A small casual cultivator!

The crane slowly walked over, looked at the old man, and said in a complicated tone:

“There are indeed some similarities.”

"This disciple is not bad, he is very well behaved and sensible. If Xiao Ku could understand the ways of the world half as well as he does, he wouldn't... Oh... It's all my fault. I shouldn't have pushed him too hard. If he can't succeed, then so be it. At least... he can still be alive."

The old man's eyes revealed deep sorrow and self-blame.

"Yes, but it is very rare for this disciple to have his current mentality. You gave him the Five Elements Flying Sword. Do you want to accept him as your disciple?" Xianhe saw through his thoughts and asked softly.

The old man nodded and said, "He is somewhat similar to Xiao Ku, but what is even more rare is that his spiritual roots are quite good. With a little polishing, he can also become a beautiful jade."

"It's just that his foundation... now he's at the fifth level of Qi Refining, it's already very difficult to make up for it... Wait... You don't want him to practice that yellow-level technique?"

Xianhe thought of something and looked at him in disbelief.

The old man turned his back and said, "Yes, but I still need to observe him for a few more days to see if he is worth my efforts."

"Alas, this price is too high. I am fine if I am half buried in the ground, but you still have hope of living another fifty years."

The old man remained silent, just standing quietly in the yard with his hands behind his back, looking outside.

……

"What about the elder?"

After leaving the cabin, Lu Luan finally let out a long breath and felt a sense of relief in his body. Only now did he realize that cold sweat was already breaking out on his back.

Thinking of the inexplicable and weird behavior of the outer sect elder, one could not help but feel confused.

"No wonder that senior brother specifically told me to be careful. It turned out to be so weird." He couldn't figure it out, so he gave up thinking about it. He looked at the storage bag in his hand and thought, "I wonder what good things there are in it."

With excitement, he began to check the storage bag.

It can be opened under the strict rules in the door, so it is obviously not an ordinary storage bag.

"Hey, there are actually five magic weapons!"

After opening it, what came into view were five long swords of different colors. And judging from the aura they emitted, they should be intermediate magic weapons of good quality. If combined with magic magic, they would definitely be powerful intermediate magic weapons.

"Are all the elders of Zhengyang Sect so kind? They let me practice the Five Elements Sword Controlling Technique and even prepared all the magic tools I needed for me."

After being shocked, he chuckled and said, "Haha, the Immortal Sect is worthy of being called the Immortal Sect. The elders in high positions are so kind to the disciples. No wonder everyone wants to join."

"Huh? There are still five low-level spirit stones!"

After checking the long sword, he was surprised again, frowned, and asked in confusion: "Other people's rewards are only one flying sword and one spirit stone, how come I got five? Did the sect adjust the benefits recently?"

he guessed.

"Junior brother, how is it going? Is everything going well?"

While he was thinking, the male disciple who brought him here walked up to him and asked.

"It went smoothly, but that elder..." Lu Luan wanted to say something, but stopped halfway. After a pause, he continued: "That elder's cultivation is really profound."

He almost said the word "strange".

"Elder He is at the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining. His cultivation is indeed good for us," the disciple nodded, his voice neither too loud nor too low, without any taboos.

"No wonder," Lu Luan murmured.

"It's a pity. I heard that Elder He was also a genius when he was young. He reached the peak of the tenth level at the age of thirty. It stands to reason that breaking through the foundation should not be a problem. It's really puzzling."

Lu Luan was shocked by his blunt words and said quickly, "Brother, let's not talk about the elders' affairs."

"That's right," the disciple smiled and asked, "Junior brother, how many spirit stones did the elder reward you?"

Lu Luan was about to answer, but something occurred to him and he asked, "Brother, has the reward been changed?"

"They are all one or two pieces? They haven't changed. Junior brother, you don't have any at all, do you?"

The disciple looked at him in surprise.

Lu Luan's heart was in turmoil, but he appeared calm on the surface and nodded lightly.

"It seems that the elder has given up on you. Take care of yourself, brother. I will take my leave now."

There was disappointment in the disciple's eyes, and he turned and left after he finished speaking.

