Chapter 66

  Time flies easily, and people are thrown away; cherry blossoms turn red, and banana leaves turn green!

  Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another two years have passed; Lin Ruolan, now twelve years old, is growing more and more slender and elegant.

  Due to the effects of washing her marrow and refining her body, combined with Lin Ruolan's long-term stay in the secret realm and space; Long-term consumption of spiritual spring water and spiritual fruit, the 12-year-old girl's figure has already grown tall; Her slender physique looks like it should be one or two years older than that of an average person of the same age.

  About a year ago, Lin Ruolan, who had been in the secret realm for hundreds or thousands of years, finally relied on the water spirit and Tianyang fruit to successfully enter the Golden Elixir stage again.

  If Lin Ruolan had always been in the secret realm, then there would be no such thing as a thunder tribulation; after all, this secret realm was not subject to any of the laws of the universe.

  It wasn't until Lin Ruolan was certain that she could truly move about freely without being restricted within the secret realm that she left with the Tianyang fruit and a small piece of water-elemental crystal that she had picked from within the secret realm.

  As soon as Lin Ruolan left the secret realm, she saw Qingwei Zi, the old Taoist priest who was her cheap master; judging from his appearance, he should have been waiting in the Clear Wind Cave all along.

  "Little girl, you've finally come out." Qing Weizi, the old Taoist priest, walked towards Lin Ruolan with a relieved expression.

  At this moment, Lin Ruolan didn't have the mind to chat with Qingweizi, the old Taoist. As someone who had already reached the initial stage of Golden Elixir, she felt a faint but looming pressure from the horizon; she knew that she would soon attract thunder tribulation.

  Damn it! This damn heaven doesn't even give itself time to breathe.

  Lin Ruo Lan's face suddenly changed, and she couldn't be bothered to say any more nonsense to Qing Wei Zi Lao Dao Shi. She directly took out the white jade plum blossom hairpin that Qing Wei Zi Lao Dao Shi had given her and transformed it into a sword with a light leap, standing up. Before breaking through the air with her sword, she didn't forget to loudly shout a sentence at Qing Wei Zi Lao Dao Shi.

  "Master, quickly activate the protective array of Yunjian Mountain; your disciple's tribulation is about to arrive, I'll go find a place to transcend it first." The last word had just reached Qingweizi's ears when Lin Ruolan was already gone without a trace.

  Qing Wei Zi was still reeling from the shock of his own disciple flying with a sword, when Lin Ruolan's words nearly scared him half to death.

  What the...?! Crossing... crossing tribulation?!

  Damn it! Did my own ears hear that wrong? Qing Weizi, the old Taoist priest with a face full of wrinkles, was first stunned and then overjoyed... Thank goodness, the Yunhe Mountain lineage finally has hope again.

  Just as Qingwei Zi was busy opening the Hu Shan Da Array, Lin Ruolan finally arrived at a desolate mountain thousands of miles away from Yun Juan Mountain before the thunderbolt struck.

  He carefully took out the water-based crystal from space and used its thick spiritual energy to add double protection to himself; and for the first time, he wore the phoenix feather given by Qingwei Zi Lao Dao on his body.

  Even so, Lin Ruolan still looked very ugly; she didn't have any confidence to get through this thunderstorm smoothly, it really was a matter of life and death all depending on heaven.

  Heaven and earth are not benevolent, regarding all things as straw dogs; this time Lin Ruo Lan finally had a deeper understanding of this sentence.

  Heaven and earth treat all things as the same, not being particularly good to anyone; nor will they be particularly bad to anyone. Human life is no different from that of pigs and dogs, there is no great distinction between them, this statement is indeed true.

  Lin Ruo Lan didn't need to raise her head to know that the calamity clouds at the horizon had become increasingly dense; the entire sky was covered, with flashes of lightning from time to time; Ah...the color of the lightning was actually a pale purple.

  I'm going to yell!

  Lin Ruo Lan finally understood one thing, why there have been many people practicing Taoism from ancient times to the present; however, those who can truly achieve ascension in broad daylight are very few.

  This tribulation is not about human feelings, it will not treat a certain person specially; It's just a small golden elixir tribulation, and the momentum has already been quite frightening; Not to mention the later yuan infant period, condensing spirit period, transforming spirit period, mahayana period and the final tribulation period, those tribulations and heavenly calamities are not something ordinary people can easily pass through.

  At the thought of this, Lin Ruolan's heart had already turned cold.

  The dark clouds gathered more and more at the edge of the sky, and the color of the sky gradually deepened; The whole sky seemed to be covered by a thick layer of curtain, even in the daytime it was like night; All around were pitch-black and oppressive.

  Roll after roll of thunder rumbled on, and the real storm had not officially begun; Lin Ruolan already felt the strong pressure between heaven and earth, seeing this terrifying grand formation; Lin Ruolan's face was like her heart, slowly sinking down bit by bit.

  Damn it!

  Is this the tribulation of the Golden Elixir? Lin Ruolan suddenly felt a thread of fear, she was only in the early stages of the Golden Elixir; this tribulation was already so terrifying, and it hadn't even waited for Lin Ruolan to fully prepare. With a loud "Boom", the first bolt of lightning had descended from the sky; with an earth-shaking power, the thunderbolt struck down from the clouds, its power unrelenting.

