A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 264: Changes in the Physical Body (Refining Spiritual Roots)

“I wonder how that will change?”

Looking at the vital medicinal energy on his chest, he couldn't help but start to feel a little excited.

After taking a look at Xiao Shen who was sitting next to him, he took a deep breath, cleared away some complicated thoughts, and began to practice with medicinal energy.

As the armor-condensing technique began to be used, the medicinal gas began to surge, as if something was moving inside it.

Gradually, the medicinal vapor began to spread and expand, and a little light appeared in it, as bright as the stars in the night sky, and the shape of a sitting figure began to slowly become clear.

……

Four days later.

"It's finally done!"

Lu Luan shouted softly and stopped what he was doing.

He saw that the Dharma image condensed by the medicinal energy on the opposite side had become extremely solid. He stretched out his hand to touch it, and felt a smooth and cool feeling, as if he was touching real human skin.

He had a smile on his face, very satisfied with it.

Next, he closed his eyes and controlled his mind, and the image in front of him began to move, spinning around him, attracting each other.

Xiao Shen, who was practicing nearby, was awakened. He tilted his head to look for a few seconds, then flew away and sat down, looking at him curiously.

Soon, the Dharma image formed by the medicinal energy containing vitality merged with it.

After the complete fusion, Lu Luan only felt streams of refreshing air flowing through his flesh and blood, and every inch of his flesh and blood began to absorb and merge like a hungry baby.

This is not transformation and absorption, but rather coexistence in a unique and magical way, similar to parasitism. The two are closely connected and influence each other.

Xiao Can was very aware of Lu Luan's changes, but was afraid of disturbing him, so he excitedly whispered, "Brother's essence seems to be rising. It seems that my medicine is taking effect."

The origin represents a person's foundation, and it is also a manifestation of vitality, strength, etc. After practicing the Xiantian Five Qi Jue, his origin was much stronger than that of the casual cultivators of the same level, but he did not expect that it could be improved now.

After the initial fusion of his physical body and Dharma image, Lu Luan opened his eyes, not disguising his excitement. He looked at his palms, feeling his body still changing, and said with a smile:

"This magical power is really strange. With just this little bit of medicinal energy, I can already feel big changes in my body. If I get seriously injured in the future, I'm afraid I won't need to swallow pills to recover on my own. If I can get a huge amount of medicinal energy to support me, can I be considered to have cultivated a physical body that only spiritual medicine caves can have in advance? Can a drop of blood become medicine, and can severed limbs be regenerated?"

He felt that the future changes of this magical power would definitely be very similar to the Spiritual Medicine Cave Heaven, but in order to reach that level, it would require a huge amount of resources.

"It can obviously be practiced with a little tinkering, but He Yun actually left it in the library and ignored it. It's such a waste of this great magical power. But it's a good thing he didn't like it, otherwise I wouldn't have the chance to get it."

After thinking about how he got it, he suddenly felt lucky. Judging from the performance of this magical power now, he had been greatly underestimated by He Yun before. He did not spend any effort to practice it, so naturally he did not feel the changes in it.

"Brother, congratulations."

Xiao Can flew in front of him with a smile.

"I have to thank you very much for this," Lu Luan reached out and pinched its pink little face.

"Hey, brother, let's go buy some spiritual herbs now. I'll sort out more medicinal energy for you so that your magical power can quickly reach a certain level."

The little fellow was very active in his work, and looked impatient. Seeing that Xu was happy, he was also very happy.

"Don't worry, I haven't completely integrated the Dharmakaya yet. It will take some time." Lu Luan shook his head. Now it's just the initial integration, and it will take some time to settle.

"Okay," Xiaocan said with some regret in his eyes.

Lu Luan seemed to have thought of something, and said to it: "You should go back to Huangting first, I have other things to do now."

"Okay." Xiao Can nodded obediently, then turned into a green light and flew into his chest.

"It's time to see how it changes."

Next, Lu Luan muttered to himself and moved his fingers slightly. Then, something appeared above his palm. It was the magic seedling.

This magic tree has been with him for quite some time, and he has never treated it unfairly. Soul power is its best nourishment. After absorbing so many souls, its branches and leaves have become more luxuriant than before.

However, Lu Luan's gaze was not on the leaves, but on a green fruit hidden deep among them.

"The souls of those two people have been completely absorbed."

After such a short period of time, the souls of the two Zhou family members in the middle stage of foundation building had all turned into nutrients, and the fruit had finally grown to its normal size, but it was still very tender.

After sensing the profound spiritual fluctuations in it, Lu Luan frowned and murmured, "It seems that I have to spend spiritual stones to buy some beast souls to ripen it."

After witnessing the horror of the God-Slaying Technique, he knew how important this fruit was to him. The attack from the God-Slaying Technique was extremely powerful and much more useful than the talisman.

Next, he looked at his storage ring. After counting, he said silently, "There are about 700 intermediate spirit stones left. 400 should be enough to buy beast souls. I will keep some of the rest for backup, and use the rest to buy spirit medicines and let Xiao Shen sort out more medicinal energy."

