Chapter 755: The Little Expert in Overcoming the Tribulation

Chapter 755: The Little Expert in Overcoming the Tribulation

At the scene of the tribulation, Xie Ruoxi looked at the tribulation clouds in the sky, without much tension or fear on his face.

Although the captain is not by my side, he has given me courage!

Cross the robbery!

In the rear base, everyone was watching the live footage captured by the drone, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed and cheerful.

The most important thing when overcoming tribulation is endurance, and Xie Ruoxi is the one who doesn't have to worry about endurance the least. The total amount of her true energy is so abundant that even Liu Longtao is convinced. It is hard to imagine that she would encounter the problem of true energy depletion.

"Ayu." Li Zhaojiang came over and put his arm around his shoulder. "Why are all the people who have reached the Jindan stage from your team? Once Xie Ruoxi has also passed the tribulation, it means that three of the five Jindan True Immortals in Lu Kingdom will be from your team. Did you use some dirty tricks on the higher-ups, like a beauty trap, huh?"

He looked towards Chen Lingyun, and then was hit in the abdomen by Yan Yu's elbow, and immediately started to groan.

"Why are you talking nonsense again?" Yan Yu laughed. "Zhao Yuanzhen and Xie Ruoxi were able to pass the tribulation because they were talented enough. I was the first one to pass the tribulation because you were all unsure at the time and waited for others to take the risk. So, why are you the only ones from the Qing'an team who haven't passed the tribulation yet? How long do you plan to wait?"

"Hehe." Li Zhaojiang stopped talking.

His qualifications weren't particularly outstanding, just barely reaching the threshold for becoming a Dharma Cultivator. So why did he want to become a Dharma Cultivator?

Because if he doesn't go up, the Qing'an team will have no way to improve.

Before reaching the Core Formation stage, a cultivator's individual combat effectiveness was limited, and they couldn't balance offense, defense, and induction. Therefore, they needed to form teams of different professions to ensure overall combat effectiveness. Ye Jun had to compromise, so naturally, Li Zhaojiang had no reason to be an exception.

Yan Yu was also well aware of this, and with just one sentence, he left Li Zhaojiang speechless.

"At this stage, the more Jindan cultivators there are, the better." Li Minghu said with a smile, "We still don't have enough people."

"Indeed." Everyone echoed.

Zhou Hongyu is still in the hospital, Liu Longtao is in charge of domestic affairs, Zhao Yuanzhen is stationed at the Wudang Mountain base to protect everyone, and currently only Yan Yu is capable of going abroad to perform field work.

If the Yamata-no-Orochi of the Sakura Empire were to appear, would we go fight it? Absolutely. If the Taiyang Zhenmei Sword itself were to appear, would we go find it? That's a must.

What to do if they appear at the same time? No way, so the current Jindan Zhenren is not enough.

Far from enough.

"What has Old Liu been doing recently?" Yan Yu turned to ask Yang Linhui, "He said he went to conquer the secret realm. It's been several days, so he should be back, right?"

"He's also working non-stop right now," Yang Linhui replied. "Monsters from the secret realms keep leaking out, and they're all at the Jindan level. The military monks can't handle them, so they've sent him flying all over the place to put out fires. He even called this morning to ask who would be the next to undergo the tribulation at the base. I guess he's hoping someone can help share the workload with him."

"Then he'll have to wait a while." Yan Yu waved his hand and said, "Even if Ruoxi has formed a pill, I won't let her carry out the mission independently. Her personality is not suitable."

"Ah?" Yang Linhui asked in surprise, "Didn't they say that Jindan Zhenren would leave the team by default?"

"Really? I haven't heard of it." Yan Yu asked immediately, "Did you make a mistake?"

Yang Linhui finally realized his mistake and quickly changed his words:
"Oh, nothing, I made a mistake."

