I Have Refined Qi For 3000 Years!

Book 4: Chapter 16: No Beauty Lasts Forever

Within two steps, the sky dimmed suddenly.

The white jade corridor that Bai Qiuran is on was walking from low to high. It looked like he’s walking from cloud to cloud. Therefore, above him, there were many higher clouds. But at this moment, these clouds gathered towards him, sieged the white jade corridor, and there was a faint muffled thunder sound came.

As Bai Qiuran moved forward, the thunder sound became louder, then a bolt of lightning passed through his head, traversing the two clouds on his left and right.

Bai Qiuran saw the thunder and lightning and calculated its power. It was not ordinary natural thunder and lightning, not even the normal lightning created by spells, but the thunder of Heavenly Tribulation, which specialized in vanquishing the cultivators.

That lightning bolt was like a signal of the beginning. After it, several tribulation lightning bolts passed above Bai Qiuran’s head back and forth. The nearest one was only a dozen meters away from the top of his head, and he could even smell the smell of the air after ionization.

Then there were winds and rains again, countless violent storms, and a little hail during the period, as if to accompany thunder and lightning, and the wind blew back and forth between the two clouds.

And in this violent storm, the first stage of this trial finally revealed its scale claws.

Between the lightning and thunder, a thunderbolt suddenly shot towards Bai Qiuran’s face. He stretched out his hand to pat the electric light away and looked in the direction where the thunderbolt came from, only to see a dark shadow flying through the clouds. It kept circling around him, and then stuck the head out of the clouds in front of him.

That was a huge serpent. The head alone was probably close to ten feet long. The rest of its body was hidden in the clouds, was dimly obscured thus it’s impossible to see the specific size. There were already two bulges above its eye sockets, the sign of the imminent transformation of the dragon. A pair of huge wings stretched out from the clouds, overwhelming the sky, countless electric lights jumping on the azure blue scales, it looked extraordinary. Look. Yarn, Chinese website

This was a strange beast that even Bai Qiuran has never seen before. Maybe it had the bloodline of an Immortal Beast, but its eyes look a little dull, so he doubted that it may not be a living creature.

This winged giant serpent opened its big mouth, and a thunderbolt with the thickness of a bucket spouted from its mouth, shooting at Bai Qiuran with a terrifying power comparable to the full-power blow of a Deity Transformation stage.

With a “clank” sound, the thunderbolt suddenly split into two from the center. Then the serpent’s head was also split into two as if it’s cut off by the invisible sword. The head fell on the white jade corridor, smashing a long section of the handrail, while the remaining of its huge body fell into the clouds and disappeared.

Bai Qiuran threw away the hilt in his hand and walked forward. After its death, the head of the giant snake was slowly turning into light, but this time, when its head dissipated, there was some object fell to the ground and shone.

Bai Qiuran picked one up and found that it was a top-grade spirit stone.

“Wow, this monster can even drop money, awesome!”

Bai Qiuran said in surprise:

“It deserves to be the mansion of the Land Immortals. With such high technology, what will I find out later?”

He thought for a while, collected the spirit stones, and then continued to move forward.

After walking for a few more miles, the altitude of the white jade corridor gradually increased, and the stormy clouds gradually disappeared. After passing through another decorative small gate, Bai Qiuran saw a familiar figure.

The person turned his back to him, standing on a platform in the cloud, dressed in pure white. Although only seeing her from the back, Bai Qiuran also recognized her identity.

Su Xiangxue, or rather, a phantom created with the Su Xiangxue in his memory as a template.

As he approached, the woman turned his head to look at him, her picturesque beauty, with a charming little mole under the corner of his eye, indeed Su Xiangxue’s beautiful face.

It seemed that after the mansion suffered a failure in the [separation from the loved] trial, this time, it directly extracted the most beautiful and aesthetically consistent image of the opposite sex he had seen in his memory, and used it as a trial.

Bai Qiuran and “Su Xiangxue” looked at each other for a while, then he commented:

“Su Xiangxue is much more beautiful than you. Her charm is natural. Compared to her, you are like a mass-produced doll. I give you a 1-star review.”

Of course, only Bai Qiuran could talk that way. Su Xiangxue’s beauty alone, even without the bonus from her technique, was enough to make many unscrupulous cultivators mentally confused, but this mansion has underestimated the three-thousand-year-old legend of loneliness. Bai Qiuran’s old virgin mentality directly shielded Su Xiangxue’s appearance.

Not all women were like Su Xiangxue, but a very few men were like Bai Qiuran.

No matter how he reacted, the “Su Xiangxue” created by the mansion’s formation still followed her established procedures. Seeing Bai Qiuran, she suddenly showed a poignant smile, and then turned to the edge of the platform, looking very distressed.

This scene also touched Bai Qiuran very much. He shouted:

“Wait a minute!”

“Su Xiangxue” ignored him, so Bai Qiuran chased after her, took her arm...then lifted her up.

With a bang, Bai Qiuran kicked “Su Xiangxue” down from the platform without mercy.

“I’m glad to help you.”

Seeing “Su Xiangxue” falling into the clouds, Bai Qiuran, standing on the edge of the platform, said with a smile.

However, neither the real person nor this “Su Xiangxue” was a character who was willing to let go so easily. After being kicked down the cloud by Bai Qiuran, her body suddenly sank, just like a deflated doll, until it became only one piece of human skin and three black holes, flew back to the platform by the wind and then rolled towards Bai Qiuran.

Backhandedly tearing this human skin apart, Bai Qiuran suddenly felt a heartfelt joy when looking at the few shiny high-grade spirit stones falling out of the human skin.

He picked up the high-grade spirit stones on the ground and counted them, and found that the number dropped was much higher than that of the giant snake before.

“It seems that the [five clinging-aggregates] should be the previous seven trials with ready-made entities, and the monsters will drop spirit stones as energy sources, and the monsters that appear in later level will drop more spirit stones.”

Bai Qiuran murmured:

“Huh, in the end, the final trial still depends on whether the fist is hard or not. It makes sense, no matter how high the level of cultivation is, no matter how good the understanding is, if you don’t have the strength to resist the Heavenly Tribulation, you will still fall in the last level. But...I care about another thing. How many spirit stones will be dropped in this trial?”

He collected the spirit stones, then took out a new iron sword from his storage bag, and flew towards the upper level of the corridor.
