A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 431 Armored Gate

After returning to the small courtyard, the two sat down in the pavilion.

Xu Feng naturally took out the wine and the glass and poured it for him.

"Alas, what a pity! If I had enough spirit stones, I would also like to meet the city lord."

Xu Feng sighed with regret. With his level of cultivation, this was the closest he had ever been to a powerful being like the Lord of Liushuang City.

Although the overall strength of Liushuang City is not as good as that of Mawang City, the city lord is also in the late Jindan stage.

"Didn't you hear what Ye Lingjun said? It is possible to see him, but for such a small competition, how could a strong man of that level show up?" Lu Luan shook his head and said.

He believed that this was just a gimmick for the Cang Yun Chamber of Commerce to make money.

"It seems so."

"Brother Xu, how long do you plan to stay in the Zhou family?"

Lu Luan asked him, because seeing Xu Feng so exhausted every day in the Zhou family, repeating the same thing over and over again, like a puppet, it seemed a bit worthless.

Xu Feng looked at the tall Baidang Mountain in the distance, sighed and said: "See, if I leave here, with my cultivation level, I won't be able to find a job with such a high salary anywhere else."

"Your body is almost fully recovered. Haven't you considered anything else?" Lu Luan said in a deep voice.

"Other things... I have certainly considered them."

Xu Feng's eyes were filled with thoughts, then he retracted his gaze, raised his glass, and forced a smile, saying, "Let's not talk about this for now. I have to go to the Zhou family to work tomorrow. Let's drink first."

Lu Luan didn't say anything more. He raised his glass and the two of them chatted and laughed.

This went on until late at night.

The moonlight in the sky was very bright and the sky was very quiet.

"Brother Lu, when are you going to leave?"

Xu Feng looked at the bright moon and suddenly asked him.

Lu Luan thought about it and replied, "Tomorrow."

Although he has been practicing the God-Slaying Art for the past month, he cannot stay here any longer. After reaching the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the Five Thunder Spirit Embryo Art, and his physical strength can continue to increase.

His next plan was to kill the demon cultivators or to gain experience underground, in any case, he wanted to earn enough spirit stones to increase his physical strength to the maximum. Once he was strong enough, he could then solve the problem of cultivation.

Xu Feng stopped talking, walked to the edge of the pavilion, looked into the distance, his eyes full of thought.

People have different paths, and there will always be times when they part ways.

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Lu Luan asked, "Brother Xu, is there something on your mind?"

Xu Feng seemed to have decided something. He turned around and looked at him seriously: "Brother Lu, can you please stay and we can work together to achieve something big?"

"Big deal? What big deal?"

Lu Luan frowned in confusion.

"Brother Lu should still remember the Armored Gate that I mentioned when we were in Pengling Sect." Xu Feng stood beside him and asked him.

"Ah."

Lu Luan naturally remembered that the path taken by the Pijia Sect was similar to that of the Hunyuan Peak of the Pengling Sect, both of which focused on tempering the physical body.

Xu Feng said solemnly: "Brother Lu, the ruins of Pijiamen are just to the north of Bailuzhou, only a month's journey away."

"Brother Xu, do you mean there is something else in the ruins?"

Lu Luan frowned and looked at him.

"Although the Pijia Gate is now in ruins, the former cave is still there, and I know the entrance to that cave." Xu Feng told him an astonishing news.

"Cave Heaven!" Lu Luan's expression was shocked. The sect's cave heaven was not the same as those secret realms outside. In addition to spiritual herbs, there might be some adventures inside.

"Brother Xu, are you serious?"

Xu Feng nodded gently, "Yes, this Pijia Sect is a sect that specializes in tempering the body. When I was in Pengling Sect before, this was the last time I persisted in tempering with potions. As compensation, Daoist He Yun saw that I was from Bailuzhou and he couldn't use it, so he told me by the way."

"He Yun," Lu Luan frowned and said, "He has been to the cave before, is there anything good left?"

He Yun is a genius in Hunyuan Peak of Pengling Sect. He discovered the cave when he went to the ruins of Pijia Gate. He explored it and must have searched it inside and out, even moving away some remaining books. It is believed that there would not be anything valuable left in it.

"There are still some. Although the cave has been abandoned, there are still some broken formations that are specifically used to refine the body. By using those formations, it is not difficult to improve your strength to the middle stage of foundation building within two years. This is much safer than taking risks in other places."

"Have you been in there?" Lu Luan looked at him in surprise.

"Well, after returning from Pengling Sect, I followed what Daoist Fellow He Yun said and went in once. However, there was a demon beast whose strength was close to the middle stage of foundation building. I almost died in it last time."

"Brother Lu, how about you and I join forces to kill the monster, and then use the formation to temper our bodies and improve our strength?"

Xu Feng looked at him very seriously.

"Are there many monsters in that cave?" Lu Luan asked thoughtfully.

"Not many. There is a lack of spiritual energy inside. It is a dry little cave. There is only one dormant monster inside that is quite powerful. The others are all small monsters and wild beasts. However, that monster has a strong defense. I can't deal with it alone, but if the two of us join forces, it shouldn't be a problem."

"It seems that the cave is really dry," Lu Luan thought to himself. It can only raise one monster of this strength, which shows how scarce the resources are.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Feng thought that he was afraid that the monster was too powerful, so he quickly said, "I have saved a lot of spirit stones over the years, so I can buy a spirit talisman just in case."

"Brother Xu, do you trust me so much?" Lu Luan raised his head and looked at him strangely.

After hearing this, Xu Feng smiled and said calmly, "I think Brother Lu is a trustworthy person."

