Cold Clouds

Lin Xiaoxiao exhaled a puff of black smoke and woke up in a daze. She felt sore all over and only felt better after taking a pill.

What just happened? Hiss... Lin Xiaoxiao rubbed her brows, her head ached, and she felt like she had just received a great shock.

"Uh, cough, cough..." Mo Lun suddenly coughed twice, and then said seriously, "Just now a black light broke through the space and pierced you, but maybe breaking through the space consumed a lot of the black light, so it just knocked you out."

Mo Hu, who was standing beside him, looked at Mo Lun with a hint of surprise.

My own ancestor lied... would anyone believe it?

Black light? Under Mo Hu's incredulous gaze, Lin Xiaoxiao really began to think.

Breaking open the space... Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something and murmured, "Ancient Finger?"

Mo Lun and Mo Hu didn't hear clearly, and Lin Xiaoxiao ignored their blank looks and whispered to herself.

“Damn it… How could I forget about these guys from the Black King Palace?” Lin Xiaoxiao frowned. “This group of evil cult members’ remaining souls are looking for the Medicine King Valley… They can’t do anything on their own, and I don’t know which idiot went to cooperate with them…”

"I remember they needed the Five Spiritual Beads and Medicine King Valley to rebuild their bodies. Medicine King Valley is with me, and the Five Spiritual Beads..." Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, "That old dog Tang Zhen!"

According to the progress, the people from the Black King Palace should have obtained the three spirit beads of water, gold and earth. The fire spirit bead is hidden in the crater of the Tianli Mountain Secret Realm. The Tianli Mountain Secret Realm will not be opened until five months later. The wood spirit bead is in Tang Zhen's hands. The murderer is obvious.

Tang Zhen, ah, Tang Zhen, you really have a pretty face but not a pretty face.

But the most important thing now is how to get the Fire Spirit Pearl. Now that I know this trick, it will be difficult for them to kill me. By then, the Black King Palace will not have the Five Spirit Pearls and will not be able to reunite its spiritual roots. Any few residual souls who dare to break into the Medicine King Valley will also die.

I still have to find a way to improve my skills.

But I just can’t cultivate! What should I do? Lin Xiaoxiao became more and more angry as she thought about it, and raised her hand to eat a few more pills.

I've taken so many pills, at least there should be some chemical reaction. I feel like I'm almost developing drug resistance, but it seems like they have no effect at all... Lin Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly and went back to the cabin to read a book.

Lin Xiaoxiao had read all the books on alchemy before, but there were still some books that she hadn't touched. After all, things like "Deduct 1 to Get More Cultivation" looked very abstract...

Then Lin Xiaoxiao studied it and found that the book was not nonsense.

It's just that you will get some cultivation points by deducting one spiritual root and one of the five senses.

It may be a difficult task for others, but who is she, Lin Xiaoxiao? Does she understand the value of the master of Medicine King Valley?

Lin Xiaoxiao turned around and picked up another book. The title was "Complete Methods of Treating Difficult and Complex Diseases". It was a very simple title, but it was indeed very useful.

"Let me see..." Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the table of contents and turned to page 184. "This book is really thick. How to restore spiritual roots..."

"Nine Mystical Ginseng, Attached Gold Wood, Vine, Heavenly Water Spirit Lotus, Fire Death Ganoderma, Earth Scale Fruit," Lin Xiaoxiao recited as she stood up to look for the herbs. The guys in the Black King's Palace were dead, with only souls but no bodies. Their spiritual energy had already been consumed a lot to keep their souls alive, but she, Lin Xiaoxiao, was intact. "Ah, enough for three times."

The Nine-Mysterious Ginseng and the Heavenly Water Spirit Root can both save lives, the Earth Scale Fruit can improve defense, and they are all useful medicinal materials. The Medicine King Valley has a lot of reserves. The Fujinmu and Huowangzhi will not have a good end if eaten alone, and can only be used to refine rare and unpopular elixirs, so there are not many in the Medicine King Valley.

Then Lin Xiaoxiao went to look for methods and things necessary to restore her five senses, enough for almost four times.

Then Mo Hu and the others saw Lin Xiaoxiao stabbed themselves in the dantian, and then she started to mutter weirdly with her teeth bared, which looked a little creepy.

"God is above, I am here, I..." Lin Xiaoxiao thought about which spiritual root to use. She felt that she had lost too much blood and her mind seemed to be a little unclear. "I will use the wood spiritual root as a sacrifice in exchange for my cultivation!"

"Hiss... Why does it hurt so much..." Lin Xiaoxiao's face turned pale after her wood spirit root was stripped away. "Damn Tiandao, are you taking revenge on me for stealing your child's things?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately felt a little more pain.

