The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

"Wait...look closely, there seems to be something strange under that lightning rod!"

Following the sound, everyone looked down and discovered a faint purple glow beneath the lightning continuously attracted by the lightning rod.

Upon closer inspection, a sound could be heard.

"Have you finished wailing?! Aren't you going to come help me?! Don't you have any conscience?!"

Only then did everyone realize, as if waking from a dream, that the purple light was Chi Miao practicing her internal energy.

They were dumbfounded.

"Chi Miao actually withstood this lightning?!"

"If I'm not mistaken, that purple vortex of hers is the third level of the Profound Origin Technique, right?"

"How is that possible! The Profound Origin Technique is a mid-grade Profound Rank technique, and mastering it takes years. She's only just begun practicing; how could she have already mastered it, let alone reached the third level!"

"But if it weren't for the Profound Origin Technique, how could she have withstood such powerful lightning?"

Suddenly, a possibility occurred to everyone.

Could this guy have some kind of incredible comprehension?

Are you trying to kill us?!

The elders who witnessed all of this through the water mirror were dumbfounded.

They could recognize the Xuan Yuan Gong at a glance.

It's so purple it's almost reddish...

However, the Xuan Yuan Gong is still a mid-grade Xuan-level cultivation technique. Without resources and guidance, even the most extraordinary person could not possibly cultivate it to the third level out of thin air.

Among the people they knew, only one had achieved fame through the Xuan Yuan Gong technique in his youth.

The elders' gazes gradually shifted towards Yan Ge.

Elder Yan, you…

Yan Ge blushed, coughed dryly, and knowing he couldn't hide it any longer, he confessed, "I... I thought her foundation was too weak, so what's wrong with me giving her some pointers?!"

Yes! He went to be a money-giving boy, so what?!

"She's already on the third floor, and you call that giving pointers? Why don't you give us pointers?!"

Yan Ge suddenly gave a disdainful smile: "Even if I guide you, you still won't be able to reach the third level."

Qinghuan: "If you don't believe me, how long did you guide her?"

Yan Ge: "I...I demonstrated it twice in front of her."

Everyone was completely stunned.

"Taking away the young master?!"

Yan Ge: "Twice, really only twice."

"You mean, you only demonstrated it twice, and she's already on the third level?"

Yan Ge: "Yes."

At the same instant, all the elders gasped, their pupils trembling with disbelief as they stared at the girl in the water mirror who was using her Xuan Yuan Gong to withstand the lightning.

unbelievable……

This is absolutely insane!!

They'll really start to suspect that you're not just talented, but that you haven't completely forgotten everything!

The Yama Curse on your body, could it have been planted on you by some world-destroying being?!

You're not really a reincarnation of a powerful figure, are you?!

"Damn it! If you guys don't save me, I'm really going to die! Are you going to keep bragging after you save me?!"

Chi Miao was so angry that he cursed.

You're all so fixated on her Xuan Yuan Gong, why don't you worry about her life?!

Then everyone realized, "Oh, right, if we don't save Chi Miao, she'll really die."

Only then did everyone work together to shield Chi Miao from the lightning for a moment, allowing Chi Miao to roll away from the danger zone with an ultimate, invincible iron turtle-like roll.

Chi Miao breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Chi Miao looked constipated.

Her eyes widened. "I...I think I'm starting to feel it."

Jin Shengfei: "How does it feel? Do you need to poop? It's not very nice to poop or pee anywhere, is it?"

Chi Miao sat cross-legged, gathering his energy.

The dense fire elemental energy around her surged towards her, gradually compressing.

Peng—!

A vortex of energy dispersed, and power flowed into Chi Miao's entire body, making her feel completely refreshed.

Moreover... she felt that next to the fire spirit root in her body, there was something that looked like a withered tree branch.

But never mind, she's already in the late stage of Qi Refining.

Everyone: "?"

A deathly silence fell. Everyone's eyes narrowed into tiny dots as they stared at Chi Miao without uttering a word.

Chi Miao: "Awesome!"

She stood up, stretched her limbs, and then moved closer to the crowd.

The crowd simply followed with their eyes, remaining silent.

Chi Miao walked up to Jin Shengfei and waved.

He then walked up to Ying Wuhuo and waved.

"Why are you all silent, my esteemed ministers? Is there no one left in my vast court capable of serving?"

Ying Wuhuo asked, "You've broken through again?"

Chi Miao nodded: "Yeah, this lightning spirit power is pretty strong, it'll level me up."

This statement completely enraged the public.

"You son of a bitch, you broke through to the next level in just one round of trials, huh?!"

Chi Miao: "Nonsense, this is nothing! Maybe I can even reach Foundation Establishment this time!"

"I shouldn't have saved you; I should have let you be struck by lightning."

They were heartbroken.

They've seen talented people before, but none this terrifyingly talented was something they truly couldn't even imagine.

They were really devastated. Why is there so much pressure in cultivating immortality?

Only Jin Shengfei stared thoughtfully at the lightning rod.

Then take a deep breath and close your eyes.

"I'm going!"

Fortunately, Chi Miao reacted quickly and grabbed the back of his collar.

"What are you doing, you idiot Chun! Don't be stupid!"

"Getting struck by lightning makes you stronger! I want to get struck by lightning too! I want to!!"

They've gone mad! Utterly gone mad!

Hahaha, damn it.

Ying Wuhuo spoke up fairly: "Chi Miao has the third level of the Xuan Yuan Gong, which allows him to use the power of lightning to deflect its force. That's why he was able to barely withstand the lightning. If you go, you'll at most become cannon fodder."

Jin Shengfei remained silent.

That's right.

They spent a long time doing self-psychological counseling before they were able to get back into the right mindset.

"But speaking of which, Chi Miao... were you the one who made that suona sound just now?"

Chi Miao nodded: "Yeah, I was thinking of making it a bit tragic, but you guys just started wailing and mourning."

Jin Shengfei quickly raised her hand: "I even burned paper money!"

Chi Miao stared at the basin filled with ashes from paper money and fell silent.

Good idea, we'll use it later.

Ying Wuhuo looked at the core of the Sword Tomb: "Now that the lightning has been attracted, the remaining fragments of lightning are even more numerous than usual. You can go to the Sword Tomb to choose your swords now."

Jin Shengfei: "I didn't expect to overcome the problem so easily. This trial is much easier than I imagined."

Upon hearing Jin Shengfei's words, everyone had a bad feeling and a chill ran down their spines.

"Brother, I advise you to talk less."

Jin Shengfei: "There shouldn't be any problem."

After preparing for a while, the group headed towards the core of the sword tomb.

Chi Miao was the only one who didn't go.

Ying Wuhuo: "Aren't you going?"

Chi Miao: "Jin Shengfei, that jinx, has already spoken up, something must be wrong. I'm not going to be the first to step forward. I'll wait for them to test the waters first, and if nothing's wrong, I'll go over."

Ying Wuhuo: "There's no need to be so cautious..."

Chi Miao is pretty despicable in every way, I didn't expect her to be so careful.

He didn't interfere much.

After all, all I need to do is prevent unexpected situations from happening.

Now that the thunderstorms have been resolved, what else could happen?

Being too cautious can cause you to miss many opportunities on the path of cultivation.

And it was at this time.

A group of people screamed in agony.

"Fuck you!!!!"

Chi Miao: "Listen, isn't that right? As expected, an accident happened."

Ying Wuhuo: "Huh?"

How could that be?
