Chapter 138 - 138 Tribulation Success
Chapter 138: Tribulation Success
Afterwards, he took advantage of this time to recover for a moment.
Less than the time it takes for a pot of tea to brew, the tribulation clouds in the sky began to churn again, and Elder Yu also hurriedly braced himself, commanding his magical treasure to meet the tribulation lightning.
The sixth bolt of tribulation lightning struck down, wounding Elder Yu slightly, but it seemed he was not seriously harmed.
Then, the seventh…
The seventh bolt was much more ferocious than the ones before it, and this time Elder Yu was seriously injured.
After the lightning had passed, Elder Yu even took out two elixir medicines and stuffed them into his mouth.
The eighth…
The great formation that had been helping Elder Yu withstand the lightning crumbled, and even the shield-shaped magical treasure that protected him showed some cracks.
This time Elder Yu was severely injured, and Lin Jing, looking over, saw multiple injuries on Elder Yu’s body. In the worst places, you could even see stark white bones protruding out.
Lin Jing couldn’t help but frown, afraid that at this rate, the ninth and last tribulation lightning would be very difficult to overcome.
However, Lin Jing knew that Elder Yu still had elixir medicines. He could only hope that Elder Yu had other preparations; otherwise it would be difficult to endure to the end under these circumstances.
Sure enough, after the eighth bolt of lightning, this time Elder Yu directly took out three Pure Elixirs and placed them into his mouth.
This move caused a stir among the onlookers witnessing the tribulation, surprised that Elder Yu actually had so many Pure Elixirs.
Especially the patriarch of the Li Family, who felt even worse in his heart.
If that clan member of the Li Family had so many Pure Elixirs, perhaps they wouldn’t have suffered such a soul-shattering fate.
However, the tribulation lightning was slow in coming this time.
Everyone knew that the ninth bolt of lightning would be the most fierce one.
It is said that the ninth lightning is more powerful than the first eight combined.
At this time, the tribulation clouds in the sky were still gathering, and the area they spanned was growing larger, while the thunderous rumbling in the clouds grew incessantly. The aura they emitted became increasingly terrifying.
Just as the atmosphere reached its most oppressive point, Elder Yu rose to his feet and hurriedly took out a gourd-shaped magical treasure from his Storage Bag.
Then he held the gourd with one hand, while commanding the cracked shield-shaped magical treasure to fly above his head.
“Boom”
Finally, after brewing for a long time, the last bolt of lightning plummeted down, as thick as a bucket, shooting straight for Elder Yu’s head.
The moment the lightning touched the shield-shaped magical treasure, it shattered under the lightning’s force, and the lightning continued to fall unabated.
But before the lightning reached Elder Yu’s head, the gourd he held in his hand split open, and then transformed into a ray of light that protected Elder Yu.
“A Defensive Prohibition Device!”
Someone who recognized the object exclaimed.
Then the lightning fell straight down, and surprisingly, it did not immediately shatter the ray of light produced by the Defensive Prohibition Device.
However, this last bolt of lightning was not a single strike, but persisted for a brief moment.
This bolt of lightning came suddenly…
It seemed to last a long time, but in reality, it also disappeared swiftly. As soon as the lightning had dispersed, Lin Jing quickly turned his attention to the middle of the stony beach.
At that moment, Elder Yu was charred all over, sitting motionless on a pile of rubble.
Lin Jing concentrated spiritual power in his eyes and looked over…
Upon seeing the slight rise and fall of Elder Yu’s chest, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although severely injured, it was clear.
Elder Yu had successfully passed the tribulation.
Soon, the tribulation clouds in the sky also gradually dispersed, returning to the clarity of before.
“Elder Yu actually succeeded…” Huang Qingling spoke.
“Mhm.”
Lin Jing nodded.
At this time, a few people approached and said:
“Elder Yu’s successful tribulation is indeed a cause for celebration.”
“Lin Daoyou, we must get together more often in the future…”
As for the behavior of these people, Lin Jing was not surprised since they were from various families. He couldn’t well say anything to their faces, so he casually gave non-committal responses and sent them on their way.
Elder Bai was also being bombarded with endless congratulations, to which he responded one by one.
At this time…
On the stony beach, Elder Yu was still recovering. This time was a crucial moment for stabilizing his cultivation after the breakthrough, and nobody dared to come forth and disturb him.
And so it went, until about an hour later Elder Yu’s breathing gradually settled down, and at the same time, some of the blackened areas on his body began to flake off.
Afterward, Elder Yu’s aura began to slowly climb, growing stronger and stronger.
In the end, it was a sweep of Divine Sense that passed by.
Elder Yu opened his eyes, and an aura unique to a Golden Core Cultivator emerged from him.
“Elder Yu has fully recovered, let’s go over…” Huang Qingling suggested. “Wait a moment, there are too many people right now,” Lin Jing said.
“That’s fine…” Huang Qingling nodded.
It wasn’t long before other people bid farewell and left, leaving only a few of them still there.
At this time on the Shattered Stone Beach, Elder Yu was conversing with several immortals.
By then, many people had already arrived.
At this moment, Elder Bai spoke, “Today, our Yuebaolou’s Pill Master has successfully overcome the Tribulation, advancing to a Golden Core Immortal.”
“To celebrate, I have decided to hold a grand banquet tomorrow at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, and I hope all of you will honor us with your presence.”
In the crowd, several people cupped their fists and spoke. “Rest assured, Elder Bai, we will definitely attend.”
“Congratulations to Elder Yu…”
“Congratulations, congratulations…”
Elder Yu also responded with a cupped fist salute to each.
Finally, after a round of pleasantries, all these people left, even the Wu Cai Immortal and Li Family Patriarch made excuses to depart.
Leaving only the protectors, those few Golden Core Immortals from earlier.
Only then did Lin Jing and his group make their way over.
Before they got close, they heard the immortals discussing something.
“I’m telling you, Elder Yu, you’re not being fair. Where did you get so many Pure Elixirs?
The speaker was the Zhang Family Patriarch, who had already taken the Lifespan Extension Pill, and seemed somewhat younger and in much better condition than before.
“Actually, it’s no harm telling you.” Elder Bai spoke up at this moment.
“Elder Yu was lucky, he encountered the Elixir Valley Heir in the black market and bought them from him.”
“A total of five…”
“Tsk tsk… it cost 300 Spirit Stones…”
Elder Bai pretended to be pained and said. The others gasped when they heard this:
“Only 300 Spirit Stones…”
Li Family’s old grandmaster was rather speechless before he finally said: “Could it be that you are talking about Superior Grade Spirit Stones?”
“Where would we get so many Superior Grade Spirit Stones in the Nanming
Domain, of course they are Midium Grade Spirit Stones.”
It was then that Elder Bai revealed his true colors, speaking proudly.
“I knew it, you old chap…”
“Every time it’s the same, you get a bargain and still act cute.” Li Family’s old grandmaster looked at Elder Bai with disdain.
At this point, the Zhang Family Patriarch spoke up:
“300 Midium Grade Spirit Stones for five Pure Elixirs, that’s too cheap.” “Do you have any more? If you have any left, give them all to me, I’ll take them.”
Elder Bai looked puzzledly at Zhang Family Patriarch and said:
“Your family doesn’t have anyone undergoing Tribulation, what do you want those elixir medicines for…”
“Ahem…
At that moment, Li Family’s old grandmaster gave a light cough, and everyone looked towards him.
“Previously, I owed Lin Daoyou a huge favor.”
“I gave him that Cultivation True Elixir..”
