I asked you to save the villain, not to take him as your wife!

These things are the materials needed for setting up the formation.

As for the protective magic weapons he wore on his body, Immortal Master Wu had equipped him with them as early as when he was able to break through.

Suppressing the breakthrough energy to the limit is to consolidate Ji Qinran's foundation and make his upgrade more solid.

But at the same time, Wuxianzun was also very concerned about the safety of his only disciple.

Put on the protective magic weapon first, so that even if something unexpected happens, Ji Qinran’s life will be safe.

Seeing the formation materials on the ground, Ji Qinran didn't say much.

He has practiced setting up the tribulation formation many times.

Now the arrangement is going very smoothly.

After completing the last step, Ji Qinran did not rush to start overcoming the tribulation.

He took off the storage bag hanging on his waist and the Thousand Masks on his face, and threw them to Wuxianzun: "Master, help me get it."

The third level thunder tribulation actually cannot destroy these things, but it is Ji Qinran's first time to go through the tribulation, and he is afraid of any unexpected events.

Everything else is easy to deal with, but Qianmian is his father’s treasure.

It would be fine if he stole it to use, but if he broke it, his father would be furious.

The key point is that if getting angry means beating someone up, Ji Qinran is not the kind of person who can't afford to be beaten.

But his father's rage was a strange thing.

He was in a weird mood, humming from time to time, and missing his late wife, Ji Qinran's mother...

I can't stand it. I can't stand it at all.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a third-grade thunder tribulation." Wuxianzun caught the thing Ji Qinran threw over and spoke to comfort him.

With Ji Qinran’s aptitude, a third-grade thunderbolt would definitely not be able to kill him.

Since I can't die, all I have to do is to strengthen my body.

Ji Qinran nodded silently, wanting to say:

"Master, if you don't know how to comfort me, you don't have to comfort me."

Being struck by lightning was his first experience.

How can I not be nervous?

Of course, although Ji Qinran was nervous, he did not back down.

If he wants to improve, he has to overcome the tribulation.

This is inevitable.

Besides, Lord Wuxian has said that he can survive any thunder tribulation below the fifth level.

In that case, what is he afraid of?

It’s not like he’s going to die anyway.

At most you'll just suffer a little.

Thinking of this, Ji Qinran stood in the middle of the formation, and then released the suppression of his Qi.

After Ji Qinran released his suppression of the Qi, the originally gray sky suddenly gathered with black clouds.

The black clouds appear to be very close to the ground, giving people an intuitive sense of oppression.

Soon, silver and purple electric sparks appeared from time to time in the black clouds.

Ji Qinran swallowed and clenched the sword in his hand.

What's this feeling of waiting to die?

Ji Qinran shook his head and threw this unreliable idea out of his mind.

He looked up at the sky, waiting for the lightning to strike at any time.

The thunder tribulation did not make Ji Qinran wait long. After a while, a bolt of lightning struck down.

Ji Qinran subconsciously raised his sword to block, but the lightning only struck the formation.

Although it didn't strike him directly, Ji Qinran still broke out in sweat on his forehead when he heard the crackling sound of lightning just above him.

The lightning continued to strike for about two or three seconds, and then disappeared.

However, before it disappeared, a small amount of lightning broke through the protection of the formation and the protective magic weapon and struck Ji Qinran directly.

Ji Qinran immediately felt his whole body numb.

This is not because the formation and protective magic weapons have failed.

This is normal.

The so-called thunder tribulation is actually used to temper the monks.

With the constant tempering, it is naturally impossible to prevent it completely.

Therefore, when setting up the formation, some loopholes are left for lightning to drill into.

So we can’t prevent everything.

Of course, we must not be careless.

There were cultivators who thought that since thunder tribulations were meant to temper one's physique, then they should simply not be on guard.

Let the thunder tribulation temper you to your full potential.

The result is that it is directly quenched into charcoal.

This monk who was tempered into charcoal became a negative example for various sects to educate their disciples after his death.

The tribulation-transcending formation was passed down from generation to generation by the previous cultivators.

If this is a useless thing, how can it be passed down?

These are naturally off-topic.

Although Ji Qinran was struck by a small bolt of lightning at this moment, he was in very good condition.

The process of overcoming the tribulation was almost the same as what his master had told him.

And after getting over the initial fear of the unknown, he is no longer afraid at all.

He even guided the heavenly thunder to actively temper his body.

Of course, Ji Qinran also did not forget the sword in his hand.

It was also tempered again.

This was also taught to him by Wuxianzun.

As a cultivator, you must have your own weapon.

The sword cultivator's primary weapon is naturally the sword.

The natal weapon is different from other weapons. It is meant to accompany its owner through tribulations.

So the material must be better.

The bad ones will be tempered and wasted when you go through the tribulation.

The sword that Ji Qinran chose as his natal weapon was the one his father gave him.

There is no need to talk about the material, mainly because Ji Qinran is used to it.

After guiding the remaining lightning from the first thunderbolt to temper the whole body, the second thunderbolt struck down immediately.

The lightning was still blocked by the formation, and only a small amount of the lightning power fell on Ji Qinran.

While Ji Qinran was guiding the lightning for tempering, he was also thinking about how many third-grade thunder tribulations he would have.

The number of thunder and lightning represents the talent of the cultivator.

After the monks summarized, they came up with a rule, which is:

The more talented a cultivator is, the more times he will experience lightning when he is going through a thunder tribulation.

The number of thunder tribulations that the cultivators recognized as having good talents in the current world of cultivators are all between eight and nine.

Among them, there is Wuxianzun and a very small number of people, namely Jiudao.

Wuxianzun had great confidence in his disciple, and the tribulation formation he taught him was also arranged according to the standards of the Nine Paths.

"One, two..." Ji Qinran counted silently and soon reached the ninth one.

The lightning of the third level thunder tribulation strikes very quickly.

One can be dropped in just a few seconds.

However, according to Immortal Master Wu, the higher the level, the longer it will take for thunder and lightning to brew when one is going through the tribulation.

It took Immortal Master Wu a whole day and a night to survive the seventh level of thunder tribulation.

Ji Qinran was going through a thunder tribulation, and Wuxianzun was guarding him nearby.

When Ji Qinran was counting the number of thunder and lightning, Wuxianzun was also counting.

Seeing the eighth bolt of lightning strike down and the dark clouds in the sky did not dissipate, Wuxianzun breathed a sigh of relief silently.

Not bad, not bad. His disciple was quite capable and also suffered nine thunder tribulations.

But obviously, it was too early for Wuxianzun to be relieved.

The ninth bolt of lightning soon struck down.

This bolt of lightning was obviously several times thicker than the previous eight.

Because of this, the tribulation formation was split this time.

But this is not the point. The point is that the ninth thunder has already struck, but the dark clouds in the sky show no signs of dissipating.
