Tian Xiaoding rescued Ah Li from the ruins of Shenlong Island. Because Fei Lian killed her parents, Ah Li hated Fei Lian so much that she not only chopped up Fei Lian's snake body with the dagger she picked up, but also swallowed Fei Lian's demon elixir alive. Inside.
However, the demon pill of the ninth-level demon beast cannot be swallowed casually.
This demon pill contains huge energy, which needs to be refined and absorbed by Ahri as soon as possible. Otherwise, her body will be exploded by the energy of the demon pill.
Xiao Ding used his skills to help Ahri refine the demon pill. Seeing that Ahri had faint signs of a breakthrough, he couldn't help but feel a little worried about Ahri.
Ahri was imprisoned in a dungeon without water, and then the dungeon collapsed and injured her in many places. When she was rescued, she heard that her parents had passed away and she was extremely sad. Therefore, her body was very weak at the moment.
She is at the fifth level of perfect cultivation at the moment. If she is promoted to the sixth level, it will be equivalent to a human monk advancing to the golden elixir stage, and the elixir will be formed in the body.
Moreover, while advancing, she also needs to survive the thunder tribulation.
Yes, that's right, whether it's a human or a beast, advancing requires going through thunder tribulations. Human monks start from the foundation building stage, and beasts start from the fourth level. Every time they advance to a major realm, there will be corresponding thunder disasters.
This is because the path of cultivation goes against nature. Once humans or beasts enter the foundation building stage or the corresponding level, it means that they have entered the threshold of cultivation and truly embarked on the road of cultivation. This is for God. It is not allowed. Birth, aging, illness and death are the laws of the mortal world. If you violate this law, it is against heaven. Therefore, the old genius will send down the thunder calamity when the cultivator is advancing to prevent the cultivator from advancing.
Regardless of whether they are humans or beasts, if they want to continue practicing, they must survive the thunder tribulation, otherwise they will be struck to death by lightning when they advance.
Xiao Ding remembered that the previous owner of his Qiankun Pot, who was also the founder of "Heart Melting Technique" - Taiwu Zhenren, was disturbed by inner demons when he entered into the virtual fairyland. After passing through the thunder tribulation, he eventually died of autistic closure of his meridians.
Therefore, cultivators usually make sufficient preparations before advancing, and generally choose to advance when they are in the best condition in all aspects.
However, Ahri's physical condition at the moment was obviously not in the best condition. Obviously, when she swallowed Fei Lian's demon pill, she just hated Fei Lian and did not consider that she would advance after taking the demon pill.
But Xiao Ding was currently facing Ahri's palms with his palms, helping her refine the energy of the demon pill. He soon discovered that the energy absorbed in Ahri's body was impacting the barrier of her advancement.
Ahri's promotion from the fifth level to the sixth level is equivalent to the advancement of a human monk from the foundation building stage to the golden elixir stage, which requires eighteen thunder tribulations.
Regardless of whether they are humans or beasts, every time they advance to a higher realm, the number of thunder tribulations they endure is a multiple of nine. For example: the minimum number of thunder tribulations endured when building a foundation is nine; when building a foundation and advancing to the golden elixir, Eighteen paths; the golden elixir is promoted to the Yuanying, the twenty-seventh path; the Yuanying is promoted to the virtual god, the thirty-sixth path... By analogy, to transform into the real person and advance to the virtual immortal, you need to withstand ninety-nine and eighty-one thunder tribulations .
However, when cultivators advance to a thunder tribulation, whether they are humans or beasts, they cannot find others to help share the thunder tribulation. They can only bear it themselves, otherwise they will not be able to advance successfully. If you are a monk who has already formed an elixir, if you fail to advance, the inner elixir in your body may be damaged, which can be life-threatening.
Even if the inner elixir is not damaged by the thunder tribulation, it is still a tragic thing for the physical body to be damaged. Xiao Ding felt that Ah Li's current physical condition would most likely not be able to withstand the eighteen thunder tribulations. If Ahri's body couldn't withstand these thunderstorms and was damaged, she wouldn't be able to survive either.
Seeing that Ahri was about to advance, Xiao Ding naturally couldn't sit idly by. Although he couldn't help Ahri withstand the thunder tribulation, he still had to find a way to minimize the damage caused by the thunder tribulation to Ahri.
At this moment, Xiao Ding has discovered that in the sky above Ahri's head, the spiritual energy has gathered into a vortex, spinning at high speed above Ahri's head, with faint thunder and lightning shining in it.
If we don't make preparations, I'm afraid it will be too late. Xiao Ding immediately withdrew his palms, then he randomly found three high-level magic weapons from his jade pendant space, threw them in front of Ahri, and conveniently put an armor magic weapon on Ahri's body.
Then he quickly took out the formation flag and set up a thunder-resistant formation around Ah Li.
Just in case, he then set up a mine-inducing array and a mine-storage array next to the mine-resistant array.