He already had a good family background, and with the money from the two people from the Zhou family, although he spent some money on this Yanbo Island, his wealth was still good.

The most urgent task is to have a few more strands of powerful soul sword energy in the Purple Mansion, so that you will feel at ease wherever you go, especially the one that you used for the first time.

After making up his mind, he went out and started searching on Yanbo Island.

On an island like this, the souls of cultivators are hard to buy and few people dare to sell them. Although the effects of beast souls are much worse, they can only be used as a substitute.

Beast souls are considered to be one of the precious things on monsters. They can be used to refine weapons or even practice martial arts. They are not difficult to find on Yanbo Island, and many shops sell them.

So it didn't take him much effort to purchase enough monster souls.

The next step is to look for ginseng-like spiritual herbs. Of course, with spiritual stones, these are not difficult tasks.

After several hours of preparation, all the family assets had been used up, and the storage ring was empty. There were only a few pills for restoring the true essence, a magic talisman, and dozens of spirit stones for circulation.

After returning to the secret room, he threw the spiritual herbs to Xiao Can for processing.

As for the purchased beast souls, they were all absorbed by the Demon Spirit Tree. This Demon Spirit Tree had a bit of intelligence, and Lu Luan could clearly feel its disdain for the beast souls. It seemed to be complaining about the bad taste, but it still obediently began to entangle its roots in them.

As for what to do next, he began to further practice his physical body, and with the blessing of the leaves that enhanced his understanding, he was able to move forward steadily.

The small ginseng in Huangting worked very hard, taking root in the spiritual soil, and several ginseng-like spiritual medicines floated beside it, evaporating "mist" little by little. These were the medicinal qi of the spiritual ginsengs it sorted out, and as for some messy ones, it swallowed them into its stomach, and finally provided them to its brother after absorption and transformation.

As his practice of the physical body deepened, and more medicinal energy was incorporated into it, his flesh and blood became full of vitality, just like the new buds that sprout on the branches after the ice and snow melt in spring.

Moreover, the whole person becomes more energetic and his temperament is refreshed.

……

The clouds are so deep that no one knows where they are, hanging in the middle of the green mountains.

Silence.

"boom!"

Soon, waves of air currents spread from the mountain to the distance.

Suddenly, a cold and beautiful woman wearing purple spiritual patterns appeared in mid-air. She looked ahead, and her calm eyes began to fluctuate slightly. She said softly, "It seems that the inheritance of the mermaids has taken effect."

On the lake in the center of the mountain, a woman in green with a cool temperament was sitting cross-legged. Around her, eighteen white jade pillars engraved with special patterns broke through the lake surface and emitted strange light that enveloped it.

At the same time, under the influence of a huge force, the light between the woman's eyebrows shone violently, and at the same time, earth-shaking changes were taking place inside her body.

An hour later.

All the fluctuations disappeared and the light faded.

The woman on the water slowly opened her eyes and stood on the water. There was a strange look in her eyes. It was unknown what she was thinking. She just said softly: "Maybe..."

Soon, the woman appeared in front of him.

The woman in green bowed and said, "Master."

The woman nodded and said, "You have refined your spiritual roots. Very good, very good."

“If Master hadn’t spent so many treasures to help me, I would never have been able to do it.” The woman replied.

"Come back to the palace with me first." The woman turned around.

But the woman did not move.

The woman stopped, looked at her, and asked, "Do you want to say something?"

The green-clothed woman stepped forward and saluted, asking, "Master, you said that I can leave the sect once after refining my spiritual roots. Is this true?"

The woman glanced at her calmly, then said, "Of course I take it seriously, but not now. The training outside the domain is about to begin, so prepare yourself well."

"Outside the territory?"

"Yes, I have worked so hard to get a place for you."

The woman seemed to know what she was thinking and said, "There may be something you want in it."

The woman in green clenched her fists and followed the woman away.

……

Time flies, and just like that, another three months have passed.

In the secret room, Lu Luan, who looked like a completely different person than before, slowly opened his eyes.

After carefully feeling the changes in himself, he said in surprise: "My body seems to have the potential for improvement again!"

He discovered that the shackles that restricted the Innate Five Qi Art were actually beginning to fade. Although the change was not very obvious, he could still feel it clearly. How could he not be excited about this discovery?

"Yes, the physical body Dharmakaya can enrich the physical body's Qi and blood and increase strength. Although I used medicinal Qi to refine it, it must have this effect. Moreover, the medicinal Qi also made my essence stronger, and there will be some changes. It seems that I can improve my strength from this aspect in the future."

He gradually became happy. His cultivation was limited by his spiritual roots and could not be improved quickly, but his physical strength was different. As long as he broke the shackles brought by the realm, with the essence-refining technique and treasures, he could improve quickly.

This discovery was like a ray of sunshine in the dark night!

Lu Luan added, "Also, my body is now being cleansed by the medicinal energy in the Dharma image, so ordinary injuries will surely recover quickly on their own." After all, he only invested two or three hundred spirit stones, and he was already very satisfied to have achieved this. As the ginseng grows in the future and more spirit herbs are invested, he believes there will be even greater surprises.

