In the Grand Purity Palace on Kunlun Mountain, Taishang's brow furrowed involuntarily as the sounds of screams reached his ears!
Taishang had originally thought Baiyao would cultivate the Grand Purity Creation Scripture for some time before delving into the Grand Purity Thunder Technique and the body refinement art. He hadn't expected Baiyao to have already started body refinement!
Hearing Baiyao's wailing, Taishang felt an immediate annoyance. He casually cast a spell towards the bamboo forest where Baiyao was, isolating the screams within the bamboo grove!
Taishang pondered for a moment, then sent a telepathic message to Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, who were in the medicinal field:
"Jin Jiao, Yin Jiao, go to the medicinal field and gather three Dragon Bone Grasses, two Snow Rock Flowers, four Black Underworld Fruits, and one Iron Bone Grass. Bring them to me!"
In the bamboo forest, Baiyao was bathing naked in the lightning, letting out a scream with every bolt that struck him!
Hearing Taishang's voice, Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao immediately entered the medicinal field to search for the spiritual herbs Taishang required!
After gathering the herbs Taishang needed, they headed towards the Grand Purity Palace!
Upon arriving at the Grand Purity Palace, they noticed the bamboo forest that had suddenly appeared beside it. Jin Jiao turned to Yin Jiao:
"Younger Brother, when did a bamboo forest appear next to the Master's Grand Purity Palace? Didn't I remember this bamboo forest being on the peak with that idiot?"
Yin Jiao scratched his head. "I remember it that way too. Perhaps the Elder Brother also likes bamboo, just like that idiot!"
Jin Jiao nodded, thinking it was as Yin Jiao had said, and the two entered the Grand Purity Palace together!
Inside the Grand Purity Palace, Taishang looked at Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao who had arrived. He took the spiritual herbs from their hands and then imparted the Grand Purity Thunder Technique to them as well!
"Study this Grand Purity Thunder Technique diligently. Work together with Baiyao to cultivate that body refinement technique!"
Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao had not yet emerged from the joy of receiving Taishang's teachings when they heard him instructing them to assist Baiyao in his cultivation!
"Master, who is Baiyao? Where is he?"
Taishang also realized that Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao had been in the medicinal field all this time, while Baiyao had either been in his Grand Purity Palace or the bamboo forest, and they hadn't met!
"I'll tell you who Baiyao is later. For now, you brothers should go down the mountain and find a pine tree, a very large one. Hollow it out, so that a person can bathe inside!"
Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao heard this and wondered what their Master wanted such a thing for. Fortunately, there were not many towering trees on Kunlun Mountain, so it wouldn't take much searching!
Taishang watched them leave, then added with lingering concern:
"It must be a pine tree. No other trees will do!"
"Master, rest assured, we understand!"
Seeing the two depart, Taishang rose and headed towards the Alchemy Hall!
In the Alchemy Hall, Taishang tossed the spiritual herbs brought back by Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao into the hall. He then ignited the Six Ding Divine Fire and began alchemy!
As the Six Ding Divine Fire rose, Taishang saw that the heat was just right. He made a few hand seals towards the alchemy furnace. Soon, nine green pills flew out of the furnace!
Taishang beckoned and gathered the nine pills into his palm, then returned to the main hall!
In the bamboo forest, Baiyao felt his entire body go numb. He immediately formed a hand seal and directed it towards the sky, but his body was filled with lightning, and he failed several times!
Instead, several thick bolts of lightning struck towards him!
"Master! Master! I'm going to die! I'm going to die! Hurry and help me!"
Taishang sensed Baiyao's situation and appeared beside him!
"Master, you're here. I can't control this thunder technique!"
Taishang looked at Baiyao, who was scorched black like a piece of coal, and rolled his eyes for no reason!
Especially when Taishang discovered that the Grand Purity Divine Thunder summoned by Baiyao contained no trace of thunder intent, Taishang's face immediately darkened!
"When you go out, don't say I taught you this thunder technique. You'll disgrace the Grand Purity Thunder Technique's reputation! Your lightning has no thunder intent at all. How dare you call it Grand Purity Divine Thunder? You're not even worthy of the basics!"
Taishang had heard Baiyao's wailing earlier and assumed his thunder technique had reached the introductory level, so he had ignored him!
Baiyao listened to Taishang's words and said in disbelief, "Master, this lightning hurts when it strikes people! How can I not have made any progress?" Su Dan Novel Network
Seeing that this boy had never experienced the true Grand Purity Divine Thunder, Taishang began to form hand seals with one hand.
As Taishang completed his movements, the thunderclouds above expanded several times. Then, a bolt of lightning struck towards Baiyao!
Baiyao saw a faint golden light flickering within the lightning and suddenly had a bad premonition!
"Calm your mind and feel it carefully!"
Baiyao heard Taishang's reminder and dared not be distracted. As the lightning struck his body, Baiyao immediately let out a scream!
Taishang looked at the lightning, which had only just managed to enter the introductory level, and Baiyao couldn't endure it. He dispersed the thunderclouds in the sky!
Taishang looked at Baiyao, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog. He couldn't believe that after just one bolt of lightning, the boy was breathing his last. He shook his head helplessly!
"You were born with a body that can withstand blows, yet you are so weak. You can't even withstand a mere bolt of lightning!"
Baiyao saw that Taishang still had the energy to criticize him and said weakly, "Master, you were too harsh!"
Taishang shook his head, sighed, and carried Baiyao back to the main hall of the Grand Purity Palace to await Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao!
Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao had only just left the Kunlun Mountain gate when they saw a giant pine tree. Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao held hands and tried to lift the tree, but found they couldn't encircle it even with their hands joined!
Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao exchanged glances. The size of this tree was more than sufficient, so they cut it down!
Just as the giant pine tree fell, and Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao were about to step forward to retrieve it, two small squirrels, one black and one white, suddenly ran out from a branch of the giant tree!
The two little creatures looked at the fallen tree and then at Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao. They immediately raised their front paws and chattered incessantly at them!
Seeing this, Jin Jiao looked sheepishly at Yin Jiao:
"Younger Brother, I think we've destroyed their home?"
Yin Jiao scratched his head and said to Jin Jiao, "Brother, they won't be scolding us, will they? Looking at them, it's probably quite harsh!"
Jin Jiao looked at the two little creatures chattering at them and immediately said to Yin Jiao, "Younger Brother, why don't we take them back to the medicinal field? There are so many fruit trees there, they can find a place to settle down!"
Yin Jiao's eyes lit up at the suggestion, then he said worriedly, "But won't the Master blame us if he finds out?"
"He won't, as long as the Master doesn't find out!"
Yin Jiao immediately nodded. While the two little creatures were chattering at them, he picked one up in each hand, took out a rope, and tied them up!
