A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 307 Settlement

“What a big house.”

After coming out of the house, the little girl sighed childishly, tugging at the corner of her clothes with her little hands, with nervousness in her eyes, and she was a little afraid to go in.

The little boy was the same, rubbing his hands on his clothes repeatedly, looking down at his feet, feeling very uneasy.

When they lived in the mountain town, they all lived in shabby huts, which were good enough to keep out the wind and rain, but were not exquisite.

So I parked outside and didn't dare to go in.

"Come in quickly."

Xiao Can ran to the door early and urged with a smile.

"This……"

The boy, holding his sister's hand, immediately became nervous when he saw Xiao Can and whispered, "I... let's just stay outside. If we go in... we're afraid we'll get dirty."

Lu Luan was a little silent. When he was seven or eight years old, he sometimes went to the city with his family but he didn't dare to enter those very clean shops.

"Oh, it's okay."

Xiao Can was very proactive. He ran over and pulled them in.

But when they arrived in the yard and looked at the surrounding rockery, pavilion, green bamboo, screens, etc., they were even more at a loss for a moment.

"Come, eat."

Xiao Can was very enthusiastic and soon brought some food.

Smelling the tempting aroma, the two siblings immediately pursed their lips and swallowed their saliva.

"Don't be shy, eat it."

Xiao Can was holding a big cake in his mouth, and then he took two more and handed them to them.

The siblings’ stomachs were already growling at the smell.

But they were too timid to answer it.

"It smells very good," Xiao Shen stuffed it into their hands.

The two finally couldn't bear it anymore and squatted on the ground and started to eat voraciously.

"Brother, it's delicious."

The little girl looked at her brother and said with a blushing face.

"My name is Lu Can. What are your names?" Xiao Can gave himself a name and asked them.

"My name is Liu Goudan, and my sister's name is Yaya." The boy said hesitantly.

"Pfft! Liu Goudan? Hahaha..."

Xiao Can couldn't help laughing and fell on the ground holding his stomach.

This made the two siblings even more at a loss.

However, Lu Luan was not surprised. Following the principle that a humble name makes it easier to raise a child, this is the case in remote areas. If his father had not been able to read a few words at that time, he would probably have had the same name. Although the two words "Lu Luan" were not very nice to hear, they were better than Tiezhu, Gousheng and the like.

"I'm older than you, so you can call me brother from now on," after laughing enough, Xiao Can began to confirm his status. He glanced at Lu Luan and decided that he would also satisfy his desire to be a brother today.

"Brother Lu."

The little girl called out first.

"Brother," the little boy also called out, but his voice sounded a little unfamiliar, perhaps because he was not used to it.

"I don't know what their spiritual roots are like."

Lu Luan sat on the stone bench, muttering silently in his heart.

Then he looked at the child and said with pity, "Goudan, since you have nowhere to go, why don't you stay with me? I just happened to open a restaurant in the city and there's no one to serve tea or water. Is that okay?"

After the boy swallowed what was in his mouth, he choked up and said, "Thank you, uncle. Thank you, uncle."

This look, very grateful.

Lu Luan looked at Xiao Can and said, "What are you standing there for? Go get two sets of clothes."

"Oh." Xiao Can ran into the house.

"From now on you don't have to be called Goudan. You'll be laughed at for calling him that in this small town. I'm going to give you a new name, called... Liu Chonglai, which means starting over. How about you call your sister Liu Ya?" He thought of two names at random.

"Thank you uncle."

The child agreed.

Everything went smoothly, and he naturally kept the two siblings.

As for the restaurant mentioned just now, isn’t it easy for him to open a restaurant if he wants?

Everything is ready.

Next is to take a shower and change clothes.

……

At night, Lu Luan stood in the yard, looking up at the moon silently.

Then the figure flashed and disappeared.

There is one more matter that urgently needs to be addressed.

half a month later.

The small town was sleeping quietly in the mountains. Everyone was busy with their own livelihood. In an ordinary restaurant in a remote place in the east end of the city, a small figure was wiping the tables where the guests had eaten. He was clean, busy and diligent.

This was naturally Liu who had returned. His parents were no longer around, but he had a younger sister by his side. Although he was only ten years old, he was already very sensible.

As for the little girl, she was playing in the corner. After what happened before, he was not comfortable leaving her somewhere else, so he always took her with him wherever he went.

The store was not doing well and had few customers. When he had free time, he would play with his little sister or learn to read with Xiao Can.

"Let's start over and take a break. There's no one around anyway."

Xiao Can sat behind the counter and shook his head.

