Chi Lianying's talent was definitely very high. At least from Lu Ping's point of view, Chi Lianying's talent was no less than Liu Tianyuan's, and even comparable to Yin Tianchu's.
The reason why Chi Lianying's level of practice was lower than that of the other two was because Chi Lianying had been seriously injured and her soul had been searched, causing her to lose all of her original memories. After being rescued by Mei Tianqin, Chi Lianying's level of practice was still there, but she was muddle-headed and could only restart her practice from scratch, which naturally delayed her progress.
The other reason was that Chi Lianying had always been stuck in her heart, or rather, it was a knot in her heart!
Perhaps she did not even realize this, but Lu Ping knew that it was because of this knot that she was unable to break through to the peak of the Dharma stage, even though she was only one step away from the peak of the Dharma stage.
If she could not take this step, she would not be able to complete her practice in the early Dharma stage, and it would be even more difficult for her to advance to the mid Dharma stage. If she were to forcefully summon the thunder trial, it might even cause her to fall short of success.
Although Lu Ping couldn't fully understand Chi Lianying's thoughts, he could roughly guess what she was thinking. This was a knot in her heart that Lu Ping couldn't help her with. But he could find a way to help her temporarily forget about the things that were bothering her.
This was the real reason why Lu Ping wanted to take her on a trip to the Central Mainland this time. He hoped that what they encountered on the trip would be able to alleviate the conflict and conflict in Chi Lianying's heart, or perhaps divert her attention to other things.
Lu Ping had succeeded, but he did not expect the situation to be like this. Chi Lianying was very happy playing the pig to eat the tiger. With Lu Ping around, she was not afraid of the other party coming to find her. No matter what, it was much better to be lucky than to be helpless.
In a tree-lined valley, a huge bronze wine cauldron floated above Chi Lianying's head. Clouds of blue mist seeped out of the cauldron and surrounded Chi Lianying, who was in the middle of cultivating. As Chi Lianying circulated her Zhen Yuan, the mist slowly but continuously seeped into her body.
Lu Ping, who was guarding her from afar, could feel the rising aura around Chi Lianying and finally relaxed. Chi Lianying had accumulated enough strength to completely touch the peak of the early Dharma stage, and she was only one step away from triggering the thunder trial.
Now, although Chi Lianying had not resolved the knot in her heart, her heart was no longer as heavy as before. In addition, Lu Ping of of the past six months had accompanied her on her travels to the Central Mainland, and his knowledge and of mind were much broader than before. It was only natural for her to improve her training.
It was only when the air above Chi Lianying's head began to tremble that Lu Ping suddenly stood up and walked into the valley. At the same time, his aura enveloped the entire valley like a slowly rising water level, ready to drown Chi Lianying in her training at any time and interrupt her training.
At this time, Chi Lianying suddenly opened her eyes and smiled at Lu Ping. "Don't worry, I remember what you said. The thunder trial won't come so soon."
After a pause, Chi Lianying said softly, "Thank you!"
With Chi Lianying's intelligence, she had actually understood why Lu Ping had accompanied her on her travels when she had broken through to the peak of the Dharma stage.
Lu Ping breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I just wanted you to see the scene of the thunder trial in advance, so you can be mentally prepared. But don't let the power of the thunder trial make you feel even more pressured!"
Lu Ping stretched out his hand, and the Linglong wine tripod that had been floating above Chi Lianying's head slowly fell into his hand.
As for Linglong, when Chi Lianying had finished her training, she had already leaned on the side of the wine tripod and listened to their conversation. However, after hearing Lu Ping's words, she was immediately displeased and said, "That Linglong's thunder trial is for your partner to enjoy, but Linglong is about to face the second thunder trial. Don't scare this sister!"
Lu Ping laughed and smacked Ling Long's head into the wine cauldron. He scolded, "You little brat, you're so smart. You've been accumulating for so many years. You've already gained so much from the Qing Ming River's water vein, and you've even devoured a lot of the Pure Yang Weapon Spirit's origin essence. If you still can't overcome the second lightning tribulation, I'll just smash you into a pile of scrap metal."
Linglong carefully stood on the side of the wine tripod, revealing only her eyes, and said in a low voice, "If I can't get through the thunder trial, I will naturally become scrap metal. There is no need for you to smash me!"
Lu Ping pretended to be angry and said, "What did you say?"
Linglong said in a tender voice, "I want the Eight Sceneries Building, I want to become a pure Yang spirit treasure like the Qiankun Wine Tripod!"
Lu Ping sighed and said, "The Qiankun Wine Tripod regulates the world's spirit veins. If you take this path, the second tribulation spirit treasure is the top. You have heard the sect's Tian Lian always say that your own quality determines the hope of advancing to pure Yang. Don't think of being like the Qiankun Wine Tripod, but can only choose one of the paths to the end. Do you want to become a second tribulation spirit treasure that is completely the same as the Qiankun Wine Tripod, or only have part of the Qiankun Wine Tripod's function, but can retain the hope of advancing to pure Yang in the future? Choose for yourself!"