"This……"

Lu Luan was a little surprised. This senior brother was apparently quite enthusiastic and he had a good impression of him, but now it was all gone.

He frowned and said to himself, "It seems that the outer sect is much more complicated than menial tasks."

After muttering to himself, he ignored them and walked out. Of course, he still bowed symbolically when he passed by the two people.

Looking at Lu Luan's back, another person shook his head and said disdainfully, "There's no need to ask a person like this who has only reached the fifth level of Qi Refining at the age of seventeen. He can become an outer disciple only because of the grace of the elders. If he is unlucky, he will be directly sent out to become a recorder disciple. Why are you talking nonsense to him?"

"Indeed, I thought he was a descendant of an elder. Now it seems that I was overthinking."

……

"How come I only have five? Could it be that the elder felt pity for me?" Lu Luan guessed as he walked, but after shaking his head, he said, "He probably felt that it was difficult for me to practice five flying swords at the same time, so he gave me a few more spirit stones to enhance the power of my magic weapon. After all, for an outer sect elder, a few low-level spirit stones are nothing."

Next, he looked at the badge, held it tightly, and said to himself, "First, get the treasure in the cave, and then go to the martial arts building to choose the magic."

After putting the badge away, he quickly ran down the mountain.

……

Half an hour later.

He arrived at the place.

After figuring out the approximate range of the treasure, he waved his hand and a long sword appeared.

The next thing I saw was a flash of cold light and a rock rolling down.

Lu Luan quickly held it up with his hands and guessed, "The thing that gathers spiritual energy should be the same spiritual liquid as the rock saliva, but the effect will definitely be much better."

After all, how could the spiritual toads attracted be compared with the spiritual veins?

Of course, Lu Luan was not in a hurry to split it open to see what was inside. Instead, he looked at it for a while and then put it into the storage bag.

Anyway, I have it, so I’ll do the important thing first.

Of course, he did not turn around and leave in a hurry. Instead, he explored around the cave again. After all, this was where spiritual veins could be born, and there might be other treasures there.

Unfortunately, there is nothing left.

"It seems that I am too greedy."

After searching in vain, he shook his head, smiled dejectedly, then turned and left.

"Five Elements Sword Controlling Technique? Refining the flying sword into the five internal organs and nourishing the internal organs with the sword will indeed help me."

On the way, Lu Luan thought silently.

Compared to before, he did not seem to be in a hurry this time, and his speed was neither fast nor slow.

An hour later.

Lu Luan climbed to the top of a mountain 500 meters high. Looking at the martial arts building looming in the clouds ahead, he said speechlessly, "Why build a palace on the top of a mountain? Wouldn't it be better to build it on the mountainside or at the bottom of the mountain?"

The mountain was too high, and even though he had great speed, he couldn't help but feel his legs and feet were a little weak.

Looking at the sword-controlling disciples who took off and landed from the side of the palace from time to time, he sighed with envy: "It's still more convenient to be able to fly. You can go freely even to a thousand feet high in the sky or a ten thousand foot deep abyss."

After a while, after adjusting his breathing, he walked towards the martial arts building.

The martial arts building is an important place in the sect and is heavily guarded, but he has the badge of an outer disciple and did not encounter any obstacles.

After entering, he was not in a hurry to go deeper. Seeing a female disciple on duty not far away, he walked over and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Senior Sister."

"Junior brother, what did you do?"

The female disciple asked.

Lu Luan handed over his badge and said, "The outer sect elder said that I am suitable for practicing the Five Elements Sword Controlling Technique and asked me to come and receive it."

"Five Elements Sword Controlling Technique? Why practice such a painful technique?" The female disciple gave him a strange look, took the waist badge and felt it, then said:

"Junior brother, although the Five Elements Sword Controlling Technique is not a yellow-level magic, it is almost the same. Outer disciples are not qualified to learn it, but the elder has specifically instructed that you can make an exception. I remember it should be at the left corner of the second floor, go and look for it."

After saying that, he handed the badge to him.

"Thank you, senior sister."

Lu Luan thanked him politely and went to the second floor.
