Ultimate Village Doctor-Chapter 384 - 415 Heavenly Tribulation

Chapter Four Hundred Fifteen

The next day, a refreshed Long Xiaoshan returned to Longyang Village with Chun Tao.

Now that Hechuan City was undergoing turbulent undercurrents, it was safer in the village.

Having not returned to the village for several months, it had changed drastically, even the third-grade road leading to the village from the township was nearly complete, with a maximum of two more months till completion; the village’s school had also been completed, with a grand opening ceremony scheduled. Likewise, the villas and fitness squares planned for the village were in the midst of heated construction since Longyang Group was not short on funds, offering generous payments, which meant the construction teams worked day and night.

As soon as the village chief Xiaoshan returned to the village,

there truly were a lot of matters to report to him, and he quickly became immersed in the busyness of it all.

Looking at the greatly transformed village, a strong sense of pride surged in Long Xiaoshan’s heart.

No matter how good it was outside, this was his home, his roots.

After much difficulty, he managed to sort out all the work at hand.

In the middle of the night, Long Xiaoshan summoned Yue Ling.

A black specter emerged.

"Brother Yue, you’ve worked hard these days," Xiaoshan said. Ever since the last incident when Sage Mu from the Black Scale Gate covertly made a move on the village, Xiaoshan had him secretly guarding the village.

Yue Ling spoke indifferently, "It’s nothing, I am a ghost body and don’t get tired."

"This time I might still need your help, Brother Yue, but I’ve brought you something good," Xiaoshan said as he took out a porcelain bottle and poured out a black elixir pill.

As soon as the elixir pill appeared, the temperature around them dropped several degrees, and a strong ghost qi emanated from it.

"This is..." Yue Ling’s ghostly eyes suddenly brightened.

"This is a Sinister Pill, even more advanced than the Yin Yuan Pill. Brother Yue, give it a try," Xiaoshan tossed the pill over.

Yue Ling caught it and put it in his mouth.

Immediately, a ghost qi several times stronger than that of the Yin Yuan Pill surged into his body, and Yue Ling quickly rose into the air, devouring the Sinister Qi.

The night was as tranquil as water.

Under the bright moonlight,

rolling Black Sha filled the air, and Yue Ling’s body churned as if it covered a hundred meters, with ghostly winds howling and wolves wailing; fortunately, they were deep in the mountains, not disturbing anyone else.

The potency of the Sinister Pill was far greater than that of the Yin Yuan Pill. The Yin Yuan Pill was merely made from pure Yin herbs, whereas the Sinister Pill was crafted from rare Sinister Crystals, treasures condensed in lands steeped in Yin Sha. The efficacy of a single Sinister Pill was several times that of a Yin Yuan Pill.

Under the powerful effect of the Sinister Pill,

Yue Ling’s ghost body continuously strengthened and expanded.

It became more solid, showing signs of turning into a tangible form. After more than ten minutes, the turbulent ghost qi, which boiled like water, gradually stabilized.

Through a haze of black mist, Yue Ling’s figure emerged, indeed looking more like a true existence than before.

Yue Ling gave a fist salute and said, "Thanks, Xiaoshan, my cultivation has greatly increased."

Then he seemed to sigh, "It’s a pity, just a bit more, and I could have fully materialized and transformed into a Ghost King."

Xiaoshan chuckled, "Who said I only had one?"

With that, he took out another Sinister Pill.

Yue Ling was startled and then overjoyed.

Xiaoshan tossed the Sinister Pill to Yue Ling again, and Yue Ling immediately swallowed it. The ghost qi started to churn once more, this time even more fiercely, as if it had covered even the ghostly moon in the sky.

Suddenly, a black cloud condensed out of nowhere in the sky, and Xiaoshan’s eyes narrowed, sensing that the black cloud came very suddenly and seemed to carry a sense of oppression.

In the dead of night, under a clear sky without a cloud in sight, a black cloud suddenly appeared, which was rather abnormal.

Suddenly, a flash of purple light shone within the black cloud.

A faintly purple thunderbolt fell from the cloud.

"Not good, it’s a Heavenly Tribulation!"

Having absorbed the Blood Buddha inheritance, Xiaoshan had much more knowledge about things related to Xuan Gate Cultivators than an ordinary person; he knew that a breakthrough from a Cultivator could provoke a Heavenly Tribulation, like the transition from a Grand Spirit Master to a True Person comes with a True Person Tribulation.

Ghost cultivators had their own set of tribulations as well.

Since ghost cultivators do not enter the cycle of reincarnation and exist against the Heavenly Dao Laws, they are more likely to provoke tribulations. Therefore, the cultivation path of ghost cultivators is much harder than that of human cultivators.

Similarly, ghost cultivators face much tougher tribulations than human cultivators, as ghosts fear thunder and lightning the most, and this was not ordinary thunder but the Tribulation Lightning of the Heavenly Tribulation. Xiaoshan feared that Yue Ling might be scattered to the winds by this lightning strike.

Without a second thought, Xiaoshan rushed toward the purple Tribulation Lightning.

Boom!

Long Xiaoshan’s body was suddenly thrown out like a straw man struck by high-voltage electricity.

