Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

Bai Mansion, the side house on the east side.

Lu Yuguan sat cross-legged on the bed, with the three secret books given by Bai Zheng placed in front of him, not knowing where to start.

"I don't know what price I paid to get it back."

Lu Yuguan felt warm inside and didn't know what to say.

"Tongzi, can you help me look up these secret books?" Lu Yuguan asked.

After a while, the details of the three secret books appeared in front of Lu Yuguan's eyes——

[Ten Thousand Thorns丨External Skill]

[Introduction: Instantly summons countless thorns from attached objects to attack the enemy. Can be cast instantly and takes a short time, but consumes a large amount of spiritual energy.]

[Consumption: 25 Spiritual Power]

Looking at this secret book reminded Lu Yuguan of the four people in front of the Lotus Tower before. The eldest brother Sijidou who was the leader did have similar tricks.

When Lu Yuguan turned to the next book, an ancient atmosphere hit him.

【Hardwood Armor丨External Skill】

[Introduction: By gathering wood-attribute spiritual energy on the surface of the skin, it forms a sufficiently solid armor to resist enemy attacks.]

[Consumption: 15 Spiritual Power]

This is indeed a standard external skill, belonging to the defensive type. For Lu Yuguan at the moment, the defense is a bit weak.

The last one does not look like a complete set of exercises. Judging from its thickness, it is obvious that it is a fragment.

[Wood Spirit Soul Control Skill·Incomplete Version丨Special Skill]

[Introduction: This technique is suitable for outdoor practice, with strict requirements on the environment. It draws on natural spiritual energy to nourish wood spirits. It can summon wood spirits to fight in battle, and even nurture puppet clones.]

【Consumption:?】

If other exercises have an internal and external distinction, which is more intuitive, this last exercise is more like a skill.

"Nourishing the wood spirit...is it just like raising a small pet?" Lu Yuguan looked at the book of exercises curiously.

He then shook his head again. Regardless of whether he should decide to practice this technique, the conditions for practicing it alone were quite harsh.

Lu Yuguan decided to learn the first two books of skills first, and as for the third one, he would try it when he had the chance.

As the night gradually spread across the entire sky, time passed by minute by minute.

Without the help of the [cultivation videotape] provided by the system, Lu Yuguan could only rely on himself to slowly explore the unfamiliar exercises.

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Lu Yuguan sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and slowly injected spiritual power into his body.

He began to follow the instructions in the secret book, and gradually comprehended the mysteries of the martial arts.

Time passed quietly, and Lu Yuguan's cultivation gradually entered a state of perfection. His body seemed to merge with the surrounding nature, and spiritual energy flowed through his body like a rushing river, endless and inexhaustible.

Finally, after countless attempts and failures, Lu Yuguan succeeded in practicing the Ten Thousand Thorns technique. It was as if countless thorns were dancing around his body, each one containing a powerful force.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuguan turned his attention to the Hard Wood Armor Technique.

This time, he was even more adept at it, his spiritual energy condensing on the surface of his skin into a stronger layer of armor. He could even feel the armor's faint connection with the outside world, as if he could mobilize the surrounding natural forces at any time to strengthen his defense.

"It's done!"

Lu Yuguan wiped the sweat from his head, but his eyes were unusually clear.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for mastering the Ten Thousand Trees and Thorns technique.]

[Current cultivation level is - Minor Success!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for mastering the Hardwood Armor technique.]

[Current cultivation level is - Entry! ]

Although the two techniques are practiced together, the levels reached are different.

"It seems that the grade of this defensive technique is indeed much higher than the first one." Lu Yuguan thought.

He mobilized his spiritual power and tried to use the skills himself. With a "swish", the wall was silently covered with dense thorns, which looked even more creepy.

He retracted the thorns and mobilized his spiritual power again. His skin seemed to be covered with a layer of translucent wooden armor mixed with emerald green and brown. Although it was still relatively thin, it still had considerable deterrent power.