In fact, he had the idea of ​​joining forces when he first saw Lu Luan coming, but he was still a little worried. However, after more than a month of getting along with him, he finally let down his guard and made up his mind.

"Then is it true that there is something wrong with your refining technique?" Lu Luan looked at him. Now that he thinks about it, the saying that the technique was damaged was probably just an excuse at the time.

He also knew that Xu Feng invited him to watch the alchemy competition, actually taking the opportunity to observe him.

Xu Feng nodded gently, "Yes, I did it on purpose."

"Why?" Lu Luan looked at him in surprise.

Xu Feng stood up and explained, "Brother Lu, you know that my spiritual roots were severely damaged. After I finished tempering in Pengling Sect that day, I found that the potion that nourished the body had the effect of repairing my spiritual roots. This gave me a glimmer of hope."

"It's just that I practiced the Refining Essence Technique, and my body is strong. If I use this method to repair my spiritual roots, it will cost a lot more resources. I can't afford it, so I have to give up some things. So I use the backlash of the Zhou family's Baidang Mountain formation to reduce the strength of my body. It just happens to earn some spiritual stones by the way. It's a two-birds-with-one-stone. After these years of hard work, my spiritual roots have almost recovered. My current cultivation is higher than before."

"I see, Brother Xu, you really are a hidden talent."

Lu Luan looked at him deeply. He didn't expect Xu Feng to have such a plan. He had underestimated him before. Over the years, the other party did not resign himself to fate. Instead, like him, he tried every means to find ways to improve his strength.

"Brother Lu, how about it, what do you think?"

Xu Feng looked at him expectantly.

Lu Luan thought about it, nodded and smiled: "In that case, I'd better obey your command."

He wanted to take a look at the cave of the Pijia Sect and help Xu Feng at the same time. Otherwise, with his level of cultivation, he would have no way to deal with the monster.

Xu Feng was also limited by his spiritual roots. Although he had the Anti-Spirit Formation on his body, that thing required a powerful essence-refining technique to activate. Even if he passed the Five Thunder Spirit Embryo Technique to Xu Feng, not to mention that some powerful people would notice his abnormality and bring him fatal disaster, Xu Feng wanted to practice, not to mention other difficulties. At least he would need tens of thousands of intermediate spirit stones to practice the technique to a certain level before he could activate the formation and refine his spiritual roots.

Moreover, his spiritual roots are of yellow level, which is much better than his.

"That's great."

Xu Feng was immediately overjoyed.

"When are we going?" Lu Luan asked.

Xu Feng thought for a moment and said, "How about half a month later? I still have one month's salary to pay at the Zhou family."

Lu Luan shook his head and smiled, "Brother Xu, why don't we set off now."

He only has a few intermediate spirit stones a month, and Lu Luan doesn't want to delay any longer.

"Let's do it tomorrow morning so we can get ready. I'll go to the Zhou family now to get the payment." Xu Feng said. This was his hard-earned money, and he wasn't so generous as to give the spirit stones to the Zhou family for free.

"Okay, tomorrow morning then."

Lu Luan nodded, thinking it would not be good to act too hastily.

"Brother Lu, wait for me here, I'll be there now."

After drinking a glass of wine, Xu Feng took off into the air and flew towards Zhou's house.

After seeing him leave.

A ray of light flew out from Lu Luan's chest, and after the soft light dissipated, a little kid appeared.

"Yeah, I've grown a bit taller."

Looking at it, Lu Luan nodded and said, after a month of settling, the nutrients from the skull and golden elixir fragments that Xiao Shen had absorbed before began to transform in his body. After they no longer provided him with medicinal energy, all of them were used to grow his body.

In just one month, it has grown more than two inches taller than before.

Xiao Can proudly stood beside his feet and measured his height, then said happily, "You've really grown taller. After I use up all the things in my body, I will definitely be as tall as your legs."

It is now full of spiritual energy, white and plump, and exudes an enticing medicinal fragrance.

Lu Luan's eyes were complicated. If this little guy had not provided him with a huge amount of medicinal energy before, he would definitely be as tall as a ten-year-old child now.

"Brother, Xu Feng is really a ruthless person."

Xiao Can said with admiration.

"Ah."

Lu Luan agreed in his heart. There are many variables in the path of cultivation. Many cultivators focus more on the present, but not everyone is willing to give up the strong body they have worked so hard to cultivate.

"I just don't know what's inside that cave." Xiao Can sat on the stone table, swinging his legs, with anticipation in his eyes.

Lu Luan was also a little curious. After all, there had been an immortal sect with fairly good strength there. Even if it was now short of spiritual energy and exhausted resources, there should be something special about it.

Half an hour later.

A figure flew over from the direction of the Zhou family.

Looking at his happy eyes, you can tell that you have succeeded.

As soon as he landed, Xu Feng smiled and said, "I thought they would make things difficult for me, but I didn't expect the Zhou family to be so generous and even gave me two more spirit stones."

Lu Luan joked, "You've worked so hard in Baidang Mountain for so many years. Even if you haven't made any contributions, you've worked hard. If I make things difficult for you, I'm afraid you'll develop a demon in your heart."

Xu Feng sat next to him, "Brother Lu, how many spirit stones do you have now? Although I have consumed a lot over the years, I still have more than fifty pieces. How about we get together to buy a powerful first-level spirit talisman for Zhang Wei's use in case of emergency? This will be safer. If everything goes well, we can sell the spirit talisman for the same reason."

The more critical the moment, the more we need to be stable, otherwise all previous efforts will be in vain.

"can."

Although it was unnecessary, seeing how uncertain he was, Lu Luan agreed.
