A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 550 Gathering

"Junior Brother Lu, let's go to the inner courtyard to talk."

Long Li smiled.

Next, Lu Luan followed the two of them to the depths of Jianyang Sect.

It was a large manor.

As soon as he arrived, Lu Luan saw Elder Lu, Niaoyan, and a child who looked about five years old meditating in the yard.

Sensing their approach, Elder Lu stood up and said to him with a smile: "Xiao Lu, it turns out you are back."

"I met the elder."

After Lu Luan landed on the ground, he saluted him respectfully. Although his strength far exceeded his, his eyes were still full of respect. Ever since he entered the Zhengyang Gate, Elder Lu had been very caring towards him.

"Elder, you..."

Seeing his old body, Lu Luan frowned slightly, because he could feel a strong aura of decay in Elder Lu's body. His flesh was very old, and it seemed that he didn't have much time left.

Elder Lu gently stroked his white beard and shook his head, saying, "Birth, aging, sickness and death are just the normal state of human life."

Lu Luan sighed lightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Brother."

Niaoyan greeted him, and the originally playful girl became much more stable now.

"Senior brother, where is Xiaocan?" Seeing that Xiaocan was not around, she asked in confusion.

"Has Xiao Can not come back in these years?" Lu Luan asked back. He was just about to find out about Xiao Can's situation.

"No, isn't Xiaocan with you?"

Niaoyan shook her head.

"Never came back?" Lu Luan's heart sank, and then he said, "Xiao Can and I separated in the wilderness, and he wanted to venture out on his own."

"Ah, Xiaocan is so young, why did you agree to let him leave alone?" Niaoyan looked at him in disbelief and said in a condemning manner.

"He has grown up."

Lu Luan's tone revealed helplessness, he also didn't want Xiao Can to venture out alone.

"Mother, is this Uncle Lu?"

The little boy next to him crawled into Long Li's arms and looked at Lu Luan curiously.

"Ah."

Long Li gently touched his little head.

"Hello, Uncle Lu. Mother and Grandpa Lu told me about you."

The little boy said to him happily.

"Brother, this is Brother Zhou's child, his name is Zhou Polu."

Niaoyan introduced.

"Brother Zhou's bloodline?"

Lu Luan smiled at him kindly, and looking at the little boy who looked four points like Zhou Bufan, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of envy in his eyes.

"By the way, where is Senior Brother Zhou?" Lu Luan asked when he didn't see Zhou Bufan.

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Jian Xuan opened his palms, and rows of sword shadows appeared, isolating the entire manor.

"This is the way of the sword..."

Lu Luan felt the aura emitted by Jian Xuan at this moment and was shocked. He still underestimated Jian Xuan's strength. Now it seems that he is strong enough to look down on most of the strong men in the early Jindan stage.

After the arrangements were completed, Jian Xuan said to him, "Senior Brother Zhou has gone to the Blood Spirit Sect."

"Blood Spirit Gate."

Lu Luan was shocked, and then asked, "Why are you going to the Blood Spirit Sect?"

Long Li hugged Zhou Polu and said with a gloomy look, "When Zhengyang Sect was destroyed, the headmaster did not actually leave, but mobilized the sect's formation to seal up the cave heaven and protect an opportunity within it. Brother Zhou is going to reopen the entrance to the cave heaven so that he can use that opportunity to break through to the Golden Core Realm."

"This is too dangerous." Lu Luan frowned.

"There is no other way. With the current strength of Jianyang Sect, it is simply not possible to support Senior Brother Zhou's breakthrough."

Everyone's eyes were filled with helplessness.

Lu Luan was silent. Indeed, the Jianyang Sect was just a newly established sect with too weak foundation. To break through to the Golden Core Realm, it would require a massive amount of resources to improve the physical body. When impacting the realm, it would also require the power of the cave sky and precious healing treasures.

Moreover, it is unlikely to succeed in one go. You must know that every time the impact fails, you will have to spend tens of thousands of intermediate spirit stones to recover from the injuries suffered by the body during the impact.

