A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 666: Retreat

Time passed slowly.

The next step is to absorb the exotic matter in these areas.

After seeing the green spider go to another place to patrol its territory, he increased the speed of absorption. When the green spider approached, he restrained his breath and stopped. Because he was careful enough, everything went very smoothly.

However, as time went by, because most of the strange energy was snatched away by him, the growth of spiritual herbs within a radius of more than ten miles began to weaken and wither. So in order not to be noticed as abnormal, he would move to a new location every ten days or so and did not stay in one place for too long.

Although it is a bit troublesome, the chance of being discovered is greatly reduced.

He just hid quietly in this forbidden area. With Lin Yun refining puppets for him, it was more than enough for him to consume.

Judging from the feeling coming from the spiritual fetus, the thing that was sensing it was two hundred miles underground.

Lu Luan also tried to control the puppet worm to dig downwards, but there were too many restrictions inside, layer upon layer, wrapped tightly. Although they were not very strong, it would not be difficult for him to break them, but the fluctuations caused by breaking them would be too great. These restrictions were intertwined with each other, and one move would affect a hundred, so they could not be hidden at all.

A month passed.

Two months passed.

Half a year has passed.

Although Lu Luan absorbed a lot of this strange energy, his aura did not change. Instead, the spiritual fetus in his body became more and more dazzling.

The transformation occurs little by little, and when it is completed, it will be the time of breakthrough. At that time, his physical strength will surge and erupt like magma.

He had a feeling that within a few years, he would be able to break through.

It's calm outside.

......

Fairyland.

In a sea with floating mountains, clouds are rising and the bright moon is hanging high in the sky.

Inside a bright palace building, a woman and an old man were sitting opposite each other.

The old man stroked his long beard and looked at the green tortoise shell in his hand with white eyes. With a wave of his hand, a mist like water vapor appeared on the tortoise shell. However, in this mist, there was a faint light flickering, revealing a mystery.

After a while, the tortoise shell returned to its original appearance.

"how?"

The woman asked.

The old man said thoughtfully: "I figured it out. The opportunity happened to appear at this time. It seems to be related to Kunlun's will this time."

The woman frowned when she heard the voice, "Are you sure?"

"These things involve the secrets of heaven. I can't be sure. I can only guess."

"Thank you, Elder Zhang."

The woman thanked him.

“Elder Ziyun, this girl has no talent and her journey has already ended. You have been so relentless in paving the way for her and the price you have paid is too high. Be careful that in the end, you may end up with nothing.” The old man said earnestly.

"I did this for my own reasons."

The woman's eyes were trembling and very deep.

"That's fine."

The old man shook his head and turned away.

The woman sat quietly in the hall, walking in deep thought.

After a while.

"Master, what is your purpose for calling me here?"

A figure in green clothes gently pushed open the door, bowed to a woman in the hall and asked.

The woman turned around and said, "A race from the outside world has decided to join the immortal path. The Kunlun envoy has come and asked us from the Haoyue Sect to preach the gospel to help them transform and learn immortal methods, and to resist the counterattacks of several surrounding demon tribes."

"Master, do you want me to go too?" the woman asked, frowning.

The woman nodded slightly. "Yes, you have never been able to take the last step on your path. Your cultivation has been stuck for more than 20 years and you can't make any further progress. I just asked Elder Zhang to tell you a fortune. Just like when you went to the small secret realm before, there is an opportunity for you to complete the last step in that race."

The woman frowned and hesitated, then asked, "Master, what is the last step?"

The woman turned around and said in an erratic voice: "You have to experience this yourself. When the time is right, everything will fall into place naturally. When you take the first step, your path will be complete and your cultivation will be unstoppable."

The woman lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking. After a while, she cupped her hands and said, "Disciple understands."

"Go and prepare yourself. The outside world is dangerous. Take this thing with you." After the woman finished speaking, a green light appeared in her hand and then floated into the woman's hand.

"Thank you, Master. I will take my leave now."

The woman in green bowed and turned away.

......

No sea crossing.

A handsome young man appeared on the sea, walking on the waves for several miles at a time.

His whereabouts were like a ghost, and only a trail of afterimages could be seen.

Soon, an island appeared at the end of the sea.

Seeing this, the young man said to himself, "I wonder if my brother has ever come back."

He took a step forward and appeared on the island.

He wanted to get closer, but was blocked by a formation.

The young man had a puzzled look in his eyes: "Strange, when did Jianyang Sect have such a powerful formation?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several disciples appeared in front of him and asked respectfully, "I wonder what important matter has brought you to our Jianyang Sect?"

"You guys step back first."

Just as they finished talking, two figures appeared beside them.

"Yes, Headmaster."

After several disciples bowed respectfully, they turned and left.

"Brother Zhou, it's me."

After seeing Zhou Bufan coming, the young man scratched his head and said.

"Xiao Can, have you grown so big?"

Zhou Bufan looked at the young man in front of him with surprise. The last time they met, he was still a little kid several dozen inches tall with a baby voice.

"Master Zhou, who is this fellow Taoist?"

The old man next to him asked with a smile, squinting his eyes.

Zhou Bufan seemed to feel extremely oppressed, and his face was a little uncomfortable, but he still introduced: "This is the disciple accepted by Elder Lu, who has returned from traveling."

Xiao Can carefully looked at the old man in front of him, feeling that he was unfathomable, so he bowed with a serious face and said, "Junior Lu Can, greetings to the senior."

"Lu Can, is your surname Lu?"

The old man had a kind face and said to Zhou Bufan, "Master Zhou, your Jianyang Sect is really full of talents. There are six-qi practitioners who have reached the late stage of foundation building at such a young age. My Xuanling Sect doesn't even have many such outstanding disciples."

"Senior, are you an elder of Xuanling Sect?"

Xiaocan asked.

The old man smiled and nodded: "Not bad."

"Xuanling Sect, I heard from my brother that it is the strongest immortal sect in Wudu Sea."

"Daoist Lu Can, isn't your brother with you?"

The old man glanced at Zhou Bufan and asked Xiao Can with a smile.

"My brother and I separated long ago when we were in the Desolate Territory." After saying that, he turned to Zhou Bufan and said, "Brother Zhou, has my brother ever come back in these years?"

Zhou Bufan glanced at the old man next to him and forced a smile, "Junior Brother Lu came back once, but he has left now."

"Daoist Fellow Lu Can, please come in and sit for a while."

The old man said.

Looking at him and then at Zhou Bufan, Xiao Can felt something was wrong.

……

Outland.

In the cave.

In a secret forest of giant trees, the ground moved slightly.

A green spider crawled up.

It's the Green Spider Puppet.

Amid the ringing of the bell, Lu Luan opened his eyes and murmured, "It's time to change places."

After saying that, he controlled the Green Spider Puppet and crawled to another place.

The place where he was practicing now, the strange underground energy within a dozen miles around had begun to become thinner, and he had to keep changing positions to prevent the Green Spider from noticing anything unusual.