  Although Lin Ruolan had already mentally prepared herself, when the incredibly powerful thunderbolt struck her body, the pain that tore through her heart almost made her faint on the spot, and her lips were covered in blood from being bitten by her own teeth.

  Feng Yu Bao Yi had already been struck by the heavenly thunder and turned into a wisp of green smoke that vanished without a trace; just as Lin Ruolan thought the first wave of tribulation should have passed, a purple lightning bolt followed closely after the heavenly thunder and landed on her body.

  After a burst of lightning and thunder, Lin Ruo Lan's body was already charred black; the faint smell of burnt flesh could still be detected, occasionally mixed with the light scent of roasted meat... Ah, the scent of roasted human flesh!

  Lin Ruolan's knees went weak and she knelt to the ground, fortunately her body was much stronger than an average cultivator; after all this space wasn't just for show. With trembling hands, she took out two Tianyang Fruits from the space and quickly threw them into her mouth.

  She felt that the spiritual power that had almost been lost from her body quickly returned to her own body; her heart, which had been tense, finally relaxed a little.

  At this moment, Lin Ruolan was extremely grateful that she had only passed the thunder tribulation of forming the elixir; and not the heavenly tribulation of forming the infant. To know that although it is only a difference of one word, but the power is as different as heaven and earth.

  When forming Dan, the tribulation of thunder has only three paths. As long as you get through it, nothing will happen; but when forming a baby, that day's tribulation is composed of nine paths of thunder tribulation. If you are slightly careless, you will be reduced to ashes and disappear from then on; but if you accidentally succeed, then you will gain a lot; hehe... can increase lifespan by a thousand years.

  The second calamity of thunder arrived quickly, and this time the purple lightning was as thick as a thigh; when the heavenly thunder and lightning struck Lin Ruolan at the same time.

  A mouthful of bright red blood spurted out from Lin Ruolan's mouth, all the meridians in her body had already broken open; the entire surface of her body was also torn and mutilated, without a single intact place.

  Lin Ruo Lan did not know that while she was struggling at the edge of despair, there was also someone in the Yin Yue Imperial Palace who was suffering just like her.

  Shinonome was originally cultivating the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, when suddenly a strange and inexplicable pain appeared in his heart; the sudden severe pain made Shinonome unable to even hold onto the Qixi Treasure Sword.

  "Is... Ran's in trouble?" After the pain had subsided, Shichiya reached out to touch his chest; it was still radiating a scorching heat that seemed to be burning away at his very soul.

  In fact, there was no time to think for seven nights. The pain in his heart had just disappeared; soon another wave of even more intense pain spread throughout his body...

  Qī yè's physical condition couldn't be compared to Lin Ruolan's current state, and after he spat out a mouthful of blood; Qī yè completely fainted. The last thought in his mind was... what kind of danger had Lan'er encountered? Was she okay now?

  Fresh blood kept flowing out of Lin Ruo Lan's mouth, her body's intense pain had already deprived her of the ability to think; relying solely on a survival instinct, Lin Ruo Lan once again took out the Tian Yang fruit from the space; at least eight or nine Tian Yang fruits were stuffed entirely into her own mouth by Lin Ruo Lan in one go.

  The consequence of eating too many Tianyang fruits was that Lin Ruolan's body was instantly filled with a large amount of spiritual energy; her originally injured meridians quickly self-healed under the nourishment of the dense spiritual energy; in the blink of an eye, her injuries had already recovered by more than half.

  There is a kind of person who usually looks lazy and aimless, but once she encounters adversity, she will become like a cockroach that can't be killed, becoming more courageous the more she is defeated. Lin Ruolan is obviously such a person.

  In her past life, Lin Ruolan's greatest wish was to sleep until she woke up naturally and count money until her hands cramped. Even after being reborn, her wishes hadn't made much progress.

  This time Lin Ruolan got angry, her grandma! If I don't show my power, you'd really think I'm a sick cat?

  Lin Ruolan plucked up her courage, lifted her head and chest, and began to prepare for the final thunderbolt; Hmph... I'm going to play a game with you, old heaven, let's see who can outplay whom?

  This last thunderbolt did not come down immediately, but only from the continuously rolling black thunderclouds on the horizon; and those purple lightning bolts that could be seen shouting, this thunderbolt was not to be underestimated if it sounded.

  The sky was already a deep, inky blackness, with thunderclaps that made one's ears ache ringing out continuously at the horizon; even Qingweizi, the old Daoist master who was thousands of miles away on Yunjuan Mountain, felt the ruthlessness of Heaven; under the powerful aura of the Thunder Tribulation, Qingweizi's entire body began to tremble.

  "Ancestor, is...is this the power of Heaven's Way during the Tribulation?" Qing Weizi's face was filled with shock.

  After a long silence, Qingwei Zi's old Daoist suddenly felt a little lucky; at this moment he was extremely grateful that he had not cultivated to the Golden Elixir stage; otherwise, with his old bones, it's likely that he would have been struck by lightning and reduced to nothing.

  It's indeed not easy to cultivate and become an immortal, otherwise wouldn't there be gods and Buddhas flying all over the sky?
