The path to immortality through demonic cultivation begins with devouring snakes to become immortals

But it's good to know that Pheasant and his gang won't be drafted.

He left behind such a large base of support; as long as these guys don't get arrogant, it's enough for them to live a comfortable life! Moreover, with sufficient resources, given time, they will definitely become beings who can rival, or even surpass, the clan-level geniuses!

Moreover... in Li Xiaobai's heart.

People like Yuan Yuan, Tao Mu, and Kong Ling don't deserve to be called clan-level prodigies.

Now that you've run into Brother Xiaobai, just see if he'll retaliate or not.

What is a clan-level prodigy?

Around the same age as them! Eighth Rank! Void Returning Stage! This is what you call a clan-level prodigy!

Besides... Xi, aside from being rude, is actually a pretty good person to be around...

Moreover, since she has locked herself in her cave, she can't cause any trouble for herself.

Li Xiaobai raised his head, let out a soft cry, retrieved a jade bottle from his storage ring, and took a big gulp.

"Sweet~"

Stalactite that's tens of thousands of years old!

The moment this thing went down his throat, his Awakening Points began to increase wildly! At the same time, a chilling aura burst forth from Li Xiaobai's body.

Just one big bite!

The terrifying power contained in the elixir directly began to challenge Li Xiaobai's barrier between the peak of the third rank and the fourth rank! For him, the so-called half-step fourth rank was simply a non-existent realm.

"This stuff is great!"

Li Xiaobai sighed sincerely, then took another big gulp, and the chilling aura intensified! At the same time, it was accompanied by an extremely strong aura, as if a living being was about to break through.

In an instant, a massive amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered above Li Xiaobai's cave, gradually condensing into a vortex.

Above the vortex of spiritual energy, dark clouds suddenly appeared and enveloped the area! The once sunny and breezy sky... almost instantly turned cold.

Xi, who had been meditating in the somewhat messy room, opened her eyes, a hint of doubt in her beautiful gaze.

This... doesn't seem right, does it?

Because the cave was protected by restrictions and a spirit-gathering array, Li Xiaobai had no sense of the outside world.

Realizing the potency of the lotion, he immediately tilted his head back and drank it...

This scene was witnessed by Xi, who appeared in the cave!

At this moment! Xi was truly horrified! What she saw! A demon who hadn't even broken through to the fourth rank had single-handedly consumed a bottle of 30,000-year-old stalactite liquid! And he even licked the bottle cap!!

Li Xiaobai: "Woo~"

"Click!!"

Xi moved in a flash, her jade hand grabbing Li Xiaobai's neck!

"You don't want to live anymore?!"

Li Xiaobai: "????"

"Is this how you drink it?!" Xi Liu's eyebrows shot up, but when her divine sense probed into Li Xiaobai's body, and she was about to turn him upside down and punch him in the stomach...

Xi: "???"

That can't be right... The terrifying power contained in that bottle of serum is enough to overwhelm a sixth-tier demon who specializes in physical cultivation! Moreover, even a sixth-tier demon couldn't possibly digest its medicinal power completely in a short time.

But where in Li Xiaobai's body... was there even a trace of the medicinal power of the elixir?

The anger on Xi Qiao's face vanished abruptly. "It'll be digested as soon as you drink it?"

"Senior Sister, are you trying to strangle me?"

Li Xiaobai gently touched the cool hand.

"It's alright, I won't die from overeating. My bloodline is somewhat special, and no matter how powerful the rare and precious herbs are, they can't kill me."

Li Xiaobai stared at Xi with her clear, bright eyes: "Is Senior Sister concerned about me?"

Xi then let go, and when she looked at Li Xiaobai's slightly trembling eyes, the light in her beautiful eyes subconsciously flickered away.

"I was afraid you'd waste such a good thing."

Xi glanced at the jade bottle, which was completely empty; the ginseng had been fed to the pigs.

