Chapter 148 Benefits of Core Disciples

Lu Luan smiled, and the next moment, a sharp light flashed from his eyes. The runes on his body began to shine, and an indestructible layer of defense appeared!

He didn't plan to use any magic, he wanted to try... close combat!

"Roar!"

Just as he finished his words, a huge monster covered with spikes slowly appeared in front of him from the rolling yellow sand.

Roaring ferociously.

"Roar!"

"kill!"

After their eyes met, the two collided with each other.

……

Deep underground.

Somewhere in a dark environment filled with evil spirits.

"Master, it's settled."

A demon general with a ghostly howl all over his body knelt on one knee and said in the cave.

In the pool of blood.

The man with his eyes closed and half of his body rotting suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes.

On the top of the mountain where snowflakes are flying.

In Baixueping, two white-haired old men quietly looked at the beautiful white mountains and rivers in front of them.

"Master, are the Taixu Sect and Haoqi Sword Sect really planning to withdraw?"

Liu Rufeng asked softly.

"One Lingkun blessed land is not enough, they actually plan to take our Ziling Cave Heaven." Huang Shigong said coldly.

"How greedy." Liu Rufeng's eyes were cold.

Zi Ling Cave is where the Zheng Yang Sect was founded, and all kinds of spiritual herbs and treasures are produced in it. Once the owner changes hands, there is no need for the Demon Sect to take action. After a few decades, the sect will decline and will naturally be swallowed up.

The world of cultivating immortals is very realistic. The Demon Sect is attacking your Zhengyang Sect. If you don’t give benefits, who would be willing to sacrifice and bleed for you?

"Don't they understand the principle of losing one's lips and teeth?"

Liu Rufeng found it a little unbelievable.

"Even if the lips are gone, the teeth may still be cold, but they may not really sit back and do nothing. They are testing our bottom line so that we can discuss conditions," Huang Shigong sighed helplessly and with a vicissitudes of life tone.

"What about Changge Valley?" Liu Rufeng asked again.

"Changge Valley is still supporting us, but it is only supporting us in terms of training resources. They have no intention of sending any experts from the sect."

"Among the four major sects, if Changge Valley can control the internal divisions, it should be the most powerful. If they can send out experts, we won't have such a hard time."

"Alas, this is also the excuse that the two sects say they don't want to intervene anymore," Huang Shigong sighed and said, "The ancestor will pass away soon. In order to prevent us from not being able to survive, I plan to select a group of talented disciples to take the inheritance away first."

"We can only prepare for the worst now." Liu Rufeng nodded, agreeing with the decision. No matter what the result is, let's leave some fire first.

……

Five days later.

"drink!"

Lu Luan shouted softly, and his iron fist fell down. In an instant, a large amount of monster blood spurted out.

The three-meter-tall monster roared unwillingly and finally fell to the ground with a bang!

As soon as Lu Luan landed on the ground, the scene around him changed and returned to its original state. He, who was clearly covered in the blood of monsters just now, now became clean.

Recalling the battle just now, Lu Luan looked at his fist and chuckled, "Sure enough, fists are the most effective. With one punch from me now, ordinary people at the ninth level of Qi Refining will be seriously injured."

After five days of hard training, he gained his own unique understanding of bare-handed fighting.

After calculating the time and looking back, he said, "Today is the day to go to the Core Hall to collect resources. We can't be late."

After saying that, he packed up and left. He had spent most of the past five days in this tower practicing his dragon power.

"I wonder when Xiaoxi will be back?"

After flying into the air, Lu Luan couldn't help but look outside the sect.

"It should be soon."

After saying this, he went to the core hall.

"Huh? Weird, why are there only a few core disciples here?"

As soon as he landed outside the hall, he discovered something different. Although the core disciples were few in number, there shouldn't be only a hundred or so here, and most of them were ordinary spiritual root people who had become core disciples a few days ago.

"Are the core disciples usually so arrogant? They are so negligent when it comes to receiving cultivation resources? Or am I too early?" He walked towards the crowd with doubts in his heart.

"Brother Lu, you are here."

As soon as he arrived, Song Ling greeted him.

"Senior Brother Song, you're here early." Lu Luan replied.

After not seeing each other for a few days, he found that the sword intent in Song Ling's eyes had become much more refined. It seemed that the inheritance he obtained had brought him considerable benefits.

"It's not too early to get the good stuff." Song Ling chuckled, and then said: "Brother Lu's aura is getting stronger, I guess his strength has improved again."

"Isn't it the same for Senior Brother Song?"

With nothing to do, the two began chatting.

Time passed slowly, but not many core disciples arrived.

Lu Luan's eyes became more and more confused. He initially thought that it was because he came too early.

