A small casual cultivator!

After returning to his cave, he saw that the grass was still green, so he watered it and said:

"Xiaocao, Xiaocao, you really can bring hope to people. The fairy appeared in the magma lake today, which means there may be an abyss leading to the outside nearby. Now I just need to wait until I break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, and then I can go out to look for it."

After pouring the water, he saw that there was still some water left at the bottom of the pot, so he poured it into his mouth.

Then he muttered to himself, "With the little bugs and the flaming mushrooms, within ten years... no... if I fight those monsters more often and temper myself in battle, I might be able to reach the sixth level of Qi Refining within five years!"

"Five years. I can endure five years!"

Lu Luan's eyes became extremely determined.

He didn't want to live down here like an ant for the rest of his life.

After making up his mind, he decided to start looking for magma creatures outside the sign every day to temper himself.

……

And just like that, a month passed.

"die!"

The long sword fell, and a monster's head and body were separated. Blood splattered three feet, and it fell to the ground dead.

"Huh...huh..."

Lu Luan sat on the rock, gasping for breath. He used the golden silk to pick a flame mushroom from a high place, held it in his hand and began to recover.

After coming underground, he changed a lot, becoming more mature and tougher.

The biggest change is that the boy who used to turn around and run away when he saw the monster now dares to fight the terrifying monster head-on.

Sure enough, life will change people into another person.

After a while, his Qi recovered. Looking at his palms, Lu Luan frowned and said to himself, "It seems that my body has adapted to this Qi. After a long time, the stimulating effect on the realm has weakened."

He discovered that the essence in the flame mushroom seemed to have turned into ordinary spiritual energy, and the feeling of realm enhancement was getting weaker and weaker.

"Let it be, it's time to go back."

Lu Luan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He ignored it, kicked the corpse into the lava and hurried back.

Although his realm did not improve much during this month, his combat skills and physical strength had improved significantly.

Especially his physical strength. If he was weak as a kitten before, now he can be said to be as strong as an ox.

When you concentrate on meditation, the true qi has a very good effect on strengthening the body, not to mention fighting these monsters all day long.

Of course, this is only effective in the early stages. As time goes on, the effect will slow down. After all, how can you make rapid progress without suffering some physical pain during physical training?

“Brother Lu…Brother Lu…”

After dinner, when he was about to go back to the cave to practice, Zhao Hai ran over and called him, but his eyes were a little nervous.

"what happened?"

Seeing that his expression was not right, Lu Luan frowned. Could it be that Blood Tiger was starting to cause trouble again?

Zhao Hai lowered his head, his hands constantly grasping the corners of his clothes, his eyes struggling, as if he had made up his mind, and said: "Come with me, I will tell you a big secret."

"The big secret?"

Lu Luan became curious and followed.

The two of them came to a place with few people. Zhao Hai looked around cautiously, and finally leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I went to a place today and accidentally stepped on a stone. Under it, I saw a red stone. I touched it with my hand, and it was like magma, very hot. It should be a strange stone, but I can't pick it out."

"Strange stone!"

Lu Luan's eyes immediately flashed with brilliance, and he confirmed, "Zhao Hai, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

Terumi nodded, made a fist-sized circle with his hand, and said, "You're not mistaken. The exposed part should be this big."

"Thank you so much, Terumi!"

Lu Luan was overjoyed, his eyes filled with excitement.

Zhao Hai said again: "Brother Lu, wait for me here tomorrow, I will take you there quietly."

"Okay," Lu Luan nodded. Seeing that he had lost a lot of weight and looked haggard, Lu Luan frowned and asked, "Zhao Hai, are you sick? Why do you look so much thinner?"

Zhao Hai's eyes were in a panic as he explained, "Some time ago I found a newly grown mushroom and tried a small bite. I didn't expect it to be so fire-toxic. I've had diarrhea for many days now."

"I told you not to eat anything you want," Lu Luan shook his head and smiled. Zhao Hai ate little, so it just affected his stomach and intestines. It would be fine in a few days, so he didn't care.

"Then Brother Lu, you should rest early. I'm going back to the cave first."

"Ah."

After saying the last sentence, Terumi turned and ran back into the cave.

Lu Luan thought excitedly:

"The hot stone must contain rich fire energy, which can enhance the power of the Fire Sword."

He couldn't help but start looking forward to it. If the quality of the Lihuo Sword could be improved, his strength would be greatly enhanced.

After calming himself down, he returned to his cave.

……

To Lu Luan, today's six hours seemed quite long.

"clang……"

"It's time to go out."

When he heard the bell ringing, he opened his eyes and walked out impatiently.

However, he found that Terumi had not come out yet, so he waited quietly outside.

"Ok?"

After a while, he saw the blood tiger passing by looking at him with a strange look in his eyes, so he frowned and thought, "Is this guy playing some tricks again?"

Only after everyone had left did Terumi come out of the cave.

