A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 240: Tempering Begins

"Thank you, elder, for informing me."

"Elder, will you stay here from now on?" Lu Luan asked again. If Elder Lu stayed here, he could come and ask him questions about cultivation from time to time.

Elder Lu took a sip of tea, shook his head and chuckled, "No, the world is so big, I naturally need to go around and see more."

What they pursue is freedom. If they stay in one place for a long time, it is tantamount to imprisoning themselves in a circle. Moving around more and seeing the vast world will be beneficial to their cultivation.

"Do you want to travel with me?" Elder Lu asked him.

Lu Luan also drank a cup and said, "Everyone has his own way to go. I still want to pursue my own opportunities in this world."

"Hey, the pursuit of immortality is freedom and ease, there is no need to make things difficult for yourself."

Lu Luan just chuckled and said nothing.

Free and easy? Fame, wealth, grudges, and competition, immortals, mortals, and all living things all have their own troubles. How many people can be free and easy? In this turbulent torrent of the world, no one can control their own destiny.

The two continued to talk about other things.

……

……

Two days later.

At the seaside, Lu Luan is suspended in the air, looking into the distance.

"Brother, where are we going now?"

Xiao Can stood on his shoulder, holding a small gourd filled with spiritual liquid, and asked in a childish voice.

"Where do you want to go?" Lu Luan turned his head and looked at it with a smile.

Xiao Can stroked his chin and thought for a while, then sat down and said crisply, "I'll go wherever my brother goes."

"Then go into seclusion."

"Ah, another retreat."

Upon hearing about the retreat, Xiao Can's face suddenly fell.

"Ah."

"Brother, can we still see Sister Xiaoyan and Grandpa Lu?" Looking back, it asked again in a low voice.

"We will meet again if fate allows."

After Lu Luan said this, he moved his body and flew towards the horizon.

After staying with Elder Lu for two days, we have different paths and it is time to separate. The most urgent task now is to use potions to temper the body first, and then absorb treasures to improve strength.

With so many treasures on me, I would be worried if I didn't digest them all quickly.

We found a remote island in the sea and landed there.

It's time to temper your body with potions.

After staying on the island, his soul scanned the area and discovered an underground cave in the dense forest.

So he flew to that place.

After entering through the cracks on the surface, the scene inside is dim to the naked eye, but it is very peaceful due to the weak sunlight and the illumination of some luminous plants growing underground.

There is also a spring in it, and the clear gurgling water gathers into a clear pool in the center of the cave, with small fish swimming in it.

Lu Luan looked around, feeling satisfied, and said with a smile: "This is a good place, suitable for retreat."

"Brother, I also want to retreat and become stronger quickly."

Xiao Can jumped onto the stone next to him and said to him.

Lu Luan nodded slightly. This was the best way, as it would save him from running around the island. It seemed that after refining the six qi, he was much calmer than before.

"But let's play for a while first."

After smiling mischievously, it jumped into the pond to swim and catch fish.

Lu Luanzhe sat cross-legged on the ground, thinking in his heart: "After tempering the body, it will take at least half a year to absorb those treasures. Now that the discomfort caused by taking the magic fruit to my soul has dissipated, I will take a piece of fruit pulp first. This long period of time will just be enough to slow down. After the training is completed, I can take another piece."

The God-Slaying Art is his trump card. The more Yuanshen sword energy in the Purple Mansion, the better. With this arrangement, he will have two more sword energies after the retreat, adding them to the previous ones, a total of five.

After making up his mind, he took out a piece of magic fruit pulp and swallowed it.

After a while, a special medicinal power went straight up to the purple palace.

In the fiercely burning soul fire, another wisp of sword energy emitting golden light slowly rose up, and finally, like the other wisps of sword energy, it entangled with the soul sword which was more condensed than before.

Xiao Can, who was standing next to him, was tired from playing, so he sat in front of him, put his hands between his legs, and looked at him with his head tilted with innocent eyes.

After a while, perhaps because it felt sleepy, it yawned, then walked around on its short legs, and finally found a place with soft soil. With a flash of green light on its body, it drilled into the soil, turning into its original form and growing in the hole, with its leaves swaying in the wind.

However, there is a misty air lingering between the leaves, which is the medicinal power it exudes, suggesting that it is precious.

Two days later.

After the fruit pulp was absorbed, Lu Luan slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the emerald green and vigorous ginseng not far away, he shook his head and smiled, "This little fellow is quite obedient and sensible. When he reaches the foundation-building stage, he will be of great help to me."

He knew how outstanding the Six Qi practitioners at the Foundation Establishment stage were, and he couldn't help but feel very excited.

Then his eyes tightened and he began to think: "The God-Slaying Technique is about to reach a small bottleneck. It seems that I need to spend time to practice it well. When it reaches another level, the killing power will be much stronger."

"Hey, let's do business first."

After thinking for a while, Lu Luan looked around and finally saw a huge rock on the wall of the cave. He opened his hand, and the small sword appeared, and finally chiseled a big hole in the rock.

He is now in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the Five Elements Sword Controlling Technique can no longer be used to defend against enemies. He can only handle such trivial matters.

Next he took a light leap and landed on the stone. He opened his hand and sucked out all the stone chips and debris, completely clean.

To temper the body, one naturally needs to create a container.

Feeling that it was about time, he took out a bottle and filled it with clear spiritual water.

He bought this spiritual water on Lingyun Island with a few intermediate spirit stones. After staying at the foot of Hunyuan Peak for so many days, he had a rough understanding of body tempering.

“I wonder how effective it will be?”

Looking at the water surface that was emitting cold mist, he took out the small ceramic bottle filled with medicinal powder and slowly sprinkled it in the water, looking forward to the effect.

As the medicinal powder was absorbed, the color of the spiritual liquid began to change, finally turning emerald green, exuding a strange fragrance and tremendous medicinal power.

"It's really good stuff, but it's a pity that there is too little of it. It would be better if there were a few more bottles."

Lu Luan chuckled, took off his shirt, and then slowly fell into it.

One bottle was so hard to come by, and he was still thinking about getting more.

"Ok?"

After soaking in it, a cool feeling came, as if he was in cold water, but Lu Luan frowned, because this was not the reaction of the quenching fluid.

But soon, he began to feel the heat all over his body, as if it were magma. As the unique medicinal power began to enter his body, he could find that his skin was turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a piece of fine iron being tempered!

"hiss……"

Even though he was mentally prepared, he still gasped in pain, his brows furrowed, and his hands clenched.

But this feeling of melting kept deepening, the blood in the heart was boiling hot, the heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and the blood vessels on the surface of the skin were also emerging regularly.

"I didn't expect it to be so painful. No wonder He Yun said that when disciples usually soak in the water, they would use acupuncture to seal the heart meridian to ensure that the soul does not dissipate."

"There's nothing we can do. Now that things have come to this, we can only endure it."

Lu Luan gritted his teeth and endured it with difficulty.

This time there was no irreconcilable medicinal power in the body, so there was no unusual movement on that layer of runes.

Runes are actually like the scales of monsters. Within a certain range, the stronger the body, the stronger its defense will be. However, this tempering is only to reduce the shackles of the body, which is different from the last time, so it will not alarm it.
