A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 274 Ghost

After a while, Lu Luan and his companions saw the three people leaving in disappointment.

"How are they being used?"

A figure flashed before their eyes, and Zhao Kaishan and Han Yuan appeared in front of them, asking them with their hands behind their backs.

After hearing the voice, Sun Li and Wu Yingyu immediately straightened their expressions and replied seriously: "Don't worry, Brother Zhao, the four of us are already very skilled."

"is it?"

Zhao Kaishan glanced at them, then walked between them with his hands behind his back and said, "In the next few days, I will personally supervise and test your mastery. This trip is to Tianjue Valley, and we are not just wandering around the periphery. If there is any mistake, there will be no recovery."

"That place is not an ordinary place. I have the cultivation base of the middle stage of foundation building, so I can deal with danger. But for the four of you, if this formation is not operated properly, you may spend most of your lives in it. You have also experienced what the island is like."

"Brother Zhao is right."

Everyone nodded in response.

"Let's start." Zhao Kaishan stood in the middle of the four people.

Hearing this, the four of them looked at each other, gestured, and the Mu Xuan Formation was immediately activated.

Zhao Kaishan took a look and then asked calmly, "Are you ready?"

Sun Li smiled and said, "We are ready, but you have to be careful, Brother Zhao. The four of us working together will be hard to deal with."

"hehe."

Zhao Kaishan still had a stern face. After he sneered, the aura around him began to float.

Several people also showed solemn expressions and kept changing their hand gestures. They saw several thorny vines emerging from the ground.

Of course, this is not true, but the Mu Xuan Formation was condensed with the help of the magic power of four people. The combined power is powerful and cannot be underestimated.

"Brother Zhao, be careful!"

Wu Yingyu uttered a sound first, then controlled a vine to wrap around her.

However, Zhao Kaishan was very experienced and he dodged it with just a slight dodge.

The other three were not idle either and also launched attacks.

After a struggle.

"boom!"

Zhao Kaishan seized the opportunity, blocked the attack, then jumped in front of Wu Yingyu and slapped her with his palm.

The entire formation was in turmoil.

“Humph, is this what you have been training for these days? The four of you joined forces with the help of the formation plate and you couldn’t even defeat me. I think you will die on Tianjue Island…”

Zhao Kaishan was not very satisfied with the examination results. He was scolding like a strict father and even had the urge to hit someone.

The three of them also lowered their heads slightly and did not refute anything.

After he vented his anger, Zhao Kaishan probably felt that he had gone too far, or he might have been afraid of affecting Lu Luan's mood, so he apologized to him, "Daoyou Lu, don't take it personally. I was scolding those three. You still behaved very well."

Lu Luan replied: "I don't know how to do it very well either, so I should be trained."

Zhao Kaishan did not say anything else. He looked at the three people, his face regained its angry look, and said angrily: "If you do this again, I will really not care about you. Qingshuiju offers more than ten intermediate spirit stones a month to invite me. I can go there and live a carefree life without worries for half my life. You..."

When he scolded, his words were as ferocious as his appearance, and he was also very rude and merciless, which was very unpleasant to hear.

Lu Luan watched quietly from the side, feeling a little redundant, but he didn't quite believe that Qingshuiju would really offer this reward.

After the spitting stopped, Zhao Kaishan said sternly: "Let's get started. Seven days from now is when the valley's confinement phenomenon will be at its weakest. If you miss it, you don't know when you'll have to wait for the next one. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

The next few people continued to practice.

With Zhao Kaishan's supervision, the four of them gained better and better control of the formation, and their cooperation became more and more tacit.

At first, Zhao Kaishan could occasionally find a few flaws, but gradually he began to be suppressed and started to lose.

In the end, with the full force of the four people, they were able to defeat him.

Lu Luan was also quite surprised at how strict Zhao Kaishan was.

Of course, this trip is dangerous, so it naturally requires rigorous and thorough preparation.

……

Seven days passed amidst the scolding.

"Everyone is almost ready, let's go."

"it is good."

Zhao Kaishan looked at Lu Luan and asked, "Daoyou Lu, how are you preparing?"

Lu Luan said: "Don't worry, Brother Zhao, I have prepared everything."

"In that case, let's set off."

Zhao Kaishan nodded and didn't ask any more questions. After all, he was just an outsider who was temporarily brought in to fill the numbers, so he didn't care much.

