Chapter 281 1 years
"This young man's physical strength is about three thousand fierce horses, about the same as mine before. I just don't know what kind of essence-refining technique he practices?"
Lu Luan was an experienced person and he could see the strength in the young man's fists and feet.
There are many different methods of refining essence, some of them are like his Innate Five Qi Technique, which involves sucking substances containing essence to improve the body, some are like swallowing strange fire and jade, or even thunder and lightning to temper the body, etc., all of them are mysterious, and even related to the type of cave heaven that will be formed in the future.
The method of refining essence is rare, but some independent cultivators may sometimes obtain it by chance. He had seen some of them when he participated in the Pengling Fairy Meeting, and he also made friends with one of them.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the young man was hit by a palm print from the elder of Xuanshui Sect and was knocked away.
The Xuanshui Sect elder also knew that he could not defeat the young man physically, so he kept a certain distance from him. The young man's speed was not an advantage, so he could not use his physical strength.
If it weren't for his strong body that could hold on, he would have been taken down long ago.
"Boy, just surrender. You can't escape this time."
The young man was injured and vomiting blood. Seeing this, the elder said coldly.
"Are you, a big sect, willing to do such a dirty thing?" The young man stood up from the ground with difficulty, leaning on his sword. After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he glared at them.
"Hmph, you severely injured our talented disciple for no reason, how can I let you go like this?" The elder snorted and attacked again, and at the same time said in a low voice: "We have already found out your origins. Seven years ago, you were just an ordinary small casual cultivator in the Hanluo Sea, and you were still a mortal spiritual root. You have improved to this level in such a short time. Tell me honestly, where did you get your essence refining technique? And what other adventures have you had? If you cooperate, our sect can give your soul a chance to reincarnate."
After the young man struck back with a sword, he fled in panic, turned back and said angrily: "If I can escape this disaster today, I will wipe out your entire family in the future to avenge you."
"Then we can't let you go."
The young man's words made the Xuanshui Sect elder's heart sink. The murderous intent in his eyes became stronger and his attacks became more fierce.
Although this young man is only an ordinary spiritual root, he must have had a great adventure. We cannot be careless at all. If we let him go, there will be endless troubles.
"Brother, that young man is actually a mortal spiritual root just like you."
Xiao Can suddenly said to him in surprise. Due to the far distance and the special geographical situation of Tianjue Island, he did not hear their conversation, but Xiao Can noticed it.
"He is also a mortal spiritual root, and he looks several years younger than me. How could he have such strength?"
When Lu Luan heard this, he was shocked.
He didn't have this strength when he was a young man.
In fact, if he hadn't had the soul seed given by the sect, he would most likely still be at the Qi Refining stage. If it weren't for the Blood Evil Technique, he would have stopped at the initial stage of Foundation Building.
He knew very well how difficult it was for an ordinary spiritual root to reach this point. Now, it was the first time he saw someone who had the same ordinary spiritual roots as himself but whose strength was enough to barely fight against a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.
"Well, that person also said that he was an ordinary casual cultivator at the level of Qi Refining seven years ago. He must have had some adventures."
Xiaocan gave him another thunderbolt.
"In seven years, he has grown from Qi Refining to this level of strength. It seems that he has encountered some great adventure. No wonder the Xuanshui Sect has made such a big fuss."
Lu Luan's mind suddenly became turbulent and it was difficult to calm down.
It is certain that even many people with outstanding talents and yellow spiritual roots cannot achieve such a fast improvement speed.
Even the ignorant Xiao Can knew that it was unusual, so naturally others thought so too.
After a flash of thought, Lu Luan seemed to be thinking about something, and said softly: "Let's go back to Huangting first."
"Ah."
Xiao Can immediately went in.
Next, Lu Luan looked forward, moved his hand, and a black sword appeared.
At the same time, an incomprehensible light flashed in his eyes.
He was very interested in the adventures that the young man had.
But just as he was about to take action, he suddenly felt something, his eyes suddenly looked to the side, and his face looked a little unhappy.
In the distance, three figures were seen breaking through the air and flying in the sky. Their powerful skills directly tore apart the various restrictions blocking their way.
"It's the late stage of foundation building. People from Xuanshui Sect have arrived. They are really anxious."
He knew from the aura that this person was a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, and he could tell at a glance that he was from the Xuanshui Sect.
"I didn't expect that he was one step faster than me!"
Seeing that the contact person had arrived, Lu Luan showed regret in his eyes.
If he were given more than thirty breaths of time, he was confident that he could seize the young man's adventure and find out the truth.
But he was late.
Seeing these strong men getting closer, he restrained his breath and sneaked away.
