A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 236 Soul Fish Blood

With a smile, he put away the talisman and flew to the location provided by the person who sent the message.

Twenty breaths later, he reached the edge of the island.

At this time, an old man in black was standing on the rocks by the sea with a hunched back.

"He has a strong aura. If it weren't for his age limit, he should have a chance to break through to the middle stage of foundation building." Lu Luan landed in front of him and quickly sensed the old man's cultivation. He bowed and smiled, "Daoyou."

"Daoyou are here. Is that the Soul Fish sign you put up? I just happened to pass by and saw it by accident," the old man nodded at him, saluted, and said slowly. At the same time, he was also looking at him while talking. After he finished speaking, he asked again: "Daoyou has a strong body and rich blood. Could it be that you have practiced the Jing Refining Technique?"

After hearing this, Lu Luan was shocked. He didn't like to show off, so he usually kept his breath and blood tight. He didn't expect that the old man could see something. However, at the other person's age, he had experienced too much, and his knowledge and vision were extremely high. His experience was beyond his reach, so it was normal for him to notice something unusual.

But Lu Luan would not admit it, so he smiled bitterly and said, "The Jinglian Gongfa is precious and rare, how can I have such luck? Previously, I was taken care of by the disciples of Hunyuan Peak of Pengling Sect, and participated in a medicine tempering test, so my physical body improved a little, and it hasn't recovered yet."

"Daoyou are really lucky." The old man stroked his beard and chuckled.

Lu Luan asked gently: "Does Daoist friend have the blood of the soul fish?"

"Not bad," the old man nodded.

Seeing this, Lu Luan was delighted. It would not be difficult to find other materials, but the essence and blood of the soul fish, which was almost extinct, was very difficult to find.

The old man asked again: "Where are you from, fellow Taoist?"

"No crossing the sea." Lu Luan replied.

The old man smiled in relief: "No wonder, this soul fish is a kind of monster that is unique to the Wudu Sea. It is not found anywhere else. Moreover, it is full of treasures and is extremely precious. However, it is precisely because of this that its traces have rarely been seen in the Wudu Sea in the past few decades."

Lu Luan also asked: "From your tone, could it be that you are also a cultivator who has never crossed the sea?"

The old man nodded: "Yes, I am a casual cultivator from Lingding Island in the Hanluo Sea."

"Fellow Daoist, are there any soul fish activities around Lingding Island?"

Lu Luan asked, although he had never heard of Lingding Island, he knew about the Wudu Hanluo Sea Area, and he would know the truth by asking around.

“Not really,” the old man shook his head, and then he tapped his dry fingers gently, and then an emerald green bottle appeared in front of him, saying, “Daoyou, this contains the soul fish blood, which I got from an old friend. It is of no use to me now, and there is only a little left. If you need it, I will exchange it with you.”

"so little?"

The bottle was translucent, so he could see the amount inside, which was about the size of a thumb. He was a little disappointed, but it was better to have something than nothing, so he bowed and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist."

He looked at the bottle and asked, "What do you plan to exchange for, fellow Taoist?"

"Of course it is a treasure. It depends on how much you think it is worth."

Lu Luan smiled bitterly and said, "Daoyou, I only have spirit stones on me, so I came here to see if I can buy anything good from Pengling Sect."

Although there were many treasures in his storage ring, they were too valuable to be exchanged. He had already sold those of less value and exchanged them for spirit stones.

"In that case, twenty intermediate spirit stones."

After thinking for a while, the old man said slowly.

Lu Luan smiled and nodded: "Okay, but I'll check the goods first."

"can."

The old man pushed the small bottle over.

Lu Luan took it in his hand, uncorked it and took a look. He couldn't help but say happily, "It is indeed the blood of the soul fish."

After checking that everything was correct, he thought about taking out the spirit stone, but the old man waved his sleeves and put it away.

Hearing him say that he got this blood essence from a friend, Lu Luan asked: "Daoyou, has your friend come to the Immortal Meeting?"

"Not really." The old man shook his head.

Lu Luan felt a little regretful.

However, the old man said, "This soul fish essence and blood has many uses. My friend should still have a lot. If you really need this essence and blood, you can go to Lingding Island with me to ask him after the Immortal Meeting. But I'm afraid it won't be cheap."

After Lu Luan thought for a moment, he said, "I have something to do for now, so I'm afraid I can't leave." He turned his eyes and said, "But fellow Taoist, can you give me a talisman for contact? If I really need help, I will go to Lingding Island to ask for your help. Don't worry, I won't bother you in vain."

The old man took out a magic talisman and said generously: "It's not a big deal, it's just a piece of cake. After all, more friends mean more paths."

"Thank you so much, fellow Taoist."

Lu Luan took it and bowed politely.

"Fellow Taoist, you're welcome."

Then he asked for some more information, and then they all left as they had something to do.

Lu Luan strolled around the island, not knowing what he was thinking. He took the soul fish blood he had just exchanged and said disappointedly, "Ah, it's too little. This little can only support me to refine a small bottle of venom."

