The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

Finally, after failing 15 times in a row, Chen Xuan finally learned the ability to absorb lightning tribulations.

The subsequent 19 lightning tribulations all became his nourishment, and his cultivation level was approaching the third level of the Integration Stage!

It wasn't until the final, most powerful tribulation lightning strike that Chen Xuan and Lin Rou faced and absorbed together, allowing his cultivation to successfully break through to the third level of the Integration Realm, thus ending the tribulation.

"Hmph, a mere heavenly tribulation is nothing special!"

"Don't give me that! You're only at the Integration stage, yet you're already facing a Heavenly Tribulation. Let's see how you get through the Tribulation Transcending stage, the Mahayana stage, and finally, when you ascend to the Immortal Realm!"

Seeing that Chen Xuan was getting a little cocky, Lin Rou couldn't help but tease him.

"Hehehe, I have you, my wife, so this little tribulation is nothing to me!" Chen Xuan smiled and hugged Lin Rou.

"Go away, look at yourself! You're covered in dirt and filth, don't get my clothes dirty too!"

Lin Rou looked disgusted, but didn't do anything specific, letting Chen Xuan hold her.

Clearly, what he thought in his heart was not the same as what he said.

Before the two could say anything more, the cloud mark on Chen Xuan's forehead lit up.

"Someone's coming. I'll go down first. You talk to her!" After Chen Xuan finished speaking, his figure disappeared and he arrived at the dilapidated Hehuan Sect below.

"So it was you undergoing tribulation. Interesting. You only broke through to the Integration Realm and were able to trigger a lightning tribulation. You've been hiding it quite well!" Hua Mengjie's figure appeared in front of Lin Rou.

"metropolitan."

Lin Rou gave a slight bow.

After a few days of getting to know Hua Mengjie at the sect, she had a general understanding of Hua Mengjie's personality. She discovered that Hua Mengjie was a person who particularly liked to reason and had her own principles of fairness and justice, making it unlikely that she was a member of the Demonic Sect.

Hua Mengjie was about to ask Lin Rou something when she suddenly frowned, disappeared in a flash, and reappeared carrying Chen Xuan in her hand.

"You've been in the sect the whole time?"

"Yes, that lightning and thunder just now scared me to death!" Chen Xuan said, still shaken.

"This is impossible! How could there be other living beings under the Heavenly Tribulation!"

"Yes, it is possible. It is a secret technique that I discovered during my early adventures. It can allow a person to remain unaffected by the heavenly tribulation without interfering with the person undergoing the tribulation."

"May I have a look?"

Lin Rou didn't waste any time. She took out a jade slip and copied the secret technique onto it.

This was a secret technique created by one of her disciples in an attempt to challenge the heavens.

Hua Mengjie took the jade slip and was immediately captivated by its contents, marveling at its wonder.

After a long while, she finally released Chen Xuan and returned to the ground with Lin Rou.

"I didn't expect you to be willing to teach him such a secret technique. It seems that his identity is quite extraordinary!"

"Didn't I also pass this secret technique on to you, Sect Master?"

“I won’t take advantage of you. I will give you a secret technique or treasure that is equivalent to this method later. On the contrary, you gave me the secret technique without hesitation just because I mentioned it.”

Lin Rou remained silent for a while before slowly speaking: "I can only say that he is different; he is Chen Xuan."

"Chen Xuan? It seems I really need to find out what's been happening in the cultivation world lately." Hua Mengjie looked at Chen Xuan, her gaze deep.

"Manager Lin, you have great talent. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can join the Flying Immortal Sect. There, you will find a wider world!"

"Could the sect leader be...?"

"Be careful!"

Hua Mengjie stopped Lin Rou, and then with a wave of her hand, the people of the Hehuan Sect appeared. Under her command, they began to repair the buildings damaged by the heavenly tribulation. Before long, the Hehuan Sect was completely renewed.

......

That night, Lin Rou casually dealt with the people who came to flatter her, and sealed off her cave dwelling under the pretext of going into seclusion to consolidate her cultivation.

"My husband, I have a question..."

"Go ahead and ask. We're all family, no need to hold it in."

"You, why did you break through your cultivation level at...? This is too strange!"

"Ahem, it's a matter of my constitution, a matter of my constitution. My skin is a bit sensitive, and it just broke through the barrier by accident! This is a problem specific to sensitive skin!"

"I asked my sisters what my husband's constitution is, but..." Lin Rou hesitated.

"But what is it? Tell me!"

"But... I am your celestial spirit, I am originally a part of my husband, so why can you still... then husband, isn't this... yourself? Is this even allowed?"

"Snapped!"

Chen Xuan's face darkened: "Mind your own business!"

"Oh."

"That system, I can just step on my own foot and fly to the sky?"

"Ding! The strongest support! Please don't overlook the word 'strongest'!"

"This is interesting, but it feels a bit strange. I need to try it again!"

......

The next day, before Chen Xuan could sever his connection with Lin Rou, the gate outside the cave began to bang loudly.

"Who is it? Can't a person get some rest this early in the morning! Don't they know my wife is in seclusion!" Chen Xuan grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Even cultivators sometimes need sleep, and Chen Xuan, having undergone his tribulation yesterday and discussed knowledge with Lin Rou last night, naturally needed rest as well.

"Alright, my husband, I'll go out and take a look. You rest well!" Lin Rou comforted Chen Xuan before getting up to open the door.

"Boom."

Outside the gate, Hua Mengjie stood there, aloof and cold.

However, if you look closely, you'll notice a faint blush on her flawless face, making her look delicious and appetizing.

Clearly, she may have seen something she shouldn't have.

"Sect Master? What brings you here? Is there something you need?"

"Ahem, I... I came to see Chen Xuan. His luck with romance... is quite interesting!"

"I see, I'll have him prepare them for you right away!" Lin Rou said as she returned to her cave. When she came out again, she had several peach blossoms of different colors in her hand.

Hua Mengjie glanced at the peach blossom, then took it and handed a storage bag to Lin Rou.

"These are some treasures, used to exchange for the secret technique I took from you yesterday and the peach blossoms I'm sharing today."

"No need, the Hehuan Sect is protecting me, this is what I should give them!"

"Just take it. I have my principles!"

"Alright, does the Sect Master have anything else to say?"

"No, that's all. You... cultivate well!" Hua Mengjie blushed inexplicably, and then disappeared from the spot.
