After cultivating immortality, she devoted herself to becoming an ancestor

Chapter 97 Cool Slash

Not far away, the mother clam, seeing that they were no longer suffering from lightning, suddenly felt a pang of regret and jumped out.

Despite the pain, it flew towards the treetops, braving the lightning, determined to pluck some thunder-spirit dates to relieve its agony.

Unexpectedly, upon touching the tree branch, the clam's entire body was surrounded by countless lightning nets, leaving it trembling, unable to go up or down.

Shen Suiren had been keeping an eye on it the whole time. Upon seeing this, he quickly ran over, drew his sword, and shattered it in the blink of an eye. "Cheng Zhishun, please help me. It's the one that found the Dragon Ball."

“I think Senior Brother Cheng sounds nice, so you can call him that from now on.” Cheng Zhishun had just wanted to make this request and get her to agree.

Now that there's an opportunity to make more money off her, seize the moment and say so.

"Okay." Anyway, he's Master's son and older than me.

Shen Suiren clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Senior brother, please excuse me?"

“You are teachable. Apart from your Taoist name, don’t call others by their full name in the future, or you will offend people.” Cheng Zhishun didn’t know where she learned this bad habit.

Shen Suiren was slightly taken aback. He was used to calling people by their full names in his mortal life, and he hadn't noticed it until he mentioned it: "I'll listen to my senior brother."

Cheng Zhishun then stepped forward and said, "As for the condition for teaching you this trick, it's that you owe me a favor."

"You're charging me twice." Shen Suiren glanced at him sideways, refusing to agree.

Cheng Zhishun stood still: "I won't agree to save it, nor will I teach you."

Seeing the two locked in a stalemate, the Little Fox King couldn't help but remind them: "At the beginning of the year, when the Azure Clam Mother cultivates to the peak of the seventh rank, she can automatically transfer most of the attacks she receives to her contractor."

That's why I wanted to hit it when it said it was time to sign the contract.

“Then, Master Uncle, now…” Shen Suiren immediately agreed to Cheng Zhishun.

The latter was equally efficient, taking out a valuable item from his storage ring.

At the same time, the lightning shield that was teleported to the spirit field felt the force of the lightning strike on its body increase.

However, his spiritual power is currently locked in his dantian, preventing him from using his cultivation technique to refine the lightning.

Moreover, none of the storage tools could be opened, and without any elixirs to alleviate the damage, he had no choice but to suffer in silence.

Although his hair didn't turn to ash, it exploded into a messy, sprawling shape, and electric currents coursed through his body, leaving several bloody welts.

The key issue is that his internal organs are in pain, causing him to cough up blood from time to time.

"Your temporary spirit beast is a real pain in the neck." Senior Brother Xun Gui, who was guarding him, threw down his scythe and berated the culprit.

He vented all the discomfort of returning to mortal life and losing spiritual power and consciousness.

"It seems to have stopped." Lei Dun slowly opened his eyes and saw Fan Liyue rushing back.

He then took out a pill bottle and poured out the medicine: "Senior brother, I have borrowed some pills. Please take them quickly."

Just as Lei Dun was about to speak, he suddenly noticed the Taiyi Sect symbol on the pill bottle. "Who are you looking for?"

“Lian Qiao, she has a lot of pills in her treasure bracelet.” Fan Liyue was surprised that her senior brother had put the pills back, and his attitude was firm.

"Don't eat it, go and give it back to her."

"why?"

"For no reason." In this area, even the Core Formation cultivators harvesting rice in the fields are listening intently. Lei Dun wouldn't tell his junior disciple that he was particularly wary of Lian Qiao.

He is currently in the early stages of protecting the year and owes Lianqiao a favor. If there is a conflict between the two parties, it is easy to make a mistake in judgment.

The senior brother Xun Gui whispered, "Li Yue, Lian Qiao herself is still injured, so it's not advisable to use her pills."

"Senior Brother Ke Lei..." Her own treasure chain contained only pills that could enhance cultivation, so she couldn't use it to heal her senior brother.

Lei Dun took a deep breath: "Give her back."

Senior Sister Wan and Senior Brother Lu went to thresh rice; the best purple rice has excellent healing properties.

