My Lady Always Lacks Ambition-Chapter 1070 - 1040: Never Forget to Temper Magic Artifacts with Thunder Strike

Chapter 1070: Chapter 1040: Never Forget to Temper Magic Artifacts with Thunder Strike

One, two, three... nine.

Nine whole strands of purple Heavenly Thunder struck Qin Liuxi.

Everyone was stunned, screaming out loud.

Lu Xun reacted the quickest, saying: "Quick, save her."

But how? How to save her?

The guards just moved, and Teng Zhao stopped them: "Don’t go over."

The crowd was puzzled.

"It’s okay." Teng Zhao maintained a blank face, feigning calmness, but his tightly clenched fists betrayed his worry.

Little Ginseng also clenched the wallet at his waist, saying: "This is enduring the three deficiencies and five harms, right? Those three dead yin yuan are probably completely gone."

Teng Zhao kept silent.

Little Ginseng sighed and said: "Wang Chuan is too malicious." After a pause, he added: "Will Xixi regret bringing her back?"

"She won’t." Teng Zhao looked at Qin Liuxi, who was enveloped by lightning, and continued: "Master saves her, but also saves the people of that village where she was from. There are even smaller and more innocent infants in that village. What Master does follows the direction of the Dao Heart."

If she were truly afraid of bearing the three deficiencies and five harms of karma, Qin Liuxi would have retreated to the mountains and forests, avoiding worldly affairs with cold affection and indifference. Why bother becoming the temple master of Qingping Temple?

The Dao she cultivates isn’t the supreme path of the Immortals, but the path of mortals.

Whether you call her arrogant or aloof, embracing the three deficiencies and five harms is just how it is.

Little Ginseng asked: "And you? Do you regret it?"

Teng Zhao was silent for a while, then said: "I’m not like Master."

So he resents, resents that Wang Chuan brought such pain to Master, but he also knows that it’s misplaced anger. What wrong did she do when she was lost?

Instead, it was them who failed to protect her and lost her.

The thunder stopped.

The ground on which sat a black mass crackled with black smoke, and occasionally, sparks still burst out.

Could she be dead?

Teng Zhao had already stepped forward, wrapping Qin Liuxi in the cloak to prevent her tattered clothes from disgracing her in front of others. However, when he touched the residual power from the lightning, he couldn’t help but tremble.

Supporting Qin Liuxi to stand up, everyone was amazed. After being struck by lightning like that, and still not dying, she must have achieved immortality through tribulation?

Xue Bozhen couldn’t help but run forward, his face pale, saying: "Are you alright?"

Lu Xun said: "Shall I get a doctor?"

Qin Liuxi coughed twice, spraying out a mouthful of black smoke. Her hair stood on end as she tugged at the corners of her mouth, saying: "No need, I’ll tidy up, and later my disciples will finish up."

She walked toward the guest room on the other side, and Little Ginseng followed.

The few masters and disciples disappeared into the guest room, and the courtyard fell silent.

Xue Bozhen looked at Lu Xun, swallowing nervously, saying: "Is the master really okay?"

"Able to walk, able to speak, should be alright."

"Struck by lightning so dreadfully and still okay." Xue Bozhen’s eyes were blank, saying: "Make sure not to let your Saint uncle find out, otherwise he’ll invite her into the Palace to inquire about Immortal arts."

Lu Xun: "..."

Now wait, whom are you implying here?

Inside the guest room.

Little Ginseng took out a finger-sized ginseng root from the wallet and thrust it into Qin Liuxi’s mouth: "Here, quickly suck on it, replenish your Primordial Qi."

Qin Liuxi avoided his hand, saying: "I just ate a root earlier; if I eat more, I’ll get a nosebleed. Give the Xue family a small root, let them chop and stew it with a piece of lean pork, let Xue Yuying eat it with the soup and meat, and her matter will be settled. Zhaozhao, fetch paper and pen, I’ll dictate and you take notes."

Teng Zhao handed over tea, looking at her pitiful appearance, frowning: "It’s not too late to get yourself sorted first."

