A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 272 Zhao Kaishan

After all, the Hanluo Sea is a remote place. Although there are good things there, there are not many that satisfy him. After searching for another day, he finally collected some spiritual objects suitable for practicing the Innate Five Qi Jue.

Of course, since a lot of spirit stones were sold for the broken array plate, there were still a hundred pieces left, most of which were given to Xiao Can to buy the corresponding spirit soil, and dozens of pieces were left in the storage ring for his use.

After doing all this, he couldn't wait to find an island near the sea to seclude himself.

Prepare to increase physical strength.

……

"I wonder how much physical strength I can increase this time."

In the slightly damp cave, he muttered softly as he looked at the various spiritual medicines floating on the left and right.

Last time he spent several hundred intermediate spirit stones and a special demon crystal to increase the strength of more than 1,500 horses. He was a little excited and wondered how much he would gain this time.

Hold your breath, sit cross-legged, and begin to absorb quietly.

Five streams of energy with different attributes began to flow out from the elixir and entered his body.

And his body began to improve and transform.

A strong atmosphere quietly permeated the air.

……

Half a month later.

All the essence of the medicine has been completely absorbed.

"call……"

Lu Luan let out a long breath, slowly opened his eyes, and used his internal energy to restrain his breath.

After feeling it carefully, he didn't show much joy on his face, frowned and murmured: "It only barely increased the strength of about 500 fierce horses?"

"Ah, it seems that the higher the cultivation level, the harder it is to increase the strength." After sighing, he clenched his fists and said, "In total, it is about the strength of four thousand fierce horses, which is not bad."

He originally had a strength of more than three thousand horses, and his breakthrough in cultivation had slightly increased it. Now it has increased again, and the total has reached about four thousand horses.

"But it doesn't seem to have reached its limit, and there is still room for improvement."

Due to limited resources, this amount of spiritual medicine is simply not enough to allow him to improve his physical body to this level of cultivation. If he only needs spiritual stones in the future, he can still improve to a certain extent.

Then the runes on his body flashed, and he frowned and said, "This layer of defense seems to have reached its limit. It seems that I should buy a piece of soft armor to wear after I have spiritual stones."

He could feel that although his cultivation and strength had improved, the rune defense had hardly changed.

After feeling it, he slowly stood up and chuckled, "Although the improvement is not too much, but based on the physical strength alone, although the strength is not the top in the middle stage of foundation building, it is pretty good. As long as I don't meet those more senior ones, they should not pose any threat to me."

The so-called senior ones are actually those who have reached the middle stage of foundation building for some time. Not only are their cultivation higher and deeper than his, but some of them already have enough ability to obtain intermediate yellow-level skills and magical powers, not to mention that they have better spiritual treasures in their hands.

His current black sword is just a simple spiritual weapon. It has no runes engraved with powerful magic skills and cannot even be considered a spiritual weapon. If it were not for the support of heavy sword skills, its attack power would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, compared with them, Lu Luan is still a little lacking in this aspect. Apart from the God-Slaying Technique, his means of attack focus on swordsmanship and the Six Evil Hands, but none of these have reached the intermediate yellow level.

Without relying on physical strength, if it were a fight, it would be slightly inferior.

"This place is closer to Tianli City. I should go to Tianli City first to see if there are any independent cultivators forming a team to go to Tianjue Island. After I follow these experienced people to familiarize myself with the situation on the island, I will go there alone." Lu Luan thought to himself.

He didn't know much about Tianjue Island, so he wanted to find some people who went to the island specifically to look for opportunities and team up with them to test the waters.

Otherwise, if he rushed in blindly, it would be very dangerous. The power of the God-Slaying Technique was horrific and it was his trump card, but it also had limitations. That was that it could only destroy the primordial spirit, and it would be of no use to monsters or evil spirits that had no primordial spirit.

After walking out of the secret cave on the island, he flew to Tianli Island.

In the air, looking at the water splashing below that reflected the sunlight, Lu Luan couldn't help but think: "Generally, those who dare to go to Tianjue Island are at least in the foundation building stage. I will just find a few people whose cultivation is not much different from mine."

Those who are too weak will not be able to do this, as they can only stay at the outermost part and have limited knowledge of the dangers on Tianjue Island. Of course, those who are too strong will not be able to do this either, as they will worry about being killed and robbed of their treasures. This kind of thing is not uncommon, and there are even people who specialize in doing this kind of thing.

