A small casual cultivator!

Looking at the jade leaf in his hand, he felt heavy in his heart.

After putting it away, he whispered to himself, "It seems that I can no longer act according to my own ideas. If I hadn't gotten the help of the elders, I would have been waiting to die."

Thinking back on it now, he still felt a chill in his heart. If he hadn't gone to inquire, his body would still be warm a month later.

This was a lesson for him. Cultivation is not something that can be done in a trivial way. When one does not have much knowledge, one should tread carefully at every step and not act recklessly.

"By the way, that Immortal Deer Elder seems to know what kind of spiritual insect this little guy is." While walking, he glanced at the palm of his hand. He recalled what the elder said and from the tone of his voice, he should know him.

But he was just a little surprised. This medicine insect was a good thing for him, but for an elder in the foundation-building stage, it might just be an ordinary spirit insect.

"After I break through the realm and become an outer disciple, I will be qualified to enter the Divine Power Pavilion and go take a look at this little fellow. What is his name? He hasn't grown in all these years, and his abilities haven't improved much. Is it possible that my feeding method is wrong?"

Lu Luan muttered to himself that the medicine insect grew too slowly. After eating so many flame mushrooms underground, the range of its sensing spiritual herbs had only expanded to about twenty feet.

He is now at the peak of the fourth level of Qi training and can sense the spiritual herbs within thirty to five feet.

In order to avoid being disturbed by the noise of the errand disciples returning to their residence, Lu Luan did not go back. Instead, he found a secluded place in the fairy mountain in the lake and sat down. After sitting cross-legged on a moss-covered stone, he said:

"Let's recover our energy this month and save our lives first."

Then he stretched his body slightly, held the jade leaf between his palms, and began to practice the Old Chu Skill, absorbing the pure essence from it.

One could clearly see a trace of green air emanating from the leaves, entering his palms, entering his flesh, and then flowing through his body with the blood.

His lungs were like a hungry baby that had been crying for food for a long time. After feeling the life essence in the blood, it began to suck it greedily.

Lu Luan felt that every organ in his body was emitting waves of joy, and he was like a sapling in spring, beginning to sprout new branches and green buds, and flourishing.

And so five days passed.

In the early morning, Lu Luan opened his eyes, his gaze was unusually bright.

After taking a long breath, he frowned and said to himself, "Can't swallow it anymore?"

He felt that his internal organs had reached a saturated state, and the rest needed to be slowly digested and absorbed. After all, restoring energy was not as simple as eating and drinking. It had to be integrated slowly and not rushed.

"In that case, let's go find Xiao He to practice the magic of walking first."

After saying this silently, he put Yuye close to his body and stood up and walked towards Xuanting Lake.

In this spare time, you can still do other things.

Of course, his internal organs were still unstable at this time, so he would not rashly use his true Qi again. Instead, he would first learn and understand the crane's footwork.

If you master the movements, and your energy is restored, you will be able to practice the art of speed faster.

They all had magical herbs on them, so crossing the lake was not a problem.

"what?"

Just as he was walking on the mossy path in the mountains, he suddenly saw an old man who looked to be in his seventies walking out from the shade of trees below.

Two long strands of hair fluttered behind her ears, a rosewood hairpin was worn on her head, and she was wearing a gray robe, which was very simple and plain.

But he seemed to be thinking about something, and his eyes were a little wandering.

Lu Luan slowly slowed down his pace, and when he was two feet away from the old man, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Elder."

Those who are still able to walk around in the sect at this age are naturally elders.

After hearing the voice, the old man woke up from his thoughts, looked at Lu Luan, nodded gently, and said: "No need to say more..."

However, after seeing his facial expression clearly, his face was determined and he couldn't say anything else.

Lu Luan didn't know why, but after noticing that the old man's eyes were not right, he looked around himself again to see if there was anything eye-catching.

I didn’t find anything.

After a while, the old man's complexion recovered, his eyes became more vicissitudes, and he asked: "What's your name? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Lu Luan replied, "Elder, my name is Lu Luan. I just joined the Immortal Sect recently and am still a menial disciple."

"Lu Luan?" The old man whispered his name, with a hint of sadness and longing in the depths of his eyes.

"Elder, you..."

Lu Luan was puzzled as to why the old man looked so strange when he saw him.

After a while, the old man recovered as before, waved his hand and said calmly: "You go."

"Yes."

After Lu Luan bowed, he turned and left.

The old man stood there until he saw his back disappear at the end of the path.

On the way, Lu Luan scratched his head and thought in confusion: "What happened to that elder just now? He looked at me with a strange look. Could it be that he also saw that I was poisoned by fire and thought that I was practicing evil skills?"

He guessed in his mind.

But he didn't care too much about it, since he was innocent anyway.

……

Just like that, quarter of an hour later.

Lu Luan came to the other side of the lake, the place where he crossed the lake for the first time.

Although it was not very early, the crane was still lying in the reeds and sleeping.

Seeing this, Lu Luan shook his head and kicked him.

After being kicked awake by Lu Luan, the crane immediately yelled and cursed: "Who is it? How dare you kick Master He's butt?"

