Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Xu Zhangqing brought Ruo Qunshuang with him, and the two flew toward Shuixian Peak.
Along the way there was an unusual silence; neither spoke.
All the way, although Ruo Qunshuang's expression was solemn, her heart was filled more with expectation.
For this day, she had not only cultivated her family's Earth-grade cultivation method Nine Curves Tidal Life Technique to the Third Layer, but even the Earth-grade spell Covering Sea Seal had likewise been raised to the Third Layer.
As for the Water Control Pavilion's high-rank cultivation method Water Transformation Technique, and the high-rank spell Water Control Technique, both had also been cultivated to the Fifth Layer.
It could be said she had brought her own potential to the utmost extreme.
Moreover, with Xu Zhangqing's help, she entered Shuixian Peak as a Formal Disciple, then simulated the tribulation-crossing scene ten times, from mana allocation to emergency measures, all thoroughly familiar to her heart.
Ruo Qunshuang exerted slight force with her fingertip, thinking to herself: "This time I must succeed."
On her person, she not only had top-grade Heart-Protecting Pills and top-grade defensive spirit tool Water Pattern Shield.
Even her clothes, hairpins, rings, necklaces, and even her manicure bore spirit patterns.
Everything on her body added together was worth at least a million middle-grade spirit stones.
Plus three top-grade amulets, and one "Mysterious Gold Talisman."
And with the special effect bonus of Shuixian Peak, even if the success rate was not one hundred percent, it was at least ninety-nine percent.
Soon, the two arrived at Shuixian Peak.
"Formal Disciples can enter too?"
"Look clearly, she is Xu Hezhu's Dao Companion!"
"I see, no wonder there wasn't even anyone to stop them."
Xianfeng has rules.
Outer Disciples, Formal Disciples, unless invited by a Core Disciple, are not permitted to enter.
But rules are dead, people are alive.
Xu Zhangqing, as Spirit Field Grain Master and one of Qingmu Peak's Direct Disciples, naturally had the qualification and ability to bring someone into Xianfeng.
Even though this was not Qingmu Peak, but Shuixian Peak.
Although they could not stay for a long time, using Shuixian Peak's ability to simulate tribulation crossing, or truly undergo tribulation crossing, was still no problem.
After entering, the two seemed as if placed within a landscape painting.
The scenery was beautiful beyond compare, and things were lifelike.
Wherever the gaze reached, everything here was intimately related to "water."
Ruo Qunshuang felt the water spiritual energy around her was exceptionally rich, and the spiritual power within her body even involuntarily operated rapidly; the skin covered by her clothes at this moment emitted a watery luster.
Compared to the Water Control Pavilion, the spiritual energy of Xianfeng was richer.
If Hongfeng Valley was one,
then the Water Control Pavilion was three.
Shuixian Peak, one of the Seven Great Immortal Peaks, was nine.
This was also why, once many people became Core Disciples, they rarely left Xianfeng—one of the main reasons.
Having experienced wealth, it was hard to accept poverty again.
Xu Zhangqing said tenderly: "Start when you're ready; I'll watch from the side."
Ruo Qunshuang took a deep breath, choosing the tribulation-crossing location near a spirit spring.
Next she sacrificed the top-grade Water Pattern Shield, suspending it above her head.
Then she took one top-grade Heart-Protecting Pill, and affixed all three top-grade amulets to her body.
With all preparations complete, she began operating the "Nine Curves Tidal Life Technique," constantly mobilizing her own spiritual power, even drawing the surrounding water spiritual energy over.
Not long after, her whole person was enveloped in a layer of deep blue water light.
Xu Zhangqing saw the situation and immediately pulled back a distance.
During tribulation crossing, absolutely no living thing could be nearby, otherwise they would be affected.
When the buildup was nearly ready, Ruo Qunshuang no longer suppressed her own aura, but completely let go, contacting the entire heaven and earth.
In that instant, the clouds above began to churn.
The pure white clouds, as if polluted, transformed into a mass of turbid mud.
At the same time, a heavy, oppressive aura spread out.
Ruo Qunshuang had a water spiritual root, so she needed to face the Earth Turbid Thunder that specifically countered her.
