A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 283 The road is long and difficult

"That fruit is almost ripe."

Lu Luan looked at the ring on his hand and his soul sank into it.

I saw a green fruit hanging among the lush branches of the floating magic tree.

Furthermore, underneath those huge roots, there were clusters of animal souls entangled.

While improving his strength, he naturally would not forget the God-Slaying Technique. Without human souls, he spent a large amount of spirit stones to buy beast souls of slightly inferior effect.

After his careful care, the fruit is about to ripen.

Although his own strength is the foundation, the art of beheading gods is his strongest trump card. As long as the killing power is strong enough, he can kill the opponent with one blow even if he has something to protect his soul.

"Now that the Soul Killing Sword in the Purple Mansion has become more condensed, if this fruit matures, it should be able to produce two more strands of sword energy that will be extremely threatening to late-stage foundation building masters."

Lu Luan thought quietly.

"Dong dong dong."

After a while, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Enter."

An old man walked in, followed by a young girl holding a jade plate. The old man bowed to him and said with a smile: "Daoyou, this is what you bought."

On the plate was a jade box and a spiritual fruit.

He also saw Xiao Can, but was just a little surprised and didn't say much.

Lu Luan also took out a well-prepared storage ring and flicked it over, "Daoyou, please count it and see if it is enough."

After the inventory, the two men exchanged a few polite words and the old man turned and left.

Lu Luan opened the jade box, looked at the medicinal pill inside, put it away, and said to Xiao Shen beside him: "Let's go."

"Okay, brother."

The little guy put away his spiritual fruit and flew into the Huangting.

The things were already in hand, and the remaining spirit stones in his hand could not buy anything useful. There was no need to stay any longer, so he stood up and walked out, leaving the auction.

"I wonder what the effect of that pill will be?"

Walking on the street, Lu Luan felt a sense of anticipation in his heart.

Next, he was not in a hurry to leave. He found a secret room on the Yanbo Island to meditate and took the pill first.

He had wanted to buy a few more beast souls before, but after looking at the remaining soul power in the roots of the magic tree, he found that it was enough. It wouldn't be long before the magic fruit would mature, giving him a few more powerful trump cards.

Now that I have the sword energy of the soul and the protective black energy, I don’t need to prepare any other talismans for self-defense except for talismans such as the magic travel talisman.

"Let's go buy some high-quality spiritual ginseng first. After absorbing the medicinal power of the elixir, we can practice the physical body."

This is the method that wastes the least time. To him, time is like spiritual stone and cannot be wasted.

After spending an hour, he finally bought three very good spiritual ginsengs.

Then he found a suitable place.

After entering the secret room, Lu Luan slowly sat down cross-legged.

First, he gave the spiritual ginseng to Xiao Shen to process it into medicinal properties that he could use.

Then he moved his fingers, and the jade box containing the elixir appeared in his palm.

Smelling this wonderfully fragrant elixir, he couldn't help but sigh, "It really is worthy of being something used by the immortals, the medicinal effect is amazing."

After looking at it for a while, he opened his mouth and swallowed it.

As the pill entered his stomach, several streams of air began to flow around his body. Under its influence, his true energy began to become active rapidly.

Lu Luan also took the opportunity to practice Guiyuan Jue to improve his cultivation.

……

half a month later.

"Hey."

Lu Luan slowly opened his eyes, let out a long sigh, with disappointment in his eyes.

He murmured with a dazed look in his eyes: "Is it really so difficult for ordinary spiritual roots to make progress?"

It was a thing from the Immortal Sect and it was a special elixir for the five elements of spiritual roots. He had been somewhat looking forward to its effect, but after taking it, he felt very depressed.

Although there was some improvement, it was too little. It was just a slight movement. As for breaking through to the late stage of foundation building, he really could no longer see the way forward. This made him feel what it meant to have a long and difficult road ahead.

Yes, even the inferior yellow spiritual roots would have a hard time in the middle stage of foundation building, let alone him who is an ordinary spiritual root.

"Do I really have to use the Blood Evil Technique again?"

A thought struggled through his mind. His spiritual roots were like a tight shackle that imprisoned his cultivation.

After taking a deep breath, he suppressed the thought and shook his head, saying, "The magic power still cannot be used. There will be other ways."

He knew that if he continued to use his magic power, it would be out of control and unstoppable, and his state of mind would be quickly corroded and riddled with holes, so he decided not to use it for the time being.

"The magic fruit should be ripe now."

With a thought, he took out the magic tree. As expected, the fruit under the leaves was fully ripe and exuded a fragrance.

