The damaged mountain peak, after yet another round of heavenly tribulation, became even more shattered.
Even the mountain itself was shaved down another layer.
On this broken mountain peak, the old doctor sat cross-legged, his expression solemn.
The wounds on his body from the tribulation have disappeared and healed completely.
Even his appearance has been restored to that of a middle-aged man when he first entered the Innate Realm.
A mysterious and powerful aura was emerging from his body and gradually intensifying.
Having experience with tribulations, Lu Qing could naturally tell that his master was condensing a golden core of magical power and undergoing a transformation of his magical power.
After a long while, suddenly, the old doctor trembled, and an aura of perfection, with a hint of "immortality," emerged from his body.
At this moment, the message on the note that appeared on Lu Qing's body changed in his eyes as he activated his supernatural ability.
【Chen Songqing: A highly skilled and kind-hearted physician, respected by many; a compassionate and benevolent old doctor.】
【Cultivation Level: High-Grade Golden Core, Initial Stage of Golden Core Realm.】
【Comprehend the way of the harmony of water and fire, condense the golden elixir of water and fire, and master the magical power of water and fire.】
【With astonishing comprehension, he comprehended and mastered a powerful swordsmanship domain, becoming unparalleled in attack.】
【Possesses divinely bestowed supernatural abilities and has immense potential.】
...
"As expected, Master has condensed a high-grade golden core this time."
Seeing the message on the note on his master's body, Lu Qing thought to himself.
However, he wasn't surprised.
Master's tribulation cloud was a golden tribulation cloud, and it was the strongest Nine Thunder Heavenly Tribulation.
If this still doesn't allow for the formation of a high-grade golden core, then it's simply unreasonable.
On the contrary, one of the notes surprised him.
"Master actually possesses supernatural powers. Is it that stream of light from before?"
Lu Qing suddenly remembered that before the Heavenly Tribulation vortex dissipated, a stream of light flew out and landed on his master.
That must be a divinely bestowed power, just like the two divine powers he received when he was undergoing tribulation in Zhongzhou.
"I wonder what kind of supernatural power Master has acquired..."
Lu Qing had a deep understanding of the power of divine gifts.
Even if it is a minor supernatural power, it is still much more powerful than most spells, possessing the formidable ability to fight beyond one's level.
Just like his 【Illusion】, once his supernatural power is unleashed, even the gray-robed man, whose realm is higher than his, is unable to resist it and can only sink into the illusion.
The divine powers that Master received must be extraordinary.
Just as Lu Qing was pondering, the old doctor, who had completed his breakthrough, also opened his eyes.
A glint of light flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared, leaving them unremarkable.
At the same time, his appearance also changed back to that of an elderly person.
Lu Qing led Xiao Yan and the others, slowly flying towards the shattered mountain peak.
"Congratulations, Master, on successfully transcending the tribulation and condensing the golden core," Lu Qing said with a smile.
"Congratulations, Grandpa Chen!" Xiao Yan also congratulated him in a sweet voice.
"Aww~"
"Roar~"
Xiao Li and Wu Xing also expressed their congratulations to the old doctor in their own ways.
And the two little ones also looked much more respectful.
After all, they had a deep understanding of the terrifying power of the previous heavenly tribulation, as they were not far away.
The old doctor was actually able to withstand such a terrifying tribulation, successfully transcend it, and enter the Golden Core realm.
Spirit beasts are born with the instinct to respect the strong, which made Xiao Li and Wu Xing unconsciously develop a great deal of awe for the old doctor.
"Hehe, I have to thank you, Aqing, for the magic treasures and spirit stones you gave me, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have survived this tribulation."
"It's a pity that the precious armor you gave me was damaged by the tribulation lightning."
The old doctor looked at the tattered armor lying to the side and felt a pang of heartache.
After being ravaged by so many tribulation lightning bolts, this precious armor has been completely damaged, losing all its spirituality and becoming a mortal object.
"This armor has already fulfilled its mission by sharing so much of the tribulation lightning with Master. It doesn't matter if it gets damaged."
If I can find suitable materials in the future, I will help Master forge a new set of armor.
Lu Qing didn't feel sorry for him at all; instead, he comforted his master.
"Let's talk about it later."
The old doctor collected the tattered armor and put it into his storage bag.
Although this armor is no longer usable, it was one of the key factors that enabled him to successfully overcome this tribulation, and he did not want to discard it.
"Master, what insights have you gained from this tribulation?" Lu Qing asked.
"Oh, right!" The old doctor exclaimed, suddenly realizing something. "Ah Qing, do you know why that last bolt of tribulation lightning didn't strike?"
