When the Shouyang Mountain bloomed with colorful clouds, it immediately attracted the attention of the Winged Serpents.
What an incredible power! The human race must have refined an ultimate-grade elixir!
The Winged Serpents stared at Shouyang Mountain, their eyes going wide.
When he saw a radiance shoot into the sky, he could no longer restrain the greed in his heart.
He let out a hiss. All the Winged Serpents raised their heads, flapped their translucent wings, and flew after their leader.
When Suiren Shi saw the group of arm-thick Winged Serpents, he chuckled.
"I've hunted you down several times. I never thought you'd come running out on your own this time."
As he spoke, Suiren Shi headed toward the swarm of Winged Serpents.
That human who could release fire?
The Winged Serpent leader immediately recognized Suiren Shi. However, he saw that Suiren Shi had not released Suiren Fire this time and was instead charging straight at him alone.
The Winged Serpent leader was overjoyed. He actually wants to compete with Lord Winged Serpent in physical strength? He's courting death!
The Winged Serpent leader did not hesitate and bit down at Suiren Shi's incoming fist.
However, after taking that bite, the Winged Serpent leader nearly shattered all his teeth.
What was going on?
The Winged Serpent leader was in so much pain that tears nearly fell from his eyes.
Suiren Shi burst into laughter and tore apart more than a dozen Winged Serpents with his bare hands in moments.
Only then did the Winged Serpent leader realize that something was wrong and try to lead the Winged Serpents away.
But Suiren Shi would not give them the chance. Roaring Suiren Fire surged out and instantly surrounded them.
As Suiren Shi fought the Winged Serpents, he became increasingly adept at using his tempered body and gained an even deeper understanding of it.
"Was the Ancestor's physical body really this powerful before?"
"I don't know, but the Ancestor used Sacred Fire to deal with those Winged Serpents before."
"This time, the Ancestor only used Sacred Fire to surround them. What else could it be? He must have grown stronger!"
All the humans were invigorated when they saw this scene.
However, no one noticed that the sky was gradually darkening. Dark clouds slowly gathered above Suiren Shi.
When the Winged Serpents had been slaughtered and scattered, lightning flashed across the heavens.
"Rumble!"
The muffled thunder finally drew the humans' attention.
"A tribulation! It's a lightning tribulation!"
"He only tempered his physical body, yet the Ancestor actually broke through!"
Suiren Shi looked up. His comprehension of the physical body had also reached its conclusion.
"Good! Bring it on!"
Suiren Shi laughed twice and flew toward the sky.
"Boom!"
It seemed that Suiren Shi's actions had angered the heavens.
A bolt of lightning as thick as a barrel descended and struck Suiren Shi.
However, the lightning only made Suiren Shi's body pause for a moment.
He touched the spot where the lightning had struck and chuckled.
"That's it?"
The moment he finished speaking, fierce winds howled and thunder roared.
This was the first time Luo Xuan had seen a human undergo a lightning tribulation. He watched Suiren Shi with great interest.
The others, however, were trembling with fear. Some even covered their eyes.
The lightning tribulation was already their nightmare. Every human who underwent a tribulation prepared a large number of elixirs and magical artifacts.
Yet in the end, fewer than one in ten survived.
Now, Suiren Shi was facing the lightning tribulation without any preparation. Many people had already begun mourning him in their hearts.
But Suiren Shi relied on his physical body to withstand the lightning again and again.
When the final bolt of lightning descended, a horrifying wound split open across his chest, and Suiren Shi could not help groaning.
"The Ancestor survived?"
"The Ancestor actually endured the lightning tribulation with his physical body!"
Everyone cried out in astonishment, and then uncontrollable excitement surged through them.
I Came Back Too Late
"Humanity finally has a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!"
Everyone could not help cheering.
Because Luo Xuan had advanced to Grand Unity Golden Immortal in Kunlun Mountain, he was still a Golden Immortal in everyone's eyes.
Luo Xuan watched as the wound on Suiren Shi's body recovered at a visible speed, and he was delighted as well.
[The host has successfully tempered a Golden Elixir once.] [Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Divine Ability: Scatter Beans to Soldiers.]
Luo Xuan: "!!!"
"Damn, that works too?"
As the system notification sounded, Luo Xuan suddenly felt that the surrounding clansmen seemed especially dear to him.
They were all system rewards!
When Suiren Shi returned after stabilizing his cultivation, he laughed and patted Luo Xuan on the shoulder.
"Luo Xuan, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, I don't know how many members of our human race would have been lost while cultivating this Golden Elixir method."
"Master Xuan traveled countless miles back to the human race from Kunlun just because you were thinking of us all this time!"
"I was already at the peak of the True Immortal realm. Without Master Xuan, I don't know how much longer it would have taken me to gain the confidence to undergo the lightning tribulation."
"Same here. I've been stuck at the peak of the Profound Immortal realm, but I could never gather enough magical artifacts and elixirs for the tribulation. With Master Xuan here, I'm safe this time!"
Everyone looked at Luo Xuan excitedly.
It was as if Luo Xuan were a clear spring in the desert, bringing them miracles time and again.
Luo Xuan coughed, and everyone immediately fell silent.
Luo Xuan covered his chest with one hand and said with deep regret, "My fellow clansmen, I came back too late."
"If anyone still doesn't quite understand this method, come find me."
"If anyone lacks confidence or feels they might make mistakes while cultivating, you can come to me as well."
After Luo Xuan finished speaking, the scene fell silent. Some people could hardly believe it.
They had originally thought that Luo Xuan had helped Suiren Shi temper his physical body merely as a demonstration.
They had never expected that they would have a chance too!
Seeing everyone remain silent, Luo Xuan casually pointed at someone. It was the early-stage Golden Immortal whom Luo Xuan had just told to attack with all his strength.
"You. After I rest for a night, I'll help you temper your physical body tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Jin Tuo immediately knelt down in excitement and shouted, "Thank you, Master Xuan!"
"From now on, no matter what Master Xuan commands, Jin Tuo will not refuse!"
When Jin Tuo knelt, the cheers around them became even more fervent than when Suiren Shi had successfully survived the tribulation.
Over the next few days, Luo Xuan began his hard work.
[The host has successfully tempered a Golden Elixir once.] [The host has successfully tempered a Golden Elixir ten times in total.] [Congratulations, host. You have obtained one ton of Sun Crystal Essence.] [The host has successfully tempered a Golden Elixir once.] [The host has successfully tempered a Golden Elixir once.] [The host has successfully tempered a Golden Elixir one hundred times in total.] [Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus.]
Luo Xuan discovered that the rewards for helping the human race temper their physical bodies varied as well.
The higher their cultivation realm, the better the rewards after tempering their bodies.
Conversely, the lower the realm, the worse the rewards.
If he used the time spent helping others temper their bodies to refine elixirs, the rewards he obtained would be much better.
However, tempering physical bodies also came with achievement-like rewards. Ten times, one hundred times, and one thousand times could all let Luo Xuan reap enormous gains.
In just a few days, Luo Xuan had obtained a bumper harvest of rewards.
This body-tempering method consumed quite a bit of Nascent Soul energy, Immortal Power, and spiritual roots, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures, but the entire human race still rushed toward it eagerly.