With his current attainment in making poisons, a small bottle was worth about one hundred and twenty intermediate spirit stones, but the other materials required were also very precious, so he didn't make much.

Of course, it doesn’t take much time to refine a small bottle. When you calculate it, the profit is still huge, which is much better than killing monsters.

"The so-called friend the old man mentioned should have some. Maybe he knows where the soul fish are still lurking in the Wudu Sea. However... his thoughts may not be as simple as they appear. He actually asked me if I practiced the essence refining technique. After I go back and improve my cultivation to the strongest level, I will go and test it."

Although he didn't feel that the other party had anything wrong or had any ulterior motives from the conversation just now, he still had to be careful.

The soul fish's blood is very important to him now, so he must go there.

He wanted to enter the Falling Star Valley in seven years, so he had to quickly improve his strength and accumulate trump cards, and all of this required spirit stones, and the soul fish essence blood could just meet this requirement.

Then he took out the talisman that the old man had given him and whispered, "Lingding Island?"

Then the figure slowly disappeared into the crowd.

……

Four days later.

"Who else wants to exchange this Fire Ganoderma?"

In a place where treasures were traded, there was a dazzling fire. It was a very rare Ganoderma lucidum, the size of a palm, completely red, with fiery red lights flashing across its surface from time to time.

Seeing that no one answered, the casual cultivator shouted again: "Otherwise, this elixir will belong to my fellow Taoist next to me."

The person next to him was naturally Lu Luan. The fire essence in this fire Ganoderma was extremely rich, so he naturally would not let it go.

If he purchased this kind of treasure outside, with his strength, it would be easy for some people to covet it. Now that things are almost done, he should take this opportunity to buy some materials for practicing the Innate Five Qi Jue.

These days he has been looking around the islands, buying natural treasures with rich five elements essence, preparing to temper them with medicinal powder and absorb them all in one go, in order to raise his physical strength to the strongest state.

Although I already have that kind of demon crystal, it is not enough.

I believe that if all the treasures worth more than 300 intermediate spirit stones were smashed down, it would definitely create huge ripples on my body.

"Your Fire Ganoderma only has a lot of essence, but the medicinal effect is not that great."

"Yes, the effect of refining the elixir is not good..."

The casual cultivators around were talking about it.

"You can't say that."

The casual cultivator wanted to explain, but Lu Luan frowned, and in order to avoid any trouble, he coughed and said, "Ahem... Daoist friend, you are going too far."

The casual cultivator smiled awkwardly and said helplessly: "Okay, as you say, this Fire Ganoderma is yours, fellow Taoist."

Lu Luan pushed the bottle of venom over and also collected the fire Ganoderma lucidum.

The deal was done, and he walked away.

"With these things, my strength will improve by leaps and bounds."

Walking alone on the path, looking at his storage ring, Lu Luan thought to himself.

During these days, he traded the several bottles of venom he had for treasures and some spirit stones.

He had also thought about spending all his resources on cultivation, but after careful consideration, he felt that spending it on improving his physical strength would leave more room for improvement, would be more cost-effective, and most importantly, would improve quickly.

If he wants to improve his cultivation, it will definitely be slow. His spiritual roots are poor to begin with, and if he is too eager for quick results and causes an unstable foundation, it will be even more difficult to improve. Moreover, the change in strength brought about is not particularly large, and he doesn't have much time left.

"Although that bottle of body-tempering powder is only for the outer disciples of Pengling Sect, how strong are their outer disciples' bodies? If it works even for them, the effect should be even more significant for me. After absorbing these treasures, there will be absolutely no problem for me to reach the middle stage of foundation building."

He is still very confident about this.

"Everything is almost ready. There are still more than 200 intermediate spirit stones in the ring. Let's go buy some spirit talismans for self-defense first."

With a plan in mind, he flew away.

He didn't spend all the spirit stones, because his body couldn't absorb more, so if it wasn't enough, he would just buy more. He also had to keep some to buy materials for refining poison, and also to buy a few more spirit talismans for self-defense.

As for exchanging the talismans, they naturally had to be exchanged from the disciples of the immortal sect.

At the same price, the quality of Pengling Sect’s talismans is higher than those outside and they are very reliable.

Not long after, he spent more than 200 intermediate spirit stones to exchange for a few escape talismans and defensive tortoise shell talismans from an outer disciple. He still had more than 20 pieces left as spares.

As for attacking, he didn't really need it now. He had the God-Slaying Technique to suppress him, which gave him a lot of confidence.

……

"Ok?"

"Any news?"

After the transaction, he was about to go back to his room to rest when he felt the Peng Ling Order begin to vibrate. He took it out and felt its contents, and his heart was filled with joy.

The star grass finally bore fruit.

"Elder Lu's injuries can be healed now."

So after putting away the Peng Ling Order, he quickly flew to the place where he had met the elder last time.
