Chapter 282 Body Protection Xuan Gang
"But there seems to be something else between the flesh and blood."
Lu Luan sensed something, frowned and muttered to himself.
As his mind moved, a transparent barrier suddenly appeared around his body, but it was not made up of true energy, but more like some kind of internal energy.
Lu Luan clenched his fist and strength exploded from his body. This layer of energy became more and more solid, like a solid wall, giving people the feeling that it was majestic and invulnerable to evil.
Then he slowly loosened his hands, and the barrier disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace.
"Protective black energy, is this something that appears after practicing the Innate Five Qi Technique in the later stages?" After feeling it, Lu Luan smiled and said, "Although it is black energy, its defensive power is stronger than the runes on the skin. Not bad, not bad."
He knew that this was a companion item of the Innate Five Qi Art, composed of five strands of five-element qi, entangled together using the relationship of mutual promotion and mutual restraint, creating this layer of Xuan Gang's unparalleled protective power.
"With this layer of Xuan Gang, I can better display my strengths."
He was very satisfied with this thing derived from the spiritual fetus.
In order to take advantage of physical strength, close combat is necessary, but close combat will expose another problem. If the opponent's attack is strong and fierce or his spiritual treasure is sharp, you will not be able to gain any advantage.
"Brother, you are out of quarantine."
A green light flew from a distance and stopped in front of him. It was Xiaocan.
Now this little fellow is already in the initial stage of foundation building. In addition to the peculiarities of the path he takes, people in the middle stage of foundation building have no way to deal with him, so he no longer needs his protection.
So during the retreat, it was bored and wandered around the surrounding waters.
Seeing Lu Luan coming out of retreat, Xiao Can looked very happy.
This retreat lasted a long time, almost two months.
A year passed, and the little guy became a little different. He ate a lot of spiritual herbs with Lu Luan, and his skin became white, tender and crystal clear. The ginseng leaves on his head became more lush and green, full of vitality.
Looking at this figure, Lu Luan had something in mind, so he smiled and said, "Brother will give you something good."
Xiao Can looked at him expectantly.
Lu Luan didn't say anything, but was thinking secretly.
After a while, the runes on the skin began to flicker, and finally floated out one by one.
Lu Luan frowned slightly, and there seemed to be some discomfort in his eyes.
These runes are like scales that are connected to the flesh and blood. It would not be pleasant to pull them out.
However, the pain had little effect on him.
After more than ten breaths, he had drawn out all the runes and suspended them above his palms.
He planned to give these things to Xiao Can. After all, the little guy's combat power was too low now. Having this layer of runes would make him much safer.
Moreover, these runes are no longer of much use to him. Although his physical strength has doubled in the past year, the defensive power of the runes has hardly increased.
Xiao Can knew what he wanted to do, and quickly asked, "Brother, don't you need it yourself?"
"It's no longer needed."
After saying this, he gently moved his fingers, and these runes wrapped around Xiao Shen like fireflies in the sky.
"enter!"
As the sound came out, the runes flew towards Xiao Shen, like a hot iron, leaving rows of marks on the crystal clear flesh.
"it hurts."
Xiao Can's expression began to look uncomfortable.
But she clenched her hands tightly, clenched her teeth, and endured it with difficulty.
Time passed slowly, and after half an hour, everything began to calm down.
The light emanating from Xiao Can's body dissipated, and the runes had been completely engraved into his flesh and blood, becoming one with him.
But the little guy was already very tired. After flying in front of him, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Lu Luan caught it, held it in his hand, and gently stroked the center of his eyebrows with his thumb. After smiling, he put it into his Huangting and went to rest.
"It's time to get down to business."
"The improvement of my cultivation will definitely require more resources." Lu Luan looked towards the distant Tianjue Island, and then flew towards there.
For other people, improving the physical body consumes more resources than improving cultivation. But for Lu Luan, his bones are limited, so the situation is the opposite. It is now more difficult to improve his cultivation.
But now he has Tianjue Island, a good place, so he has no shortage of resources.
Although a year has passed, a lot of time was actually spent exchanging treasures that suited my needs and in seclusion.
Soon, he arrived outside Tianjue Island.
Looking at the mountains that were looming in the clouds in front of him, Lu Luan thought for a while and then flew directly into the air.
This time he no longer focused on the middle and outer areas, but went directly to the middle area. High-quality spiritual herbs only grew in those remote places.
If you are lucky, you can even collect top-quality elixirs like bloody coral.
Now, those forbidden formations in the sky outside can do nothing to him with his strong body.
After running for dozens of miles and feeling that the power of rules had deepened to a certain extent, he slowly stopped and fell downwards.
He knew that he was about to enter the center of the enclosure, so to be on the safe side, it would be better to walk on the ground.
After staying on the island for a long time, Xiao Can understood more and more about it, which made him more comfortable in his actions.
……
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a terrifying roar was heard in the quiet forest.
Then the ground cracked and the soil was thrown high into the air.
I saw a giant black centipede ten feet long breaking out of the ground. The strong legs under its body were like sharp knives. When it swung, one could even see the air being stirred into a whirlwind.