When the time was up, the five of them took off into the air.

In the air, Zhao Kaishan specifically told him: "Daoyou Lu, this is your first time there, so stay with us after you get on the island. Don't act rashly, otherwise if you touch any restrictions, I may not be able to save you."

Lu Luan assured: "Don't worry, Brother Zhao, I won't cause any trouble. I know the rules."

"Don't be too nervous. Just follow Brother Zhao. There won't be any danger."

Sun Li, who was traveling with him, saw how serious he was and spoke in a soothing voice.

Next, the few of them flew to Tianjue Island while chatting.

Looking at the few people, Lu Luan thought to himself: "They all seem to be good people, they shouldn't plot against me secretly, but if they really have bad intentions, I don't mind..."

After spending a few days together, he gradually had a clear understanding of their personalities.

He also understood that one can only judge a person by his appearance, and he did not completely trust them. Of course, if they really had other intentions, that would suit him just fine.

"Contain your auras and beware of being detected by some powerful monsters in the sea."

After going out to sea, Zhao Kaishan turned back and gave instructions.

Several people nodded and did as instructed.

Immortal cultivators will go out to sea to slay monsters, but there are also powerful monsters waiting in the sea for their prey to fall into their traps. Every year, countless immortal cultivators die at the hands of monsters in the sea.

Wisps of clouds and mist passed by, and gradually, the island that looked like a giant beast lurking in the sea appeared on the sea level.

Several people also began to look serious.

Zhao Kaishan glanced at him and said to him, "Daoyou Lu, there are only three most dangerous things on Tianjue Island. The first is the illusion arrays that are everywhere. They are like many mirrors. Once you enter, you can't get out. And don't fly after you arrive on the island, otherwise you will be trapped in it. Many people who come to the island for the first time are trapped in the illusion arrays and can't tell the real from the fake. In the end, their true essence is exhausted and they die. Moreover, these illusion arrays are ever-changing and difficult to crack."

"The second is the natural restriction that imprisons the body. If one is weak, he will be imprisoned in the same place. There was once an unlucky cultivator who was imprisoned in the same place on the island for more than 20 years."

"The third one is the ghost. This is a terrifying thing that is unique to Tianjue Island. It is like a ghost, invisible and difficult to kill. It can invade a person's body, occupy the body, and eat away at the soul bit by bit, turning you into a zombie-like monster."

Zhao Kaishan analyzed the pros and cons of the island for him.

"A ghost?"

Lu Luan listened quietly. He had some knowledge about Tianjue Island from the information jade pendant he bought, but he certainly didn't know as much as the other party.

Soon, the five people floated outside the island.

Zhao Kaishan pointed to the distance and said, "Daoyou Lu, that's where we are going."

Lu Luan looked and saw a long and narrow valley between two towering peaks, surrounded by a thin mist, making it hazy and unclear. If there was no danger, it would definitely be an attractive fairyland.

After a few simple words of caution, they landed on the island.

"Ok?"

As soon as he entered the range, Lu Luan felt a restraining force descending upon him.

Then he released his soul.

After sensing it, he frowned and said silently: "The viewing distance of the soul has been suppressed. The rules of this island can really restrict the soul."

He discovered that his soul could originally sense a range of 450 feet, but now it could only sense 200 feet.

Sun Li beside him felt his soul power sweeping over his body, and then he said: "Friend Lu, this island is very strange. We are still outside. If you go inside, your soul will be compressed even smaller, and you can only rely on your eyesight to see. That's why many people are trapped by the illusion array."

"Brother Sun is right. This is Brother Lu's first time here, so you can stay with us at the center." Wu Yingyu said to him.

Lu Luan nodded and smiled.

"gone."

As Zhao Kaishan took the lead, everyone's eyes became more solemn and they slowly followed behind him.

This was only on the outskirts, so it wasn't very dangerous for them. Besides, they had been here before and were familiar with the road.

The group walked slowly under the tall trees.

"I wonder how Xiaocan will feel in this?"

Lu Luan thought to himself, after refining the six qi, he has now reached the foundation-building stage and has his own certain domain, just like Elder Xianlu. This is like the primordial spirit, but also different from the primordial spirit.

As the thought came to him, he transmitted his voice to Xiao Can and opened the Huangting again.

The little guy inside understood and took action immediately.

Soon, a force began to spread out from his body.

This is its unique method, not its soul. It is like a pair of divine eyes spying on it, and the people around it cannot detect it.

