Xiao Lingyu had a bad premonition when he heard Elder Peng's exclamation.
However, the divine pill slowly shrank after expanding for a while. Finally, it was the size of a date and stabilized.
"It almost couldn't withstand the second tribulation lightning. I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand the third tribulation lightning." Mao Zhen shook his head and sighed, looking very regretful.
Elder Peng didn't say anything, but his expression was very gloomy. Like Xiao Lingyu, he hoped that the divine pill could withstand the tribulation lightning.
From Elder Peng's expression, it was clear that he also felt that the divine pill couldn't be saved. Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but look coldly at Mao Zhen.
More than eighty percent of the divine pills refined by the Wondrous Pill Sect could survive the divine pill tribulation, but this time, it was actually going to fail. Moreover, it was already like this under the second tribulation lightning. Xiao Lingyu had reason to suspect that Mao Zhen was doing this on purpose.
"Don't look at me like that. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame your bad luck. The probability of failure is less than twenty percent."
Sensing Xiao Lingyu's unfriendly gaze, Mao Zhen shook his head and said.
Xiao Lingyu knew that it was useless to argue with Mao Zhen now. The most important thing was to protect the divine pill.
Looking at the tribulation clouds in the sky that were still increasing in power, then looking at Qing Xuan who was lying on the wooden bed behind him, Xiao Lingyu gritted his teeth, leaped up, and flew to the divine pill.
"Brother Xiao, you can't!"
Elder Peng called out. He had placed all his hopes on Xiao Lingyu, so naturally, he didn't want Xiao Lingyu to risk his life. Moreover, he also felt that even if Xiao Lingyu made a move, he might not be able to protect the divine pill. Moreover, it was very likely that he would make a meaningless sacrifice.
However, Xiao Lingyu couldn't care less. He had been busy for a long time, expended a lot of energy, and even took a great risk for this divine pill. Even if it wasn't for Qing Xuan, he didn't want this divine pill to go up in smoke.
This divine pill would definitely not be able to withstand the last bolt of tribulation lightning. If it were to take action when the tribulation lightning struck, it would definitely be too late. Therefore, Xiao Lingyu took the opportunity to fly up before the last bolt of tribulation lightning struck.
Xiao Lingyu had just flown into the air when she was locked onto by a powerful aura. The tribulation lightning that was about to descend began to brew again.
"What a pity." Mao Zhen looked at the sky, shook his head, and sighed.
"What's a pity? Your divine pill? "Elder Peng asked with a gloomy face.
"What a pity for the divine pill. What a pity for such a talented young man," Mao Zhen replied.
"Don't pity the divine pill. If you didn't do it on purpose, how could the divine pill be so weak?" Elder Peng said coldly.
"You can't say that. When I was refining the divine pill, you were also present. If I didn't do my best, would you have agreed at that time?" Mao Zhen said with a very reasonable expression.
"Although I have also studied the Dao of Alchemy, I am not proficient in it. If you, a dignified Alchemy Grandmaster, were to play some tricks, how could I see through it?" Elder Peng snorted coldly.
"Don't measure the heart of a gentleman with the yardstick of a villain," Mao Zhen replied.
"If you can be considered a gentleman, then there are no villains in the Immortal World." Elder Peng did not hide his sarcasm.
"I know you are mocking me because you are worried about those divine stones. I won't bicker with you." Mao Zhen looked very magnanimous.
Elder Peng was so angry that his body trembled. He did not know what to say to this old scoundrel. After all, there was no evidence to check whether the other party had really done something when refining the divine pill.
"This tribulation lightning is even more powerful than the divine lightning that ordinary Immortal Supremes face during their Divine Tribulation. He most likely won't be able to withstand it. What a pity!"
Mao Zhen opened his mouth again, as if he wanted to infuriate Elder Peng to death.
"That may not be the case!" Elder Peng was not convinced.
Boom!
Just as the two Martial Grandmasters were discussing, a five-colored divine lightning fell from the sky and blasted straight at Xiao Lingyu's head.
Before the divine lightning could hit him, Xiao Lingyu had already activated his Spiritual Abode and used it to shield his head.
Then, a purplish-black flame turned into a fire dragon and rushed into the sky.
Then, more than a thousand armored puppets appeared around Xiao Lingyu in an instant and shot a five-colored divine light into the sky at the same time.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The five-colored divine lightning was extremely powerful. First, it blasted the Spiritual Abode away, then dispersed the purplish-black fire dragon. Finally, it withstood the bombardment of more than a thousand divine lights and landed on Xiao Lingyu's body.
Whether it was the Spiritual Abode, the Chaotic Primordial Flame, or the thousand divine lights, they were all extraordinary existences. Although they could not completely block the five-colored divine lightning, they had reduced more than half of its power. At this moment, Xiao Lingyu was wearing the Invisible Divine Robe, which could also weaken the divine lightning's power. Therefore, Xiao Lingyu only suffered less than 30% of the five-colored divine lightning's power.
Even so, Xiao Lingyu was instantly blasted into the ground. His body and the divine lightning created a bottomless pit in the ground.
Xiao Lingyu took the bombardment of the five-colored divine lightning head-on. Naturally, the divine elixir was saved. The tribulation clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and a ray of light enveloped the divine elixir.
