Chapter 354 Is this the heavenly calamity?
The heavenly thunder calamity is aimed at the body cultivation. These protective measures basically act on the body cultivation, waiting for the arrival of the heavenly thunder.

"Click..."

At a certain moment, accompanied by flashes of lightning, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck Lu Changjing.

"boom……"

Lightning splashed and exploded above Lu Changjing's head, but it did not cause any damage. It didn't even split his Nine Dragon Cover, only a few parts of it.

The nine-layer Nine Dragon Cover has nine times the defensive power of Lu Changjing himself, which is nearly 20 million times the defensive power of an ordinary person.

Ordinary gods and demons, even if they have entered the semi-profound realm, have only a few hundred thousand times the defense of ordinary people. However, the defense of the ninth level of the Nine Dragon Cover alone has nearly twenty million times the defense of ordinary people.

Looking at the heavenly thunder tribulation that even the Nine Dragon Cover could not shake, Lu Changjing was silent for a moment, removed the Nine Dragon Armor, and removed half of the Nine Dragon Cover. After all, the effect of heavenly thunder body tempering is quite good, so he has to keep some.

"Crack...knock..."

More thunders came down from the sky, and despite the continuous thunders, the Nine Dragon Cover remained safe and sound.

Lu Changjing thought about it and simply removed most of the Nine Dragon Cover. Finally, some of the heavenly thunder passed through the Nine Dragon Cover and fell on his body, starting to temper his Nine Yang Divine Body.

A little bit of numbness, seems to have no effect.

Lu Changjing frowned and simply removed the Nine Dragon Cover, so that the thunders could fall directly on him.

This time I finally felt it, and there was a certain tempering effect, but the effect was limited.

After thinking about it, Lu Changjing began to reduce the power of the Vajra Indestructible attribute from nine times to eight times, and then to seven times... and finally stopped when it reached two times.

Because it has reached this level, Lu Changjing feels like he can't bear it anymore, but the effect is also the best.

Under the tempering of the heavenly thunder, his body cultivation level, which had already reached its limit, began to grow rapidly again.

"Boom...boom..."

The descending thunder became more and more powerful and thicker. Lu Changjing was almost wrapped in the thunder. The dozens of meters around him had turned into a world of thunder, and the range was still shrinking.

This reduction was not because the heavenly thunder tribulation had weakened. On the contrary, it was because the power of the heavenly thunder tribulation was becoming stronger and stronger, concentrating all its strength on Lu Changjing, so it was able to produce such an amazing effect.

It lasted for more than half an hour, and the heavenly thunder tribulation gradually came to an end. Lu Changjing's Nine Yang Divine Body was also fully tempered, breaking through the limits several times, but he had not yet entered the realm of Xuanzun.

It takes going through all three levels of heavenly tribulation before one can receive the gift from heaven and earth and advance rapidly in cultivation.

The more you endure in the heavenly tribulation, the more severe the tempering, and then you will be able to obtain more gifts from heaven and earth.

"Dangdangdang..."

The dark clouds above his head had just dispersed, and suddenly, Lu Changjing felt the sound of swords and horses coming from his body.

Five elements disaster!
The disaster of gold!
This is a calamity aimed at those who practice Qi Refining. Countless golden forces form long knives, sharp swords, flying needles, giant hammers... and continuously beat Lu Changjing's divine essence, divine meridians, and Dantian.

However, due to the blessing of Vajra's indestructible characteristics, such beatings did not have much effect.

The Nine Dragon Cover had been removed by him, leaving only the Vajra Indestructible attribute.

Realizing that the tempering effect of the Five Elements Tribulation was not good, Lu Changjing hurriedly began to gradually weaken the Vajra Indestructible characteristics, weakening it to about three times, so that he could get the best tempering.

"Dangdangdang..."

"Chichichi..."

"Bang bang bang..."

……

Various kinds of metallic weapons are constantly being tempered in the body, making it become more and more powerful, just like steel that has been tempered a hundred times.

In a trance, Lu Changjing was already immersed in it, using the power of the Five Elements to fully improve his Qi Refining skills.

Although he had already thought that the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation and the Five Elements Tribulation could not do anything to him, it should not be difficult for him.

However, Lu Changjing did not expect that it would not be so difficult. Is he sure that he is transcending the tribulation? It seems that it is not even as good as the attacks of those mysterious monsters and demons.

Although his heavenly thunder tribulation and five elements tribulation are several times more powerful than those of other gods and demons due to his overly powerful foundation, Lu Changjing's cultivation foundation is more than twenty times that of gods and demons of the same level.

With the addition of various mysterious skills, techniques, arts, and characteristics, this little power is really nothing to him.

The calamity of gold lasted for a cup of tea, and then the calamity of wood came.

The wood catastrophe turned into a majestic vitality that raged through his body, merging into his divine veins, divine essence, and dantian… In order to burst it alive, it would mainly test his resilience.