After confirming that Li Xiaobai was really alright, Xi looked at him with pity: "Also, you've run into trouble."

Li Xiaobai: "Huh?"

"I don't know why you would attract a lightning tribulation when you break through to the fourth rank. Humans only attract lightning tribulations when they undergo tribulation to become immortals."

"Some exceptionally talented demons, who are not tolerated by heaven and earth, or who are guilty of heinous crimes, will indeed be struck by lightning tribulations, but I have never seen a fourth-order lightning tribulation."

Li Xiaobai: "Thunder...thunder tribulation?"

The cave doors were wide open.

Outside the door, the wind howled, and even the clear stream turned into murky puddles.

Even more, a sound like the roar of a savage beast came from above, and the sky, which was originally noon, became frighteningly dark.

Li Xiaobai quickly grabbed Xi's hand: "Senior Sister..."

"I can't help you."

Xi quickly shook off Li Xiaobai's hand and carried him out.

"This lightning tribulation won't kill you. If I intervene, the intensity of the lightning tribulation will be at the eighth or ninth level."

"If you're going to undergo tribulation, stay away, don't damage my house."

As she spoke, Xi threw Li Xiaobai far away, then sat on the bluestone, resting her chin on her hands and looking at the tribulation clouds in the sky.

Li Xiaobai: "……………"

As he moved, the tribulation clouds and the vortex of spiritual energy moved with him.

Li Xiaobai felt numb when he sensed that aura that seemed to be the might of heaven! No, it must be a problem with the cultivation technique he was practicing.

Even if my bloodline contains a hidden true dragon bloodline, isn't that a hidden bloodline? It shouldn't attract a heavenly tribulation.

"Damn it, God! I am a descendant of the Shangqing sect!"

"call!!!"

The spiritual energy vortex poured in directly! The bug that had been bothering Li Xiaobai for so long disappeared instantly, and his cultivation level broke through from the peak of the third rank to the fourth rank in an instant.

The golden core in his dantian shattered, and a small snake that looked exactly like Li Xiaobai's original body hatched out from it. The little snake, bewildered, flicked its pink tongue and began to work.

A spiritual energy ten times more abundant than before began to circulate within Li Xiaobai's body according to the method of the Upper Clearing Dragon Technique! In just a moment, Li Xiaobai's black hair, tinged with purple, grew several inches wildly.

There was a faint, obscure mark between his eyebrows, which added to his eerie aura.

Before he could fully control the power of the fourth-tier Nascent Soul stage, a bolt of crimson lightning suddenly struck down! It was as if... it was trying to completely erase something that shouldn't exist in this world.

Li Xiaobai: "C!!"

The storage ring flashed with light, and the Dragon Soul Sword appeared in his hand. Without saying a word, Li Xiaobai swung a sword light at the tribulation lightning!

The sword light came from... the Lesser Immortal Sword Technique!

This single sword strike was enough to kill any opponent Li Xiaobai had encountered since coming to this world, except for Xi, including the former prodigies of the three major clans.

Even this seemingly innocuous sword strike only dimmed the lightning bolt slightly.

Li Xiaobai swung his sword repeatedly, his figure constantly retreating! At this moment, the tribulation lightning was only three zhang away from Li Xiaobai! Finally, after the tribulation lightning advanced three zhang, it was completely engulfed by the sword light.

Xi frowned slightly.

Li Xiaobai...has just broken through and is no weaker than a mid-stage fourth-tier cultivator.

But this tribulation lightning…

A slightly hunched figure appeared beside Xi. Xi clasped her hands and bowed, saying, "Master."

The high priest nodded and casually patted Xi's head.

His cloudy old eyes were filled with solemnity.

"Your junior brother is in trouble."

He raised his hand, looking at the calamity clouds, his old eyes filled with a mixture of solemnity and nostalgia.

Such calamity clouds were very common in ancient times.

"This... is divine jealousy."
