A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 134 Earth Fire Demon Lotus

"There is still more than half a year left. We cannot slack off and strive to reach the peak of the eighth level, or even the ninth level if possible." He Fengtian said again.

"Ninefold?"

Lu Luan shook his head. It is not so easy to break through to the later stages of the realm. Even with the help of treasures, it still takes a certain amount of time to accumulate. Without the right opportunity, there will be no breakthrough.

"Hurry up." He Fengtian said.

Lin Xi also stepped forward and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Lu, just focus on improving your cultivation."

"Yeah," Lu Luan nodded.

Then they started chatting about other things.

But not long after, his and Lin Xi's badges suddenly lit up.

"Does the sect have another mission?" Lu Luan frowned and put the badge on his forehead.

"What's going on?" He Fengtian asked with some concern.

After a while, Lu Luan said in confusion, "The sect is planning to arrange a big competition. It's strange. Why do they want to do this during this tense moment?"

He Fengtian said: "This is to test your strength and see how you have improved."

"Well, it's just that everyone must participate." Lu Luan shook his head and sighed. He didn't want to waste time on the competition. Although there would be rewards for getting a good ranking, didn't he need the reward of a few hundred spirit stones now?

Lin Xi said: "Senior Brother Lu, you should be able to get a good ranking."

Lu Luan chuckled and said nothing, thinking: "I'll just deal with it casually when the time comes."

In fact, with his current strength, although he cannot say that he has no rivals in the eighth level, he should be able to make it into the top 20. However, there are many inner disciples in the Zhengyang Sect, and some of them are practicing yellow-level exercises. To hold on to the end, it will take at least ten days or half a month.

Moreover, this would be tantamount to exposing all his cards. If he had a background, it would not matter, but now he only has his master and Lin Xi, so it is better to keep a low profile. If he meets someone with similar cultivation level, he can just pretend to be defeated.

After chatting for a while, he flew out of the sect.

Time is running out. I have to spend some spirit stones to buy some five elements treasures to practice the Innate Five Qi Technique.

In fact, the more advanced his practice reached, the more clearly he could feel the power of this technique. Not to mention anything else, just the sea-like energy in his Huangting and the incomparably strong origin throughout his body, he could easily withstand some serious injuries.

The Demon Sect has not stopped its attacks in the past few months. After being in a stalemate with the three major immortal sects for a long time, it has begun to fall into a disadvantage due to the lack of combat power replenishment. It is likely that this attack will end in failure again.

Although the battle between immortals and demons is raging, there are still very few powerful demon cultivators within the scope of the immortal cultivation city. After all, there are powerful immortal beasts in the Zhengyang Sect, and it is impossible for demon cultivators to establish a stronghold so close to the sect.

Soon, Lu Luan arrived in Tianhuo City.

At this time, the demon cultivators who attacked Tianhuo City had already been eliminated, so it was still very safe.

"Luo family's property? Let's go inside."

Lu Luan walked straight into the city and saw a tall building with a magnificent aura. This was the property of the Luo family, a family of immortal cultivators in Tianhuo City. After taking a look, Lu Luan walked in.

The Luo family is quite powerful, with more than ten strong people in the foundation-building stage.

However, as soon as he walked in, he stopped with some surprise in his eyes because he saw a familiar figure.

It was Du Yu whom I hadn’t seen for a long time.

Then he smiled and walked up. At this time, Du Yu was talking to the shopkeeper. Lu Luan came behind him, patted his shoulder gently, and said, "Brother Du."

After all, he is one of my few friends, so I have to say hello when we meet.

Du Yu turned around and was surprised to find that it was Lu Luan. Then he said in surprise: "Brother Lu, it's you!"

……

In a restaurant, Lu Luan looked at him in surprise and said, "Brother Du, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have already achieved such a high level of cultivation."

He discovered that Du Yu's realm was already in the middle seventh level, which was very rare for someone of his age. It seemed that his parents had put in a lot of effort.

"How can I compare to you, Brother Lu." Du Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, then asked: "Brother Lu, did you come to the city to buy something?"

Lu Luan nodded and said, "Due to the needs of cultivation, I want to buy some spiritual objects of the five elements to improve my cultivation."

"Five elements?" Du Yu looked at him in surprise and said, "Brother Lu, to be honest, our auction house happens to have such a treasure, with fire attributes, called the Earth Fire Demon Lotus. Are you interested?"

"Earth Fire Demonic Lotus?!"

