The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 222 A Difficult Tribulation
Chen Jinshu never expected that the spiritual energy extracted from the lotus petal birthmark could bring her such great benefits!

She felt as if a huge square seal was pressing down on her head, with hundreds of thousands of kilograms of weight crashing down on her head.

It prevented her from moving an inch.

She was so nervous that her voice seemed to go hoarse, and a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on her slightly furrowed forehead.

In an instant, the weather turned gloomy again, and looking out through the gaps, everything was shrouded in a dark gray sky.

"I barely made it through the first two hurdles, this one shouldn't be too difficult for me!"

She casually took out the Green Jade Zither.

This zither has been with her for many years and has already been upgraded to the middle grade of the third rank. If it were to be tempered together under the purple-gold lightning tribulation, it might reach the upper grade of the third rank, close to the peak level.

This gave her even more confidence to face the Golden Core competition at the Five Continents Alliance.

"Absorbing the power of the lightning tribulation will also upgrade the Mysterious Female Treasure Furnace?"

The spiritual plant space attached to the Mysterious Female Treasure Furnace has long since become extraordinary. First, the spiritual fields have reached a scale that she cannot cultivate at all. With each major advancement, several acres are added. From the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the peak of Foundation Establishment, nine acres have been added.

The area has also increased several times.

There's no fear of not having a place to cultivate these spiritual plants. The key is that the flow rate has already reached twice that of the outside world. If it is upgraded to the Golden Core stage, it will probably increase to three times.

It shouldn't take long to go from Golden Core to Nascent Soul.

At this moment, the thought transmitted to her by the Mysterious Female Treasure Furnace was to absorb a portion of the purple lightning in order to nurture a lightning-inspired spiritual field and cultivate spiritual plants with lightning attributes.

Lightning-attribute spiritual plants have always been extremely rare in the cultivation world due to their limited growing conditions. If one could own one or two acres of lightning-attribute spiritual fields, it would be a great honor.

Whether she uses the cultivated lightning-attribute spiritual herbs to refine pills or temper her body, or sells them, she can reap huge profits.

"Jinshu! This Purple-Gold Lightning Tribulation is one in ten thousand, extremely rare. You must seize this opportunity! If you can absorb a few strands of Purple-Gold Lightning, it will greatly benefit your future cultivation!"

The sound of her master, Shui Huanmeng, came, which helped her concentrate and stop thinking about other things.

"Thank you for informing me, Master!"

Chen Jinshu spoke softly, and then took out the defensive pearl that her master had given her from her storage bag. It could block the most swift attack of the Golden Core Tribulation.

‘Boom——’

She looked up and saw dark clouds pressing down on the mountaintop like lead blocks, with thousands of electric snakes darting through the gaps in the clouds.

"Is this tribulation really something I can overcome?" Although she had this question in her mind, she was already prepared to face the tribulation at any time.

She stood up, and the soft grass on the ground collapsed under her feet, quickly leaving two three-inch footprints.

"Pah!"

The moment the lightning struck, Chen Jinshu immediately activated the defensive shield of the defensive orb. However, the hand holding the orb was still affected by the fine purple-gold current that traveled through the air to her hand.

The burning pain from the splitting flesh in her hand quickly reached her brain, and fine beads of blood seeped from her pores all over her body.

"One layer actually cracked!"

To Chen Jinshu's astonishment, the pearl activated three layers of defensive shields, the outermost layer emitting a crisp sound like shattering glass.

Soon she could smell the aroma of burning grass and insects coming from all around.

Although she was feeling very uncomfortable at the moment, she was unwilling to give up such a good opportunity to temper her physique.

She began to draw in the purple-gold lightning released into the air and channel it into her meridians. Her entire dantian was surging with spiritual energy, and her meridians seemed to be boiling over.

The golden core, tinged with purple at the very center of the dantian, spun rapidly under the stimulation of lightning, as if absorbing the power of the lightning tribulation.

A moment later, Chen Jinshu felt weak all over, barely able to stand. She squatted down, panting heavily. The purple-gold lightning pillar seemed to have added a thousand pounds of weight the instant it disappeared, pressing down on her bones and making them creak.

"Junior sister, are you alright?" The voices of her senior brothers and sisters asked, which brought a smile to her face.

"I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after a rest!" Chen Jinshu said, immediately taking out a second-grade high-quality Spirit Recovery Pill from his storage bag to restore his mental state.

With the help of the lotus petal birthmark on her forehead, the elixir was quickly broken down, then transformed into a large amount of pure medicinal properties, which penetrated into all the cells and pores of her body.

A few moments later, the tribulation lightning above was fully brewing once more.

The second bolt of tribulation lightning, carrying the residual power of the first, crashed down with a deafening roar, several times stronger than the first.

The originally sturdy second layer of defensive shield was easily shattered. No wonder Master said it could help withstand a lightning tribulation; it really could.

Having withstood half the power of the lightning tribulation, the entire defensive shield of the orb shattered.

Chen Jinshu was caught off guard and was immediately engulfed by the lightning bolt.

The moment the water was poured down, all 36,000 pores in her body burst open with blood mist, and her bones seemed to crack, as if a giant iron hammer had struck them.

"what--"

She felt an intense stinging pain all over her body. Just then, the lotus petal birthmark on her forehead transformed into a blue lotus platform, protecting her.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, she activated the jade pendant at her waist, conjuring up an even stronger barrier once again.

Seeing Chen Jinshu engulfed by the lightning pillar, Shui Huanmeng and the others nearby were on tenterhooks, unable to land.

"Can Junior Sister handle it?"

"Believe her!"

Enveloped by the lotus platform, Chen Jinshu became even weaker, supporting himself on the ground while holding the Green Jade Zither.

"so close!"

However, she did witness firsthand the power of being struck directly by lightning; her entire body felt as if her bones had shattered.

Before she could even react, the treasure furnace in her sea of ​​consciousness had absorbed an unknown amount of purple-gold lightning, its entire body enveloped in a faint purple hue, looking extremely mystical. It was as if something on the surface of the treasure furnace had been lit up, and several special patterns appeared.

When the second bolt of lightning receded, Chen Jinshu collapsed and squatted down again, the lingering lightning still coursing through his meridians like a trapped dragon.

The once thick and smooth hair now had a faint burnt smell.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Chen Jinshu was alright.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

When Chen Jinshu finished his tribulation, his whole body was enveloped by a blue lotus platform, and a faint blue spiritual energy emanated from the surroundings, with gold flashing in the center of the lotus platform.

It was as if a purple golden elixir had been born, illuminating the surroundings with continuous light.

"Junior sister succeeded!"

"The lotus platform protecting me is such a great blessing!"

Chen Jinshu did not expect that the final lightning tribulation was several times stronger than the previous two combined, and its power was immense. When she finished the tribulation, she was completely exhausted. With the lotus platform protecting her, she simply lay down.

The dark clouds that had been gathering all around dispersed, and the sky immediately cleared up.

"Several people have undergone tribulations here! There must be some treasure that has appeared!"

The sound coming from not far away made Shui Huanmeng and the others, who were hiding in the corner, narrow their eyes slightly, showing a hint of displeasure.

The new book has been released, and the contract will be signed tomorrow. It's a new genre, featuring a husband and wife both traveling to ancient times. Those who are interested can add it to their collection and follow along!
