A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 746 The Second Woman in His Arms

Once one embarks on the path of cultivation, day and night are actually completely meaningless. He originally planned to continue on his journey, but Lin Qingxue said that she was tired and asked to rest.

While waiting, he was busy with these things and didn't look tired at all.

"Brother Lu, why are you looking at me like that?"

Lin Qingxue said speechlessly, and then gestured with the barbecue in her hand: "It's not cooked yet, you have to wait a while."

"You've reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, and you still like to eat this?"

Lu Luan said.

"What's wrong with the eighth level of Qi Refining? Cultivating immortals must also have some worldly flavor to be interesting. Otherwise, you'll just be practicing in seclusion every day, feeling cold and emotionless, with your mouth and tongue having no other use except for talking?" Lin Qingxue retorted.

Lu Luan didn't want to say anything more. He was over a hundred years old, so why would he bother to compete with her?

Ever since he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage and was able to practice fasting, he has hardly eaten anything with a smell of fireworks. Whenever he has free time, he would practice in seclusion. Just as Lin Qingxue said, the whole day is too boring.

"Brother Lu, this is for you."

After a while, Lin Qingxue handed him the roasted golden-brown animal leg.

"I baked it. It should taste good. Want to try it?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Luan slowly took it.

Take small bites and chew slowly.

"How about it?"

Lin Qingxue came over and asked expectantly.

"good."

"nice! You love it."

Although it was just a short two-word reply, Lin Qingxue was extremely happy.

Noticing that he looked a little restrained, Lin Qingxue looked at him strangely and said, "Brother Lu, is this the first time a girl has been so nice to you?"

Lu Luan did not answer, but remained silent, his eyes revealing his thoughts.

Seeing that his expression was a little strange, Lin Qingxue, who was sitting next to him, said softly, "Brother Lu, what's wrong with you?" like a child who had made a mistake.

Lu Luan came back to his senses and smiled: "Nothing, the meat is well roasted."

"That's the skill I learned from my grandfather and father when we went out to gain experience."

Lin Qingxue tasted her own barbecue.

As the hope of the family, Lin Xiaoshan and Lin Feng would often personally escort her to the mountains to kill monsters and gain experience.

Suddenly thinking of something, Lin Qingxue turned to look at him: "Brother Lu, you weren't there at that time, were you?"

"I'm practicing, I don't have the free time."

"I don't believe it." Lin Qingxue shook her head.

"By the way, your cultivation is so high. I heard from my grandfather that when you were still living in Lancheng, the area around Lancheng has suddenly become much safer since I was born. There was even a demon cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core who died, which attracted many forces to move here. Did you do it?" she asked suspiciously.

"Eat your barbecue, why ask so many questions?"

After speaking, he continued: "After you finish eating, I will remove the seal on your spiritual roots, so that you should be able to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining soon."

"Unlock the seal?"

"Brother Lu, is everything you said this morning true?"

Lin Qingxue stood up with disbelief in her eyes. She thought Lu Luan was joking at the time.

"Really, you have a mid-level Xuan-level spiritual root, and there is a great hope that you can break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"You...really didn't lie to me?"

"No."

Lu Luan looked serious.

"Then can I become as strong as you?" Lin Qingxue could hardly hide her excitement.

"easy."

"You didn't lie to me?"

"No, you do have a mid-level Xuan-level spiritual root, and it's a very good one. As long as your Dao heart is not broken, there is a great hope that you can break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and it is not impossible to go further."

Lu Luan said truthfully.

The size of the ocean will give birth to the size of the fish. Now on Cangming Star, the strongest spiritual root that the human race's destiny can give birth to is the upper-grade Xuan level. If one day, the human race can assimilate all the races on Cangming Star, the destiny will reach its maximum. By then, it should be able to give birth to the legendary earth-level spiritual roots.

Lin Qingxue's current qualifications are not the best, but they are among the best.

"Not fake?"

Lin Qingxue's heart was boiling.

No one could quickly accept such a huge leap from the middle yellow level to the middle black level. Moreover, she knew the importance of this level of spiritual roots.

"real."

Unconsciously, he had finished the monster meat in his hand. Seeing that Lin Qingxue was still in a daze, he clapped his hands and said, "It tastes good. Take another piece."

"Brother Lu, here you go."

Lin Qingxue quickly handed over the barbecue in her hand.