However, with a toughness twenty times greater than that of gods and demons of the same level, and the blessing of Vajra Indestructibility, how could the Wood Tribulation have any effect?

I let it pour in madly, and remained unmoved. I then absorbed and digested the vast energy, turning it into nourishment for my own growth, and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

The wood calamity was easily overcome and considerable benefits were gained. The next one was the water calamity.

“Drip… drip…”

It was not a torrential rain or a raging sea, but a drizzle of rain that seeped into the body silently, mainly attacking Lu Changjing's divine essence, divine meridians and dantian.

However, essence, energy and spirit are one, so other aspects will inevitably be affected.

The rain seemed weak, but when it fell into the body, an astonishing corrosive force emerged and began to corrode Lu Changjing's Qi Refining cultivation.

The corrosive power is so strong that just one drop is enough to corrode a god or demon, let alone tens of thousands or even countless drops.

Lu Changjing also felt a burning sensation coming from various parts of his body. It was the corrosive force that was taking effect. Although it was a bit uncomfortable, it was completely within his tolerable range.

"Chichichi..."

Under the corrosion of the water catastrophe, the Qi refining cultivation was constantly corroded, and in this corrosion, it was tempered and grown, and this cycle repeated itself.

Destroy and then build…destroy again and then build…destroy again and then build…

It continued for a while, until all the divine essence, divine veins and dantian were corroded, and then it gradually came to an end.

What followed was a blanket of fire that suddenly appeared and swept across heaven and earth, forming two extremes with the water catastrophe.

It came roaring and surging, penetrating almost every hole.

The aura of the water calamity still lingered in the divine essence, divine veins and dantian. Now, under the burning of the fire calamity, they emitted a sharp "hissing" sound, and their power soared directly to the maximum.

There was also steam formed by the fusion of the water catastrophe and the fire catastrophe, which was extremely poisonous and also raged in Lu Changjing's body, affecting his physical and spiritual cultivation.

Fortunately, only a part of it was affected and it was completely able to withstand it, without even having to activate the Vajra Indestructible feature.

Scorching, explosive, crazy... As one of the most powerful disasters among the Five Elements, the Fire Tribulation almost brings destructive power to an extreme.

Even Lu Changjing had to slightly adjust the power of his Vajra Indestructible attribute, but under the destruction of the Fire Tribulation, his Divine Essence, Divine Veins, and Dantian were effectively tempered. After a cup of tea, his Qi Refining skills, which had increased dramatically again, faced the test of the Earth Tribulation.

It was as if an earthquake had erupted inside his body. The destructive force was so earth-shattering that it directly shattered his divine essence. His divine meridians and dantian were also on the verge of collapse in this vibration. The power of the Earth Tribulation was unexpectedly even more violent.

Fortunately, Lu Changjing's defense was sufficient to withstand such destruction.

"Kacha kacha kacha..."

Although there were continuous explosion sounds coming from his body, he still managed to resist them easily, and also took this opportunity to greatly improve his Qi Refining skills.

The Five Elements Tribulation has come to an end, and the next step will be the most dangerous third heavenly tribulation.

Throughout the ages, more than 90% of the gods and demons who have survived the catastrophe have died in this calamity.

The inner demon is invisible and rises from the depths of the heart. No matter how strong the defense of the soul is, it can't withstand this calamity coming from the depths of the heart.

Even with Lu Changjing's cultivation foundation, he still felt a huge headache. If he had not obtained the Heart Demon Pearl, he would not dare to cross the tribulation now.

Fortunately, with the Heart Demon Pearl that has accumulated power for hundreds of thousands of years, this disaster should not be so terrifying for him. At least it will be weakened by several times, or even more.

With a slight smile, Lu Changjing prepared to face his own inner tribulation.

"Um……"

With a muffled groan, Lu Changjing woke up from his coma and looked at the white above his head, feeling a little dazed.

Why am I in the hospital? Shouldn’t I be undergoing a tribulation?

"You're awake. Are you okay now? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

At this moment, he heard the voice of a nurse. When he looked in the direction of the voice, he saw a sweet-looking girl with dimples, who looked to be in her early twenties, looking at him worriedly.

This also disrupted his thoughts. He thought to himself that since he was hit by a car, shouldn't he be in the hospital? Why did he think about transcending the tribulation? He was really confused by the hit.

This is the real world, not a fantasy world. Everything that just happened must have been a dream.

But this dream was really long and seemed very clear. In the dream, I actually became the master of the land of Kyushu and had to overcome the heavenly tribulation to achieve the realm of Xuanzun.

Thinking about this somewhat childish dream, Lu Changjing couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. When he thought about it again, it was not so clear.

It was indeed a dream. It felt clear when I first woke up, and then became more and more blurry.

Without thinking any more, Lu Changjing moved his body. Except for a little pain in his arms and legs, everything else was fine, so he told the nurse.

