Leisurely mountain village

Ye Huan's fifth uncle, Ye Dana, was the eldest son of his third grandfather's family. He was a year older than his father and went to the county town to do business more than ten years ago. He made money and bought three houses in the county town. Both of his sons followed him to do business in the county town.

Third Uncle was unwilling to leave the old house, and since he was in good health, he refused to live in the county town. He stayed in the village with his youngest son, Ye Darang, who was two years younger than Ye Dafa. He was a farmer and a simple, honest man, not cut out for business. He went out with his older brother once, but returned in less than three months and never went out again.

He also married and had children late in life, only finding a widow from a neighboring village at the age of 31. The village had been relocated to the town. When Ye Darang was 34, they had a daughter who is now 13 years old. After finishing second grade, Ye Darang sent her back home, which angered his third uncle so much that he beat her with a stick until she howled. However, he refused to let the girl continue her studies, saying it was a waste of money.

There is also a second child in the family, a 10-year-old son who is currently studying in the county town and lives with his older brother.

The boy had been a good student since he was little, and he was quite smart. Everyone in the village said that he had the potential to become the second college student in the village after Ye Huan. So his uncle, Ye Dana, was very happy and sent him to study in the county town, covering all his food and expenses, hoping that a college student would also come from the family.

He has two sons and a daughter who dropped out of junior high school, so he cares a lot about his nephew who is doing well in school.

Ye Huan stopped talking after giving his suggestion. He wasn't worried that his fifth uncle would disagree. All his things were good, and his family was very close to his third uncle's family, just like his second uncle's family.

Even if it really doesn't work out, he won't lose anything, so it doesn't matter to him at all.

It's raining today, so Sister-in-law Bai Jie didn't let Jingjing go with Ye Huan to the cabin in the woods, afraid she'd catch a cold.

Ye Huan was ready to cultivate that evening, so after accompanying his grandfather home, he told Saihu to guard the house and took Xiaobai into the back mountain. The evening breeze was gentle and refreshing. Ye Huan saw that it was still early, so he lay on the recliner and didn't rush to cultivate.

Taking out his phone, Ye Huan noticed there was no one chatting and spent the rest of the time idly until 9:30. Then, with a whoosh, he entered his spatial dimension, drank a cup of spiritual spring water, and began cultivating.

Cultivation knows no time. When Ye Huan opened his eyes again, he didn't know how many days had passed, but he was now at level 11. Feeling a powerful force, he left the space and checked the time.

He picked up his phone from the bed; it was already past 1 a.m., which meant he had been cultivating inside for two days. Just as he put the phone down, he realized something was wrong.

A sense of unease gripped him. Not knowing why, he pushed open the door, stepped outside, and saw a dark cloud gathering overhead. "Holy crap, what's going on?"

Wherever Ye Huan went, the dark cloud followed, and it grew larger and larger, with faint rumbling thunder coming from within.

"Could it be a lightning tribulation? Holy crap, no way, no way? I don't know anything, I'm not prepared at all, what should I do? What should I do??" Ye Huan suddenly thought of something and began to panic.

"I can't stay here, I have to go into the mountains." With that thought, Ye Huan told Xiao Bai to guard the house, and he took off running at full speed towards the place where he had dug for treasure during the day. If it was a tribulation of lightning, he could cover that place with lightning again.

The thunder seemed to be gathering energy. Ye Huan looked at the dark clouds that had begun to flash with lightning, took a sip of spiritual spring water, and increased his speed again. Like an invisible shadow, he disappeared in a flash.

Just as the thunder was about to fully charge and strike, Ye Huan arrived at the place where he had dug for treasure that morning. However, he stopped far away because he saw a group of people standing there, the very same Japanese troops that he had driven away the day before.

They stared at the puddle-filled area, yelling and screaming. Ye Huan's eyes lit up, and he chuckled. He charged straight into the crowd, and then they heard a thunderous boom.

"Ah~ Baka!" Before the birds could even utter a sound, they were shattered by lightning. How could mortals withstand the strike of tribulation lightning? In just one exchange, Ye Huan had all the Japanese soldiers lying dead.

But he also suffered: "Ouch, that hurts!" The first bolt of lightning struck him, shattering his clothes and sending his hair flying into the air.

A wave of tingling and numbness washed over Ye Huan, but he found that he quickly adapted to the lightning strike. He understood that this lightning tribulation was both a calamity and a blessing, and he currently had no magical treasures that could help him withstand the lightning.

So he had to rely entirely on himself. But precisely because of this, when the second tribulation lightning struck him, although his skin began to bleed, Ye Huan still felt as if his body had become stronger.

"Haha, that's right, it must be like that. Tribulation lightning can temper the body, haha, I'm such a genius." Ye Huan seemed to have discovered some secret, and then the third tribulation lightning rushed up, his whole body began to crack and bleed.

However, he didn't care at all. His body's abilities told him that he was fine. He took advantage of the gap in the tribulation lightning to replenish his energy with a bottle of spiritual spring water and a pill he had made himself with 8% purity. He then rushed into the air again to meet the sixth tribulation lightning.

Boom! Ye Huan was blasted into the mud by the tribulation lightning again, blood gushing from his body. But he still laughed heartily. It felt so good! He saw that the blood flowing out had turned a faint gold color, no longer dark red, and he knew that he had made the right bet.

Ye Huan had already rushed to a height of 100 meters to meet the ninth tribulation lightning, but he was still blasted into the mud. He spat out a mouthful of mud, grinned with his teeth in a creepy way, and his teeth were covered in blood.

After that lightning strike, he thought it was over. He drank a bottle of spiritual spring water and took some pills to replenish his strength and spiritual energy. Then he saw that the dark cloud was still there. "Is there more? Not nine lightning strikes?"

Before Ye Huan could even be surprised, the second round of tribulation lightning arrived. This time, there were nine bolts of heavenly lightning. Ye Huan was still only slightly injured. His blood was slightly tinged with gold. He couldn't see his bones, but his skin was cracked all over, like a piece of porcelain about to shatter.

"I'll give it my all." In the third round, Ye Huan began to struggle. His skin cracked and healed repeatedly. Under the hammering of the nine tribulation lightning bolts, he discovered a little secret: the healing speed of his injuries had accelerated.

He suddenly realized something, then smiled and yelled at the dark clouds, "Come here!"

"Boom~" The fourth round of tribulation lightning arrived as expected. Ye Huan was panting heavily after receiving it. There was no intact skin left on his body, but in the blink of an eye, it all healed. Then it was split open again by the tribulation lightning, and it healed again, and so on.

Ye Huan endured six rounds of tribulation lightning with a bittersweet feeling. He discovered that his body, which had been torn apart by the last lightning strike, was completely healed in less than three seconds, without a single scar remaining.
