"The Massacre Plain," Xu Lexian pondered, "I remember it was the most chaotic gathering place for independent cultivators in Qingzhou, right? Fugitives, wanted persons, and all kinds of people who have committed crimes like to hide there the most."
"us……"
Shui Qiu looked at her senior sister.
"How quickly will support from Shengxian Mountain arrive?"
Tang Xin looked at Xu Lexian.
"Under normal circumstances, it should have arrived by now," the Saint Girl shook her head. "If it hasn't arrived, it means that something must have gone wrong... But you just used the jade token to tell Senior Ling Hua about the situation. I guess she will pass the news on to the sect."
In other words, support may come slower than expected.
"In this case, it's not safe to stay in Thunder Valley," Tang Xin said solemnly, "It's better to sneak into the Mass Grave Plain, that way it will be easier to hide your tracks."
"Okay," Xu Lexian said without worrying about the situation, "I have never been to such a place in my life. If I can buy some special things, maybe it will help me recover all my strength!"
Although there are many pursuers, none of them is invincible. If the Saint can fully recover, she won't have to worry too much about this kind of threat.
[The main mission has been triggered]
[Use the lightning rod to draw upon the power of the thunder from the Thunder River to raise your cultivation to the Golden Core Stage. ]
[Quest Reward: Move "Summoning Thunder"]
Forced breakthrough? At this time?
Don't you know there are pursuers behind you? Can't you break through in a safe environment? You want to make the protagonist break through in battle, right?
[Murder strategy: Let the Saint help you protect the law, the murder points are 1,500. ]
"What's wrong?" Xu Lexian saw Tang Xin's expression change three times in a row within a breath, and couldn't help asking, "Are you disappointed that you can't deliberately rock back and forth to enjoy the touch when you carry me on your back?"
"I didn't do that... I have some bad news."
Tang Xin scratched his face as he spoke
"I'm about to break through..."
Chapter 117: Selling Art, Not My Body
For those who practice Taoism, the difficulty of a breakthrough at a small level and a breakthrough at a large level are completely different.
As long as one has enough talent and practices diligently, the promotion from the first rank to the second rank will come naturally. Even for a cultivator with extraordinary talent, the transition from foundation building to golden elixir is not something that can be achieved just by wishing to break through, otherwise the elders would not have spent so much time and effort on their disciples.
[The system mall intelligently recommends you: a customized breakthrough plan, which requires 100 persecution points. ]
[Plan 1: Hold the lightning rod, jump into the Thunder River, use the abundant thunder power of the Thunder Branch to cleanse yourself and condense the golden elixir. Disadvantage: The thunder power is difficult to control, and there is a high probability that the thunder will hit your head and your temperament will change drastically.]
[Option 2: Give the lightning rod to a cultivator with a higher realm, absorb the power of thunder that has been transferred once, cleanse oneself, and condense the golden elixir. Disadvantage: A cultivator with poor popularity may not be able to find help.]
If this were a protagonist, he would definitely choose option 1.
For them, a possible risk is equivalent to non-existence, and a benefit that is not necessarily obtained is equivalent to certainty.
But for a villain like her, risk is something that is almost certain to happen, and not necessarily getting it is the same as not getting it...
"Breakthrough?" Xu Lexian raised an eyebrow. "Isn't this good news? We will be safer if you become stronger?"
"Is Senior Sister going to become a Jindan cultivator?" Shui Qiu looked over with envy. "As expected of you, Senior Sister. You are both gentle and powerful..."
"The problem is," Tang Xin scratched his face and said awkwardly, "My breakthrough method is a bit special..."
She told the Saint about plan two.
The murder points were 1,500, which meant that jumping into the river to attract lightning was definitely more dangerous than it sounded. Maybe she would break through, but the saint would be trapped in it, and the main quest and the plot goal would be completed together...
As expected, after hearing this, Xu Lexian did not agree directly.
This is indeed too dangerous. Why don't we just ignore it and wait for the next opportunity to murder?
"Forget it, I'll think about it..."
"Of course you can," Xu Lexian suddenly said, "but you have to satisfy one of my requests first."
"What request?" Tang Xin became alert instantly. "I emphasize again that I am selling my art but not my body. Please don't make excessive demands on me."
"Not too much," the Saint thought for a moment and said, "You just need to make me laugh."
Laugh? What kind of weird request is that?
What should I do? How can I make the Saint smile?
[Generating options...]
