547: No difference

Ruan Xingluo felt ashamed for misunderstanding Xiao Lingchen.

Seeing Xiao Lingchen proactively take the blame for the misunderstanding upon himself, her favorable impression of him doubled!

"Xiao Lingchen possesses extraordinary talent, formidable strength, and the virtue of a gentleman; he is truly a rare find!"

"He is the only good man I have ever seen in this world!"

"I, Ruan Xingluo, am also getting on in years. If I truly seek a suitable husband in the future, I must find one as good as Xiao Lingchen."

Ruan Xingluo mused silently to herself.

Meanwhile, Xiao Lingchen spoke again, asking:

"Xingluo Fairy, what's wrong?"

"Is there a problem?"

Ruan Xingluo's thoughts were interrupted.

She then said:

"No... nothing's wrong..."

"It's just that this Thunder Accumulation Liquid was discovered by you, and we owe our survival on this trip largely to you."

"This Thunder Accumulation Liquid should rightfully belong to you; how could I..."

Ruan Xingluo didn't finish her sentence.

Xiao Lingchen interrupted her, saying:

"Fairy, there's no need to be polite."

"There's too much Thunder Accumulation Liquid; I can't absorb it all by myself."

"Whatever's left would be wasted."

"Why don't we share it?"

Ruan Xingluo felt a little embarrassed.

But she was also coveting the Thunder Accumulation Liquid.

After a brief moment of hesitation.

She nodded and said:

"Since that's the case, then I shall respectfully accept."

"Thank you!"

With that said.

Ruan Xingluo no longer stood on ceremony.

With a wave of her hand.

She dug a pit large enough for herself in the distance.

Then she took out a bottle of spiritual liquid and poured it into it.

"You..."

"Can you close your eyes and not look?"

Ruan Xingluo suddenly said to Xiao Lingchen.

Xiao Lingchen replied:

"Of course."

As he spoke.

Xiao Lingchen proactively closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Ruan Xingluo's favorable impression of Xiao Lingchen increased even further.

She then quickly removed her clothes.

Perhaps she was still uneasy.

So, when she had half-undressed.

Ruan Xingluo specifically glanced at Xiao Lingchen.

After confirming that he wasn't peeking.

Only then did she feel at ease to completely remove her clothes.

And then she immersed herself in the spiritual liquid.

Unfortunately, she didn't know.

Xiao Lingchen possessed two divine pupils, the Scarlet Jade Divine Pupil and the Reincarnation Eye.

Closing his eyes or not made almost no difference.

After immersing herself in the spiritual liquid.

Ruan Xingluo began to draw the Thunder Accumulation Liquid into it.

She didn't expect that as soon as she poured in less than approximately one bottle's worth of Thunder Accumulation Liquid.

Ruan Xingluo felt intense stinging pain all over her body.

As the Thunder Accumulation Liquid continued to pour in, this stinging sensation became increasingly obvious and intense.

About three bottles' worth of Thunder Accumulation Liquid was enough to make Ruan Xingluo feel as if millions of insects were gnawing at her, causing her such agony that even moving a finger felt like her body would shatter.

She quickly stopped, not daring to continue pouring more Thunder Accumulation Liquid into it.

"I didn't expect this Thunder Accumulation Liquid to be so overbearing."

"My Cultivation talent is also extraordinary, and I possess a special Physique, yet I can only withstand this much Thunder Accumulation Liquid."

Ruan Xingluo mumbled to herself.

Then she saw that Xiao Lingchen was still pouring more Thunder Accumulation Liquid into his own puddle.

She was even more astonished:

"What kind of monster is Xiao Lingchen?"

"How can he... how can he withstand so much Thunder Accumulation Liquid?"

"No wonder he has such strength at this age; his Physique is indeed astonishing!"

However, Ruan Xingluo didn't know.

While Xiao Lingchen's Physique was indeed remarkable.