Damn God... Lin Xiaoxiao cursed inwardly again and managed to hold on until the end of the ceremony.

Fortunately, the damn Heavenly Dao gave Lin Xiaoxiao what she deserved. After taking the herbs that restored her spiritual roots, she was able to advance from the fourth stage of foundation building to the ninth stage. She would soon be able to...

A white light flashed, and Lin Xiaoxiao, who was still in a daze, was teleported to her mansion in the Yunjian Sect.

Lin Xiaoxiao stared blankly at the calamity clouds that were gradually thickening in the sky.

You waited until I took the medicine before you struck me. You are such a good person... Why don't you just die?!

In this world, one cannot rely on external forces when going through the tribulation, so generally speaking, cultivators will hit a bug, suppress their cultivation for a while before breaking through. In that way, they can take some medicine for insurance before going through the tribulation.

Lin Xiaoxiao also thought so, and she had no premonition of a breakthrough at all. This damn Heaven was planning to forcibly "give" her a golden elixir. What a good person!

Lin Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with the urge to curse wildly, and there was a bloodstain at the corner of her mouth.

Other people from the Yunjian Sect also noticed the abnormality and came out one by one.

Song Hanyun was standing next to Qin Feng, and there was a hint of confusion in both of their eyes. Wasn't he still at the fourth stage of foundation building two weeks ago? How come he was about to enter the golden elixir stage now?

Lu Renjia looked at it for a while, then his face was filled with shock: "Look at the look on Master's uncle's face."

After hearing this, the two began to carefully observe Lin Xiaoxiao who was sitting on the stone in the yard. Lu Renjia was chattering at the side: "Master Uncle Lin is sitting in an unruly posture, his eyes are sharp and with a hint of disdain, and although there are bloodstains at the corners of his mouth, he is still standing still. This shows that Master Uncle Lin doesn't care about this thunder tribulation at all!"

In fact, Lin Xiaoxiao was like this because she fell in this position, and she didn't move because she was in so much pain that she couldn't move.

Disdain? No, no, no, that's the urge to curse.

Lightning flashed in the calamity clouds in the sky. Lin Xiaoxiao raised her right hand with all her strength and raised her middle finger.

Lin Xiaoxiao had just raised her middle finger when the thunderbolt struck down. It was so thick that the onlookers were stunned.

Qin Feng murmured: "Did she offend the Heavenly Dao?"

"I don't know," Song Hanyun was also stunned, "This thunder... is much thicker than when I entered the Golden Core stage..."

After being struck by lightning, Lin Xiaoxiao, who was barely half alive, suddenly began to glow with aqua blue light and khaki light, and her wounds began to be healed by the blue light.

Lin Xiaoxiao was delighted, this was probably the effect of the Tianshui Lingou, "bringing back the dead, turning bones into flesh", and the Dilin Fruit increased defense. Haha, Dog Tiandao, come again!

Then several more thunders came one after another without stopping, and it seemed that the thunder tribulation was about to overwhelm the speed of healing.

It was already the second day after the nine thunder tribulations struck. Lin Xiaoxiao spewed out a puff of black smoke from her mouth. The healing light of the Tianshui Lingou and the defensive light of the Di Lin Fruit had long been destroyed. Lin Xiaoxiao was just holding on to her breath.

Then, when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the calamity cloud began to shrink smaller and smaller, until it turned into a black sphere flashing with lightning, and smashed directly towards Lin Xiaoxiao.

"She has definitely offended the heaven, right?" Qin Feng swallowed his saliva as he looked at the scene in front of him. In all his years of life, he had never seen a foundation-building cultivator go through such a calamity.

Song Hanyun couldn't help but put his hand on the hilt of the sword, but then he thought that the thunder tribulation was not over yet and he couldn't help, so he frowned anxiously.

"I... fuck... you..." Lin Xiaoxiao raised her middle finger tremblingly. Just when the Robbery Cloud Ball was about to rush to Lin Xiaoxiao, a faint transparent light film stopped the Robbery Cloud Ball.

Jiuxuanshen, it’s great to have you… Lin Xiaoxiao was moved to tears. I love you so much for blocking a fatal attack! But your taste is a little bitter, can you change it?

The calamity cloud returned to the sky and did not disperse for a long time. Finally, a ray of golden light descended and sprinkled on Lin Xiaoxiao.

"That's it! Divine Certificate of Heaven and Earth!?" Qin Feng sucked in a breath of cold air. This was an extremely rare phenomenon. "For those who have obtained Divine Certificate of Heaven and Earth, it means that their talent is recognized by the Heaven. In the future, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy will become faster, but they can no longer use secret techniques to speed up their cultivation, otherwise they will suffer backlash."

What!? Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened. What the hell!

I want to kill you, a thousand times is not enough!