Yue Ling, just now under the Heavenly Tribulation, couldn’t even move and even felt the breath of annihilation, despairing beyond measure. He didn’t expect Long Xiaoshan to suddenly rush out and shield him from the Tribulation Lightning. He bellowed, "Xiaoshan."

A rod, eighteen feet in length, congealed in his hands, and he stabbed upwards into the sky.

After the Tribulation Lightning struck Long Xiaoshan, its power greatly diminished, and the remaining lightning descended.

Yue Ling’s body exploded with force.

Countless hair-thin purple lightning strands flowed around, and his scattered Ghost Body churned, emitting roars of resistance, tenacious and unyielding, as if struggling against the purple lightning and trying to reform.

Minutes later, the purple strands of lightning finally dissipated, and the ghostly mist roiled before gradually condensing into a seven-foot-tall figure with a jade-like face, dressed in ancient military armor, golden mouthpiece, lion’s mane belt, Suanni armor, tiger-head boots, and holding an eighteen-foot-long spear, majestic and imposing.

"Xiaoshan!"

Yue Ling let out a howling cry, landing more than ten meters away next to someone, with a stern look in his tiger-like eyes.

Long Xiaoshan was scorched all over.

His arms were almost entirely shattered, lying on the ground, life and death uncertain.

"Xiaoshan!"

Yue Ling lifted Long Xiaoshan, feeling his heartbeat, and quickly stimulated his heart channels with Ghost Qi.

Long Xiaoshan’s body shook slightly as his eyes slowly opened.

"Xiaoshan, you’re awake," Yue Ling’s expression lit up.

"Yue brother," Long Xiaoshan was now feeling as if all his bones were broken. He gathered his Divine Sense, opened his Space Ring, and took out an Elixir Pill and put it in his mouth.

"Yue brother, take me back first, I need to heal," Long Xiaoshan said.

Yue Ling nodded hurriedly, lifting Long Xiaoshan and conjuring a gust of yin wind before swiftly descending into the farm, taking Long Xiaoshan into a room. Yue Ling said with a deep voice of gratitude, "Xiaoshan, your great kindness is beyond thanks. I owe you my life."

"Yue brother, don’t make it sound so serious," Long Xiaoshan tried to smile, but the pain throughout his body was unbearable; the Heavenly Tribulation was too terrifying.

"You focus on healing; I’ll stand guard for you."

Yue Ling did not say much more. Among men, too many words can ring hollow; sometimes, a single sentence is enough.

Previously, the relationship between Yue Ling and Long Xiaoshan was more of a benefit exchange, with Long Xiaoshan helping Yue Ling increase his cultivation, and Yue Ling doing things for Long Xiaoshan. But now, with Long Xiaoshan having risked his life to save him from a calamity, their relationship had transformed.

Yue Ling’s body faded into the void.

Long Xiaoshan, meanwhile, sat difficultly on the bed. He tried several times to open his Heavenly Eye, but couldn’t manage; each time, whenever he invoked his Divine Power, the center of his brow would sting unbearably, causing his heart to sink—the physical injuries were one thing, but his Divine Soul had also been heavily damaged.

Fortunately, his Divine Soul had condensed into a Divine Body, otherwise with his level of power, directly facing the Heavenly Tribulation would have surely scattered his soul.

With his Divine Soul injured, he had no specific remedy.

This meant that, for a while, he might not be able to use the Heavenly Eye.

This was not good news for him.

Especially facing the threat of the Qiu Family, and with Qiu Haishan who could turn up at any time.

Thinking too much was of no use, and although he was injured, Yue Ling’s strength had increased significantly, so there was no need to panic even if Qiu Haishan arrived. Of course, Yue Ling was his trump card and best not used unless necessary.

Since his Divine Soul injury could not be healed in a short time,

he should first take care of his physical injuries.

Long Xiaoshan swallowed several Healing Pills, feeling an abnormal force inside him that was continuously damaging his body and hindering his recovery—it must be the residual force of the Heavenly Tribulation inside him.

Unless this force was expelled, swallowing any more Elixir Pills would be useless.

Long Xiaoshan barely managed to mobilize his True Qi, but with his meridians shattered, the small amount of True Qi was futile against the remnants of Tribulation Lightning.

Could it be that he couldn’t even recover from his physical injuries?

Long Xiaoshan was secretly anxious.

He tirelessly searched his mind for methods of healing, none seemed appropriate until at last, it seemed the Vajra Indestructible Technique could be of some use. The technique had the ability to temper and heal the body; according to the Blood Buddha inheritance, it was an unparalleled Buddha’s Gate method of body refining which at advanced levels, required tempering with True Fire and ice, walking over knife mountains and through seas of fire as if treading on flat ground.

Long Xiaoshan sat on the bed, adopting an imposing and dignified posture.

He began to cultivate the Vajra Indestructible Technique.

Several Chinese hours later.

Long Xiaoshan was pleasantly surprised to discover that the Vajra Indestructible Technique was indeed somewhat effective.

The abnormal force was disappearing. Perhaps ’disappearing’ was not quite right; it was being absorbed by his body.
