Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

Old Qian received news that Xiong Bufan had completed his mission and also that he had killed that evil cultivator named Bai Qing. He sighed.

Tian Jiarui is Li Qingniang's son, and Xiaogui is Tian Jiarui. Lao Qian searched through a lot of information to reach this conclusion. Li Qingniang's life was really too bitter.

After completing their mission, Xiong Bufan and her group returned to Bureau 528. The main reason was that she needed to go back to collect her wages; killing an evil cultivator and sending away an evil entity was not cheap.

Old Qian didn't try to bargain with Xiong Bufan for raising the price on the spot; instead, he readily gave it to her.

This left Xiong Bufan somewhat bewildered; he realized he might have asked for too little, and wished he had asked for more.

Old Qian: "Elder Li, don't be sad. Reincarnation may be a relief for him."

"I know, but if I say I'm sad, will you give me a raise?"

Looking at Xiong Bufan's serious face, Lao Qian didn't know what to say for a moment. "Monthly salary of 250,000."

"Thank you, I'll thank you."

"You're welcome."

After this little incident, Xiong Bufan continued her journey into the mountains. Although the capital city was nice, she also wanted to see other people's ascension.

The old tree spirit's barrier had enveloped the entire mountain range, essentially allowing entry but not exit, and completely eliminating signal.

Xiong Bufan stood at the edge of the barrier, touching it with his hand. Forcing his way through would be difficult, but not impossible.

Shi Yu: "Elder Li, will we ever meet again?"

"We'll be seeing each other every day, so you have to bring me food every day. You also have to deliver the fruit Xiong Buqiong gives me every month. Keep my salary for me. Most importantly, make sure I'm well-fed every day..."

According to Su Xi, Li Qingniang didn't go into seclusion at all; instead, she went somewhere to enjoy the hustle and bustle and have a vacation. It's a shame that they were heartbroken for a long time when they thought Li Qingniang had gone into seclusion.

The old tree spirit sensed Xiong Bufan's arrival as soon as he touched the barrier, and went straight to the barrier entrance, shouting, "Luwa la la, bala," "What are you doing here?"

Xiong Bufan: "Ashila, Aliluo, I'm here to protect you, I'm not a bad bear."

The old tree spirit looked at Xiong Bufan hesitantly, considering the veracity of Xiong Bufan's words.

Xiong Bufan raised his hand, "I swear, I will never cause you any trouble. If I do, may I be struck by lightning."

Su Xi and Shi Yu didn't expect Xiong Bufan to make the oath so readily. Oaths can affect cultivation if not handled properly.

Kongkong: Your oath is as good as no oath at all.

The more years a person has cultivated, the more they value the power of oaths. The old tree spirit cautiously let Xiong Bufan in, saying, "Axilisaha, come in."

Xiong Bufan: "Okay." Thinking about the food issue, he turned to Shi Yu and Su Xi and said, "You two deliver food to me on time."

"Yes, Elder Li."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, you can leave now. Don't disturb my cultivation."

Shi Yu and Su Xi: "Yes, Elder Li."

Xiong Bufan and the old tree spirit slowly walked deeper into the forest, and soon they disappeared from sight.

Leaving Su Xi and Shi Yu behind, Su Xi asked, "Should we report the truth to the Grand Elder?"

Shi Yu: "I'll report it, but we need to hire two cooks."

"it is good."

Old Qian sighed upon hearing the news about Xiong Bufan. She couldn't get over it herself, otherwise she wouldn't have gone into the deep mountains and forests, unable to protect her son, and was turned into a little ghost, with only her head left to be thrown into the underworld.

This is something no mother could accept, and Li Qingniang is escaping reality.

If Xiong Bufan knew what Lao Qian was thinking, he would definitely say that she was overthinking things. She didn't care about Tian Jiarui's life or death at all. Throwing him into the underworld was already her last act of kindness.

The normal procedure is for her to first place the soul in the Taoist temple for a ritual to help it pass on to the afterlife, then use talismans to nourish the soul, and when the time is right, she will summon the ghost messenger, stuff the nourished soul into the ghost messenger, and at the same time give the ghost messenger a large sum of money so that he can be reincarnated into a good family.

But Xiong Bufan didn't do that. She just threw the man into the underworld and never expected him to be punished.

On the mountain, they still eat three meals a day. When the old tree spirit is in a good mood, he will exchange things for some food. He also wants to taste human food at the last moment before his ascension.

Thirty or forty years passed in the blink of an eye. Thunder rumbled in the sky, and the old tree demon finally reached the time to undergo its tribulation.

Su Xi and Shi Yu's faces were covered with wrinkles. They were now in their seventies or eighties, and they had never stopped delivering meals over the years.

The old tree spirit sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, awaiting the arrival of the tribulation lightning.

Xiong Bufan stood not far away, wondering if the lightning tribulation in this small world was the same as the one in their place.

To cultivate immortality, she was willing to give up many things, such as good TV dramas, but nothing else.

A bolt of lightning crashed down, charring the old tree spirit to a crisp, but it was still able to stand up, straighten its clothes, and set up a barrier to prepare for the second tribulation.

Xiong Bufan: "Kongkong, will this happen when I undergo tribulation?"

"Could I use my broadsword to catch the lightning bolt? That way I won't get charred black."

The two little ginseng spirits peered out the mirror, hoping that Grandpa Tree would save them; they didn't want to serve this bad cat.

Kongkong used its paw to pat the two little ginseng spirits aside and said thoughtfully, "Theoretically speaking, they will also undergo tribulation."

However, if one uses a horizontal sword to intercept heavenly lightning, their magical power after ascension will be greatly reduced, far less powerful than someone who has successfully weathered a complete heavenly tribulation.

Xiong Bufan: "Alright, I'll take another look."

The old tree spirit has already received the second bolt of heavenly lightning, which is significantly stronger than the first.

Many things took advantage of the barrier disappearing to gather in the mountains to observe, while others wanted to take the opportunity to make a quick buck before leaving. A tree spirit that has cultivated for ten thousand years must have some good stuff.

The old tree demon's true form was a jujube tree, which had now been split open, revealing its emerald green inner core.

During the tribulation, the inner core must be inside the body; otherwise, there is no way to resist the heavenly lightning.

The surrounding demons and human cultivators were eager to get their hands on the old tree demon's inner core, which was a valuable item with ten thousand years of cultivation, but they dared not approach due to the deterrence of the heavenly lightning.

Xiong Bufan took out her horizontal sword, eager to try, wondering if her sword could withstand the heavenly lightning that the demon was undergoing its tribulation.

The thunderclouds in the sky grew larger and thicker.

The old tree spirit looked up at the sky. He might not be able to withstand the third bolt of heavenly lightning, but he was unwilling to give up just one more step.

He has existed since the beginning of time, and has lived to this day. His greatest dream is to become an immortal, which eventually became an obsession.

The third bolt of heavenly lightning has struck, and it is larger than the previous two bolts combined. In its current state, the old tree demon definitely cannot survive it.
