A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 410: Xuan-level Sword Technique 4 Seasons Sword Qi, Yuanshen Starlight Technique

"I recall what it was like in Zhengyang Gate in the past." Lu Luan said to the distance, then looked at him and asked, "Brother Song, how have you been these years?"

Song Ling sat next to him and sighed, "He is just ordinary. After escaping by chance, he wandered around looking for opportunities to improve his cultivation. Thanks to his Yuanshen Seed, he finally broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage at the age of forty."

"But my talent is just like that. After breaking through to the initial stage of foundation building, it is difficult to make further progress. So I simply stopped pursuing anything. Finally, I found a Taoist partner and lived in a small town incognito, hoping to spend the rest of my life in peace. Six years ago, a former elder of Zhengyang Sect found me, so I came to Jianyang Sect. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I might as well make some contributions to the sect."

"It's also very good."

Lu Luan replied softly, although it looks ordinary, a life where one person holds an umbrella and two people walk together is a life that many people dream of but cannot live.

"Brother Lu, these years have been... not easy for you."

Song Ling looked at him with great admiration. He and Lu Luan had the same talent and had experienced it before. He knew in his heart how difficult it was to improve one's cultivation after reaching the foundation building stage. However, Lu Luan had actually reached the late foundation building stage in these years, which was truly incredible.

In fact, there is no need to guess, you can tell that what he has experienced in the past few decades is absolutely unimaginable for ordinary people.

This is indeed the case. Along the way, every step Lu Luan took was extremely dangerous. His cultivation and strength were all gained by fighting for his life. None of it was easy.

"It's not bad."

Lu Luan pretended to be calm and said that he felt it was nothing. Since he had chosen to move forward, he should not be afraid of being scratched by the thorns along the way.

Then the two of them wandered around the island and reminisced about the past.

……

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.

A quiet place.

Lu Luan sat alone in the pavilion in the bamboo forest, his fingers moving constantly and chanting magical spells. In front of him, several jade pendants emitting soft light were floating.

As if sensing something, he waved his hand and put away the jade pendant. Then he looked up into the sky and murmured, "Is he out of seclusion?"

He knew that Zhou Bufan had come out of seclusion.

Sure enough, after a while, a middle-aged man appeared in front of him. He had a tough and handsome face, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. Although he could vaguely see his former appearance, the years had passed and he no longer had the youthful spirit he once had.

He became steady and upright, and grew long black beard above and below his lips, giving him the aura of a sect leader.

"Junior Brother Lu, how are you?"

After seeing him, Zhou Bufan laughed loudly, with many expressions in his eyes.

He never imagined that the down-and-out young man whom he had once helped had grown to this point.

"Senior Brother Zhou."

Lu Luan stood up and spoke with a smile.

When looking at his current appearance, I couldn't help but be slightly confused. Is this person in front of me still the same talented and unparalleled person as before?

Time flies like water, and the previous high spirits have completely settled down, replaced by a profound sense of seeing through the world.

"I didn't expect that after our last separation, when we met again, we had both grown from juniors to seniors. Haha, we've all become uncles. Time really doesn't spare us."

Zhou Bufan also sighed softly at the ruthlessness of time. Lu Luan is no longer the Lu Luan of the past, and he is no longer the him of the past, just like the big trees on the mountain, withering and flourishing with the seasons.

The two met again and had many feelings.

"Among all the disciples of Zhengyang Sect, Junior Brother Lu is the most surprising."

Zhou Bufan walked in from the path.

"Where is Senior Sister Long?" Lu Luan asked.

"She is trying to reach the Half-Step Golden Core Realm."

The two sat down facing each other in a small pavilion in the green bamboo forest. The breeze blew, and the bamboo fragrance filled their noses, refreshing their hearts.

Then the two began to chat.

"Brother Zhou, do you still remember the swordsman in our Zhengyang Sect?"

After a while, Lu Luan remembered something and asked.

"Junior Brother Lu, you are talking about the master's disciple, Jian Xuan, right?"

Zhou Bufan must know Jian Xuan.

"Yeah." Lu Luan nodded lightly. He had already gotten to know the Jianyang Sect clearly over these days. Now, among the people from the Zhengyang Sect on the island, Jian Xuan was nowhere to be seen.

Although he didn't have much contact with them when he was in Zhengyang Gate, Jian Xuan was one of the people who impressed him the most.

"I have used the Zhengyang Order to look for my former disciple in Wudu Sea and its surrounding areas, but I can't find him. Sigh, maybe... he failed to escape, or maybe he left Wudu Sea and went to a place farther away."