Lu Luan took the fruit off, looked at it for a while, and shook his head, saying, "It's still not enough to use the beast soul, so just take the whole thing."

He had originally planned to take it separately, and then produce two strands of sword energy that could pose a great threat to the late foundation building stage, but now it seems that it is slightly insufficient.

After thinking for a while, he decided to take the whole pill. Although the medicinal effect would leave hidden dangers, if there were enough beast souls, the next fruit would take more than half a year to mature, which was more than enough time for him to recover.

Then he swallowed the whole fruit.

As expected, after all the medicinal effects were absorbed, the killing sword in the purple palace gained a more condensed and sharp sword energy.

Although the quality of this fruit is inferior to the previous two, the killing power of sword energy generated after taking the whole fruit is indeed superior to the other sword energies.

Now, there are three strands of sword energy in his purple mansion that can pose a threat to cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, and there are also three strands of slightly less powerful ones.

These are the reasons why he is confident.

After dealing with the soul, he used the medicinal energy to practice his physical body again.

……

So, another month passed.

He finally exhausted all his resources.

The storage ring was empty again.

"It's time to go back."

Lu Luan opened his eyes and murmured that after absorbing the medicinal energy and practicing the Dharma, he felt refreshed and comfortable all over. This was because the vitality of his flesh and blood was enhanced.

"The effect is good. My body has a certain potential for improvement. Although it's not much, it won't make my strength stagnate."

He was very satisfied with the changes in his body and felt that the one thousand spirit stones were worth more than the two thousand he spent on the elixir.

After feeling it, he got up and left.

After leaving the secret room, he did not stay on Yanbo Island any longer, but went to the location of the teleportation array.

It's time to return to Tianjue Island to continue looking for resources.

……

In less than two hours, he appeared outside Tianjue Island.

Without stopping for long, he flew in.

The forest is dense and monsters are lurking.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard deep in Tianjue Island, and a large number of trees fell down.

"Three-eyed green rock snake."

Lu Luan stood in mid-air, looking coldly at the green snake coiled on a giant tree sixty feet high not far away.

The snake's head is only half a meter wide, and most of its body is hidden in the branches. It has three eyes on its head, and its entire body is emerald green. There are also cone-shaped bone spurs growing on both sides of its head.

Very deterrent.

After a slight roar, the snake twisted its huge body and attacked him.

However, just when he reached Lu Luan, he suddenly moved, and then slapped the snake's head hard, shaking its entire body out of the tree and falling to the ground.

After being hit by this palm, the flesh on the snake's head cracked and blood oozed out.

However, its defense was good. It shook its head and then raised it up, then lashed at Lu Luan with its tail.

"boom!"

This tail directly caused a deep gully to crack in the ground!

Seeing that Lu Luan had dodged, it twisted its body quickly, and the demonic patterns on its scales flashed, trapping Lu Luan in the center.

"Roar!"

With a roar, the green snake opened its mouth wide and bit him.

Seeing this, Lu Luan simply pushed out his right palm, and the layer of protective black energy appeared.

"Crack!"

The snake bit down and broke several of its fangs!

Although it felt pain, it did not let go. Instead, a black evil wind like a bone-cutting blade appeared from its mouth and wrapped Lu Luan up. However, with the protective Xuan Gang, the evil wind could not do anything to him.

"puff!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of flesh breaking, and a hole instantly appeared on the green snake's head. Lu Luan's black sword broke through the black wind defense with the powerful physical strength and directly nailed into its head. The sword energy was raging, and the green snake died under the sword.

After collecting the demon crystal and the beast soul, and putting the snake body in place, he went to another place.

"Brother, there are three people in the distance, one of them is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building."

At the foot of a mountain, Xiao Can suddenly reminded.

Lu Luan stopped and murmured, "A mid-stage foundation building cultivator, what are they planning to do together?"

Relatively speaking, there are not many cultivators in the middle stage of the foundation building process in the Hanluo Sea, and even fewer who come to Tianjue Island. Therefore, in such a long time on the island, he has seldom met people in the middle stage of the foundation building process.

Besides the spiritual herbs, what else could the people come to the island for?

After asking for directions, he walked over.

Soon, he saw the three people within his sight.

"It seems that he is just an ordinary person in the middle stage of foundation building." Lu Luan said to himself. Anyone who can team up with someone in the early stage of foundation building must be an ordinary person in the middle stage of foundation building.

Next, Lu Luan followed behind the few people. In this strange forest, the other party could not find him.

