Cloud Flower Pill Venerable.
Wang Xiu had some impression—should be a Pill Vein senior who fell on Demon-Surrounded Island eight hundred years ago.
In the Spirit Shrine, Wang Xiu had once wiped that senior's memorial tablet.
That valley must have been Cloud Flower Pill Venerable's former secluded cultivation place, left with instructions before setting out for Demon-Surrounded Island.
Now over eight hundred years later, finally meeting the destined one.
Thinking of this.
Wang Xiu's face showed a smile, "Congratulations to Junior Sister Ling'er on obtaining Cloud Flower Pill Venerable's inheritance. Junior Sister's fortune is truly heaven-defying—truly enviable."
Indeed!
Hearing Wang Xiu's praise, Jiang Ling'er lowered her head in embarrassment, while Jiang Yourong lifted her head high instead.
"Making a big fuss over nothing!"
This great fiend remnant soul said proudly, "Ling'er is the only inheritor of my Nine Li Grotto Heaven. The final fortune of the Immortal Sect rests on Ling'er alone."
"What's wrong with having good luck? Isn't that to be expected?"
"It's just that This Seat is now only a remnant soul and cannot manifest in the world. If This Seat could manifest, with all the Nine Li fortune added to my body, who in the world could compare to me!"
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging. Congratulations Host, spiritual qi +66.]
So satisfying~
As expected of Senior Yourong—she really knows how to brag~
Wang Xiu narrowed his eyes, smiling as he asked, "So the commotion just now was Senior Jiang refining pills?"
Jiang Yourong said proudly, "Exactly."
"Although my Nine Li lineage specializes in the Soul Dao, our pill refining methods are not inferior to your Three Pure Immortal Sect's Pill Vein."
Saying this.
Jiang Yourong patted Jiang Ling'er's little head, "My sect's Nine Li Soul-Nourishing Pill has medicinal effects comparable to Three Pure Pill Vein's Supreme Soul-Supplementing Pill, but is easier to refine."
"The medicinal ingredients needed for refining are also fewer. Back in the day, it once suppressed the Supreme Soul-Supplementing Pill so badly in the market that it could barely breathe!"
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging. Congratulations Host, spiritual qi +66.]
Wang Xiu smiled, "Impressive, impressive."
Jiang Ling'er gently tugged at the soul-power constructed hem of Jiang Yourong's clothes, mumbling, "Auntie, since it's easier to refine, why did you blow up the furnace just now?"
Jiang Yourong: ???
"I!"
A flush of embarrassed anger appeared on Jiang Yourong's fair face, "This Seat has been asleep for centuries. Just woke up and is a bit rusty. Just rusty, that's all."
"Let me refine it again!"
"Seven days!"
"Within seven days, This Seat will definitely produce a supreme-grade Nine Li Soul-Nourishing Pill!"
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging. Congratulations Host, spiritual qi +66.]
Having said this!
Jiang Yourong huffily began organizing the pill furnace and medicinal ingredients, preparing to attempt another round of vigorous alchemy, "Wang Xiu, you kid don't disturb me here."
"You standing nearby affects This Seat's performance!"
"If This Seat blows up the furnace again because you're peeking, just watch how This Seat deals with you!"
Jiang Ling'er said quietly, "Auntie, you don't seem to be able to beat Martial Brother."
Jiang Yourong: ???
Hmph~!
The flush on the great fiend beauty's face deepened as she roared, "Who said I can't beat him? I was going easy on him because he's a junior. Just going easy!"
"Don't believe me?"
"Don't believe me? Let that brat fight me for real. Real spear against real shield—see how I deal with him!"
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging. Congratulations Host, spiritual qi +66.]
Pffft~
Wang Xiu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Seeing the great fiend beauty's expression turning unpleasant, he quickly smiled apologetically, "Senior Jiang's cultivation is profound and unfathomable. If fighting for real, this junior would naturally be no match whatsoever."
Jiang Yourong lifted her head high and snorted, "Glad you know."
Jiang Ling'er rested her chin in her hands, watching the gentle smile on Wang Xiu's face and Jiang Yourong's chin lifted at a forty-five-degree angle, an involuntary sweet smile appearing on her face.
Why?
Clearly Auntie was the elder, yet it felt like Martial Brother was spoiling Auntie?
Such a pampered, gentle feeling!
"What are you smiling at?"