He was also worried that some powerful foundation-building cultivators might have things in their purple palaces that could resist attacks from their souls.

Although he was not afraid of powerful physical strength, he did not want to encounter such trouble. Moreover, a cultivator with that level of cultivation must have a strong trump card.

It wasn't long before he arrived at Tianli Island.

However, only a few people dare to go to Tianjue Island, so it is not easy to find. But if you have spirit stones, everything will be fine.

……

Two days later.

In a private room of a restaurant.

Lu Luan was sitting alone at the table, seemingly waiting for something.

"come yet?"

Suddenly, his expression moved and he felt something.

Soon, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Lu Luan said.

The door opened and two middle-aged men appeared at the door. One was thin and well-dressed, while the other was burly but unkempt, with an untidy beard and half of his arm and breast exposed.

After entering, Lu Luan stood up to greet him. The thin man introduced him to Lu Luan, "Daoyou, this is Brother Zhao. You two can chat now."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

The middle-aged man who was speaking was Lu Luan. He spent an intermediate spirit stone to ask him to help introduce a casual cultivator who frequently went to Tianjue Island.

Obviously it was the burly middle-aged man.

After saying this, the man smiled, bowed to the two of them, then turned and left.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, please sit down."

Lu Luan smiled, while his eyes were secretly observing him.

"My name is Zhao Kaishan. What's your name?"

The man asked directly after he sat down at the table opposite him.

"Lu Luan," Lu Luan said his name with a smile, and at the same time picked up the small wine jar to pour him wine.

"Please." He extended his hand.

"Fellow Taoist, you're welcome."

The man had a calm expression and spoke lightly. His tone was slightly cold and there was some wariness in his eyes. After glancing at the still turbulent wine in the glass, he still sat upright and did not drink.

"He's in the middle stage of foundation building, and his aura is still a little fluctuating. It seems that he has just broken through not long ago, just like me." Lu Luan thought to himself.

The Zhao Kaishan in front of him did not hide his cultivation level, so he could sense his realm.

In fact, for someone like Zhao Kaishan who often goes on Tianli Island, there is no need to hide his cultivation. He is not a loner, he has his own team and interacts with many people, and everyone knows what he does on weekdays.

Unlike Lu Luan, a lone outsider like him, no one recognizes him wherever he goes.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I already know why you came to see me. You want to go to Tianjue Island to have some experience, right?" Zhao Kaishan said.

"That's right," Lu Luan nodded, "I've been stuck in the early stages of foundation building for a long time. Some time ago, I suddenly felt a glimmer of an opportunity for a breakthrough, so I wanted to go to Tianjue Island to see if I could get some good stuff and find an opportunity to break through."

Naturally, he would not reveal his cultivation level. Now he was showing that he was in the initial stage of foundation building and was about to break through.

"So that's how it is," Zhao Kaishan said lightly, and then said, "There are indeed many good things on Tianjue Island. I got a spiritual herb there half a year ago and then I retreated and broke through. Although there are many opportunities, the dangers are also extremely high. There are strange spirits. I was seriously injured last time and came back half alive. Fellow Daoist Lu needs to think carefully. Now that you have such a high level of cultivation and are still young, you can enjoy life more. If you throw your life there, it will be very worthless."

Lu Luan said resolutely: "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Zhao, but cultivating immortals is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. I am unwilling to stop here."

"Alas, so many people have the same idea, and as a result, they died in the mountains and their bodies were never found." Zhao Kaishan sighed.

Seeing that he didn't seem to agree, Lu Luan said, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, I won't let you take it for nothing. If I sell the treasures for spirit stones, I'll give you 30% of it. How about that?"

Zhao Kaishan shook his head and said, "It's all at the cost of life, there's no need to do this. If Fellow Daoist Lu really plans to go, then come with me. There are four people in our team, and I'm the only one in the middle stage of foundation building. I just bought a formation plate a few days ago, and it's a bit difficult for the three of them to operate it. If you join, you can work together with my other two brothers and my little sister to activate it. This way it will be safer on Tianjue Island."

"Thank you very much, Brother Zhao."

Lu Luan smiled.

Then he stood up and walked out with him.

Soaring into the air, the two flew to the center of the island.

Lu Luanfei was behind, looking at the figure in front, frowning and thinking: "His cultivation seems to be a little weak. I wonder how familiar he is with Tianjue Island? Should we change another team?"

He hesitated.

"Hey, let's go and take a look first."