Seeing that he indeed didn't want it, Fan Liyue packed it up and prepared to send it back, but then heard her senior brother say, "Give her a gift for me to express my gratitude."

She nodded slightly: "Yes."

Lei Dun followed her with his gaze, and soon he saw Lian Qiao's location in the distance. "Senior Brother Xun Gui, which sect's disciple is she teaming up with to harvest wheat?"

When he was first teleported, he was not disturbed by the inexplicable lightning strike and observed it carefully.

Only Lianqiao from the Taiyi Sect who had reached the Core Formation stage landed in the Spirit Field; the others were not teleported here. Of course, not all of their Immortal Wandering Sect and other sects were here either.

"He seems to be a rogue cultivator; I've never seen him before."

Ask Li Yue later if she remembers that person.

You should take good care of yourself. I need to finish harvesting the spirit rice quickly. I really don't know which senior set up this magic array. I have to harvest the rice and replant it myself before I can pass the test.

"I've forgotten how many years it's been since I personally planted and harvested the spirit fields." In order to leave as soon as possible, Master Xun Gui had no choice but to go down to the fields to harvest rice again.

Lei Dun frowned as he looked at Lian Qiao, feeling that he had seen the female cultivator harvesting rice beside her somewhere before.

As he was carefully searching through his past memories, another jolt of electricity ran through him, jolting him out of his thoughts.

Meanwhile, the clam mother, having escaped the lightning net and landed, was once again entangled by the electric currents flowing across the ground.

It spoke weakly: "Spirit Beast Bracelet."

Shen Suiren not only put it into the bracelet, but also gave it a Great Rejuvenation Pill: "Eat it."

Knowing that she didn't want Master Lei to suffer, the mother clam quickly absorbed and refined the essence, despite the mockery of the two little fox kings.

After eating the Thunder Spirit Dates she brought in, the pain in his body was immediately relieved. So she used telepathy to climb the tree and said, "Pick more of the half-green and half-red ones with lots of juice, they'll be the most effective."

"Hmm." Nodding as he pleased, Shen Suiren, carrying the Bagua compass made of lightning-struck wood, casually chopped off branches, doing whatever was most convenient for him.

Picking just one kind of fruit would make her hands smoke many times, and the Bagua compass only protects her front and back, allowing her to climb trees while braving lightning, but it can't protect her outstretched hands and feet.

"Cheng Zhishun, you'd better watch out. If the jujubes fall to the ground and turn to dust, then all my work will have been for nothing." She was standing on a tree branch, chopping down branches full of jujubes with her bare hands, without being picky.

"Call me senior brother."

"You liar, using the Dragon King's Bagua Plate for defense is not a secret technique or a quick move at all."

"Call me... Senior... Brother." Cheng Zhishun simply ignored the branch she threw down, letting the jujube disappear as soon as it touched the ground.

Shen Suiren didn't shout, but picked the nearby dates and threw them into her storage ring: "No, I'll keep them myself. Anyway, you're the one who will suffer the loss."

"You!" Cheng Zhishun was furious. He watched as she put handfuls of dates into her storage ring, and since he couldn't climb the tree to grab the Bagua Plate, he snorted coldly, "Cut off the branches. It's a waste to just pick dates from this tree full of lightning-struck spiritual materials."

Shen Suiren chuckled and tossed him a large red date: "Senior Brother Cheng, I think it would suit you quite well if you changed your name to Cheng Three-Year-Old."

"Then you are Shen Er Sui, no, one year old." Cheng Zhishun understood her mockery and took a big bite out of half a date.

The little fox king, inside the spirit beast bracelet, couldn't understand: "What is the relationship between Sui Chu and the descendants of the Dragon King?"

"I don't know." The Demon King was too lazy to analyze. He trembled all over when he glanced at the thunder outside and really wanted Sui Chu to leave as soon as possible.

But how could that be? For cultivators, a whole grove of Thunder Spirit Fruit trees is a treasure.

After getting used to the lightning, it would be a shame not to do some serious looting after being struck by lightning.

Shen Suiren and Cheng Zhishun worked together to cut down branches from several trees. They also found Juexing, Niaoniao and Qiu Lu, shared the spirit dates, and then took turns climbing the trees to help prune the branches and reduce their burden.