Seeing his big black eyes, Lu Luan joked, "Why, didn't you get enough rest last night?"

Terumi didn't reply to him, but stood not far away with his head lowered.

Lu Luan frowned, stepped forward and asked, "Zhao Hai, why are you not in a good state today?"

Zhao Hai didn't look up at him, but whispered: "Brother Lu, I have a stomachache today, how about we go another day?"

Seeing him like this, Lu Luan asked, "Zhao Hai, you are not lying to me, are you?"

Zhao Hai immediately shook his head and said, "My stomach really hurts. That place is a bit far. I'm afraid that I will walk too slowly and delay my daily tasks."

"I'm asking about the strange stone, not your stomach. Come on, I'll pick a few for you today." Lu Luan was anxious to increase the power of the Lihuo Sword and couldn't wait any longer.

"Ok."

At Lu Luan's request, the two finally set off.

"Brother Lu, that stone should be very big. It would be great if it is a strange stone."

"Really."

Lu Luan also gradually became excited.

After walking in the complex underground passage for half an hour, the two finally arrived at a cave.

"Brother Lu, the strange stone is inside."

Terumi said, pointing inside.

"Lead the way!" Lu Luan urged.

Then the two of them walked inside.

While walking, Lu Luan looked around. At first it was clearly a cave, but as he walked, it turned into a huge crack.

Seeing many monsters in the flowing magma, Lu Luan frowned and said, "Strange, there seem to be quite a few monsters here, and there aren't many flame mushrooms growing."

After walking for a while.

"Gu... gu..."

Zhao Hai's stomach began to ache. He looked at Lu Luan and pleaded, "Brother Lu, my stomach is starting to hurt about 20 feet ahead. I can't bear it any longer. I need to go to the bathroom first."

"Go ahead, walk away and don't stink me."

Lu Luan shook his head and smiled, then began to walk forward.

"Ok?"

"Why didn't the little bug react?"

After walking within a certain range, Lu Luan looked at his palm in confusion and said with some regret: "Could it be that what Zhao Hai said was just an ordinary stone?"

"Never mind, let's go check it out."

Shaking his head, he continued walking forward.

"No?"

However, after walking about thirty feet, he still did not see what Zhaohai said on the surrounding stone walls.

He looked behind him and asked loudly, "Zhao Hai, are you done?"

But no voice responded to him.

"Oh no, is there something wrong?"

Lu Luan's face changed and he was about to go out to check.

But at this time, dozens of ceramic bottles were thrown down from above.

Lu Luan thought it was a stone and quickly dodged.

Easy.

"what?"

“These are true qi!”

While he was still wondering who threw the things, he suddenly realized that after the bottles were broken, there was actually true energy floating out, so his face changed.

In an instant, he understood what was going on.

He clenched his fists and whispered in astonishment: "Zhao Hai, why did you do this? ! ! "

There is magma at both ends of this crack. As soon as such rich true energy appeared, the creatures inside smelled the scent and rushed here like wolves and tigers.

"Hahaha, kid, you didn't expect that."

At this moment, a loud laugh came from above.

Lu Luan looked and found that it was actually a blood tiger!

Understood, he understood everything!

"So it was you who was behind this." Lu Luan's eyes emanated an infinite chill.

His heart was extremely cold now. He couldn't understand why he was so good to Xiang Hai and treated him as a brother, but he wanted to join forces with Xue Hu to harm him!

"Boy, this is a great gift I carefully prepared for you. If you offend me, I will make sure you die miserably. Just enjoy the feeling of being torn apart by the monster."

Seeing that many monsters had already rushed over, he turned around and said to his gang of brothers: "Lu Luan is dead, let's celebrate with a drink tonight."

"well……"

Everyone cheered, and then he came to Zhao Hai, who was bowing his head and saying nothing, touched his head, and said with a strange smile: "You did a good job. Don't worry, we won't bully you anymore in the future."

"Thank you, Boss Xuehu." Zhao Hai quickly saluted and said.

"Huh? Why didn't I hear that kid's screams?"

After a while, Blood Tiger looked back with some confusion, but there were only monsters sniffing around in the crack, so where was Lu Luan?

So he said in confusion: "No way, he finished eating so quickly? This shouldn't be the case. You can always see some blood."

"What? Are you looking at me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a ruthless, cold voice came from the side.

"what?"

Everyone's body suddenly trembled. It was quiet, strangely quiet, unbelievable.

Lu Luan slowly walked out of the darkness, holding the Lihuo Sword in his hand, his eyes full of murderous intent, naked murderous intent.

"you……"

Everyone acted as if they had seen a ghost.

"Good boy, how did you get up here?" Xuehu said in disbelief.

"Pfft... pfft..."

However, the only response he heard was the sound of blood gushing out. Before Lu Luan got close, four heads shot up into the sky.

"what?"

The eyes of those who were still alive, including Blood Tiger, popped out.

"you you……"
