Zhang Mei's scream immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they were all shocked.

"Heavenly Lightning? But why did it appear?" Liu Yan wondered, then looked worriedly towards the vortex where Xie Qing was. "At his cultivation level... it will be dangerous to receive this attack. The consequence may be his own death."

"This..."

Xu Mei also noticed the changes and darkened. She waved her hand, trying to block the Heavenly Laws, but then froze.

"Heavenly Laws... ignore me? And such strong resistance... what the hell?"

Anyone who reached the level of Transcendence could interact with the Heavenly Laws of the mortal world. Of course, this influence was extremely weak, and one could only 'plead', not command.

Usually, the Heavenly Laws obeyed Xu Mei's will, but now they stubbornly resisted! This was the first time!

"Damn!"

Xu Mei clenched her teeth and tried to intervene by force, but she was thrown back. Falling to the ground, the woman showed shock on her face.

"Wh-what... Heavenly Laws block any intervention? This is not normal! How could ordinary training cause them?"

Heavenly Lightning. A powerful force that punishes sinners who have defied the Heavens.

They can interfere with the breakthrough of beings with Negative Karma, which is why cultivators try to cleanse their sins. Xu Mei was sure that Xie Qing had no Negative Karma, so why...

Boom! Rumbling!

Loud, deafening sounds of thunder and lightning came from inside the storm. Xie Qing opened his eyes, which seemed somewhat deserted, and his expression was somewhat cold and detached.

"How disgusting. Why can't they just sit still and not interfere with me?" Xie Qing muttered in a strange language unknown to anyone in this world.

He stood up and waved his hand. Mysteriously, a rusty sword appeared in his hand.

The overall length of the sword was 110 cm. It was all rusty, as if not sharpened at all. The peculiarity was that the sword had a rounded tip with a hole in the middle, which greatly distinguished it from ordinary swords.

The handle was made of pine wood, was short, and it seemed uncomfortable to hold.

Nevertheless, Xie Qing, holding the sword in his hand, confidently swung it.

Swoosh!

The vortex dispersed in all directions, and Xu Mei's Sword Aura was thrown back. Xie Qing cracked his neck and looked at the clouds still rumbling with anger.

"Heavenly Lightning... hah. How annoying..."

Xie Qing shook his head and sat back down in the lotus position, closing his eyes. After a few minutes, when there was another rumble, Xie Qing came to his senses.

He looked puzzled at his hand. The sword had disappeared as if it had never existed. The young man was puzzled.

"Where did this crap go? I don't even remember how I summoned it... how strange." He thought, feeling a slight dizziness, and then looked at the clouds in surprise. "Damn! Heavenly Lightning? What for?

I didn't fuck the wife of the Heavenly Emperor in my past life?!"

Xie Qing had no thoughts left about what he had done to anger the Heavens. He wanted to swear.

However, as if seeing his annoyance, the clouds began to dissipate, and the sounds of thunder became quieter and quieter.

Xie Qing checked his cultivation base and was pleasantly surprised.

"Second stage of Soul Integration! Could it be that this training led to something good? Oh yes!"

Feeling quite pleased, he stood up and approached Xu Mei, who for some reason was lying on the ground and looking at him in surprise.

"Wh-what are you doing, Ma...ster..."

Bugh.

After taking two steps, Xie Qing froze and fell to the ground, losing consciousness.

"X-Xie Qing?!"

***

Xie Qing opened his eyes, feeling that he was on an open platform. The wind gently blew his hair, while a sweet floral scent touched his nose.

Judging by the slight hardness, he was lying on the ground. His scattered black eyes were blurry, and he blinked several times, trying to come to his senses.

After a few seconds, when Xie Qing restored his vision, he dispassionately looked at Lu Yin.

"Eh... y-you woke up, ha-ha-ha... g-good morning..."

"...Good..."

Xie Qing raised an eyebrow. His nape surprisingly touched something warm, and when he saw Lu Yin's head and smelled the scent of pills... it dawned on him.