His will was far stronger than his Physique!

At this moment, Xiao Lingchen, like Ruan Xingluo, felt as if millions of insects were gnawing at him under the immersion of the Thunder Accumulation Liquid.

Even a slight movement made him feel like his entire body would shatter.

However.

He could also clearly feel his body constantly growing stronger little by little!

Thus, the will to become stronger made him, time and again, draw more Thunder Accumulation Liquid into the pit!

Just like when his Revered Master transplanted the sword bone for him.

Even if his body exploded tens of thousands of times, he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

He tried again and again!

In comparison.

The pain brought by this Thunder Accumulation Liquid Body Tempering was much less than the pain of the sword bone explosion.

So Xiao Lingchen also drew more Thunder Accumulation Liquid to continue pouring into the pit!

Until Xiao Lingchen finally could not continue anymore.

Only then did he stop.

Then he sank into the pool.

Cultivating and soaking with peace of mind!

At the same time.

Outside the Thunder Pool.

Ruan Haitang and Zhao He's eyes were filled with astonishment.

They had arrived outside the Thunder Pool early to stake out Xiao Lingchen and Ruan Xingluo.

When they arrived, the Thunder Pool was covered in dense thunderclouds and roaring thunder.

But now.

The thunderclouds and thunder in the Thunder Pool had all dissipated!

"This... Haitang, what's going on?"

"Why is there no thunder in the Thunder Pool?"

Zhao He looked at the scene in the Thunder Pool from afar, his face full of shock and disbelief.

No thunder in the Thunder Pool, this was an unheard-of event in millions of years!

Ruan Haitang glared at him and said:

"How would I know?!"

Then a preposterous guess suddenly arose in Ruan Haitang's mind:

"Could it be, that Ruan Xingluo and that man did it?"

"They've already found the lei lin root, so the thunder in this Thunder Pool has all disappeared?"

Zhao He said dully:

"Although it seems unlikely, that seems to be the only explanation."

Ruan Haitang said:

"Never mind."

"Whether it was Ruan Xingluo and that man or not, it doesn't matter!"

"If they really got the lei lin root, that's good!"

"That way they can come out of there as soon as possible, and I can get my revenge on her as soon as possible!"

Zhao He smiled and nodded:

"Yes, yes!"

"I believe they should be out very soon!"

However.

They waited, and three months passed.

Three months.

There was no sign of Ruan Xingluo and Xiao Lingchen emerging from the Thunder Pool.

This made the two of them a little impatient.

Zhao He muttered:

"Why aren't they out yet?"

"Could they have died in there?"

Ruan Haitang slapped him and said:

"Shut your crow's mouth!"

"You'd better pray they can come out of there, otherwise your socks are gone!"

Another three months passed in a flash.

The two of them had been waiting in place so long they almost had cobwebs on them, but Ruan Xingluo and Xiao Lingchen still hadn't come out.

However, this time, Zhao He learned his lesson and dared not speak nonsense again.

He could only silently continue to wait.

A year passed in a blink of an eye.

Three years passed.

Zhao He and Ruan Haitang were now waiting like wooden statues.

If they shook, a thick layer of dust would immediately fall from their bodies.

Zhao He looked at Ruan Haitang beside him and said helplessly:

"Haitang..."

"It's been two years, and they still haven't come out."

"Why don't we leave?"

After two years of waiting, Zhao He deeply felt that he was wasting his time.

If Ruan Haitang hadn't been there, he would have left long ago.

Ruan Haitang was also somewhat numb from waiting.

But she was unwilling to give up, saying:

"Just a little longer, I refuse to believe it!"

"There's no thunder in the Thunder Pool anymore, they can't possibly have died in there."

Suddenly.

A plan came to Ruan Haitang's mind.

She said to Zhao He:

"How about, you go in and take a look?"

"What?"

Zhao He was startled when he heard this.

He pointed at his nose:

"...Me?"
