A small casual cultivator!

Looking at the small figure's mysterious footsteps, Lu Luan exclaimed in surprise: "Secret technique!"

He discovered that the reason why Lin Xi was able to dodge the demon tiger's attack was all because of the secret technique.

Lu Luan was shocked that even menial disciples were qualified to learn the secret arts.

"Go save her. Even though I can't deal with this demon tiger, I can still deal with it," he muttered, and then ran forward.

After all, he had honed his skills by killing countless monsters underground, so he had gained a lot of experience in dealing with demonic beasts.

"Why did I meet this guy again?"

Lin Xi said with a grim expression while running. During the escape, the spiritual herbs in her backpack had been scattered all over the ground.

Looking at the sky, she looked unhappy and said, "Damn it, it's the patrolling disciples' shift change during this period. I have to shout louder so that the brothers and sisters nearby can hear me."

……

"Roar!"

As she was running, she suddenly stopped and looked at the tiger that had reappeared in front of her. She said blankly, "It's over!"

She didn't expect that there were two tiger monsters in this place. Now she was caught in a pincer attack and had no way to escape.

"not good."

Lu Luan's face changed and he immediately quickened his pace after seeing this scene.

"what……"

After dodging for a while, Lin Xi suddenly screamed. It turned out that her backpack was hit away by the tiger's claw, and she rolled out.

This time, she was trapped in a corner. Watching the ferocious and bloody monster tiger approaching step by step, she gritted her teeth, and a long sword suddenly appeared in her hand. She said, "I will fight you."

Suddenly, a fiery red sword light appeared, scaring the two tiger monsters.

"It's saved."

Lin Xi was delighted.

"Ah..." But the next moment, she suddenly screamed and her whole body immediately flew into the air.

It turned out that Lu Luan appeared on a huge rock behind her at some point, shot out golden silk and pulled her up.

"It is you."

After seeing Lu Luan, Lin Xi smiled in surprise.

However, Lu Luan did not reply to her. Instead, he held the Lihuo Sword and looked down with a serious expression.

After all, these two tiger monsters are very powerful and he can't deal with them.

Fortunately, the rock was big enough that they couldn't climb up, and they could only roar angrily below.

Seeing this, Lu Luan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Lin Xi still looking shocked, Lu Luan asked, "How did you provoke this tiger monster?"

He could see that the two tiger monsters looked at Lin Xi with hatred in their eyes.

"I just stole a magical medicine from it. That magical medicine is enough for me to work for five days," Lin Xi rubbed his little head and answered truthfully.

"Don't you want to live?" Lu Luan was a little angry.

"Why are you so fierce?" Lin Xi seemed a little aggrieved. After muttering to himself, he took out a piece of jade from his body, stuck out his tongue and said.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Look, this is a piece of jade for protection. The sect gave it to us to prevent us from being killed by monsters. Those two tiger monsters can't be broken, but the price is too high."

"So that's how it is. Immortal sect disciples are indeed different," Lu Luan felt a little better. He looked at the jade piece with envy from the bottom of his heart.

This thing could be sold at a sky-high price of several hundred Essence Pills outside.

After glaring at him, Lin Xi looked down and asked in confusion:

"Strange, there is usually only one tiger demon on this hill, but why are there two today? I almost got killed."

Then she looked at him in amazement, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful. I thought you were at the third level of Qi Refining."

Lu Luan put away the Lihuo Sword and was about to say something, but his face suddenly changed and he started coughing, coughing up blood again.

I was using the Lihuo Sword just now and accidentally injured myself.

Lu Luan covered his chest with his hands, and said to himself with an unpleasant expression: "I didn't expect it to be so unbearable. The slightest attack has reached my limit."

"what happened to you?"

Lin Xi immediately came over with concern.

Lu Luan took a deep breath and said in a relaxed tone, "It's okay. I just got a little injured in the Monster Mountain Range. It's nothing serious. I'll be fine after a rest."

Lin Xi frowned and looked at his face. After thinking for a while, he took out a crystal clear ice-colored Ganoderma lucidum from his arms, handed it to him, and said, "This is Ice Jade Ganoderma lucidum, which I just snatched from the tiger monster. It has a miraculous effect on injuries. You should take it quickly."