"Not bad!" Lu Yuguan admired it alone and was very satisfied with himself.

After using the two skills in turn, Lu Yuguan's spiritual power reserves were almost drained. Fortunately, the Demon-Suppressing Furnace Technique could quickly restore a large amount of spiritual power, which could support him to cleverly use these skills many times in battle.

"Host, we suggest you cultivate your internal energy more, striving to break through the Bronze Furnace Cauldron stage as soon as possible and unleash the true power of your Demon-Suppressing Furnace Cauldron physique." The system's voice came.

"Tong-chan, what exactly is this Demon-Suppressing Furnace Cauldron Physique?" Lu Yuguan, who has been practicing for so long, finally couldn't help but ask.

[Ding! The host does not have sufficient permissions to view this entry! ]

"Stingy!" Lu Yuguan was so angry that he rolled off the bed, holding his butt and crying out in pain.

[Due to the host's slow progress in cultivating immortality, the Civilization Merit System is now enabled.]

"Contributions to civilization?" Lu Yuguan was slightly stunned after hearing this.

As soon as he thought about it, a floating panel appeared in front of him, covered with various task status bars -

[Searching for uncivilized behavior in the surrounding area...]

[The host can perform civilized persuasion to gain civilization value. Completing the corresponding task progress may also redeem civilization merits, which can bring significant benefits to the host! ]

[Searched for related tasks: Help the little wild cat drive away the eagle]

[Difficulty: One Star]

[Reward: 0.2 Civilization Value]

Lu Yuguan's thought moved him, and he quickly activated the Lichunfeng. In the blink of an eye, he left the house and arrived on the roof.

Under the moonlight, there was indeed a little black cat running away, and a big bird was circling in the sky not far away.

"It's a good opportunity for me to try out my new tricks!"

Lu Yuguan was delighted. His physical skills, enhanced by the beginning of spring breeze, were indeed extraordinary, allowing him to move like a shadow in the night.

The little black cat seemed to feel Lu Yuguan's kindness and was no longer so panicked. Instead, it curled up in a corner of the roof, staring at the big bird in the sky vigilantly.

Lu Yuguan knew that this big bird was definitely not a good creature. Its sharp eyes and claws were obviously the signs of a hunter.

He gently soothed the little black cat, then flashed across the rooftops like a wisp of smoke. The large bird, sensing his presence, let out a sharp cry and swooped down, its sharp claws aimed straight at Lu Yuguan's face.

Lu Yuguan remained calm, turning to avoid the bird's attack. He took a deep breath, clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and the Qi in his body quickly flowed through his body, gathering at his fingertips.

"A thousand trees and thorns!——"

Following Lu Yuguan's loud shout, many long and thin thorns emerged from the gaps between the tiles on the surrounding walls.

However, the big bird was very agile and dodged the sudden attack, then swooped down towards Lu Yuguan.

"Damn thing, take my palm!——"

Lu Yuguan slapped out with his palm, and the palm wind contained the flexible power of the beginning of spring wind, which shook the big bird and made it roll in the air.

However, this big bird was no ordinary creature. It adjusted its posture in the air and swooped down towards Lu Yuguan again.

Lu Yuguan moved like the wind, dodging and evading attacks across the rooftops while searching for opportunities to strike back. The little black cat watched the fight nervously from the side, seemingly sensing Lu Yuguan's fighting spirit.

Lu Yuguan seized the opportunity, leaped up, flew up like a spirit swallow, and with both palms extended, injected a strong spiritual power into the big bird's body.

The big bird let out a mournful cry, and finally fell weakly, hitting the roof.

Lu Yuguan landed lightly on the roof, watching the big bird gradually lose its life force. He breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the little black cat, only to see gratitude in its eyes.

Lu Yuguan smiled slightly, picked up the little black cat, and said softly: "It's okay, little guy."