With this kind of momentum, even a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building would have to take a detour upon seeing it.
Lu Luan stood three feet above the ground, holding a black sword in his hand, looking at the monster indifferently.
At this time, the black centipede was also facing him with its fangs and claws, as if it wanted to tear him into pieces.
He turned sideways and slashed with the sword, and the sword energy flew away.
However, the demonic pattern on the centipede's black armor covered with flesh and blood flashed, and it easily blocked the sword energy.
He had not practiced any secret sword energy techniques, nor did he have any sword skills. The power of this sword was really limited, and it could only be considered a test.
"The strength is good."
Lu Luan nodded silently, "It's a good opportunity to test the defensive capabilities of this layer of body protection."
As soon as he finished speaking, strong energy appeared around him, protecting him tightly.
Then he rushed towards the centipede.
"Ka... Ka..."
A sharp friction sound was heard.
Lu Luan stood on the ground, and the centipede used its huge body to surround him in the middle. Its knife-like thin legs stabbed straight into him and rubbed against the layer of qi.
Although he was surrounded by dense attacks, he was not panicked at all. The defensive ability of the protective Xuan Gang was beyond his expectations. Even though the centipede had tried its best, there was no sign of a breakthrough.
Seeing this, Lu Luan chuckled and said, "Now, I'm afraid that even a casual cultivator in the late stage of foundation building may not be able to break it, and the Xiantian Five Qi Art has not yet been perfected. I believe that as this method progresses, the Gang Qi will become even more. Master, you really gave your disciple a good method."
The Innate Five Qi Art really gave him a big surprise. It was much more powerful than any giant dragon.
"hiss……"
Seeing that it was unable to defeat Lu Luan and break his defense, the centipede made an angry and hoarse sound, and the demon energy in its body began to roll, forcibly increasing its attack power.
But it was still in vain.
"Okay, enough fun."
Seeing that it was almost done, Lu Luan didn't want to play anymore and just slapped out with his palm.
There was also a half-moon-shaped layer of black energy on the palm. After all, he was a flesh and blood body, so he would not directly touch the hard armor with his fist.
"boom!"
At the center of the centipede's entanglement, the air was blasted by the powerful force, and dozens of black legs were broken into two by this punch, and sprayed upward from the center along the air wave, mixed with a large amount of blood.
The centipede was also shaken and fell to the ground, with a lot of broken legs and flesh in the middle of its body. The severe pain made it scream wildly.
Lu Luan leaped lightly and landed from the air towards the centipede's head. He clenched his right fist and punched down.
"puff."
The centipede sensed the danger and, ignoring the pain, opened its mouth and shot a stream of green venom at him.
However, under the wide layer of Xuan Gang on Lu Luan's fist, the venom was shaken and splashed everywhere and could not touch his body.
"boom!"
This punch had the force of nearly eight thousand horses, and it was heavier than a mountain.
With a loud bang, air waves swept everywhere, and a gray hollow area appeared in the forest.
A large sunken pit appeared on the ground, and inside it lay a centipede with a severely deformed head. Although its tail was still struggling and moving, it was already dead.
Lu Luan swung his sword and split the skull, and a demon crystal naturally rolled out.
After sucking the demon crystal, he looked around and smiled, "It's really convenient to use physical strength to fight a demon beast in close combat."
Immortal cultivators are most afraid of close combat with monsters, because their fragile bodies can be easily torn into pieces by the monsters' powerful teeth and claws.
But it is a different story for people who wear high-quality soft armor or are good at using their physical bodies like Lu Luan.
"The harvest is good."
After putting the monster's body into the storage ring, he turned and walked elsewhere.
His body became stronger, and those restrictions containing the power of confinement were useless in front of him.
……
Two months later, outside the Hanluo Sea.
Yanbo Island, a huge auction hosted by several major forces.
At this time, Lu Luan was sitting in the VIP room, staring down and murmured:
"I wonder how that Five Spirits Qi Moving Pill will help my cultivation?"
During this period of time, he harvested a large amount of resources on Tianjue Island. He could no longer buy anything useful for his cultivation on the surrounding small islands, so he rushed to a big place like Yanbo Island to take a look.
He happened to hear that an auction was being held here, and the elders of the Xuanling Sect were auctioning valuables in exchange for spirit stones. Thinking that there were things flowing out of the sect, he came to try his luck.
Of course, his cultivation level in the middle stage of foundation building was enough to attract the attention of the auction house, and he easily obtained the auction list.
At the same time, he quickly took a liking to an item, which was the Five Spirits Qi Moving Pill.
This elixir is unique to the Xuanling Sect and is given as a reward to talented disciples. It is most suitable for people with the five elements spiritual roots, so Lu Luan is very interested in it.
"I'll offer thirty intermediate spirit stones."
A childish voice was heard. It was Xiao Can who was leaning against the window and shouting out a price.
It took a fancy to a spiritual fruit that was currently being auctioned.
"Whose child is this?"
"Yeah, it's really rich."
Some of the people below made surprised noises. Although they couldn't see who was bidding, they could tell from the voice that it was a child of three or five years old.