The anti-thunder formation is a formation specially used to defend against thunder attacks. Xiao Ding doesn't know whether it is effective to use this formation to resist thunder tribulation.
However, the lightning induction array and the mine storage array can guide lightning into the mine storage array and store it temporarily. In this way, multiple lightning tribulations will not hit Ahri at the same time. When Ahri is almost recovered, Xiaoding can guide the thunder storage array to release part of the thunder and lightning to attack Ahri.
Just when Xiao Ding had just finished preparing these things, there was a sudden "boom" of thunder in the sky, and three thunderbolts as thick as a thumb fell from the spiritual vortex in the air, hitting Ahri without any deviation. .
The high-level magic weapon armor worn by Ahri was immediately shattered by lightning. Ahri's body also trembled for a while, and even her hair stood on end.
A burning smell passed into Xiao Ding's nose.
For the first three thunder tribulations, Xiao Ding did not activate the formation to hinder them. He knew that Ahri had to resist the first three thunders. If she couldn't even block these three thunders, it would be difficult for her to advance successfully.
Fortunately, Ahri was able to catch the first three lightning bolts under the protection of his armor. At present, her hair is only a little burnt, but the rest is not serious.
Next, Ah Li sacrificed the other two high-level magic weapons that Xiao Ding had thrown in front of her in mid-air to withstand the next wave of thunder.
Xiao Ding's three magic weapons were all obtained from the ring of a seventh-level monster he had snatched from Wenxinhai. At that time, there was a conflict between the seventh-level monster and a human monk because the deal failed. Xiaoding took advantage of the situation and snatched the half-severed arm of the seventh-level monster, and this ring was there. On the fingers of the broken arm.
However, there are very few magic weapons in this ring, but there are many magic weapon-level weapons, and there are still restrictions on it that have not been erased. Just like the dragon crystal ring that Xiao Ding found in the Dragon Palace, most of it contained high-level treasures, and there were very few that Ahri could use at this stage.
Fortunately, Xiao Ding had long erased the restrictions on these three high-level magic weapons, and Ahri could take them and use them at will.
The second wave of thunder tribulation seemed to be slower than the first wave, brewing in the air for about a stick of incense. Just when Xiao Ding thought that this thunder tribulation would brew for a while, three thunder rays were two times thicker than a thumb. Just fell down.
In an instant, the two high-level magic weapons Ahri had just sacrificed in the air fell to pieces and fell apart. Although the two magic weapons withstood most of the lightning power, a small amount of lightning still hit Ahri's body, and all her clothes immediately shattered and flew into pieces.
Immediately, Ah Li's enchanting naked body appeared in front of Xiao Ding.
At the same time, a stronger burnt smell also reached Little Ding's nose. He saw that all the hair on Ah Li's body was burnt, even his eyebrows were not spared.
Because of being struck by lightning, Ahri's body trembled for a while, and then finally stopped.
Xiao Ding felt a little worried when he saw the power of Thunder Tribulation. He quickly took out a bottle of Huiyuan Pill and threw it in front of Ah Li, and said: "Ari, take a few Huiyuan Pills first to restore your condition."
Ah Li no longer cared about her nakedness at this moment. She took Xiao Ding's Yuan Hui Dan and quickly took two pills and swallowed them.
This time, she no longer had any magic weapon to use to resist the thunder. So, she raised her head and roared twice at the vortex in the air, and then her body immediately deformed.
Xiao Ding could see clearly from the side that Ah Li's originally fair and round body suddenly turned into a fox with white fur.
The white fox Ari, who had revealed his true form, looked up to the sky and howled a few times, then continued to run his skills and wait for the next wave of thunder.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the third wave of lightning disaster to fall.
Three thunderbolts, several times thicker than the previous one, fell from the sky. Xiao Ding felt that Ahri's transformed body seemed to be stronger than the human body. He estimated that she could withstand this wave of lightning disaster, so he still did not activate the formation.
After all, there are still nine thunder tribulations behind him. His anti-thunder formation, thunder inducing formation and thunder storage formation cannot easily interfere with Ahri's tribulation unless it is absolutely necessary.
What if Ahri fails to overcome the tribulation because of his interference?
What's more, the lightning storage array he temporarily set up cannot store much lightning. It is estimated that it will be full after one use. If it is used in advance, what will happen to the subsequent thunder disasters.
The third wave of three thunderbolts, without the obstruction of the magic weapon, all hit Ahri, who had transformed into a white fox.
Ah Li's flawless white, silk-like fur was instantly torn apart by the three lightning bolts, and her hair was charred black.
Ahri transformed from a fox into a human form in an instant. What Xiao Ding saw was that there were cracks in the flesh of Ahri's body. There were countless wounds all over the body, and the skin and flesh were turned out, and they were all bleeding.
Before the fourth wave of lightning disaster came, Xiao Ding quickly stepped forward, grabbed Ah Li's wrist, and used his kung fu to repair her injury.