That young man was definitely not going to escape. In order to keep the news secret, the people from Xuanshui Sect would probably kill him if they found out about him.
The late stage of foundation building is definitely the highest level of Xuanshui Sect. He has things to protect his soul, and his soul is already strong. His soul-slaying technique is still lacking in maturity, and even if he hits the opponent's soul, it cannot destroy the opponent's soul, so it is not a big threat to this kind of master.
Moreover, if the God-Slaying Technique were to be exposed, his fate would probably be the same as that young man's. No, it would definitely be even more serious. By then, the Xuanshui Sect might not be the only force left.
Soon, he disappeared into the forest without a sound.
The noise of the battle behind him began to subside shortly after he left. With the joining of people in the late foundation building stage, the young man could not escape even if he had great abilities.
"Hey, it would be nice if we could get there sooner."
After a while, Lu Luan knew it was almost time, so he stopped, looked back into the distance, and sighed softly, full of regret and sorrow.
"Xuanshui Sect has found a great treasure."
He shook his head, his mood still restless.
He knew that the adventure that young man had must be extraordinary. If he could snatch it, it would definitely be of great help to his cultivation. Although the adventure was not his, he could take it. This might be an opportunity for him, whose cultivation was already difficult to improve. Now that he had missed it, he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
"It seems that I have to be more cautious when using the God-Slaying Technique and physical strength in the future." After a while, he calmed down and murmured with a serious brow.
What he had just seen and heard was a wake-up call for him. His own strength was not enough to keep his secret. If he was discovered, that would be the fate of the young man.
After feeling it for a while, he said softly, "It seems that I have to buy a good talisman to hide the power of my physical body."
Although he is hiding wherever he goes now, his means are limited, and he may not be able to hide in front of some strong people in the late foundation building stage.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was necessary.
After staying for a while, he continued to look for the elixir with a lingering feeling.
……
"Brother, there is a ghost."
The next day, when Lu Luan was wandering around the periphery and continuing to search for spiritual herbs, Xiao Shen on his shoulder suddenly said.
"Ghost."
Lu Luan stopped, his eyes showing solemnity, and asked: "Where are you? How strong are you?"
If you were to ask what the most dangerous thing on Tianjue Island is, it would definitely be the evil spirits. They are not restricted by the rules of the island, and many people are swallowed to death by them silently.
After staying on this island for so many days, this was the second time he encountered such a thing.
"It's hiding so well behind the red-leaf tree thirty feet in front of you on the right. I almost didn't notice it. It's now watching us secretly. I can't tell its strength, but it's much smaller than the one I saw last time. It should be much weaker. Should we pay attention to it?" Xiao Can replied.
At this position, his soul has been suppressed and his perception range is very limited, so he can only rely on Xiao Can.
"Don't bother."
The ghost's attack methods are very difficult to predict, and it is not made of flesh and blood. Ordinary means can only force it back, and it is very difficult to kill it.
Besides, even if you kill it, you can't take it out of the island, so there's no need to bother with it. It would be bad if you encounter danger.
"Hmm? This ghost is like a soul, it can corrode the souls of living beings. It should contain rich soul power. I wonder if it can be useful to the magic tree?"
He suddenly thought of some characteristics of this ghost, so he slowly stopped.
"What's wrong, brother?"
Xiao Can noticed that something was wrong with him and asked.
"I want to catch one and see what this ghost is like."
Lu Luan walked forward.
"Brother, that ghost is trying to escape."
Perhaps sensing Lu Luan’s strong strength, the evil spirit revealed itself and tried to escape.
Lu Luan looked and found that in the air thirty feet ahead, there was a ball of red "mist" rolling and changing into various shapes.
This is the true form of the ghost.
"It's not that easy to escape."
Lu Luan immediately chased after it and asked Xiao Can, "Can you control it?"
"Let me try."
After saying that, Xiao Can closed his eyes and a special wave spread out.
When the ghost was running away, many dense ice cones appeared around it and stabbed at it.
These ice cones were naturally transformed by Xiao Shen. Although he was not good at attacking, the power of these ice cones was enough to kill people at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining.
The ghost has no flesh and blood, so these ice cones penetrated its body directly and tore it into pieces like cloth.
The ghost felt pain and began to scream.
However, in the process of screaming, they miraculously came together again.
Although the damage caused was not great, it slowed down its speed.
Xiao Shen immediately volunteered: "Brother, leave it to me, I can catch it!"
It has found out the secrets of this evil spirit and wants to give it a try.
After he finished speaking, a burst of green light appeared around him.
The ghost suddenly froze in mid-air, as if it was trapped in a restriction.
