Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

"Don't rush to get dressed, look at the sky first."

Su Qingyan looked serious and spoke up to remind her.

Qin Quan frowned and looked up. The tribulation clouds that should have dissipated not only did not dissipate, but instead became thicker and darker, and the lightning arcs became more and more violent.

His heart sank: "The three tribulations of lightning have passed, but the tribulation clouds haven't dissipated, and the blessings from Heaven are still delayed. Could it be that the tribulation hasn't ended yet?"

"No time to explain, wake them up quickly! The fourth tribulation lightning is about to strike!"

Su Qingyan's expression changed drastically. No longer caring about the taboo between men and women, she immediately took out a handful of pills and forcibly fed them into the mouths of the three women. She then raised her hand and channeled her spiritual energy into them, quickly waking them up.

"Quickly, continue the yin-yang coexistence from where you were just now, preserve your vital energy, and don't let it be scattered by the lightning tribulation. This is your last chance to survive!"

Xia Ruoxi and the other two immediately snapped out of their daze and responded in unison without the slightest hesitation.

"This disciple will obey Master's instructions!"

With everything arranged, Su Qingyan retreated swiftly, instantly moving fifty miles away. She stood suspended in mid-air on the clouds, her brows furrowed, her divine sense locking onto the entire Rooster Crest Peak.

Now that the lightning-avoiding array has been completely destroyed, there is no longer any external force to divert the subsequent heavenly lightning, so the four of them can only rely on their physical bodies and cultivation to withstand it.

Qin Quan gritted his teeth in anger and looked up to curse.

"Su Qingyan, look what you've done! I'm warning you, if I survive this ordeal, I'll give you a good spanking!"

Su Qingyan's gentle voice reached Qin Quan's ears.

"As long as you survive, I'll let you do whatever you want with me."

"Junior brother, this matter cannot be blamed on our master."

Xia Ruoxi's ears turned bright red, and she dared not look Qin Quan in the eye.

"Your Pure Yang Technique is a dual cultivation method. The three of us have been practicing the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra since childhood and have remained virgins to this day. Master's arrangement is simply to increase the success rate of our tribulation."

"Yes, if we succeed in transcending the tribulation, the four of us will attain the Golden Core Dao together; if we fail, we will not be alone on the road to the Yellow Springs."

Ling Yuyan looked up, her gaze lingering and affectionate, her eyes filled with Qin Quan, her voice as gentle as a clear spring.

"Ever since the day you were banished from the mountain by your master, she has been instructing us to prepare for today's tribulation."

Compared to the two women's reserved and demure nature, Gao Yuan has always been frank and straightforward, simply breaking down the last barrier.

"Junior brother, whether we live or die today, from this day forward, we are not only your senior sisters, but also your women."

"Let go, even if the sky falls, we, your fellow disciples, will shoulder it together."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the anger in Qin Quan's heart turned into a burning warmth, and the fighting spirit in his eyes soared to the sky. He raised his hand and tightly embraced the three women.

"For the sake of my three senior sisters, I will spare no effort today, even if it costs me my cultivation, to ensure that you suffer the slightest harm."

A surge of pure Yang energy erupted, transforming into a golden vortex that tightly enveloped and surrounded the four people.

The three women were by no means weaklings who depended on others. With their minds and spirits united, they simultaneously activated the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra. The three yin and one yang energies blended seamlessly, steadily matching the eight trigrams. In a state of symbiotic dual cultivation, they quietly awaited the arrival of the fourth world-destroying lightning tribulation.

Yin and Yang flowed through the heavens and earth, and a dense black and white energy swept across the entire broken peak.

The next moment, a miraculous scene unfolded.

The land that had just been scorched by lightning was gradually enveloped in life.

Tender grass breaks through the soil and grows wildly, withered trees sprout new buds, yin and yang complement each other, and all things are revived.

The combined aura of the four individuals obscured the heavenly secrets, and the thick tribulation clouds above made it impossible to discern the aura of the beings undergoing tribulation.

The fourth lightning tribulation, which had not yet taken shape, lost its guiding force and, after churning for a moment, dissipated layer by layer.

The dark clouds receded, revealing the moon through the clouds.

Qin Quan looked up at the clear blue sky, his face filled with astonishment, and instinctively cursed:

"What the hell? Where did the fourth lightning tribulation go? Even the heavens are playing jokes?"

He was still holding three women in his arms, his body motionless, and he felt a pang of regret in his heart.