"it's me."

Lu Luan stood behind it and spoke softly.

After hearing the voice, Xianhe suddenly became alert and jumped up immediately, saying in surprise: "Boss Lu, it's you, Duhu?"

Lu Luan looked at it speechlessly and said, "Fuck you, come with me and go for a run."

"Okay, I haven't seen you come to see me these few days, and I thought you changed your mind. Let's go, let's run." Xiao He was very happy to hear that they were not crossing the lake, and he couldn't wait to urge.

"Boss Lu, why don't we find a place with fewer cranes? If other cranes see me running, I..."

On the way, the crane seemed to have something to hide.

Lu Luan nodded and said, "Okay."

After all, there are disciples coming and going by the lake, and he doesn't want to practice the art of speed in front of so many people.

"What about the reward?" The little crane asked the question that concerned it most.

Lu Luan patted its wings and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as you fully cooperate with me, the spiritual herbs will definitely be more than what you can carry your disciples across the lake in one day."

"Okay, I promise you'll be satisfied."

Xiao He's voice was full of joy.

In fact, given its service attitude, it is not uncommon for the bus to not ferry anyone across the entire day.

"That's it."

Half a quarter of an hour later, the two came to a flat ravine by the lake.

"Boss Lu, watch out."

Then the two began to work.

Just like this, the man and the crane discussed and talked with each other in the mountains.

The art of speed is a low-level secret art. Most people can get started with a few days of practice, and can reach a certain level of proficiency in a month.

However, Lu Luande observed the crane step by step, and the effect was definitely different from that of ordinary people.

……

……

"Finally, I have recovered most of it."

In the early morning half a month later, white smoke lingered between the bamboo shoots. In the wisps of mist on the mountainside, under the short pine trees dripping with dew, Lu Luan slowly opened his eyes.

He had been meditating on this tilted mossy stone last night. It was very cold in the early morning, so there were some tiny drops of water in his hair.

In the past half month, after his lungs had absorbed the essence, he continued to meditate and recover. When his lungs were full, he called Xiao He to practice the art of walking.

Finally, his lungs and internal organs recovered to a large extent, and his magical walking skills also made some progress.

After looking at the water vapor on his body, he shook his head and smiled. The internal energy in his body shook, and all the water vapor was dispersed.

"Boss Lu, Boss Lu."

A hurried call came from the mist below.

"Hmm?" Lu Luan frowned and muttered, "What happened?"

Then he stood up, his steps light and nimble, stepping on the stones in the mountain, and in a few breaths his figure disappeared.

"Boss Lu...Boss Lu..."

On the dewy lawn a crane was shouting.

"puff."

Lu Luan jumped down from the sky and asked in confusion: "Xiao He, why are you calling out so early in the morning?"

"Boss Lu, I thought you had returned to the sect. Come on, I have good news for you."

After seeing him, Xiao He immediately ran over.

"What good news?" Lu Luan looked curious.

The little crane said in its muddy and unclear voice:

"It's like this. I was sleeping in the reed marsh just now, and I heard two servants passing by say that there was a very strong spiritual aura emanating from the Sea Wave Valley. Judging from the effect, it was no less than the spiritual herbs in the blessed land. I guess there might be spiritual herbs hidden in the dark that have matured, so many servant disciples have rushed to look for opportunities."

"The Valley of Waves?"

Lu Luan's eyebrows twitched. Below the Wave Valley is an underground cave. Because it is connected to Xuanting Lake, there is an underground river flowing underneath. When standing in it, one can often hear the sound of water splashing similar to that of sea waves, hence the name.

"Boss Lu, are you going?"

Xiao He asked anxiously.

Lu Luan touched his chin and said, "It's just that Hailang Valley is quite far from here. I'm afraid that by the time I get there, the show will have ended and everyone will have left."

"It's okay. I'll give you a ride. If you get any benefits, you have to share them with me." Xiao He replied immediately.

"You'll give me a ride?" Lu Luan looked at it in disbelief.

In fact, he really wanted to try the feeling of riding on its back. He had mentioned it before, but no matter how many spiritual herbs he gave Xiaohe, he would not agree.

After all, running is embarrassing enough, and if you carry someone like a mule, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?

"That treasure may be extraordinary. Perhaps it can restore my broken feather." Xiao He's voice became low, and then he squatted down.

"Well, if I get it, you'll get a share."

Lu Luan patted its neck and then stepped on it.

The two have known each other for so long that they can be considered friends.

"Thank you, Boss Lu."

After Xiao He finished speaking, he stood up and ran outside.

It can be said that having long legs is indeed beneficial. When running fast, he can cover three meters with one step. Ordinary mid-level monsters cannot catch up with him.

Lu Luan looked at his palm, clenched his fist, looked forward, and said, "Spiritual herbs?"

What he is best at is finding spiritual herbs.

He couldn't help but say with some anticipation, "I wonder what kind of spiritual herb it is. If I take it, can I break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining?"

After more than half a month of breathing exercises, the fire poison in his body has been suppressed and is no longer a problem. In addition, his lungs have also recovered a lot, so he can try to break through.
