Feng Jiu was carried back to her own room, where her mother, Zhu Hua, washed her up and changed her into clean clothes before leaving her to rest in peace.
The Soul-Nourishing Bead had spent three months restoring a bit of magic to Feng Jiu, only for it to be wiped out entirely by the heavenly thunder. The nature of an ascension tribulation, however, is that it requires vast amounts of magic from the inner core to withstand it. Once the tribulation is successfully overcome, spiritual rain falls from the heavens to nourish the land. A massive surge of spiritual energy pours into the inner core, raising one's cultivation to a whole new level.
While Feng Jiu rested, a spiritual rain fell over Qingqiu, blessing its people. At the same time, spiritual energy from heaven and earth converged within Feng Jiu's body, healing her thunder injuries as well as the wounds she had previously suffered in the Nine Heavens.
