Chapter 867 Master’s Tribulation

“Doctor Chen, what’s wrong?”

Wei Shanhai also came out of the courtyard, looking puzzled.

He followed the old doctor’s gaze and looked up at the sky.

When he saw the silver flying boat, his mouth dropped open.

He recognized it; it was Lu Qing’s flying boat magic weapon.

“Young Master Lu is back!”

Wei Shanhai had barely finished speaking when he saw Lu Qing come out with Xiao Yan and the others, then put away the silver flying boat.

The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of them.

“Master, your disciple has returned.” Lu Qing first bowed to the old doctor, then said to Wei Shanhai, “Senior Wei, it’s been a long time.”

“Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Wei.”

Xiao Yan and Xiao Li also bowed obediently and greeted him.

“You’ve returned quickly. I just sent you a message not long ago, and you’re back so soon. It seems that your cultivation has improved a lot since this trip.”

The old doctor was both pleased and surprised.

How long after he used the inter-domain communication talisman to send out the news of his impending tribulation, Lu Qing returned with Xiao Yan and the others in the blink of an eye.

To be able to traverse the vast starry sky and return to his home world in such a short time,

it was conceivable that Lu Qing’s cultivation must have made a significant breakthrough during his years of travel.

Moreover, although Xiao Yan and Xiao Li didn’t reveal their auras, with the old doctor’s keen spiritual sense, he still sensed a different kind of essence emanating from them.

Presumably, the cultivation levels of these little ones had also improved considerably.

“Master’s eyes are sharp. A few days ago, I made some breakthroughs,” Lu Qing said with a smile. “Xiao Yan, Xiao Li, and Xiao Bai also recently passed the tribulation of the primordial spirit and condensed their primordial spirits.”

“Indeed, Xiao Yan and the others have all achieved the primordial spirit realm?” the old doctor exclaimed in realization.

His senses were correct; the little ones had indeed made a great breakthrough.

“Xiao Yan and Xiao Li are already primordial spirit masters?”

Wei Shan Hai, standing to the side, was filled with shock upon hearing this.

He hadn’t expected that Xiao Yan and the others, after traveling with Lu Qing for decades, would return having already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm!

Such a speed of cultivation was simply unbelievable!

But the next moment, Wei Shanhai heard even more shocking news.

He heard Lu Qing say, “Master, you said you were going to prepare for the Nascent Soul Tribulation, when is that?”

“Probably in the next few days,” the old doctor said. “But since you’ve returned so quickly, tomorrow is fine too.”

With the old doctor’s control over his own power, he could actually postpone the tribulation for ten or fifteen days if he wanted.

But since Lu Qing and the others had returned, there was no need for that.

“Doctor Chen is also going to undergo the Nascent Soul Tribulation?”

Wei Shanhai’s shock deepened, and he couldn’t help but look at the old doctor.

Although he had always known that the old doctor’s cultivation was unfathomable, and that he had long ago been a Golden Core Realm expert, he

simply couldn’t see through his specific cultivation level.

But he hadn’t expected that the old doctor had actually reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm and was about to undergo the Nascent Soul Tribulation.

“It seems Master is already confident,” Lu Qing said with a smile. “It just so happens that I’ve gained some insights into the art of talismans in recent years, which can lend Master a helping hand.”

That evening, Lu Qing handed some talismans he had crafted to the old doctor.

Just like the ones he had given to Xiao Yan and Xiao Li, the talismans Lu Qing gave were mainly for healing and defense.

He also had offensive talismans, but he didn’t take them out.

He knew that with his master’s personality, he wouldn’t rely on external forces to fight against the heavenly tribulation.

Giving too many offensive talismans would only distract his master.

“Master’s cultivation is profound, and his swordsmanship is divine. I’m afraid a mere tribulation of the primordial spirit won’t be able to harm you,” Lu Qing said with a smile. “Keep these talismans with you, just in case. It’s best if you don’t need them.”

The old doctor took the talismans and examined them carefully.

He knew that Lu Qing’s cultivation was extremely broad.

He was proficient in everything, from pills to talismans.

The talismans he was currently producing were undoubtedly extraordinary.

The spiritual light flowing over the talismans in his hand was pure and profound, faintly revealing a mysterious Daoist charm; they were clearly not ordinary talismans.

He didn’t ask any more questions, picked up one of them, and began to study it carefully.

The old doctor was particularly interested in healing talismans.

He himself was an extremely kind and benevolent doctor, and his interest in the art of medicine even extended to his cultivation.

Over the years, although his cultivation had continuously improved, his greatest concern had always been his ability to heal the sick and save lives.