Of course, he was not the only one who had this idea. Soon, someone whispered, "Did the core disciples of Huang Linggen also do this before?"

"That's not the case. Those with good talents have been taken to the caves for training by the sect."

someone replied.

“So they went into the cave.” Lu Luan understood. It must be that the disciples who went there must be those with huge potential. They should be trained well and break through to the foundation-building stage as soon as possible. Only in this way will their cultivation have more room for improvement.

When people reach a certain age, their energy and spirit will begin to dry up and decay. If they cannot break through to the foundation-building stage before the age of fifty, their bodies will go downhill and it will become increasingly difficult to break through, or even become impossible.

The same is true for the Jindan realm. If you can't break through to the Jindan realm before the age of one hundred and fifty, there will be no hope for the rest. The lifespan for foundation building is two hundred years, and for a half-step Jindan it is two hundred and fifty years. Although there is still time in the future, it will be very difficult to maintain your cultivation and not let it fall, let alone a breakthrough?

If you want to make further progress after a breakthrough, it is naturally better to break through as early as possible. For example, even if you have broken through to the foundation-building stage at around the age of 50, you no longer have any potential. Under normal circumstances, it is already very good if you can reach the peak of the early stage of foundation-building.

Many elders in the sect are like this.

After waiting for a while, several elders accompanied Feng Fei over.

Everyone began to walk in in an orderly manner.

Since he was in the front, he only had to wait for a short while before it was Lu Luan's turn.

After arriving at a small pavilion, Lu Luan bowed to the 40-year-old woman in front of him and said, "Disciple Lu Luan, greetings to the elder."

“No need to be so polite.” The elder nodded to him, then waved his hand, and three things appeared on the table.

When Lu Luan saw it, he couldn't help but look surprised. This was actually a treasure with the attributes of earth, gold, and wood.

The elder said slowly: "Your technique should be to use the five internal organs to practice the five elements, but right now the two strongest fluctuations in your body are fire and water. These three things can balance the five internal organs in your body. You have inherited the power of the great dragon, so if you want to quickly improve your strength, you must train your body."

Lu Luan asked, "Elder, what about my Qi Refining skills? If my Qi Refining skills cannot be improved, there won't be much room for improvement in my physical body."

The elder said, "Of course you can't fall behind in Qi training, but your spiritual roots are relatively weak, so you can't rush for a breakthrough. It takes a certain amount of time to settle, otherwise it will hurt your spiritual roots. For the next two months, you should focus on training your physical body, and then try to break through after you have reached the limit. You have received the inheritance, and the sect will not be stingy with resources."

"Thank you, elder!"

Lu Luan bowed.

The elder asked, "How is your magical power cultivation going? You can also practice your magical power during this period of time."

Lu Luan answered honestly, "I practiced the Mountain Shaking Fist, the Five Elements Sword Controlling Technique, and a side technique of the Six Qi, called the Six Evil Diseases Technique. However, this magical power requires the Six Evil Qi to progress."

The elder shook his head slightly after hearing this, frowned and said: "Except for the Six Qi Technique, the others are not qualified. This will affect your ability to display your strength."

Lu Luan's face was full of bitterness. The other party was looking at him as a disciple with yellow spiritual roots.

"There is no need to practice the other two skills. It's just a waste of time. I see you want to use the sword. There is a magical skill on the white jade pillar in the core hall that is most suitable for you. It is called the heavy sword technique, which is a yellow-level secret technique. You can go to the Xuanyuan Hall to absorb the three treasures. It can save you a lot of time. This is my seal. Take it with you and you can go."

As the elder spoke, he presented him with a seal.

"Thank you, elder."

Lu Luan bowed respectfully again to express his gratitude.

"From now on, at the beginning, middle, and end of every month, there will be inner sect elders or even true sect elders who will lecture on the sutras and answer your questions..."

After listening to the elder's detailed instructions for a while, he took the treasure and went out.

"Is this the treatment of core disciples?"

After walking out of the hall, Lu Luan's eyes were a little dazed. This was too thoughtful. It was totally different from other disciples. It was true that children born by their own mothers were different. Everything was planned for you.

However, this also has some disadvantages, that is, the disciples will not have any secrets. Of course, in front of these strong people, no one can hide any secrets as long as they are willing.

After looking at the storage bag, Lu Luan said silently in his heart: "These three treasures are very valuable. After absorbing them, my physical strength will definitely be further improved. I will practice the Xiantian Five Qi Jue first. After the physical body is perfected, I will practice the heavy sword technique!"

After making up his mind, he flew to a palace standing on the mountainside not far away.

"Does this disciple have the elder's seal?"

As he walked to the door, an elder stopped him.

"My disciples do."

