A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 872 Expectation

After careful selection, he collected a glass hairpin with a willow leaf pattern.

After some polite small talk, he left the Refining Treasure Tower.

"Elder Lu."

I just came to the street and haven't walked for a while.

A familiar figure fell from the sky in front of him.

It’s Li Ming, Senior Brother Lin Xi.

"Fellow Daoist Li."

Lu Luan walked over.

"Elder Lu, have you just come out of seclusion?" Li Ming asked. He knew that Lu Luan had been in seclusion for many years, practicing his skills.

"Yes, it has been twelve years. I didn't expect that the Immortal City has changed so much."

"Indeed, Haoyue City has indeed undergone a great transformation in recent years." After Li Ming finished speaking, he asked, "Elder Lu, today there will be a competition between the core disciples of Yangling Sect and the core disciples of our Haoyue Sect. Do you want to go and watch?"

This kind of competition, which helps disciples communicate with each other, is held every few days in the city.

"A fight between core disciples..." Lu Luan originally wanted to go back, but when he heard that it was a battle between geniuses of the two sects, he instantly became interested. After all, he knew very little about the core disciples of the sects. Now that he had a chance to see them clearly, he naturally wanted to go, not to mention that there was a genius from the Yangling Sect among them.

At the same time, he also took the opportunity to learn about the methods of the Yangling Sect disciples.

So he nodded and said, "I'll trouble you, Brother Li, to lead the way."

"Haha, let's go."

The two flew together to the competition venue in the city.

People were coming and going on the street and the sun was setting.

……

Lin Xi returned to the courtyard.

"what…"

"Where's Senior Brother Lu?"

Ben was looking forward to it, but when he arrived, he found that Lu Luan was not there.

Feeling a little disappointed, he was about to go outside to look for it, but after changing his mind, he stopped and thought: "Senior Brother Lu should be back soon. He just came out of retreat. Let's make him something to eat."

When immortal cultivators reach their level of cultivation, they no longer need to eat anything. Although their bodies are pure, they lack the worldly air. This kind of life away from worldly affairs seems otherworldly, but in fact it is bland and tasteless.

At this moment, Lin Xi wanted to add some new colors to their lives.

"Well... let's make some pastries and snacks."

Thinking of this, I began to prepare carefully for dinner.

Before I knew it, it was already dusk.

In the attic, on a small low table, there were seven plates of various foods, and next to it was a bottle of fragrant spirit wine.

Lin Xi sat at the table, supporting his chin with one hand and tapping the table with the other hand, looking at the courtyard, waiting quietly, his eyes blank, not knowing what he was thinking, and smiling from time to time.

In fact, she could easily sense where Lu Luan was through the beads and use her soul to send a message to call him back.

But she didn't do so, because the feeling of waiting is also a kind of happiness. Only with waiting can life have expectations.

When the curtains were blown up for dinner, she saw a familiar figure walking outside, with a smile as beautiful as the moonlight on his lips.

"She should be very happy."

Outside the courtyard, Lu Luan held the willow-leaf hairpin in his pocket and thought to himself.

Then he pushed the door open and walked in.

"Brother Lu, you are finally back."

As soon as I entered, I saw a green figure running towards me.

"Xiao Xi."

Lu Luan stopped and held her in his arms.

He bent down and gently kissed her hair.

"I made some food, Brother Lu, let's talk while we eat."

Lin Xi raised his head in his arms and said.

"Really."

Lu Luan looked towards the pavilion and was very surprised. He didn't expect that Lin Xi had prepared food.

"Come."

Lin Xi took his hand and flew upstairs.

"You have a heart."

Looking at the delicious food on the table, Lu Luan felt warm in his heart.

"How about trying the taste?"

Lin Xi took his arm and sat him down, then picked up a piece of cake and fed it into his mouth.

"good to eat."

Lu Luan chewed slowly, his eyes gradually recalling the past. In this scene, he remembered the days at Zhengyang Gate. They were both in their teens then, and it was also like this.

They were weak at that time, and they lived a simple life and were very happy.

"I prepared this carefully. How dare you say it doesn't taste good?"

Lin Xi threatened with her fists clenched. In front of outsiders, she was very dignified, calm and serious. Only with Lu Luan did she show a bit of girlishness.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Lu Luan also looks a lot younger now.

"Senior Brother Lu, now that you have come out of retreat, has Qinglian Temple been completed?" Lin Xi placed a small wine glass in front of him and asked while pouring wine.

The building was filled with the aroma of wine.

"Qinglian Temple was already completed five years ago."

"So fast?" Lin Xi paused and was surprised when he heard Lu Luan's answer.

There are only a dozen or so Xuan-level spiritual exercises in the Haoyue Sect. Although she has never practiced them, she has some understanding of them. It took her seven years to achieve a small degree of success, which requires a very high level of comprehension.

Lu Luan explained: "I was fortunate enough to get a rare lotus in my early years. When I saw the Qinglian Temple, I felt a sense of familiarity in my heart. Now I can achieve twice the result with half the effort by visualizing the Qinglian."

This is why he chose Qinglian Temple.

"It seems that this technique is really suitable for you. There are also elders in the sect who practice this technique, but as far as I know, the earliest one who has achieved minor success in it took ten years."

Lin Xi sat down next to him and poured himself a glass of wine.

She seldom drinks alcohol, but after drinking a glass of wine, her face becomes rosy, but it has a unique charm.

"After I achieved minor success in Qinglian Temple, I had planned to come out of seclusion. I didn't expect that my soul would show signs of merging with my primordial spirit, so I took the opportunity to perform the Infant Condensation Technique. This time, I was away for another five years, and now the signs of fusion have stopped."

Lu Luan also fed her a piece of cake, showing his affection.

"It is not easy to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Even if a core disciple with a medium-level Xuan-level spiritual root succeeds, it will take 20 to 30 years for the soul and the spirit to be completely integrated."

Lin Xi patted his chest, feeling a little uncomfortable due to drinking.

"You are lucky. When you reach the peak of the late Jindan period, your soul and spirit can merge immediately."

Lu Luan took a sip and then filled his mouth up again.

Although Lin Xi is in the late Jindan stage, his soul has already become as strong as that of the Yuanying stage. As long as his cultivation reaches this level, a breakthrough will be a natural thing.

"Brother Lu, it is not very useful for you to continue to retreat in your current situation. I suggest you find a job as an elder in the city and experience more life. This way you can find an opportunity."

Lin Xi also filled his cup.

"That's exactly what I meant."

Lu Luan picked up a piece of monster meat with chopsticks. Just as Lin Xi had said before, practicing is like studying, and one cannot study hard behind closed doors.

Lin Xi raised the cup with his right hand, held up the bottom of the cup with his left hand, and said to him, "Senior Brother Lu."

Lu Luan picked up the cup and clinked it with his.

The wine is strong, and the love is strong.

After they had almost finished eating, Lu Luan stood up, put his hands on her shoulders, and said, "I also prepared something for you."

"Really?" Lin Xi's cheeks were flushed, because he drank too much.

"Look."

Lu Luan placed his hand in front of her, and the carefully selected jade hairpin appeared in his hand.

When Lin Xi saw this thing, his eyes were filled with surprise.

The style and temperament of this hairpin matched her very well, and she said happily: "Thank you, Senior Brother Lu."

After he finished speaking, he urged, “Put it on for me to see.”

Lu Luan pinned the hairpin in her hair.

"How about it?"

Lin Xi asked expectantly.