This is the range of its domain. Although its unique power of confinement is not as good as that on Tianjue Island, it is enough to deal with this kind of evil spirit that does not have the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"Brother, I'm awesome, right?"
Seeing that he had been captured, Xiao Can flew to him and asked for credit.
Lu Luan smiled and nodded, "Let's go back to Huangting first, be careful not to let this guy eat your soul."
"Okay," Xiao Can flew in obediently.
Although he had caught him, he did not dare to be careless. After all, the soul was more important than the spirit.
Then he took out the magic seedling from a certain distance.
After the tree appeared, its roots began to sway and slowly spread forward, as if to swallow it up.
"Sure enough."
Lu Luan smiled. When he saw the unusual movement of the demon seedling, he knew that it was just as he thought.
But soon his brows furrowed, because the roots stopped spreading when they were about two meters long, as if they were very afraid.
"It seems that we have to shake off the consciousness of this evil spirit."
After muttering something, he slightly rotated his palms at his sides and slapped forward with his powerful true energy.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the trees within a radius of 20 meters were shaken to one side and fell over! The ones that were close were even uprooted.
The ghost that was still struggling finally stopped moving after a scream.
It was just like a ball of ordinary red gas floating in the air.
No matter whether it has flesh and blood or not, even the soul of a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building will be shaken to pieces and his mind will be destroyed under this power.
After the storm subsided, the demon seedling shot out its roots again, and this time it smoothly wrapped around the ball of gas and pulled it over.
"Yes, it does contain rich soul power. It seems that the ghosts on this island are not useless to me."
A smile appeared on Lu Luan's face. He was worrying about how to collect souls to cultivate the magic tree.
"But it seems to be very difficult to absorb."
After watching for a while, his smile slowly disappeared. He found that it seemed very difficult for the magic seedling to absorb the soul power of the evil spirit. It was like an old puppet running, several times slower than humans and monsters.
Of course, as long as it is useful, he doesn’t mind it being slow.
After putting away the demon seedlings, he continued to do his own thing.
Just like that, a month later.
Lu Luan left Tianjue Island and flew to Tianli Island.
Although he mostly moved between the middle and outer areas during this period, he also found a lot of good things on the island. Now he came out to exchange them for treasures for practicing the Five Qi Jue to increase his strength.
He looked at the storage ring and smiled, "At this rate, if everything goes well, it won't take long for me to increase my physical strength to its maximum."
Although this would require tens of thousands or even more intermediate spirit stones to support it, Tianjue Island was very large, and even if he only searched in the middle and outer areas, it would be enough to support him in improving his physical body.
Fortunately, he had Xiao Can's help, otherwise he would not be so comfortable with it.
Of course, he also knew that Xiao Can's ability was limited and he could not clearly feel some dangers, so he did not explore too deep.
After a short rest on Tianli Island, he flew to other places.
It has become difficult to find treasures suitable for his cultivation on Lingding Island and Tianjue Island.
……
Time flies and a year has passed.
During this period, Lu Luan had been quietly moving around the periphery of Tianjue Island. After searching for a certain amount of spiritual herbs, he would go out to exchange them. After his physical body was strengthened to its strongest level, he would return to continue searching, and so on.
In a cave on the island.
Lu Luan sat cross-legged in mid-air, colorful light emanating from his body, and his aura became stronger.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard from the calm sea surface, and the whole island trembled. Dozens of huge rocks were blown away by a powerful force and thrown high into the air.
Lu Luan flew out of the cave, stood lightly on the sea, looked at his palms, and clenched his fists slightly. It was just a small test. He broke the cave ceiling with a casual punch.
"With the power of more than eight thousand fierce horses and the help of my physical strength, there should be few people who can pose a threat to me now that I am in the middle stage of foundation building. Those in the late stage of foundation building will not be able to defeat me for a while." Lu Luan's estimate is still conservative.
It has only been half a year, but he was very surprised at the speed of improvement. His strength has nearly doubled.
"I have finally reached my limit. Next, I should prepare to improve my cultivation. I can also take my time and do other things."
Lu Luan chuckled and said, even though he had only doubled his physical strength, the amount of intermediate spirit stones he had spent had reached more than ten thousand!
Although the Jing Lian Gong method can improve strength quickly, it consumes too many spirit stones. This is why many forces have Jing Lian Gong methods, but only a very small number of geniuses in the forces can practice them. There is no other reason for this: they cannot afford it.
Now he can finally relax his physical body and concentrate on using spirit stones to improve his cultivation. Now he has the strength to go deeper into Tianjue Island and obtain more resources.