From the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Golden Core Stage, all aspects of combat capabilities have seen a qualitative leap, so there is no need to rely on teamwork for reinforcement. However, the Privy Council has not yet made a public announcement, probably wanting to wait until it is a fait accompli before putting it on paper.

Among those present here, except for the captain and deputy captain, some monks who are not well-informed may not know about this matter, so of course we cannot say it casually.

Neither of them spoke, just watching the scene of the tribulation.

Thunderbolts began to fall in groups, and golden light surged, looking quite dazzling and brilliant, but no cultivator would doubt the terrifying destructive power hidden beneath this gorgeous appearance.

Xie Ruoxi did not dare to delay either. He first swallowed a pill and then began to launch thunder magic into the air.

Thunder spells and tribulation thunder had many similarities. First, they were both small balls, and second, they both possessed extremely powerful power. Under the influence of the formation at his feet, this ball of lightning quickly transformed into countless star points, sweeping high into the sky like a barrage of bullets, directly extinguishing nearly half of the first wave of tribulation thunder.

Yan Yu narrowed his eyes and thought it was too early to take action.

Although the experimental data clearly pointed out that 600 meters was the best shooting height, it was obvious that Xie Ruoxi did not have the ability to estimate the height of the lightning by visual observation, and his control of distance was a mess.

"Are you okay?" Su Yunjin asked from the side. She also realized that Xie Ruoxi's timing of attack was a little too early.

"It's okay." Yan Yu said seriously, "She will definitely make technical adjustments. We should trust Ruoxi's wisdom."

"What you said makes people even more worried," Lin Ning complained directly.

"What's there to worry about?" Zhao Yuanzhen stepped forward to defend her friend's reputation. "Even if a lightning spell misses a few of the thunderbolts, what's the big deal? At worst, we can just fire another one. Ruoxi has plenty of energy." "That's not to squander energy like that," Lin Ning said, feeling a bit amused. Her fighting style, taught by Yan Yu himself, made her accustomed to maximizing the effect of every attack—simply put, a bit of a perfectionist. Seeing Ruoxi casting spells so freely was a bit of a challenge.

"I have to support Sister Zhao this time." Yan Yu suddenly said, "Ruoxi can't do such a technical style of play."

"That's right." Zhao Yuanzhen became more and more proud.

Lin Ning fell silent, thinking to herself, isn't this just because she despises Ruoxi's low IQ... Never mind, no matter how we discuss here, it won't affect Ruoxi who is currently going through a tribulation, so there's no point in arguing over a win or loss.

So far, Xie Ruoxi's tribulation was proceeding smoothly. Wave after wave of tribulation lightning descended, and lightning nets rose into the air one after another. Their speed of descent and their efficiency of destruction remained balanced, and there was no sign of Xie Ruoxi's true essence being depleted.

If it were other cultivators, after casting spells for more than ten or twenty minutes, they would always have to stop and throw a few Wanzhu Swords or Xiaoxuan Guang Rulers, taking time to refine the medicinal power in their stomachs and take the opportunity to recover some true energy.

The one who did the best in this regard was Yan Yu. He activated the sword formation and restored his true essence completely according to the situation of the heavenly tribulation and adjusted it flexibly at any time. He took advantage of every opportunity and made good use of every gap for rest.

Looking at Xie Ruoxi again, she had been casting spells continuously from the beginning until now, barely taking a break. She unleashed lightning spell after lightning spell, but her tribulation-transcending supplies remained completely untouched, as if her inner essence was boundless.

"How does she do that?" Zhang Huaide asked in surprise. "A single shot of thunder magic consumes quite a bit of energy. Does she have some magical weapon that can continuously restore her true essence without needing to activate it?"

"No." Yan Yu frowned and said.

"It's very simple." Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "Didn't she take a pill to restore her true essence before?"

"Refining medicinal power requires mobilizing true essence, which conflicts with practicing Taoism, right?" Li Zhaojiang asked curiously, "Could it be that she can maintain two qi pathways in her body simultaneously? Does she have two sets of meridians?"