Ah Li groaned in pain. Seeing Xiao Ding approaching, she said weakly: "Brother Tian, I'm dying..."
Xiao Ding quickly encouraged her and said, "Ahri, this is the end of the matter. You must persevere. You have already withstood half of the thunder tribulation. If you grit your teeth, you can survive the rest of the thunder tribulation."
Fortunately, with Xiao Ding's help, although he could not repair all of Ah Li's injuries, he was able to stop her bleeding.
Looking at Ahri's weak body, Xiao Ding thought to himself, how can Ahri survive the remaining nine thunder tribulations?
If he could bear the rest of the thunder disaster for Ahri, he would naturally be obliged to do so.
However, promotion is something that cannot be replaced by outsiders at will.
When Xiao Ding was healing Ahri, he had discovered that the energy of the demon pills she had absorbed in Ahri's dantian was working hard to condense into a spiritual pill. However, only half of it was formed now. The appearance of a panacea.
Seeing that Ahri's physical injuries had improved slightly, Xiao Ding immediately let go of Ahri's arm, jumped aside, and said to her: "Ahri, don't be afraid, Brother Tian is still here."
After about another stick of incense, the fourth wave of thunder tribulation finally arrived.
"Rumble", the three thunder and lightning this time were two or three times thicker than the previous wave of thunder and lightning.
Xiao Ding knew that with Ah Li's scarred body now, he would definitely not be able to withstand this wave of thunder. So he decisively activated the anti-thunder formation.
"Crack, click..."
Three thunderbolts in the air were the first to hit the anti-thunder formation. The anti-thunder formation immediately shattered with a "click" and could no longer be used.
The remaining power of thunder and lightning still fell on Ahri's body. The skin that had been broken before cracked open again, and blood flowed all over her body again.
Before Xiao Ding could step forward to help Ah Li heal his injuries, suddenly the spiritual energy vortex in the sky flashed several times in succession, followed by the fifth wave of thunder disaster.
This time there is no time to breathe at all!
Moreover, this time there were not just three thunderbolts, but the remaining six thunderbolts landed together. The thickness of the thunderbolts was more than twice as thick as the previous wave of thunderbolts, almost as thick as a baby's wrist.
Such a powerful thunder tribulation is simply killing people!
Xiao Ding was shocked and immediately activated the mine-inducing array and the mine-storage array decisively. At this moment, Xiao Ding didn't care whether Ahri could advance successfully. If your life is almost gone, who wants to think about whether the promotion is successful?
Under the action of the thunder array, five of the six thunderbolts that landed in the air were guided into the mine storage array by Xiao Ding.
Only when the sixth thunder and lightning landed, the thunder storage array was full and could no longer accept thunder and lightning.
Then, the last bolt of lightning struck Ahri's head. Ah Li immediately twitched all over and fell to the ground. The wounds on his body were bleeding profusely.
Xiao Ding hurriedly stepped forward and saw that Ah Li had passed out even though his body was still twitching.
Grabbing Ahri's wrist, Xiao Ding didn't dare to neglect, and quickly mobilized his spiritual power to help Ahri heal his injuries.
Fortunately, Xiao Ding is now at the 21st level of Qi training and has abundant spiritual power in his body. It is extremely easy to heal his injuries.
It only took a quarter of an hour for Ah Li's injuries to be completely healed. At the same time, she also woke up.
Opening his eyes and seeing Xiao Ding healing himself, Ah Li asked weakly: "Brother Tian, is the thunder tribulation over?"
Xiao Ding could feel at this moment that the elixir in Ah Li's dantian had not yet completely formed. This may be because she had not yet endured all the thunder disasters.
At this moment, the vortex of spiritual energy gathering above Ah Li in the sky has not dissipated, and it seems that something is still brewing.
Xiao Ding was worried that there would be more thunder and lightning in the sky, so he quickly said: "Ali, you still have five thunder tribulations to go. I temporarily stored those five thunder and lightning in the thunder storage array. Later, when your health is better, I Then slowly release it to you, you have to bear it carefully."
Ahri's face immediately wrinkled when she heard that there was another thunder tribulation. She complained in anguish, "Why is there still another one?"
Xiao Ding pointed to the sky and said: "Look, the whirlpool in the sky has not dispersed yet. I estimate that if I don't release the thunder and lightning for you, there will be thunder and lightning from the sky. You will definitely have to endure it for eighteen years." Just use thunder and lightning."
Ahri pursed his lips and looked like he was about to cry. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try my best."
After hearing Ahri's promise, Xiao Ding quickly came to the thunder storage array. Then, he guided the thunder storage array and released a bolt of lightning that hit Ahri.
Although Ah Li had already run her skills and was ready, her body was already very weak at this time. Although her injuries had been treated by Xiao Ding, it was still a lightning strike.
She was hit again and twitched all over, the old wounds on the surface of her body burst again, and blood flowed all over her body.