"It’s no rush for that." Qin Liuxi hissed through gritted teeth, damn it, these strands of Heavenly Thunder have left her dazed. She definitely needs to meditate for a few days to recuperate. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Little Ginseng walked out promptly without any objection, fetched a small stove and water, and tossed the ginseng inside to boil.

Teng Zhao jotted down the prescribed formula for recuperation as dictated by Qin Liuxi. Soon after, Qin Liuxi released her grip, revealing several Jade Talismans in her hands. However, they weren’t like ordinary Jade in their whiteness but emitted a purple glow, resembling the color of the lightning just now, very pretty.

"This is..."

Qin Liuxi grinned, a mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth. She wiped it away with her sleeve, saying: "Well, since I had to suffer lightning strikes, couldn’t waste such good electric thrusts from the lightning. It’s perfect to layer my Jade Talismans with a Thunder Strike, exorcising evil and avoiding danger, not inferior to Thunderstruck Wood, and better looking too."

Thunderstruck Jade Talismans, unbroken, instead gained an extra layer of exorcist power, are excellent Magic Artifacts.

Teng Zhao found it hard to express, even struck by lightning, she didn’t forget to empower these few Jade Talismans. Who would’ve thought?

The feeling of being used by the Thunder God: it’s characteristic of her!

Jade is inherently fragile, especially when struck by lightning, but to successfully empower them, one has to protect them with spells during the strike, then refine them using the lightning.

Successful refinement causes the Jade Talismans to glow with purple Thunder Light.

Little Ginseng glanced at it, saying: "You really use every means possible."

Qin Liuxi handed one over to Teng Zhao, saying: "Let that girl wear it."

Teng Zhao took it, pausing before saying: "Master, even an ordinary Peace Talisman would do, you’ve given more than enough."

Qin Liuxi replied: "I can’t save the others; she has a bit of luck, consider it compensation for her. You must understand, although she has a Purely Induced Body, maintaining exercise will ensure that her life expectancy isn’t short. Reaching the age of fifty still doesn’t match her original lifespan."

Teng Zhao remained silent.

Little Ginseng opened his mouth, then pursed his lips, indicating it’s to repay the debt owed to Wang Chuan.

"You guys go. I’m fine, I got a bit of divine light protection earlier; now after the lightning strike, I can temper my body. I must go into seclusion." Qin Liuxi said.

Little Ginseng made her drink the ginseng tea first, saw her finish it, then withdrew with Teng Zhao.

Closed the door.

"Is the Temple Master alright?" Lu Xun asked with concern.

Teng Zhao shook his head, went to Xue Yuying’s room, where Xue Bozhen and Lady Xue softly talked about Qin Liuxi’s recent events. When they saw them come in, they quickly stood up.

"Is the master truly alright?" Xue Bozhen was extremely concerned.

Lady Xue also stood up, with a worried expression, saying: "The master was struck by lightning; does it relate to my son’s recovery?"

Teng Zhao looked at Xue Yuying on the bed, seeing her completely restored to her twelve-year-old appearance. Though her face was still pale, the deathly aura had completely faded, and she’d likely wake up tomorrow.

"Lady Xue is correct, Miss Xue had only a thread of vitality left. If we hadn’t arrived timely, she might have... Now her vitality is fully restored, she fought against fate. Cultivators defying heaven to change fate must endure the three deficiencies and five harms. She currently suffers from self-control. Self-control can mean physical defects or incompleteness, getting struck by lightning injures the body."

Lady Xue’s face paled, saying: "The master is kind; we have burdened her."

Teng Zhao said: "Lady Xue need not blame herself; this is something Cultivators will encounter, and it’s the karma that Master must bear." He also handed over the Purple Light Jade Talisman: "This was forged by Master during the lightning strike using its power, have Miss Xue wear it. It wards off evil and protects"

Xue Bozhen hurriedly received it, looking at the Purple Light Jade Talisman with excitement; this is something invaluable.