"Knee-pillows? I now feel like a hero after a battle, cared for by a princess..." Xie Qing thought, his mind filled with all sorts of nonsense.

He quickly came to his senses after lying on the girl's knees for a while. Looking around, he raised an eyebrow.

"Where are we?"

"This is still the same space. The sect masters are talking to each other and trying to find a replacement for some ingredients. And I volunteered to protect you and take care of you," Lu Yin explained with an embarrassed smile. "I saw that you were uncomfortable and decided to help... was that not allowed?"

"It's allowed. I'm willing to pay." Xie Qing replied with a serious face.

"Eh? I don't need payment..."

Lu Yin laughed cheerfully. Xie Qing shrugged and rubbed his eyes. Only now did he realize what had happened.

He was training with the Sword Aura Vortex. After that, the Heavenly Lightning tried to strike him, but he deflected it with some strange sword and lost consciousness due to Qi exhaustion.

It seemed that quite some time had passed, as the Qi in the air and his position differed from what he remembered before losing consciousness.

However, the good news was that he had broken through to the second stage of Soul Integration, which couldn't but make him happy.

Feeling pleased, he tried to browse the store but still couldn't find anything useful.

Of course, there were items that could help him, but at his current cultivation level, they were useless to him for a simple reason - the young man wouldn't be able to control them.

"Let's go to the elders. I also wanted to help them," Xie Qing said and reached out his hand to Lu Yin.

For some reason, the girl stared at his hand for a few seconds before grabbing it and allowing herself to be lifted up.

Xie Qing walked ahead, lost in thought, while Lu Yin looked unblinkingly at their hands.

"Master."

Xie Qing climbed onto the veranda, noticing that the trio of sect masters were at work. Hearing his voice, Xu Mei turned around, and a beautiful smile bloomed on her face.

"Disciple, so you woke up!"

In an instant, the woman was next to him, which greatly shocked Xie Qing. This was teleportation, which was considered a feature of cultivators at the Transcendence level..

"She used this tiring technique to reach me?" Xie Qing thought, weakly smiling.

Xu Mei, like a curious cat, examined Xie Qing and even sniffed him, as if trying to find wounds or something similar.

"Hm, hm..."

Making humming sounds, she smiled and raised her thumb up.

"You're fine. That's great."

"Da-a?"

Xie Qing raised an eyebrow at her method of checking and decided to change the subject.

"Have you achieved any results?" He asked, glancing at the worktable.

"As you can see..."

Xu Mei bitterly smiled, showing a stack of papers with the inscription "Not Suitable," which already explained everything better than any words.

"Crossbreeding ingredients, we tried, and got only two results that were too far-fetched and had many unstable factors," Xu Mei said with annoyance, clicking her tongue. "Of course, we could try to make a pill with these ingredients, but it's too expensive, and most likely, the result will be a failure."

"Damn..."

Xie Qing was slightly disappointed. It seemed that Liu Yan and the others would have to experiment for a long time and try to find suitable ingredients.

He couldn't help. Although he had some talent for alchemy, his knowledge was too small, and he would just get in the way.

So, he decided to read Liu Yan's encyclopedia for now, which she made copies of using Dao technique.

"1780 pages... holy shit..."

Xie Qing was astounded. In the outside world, such a book would be considered almost a precious stone, and a queue of hundreds of miles would form for its purchase.

"Author Liu Yan... well, no wonder." The young man thought and smiled.

He opened the first page, and his face became increasingly grim as he saw so much information and terms that were incomprehensible to him. His brain began to boil.

"Of course. Alchemy is not just swinging a sword..." He thought, feeling a slight headache. "When was the last time I read something like this? Probably when I was looking for porn books in the library and accidentally confused them with the method of growing spiritual flowers because of the title..."

Even I lost my speech here. Remembering this, this incident made Xie Qing interested in gardening.

Overcoming himself, he continued to read, trying to delve into the text and get as much information as possible. After all, he held valuable knowledge in his hands, for which one could even have one's head cut off.