Lu Luan was shocked. He had read many books on spiritual herbs and naturally knew about this spiritual medicine. The Earth Fire Demon Lotus was born in the land of extreme fire. It feeds on blood and flesh. Its flame essence is very rich, but there is a strong demonic aura in it. It is half lotus and half demon, which is the origin of its name.

Du Yu nodded and said, "Yes, this is the spirit pet of a demon cultivator that was killed by a disciple of the sect. If I exchange it with the sect, the price is not worth it, so I asked my parents' auction house to auction it."

Lu Luan's eyes moved, and he asked, "What's the reserve price for this lotus?"

"One thousand low-level spirit stones, the estimated transaction price is around one thousand four hundred. Brother Lu, are you interested?"

After Lu Luan thought for a while, he asked, "When will the auction take place?"

"Two days later, in Tianhuo City, at the Luo family auction house." Du Yu said.

"Luo family?" Lu Luan was puzzled.

"It's like this. Since there are not many people in Mucheng now, my parents plan to co-host this auction with the Luo family. Everything has been agreed." Du Yu explained.

"So that's it."

Lu Luan nodded. How could he miss such a treasure? After all, the most fire-attributed essence in the body of the Earth Fire Demon Lotus was fire-attributed essence. It was worth it even if he spent two thousand spirit stones.

After thinking for a while, Lu Luan looked at Du Yu and said, "Brother Du, I will definitely participate."

Anyway, the inner sect competition would not start for another ten days, so he had time.

"Brother Lu, this is the admission token."

Du Yu smiled, took out a token and handed it to him.

Lu Luan took it, and then the two of them began to drink and chat.

A quarter of an hour later, after Lu Luan had exchanged enough spirit stones, he flew in the air and said silently: "If we can capture the Pearl Earth Fire Demon Lotus, we will make a profit!"

Then he returned to the sect and waited.

……

……

Two days later, after finding out where to go, he arrived at Luo's house as scheduled.

"Brother Lu, you are here."

As soon as he entered, Du Yu and a woman came over.

"Brother Du."

"aunt."

Lu Luan greeted them and bowed to Du Yu's mother.

The woman looked at him with some surprise at first, but she quickly put it away and said with a smile, "Xiao Luan, please come in."

"You're welcome, Auntie." Lu Luan bowed and then went inside under the guidance of the two people.

On the way, the woman asked, "Xiao Luan, do you have enough spirit stones? If you are short of that, it's okay. Just bid the price. If it's not enough, your aunt will make up for it."

Lu Luan smiled and replied: "Thank you for your kindness, Auntie. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be enough."

"Yeah." The woman nodded.

After a while, Du Yu took him to the VIP room, took out a piece of jade and silk, and said, "Brother Lu, this is the list of treasures for this auction. If you come across anything else you want, just ask."

"Thank you, Brother Du," Lu Luan took it and thanked him.

After the two of them talked for a few words, Du Yu went on to do other things.

Lu Luan walked into the room, sat on a chair and began to wait. Out of boredom, he picked up the jade and silk and looked through it.

"Gold, jade, and stone, good stuff."

"Linghuang Grass is good, and it also has the attribute of earth, but it doesn't contain much of what I need for my training, so I'd be at a loss if I bought it."

Lu Luan began to look through the books, and when he found something interesting he would shake his head and say a few words.

"Found it, the Earth Fire Demon Lotus!"

After his fingers slid across a few columns, he saw the destination of his trip.

I saw that on the jade silk at his fingertips, there was an imprint of a lotus with rhizomes left, but these rhizomes were a little different, not only were they densely packed, but they were also very long and sharp, and covered with sharp barbs. Once a person was entangled by these rhizomes, it was not difficult to imagine that his flesh and blood would be cut into pieces.

"I never thought I could come across such a good thing. If I absorb it, my physical body will definitely be able to improve further."

Lu Luan chuckled. In fact, although this Earth Fire Demon Lotus can be used to refine pills, the demonic energy in it gives all alchemists a headache. But Lu Luan is different. The spirit fetus in his heart can directly absorb what he needs.

After observing carefully for a while, he turned a page and looked at the others.

"what……"

"This is?!"

When he read to the end, he suddenly saw a black object.

"Earth Dragon Golden Turtle!"

It was a beetle with a pair of large pincers and a single horn on its head, and a pair of iron wings spread out on its back.

After seeing it, Lu Luan's heart began to surge unconsciously, because he didn't have a suitable strange insect to practice his insect-eating puppetry. Isn't this one in front of him just right?