The old doctor still felt lingering fear when he recalled the ordeal he had just gone through.
He never expected that his tribulation would be so difficult.
Even at the very end, he thought he was going to fail in his tribulation.
Fortunately, for some reason, the last tribulation lightning bolt did not strike, allowing him to successfully pass the tribulation.
However, he was busy healing his injuries at the time and had no time to notice what caused the heavenly tribulation to disappear.
"This disciple guesses that it is because of your good deeds and accumulated virtues over the years that this last tribulation lightning has protected you."
Lu Qing shared his guess.
The old doctor was stunned after hearing this.
He never expected that the reason why the final tribulation lightning did not fall was this.
"This is really..."
After a while, the old doctor came to his senses, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"That's why I said that my successful tribulation this time is the result of the good deeds you've accumulated over the years, Master," Lu Qing said with a smile.
The old doctor shook his head and didn't say anything.
The reason he has been practicing medicine and saving lives all these years is not to accumulate merit.
It was simply because he couldn't bear to see those suffering from illness and looking so helpless, and he wanted to help alleviate their pain.
The reason why they went to great lengths to use precious medicinal herbs to save Lu Qing was also for this reason.
Moreover, he feels great satisfaction and genuine joy every time he cures a patient.
This is why he has persisted in studying medicine and treating patients for so many years.
He didn't think too much about the rest.
Unexpectedly, it was because of this that he survived the tribulation of the Golden Core stage.
"Senior Chen!"
Just then, a shout rang out.
Wei Shanhai, Lin Zhirui, and the others used their movement techniques to quickly advance across the mountain peaks and soon arrived at the mountain where Lu Qing and the others were.
"Congratulations, Senior Chen, on successfully transcending your tribulation and entering the realm of Golden Core True Person!"
As soon as they arrived in front of the old doctor, everyone congratulated him in unison.
Wei Shanhai and his group, in particular, wore expressions of delight.
Nowadays, the Wei family can be considered to be attached to the lineage of Jiuli Village.
The old doctor's achievement of the Golden Core greatly boosted the strength of Jiuli Village, which was also a great thing for the Wei family.
"Hehe, thanks to the many treasures that Aqing gave me beforehand, this old man was able to escape this calamity by sheer luck."
Faced with everyone's congratulations, the old doctor chuckled.
"To be able to survive such a powerful tribulation, Senior Chen's cultivation is unfathomable, and it cannot be described as mere luck."
At this moment, everyone saw the situation around the mountain peak and couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
They had already sensed the terror of the heavenly tribulation when they were observing it from a distance.
Now, seeing the massive mountain beneath my feet, ravaged beyond recognition by the tribulation lightning, I truly understand just how terrifying that tribulation lightning was.
It's truly unimaginable how the old doctor managed to withstand such terrifying tribulation lightning and successfully pass through the ordeal.
This book was recently updated on ##6@@9@@Book@@Bar!! Updated!
"Alright, now that Master has successfully overcome his tribulation, let's go back and talk about it again."
After chatting happily for a while, Lu Qing summoned a small golden boat, enlarged it, and invited everyone to board.
Wei Shanhai and the others first curiously examined the golden flying boat, and then they all went aboard.
The next moment, Lu Qing activated his mind, and the flying boat instantly transformed into a golden streak of light, soaring into the air and flying towards Jiuli Village.
In just a dozen breaths, they returned to Jiuli Village and landed in front of the small courtyard halfway up the mountain.
Wei Shanhai and the others disembarked from the boat and were stunned when they saw the familiar scenery around them.
In such a short time, they have already returned to Jiuli Village from the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains?
Everyone turned to look at Lu Qing, who casually put away the golden flying boat, and their eyes showed shock.
Having experienced flight for the first time, they truly understood what real immortal techniques were.
In the following period, Wei Shanhai and his group stayed in the hillside courtyard for quite some time.
He then consulted Lu Qing and the old doctor about many cultivation-related questions, and after receiving answers, he left the mountainside courtyard with a sense of enlightenment and satisfaction.
However, one person stayed behind and did not leave with the others.
That person was Lin Zhirui.
"Young Master Lu, you previously said that you would consider the invitation from the three Holy Lords after Senior Chen has completed his tribulation. I wonder if that's still the case now..."
Lu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go tomorrow. I will go with you to the Holy Mountain to keep our appointment with the three Holy Lords."
"Young Master Lu, are you willing to keep the appointment? Then I will send a message to my master and the others as soon as I get back!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhirui was overjoyed.