Talking about Jian Xuan, Zhou Bufan's eyes flashed with deep regret. As the master's disciple, he must be very extraordinary and his potential is definitely above his own. If he can find him, there will be more hope for the revival of the sect.

Although Long Li is also trying to reach a higher realm, his hope of success is very slim. Even for him, he only has the possibility of breaking through to the golden elixir stage. The Jianyang Sect is currently in great need of people with potential.

After sighing, Zhou Bufan continued, "Junior Brother Lu, I heard from Elder Lu that you are planning to go to the Wilderness?"

"That's right." Lu Luan replied without beating around the bush.

Zhou Bufan stopped talking. He just stroked the teacup with his hand and stared intently, not knowing what he was thinking about.

No one spoke again.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the forest became a little subtle, with only the rustling sound of wind blowing through the green bamboo.

Lu Luan just looked at him quietly.

Practicing the Five Thunder Spirit Embryo requires a huge amount of resources. In this small corner of Wudu Sea, there are simply not many treasures that can support him to continue to improve his strength, let alone think about breaking through to a higher level.

Now he is like a tree waiting to grow. If he wants to grow taller, he must leave this barren land and spread his branches and leaves to fertile places.

After a while, Zhou Bufan seemed to have decided something. He put down the cup, looked at him, and said earnestly:

"Junior Brother Lu wants to venture into wider areas, which is a good thing. Don't worry, I won't stop you. However, those places are not like the Wudu Sea, and those at the Foundation Establishment stage may not be able to protect themselves."

After a slight pause, he continued: "I have two magical powers that should be able to help you."

"Magic power?" Lu Luan became curious.

Zhou Bufan stood up, opened his hands and set up some isolation restrictions around him, and said in a serious manner: "One is a soul-refining technique, and the other is a profound sword technique."

"The art of refining the spirit! Mysterious swordsmanship?"

Lu Luan's eyes were wide with shock. He didn't expect that Zhou Bufan had such a good thing on him.

"Yes, they were all left by my master. This soul-refining technique is called the Yuanshen Starlight Technique."

"As for the Xuan-level sword technique, it is my master's Four Seasons Sword Qi."

“I didn’t expect that Elder Liu’s Four Seasons Sword Qi would be of the Xuan level.”

Lu Luan was very surprised. Although he had witnessed the power of the Four Seasons Sword Qi, he guessed that it would be at most the same as his own magic, upper yellow level. He did not expect it to be at the mysterious level.

"Brother Zhou, this is too expensive, isn't it?"

He still found it hard to believe. After all, he did not stay in the sect, and the other party actually gave him such a precious thing.

"You and I are both disciples of Zhengyang Sect, this is nothing."

Zhou Bufan didn't care.

With a wave of his hand, two jade pendants floated on the table, and then he said: "This is the best Qi training method in the sect now. It is in the inheritance stone, but it is only suitable for people with single spiritual roots. If Junior Brother Lu is interested, he can also comprehend it. The two jade pendants record the Four Seasons Sword Qi and the Yuanshen Starlight Technique."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou."

Lu Luan had a complicated look in his eyes and stood up to thank him.

"In fact, there is a medium-level yellow-level essence-refining technique in our sect. However, judging from your physique, I believe you already have a suitable essence-refining technique."

Zhou Bufan had a keen sense and could see how strong Lu Luan's body was.

"A medium yellow-level essence-refining technique? No wonder."

Lu Luan finally understood why Zhou Bufan was so powerful now. He must have practiced this level of essence-refining technique to its limit.

Of course, the resources consumed in this process probably almost consumed all the foundation he brought out from the Zhengyang Sect, otherwise the Jianyang Sect would not have even an ordinary sect protection formation and spirit gathering formation now.

"Junior Brother Lu, if you want to practice the Soul Starlight Technique, you need to use mental power, but your own spirit is weak after all, and your practice is slow. At this time, you must rely on the help of others." Zhou Bufan continued.

"Brother Zhou, tell me in detail."

He knew this, but Zhou Bufan definitely knew more about this.

"If Junior Brother Lu intends to practice, the usual method is to cultivate your own power. You are going to the Wilderness, which is the most important place to pay attention to."

"My own power," Lu Luan roughly understood. If he established a gang, the spiritual power of everyone in the gang would flow to him.

"Yes, there are many types of forces, and the best are two. One is to establish a sect, and the other is to establish a family. The mental power gathered by these two methods is the purest, and the heart is focused on yourself, which is also the safest. If the mental power is too mixed, and you refine it into your own soul, it is very easy to go astray and lose your mind."

