A small casual cultivator!

"The secret place is the Nanling Mountains behind Fengcheng. The spiritual energy there is rich, so many medicinal herbs in the strange peaks and mountains will undergo transformation. It is a rare secret place, but it is filled with strange and poisonous miasma all year round, and there are monsters everywhere. It is dangerous. Usually, almost no cultivators in the city dare to go in."

The old man took off the wine gourd from his waist, took a sip, and continued:

"But every five years, that is, after half a month, the miasma inside will dissipate for a while. So, every time this time comes, there will be many cultivators and some good warriors who will venture in to look for spiritual medicine."

Then the two of them started chatting while eating noodles. After a while, since it was convenient, he followed the old man to the city center.

On the way, Lu Luan asked curiously, "Brother, you have been living in Fengcheng. How do you make a living? I have been wandering around and I think this place is good, so I want to settle down."

The old man patted his storage bag and said, "I usually go to the nearby mountains to look for spiritual herbs. I have been here for more than 30 years without any purpose. Now, I set up a stall to sell spiritual herbs in exchange for some essence pills."

"Set up a street stall?"

Lu Luan became interested.

The old man nodded and said, "Well, only the three immortal cultivation families in the city can purchase spiritual herbs. It's a monopoly. If outsiders go, the price will be very low. So, I usually save the spiritual herbs I find, and when there are more immortal cultivators in the next few days, I will set up a stall in the city to sell them to them."

"I see." Lu Luan smiled and said, "Brother, I also have a few spiritual herbs. Can I set up a stall with you?"

"Of course. There are many cultivators in the city these days, and spiritual herbs are selling well. I don't have many spiritual herbs left anyway, so I'm not afraid of you stealing my business." The old man readily agreed.

"Thank you very much, brother." Lu Luan hurriedly thanked him.

Soon, they arrived at the most prosperous street in the city. Lu Luan looked around and found that most of the people there were cultivators. It seemed that the so-called secret place of Nanling was still very attractive.

"Come on, little brother, I usually set up a stall here."

The old man took him to a relatively spacious path, took out a piece of gray cloth and spread it on the ground while speaking. Seeing that Lu Luan didn't have one, he threw one to him.

"Thank you, bro."

Then he sat on the ground with the old man and started selling spiritual herbs together. Of course, there were other people around who were selling things like them.

……

Time soon came to dusk. Today his business was considered good. He sold eight spiritual herbs and earned more than twenty Essence Pills.

"That's almost it."

As it was getting dark, he prepared to put away the spiritual herbs on his stall.

"Daoyou, how much is this Ganoderma lucidum?"

Just as he lowered his head to clean up, a figure squatted in front of him and pointed at something and asked.

This man looked to be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old. Judging from his aura, although he had only reached the second level of Qi Refining, he was dressed very gorgeously, with his hair tied up and wearing brocade clothes, which was much more exquisite than his.

Lu Luan took a look at it and knew that the buyer really wanted to buy it, so he immediately introduced it with a beaming face, "Fellow Daoist, you have a really good eye. You can tell it's extraordinary at a glance. This Ganoderma lucidum is something I found on a thousand-foot cliff..." Although it is just an ordinary medicinal herb with a little spiritual charm, it does not affect his bragging.

"If you want, how about two Essence Pills?"

"Two Essence Pills?"

The young man's brows suddenly furrowed deeply.

"Yes, it's already very cheap." Lu Luan nodded.

The young man touched his chin and looked at the spiritual herbs with a twinkling gaze. It seemed that he was not the kind of person who would suffer a loss. After thinking for a while, he said, "You have two of these, and three Essence Pills. How about selling them to me together?"

"Three? No, no, please go somewhere else, fellow Taoist."

After hearing the price, Lu Luan's face suddenly darkened and he quickly waved his hand to signal him to leave. It was not like he couldn't sell it anyway.

"Little brother, I only have three Essence Pills on me. Just consider it as making friends and sell it to me. I have been looking for this spiritual herb for a long time."

"No," Lu Luan still refused to give in. Friend? It was just a one-time meeting. Who would know each other after that? Besides, he had run himself into the ground to get this. If he was unlucky, he might not see a single one in half a month.

The two of them continued to bargain with each other, but Lu Luan never gave in.

"Everyone, look."

"Heaven."

Just as the young man was about to say something else, the street suddenly became lively.

"Ok?"

Lu Luan looked up, and the next moment, his eyes froze involuntarily, revealing a rare look of confusion, but he quickly recovered.

I saw three women in white flying on swords above the street. They had an ethereal temperament and graceful figures.

This made many people on the street stare in amazement.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's so beautiful."

A vulgar voice came from beside him. It was the little old man, whose saliva was already flowing in strings.

