A small casual cultivator!

"Hey, there's a newcomer."

“There are actually a few women.”

As soon as they walked in, they came out from the honeycomb-like caves, staring at the several female monks who came with them with greedy eyes and ill intentions.

Lu Luan followed slowly behind, looking at the people around him, and thought to himself: "Their cultivation is at the low level of Qi Refining, but why are they so violent?"

However, after looking at the surrounding environment, he knew what was going on. Anyone would collapse if they stayed in such a place for a long time.

"There's also a young boy. He was captured at such a young age?"

"Huh? He's still at the third level of Qi Refining. He has good talent, but it's a pity that after entering this place, no matter how good his talent is, it's useless."

Some people set their sights on Lu Luan. After all, he was much more eye-catching than others.

"Strange, why is there no spiritual energy underground?"

After adapting to the hot temperature, Lu Luan realized the difference here. He could not even feel the presence of spiritual energy.

This is not barrenness, this is nothing at all!

"But if they don't have spiritual energy, how do they maintain their realm?" When he saw those people with strong auras, he was puzzled.

Then someone brought them to a huge stone pillar and said, "I will tell you about your mission. There is no day or night in here. You can only hear the sound of bells. The first bell is the safe period, which is about eight hours. We will give you special storage bags. In order to prevent your harvest from being stolen, you can only take in and not take out."

"Listen carefully. Each of you needs to go out and pick ten flaming mushrooms every day to exchange for the necessary food and water. There is no spiritual energy in them. If you pick a lot, you can use it to exchange for spiritual energy pills to maintain your cultivation. Of course, you can also exchange it for some wine or something."

"Spiritual Energy Pill, no wonder." Lu Luan understood.

The man paused and continued, "When the second bell rings, it is the dangerous period, which lasts about four hours. During this time, the creatures in the magma will come out and move around. They are very sensitive to true qi, so come back quickly after the bell rings. If you encounter them, you must tighten your true qi..."

"Creatures in the magma."

Lu Luan looked at the slowly flowing magma not far away and was very surprised. What kind of creature could survive in such a scorching environment?

"That's all. Just behave yourself and work hard. Then it's possible that the higher-ups will show mercy and let you go."

Then the man gave a few more warnings and turned away.

Everyone was also taken to other places to find the cave where they would live in the future.

"Haha, little lady."

After seeing the people in charge leave, the group of men walked towards the female monks with strange smiles.

"You want to die, right?"

Those women were not to be trifled with either. There was a chill in their eyes that made people afraid to act rashly. They were all at the third level of Qi Refining and could protect themselves. After all, who would be weak when killing people in the city?

After a while, Lu Luan stood in front of an empty cave.

The entrance of the cave is only one foot wide and two feet high. It is very narrow and seems to be defending something.

"these are?"

At the same time, he also saw many deep claw marks at the entrance of the cave. His brows gradually became solemn. He knew without thinking that these were left by the so-called magma creatures.

This is probably why the entrance to the cave is so small.

"They come, the security."

After shaking his head, he was ready to bend down and get in.

"Ok?"

But then he discovered that there was a young man about his age next door, who was occasionally poking his head out of the cave and looking at him carefully.

So he didn't rush in, but turned and walked towards the young man. After all, they were of similar age and there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity. At the same time, he also wanted to find someone to understand the situation underground.

When the young man saw him coming, he immediately retracted his head timidly.

Lu Luan stood outside and asked softly, "Friend, can I come in?"

After a moment of silence, the door slowly opened.

"What are you going to do?" the boy asked weakly.

Lu Luan explained his purpose.

The young man hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

After entering, he found that there were actually two floors inside. This must be a place to hide in case monsters rushed in.

The first floor was actually only three feet high, enough for a person to climb over quickly. Lu Luan found the entrance to the second floor in the corner, which was a small gap just big enough for the body to pass through.

After entering the second floor, he saw many fist-sized holes on the ground. This should be convenient for attacking from above. Although there was some space for movement, it was not very large and was much smaller than the sanctuary in the city.

The young man was crouching in the corner with his knees hugged. There were some glowing stones on the surrounding stone walls, so even though it was dark inside, he could still see clearly.

Lu Luan did not approach him, but squatted opposite him and said, "My name is Lu Luan, what's your name?"

The young man looked away, feeling somewhat uneasy and nervous. After a while, he replied softly, "My name is Zhao Hai."

"Zhao Hai?" Lu Luan frowned slightly. He felt that the name was strange. Looking at his timid expression, he asked in confusion, "How did you get in?"

He is not the type of person who would commit a crime, and he is only at the second level of Qi Refining.

Zhao Hai was silent for a while, then said, "I was captured and they threatened me that if I didn't come, they would kill my father and little sister."

Lu Luan understood that Zhao Hai was most likely taking the blame for a young master in the city, and after being imprisoned, he was driven to this underground to do hard labor just like him.

"Zhao Hai, can you tell me about the situation in this underground world?" Lu Luan asked.