Seeing her little disciple foolishly staring at Wang Xiu and smiling, Jiang Yourong impatiently pushed Wang Xiu out of the courtyard, "This Seat needs to refine pills and impart supreme techniques to Ling'er."
"Don't disturb us. Go, go, go!"
Bang~
Watching the Orchid Small Courtyard's door slam shut, Wang Xiu helplessly touched his nose.
What's the rush!
It's rare to see Senior Jiang being so proactive today. Help me brag a little longer, would you~
Just a little more bragging, and Foundation Establishment Ninth Heaven wouldn't be far off.
...
Sigh~
Oh well. There's plenty of time.
Wang Xiu didn't insist. Smiling, he returned to his own small courtyard.
Entering the secret chamber and setting up the Green Lotus Sky-Shrouding Formation, Wang Xiu fused the Heavenly Tribulation Curse skill card.
Rumble~
As the skill card fused, Wang Xiu felt endless thunder technique mysteries pour into his mind—all the essence regarding the Heavenly Tribulation Curse ultimate technique.
And.
Vaguely, some kind of will descended from the void, gathering on Wang Xiu's body, granting him some special authority, or perhaps... recognition.
At this moment.
Wang Xiu felt that as long as he wished, he could summon heavenly tribulation at will to exterminate evil demons.
However.
After the Heavenly Tribulation Curse reached Great Perfection, Wang Xiu also thoroughly understood the Heavenly Tribulation Curse's essence.
This technique's essence was actually the authority granted by the Heavenly Dao to cultivators.
And this authority had usage limits. Those who cultivated the Heavenly Tribulation Curse to the Small Achievement level could use it at most three times per month.
Those who cultivated to Great Achievement could use it at most six times per month.
Those who cultivated to Perfection could use it at most nine times per month.
If exceeding this number.
It wasn't that heavenly punishment couldn't be summoned, but who the heavenly punishment would strike would be uncertain.
After all.
The Heavenly Dao Big Boss also had a temper. How could It allow you to summon It casually?
...
Meanwhile.
In the Orchid Small Courtyard, Jiang Yourong had driven Wang Xiu away and was just preparing to set up the pill furnace for alchemy!
But.
She had just raised the furnace fire and tossed a few auxiliary medicinal ingredients into it to extract the medicinal liquid when she felt the atmosphere was somewhat off.
Hiss~
Why was there such an oppressive feeling?
Jiang Yourong subconsciously looked up at the sky, only to see that Spirit Turtle Peak's sky was now shrouded in thick black thunderclouds.
In the thunderclouds.
Extremely thick purple tribulation lightning rolled like purple dragon serpents, emitting a pressure that made one tremble with fear.
What the hell!
Looking at the tribulation clouds pressing lower and lower, nearly shrouding all of Spirit Turtle Peak, Jiang Yourong was completely... her entire soul was numb.
"Is my Soul-Nourishing Pill really that heaven-defying?"
"It even summoned a heavenly tribulation?"
"But even if it really summoned a pill tribulation, shouldn't it be when the divine pill is about to emerge?"
"I just set up the furnace, and the Heavenly Dao wants to strike me?"
"Isn't that bullying a soul too much?"
"Heavenly Dao is unfair!"
Looking at the densely packed, crackling purple thunder dragon serpents, Jiang Yourong indignantly complained.
Crash~!
Just as Jiang Yourong finished speaking, a purple thunderbolt descended from the sky, landing on Spirit Turtle Peak and pulverizing a massive boulder in front of the Orchid Small Courtyard.
In an instant.
Heavenly Dao willpower pressure, vast as an abyss or sea, crashed down, directly pinning Jiang Yourong to the ground, unable to move.
After all.
Jiang Yourong was currently a remnant soul—strictly speaking, a type of 'ghost.'
And thunder power had super-amplified deterrent effect on ghost cultivators. Not to mention that the thunder on Spirit Turtle Peak right now was Heavenly Dao tribulation thunder.
Hmm.
In terms of attributes, it couldn't have suppressed this great fiend remnant soul more perfectly.
...
Bang~
The pill furnace nearby exploded again, losing Jiang Yourong's control.
However.
This time, Jiang Ling'er had been on guard and hid to the side early.
She gazed at the beauty master pressed to the ground and rubbed by the heavenly tribulation willpower, an absurd thought involuntarily rising in her mind.
This episode... she seemed to have watched it before~
