tried to tame it for several years but failed. It was always looking for an opportunity to slip away and go find Shen Sangruo.
He knew a principle well: a forced relationship is never sweet.
Even with the bloodline of a divine beast, he might not be able to unleash its full potential.
His refusal of the Beast Taming Sect's offer for the sake of evil beasts shows how much he cherishes spirit beasts.
Rather than letting it be buried in his hands, it would be better to directly supply it to Ninghua Sect and to Shen Sangruo, which was also his original plan.
If Shen Sangruo is already a Nascent Soul cultivator at such a young age, Kui Niu will surely have a bright future following her.
Moreover, this will solidify the Beast Taming Branch's position within the Ninghua Sect. From now on, their Beast Taming Branch will be the number one branch of the Ninghua Sect!
After hearing this, everyone thought Yuan Jin's suggestion was excellent and was about to praise him for his magnanimity in giving up his own interests.
But some cows reacted even more strongly than they did.
Suddenly, the Kui Niu, which had been lying unconscious, stood up abruptly, shaking off the black charcoal from its body and scattering it all over the ground.
The spirited Kui Niu stands at attention!
"Elder Yuan Jin is a miracle worker!" Song Weiyan gave Yuan Jin a thumbs up.
Yuan Jin: ...
I suddenly felt like I'd wasted all these years raising him.
It's disheartening; true heartbreak isn't about making a scene.
Then, excitedly, he rubbed against Chen Sangruo, smearing a patch of black dirt on her newly changed robe.
Shen Sangri grimaced in disgust and quickly pushed Kui Niu away, saying, "Go wash the charcoal off your body first."
"Moo moo moo!" The Kui Niu refused, as if it insisted on forming a pact with her immediately before it would leave.
"Moo your head, my foot!"
Witnessing everything, Zhu Miao couldn't stand it any longer. She jumped out of her mind and kicked the Kui Niu.
"Wow, could this be the legendary Kung Fu Bamboo Bear?" Su Xiyu exclaimed.
Shen Sanruo quickly picked up the ruffled little ball of fur and gently stroked its fur.
"Calm down, calm down."
Look, they're even speaking like children now.
The black and white dumplings were round and bulging.
The Kui Niu wanted to form a pact with her, and she endured it to spare her from a lightning tribulation. But this ox was still pushing its luck!
Kui Niu was about to be officially incorporated into the organization, and he was full of confidence and very dissatisfied, mooing at Zhu Miao.
The little dumpling bristled again, baring its teeth and claws as it lunged at the Kui Niu.
Shen Sanruo seemed to see the scene after she and Kui Niu formed a pact, wondering how much the two beasts would quarrel in the future.
It might even cause trouble in her mind's eye.
Ouch, my head hurts!
A real headache.
The final solution was that Song Weiyan led the Kui Niu away, and Su Xiyu carried Zhu Miao away, forcibly separating the two beasts.
The room then quieted down.
“Your bamboo bear doesn’t seem to be an ordinary bamboo bear.” Yuan Jin looked at Zhu Miao being carried away.
Shen Sanruo nodded, "Yes, the old wizard of the Illusionary Domain attaches great importance to it, so it must be quite important to the Illusionary Domain."
So she didn't want to form a bond with it, but the little guy was too domineering.
“I think I have a clue about its origin.” Yuan Jin said thoughtfully.
"What?" She looked at Yuan Jin.
"Of course, this is just my guess."
"Elder Yuan Jin, please speak freely."
He originally knew nothing about the Illusory Realm, but after meeting Zhu Miao that time, he consulted all the books about the Illusory Realm that he could find.
Based on his understanding of the spirit beast and the old wizard's attitude towards it, he came to the following conclusion:
"I think it might be a mountain god from the Misty Realm."
Upon hearing this, not only Shen Sangruo, but also Immortal Lord Changli and Daoist Wuwei were shocked.
They knew her spirit beast was extraordinary, but they never imagined it would be this extraordinary.
Ye Huai and Bai Ruoan were only thinking that even the mountain god could cling to their junior sister as a contracted beast, and their junior sister had opened their eyes again.
Two contracted beasts, one a mountain god, the other a divine beast.
Each one, taken individually, is astonishing in its own way.