Lu Luan let go and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Lin Qingxue sat next to him, eating in small bites while looking at him happily with her head tilted towards the side.

After eating, he began to remove the seal for her.

……

Half an hour passed.

Lin Qingxue sat cross-legged beside the fire, while Lu Luan stood behind her, tapping her back with his fingers.

One after another, restrictions that sealed her spiritual roots flew out from her body. With each restriction that was removed, the true energy in her sea of ​​​​qi surged a little more.

When the last restriction leaves the body.

A colorful light suddenly bloomed from Lin Qingxue's Qi sea.

Immediately afterwards, the true Qi behind the body began to stir and roll, and the aura continued to spread around.

At the moment the seal was released, Lin Qingxue's realm also went up, breaking through the bottleneck and reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining.

This is already the peak of the eighth level, which is expected.

Lu Luan sat beside her and watched her calm down little by little.

Soon.

Lin Qingxue regained her composure, opened her eyes, and looked at her palm in disbelief, "I have broken through already? It feels easier than breaking through from the second level to the third level of Qi Refining. There is no shackles at all."

"If your spiritual roots had not been sealed, your cultivation level would at least surpass your mother's." Lu Luan said.

"I really have a mid-level Xuan-level spiritual root, oh my god."

Lin Qingxue couldn't adapt for a moment. The joke turned out to be real, so she asked anxiously: "Brother Lu, when can I reach your strength?"

"With my strength, it's a little difficult, but for you, it's a matter of time." Lu Luan added firewood to the fire.

"By the time I reach your level of strength, Brother Lu will probably be even stronger." Lin Qingxue felt that the time was long gone and she couldn't help but feel frustrated.

Lu Luan shook his head. “That’s not necessarily true. With our level of cultivation, if we encounter shackles, it’s possible that we’ll stay where we are for a hundred or two hundred years.”

What he said was the truth. The higher the realm one reaches, the more difficult it is to break through. If he had not happened to find the trace of that kind of five elements treasure in the blue-eyed fox clan, it would not have been so easy to break through to the middle stage of the golden elixir. Otherwise, it is really possible that he would be stuck at the peak of the early stage for dozens or even hundreds of years.

Although I have the talent now, it is not easy to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Among ten Jindan peak cultivators under the age of 250, not necessarily one can break through to the Yuanying realm. The younger the age, the greater the chance of breaking through. Those who can break through to the Yuanying realm have basically reached the peak of the late Jindan stage before the age of 200. After preparing for decades, they will have a certain degree of confidence. If they fail to break through when their physical condition is at its peak, there is usually no hope after the age of 250.

"I will work hard to cultivate and catch up with Brother Lu as soon as possible."

Lin Qingxue raised her fist to cheer herself up.

"Well, I'm full now. Let's practice first. We have to travel tomorrow."

Lu Luan planned to practice. After flying for a day, his magic power was slightly consumed.

"Let's chat for a while. I have a lot of things to ask you about cultivation."

Lin Qingxue is not in a hurry to practice now, but wants to chat for a while.

"Go ahead."

Lu Luan was helpless.

"Why have you stayed by my side for so many years?" Lin Qingxue looked at him with big eyes, very curious and ignorant.

"Isn't it a problem of cultivation?" Lu Luan frowned. This was not easy to answer.

“That should count.”

"No."

Lu Luan did not intend to tell her about the past right now, so as not to affect her spiritual faith.

"Then what did you take out of my Purple Palace?"

"You don't need to know for now. I will tell you later."

Since it has been decided to let her go to Pengling Sect, such a big immortal sect, the matters concerning the gods' things must not be exposed at all.

"Then why did you seal my spiritual roots?" Lin Qingxue squatted in front of him.

"That can't be said."

"Then please tell me about your sect's affairs. It doesn't make sense to pass the teachings down to males but not females." Lin Qingxue racked her brains to eavesdrop.

"No other questions?"

Lu Luan felt a bit overwhelmed.

"Where have you traveled? I've been in Hengyun City the whole time, and I don't know much about the outside world. Tell me some interesting things you've experienced, that should be okay, right?"

Seeing that she couldn't get any information out of him, Lin Qingxue finally chose to say something normal.

"That's fine."

There was nothing wrong with talking about experiences, and he could also take the opportunity to pass on some of his experiences to her, so the two of them sat by the fire in the cave and chatted about this.

