211: Su Ran was shocked

Su Can frowned as he looked at the silver needle artifact in his hand, which had turned pitch black.

These silver needles were, in the end, just ordinary embroidery needles melted together; their foundation was too weak.

Although he had refined them, they were still strong on the outside but weak on the inside, unable to withstand much abuse.

However, as it was the first artifact he had refined since he began cultivating, he still felt a bit of regret.

"These silver needle artifacts are Wasted (useless now)," Su Can muttered, casually tossing the charred needles to his feet.

Su Ran, who had witnessed all of this, slowly turned her head in shock, her eyes stiff as she looked at Su Can.

"Su Can, am I seeing things? Did a lightning bolt just strike us?"

"And you released dozens of silver needles to block it?"

"Is it real? Or am I hallucinating?" Su Ran was somewhat incredulous.

Su Can suddenly smiled at her words: "You're not seeing things, and it's not a hallucination. A lightning bolt really did strike us just now."

"See for yourself!" Su Can finished speaking, flicking his finger towards the pond. A stream of True Qi, like a sharp arrow, pierced through the void.

The next moment, a flash of light appeared above the lotus pond, and a thin light curtain emerged again.

The light curtain twisted, and with a crack, a lightning bolt as thick as a chopstick suddenly appeared and struck towards them.

"Ah!!!" Su Ran screamed in fright again. This time, unlike the first, she didn't just stand there dumbfounded but turned and threw herself into Su Can's arms.

"Don't be afraid. This is lightning triggered by a formation. It has a range and distance limit. As long as we are not within its attack range, it won't strike us," Su Can said, holding Su Ran and patting her back, smiling calmly.

"Formation?" Su Ran had heard this word before and knew what it implied. Her face showed incredible shock.

"That's right!" Su Can nodded, "Now you can finally believe that I am a cultivator, can't you?"

"I believe you, I believe you." Su Ran was shocked internally, saying she believed him, but her mind still found it hard to accept.

It was too fantastical, like a dream.

Especially Su Can, who, with a raise of his hand, arranged dozens of silver needles like soldiers, flying into the air to resist the lightning.

Is this the method of a cultivator?

Su Ran's mind was in a jumble, and she didn't even know why she was there.

Su Can, on the other hand, was observing the surrounding environment, trying to discern the method of the formation.

He was now certain that there was something extraordinary hidden within the lotus pond.

It was just that everything inside was blocked by the formation.

"Cultivation Cave Abode!" A thought surfaced in Su Can's mind, making him slightly excited.

"I didn't expect that, just as I thought, entering these famous mountains and great rivers would actually lead me to the cultivation residence of a cultivator!" Su Can grew more and more excited as he spoke.

The spiritual energy on Earth was depleted, and cultivation had been cut off.

He, Su Can, was practically the only cultivator. Now, being able to encounter the cultivation residence of a fellow cultivator was undoubtedly a spatial-temporal exchange for him.

After this brief buffer, Su Ran also came to her senses.

She looked at the vermilion pavilion in the center of the lotus pond, then at the empty sky, and her intelligent mind immediately understood.

"Su Can, did we accidentally stumble upon a secret cultivation ground of fellow cultivators?"

"That's right. The lightning just now was a formation set up by the other party to guard the cave abode. Once a stranger enters a certain range, it will trigger the formation and launch an attack."

Su Can looked up and said, "However, this formation is too ancient and has long lost its original power, otherwise, the two of us would be in danger."

"This is truly an eye-opener. So, cultivators are this mysterious." Su Ran's ability to accept was very strong, and the way she looked at Su Can also changed.

"All this time, the cultivators I imagined were like the shamans of Northeast China or the geomancers of Taipei!"

"But everything I've seen and heard today has truly opened my eyes and refreshed my understanding of cultivators."

"It turns out that true cultivators who have developed their abilities can be so powerful, capable of controlling lightning at will and annihilating everything!" Su Ran took a deep breath as she said this.

Recalling the power of the formation and the methods Su Can had displayed, her original worldview began to change.

Su Can also nodded, "Since I've let you see all of this in advance, I won't have to slowly prepare you for it later."

"The reality is as you see, my strength is not as simple as it appears on the surface."

"As for the family problems you're facing, if you're willing, I can easily help you solve them."

"..." Su Ran felt complex emotions. This world was just so unfair.

"So, does that mean my ancient prescription is just child's play in your eyes?" Su Ran suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask.

"Do you want me to tell you the truth?" Su Can smiled.

"Go ahead, what kind of situations haven't I seen?" Su Ran said with a bitter smile.

"Alright, then I'll tell you the truth. Your so-called ancient prescription doesn't even enter my eyes. If you want, I can combine dozens of traditional Chinese medicine beauty formulas for you in minutes."

"And they're all made from very common medicinal ingredients on the market." Su Can wasn't afraid of discouraging her at this point. Since she had personally witnessed the secrets of cultivation, what else could she not accept?

"