Ling Yuyan saw through his thoughts at a glance, raised her hand and gently pushed him away, her eyebrows and eyes reproachful.

"Tsk, what's the pity?"

"It's nothing."

Qin Quan quickly waved his hand, hurriedly suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind. He absolutely couldn't say those words out loud, otherwise it would be too superficial and frivolous.

"You filthy man, even in a life-or-death situation, you still have such dirty thoughts."

Ling Yuyan rolled her eyes at him, then quickly took out her clothes from her treasure bag and dressed herself.

Xia Ruoxi and Gao Yuan quickly dressed and put on their clothes. They had merged earlier to save their lives and overcome the tribulation. Now that the tribulation was over and the sky was clear, the boundaries were clear, and they could not give Qin Quan a chance to take advantage of them.

Qin Quan clenched his fist, still savoring the warmth of the moment, when a cool breeze swept over him, and he belatedly realized that he felt empty all over.

Gao Yuan caught a glimpse of his naked body, her cheeks instantly flushed red, and she lowered her head and spoke softly.

"Junior brother, put your clothes on first."

"Okay, okay."

Qin Quan wasn't embarrassed at all, and slowly and methodically took out his clothes and put them on.

Just then, four beams of seven-colored light pierced the night sky and precisely enveloped the four people.

The wounds left by the lightning began to heal at a visible speed, and the fatigue from the exhaustion of spiritual energy was swept away.

Xia Ruoxi, who had previously suffered the most damage, felt as if parched earth had received sweet rain, and her dantian was instantly filled with spiritual energy.

With the blessing of nature, the vegetation at the foot of the mountain began to grow wildly, and the dilapidated peak was transformed into a lush and new green landscape in an instant.

The four sat down and focused on restoring their cultivation.

The barriers in Xia Ruoxi and the other two's dantian were completely broken, and they steadily condensed their dantian, establishing their cultivation at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

In contrast, Qin Quan had nine golden cores in his dantian, which were enormous in size. Even with a massive influx of spiritual energy, his dantian was still not filled.

"A blessing from heaven should not be wasted."

Qin Quan showed no mercy, fully activating his Pure Yang Technique, drawing all the surrounding spiritual energy into his dantian to nourish his golden core and solidify its foundation.

Only after the afterglow completely dissipated did he stretch and stand up, clenching his fists, his internal power surging and his cultivation level increasing more than a hundredfold compared to the Foundation Establishment stage.

"carefree!"

"Congratulations, junior brother, on successfully embarking on the path to the Golden Core stage."

Xia Ruoxi and the other two stood up and offered their congratulations with slight smiles.

Qin Quan returned the greeting with a cupped-hand salute, his eyes and brows smiling.

"All three senior sisters have attained the Golden Core stage; congratulations!"

He was determined that as long as he didn't mention the matter of dual cultivation to overcome tribulation, his three senior sisters wouldn't feel embarrassed.

The three women exchanged glances, covered their mouths and chuckled softly. They were all filled with emotion, realizing that this tribulation had actually enabled all three of them to break through to the Golden Core stage.

A gentle night breeze was blowing.

Su Qingyan, dressed in white, flew in through the air, her figure aloof, and stood before the four people.

"Congratulations on breaking through to the Golden Core stage! From now on, the sky's the limit and your cultivation will be unimpeded."

"Disciple greets Master, thank you for your kindness."

Xia Ruoxi and the other two bowed respectfully.

Qin Quan, however, paled upon hearing this and immediately concealed everything.

He was already seething with anger, and seeing Su Qingyan only fueled his rage.

"Su Qingyan, do you know how dangerous that was? If the fourth lightning tribulation had struck, all four of us would have died without a trace, and you would have been left as a master without any support! Why didn't you discuss such a life-threatening matter with me beforehand?"

Su Qingyan's gaze was calm as she asked in a cold voice:

"Are you done talking?"

Qin Quan felt a lump in his throat, and the anger he had just accumulated was instantly suppressed.

"After saying that, he immediately left Ziyun Mountain."

Su Qingyan's expression was indifferent, and she went straight to the point.

"You destroyed Shen Shichang's dantian, and the Hidden Immortal Sect will never let this go."

"You have detained Shen Shichang for more than 24 hours. If Qing Shi Farm does not release him, the Hidden Immortal Sect's Golden Core experts will immediately besiege Jincheng. Do you think Jiang Yao can withstand that?"

In one sentence, Qin Quan was left speechless and unable to refute anything he wanted to say.