[Option 1: Perform a handstand and spin in the air. ]
[1% success rate, bonus of physical fitness +. ]
[Option 2: Perform an explicit erotic dance.]
[1% success probability, reward: Color.Ment +.]
[Option 3: Use the overbearing way of the chief, hold the saint in your arms and say, "Little girl, you are very interesting."]
[1% success rate, reward: + villain temperament.]
There is no option that a normal person can think of...
The chief sister couldn't afford to lose face by performing a handstand, nor did she have the energy to do a scary dance.
There was no other way, so Tang Xin had to walk forward, put his front foot against the saint's heel, and gently tripped her, making her body at a 45-degree angle to the ground. The corners of his mouth slightly raised as he sneered.
"Girl, you are so funny."
Silence fell.
The awkward silence spread invisibly.
"Ha, ha, ha," Xu Lexian laughed, "What are you doing? How stupid! I thought you were going to perform some acrobatics like a handstand or a spin in the air!"
To be honest, she really wanted to throw the Saint Lady into the Thunder River...
"Okay, you're qualified," Xu Lexian stretched out his hand and said, "Where's the stuff?"
Tang Xin took out the lightning rod and handed it to the saint.
"You can use this to attract the thunder power in the Thunder River, right?" Xu Lexian looked at the "needle" that was thicker than his arm and said, "Then I can transfer the thunder power to you. It's not difficult."
"The power of thunder is a violent energy. It is quite dangerous to do this. You have to be careful."
Tang Xin said seriously.
"This Saint Lady is not so weak that you need to worry about her," Xu Lexian patted her shoulder, "Let's get started."
The few of them found a good lightning-drawing point, and Shui Qiu was on guard all around to prevent any enemies from appearing.
Xu Lexian took a deep breath and made a huge leap into the center of the riverbed filled with thunder branches.
sizzle-
In an instant, countless electric currents appeared above the riverbed, accompanied by a harsh noise, and spread rapidly like ripples.
The saint held up the lightning rod high, and several beams of electricity rose from the ground and gathered at its top.
Seeing this, Tang Xin sat down cross-legged on the shore, closed his eyes, circulated his Dantian, and entered a state of cultivation.
The electric current gathered at the top of the lightning rod became stronger and stronger, and Tang Xin's aura gradually grew uncontrollably.
Wait until both reach the peak together.
"coming!"
Xu Lexian pointed the lightning rod at the person on the shore, and clusters of electric current turned into lightning pillars, rushing straight towards Tang Xin.
Shui Qiu was watching from the side and didn't even dare to breathe.
Such a huge force of thunder is even stronger than the attack of a Jindan cultivator!
Senior sister is not a cultivator who specializes in cultivating the physical body, can she withstand it?
Just when the lightning column was about to come into contact with Tang Xin's body, it suddenly turned into countless energy threads and injected into her body. The expected horrible scene did not occur at all.
This……
The saint held the lightning rod in her hand, her brows slightly furrowed.
She didn't feel any special physical condition from Tang Xin, which was the strangest situation.
Without any special talents, she was able to possess such a level of strength that she even left behind a group of geniuses with special physiques.
Apart from the word "magical", I really can't find any other words to describe it.
Boom boom boom——
The gathered power of thunder blew the Thunder River up to the sky. In a chain reaction, powerful energy shocks continuously hit the Saint's Qi shield, making her look like a small boat in a big river that could capsize at any time.
"You must hold on for me at this time!"
Xu Lexian used his other hand to pinch the hand seals, and a faint mark appeared between his eyebrows, making him look more noble.
As the Saint of the Holy Immortal Mountain, I cannot owe favors to others casually. She saved me before, so now I must help her break through!
The surging sea of thunder was continuously input into Tang Xin's body through the mediation of the Saint.
But Tang Xin's aura did not change much.
not enough?
"Colorful light impact!"
Colorful light burst out from Xu Lexian's body, and with it, the energy of the entire sea of thunder was concentrated on the lightning rod, transforming into a huge thunder dragon, flying towards Tang Xin.
At the same time, the eldest sister of Xuanling Sect opened her eyes, opened her mouth slightly, and swallowed the Thunder Dragon at an extremely fast speed.
bang——
With Tang Xin as the center, a golden beam of energy shot up into the sky and pierced through the clouds!
Chapter 118: Kind-hearted Senior Sister
In the Thunder River, the energy storm gradually subsided.
The lightning rod in Xu Lexian's hand had been completely damaged due to excessive use and turned into a pile of scrap metal.
