A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 151 Fighting Zhou Bufan

Although the Five Elements Sword Controlling Technique is not a magical power of the first level, its destructive power is extraordinary when activated by the Innate Five Qi Jue.

only……

When the four flying swords were just three feet away from Zhou Bufan, they stopped in midair as if they had encountered a transparent wall! No matter how they swung, they could not move forward at all.

"Ah!"

Lu Luan arrived with a sword and chopped at his head with all his strength.

However, Zhou Bufan just waved his sleeves casually, and Lu Luan and his four swords flew backwards.

"If that's all, it might not be enough."

Zhou Bufan spoke to him lightly.

Lu Luan was still retreating, and finally, he retreated fifty feet away, landed on a rock platform, and then retreated several steps before finally stopping.

"So strong."

Lu Luan looked at the man in white in front of him in shock. At this moment, he had only this one thought in his mind. The other party gave him the feeling of an insurmountable towering mountain!

"Is that all? Is there anything else that can surprise me?"

Zhou Bufan stood in mid-air, looking at him from afar, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Then try this trick!"

Lu Luan's expression became serious, and his fingers lightly stroked the sword. At the same time, a two-meter-wide magic seal slowly appeared under his feet.

This is the heavy sword technique. It is the first time he uses it and he has not yet experienced it carefully. It is just right to use it at this moment.

When the seal under his feet took shape, the rocks within the range seemed to be suppressed by a powerful force! They began to crack into pieces! The long sword in his hand suddenly became as heavy as a thousand pounds! A heavy aura emanated from his whole body.

The muscles in Lu Luan's arms also began to bulge.

He felt that the sword in his hand was no longer a sword, but a simple heavy weapon! Like a stick or a hammer. In this state, he could not use any magic swordsmanship at all, but the more so, the more focused, purer, and more terrifying its killing power became.

If it weren't for the strong physical strength to support him, an ordinary disciple at the eighth level of Qi Refining might not even be able to lift the sword in this seal.

This is the power of the yellow-level secret technique. Within the range, people with weak cultivation will even be crushed to death by this seal!

"Snapped!"

Next, Lu Luan slowly bent his legs, then pushed off the ground with sudden force, and the whole person rushed towards Zhou Bufan like a sharp arrow.

As for the ground he had just stepped on, it had completely split apart.

"That was a good shot."

There was some surprise in Zhou Bufan's eyes, and he nodded with satisfaction.

"what!"

In the blink of an eye, Lu Luan appeared in front of Zhou Bufan. He let out an involuntary roar from his throat, raised his sword, and without holding back, used all his strength to chop down the extremely heavy sword in his hand.

Zhou Bufan didn't dodge or evade, and he didn't even move his feet. When he saw the attack coming towards him, he calmly stretched out his right hand in a pressing position, and then lightly flicked the sharp sword blade.

For a moment, it seemed as if time had stood still.

"Snapped!"

What followed was an uproar.

The next moment, an extremely loud sound was heard, and at the same time a turbulent wave erupted from the collision point!

The entire space was like a huge rock falling onto a calm lake, causing huge ripples that spread out in all directions.

Lu Luan only felt that his sword had hit an extremely hard and motionless piece of diamond. At the same time, an extremely huge and terrifying force came along the sword.

The force instantly bounced his hand and the hilt of the sword apart, and he was also knocked back by the force.

As for the sword, it had flown diagonally and got nailed on the mountain wall.

After two breaths, Lu Luan finally stopped in mid-air. With a look of horror in his eyes, he retracted his sword and flew in front of him, bowing and saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou, for showing mercy."

"You can launch such an attack at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Many core disciples with yellow spiritual roots cannot do it. You are very good."

Zhou Bufan retracted his momentum and said with appreciation.

"Brother Zhou, you are too kind."

Lu Luan was very modest, and then asked with some anticipation, "I wonder what Senior Brother Zhou wants to talk to me about?"

Zhou Bufan turned around and walked to the side, saying as he walked: "In half a month, Changge Valley is planning to hold a four-sect martial arts competition. This is a big deal for our Zhengyang Sect, so we need to select some disciples with good strength to participate in the competition. Of course, the competition is just an introduction, and the real purpose is to discuss how to fight against the Demon Sect together."

