Chapter 555 Going Underground
Chapter 555 Going Underground
"This is going to be difficult."
Lu Luan felt heavy in his heart. This race had many strong men whose strength was comparable to that of late Jindan stage, and they were all on their territory.
"But with your current strength, you can take this risk."
Shangguan Linglong continued, as if worried that he would back down.
Lu Luan didn't say anything, but there was a thoughtful look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
After a while, he looked up at her and asked, "Is the flesh and blood of living beings all that's needed?"
“Yes, immortal cultivators and monsters are all fine, but demon cultivators and monsters are not. Their bodies are too turbid, and it will only be counterproductive.” Shangguan Linglong replied, not knowing what kind of medicine Lu Luan sold in his gourd.
"Yaksha, Asura, etc. are OK."
He thought of underground, where there were also many races living, and all of them were strong and powerful, with rich energy and blood.
"Of course you can. Are you planning to go underground?" Shangguan Linglong looked at him in surprise.
"good."
"It's more dangerous underground. That's the territory of underground creatures, and we don't know anything about them."
Seeing her frown, Lu Luan explained, "I once killed a royal Yaksha, a descendant of an underground prince, with some status. I searched its soul and have some understanding of the underground."
"Really? Tell me about it."
Shangguan Linglong's brows relaxed slightly. She didn't expect that Lu Luan had actually killed a Yaksha, and that was a royal Yaksha of noble status.
Lu Luan continued, "In the Wudu Sea area, the strongest Yakshas and Asuras are in the late Jindan stage. And underground, there are checkpoints set up by the Xuanling Sect and some immortal races. Those strong men dare not leave their nests easily, which makes it convenient for us to act. Moreover, these underground races are also happy to join forces with the demon cultivators."
Although the royal Yaksha he had killed before had the bloodline of a powerful man with Nascent Soul strength, that powerful man was not in these places.
"That's not bad."
After hearing what he said, Shangguan Linglong's eyes lit up. Having the immortal forces to hold things back from below was indeed much safer than targeting the immortal cultivators and foreign tribes above.
Moreover, with Lu Luan's strength, he would be able to escape unscathed even if he encountered danger.
"You know the entrance to the underworld, right?" she asked.
"Of course I know."
In the Yaksha's memory, the entrance was that abyss.
"Let's do as you say and go underground to catch Yakshas and Asuras." Shangguan Linglong agreed after thinking about it.
"By the way, how many spirit stones do you have? There is no spiritual energy underground, so you need to prepare more spirit stones and pills to restore magic energy."
Lu Luan suddenly said.
If you want to go underground, you must have these things.
Shangguan Linglong looked at her storage ring, counted it, and said, "I only have more than 3,000 intermediate spirit stones, but there are still a lot of unnecessary materials, which should be worth 20,000 intermediate spirit stones. You can take them to the Immortal City to exchange them. When you are ready, go to the underground world."
As he spoke, he took off the storage ring and handed it to him.
Lu Luan took it and glanced at it, and found that all kinds of elixirs, talismans, spiritual herbs, broken weapons, etc. were piled up in a pile, and the quality was different.
"How many people has this witch killed?"
Lu Luan was secretly shocked. It was obvious that these things were left behind by the deceased. As for the flesh and blood, they must have been used by Shangguan Linglong to heal her wounds through blood refining.
"These should be enough, right?" Shangguan Linglong asked. Judging from her expression, if these were not enough, she would want to kill some more wandering cultivators.
"almost."
Lu Luan looked at them and said, against Asura, Yaksha and the like, just use more physical strength, and the magic energy will be mainly used to activate the rune formation of Shangguan Linglong Golem.
After making up their minds, the two flew to various trading places in the Wudu Sea.
In the air, the two of them flew on their own without saying a word to each other.
Lu Luan glanced at Shangguan Linglong and said, "I will only help you recover your Huangting. Don't ask me to help you find the power of the cave when the time comes."
He couldn't let Shangguan Linglong break through to the Jindan realm before his puppet technique was lifted, otherwise he wouldn't be able to suppress her.
"I have a Xuan-level spiritual root, so the power of the cave heaven is dispensable to me. I want it just to open a high-quality spiritual medicine cave heaven to remove the strange energy in my body." Shangguan Linglong said lightly.
“It’s actually a Xuan-level spiritual root!”
Lu Luan couldn't help but be shocked, and looked at Shangguan Linglong with some disbelief.
He didn't expect that this witch had such a talent.
Xuan-level spiritual roots are considered a genius even in the Pengling Sect.
If a Xuan-level spiritual root is combined with high-quality cave-heaven power, the quality of the spiritual medicine cave-heaven produces will definitely be much higher than his.
"So...how old are you?" he asked, frowning.
Shangguan Linglong looked at him and said with a strange smile: "I said I am already in my seventies, do you believe it?"
Lu Luan was a little surprised to hear such a joking tone coming out of her mouth.
He could naturally tell that Shangguan Linglong was telling the truth.
If it weren't for the serious injuries that had not yet healed, the damage to the Huangting, and the strange energy in the body, under normal circumstances, he would have reached the Golden Core stage at this age, or even the middle Golden Core stage.
But now, this witch is still lingering in the late stage of foundation building, and her physical body has deteriorated beyond recognition.
"Xuan-level spiritual roots, oh, what a pity."
Lu Luan sighed inwardly. He was already at this age. Even if he could break through to the Golden Core realm, his potential would have been greatly reduced.
At the same time, he also understood why the Demon Sect would send an ancestor-level figure to hunt her down.
The two spoke little along the way.
Next, Lu Luan moved between various trading places. After all, these were things that Shangguan Linglong obtained by killing people. If he didn't handle them well, they would be noticed by people with ulterior motives and cause trouble. So Lu Luan just sold them bit by bit, which was very time-consuming.
It took five full days to exchange them all for spirit stones.
……
Five days later, everything was ready, and Lu Luan and Shangguan Linglong came to a deserted mountain. In order to prevent his actions from causing trouble to the Jianyang Sect, he also changed his appearance.
"arrive."
Looking at the rift in front of him, Lu Luan stopped and a hint of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.
The last time he came here, he was still in the middle stage of foundation building, and he almost died at the hands of the royal Yaksha.
When I revisited the old place, I couldn’t help but be moved by the scene.
"Just down here?"
Shangguan Linglong stopped by and looked into the abyss.
"Well, let's go."
Lu Luan flew in first.
Shangguan Linglong saw him enter and followed him.