With so many people, they only picked the most mature spiritual fruits and cut branches suitable for refining weapons.

"Fellow Daoist Nie, I wonder where he fell." Qiu Lu was with him at the time.

"I saw him fall here too, but I don't know his exact location." At this moment, a cultivator who was adapted to lightning slowly walked over, wanting to join the date-picking team.

Seeing how easily they managed to harvest the Thunder Spirit Fruit and cut down so many lightning-struck trees made me envious.

"If you're willing to pay 30% of the proceeds to rent the Thunder-Controlling Plate, then it's fine." They gave the Dragon King's Bagua Plate a fitting name. In Shen Suiren's view, many hands make light work, and taking turns climbing the tree could reduce the damage from lightning strikes to each person.

This allows the other teammates to rest properly so they can focus on using lightning to train their bodies, a win-win situation for everyone.

Without a mortal feud, it doesn't matter whether one is a Daoist or a Demonic being. Unless one has a lightning spiritual root, no one can use spells or fight here.

Of course, it's impossible to cut down one or two trees completely; everything should be done in moderation.

So, as they moved from tree to tree with larger and more abundant fruit, the line grew longer and longer, and the number of people increased.

Shen Suiren himself hadn't had a chance to climb trees for a long time, and was just making the most of his time to constantly train his body.

This attracted the attention of the monsters who were hiding everywhere, and they all wanted to come and learn from their experience.

Then, a fiery red fox demon, wearing a defensive talisman, ran over and rushed straight at Shen Suiren, "Fellow Daoist Suichu, is the Heavenly Fox King here?"
More than ten foxes from my clan are trapped in a deep minefield and have come to the Heavenly Fox for help.

"A fifth-tier fox that can speak?"

"He must have eaten some kind of spiritual herb, which dissolved his fracture bone in advance."

"They actually know Sui Chu."

"The fur is so beautiful, I'll make one..."

"Shh, look at it using a talisman, it must have a certain status in the fox clan." Ordinary demons don't really use talismans, and even if they get something from a cultivator, they don't know how to use it.

While the cultivators were exchanging ideas, Shen Suiren asked the little fox king for his opinion: "This fifth-tier fox knows me, so it's probably a direct descendant of the fox clan leader, right? Should we save it or not?"

"Save them. The supplies the Fox Clan Chief has provided me over the past few years have been top-notch." The Little Fox King wasn't heartless.

At the hour of Si (9-11 AM), he said, "That's the fox clan chief trying to deceive you; he'll pay for it sooner or later."

After a moment's thought, Shen Suiren extended her wrist and said, "Do you dare to enter my spirit beast bracelet and take me there?"

Fire Fox hesitated and stepped back. Then he saw so many cultivators staring at him, especially those with the insignia of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, whose eyes were shining.

It asked nervously, "You... will let me go?"

The little fox king said, "You're a very loyal and friendly cultivator?"

Yao Niaoniao laughed from the side, "You came to ask for help, but you don't believe her. How can she save you?"

She knew that the Little Fox King was currently inside the Spirit Beast Bracelet, and his silence indicated that their relationship wasn't close.

Zong Rou from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect spoke up, saying, "It seems that people don't raise spirit beasts at the beginning of the year."

"But she will give away low-level divine beasts." Fire Fox is most afraid of the people of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Their methods of capturing young beasts are hard to guard against.

These words drew laughter, as even the demon race had a great reputation at the beginning of the year.

Cheng Zhishun laughed the loudest: "You must take me next time."

“I’ll sign up too,” Qiu Lu immediately raised her hand.

Juexing pushed past them: "I'll go first."

Shen Suiren coughed twice, ignoring everyone's teasing, and said seriously to Fire Fox, "If you want to walk outside in the lightning, that's fine too. I'll help you out on behalf of the Little Fox King."

Then he said to the group of cultivators, "Is there anyone who wants to go to the Deep Thunder Zone to see for themselves?"

"Pick as many of these fully ripe spirit dates as possible; perhaps there are other spirit fruits deeper inside."

"Yes, yes, there are spiritual fruits that shimmer with golden light, but I don't know what they're called."

"They're so beautiful." The Fiery Fox knew how to arouse the cultivator's greed.

