Chapter 58: Tribulation Crossing, Pill Formed

After a long silence, Li Wuyou finally spoke. "Killing a Nascent Soul cultivator who hasn't used the Nascent Soul Breaking Pill rewards one hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones!"

So I have to spend one hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones to avert disaster with money? You didn't say this out loud, because you felt it wouldn't be that simple.

You remained silent again, waiting for Bai Wuxi's pill refinement to succeed.

One week later...

"Get ready, the pill is about to form!" Bai Wuxi undid the formation and said to you.

You immediately stood up and set up the fourth-tier Five Elements Phantom Spirit Formation in the cave residence, just in case.

"Let's move back a bit, be careful of the furnace exploding!" Bai Ruoxi also hurried to your side and spoke in a low voice.

At present, Bai Ruoxi's cultivation was still sealed by you, so she could only rely on you to protect her.

You pulled Bai Ruoxi into the air, moving away from the pill furnace.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you two going so far? It won't explode this time, trust me!" Bai Wuxi shouted at the two of you in the sky.

"Don't listen to him. This guy's furnace explodes nine times out of ten when he refines pills. He can't be trusted!" Bai Ruoxi exposed him without hesitation.

"Fine, so much for you being my sister. And this is how you expose my weak spots?" Bai Wuxi said in exasperation.

Suddenly, the pill furnace that had been stable for seven days began to shake violently.

Bai Wuxi was so frightened that he didn't dare linger either. He instantly came to your side, staring fixedly at the pill furnace below, his face a mixture of uncertainty and turmoil.

"Hmph, see? Just as I expected." Bai Ruoxi wasn't surprised at all.

Bai Wuxi scratched his head and muttered to himself, "That shouldn't be. I followed the pill formula exactly. How could something go wrong?"

"Believe in yourself!" You suddenly spoke up, patting Bai Wuxi on the shoulder to encourage him.

With Daoist Outrageous's divination beforehand, you didn't believe this pill refinement would fail.

Bai Wuxi's brow furrowed tightly. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said, "I understand now. So that's what it is. I've got it! Hahahaha!"

Who knew what had occurred to him. Bai Wuxi now seemed possessed, crazily forming one hand seal after another and slapping them into the pill furnace.

The pill furnace that had been shaking violently gradually stabilized. Before long, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky.

You sensed the aura of the Lightning Tribulation in the sky!

"The Lightning Tribulation? A peak-grade pill!" Li Wuyou's figure appeared, looking up at the sky and murmuring to himself.

"How can this be!" Li Wuyou looked down at Bai Wuxi, his face full of disbelief.

"Fellow Daoist, this pill-forming Lightning Tribulation will have to be left to you." Bai Wuxi came to your side and said to you.

You nodded, indicating you understood.

It's been a while since I cultivated the Heavenly Lightning Body-Refining Art. Today I'll let it advance another step! You thought to yourself.

Thus, under everyone's astonished gazes, you alone charged into the Lightning Tribulation!

"This... he just charged in like that? He can't be crazy, can he!" Bai Wuxi was so frightened his eyeballs were about to pop out.

"Hey, aren't you going in to protect him? If he dies, your hiring fee is gone." Though Bai Ruoxi was also nervous, she didn't show it. Instead, she reminded the Spirit Transformation cultivator beside her.

Li Wuyou shook his head and refused. "Compared to such a small hiring fee, my life is more important."

"Besides, since he dared to charge in, he must have confidence in his heart."

Charging into the tribulation clouds, sensing the Heavenly Tribulation power all around, you fully circulated the Heavenly Lightning Body-Refining Art, madly absorbing the power of the Heavenly Lightning.

The Heavenly Lightning a fourth-tier peak-grade pill needed to pass through was twice as strong as the Four Nine Heavenly Tribulation required to break through to the Nascent Soul stage!

An ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator, without a powerful technique in hand, would probably find it hard to withstand.

The powerful Heavenly Lightning force filled your body, tempering your flesh and blood, reforging your bones!

Even your meridians were tempered by the Heavenly Lightning force, growing tougher and tougher.

Your physical body strength began to increase. At the same time, the pain you endured grew more and more intense.

If you wanted to become stronger, suffering was unavoidable.

Facing the immense pain of the Heavenly Lightning force tempering your body, you could only hold fast to the One, steady your mind, and speed up the Heavenly Lightning body refinement.

Outside, Bai Ruoxi watched the Lightning Tribulation that never once descended, murmuring to herself, "What's going on here? Why hasn't the Heavenly Lightning fallen yet? He... he won't be in trouble, will he?"

"The power of the Heavenly Lightning has weakened..." Li Wuyou spoke up.

"How on earth did he do it?" Bai Wuxi couldn't understand this move.

Bai Ruoxi quietly nudged Bai Wuxi and whispered in his ear, "Hurry, help me undo my cultivation seal!"

Hearing this, Bai Wuxi glanced at Bai Ruoxi in surprise. "Your cultivation is sealed? Who did it?"

"Seriously, you're only just seeing it now? So much for being a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!" Bai Ruoxi was somewhat speechless.

"Ahem, I thought you were hiding your cultivation." Bai Wuxi smiled awkwardly.

"Stop the nonsense. Hurry up and undo my cultivation. Once he comes back, it won't be easy to do!"

"Oh, oh, right." Bai Wuxi pressed two fingers together and pointed at Bai Ruoxi's forehead. The Nascent Soul stage spiritual power burst forth, breaking through the cultivation seal!

Bai Ruoxi's ninth-layer Golden Core cultivation returned. At this moment, she wished she could throw back her head and howl at the sky to express her joy.

You, currently borrowing the Heavenly Lightning to refine your body, naturally sensed it. The seal you had placed on Bai Ruoxi had been broken from the outside.

But you were at the critical moment of body refinement, so you did not waver. Compared to one Bai Ruoxi, increasing your strength was naturally more important.

Soon, your Heavenly Lightning Body-Refining Art successfully stepped into the mid third layer, your physical body strength roughly on par with a sixth-layer Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist, that's about enough. Leave some Heavenly Lightning to temper the pill!" Below, Bai Wuxi's voice came, reminding you.

At these words, you opened your eyes, looked at the greatly diminished Heavenly Lightning force, and slowly rose.

"What do we do next?" You left the tribulation clouds, came to Bai Ruoxi's side, and asked Bai Wuxi.

"Leave the rest to me!" Bai Wuxi chuckled and came to the pill furnace, preparing the final pill-refining step.

At your sudden appearance, Bai Ruoxi was inwardly panicked, like she had done something wrong, lowering her head and not daring to look at you.

You glanced at Bai Ruoxi and said nothing. The Nascent Soul Breaking Pill was about to be in hand. Your deal with Bai Ruoxi was over, so naturally there was no need to seal her cultivation anymore.

As for Li Wuyou, the Spirit Transformation cultivator, he sized you up and thought to himself, He's gotten stronger again!

Below, the pill furnace opened. The fourth-tier Nascent Soul Breaking Pill was born!

Under Bai Wuxi's urging, it slowly approached the tribulation clouds, using the last trace of Heavenly Lightning force to temper the pill, bringing it to fourth-tier peak grade!

"Fourth-tier peak-grade Nascent Soul Breaking Pill. Done!"
