A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 833 Begin to retreat

"Brother Lu, what techniques did you choose?"

Lin Xi asked curiously.

"A technique for condensing an infant called the Three-Eyed Yuanying, and the Qinglian Temple. The Qi-refining technique has not been changed yet. I will choose it later and use the Jing-refining technique to exchange for a superior Xuan-level magical power." Lu Luan said slowly.

"Three-eyed Nascent Soul, this is indeed very suitable for you. However, your soul is in the shape of a crane. Why did you choose Qinglian Temple? The sect also has a crane-shaped soul-refining technique, which will save you some time when you change your practice." Lin Xi was a little puzzled.

"When I was traveling in the wilderness before, I got a green lotus. When I saw this spiritual cultivation technique, the image of the green lotus growing appeared in my mind, so I chose it."

"Qinglian..."

"Well, later on, I used this green lotus to exchange for an opportunity to predict fate from that fortune-teller."

"If the Green Lotus can be worthy of his attention, it must be something extraordinary."

"By the way, Senior Brother Lu, what magical power did you choose?"

"It's a secret technique called the Cage Cave Heaven. The cave heaven is built like a cage. You can actively attack or lock the opponent inside." Lu Luan replied.

Lin Xi said thoughtfully: "It turned out to be the Prison Cage Cave Heaven. When I first came to the Tengluo Clan, I saw Elder Cheng Feng perform it. However, the cultivation requirements of this secret technique are very high, and few people in the sect practice it."

"Xiao Xi, Elder Cheng Feng is in the Tengluo tribe now, right?"

Lin Xi shook his head with a depressed look, "Elder Cheng was seriously injured and passed away a few years ago. He was a demon beast incarnation, and his original body was a spirit turtle, so the cave he opened was unusually hard. He used the prison cave to suppress two mid-Nascent Soul stage longhorn beetles and iron sparrows at the same time."

"I didn't expect that Elder Cheng has already passed away." A thought arose in Lu Luan's mind, wondering whether the inheritance mark he obtained was left by Cheng Feng.

"When I first came to the Tengluo tribe, I also experienced many tragic battles. Now, there are more than ten Yuanying elders buried here, including Elder Cheng Feng. However, we also killed 150 foreign monsters. The most deaths were from the Skybeetles, more than 80, followed by the Iron Birds, more than 50. In fact, when we broke into the Iron Birds' territory, if the Skybeetles had not run fast, there would have been more than a dozen corpses of Nascent Soul-level Skybeetles left behind."

These numbers are terrifying to hear. Although there is a big gap in casualties, the demon clan has the upper hand clearly because they have a sufficient numerical advantage. For them, exchanging twenty for one is not a loss.

Moreover, there are only more than forty Nascent Soul masters from the Haoyue Sect who have come here.

When it comes to the Jindan realm, the physical advantages of the monsters will disappear. Even if they are of equal strength, it will basically take three monsters to tie with a human cultivator. In addition, there are many means such as talismans, so it is very difficult for outsiders to kill a human strongman.

"Brother Lu, are you sure you don't want to choose the Refining Essence Technique? If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to obtain it again in the future." Lin Xi didn't understand why he would use the Refining Essence Technique to exchange for supernatural powers.

"No need for that. The essence-refining technique I'm practicing now should be enough for me to break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul."

"It can actually support him to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul." Lin Xi felt incredible. She originally thought that Lu Luan's method of refining essence was only slightly better than his method of refining spirit, and at most could only barely support him to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. She didn't expect the quality to be so good.

The quality of this technique is almost as good as the one practiced by the sect's middle-Nascent Soul stage elders.

"Where did you get it?" Lin Xi asked with a frown.

Because this level of skills is almost always controlled by major forces, independent practitioners have no chance of accessing it. She was worried that Lu Luan had made some kind of deal.

Lu Luan's eyes showed memories, and he said slowly: "When I was in Zhengyang Sect, my master taught me the Xiantian Five Qi Jue. Later, I was in the Falling Star Valley..."

"So that's what it is."

Lin Xi understood what happened and felt relieved. If there really was some kind of deal, the price to be paid would be unimaginably high.

"Although this technique can improve my strength quickly, it consumes too many resources." Lu Luan felt bitter when he thought about the horrific amount of resources required to practice the Five Thunder Spirit Embryo Technique.

He knew that this kind of martial arts was actually prepared for people like them with ordinary qualifications.

If he had not practiced the Five Thunder Spirit Embryo Art and before fusing with the dragon bloodline, would he have been able to break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core so quickly?

"This is very similar to the Glazed Jade Art that I practice. My method of refining essence requires the absorption of rare jade to cultivate a glazed body. But I am luckier than you, Brother Lu. Master has already prepared all the materials I need." Lin Xi also told him his secret.

"Lapis Lazuli body, no wonder the body is as warm and smooth as jade."

Lu Luan looked at her, stroking his chin and muttering thoughtfully, but when Lin Xi heard it, she immediately gave him a vicious look.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the courtyard while chatting.

"Brother Lu, let's go into seclusion together and improve our strength to the highest level before the war comes."

Lin Xi said.

"Ah."

Then the two of them came to the courtyard of the small building and began to prepare for the upcoming battle.

After looking at each other and nodding to each other, they sat cross-legged. They were all practicing the essence-refining technique, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Lu Luan's mind moved, and the five elements treasures he had purchased in Haoyue City appeared around him.

But seeing it so empty, I feel a little uncomfortable.

In the past, the things absorbed would have piled up into small mountains.

Then he slowly closed his eyes. The spiritual fetus in his five internal organs had already been impatient. As he urged it, the spiritual fetus released a brilliant light.

A huge suction force came from it.

The treasures around were like springs, gushing out essence and energy. The essence and energy gathered into five torrents. Lu Luan's body was like a bottomless pit, swallowing up all of these torrents.

After these essences are absorbed by the five internal organs, they are smoothly refined into the spirit fetus and then fed back out to travel around the body, entering the Spirit Medicine Cave and the True Dragon Cave and merging into the golden elixir.

"It can be refined so quickly?"

Just at the beginning, Lu Luan discovered something unusual, because he felt that there was no resistance in absorbing the essence this time. The essence was like water, flowing into the spiritual fetus and then slowly flowing out.

He understood that it was because the essence was pure, unlike the previous ones that were numerous and disorganized, and the spiritual fetus had to swallow it whole, making the conversion very difficult.

Calm your mind and start practicing the technique with all your strength.

At this moment, the spiritual fetus is like five huge machines, growing bigger and bigger.

The spiritual medicines in the six internal organs also began to move, and a part of the refined essence passed through the void vine in the triple burner and entered the other five spiritual medicines.

As the five internal organs became stronger, the six bowels also grew stronger. At this moment, there was no reversal of yin and yang or disorder of the five elements in his internal organs.

The energy in his body kept flowing, and the two golden pills in his cave grew bigger and bigger. The immortal position emerged like mist, and the cave made a slight crackling sound. Countless tiny crystals split, becoming brighter and harder.

This indicates that Lu Luan's physical strength is getting stronger and stronger, and his cultivation is steadily improving, moving towards the peak of the Golden Core.

The Five Thunder Spirit Embryo Technique has already been perfected, and it is more than enough to break through to the peak of the Golden Core.

Lin Xi, who was not far away, also had a radiant light all over his body. A thumb-sized green ancient jade floated on his chest. As his hand seals changed, spiritual patterns emitting a cool breath emerged from his chest and spread along his skin, making his skin become extremely clear.

The ancient jade slowly rotated, turned into a green aura, and entered the Huangting.

His cultivation was also improving slowly.
