Lu Shenzhi nodded. It did indeed resemble an inner elixir, and had a very similar feel to the dragon pearl that Shi Xuan had obtained.
"This monster must be of a high level; it's an ice-attribute one."
Could it be that the nine-story pagoda recognized that Lu Wenxing possessed an ice spirit root?
Lu Wenxing held the snow-white inner core in his hand, looking at it curiously from left to right.
The snow-white bead seemed to have a faint, flowing light on it; upon closer inspection, it looked almost alive.
The three siblings all had round beads, but each one was a different color. Lu Wenxing also wanted to observe his bead carefully to see if there was anything special about it.
But at that moment, the snow-white bead suddenly emitted a burst of icy white light, instantly covering Lu Wenxing's body with a layer of white.
And then, right before everyone's eyes, it vanished from Lu Wenxing's hands...
In that instant, Lu Wenxing felt a surge of pure, powerful energy flow into his body.
This surging power seemed to originate from the same source as his ice spirit root, and without any process of acceptance or integration, it became part of the spiritual power in his body.
At the same time, the sudden increase in spiritual power caused Lu Wenxing's cultivation level to rise sharply, and he suddenly broke through the original barrier. Just like that, he advanced without warning in this nine-story tower!
Lu Wenxing seemed to suddenly realize what was happening. In a panic, he found the Nascent Soul Pill that Shi Xuan had given him and swallowed it in one gulp.
It's important to know that Lu Wenxing was previously at the peak of the Golden Core stage. Now that he's advanced, it's not just a small advancement, but a direct Nascent Soul stage!
The formation of the Nascent Soul stage signifies that the Nascent Soul Tribulation is about to arrive as he advances in his cultivation!
Despite all the planning, no one expected that Lu Wenxing would break through to the Nascent Soul stage under such circumstances and in such a "special" setting!
Not to mention Shi Xuan and Lu Shenzhi, even the four cultivators who had been watching the excitement from the sidelines and had not yet reached the eighth level were dumbfounded.
What's going on? He formed his Nascent Soul just like that? Is forming a Nascent Soul really that simple? He just casually accepted a reward, and that reward made him form his Nascent Soul? Why is it so difficult for them to form their Nascent Souls, requiring them to accumulate experience for several years!
But the problem now is, if he really forms his nascent soul here, then this floor is only so big. If the lightning tribulation strikes directly in, won't they all suffer as well?
Having already survived one Nascent Soul Tribulation, the four people, charred and bruised from the lightning strike, trembled with utter despair at the impending tribulation.
At this moment, among the seven people on this floor, apart from Lu Wenxing, the rest are all Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and they have all survived one Nascent Soul tribulation.
But they would absolutely not want to be struck again here!
But he had no choice but to accept it. As Lu Wenxing's aura continued to rise, he finally broke through the barrier of the Nascent Soul stage.
As Lu Wenxing officially broke through, the entire Nine-Story Pagoda was shrouded in thick, dark tribulation clouds.
The dark clouds grew thicker and lower, pressing down, with flashes of lightning appearing intermittently within them.
The thousands of cultivators who were still watching the situation inside from outside the tower were speechless with astonishment.
What's going on?! Someone's forming a nascent soul inside the tower?!
What kind of incredible benefit could allow someone to directly form a Nascent Soul within the tower?
Normally, if someone is undergoing a Nascent Soul stage and undergoing tribulation, onlookers, even if they want to watch, will stand at a great distance to avoid being affected.
However, the seven floors of the nine-story pagoda are only so big, so they can't go up or down. The current situation is that Lu Wenxing is undergoing his tribulation alone, while the remaining six people are riding in the car with him.
Shi Xuan didn't care. She had already experienced many tribulations, including her master's Void Refinement Tribulation, and she had even participated in Lu Shenzhi's Nascent Soul Tribulation. She was used to such situations.
As for Lu Shenzhi, he possesses both metal and lightning spiritual roots, and the lightning tribulation also serves as a form of self-refinement for him.
But the remaining four are not.
Recalling the miserable state they had endured during their tribulations, the four of them trembled with fear.
As the tribulation approached, the four of them spontaneously went to the most remote corner of the seventh floor to minimize their presence. They also took out their defensive magic items and healing pills in case of emergency.
Before long, the Nascent Soul Heavenly Thunder descended from the sky, striking down from the air and reaching straight into the nine-story pagoda.
Fortunately, this nine-story pagoda was a high-level magic weapon. If it were of a lower level, it would probably have been destroyed by such powerful heavenly lightning.
Seeing that the heavenly lightning was heading towards the seventh floor, everyone immediately realized who was forming their Nascent Soul.
Because there are only seven people on the seventh floor, and six of them are already at the Nascent Soul stage!
The remaining one is self-evident; it must be Lu Wenxing, who came up to the last fifty-one spots by luck!
Could this guy be the chosen one? He's ranked fifty-first on the Prodigy Ranking, and he's the first one to enter the Nine-Story Tower.
Because there has never been a case where one of the top fifty voluntarily gave up their spot in the tower.
Not only did this guy enter the tower, but he also gained some incredible benefits inside, and he directly formed his Nascent Soul!
At this point, those who initially doubted the best team were speechless.
"This best team is a bit strange. For the past few days, they've been stuck at the lowest level, and we thought they were the least talented. But we never expected things to turn out like this..."
"Who can argue with that? But it's obvious, they do have a first and second place, so they can't stay stuck on the first floor forever. Maybe they're just not in a hurry."
"Everyone says it now, but why didn't you say it in the beginning?"
"But is he really prepared for forming his Nascent Soul so hastily? Forming a Nascent Soul is no small matter. I saw my senior brother prepare for it for several years in advance. Master also gave him a lot of good things to help him overcome the tribulation."
"Whether he can successfully form a Nascent Soul or not will be clear by watching. He hasn't been at the peak of the Golden Core stage for very long, so it's unrealistic to expect him to be fully prepared."
...
Lu Wenxing indeed had not prepared anything for the Nascent Soul Tribulation.
In his mind, the transition from Golden Core to Nascent Soul would definitely take several years, but who knew that it would only take five months before he formed his Nascent Soul without any preparation.
However, it doesn't matter that Lu Wenxing wasn't prepared; don't forget that he's currently with his junior sister.
Shi Xuan had what Lu Wenxing didn't. Seeing that he was about to form his Nascent Soul, Shi Xuan took out a huge amount of pills and defensive magic artifacts from his storage space. The sheer quantity of these items gave Lu Wenxing more resources than an average cultivator would have prepared for several years to form his Nascent Soul.
If the cultivators outside knew this, they would probably be jealous for a long time.
Amidst the murmurs, Lu Wenxing had already taken the first blow.
