A small casual cultivator!

The feathers on the little crane became more brilliant, giving people a feeling of a clear lake. After the evil spirit in its body was transformed, it became a real crane.

"Ha ha ha, Master He, I finally succeeded."

Xiao He slowly put down his legs, and then laughed wildly at the sky, but this laughter was somewhat unpleasant.

"Cough cough cough."

Lu Luan coughed slightly to remind him to be more restrained.

"Boss Lu, I became a demon... not... a spirit... nor... "

Xiao He looked at Lu Luan in ecstasy, but he was a little embarrassed to describe his current state.

Actually, it should be classified as a monster now.

"congratulations."

Lu Luan congratulated with a smile.

"Gaga, ga," the little crane laughed triumphantly, but the hoarse and unclear sound was really uncomfortable to listen to. Then he flapped his wings, and the whirlwind he created actually overturned the rocks nearby. For a moment, he became even more proud and said:

"Boss Lu, come with me to the reed marsh. I want to beat up all those bastard cranes who bullied me."

Xiao He looked very proud of himself.

Lu Luan shook his head and said, "You should go to the outer gate hall first to see if you can become a disciple of the sect, otherwise you will be mistaken for a demon and be killed."

Xiao He rubbed his head with his wings and smiled awkwardly: "That's right, Boss Lu, come with me."

After saying that, it squatted down.

Lu Luan walked up to him and asked with a strange look on his face, "Are you sure you have mastered the flying technique again?"

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Xiao He urged.

"Ok."

Lu Luan jumped up with a light leap.

"Take off."

After the little crane let out a loud cry, it soared into the sky, flying straight into the air like a sharp sword and going far away.

"This speed is actually comparable to my full-strength sword flying!"

Lu Luan was a little shocked.

"Boss Lu, I can fly steadily."

Xiao He turned around and asked with a proud smile.

"Just barely."

Lu Luan said calmly.

"Ah..." Xiao He was a little disappointed.

Just like that, soon, they arrived.

Outside the outer gate hall.

"puff."

The little crane suddenly fell from the sky, shocking the surrounding outer disciples so much that they stepped back and pointed at it.

Seeing this, Xiao He said apologetically: "I'm sorry, brothers and sisters, I couldn't take it back just now."

"Where did this wild crane come from!"

An outer sect disciple who was at the sixth level of Qi Refining walked out of the hall and shouted at it.

Lu Luan jumped down and said to the young man, "Brother, you have misunderstood. This crane has sensed its spiritual transformation and is a little excited that it cannot contain itself. It has come to apply to become a disciple of our sect."

Seeing that Lu Luan's cultivation was equal to his own, the disciple's expression immediately softened and he said, "It's just that the outer gate hall is a solemn place, so it's not appropriate to make such noise. If we disturb the elders inside, it will be difficult to explain."

"Brother, I didn't mean it."

There was some nervousness in Xiaohe's eyes.

"Sure enough, there is a demonic aura. Follow me." The disciple called out to it.

"thanks, thanks."

Xiao He kept thanking him and followed him inside.

Lu Luan walked beside him and asked, "Brother, how long will it take?"

He knew that the process for joining a sect like Xiao He was much more complicated.

The disciple replied: "About two days, after all, it needs to go through the enlightenment process."

To enlighten means to remove the evil spirit and transform it from a demon beast into a fairy beast. This process is relatively complicated.

Birds and beasts are born with the ability to breathe, but before they can transform into human form, they can only practice magic techniques. As for the skills and magical powers of immortals, they cannot be cultivated.

"Boss Lu, you go back first. After you become my disciple, I will come back by myself." Xiao He said to him.

"Ah."

Lu Luan nodded, then sent it into a courtyard and stopped.

"You are so strong after becoming a demon beast. It seems that your talent should not be weak. There should be no problem."

After saying something silently, he turned around and went back.

Since there was nothing to do, he walked around the outer hall.

"Is this the place to receive the mission?"

Soon, he came to a place full of jade pendants. Seeing a lot of people browsing inside, he walked over curiously.

After just a few glances, he said to himself in disappointment, "What a pity, these are all low-level tasks, and the highest reward is only one spirit stone."

He now had dozens of spirit stones in his storage bag and no longer cared about them. He shook his head and turned away.

"Oh, right, the elder's residence."

Suddenly, he remembered something else and stopped.

"Hmm? Brother Lu."

Just when he was about to find someone to ask, a surprised voice came from behind.

Lu Luan looked over and found it was Du Yu, so he smiled and said, "It turns out to be Brother Du."

"Brother Lu, I'm so glad that you're okay. You're not hurt, right?" Du Yu asked, looking him up and down.

During the Fudi Rebellion, more than 300 outer disciples were killed, and many of those who survived were also injured.

"Lucky, I almost couldn't come back."

Thinking back to what happened three days ago, he is still frightened. If it weren't for the elders' rescue, he and Lin Xi would have stayed on that mountain for a long time.

"I almost didn't come back either," Du Yu said fearfully, and then added, "Brother Lu, let's go have a drink to show our gratitude."

After Lu Luan thought for a while, he said, "Brother Du, please wait a moment. I'll find out something first."

He had a good impression of Du Yu and was willing to develop a deeper friendship with him. After all, he was no longer a casual cultivator, and having more friends would make things more convenient in the sect.

"Brother Lu, what are you asking about? I know a lot about the outer sect." Du Yu said.

Lu Luan thought about it and decided to ask anyone, so he said, "Brother Du, do you know an elder named He Fengtian?"