"This kid has so many powerful techniques. No wonder he dares to be so arrogant in the Wonderful Pill Sect. However … to save the divine elixir, I'm afraid he'll have to leave his life behind."
As Mao Zhen thought this, the corner of his mouth revealed an undetectable sinister smile. He thought again, "Even the Celestial Sovereign has to be polite when he sees me. Who do you think you are to threaten me? You really don't know the difference between life and death!"
Elder Peng did not look at the divine elixir in the sky, nor did he think much of it. Instead, he looked directly at the wooden bed behind him.
When he saw that the little ferret lying next to the Qing Xuan on the wooden bed was still alive and well, Elder Peng let out a long sigh and said, "I told you, that might not be the case!"
If Xiao Lingyu had been killed by the five-colored divine lightning, then the little ferret, who had recognized Xiao Lingyu as its master, would have been destroyed as well. Since the little ferret was fine, it proved that Xiao Lingyu was at least still alive.
When Mao Zhen heard Elder Peng's words, he also looked behind him. When he saw that the little ferret was safe and sound, he immediately frowned.
"Your expression betrayed you!" Elder Peng said with a cold smile.
Mao Zhen did not respond. Instead, he flew directly toward the big pit that Xiao Lingyu had created.
Elder Peng immediately followed him, only to see Mao Zhen throw a golden ball into the big pit.
"Boom!"
Elder Peng had just caught up when a golden light flashed in front of his eyes. Then, an earth-shattering explosion sounded. He was caught off guard and was directly blown far away.
As for the little ferret in the pavilion, it was the first to sense the danger. Before the explosion occurred, it hugged Qing Xuan's ice-cold body and ran far away.
After throwing the golden ball, Mao Zhen jumped up and put the divine elixir into a jade box. The other Cultivators of the Wonderful Pill Sect surrounded him and stared coldly at Elder Peng.
Elder Peng spat out a few mouthfuls of blood from the explosion. After he steadied himself, he pointed at Mao Zhen and said, "How dare you do this?"
"Hmph! You dare to attack the Wonderful Pill Sect and capture my disciple to threaten me. Why wouldn't I dare to do the same? Do you think that the Wonderful Pill Sect can be bullied so easily? "Mao Zhen said with a righteous tone.
Elder Peng's face was full of resentment, but he was already injured. Moreover, the other party had the advantage in numbers. What could he do?
However, in the next moment, Elder Peng seemed to have thought of something. He looked behind him, but he did not see Qing Xuan and the ferret.
After looking around again, Elder Peng finally saw the little ferret. He could not help but laugh loudly.
"Haha! Old bastard, you'll regret your foolish actions! "Elder Peng said with a smile.
Mao Zhen also saw that the little ferret was still unharmed. He frowned again and cursed, "This kid is really tough. He's still alive!"
As he spoke, another golden ball appeared in Mao Zhen's hand. He threw it at the big pit.
"I'm really tough!"
Before the golden ball exploded, a voice full of hatred suddenly sounded in Mao Zhen's ears.
Mao Zhen was shocked. A ball of purple-black flames had already wrapped around his body.
"Stop, you brat!"
Boom!
Mao Zhen's white-haired junior brother had just shouted when another explosion came from the big pit below.
Mao Zhen's junior brother struck out with his palm. Xiao Lingyu transformed one of his arms into a dragon claw and met the attack head-on.
When the two palms collided, Mao Zhen's junior brother was sent flying. Xiao Lingyu only took a few steps back, but he coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood.
Then, under the control of Xiao Lingyu's will, more than a thousand puppets quickly reacted and surrounded the area.
Elder Peng also flew over at this time, his face full of surprise and joy.
As an alchemy grandmaster, Mao Zhen also possessed a divine fire. At this time, a ring of green divine fire flickered around his body, resisting the purple-black Chaos Truefire's burning. For a moment, he did not look worried.
"I've fulfilled all your conditions," Xiao Lingyu said angrily. "Even if I forced my way into the Wondrous Pill Sect, and even if I did kidnap your disciple to threaten you, you're still a grandmaster respected by millions of cultivators in the Immortal World. How could you be so vicious?"
Surrounded by countless armored cultivators, Xiao Lingyu looked completely unaffected. Add to that the fact that Elder Peng was present, the other cultivators of the Wondrous Pill Sect didn't dare to make a move.
"I don't think you'll be grateful to me after I helped you refine a divine pill. When you gave me those things, you probably wanted me to pay you back double in the future, right?" Mao Zhen said as he resisted with all his might.
"To tell you the truth, your guess is correct. I did have such thoughts. Unfortunately, if you hadn't been so vicious, I might have let you go," Xiao Lingyu said.
"There's a saying in the mortal world: the one who strikes first gains the upper hand, the one who strikes later loses. Just now was the best time for me to kill you. I won't give up so easily. If I had to choose again, I would still do the same," Mao Zhen said shamelessly.
"Unfortunately, you underestimate me too much. When I was struck down by the divine lightning just now, my body didn't actually suffer that much damage," Xiao Lingyu said with a smile.
"It's not that I underestimated you, but that I thought highly of you. However, your strength still exceeded my expectations. I also didn't expect your divine clothes to be invisible."
Mao Zhen replied with a wry smile, then said, "Can you leave behind a legacy for our Wondrous Pill Sect?"