As expected, this spiritual fruit belonged to Xiaocan.
It also wears a storage ring on its hand and has its own little treasury.
Lu Luan watched with a smile. It was auctioning this thing simply because it tasted good.
"Dong dong dong."
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Enter."
Then a girl in green clothes came in with a plate of fruit and bowed to him, saying, "Senior, these are spiritual fruits. Please enjoy them."
"let it go."
Although it is not a good thing, it definitely tastes delicious and can satisfy Xiao Shen's craving.
"Yes."
The girl put the jade plate away, bowed, and then walked out.
"The next item to be auctioned is Ancient Flame Sand."
A sweet voice came from below.
In the center of the auction hall, a beautiful woman in a light pink robe was beginning to introduce the treasures next to her.
Moreover, this woman not only has a stunning and youthful face, but her temperament is also like a lotus emerging from water. The only thing that seems a little contradictory is that there is a charming gleam in her eyes.
Of course, none of these can outweigh the life-threatening tail swaying behind him, which is the same color as his robe but slightly lighter.
This is a demon fairy who has transformed.
Lu Luan was still quite surprised to see a demon fairy, after all, there were not many of them.
Every frown and smile is full of charm. Some cultivators with "pure nature" cannot resist such temptation. They are dazzled and have been actively livening up the atmosphere on the field.
As treasure after treasure was auctioned off, the auction began to draw to a close.
But the real contest has just begun. Those who are in the early stages of foundation building have begun to hold their breath and prepare to see what is to come.
"Everyone, the next item to be auctioned is the Five Spirits Moving Qi Pill. It was asked by a senior from the Xuanling Sect who is in the late stage of foundation building to auction it. Everyone knows that the quality of the Xuanling Sect's things is definitely guaranteed. And this pill is a very good one in the Xuanling Sect. It is often rewarded to the true disciples. Such a good pill is really rare. Don't miss it."
The woman on the stage held up a jade box and spoke to everyone.
"coming!"
Lu Luan's eyes moved, staring at the elixir in the box that was surrounded by five-colored elixir energy.
This was what he had been waiting for.
"The Xuanling Sect's stuff..."
The scene began to get agitated, with many people showing a determination to win.
"This Five Spirits Qi Moving Pill is most suitable for people with the five elements spiritual roots in the middle stage of foundation building. It is..." In order to get a good price at the auction, the woman continued to introduce.
"The starting price is one thousand five hundred intermediate spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than fifty intermediate spirit stones." After a while, the auction finally began.
"So expensive?"
As soon as the words fell, many people were speechless. Only people in the late stage of foundation building could afford 1,500 intermediate spirit stones. If it was in the middle stage of foundation building, it would take a lot of time to prepare.
"One thousand five hundred and fifty dollars."
Someone raised the price tentatively.
"One thousand six hundred dollars."
"One thousand six hundred and fifty dollars."
……
"Two thousand dollars!"
After a short while, the price of this pill was pushed up to a sky-high price, but as time went on, the bidders became more and more hesitant.
Two thousand spirit stones, this price has already exceeded the value of the pill itself.
"Two thousand and fifty dollars."
Just when everyone thought that no one would raise the price again, a voice rang out.
The person who spoke just now was naturally Lu Luan.
Although he knew that the price was not worth it, he was attracted by the fact that the pill had few side effects.
"Two thousand and one hundred dollars."
After a brief silence, some people continued to bid. It seemed that they were all attracted by the fact that this pill had few side effects, just as he thought.
Lu Luan just frowned and said, "Two thousand two hundred yuan."
In the past two months, he sold the spiritual herbs and monsters he got on the island and earned nearly three thousand intermediate spirit stones. If he didn't have some wealth, would he dare to come to Yanbo Island to buy things?
He is determined to get this elixir.
"He doesn't even seem to frown. Is he a big shot in the late foundation building stage?"
The people below began to talk among themselves in low voices.
He dared to bid so high because, on the one hand, he had enough strength and confidence. On the other hand, he had purchased treasures with hidden cultivation abilities. Besides, everyone attending the auction was naturally well prepared, so there was nothing strange about it.
It seemed like a long time had passed before the scene finally quieted down.
As for the person who had just fought with him, he gave up after some hesitation and shook his head.
"Two thousand two hundred once."
"……twice."
"……three times."
"make a deal."
As expected, the pill successfully entered his bag.
"Use the remaining spiritual stones to buy ginseng-like spiritual medicine and give it to Xiao Shen to process."
Lu Luan poured a cup of tea and started thinking as he looked at Xiao Shen who was eating the spiritual fruit.
He did not forget to refine his physical body.
Anyone who relies on external objects to improve their cultivation will have some disadvantages. After taking the elixir, he knew that he could not continue to rush to improve within a certain period of time.
With the advantage of the Jing Refining Technique, Lu Luan focuses on strength, but now he has two ways to improve his strength. One is to improve his cultivation so that the physical body has room for further improvement, and the other is to cultivate the physical body's Dharma image, which also has room for the physical body to improve.
While digesting the side effects of the elixir, he can continue to improve his strength by practicing his physical body, which is the best of both worlds.