You know, this Earth Dragon Golden Turtle is famous for its strong defense and attack power, and it also has a pair of wings that are good at flying. It can attack, defend and escape conveniently. This is definitely the best material for him to practice puppetry!

It just looks a little weird, and although it is a bit unethical for a cultivator to use it, it is not a big deal.

"The starting price is only one hundred spirit stones, which is just right. It saves me from looking around."

Lu Luan smiled and decided to use it.

This earth dragon golden beetle is definitely a pleasant surprise. I have been busy practicing for the past few months and have delayed this matter.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the auction hall gradually became lively.

"Dear guests, I will be the host of this auction today."

The scene gradually quieted down, and a charming woman in red gauze slowly walked onto the stage and spoke to everyone in a sweet voice.

"I didn't expect it would be Miss Luo Qiao today. Even if I didn't take pictures of the baby, it's worth seeing you." The graceful and looming figure immediately made many people in the audience red-eyed.

"He does look good."

Lu Luan took a look and nodded, muttering to himself, if it were in the past he might have been moved, but now his mind is rather narrow, and after having Lin Xi, there is no room for anyone else, so he just gave a casual compliment.

Then the woman said a few more provocative words and the scene suddenly became heated.

Of course, these are just some people who are just having fun.

"Okay, now let's start auctioning the first treasure, the emerald jade glass cup. There is no need to explain the value of this cup. The starting price is fifty spirit stones." The woman said charmingly.

"Fifty-two..."

"This thing is good. I'll give you fifty-five bucks."

"For Miss Luo Qiao's sake, I'll give you sixty dollars!"

Listening to the crowd's shouts, Lu Luan shook his head and thought to himself, this cup is not a magic weapon, it is just an ornament if you buy it, so he is not interested in it.

……

After a short struggle, the glass cup was finally bought by a young man for sixty-five spirit stones. Although the product was inferior and the price was high, it was worth it to win the smile of a beautiful woman.

After a few appetizers, the atmosphere began to pick up.

"The next treasure is extraordinary. It is a fragment of a spiritual treasure. The starting price is one thousand spiritual stones! Each bid must not be less than twenty yuan."

As soon as she finished speaking, the entire auction hall began to boil.

"Spiritual treasure fragment!" Many people couldn't help but exclaim as they looked at the red fragment floating in her hand.

"One thousand and one hundred spirit stones."

"I'll give you one thousand one hundred and fifty dollars."

The powerful people sitting upstairs all spoke up.

At this price, the ordinary guests below just stared with excitement.

"This is a good thing. The materials used to refine spiritual treasures are very good. If we use this fragment well, we can combine it with other materials to refine several good high-level magic tools."

Lu Luan said silently that he had no intention of buying it. After all, the five flying swords in his body were enough.

"One thousand four hundred spirit stones!"

After a while, everyone fell silent as a powerful old man's voice was heard.

"My fellow Taoists, is there anyone else who wants to bid? Otherwise, the treasure can be..." the woman said softly.

"One thousand four hundred and fifty yuan." Before she finished her words, someone else spoke up.

"What a witch." Lu Luan exclaimed.

In the end, the price of this magic weapon fragment was only 1,450 yuan. This price was actually not much higher than its original value.

"The next item to be auctioned is a golden earth dragon turtle. It was originally a magic pet of a demon cultivator and was obtained by a fellow Taoist who killed it. The materials on its body are good. The starting price is one hundred spirit stones..." said the woman, pointing to the corpse of a demon beast in a box.

"Has it started yet?"

Lu Luan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Earth Dragon Golden Turtle would be arranged at this time.

"One hundred and ten spirit stones."

"One hundred and twenty spirit stones..."

Only a few lazy voices were heard on the field. Obviously, this thing was not attractive.

"One hundred and forty spirit stones." Seeing the bidding gradually weakened, Lu Luan finally spoke.

There was silence all around, and the few people who were interested just now also shook their heads and left. After all, it was already a dead body, and if it was alive, it would still be worth cultivating.

"One hundred and forty spirit stones per time."

"……twice."

"…Three times, deal."

As expected, the body of the Earth Dragon Golden Turtle was put into his bag.

After all, it was just a small thing, and even the woman on the stage didn't waste her breath to encourage others to bid more.

"It's in hand."

Seeing that it was already a done deal, Lu Luan smiled and thought silently in his heart: "It seems that I have to buy some gold ore materials after this. After returning to the sect, I will ask a weapon-refining senior brother to refine it into a magic weapon. Oh, and I also need to prepare some Yunling tea to increase the speed of condensing the talisman."

The auction will then continue.
