Florida Man's General Store in Cultivation World



Chapter 55 – Florida Man Challenges Thunderstorm by Standing on Open Field

Name: Cat

Age: 0

Remaining Lifespan: 6,300 Years

.

Sometimes, Leo wondered, how much did Cat eat to get her lifespan to this point? He deeply sighed in envy.

"Cat. I need some of your lifespans. Can you share them with me? You don't have to give me everything. Just give me half."

"Meow?" Cat mischievously smirked.

"What? You dare to ask me what I will give you in return?! You ate my potatoes and other food, you little brat! You've been freeloading me for several days now. You need to pay rent!"

"Meow!" Cat pouted and pointed at the remaining pile of giant potatoes.

"You want all of those? You greedy punk!"

"Meow <3"

Leo gave up on Cat's gluttony and greed. He compromised as he didn't want to take advantage of this little kid.

"Fine. I'll give you the entire stock of potatoes as long as you spit out the seeds. I need those to regrow them, okay?"

"Meow <3"

The two came to a term. Cat obediently gave 4,000 years of her life force to Leo.

DING

After getting the lifespan, Leo's life force reached 10,000, which was halfway to his goal. He could only wait for more customers or hoodlums to show up again.

.

Without a visitor, Leo killed his time by farming and clearing land. He also didn't forget to make pills, sacred wood blocks, and tea. The mannequin doll also helped him collect resources.

The next morning, Leo resumed working as usual. However, for the entire day, nobody visited his store. He hummed in a good mood as he got to enjoy a quiet and slow life for once.

The next day, nobody showed up. However, Leo was happy as he got to replenish grain pills, tea, and yang flame pills in the store.

On the third day, no one visited him. Not even a beast showed up to attack his store.

After three days of idling, Leo felt like something was missing in his life, yet he was in a good mood as he managed to stock up on sacred wood blocks. He focused on making wood blocks for an entire day and fill the backyard behind the workshop with hundreds of them.

Seven days passed since Xu Nuan last visited him, and Leo was bored.

He sat in his store, gazing at the shelves full of yang flame pills, grain pills, and vegetables. He deeply sighed.

"Where are all the customers? Where are those crazy cultivators?"

He was tired of uprooting woods and making random items with the alchemy cauldrons. He wondered where all the people went.

Because of boredom, Leo finally took a day off from the farmland and alchemy workshop. Leo spent the rest of the afternoon in his bedroom, chilling and enjoying the afternoon nap.

BOOM

Suddenly, a loud boom came from the first workshop. Leo jumped out of his bed and rushed toward the cauldron.

When Leo came out of the store through the backdoors, he saw a pillar of rainbow light, trekking to the sky. It shone upon the cauldron, highlighting its location. Leo looked up, but he couldn't find the source of the light beacon.

RUMBLE

Black clouds gathered above the beacon of light. A lightning storm brewed, and thunder sounds followed.

Meanwhile, Cat had been sitting on the rooftop. When the thunder sound echoed in the sky, she shrieked and sprinted to the granary building. Upon getting inside, she shivered in a corner, burying herself under the mountain of potatoes.

Leo stared at the sky and the dark clouds. He bitterly smiled.

"It's you again. Are you following me to this world, too?"I think you should take a look at

This was not the first time that Leo encountered the sentient thunderclouds. He still remembered vividly as if he had just met the clouds yesterday as the experience that day imprinted in his mind.

Life Sword Sect, Magpie City

It had been over a week since Ouyang Long was dead. Because of the incident, Wu Buyi and Han Hao summoned all elders of the sect for an emergency meeting. Then, they gathered at the foot of the Claymore Mountain.

The Claymore Mountain was a billion years old tall mountain. It was three times taller than Mt. Everest, and its shape was similar to a massive long sword. The local cultivators and commoners called it Claymore Mountain, paying homage to the founder of the Life Sword Sect, who used a claymore as his personal weapon.

At the top of the mountain, Life Sword Sect's master resided. He rarely spent time managing his sect as he was usually in seclusion. Every time he went into seclusion, he always remained on the mountain for decades.

