Chapter 271 Start preparations
An hour later.
In the restaurant, Lu Luan leaned against the window, glancing outside and looking at the street scene.
Xiao Can sat cross-legged on the table, holding his little head with both hands. Wherever he looked, it would follow.
Maybe he was bored, so he stretched out his arms and legs and rolled around on the table, yelling, "Why hasn't the food come yet? I'm starving."
"Soon." Lu Luan replied casually.
Seeing that he didn't pay much attention to him, Xiao Can got up and asked, "Brother, what are you looking at?"
Lu Luan frowned: "Think about something else."
"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Can came closer with curious eyes.
Lu Luan glanced at it softly, then looked outside, "I'm wondering what to do next?"
"Aren't you going to buy me spiritual soil next?" Xiao Can's face was filled with an embarrassed smile.
"Haha, that's right."
Lu Luan nodded slightly with a smile on his face.
"Brother, look, I've grown taller, haven't you noticed?"
Xiao Can stood straight, as if showing off to him, and was extremely happy.
"Yeah, it's definitely longer."
Lu Luan smiled unhappily, and grew from one foot tall to one foot and two inches tall.
"Brother, my body is now full of medicinal energy and my abilities have become stronger. Although the coral doesn't have much essence, it still has some spiritual charm, which is also very useful to me. After absorbing it, it can produce a lot of medicinal energy for you, so there is no need to buy spiritual soil for the time being. You should spend spiritual stones to improve your strength first."
Xiao Can added that it knew Lu Luan needed spirit stones more than it did.
"You should buy some more so that you can be more comfortable taking root in it. Besides, the original spiritual soil is of no use to you now."
As the ginseng grows bigger, its root system will certainly become more developed. It will be difficult for all the roots to move freely inside. Moreover, after such a long time, the spiritual energy inside must have been mostly sucked away.
"Thank you, bro."
Xiao Can immediately thanked him, and it seemed that he was still thinking about having more dirt to eat.
"Senior, your wine and food are here."
After a while, a beautiful woman came in with wine and food, and looked at him with awe.
She was only at the Qi Refining stage, and Lu Luan had not completely concealed his aura, appearing to be at the initial stage of Foundation Building, so she could clearly feel the intense pressure in her heart.
"let it go."
Lu Luan said calmly.
"Enjoy your meal, senior."
The woman carefully placed the wine and food on the table, bowed, and retreated, closing the door at the same time.
Although she saw the small ginseng sitting on the table, she simply filtered it out as if it were air, without any thoughts in her mind.
This is naturally Xiao Can's method. Now that he is at the Foundation Establishment stage, it is enough for some people with Qi Refining cultivation to ignore it directly.
After seeing the woman leave, it immediately jumped on the chopstick holder and took out two pairs of chopsticks. It touched its belly and said with a smile: "The food is finally here. I'm starving."
After placing a pair in front of Lu Luan, it started moving on its own, but its entire body was only slightly higher than the chopsticks in its hand, which looked extremely uncoordinated.
Lu Luan picked up the cup, poured himself a glass, took a sip and said silently: "I have broken through to the middle stage of foundation building. It will be extremely difficult for me to make further progress. I will need a huge amount of resources."
He could now clearly feel that it would be extremely difficult to make even a slight progress in his cultivation.
After taking a look at Xiao Can who was wolfing down his food on the table, he thought, "Next, I'll go sell the five demon crystals. After I've increased my physical strength to its maximum, I'll go to Tianjue Island. With Xiao Can's abilities, he can sense some of the dangers. Maybe I can get some benefits from it."
Tianjue Island is full of dangers, and various forces of heaven and earth are intertwined there. Although it is a forbidden area, there are many spiritual herbs in it.
Moreover, in the Wudu Sea, there are not many places like Tianjue Island where there are many spiritual herbs that are open to casual cultivators. Although there are some blessed places in the deep sea, they are beyond the control of cultivators and are full of monsters. If you don't have a diamond drill, you will die if you go there.
Although Tianjue Island is dangerous, it won't be a big problem as long as you don't go too deep into it. As for the demons hiding inside, with the god-slaying technique, he would like to meet a few of them. Not to mention killing them to practice his skills, even using their souls as fertilizer for the magic tree would be great.
What's more, most demon cultivators have good family backgrounds.
"Brother, cheers."
Xiao Can poured himself a glass of wine, flew in front of him and said with a smile.
Lu Luan chuckled and touched it.
Then Xiao Can raised his head and started drinking.
Finally, he was too drunk and his face turned red. He staggered on the table, then fell down and never got up again, and fell asleep.
Lu Luan shook his head and started eating and drinking.
……
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Can half-closed his eyes and vaguely sat up, seemingly still asleep. He rubbed his eyes and asked weakly, "Brother, how long have I slept?"
"Two days."
Lu Luan replied.
"What, two days?"
Xiao Can recovered immediately, opened his eyes, and found himself on the sea.
Sitting on brother's shoulders.
After looking around, he asked in confusion: "Brother, where are we going?"
"Tianli Island."
Lu Luan looked into the distance. In the past two days, he had exchanged two demon crystals for spirit stones on Lingding Island. He also bought some materials for the Innate Five Qi Art. There were not many treasures with attributes on Lingding Island that satisfied him, so he decided to go to Tianli Island to take a look.
"Are you going to be in seclusion again after this?"
Xiao Can was already very familiar with his operations and muttered speechlessly.
Lu Luan just smiled and said nothing.
Since there are still resources in hand, I naturally have to retreat and use them to improve my strength. Although I am already a master in the Hanluo Sea area at the middle stage of foundation building, it is better not to put too many spirit stones in the storage ring at any time. It is wise to convert them into strength.