The healing talisman in his hand contained extremely pure life force.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that if this talisman were used on a seriously injured person, it would be enough to bring them back from the dead.

“The crafting technique of this talisman…”

the old doctor murmured to himself as he studied it, his expression so focused that he seemed to have forgotten everything around him.

Seeing this, Lu Qing didn’t disturb them and quietly led Xiao Yan and Xiao Li out of the cave.

He knew his master’s temperament; once immersed in matters related to medicine, he would forget everything else.

Right now, the old doctor was probably studying the healing talisman late into the night.

“Brother, Grandpa Chen is so focused,” Xiao Yan whispered.

Lu Qing smiled. “Master is always like this. Let’s go home.”

He led Xiao Yan and Xiao Li, and in one step, they were back home.

The small courtyard was still the same as before.

The paint on the gate was a little faded, but it was very clean.

The trees in the courtyard were thicker and more lush than before, their branches and leaves covering half the courtyard.

Nourished by spiritual energy, they had also transformed into spirit trees.

The courtyard was still clean and tidy, without a single weed.

Clearly, even in the years they had been gone, the villagers still regularly came to clean the courtyard.

Lu Qing stood in the courtyard, looking at everything familiar before him, a faint sense of emotion welling up inside him.

Decades had passed, and everything here remained unchanged.

Yet, it also seemed that everything had changed.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Li, however, didn’t seem to have many feelings. They immediately got busy as soon as they entered.

Xiao Yan tidied the house, while Xiao Li remained perched on Lu Qing’s shoulder.

Lu Qing sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard, gazing up at the night sky.

He sat quietly, thinking of nothing, simply enjoying this rare tranquility.

The next morning, just as dawn broke, the group set off.

The location for their tribulation was chosen deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains behind the village.

The tribulation of the primordial spirit was no small matter; once the tribulation clouds formed, they covered an extremely wide area, and the pervasive tribulation energy would affect all living beings within a radius of hundreds of miles.

If it were too close to the village, the villagers would inevitably be affected.

The old doctor didn’t notify anyone, only taking Wei Shan Hai with him.

“Dr. Chen, you’re being too polite,” Wei Shanhai muttered as he followed behind. “Such a big event as transcending tribulation should at least be known to the villagers so they can cheer you on.”

The old doctor smiled faintly: “The tribulation of the primordial spirit relies on one’s own inner strength, not on others’ encouragement. If they know, they’ll just worry.”

Wei Shanhai opened his mouth, as if to say something, but ultimately kept quiet.

He knew the old doctor was right. Outsiders couldn’t help with tribulations like this; even if they knew, they could only worry helplessly.

Deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains, there stood a towering mountain that seemed to pierce the clouds.

That solitary peak, surrounded by open space, was the perfect place for a tribulation.

Lu Qing flew to the summit, surveyed the surroundings, and then raised his hand in a gesture of intent.

Streams of magical power surged from his palm, seeping into the mountain. A moment later, the entire earth trembled slightly, as if something was awakening underground.

“What is Young Master Lu doing?” Wei Shanhai asked, puzzled.

Xiao Yan explained, “Brother is channeling the earth’s spiritual energy to set up a tribulation formation for Grandpa Chen, to give him a helping hand.”

When she and Xiao Li were undergoing their tribulations, her brother had also set up a grand formation, making their tribulations much easier.

As soon as she finished speaking, beams of spiritual light appeared around the summit, then dimmed again, as if everything before had been an illusion.

But in Wei Shanhai’s heart, an indescribable sense of security arose.

“This is the array of heaven and earth.” Lu Qing stopped and landed in front of the old doctor. “When Master undergoes his tribulation, if he has the strength, he can mobilize the power of the array to assist him. Of course, if not, this array can also help you resist some of the aftershocks.”

The old doctor nodded without saying anything more.

He took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the mountaintop.

Lu Qing, along with Xiao Yan and the others, retreated to a distant mountain peak to observe from afar.

Wei Shanhai also followed, nervously watching the old doctor’s figure on the mountaintop.

“Doctor Chen… will he succeed?” he couldn’t help but ask.

Lu Qing glanced at him and said calmly, “Master has cultivated for many years and has a profound foundation. A mere tribulation of the primordial spirit is no match for him.”

Hearing this, Wei Shanhai felt slightly relieved.

But he still stared nervously at the mountaintop, not daring to blink.

On the mountaintop, the old doctor stood quietly.

He looked up at the sky, his expression calm, as if he was about to face not a life-or-death tribulation, but an ordinary thunderstorm.

