A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 699 2 Golden Pill

(The last few sentences of the previous article were written too hastily last night, and they were not placed in the right place. I added them to this chapter. I will update them tonight and make up for them tomorrow. Sorry.)

……

Inside the room.

Shangguan Linglong sat cross-legged in mid-air and took out several bodies of monsters.

The woman's soul stood nearby.

"These monster corpses are good. You should be able to recover in a month." said the woman.

Shangguan Linglong looked at her slightly pale hands and whispered, "I did consume a lot more blood and essence this time."

"It's too difficult for you to maintain the sacrificial ceremony of so many people with your level of cultivation." Looking at her, the woman's eyes were filled with pain.

"Aunt Mei, this should be my last attempt to reach a new realm. I want to borrow the power of the cave heaven."

Shangguan Linglong said something abruptly.

It sounded like he was just talking casually, but his eyes revealed deep determination.

"The power of the cave? No! When you attack, your mind will be trapped by the curse in your soul. If the power of the cave gets out of control, it will cost you your life."

The woman immediately objected, and there was even some anger in her eyes.

Shangguan Linglong remained calm as she murmured in a low voice, "Aunt Mei, I don't have much time left. During the previous attacks, I felt that my spiritual roots were not as vigorous as before, and my talent was declining. I wanted to use the power of the cave and the Buddhist items to suppress it and fight one last time. I can't wait any longer."

"Linglong, you can't..."

"Aunt Mei, I have made up my mind."

After she finished speaking, she gently waved her hands and pressed on the corpses of these monsters. As the Blood Demon Body Refining Technique was activated, a red shadow began to appear behind her. The blood in the corpses of the monsters gathered into lines and was absorbed into her body.

With a large amount of blood nourishment, the shadow of the blood demon behind him became more solid.

When the woman saw her like this, she knew that she could not change her decision.

outside.

Lu Luan sat in the courtyard outside and waited quietly. With a thought, he released the barrier.

"The barrier has become so much stronger."

Looking around, he was a little surprised.

I didn't expect that after opening the True Dragon Cave, the barrier would become so hard.

"This is perfect. I can set up a few large formations in the True Dragon Cave Heaven and continue to improve my strength."

Seeing how solid the barrier is now, he began to think about setting up a formation in the True Dragon Cave. If the formation is completed, he will have another skill.

"But I'm afraid it will cost a lot of spirit stones."

Lu Luan shook his head. He knew that setting up a large formation would require a lot of resources.

With his current strength, if he wanted to set up a formation, he would definitely set up a large killing formation that could pose a threat to a late Jindan cultivator. However, a formation of this level would cost several thousand high-level spirit stones.

In the Jindan realm, since resources need to be spent carefully on cultivation, usually only those who are over 250 years old will set up a large formation in the cave. Because at this age, there is basically no potential for advancement. If you want to improve your strength again, you can only rely on external forces such as formations.

Of course, this does not apply to people from powerful forces. They don’t need these few spirit stones as long as it can improve their strength.

Lu Luan was just thinking about arranging the formation now, because it would be better to spend the energy on cultivation instead of arranging the formation.

"Hey, what's going on in the cave?"

He looked around the True Dragon Cave and found something strange.

True Dragon Cave Heaven is absorbing essence from the body.

He had actually sensed this a long time ago, and what surprised him was that the essence was converging towards the center.

Lu Luan was very familiar with this feeling. Isn't it just using his essence and energy to condense the golden elixir?

This trend has already begun to appear in the True Dragon Cave Heaven, but due to insufficient vital energy, the golden elixir cannot be condensed at all.

"One cave and one golden elixir, that's it."

Seeing the changes in the True Dragon Cave, Lu Luan was amazed at first, but after realizing something, a bitter look suddenly appeared on his face.

It took him a huge amount of resources to break through for one golden elixir, and now he needed another one. It would be like adding insult to injury for him who already had limited funds.

Now there is no need to think about setting up the formation. Just spend the spirit stones to feed out this golden elixir first.

Raising one "child" is already very difficult, and now there is another one, which makes me exhausted.