"So troublesome?" Lu Luan was puzzled. He could discuss it, but did he have to watch the disciples compete before he could continue the conversation? Of course, this was just what he thought in his mind. How could he possibly understand the calculations between the big shots? It was just a thought that came to his mind, so he asked, "Brother Zhou, do you want me to go too?"

Zhou Bufan shook his head and said, "There are still a few people missing in the eighth level of Qi Refining. An elder said that you are quite strong. I have taken a look and found that you are indeed qualified. However, I found that your spirit is a little weak. It is not suitable for you to go. What's wrong with your spirit?"

Hearing that he couldn't go, Lu Luan felt a little regretful. After all, if he went, there would definitely be benefits. Seeing Zhou Bufan asking, he replied: "I took too much spiritual tea when practicing heavy swordsmanship. This is a side effect, but I will recover soon."

"I see. From now on, you should take a good rest and recover. I'll go check on the others..."

Zhou Bufan nodded, didn't stay, said a few words of warning and left.

Lu Luan looked at his back with a special light in his eyes, so he couldn't help but clench his fists and thought to himself: "When can I be as strong as him?"

Thinking of the opponent's seemingly understated attack just now, which had such terrible power, he was extremely envious.

He felt a little regretful when he saw that he couldn't go. After all, he missed the opportunity to broaden his horizons. Those who went to the Four Sects Competition must be the top talents from each school. Even if he couldn't get good results, it would be good to see the world.

He shook his head. Although he was disappointed, he also understood that this matter was of great importance and no mistakes could be made.

"Using the lifting sword technique, my strength has surpassed that of ordinary ninth-level Qi Refining disciples. Of course, some with outstanding talents may not be able to defeat me..." He flew towards the cabin while experiencing the feelings of the fight just now.

After falling down, he looked around and couldn't help but frowned:

"Strange, why hasn't Xiaoxi come yet?"

He knew he slept a lot.

But this time.

After the battle just now, a feeling of fatigue began to come over his mind. Lu Luan smiled bitterly and shook his head, muttering: "Haha, it seems that I need to rest for a while before I can recover. No wonder I don't have the qualifications to go. If this happens during the battle, I will definitely lose."

Next he began to regulate his breathing carefully.

……

And so, several days passed.

"It's almost time."

Today is the beginning of the month, and it is time to collect cultivation resources.

Lu Luan smiled lightly, then he stood up and flew towards the core hall.

Today is the day to collect benefits, but the area outside the core hall seems a little quieter than usual, with not many people around.

Although Lu Luan was a little surprised, he didn't pay much attention to it and waited outside with the others.

"Brother Lu, I didn't expect you to be so powerful."

As soon as he arrived, Song Ling, who had been waiting there, came over and greeted him.

After the last battle, he had gained some fame among the core disciples, especially among the disciples with ordinary spiritual roots.

"Senior Brother Song."

Lu Luan replied.

Song Ling glanced around and said in a low voice: "Well done, you vented our anger." Judging from his appearance, he was probably also provoked by the yellow spiritual root disciple and lost.

Lu Luan chuckled and said, "It was a fluke that he won. He was too careless. Otherwise, I might not have won."

"By the way, Brother Lu, the core disciples were competing a few days ago. Those who performed well could enter the Spirit Summoning Pool once. Why didn't you come? If you had come, there would definitely be a spot for you." Song Ling asked puzzledly.

"Spiritual Pool?"

Lu Luan was surprised.

Although he had never been to the Spirit Inducing Pool, he had heard of it. It was a place where a large formation was used to cause a torrent of spiritual energy to wash over the body in order to break through the bottleneck of cultivation. Even if a breakthrough could not be achieved, the meridians and qi sea could be expanded. There were many benefits and the opportunity was very rare.

Song Ling said with great regret: "Although usually only those at the ninth level of Qi Refining are qualified to go, this time most of the core disciples were busy and the quotas were left vacant, so some were selected from those at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and some were given to the true disciples."

Lu Luan showed a look of regret, thinking that he was sleeping during the competition days and missed it.

"But it's okay. With your ability, Brother Lu, there will still be a chance next time."

Song Ling comforted.

"Brother Song, I guess you were chosen?"

Lu Luan asked.

"No, I don't have that kind of strength. The core disciples of the Yellow Spiritual Root are all monsters. I think the inheritance I got is good, but compared to theirs, it's still a little bit worse."

Song Ling shook his head bitterly.

