A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 268 Blood Coral

"That's it."

After getting back the broken formation plate, he found a relatively secluded place and stopped.

Then he looked at the male fish and asked, "Do you have any way to help me break through?"

After thinking for a while, the male fish said, "You want to use my child to break through. In fact, the most effective thing in it is the spiritual liquid produced by the females of my race after swallowing and refining the monsters. If you have yellow spiritual roots, you will definitely be able to break through. But you have ordinary spiritual roots, and the spiritual liquid contained in it can't support your breakthrough at all."

"is it?"

Lu Luan was a little unconvinced.

The male fish continued, "Ask yourself, have you ever seen or heard of other ordinary spiritual roots who have achieved the same level of cultivation as you?"

Lu Luan remained silent. Up to now, he seemed to have only seen himself as a mortal with spiritual roots who could reach the Foundation Establishment Stage. If he did not have the inheritance from the sect, he would probably still be stuck in the Qi Refining Stage.

He deeply understood how difficult it was for ordinary spiritual roots to make each step forward. Generally, only those in large forces would have ordinary spiritual roots like him who could reach the foundation-building stage. As for independent cultivators, there were too few of them.

"So, what do you want to do?"

After a while, Lu Luan looked at it meaningfully.

He knew in his heart that it would be very difficult for him to break through to the middle stage of foundation building, so he wanted to see what method this male fish was going to use.

The male fish swam slowly around him and said, "I know there is a scarlet blood coral in a narrow trench deep in the sea. It is two feet tall. If you can get it, it will be enough for you to break through."

"Red blood coral, two feet high, really?"

Lu Luan's expression began to waver, and he asked with a frown.

He knew this kind of elixir. Its red color indicated that it was of a certain age. Its two-foot height made it priceless and would definitely be enough for him to break through.

"Of course it's true." said the male fish.

"No, if it really existed, why didn't you take it and take it yourself earlier?"

Lu Luan was not confused by the news and soon realized that something was wrong. If there really was such a treasure, the male fish would have swallowed it long ago to increase its strength.

So I became more vigilant.

The male fish knew his concerns. "This kind of treasure is naturally guarded by a sea monster. It is a sea beast with strength comparable to mine, and due to the limitation of my bloodline, my strength can only be this much. Even if I take the bloody coral, it won't improve. There's no need to fight for it and end up hurting both sides." After saying that, he spit out a bubble from his mouth, circulated the monster energy, and a picture gradually appeared on it.

From what Lu Luan could see, it was a very dark and narrow trench, and on a cliff deep inside, there grew a coral as thick as an arm that emitted red light.

The scene changed, and a huge monster with dark green eyes appeared. It was a giant black and green octopus. Just a slight wave of its tentacles could cause the surrounding sea water to surge.

"Okay, as long as you can bring the bloody coral here, I can let your child go," Lu Luan nodded, and then asked, "When are you going?"

It's a good deal to exchange a fish egg for a spiritual creature of such value.

"The sea beast guarding the coral is very powerful. I can't take it alone." The male fish looked at the female fish next to him and said, "I will go after my partner recovers. Then we can join forces and it won't be difficult to take it away."

“How long will it take to recover?”

Lu Luan asked in a deep voice.

"Two months."

"So fast?" He was a little surprised, but he felt relieved when he thought of the male fish's help, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, then I'll wait for two months."

Then he asked again carefully for a while, and after he had a better understanding in his mind, he was ready to practice.

However, the male fish said again: "Human, you can take my child out now. It needs to absorb the energy of the earth to hatch."

"Okay, but you have to retreat a hundred feet."

Lu Luan also knew that the eggs could not be left out of the sea water for too long, but he had to keep a distance from the two fish first. If the eggs were snatched away, he would be unable to escape.

"Don't even think about running away. If you anger me, the worst that can happen is a fight to the death."

After giving a warning, the male fish took the female fish away and swam away.

After they swam away, Lu Luan kept his word and took out the fish eggs.

In an instant, a surge of vitality rushed towards me, and a huge amount of vitality was brewing.