The nurse felt relieved and hurried out to ask the chief doctor to come over for a check-up. At the same time, she called Zhao Ying's agent, as this was the other party's request.

Only then did Lu Changjing have time to look around his ward. It was a separate ward with luxurious decoration. It seemed to be a VIP ward.

It should have been arranged by Zhao Ying. She is a star after all. He has never stayed in such a high-end ward before, with a reception room, a kitchen, a bathroom... three bedrooms and two living rooms. This is not a ward at all. I wonder how much it costs per day.

Their boss would definitely not be willing to let him stay in this kind of ward, and only Zhao Ying would treat him like this.

At this time, several doctors came in from outside, consulted with him, and after confirming that he was not seriously injured, they left and asked the nurse to take good care of him.

The young nurse's name is Li Tian. As her name suggests, she is sweet and delicious. She doesn't have a boyfriend yet. She is quite curious about the fact that Lu Changjing risked his life to save Zhao Ying.

Lu Changjing was too embarrassed to tell her that he was pushed out, so he had to admit it. He said that he rushed out in a fit of rage and he didn't know what he was thinking.

He was not afraid that the person who pushed him would tell the truth, because if he dared to say so, it would be considered intentional murder, and the police would never let him off.

The other party might want to keep it secret even more than he does. As long as Lu Changjing doesn't say anything about this matter, basically no one else will.

In the evening, Zhao Ying brought her agent to the ward.

Even without dressing up, Zhao Ying's beauty is still striking. Wearing a light blue suspender skirt, she gives people a refreshing and pleasant feeling.

The layered design of the skirt highlights her unique personality, while the small lace decoration at the neckline adds a touch of sweetness.

She wore a pair of white sneakers, which contrasted sharply with her overall outfit.

As soon as she saw Lu Changjing, she couldn't help but run over and grabbed his hand: "Mr. Lu, are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"There's nothing wrong with me. I'm fine everywhere." Lu Changjing said quickly. He was a little uncomfortable with being so cared about by this beautiful star.

Zhao Ying breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're alright. If you need anything, Mr. Lu, feel free to call me. I'll give you my phone number and WeChat."

As he spoke, he took Lu Changjing's phone without waiting for him to refuse. After Lu Changjing unlocked the password, he added his phone number and WeChat number: "Thank you Mr. Lu for this time. If it weren't for Mr. Lu, I'm afraid I would be finished. The traffic police said that if Mr. Lu hadn't saved me, I would have died in the car accident more than 90% of the time."

After expressing her sincere gratitude, Zhao Ying stayed to take care of Lu Changjing for a while before leaving after being persuaded by her agent.

Lu Changjing was not used to being taken care of by the star Zhao Ying. He was relieved when he saw her leave.

In the following days, Lu Changjing rested in the hospital and recovered. With Li Tian's care and experts consulting him from time to time, Lu Changjing recovered quickly.

He did not tell his parents about what happened here so as not to worry them. However, his boss and colleagues came to see him several times and gave him some work injury compensation.

After all, Lu Changjing was injured during working hours, but because he took the initiative to save people, he did not have that much money.

It was because the boss saw that he saved Zhao Ying and that this incident had a positive impact on the company that he gave him a sum of money that was equivalent to several years' salary.

With this money, plus his previous savings, it was almost enough for him to buy a three-bedroom, two-living-room house in his hometown of Yangtang.

After working for another two years and buying a car, I can go on blind dates at home. I have a car and a house, and they are all paid in full. He is not ugly, and it is just right for marriage.

He smiled slightly. Although he did not want this sudden disaster, it brought him real benefits.

And as a celebrity, Zhao Ying will definitely show some appreciation, and maybe the money to buy a car will be available.

Although he was in the hospital, Lu Changjing was in a good mood, and even his injuries recovered much faster.

He was able to be discharged from the hospital in just over half a month. Although Zhao Ying was busy with work during that period, she would take time out to visit him from time to time.

As they spent more time together, the two gradually became familiar with each other. Under Zhao Ying's persuasion, he decided to become Zhao Ying's bodyguard after he recovered.

Because of what happened before, Zhao Ying was deeply frightened and developed a certain dependence on him, so she hoped that he could be her bodyguard.

As for the lack of professional knowledge and physical weakness, he could practice, so Zhao Ying specially found professionals to teach him.

At the beginning, I couldn’t do any big movements, but as my injury recovered, I was gradually able to train normally.

With Zhao Ying's encouragement, and most importantly, she paid Lu Changjing a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan, Lu Changjing was very motivated.

You should know that his previous salary was less than 10,000 yuan, but now it has increased by about four times, and he receives bonuses from time to time, and he is provided with food and accommodation, so he can save nearly 30,000 yuan of salary every month.

That’s more than 300,000 yuan a year, enough to buy a nice car.
