Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

225 10,000

There was such a strange scene on the streets of the county town. A group of law-enforcement officers and a young girl stood in front of the shop, watching the owner inside writing the numbers.

“9,994… 9,995…” the owner mumbled as he wrote.

Dong Xi looked at how much effort the boss was putting in and wished she could teach all the mathematics knowledge she had learned in her previous life to guy. This way, it would be faster.

Slowly, the number reached 9,999 again. The owner’s mood fluctuations were very obvious. Every number he wrote seemed to use all his strength, and he was on the verge of going berserk.

!!

Dong Xi immediately reacted and jumped onto the counter. He held the owner’s hand and used all her strength to make the owner write numbers on the jade slip.

‘1,000.’

“Bang!”

The powerful spirit energy wave knocked Dong Xi over, and the tables and chairs in the room were in a mess.

Fortunately, the law-enforcement officers had already made preparations and set up an array around the shop, which gave the other onlookers a chance to escape.

Dong Xi supported herself against the wall and stood up shakily. All the panic and anxiety on the owner’s face had disappeared.

The boss sat down cross-legged and returned to his cold appearance, but he seemed more transparent than before.

The owner was about to advance.

Such a thought suddenly appeared in Dong Xi’s mind. She subconsciously sat cross-legged on the ground and began to comprehend. The temperature around Dong Xi dropped bit by bit.

Dong Xi had just entered a meditative state when a force instantly blew him out of the room. This time, Dong Xi flew very far away.

However, when she landed, it was very gentle. Dong Xi was jolted awake and looked at the elders who were rushing over as well as the Tribulation Lightning that was faintly gathering in the sky.

Dong Xi immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. From this situation, the Lightning Tribulation should be from the Golden Core to the Nascent Soul stage? Fortunately, Dong Xi had been rescued. If she was still inside, she would probably be reborn again after the first Lightning Tribulation. However, a person with late Golden Core cultivation was trapped by mere numbers? And it even became a Mental Demon? Dong Xi could not figure it out no matter how hard she tried.

However, Dong Xi thought of her inner demon, who had also solved hundreds of math problems. It was normal for her to be trapped by numbers. It was reasonable for it to exist. This was very reasonable.

The clouds of Tribulation Lightning in the sky grew thicker and thicker, and there were even faint electric arcs. This was the first time Dong Xi had seen Tribulation Lightning.

Previously, Dong Xi had seen thunder and lightning, but it had not been so loud. Dong Xi couldn oot help but wonder if the owner could really withstand it.

While Dong Xi was thinking, Hong Wei flew out of the shop and faced the Lightning Tribulation.

The ice sword in Hong Wei’s hand flashed with white light. The lightning in the air seemed to be provoked and the power that had been accumulated for a long time was finally used.

Hong Wei took out a bronze mirror from his storage ring, which should be a defensive magic weapon.

However, a bolt of lightning struck down and the magical weapon shattered. Hong Wei took out a black banner again.

Dong Xi watched as Hong Wei took out one treasure after another to resist the lightning tribulation. Dong Xi felt her heart ache.

So many treasures had been destroyed! Her heart ached! Even though it was not something that Dong Xi possessed, she still felt heartache. This was a waste of a treasure!

Dong Xi could not help but think that no matter how powerful the Lightning Tribulation was, it was still lightning. Lightning was produced in the clouds where the convection current was strong. Above the clouds was. positive charge, and below was a negative charge, so the middle of the clouds became a potential difference. When the potential difference reached a certain level, it would produce lightning…

If she could give the owner an insulated protective suit and a lightning rod…

Dong Xi seriously thought about the possibility, but after thinking for a long time, she still could not think of such material in the cultivation world. The Lightning Tribulation in the sky began to dissipate.

Wei Hong’s hair had been blown up. He had obviously been electrocuted.

Hong Wei opened his mouth, and a puff of smoke came out.

However, he seemed to be in a good state of mind. In this case, Dong Xi felt that this Lightning Tribulation was nothing special.

It was not as torturous as those numbers.

The sect elder cupped his fists at Hong Wei and said, “Congratulations, Hong Wei!”

Hong Wei immediately returned the greeting and looked around. Finally, he looked at Dong Xi. Hong Wei stepped on the ice sword and flew to Dong Xi.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist,” said Hong Wei.

Although Hong Wei’s age and qualifications were much higher than Dong Xi’s, she had helped Hong Wei solve the demon in his heart. Hong Wei also sincerely cupped his fists to Dong Xi and made a greeting of equals.

“Senior, you’re too polite. I’m just…” Dong Xi immediately cupped her fists.

Dong Xi had wanted to say that she was being a busybody, but to this Senior, it did not seem like she was being a busybody, right?