Zhao Hai glanced at him secretly for a few times, then lowered his head and whispered, "This underground world is huge, and it all belongs to the City Lord's Mansion. It is probably located a thousand feet below Taiyuan City, and there is underground magma everywhere. Usually, they send those who commit crimes in the city down to do hard labor."

“We are just a small subdivision.”

"So big?"

Lu Luan's eyes were filled with shock, and his mind suddenly became active. He said, "Since it's so big, there must be a cave leading to the outside, right?" He didn't want to stay in here forever.

Zhao Hai shook his head. "No, the few exits are controlled by the City Lord's Mansion. Besides, they only escort people below the sixth level of Qi Refining in."

"Why?" Lu Luan was a little puzzled. Wouldn't people with higher cultivation be able to pick more flame mushrooms?

"It's like this. Due to the special environment underground, those below the sixth level of Qi Refining cannot fly."

"That's it."

It’s so deep underground, if you can’t fly, there’s no way to get out.

Lu Luan asked again: "What is the current situation of our small division? How strong is the strongest person?"

"We now have two bosses. We call them Black Panther and Blood Tiger. Both of them are at the fourth level of Qi Refining. You'd better not offend them." Zhao Hai said.

"The fourth level of Qi Refining." Lu Luan felt a little relieved. Although he couldn't beat someone at the fourth level of Qi Refining now, the other party would have to work very hard to defeat him.

Then he chatted a lot with Zhao Hai, and the two gradually became familiar with each other.

After a while, I got a general idea, chatted for a while, and then left.

After arriving at his own cave, he sat on the hard ground, staring at the stone wall for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Although I don't know if I can return to the ground, no matter what, I survived."

He looked down at his palm and thought, "The Flame Mushroom should be a magical medicine. With the help of the little bugs, there should be no problem with the daily tasks."

He took his hand back and looked outside through the small window, thinking: "It should be safe now. Although I haven't seen those magma creatures, I still have to be prepared. As long as I'm alive, I have a chance to get out."

After taking a deep breath of the hot air, he suppressed all his thoughts, and with a thought, the golden silk appeared.

However, the golden silk had become dim due to damage.

Lu Luan looked at the two pieces, feeling heartbroken, and whispered, "Looks like I have to refine it again."

Then he placed the two pieces of golden silk in front of him. With a thought, the runes on the short half began to flash and flew out.

The part without the rune attached immediately returned to its original shape, covered with tiny cracks, and was completely useless.

"enter."

Then he shouted softly again, and all the runes that came out drilled into the other half of the golden silk and began to rearrange themselves.

Then he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, using his true energy to nourish his rhythm.

……

"Dong dong dong."

But not long after, someone knocked gently outside his window.

In fact, the so-called windows are just thumb-sized gaps pried open in the stone wall.

"Newcomer, come out quickly, we will introduce the rules to you."

There was a stealthy voice outside.

Lu Luan frowned, put away the golden silk and walked out.

When he came outside, he saw a thin young man standing outside, but his hair was very messy. He was at the third level of Qi Refining and about 20 years old. He bowed and asked, "Fellow Daoist, what rules do you want to introduce?"

"follow me."

The man smiled crookedly and took him to the edge of molten lava.

When he got there, he actually saw a shirtless strong man fishing near the lava, and on his left and right sides, there were two women lying on each side.

Seeing that the fishing gear was not ordinary, Lu Luan showed a strange expression and thought: "This guy should be the Blood Tiger. With so many girls on his left and right, it seems that he is living a carefree life down here."

In fact, the management here is very loose. After all, they are in charge of food and elixirs, so they are not afraid of you not behaving honestly, as long as you can complete your daily tasks.

"Boss, we've brought the people here." The man who led the way came up to the sturdy man, bent over and laughed.

Lu Luan bowed and asked, "Daoyou, I wonder why you called me here?"

After hearing the voice, the sturdy man lazily turned his head and glanced at him, "Do you know who I am?"

Lu Luan replied: "They call you Blood Tiger."

"Blood Tiger? Is that something you can call it?"

Xuehu's face darkened, and then he waved the fishing rod in his hand, and the red-hot fish hook attacked him.

It seems that he wants to give a warning.

Lu Luan also reacted quickly, jumping back to avoid it, then stopped at a distance and asked with a gloomy face, "Daoyou, what does this mean?"

"Not bad at all."

Xuehu was a little surprised. He handed the fishing rod to the beauty beside him and stood up.

This huge body is more than three times larger than Lu Luan!

"You're new here, how dare you bump into Brother Xuehu? Why don't you kneel down quickly? Otherwise, you'll be in trouble."

The man who brought him here hurriedly urged loudly.

However, Lu Luan ignored him, his brows furrowed, "With such a strong Qi and blood, he must have great brute force."

Xuehu stood in front of him, shook his fist, and looked down at him, "Kid, you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Then let me tell you the rules here."
