A small casual cultivator!

The little crane strode along the lakeside like a whirlwind, attracting the attention of many disciples and cranes along the way.

As expected of its long legs, it took Lu Luan less than half a quarter of an hour to run the distance.

"so many people?"

As soon as he arrived outside the Wave Valley, Lu Luan saw more than 20 people gathered there, and he was a little surprised.

These people are all menial servants at the peak of the fourth and third levels of Qi Refining.

"Ok?"

Everyone who saw Lu Luan riding a crane was surprised. After all, cranes are very proud, and it is rare to see one that carries people like an ox or a horse.

After seeing Lu Luan jump off his back, Xianhe said, "Let's go, Boss Lu."

"Ah."

Then the two of them walked into the valley.

"Bold crane, don't stop!"

Seeing Xiao He was about to enter the valley, a servant at the fourth level of Qi Refining stepped forward and shouted.

After all, such a good thing, it would be fine if it was just people from the same sect who came, but even a bird would want to get its hands on the treasure?

The cranes living by the Xuanting Lake are not monsters, so they don't have any demonic aura and are not very powerful. Relying on their size and strength equivalent to that of a fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator, they can bully some servants, but some people at the peak of the fourth-level Qi Refining cultivators don't really buy into them.

"Yes."

"My fellow disciple, it's too much to ask for a crane."

Some people around made noises.

They thought that this was the helper Lu Luan found to get the treasure.

Lu Luan frowned, not expecting it to be like this.

Seeing this, Xiao He whispered, "Boss Lu, how about I withdraw first and wait for you outside."

Lu Luan shook his head. He could see that these people were just yelling and had no intention of stopping them, so he said, "My fellow disciples, you misunderstood. This is the mount I subdued. Is it okay?"

Although this little crane cannot fly, it still has some strength. His hidden illness has not yet healed, his foundation is not as strong as those disciples, and the magic weapons in his hands are not as good as theirs, so naturally he has to bring the little crane with him.

"That's right, I am Boss Lu's mount."

Xiao He not only had no objection to Lu Luan's words, but also fully cooperated with them.

"You can't go in there either."

A disciple said.

The little crane was amused, looked at him and said, "Why can't you go in? Do you have the ability to subdue our cranes and use them as mounts?"

"you……"

"What do you mean by 'you'? Grandson, if you keep talking, I will carry you to the lake to feed the fishes."

"Hahaha."

Some onlookers were amused by this foul-mouthed and very unconventional crane and burst into laughter.

After all, cranes have an elegant temperament, which is very rare.

The faces of those who spoke just now looked very ugly.

"That's right. If you have the ability, go and subdue the mount yourself. Why are you being so sarcastic?"

At this time, a male disciple in green clothes came over from the side and spoke.

He looks about sixteen years old. Although younger than Lu Luan, they are about the same size.

Seeing someone helping to speak, they turned around and said nothing more, and disappeared into the wave valley in a few steps.

"Thank you, my friend."

When he saw this man, Lu Luan bowed and thanked him.

The disciple smiled and said, "Your crane is quite interesting. Let's be friends. My name is Du Yu. What's your name?"

"Lu Luan."

Lu Luan smiled.

He had a good impression of this person and was willing to make friends with him.

Looking at the people standing around the Wave Valley, Lu Luan asked, "Brother Du, why don't so many people go in?"

Du Yu replied: "They have just arrived as well, and are now standing on a high place, trying to see which place is most likely to have treasures. After all, the Sea Wave Valley is so large, it is impossible to search everywhere."

"So that's it."

Lu Luan understood.

"Brother Lu, let's talk later. Now it's important to find the treasure. After all, I heard that the phenomenon is quite big. It might be something that would attract all the true disciples."

"So strong?"

Lu Luan was unbelievable.

Du Yu nodded and left.

In fact, everyone who came here knew about it, except Lu Luan who was practicing somewhere else so he didn’t know much about it.

"Boss Lu, let's go quickly too."

Xiao He said impatiently.

However, Lu Luan frowned slightly, looked up at the sky, and thought to himself: "It seems that this matter is not simple. If it is really such a treasure, why didn't the inner disciples and true disciples come?"

"Haha, what kind of treasures can be produced in the mountains outside the lake? Most likely, those elders are looking for disciples." Lu Luan chuckled in his heart.

