Chapter 699: Chance Encounter

The subsequent three thunder tribulations were still accumulating, but for Su Fan, they no longer posed much of a threat.

Although he didn't know how powerful the thunder tribulation was when others formed the Nascent Soul, his certainly wasn't big.

The first six bolts were resisted head-on by his physical body; although he was struck by the thunder until his skin was torn and flesh was gaping, the energy of the Star Heart quickly repaired it.

The faster it was destroyed, the faster it was repaired; in this process, his physical body also became more and more powerful.

Although thunder carries destructive power, it also contains life-giving power; all things in the world are opposites of life and death, but they also generate and restrain each other.

The subsequent three thunder tribulations had power that already exceeded the Golden Core, reaching the level of the Nascent Soul first or second layer, but this level still didn't have much use.

Su Fan passed them very easily.

As for the heart demon tribulation that Su Fan was looking forward to, it simply didn't exist.

"Is that it!"

Su Fan curled his lips, feeling it was no different from drinking water.

He was looking forward to the heart demon, hoping it could train his mind, but as a result, there was none at all.

During the last three thunder tribulations, Su Fan flew directly into the thunder cloud and collected some heavenly thunder, refining it into Heavenly Thunder Beads; the power of this thing was very strong.

Perhaps he didn't fear heavenly thunder, but for many other cultivators, it was different.

Risking being struck by thunder, he collected three sides of heavenly thunder, enough to refine six Heavenly Thunder Beads; this Heavenly Thunder Bead, comparable to a fifth-grade low-tier thunder talisman, was also a one-time use.

But the power was very strong; the heavenly thunder in that thunder cloud was Su Fan's thunder tribulation period thunder. Once this Heavenly Thunder Bead was driven, the power was enough to be comparable to the peak strike of a Nascent Soul first or second-layer cultivator, and it was thunder, which was even more domineering.

Even if it were a Golden Core peak cultivator, suffering this Heavenly Thunder Bead, I am afraid it would be very difficult to block it; these six Heavenly Thunder Beads, if used well, were also a threat to Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

After putting them away, leaving them for the Zixiao Sect, it could also be considered a trump card for the Zixiao Sect.

After doing all this, Su Fan set his sights on that group of people in the distance.

With a flash of his figure, he arrived in front of these people; at this moment, his movement speed was like teleportation. In reality, after cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage, he could also teleport short distances.

Taking one step, ten miles was not a problem, and even if there were special escape techniques, it might be faster; taking one step for hundreds of miles was also an opportunity.

It's just that such escape techniques were also very rare.

Su Fan suddenly appeared in front of Wu Yong and the others, instantly startling everyone; one by one, they looked at Su Fan in panic.

The scene of Su Fan crossing the tribulation just now, they could never forget; at this moment, seeing this god-like person arrive, they lowered their heads even more, not daring to look him in the eye.

"Senior! We didn't intend to come here; we encountered Senior by accident and didn't intentionally want to disturb Senior's tribulation. Please forgive us, Senior."

Wu Yong took a deep breath; he knew that the gap between the Nascent Soul stage and him was too large, even if he had a Nascent Soul cultivator behind him.

But that person only enslaved them; facing a Nascent Soul cultivator, he might not necessarily fight against him.

"Heh! What was your purpose in coming here?"

Su Fan was also quite curious; he felt a special aura from these people, and with a careful scan of his divine sense, he discovered that there was a Gu insect in their bodies.

They were poisoned by Gu; unexpectedly, in the cultivation world, there were still such things.

A Golden Core eighth-layer cultivator could be controlled; the person behind this was probably not simple, using Gu poison to control others—this kind of means, at a glance, was an evil cultivator.

Su Fan was also quite curious about that evil cultivator.

Gu insects, in the cultivation world, could also be considered strange insects, and there were quite a few of these strange insects.

Su Fan didn't recognize the Gu insects in these people's bodies, and of course, for Su Fan, wanting to remove them was easy.

Perhaps these people couldn't do it, but for Su Fan, it was not a difficult task.

"Reporting to Senior, we came here to find a spirit plant?"

Wu Yong didn't dare to be slow and hurriedly stated his purpose.

"Fire Sun Grass, how did you know there would be one here?"

Su Fan was quite curious; he had indeed seen the Fire Sun Grass, in the earth vein below the valley where he was in seclusion. Inside, there was a geothermal magma earth vein, which not only gave birth to Profound Yang Warm Jade but also had this Fire Sun Grass.

"Reporting to Senior, the junior has an ability to perceive fire energy. Under my perception, there should be a geothermal vein near here."

"And the Fire Sun Grass grows by nature around the fire vein."

"Are you an alchemist?"

Su Fan suddenly asked; he smelled the scent of medicinal pills from this Golden Core cultivator, although it was only a trace, almost imperceptible.

"Senior has sharp eyes; the junior is indeed a fourth-grade alchemist."

Speaking of this, Wu Yong still had a faint pride, but once he thought that he was now just someone else's slave, the pride in his heart instantly disappeared without a trace, and he became decadent.

Su Fan naturally saw the change in the other side's expression, and his heart moved; a fourth-grade alchemist, placed in the Southern Wilderness Continent, was also an alchemy master.

The entire Zixiao Sect, except for him, had no more than two fourth-grade alchemists, and they were both fourth-grade low-tier, especially Lin Taihe, who had just been promoted to a fourth-grade alchemist; in reality, he could only refine one kind of fourth-grade spirit pill.

This person is a fourth-grade alchemist, and his cultivation has reached the Golden Core eighth layer; he is a talent.

"Fourth-grade alchemist, not bad!"

Su Fan smiled: "However, this seat discovered a kind of Gu insect from your bodies; you were poisoned by Gu?"

Su Fan went straight to the point and didn't want to waste words with these people; except for this person in front of him, he didn't care about the other dozen or so people.

After all, the others were only Purple Mansion and Foundation Establishment; the current Zixiao Sect was gradually not lacking in Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion cultivators.

Not to mention Foundation Establishment cultivators, so many late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, almost every year the Zixiao Sect could give birth to one or two.

Even especially the Su Family's own clan, some people after cultivating the Su Family's Purple Qi secret technique, and then coordinating with the Vein Protecting Pill, didn't even need the Foundation Establishment Pill to build the foundation themselves.

Of course, this was relatively few; most still relied on the Foundation Establishment Pill.

After all, the success rate of building the foundation oneself was not high, and the Vein Protecting Pill only protected their meridians; now the Zixiao Sect was not lacking in Foundation Establishment Pills, and many disciples still used Foundation Establishment Pills.

On this point, the sect did not stop them.

It's just that using the Foundation Establishment Pill and building the foundation oneself, the sect's attitude toward them in the future would certainly be different.

After all, the latter's potential is greater, and building the foundation oneself will go further in the future; of course, this is not absolute.

As for Purple Mansion cultivators, the Zixiao Sect was also not lacking; after merging the Yunyang Sect, the Zixiao Sect had dozens of late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

A few decades later, I am afraid there would be at least thirty Purple Mansion cultivators born, provided there were enough treasures to open the Purple Mansion. ===== CHAPTER 700 =====