Of course, this is just an illusion created by Xiao Can's magic. Within the scope of its "small world", with a little bit of its willpower it is just like its real body. There is no problem in normal communication. As for its real body, it is trying to figure out the Anti-Spirit Formation and only comes to play with them when it is interested.

"Brother Can, I'm not tired. I'm just going to sit here anyway." Liu Chonglai said without raising his head, busying himself on the table with a rag in his hand.

"Well, it's up to you."

"I don't know when my brother will be back."

Xiao Can stopped talking, held his chin with his hand, and stared blankly outside.

It felt uncomfortable without Lu Luan around.

After wiping it again, he came to Xiao Can and asked in a low voice: "Brother Can, when will the shopkeeper come back? I have something to discuss with him."

"What's the matter? Tell me the same thing."

Xiao Can was puzzled.

Liu Chonglai looked a little embarrassed, and hesitantly said, "I... I want to borrow ten cents from the shopkeeper. The private school across the street is recruiting people, and I want to send Yaya there to study and learn calligraphy. I asked, and it only costs ten cents."

"It's just a small matter. I'll just tell my brother."

Xiao Can didn't take it seriously and casually took out a string of copper coins and put them on the table.

"Thank you, Brother Shen. I will return it to you."

Liu Chonglai immediately thanked him.

"You call me brother, why are you still so polite?" Xiao Can couldn't help feeling a little flattered by being called that.

The store is quiet, but due to its location, there are few customers in this restaurant all day.

In the evening.

"what?"

"Brother is back."

The listless Xiao Can felt something and immediately became delighted. In the blink of an eye, his real body arrived at the restaurant without anyone noticing.

"Come again, Xiaoya, come here for a moment."

Lu Luan walked in from outside, exhausted, and called out to the two of them.

"Shopkeeper."

"uncle."

The two children ran over immediately.

"Manager Lu, how is the business going?"

The young senator found that Lu Luan did not call him. He could not help but sound sarcastic while speaking. He crossed his arms, pretended to fold his hands and put his hands in his sleeves, and spoke like an old man.

Lu Luan took a look at it, speechless, then took out a piece of white jade from his clothes and placed it on the table.

"Boss, what is this?" Liu Chonglai was puzzled.

He was only half a head taller than the table. As for Liu Ya, she stood on tiptoe and found that she couldn't reach it, so she moved a stool over and stood on it, looking at it curiously.

Lu Luan gestured, "Put your hand on this stone and see."

This was a stone for testing spiritual roots that he happened to pick up from a small immortal cultivation family nearby when he was out. He had to find out the physical condition of the brother and sister.

"Okay Uncle Lu."

Although Liu Chonglai didn't understand, he still gently placed his hand on it.

After a while, the stone began to emit a soft light. Of course, he did not let the two children see it. In their eyes, nothing unusual happened.

After a while, the light stabilized and showed three colors: blue, white and yellow.

"The three attributes of wood, gold and earth, but how come they are only top-grade mortal spiritual roots?" Lu Luan frowned slightly. He found that Liu Zhonglai's spiritual roots were similar to his own. "Hey, Chen Po, your luck is too..."

He felt a little sympathy for Chen Po.

"He hasn't even reached the yellow spiritual root. Xiaodai has gone through a lot of twists and turns and hardships to reincarnate into an ordinary spiritual root. This life is not sure." Xiaocan also looked surprised and was very puzzled.

But it is understandable. Reincarnation is uncertain. After all, it is just a remnant soul, and the parents in this life are just ordinary people. It is already good enough to reach the upper-level mortal spiritual roots.

At least there will be immortal gates that need it in the future.

"Uncle Lu, what's wrong?" Liu Chonglai asked.

"nothing."

Lu Luan shook his head and called to the girl, "Xiaoya, hold this stone."

"Ah."

The little girl laid on the table and put her little hand on it.

But after a while, the stone didn't move at all.

"Alas," Lu Luan sighed with regret. Liu Ya has no spiritual roots, not even pseudo spiritual roots or residual spiritual roots. He is just an ordinary mortal.

After sighing, he felt very lucky. Although his parents were mortals, they gave him relatively good spiritual roots.

He expected that the girl had no spiritual roots, because among a hundred mortals there might be one with a fake spiritual root.

"Although she can't cultivate immortality, it's good to be a mortal. I can use some spiritual herbs to clean her body and clear her meridians. If she practices martial arts in the future, she can become a powerful female warrior in the mortal world." Lu Luan said in his heart. Of course, these are later talks, and he has no time to take care of them.

