Heavenly Tribulation Baby: What are you babbling about?!
The lightning punishment you owe is enough for you to survive ten or twenty heavenly tribulations!
When the Heavenly Tribulation Baby became enraged, Shang Xiye was also forced to undergo a Heavenly Tribulation.
Shang Xiye, Ji Fengming, and Hei Xiao were all equipped with the Heaven-Covering Stone, which prevented the Heavenly Tribulation Baby from striking accurately, so the three of them were not seriously injured.
The horned python inside the cave and the patrolling guards at the cave entrance suffered greatly; the triple heavenly tribulation took more than six hours to finish.
When the tribulation clouds in the sky dispersed and the thunder and lightning ceased, the horned python was already motionless from the lightning, its breath coming in more gas than it was exhaling.
Two of the three patrol teams at the cave entrance were killed.
Only a few cultivators at the late stage of Core Formation were still clinging to life, but they were all limp and powerless on the ground.
Hei Xiao and Ji Fengming opened their eyes hand in hand, their eyes filled with gentle smiles, and there was no longer any barrier between them.
The two washed and combed themselves in the pool, changed into clean clothes, and went out to look for Shang Xiye. They were surprised to find that Shang Xiye was also covered in dirt and was combing and tying her hair by herself in a small pool.
"Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you? Did you burn yourself while sleeping in a fire?" Ji Fengming asked, completely bewildered.
Shang Xiye glanced at him without saying a word, then gave Hei Xiao a resentful look.
Black Owl felt embarrassed and touched his nose. He quietly tugged at Ji Fengming's sleeve and said in a telepathic message, "Say less, or we'll implicate Xiao Jiu when we undergo our tribulation."
Ji Fengming's expression stiffened, and a hint of embarrassment instantly appeared on his face. He chuckled awkwardly and said, "Well, my brother-in-law used to get struck by lightning all the time, so he got used to it. Once he got used to it, he'll be able to take the Heavenly Tribulation like a joke. It's a good thing!"
"Great thing, then I'll strike you down from the sky!" Shang Xiye glared at him, her anger rising.
"Hehehe... Of course not," Ji Fengming muttered with a carefree grin, feeling extremely pleased with himself.
Shang Xiye wasn't really holding a grudge against him. She turned and smiled at Hei Xiao, her eyes conveying a thousand words.
Black Owl smiled knowingly in return, and the matter of the past two days was thus put behind him.
The three men rekindled the fire, set out some game, and sipped their wine.
Black Owl picked a spiritual flower and herb from the pool and handed it to Shang Xiye, saying, "Little Jiu, take a look at this. Yao'er might need it."
When Shang Xiye saw the plant, his eyes widened immediately. He took it and examined it closely for a long time without saying a word.
Ji Fengming also had over a hundred of them in his storage ring, intending to return and claim credit with Ji Fengyao.
Not hearing Shang Xiye's words, he became anxious, afraid that his collection of useless flowers and plants would be wasted: "Brother-in-law, are these flowers and plants useful or not? Don't just look at them, tell us too."
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the legendary Flower of Life," Shang Xiye said, unable to contain his excitement.
Black Owl's expression turned strange upon hearing the words, "The living flower that grows on the shore of Mingjing Lake."
"What Mingjing Lake, what living flower, what are you talking about?" Ji Fengming was even more confused.
Black Owl turned his head to look at him, his long, narrow peach blossom eyes curving into a gentle smile: "Legend has it that after death, one must cross the River of Three Crossings and the River of Oblivion to reach the Bridge of Helplessness. After drinking the Soup of Forgetfulness to forget one's past life, one goes to the Three Lives Stone to determine one's next life, and finally goes to the Lake of Bright Mirror to be reincarnated and begin a completely new life. Along the banks of the River of Three Crossings and the River of Oblivion, there grows the Lycoris Radiata, a flower that blooms without leaves and has leaves without flowers."
