Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Qiān Yè’s Lightning Tribulation (1)_1
"Me."
"Me."
"Me."
Xiaoyin was eager to be the first one each time. Here, only Lan Mei had undergone Tribulation Transformation, but since no one had witnessed it, they could only rely on its word; they were unable to truly feel it. The first one to face the trial would face relatively more risk; those after could adjust their energy according to the tribulation.
Dugu Qianye was pleased to sense everyone’s thoughts. This is what companions, what family is like!
"With the Transformed Pill, you all can succeed; it doesn’t matter who goes first," Dugu Qianye said, then took out a Transformed Pill, some Returning Power Pills for the Phantom Beasts, and handed them to Qingluan, saying, "Since Qingluan is of the highest level, you start."
Qingluan accepted the elixirs from Dugu Qianye solemnly, realizing they were not just a few simple pills, but a token of Dugu Qianye’s care and commitment to them!
Dugu Qianye and the other beasts all left the mountain peak, retreating to a safe distance. Qingluan held the elixir in her mouth and then began to slowly circulate the Phantom Power within her body. As she mobilized the power around her, dark clouds assembled in the clear sky, violent winds arose, causing the surrounding trees to rustle loudly.
"Master, will Qingluan be alright?" Hei Feng asked. Here, aside from Little Baiqiu, it had been with them for the shortest time, but its relationship with them was still very close. Of course, this was limited to them alone—for others, it remained the wild leopard it always was!
"She should be," Dugu Qianye couldn’t be sure either.
The dark clouds above soon gathered into a thick layer, within which friction-generated lightning could be seen. Quickly, the first bolt of lightning struck down, dissipating the protective layer Qingluan had conjured for herself and hitting Qingluan directly.
"Chirp chirp—" Qingluan cried out in her most primal scream when struck by the lightning.
Xiaohuo, having never seen such a scene, was so frightened that she burrowed into Dugu Qianye’s embrace.
Dugu Qianye held Xiaohuo, soothingly stroking her head, while watching Qingluan on the mountain intently.
After the first strike, there was a pause, allowing Qingluan a moment to adjust her energy and gather Phantom Power to form another thick layer of protection.
"Boom—"
The second tribulation lightning bolt struck down, thicker than the first, eliciting a piercing cry from Qingluan that made everyone watching cringe in sympathy.
After the second lightning strike, Qingluan was too weak to mobilize the Phantom Power in her body anymore. The wind dispersed the Phantom Power around her, revealing her body, battered by the lightning.
"Pfft—cough cough, cough cough." Seeing Qingluan’s state, Xiaojiu couldn’t help but laugh, but feeling the occasion was inappropriate, she faked a couple of coughs.
Qingluan’s current state was indeed quite funny. One of her crest feathers had been knocked off by the tribulation lightning, another burnt to a crisp, and another snapped in half; all her feathers appeared singed, blackened, so her original appearance was not discernible. From a distance, she looked like a lump of charcoal resting there.
"Cough cough." Dugu Qianye was also amused by Qingluan’s appearance. She remembered when Lan Mei had undergone her Transformation, she didn’t appear... well, quite so charred.
"Master, after Transformation there is a process of molting," Lan Mei explained, sensing Dugu Qianye’s bewilderment.
That explains it! Dugu Qianye understood and continued watching Qingluan.
Qingluan swallowed the Returning Power Pill given by Dugu Qianye, felt her body gradually regain sensation, and before she could prepare, the third tribulation lightning struck down.
"Pu—" This time the tribulation lightning struck it directly, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, scattering onto the scorched earth.
"Sister Qingluan!" Xiaohuo cried out in concern upon seeing Qingluan’s condition.
Xiaojiu also became tense at this moment, no longer playful and laughing as before.
Xiaoyin, Hei Feng, and Liehuo were all worried, ready to help Qingluan with the tribulation should she fail to withstand it!
After the third strike of lightning, the tribulation cloud seemed to consider Qingluan’s condition, halting for quite some time. Qingluan seized the opportunity to swallow two Returning Power Pills and regulated her breath to recuperate.
Several more strikes of lightning followed, and Qingluan had consumed all the Returning Power Pills she had held in her mouth, leaving only the final Transforming Pill.
By this time, Qingluan had endured eight strikes of the tribulation lightning, with only the last one remaining. Lan Mei had said that the final lightning strike was the most powerful, with a might surpassing the sum of all the previous ones.
Qingluan looked up at the darkening clouds still thickening above, swallowed the Transforming Pill. Having ingested the Transforming Pill, she felt fully recovered in strength, her condition now even better than before the tribulation. She stood up, waiting for the final strike of tribulation lightning. As long as she could endure it, she would be able to transform into human form!
"Boom—" Regardless of how the tribulation cloud brewed, the final strike of lightning eventually struck down.
"Boom—"
Lightning thicker than a bucket hurtled down from the cloud, conveying a force capable of obliterating heaven and earth. Qingluan looked up, let out a long cry, and then soared into the sky to meet it head-on.
"Chirp chirp—" Struck by the lightning, Qingluan plummeted from the sky. Her body still flickered with small bolts of lightning, emitting a crackling sound, and from afar, one could smell the scent of cooked meat.
Dugu Qianye led the others over, and through the bond of their contract, she knew Qingluan had withstood the lightning tribulation and could now undergo transformation.
"Are you inviting us to have barbecue?" Xiaojiu joked, smelling the meaty aroma in the air, "Wonder if it tastes as good as the master’s cooking skills."
Lying on the ground, Qingluan gave Xiaojiu a white look, then got surrounded by a white light that obscured her appearance. When the white light dissipated, Qingluan reemerged with even brighter and more lustrous turquoise feathers, and the plumes on her head had also grown out.
"This is magical?!"
Everyone looked at Qingluan in amazement. Was this the Qingluan who had just been in such a sorry state?
With a shake of her body, Qingluan transformed into a woman wearing a green dress, with a delicate petite face and waist-length hair, appearing somewhat frail, making it hard to believe she was a Transformed Beast.
"Sister Qingluan," Xiaohuo ran over and threw her arms around Qingluan. Since gaining consciousness, she had always been accompanied by Qingluan, and she held special feelings for her.
"Master," Qingluan approached Dugu Qianye and said with a smile, "I succeeded!"
Dugu Qianye hugged Qingluan and said, "You were great!"
"Without master’s help, I would have died during the tribulation," Qingluan said gratefully. The lower the bloodline of a Phantom Beast, the greater the might of the lightning during transformation. Without Dugu Qianye’s Elixir, she would not only have failed to transform but would also have lost her life.
"What was that white light just now? So magical!" Dugu Qianye asked.
"That is a blessing bestowed by the rules of the universe to those who successfully endure the lightning tribulation," Lan Mei explained.