The little black cat meowed softly, rubbed Lu Yuguan with gratitude, and then ran away.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining civilization value * 0.2]

[Current civilization value: 0.2]

Lu Yuguan's face lit up with joy, feeling that a better life was about to begin.

"Tong-chan, I love you so much!"

System: ... corny.

After the incident that night, Lu Yuguan was exhausted. He returned to the house and fell into a deep sleep as soon as he touched the mattress.

……

In an unknown mountain range far to the west of Longhua Country, a girl with silver ornaments on her head suddenly opened her eyes.

"You can actually knock down my host eagle? That's interesting."

The girl had a slight smile on her lips, and her eyes revealed mysterious thoughts.

"As for that cat...it should still be of some use."

"Let it go for now."

……

The next day, Daiyu and Qingwen shook Lu Yuguan for a long time before waking him up.

"Young Master, you are late for the morning ceremony and you will miss breakfast. The head of the family told you to take the car directly to the Etiquette School." Daiyu was in a hurry to change Lu Yuguan's clothes.

Qingwen took out the breakfast snacks wrapped in lotus leaves from the bamboo basket on her arm and stuffed it into Lu Yuguan's arms.

"What's wrapped in this?" Lu Yuguan felt the warm lotus leaf bag in his arms and felt warm in his heart.

Without even looking up, Qingwen muttered, "Meat buns."

Lu Yuguan: ...

The three of them arrived at the gate of Bai's house and saw that Bai Doudou and others had been waiting by the carriage for a long time.

"Third Young Master, you're here!" Bai Doudou waved happily when she saw Lu Yuguan coming.

Lu Yuguan looked around and saw Bai Doudou, Bai Yueyi and Bai Kongming were all there, but Bai Ming was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is Bai Ming?" Lu Yuguan asked.

"This..." Bai Doudou scratched his head guiltily.

Bai Kongming was the more honest one. He pointed at the last carriage and said, "He's hiding in the last carriage. He said he's afraid of running into you, Third Young Master."

Lu Yuguan hummed a little tune, jumped lightly onto the carriage where Bai Ming was, and quickly lifted the curtain.

Bai Ming was seen hiding in the corner, shivering timidly.

"Good morning, second brother." Lu Yuguan greeted with a smile.

"Good morning...ah." Bai Ming looked at Lu Yuguan's big fist in horror and quickly covered his face with his hands. "What are you doing? Don't hit me in the face!"

Lu Yuguan shouted fiercely, "You know you deserve a beating, don't you? Come on, stick your butt up and let me teach you a lesson!"

“Nooooooooooooooooooo!”

Bai Yueyi listened to the tragic sounds in the carriage and could only pray silently for Bai Ming.

Who said that no one in the Bai Mansion can beat the Third Young Master now?

The carriage rumbled to the door of Lishu Hall, and Li Chonglin's carriage once again happened to meet Lu Yuguan and others.

"His Royal Highness—"

Bai Doudou was sitting in the first carriage and was about to get off to salute when he was stopped by Li Chonglin.

"No problem, no need to be so polite," Li Chonglin got out of the car and walked towards the Bai family and others, asking, "Where is your third young master? Why can't I see him?"

"He's in the back with the second young master." Bai Doudou pointed to the wobbly carriage at the end.

Li Chonglin felt curious and also jumped into the carriage and pulled open the curtain.

Lu Yuguan was holding Bai Ming tightly, and Bai Ming was twisting his body and struggling. The two of them were like crabs hugging each other, neither of them giving in.

"You guys..." Li Chonglin was speechless and didn't know what to say.

Lu Yuguan flung the lotus leaf bag in his arms at Li Chonglin's face and said, "Your Highness, please eat first. I'll talk to you after I defeat this guy!"

"Your Highness, help me!" Bai Ming just shouted, but Lu Yuguan covered his mouth again and turned over to entangle him.

Li Chonglin looked at the two childish people, then looked at the sword at his waist.

I had deep doubts about what my father said about the sword spirit furnace cauldron physique.

Dragon-patterned sword... Do you like this one?
