A small casual cultivator!

"The Shadow Streaming Technique?"

After taking a look at the booklet in his hand, he walked towards his cabin.

Zhu Wei set up a spirit gathering array in his residence, and now the area surrounding the cottage is filled with rich spiritual energy.

Of course, he also asked his senior brother to set up a confinement formation to nurture the small spiritual vein underground. After all, in an environment with such rich spiritual energy, the spiritual vein can grow rapidly.

He did not hide the spiritual vein from his senior brothers and sisters. After all, the little guy was only worth two or three hundred spirit stones now. His senior brother knew how to make formation plates and could earn so much just by selling them in a month, so naturally he would not covet it.

As for my senior sister, that’s even worse.

After entering the house, he sat cross-legged and began to examine the Shadow Flow Technique carefully.

He really needed such a magical power now. After all, his master was right. Saving his life should be the first priority at all times. A good footwork could not only save his life at the critical moment, but also give him the advantage in battle.

Although this step is difficult to practice, with the guidance of Second Brother, it should be much faster.

……

……

A month later.

"puff!"

Lu Luan stepped on a mossy stone, then his feet moved and instantly landed in the distance, stirring up a bunch of bamboo leaves.

Then he took several steps in the air, his figure was extremely fast!

After a month of practice, he finally made some progress in the art of flowing shadows.

Of course, his master also taught him many wonderful uses of the Five Elements Sword-wielding Technique.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

There were several more footsteps sounds, and figures flashed by quickly, flying towards Lu Luan.

"Flying sword!"

Lu Luan looked back, moved his fingers, and five flying swords immediately stabbed behind him.

When Zhu Wei saw this, he smiled slightly, and the next moment his figure split into six, and it was unknown which one was the real one.

"Snapped……"

The sword pierced through five figures and stuck into the ground.

"Haha, Junior Brother, look at my palm!"

After dodging the attack, Zhu Wei appeared above him and slapped him with his palm.

"return!"

Lu Luan's mind moved, and five flying swords flew back quickly and appeared in front of him. He held a sword, and the hilts of the other four swords were facing each other, rotating to form a circle to block in front of him.

Zhu Wei’s attack rushed over and slapped the four flying swords with one palm.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Lu Luan was shocked and took several steps back!

But while retreating, he swung the sword in his hand, and the sword energy attacked, and Zhu Wei was forced to retreat.

Although he was at a disadvantage in this confrontation, his eyes were full of surprise.

This was equivalent to a full-strength attack from someone at the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining, but it was actually blocked by his flying sword!

"Brother, look at the sword!"

Lu Luan shouted softly, and then the four sword trees appeared above his head, emitting a wave that connected to the sword in his hand. As he swung the sword down, a huge sword energy appeared.

This was emitted by five long swords combined together, and the power of the sword energy suddenly increased greatly!

However, Zhu Wei did not take it. He flashed away.

The sword energy struck the ground, leaving a ten-foot-long gully.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Lu Luan panted slightly and fell to the ground. Although the sword was powerful, it was still a bit difficult for him to use it.

"This sword is good, but it's too slow. Junior brother, you need to practice more." Zhu Weiyi said as he walked over.

Seeing his tired look, he added, "But you have already got the basics of that footwork, and you have made great progress. When I was practicing, it took me a month and a half to reach your level."

Lu Luan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, please don't flatter me. Without your help, I wouldn't be able to practice to this level in two months."

Lu Luan was quite grateful to the senior brother in front of him. Although he seemed careless at ordinary times, he was absolutely serious and responsible when giving instructions, and he was not the kind who was just a little enthusiastic.

Of course, he certainly couldn't give instructions all day long. Even if the other party was willing, Lu Luan couldn't bring himself to do so.

"I can only give you some pointers at the beginning. The rest depends on you to apply and comprehend it more in battle," Zhu Wei said.

"That's what senior brother said."

Lu Luan nodded.

"I have nothing more to say about the Flowing Shadow Technique. Do you want to learn formations from me in the future?" Zhu Wei asked with a smile.

Lu Luan hesitated for a while and said, "I'm afraid this will take up too much of your time, Senior Brother."

