Boom! Crack!
The sound was deafening.
Luo Yunshi could hear it clearly even from a distance.
A bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a wrist, struck straight down.
Who could withstand lightning this thick? She wondered how many defensive magical treasures were needed to survive tribulation. When would her Golden Core tribulation appear? Should she start preparing now? Luo Yunshi mused.
Crack! Crack!
Following that, the lightning bolts grew thicker and thicker.
After 49 bolts of lightning struck, the dark clouds dispersed quickly, the lightning vanished, and a spiritual rain accompanied by beautiful rainbows appeared in the sky, a stark contrast to the dark clouds before.
Luo Yunshi inwardly exclaimed, "Holy shit." This was like watching a blockbuster movie, incredibly shocking.
Was it really that terrifying???
After the lightning tribulation, the cultivators finally began to disperse, chattering amongst themselves.
"I'm so envious! I can't believe the wife of the Myriad Sword Sect Master has such an opportunity. She ascended to Nascent Soul when her lifespan was nearing its end," exclaimed a young cultivator who had just reached Foundation Establishment.
"Should we also buy some spirit food and watch the movie? Perhaps this is also our chance," suggested a nearby cultivator.
"Yes! Let's go quickly, or we won't get seats."
The two of them hurried away.
"Senior Brother, let's go quickly, shall we go see that magical movie? I heard those movies are very interesting. Perhaps our state of mind will also break through. If we don't go soon, we won't get seats," a female cultivator said, pulling on the hem of the male cultivator beside her, her face full of anticipation.
She had heard that one of the movies was particularly exciting, featuring a fake damsel in distress and a white lotus. She absolutely had to make her Senior Brother understand so he wouldn't be deceived by those junior sisters who tripped just by walking in the future.
"Alright, I'll listen to you, Junior Sister. Let's go quickly, or we won't get seats," the Senior Brother said with a smile and nodded.
Suddenly, even more people rushed to watch the movie.
...
Luo Yunshi did not leave. She found a chair in the small plaza, sat down, pretended to know nothing, and looked up at the sky, munching on melon seeds. In reality, her ears were not idle, listening to the conversations around her.
Soon, the Sect Master of the Myriad Sword Sect and his wife flew back to Good Fortune Come, and many elders and peak masters from various sects stepped forward to congratulate them.
Seeing Luo Yunshi sitting in the small plaza, the couple walked over with smiles.
"Thank you, Fairy Luo. Without Fairy Luo's shop, my wife might never have had the chance to reach Nascent Soul in this life," the Myriad Sword Sect Master said with deep gratitude.
"Yes, thank you, Fairy Luo. This is our sect's entrance token. I heard Fairy Luo likes talismans and formations. Our sect's library has related books. If Fairy Luo likes them, you can enter the library to view them with this token," the Sect Master's wife said gratefully. She exchanged a look with her husband, Wan Zhan, and took out a jade-green jade plate from her storage ring, handing it to Luo Yunshi.
Luo Yunshi was delighted upon hearing this. Before she could speak, the Sect Master of the Purple Cloud Sect, Lu Changhe, walked over with his wife.
"Congratulations, your wife has successfully ascended to Nascent Soul," Lu Tianhe said with a smile, looking at Wan Zhan, while inwardly grumbling.
"Well done, you old fox. You're so clever, finding an excuse to give away the library token. We agreed to give it together."
"I could tell you were the most cunning when you were pursuing my younger sister. You're a classic example of 'white outside, black inside'."
Wan Zhan seemed to sense Lu Tianhe's true thoughts, and the corner of his mouth curved upwards again.
"Same to you, same to you."
Wan Zhan: We're all family, aren't we? You've come now. This is a good opportunity.
"Congratulations, Sister, on breaking through to Nascent Soul," Lu Tianhe's wife, Xie Wan'er, said gently.
"Thank you, Sister," Xie Jiao'er said with a happy smile.
"Fairy Luo, my sister was able to break through to Nascent Soul thanks to you. This is the Purple Cloud Token of our Purple Cloud Sect. With it, you can freely enter the Purple Cloud Sect and also enter the library at any time..." Xie Wan'er handed over the token.
Luo Yunshi was quite amused by this turn of events.
She hadn't expected the sect masters of these two major sects to have such a connection. She had truly been unaware of this matter before.
She then calmly and composedly replied, "No need to thank me. Our meeting is fate."
"Yes, Fairy Luo is right."
Since Xie Jiao'er had just advanced and needed to consolidate her cultivation, Luo Yunshi did not chat with them for long.
After they left, Luo Yunshi touched the token in her hand, then put it into her system backpack, and happily took Dali to eat at the Underwater Labor restaurant.
Throughout the afternoon, many cultivators went to watch movies, attempting to find opportunities for breakthroughs.
The relationships of many people subtly changed because of a movie.
At five in the afternoon, Luo Yunshi directly closed the Good Fortune Come shop.
...
At the same time, Zhao Chang and Xue Mei'er found a spot within the protected area and took out a small wooden house from their storage rings, setting it up nearby.
The two entered the small wooden house and then set up several layers of formations outside to prevent eavesdropping and peeping.
On the wooden bed, Xue Mei'er stroked Zhao Chang's face with one hand and drew circles on his chest with the other, her voice sweet and soft.
"Are you really going tomorrow?"
Zhao Chang played with Xue Mei'er's fingers, nodding. Then, afraid she would be displeased, he lowered his head and kissed her lips, explaining gently.
"If we can establish a connection with that Fairy Luo, it will be of great benefit to both of us.
I don't believe that Fairy Luo is an immortal descended to earth, but her strength should be considerable. You saw her spaceship, right? Our Golden Core cultivation couldn't even discern its level; she must be very powerful.
Mei'er, we've been together since childhood, you know I only love you. I'm only with other women to improve my strength. My feelings for you are genuine, and aren't we improving together by helping each other? If I can dual cultivate with her, it will also benefit you.
Even if I don't dual cultivate with her, being recognized by her would be a good thing. So, Mei'er, tomorrow you just need to watch. I've arranged everything."
So, don't cause trouble for me tomorrow.
"Okay, Brother Zhao, I trust you. What if she doesn't care?" Xue Mei'er worried.
"She will. This is her territory, and the shop rules clearly state no causing trouble. If I tell her that I found a few rogue cultivators in the shop planning to attack customers, she will certainly intervene for the sake of the shop's reputation. Wouldn't that make her have a good impression of me? And I will indeed help her deal with a few rogue cultivators at that time.
Moreover, I have another plan."
"Oh? What plan?" Xue Mei'er's eyes lit up.
"After I gain her favor, I'll have another chance encounter with her and greet her. She will surely recognize me.
Later, if she intervenes when rogue cultivators retaliate against me, she will certainly help. Perhaps she will even feel guilty and offer compensation. At that time, I can naturally use the excuse of repaying her kindness and refusing compensation to become acquainted with her," Zhao Chang's eyes gleamed.
A gentle and harmless appearance, a kind reminder, and then encountering retaliation from rogue cultivators while refusing compensation and reward. Wouldn't anyone develop a good impression?
Thinking of this, Zhao Chang became excited, looking forward to what would happen in the future.
"Brother Zhao Chang is so amazing," Xue Mei'er said, full of admiration.
"Silly Mei'er, let's dual cultivate. The spiritual energy here is abundant and very suitable."
Zhao Chang said this, casting a loving gaze, and the next moment, he flipped over and pressed down on Xue Mei'er.
Pah! I don't believe you for a second. "Only love me." It's hilarious. It's all about mutual benefit. You're a sea king, I'm a sea queen, let's see who plays whom better.
