Rebirth of the Useless Bastard Son

Li Tianyan watched Cheng Qi being engulfed by the lightning. His whole body stiffened with tension, but then he gradually relaxed.

Sure enough, the thunder sparks dissipated, leaving the mountaintop where Cheng Qi had been in disarray. Only the centre of the thunder remained untouched.

As the thunderclouds gradually dispersed and the tribulation was over, Li Tianyan appeared beside Cheng Qi, put away the Nascent Soul puppet that had been pressing on him, squatted down, and looked at the huddled person. “Xiao Qi?”

“Huh?” Hearing Li Tianyan’s voice, Cheng Qi opened his eyes, looked up, and found that the thunderstorm had passed. He then patted his chest to calm himself down.

“It scared me to death,” Cheng Qi muttered, thinking he had died.

Seeing Cheng Qi, who had been struck by lightning and covered with wounds, Li Tianyan took out his cloak and draped it over him. He immediately used wood element spiritual energy to repair the wounds.

With Li Tianyan by Cheng Qi’s side, he didn’t even need to swallow pills. The injuries on his face and body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the remaining thunder energy in his body was sucked away by Li Tianyan.

Feeling much more relaxed, Cheng Qi began to look around curiously again. Then he noticed something strange. “Young master, the last thunderbolt didn’t seem to hit me.”

The whole mountain had been struck by thunder, but nothing happened where he was. Could it be that the thunder had just missed?

“Yes.” Li Tianyan nodded. He had already felt it during the last tribulation. The last thunderbolt seemed extremely powerful, but in fact, it left them with a glimmer of hope and did not truly strike to kill.

Today, it seemed that was indeed the case.

Cheng Qi’s injuries healed quickly, and Li Tianyan stopped temporarily when he saw that some of the most serious areas were scabbed over. He could only wait until they returned to address the rest.

Seeing Li Tianyan withdrawing his spiritual energy, Cheng Qi struggled to get up. The next moment, he felt his body lighten and fell into a warm embrace. Cheng Qi looked at Li Tianyan and blinked.

“Is Xiao Qi okay?” Cheng Yu, who had followed Tian Min to Cheng Qi, asked with concern when he saw something in Li Tianyan’s arms was tightly wrapped in a cloak.

“I’m fine.” Cheng Qi revealed one eye, looked outside, and saw a strange-looking person next to Tian Min. By the sound of his voice, he recognized it as Cheng Yu.

“Go back to the Qingdan Palace first,” Li Tianyan said to the two of them, and then left first with Cheng Qi in his arms.

By this time, the thunderclouds in the sky had dispersed, revealing a clear blue sky. The other cultivators had already left, but some unfinished thoughts lingered in their minds.

At the critical moment, they had suddenly lost sight of the person going through the tribulation, so no one knew how Cheng Qi had survived it. Everyone was talking about it on the way back, and Tan Eyu’s identity was also a topic of curiosity.

Cheng Qi was raised in Qingdan Palace for two days and was able to jump around again. However, Tan Eyu had to continue resting in the soul-nurturing wood. Still, there were benefits after the thunder tribulation.

Tan Eyu found that her soul she had just fused had become much more solidified under the tempering of the sky thunder. Just as Cheng Qi had said, it would not be so easy for her soul to fly away in the future.

Cheng Qi was also tempered by the thunderstorm, completely losing his mortal body and achieving a spiritual body comparable to the level of a treasure weapon. From then on, he truly entered the path of immortal cultivation.

“Brother, are you going back so soon?” Cheng Qi asked, still a little reluctant when he heard Cheng Yu’s farewell.

“I had been here for more than a month. I felt relieved to see that you were fine. What’s more, I had gained a lot from watching you survive the tribulation. I had to go back to retreat for some enlightenment,” Cheng Yu said to him with a smile.

This time, he had come to the Tianfan Immortal Sect, but he didn’t tell anyone, including his parents, so he had to go back as soon as possible.

“Okay then, let the bull beast take you back.” When Cheng Qi heard about the retreat, he naturally wouldn’t force him to stay any longer and handed him a spirit beast card.

Cheng Yu didn’t reject his kindness and bowed his hand to Elder Tian Min, who was next to him. Then, with Cheng Qi and others watching, he left the Tianfan Immortal Sect with his sword.

After Cheng Qi advanced to the core formation, Li Tianyan began to prepare for leaving, but there were still many things to arrange, so the two stayed in the Tianfan Immortal Sect for a while.

Many spiritual plants in the Qiankun Realm had already reached a mature state. Li Tianyan hadn’t had time to take care of them before, so now he planned to pick the next batch of old ones and refine them into medicinal pills.

There were also seeds sown on the mountain. They had enough spiritual energy and Li Tianyan’s true spiritual energy to ripen them, and they grew very quickly.

It was just that some rare varieties of spiritual grass, even if nourished with wood-type essence, still took a long time to mature.

Since he and Cheng Qi wouldn’t be able to use the Xuan-level spiritual grass yet. Li Tianyan planned to wait until he got into the new continent and buy more seeds of Xuan-level spiritual grass first.

In the past few months, Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi had either been taking care of spiritual plants in the Qiankun Realm or refining medicinal pills in the alchemy room, so they had gathered a large number of medicinal pills.
