Chapter 17: Little Sister Chi Miao, you died such a tragic death!

Ying Wuhuo nodded.

Jin Shengfei explained, "Yes, every medicine has some side effects. You've taken so much. You can calculate the total yourself, little sister Chi Miao... good luck."

Chi Miao gasped.

No, she's going to send it after just two bites of the pill?

She's only lived to be fifteen!

Chi Miao lay down on the ground and said, "Fine, then I'll get ready to die."

She looked utterly hopeless, like a machine that had lost its power source.

Ying Wuhuo found it both funny and absurd.

"Are you really unaware or pretending not to know? Pills do contain toxic substances, but everyone has a certain level of immunity and ability to neutralize these toxins. Those who can neutralize them well can almost ignore them, but if you were someone who couldn't neutralize them well, you would have been in trouble by the time you had consumed half of it."

Chi Miao: "Really?"

Jin Shengfei: "Is that so? No wonder Chi Miao didn't die."

Chi Miao: "Jin Shengfei, what do you mean? Do you really want me dead?!"

Jin Shengfei: "Only a little bit."

Chi Miao: "Get out!"

Ying Wuhuo: "..."

Two idiots.

He was speechless, but he couldn't help but look Chi Miao up and down.

To be fair, even someone with good conversion abilities would find it almost impossible to be as healthy as Chi Miao, who could consume such a large amount of pills in a short period of time and still be able to jump around and argue with people.

Chi Miao's physique is nothing short of monstrous... truly defying the heavens.

Even if it were him eating that much, there would definitely be problems.

After resolving this doubt, Chi Miao's gaze fell on the newly completed lightning rod. She walked to the corner, touching it as she said, "It feels pretty good."

One knowledgeable person chimed in, "That's certainly excellent. It's forged from countless spiritual artifacts. Even if used as a magic weapon, it would definitely be a high-grade Earth-level magic treasure."

Chi Miao: "That's great."

She looked at the lightning outside.

"Next, we just need to see if it actually works."

This is very important.

The next second, everyone silently stood in a row and bowed deeply to Chi Miao.

Chi Miao: "What do you mean by this?"

Everyone said in unison, "May you have a safe journey!"

Chi Miao: "..."

Stop acting like she's definitely going to die, okay?!

Chi Miao took a deep breath and tried to move the lightning rod.

"Huh!"

The lightning rod in front of him weighed several thousand kilograms, and even with his spiritual power, Chi Miao found it difficult to move.

Jin Shengfei: "It's okay, I have a talisman here called the Feather Talisman. No matter how heavy something is, as long as this thing is attached to it, it will become as light as a feather."

Jin Shengfei pressed it against him, and Chi Miao easily lifted it up.

Her eyes lit up: "You have quite a lot of props!"

Jin Shengfei: "Of course! As the saying goes, even the best kung fu master is afraid of a kitchen knife. If you're not very skilled when you're out and about, it's good to have some other preparations!"

Chi Miao smiled.

"In that case, I'll go for it. You all wait for my good news."

Chi Miao carried the lightning rod on his shoulder and rushed straight out of the cave.

The thunderous chaos outside the cave was even more intense than before, and everyone was so nervous that they could hear their own heartbeats.

Chi Miao closed her eyes and gathered her spiritual energy at her feet.

"I'm going!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Miao rushed outside.

Instead of erecting a lightning rod, she darted through the thunderstorm at breakneck speed, with several bolts of lightning whizzing past her.

She was so frightened that her face turned pale.

"Mommy! Don't chop me up!"

Each time, she skillfully dodged the lightning with a nimble and stylish movement, leaving the others inside the tree hollow dumbfounded.

I can't help but sigh.

"Luckily it was her who went; if it were anyone else... they would have been killed halfway there."

Chi Miao swam for about three minutes before finally arriving at a spacious place where he could maintain a safe distance from the crowd.

"We should be about here."

