Yan Gonglin and the others stood up, preparing to shield Ruan Xiyan from the Dan Lei.
Alchemists are generally weaker in strength and physical strength than ordinary cultivators.
A person's energy is limited. For someone as young as Ruan Xiaoyou to reach the seventh-grade alchemist level is already quite an achievement, so it's unlikely that he can maintain his strength at the same time.
Ruan Xiyan watched the lightning bolt falling from the sky, her power manifesting in her hand as she directly confronted it.
"Bang—!!"
After a loud bang, the bolt of lightning was shattered.
Yan Gonglin and the others, who were about to make a move, suddenly stopped. Seeing the Supreme Realm strength emanating from Ruan Xiyan, their expressions froze.
This little girl has actually reached the Supreme Realm! It's unbelievable that she can be so outstanding in her own strength while also refining medicine.
Seeing that Ruan Xiyan was able to handle the situation, Yan Gonglin did not make a move. He wanted to see just how far this young girl could go.
After Ruan Xiyan blocked the first bolt of pill lightning, the second bolt immediately followed.
Ruan Xiyan gathered her power in front of her, and the two forces collided, with the aftershocks spreading outwards.
The lightning bolts continued to fall, each one more powerful than the last.
Others had to move away, fearing they would be affected by the powerful thunderbolts, leaving a large area cleared around Ruan Xiyan.
The time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed, and Ruan Xiyan has already received seven bolts of pill lightning.
"The thunderclouds show no signs of dissipating, and there have already been seven bolts of pill lightning. What kind of heaven-defying pill did she refine to attract so many pill lightning bolts?"
"That's right. Even a high-quality ninth-grade pill will only attract four or five bolts of pill lightning when it is refined, while a lower-quality one will only attract two or three bolts."
"Dan Lei is the most troublesome and frightening thing for alchemists, and she has already blocked seven Dan Lei with her bare hands."
"Dan Lei shows no sign of stopping. I wonder how many more Dan Lei are coming. Can she withstand them?"
As they were talking, the eighth bolt of lightning was already upon them.
Ruan Xiyan concentrated intently, each strike of the pill lightning stronger than the last. She was no longer as relaxed as she had been at the beginning, and now she dared not be careless in the slightest.
Seeing the descending bolt of lightning, Ruan Xiyan mobilized all her strength to resist it.
The power of Dan Lei clashed with the spiritual energy in Ruan Xiyan's hand, and the powerful Dan Lei force caused her to take several steps back.
Ruan Xiyan gritted her teeth and persevered, as a continuous stream of power gathered from her body into her palms.
Suddenly, her body stiffened, and a tingling sensation came from her arm.
Ruan Xiyan's pupils contracted. How could this be?!
The power of this lightning bolt was able to ignore the obstruction of her spiritual power.
Most of the power was blocked by Ruan Xiyan, but a trace of pure lightning power entered her body, instantly numbing her.
The wisp of lightning power coursed through her meridians, as if it were the true master of this body.
It roamed freely everywhere, finally heading towards the Dantian Sea.
The Dantian Sea is the most important place for cultivators, and it must be prevented from entering.
Ruan Xiyan groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, as she forced her numb body to regain sensation.
She was about to use the Glazed Demon Flame to suppress the lightning power.
The instant the lightning entered her dantian, the azure lotus within it seemed to be provoked.
The lotus petals suddenly opened, swallowing the lightning power and then transforming it into a gentler energy for Ruan Xiyan to absorb.
Having absorbed that pure lightning power, the power that had been almost completely depleted during the battle against Dan Lei was restored in a short time.
Ruan Xiyan let out a soft breath, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes. As far as she knew, the effects of the Azure Lotus were far from reaching this level.
Moreover, it seemed as if the azure lotus had taken root in her dantian, which was now occupied by a blooming lotus.
That azure lotus can transform any violent power into a gentle power suitable for her to absorb.
Now she can even convert Dan Lei's lightning power. Could it be that her different physique has caused that Azure Lotus to mutate?!
This was just her guess; Ruan Xiyan couldn't figure out the specific reason.
However, none of that matters. Since this Azure Lotus can convert the power of lightning, the situation before us becomes much easier to handle.
Ruan Xiyan gazed at the imminent bolt of lightning in the sky, her eyes shining.
If she had known that this Azure Lotus was so useful, she would have let it go and convert the power of lightning.
She had just absorbed the transformed lightning power, and the barrier in her body that had broken through seemed to have loosened slightly. If another bolt of lightning struck, she might be able to break through.
As if on cue, Ruan Xiyan had just finished thinking when the powerful lightning bolt descended from the sky.
This time, Ruan Xiyan did not use her strength to resist, but instead let the lightning strike her body.
To outsiders, Ruan Xiyan gave up resisting the thunderbolt and directly used her body to receive it.
"Is she crazy! Instead of using her strength to block it, she's trying to withstand it with her body. Who can withstand that? She'll probably be struck to dust by the lightning!" the onlookers exclaimed.
"Young friend Ruan." Seeing this, Yan Changpu's eyes flashed with worry, and his hand gripping the armrest of the chair tightened slightly.
Ruan Xiaoyou is such an intelligent person, he doesn't seem like the type to do something foolish.
Perhaps young friend Ruan has other plans, but no matter what plans he has, there is no reason for him to physically withstand Dan Lei.
Even if she has already reached the Supreme Realm, she could still be reduced to ashes by the Pill Lightning if she is not careful.
Surrounded by the thunderous energy, the violent lightning power was rapidly transformed by the Azure Lotus in his dantian.
Ruan Xiyan did not feel extreme pain, but rather a tingling sensation as she gradually absorbed the power transformed from the Azure Lotus.
Suddenly, a light burst forth from her body, the kind that only appears during a breakthrough, followed by waves of power spreading outwards.
After the ninth bolt of lightning struck, the nine returned to one, and the thunderclouds that had gathered in the sky gradually dissipated, revealing a clear sky.
Those present stared blankly at Ruan Xiyan, who was standing there unharmed. "She...she...not only was she not killed by the lightning, she even broke through!"
Someone rubbed their eyes hard, "Am I seeing things?"
Someone slapped themselves hard, saying, "I feel like I'm still half asleep; I must be dreaming."
Some people silently pushed their jaws back down, which were about to fall to the ground. This was truly unbelievable! How could someone be struck by lightning and not only not get injured, but also break through to the next level!
Ruan Xiyan's strength broke through to the second level of the Supreme Realm, and the fatigue from fighting Dan Lei earlier was swept away.
Not only were those people surprised, but even Yan Gonglin and his group were extremely astonished.
