Chapter 70: Transcending the Heavenly Tribulation, the Soul Returning Pill Saves Ming Ning's Life

The disciples of the Baihua Sect gradually gathered, only to be completely surrounded by the disciples of the Lingerie-Sect.

In the distance, the heavenly lightning continued to strike until the eighth bolt ended, at which point the lightning suddenly stopped.

"Why did the heavenly lightning stop? Could it be that Senior Sister..."

Tu Qing grew worried at the sight.

Everyone's gaze also turned toward the location of the dark clouds.

Tu Qing and the others secretly braced themselves.

If Ming Ning failed her Heavenly Tribulation, the disciples of the Baihua Sect might rise up to resist.

"Senior Sister! How are you?"

Jiang Xun flew in the air, looking down at Ming Ning below and shouting.

After eight bolts of Heavenly Tribulation, Ming Ning's clothes were shredded to pieces; even her undergarments were tattered, failing to cover her vital parts.

Ming Ning herself was covered in blood, with hardly a patch of uninjured flesh on her body.

"Cough..."

Ming Ning coughed up a mouthful of blood, lifted her eyes to glance at Jiang Xun, and could not speak.

Her Formation sealed her internal energy, which required a long time to absorb.

Originally, Ming Ning had intended to gradually release this power only when her internal energy was sufficient to break through to the Great Perfection of the Void Refining stage, allowing her to fully master and stabilize this internal energy.

But now that she had broken through abruptly, Ming Ning's body had not yet adapted, her internal energy was insufficient, and she hadn't even made the necessary preparations.

She had only hastily swallowed an Extreme Void-Breaking Pill.

She was already almost powerless to resist the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Senior Sister, take the Huiyuan Pill and the Great Restoration Pill. Focus on your breakthrough; even if you die, I can save you after you pass the final bolt of Heavenly Tribulation."

Jiang Xun tossed two pills to Ming Ning.

Ming Ning did not hesitate and immediately swallowed them.

After circulating her energy, her body began to recover rapidly.

At the same time, the final bolt of heavenly lightning, which had been gathering in the dark clouds for a moment, descended toward Ming Ning with immense momentum and unstoppable force.

Boom!

Ming Ning exerted all her internal energy to resist.

Seven layers of shields formed by a Formation appeared above her head.

Yet this bolt of heavenly lightning was truly formidable; it shattered the seven-layered Formation directly and landed on Ming Ning.

"Urgh! Ah!!!"

Ming Ning wailed in pain instantly. That miserable sound echoed through the mountains, making everyone's heart tremble; just hearing the sound was enough to know how painful it was.

After the thunder, the sky returned to clarity.

Ming Ning's body sat there, already charred black, her flesh scorched and rotten, her life force gradually weakening until not a trace remained.

Seeing this, Jiang Xun immediately flew down and took out the Soul Returning Pill.

"You bastard! That's the last Soul Returning Pill! Wasn't that reserved for me?"

Seeing that Jiang Xun was about to use the Soul Returning Pill on Ming Ning, Jun Tianling immediately shouted.

"Shut up."

Jiang Xun had no heart to explain so much to her and used his internal energy to force the Soul Returning Pill into Ming Ning's body.

As the Soul Returning Pill entered her body, Ming Ning's life force began to reconverge.

Her body was also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Her bones, meridians, blood vessels, fat, flesh, and fair, tender skin all began to reconstruct, finally returning to her beautiful and gloomy appearance.

【Ding, the Huiyuan Pill, Great Restoration Pill, and Soul Returning Pill have been successfully gifted!】

【Obtained: Soul Returning Pill x1, Superior Dahuan Pill x1, Soul Returning Pill x500!】

Ming Ning's brows were tightly furrowed; her beautiful eyes slowly opened, and she exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"I'm alive..."

Ming Ning felt the Void Refining Initial Stage power within her and clenched her fists.

There was no happy expression on her face; after all, she had originally intended to charge straight to the Void Refinement Late Stage Peak and then find an opportunity to enter the Integration Realm to become a Venerable.

