Chapter 387 - 386, Heavenly Tribulation

Chapter 387: 386, Heavenly Tribulation

The Mid Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator knew he had encountered a tough opponent and regretted his earlier greed that had provoked this man and woman, "Esteemed fellow daoist, please show mercy! I’ll give you all the possessions I have on me," he pleaded to Lu Hanmo through telepathy.

Lu Hanmo remained unmoved, scattering the Formation Flags in his hand once more.

Suddenly, the sight of Sha Long going berserk unfolded. The dense, tiny grains of sand, like the blades within a blender, dispelled the cultivators into nothingness in an instant, leaving behind only their four Storage Rings and not a single Yuan Soul.

Lu Hanmo waved his hand to collect the Formation Flags and the four Storage Rings, then handed the Storage Rings to Luo Shu beside him, "Shushu, keep these."

"Okay!" Luo Shu did not put on any airs and, after a quick sweep through the Storage Rings’ contents with her Divine Sense, she stored the rings away directly. The rings contained no shortage of Elixirs; unfortunately, none were Nascent Soul Pills.

Turning around, they saw the coachman had already driven the beast carriage out of sight.

They could only shake their heads with a wry smile and continue on foot towards their destination. After all, they weren’t far from Autumn Leaf Town now.

After roughly two hours of walking, Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo saw a small town appearing before them. Perhaps because the Blood Sea Region was about to open, the town was bustling with activity, and the streets were teeming with cultivators bustling to and fro.

Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo entered a shop they came across.

"Do you have Nascent Soul Pills for sale here?" Luo Shu inquired.

"Sorry! We’ve run out of Nascent Soul Pills. However, there is a highly skilled Alchemist who has arrived in town. If you can gather the necessary Herbs, you could ask him to concoct it for you. He’s currently staying at the Welcoming Fortune Inn, you can inquire there," the shopkeeper replied warmly.

Luo Shu thanked him and walked out of the shop with Lu Hanmo. Although she was capable of Alchemy, her level hadn’t reached the point where she could concoct Nascent Soul Pills. Luckily, she had all the necessary Spirit Grass for concocting them.

When they arrived at the Welcoming Fortune Inn, they saw a line of cultivators waiting to ask the Alchemist to concoct Elixirs for them.

"I’d better get in touch with Yun Han and the others first, maybe they have some Nascent Soul Pills," Luo Shu said, feeling rather helpless.

Lu Hanmo nodded, "I’ll stay here and queue up in the meantime."

"Okay!" With that response, Luo Shu stepped aside and began to contact Yun Han with her communication talisman.

After a long wait, there was no response from Yun Han.

Could something have happened? Luo Shu frowned, put away her communication talisman with resignation, and went back to Lu Hanmo’s side to join him in the queue.

The Rate at which the Alchemist concocted Elixirs was incredibly fast; he could complete each batch of Elixirs roughly within the Duration of an Incense Stick.

When it was Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo’s turn, they entered the room and presented the Spirit Grass needed to concoct the Nascent Soul Pills to the Alchemist.

"Master, please assist us in concocting a batch of Nascent Soul Pills," Luo Shu spoke up. The Alchemist was a middle-aged man with a slightly weathered appearance who looked quite ordinary. He would never stand out in a crowd.

The Alchemist glanced at Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo, "The fee will be one Toothless Stone."

"Toothless Stone?" Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo revealed a hint of confusion, as they seemingly did not possess any Toothless Stones on them.

"It’s the kind of stone you use to conceal your cultivation level," said the Alchemist.

Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo suddenly understood, and Luo Shu handed over a small chunk of the leftover Toothless Stone that was used last time to refine the Concealment Talisman to the Alchemist.

The Alchemist examined the Toothless Stone, nodded, and took the Spirit Grass that Luo Shu had just placed on the table to start the alchemy process.

Luo Shu watched the Alchemist’s pill-refining techniques, silently comparing them with her own. The Alchemist’s movements were proficient, placing the Spirit Grass in sequence, slowly melting the Herbs with Divine Sense, separating the Medicinal Liquid from the residue, discarding the residue, and amalgamating the liquid.

In less than the Duration of an Incense Stick, the Medicinal Liquid in the Pill Furnace began to emit a fragrant scent, and the Alchemist cast an Alchemic Formula. Twelve flawless white Elixirs flew out from the Alchemy Furnace and accurately landed in the Jade Bottle in his hand.

As customary, the Alchemist took half of the Elixirs as the fee for pill refining, and handed the remaining six Nascent Soul Pills to Luo Shu.

"Thank you!" Luo Shu took the Elixirs and thanked him. Then, along with Lu Hanmo, she left the Welcoming Fortune Inn, planning to find a place to make a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.

The two came to the outskirts of Autumn Leaf Town, beside a deserted lake.

Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo began to set up their respective Formations. Advancing to Nascent Soul involves a minor Heavenly Tribulation, which could cause great harm to a person without the protection of a Formation.

After Lu Hanmo finished setting up the Formation, he saw that Luo Shu had also completed hers. He stepped forward to inspect it, waved out several Formation Flags, and reinforced Luo Shu’s Formation once more. In terms of Formations, the one she had set up was already quite formidable. Just reinforcing it a little could minimize the damage from the Heavenly Tribulation to her. He definitely didn’t want to see her get hurt.

"Let’s begin!" Luo Shu said with a smile to Lu Hanmo, stepped into the Formation, and sat down cross-legged.

Lu Hanmo nodded with a smile, and after Luo Shu entered the Formation, he set up another defensive formation next to hers to ensure her safety before returning to his own Formation, feeling reassured.

Luo Shu took a Nascent Soul Pill and began to circulate the Spiritual Power within her body. Before long, she felt the color of the Spiritual Power inside her change, turning from the original pale white to pure white, as well as the Spiritual Power itself thickening from the fineness of a hair to that of a chopstick.

The Spiritual Power began to gather, relentlessly assaulting the stronger barrier repeatedly, time after time...

Luo Shu didn’t know how many times she had tried or how much time had passed until she heard a "crack!" A feeling of unprecedented comfort and power rushed through her.

Without the chance to be happy, Luo Shu noticed that the sky had begun to cloud over, hinting at the brewing lightning. She knew that her first encounter with Heavenly Tribulation during cultivation was imminent.

Indeed, after a short while, thunder rumbled in the sky.

Giving Luo Shu little time to prepare, nine streaks of lightning as thick as chopsticks struck down, hitting her without any deviation, though she did not sustain any injuries due to the protection of the defensive formation.

Meanwhile, the Spiritual Power inside Luo Shu circulated even faster, all of it converging in her Dantian to form a white orb. She knew she was about to form her Nascent Soul Body, and with it, she could create her own Clone in the future.

Not long after the first wave of the Heavenly Tribulation, the second wave began to brew in the sky. Ascending to Nascent Soul involved enduring three rounds of Tribulation, the stronger the Tribulation experienced, the stronger the Nascent Soul formed would be.
