"Did he really go out to eat?"
"What's there to eat in the lightning tribulation?"
Feng Ziyi, Zhang Yu, and the others stared at one another in disbelief.
That was a lightning tribulation! No matter how high one's cultivation was, they would find it extremely troublesome to deal with it. It was a punishment of the heavens, and yet, that fellow actually rushed out after preparing his meal and burped …
Did he really have to be so arrogant?
More importantly, the lightning tribulation had really been scared away. How could it have escaped so quickly?
"Elder Liao, is this your lightning tribulation? What's going on?"
Unable to take it any longer, Fei shi turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
"How would I know what's going on?"
Elder Liao also felt as if he was going insane.
It was true that this was his lightning tribulation, but from start to end, it seemed like it had nothing to do with him at all!
Other cultivators would have a slim chance of surviving a lightning tribulation, but the lightning tribulation that he was facing actually ran away after seeing it!
To be honest, he was also dumbfounded by the situation.
"Try to see what your current cultivation realm is. If it's Dimension Sundering realm, it means that you have successfully overcome your lightning tribulation!"
Feng Ziyi said.
"Un."
Elder Liao nodded. Taking a look at his body with his Spiritual Perception, his eyes widened in shock. "I have already achieved a breakthrough …"
To be able to overcome the lightning tribulation with just a single glance, this was probably the easiest breakthrough in history!
"You have indeed achieved a breakthrough …"
Feng Ziyi's lips twitched upon hearing Elder Liao's acknowledgement. Raising his head once more, he saw Zhang Xuan slowly descending from the clouds with a look of regret on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Elder Liao walked up to Zhang Xuan and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Zhang Xuan replied with a wave of his hand.
He had thought that with the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast and Bai Yu augmenting the lightning tribulation, it should have been sufficient for him to recover his strength. Who could have thought that the fellow would become a little more cunning after being absorbed twice in a row?
As soon as he entered, he had been absorbing the lightning tribulation frenziedly, and he had only managed to recover 70% of his zhenqi when the lightning tribulation had already noticed him. Unable to hold it in any longer, it turned around and fled.
"It seems like I'll have to pay the Hall of Integrity a visit later … That's a sacred ground for cultivators to achieve breakthroughs.
Rubbing his chin, he speculated.
Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom, and Trust. Each of the five halls had a different division of labor. The Hall of Trust could stabilize a person's state of mind, reducing their inner demons during breakthroughs. It was precisely because of this that it was a treasure ground for breakthroughs. Every day, there would be students trying to break through to a higher realm.
If worse came to worst, he could come here to absorb the lightning tribulation. There should be a great harvest there.
"Liao Xin, you've successfully broken through?"
While he was making his calculations, Sacred Doctor Bai Yu flew back. When he saw that his old friend's Profound Void Domain was spinning non-stop, he was greatly astonished.
Initially, he thought that his attempt to break through this time would definitely be a narrow escape from death. Never had he imagined that it would be so easy, and he actually succeeded …
At the same time, he looked at the young man before him with eyes filled with respect.
"This … what's going on?"
Unable to hold himself back any longer, he turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
"Lightning is a secret art imparted to me by my teacher, so it's not convenient for me to reveal it to others …"
Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
Since he already had Feng Ziyi, his' junior ', as a shield, he could just push the blame onto his teacher.
In any case, he couldn't contact 'Yang shi', so there was no way for him to ask about it.
"Then … how did you resolve Liao Xin's poison earlier?"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was unwilling to talk about it, Sacred Doctor Bai Yu decided not to probe any further.
"While the fire poison that Elder Liao is afflicted with can be suppressed using the Hiemal Yin Formula, it has already developed its own sentience over time!"
Zhang Xuan explained.
"Sentience?"
Sacred Doctor Bai Yu nodded.
Some of the more formidable poisons did possess sentience, so they were able to avoid calamity, leaving the antidote helpless against them.
"With sentience, it's able to avoid the suppression of the Hiemal Yin Formula. Thus, if he continues to cultivate the Hiemal Yin Formula, not only will he not be able to fend off the poison, he'll even worsen his injuries. That's why I told him not to continue cultivating it! "
Back when he was in the Library of Heaven's Path, he had seen this matter and tried to dissuade him.
"Under normal circumstances, as long as he doesn't cultivate it, the fire poison will gain sentience and won't wreak havoc for the time being. As long as he makes proper preparations, he should be able to expel it … Who could have thought that you would find the Infernal Lotus?"
Recalling the content that he had seen previously, Zhang Xuan shook his head helplessly.
"The Infernal Lotus is indeed the bane of the fire poison. It's one thing if the fire poison doesn't possess sentience, but as soon as it enters Elder Liao's body, it immediately suffers a backlash. It's just like how water and fire are incompatible, but if you pour water on a high temperature cauldron, it will only make the flames even more ferocious!
"After consuming the Infernal Lotus, the fire poison has grown even stronger. Elder Liao doesn't have much vitality left in his body in the first place, so it's only natural that he succumbs to the heat of the fire poison. That's also the reason why he's so feeble and on the verge of death."
Understanding what was going on, Sacred Doctor Bai Yu's face reddened in embarrassment.
Previously, he had felt indignant that the other party had called him a quack, but at this very moment, he realized that the other party was nothing but a quack.
If not for the Infernal Lotus that he had used, his old friend would not have nearly died on the spot.
"Then … how did you cure him of the poison?"
After a moment of awkwardness, Sacred Doctor Bai Yu continued asking.
Even though the other party had successfully cured him of the poison right before his eyes, he still had no idea how he had managed to do it.
"It's very simple … Since the lethal poison has gained sentience, it's only natural that it wants to absorb more energy to grow stronger, so it doesn't want its host to die so quickly. That's why I intentionally provoked you so that you could face the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast!"
"The two of you executed your strongest attacks and placed Elder Liao within. In order to prevent the latter's soul from dissipating, the fire poison morphed into a lotus to fend off your attacks.
"The attacks of the two of you were simply too powerful, and the lotus was placed at the center of your attacks. In just a single blow, it was already severely weakened, and it nearly dissipated. At that moment, I stabbed my sword into the vitals, and the lotus finally succumbed to the pressure and dissipated. However, even so, the poison was still unable to be neutralized. Initially, the lotus was intending to return to Elder Liao's body, but I stopped it, and it dissipated completely.
"Without the suppression of the lethal poison, Elder Liao was able to assimilate his suppressed cultivation and achieve a breakthrough immediately. You should know what happened next by now."
Zhang Xuan said with a smile.
In truth, it wasn't as complicated as he had thought. It was just that the fire poison in Elder Liao's body had gained sentience.
"To think that a poison that has gained sentience could be dealt with in such a manner …"
Hearing Zhang Xuan's explanation, Divine Healer Bai Yu remarked in realization.
Poison of the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast had always been the greatest headache for physicians. He had never thought that there would be such a simple solution to it.
"Indeed …"
Zhang Xuan nodded with a smile. Just as he was about to comment on the matter, he suddenly froze, and his eyes lit up.
"The Innate Fetal Poison in my body is a poison that has gained sentience as well. Could it be that I can use the same method to deal with it?"