"Brother, this place is so weird."

Xiaocan responded to him.

Lu Luan asked: "Has your perception range been compressed?"

"Not really, but I can already feel the power limiting me. It gets stronger the deeper I go."

"It seems that this place has less influence on it than on me, and it really is so."

Lu Luan was delighted, for he knew that Xiao Can's path was to integrate heaven and earth, and the constraints he would face in such a place would definitely be weaker than his own, and he would be able to better display his strengths.

After entering the island, his soul had been restricted to less than 150 feet.

"Xiao Can, take a look, are there any spiritual herbs within your sensing range?" Lu Luan asked.

After carefully examining it for a while, Xiao Can shook his head and said, "That's not the case."

Lu Luan was not surprised by this. After all, this was only the outermost area of ​​Tianjue Island. Although there were certain dangers, some casual cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage would still come here to try their luck. Just like the Xuanshui Sect that they met last time, they used the dangers of this outer area to train their disciples.

"Brother, there is a high-level monster a hundred feet to your right front. Do you want to go and kill it?"

Xiao Can said again.

"What, a high-level demon beast?"

Lu Luan was shocked. He didn't see any high-level monsters within the range of his soul's sensing. He immediately looked carefully, but still saw the same thing.

"Where?"

"Asleep under the big red tree."

Xiaocan introduced him.

Lu Luan's brows suddenly darkened. According to his spiritual sense, there was indeed a red tree with large branches, but there was no high-level monster under the red tree. There was nothing at all.

"Ah, brother, there's a monster floating in the air."

Suddenly, Xiao Can seemed to see something terrifying, and his voice changed with fear.

"What monster?"

Lu Luan asked immediately.

"It's coming, it's coming, so fast."

Xiaocan looked like he was about to cry.

Lu Luan's eyes were solemn, but he didn't show anything. He said in his heart: "It can evade my soul, it seems to be a ghost."

"Brother, it has stopped. It is on a tree 40 feet ahead and above."

Lu Luan looked at the location Xiao Can said, and found that between the tree trunks, there was a red-haired animal that looked like a macaque. It was as tall as a human, with a bloody face. It was holding the tree trunk with one hand and looking at them with a sinister look.

It looks so terrifying, no wonder Xiao Can was so scared.

When the others noticed Lu Luan's strange behavior, they also looked up and shouted when they saw his figure, "It's a ghost!"

"court death!"

Zhao Kaishan was knowledgeable and experienced, and he was not panicked. Even his expression did not change. He just slapped out with his palm.

"Wow!"

"Woo!"

After being hit, the ghost immediately turned into a ball of blood-red gas, letting out a creepy scream and fleeing into the depths.

"puff!"

Something fell from the tree and was exposed in the soul. It was a macaque.

I guess it is controlled by a ghost, which is probably not good for them.

Seeing Lu Luan's unhappy expression, Zhao Kaishan said, "Daoist Lu, this is the most terrifying thing on Tianjue Island, a ghost spirit. It is a unique creature, but it cannot survive after leaving the island. It is not affected by the various forbidden formations on the island and can come and go freely."

"The ghosts outside are not very powerful, they can just scare people, but be careful, they can avoid the perception of our souls. Of course, there is no need to worry too much, they will be exposed to our sight, so we have to leave before dark."

"So that's how it is," Lu Luan replied symbolically.

This was just a minor incident and the group continued on their way.

"I didn't expect Xiaocan to be able to see these things that I can't discover."

On the way, Lu Luan's eyes lit up.

“Brother, there is a spiritual herb over there, but it is just an ordinary one, worth only a few hundred low-level spiritual stones.”

"There is another one, the quality is much better."

After walking for a while, Xiao Can found something good again and told him about it.

At this moment, it is like a pair of undisturbed eyes.

"No hurry, no hurry, it will be ours sooner or later." Lu Luan smiled.

"Brother, how about we come to this island and hang out there in the future? I'll look for spiritual herbs for you, and you can protect me from danger. If we join forces, we'll definitely make a fortune in the future."

Xiao Can looked silly and spoke to him excitedly, as if he was a little kid seeing a pile of candies.

Lu Luan became more and more delighted. He had the same idea. Although Tianjue Island was dangerous, with the help of Xiao Can in the middle and outer periphery, some dangers could be completely avoided.

More importantly, its perception range is huge.