A moment later, he slowly closed his eyes, his aura surging, drawing upon the wisp of tribulation energy from the darkness.

The next instant, a vast wave emanated from him, soaring into the sky.

It was the full release of his cultivation, suppressed for many years.

A tremendous upheaval suddenly resounded in the sky.

The sound was immense, penetrating to the depths of the soul, causing one’s mind to tremble.

Immediately afterward, the once clear sky began to darken rapidly.

Countless wisps of tribulation energy surged from the depths of the void, converging and swirling above the old doctor’s head, gradually forming a massive vortex.

This vortex covered an area of hundreds of miles, slowly rotating, like a giant eye looking down upon the tiny figure below.

“A tribulation vortex…” Xiao Yan murmured.

She had recently survived her primordial spirit tribulation and was intimately familiar with this scene.

But looking at the old doctor’s tribulation vortex, she suddenly felt that her own tribulation seemed much weaker.

That vortex was simply too large.

It was so vast it almost covered the entire field of vision, the swirling clouds seeming to devour the entire sky.

Moreover, the aura emanating from the vortex was far more profound than anything she had faced before.

“Grandpa Chen is amazing…” Xiao Yan exclaimed sincerely.

Lu Qing remained silent, simply watching.

His gaze pierced through the thick clouds, landing on the tribulation clouds gathering deep within the vortex.

At the same time, with a slight thought, he activated his supernatural ability.

“I wonder what level Master’s tribulation is.”

The tribulation of the primordial spirit is formed from the rules of the Great Dao and does not change based on the location of the person undergoing the tribulation.

Therefore, whether a cultivator in a small world or a large world, the tribulation they face is only related to their own accumulation.

Master’s tribulation lightning was incredibly powerful, surpassing even Xiao Yan’s and the others.

Furthermore, he cultivated the rare path of water and fire, so the primordial spirit tribulation he was experiencing this time was likely even stronger than Xiao Li’s tribulation.

Soon, under Lu Qing’s gaze, several pieces of information floated out of his sight.

Just as he finished reading those messages, the tribulation clouds within the vortex of heavenly tribulation began to condense.

A dazzling purple light bloomed at the center of the vortex.

“It really is a purple tribulation cloud, and this purple aura is even more intense than Xiao Li’s tribulation back then.”

Lu Qing smiled, not surprised at all.

He knew all too well how profound his master’s foundation was. Don’t be fooled

by the fact that his master had always cultivated in his home world and rarely fought with others.

His master’s comprehension was extremely high, and his talent in cultivation was astounding, even to Lu Qing’s.

Not only had he comprehended the Dao of Water and Fire, but his understanding of swordsmanship was also extremely profound.

The sword domain he had comprehended back then had greatly benefited Lu Qing.

It could be said that if Lu Qing hadn’t possessed special abilities, his achievements in cultivation would have been far inferior to his master’s.

Therefore, even if he didn’t leave his home and just stayed in Jiuli Village to cultivate, his master’s cultivation level still progressed by leaps and bounds.

He was no slower than Xiao Yan and the others who followed him and had ample cultivation resources.

And because cultivation is accumulated bit by bit through one’s own insights, Master’s foundation is extremely solid.

It’s not surprising that such a massive heavenly tribulation could be triggered.

“I wonder how Master will deal with this tribulation,”

Lu Qing said, his eyes filled with anticipation.

He wasn’t worried about his master’s safety.

Not to mention his master’s incredibly profound foundation, the heavenly tribulation might not even be able to harm him.

The preparations he had made for his master were more than enough for him to safely pass this tribulation.

Therefore, he was more eager to see how his master would overcome this tribulation.

Because in the information he had just gathered, he had seen something interesting.

Boom!

As Lu Qing anticipated, the tribulation clouds high in the sky underwent a new change.

The purple tribulation clouds began to flash with lightning, their terrifying power sweeping across all directions, causing the entire sky to tremble.

“Is this the tribulation of the primordial spirit?”

Wei Shanhai, who had followed, was only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. Feeling the power of the heavenly tribulation, his mind trembled, and even his legs shook.

This was only because he was by Lu Qing’s side, shielding him from most of the tribulation’s pressure.

Otherwise, he would probably have already fainted from this terrifying power.

Even so, Wei Shanhai was already terrified.

He hadn’t expected the legendary Nascent Soul Tribulation to be so terrifying.

“Senior Wei, be careful, the first tribulation lightning is about to fall.”

Just then, Lu Qing’s voice rang out.

At the same time, with a deafening thunderclap, the tribulation lightning that had been brewing in the tribulation clouds finally descended from the heavens. (End of Chapter)
