It turns out, they were the main characters.

After all, it's not impossible for a special being like Lin Ling to emit spiritual energy similar to a natural furnace during cultivation.

Yan Ruyu glanced at Mu Zhian secretly, then reached out to touch him.

At this moment, Lin Ling suddenly grabbed Mu Zhian's shoulder and pulled him behind her, adopting a protective stance like a mother hen guarding her chicks.

Yan Ruyu looked at this scene with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

This was the first time she had ever seen Lin Ling act like this.

"Something happened to Senior Lin Ling in the cave today, so she may feel a little insecure."

Mu Zhian transmitted his voice to Yan Ruyu, saying, "Sect Master, I will definitely work hard to cultivate and reach the Refining Spirit Realm as soon as possible to bring glory to the Library Pavilion. Please rest assured!"

It seems the innate furnace hasn't changed... Yan Ruyu secretly checked again, but didn't detect the wonderful spiritual energy she had felt in the villa before, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

But then he thought that once he reached the Refining Spirit Realm, the Natural Furnace would also have an effect... so he felt a little more relaxed.

And frankly, she wasn't mentally prepared to use this method to advance her rank.

After all, this well-behaved boy next door respected her so much.

If in the future he finds out that the Yan Pavilion Master who dotes on and cares for him is actually doing this for...

I wonder what they will think?

Thinking of this, Yan Ruyu couldn't help but feel a little guilty. She smiled and said, "I believe in your talent. If you have any problems with cultivation in the future, just come to Shaole Garden to find me."

As I looked at the delicate, scholarly-looking young man in front of me, for some reason, the guilt I felt gradually gave way to a strange sense of pleasure.

Yu Ziyan, standing to the side, gazed at Mu Zhian and said with a faint smile, "I seem to have told you before that my junior sister and I are from the same sect, so Dao Peak is your other home. If you have any needs, you can come to Dao Peak."

Although the "alluring" spiritual energy emanating from Mu Zhian's innate furnace was not felt as before, it was a little disappointing.

But it doesn't matter, since even without the same spiritual energy as before, Mu Zhian's innate furnace still has immense value.

Yan Ruyu glanced sideways at this Daoist leader who usually acted aloof and cold in front of the sect disciples, but turned out to be as kind and gentle as the older sister next door in front of Mu Zhi'an. She then transmitted her voice to Mu Zhi'an:

"My senior sister is cunning by nature, so remember not to believe her sweet talk."

"Yes, yes, the Dao Peak Master only lusts after my body; only Pavilion Master Yan truly cares for me..." Mu Zhi'an nodded calmly and transmitted his voice, "This junior understands!"

Yan Ruyu then withdrew her gaze with satisfaction.

Ying Gu Huan remained silent throughout, but secretly glanced at Mu Zhi An with suspicion.

The spiritual energy she felt at the time was clearly the spiritual energy of a natural furnace... but she had just secretly checked and found no abnormality in Mu Zhian's body.

Could it be that the spirit dragon has secretly done something...?

At this moment, Ying Guhuan suddenly felt Mu Zhian's voice transmission in her ear: "Sister Ying, the pills you sent a few days ago are very effective. I will work hard to cultivate and enter the Refining Spirit Realm as soon as possible so that I can serve you as a loyal servant."

Ying Guhuan narrowed her eyes slightly, gave Mu Zhian a charming glance, and secretly chuckled as she transmitted her voice: "You little rascal, you have quite the sweet tongue~"

"I will have someone send you some more pills later. If that's not enough, you can come to the back mountain to see me."

Well, regardless of whether Mu Zhian's innate furnace has undergone any changes, we'll find out once he reaches the Refining God Realm.

Right now, getting him to focus on cultivating to the Spirit Refining Realm is more important than anything else!

As the first generation chief with a long tenure, Ying Guhuan naturally knew that Mu Zhian's words were actually meant to flatter her, but she did not dislike his attitude.