She took a deep breath and carefully erected the lightning rod.

Then, tear off the Light Feather Talisman!

Snapped--!

The lightning rod pierced the ground with a dull thud.

Everyone watched the top of the lightning rod with bated breath, wondering if it would successfully attract lightning.

This is a gamble, the culmination of everyone's hard work, it has to succeed!

The thunderclouds above the sword mound, interspersed with flashes of lightning, grew increasingly dense, converging towards the lightning rod at a visible speed.

After a moment of preparation.

Rumble—!

A bolt of lightning struck vertically, illuminating the entire Sword Tomb as if it were daytime, sending a chill down everyone's spine.

An unprecedentedly powerful bolt of lightning struck the lightning rod!

At that moment, almost everyone cheered.

"It's...it's a success! It really worked!"

"Hard work pays off!!!"

Everyone felt a surge of heat in their eyes, and even the tip of their noses felt a little sore.

Who understands?

Who understands this feeling!

"etc!"

"What's wrong, Brother Jin?"

Jin Shengfei's face tightened: "Did you see Chi Miao run far away?"

"..." A deathly silence.

Holy crap!!!

"Chi Miao... Could Chi Miao have been killed by the lightning?!"

There was no sound at all. The several bolts of lightning in the sky, which had been randomly striking in all directions, suddenly converged and struck the lightning rod continuously.

Only some of the less powerful lightning bolts will disperse.

"Let's go take a look!"

Almost instantly, Jin Shengfei channeled his spiritual power and ran towards the lightning rod, with the others following closely behind.

Ying Wuhuo was internally screaming "Holy crap!"

He finally found someone with a Yang spiritual root who could save him.

She died before she even started trying to save him?!

No!

You could have saved him before you died!

He flew on his sword, his speed far exceeding that of others at the Foundation Establishment stage, like a shooting star.

Jin Shengfei's heart skipped a beat: "I didn't expect... that Naked Swimming Bro would care so much about Chi Miao. He's such a devoted lover. He must be worried sick."

When everyone arrived at the lightning rod, the lightning dragon was still relentlessly striking it; it was thick and terrifying, seemingly capable of destroying the world.

The entire lightning rod was enveloped in lightning, and its shadow was completely invisible.

The red voice could not be seen in the surrounding area.

Almost simultaneously, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

"It's over, it's over, it's over! The lightning has been striking for so long and there's been no reaction at all. Chi Miao must be dead."

Some of them had tears in their eyes.

"Chi Miao sacrificed himself for us..."

Just then.

The sound of suona horns came from somewhere, the music was extremely tragic.

Jin Shengfei knelt on the ground, somehow obtained a brazier and a pile of paper money, found a brother with a fire spirit root to light the fire and began to burn the paper.

"Little sister Chi Miao! You died so tragically... so tragically!"

"We, who have benefited from your great kindness today, will forever remember your kindness and virtue!"

"Every year during the Qingming Festival, I remember to burn paper money for you!"

He cried so bitterly that it was almost unbelievable how skilled he was at his job.

"Naked Swimming Bro, you should burn some too. I know you're heartbroken, but now you and Chi Miao are separated by death forever. Burn some money so she can have a better time in the afterlife."

Ying Wuhuo's handsome face tightened, and he twitched his lips.

"Where did you get the paper pot and paper money for burning? And... what's with this suona sound?"

Jin Shengfei said, "My family is a wealthy family. In wealthy families, people die every now and then due to infighting. I'm very familiar with the business of mourning. I almost always carry paper money and a paper offering basin with me. This suona is pretty good, isn't it? It sounds nice, doesn't it?"

"Wait... I didn't have a suona, where did that suona sound come from?!"

Jin Shengfei realized what was happening.

Everyone was stunned.

If it wasn't Jin Shengfei, then who set up the suona?

Upon closer listening, the sound of the suona seemed to be coming from under a lightning rod!