The elder had not arrived yet, so the two began to talk.

Although some people continued to arrive, there were only a few.

Seeing this, Lu Luan couldn't help but guess in his heart: "It seems that those core disciples who didn't come should be preparing to go to Changge Valley to participate in the competition, right?"

For such a major event, the sect will definitely try their best to help them further improve their strength. Who knows, they may be training in some hidden place right now.

What surprised him was that he thought he would meet the young man who provoked him last time, but he didn't come either. After all, he was a yellow spiritual root, so it seemed that he had been selected.

But he still didn't understand, is there no one left in the sect? How could even a disciple like that be allowed to go?

Haha, indeed, those with better talents have already left quietly.

After waiting for a while, an elder came.

Then everyone stood outside in an orderly manner and stopped talking.

After waiting for a while, it was soon Lu Luan's turn.

After entering the courtyard, he still politely saluted and said, "Disciple Lu Luan, greetings to the elder."

"No gift."

The elder said calmly. This time it was a middle-aged male elder with a serious face and a look of anger without even being intimidating.

After taking a closer look at him and thinking for a while, the elder said, "You have already reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining, and your realm is stable. Come with me to the Soul Summoning Pool in the cave and try to see if you can break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining. The Soul Summoning Pool opens once every six months. Originally, the quota has been decided, but you seem to need this opportunity more now. It's okay. Just let one of the true disciples come out."

"Thank you, elder."

After hearing the voice, Lu Luan suddenly became excited and immediately bowed.

He never thought that he would be qualified to go to the Spiritual Pool just like that? And from what the elders said, this should be a quota snatched directly from the true disciples.

Now that his realm is stable and almost consolidated, and he has reached the peak of his cultivation, it is indeed time for him to break through.

"But I have to tell you something. Think about it yourself. Given your talent, using the Soul Summoning Pool to break through will have disadvantages. Your cultivation may stagnate for a period of time, which could be as short as a few months or as long as a year or two. Are you willing?"

The elder said again.

There is gain and loss. Otherwise, if it were so easy to break through, the sect would have been full of masters.

"Disciple is willing."

Lu Luan thought for a while and replied, "Let's break through first. It will only take one or two years for us to make no progress. This period of time can be used to comprehend the heavy sword technique and other magical powers, which will also increase our strength."

Besides, if he doesn't do this, although he will be able to make a breakthrough within three or four months, his progress in the next one or two years will not be that great.

And it doesn't necessarily mean that we will stop moving forward for such a long time.

"Then go wait inside. I will take you there after I distribute the benefits to other disciples."

The elder pointed to the courtyard at the back and gave the order.

"Thank you, elder."

Lu Luan bowed again and walked in.

"Haha, as expected, the core disciples are given priority in everything."

He couldn't help but sigh at the privileges of core disciples.

After entering, he found that there were some people waiting inside. There were twelve of them. They must be the same as him, going to the Spirit Pond later.

"Lu Luan? Why is he here?"

"Didn't you see him participating in the competition? I was going to teach him a lesson for being so pushy and not taking us seriously."

But some people looked at him unkindly and whispered to him.

Lu Luan frowned, but soon figured it out. Maybe it was because he defeated the young man. After all, the two of them represented two groups among the core disciples.

He won, and these arrogant people naturally felt ashamed.

Although some people disliked him, no one dared to act rudely here.

Lu Luan ignored them and started waiting with the others.

After a stick of incense, the elder distributed all the resources to everyone, then walked in and said to them, "Follow me."

Soon, everyone followed him to a teleportation array in the True Transmission Hall.

At this time, there were already four elders waiting here. When one of them saw them, he said, "Let me tell you the rules first. Everyone, remember, it is very dangerous to be baptized in the Soul Summoning Pool. Although there are restrictions and isolation, those who finish the baptism first must not disturb others. Otherwise, no matter who you are, you will be severely punished."

Another elder also said: "After we go in..."

It was the first time for Lu Luan and his group to go in, so the elders explained it in great detail.

That's it, after a while.

"Get into formation!"

Five people stood in five directions, changing the seals in their hands, and soon, the entrance to the Spirit Transformation Pool appeared.

The reason why Dongtian is the foundation of a sect is because many things that help disciples improve their cultivation are contained in it.

Everyone did not hesitate and walked in after the passage appeared.
