The golden light shone on the four people, making them feel extremely comfortable. It was warm and had a pure, soul-cleansing quality.
Perhaps it was because He Weiqing's forty-nine heavenly lightning bolts were too many, and the golden light of the Heavenly Dao was also very generous, sprinkling down a large area. The rich golden light enveloped the group of people, with ample light, a large quantity, and a long duration.
Shi Xuan's myriad things are running more smoothly, and it seems that the spiritual energy circulating in his body at this moment has taken on a golden Daoist charm.
Lu Wenxing's feat was even more astonishing. Bathed in this golden light, he sat cross-legged on the spot and actually broke through directly! He leaped from the third level of the Golden Core stage to the fourth level!
Although Lin Daozi did not receive the same great benefits as his disciples, this golden light was undoubtedly a consolidation and purification of his Dao heart.
Only He Weiqing was still immersed in the guilt of being the one who caused his junior sister to be struck by lightning.
Shi Xuan looked at him and smiled, "We all have to thank you this time, Fourth Senior Brother."
What? Thank him? He Weiqing didn't react for a moment. Wasn't it him who caused his junior sister to be seriously injured? Why was she thanking him instead? Did he hear wrong?
Seeing that he was still in a daze, Shi Xuan continued, "Because of Fourth Senior Brother's Core Formation this time, Second Senior Brother and I both broke through, so naturally we should thank Fourth Senior Brother. What are you still standing there for? Quickly take this opportunity to consolidate your cultivation."
He Weiqing seemed unable to believe it, thinking it was just Shi Xuan's comforting words. He turned to look at his master, Lin Daozi, who smiled and nodded at him. Only then did he believe that what his junior sister had said was true. Then, under the urging gazes of his master and junior sister, he sat down cross-legged and began to consolidate his cultivation by using the golden light.
Fortunately, his lightning tribulation was large, as was his golden light, so even though he wasted a lot of time, he still did not delay the establishment of the foundation for the early stage of the Golden Core.
Once everything calmed down, Shi Xuan discovered that her body had undergone significant changes. Leaving aside the strengthening and expansion of her meridians and spiritual palace, the traces of lightning power carried in the spiritual energy flowing within her body were astonishing.
Shi Xuan was somewhat surprised. According to her understanding of the life of all things, all external forces, once absorbed, would be transformed into spiritual energy suitable for oneself. Therefore, after such lightning entered the body, it should not have any lightning attribute anymore.
With this question in mind, Shi Xuan carefully examined herself again, then condensed a ball of spiritual energy in her hand. The ball of spiritual energy gathered in her palm visibly crackled with electricity.
What's going on? Shi Xuan looked at Lin Daozi in confusion.
Lin Daozi pondered for a long time, seemingly unable to explain what was going on.
"When we return to the sect in a while, your master will take you to have your spiritual root tested again. I've heard that some hidden spiritual roots cannot be detected before they are activated. I suspect that you had a hidden lightning spiritual root before, which was just activated by this heavenly lightning."
"Such a thing exists?" Even though Shi Xuan was quite knowledgeable in his previous life, he had never heard of such a strange thing before.
“I have never encountered such a situation before, and I always thought it was just a legend,” Lin Daozi took out a gourd, took a sip, and then said, “Whether it is true or not, we will know once we return to the sect and have it tested.”
It took Lu Wenxing a while to complete this advancement. The first thing he did after standing up was to give He Weiqing a big bear hug. "Well done, Fourth Brother. You've reached the Core Formation stage, and we've all benefited from it. There's a saying, 'When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.'"
Good heavens, comparing himself to chickens and dogs is something else, and he even dragged Shi Xuan into it. Lin Daozi slapped him on the head; this kid talks nonsense all day long.
Shi Xuan glanced at Lu Wenxing, who was rubbing his head, and thought to himself that he wouldn't argue with a fool.
"Second Senior Brother, you don't need to be so polite," He Weiqing couldn't help but smile, his round face flushed, but unusually, it wasn't because of shyness, but because of excitement. At this moment, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe his mood as soaring to the sky.
For two years, his cultivation had made no progress, which made him even more introverted and timid. Who would have thought that the opportunity would come today! Not only did he successfully form his core, but he also helped his second senior brother and junior sister. A rare sense of accomplishment welled up within him.
"Let's go, let's go back to the sect first. Your second senior brother will treat you to drinks later!" Lu Wenxing put his arm around his neck, acting like good buddies.
This guy had often said he'd treat everyone, but He Weiqing always ended up paying the bill when they went down the mountain. He Weiqing glanced at him and nodded. He was in a great mood right now; treating his second senior brother to drinks was the most he'd ever done.
Lu Wenxing raised his chin proudly and took out several high-grade spirit stones, waving them in front of He Weiqing. "See? These spirit stones were earned by your second senior brother through his own abilities!"
These are top-grade spirit stones! He Weiqing couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did you earn them?"
As the two were talking, Lin Daozi had already taken Shi Xuan and flew towards the sect on his sword, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Lu Wenxing pulled He Weiqing and said, "Come, come, let me tell you about Senior Brother's sword. This is the reward I got from Junior Sister for my incomparably powerful image!"
The two wielded the same sword, and Lu Wenxing, braving the strong wind, recounted Shi Xuan's heroic deeds at the Fuyuan Sect to He Weiqing.
He Weiqing was greatly shocked. His junior sister was truly capable! She had even created the legendary Radiant Light Dao Seal! The bad guys from other sects must be eyeing her covetously. So what was he, having only just formed his core? He still needed to work harder and harder!
Lin Daozi and Shi Xuan landed directly at the entrance of the council hall. Elder Jia personally came out to greet them, smiling as he walked, "What important matter could make Peak Master Lin come all this way in person?"
"Haha, I just brought my little disciple to borrow the spirit-testing jade." Lin Daozi seemed to be in a very good mood, and the smile on his face never left.
Elder Jia was not surprised. This young disciple, who was born with sword bones, had already had his spiritual roots tested twice since he entered the sect. He personally took out the spirit-testing jade and handed it to Lin Daozi, saying, "Peak Master Lin, whether you want to test it here or go back to test it, please feel free to do so."
"Let's test it here. It'll only take a short while, and it'll save us the trouble of sending someone to bring it back to you."
As Lin Daozi spoke, Shi Xuan had already placed his hand on it with practiced ease. This time, the waiting time for the Spirit Testing Jade was shortened again. In just a few breaths, colorful stripes rose from the base, and they were much larger than after the last Spirit Tempering Pool!
However, this time, in addition to the five colored stripes, another purple light rose up, and after stabilizing, its length was exactly the same as the other five colored stripes, perfectly balanced.
There really was one more!
When Shi Xuan entered the sect, Elder Jia watched the whole process. The contrast between the weak, trembling spiritual root and the naturally formed sword bone that shone with silver light left a deep impression on him, one that he would probably never forget even after hundreds of years.
Now, he doesn't know what happened that made this girl's spiritual root grow so much, and most incredibly, she actually has an extra lightning spiritual root!
Could it be that there's something wrong with the sect's spirit-testing jade? Elder Jia fell into deep self-doubt.