Sure enough, its meager description instantly piqued the interest of the cultivators, who all expressed their willingness to stay.

Shen Suiren once again became the leader of the team, but the deeper they went into the minefield of Fiery Fox Territory, the denser the minefield became.

Everyone gradually felt a stronger electric current entering their bodies, and even eating two Leiling jujubes couldn't keep them up.

After someone suggested pausing, Firefox, worried that they might not leave, immediately said, "I can withstand this lightning net just by smelling that golden fruit."

Some have questioned: "What about the other foxes? They must have smelled it too, and they still got trapped, didn't they?"

Some even looked at us with hostility: "Could it be that you're leading us into a trap?"

"No, no, you should believe me at the beginning of the year."

"I just happened to get this." To prove himself, Fiery Fox tore off a piece of thunder dragon scale from under his neck.

This immediately attracted several intense gazes, which frightened it so much that it stayed close to Shen Suiren's leg and dared not move.

"Those who don't want to go can turn back." Shen Suiren glanced at the faces of dozens of people. Wanting the treasure but not wanting to suffer? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Sensing the excitement of the green leaves in her sea of ​​consciousness, she was determined to explore it.

In a flash, her friends quickly took their places behind her.

Niao Niao patted her arm, "I definitely have to go."

After patting him, he found that the lightning energy rushing into his body had weakened, so he quickly asked Qiu Lu and the others to try it, and they felt the same way.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the Thunder Control Plate, and its value subsequently rose to a new level.

Before long, a long, serpentine formation appeared behind Shen Suiren, with each cultivator holding a lightning-struck jujube wood branch, placing it on the shoulder of their teammate in front, and striding forward.

The deeper they went, the heavier the lightning became. Everyone slowed their pace and solemnly observed the lifeless trees on both sides, destroyed by the lightning.

These dead trees cannot strictly be called lightning-struck trees; it is precisely because they are not there to share the force of the lightning that this road is even more difficult to travel.

The Little Fox King kept a close eye on the Fire Fox and communicated with Sui Chu through their souls in the Sea of ​​Consciousness: "If it dares to have any evil intentions, kill it immediately."

"I feel like it's not lying." Shen Suiren's intuition was very accurate.

Cheng Zhishun muttered behind her, "You've managed to be the good guy."

Shen Suiren turned her head: "How about we switch seats?"

"No." Cheng Zhishun pushed her head back. There were few demonic cultivators and many Taoist cultivators in the group, and he would not stand at the front to take the lightning, even if there was a lightning control plate to block the lightning.

Juexing, who was behind him, tapped him with a hastily prepared branch: "Are you bullying Suichu again?"

"I'll be thankful if she doesn't bully me." Cheng Zhishun turned around and glared at him, thinking, "You're everywhere."

Juexing glared back, "Then stop talking like a resentful man."

"You bald monk..." Cheng Zhishun turned around to argue with his fists, but the moment the branch hit the ground, he and his teammates were all electrocuted.

“You’re bald now too.” Juexing’s opinion of him had changed somewhat, but not much, and he quickly retorted.

"Cheng Zhishun, what are you doing up there?" Lu Fang, a demonic cultivator who was also in the group, yelled at him.

Shen Suiren quickly turned around and said, "Cheng Zhishun, you can be the leader and enjoy the feeling of being a good guy."

Then, without saying a word, he slapped the Thunder Control Plate onto his back and tied it there.

Cheng Zhishun couldn't refuse, because Juexing was holding him tightly, "Can't I even vent my frustrations?"

"You can mutter whatever you want, but I can't say a word to Juexing?"
"From now on, I'll call you Cheng Three-Year-Old." Shen Suiren was feeling terrible about being hit with this, but she finally found a chance to pass the buck.

Cheng Zhishun braved the piercing gazes of the crowd, but he couldn't take it for long. It was as if the lightning meant for others had gathered on him instead.

Regretful: "At the beginning of the year, you didn't utter a sound even though you were in so much pain. Should we try rotating shifts again?"

But seeing that she remained unmoved, he softened his tone, saying, "I was just feeling a bit uneasy, so I was trying to distract myself."

Shen Suiren's first reaction was, "Is your master in trouble?"