But when Du Yu heard the name, he frowned and said, "Brother Lu, why are you asking about him?"

Seeing Du Yu's reaction, Lu Luan knew that the elder was a little unusual, so he said, "The elder was seriously injured in the blessed land because of saving me. I want to visit him."

Du Yu looked around and then said, "Brother Lu, let's go outside and talk. There are some things that we are not allowed to talk about in the sect. If someone hears it, it will be difficult to deal with."

Hearing this, Lu Luan became more curious, so he nodded and said, "Well, let's talk while we drink."

Then the two of them walked outside, and then flew to a pavilion on an unknown hilltop and sat down.

At the table, Du Yu took out a jar of wine and two cups from his storage bag, poured a cup into each, and said earnestly, "Brother Lu, you must not tell anyone what I'm going to say next."

"Don't worry, Brother Du."

Lu Luan assured.

"Alas," Du Yu shook his head and sighed, and whispered: "Speaking of Elder He, he is also a very pitiful person."

"Why?" Lu Luan asked immediately.

Du Yu took a sip of wine and said, "Fifteen years ago, a major event occurred in the sect that shocked the entire sect. Elder He was retaliated against, and his wife, son, and daughter-in-law all died tragically. Only his grandson escaped because he was taken out to play."

"what?"

Lu Luan's hand holding the cup suddenly froze, looking very unbelievable.

"Moreover, the murderer was one of his senior brothers. Of course, the senior brother was subdued by the elders who came over during the murder and was eventually executed."

"This……"

Lu Luan was a little confused. What hatred towards his fellow disciples made him disregard the sect rules and act so cruelly? And he did it within the sect!

So he asked, "Brother Du, do you know what the reason is?"

Du Yu said: "I just heard about it, I'm not sure, it seems to be due to some kind of adventure."

"An unexpected encounter, could it be..."

Lu Luan subconsciously thought of the technique that Elder He had asked him to practice. Even Elder Xianlu said that it was a miraculous technique, so it must be of very good quality.

"No way, no way."

But he soon shook his head. If that was true, they had only met a few times, how could he allow himself such an adventure that would bring disaster so easily?

Seeing that his face looked strange, Du Yu asked in confusion: "Brother Lu, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Luan realized that he had lost his composure, and after reacting, he quickly said, "It's nothing, Brother Du, please continue."

Du Yu said slowly: "In fact, he still has a grandson. It can be said that he is lucky in misfortune, but it seems that God thinks that he is not miserable enough."

"what happened?"

Lu Luan asked urgently.

"Alas," Du Yu sighed deeply and shook his head, "Because his grandson is his only relative, Elder He naturally loves him very much, so over time, he has become a useless playboy. At the age of 18, he is only at the sixth level of Qi training. The elder wanted to train him, so he took him to the Monster Mountain Range to hunt monsters."

Lu Luan's eyes darkened and he guessed what happened next.

Du Yu continued, "Who would have thought that he would be besieged by two high-level monsters, and his grandson would die in the monster's belly. Elder He's hair also turned completely white at that time, and he has been living in seclusion since then. It's just strange that he has been seen frequently in the outer gate hall recently."

Lu Luan was silent, feeling heavy-hearted.

He could feel what it felt like to lose a loved one.

But he didn't expect that Elder He had such a tragic story.

Lu Luan asked softly, "Brother Du, how did you know these things?"

Du Yu shook his head and said, "These are not actually secrets. Although the sect does not allow us to talk about them, many true disciples know about them. These are what my parents told me."

"It's a shame that the disciples in the sect are so cruel, so Brother Lu, please don't tell others about it."

Du Yu warned carefully.

Lu Luan nodded and asked, "Brother Du, do you know where this Elder He lives?"

"He lives in Qianzhu Mountain, but that's where the elders live, and only inner disciples are allowed to get close. So if Brother Lu wants to visit and express his gratitude, he'd better wait until he becomes an inner disciple. In fact, Brother Lu doesn't have to worry about Elder He's injury. After all, he is an outer elder, and the sect will provide resources to help him recover." Du Yu said.

"Thank you, Brother Du, for telling me so many things today."

Lu Luan nodded and bowed to express his gratitude.

"Brother Lu, you're too polite. By the way, Brother Lu, where is the crane at your home? I really like its naughty look. Ask it to have a drink with us." Du Yu asked with a smile.

"It is now in the outer gate hall to cultivate its demonic energy. I wonder if it can become a disciple." Lu Luan said.

"It's become a monster!" Du Yu showed a surprised look, then laughed and said, "It should be no problem. After all, the cranes born in Zhengyang Gate are blessed by nature. They have been cleansed by spiritual energy since they were eggs. Their bones are much better than the wild cranes outside the mountain gate. Haha, if it becomes an outer disciple, it will definitely be a rare flower."

The two of them drank and chatted in the mountains.

……

"Brother, look, there is a person from Long Yunfeng over there."

After a long time, five people passed by the side of the mountain. When one of them saw Du Yu, he immediately said something with ill intention.

The young man in the lead smiled strangely and said, "Let's go over and play a trick on him."

The next few people flew here.

Du Yu saw them, his face darkened, and he immediately said to Lu Luan: "Brother Lu, they are from Liehuo Peak. I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, he left quickly.

"Fire Peak?"

Lu Luan looked at those people with a bad expression on his face. Having been in the sect for so long, he naturally knew the division of power among the disciples.

The Liehuo Peak has always been at odds with the Longyun Peak.
