A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 162 Foundation Building Treasure

air.

The two flew through the clouds.

Because the middle-aged man was traumatized, their speed was not very fast.

"Fellow Daoist, the city is called Haoyun City, and it has a history of almost seven or eight hundred years." The middle-aged man introduced it to him slowly.

Lu Luan frowned and asked, "What is the cultivation level of the strongest among them?"

This is the issue that he is most concerned about. After all, if there are many strong people among them, his level of cultivation will not be enough.

The middle-aged man replied: "It is rumored that the strongest one is the ancestor of the City Lord's Mansion, who is at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm."

"So strong?"

Lu Luan was very shocked. It was just a force in a city, but there was actually a cultivation base of the early stage of the Golden Core! This was almost equivalent to one of the four great immortal sects, so he asked again: "What is the distribution of forces among them?"

"Except for the City Lord's Mansion, the five major families are the strongest."

"Are there any golden elixirs among them?" Lu Luan asked.

"No, the strongest is only half-step Jindan, otherwise Haoyun City would not be ruled by the City Lord's Mansion alone."

Lu Luan thought of something, and asked again: "By the way, is Haoyun City built on anything? Like a cave or something like that."

He knew that he couldn't just build a city in this location for no reason. Just like Zhengyang Gate, it was built on the two caves, and the previous Taiyuan City was probably built because of the flame mushrooms underground.

The middle-aged man said, "It is indeed as Daoist friend said. There is a big cave in Haoyun City. It was discovered by Master Haoyun accidentally. Then he built Haoyun City here and it has been developing continuously until now. The Haoyun Cave opens every five years. There are still about two years before the next opening..."

"Haoyun Cave Heaven?"

Upon hearing that there really were caves in heaven, Lu Luan immediately became interested. If he wanted to improve his cultivation now, he had to look for opportunities. For casual cultivators, entering various caves in heaven for adventure was the most common choice.

This is also the reason why independent cultivators travel around without a fixed place to live. After gaining benefits in one place, they immediately go to another place.

Otherwise, you won’t make much progress just by practicing in seclusion and meditation.

"Two years? I can wait."

He said silently, and made up his mind to stay in Haoyun City for the next two years, waiting for the opening of Haoyun Cave.

He can also prepare during this time.

The middle-aged man saw what he meant, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Fellow Daoist, Haoyun Cave Heaven is divided into three levels. Only people with Qi Refining skills can enter the first level, and we casual cultivators can only enter the first level. The entrances to the second and third levels are firmly controlled by the City Lord's Mansion. Usually only the aristocratic families rooted in the city and some business forces have the opportunity to enter."

The independent cultivators are all wandering around, running away when they get benefits, unlike the forces in the city, who can resist together if a crisis comes.

So how could such a precious spot be given cheaply to independent cultivators?

"I guess there's nothing good in the first floor?" Lu Luan asked with some disappointment in his eyes.

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Indeed, I did go in there once, but I only gained about sixty low-level spirit stones and nearly lost my life there. There are many good things in the second and third floors, and every time the big forces made a lot of money there."

Lu Luan asked unwillingly, "Is there really no chance of entering the second or third floor?"

He is now in the early tenth level of Qi Refining, and there is a soul seed in his purple mansion. As long as he improves his cultivation to the peak of the tenth level, he will be able to break through to the foundation-building stage in one fell swoop.

But don’t think that there are only two small realms, the middle and late stages. With his ordinary spiritual roots, it would take him more than ten years to reach the peak, and that is under extremely smooth circumstances.

Just over ten years later, he was already in his forties.

Now it is different from when he was in the sect. Without resources, his practice speed slowed down suddenly.

"It's not that there is no chance. You can negotiate with those families and other forces to see if they are willing to give you a place. If they agree, you can go in with them." The man said slowly.

Lu Luan showed a bitter smile. How could he have the strength to negotiate with those forces? Although his cultivation was good now, it was still not good enough in front of those strong men in the city.

He thought to himself, "There may be treasures on the first floor. With my strength, I should be able to get a good harvest."

After all, this middle-aged man has only reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, and he dares not go to places where there are treasures.

Although it is a bit regrettable, there is nothing I can do.

Lu Luan asked again: "What level of cultivation do most people in the city have?"

"They are all around the sixth level of Qi Refining..."

The two of them flew towards the sky while talking.

……

About two hours later, the two traveled thousands of miles and arrived in front of the big city built in the mountains.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this is Haoyun City." The middle-aged man said to the front. As they flew all the way here, the two of them naturally told each other their names.

Lu Luan nodded silently. This city is much more magnificent than Taiyuan City.

But he suddenly thought of something and said to himself, "There are many strong men in this city. Although I have hidden my cultivation, a strong man in the foundation building stage can see through it at a glance. This is not good."

If a casual cultivator at his age had reached the tenth level of Qi Refining, there must be something fishy going on. After all, if he had good talent, he wouldn't have become a casual cultivator. If he was discovered, he would probably be captured by a vicious and powerful person and tortured.

Then, he thought about it and a talisman appeared in his hand. He smiled secretly and said, "The sect is indeed very thoughtful."

Then his breath became more concealed.

Even people at the foundation-building stage wouldn't be able to see any clues unless they looked carefully.