Ling Long was suddenly depressed. She didn't have a Qiankun Wine Cauldron imitation spirit treasure. She didn't want to become a heaven-opening divine artifact like the Qiankun Wine Cauldron, but she also knew that such a hope was almost hopeless. If she gave up some of its functions and walked the path of specialization, it would instead concentrate all of Ling Long's advantages and preserve the possibility of advancing to the Pure Yang stage.
"Well, you are the master, it is up to you to decide!"
The dark clouds shrouded the valley, and the purple-blue lightning fell into the valley one after another, illuminating Chi Lianying's slightly pale face. Feeling the tightness of Chi Lianying's grip on his arm, Lu Ping chuckled and comforted her, "Don't worry, this is Linglong's second thunder trial after all. It will be more powerful than the first thunder trial you will summon in the future."
Linglong snorted coldly and said, "I am just worried about Linglong!"
However, Lu Ping still felt the strength on his arm lessen a lot. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, although I have several spirit treasures, I only have two second-tribulation spirit treasures. I will not let Linglong take the risk easily. Moreover, Linglong already had the strength to advance to a second-tribulation spirit treasure more than a hundred years ago. The reason why it has been delayed until now is that I have been hesitating whether to let her fuse with the Bajing Tower. Moreover, Linglong has accumulated a strong foundation over the years. If there are no accidents, this thunder trial should be more daunting than dangerous."
As he spoke, the eighth thunder trial smashed into the valley like a water column pouring down from the sky.
"Bang! Boom! "
Two loud sounds came in succession. Although the two were far enough away from the valley, they could still clearly feel the vibration from the ground under their feet.
A solemn look appeared on Lu Ping's face. Obviously, the eighth thunder trial had injured Linglong quite badly. Her body, which was floating in the air, should have been smashed to the ground by the power of the thunder trial.
However, a muffled buzzing sound came from the valley. Lu Ping's expression relaxed a little. He knew that the thunder trial just now did not cause much damage to Linglong's body.
The tribulation clouds in the sky suddenly collapsed and shrunk. Then, the last thunder trial, with almost all the power of the tribulation clouds, directly fell into the valley through the void.
With a loud bang, the mountains within a radius of a few miles shook. Countless boulders rolled down from the hillsides around the valley. One of the steeper hillsides directly collapsed, forming a cliff that was more than ten feet high.
"Let's go and have a look!"
As soon as the two arrived in front of the valley, Lu Ping frowned slightly.
On the side, Chi Lianying saw Lu Ping's expression and said worriedly, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Linglong?"
Lu Ping looked calm and said, "It's nothing. It's just that there are some people who don't have eyes everywhere."
In the valley, Linglong's wine cauldron was overturned on the ground. But from the flickering light around her body, it was obvious that she was not seriously injured. However, Linglong, who climbed out of the cauldron, looked much more miserable. Her whole body was emitting green smoke, her hair was standing on end, and her small face was black as if she had just come out from a pile of coal.
Chi Lianying chuckled and walked forward to wipe her, but Lu Ping noticed that Linglong was able to exist outside of the wine cauldron. Before Linglong became a Second Tribulation Spiritual Treasure, she rarely left her body. Obviously, the thunder trial had reduced Linglong's dependence on her body.
However, just as Chi Lianying was about to approach Linglong, a shout suddenly came from behind them. "Stop!"
Chi Lianying's expression changed and he turned around to see a few rays of light descending from the valley. The person in front had a greedy look in his eyes as he stared at Linglong's wine cauldron. He said, "This is the treasure of the Flowing Cloud Pavilion. All of you, get out of here!"
Chi Lianying was stunned, but when he saw Lu Ping standing at the side without saying a word, he laughed and said, "What a joke. This is a spiritual treasure of the Flowing Cloud Pavilion. Why does it belong to the Flowing Cloud Pavilion now that it has passed the tribulation?"
Lu Ping had accompanied Chi Lianying as she traveled the Central Plains. Previously, he had been fooling around with her and had concealed his level of training up to the Blood Condensation stage. Naturally, he did not attract the attention of the other party. Chi Lianying, on the other hand, had just reached the peak of the early Dharma stage. His Dharma aura surged and attracted everyone's attention.
The person who had spoken earlier said confidently, "Nonsense. This is a Second Tribulation Spiritual Treasure. How can it belong to an early Dharma Minor Repairs cultivator like you? This treasure was clearly unearthed here and has undergone its second tribulation. This place is under the jurisdiction of the Flowing Cloud Pavilion, so the treasure that was unearthed naturally belongs to the Flowing Cloud Pavilion."
Chi Lianying had been traveling the Central Plains for a long time and naturally knew that the Flowing Cloud Pavilion was a famous and large sect in the Central Plains. However, he did not expect the other party to be so unreasonable. However, looking at Linglong, who had just passed the tribulation, Chi Lianying could understand why these people were trying to take the treasure by force. Although they had the advantage in numbers, Chi Lianying was not afraid.