“But if Liu comes again, we have to find a chance for him to start practicing. Unfortunately, his spiritual roots do not have fire attributes, so he cannot practice the Red Flame Mysterious Fire. Let him practice the Ling Tian Jue,” he looked at the boy, who was about ten years old and had reached the age to practice Taoism.

After all, he has gained benefits, so he should help within his ability. When this matter is over, he can keep his promise and let him join an immortal sect. It is not difficult and does not waste his time.

But Chen Po was really unlucky. If he had the most common five-element spiritual roots, he would be able to practice the skills he left behind.

"It's getting late today, go back and rest."

Lu Luan took back the stone and said to the two of them.

"Uncle Lu, are we going to close so early? There are more people eating in the evening."

Liu Chonglai asked in confusion. He was puzzled. Through his observations over the past few days, he found that Lu Luan didn't care about the restaurant at all. It seemed like he was just running it for fun. The daily revenue was not enough to pay the wages of the two busy guys in the kitchen.

"Then open it again. I have to go out for business recently. See if you can manage this restaurant for me. If you can, I will leave it to you."

Lu Luan smiled and began to explain. After a few words, he left.

Xiao Can conjured up a virtual figure behind him and followed him.

……

In the courtyard.

"Brother, how's it going?"

Xiaocan asked expectantly.

It knew that Lu Luan had gone out to find a teacher for it.

"What do you think?" Lu Luan smiled and waved his sleeves, and then a figure appeared on the ground.

Looking sideways, I saw an old man who exuded a very unpleasant aura.

This is a demon cultivator.

But now he is seriously injured, all the bones in his body are broken by the powerful force, and he is dying.

"He is a formation master?"

Xiao Can asked with a frown.

Lu Luan nodded, "Yes, I have personally experienced it. The power of the formation he set up is much stronger than that of the old man last time."

"Brother, where did you find it?"

Lu Luan smiled, opened his hand, took out a fruit and threw it to it, saying, "I'm lucky. When I was looking for a formation master at sea, I happened to hear that there was a place where the Cuiyun fruit was ripe, so I went to take a look. I didn't expect that this demon cultivator did it on purpose and spread the news so that he could set up a formation to kill him."

"So that's how it is," Xiao Can took a bite of the fruit, "Brother is so good that he didn't forget me."

“Mercy…Mercy…”

The demon cultivator woke up slowly and begged for mercy subconsciously.

When he was fully awake, he found Lu Luan looking at him. He was so scared that his legs started shaking. He said in a trembling voice, "You... don't come over here."

Although he was at the Foundation Establishment stage, he was already frightened by Lu Luan.

"But will he teach me? Brother, demon cultivators are dangerous and cunning."

Seeing this, Xiao Can was very worried.

"I will try to use the love potion. If it doesn't work, I will search his soul and extract the key things for you," Lu Luan pointed a finger at the demon cultivator's head and immediately fainted again.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Can shook his head and said, "Brother, it's not appropriate to use the soul-bewitching incense. It's too troublesome. Give his soul to me and I'll search it. You hurry up and practice the technique."

It knew that it had to search carefully bit by bit, but not only would this have a huge backlash on the soul, its brother also had to practice the Red Flame Mysterious Fire Qi in a hurry and could not be distracted by other things.

"You come?"

Lu Luan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xiao Can to be willing. You know, soul searching is more or less cruel and can easily affect one's character.

"Well, I have the immortal substance in the golden elixir to nourish me. Even if there is a backlash, I will recover quickly." Xiao Can nodded.

"Okay," Lu Luan agreed.

There was no need to keep the demon cultivator alive any longer, so he ended it all with a single sword, and gave his soul to the Demon Spirit Tree to absorb.

"Brother, when are you going to teach me to practice Taoism again?" Xiao Can asked.

"His spiritual roots are similar to mine. Let's wait for a while. I will use spiritual medicine to regulate his body and lay a good foundation for cultivation. This way, his cultivation speed will be faster in the future, and he won't have to go through such a difficult journey like I did."

He had already thought it through. He decided to lay a solid foundation first so that he could avoid taking detours in the future. It would only cost a few intermediate spirit stones anyway.

"But what about his sister?" Xiao Can asked again.

"Everyone has his own path. He will take care of his sister's affairs himself. Let's not make other arrangements, lest we make things worse. Just let nature take its course."

He didn't want to interfere too much. In fact, it was not appropriate for him to interfere. Besides, the other party was not without relatives. This was something Liu Chonglai would consider later.