"Fellow Daoist Lu?" The middle-aged man called out when he saw that he was in a daze.

Lu Luan reacted, smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Sun, let's go." He knew that the man's name was Sun Yi.

Then the two of them flew over.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this Haoyun City is a no-fly zone and is filled with restrictions. Only people in the Foundation Establishment stage can fly. Also, fighting and injuring people are not allowed in the city..." Sun Yi explained the rules.

Soon, the two arrived in front of the five-meter-high city gate.

Sun Yi pointed to an empty door next to the entrance and said to Lu Luan, "Daoyou Lu, since this is your first time here, you have to leave a drop of blood there. This will make it easier for the City Lord's Mansion to manage it and prevent the scattered cultivators from causing trouble so that they can be hunted down."

"Is that so?"

Lu Luan nodded and walked towards there.

Sun Yi looked at his back, a hint of hesitation gradually appeared in his eyes, and he murmured: "After flying all the way here, this man should not be a sinister and cunning person."

Lu Luan walked into the door and saw a short old man inside. He bowed and called him, "Daoyou."

The old man looked at him, took out a piece of jade, and said, "You are new here, so just drop some blood on it and pay three spirit stones. It is not allowed in the city..."

The old man spoke mechanically.

Lu Luan did as he was told.

Four breaths later, he walked out with a token in his hand.

Then the two of them entered the city holding the token.

Of course, a lot of spirit stones were paid to enter the city.

"Then Brother Sun, let's say goodbye now."

After entering the city, Lu Luan bowed and then turned and left.

Sun Yi looked at his back, as if he wanted to say something and chase after him, but after hesitating for a moment, he still did not move.

Then he walked to the other side by himself.

Lu Luan wandered around on the street, looking around. After all, he had been in seclusion for five years, so he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

Five years. Twenty-something is the best time in a person's life, and he spent half of that time in seclusion.

After sighing in his heart, he began to inquire about the information of Zhengyang Gate in the city, but the information he got was not very useful.

"Hmm?" Half an hour later, when he reached a corner, suddenly, a strange fragrance came. Lu Luan couldn't help but stop and look to smell it.

In front of me is a restaurant that is twenty meters high.

"Gu..."

His stomach began to make slight growling sounds.

Lu Luan showed a bitter smile, looked at his belly, and walked towards the restaurant.

Five years have passed, it's time to try some fireworks.

After seven or eight breaths, he arrived in front of the building called Cuishui Tower.

With a smile on his face, he walked in.

"Sir, what would you like to eat? Our restaurant has signature dishes such as liver carved with flowers and dragon heart..."

As he approached, a woman came over and introduced herself to him very politely.

After hearing those fancy names, Lu Luan was speechless. Both the Huadiao and the Jiaolong are terrifying monsters, but they are also quite interesting.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Give me a dish of dragon heart and some side dishes."

"Okay." The woman nodded, looked around, and said, "I see that you don't like noise. There is a VIP room upstairs. It only takes a low-level spirit stone."

There were many guests around at this time and it was quite noisy.

"Okay." Lu Luan nodded. He really liked quietness.

"Sir, please follow me."

The woman smiled sweetly and then took him to fly upwards. They were in a building and could fly.

The two of them went straight up, and when they reached a height of twenty feet, the woman brought him into an elegant room and said with a smile, "Sir, how is this room? While enjoying the delicious food, you can also enjoy the scenery of Haoyun City. It's a different experience."

"Not bad." Lu Luan walked to the window, looked out, and nodded slightly.

The woman came to his side, leaned over to pour him a cup of tea, and after passing it in front of him, she asked, "Sir, would you like another jar of wine? The most famous wine in our store is Shilixiang, which is brewed from dozens of spiritual herbs. After drinking it, it not only makes your mouth fragrant, but also has great benefits for your cultivation."

Lu Luan's heart moved. It seemed that he hadn't tasted wine for a long time, so he said, "Give me a jar."

After all, the food is ready, so something needs to go with it. Anyway, he is not short of these few spirit stones.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I will prepare it for you."

The woman said this respectfully and walked away happily.

Lu Luan sat down, put one hand on the table, picked up the teacup with the other hand and started drinking alone, looking out the window.

At this time, the sky is clear and the scenery is unobstructed from the high vantage point.

Looking at the people coming and going below, he couldn't help but look thoughtful.

"The people who survived the Zhengyang Sect are probably all scattered now. I don't know when the elders will organize themselves and summon us."

After secretly inquiring without any results, he knew in his heart that it would be impossible to find it by asking on his own, and it would also easily expose his identity and bring danger. The things in the mind of the down-and-out disciple of the immortal sect are very valuable.

"Although my cultivation has been improving steadily over the past few years, it is still a little unstable. I have to slow down." He felt his own cultivation. After all, he had made a breakthrough using the essence and blood of a strange beast. His realm was a little superficial. If he was not careful, it would affect his future progress in strength.

Then, with a thought, the jade box appeared in his hand. Inside it was the spirit essence left by his master. He stroked it gently with his fingers and said, "In the next period of time, absorb these and improve your physical body to perfection. When the Haoyun Cave Heaven opens, I should be able to get a lot of benefits with my strength."

He had been in seclusion for the past five years to improve his Qi training, so he had fallen behind in the Innate Five Qi Art.