Looking at the backs of the three people, Lu Luan agreed and said, "She is so beautiful, and really cannot be compared with ordinary women. If I can marry such a beautiful wife in the future, I will wake up happily even when I sleep."

What ambitions could a small casual cultivator have at this moment? His biggest wish now was to marry a beautiful wife after he grew up in a few years. If he became successful, he would marry a few more to continue the Lu family's bloodline and comfort the spirits of his ancestors in heaven.

"Tsk, I won't sleep at all. It would be great to have sex every night. Eh? They seem to be announcing something? Hey, let's go and take a look. I haven't seen enough of those smooth feet just now."

The old man looked unsatisfied, and when he saw those figures quietly stopping not far away, he spoke with a sly look, but his voice was very small, and he seemed to lack confidence.

Lu Luan nodded slightly. After all, these people of extraordinary status would not come to this place for no reason. He was curious about the reason.

Of course, they also wanted to take a few more looks, so they smiled at each other, and it was a coincidence that they put the stall into the storage bag in a few seconds.

Everyone loves beauty, let alone such an extraordinary woman. Who wouldn't want to take a few more glances at her?

After packing their things, they followed the crowd and went forward.

As for the one who was bargaining with him just now, he had already run over.

……

In a large square, three veiled women stood in the air, like blooming lotuses, and said to the crowd: "Dear Taoist friends, we are disciples of Zhengyang Sect. We came to Fengcheng today to do some work. Since this is our first time here and we are not familiar with the place, we would like to select a few people to serve us..."

“It’s actually someone from Zhengyang Sect!”

"So he is a disciple of the Immortal Sect. No wonder he looks so celestial." Everyone was shocked.

Zhengyang Sect is a sect of immortal cultivators thousands of miles away from Fengcheng. It has a huge influence. According to legend, there are even powerful people in the Jindan realm! Intimidate others!

"Strange, those immortal sect disciples came here, could it be that they also want to enter Nanling?"

Not far away, Lu Luan was very puzzled. If this was true, how could any casual cultivator dare to compete with them? Although they were only about sixteen or seventeen years old, their cultivation level was at least above the sixth level of Qi Refining.

The old man at the side shook his head. "It's unlikely. The spiritual energy in the Immortal Gate is very rich. The spiritual herbs grown in the Nanling Mountains are everywhere in it, like weeds. To them, this is just a small place in a remote and poor place. There is nothing special about it."

"why?"

At this time, another woman said loudly: "If the selected person performs well, he or she may even have the opportunity to become a servant disciple of our Zhengyang Sect."

"You can also become a disciple of the Immortal Sect!"

Hearing this, Lu Luan's heart was shaken violently.

How could a casual cultivator like him not want to join the immortal sect? When his master was still around, he would often whisper in his ear that being a casual cultivator would not amount to anything, as he would be like a wandering ghost, drifting aimlessly. Only if he could enter those immortal sects would he be considered truly promising.

"Fairy, I can be of service."

"I can too."

The crowd immediately became excited and gathered together.

"Okay, just the rest of you."

Before Lu Luan could get closer, the person had already been chosen, so he had to retreat dejectedly.

The three women didn't say anything else and left with the people they had chosen.

The rest of the crowd also dispersed in great disappointment, secretly cursing themselves for not squeezing closer.

"Do you want to enter the immortal gate?" the old man joked.

Lu Luan rolled his eyes at him and said, "It would be best if you could join the Immortal Sect. Don't you want to?"

The old man said indifferently: "I don't want to, the immortal sect has many rules, it's better to be a free cultivator and do whatever you want."

Lu Luan shook his head and said, "Brother, it's getting late today. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to the old man, he wanted to find an inn to have a good rest.

On the way, I recalled those people from the Immortal Sect and couldn't help but ponder:

"I heard from Master that the disciples of the Immortal Sect eat spiritual medicine as food, and even use spiritual medicine worth dozens or even hundreds of Essence Pills to take a bath. I wonder if it is true? But the skin of those three Immortal Sect women is so white, tender and smooth, just like jade, so I think it must be true."

"Well, no matter how beautiful she is, it's none of my business. Just make a living honestly. I hope I can gain a lot in Nanling this time," Lu Luan touched the wrinkled storage bag on his body and thought no more.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way."

When he just walked to the corner of a sparsely populated alley, he suddenly heard a violent voice, so he looked quickly, only to find a dark shadow already in front of him.

This is a young man riding a demon tiger!

"not good!"

Lu Luan only felt a strong chill in his heart, and the little guy began to warn, but the demon tiger moved silently and at an incredibly fast speed. Before he could react to dodge, he felt a powerful force hitting him.