Sometimes, it's not that important people dislike flattery, but rather that they dislike overly blatant flattery.

Mu Zhian was beautiful and had a pleasant voice, calling her "sister" at every turn, which brightened the mood of the first leader.

Facing the three chiefs, Mu Zhian adopted the same tactic: stall, stall hard.

As it turned out, the effect was excellent.

Because the spirit dragon was still there, Yan Ruyu and the others did not linger. They simply spoke to Mu Zhian with the concern of elders, telling him to focus on his cultivation and not worry about anything else, before leaving the entrance to the cave.

Lan Mulian didn't utter a single word from beginning to end, only glancing at Mu Zhian casually before transmitting her voice:

"Were you the one who emitted that special spiritual energy earlier?"

Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment before deciding to answer honestly.

"I received the inheritance of the Spirit Dragon's fortune earlier, which further enhanced the effects of the Natural Furnace. However, I asked the Spirit Dragon to help me seal it temporarily," he replied telepathically.

Lan Mulian is a cold and aloof beauty, and also very intelligent. It's best to answer truthfully as much as possible without hiding anything from her.

This can make the other person trust him more.

Lan Mulian raised her eyebrows slightly and whispered, "The inheritance of destiny should not be able to affect the innate furnace."

"Senior Linglong bestowed upon you the Qi of Heaven's Dao?" she continued to transmit her voice.

She knew that the spirit dragon possessed the aura of the Heavenly Dao, and even knew the effects of that aura… Mu Zhian was secretly somewhat surprised.

Then, I secretly rejoiced: it was definitely the right decision not to hide it from my senior sister; she knew far too much...

Mu Zhian nodded slightly and smiled, "The inheritance of fortune includes a portion of the Heavenly Dao Qi."

Lan Mulian nodded slightly, clearly having already guessed this possibility on the way here, so she wasn't very surprised.

"The chief disciples have treated you very well and genuinely hope that you can advance to the Refining Spirit Realm, but they may not necessarily just want to help you," she secretly reminded him.

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister. I will be more careful and take good care of myself," Mu Zhian said sincerely.

After chatting for a while, Mu Zhian suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, I haven't seen Sister Fei Ying since I came to the Liangyi Sect. Does Senior Sister know where she is?"

Lan Mulian smiled faintly: "My sister is in seclusion and will probably reach the Refining Spirit Realm in about three months. If you want to see her, you can go to Tianji Peak."

"However, the head of Tianji Peak is aloof and rarely sees outsiders, so whether you can meet Fei Ying depends on your own abilities."

Mu Zhian understood slightly in his heart.

Boom!

Just then, a thunderclap suddenly came from the distant sky. Mu Zhian subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and was stunned.

That's the direction towards the temple.

Is Ruoxi's tribulation not over yet?

With this in mind, Mu Zhian immediately made a decision: to go and see the pilgrimage temple!

He first calmed Linglong down and told her to go back to Tianhe Garden on her own.

Because he knew that Linglong was not interested in such things.

Afterwards, Mu Zhian made an excuse to say goodbye to Senior Sister Lan and left the Spirit Dragon Cave Heaven on his sword.

Pilgrimage Temple!

The area is filled with blooming peach blossoms, but the sky is completely obscured by dark clouds, creating a rather oppressive atmosphere.

When Mu Zhian arrived in front of the pilgrimage hall, he saw the Ye sisters standing outside the hall.

Thunder rumbled intermittently in the sky, followed by flashes of lightning that illuminated Ye Lingxuan's slender and graceful figure.

The flashing lightning highlighted her fair and beautiful oval face, and her pure and elegant demeanor drew the attention of many sect disciples watching the tribulation in front of the pilgrimage hall from the very beginning.

"Sister Ruoxi, this tribulation has been going on for a long time. Will you be alright?" Unlike her sister, Ye Qian has a more obedient and gentle appearance. If it weren't for her weak temperament, most people would probably think that Ye Qian is the older sister.

