Couple cultivating immortality: My Taoist partner and I grew up through planting

Chapter 274: Shi Yan Advances to Golden Elixir
It was already noon the next day when the two returned to the courtyard in the inner city of Longcheng.

The prey was given to Xiao Ting, who arranged for the housekeeping robot to process the prey, and then cook the meat and the spiritual plants grown in the space into cooked food.

The two of them went back to their room to rest for a day and a night, and the next day they entered into an intensive state of practice again.

Time flies. A month has passed in the outside world, but with the help of the time array, three months have passed in this space.

It was also on this day that they left the space and headed for the Ascension Peak.

Shi Yan is about to advance to the Golden Elixir stage.

This time, the Jindan cultivator in charge of the hall was replaced by a different person, who was not an acquaintance. This made the two men feel relieved and they paid the spirit stones for renting the room.

Han Xin wanted to protect Shi Yan here, so just like last time, they rented two separate rooms, and the two of them went into their respective rooms to practice.

After one night, there was movement from Shi Yan's side. He was about to advance to the Golden Elixir stage.

Han Xin followed him out of the room.

As soon as Shi Yan sat down on the tribulation platform, the lightning that was ready to strike in the sky could not wait to descend.

One after another.

The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds like night, and suddenly it was as bright as day with lightning and thunder.

Monks from the surrounding area came one after another to observe Shi Yan's advancement.

Shi Yan was well prepared. The formation provided by Feisheng Peak could not withstand being struck by lightning, so when the first thunder tribulation came, he threw out a fourth-order formation plate that had recognized its master.

The formation of Feisheng Peak could still withstand the power of the first thunder tribulation, so Shi Yan wanted to try to guide a small amount of thunder and lightning power into his body to be refined and absorbed, so as to improve his physique while advancing.

I thought so and did it. It was the first time I drew lightning into my body. The pleasant feeling was something only people who have been struck by lightning know.

It took Shi Yan a while to concentrate his mind on refining the lightning that entered his body. At first, the places where the lightning passed were numb and painful, but later he got used to the feeling. He sped up the refining process, and his body gradually expelled the black and yellow stains.

Because it was Shi Yan's first time trying to draw lightning into his body, he didn't dare to draw in too much lightning, and the speed of refining it was very slow. When the second thunder tribulation came, he was able to completely refine the lightning that had been introduced into his body.

The second time, more lightning was introduced into the body, and the speed of refining was much faster.

When the last thunder tribulation came, he actually absorbed 1 percent of that thunder tribulation into his body.

The last thunderbolt was many times more powerful than the previous ones, but he was greedy and took in so much at once. Those thunderbolts directly turned him into charcoal and even singed his hair.

Instantly the surroundings were filled with the aroma of burning.

Fortunately, Shi Yan's front part had been numbed by the lightning, so this time, apart from the greater pain, he didn't feel anything else. He was wholeheartedly concentrating on refining the lightning power that entered his body.

As he practiced, the scenery before his eyes changed.

From the outside, Han Xin only saw him sitting cross-legged motionless in the formation, and noticed that the surrounding spiritual energy was entering his body, but the speed had become much slower.

All cultivators who have survived the tribulation know that this is because the person who has survived the tribulation has entered a realm of inner demons.

Han Xin was not worried that Shi Yan would not be able to overcome his inner tribulation. She could overcome it easily, let alone Shi Yan, whose character was even more determined than hers?
As Han Xin expected, Shi Yan recovered from his mental calamity in less than half an hour.

After his mind returned to his body, Shi Yan immediately felt physical discomfort. He hurriedly continued to refine the thunder power that had not yet been refined in his body.

At the same time, the weather was good and a large amount of spiritual rain fell.

The injuries on Shi Yan's body were repaired by the spiritual rain, and the dirt on his body fell off, revealing his handsome face. But... the thunder power that had not been completely refined suddenly came to mess up, and the body that had been repaired with great difficulty was electrocuted and turned black again.

Of course, Shi Yan was refining the thunder power in his body at this time and had no time to notice the changes on the surface of his body.

When the onlookers saw the blessing from heaven, they all sat down and began to meditate.

Only Han Xin noticed this phenomenon, but she didn't have time to laugh at Shi Yan. She waved her hand and took out the container that had been prepared long ago to catch the spiritual rain.

This is spiritual water rich in spiritual energy. Keep it and drink it later.

Han Xin didn't want to affect Shi Yan's absorption of the spiritual rain, so she didn't dare to get close to him to absorb the spiritual rain.

In this case, it can only be collected outside the range of the spiritual rain, which also results in the cultivators absorbing the spiritual rain in the periphery absorbing less spiritual rain.

Even though they closed their eyes to absorb the spiritual rain, they were actually wondering why the rain was too light.

After collecting five buckets, Han Xin realized that the spiritual rain was about to stop, so she stopped collecting immediately.

The spiritual rain stopped, and the surrounding monks left the place one after another.

Everyone who returned was wondering why their cultivation did not improve much after absorbing the spiritual rain this time.

How could they know that there would be someone who would not practice at this time but instead run to receive the spiritual rain.

Shi Yan sat there for the entire day, and only when it was completely dark did he slowly open his eyes.

Finally, I have refined that huge amount of thunder power. I won't be able to be so aggressive when I try to overcome tribulation in the future.

Shi Yan stood up, looked down and saw how messy he was. The corners of his mouth twitched. He used the cleaning technique on his whole body three or four times before he was satisfied.

The clothes on his body were also singed by the lightning, and he could only hang on them with difficulty.

Han Xin was worried that someone would do something bad to Shi Yan, so after the spiritual rain stopped, she took out a fourth-order defense array and activated it, covering herself as well.

While the stone inkstone was being refined, she left a trace of her spiritual consciousness to guard the surroundings and sat down to practice.

When Shi Yan stood up, Han Xin noticed it at the first moment. She completed the whole cycle of circulation before she stood up.

He glanced at Shi Yan and saw that he was in good spirits. Then he said with a look of fear: "A Yan, you are too brave. You actually attracted lightning into your body." Then he asked with concern: "Are your injuries healed?"

"Everything is fine, Xinxin, don't worry about me."

Why did he attract lightning into his body? Wasn't he learning from her?

Last time, Han Xin was struck by lightning because the formation was broken. At that time, didn’t Xin Xin choose to absorb and refine the lightning that struck her?

If Xinxin can absorb and refine it, then so can he.

It’s true that lightning is good for the body. It hurts a bit, but he feels that his physical fitness has improved a lot compared to before.

And because of his greed, he retained more of the last thunder tribulation on himself. Although refining those thunder and lightning caused him a lot of pain, it finally allowed his cultivation to soar to the middle stage of Golden Core.

The spiritual energy contained in lightning is dozens of times that in the air. He never expected that.

I'm afraid there aren't many monks who know that being struck by lightning can bring such benefits.

This also includes Xinxin herself, otherwise she would have told me long ago.