Seeing this magical medicine, Lu Luan's eyes suddenly lit up. This was indeed what he urgently needed, so he did not pretend to refuse. He took it and said with a smile: "Thank you, fairy."

Lin Xi quickly said, "I'm not very pretty, so don't call me fairy. Um...my friends all call me Xiao Xi, so just call me Xiao Xi. Fairy sounds very uncomfortable."

"Xiao...Xiao Xi?"

Lu Luan felt inexplicably nervous. After all, it was the first time he called a girl like that.

He didn't say much afterwards. After swallowing the Ganoderma lucidum, he sat cross-legged and began to practice.

This spiritual medicine is unusual, and he conservatively estimated that it is worth hundreds of Essence Pills.

Lin Xi did not disturb him, but stayed quietly by the side. When she saw the backpack on the ground below, she raised her fist and said with gritted teeth, "You two damn bastards, you have worked in vain these days. I will make you pay after I break through the realm."

This angry expression looks particularly cute.

The two tiger demons didn't seem to want to let them go easily, so they kept wandering below, unwilling to leave.

Just like that, the night passed.

"call……"

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone, Lu Luan exhaled a long breath, opened his eyes, and said with some surprise: "This elixir is really good. Not only has my injury recovered a little, but even the fire poison seems to have been alleviated a bit."

"what?"

Next, he turned around and found that Lin Xi was also sitting cross-legged and practicing, but what surprised him was that around Lin Xi's body, he could faintly see a three-foot-long virtual carp swimming.

"What kind of martial art is this?" Lu Luan was puzzled, but judging from the amount of spiritual energy it absorbed and exhaled, it was much stronger than his old hoe technique.

As if sensing his gaze, Lin Xi slowly opened his eyes and stopped practicing. The virtual carp also returned to his body. Seeing Lu Luan looking at him strangely, he asked in confusion, "Is there something on my face?"

Lu Luan shook his head. "I just saw that you had strange phenomena when you were practicing. I have never seen anyone practicing like this before. It feels very strange. Is it because of the technique?"

It was the first time he heard of animal shadows around someone when they were practicing.

Lin Xi smiled strangely, "This is my secret."

"Okay." Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lu Luan didn't ask. However, when he saw the tiger demon below that had not left yet, he frowned and asked, "Why haven't they left yet?"

Lin Xi said helplessly: "You ate their treasures, how could you let us go so easily?"

"Really?" Seeing the two tiger monsters staring at him hungrily, Lu Luan's mind moved and he released all his aura.

At the same time, he took out the Lihuo Sword, the runes on the sword flashed, and murderous intent filled his eyes!

He wanted these two guys to give up, after all, he didn't have time to waste here.

"Roar."

Sure enough, after sensing his breath, the two demon tigers showed fear in their eyes, and then they growled in a low voice, and soon turned around and left unwillingly.

After seeing the demon tiger leave, Lin Xi also walked over to the side. However, she saw that the long sword in Lu Luan's hand was already full of cracks, so she asked in confusion: "Why are you using a broken sword?"

Lu Luan put away his sword and did not show off in front of her that these were traces left by killing monsters. Instead, he said, "I was a casual cultivator before and was relatively poor. I could only buy this second-hand magic weapon for self-defense."

“No way. Tell me, are these left over from your frequent fights? The murderous aura you exuded just now is even stronger than that of some of your fellow brothers in the sect,” Lin Xi was obviously not that easy to fool.

Lu Luan didn't explain, but bowed and said, "Xiao Xi, I will report to the sect first. See you later."

"Hey, don't leave yet. Your situation is rather special. I suggest that you find a disciple to inquire after crossing Xuanting Lake and go to the Menial Services Hall first." Lin Xi suggested.

"Okay." After nodding, he jumped off the stone and disappeared in a moment.

After Lin Xi saw him leave, he also jumped down, picked up the backpack, and muttered bitterly: "It seems that I may not be able to complete the task this month. Sigh, what should I do?"