Lu Luan understood why, when he went to Pengling Sect before, any disciples with a little bit of strength would open up their own mountains in the sect and then attract a group of followers. Now it seems that a big reason is to collect mental power for their own cultivation. The more benefits given, the better the mental power.

The reason why Zhou Bufan is rebuilding his sect and recruiting former members of the Zhengyang Sect may be for this reason. After all, the sect is just newly established, its cohesion is not strong, and the disciples' cultivation is not high enough. Only those who had deep feelings for the Zhengyang Sect in the past can provide pure and high-quality mental power.

In fact, at his current level, it is impossible for him to prepare the things needed to break through to the Golden Core level in a short period of time. When his cultivation level cannot make any progress, the only way for him to make progress in strength is to practice the art of refining the soul.

Zhou Bufan continued: "But both of these methods require a lot of time and energy, and are obviously not suitable for you."

"Brother, do you have any other method?"

That’s true, especially the family. Seeing his expression, Lu Luan asked.

Zhou Bufan nodded slightly, his eyes became a little weird, and said: "Yes, just prepare a space magic treasure, capture some creatures in it and force them to bless you, praise you, and extol you day and night.

"Although the quality of the telekinesis generated in this way is not high, it is enough. Of course, you must be determined to do this, otherwise there is a risk of going astray. But I think that Junior Brother Lu, your willpower is probably beyond my reach, so there is no need to worry too much about this aspect."

“So it can be done this way.”

Lu Luan felt that his horizons had been broadened, but at the same time he could also feel the dangers of this world.

But after he finished speaking, Zhou Bufan's expression became more serious, and he said solemnly: "Junior Brother Lu, but there is a rule that you must never touch."

"Brother Zhou, please speak."

Lu Luan also realized the importance of that rule.

Zhou Bufan looked outside earnestly and said, "When you get to a place as big as the Wilderness, you will see many other races on this Cangming Star. The rule is that except for the demon cultivators and monster cultivators, you must not enslave our human race or the races that have a good relationship with us to force them to generate telekinesis. If you are discovered, you will be regarded as a demon by the immortal disciples there."

"Brother, this rule was set by Kunlun, right?"

Lu Luan also knew the pros and cons of this and asked, after all, looking at Cangming Star, only Kunlun had the ability to set such rules and make all the immortals obey them.

"Yes, there are many forces on Cangming Star that are opposed to the human race. When the time comes, there is no need to hold back. They treat people the same way. When you meet them, remember to be careful."

"Thank you, Brother Zhou, for letting me know."

Lu Luan thanked him. If Zhou Bufan hadn’t told him these things now, he really wouldn’t have known them.

"You will know these sooner or later. I am just reminding you not to make mistakes." Zhou Bufan smiled and then introduced another jade pendant. "This Four Seasons Sword Qi is not easy to practice. You need to comprehend some of the six qi. You have the ginseng baby here, so it shouldn't be too difficult to practice it."

Next, Zhou Bufan began to talk about his own experience in practicing these two methods and techniques.

Lu Luan also asked about some precautions, trying to get things clear and avoid taking detours.

It's getting later.

"Junior brother, be careful when you go to the wilderness."

Zhou Bufan warned again that they were the strongest in Jianyang Sect.

Lu Luan nodded.

Zhou Bufan walked to the pavilion, put his hands behind his back and looked at the red sun slowly sinking into the sea in the distance. He suddenly sighed and said, "Hey, Junior Brother Lu, I envy you for being able to go wherever you want."

Lu Luan was slightly stunned, with a lonely look in his eyes. He stepped forward and said, "Brother Zhou, although I am not staying in the sect, I am also a part of the sect."

In fact, the young leader of Jianyang Sect also wants to travel to wider places like him, but he has too many responsibilities to bear.

"I feel a lot more relaxed now that you're sharing the burden," Zhou Bufan looked at him and smiled.

The two of them now are just like the former leaders of Zhengyang Sect, Huang Shigong and Liu Rufeng.

People rise and fall, and some burdens finally shifted to the shoulders of their generation.

Next, Lu Luan waved his hand and took out several jade pendants that he had prepared before. "Brother Zhou, these are some skills and magical powers that I have acquired over the years, including the Insect Puppetry Technique, the Flame Spear Spirit Snake Technique, the God-Slaying Technique, the Innate Five Qi Technique, the Red Flame Mysterious Fire Qi, the Azure Cloud White Crane Temple..."