As soon as the fish eggs fell to the ground, the place where they touched the rocks began to shine with soft light, and finally vine-like golden tentacles began to spread and take root downwards.

When they saw their own children, the two tiger groupers immediately became agitated, especially the female one. If the male fish had not stopped her, she would probably have attacked him again.

"Human, block your breath quickly."

The male fish called out hurriedly.

Lu Luan naturally knew about it, and immediately set up some restrictions around him, and also asked Xiao Can to help.

Soon, the fluctuations emanating from the fish eggs began to disappear, as if they had merged with the sea water. Lu Luan also used his magic to suck together the mud and gravel from the surrounding seabed and covered it on top, making it even more impossible to see any flaws.

After doing all this, he glanced at the two fish in the distance, then took out his sword and stabbed it directly into the top of the pile of stones.

"what are you doing?"

As expected, there was a roar in my mind.

The male fish swam over instantly, but when it saw Lu Luan put his hand on the hilt of the sword, it immediately stopped and looked at him angrily.

Lu Luan said calmly: "I didn't do anything. Your child is fine. This just makes you more peaceful."

He pointed his finger, and the black sword released wisps of sword energy that enveloped the fish eggs below. He then sat cross-legged in front of the sword and said, "If you dare to make any unusual movements now, the sword energy will explode uncontrollably. Your children have strong vitality and should be able to withstand the ravages of the sword energy."

After the female fish recovers, there will be two monsters with the strength of the late foundation building stage. It will be easy to kill him at that time, so we must make every possible effort.

"You're mean."

The male fish's eyes seemed to be spewing flames.

As for the female fish, if she hadn't been pulled by the male fish's tentacles, she would probably have fought him to the death.

Lu Luan ignored them and took out the leaf after calming down his mind. He said to himself, "I will practice the Guiyuan Jue completely during this period of time. Then the breakthrough will be smoother."

Afterwards he started to practice on his own, but of course he did not relax his vigilance and kept a part of his mind on the two fish.

After glaring at him for a while, the tiger-headed banded tiger had no choice but to keep his distance angrily, not daring to get close easily.

After calming the female fish's restless emotions, the two of them quietly lay dormant in the distance, staring at him closely to prevent him from suddenly escaping. At the same time, they also quietly spit out some demon crystals they had hunted from their mouths, allowing the female fish to swallow them and recover quickly.

As time went by, the female fish's breath gradually became stronger and stronger.

However, Lu Luan's expression became more and more solemn. Two such powerful monsters were lurking around him, which made him feel very uneasy.

……

The sea is undercurrent, and two months have passed.

After two months of self-regulation, his injuries have completely recovered.

The two tiger groupers lurking on the seabed twisted their bodies and swam out from the mud and sand, circling around Lu Luan.

"Are you leaving?"

Lu Luan slowly opened his eyes, knowing that the time had come.

But he was a little confused. How would the other party deal with him?

Leave him here alone? Or go with them?

"Ready?"

Lu Luan asked first.

The male fish replied, "I will go there alone later. I hope you will keep your word and return my child to me after you get the blood coral."

"Going alone?"

Lu Luan was stunned at first, then he reacted and immediately understood that the male fish had not planned to join forces with the female fish from the beginning, but to go alone in order to delay time for the female fish to recover and keep him from escaping.

The decline in strength before meant he couldn’t stay here, but now that’s no problem.

"Okay," Lu Luan nodded gently, took a look at the female fish, and said, "But you have to make sure your partner won't attack me, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to guarantee the safety of your child."

Now the female fish's strength has recovered, and her intelligence is not good enough. It would be dangerous if she attacked him madly.

"You can rest assured about this. If you stay where you are, it won't attack you until I get here. But if you try to escape, I can't guarantee it. You know the consequences."

There is also a threat in the male fish's voice.

"How long will it take?" Lu Luan asked. He would certainly not act rashly.

"About ten days."

"Then go and come back quickly."

But the male fish did not leave. Instead, he looked at the pile of dirt beneath him and said, "Let me take a look at the child first, how about that?"

Lu Luan nodded and waved his hand. The sand and stones beneath him spread out in all directions, revealing the fish egg underneath that was glowing softly.