After flying for a while, Tianli Island soon appeared before our eyes.
……
……
"Fellow Daoist, I am sorry for the poor hospitality. I am sorry for the poor hospitality."
Inside a tall shop on Tianli Island, an old man with a white beard smiled and bowed to him.
Lu Luan was selling demon crystals here. Originally, he was received by another person, whose cultivation was a little weak. He didn't care much about it, but after seeing him take out two demon crystals of this level, he replaced the person in charge.
This man's cultivation was also quite strong. As soon as he arrived, he knew that he was in the middle stage of foundation building, so his face became more friendly.
Lu Luan smiled and said, "Daoyou, can you give an estimate of how many spirit stones these two demon crystals are worth?"
The old man took it, with a sophisticated look in his eyes. After examining it carefully for a while, he smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, these two demon crystals are from the deep-sea yellow whale and the black-water crocodile."
"Fellow Taoist has really good eyesight."
Lu Luan replied that he actually didn't know what kind of monster these two demon crystals came from, but the other party had been running the Chamber of Commerce for many years and had seen many things, so it was normal for him to recognize them. However, Lu Luan didn't care about that. What he cared about was how many spirit stones these two demon crystals were worth.
The old man stroked his beard and looked at it for a while, then said, "This demon crystal is of very good quality. How about 430 intermediate spirit stones?"
Lu Luan frowned and shook his head, saying, "My friend, this is a bit inappropriate. We need to add this number."
He held up two fingers.
Although he didn't know what kind of monster this demon crystal came from, he had a rough idea of its value. Twenty intermediate spirit stones were not a small amount, enough to buy Xiao Can a lot of good things.
These two demon crystals are the best among the five and are worth this amount.
The old man said, "The demonic energy in the demon crystal is deeply rooted and difficult to remove, so it is naturally slightly depreciated." After he finished speaking, he paused and said seriously, "But these twenty intermediate spirit stones are just to make friends with you, so four hundred and fifty is four hundred and fifty."
"Fellow Daoist, you are so polite. I have asked several chambers of commerce, and you are the one who is easy to talk to and offers the highest price. My last name is Lu, and I have decided to make friends with you. By the way, I still don't know how to address you as a friend?"
Lu Luan chuckled and bowed.
"Lin Wu, our Chamber of Commerce has been established for a long time and has always had a good reputation," the old man was also very happy.
"Friend Lin is older, so I'll just call him Brother Lin."
"You are too polite, Mr. Lu. If there are any treasures in the future, I will definitely not take advantage of you."
"It's natural."
"My dear Lu, do you want to sell any treasures?"
Lin Wu put down the demon crystal and looked at him with a smile.
Fellow Daoist Lu showed a bitter expression and shook his head, saying, "How can there be so many treasures? But I would like to see if there is any spiritual medicine that I need from Brother Lin."
"Don't worry, my friend Lu. Our Chamber of Commerce has everything you need. I don't know what kind of spiritual herbs you need. I will arrange for my men to transfer them immediately."
Then Lu Luan told him what he needed.
Those on the shelves in the store are naturally not available, so you need to wait for a while.
During this time, the two began to chat and talk about their experiences, and their friendship seemed to be growing stronger.
He didn't have to wait any longer, a quarter of an hour later.
"Friend Lu, are you satisfied?"
In front of the two of them, there were dozens of spiritual medicines of various sizes placed there, each of which had astonishing spiritual charm.
Lu Luan took a look and was a little disappointed with most of them.
Although these elixirs are good things, they are not very suitable for practicing the Innate Five Qi Technique, and the effects are not very obvious.
“These two things are pretty good.”
He picked up a piece of dark green ancient jade, which gave people a very cold and comfortable feeling in his hand. With his other hand, he picked up a piece of Poria cocos with black and yellowish spots, which had a heavy scent.
Lin Wu said, "Friend Lu, you have a good eye. This dark water jade is very rare. Wearing it close to your body can help you clear your mind and reduce the risk of going astray. It's a once in a lifetime treasure. And the black earth yam is also a rare treasure..."
Lu Luan tossed the jade in his hand and asked, "Brother Lin, how many spirit stones are these two items worth? They are quite suitable for me."
Lin Wu did not answer him first, but first explained its origin: "Daoyou Lu, this jade is..."
After a long while, he finished talking and said meaningfully: "This jade and poria cocos are extraordinary, and can be used to refine top-grade elixirs, so they are not cheap."
"Go ahead."
"A total of four hundred and thirty intermediate spirit stones."
"Can't it be less?"
Lin Wu shook his head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I really can't do this."
Lu Luan showed a barely perceptible smile and sighed, "Brother Lin, you and I are friends, why are you still being so distant? Can't you give me a friendly price? If you make it an even number, I'll treat you to a drink some other day."
Now he is in urgent need of spirit stones, so he might as well cut them down. Although this approach is not in line with his cultivation, he doesn't care.
In fact, with their level of cultivation, the value of some treasures can be seen at a glance, so he seldom bargained when buying things because he couldn't do so. But now that he has acknowledged a big brother, he can't "acknowledge" him in vain.
Lin Wu was stunned. It was he who first mentioned that they had known each other before, so Lu Luan also agreed. After thinking for a while, he was embarrassed to refuse due to the business relationship, so he said bitterly: "Just do as you say, little friend Lu, but don't tell outsiders when you go out, otherwise the leader will know and will be angry with me."
"Thank you so much, Brother Lin."
Lu Luan immediately thanked him with a smile, with some surprise in his eyes. He was just trying it out, but he didn't expect that Lin Wu would actually agree.
After a few more polite words, he put away the two spiritual objects and left.
Continue to collect things that satisfy you on the surrounding islands.