As for why...

Hmm... a story of heartbreak.

Because of the immense lightning tribulation, the two sisters seemed unaware of Mu Zhian's approach, still staring intently at the white-clad beauty in mid-air.

At this moment, Ye Qian suddenly gasped softly, feeling someone gently pat her bottom and then grasp her small hand.

She was startled and was about to cry out when she heard a familiar, gentle voice beside her: "What are you all doing here? Are you here to watch Miss Bai undergo her tribulation?"

Ye Qian and Ye Lingxuan turned their heads at the same time. The former's eyes were filled with joy, while the latter's eyes were filled with complicated emotions, obviously thinking about the relationship between Mu Zhian and her sister.

"Brother Mu".

Ye Qian called out softly, feeling even more embarrassed as she recalled the slap Mu Zhi'an had just given her.

She said softly, "Sister Ruoxi's tribulation seems to be much longer than that of ordinary people. After going through six tribulations, everyone thought it was over, but unexpectedly, two more tribulations came, and even Chief Yi was attracted."

Mu Zhian slightly raised his head and looked at the beautiful woman in a palace dress who had summoned a bronze sword in the distance. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Eightfold lightning tribulation...?"

If I remember correctly, the Refining Spirit Realm can only go up to the sixth level of lightning tribulation at most. How could Ruoxi encounter the eighth level of lightning tribulation...?

Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly and suddenly said softly, "I remember there is a kind of pill in this world called the Tribulation Cloud Pill. Using this pill can attract lightning tribulation."

Ye Qian turned to look at her sister and asked in surprise, "Sister, do you mean... someone is secretly plotting against us and used this Calamity Cloud Pill?"

"But what's the use of this kind of pill...? How could anyone make something like this?" She still found it hard to believe.

Ye Lingxuan looked up at the white-clad beauty in the distance and continued, "The ingredients for the Tribulation Cloud Pill are very difficult to obtain, and the prescription for the pill is even rarer. As for the use of this pill... Tribulation lightning tempering the body is one of the methods to hone one's physique."

"Does that mean Sister Ruoxi is in danger?" Ye Qian asked, her gaze unconsciously drifting towards Mu Zhi'an.

Mu Zhian remained calm and reassured her, "Don't worry, with Ruoxi's strength, even an eighth-level lightning tribulation is no problem."

Ye Lingxuan took a deep look at the boy beside her and his calm smile.

She sensed an unusual coldness in Mu Zhian's calm smile.

Just as Mu Zhian had predicted, when the seventh lightning bolt, which did not belong to the Refining God Realm, struck, Bai Ruoxi raised her bronze sword to block it, directly blasting away the seventh lightning bolt.

Countless fragments of lightning flickered on the ground, breathtakingly beautiful yet chilling.

Hundreds of sect disciples had unknowingly gathered in the distance. When they saw such a stunning and magnificent scene, many disciples looked at Bai Ruoxi with admiration, but none of them approached the Pilgrimage Hall.

After all, if they approach rashly, they might suffer the same lightning tribulation as the others.

In the crowd, the Third Prince was also staring intently at the scene, his eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.

Generally speaking, cultivators in the Refining Spirit Realm have reached their limit after the fourth level of tribulation; beyond that, the spiritual energy in the cauldron will be unable to sustain them.

Even if Bai Ruoxi is incredibly talented, she should only reach the sixth level of tribulation...

But right now she has already endured seven tribulations of lightning!

This is beyond the limits of what cultivators can comprehend!

"Junior Sister Bai's talent is truly astonishing." A cultivator in the crowd gazed at the slender figure in mid-air and couldn't help but sincerely admire her.

"Sixfold lightning tribulation should be the limit. Any further and the supply of spiritual energy will be insufficient to sustain it... This woman is truly a prodigy."

"It's just a pity that she seems to already have a partner..."

Many people felt a sense of regret after hearing these words.