However, Han Hao could no longer wait for the sect master to come out. He gathered everybody in the sect at the foot of the mountain and knelt.

"Sect Master, we need your help!"

"Sect Master! Our sect is in danger!"

The elders kept shouting, hoping that the sect master could hear them. Although everybody wanted to climb the mountain and visit the sect master directly, they couldn't enter as it was heavily protected by a killing array.

After a week of kneeling, the elders started to lose hope. They looked at each other, wondering if they should flee the sect before the Ouyang Family and the Jianghu Alliance invaded them.

RUMBLE

While kneeling, the thunderous sound from afar distracted everybody. Han Hao, Han Meng, Tiger Swordsman, and a dozen elders stood up and gazed east.

"Tribulation Clouds?"

"Is someone breaking through? Those tribulation clouds seem a bit thick."

"When I advanced to the nascent soul realm, my tribulation clouds were as big as a small hill. But those clouds are…"

The elders gulped. The clouds kept expanding and condensing larger. A few minutes later, they reached Magpie City, and the clouds slowly descended.

Han Hao narrowed his eyes. He had been living for over a hundred years, but he had never seen tribulation clouds this thick. Moreover, Han Hao suspected that they came from a certain place.

"Say, Wu Buyi."

Wu Buyi stood up and gazed at the clouds, "Yeah?"

"I heard that when an alchemist makes a pill that transcends the mortal world, tribulation clouds will appear to destroy the pill. Is that true?"

Wu Buyi deeply sighed, "Correct. Heaven Tribulations appear to test cultivators during their breakthroughs, but they can also test the newly made immortal pills. If the pill quality is not the pinnacle grade or high grade, the made pills will be destroyed. But this tribulation also depends on the maker of the pills. We, the alchemists, can share the burden of the Heaven Tribulations. Half of the lightning bolts will strike the pill owner if they carry the pills. However, if the alchemists choose to avoid trouble, all lightning bolts will concentrate on the pills. Well, in short, if the alchemist is strong enough, he can actually protect the low-grade immortal pills from being destroyed."

Han Hao silently thought of Leo, "Do you think those clouds come for Daoist Florida Man?"

Wu Buyi sweated profusely. He repeatedly nodded, "Considering the size of the clouds, I think so. He must have made an immortal pill!"

While the crowd spectated and speculated, an elderly man came out from his cave. He had a long white beard, but he had no hair. His thick droopy eyebrows covered half of his eyes. However, his aura was the same as Ouyang Long's.

Sect Master Hua Jiashan used his cane as he walked. He gazed at the east, where the tribulation clouds had been gathering. He solemnly pondered.

"The world is full of surprises. It has been 500 years since I last saw the Heavenly Tribulation of Immortal Pills. The last soul formation alchemist died protecting the pill in vain, and Ouyang Tong stole the pill and ascended to the higher realm. Since the pill appears again, I'm sure the despicable Ouyang Clan will swarm there to steal the pill. No, I forgot about the demon clans and unorthodox cultivators. Those undying bastards will definitely go there to snatch the immortal pill after the tribulation."

Hua Jiashan snorted and sent a voice transmission to his subordinates.

"All elders, prepare to depart after the tribulation is over. We must protect the alchemist at all costs. Do not allow his pill to be stolen by unorthodox cultivators or despicable thieves!"

The elders at the mountain foot widened their eyes in astonishment. They cheered as their sect master finally came out from seclusion.

"FINALLY!" Han Hao was delighted. He sent his voice transmission to Hua Jiashan to inform him about Leo and Ouyang Long's death.

.

Meanwhile, Leo jumped on top of the alchemist workshop. He deeply sighed as he baited the lightning bolts.

"COME HERE, YOU LITTLE SHIT! I WON'T LET YOU DESTROY MY PRECIOUS ARTIFACTS AGAIN! I MADE THIS, SO THIS IS MINE!"

Leo remembered how the tribulation lightning bolts destroyed some of the alien artifacts when he brought them out of the spaceship. In the end, only the ring survived.
