The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

Lin Du swallowed the Azure Jade Pill; she had now gotten used to swallowing pills whole.

As soon as she swallowed the pill, she realized the difference between the one produced by the system and the one produced by Jiang Liang.

Jiang Liang's pills were used when she had unbearable heart pain, but they could only suppress it. However, as long as she took this Ningbi Pill, her daily persistent dull pain disappeared. The weakness that she could feel when her heart was uncomfortable was completely isolated as if she were wrapped in thick beeswax.

She sighed softly. "As expected of a system."

I originally thought that I could use Jiang Liang to my advantage and then discard him later, but it seems I'll have to wait until I'm fully recovered before making any plans.

She took a deep breath, and the stubborn ailment in her lungs had been half resolved with just one Qi-boosting and Qi-relieving pill. After two months of purging with the icy spring and nearly half a month of bitter medicine, her lungs were now almost 80% clear.

This second pill is perhaps the most suitable for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Lin Du took the pill he had been keeping all along.

"That feels good." She sighed and sat down to meditate properly.

A cool medicinal power spread from her stomach, and then her meridians quickly began to circulate. Lin Du took a deep breath and then began to breathe according to the breathing method that Yan Ye had always taught her.

The boy sat cross-legged on the ice bed, his eyes, which sometimes held a hint of aloofness or even hostility, now relaxed and closed, giving his face a serene and otherworldly air.

Just a few breaths later, the surrounding spiritual energy surged forth like a giant, devouring dragon suddenly appearing in the deep sea, forming a massive vortex around the boy.

At the same time, the white-haired youth who had been sitting quietly on Luo Ze suddenly stood up and teleported to the outside of a stone cave.

He stood outside the cave entrance, his divine sense sweeping over the sign hanging on the door with hemp rope. The words on it, written in a flamboyant style, read: "Please do not disturb."

Yan Ye scoffed lightly, a smile appearing on his face. "Little brat, not much skill, but plenty of tricks."

The young man raised his hand, and several objects emitting a faint silver light flew out from his sleeve, landing around the cave. They quickly connected to form a barrier, and the silver light disappeared into the air in an instant.

Yan Ye turned and left, and everything behind him remained as usual, as if he had never been there.

Lin Du was completely unaware of everything happening around him.

She could feel herself absorbing more and more spiritual energy, which flowed endlessly through her body, causing her dantian to swell uncontrollably, to the point that it felt like it was about to explode.

Lin Du wanted to stop absorbing spiritual energy, but she couldn't control it at all. This body was like a never-satisfied glutton, and it was likely that the entire banquet would end up in her stomach.

She could only endure the swelling caused by the squeezing and colliding of spiritual energy within her dantian. Even the meridians in her body were constantly being washed away by the massive influx of spiritual energy, as if she were forcibly stuffing an elephant into a refrigerator called Lin Du.

She was forced to endure this pain, just as she was exhausted in the icy spring before being swept into the still lake by the flood. She had the will but not the strength, so she could only do nothing and let the flood rage on.

Finally, the spiritual energy within the dantian increased and became more and more crowded, but the dantian could not expand or contract.

As is well known, gases can turn into liquids under high pressure.

The moment the spiritual liquid appeared in his dantian, Lin Du breathed a sigh of relief.

Before she could truly relax, even more spiritual energy surged into her body.

Lin Du couldn't stop it, so he simply lay down and let it all go, letting the spiritual liquid in his dantian increase little by little, watching the countless glowing droplets slowly merge and converge.

The spiritual energy vortex gradually shrank from a violent tornado into an ordinary vortex.

As the moon set and the sun rose, Lin Du's body finally felt satisfied.

She opened her eyes, raised her hand to open the door of the cave, and walked out.

The sky should have been clear and bright overhead, but now dark clouds loomed over the city, obscuring the sun.

Lin Du looked into the distance and found that the sky was still clear and sunny elsewhere.

She stood quietly in place and noticed that her master was standing far away, watching her quietly.

"Master, do you believe it or not, even the laws of Heaven listen to me. For example, right now, if I let lightning strike me, it wouldn't dare strike anyone else."

As Lin Du spoke, he raised his hand, "Lei Lai."

Yan Ye's eyelids twitched, and he cursed, "You little brat."

The already thickening tribulation clouds sensed the chosen person, and a purple light flashed within the dark clouds, causing Lin Du to feel a sudden numbness.

She didn't notice that the lightning seemed to be intercepted by some invisible barrier the instant it struck her, and the lightning that hit her was much thinner and dimmer.

Almost a second later, just as she was cursing in pain, a thunderclap drowned out her cries.

Very well, even the cultivation world cannot defy the laws of physics; the speed of light is greater than the speed of sound.

The thought immediately came to Lin Du's mind. Then, feeling the electric current surging through her body, she tentatively mobilized her spiritual energy to regulate it.

Just as she was about to finish sorting things out, the second tribulation arrived without warning.

The third dish, the fourth dish... Lin Du smelled the aroma of electric grilled meat.

Then he cursed, "I don't want to eat barbecue for half a month."

She barely managed to sit on the ground, her eyes closed, not caring which lightning bolt it was. Every pore on her body felt like it had been accidentally hit by static electricity in winter; the pain, accompanied by a numbing sensation, continued to ripple through every inch of her skin.

Lin Du had no time to care about his external appearance; he only focused on looking inward at his body, where all his meridians, internal organs, and bones were being shaped and polished by lightning.

Whether it was due to spiritual energy or not, her mind was still relatively clear.

Yan Ye was blind, so he couldn't see with his eyes, nor could he sense with his divine sense at this moment, otherwise it would interfere with the judgment of the Heavenly Dao. He could only listen to the sounds coming from that place.

Lin Du had never cried out in pain in front of him, and it was the same now; he couldn't hear any feedback from Lin Du.

This was a huge gamble. Even if the formation he set up blocked some damage within the limits allowed by the Heavenly Dao, it was still a drop in the ocean for the physically weak Lin Du.

Because he had his divine sense projected outwards as his eyes, Yan Ye had long been indifferent to his blindness. But today, for the first time, he had a thought: how wonderful it would be if I could see.

For many years, probably since the day he began his spiritual practice, he had never had such a thought again.

Yan Ye blinked gently, his white eyelashes trembling slightly, like snow falling from a branch.

"Lin Du is still alive." A voice reached his ears.

Yan Ye raised an eyebrow in surprise, slightly extending his divine sense to focus only on what was behind him. "Jiang Liang?"

"This tribulation lightning is stronger than the ordinary tribulation lightning of the first nine heavens. Your formation blocked 50%, which is equivalent to the strength of an ordinary tribulation lightning of the first nine heavens."

Jiang Liang stroked his beard, ignoring Yan Ye, and focused on the lightning tribulation.

"That shouldn't be the case. My tribulation was only 30% stronger than a typical Foundation Establishment tribulation. Could it be that my disciple has higher talent than me?"

Yan Ye frowned. "Is the Heavenly Dao getting old and senile? Or does it simply not want Lin Du to live?"

"Watch your words," Jiang Liang interrupted him.

Yan Ye turned his head, a look of worry on his face, "This is the last one."

"Lin Du is capable; she's stronger than we imagined." Jiang Liang paused, then added, "As long as she has a breath left, I can save her."

Yan Ye clicked his tongue.

The people of the Supreme Sect each have an absolute, blind confidence in their own area of ​​expertise.