This is something that the Jianyang Sect cannot afford at all. Even if they save up for another fifty or sixty years, they still cannot do it.

He is now at the Jindan realm and knows the difficulty and danger of breaking through to the Jindan realm.

"How long has Senior Brother Zhou been gone?" Lu Luan asked.

"It's been almost four years, but his soul lamp is still lit." Long Li said.

"Mom, are you talking about Daddy?" The little child in her arms immediately pricked up her ears and listened.

"The Jianyang Sect has been developing quite smoothly over the years, right?" Lu Luan changed the subject.

"In the past, there were often forces that bullied us, but after Senior Brother Jian came back, those forces no longer dared to offend us." Niaoyan whispered. She had been in the sect all the time. This sea area was originally barren, and she had been excluded by other forces. She had been having a very unhappy life over the years.

"Brother Lu, you have reached the Golden Core stage now, right?"

Jian Xuan looked at him and asked suddenly.

Now Jian Xuan is the strongest in Jianyang Sect, and he can feel that Lu Luan is extraordinary. Hearing this, everyone looks at him in disbelief. The Golden Core Realm is so far away for them.

Although Lu Luan looked a lot younger after his breakthrough, everyone just thought that he had taken some elixir to preserve his beauty and did not think about his golden elixir cultivation at all.

"Brother, have you really reached the Golden Core stage?"

Niaoyan asked with great anticipation.

"Ah."

After seeing him nod, everyone's expressions suddenly became extremely exciting.

"Great, Junior Brother Lu, after you come back this time, are you still going to leave?"

Long Li asked in surprise, and everyone turned their eyes to look at him. The Jianyang Sect really needed a Jindan expert to take charge. The word "Jindan" alone gave off a terrifying deterrent power.

After a moment of silence, Lu Luan shook his head and said, "I have a trivial matter that I haven't resolved yet. I will leave in a few days. If I stay in Jianyang Sect for too long, I will get into trouble."

There is still the matter of Shangguan Linglong that has not been resolved, and he is now a demon cultivator. If he stays here, it will harm the Jianyang Sect.

"By the way, how strong is the Blood Spirit Sect now?" he asked.

"They are stronger than before, and they have the support of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect behind them. They have a strong foundation and are far beyond our ability to deal with." Jian Xuan said dejectedly.

"Ten Thousand Beasts Sect." Lu Luan looked thoughtful. He knew this demon sect. When the Zhengyang Sect was destroyed, they sent disciples here for training. He even nearly killed a few of the disciples of this demon sect at that time.

"The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is a demon sect in the Outer Realm Abyss. Somehow, it has suddenly grown stronger in the past few decades and now has a powerful cultivator in the late Jindan stage."

"I didn't expect it to be so strong."

Lu Luan was shocked. When the Zhengyang Sect was destroyed, the Wanshou Sect only had one or two mid-stage Jindan. How come in just fifty or sixty years, there was suddenly a late-stage Jindan? You know, not even one out of ten mid-stage Jindan can break through to the late stage. This speed of growth is too fast.

The Xuanling Sect was founded more than a thousand years ago, but to date there are only three or two powerful people in the late Jindan stage.

"I have been in the Demon Realm to slay demons and forge swords. I have some understanding of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and I have witnessed its rapid expansion of power with my own eyes." Jian Xuan said.

"It should be that they have gained support from those foreign races with abundant resources." Lu Luan guessed.

Demon cultivators and devil cultivators are actually also human. Since humans refine their essence, energy, and spirit, and most of the foreigners on Cangming Star only rely on devouring flesh and blood to refine their essence and strengthen their bodies, basically after reaching the Jindan realm, a human of the same strength needs more than three foreigners to be comparable.

Only humans can deal with humans. In order to make up for the disadvantage, those foreign races will provide certain resources behind the scenes to support the magic cultivators and monster cultivators to attack the immortal path. For example, killing a disciple of the immortal sect will reward them with a certain amount of spirit stones and elixirs, and they calculate the money with heads.
