623: The benefits at the risk of one’s life

The benefits at the risk of one’s life

However, she didn't hear any reply from Crimson Flame despite asking. After a long moment passed, he finally replied, "Top grade purple lightning is not something that happens all the time. After absorbing it, the amount of damage you receive from the lightning decrease quite substantially. You will not have to worry when faced with average lightning tribulations. That is the benefit the lightning gave you."2

Sima You Yue's eyes went wide with wonder when she heard, and her mouth was so round that you could stuff a chicken egg in.

"What's top grade purple lightning?"

"It's a rare type of lightning encountered in lightning tribulations. Now that your body contains the top grade purple lightning, you can call upon the powers of lightning if you cultivate well. You won't have to wait to advance in rank either." Crimson Flame explained.

"So you're saying that I will be able to call upon the lightning tribulations to help me in the future?" Sima You Yue pursed her lips. This was too OP, wasn't it?

"The lightning can temper your body, and it will be useful if you use it together with your current cultivation method." Crimson Flame said, "Also, if you ever find anyone that pisses you off that you can't defeat…"

Crimson Flame didn't finish speaking, but Sima You Yue understood what he meant. If she were immune to lightning, she could use it to temper her body whenever she had the time. She could also use the lightning tribulation to kill her opponent if she needed to. Ini any case, during her tribulations, others would be dragged in too if they were nearby.

Once she found out how useful the top grade purple lightning was, she was grinning even in her sleep.

"Crimson Flame, why was it that despite all the lightning tribulations I went through before, this time was different? Why did the top grade purple lightning appear?" She finally thought of this question when she was done smiling.

"It should be because you gained quite a few more levels this time." Crimson Flame wasn't too sure of it himself, "The occurrence of the top grade purple lightning is based on chance as well. It's not that it appears just because you advance a few levels at one go. I didn't know that it would appear in the beginning. I only knew when it appeared in the last three strikes."

"If that's the case, it must be because I'm such a great person." Sima You Yue said narcissistically, "Oh but, Crimson Flame, did this this purple flame really injure you? You sound a little more tired than usual."

Crimson Flame didn't speak through the time she was recuperating. He seemed to be sleeping and had only awakened today.

"It is true that I spent quite a bit of energy in order to protect your body against the top grade purple lightning." Crimson Flame replied, "However, I have already eaten a Golden Snake Apple and have already recovered quite a bit. I am merely a bit tired and will recover with rest."

Sima You Yue thought it over before lowering her voice and saying solemnly, "Thank you, Crimson Flame."

Crimson Flame was actually really strong. This was something that she was already subtly aware of. HOwever, she didn't think that he would be so gravely injured. If it were not for him, would she really have been able to survive after encountering the top grade purple lightning?

"Mmm. I'm going back to sleep for a bit. Don't call me unless you need something." Crimson Flame could feel her gratitude and the corner of his mouth hooked into a smile. He didn't speak after his casual reply.

"Rest well." Sima You Yue said. Her heart was broken when she thought of how badly Crimson Flame as well as her little spirit beasts were injured as a result of helping her pass her tribulations.

"Yue Yue, we're almost completely healed." Little Roar called out from inside the spirit pagoda.

"That's right, Master. We're all healed up." Ya Guang replied.

"We also took the opportunity to consolidate our new strength." Halcyon said.

She was so moved that her little spirit beasts were comforting her, "Thank you guys, I'm so glad to have you with me."

"It's the best to be with you, Yue Yue." Little Roar said.

"I've had no choice but to let you suffer inside the spirit pagoda recently. Once we're back, I'll cook up a huge feast for y'all." Sima You Yue said with a smile.

"Yay yay! It's been so long since I got to eat Yue Yue's cooking!" Little Roar was always the first when it came to food.

"Master, Master. I want to eat roasted pork." Ya Guang said.

"I'm good with anything." Halcyon said cooly.

The smile on Sima You Yue's face grew. She really had a group of greedy little spirit beasts!

She was only in her room for a short moment before her group of brothers came in.

"Lil' Sis, let us introduce ourselves. This is Third Bro, this is Fourth Bro, this is…" Wu La Xiu introduced them all to her.

"Thank you, big brothers, for coming to visit me." Sima You Yue lay on the bed as the group of guys stood around her, feeling as if she was really had fate with getting brothers. It was a pity that she didn't have any sisters.

"How do you feel now?" Wu La Bo asked.

"Much better. I should be out of bed in a few days." Sima You Yue replied.

"Lil' Sis, you're really amazing. You were actually able to survive that kind of lightning tribulation."

"Isn't it all thanks to my little spirit beasts?" She said with a smile.

In any case, they had already seen everything that happened. It was natural that they had seen her little spirit beasts.

"You have so many contracted beasts.I've never seen anyone like you when I was wandering around the continent. How did you end up contracting so many beasts?"

"Eh, I bumped into them and they were willing to follow me. I eventually collected more of them." Sima You Yue explained. Although these beasts were basically ones that had been scammed by either her or Little Roar, they were all willing to follow her in the end. That was why she just skipped to the end.

"Alright, let's let Lil Sis' stay her and recover. We shouldn't continue to linger and bother her." Wu La Li noticed that Sima You Yue looked rather tired, so he immediately chased them out.

"Lil' Sis, rest well. Once you're well, we'll be back to talk about this crazy event."

"Alright." She cast a grateful glance at Wu La Li.

Although her cheaply gotten brothers didn't look half bad, she was not yet fully recovered and did not want so many people around her.

"Big Brothers eh…. I wonder how my Big Bros back home are doing." Sima You Yue kind of missed Sima You Ming and the others as she gazed at the crystal palace. 

Although she had entered the sect, if she wasn't running around looking for ingredients for Ximen Feng, she was busying about outside. She rarely spent time with them ese two years. Now that she thought about it, she rather missed them.

After eating a few pills and recovering based on her natural ability with the divine devil physique, she recovered within half a month in total. Everyone in the violet water clan was secretly in awe at her speed of recovery.

Within this period of time, her cheaply gotten brothers would pop in for a visit now and then. She gradually grew familiar with them as time went by.

On this day, she had changed into male garb to look for Shui Qing Man. After staying here for such a long time, she figured she should head back.

"Lil' Sis, why did you change into male garb?" Wu La Xiu asked her curiously when he saw her dressed this way.

Sima You Yue casually told them about how she had to dress up as a male. Shui Qing Man used to assume that she just enjoyed dressing like a boy, but once she knew that she had an inevitable reason for doing so, she ordered everyone to change their form of address. She got the common citizens to address her as the Tenth Highness, and Wu La Li and the others called her Tenth Bro too.

"Mother, I've been here for around seven to eight months. At that time, I took a year's leave, so I should be heading back now."