Although this thunder was only a single bolt, it contained rich earth power, capable of corroding water spiritual energy, and extremely lethal to water spiritual root cultivators.
The clouds lowered more and more; not long after, a ten-zhang-long lightning column tore through the clouds, accompanied by a booming "Boom—boom—boom," and struck down toward Ruo Qunshuang.
Seeing this scene, her gaze sharpened.
Water spiritual energy surged around her body; the Nine Curves Tidal Life Technique operated at full power, condensing a ten-zhang-high water wall before her.
At the same time, she cast Covering Sea Seal, compressing the surrounding water spiritual energy, which finally floated in mid-air like a Water Spirit Pearl.
Deep blue light shone, revealing something extraordinary.
Bang!
Earth Turbid Thunder slammed into the water wall; mud splattered everywhere, earth-yellow thunder light spread, and the water wall, as if meeting its nemesis, quickly melted away.
But at this moment, the water ball condensed just now took effect, immediately absorbing surrounding water spiritual energy and continuously feeding it into the water wall for repair.
However, trying to withstand the Thunder Tribulation through this method is simply a delusion.
You must know, this is Earth Turbid Thunder that specifically counters Water Spirit Roots, containing Law Power.
Sure enough, not long after, neither the Water Wall nor the Water Ball could hold on; their melting speed became faster and faster, at most withstanding two tenths of the Turbid Thunder's power.
The remaining eight tenths struck down viciously at Ruo Qunshuang.
Click!
However, this strike was borne by the Top-grade Spirit Tool Water Pattern Shield.
Although it was only for an instant, it likewise neutralized part of the power.
Crack!
Then, fine cracks appeared on the shield's surface.
As time passed, the number of cracks increased more and more.
Seeing this, Ruo Qunshuang activated a Top-grade Amulet without hesitation; a green Spiritual Light instantly unfolded, sheltering her within.
The next second, the Thunder Light shattered and collided with the Water Pattern Shield, then viciously slammed into the Light Barrier.
Instantly, the Green Light Barrier trembled violently, and even ripples rose up in layers.
Pop~
In less than a breath, the first Amulet shattered.
In a turn of an instant, the second Amulet lit up.
A green Spiritual Light with an even smaller range had just begun to unfold when it was struck by the Turbid Thunder.
The time it blocked this time was very short, shattering almost instantly.
However, the third Top-grade Amulet activated, and Spiritual Light appeared again.
And this time, the Turbid Thunder didn't seem that vigorous, even pausing for a moment.
From this it can be seen, after layers of blocking and weakening, the Thunder Might had sharply decreased by at least fivefold compared to when it first fell.
Seeing this, Ruo Qunshuang let out a breath of relief.
Not to mention, there was still a Mysterious Gold Talisman left.
The key point was that the numerous Top-grade Spirit Tools and Spirit Pills on her person still hadn't been used.
Compared to the nervousness and unease at the beginning, she was now much more relaxed.
As the three Top-grade Amulets were exhausted, the residual Thunder Might finally fell upon her body.
But this time, even the Mysterious Gold Talisman wasn't triggered; only a series of "crackling" sounds resounded, and the Spirit Tools on her body activated one after another, absorbing all the residual damage.
When the Thunder Light dispersed, Ruo Qunshuang was safe and sound.
She sat cross-legged, beginning to sense the Earth-grade Golden Core in her Qi Sea.
The Human-grade Golden Core's requirements are simple: just withstand the Turbid Thunder.
The Earth-grade Golden Core is more troublesome; it must absorb Monster Cores of five attributes.
As for the Heaven-grade Golden Core, besides the above requirements, one must also have Five Elements Spiritual Roots.
Therefore, with Ruo Qunshuang's Single Spirit Root plus absorbing Monster Cores of five attributes, after withstanding this Earth Turbid Thunder, she was ranked as an Earth-grade Golden Core on the spot.
Not only did her Divine Sense elevate to Divine Sense, but she also awakened a Divine Ability.
On the Left Side, Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "Not bad, not letting my personal talisman drawing, artifact refining, pill concocting, and even taking out a Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman go to waste!"