But at this moment, she didn't have a single piece of clothing on her.

It was also Jiang Xun's first time seeing Ming Ning's body, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Those exquisite, alluring collarbones, the papaya-like softness, the slender waist with perfect curves and abdominal muscles, and the gate left open by her sitting cross-legged made Jiang Xun swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"What are you looking at? Want to engage in Dual Cultivation with Senior Sister?"

Ming Ning did not avoid Jiang Xun's gaze; instead, she opened her legs outward, supported herself with her hands behind her back, and displayed her alluring body without reservation, revealing a seductive expression.

"No, no, no."

Jiang Xun waved his hands repeatedly, came back to his senses, took out a black robe, and covered his eyes: "Senior Sister, hurry and put on some clothes."

Dual Cultivation at the Nascent Soul Realm could suck a person to death; now at the Void Refining Realm, one session would probably suck four people to death!

Jiang Xun hadn't lived enough yet.

"Hmph." Ming Ning snorted coldly, took the black robe, and draped it over herself: "You guy with the lustful heart but no guts, don't worry, I'm not interested in old men."

"Senior Sister, what's your situation? How did you reach the Void Refining Realm directly? Did Master know all along? He even prepared a Supreme Position for you."

Seeing Ming Ning put on her clothes, Jiang Xun finally dared to look at her directly.

"I originally wanted to break through to the Void Refinement Peak and intended to remain dormant for another two hundred years. Now, all my previous efforts have been wasted."

Ming Ning sighed.

"No wonder you didn't want my Barrier-Breaking Pill; so you were an expert all along."

Jiang Xun gave a thumbs up.

"But you, kid, I could feel that I was already dead; how did you bring me back to life?" Ming Ning stared at Jiang Xun and asked.

"Soul Returning Pill." Jiang Xun did not hide it; after all, this was a good opportunity to increase favorability. Perhaps once favorability reached one hundred, he wouldn't have to fear being drained dry if he saw Senior Sister Ming Ning seducing him again in the future.

Upon hearing this, Ming Ning was very surprised and stunned for a moment.

Thinking that Jiang Xun had been to the Xuwang Mountain Secret Realm, she figured he might have obtained it there, so she did not ask further.

"You used such a precious item on me; are you sure you don't need Senior Sister to repay you?" Ming Ning wrapped her arms around Jiang Xun's shoulders, tucked his head under her arm, and asked while pressing his head against her soft chest.

"I really don't need it, Senior Sister. I still want to live a few more years; you mustn't return evil for good."

Jiang Xun didn't stand on ceremony and rubbed against her twice; hiss, that feels good.

"Rest assured, how could Senior Sister bear to drain you dry?"

Ming Ning licked the corner of her mouth and smiled.

"Senior Sister, let's head back over there first; I'm quite worried about Tu Qing and the others." Jiang Xun gave Ming Ning a squeeze, then said, "Consider this my thank-you gift."

"Tch, brat."

Ming Ning didn't mind, pushed Jiang Xun away, and then flew toward Tu Qing and the others.

Jiang Xun immediately followed.

【Ding, detected Tu Qing's favorability: 80!】

【Return multiplier: 800!】

At the same time, the system's voice arrived; three pills in exchange for thirty favorability was a pretty good result.

"Senior Sister, do you want to be the Sect Master of the Lingerie-Sect?"

Jiang Xun caught up to Ming Ning and asked.

"Don't worry, I won't fight your Tu Qing for the position."

Ming Ning glanced at Jiang Xun and said.

"Then Senior Sister, does that magic array of yours have any drawbacks? Going straight from Nascent Soul to Void Refinement, skipping the entire Spirit Severing realm—that's too absurd, right? Can you teach me?"

Jiang Xun pressed further.

"Of course there are side effects, the side effects are huge; you couldn't learn it."

Ming Ning said.

"What side effects?"

"I'm not telling you."

"Tell me, go on, tell me."

"Stop asking, or I'll beat you up!"
