“In comparison, I envy Lin Daozi more,” Lu Changyi said. “He’s undergoing the Void Refinement Tribulation, and every now and then a disciple comes out to share part of the tribulation lightning for him. He’s also prepared the best pills and magic tools for him. Who wouldn’t want a disciple like that!”
Feng Hanmo sighed: "We don't need her to share the burden, nor do we need her to send pills or magical artifacts. With a disciple like this, what's wrong with providing her with ample resources in return..."
Shi Xuan was fully engaged in the "All Things Grow" technique, and the spiritual energy that she couldn't convert in time was compressed into her dantian. She no longer received external information, but focused on absorbing and converting the spiritual energy from the heavenly lightning.
The process was repeated just like before.
A while later, when the fifteenth bolt of lightning struck, Shi Xuan rushed into the lightning zone again. This created a clear pattern: every five bolts of lightning, Shi Xuan would go in and be hit.
For Lin Daozi, the frequent tribulations of lightning provided a respite, while for Shi Xuan, the spiritual energy brought by the tribulations of refining the void was abundant and suitable for her. Thus, the master and disciple reached a consensus of harmony, unity, and mutual benefit.
After the thirtieth strike of heavenly lightning, Lin Daozi also began to take pills. He took out his storage bag and took out a jade bottle from it.
Several sect leaders leaned forward as he took out the jade bottle, releasing a bit of their divine sense to watch his movements. They saw Lin Daozi take out a radiant pill and put it into his mouth.
The sect leaders were immediately even more envious; the pill he had been consuming actually contained a Dao Seal of Radiant Light!
What a waste! Why would they need a Dao Seal when they could just casually take a Rejuvenation Pill? They're all so old, and they've never even taken a pill with a Dao Seal!
Only Shi Mingxiu, who had received the Dao Seal Pill from Shi Xuan, smiled slightly, feeling extremely pleased with himself. He stroked his beard and muttered to himself, "Sigh, Shi Xuan said he would give me the Ling Shen Pill, but I wonder if it's a Dao Seal Pill... People who take too many Dao Seal Pills, I wonder if they can adapt to not having a Dao Seal... What a dilemma!"
His irritating tone provoked the crowd's anger, and several sect leaders jointly challenged him, "Once Lin Daozi finishes his tribulation, let's go to the arena for a round! Four against one!"
I might not be able to beat you, a sword cultivator, in a one-on-one fight, but I'm sure I can handle a group fight, right?
Shi Mingxiu crossed his arms, looked at them calmly, and sneered, "Such a lack of martial ethics, where is the demeanor of a sect leader?"
At this point, what's the point of maintaining a certain demeanor? If you had that kind of demeanor, how could you recruit disciples?
As time went on, Shi Xuan absorbed more and more lightning power, and his condition improved.
The heavenly lightning gradually intensified, and Shi Xuan also intensified, thus creating a balance. After each strike, the interval remained five strikes of lightning.
They have all changed, only the pattern remains the same.
More than an hour had passed, and many of the outermost disciples had already dispersed. After all, they could only see the lightning and not the people, and they were getting sleepy from watching the lightning for so long.
"When do you think they'll finish?" several disciples began to whisper among themselves.
"That's a tribulation lightning strike for the Void Refinement stage! Have you ever witnessed a Void Refinement stage tribulation lightning strike in your entire life?"
"If we could see it up close, we might gain a lot of benefits."
"You dare go ahead and try? You'll be reduced to ashes after just one hit!"
"I'm curious, why does the lightning bolt split every few strikes?"
The disciples looked at each other in confusion, unable to figure out the reason.
They were on the outermost edge, and could see nothing but the lightning striking down from the sky.
"Perhaps, this is what it's like to undergo tribulation during the Void Refinement Tribulation..."
They had never seen other Void Refinement Realm cultivators undergo tribulation; they were merely guessing.
But after that, a saying began to circulate in the martial arts world: when one cultivates to the Void Refinement Realm, the heavenly lightning that descends will split. My friend personally witnessed a Void Refinement Realm expert undergoing tribulation, and it is absolutely true!
At this moment, Lin Daozi had already experienced nearly forty lightning tribulations. Shi Xuan, sitting on the outer edge, absorbed the lightning energy on his body, and his aura suddenly surged. He actually advanced under these circumstances!
Advancing from the fifth to the sixth level of the Golden Core stage is only one small step, but the environment for this advancement is truly astonishing.
This is the scene of her master's tribulation in the Void Refinement stage! She really doesn't miss any opportunity to cultivate.
Moreover, she seemed to be even stronger than they had imagined, able to move freely through the tribulation lightning of the Void Refinement stage without being harmed, and even advancing in rank!
Lu Changyi looked at Shi Mingxiu with a strange expression and asked, "If I remember correctly, didn't Shi Xuan just join your Lianfeng Sword Sect last year?"
The remaining sect leaders also looked at Shi Mingxiu, waiting for his answer.
Shi Mingxiu replied with no small amount of pride, "That's right. Next month will mark exactly one year. When I first arrived, I was at the first level of Qi Refining."
!!
What kind of monster is this? He's reached the sixth level of the Golden Core stage in just one year! Moreover, he's mastered alchemy, talismans, artifacts, and formations—and is proficient in everything!
When exactly did she cultivate? When did she refine pills and draw talismans? Especially the array formations, how did she manage that?!
If Shi Xuan knew what they were thinking, she would definitely say to herself, "Actually, it's not just been a year. The four minor science fiction realms in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm have been keeping her imprisoned for several years."
To them, she had only cultivated for a year, but to Shi Xuan, it had been five years... Add to that the experience she accumulated in her previous life, and it seems she still has room for improvement...
After advancing in cultivation, cultivators usually need a certain amount of time to consolidate their cultivation. However, Shi Xuan's method was to plunge into the lightning zone, endure half a bolt of heavenly lightning, and then rush out to meditate while using the power of the lightning tribulation to consolidate his cultivation.
"This child is bold and meticulous, she will surely achieve great things in the future!" Quan Xing exclaimed. Even without her individual championships and the halo of the Radiant Dao Seal, as long as she has the courage to borrow strength in the tribulation of refining the void, she is a rare and outstanding new talent in the sect.
Shi Mingxiu was very pleased with himself. At this moment, he suddenly stopped caring about the shops on that street.
In recent years, the six sects of Qian Yuan Western Region have not shown it outwardly, but inwardly they have been showing off their respective genius disciples.
Since Lu Shenzhi's accident, the Lianfeng Sword Sect hasn't shown its face at such a gathering for many years. Some of the talented disciples, such as He Weiqing and Lu Wenxing, are either too timid to come out or are hotheaded and idle, only knowing how to play around.
Now, after ten years, their Lianfeng Sword Sect has finally stood tall again, which makes Shi Mingxiu extremely proud.
The master and apprentice continued. Shi Xuan advanced in the process of absorbing the power of lightning, but she did not stop shuttling through the lightning tribulation. In fact, because of the advancement, she shortened the frequency of going in, and now she had to go in once every four lightning strikes.