Lu Luan looked at his palm, on which the dragon scales appeared and disappeared with his thoughts, and thought: "But the upper limit of my realm's potential must have increased."

He guessed that if he had not opened the True Dragon Cave Heaven, he would only have the power of three dragons at most in the middle stage of the Golden Core. Now that he has two cave heavens, he should be able to have about five dragons.

Considering that the True Dragon Cave Heaven could double the strength, it seemed worthwhile to spend a little more resources.

"Hey, Linglong..."

Lu Luan looked towards the house, his eyes became deep. He was not made of wood, so he could naturally feel Shangguan Linglong's feelings. A woman who had suffered so much for him, even if his heart was as hard as a rock, could not help being moved.

Thinking of Shangguan Linglong, he felt complicated.

"Ok?"

Just as he was thinking, he sensed the woman coming, and Lu Luan put away the barrier.

"senior."

He said hello.

The woman came and sat down opposite him.

"How is Linglong?" Lu Luan asked.

The woman replied, "It will take about a month to recover, but Linglong's current situation is very difficult."

"Senior, are you referring to her cultivation?"

The woman's eyes were filled with worry. "Well, I originally thought that she should have no problem breaking through after her Huangting recovered, but I didn't expect that the mark in her soul would be so stubborn and suppress her. Linglong has attacked dozens of times over the years, but each time she failed to break through and was seriously injured at the last moment. She even almost died a few times."

"That is the curse in her family's bloodline. The demonic sect used it specifically to suppress people like her. It should be difficult to break this curse."

Lu Luan's expression became solemn. He knew that Shangguan Linglong was struck by a curse similar to the Forbidden Blood Curse. He had seen this kind of curse at an auction in the Corpse Refining Sect's sphere of influence before he was about to go to the outside world. Of course, several elders from the Blood Spirit Sect also wanted to buy it.

So he had some understanding of this curse.

"good."

The woman nodded heavily and continued, "The demon sect killed all of Linglong's clansmen and used the clan's resentment to suppress her. Although Linglong's experiences since childhood have made her extremely indifferent, she cares deeply about the lives of those she cares about. Because the calamity of the clan's annihilation was caused by her, it has become a demon in her heart. It was difficult for her to break through, and now she has another demon in her heart, making it even more difficult to break through."

“Is there any solution to this problem?”

Lu Luan asked.

The woman raised her head slightly, with a look of helplessness in her eyes.

Lu Luan actually knew that since Linglong's family was raised by the Demon Sect as training materials, the curse in their blood must be extremely vicious, and it was meant to prevent her family from ever rising again.

There is the suppression of the genocide karma in the bloodline, and it is on the soul and bloodline. There is no hope at all to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

“Linglong is now collecting Buddhist things, hoping to use the Buddha nature to suppress the karma and resentment in the soul imprint to increase the possibility of a breakthrough.” said the woman.

"Buddhist cultivation... Is this method feasible?"

Lu Luan frowned.

The woman sighed and said, "Although the Buddhist cultivation items can suppress those resentful karma, they can also suppress the demonic cultivation. Although the hope is slim, she has to give it a try after all. And this time, she wants to use the power of the cave heaven."

"The power of the cave."

Lu Luan frowned even deeper. If there were inner demons and curses interfering with the breakthrough, using the power of the cave sky would be too risky.

"Is there really no other way? What about destroying that demon sect?"

Lu Luan said.

"If her people had not been killed, it would have been possible to enter the tribe and break the original curse, but now that karma is weighing on me, it's useless."

The woman's eyes looked very weak.

Lu Luan fell silent.

After a while, the woman looked up at him with a rare serious expression and said, "I still have one last way, but it is also the last resort. If Linglong really can't break through the realm, I hope you can promise me one thing."

"Please tell me, senior. I will definitely agree."

Lu Luan assured.

"It's good that you agree, but that matter can only wait until later. For now, you should focus on helping her break through."

The woman was in no hurry to tell the method or the request.

"How can I help?"

"Help her fulfill her wish first and destroy the demon sect's forces."

The woman said with murderous intent.

"can."

Lu Luan agreed. The fact that the woman said so showed that his current strength was more than enough.