These immortal cultivators were relatively quiet along the way and seldom spoke.

After about a quarter of an hour, these people cautiously arrived at the central area.

“Brother, there is a spiritual medicine ahead, worth more than 400 intermediate spiritual stones.”

Xiao Can suddenly said, his words revealing excitement.

"So many?" Lu Luan was surprised. Although he often wandered around the island, he had not seen many spiritual herbs of this level. Seeing a few people, he also stopped and said silently: "It seems that they came here for that spiritual herb."

He saw that in the crevice of the rock in front of him, a magical herb with white flowers and red fruits was swaying gently in the wind.

Lu Luan was ready to go forward and snatch it, but after thinking for a while, he asked: "Xiao Can, what about the restrictions around the spiritual herb?"

On this Tianjue Island, most of the places where spiritual herbs grow have powerful restrictions and formations. Either they are hidden very deeply, or they have fallen into the mouths of monsters long ago.

"I can't see clearly. The fluctuations are sometimes weak and sometimes strong. There is something different."

Small shrine.

"Then let you try it first." He was not in a hurry to act.

"I must get the elixir this time."

One of them looked at the spiritual herb, swallowed his saliva, took out a rope and tied it around his body, and said to the others behind him: "If I get stuck in it later, you will pull me out."

"Don't worry, brother."

The two of them responded.

After that, the man didn't waste any more words. He took out a magic talisman and shouted, "Powerful Puppet!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the talisman emitted light, and then a puppet with a hideous face appeared, and then the puppet directly attached itself to the man.

"Powerful Puppet Talisman?"

Lu Luan was a little surprised, because he found that after the talisman exploded, the man's physical strength became much stronger. Isn't this too easy? He had heard of this kind of talisman before when he teamed up with Zhao Kaishan and others.

However, after taking a few looks at it, he shook his head. Although this puppet talisman can temporarily increase strength, it will make people move clumsily and reduce their strength.

The man took off the ring in his hand and handed it to the two men, apparently to prevent any accidents. After getting ready, he took a deep breath and started walking forward.

"Hopefully it'll go well."

One person said worriedly.

"Don't worry, we have tried it, this powerful puppet talisman is enough." another person replied.

Having said that, his face looked very nervous.

The restrictions on this island are constantly changing, and no one knows what changes will occur.

The man stepped into the restricted area and felt resistance. He began to move with difficulty and very slowly.

Everyone stared nervously, not daring to breathe, holding the rope in their hands tightly. If anything unexpected happened, this would be their big brother's lifeline.

As for the person walking in the restriction, his forehead began to moisten and his palms were sweating.

"Brother, the restrictions are beginning to show signs of change." Xiao Can noticed the changes and said immediately.

Sure enough, when the man was about to approach the spiritual herb, the air around him suddenly condensed.

"not good!"

Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

A powerful wave spread out, and the air seemed to solidify into rock. The man was instantly frozen, unable to move, unable to even blink, his eyes revealing fear.

"Big brother."

The other two screamed in shock and immediately grabbed the rope, trying to use their internal energy to pull him out.

But after trying a few times, the person inside didn't move at all.

"Puppet Talisman."

There was no other way, so they had to hastily take out another puppet talisman. Although the power increased dramatically, they still couldn't pull the person.

"This restriction is so strong."

Lu Luan could find that the rope in the restriction had not been straightened at all!

"How can you be so strong?"

The two people who stayed outside became even more panicked when they saw that it was useless.

Of course, the person who was most terrified at this time must be the man who was imprisoned.

"No, we need another puppet talisman." The two tried to pull it back again, but it still didn't move.

"who!"

While they were talking, suddenly one of them saw with horror a figure looking at them indifferently from a distance.

This is naturally Lu Luan.

After several people's tests, he knew the details of the restriction and realized that it could not trap him, so he walked out.

Seeing him approaching, the two men immediately looked at him nervously with their magic treasures in their hands.

"Hey."

Lu Luan looked at the man in the restriction and sighed in his heart. How many independent cultivators died in this way while searching for resources. No matter how well prepared one is, dangers are always unpredictable and hard to guard against.

He said to the two of them, "My fellow Taoists, I can lend you a helping hand."

But the two of them obviously didn't believe it. Who would be so kind when they were not related to each other? And Lu Luan didn't look like a good person at all.

"You want your eldest brother to die, right?" Lu Luan said calmly.

At the same time, a sense of pressure emanated from him, and his face turned cold, "It will be easy for me to kill you."

"Master!"

The two looked at each other, bowed and said, "Please help me, fellow Taoist."