When talking about interesting things, Lin Qingxue's laughter could be heard from time to time.

……

Time passed quickly and the day broke.

"Let's go."

Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Luan stood up first.

Lin Qingxue followed reluctantly, looking at the rising sun, muttering, "How come it's getting light so soon?"

The two of them flew into the air and quickly disappeared over the horizon.

As the Wilderness has begun to become chaotic, strong men from foreign races and various sects have gathered at the border. In order to prevent accidents on the way, Lu Luan chose to travel from a place near the center of the Wilderness, and then cross the Wilderness to the location of the mountain gate of Pengling Sect.

As long as you don't reveal your demonic aura and don't get close to where cultivators gather, there will be basically no danger.

Along the way, stop and go.

Fortunately, we were cautious enough and everything was calm.

In this way, through wind, frost, rain and snow, half a year had passed unknowingly.

They finally arrived safely at Pengling Sect's sphere of influence.

With Lu Luan's flying speed, it would have taken him three to two months to get there, but due to Lin Qingxue's delay, it took him half a year.

In the early morning, in the mountains, two figures were looming in the morning light.

"We are now near Peng Ling Sect. Not far ahead, there should be a place where Peng Ling Sect recruits disciples."

Lu Luan's pace unconsciously began to slow down. He spoke slowly in a light and deep voice, looking at the figure next to him with complicated eyes.

Over the past six months, they have traveled through mountains and rivers, and slept in the open air together. This is the few free times he has. Now, the closer they are to Pengling Sect, the more reluctant he feels to leave.

It is less than 300,000 miles away from Pengling Sect.

As if she had sensed the impending separation, Lin Qingxue spoke much less during this period and often looked depressed.

Half a year has passed, and her cultivation has improved rapidly. She has now reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining. If she hadn't spent most of her time on the road, her level would have been even higher.

"Oh."

Lin Qingxue just said "oh" softly and lowered her head.

After a moment of silence, Lu Luan said, "I can only send you to the place where they recruit disciples. As for Pengling Sect, you can only go alone."

"why?"

Lin Qingxue immediately looked at him.

"I have important things to do and can't delay any longer." Lu Luan explained.

"So when can we meet again?"

Lin Qingxue scratched the shirt at her side with her fingers. She was already eighteen years old. She was no longer the ignorant little girl she used to be. She knew what it meant to be a cultivator at Lu Luan's level.

We say goodbye now, and we may not see each other again for decades.

"When will we see you again?"

Lu Luan had a thought in his mind and looked up at the sky. He didn't know when they would meet again. At this moment, he actually wanted to keep her by his side.

But thinking about where he was going next, he closed his eyes slightly and said soothingly:

"I will come to Pengling Sect after I finish dealing with things."

"Then you must come!"

Lin Qingxue stared at him closely.

Lu Luan was stunned. In a trance, he seemed to see the scene before Linglong's reincarnation, saying to himself, "You must wake me up."

But he broke his promise and did not awaken her memory, which made him feel deeply guilty. Whenever he thought of Shangguan Linglong, his chest ached slightly.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lin Qingxue's eyes gradually became moist.

"Hold him."

Suddenly, for some unknown reason, a distant woman's low moan came from deep in my heart, like a dream, lingering in my ears. I had a particularly familiar illusion that if I didn't make this decision, I would lose something very important.

Lin Qingxue bit her thin lips lightly, then rushed forward suddenly.

Lu Luan was in a trance.

Then I felt a fragrance hitting my body.

Look down.

It was Lin Qingxue who was hugging him tightly with her head buried in her chest.

Shangguan Linglong did what she didn't have the courage to do.

"You'll come find me, won't you?"

Lin Qingxue looked up at him, eyes sparkling, asking for a promise.

At this moment, this expression is exactly the same as Shangguan Linglong's.

When he saw it, it was as if Shangguan Linglong had returned.

Lu Luan nodded first, then slowly raised his hands, put one hand on her waist and the other on her head, and hugged her. This was the second woman he had hugged into his arms.

Then he said, “I will.”

The voice was very soft, but extremely firm, leaving no doubt.

He felt deeply guilty for not doing what he promised to Shangguan Linglong. This hug meant that he had to fulfill his promise to Lin Qingxue!

The moment he agreed, the illusory gears of fate had unknowingly begun to turn in another direction.
