A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 546: A Piece of Chaos

In less than half an hour, the golden turtle puppet dug a passage thousands of feet long on the ground.

It's so deep, and once he gets in and destroys the entrance, no matter how much demonic energy leaks, it will not spread to the surface. Plus, this is a sea area lacking in spiritual energy, and there are no immortal cultivators within a thousand miles around. Even if he makes a huge breakthrough on the sea surface, the chance of being discovered is very small, not to mention that he is now at the bottom of the deep sea.

"Let's go."

Feeling that it was about time, Lu Luan walked in first.

However, looking at the dark cave entrance, Shangguan Linglong frowned slightly and looked hesitant.

"what happened?"

Lu Luan turned around and asked.

"Nothing, you'd better be honest and don't play any tricks."

In such a place, she began to worry that Lu Luan would plot against her.

"I'm not you."

After saying that, Lu Luan dived first.

"Linglong, be careful. This guy has evil intentions and is not a good person. His strength will increase dramatically after breaking through to the Golden Core realm. He might do something bad to you at that time." The woman in the mind reminded.

"Aunt Mei, I understand."

Shangguan Linglong paused for a moment, then followed him in.

Four thousand feet underground, the golden dragon turtle had already dug out a wide stone cave.

Lu Luan arrived inside first. When he saw Shangguan Linglong coming, he shook the water out of the cave. At the same time, he drove his spear to destroy all the passages, forming an enclosed underground space.

Seeing her alert look, he said, "Let's get started. After I break through to the Golden Core realm, I will help you recover from your injuries."

"You'd better not play any tricks. The strange power in my body is very active now. The slightest shock will break the seal. It's very dangerous. If I die, you will die even if you break through to the Golden Core Realm."

Although Shangguan Linglong looked calm, the fear in her eyes revealed her uncertainty. She felt threatened even though Lu Luan hadn't made a breakthrough yet. She had no idea what Lu Luan would do when he broke through and became stronger.

"Really."

Lu Luan's heart sank. He had planned to imprison her as soon as possible after the breakthrough, and then use the talisman. If there really was a strong soul, he would pull it out and search its soul to find a way to break the puppet technique.

But now it seems that Shangguan Linglong is already on guard against what he might do to her after he becomes stronger.

"It seems like we have to think long and hard. We have to let her relax her guard first."

Lu Luan thought in his heart, he knew that the power in this witch's body was terrifying. If it really erupted, his internal organs would rot instantly. His life was connected to hers, and he didn't want to kill himself after finally breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.

That strange power is indeed very tricky.

"I wonder if the Six Qi Spiritual Medicine can stabilize that strange power after it is cultivated and grown." Lu Luan pondered, he knew that he couldn't act too hastily.

"I will remove the puppet technique for you when my injuries have recovered. Please cooperate with me during this period." Shangguan Linglong said.

"Do you think I have as many tricks and schemes as you? Let's get started."

After Lu Luan glanced at her, he sat cross-legged on the ground.

He doesn't believe such words.

"It would be better if it were this way. I hope you won't do something stupid that would result in both of you dying." Shangguan Linglong still couldn't let it go. If Lu Luan became stronger, it would be harder to control him. She might even be in danger. Now she could only threaten him with her own life.

After giving the warning, she sat down cross-legged opposite him and said, "The quality of the cave power in your Huangting is good, but it also has disadvantages. The higher the quality, the sharper it is, and the greater the risk of serious injury and death during the breakthrough. Therefore, many people will prepare a good healing treasure for emergency use. However, since you have the mermaid pearl, these troubles can be saved."

"What is the function of the shark pearl?"

Lu Luan touched his chest and asked.

"The mermaid pearl is a very gentle treasure. It contains rich vitality. It can not only speed up the formation of your cave heaven, but also help you recover from your injuries. When you are about to impact your cultivation, use the power of the cave heaven to stimulate it."

"Let's start." Lu Luan understood.

"Okay," Shangguan Linglong nodded and continued, "You have already sorted out the information of the runes. Now I will teach you how to condense them bit by bit. Once your body is fully covered, you can start to combine the power of the cave and the fake pill."

Shangguan Linglong began to explain, and Lu Luan listened carefully. Then he began to make seals with his hands, as if he was practicing a magic trick. According to the method she said, it didn't take long before the first rune was condensed.

After floating for a while, the rune was imprinted on the skin. Although there was only one rune, Lu Luan could feel that the physical body he had refined with medicinal energy was more closely integrated with his body.

