Those who didn't want Feng Yuqin to succeed shared the same thought as Situ Zihan.
Among them were Song Nanxu, Situ Lin, Xing Zhuojia, and Wei Yuanlong.
Crack!
Lightning struck Feng Yuqin. A surge of current instantly coursed through her body. She suddenly sat on the ground, resisting the sensation of the lightning piercing through her.
Groan...
The lightning hitting her body made her utter a soft sound due to the pain.
The lightning didn't completely dissipate upon striking her. Instead, it started to rampage through her meridians.
It seemed as if it intended to turn her meridians into useless ones.
Xiaolinger and the others in the space could clearly feel that the space was trembling at that moment.
Xiaoying and the others knew that their master was enduring great pain. These spirit pets quietly drew some of the lightning onto themselves.
The lightning was extremely terrifying. As Feng Yuqin was being battered by the lightning, dark clouds gathered around, and the barrier was also crackling under the strikes of the lightning.
Almost everyone on the competition stage quickly distanced themselves from Feng Yuqin and didn't dare to get too close to the barrier.
They were all worried that they might be implicated accidentally.
Fortunately, although the lightning looked terrifying, it wouldn't affect those around.
Seeing that the lightning only surrounded Feng Yuqin, they had the mood to watch the show.
They watched as Feng Yuqin was surrounded by the hissing lightning and worried that she might die.
"Will Feng Yuqin be struck to death?"
"Maybe. After all, we've never seen such thick lightning."
"It would be a pity if she really died."
"She's so beautiful, with such strong strength and high talent as an alchemist. It would truly be a pity if she died."
"If she doesn't die, the Divine Sword Sect is going to rise."
"I've decided. If Feng Yuqin survives this, I'll also go to the Divine Sword Sect."
"You're thinking too optimistically. What if she becomes famous after this and goes to a major power?"
"Then shall we also go to a major power?"
"Do you think a major power is a garbage dump that takes in everyone?"
"I'd better hope Feng Yuqin stays in the Divine Sword Sect. Then I might still have a chance."
It wasn't just a few people thinking like this.
Many people present were thinking the same.
Most of them hadn't joined any power yet.
Some were from the ten great families.
Others were from the eight major sects that were at the bottom.
It had to be said that Feng Yuqin's pill tribulation had given the Divine Sword Sect a free advertisement.
This was much more effective than the previous recruitment efforts by Gu Jianfeng and the others.
Previously, they had heard that the Sword Tomb had closed and were still hesitating.
After all, some people were worried whether the Sword Tomb had really opened.
Even if it had opened, what if it closed again?
However, Feng Yuqin's alchemical talent was real.
Just based on this, it could at least attract some alchemists to join.
Feng Yuqin didn't know about these things.
Because she had already noticed something strange.
"Xiaoying, Xiaojin, Hun Bing, Zhu Xie, take a look. Is this lightning tempering my meridians?" Feng Yuqin was worried that it was just an illusion.
"It is indeed tempering your meridians," Zhu Xie also felt it.
"I heard before that if an alchemist has good luck, the tribulation clouds will temper their meridians and expand their spiritual power, which will make alchemy much easier in the future," Xiaoying didn't know why this piece of information suddenly popped into her mind.
"But one needs to have strong willpower and be able to withstand the pain," Zhu Xie said. "Some people are afraid of pain and want to give up when the lightning is raging. You surely never thought of giving up just now, did you, Master?"
Although the lightning seemed to have no life, in fact, it was very sensitive.
"No," How could Feng Yuqin choose to give up?
Not to mention there were three children in the space.
Even if there weren't, she wouldn't think of giving up in such a situation.
After all, giving up might mean being electrocuted to death.
"That's right. Now the pain is over, and the rest is just the tempering of the meridians," Zhu Xie thought for a while and continued. "Moreover, after your tempering is over, you can assist when the pill is going through the tribulation. This is an extra benefit after the meridian tempering."
"Does it mean that if one's meridians aren't tempered, they can't protect their own pills?" Feng Yuqin quickly grasped the key point from Zhu Xie's words.
"Not absolutely," Zhu Xie glanced at the lightning. "If the meridians aren't tempered, the success rate of the pill is 70%. After tempering, it can instantly increase to 100%, which means the pill won't fail."
This news made Feng Yuqin quite happy.
After all, she didn't want to fail at a crucial moment.
Half an hour later, the meridian tempering was over.
Feng Yuqin's body was quickly recovering.
Her skin, which had been charred black by the lightning, returned to normal.
The luster of her skin was even clearer than before the pill tribulation.
The second bolt of lightning in the sky was already gathering.
Feng Yuqin looked up and found that the lightning was even thicker than the one that had struck her just now.
"What kind of pill is this? Why is the lightning twice as thick as what I know?"
"Rather, what kind of monster is Feng Yuqin? The pills she refined can attract such a powerful pill tribulation."
"The thicker the lightning, the better the quality of the pill. Feng Yuqin is really going to be famous as soon as she appears."
"Comparison kills."
It really lived up to the saying that there's no harm without comparison.
Crack~!
The second bolt of lightning struck down.
This time, it was different from before. It didn't target Feng Yuqin.
Instead, it targeted the pills in the alchemy furnace.
The moment the lightning fell, Feng Yuqin started to use the barrier to protect the pills.
"What is she doing?" Wei Yuanlong stared in disbelief when he saw this.
"She's really courting death. How dare she block the pill tribulation like this?" The head of the Lu family also thought Feng Yuqin's actions were rather stupid.
After all, the lightning striking oneself was different from the pill tribulation.
Just like cultivators, if it was one's own lightning tribulation, it might be just one portion.
If someone else helped, it would be doubled.
However, Feng Yuqin immediately slapped their faces.
Because she was completely fine.
"Why isn't she hurt?" The head of the Lu family frowned.
"Why didn't the pill tribulation double?" Wei Yuanlong was puzzled.
The others were also confused.
After all, they didn't know that Feng Yuqin's meridians had been tempered and she wasn't affected at all.
This was the benefit the lightning tribulation gave her for her strong willpower and perseverance.
"I seem to have heard that if someone's meridians have been tempered, they can help when the pill is going through the tribulation," the head of the Cai family said, looking at Feng Yuqin with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
After all, there were very few people who could do this.
