Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 54: Critical Point

However, Zhen Yuan didn’t have time to worry about too many things.

His current priority was the enemy standing behind a rock

"Come out." He shouted.

Unfortunately, the person stayed hidden.

"There is no use in hiding since you have already shown your tail."

"You are right." A hoarse voice said and a woman appeared in front of Zhen Yuan.

At a glance, the woman was at the mid-stage of the golden core realm.

She wore a dark blue robe, black boots, and a half-mask.

However, the half mask could not completely hide the purple-blue spots on the woman’s face.

Seeing the spots, Zhen Yuan frowned.

’She is one of those poison masters who accidentally poisoned themselves before learning how to poison others.’ He thought.

’I can’t let this kind of thing happen to my Xiaoxu.’ Zhen Yuan shuddered when he imagined blue spots on Shen Xu’s face.

’No, I can’t think of that now.’ He shook his head and subconsciously glanced at the woman’s storage ring.

Shen Xu had a complete alchemy inheritance.

Unfortunately, he lacked a poison-refining inheritance.

Since cultivators usually carried their valuables on their bodies, Zhen Yuan hoped there was a poison inheritance in the woman’s storage ring.

However, he currently didn’t have time to fight the woman.

With narrowed eyes, he removed a level three formation disk from his storage bag.

Seeing the formation disk, the woman panicked.

’As expected, he is not really a qi refining realm cultivator. What kind of qi refining weakling would appear in a place like this? I should have been...’

Unfortunately, Zhen Yuan didn’t give her time to react.

Before she could do anything, he directly trapped her in the killing formation disk.

"Don’t blame me for accepting the gifts you so willingly delivered." He said, hiding the disk in his left sleeve.

A moment later, Zhen Yuan left Yangguang Valley and ran through the Sunrise Forest.

Soon after, he arrived at the foot of a small hill.

"This will do." He muttered and hastily climbed the hill.

After he reached the top, he cut the surrounding trees and cleared an empty area.

When that was done, he entered the space and reappeared a moment later.

However, he was no longer alone.

"Xiaoxu, why did your cultivation suddenly reach the critical point?" Zhen Yuan asked.

At the same time, he piled a mountain of spirit stones in the clearing.

"It’s the egg." Shen Xu sighed and looked at the egg he carried out of the Chaos Flame space.

At a glance, the white eggshell was full of cracks.

With a little effort, the contracted beast would soon be born.

"Ayuan, do we have enough spirit stones?" Shen Xu asked with a worried expression.

"Don’t worry." Zhen Yuan said, rubbing the person’s hair.

"It’s important to advance before you lose the feeling." Zhen Yuan urged and Shen Xu nodded.

A moment later, he placed the egg on the spirit stones and sat cross-legged beside it.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

’Fortunately, I got a great harvest from the bandits and the Rong family. Without their spirit stones, Xiaoxu would be in trouble.’ He thought and subconsciously clenched his hands.

While Zhen Yuan was watching, the spirit stones began to disappear.

At a glance, most of the qi went to the egg but a small quarter went to Shen Xu.

When he saw this, Zhen Yuan frowned and added another one hundred million to the pile.

In the blink of an eye, four hundred million spirit stones disappeared.

Fortunately, just when Zhen Yuan began to worry about not having enough spirit stones, the eggshell fell apart.

Soon after, a little black snake crawled out of the debris and slithered towards Shen Xu.

At the same time, the double’s qi finally broke through the barrier and dark clouds began to form in the sky.

’This...’ Zhen Yuan was shocked.

As a special existence, Zhen Yuan didn’t encounter bottlenecks or experience lightning tribulation.

Even when his cultivation broke through to the ’golden core realm’, he simply advanced without causing a fuss.

That said, Zhen Yuan had read about ordinary cultivation.

From this, he knew foundation establishment realm cultivators didn’t experience a lightning tribulation.

However, from what was before him, Shen Xu was about to cross a lightning tribulation.

"This is not good." Zhen Yuan muttered with a solemn expression.

If he knew this would happen, he would have arranged a lightning formation for Shen Xu.

More importantly, he would have prepared appropriate weapons and pills.

’There is no time for regret.’ Zhen Yuan thought and removed a pile of weapons from his storage bag.

These weapons were the loot he got from the bandits and the Rong family.

Originally, he planned to resell them or let Shen Xu use them for practice.

Unexpectedly, before that could happen, the double ended up needing them to cross the tribulation.

"Little snake, bring these weapons and pills to your master." Zhen Yuan shouted while retreating from the area.

When it heard the voice, the little snake looked over, saw Zhen Yuan, and subconsciously trembled.

However, it quickly regained its composure and went to get the things.

"Xiaoxu, use the weapons to resist the tribulation and the pills to heal your injuries."

"Good." Shen Xu nodded with a solemn expression.

A moment later, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky.

The lightning was an arm thick and produced a terrifying cracking sound as it fell.

However, Shen Xu didn’t have the time to be frightened.

As a book reader, he knew he was experiencing an extraordinary event.

If he didn’t take care, the tribulation lightning would strike him to nothing.

’I don’t know why Ayuan has so many weapons and pills but they are just in time.’ Shen Xu thought and directly faced the first bolt of lightning.

The moment the lightning struck his body, Shen Xu screamed and painful tears streamed down his cheeks.

"It’s so painful." He cried and Zhen Yuan almost lost his mind.

While looking at his wife, Zhen Yuan felt helpless.

He wanted to rush over and protect the double.

However, lightning tribulation was one of those things that Shen Xu had to personally face.