Zhu Wei shook his head and said, "No delay, no delay. My understanding of the Dao of Formation has been stagnant for a long time, and it is difficult for me to have new ideas, so I plan to sort it out from the beginning. Unfortunately, Senior Sister doesn't have time to listen to me, so maybe teaching you, a beginner, will give you some different insights."

"Thank you so much, senior brother!"

Lu Luan thanked him quickly.

Learning formations is a very promising career, so he naturally wanted to learn it very much, but he was always too embarrassed to ask. Now that the other party said so, he would be in vain not to learn it.

When I learn how to make a formation plate in the future, won't the spirit stones come to me in large quantities? Isn't this safer and easier than killing monsters?

"Brother, let's start now."

Zhu Wei seemed even more impatient than him.

After Lu Luan thought for a while, he calculated the time and said, "Brother, let's do it tomorrow. I have something to do today."

"Is something wrong?"

Zhu Wei was puzzled.

Lu Luan said: "Today is the outer sect competition, I plan to go and take a look."

Thinking of Lin Xi, he couldn't help but smile.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Wei understood and said in a somewhat strange tone: "Which outer sect friend are you going to see? Take Brother to see him too."

"This……"

Lu Luan didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Haha, I'm just teasing you, go ahead."

Zhu Wei shook his head and said, "I'm going to look for my senior sister."

Then he left.

"It's almost time to start."

Lu Luan looked up into the sky and was about to fly when he saw the clothes of his inner disciples.

He thought to himself, "Should I change my clothes? Although it's a big competition, there aren't many inner disciples watching. Wouldn't it be too conspicuous to wear this?"

He doesn't like to be high-profile.

But he seemed to have thought of something, smiled, and decided not to change, and flew directly into the air.

After all, sometimes, being high-profile has its advantages.

Lu Luan flew in the air and soon arrived at the place where the sect competition was taking place.

"I've met senior brother."

As soon as he landed, the outer disciples around him bowed politely.

Lu Luan nodded lightly and began to search the crowd.

The place where he was currently staying was quite far away from the arena, but as his cultivation had improved, his eyesight had also become sharper, and he could still clearly see a person's appearance even from a distance.

"Is it too early?"

When he realized that he didn't see Lin Xi, he frowned and murmured.

Actually, it’s not early now.

"Ok?"

But soon, his brows relaxed and a smile appeared on his lips. In the crowd in the distance, he saw that familiar figure.

"Why hasn't Senior Brother Lu come yet?"

Lin Xi was also standing on tiptoe and looking around. Of course, her attention was all on the outer disciples around her.

"Could it be that Senior Brother Lu forgot?"

Not seeing Lu Luan, she looked a little downcast.

"Xiao Xi, who are you looking for?" The girl next to her saw it and asked in confusion.

"I'm not looking for anyone. I'm just too nervous because there will be too many people watching me."

Lin Xi retracted his gaze and explained in a low voice.

"Aren't you afraid of going on the fighting stage? You didn't sign up when I asked you to, so why did you sign up all of a sudden?"

A young girl asked.

Lin Xi looked calm and said nothing.

"Xiao Xi, it's okay. There's a first time for everything. I was also very nervous last time. We sisters will cheer you on later!"

An older female disciple nearby patted her on the back and consoled her.

"Thank you, Sister Li."

Lin Xi thanked him quietly, but continued to look around without giving up.

"Have you reached the peak of the fifth level of Qi Refining?"

Lu Luan saw his cultivation level and smiled. It seemed that it wouldn't take long for Lin Xi to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

This is somewhat unexpected.

There were outer disciples in front of him, and he was too lazy to listen to their greetings, so he didn't plan to get close. It would be the same if he went up after the game was over.

Then he looked around.

"Ok?"

Time passed slowly, and suddenly, Lu Luan frowned. He saw several figures landed on the elders' seats in the distance. Although most of them looked very old, they all had a long and deep aura.

Lu Luan knew that these were the foundation-building elders.

“I didn’t expect that a foundation building elder would come to accept a disciple.”

He was a little surprised. Of course, they came to watch the outer disciples’ competition in order to find a successor. Otherwise, how could such a small competition alarm them?

In fact, there are quite a few foundation-building elders in the sect, but most of them are in seclusion in caves at ordinary times, and it is rare to see them.

"clang!"

A bell rang and the competition began.