Then the second one, the third one...

Gradually, the physical body began to merge with the deeper levels of the physical body. His body was like a lush ginseng, exuding a fragrant medicinal aroma.

One day passed.

A month passed.

That's it.

One year later.

Deep sea, deep underground.

A pale white light flashed across Lu Luan's body, just like the mottled light when sunlight shines through the water surface onto the bottom of a lake. These were not demonic energy, nor spiritual energy, but medicinal energy.

After a year of hard work, with the help of Shangguan Linglong, all the required runes have been condensed, covering every inch of skin on the body and even the eyeballs.

These runes are like nails, locking the medicinal energy into the body.

"Finally it's done."

Shangguan Linglong looked at his breath of medicinal energy flowing, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The first stage was ready.

Lu Luan looked at his palms, carefully felt his body, and said in amazement: "It's really amazing. I feel like I am a transformed spiritual medicine now."

Every pore of his now exudes the fragrance of medicine and vitality. He even has the illusion that new leaves can grow on his fingers as long as he wants.

"The medicinal energy in your body has combined with your blood. Now try to integrate it with the power of the cave heaven." Shangguan Linglong said slowly.

But after Lu Luan thought for a while, he took out the gourd and said, "Shangguan, you go in first."

"what do you mean?"

Shangguan Linglong's face turned cold.

Lu Luan said: "If you use some tricks when I break through, I won't be in danger, right?"

"If you take me in, who will guard the gate for you?"

"I don't need anyone to guard the gate."

Lu Luan said calmly that he had the Mermaid Pearl in his body, a precious treasure. It was entirely possible that Shangguan Linglong would kill him to take the Pearl, and then use the Pearl to recover from her injuries.

To him, this witch is the biggest danger.

"Can you get in?"

Lu Luan held the gourd in his hand.

"Don't even think about it. If you die while trying to reach that realm, won't I be trapped inside and die?"

Shangguan Linglong's eyes were full of resistance. With her current injuries, once her magic treasure was broken, she might be destroyed by the resulting space storm. Even if she avoided it, she might not be able to escape.

"You have no choice." Lu Luan's voice was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

"If you're worried about me, I can go to the sea and keep watch."

"No." Lu Luan shook his head.

"You've gone too far." Shangguan Linglong's voice was very cold.

"Shangguan, you have no choice, and neither do I. Think about it carefully. Once you've figured it out, I'll prepare for a breakthrough and then heal your injuries." Lu Luan put the gourd aside. If she didn't go in, he wouldn't be able to break through to another level.

"Hey, Linglong, promise him."

The woman sighed.

"Aunt Mei...but?"

"He can afford to delay, but you can't."

"Okay." Shangguan Linglong was very unwilling, but if she wanted to recover from her injuries, she had to compromise.

"Okay, I promise you." Shangguan Linglong said to him.

"So fast?"

Lu Luan looked at her strangely. He thought the stalemate would last a long time, but he didn't expect the witch to agree so quickly.

"Then please." Lu Luan picked up the gourd.

"Wait a minute, I don't want you to die like this, let me tell you some things you need to pay attention to when breaking through."

Next, Shangguan Linglong pointed out many things to pay attention to, doing her best to give him more hope of a successful breakthrough.

"Did you understand everything?" She asked worriedly after finishing the explanation.

Lu Luan nodded slightly, then put the witch into the gourd. After he was done, he gathered his mind and immersed his thoughts into the Huangting.

"let's start."

Next, control the power of the cave and compress it towards the fake pill.

"Zizi..."

Soon, the fake pill began to tremble slightly, lightning arcs appeared continuously, and the surface solidified rapidly. The structure was no longer illusory, but had a bit of substance.

At the same time, when it came into contact with the power of the cave sky, the essence in the Huangting began to rotate and gathered towards the false pill. When the three were combined, a special force emanated from the false pill and merged with the Huangting barrier.

And at the point of fusion, the sharp aura carried by this force seeped out, like a needle prick, very painful. If you look closely, you can find that the place just now is already bleeding.

"Is this why most people fail when they attack?"

Lu Luan's heart suddenly became heavy. Fortunately, his body was strong, otherwise the sharp force that had just penetrated would have been able to pierce a hole in his body.

Although the higher the quality of the cave power, the better the quality of the cave, but the danger faced during the impact also increases exponentially.

