After disappearing for ten years, the junior sister made the entire sect kneel down to welcome her.

Liu Ruoci checked her disciples from Medicine King Valley and, after confirming everyone was present, called out loudly, "Return to the valley!"

A large group of people left the Heavenly Dao Stele.

At the very back of the crowd at Medicine King Valley, three medical elders were imprisoned in a rented carriage and cages.

They were dressed in rags and looked dejected and listless.

Along the way, they attracted the attention of many cultivators from other sects—

"These three look like elders from Medicine King Valley. What happened? Did they commit a crime?"

"Yes, everything seemed fine when we arrived, how did it become like this when we left..."

"I know. A distant nephew of mine has friends in Medicine King Valley and knows some inside information. I heard that the three of them are colluding with cultivators from other sects to try and seize power!"

"Tsk! Three elders trying to seize power all at once? What's going on? Who's trying to usurp power?"

"I'll tell you a secret, but don't spread it around. I heard it's his elder sister, Liu Rumei... Ha... So it's Liu Rumei. I've seen that name on the Heavenly Dao Stele before... I think her ranking is even a little higher than Liu Ruoci's..."

"Yes, that's right. I heard there was quite a stir about the annulment of the engagement. Speaking of which, isn't his older sister a good-for-nothing? She's never even participated in the rankings. So, it seems she's not good-for-nothing at all!"

"His bloodline is legitimate, and he conforms to the primogeniture hierarchy, so it's no wonder some elders favor him. Generally speaking, wouldn't the more outstanding elder sister be chosen to inherit the throne?"

"Shh! Don't say that. Her younger brother, Liu Ruoci, is in power now! Why are you offending them? Don't you know how prestigious Medicine King Valley is in the medical cultivation world?"

Medicine King Valley is the highest-level, purest, and most unified medical cultivation sect in the entire Eastern Continent, dedicated solely to training medical cultivators.

These medical practitioners came from various comprehensive sects. Although there were some experts among them, when it came to fame, they couldn't compare to the three words "Medicine King Valley".

Just then, a strange change occurred in the sky.

A vast cloud of calamity suddenly descended upon Zhouhai City, with blue-purple lightning surging within it.

"Click-clack—!"

Lightning fell from the clouds and struck a high-end spirit inn in Zhouhai City.

Everyone's attention was simultaneously drawn to the lightning tribulation that kept striking the spirit inn, their eyes filled with a growing sense of amazement and envy.

"Is someone undergoing tribulation? I've never heard of a medical cultivator attracting heavenly lightning during tribulation! What terrifying talent..."

"However, those body cultivators and Dao cultivators are alright if they attract lightning tribulations during their tribulations. But what about medical cultivators... can they withstand it?"

"The tribulation of lightning is both a danger and an opportunity. Anyone who can withstand it will have a physical body several times stronger than a cultivator of the same realm who hasn't experienced it. If this person safely passes through the tribulation, won't the weakness of a healer's body be overcome soon?"

"I'm so envious..."

The crowd whispered and discussed amongst themselves.

The lightning continued to fall.

Just as Liu Ruoci and the others returned to their spirit boat and prepared to return to the valley, they witnessed the tribulation of lightning before their departure. As a result, everyone in Medicine King Valley stopped briefly to observe it.

The disciples of Medicine King Valley, like the cultivators below, had mixed feelings of envy and jealousy in their eyes, and all sorts of thoughts.

Liu Ruoci was somewhat shocked as she looked at the lightning tribulations.

What terrifying talent in medicine must one possess to encounter a tribulation of lightning? After all, he prides himself on being a genius in medicine, and even though he has reached the Nascent Soul stage, he has never encountered a tribulation of lightning.

However, after a moment of jealousy, Liu Ruoci felt contempt again.

Such a powerful and magnificent tribulation of lightning.

Even Daoist and physical cultivators might not be able to withstand it, so this so-called genius medical cultivator would definitely be blasted to smithereens. Moreover, he had a precognitive dream…

Turning her gaze away, Liu Ruoci gave her subordinate elders a look that said, "You can set off now."

The spirit boat slowly sailed forward. Liu Ruoci stood at the very front of the bow deck. Amidst the reluctant gazes of the Medicine King Valley cultivators, he, dressed in ethereal white robes, spoke calmly and confidently:

There's no need to envy others.

"That genius medical cultivator couldn't withstand such a terrifying tribulation of lightning. No matter how talented he is, if he can't survive, it's all for naught. Moreover, when I, the sect master, break through to the Tribulation Transcending stage and achieve the Immortal Venerable realm in the future, I will also attract heavenly lightning!"

"Moreover, he is the only medical cultivator in the Eastern Continent who withstood the heavenly lightning and survived."

This wasn't just nonsense he made up; it was something he foresaw in his dream. When he transcended the mortal realm and became an immortal, everyone in the Eastern Continent was talking about it, and everyone said that he was the only genius medical cultivator in the Eastern Continent who had survived the tribulation of lightning.

In his dream, he had an omniscient perspective, and he heard everything everyone said clearly.

Therefore, he was only briefly shocked before regaining his composure and did not take the person seriously.

Six bolts of lightning struck down, and only then did the tribulation clouds disperse.

Even heavenly lightning possesses sentience. Although it struck this spirit path, it hit precisely, only creating a hole in the cave dwelling where Liu Rumei was.

Liu Rumei is someone who has died once.

She endured the pain of soul-searching, so how could she be defeated by this physical pain?

Moreover, since she stopped Zhenzhen from avenging her, she has to live up to her choice!

If she can't even withstand this level of lightning tribulation, what kind of good woman is she?

She has to prove herself!

Rolling lightning surged into Liu Rumei's body, tempering her skin, and Liu Rumei was reborn amidst this torrent of lightning—

Luo Zhenhuan then led Yu Tianrong away from the cave and stayed outside to guard it.

The door was open, so they could see Liu Rumei's condition at any time.

Luo Zhenhuan remained calm, while Yu Tianrong was a bit anxious, pacing back and forth in the corridor while peeking inside from the doorway.

Luo Huanzhen clenched his fist and said earnestly, "She can definitely do it!"

If this doesn't work, then her plan to seek revenge on Liu Ruoci herself would be a joke.

Yu Tianrong nodded nervously, "Yes! I... I believe in Master..."

That's what they say, but when they actually walk around, they're already starting to move in unison.

She was an orphan, and it was only with great difficulty that she found a master who loved her.

She was terrified that something might happen to Liu Rumei.

Half an hour later, the tribulation ended.

Inside the cave, Liu Rumei sat in a pit, surrounded by collapsed debris and ruins. Above her head, there was a large hole, and at midday, a beam of sunlight shone down from the hole, enveloping her completely.

If you ignore the fact that her whole body was charred black, she looked incredibly divine.

Yu Tianrong was the first to rush into the cave.

"Master!!"

Luo Huanzhen followed closely behind.

When Yu Tianrong rushed to Liu Rumei's side, he saw her appearance and didn't dare to get close for a moment. He stood there with a worried and frightened expression.

She called out softly again, "Master, are you alright?"

"...Hmm, not bad." A clear and gentle voice rang out in the dilapidated cave. The humanoid charcoal figure in front of him moved his lips, and the black skin on his face immediately began to fall off in a flurry.