"Ah Qing, do you need me to come along?"
The old doctor, who was standing nearby, heard this and asked a question.
"Master, you have just condensed your golden core and your cultivation still needs to be consolidated, so you don't need to accompany me. I can go by myself."
Lu Qing shook his head.
He knew that his master did not like such occasions, and that his master had just undergone tribulation. Right now, the most important thing was to consolidate his cultivation level, and there was no need to be distracted by such a trivial matter.
"Very well, now that I have successfully transcended the tribulation and with the great formation protecting us, you no longer need to worry about the safety of the village."
The old doctor knew that Lu Qing was always very opinionated, so since he said he didn't need him to accompany him, he didn't insist.
Lu Qing smiled upon hearing this.
He was naturally not worried about the safety of the village.
My master is now at the Golden Core stage, and what he has condensed is a high-grade Golden Core.
It can be said that, apart from himself, there are probably few strong individuals in the entire world who can pose a threat to his master.
It's just that Master has always lacked a clear understanding of his own strength, which is why he is unaware of this.
"By the way, Master, please take this jade slip. It contains some insights I've compiled about the Golden Core Realm. You might find it useful."
Lu Qing took out a jade slip and handed it to his master.
The old doctor didn't refuse and accepted it.
He knew that Lu Qing's current level of understanding was far superior to his own.
Just like now, although he has entered the Golden Core Realm, when he looks at Lu Qing, he still feels that he is in a fog.
His aura was ethereal and fleeting, making it impossible to discern the specific level of his cultivation.
It's obvious now. Although he and this disciple are both at the Golden Core stage, their true strength is still far apart.
The old doctor's face showed a regretful expression: "By the way, Ah Qing, after I survived the tribulation, a profound method appeared in my mind."
Unfortunately, that method seems difficult to pass on; otherwise, I could have taught it to you.
Lu Qing's heart skipped a beat, realizing that what his master was referring to must be his divinely bestowed supernatural power.
He couldn't help but smile: "Since it cannot be passed on to outsiders, it must be a method bestowed upon you by the Heavenly Tribulation, a method that belongs only to you. If it were forcibly passed on to outsiders, it would probably violate the will of Heaven and Earth, which would be undesirable."
Lu Qing knew that the supernatural powers bestowed by the will of Heaven should all be unique and should not be easily passed on to outsiders.
Even if it is passed on, others will find it difficult to learn.
Because when the will of heaven and earth bestows a gift, in addition to the cultivation method, a seed of supernatural power is also integrated into the body.
The seed of supernatural power contains the power of supernatural abilities, acting as a catalyst that guides practitioners to naturally cultivate supernatural powers.
Without the seed of supernatural power, even if one obtains the cultivation method, it is difficult to cultivate true supernatural power.
For example, he once coveted Xiao Li's two innate supernatural abilities.
He considered using his special ability to learn it.
However, it turned out that without the corresponding supernatural power, even if Xiao Li told him the method of operating the supernatural power, he would not be able to cultivate that supernatural power.
It was then that he realized that divinely bestowed supernatural powers held such profound mysteries.
Of course, it's also possible that his level of understanding was too low to comprehend the essence of supernatural powers, which would explain his situation.
Perhaps when his realm is high enough, he will be able to condense a seed of supernatural power on his own and cultivate supernatural powers.
Even with his superpowers, he still couldn't achieve that level of ability.
In fact, it's not just the divinely bestowed supernatural powers; even the Great Dao chapters that Lu Qing obtained are the same.
He could not directly and completely pass on the knowledge to his master; at most, he could only pass on the insights and principles he had gleaned from the Great Dao chapters.
The jade slip he gave to his master contained the principles of the Golden Core realm that he had gleaned from the Great Dao chapters and various cultivation techniques.
Of course, with Lin Zhirui present, Lu Qing couldn't openly discuss these matters with his master.
After all, divinely bestowed supernatural powers are one of the most powerful trump cards for every cultivator.
The fewer people who know, the better.
Things will be much easier from now on.
To celebrate his master's successful tribulation and entry into the Golden Core realm, Lu Qing personally cooked a large table of delicious dishes.
They even went to the river to catch a lot of spirit fish to use as food, which made Xiao Li very happy.
After finishing his meal, the old doctor went into seclusion to familiarize himself with the power of the Golden Core Realm and consolidate his cultivation.
The next morning, Lu Qing sent Xiao Yan and the others to the Wei family's villa and asked Madam Wei to take care of them for a while.
He then summoned a small golden boat and, carrying Lin Zhirui, headed straight for the Central Plains.