"Impossible." Li Minghu was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked in surprise, "Could it be like this? Firing a thunder spell, then immediately refining the medicinal power, waiting for the following thunder to fall a distance and enter the attack range, then firing another thunder spell..."

"That's not right," Zhang Huaide said. "According to what you said, each time the medicinal power is refined, it only takes 1-2 seconds. How efficient can the recovery of true energy be? It's impossible to sustain the consumption of her thunder method so far."

Everyone began to think deeply.

"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean Ruoxi can't do it." Zhao Yuanzhen suddenly said.

This remark suddenly awakened everyone, causing them to suddenly realize something: Xie Ruoxi's exceptional aptitude for cultivation was not only reflected in her astonishing total amount of True Essence, but also in its powerful quality. Even in her daily Qi-refining exercises, the amount of spiritual energy she could absorb in one revolution was greater than Chen Lingyun's three or five revolutions. The same principle held true for her efficiency in refining medicinal potency.

"No wonder I rarely saw Ruoxi taking pills before!" Lin Ning also woke up as if from a dream and said quickly, "If her true energy consumption is not too much, she may not even need pills. She can just sit there and meditate for a while, and her true energy will be restored on its own!"

"Then what's the suspense?" Li Zhaojiang said immediately, "Is it the heavenly tribulation that is wearing her down, or is she wearing down the heavenly tribulation? Don't wait until the heavenly tribulation is over and she hasn't finished her pills. That would be truly amazing."

"Okay, shut up." Li Minghu interrupted him immediately. "No danger, isn't that a good thing? Don't forget that you also have to overcome the tribulation."

"Indeed," Li Zhaojiang said quickly. "If Xie Ruoxi could really pass the tribulation and form an elixir so easily, I would set up a memorial tablet at home and burn incense every day to ask her to bless me to pass the tribulation smoothly."

"You're almost there." The girls from the Zhenhai team couldn't help laughing.

Ruoxi's tribulation was so smooth, and everyone's worries gradually settled down. Zhao Yuanzhen went outside to bring back some snacks so that everyone could eat and chat. It felt more like watching a movie than watching someone go through a life-or-death tribulation.

"I'm back!" Liu Longtao suddenly pushed the door open and hurriedly called out, "Where's Lao Yan?"

"What's up?" Yan Yu stood up and said, "Ruoxi from our team is still going through the tribulation, so please wait for me if you have nothing else to do."

"Something's up! I'm looking for you for something!" Liu Longtao said without hesitation, motioning Yan Yu to follow him out. "What's so interesting about Xie Ruoxi's tribulation? With her cultivation aptitude, it's no surprise!"

The two of them came to the corridor outside, and only heard Jingye lower his voice and say:
"The latest intelligence is that a large number of people are missing in the Kinki region of the Sakura Empire!"

"Really?" Yan Yu was also shocked.

The Kinki region was completely different from the Shikoku region. In terms of population alone, the former's permanent population was over six times that of the latter, and if something happened, the level of unrest would be unprecedented.

Using Kinki as the ritual site for the Yamata no Orochi, is Onmyoji Temple crazy enough to create a monster to destroy humanity?

"It's true," Liu Longtao said in a deep voice. "Many villages, towns, and small cities have lost their population overnight. Those who are still alive are in a panic, and many are migrating towards the capital, Osaka, to escape. The local militia has set up a blockade, using Osaka's limited carrying capacity as an excuse to prevent them from pouring into the capital."

"What does it say above?" Yan Yu asked.

"No matter what the higher-ups say, this matter can't be delayed any longer!" Liu Longtao said quickly, "What if a few more Jindan cultivators appear? We've already sacrificed so many people. What if the Yamata-no-Orochi truly reveals itself and its power explodes to kill us? Are we going to use the lives of the Jindan cultivators to pay for it?"

"Let's go to Pingjing right away and make a petition to the Privy Council!"