Zhao Kaishan had just made a breakthrough. Even if he got through Tianjue Island, he would definitely be on the outskirts. He was worried that this would not be of much help to him, and he would get nothing after all the hard work.

In fact, he had asked several team members in the past two days, and they either had no plans to go in the next few months, or they did not need outsiders.

Only Zhao Kaishan barely meets the requirements.

Lu Luan asked: "Fellow Daoist Zhao, where are we going on Tianjue Island?"

Zhao Kaishan turned around and said to him, "This time we are going to a valley on Tianjue Island, deep inside the outer periphery. But don't worry, even if there is danger, we can handle it."

"Have you penetrated the periphery?" Lu Luan nodded secretly, and then asked: "How well does Fellow Daoist Zhao know about the valley?"

"That valley is where I had the adventure, but I feel there should be more good things in the depths, so this time I plan to explore it with other teammates, and I even bought a formation plate to join forces."

"It looks like it's quite an adventure," Lu Luan knew that although Zhao Kaishan looked middle-aged, he was definitely over 60 years old. Although the difficulty of his breakthrough was not as great as his, it was still not small.

"What are the dangers?" he asked again. Although he could buy relevant information with spirit stones, no one who had experienced it personally could understand it clearly. This was also the reason why he delayed in forming a team.

After a while, the two of them arrived in front of a courtyard while chatting.

Zhao Kaishan is in the middle stage of foundation building, which makes him a pretty good master on the island, so the environment where he lives is quite luxurious.

As soon as he landed, Lu Luan felt that there were three more auras in the courtyard, they must be his teammates.

Soon, the three people appeared around.

There were two men and one woman, all of them were quite old, looking to be in their forties, but of course their actual age must be older.

Without exception, there was some degree of wariness in their eyes. After all, Lu Luan was an outsider, a newcomer, and they didn't know him well.

Zhao Kaishan introduced the three people, "This is Fellow Daoist Lu, who has just joined us. He is not very old, but his cultivation is not weaker than yours."

"Lu Luan greets all the fellow Taoists."

Lu Luan bowed to them, indicating that they were acquainted.

The three of them also looked friendly and said to him:

"Friend Lu, my name is Han Yuan."

"Sun Li."

"My name is Wu Yingyu, welcome to join."

The three of them were all in the initial stage of foundation building. Zhao Kaishan had told him so, of course he could see it.

Moreover, there are only these four people in this large courtyard, without even a servant, it is very quiet and elegant.

Zhao Kaishan added: "We will set off in ten days. Everyone should familiarize yourself with the formation first, so as not to lose your life in it."

"Don't worry, boss. I'm very strong."

Sun Li immediately straightened his chest and said.

Zhao Kaishan looked at Lu Luan, "Daoyou Lu, I still need to adjust my cultivation. You should get to know them first."

"Well, Brother Zhao, go get busy first."

Lu Luan nodded. He thought it would be good to communicate with these three people.

After giving a few more instructions, he walked into a room.

"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Lu has reached the peak of the early stage of foundation building at such a young age. I think there will be no problem for you to break through to the middle stage of foundation building, and you may even be able to make further progress in the middle stage."

The man named Han Yuan came over and said with a smile.

"Friend Lu, although Boss Zhao looks dull, he is actually warm-hearted."

Wu Yingyu also said to him.

"Is this your first time in Tianli City, Brother Lu?"

Lu Luan nodded, "Yes, I was wandering around before, but my strength was too weak, so I came to the Hanluo Sea."

"Indeed, although the Hanluo Sea is a little barren, it is still stable. Those of us in the Foundation Establishment stage have a very high status here."

Then they started to get acquainted.

Gradually, although these three people were still wary of him, the sense of unfamiliarity began to fade.

After chatting for a while, we started to get down to business.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this formation is called the Wood Mysterious Formation. The place we are going to is densely vegetated, and this formation has a unique magical effect in it, and can help us avoid some dangers."

Sun Li took out a formation plate and introduced it to him.

"It won't be the same as last time, will it?"

Seeing this scene, a thought suddenly flashed through Lu Luan's mind. It was too familiar. He remembered the last time he trapped and killed Huang Jingyu and the other man, and it seemed to be the same.

Of course, even he was not afraid. The three people in the early stage of foundation building could not trap him even with the formation. What's more, this was on an island. Who would dare to take action?

But he soon realized that he was overthinking and the three men had no other intentions.