Many people cannot bear such damage physically, so they become timid and retreat halfway, thus wasting all their previous efforts.

"The mermaid pearl."

After a brief understanding, Lu Luan controlled the mermaid pearl to go towards the power of the cave heaven.

As soon as it got close.

The force of the cave as sharp as a knife cut the mermaid pearl into several pieces.

Immediately afterwards, a cool, water-like breath flowed out, and like the essence, it permeated the Huangting, like rain and dew in early spring.

This made Lu Luan feel like he was bathing in a gurgling mountain stream, and his whole body was filled with endless energy.

"Come again."

After taking a deep breath, he once again controlled the power of the cave and merged it with the fake pill.

It was just a weak attempt just now, this time it's for real.

For a moment, the entire Huangting was filled with strong winds, and the essence and energy surged like a sea wave, forming a huge vortex with the fake pill as the center, and entering the fake pill with the momentum of a hundred rivers converging.

With the violent compression, the overflowing power was like tiny iron cones, spreading everywhere in the Huangting and merging with the barrier.

Lu Luan's eyebrows twitched because he felt a burning pain in his chest.

Fortunately, with the huge vitality emitted by the mermaid pearl, the injuries were quickly suppressed.

At the same time, the blood began to rush and gathered towards the Huangting position, and the huge medicinal energy began to spread.

As if his Huangting was not chaotic enough, the five spirit dolls' eyes gleamed with light, lightning flashed on their bodies, and they began to release thunder and lightning in their Huangting to stir up trouble.

However, unlike the power of the cave heaven, the thunder released by these five spirit dolls not only did not cause any harm to him, but when it hit the Huangting barrier, it gave it some of the five elements of thunder attributes.

This is to help him open up the cave.

At this time, there was wind, rain, thunder and lightning in Lu Luan's Huangting, as if the world was in chaos when the world was created.

"It hurts so much."

Gradually, his eyelashes began to tremble.

The impact of the realm was like a snowball rolling down from a great height; as time went on, it was no longer under his control, becoming more and more violent and intense.

It seemed as if there was a pair of invisible giant hands inside his Huangting, stirring him upside down.

More and more sharp energy began to penetrate the Huangting, destroying his flesh and blood.

In the Jindan realm, one is reborn. These forces are tempering the body and reshaping the flesh and blood.

As time went by, his chest was already covered in blood red, and the blood red continued to spread, until finally blood beads appeared.

pain.

This was a kind of painful torture, as if his flesh and blood were being shaved by countless sharp knives, and the pain in his mind kept intensifying.

In the gourd.

"Aunt Mei, do you think he can succeed?"

Shangguan Linglong asked worriedly.

"He has about 70% chance of success. Although he has excellent essence-refining techniques and treasures, he is too greedy. He actually uses such high-quality cave heaven power. Spiritual roots can speed up the formation of cave heaven. Without the help of spiritual roots, he will suffer." The woman in the mind sighed.

Indeed, if it was ordinary quality cave power, with his current physical body, he could easily suppress the injuries even without the help of the mermaid pearl.

"If I die..."

"Don't worry, if he's dead, I have a way to get you out of this predicament," the woman soothed.

"He has the help of the Mermaid Pearl, so he shouldn't die. I just don't know how long it will take for him to break through."

Shangguan Linglong frowned.

"This is a battle of wills. If you can stick with it for two years, you should be able to succeed."

"Then it looks like there's no problem. For someone like him to have climbed from an ordinary spiritual root to where he is today, the thing he lacks the most is probably willpower."

Shangguan Linglong sat down cross-legged, and since she couldn't change the situation, she began to heal her injuries.

As time passed, blood continued to seep out, his clothes began to be stained red, the blood coagulated to form black scabs, the black scabs became thicker and thicker, and finally wrapped up his entire body. From a distance, he looked like a stone statue.

“We must break through!”

Lu Luan gritted his teeth and endured the tremendous pain. He wanted to faint at this moment, but he knew that once he fainted, he would never wake up again. How could he be reborn from the ashes without going through thousands of hardships.

Time passed slowly like this.

……

On the endless sea.

A man in black with a sword-like aura around him stood in the air, quietly looking at the island with buildings in front of him.

Inside Jianyang Sect.

Zhou Bufan, who had a long beard, was sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain practicing. Suddenly, he felt something and woke up from his practice. He stood up, looked into the distance, and smiled, "Are you here?"