Although it's just speculation, there's a high probability that someone did it on purpose.

"Xiaohe, let's go."

"okay."

After saying that, the man and the crane quickly ran in.

"Little guy, please."

Looking at the palm of his hand, Lu Luan said silently in his heart.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

"Boss Lu, why are we running all the time?"

By a stream, Xiao He lowered his head and drank a mouthful of stream water, then looked at him and asked in confusion.

Lu Luan sat on a rock nearby, stroking his chin, and thought: "Did I guess wrong? I have checked every flat and safe place in the Wave Valley, why is there still no reaction from the little bug?"

He guessed that if the elders were really selecting disciples, they would definitely put the treasures in a place where it would be easy to fight for. After all, they were all menial disciples who couldn't fly. If they put them in a dangerous place, what would happen if something unexpected happened during the fight?

But he has already walked through all the places in the valley that meet the requirements, and didn't find any unusual movements of the medicine insects?

This made him begin to doubt his guess.

"Is it underground?"

Lu Luan looked towards the ground. After all, under the wave valley was a cave that was like a thousand feet underground.

But he soon shook his head and said, "Impossible. If we were underground, how would the elders figure out which disciple performed well?"

"Boss Lu, look at these mountains around here. They are so strange."

Xiao He at the side suddenly said.

"strangeness?"

Lu Luan looked around and found that there were eight small peaks surrounding the valley, and the layout was quite neat, as if there was some natural trend hidden.

"It's indeed a bit strange." Lu Luan nodded.

"boom."

"what happened?"

Just as he finished speaking, he felt a clear and sharp spiritual fluctuation coming from afar.

"It's a treasure!!"

Xiao He immediately said excitedly.

"This spiritual energy fluctuation is so strong, it's not an ordinary treasure!"

Lu Luan was shocked. He didn't expect the level of this treasure to be so high.

"Ok?"

"Something's wrong!"

Just after the spiritual fluctuations came, he suddenly felt the medicine insect in his palm begin to move strangely.

However, the direction it indicated was not the direction from which the spiritual rhythm came.

"What's going on? Are you overwhelmed by the aura of the treasure?"

Lu Luan looked at his palm in confusion. Why was this medicine bug so confused today?

"Boss Lu, shall we go quickly?"

Seeing Lu Luan stunned, Xiao He immediately called out anxiously.

"Okay, let's go."

Lu Luan reacted and quickly jumped onto Xiao He's back.

Xiao He also immediately started running away.

"As long as I use the golden silk to get the treasure, with Xiaohe's speed, the other menial disciples shouldn't be able to catch up." Lu Luan thought silently.

He felt that he should have some hope in this fight for the treasure.

"Hey...it hurts!"

When the drug bug in his palm noticed that he was getting further and further away, it immediately started to struggle among it, and finally bit his flesh hard, causing Lu Luan's eyes to twitch in pain.

Looking at the palm of his hand, Lu Luan wondered curiously, "What happened today? Could it be that there was really something there just now?"

Feeling that the medicine bug was gradually becoming depressed again, he shook his head and said, "Let's take a closer look later."

……

After a while, they followed the direction of Lingyun and came to a lake forty meters wide between the mountains.

"That is?"

As soon as Lu Luan arrived, he was shocked by the scene before him.

I saw a skeleton sitting cross-legged in the middle of the lake! And above the skeleton's skull, a crystal clear lotus was floating.

However, this lotus is not an ordinary lotus. Each of its petals is like a long sword, and there are many virtual sword shadows hovering around it.

The pure sword energy released by the lotus enveloped the entire lake!

"That white bone was a swordsman when he was alive. After his death, a lotus grew in his flesh. The lotus absorbed the sword's will and grew. It is extremely sharp. The power of the lotus itself is probably stronger than that of a medium-sized magic weapon. If you can get it, it will have unimaginable benefits for your understanding of swordsmanship!"

At this time, the lakeside was full of people, and a knowledgeable errand disciple said excitedly.

"Bone Sword Lotus?!"

Lu Luan's eyes were filled with shock and excitement. It was the first time he had seen such a treasure. It was a spiritual medicine, but it had a power stronger than a magic weapon.

Just imagine how sharp the sword energy around this lotus is. If it could be refined and subdued, and when in danger it could be thrown out, wouldn't a large number of people die?
