Chapter 263 - 263 Deal
263 Deal
Dong Xi instantly understood what the Big Snake meant. Dong Xi said, “I beg you, please help me this once. When we return, I will help you refine a few cauldrons of pills.”
“How many pills?” Su Cheng immediately asked.
Su Cheng’s voice was clearly raised, and Dong Xi could hear that he was ready to lay out his demands.
However, in order to temper her body, Dong Xi gritted her teeth and said, “50!”
“Deal,” Su Cheng immediately said.
Dong Xi was still a little excited. She was just about to take out the Thunderstruck Wood she had obtained in the newbie Mystic Realm and let the Big Snake store the power of lightning in it.
The snake-shaped mark flashed and then disappeared.
Dong Xi looked at the thunderclouds in the sky, which were slowly dissipating.
The airboat had already flown to the edge. Dong Xi had a premonition that the Big Snake was about to return.
As expected, the moment the thundercloud was destroyed, Dong Xi’s wrist felt as if it had been electrocuted. She rolled up her sleeves and saw the snake mark again. There were some faint purple electric arcs on it.
Dong Xi immediately put down her sleeve and returned to her room. After closing the door and windows, Dong Xi said, “Snake, where did you put the power of lightning?”
“I absorbed it,” the Big Snake said slowly. “If you need it, just tell me.”
Dong Xi, “…”
“Also, you promised me 50 furnaces of pills,” Su Cheng said again.
Dong Xi, “…”
In the end, the Big Snake absorbed the power of the lightning, but Dong Xi still wanted to refine pills for it? The snake took all the advantages?
“You demon beasts who have cultivated for a thousand years are indeed very shrewd,” Dong Xi gritted her teeth and said.
Su Cheng was in a good mood and smiled. “You’re too kind.”
“You must cooperate with me,” Dong Xi said. “I want to refine my body. Otherwise, I can break my promise at any time and not refine pills for you.”
“Body refining?” Su Cheng was a little surprised. “Using the power of lightning to refine the body?”
In the past, only someone like Su Cheng was crazy enough to even imagine such a thing.
“Let’s have a little lightning first, I’ll get used to it,” said Dong Xi with a nod.
The two of them had agreed before that Su Cheng would also give Dong Xi a little lightning, but the power of the lightning was weakened manifold.
The little girl was a human with a mortal body. If she was tortured to death by lightning, where would Su Cheng find a girl to refine pills?
When the power of lightning entered Dong Xi’s body, she instantly felt numb. She quickly reacted and guided the power of lightning to temper her bones and muscles.
However, before she could even temper his arm, the power of lightning was already gone.
This feeling was as if he had scratched half of an itch, but it still did not relieve the itch.
“Continue,” Dong Xi said while biting her lip.
Su Cheng was holding Dong Xi’s wrist. He was very clear about the situation.
This girl’s body was much better than Su Cheng had imagined. What mortal body? Su Cheng had really misjudged her.
“If that’s the case, then I’ll do as you wish,” Su Cheng said in a low voice.
What followed was two times more thunder and lightning than before. Dong Xi did not bother to talk to the Big Snake at this time. She immediately concealed her spiritual Qi, calming herself to resist the thunder and lightning in his body.
After absorbing the power of the lightning with great difficulty, Dong Xi could smell the smell of burnt skin and flesh.
Dong Xi frowned in disgust and cast a cleaning spell, and the smell dissipated.
Dong Xi made a hand seal, and the pill furnace started burning.
The power of lightning was felt good, but it had to be said that it was especially useful in awakening cell activity. Now, Dong Xi felt extremely energetic and full of energy.
“Continue,” said Dong Xi excitedly.
Su Cheng also wanted to know how much the little girl could withstand. It was rare for a human girl to cultivate her body like this.
Dong Xi persevered until nighttime. Only when the sky darkened did Dong Xi stop her body cultivation.
“Let’s stop, it’s enough for today,” said Dong Xi.
Su Cheng was shocked at first, but now he was numb. Seeing Dong Xi finally stop, he let out a sigh of relief.
Dong Xi stood up and pushed open the window. The moon was hanging in the sky.
“That’s great,” said Dong Xi. “The moon has come out. I’m going to cultivate well. We’ll continue tomorrow.”
Su Cheng was speechless.
It was one thing for this girl to grind her fellow disciples, but she also wanted to grind the Big Snake to death?
In the past, Su Cheng thought that he was already very diligent. In his long life as a snake, it was because Su Cheng was more diligent than other demonic beasts and had good talent that he could have such cultivation at such a young age.
Seeing that Dong Xi had entered a state of cultivation, Su Cheng fell into a deep sleep once more.
When the sun rose the next day, Dong Xi once again awakened Su Cheng, and he continued to be a tool.
Su Cheng did not know why his temper was so good. If someone had been like this before, Su Cheng would have eaten them.
Could it be… because he had a request?
Dong Xi trained like this until the afternoon and let Su Cheng go.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to train anymore, but he heard Daoist Yi Gua say, “We’re here.”
