第三千八百八十九章 九转妙心丹

【Dear readers! More heart-stirring and unexpected books are coming your way. Please take care of yourselves!】

The sky was dark, with a giant vortex visible above, thick lightning continuously falling like a silver thread. In an instant, it transformed into a stormy sea that enveloped several miles around.

As for Drifting Cloud Valley, it lay at the eye of the storm.

Silver light danced wildly, and the sound of crackling electricity filled the air as the power of the laws surged everywhere. Lin Xuan's expression grew more grim.

Fortunately, even though the lightning was dancing wildly, golden notes could still be seen amidst the silver glow—indicating that Qinxin had not fallen.

This was the only comfort he had.

But Lin Xuan's brows remained furrowed. While it was commendable to not give up, his keen eyesight revealed no signs of the peril they faced. The hope for Qinxin to survive the heavenly tribulation seemed slim indeed.

Damn it, if only I could intervene!

Seeing his wife in such danger while he could do nothing but watch—it was a torment beyond words.

Lin Xuan's face showed nothing but helplessness. If he could, he would willingly take on the dangers and pain for her, but that was merely wishful thinking.

He was not afraid of being drawn into the heavenly tribulation, but he couldn't offer any assistance either, making him as frantic as a trapped ant.

"Master!"

Finally, Sister Shangguan spotted his presence. Their joy was evident on their faces, and Lin Xuan shared their relief when he confirmed they were unharmed.

But now that Qinxin's situation was dire, there was no time for them to catch up or reminisce.

Lin Xuan nodded at the sisters before turning back to extend his divine sense into Drifting Cloud Valley. "Qinxin, are you alright? Hold on."

He used the technique of transmitting sound through space, a common enough ability but one that required great effort given the chaotic nature of the tribulation and the raging power of the laws.

"Master!" Qinxin was overjoyed.

But this distraction made her situation even more perilous.

"Hold your ground, Qinxin. Don't be distracted," Lin Xuan urgently transmitted his voice.

She understood the importance of focusing on the tribulation, though she had momentarily lost control due to joy and surprise.

As a spirit-splitter cultivator, especially one at the top tier, she could easily manage to spare some of her divine sense for this task.

"Alright, that's good."

His wife's composure reassured Lin Xuan. He organized his thoughts and continued transmitting his voice into Qinxin's ears.

What he said were insights from his own tribulation experiences—simple yet profound, containing the wisdom of great principles.

For Qinxin, it was like a timely rain.

If spoken outside, each word would be worth its weight in gold. Lin Xuan had already reached the realm of domain strength, comparable to scattered immortals and demon kings.

His insights from the tribulation could significantly increase her chances of survival if she fully comprehended them.

But even with these insights, Qinxin's situation remained grim. In a short while, the tribulation became more intense, fraught with danger at every step.

What should be done?

Lin Xuan was at a loss.

The lightning grew denser, like a storm of thunder and lightning. Even his accumulated experience might not help much in such circumstances.

Boom!

Another loud noise echoed as several silver snakes emerged from the vortex above, each about an arm's length thick, crackling with electricity before converging into a giant dragon.

With its mouth wide open, it seemed ready to devour anyone who stood in its path. Its tail whipped around, gathering countless threads of law power and charging towards Drifting Cloud Valley.

"Qinxin, catch this!"

Under the backdrop of the tribulation, Lin Xuan's face turned pale.

But a light flashed through his mind as he cast out a fiery spiritual light from his sleeve toward the center of Drifting Cloud Valley. He did not intend to block the lightning; that would only worsen Qinxin's situation.

However, sending some medicinal pills was possible.

Though spiritual elixirs were precious, they should be used judiciously. As an old saying went: "Good steel must be used where it counts."

Given the dire moment, Lin Xuan chose to send a Nine-Turn Marvelous Heart Pill.

This pill was renowned in the Three Realms, capable of instantly replenishing a cultivator's mana and increasing its limit by up to 1.5 times.

While valuable, such elixirs were not rare. Unlike other pills that could cause side effects, this one posed no risks.

Lin Xuan had only a few such pills, but in critical battles, they could be lifesaving.

But he wasn't about to hesitate now.

With his extraordinary abilities, he had just managed to send the pill at the last moment when Qinxin needed it most.

Qinxin didn't know what the pill was, but she trusted her husband. She swallowed it without hesitation.

Instantly, a warm current spread from her abdomen and flowed throughout her body.

Mana surged in her dantian, making her pale face turn rosy.

This was now or never!

Qinxin took deep breaths as mana runes flowed from her fingertips. Her weakened melody suddenly became strong and golden notes appeared amidst the tribulation lightning.

The notes formed a sequence that sounded like the call of a phoenix.

"Phoenix's Call to Heaven!"

Qinxin played an ancient masterpiece.

With the inspiring music, the golden notes converged into a giant phoenix.