After suppressing his excitement, he sank his soul into the Huangting again. The small ginseng stretched its branches and leaves inside and grew very well. However, after helping him deal with so many spiritual herbs, Lu Luan could clearly feel that it was very tired. He said in a deep voice: "It's really worked hard for it."

"That magic fruit should be ripe now."

With a thought, he took out the magic tree from the storage ring.

Under the thin leaves, the fruit was already fully ripe, surrounded by wisps of golden spiritual mist, and the fragrance was fragrant. The beast souls had been completely absorbed.

"Ok?"

However, after looking at it, Lu Luan frowned slightly, because although this fruit was already ripe, it was not as bright as the previous one, and the fluctuations it emitted were also a little lacking, and it felt a little flawed.

"It seems that it really requires a highly intelligent soul, but it's not a big problem."

After he finished speaking, he took the fruit down, looked at it in his hand for a while, and then cut it in half with his finger knife.

With his current level of cultivation and his further improvement in the God-Slaying Technique, he has no problem withstanding the medicinal power of the two halves of fruit.

After adjusting his breathing slightly, he put half of the fruit pulp into his mouth.

The medicinal power dissipated, and the soul fire in his purple palace burned violently. The killing sword hanging in it felt the rich soul power pouring in and began to tremble slightly.

A wisp of powerful Yuanshen sword energy slowly appeared.

Another five days passed.

"call."

Lu Luan let out a long breath, then casually retracted the leaf from his forehead and said softly, "I have finally absorbed it all. Now I have two more trump cards."

Feeling the two extremely strong sword auras in the purple palace, he finally felt confident again.

This magic fruit produced two strands of sword energy, giving him two extremely powerful means of attack.

"It's been more than half a year. I should go check on Tianjue Island to prevent anything else from happening to me."

He muttered to himself, thinking that he didn't get what he wanted from Huang Jingyu, he was really afraid that he would get nothing on Tianjue Island again.

He stood up and walked out of the secret room. He stayed in this place for half a year. Of course, these six months were not wasted. He gained a lot, such as finally mastering the physical body. Of course, he also lost a lot. Now the storage ring is really clean.

……

On the street, people were coming and going. Lu Luan said to himself, "It's been more than half a year. The tiger grouper must have laid its eggs. With my current strength, I should be able to snatch them from it."

He knew that the tiger grouper's greatest means of attack was the tentacle-like thing on its neck. He just had to be careful and keep a distance, then find a way to lure it away and trap it with the array plate, so that he could get the fish eggs.

The tiger-headed grouper is a rare beast. Before laying eggs, it will kill many sea monsters, swallow their flesh and blood, and transform them into essence to store in its eggs. It is very helpful for cultivators to make breakthroughs, so it is usually in short supply. Once it appears, it will be snatched up crazily. Its preciousness is self-evident.

As for killing the people from the Zhou family, more than half a year has passed and the storm must have calmed down. He is not too worried about this. Besides, who would have thought that he would go back instead of running away?

"Let's go to Wang's house and take the teleportation array first."

He turned around and headed towards the direction of Wang's house where he came from.

Yanbo Island is too far away from Lingding Island. If he flies alone, it will take a lot of time. Moreover, he will be flying over the Uncrossed Sea on the way, and there might be some unexpected changes. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles such as encountering powerful sea monsters, it is more convenient to take the teleportation array.

……

The following process was naturally extremely smooth, but we still had to wait at the Wang family for several hours.

The outdated teleportation array was finally activated.

He was really worried that this formation would not be able to hold up and would collapse halfway.

An hour later.

"Is it coming?"

In the transmission channel, Lu Luan saw a dazzling white light coming from the front.

When the body passed through, a familiar scene appeared before him.

"Daoyou, it's you."

As soon as I came out, a familiar voice came into my ears.

Lu Luan looked over and found that it was the woman who entertained him last time. After jumping off the teleportation platform, he chuckled and said, "I have done my job and I am back. I still feel comfortable staying in this Hanluo Sea."

The woman looked at Lu Luan with a strange look in her eyes, somewhat surprised at his current change. The memory of a foundation-building cultivator is amazing, even if it is just a single encounter, they can remember it clearly for more than ten years.

After chatting with him casually and friendly for a while, Lu Luan left.

"Let's find a place first and find out how the Zhou family has reacted during this period."

After walking out of the building, he headed towards the place where information was sold on the island.

Having stayed on the island for quite some time, he was familiar with the location.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

"It seems to be in the past."

Lu Luan put down the jade pendant in his hand, slowly opened his eyes and smiled.

The jade pendant recorded many major and minor events that happened to the Zhou family in that year. There was no news about any strong person in the family being killed, nor was there any news about anyone being hunted down.

He felt relieved now. In fact, the Zhou family had many enemies, grudges, internal struggles, and it was not the first time that someone in the family was killed. Besides, this was not a matter of the main line or any important person, so he would not be entangled with it forever.
