Primordial Era: Becoming Laozi's Disciple, I Forge Mythical Golden Elixirs

The Two Sages of the West, Di Jun, and other powerful beings withdrew their divine senses upon seeing this.

Laozi was pleased to see Luo Xuan being so sensible.

He stroked his beard and said, "Luo Xuan, I observed that you didn't face any lightning punishment during your tribulation. How can this be?"

"You should know that using lightning magic to counter the lightning tribulation can make things much easier."

"Don't just focus on alchemy every day. I will teach you the Taiqing Divine Lightning. Practice it diligently from now on."

Laozi reprimanded Luo Xuan on the surface, but his tone was filled with affection.

"Thank you, Master." Luo Xuan's eyes lit up with joy.

After a brief exchange, Laozi and Nuwa turned into rainbows and flew away.

Only then did Luo Xuan return to Shouyang Mountain.

"Thank you, Old Ancestor. Thank you, everyone." Luo Xuan said sincerely.

Suiren Shi patted Luo Xuan's shoulder. "It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."

Seeing Luo Xuan safe and sound made Suiren Shi happier than ever.

Suddenly, a deep, gruff voice echoed from afar.

"Where is the lightning tribulation!"

Zhu Rong manifested his Ancestor Witch true form and looked around, but there was no sign of the great lightning tribulation.

The other Ancestor Witches appeared, following closely behind Zhu Rong.

Qiangliang, the Thunder Ancestor Witch, scratched his head. "Strange, did we come to the wrong place?"

As they spoke, they saw Luo Xuan's figure flying towards them.

Upon seeing the Twelve Ancestor Witches, Luo Xuan guessed their purpose for coming.

He smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you, Ancestor Witches, for coming. However, the lightning tribulation has already passed."

"Is that so?"

Di Jiang and the others looked regretful, which made Luo Xuan's expression turn awkward.

He even suspected if the Ancestor Witches had come to help him or not.

Hou Tu also sighed at Luo Xuan's power.

Then she smiled and said, "It's fine. Didn't you say earlier that the Demon Race would come? We've arranged for people to be here."

Mentioning this topic, Zhu Rong's regret vanished, and he looked at Luo Xuan.

However, Qiangliang beat him to it.

"Right, Little Brother Luo, I'll go first this time!"

"Me too! Little Brother Luo, let me tell you, if the Demon Race doesn't show up, I'll have a good spar with you... no, settle the score!"

Xi Zi, the Lightning Ancestor Witch, chimed in.

Seeing the two of them so excited, Luo Xuan felt a little intimidated.

Are you guys not here to help the Human Race? Are you spies sent by the Demon Race?

"Please make yourselves at home, Ancestor Witches. I have gained some insights after enduring the lightning tribulation and plan to go into seclusion for a while."

With that, Luo Xuan disappeared from his original spot.

Seeing Luo Xuan leave, Hou Tu said reproachfully, "Can't you guys speak properly? If you can't, just shut up."

Zhu Rong also roared, "Exactly! Didn't we agree that you two wouldn't be involved this time?"

Qiangliang looked a little wronged. "It's not my fault. This time, I felt a very familiar sensation from Luo Xuan's body, just like my own lightning laws."

"Yes, my electric laws were also stirring," Xi Zi complained.

Their feelings were correct.

After using the lightning tribulation as a cauldron, thanks to the miraculous nature of the Primordial Pill Body, Luo Xuan successfully integrated the lightning within himself.

However, the lightning laws within the tribulation were too powerful, and Luo Xuan couldn't fully control them.

It was for this reason that Luo Xuan was overjoyed when Laozi bestowed the Taiqing Divine Lightning upon him.

Having just left the Ancestor Witches, Luo Xuan returned to his room and began his seclusion.

This seclusion lasted for more than ten years.

Not far from Shouyang Mountain.

The lush forest that was once there had long been cleared, now transformed into medicinal fields for the Human Race.

A burly man carried a bamboo basket back to Shouyang Mountain from the medicinal fields.

A teenager, about ten years old, followed beside him.

"Daddy, do you think the Pill Ancestor is still here?"

As he spoke, the young man looked up at the dome of Shouyang Mountain.

The burly man chuckled and said, "They are, they definitely still are."

The young man asked, "Then why haven't I seen any activity for so long?"

The burly man fell silent.

Since Luo Xuan went into seclusion, he had been cultivating lightning magic and refining the lightning within his body.

However, he would occasionally refine pills, with activity only occurring every few years.

As they conversed, the two gradually walked away.

From the grass they had just passed, a rustling sound could be heard.

A centipede demon, as large as a python, emerged.

It looked in the direction the two had gone, a human-like sinister smile on its face.

"It's been over a decade, and there must not be any powerful beings in the Primordial Era paying attention to the Human Race anymore."

"After waiting so long, I can finally taste human flesh."

As the words fell, the centipede demon transformed into a black shadow and sped towards Shouyang Mountain. Chapter 51: The Centipede Demon

The centipede demon followed the father and son all the way to Shouyang Mountain.

The centipede demon hid in the eaves of the wall, its dark body blending perfectly with its surroundings.

The centipede demon dripped a drop of dark green liquid into a clay pot.

"Drink up. Once you're poisoned by me, you're as good as dead."

The centipede demon thought gleefully.

When he saw the young man drink the water from the clay pot, he watched him excitedly.

But after waiting for a long time, the young man showed no reaction.

"Strange, my poison has been refined with my essence blood for a thousand years. How can a mere human withstand it?"

The centipede demon refused to believe it and kept a close watch on the young man's movements.

It wasn't until midnight that the young man finally showed signs of abnormality.

His body was burning hot, and his consciousness was hazy.

The centipede demon cackled sinisterly.

"I knew it. Mere humans are just food for us. How could they possibly resist?"

Just as the centipede demon was about to leave and poison all the humans, the young man's parents discovered his condition.

To his surprise, they took out a bottle of pills and fed them to the young man.

Before long, the young man returned to normal.

"How is this possible?"

The centipede demon was greatly alarmed. It stretched its head out and only then realized that the jade bottle contained a Six Revolutions pill.

"Damn humans!"

Just then, the young man opened his eyes and was suddenly stunned.

He pointed at the roof, "What a big centipede."

The young man's parents looked up and indeed saw a python-sized centipede stuck to the roof, staring directly at them.

If the young man hadn't seen it, they wouldn't have noticed.

"A demon race?"

Before the centipede demon could even stir up its ferocity, it saw that these two humans were not only unafraid but were looking at it with shining eyes.

Why do they look like they want to eat me?

The centipede demon was startled by their abnormal reaction.

"Quick, someone! There's a demon!" the woman shouted.

"Where is it? Where's the demon?"

"Nobody move, this demon is mine!"

"You wish! Whoever kills it gets it!"

Shouyang Mountain immediately erupted.

The centipede demon was startled by the aggressive momentum and quickly fled.

But it only realized what had happened after it had run for two miles.