Lu Luan opened his hand and took out the seal.

After the elder took it and confirmed that it was correct, he warned: "There are elders and some core disciples in Xuanyuan Hall who are practicing in seclusion. Remember not to disturb them. You are only in the eighth level of Qi Refining, so you can only practice in the yellow-level secret room. Do you understand?"

"Disciple understands."

Lu Luan said respectfully.

"Go in." The elder nodded.

"Thank you, elder."

After Lu Luan thanked him, he walked in.

This place is not as dark as the Tianlei Tower and the Huanxu Tower. After walking in, what catches your eye is a spiritual lake with a few lotus plants growing in it. In the lake, there are all kinds of strange-shaped and glowing fish playing and playing.

He looked surprised, because these fish were not ordinary creatures, each one was a rare treasure from heaven and earth, and stewing them would improve one's cultivation.

"The spiritual energy in here is also a little different, it is more pure than outside, practicing here will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort," Lu Luan felt something strange and said to himself. After taking a casual look around, he began to search along the corridor.

Soon, he found an empty yellow-level secret room and walked in.

"let's start."

Lu Luan sat cross-legged in the air, took out the three treasures, and practiced the Innate Five Qi Technique to absorb the essence of their attributes.

Three auras were seen emanating from the treasure and finally entering his body. The surrounding spiritual energy seemed to have a promoting effect, and his martial arts skills were running much faster than usual.

After feeling this change, Lu Luan couldn't help but think, "It's really strange."

Time just passes by little by little.

Outside the hut.

A graceful figure in green fell from the sky. It was Lin Xi. It seemed that she had returned after her training.

"I finally made a breakthrough. Senior Brother Lu will be very happy if he knows about this."

Lin Xi excitedly walked towards the crack at the side, and couldn't wait to tell her senior brother Lu the news.

She knew that Lu Luan usually practiced in here.

Her realm has been broken through. It seems that she has gained a lot from this trip.

Lin Xi walked lightly, as if he was afraid of suddenly disturbing Lu Luan's practice.

"Where is Senior Brother Lu?"

But she searched everywhere inside and outside but didn't see anyone.

Lin Xi first sat at the table under the tree out of boredom, propping up his head with his hands, counting the falling leaves and waiting for a while. When he saw the sunset in the sky had fallen, he finally couldn't help but say:

"Let's go out and look for him. He hasn't come back yet so late. Could he be with someone..." She couldn't help but think wildly in her mind, so she finally couldn't help but go out with the beads to look for him.

"Ancestor, is it that little girl?"

But she didn't know that on the top of the mountain in the distance, a woman and an old man were silently looking at her.

……

……

half a month later.

"call……"

In the secret room, Lu Luan opened his eyes and said in disbelief, "I didn't expect it to be absorbed so quickly. If it were outside, it would probably take at least a month."

After clenching his fist and feeling it, he showed a gleam of light in his eyes and smiled, "The five elements in my body are balanced, my physical body is perfect, and my strength has increased a lot. Now if I fight in close combat, I can completely defeat someone who is at the ninth level of Qi Refining."

"But I am already so strong with only a second-class inheritance, what about those who have obtained first-class or ultimate-class inheritance?"

Lu Luan couldn't help but ask himself.

"Haha, need I say more? That person must be stronger than me."

After shaking his head and chuckling, he thought of something and frowned, "I wonder if Xiaoxi is back?"

After saying this, he immediately put away his restless heart and walked quickly outside.

After all, more than half a month has passed, and if you calculate the time, it’s almost time.

Soon, he flew back outside the cabin.

"Not here yet?"

Seeing that there was no one there, he frowned, then pushed the door and walked in. But after seeing a piece of cloth paper on the table, he smiled slightly. It seemed that he had returned, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When he walked to the table and saw the contents on it, he was surprised and then surprised.

The above content is roughly about being selected by the sect and receiving the inheritance.

Lu Luan couldn't help but said excitedly: "Xiao Xi's talent is similar to mine, and the blood in her body is also good. She has great potential, so there will be no problem for her to inherit the legacy."

He didn't expect that Lin Xi actually had this opportunity.

"Haha, from now on, we are all core disciples," Lu Luan said with a smile, then looked outside: "The inheritance should take a long time, it seems that I won't see you for a while, well, let's practice the heavy sword technique first."

After saying that, he flew back to the core hall.

Lu Luan was very much looking forward to this secret technique. As the name suggests, the heavy sword technique means "heavy", which is indeed the most suitable for his current body.

Now that he is possessed by that layer of runes, he has no worries in close combat. Holding a heavy sword and performing the Shadow Flow Technique is definitely the perfect combination!

Close combat, a deadly weapon!
