Chapter 331: Old People and Old Places
Chapter 331: Old People and Old Places
"Master, where is my brother?"
After a while, Niaoyan walked in, and seeing that Lu Luan was nowhere to be seen, she asked in confusion.
Elder Lu stood by the pavilion, looking into the distance, and said calmly, "Gone."
"Brother, you're such a jerk. You didn't even say hello when you left."
……
……
Lu Luan was suspended in the air, looking at the undulating mountains below him. He murmured, "The Falling Star Valley is on the other side of the Wudu Sea. If we cross this sea, we may run into trouble."
To get to the Falling Star Valley now, the shortest distance is naturally to go straight across the No Crossing Sea. He calculated that if he flew quickly, it would only take three or four days.
However, there are huge monsters lurking in the depths of the Wudu Sea, and the sky above the vast ocean is even more terrifying. If he goes alone and is besieged by monsters, it will be dangerous. This is not a good idea. His current strength does not allow him to be so confident.
"Let's fly over land and visit some old people and places."
After thinking about it, Lu Luan decided to take the land route, because this would pass by Haoyun City and the former site of Zhengyang Gate. He had been away from "home" for so long, and it was time to go back and take a look this time.
If you go by land, you naturally have to go around the coast. If you go to the former site of Zhengyangmen, the distance will be more than five times longer. If you fly normally, it will take about half a month.
After making up his mind, he looked back at the small town and said silently: "If I really die in there, it would be good for the little guy to follow the elders. If he can join the Wuyuan Sect, like Mo Ran, he won't have to worry about his safety."
He had no idea about this trip. His strength had been growing smoothly before and he had even planned to give up, but the matter of his spiritual roots forced him to think about it again.
The spiritual roots must be refined, otherwise the cultivation will come to a standstill. Although there are many ways to refine the spiritual roots, now he can only focus on the Anti-Spirit Array.
It can be said that he didn't actually hold out much hope of coming out alive this time, which was why he left Xiao Can behind. There was no need to let it take these dangers with him.
After thinking for a while, he collected his thoughts, moved his sleeves, a whirlwind blew, and his figure disappeared.
He did not fly at full speed, but at a normal speed, so the consumption of true energy could be almost negligible. At the same time, he also wanted to appreciate the magnificent scenery of the world of immortal cultivation.
……
Time passed slowly, and ten days passed.
Lu Luan didn't know how many hundreds of miles he had walked and how many mountains he had seen rising and falling. Finally, his figure slowly stopped in the air.
Before his eyes, a huge city appeared among the mountains.
He was very familiar with this place, having stayed here for several years. This was Haoyun City. It was here that he acquired the God-Slaying Technique that had saved his life several times.
When he fled here, he was just a small cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining. To him at this moment, his strength was ridiculously insignificant.
Times have passed, and now when I pass by here, I can’t help but be reminded of the past.
Looking at the green peak in the center of the city, inside is the Haoyun Cave, which contains his most precious and inseparable memories.
The scene brought back memories to his mind. His eyes flickered and a bead appeared in his hand. Although this thing was very ordinary, he always carried it with him like a precious jade.
Looking at the bead, he felt a hint of anticipation in his heart, hoping that it would emit a hint of light just like last time.
But after looking at it for a long time, it still looked like a pearl covered with dust, without any change.
"Oh." Lu Luan sighed deeply in his heart and put it away carefully.
"I wonder how Junior Sister is doing now?"
Looking ahead, he murmured, thinking of Murong Xue, who was probably one of the few people he knew now.
He was wondering how the Lin family was doing now. Should he go and have a look?
After thinking for a while, he flew towards the city.
If you pass by here, take a look at this old place and old people.
But as soon as he got close, he felt something unusual.
The Haoyun City is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. There are closed shops everywhere and not many independent cultivators walking around.
"Fellow Daoist, what's going on with Haoyun City? Why has it become like this?"
He casually stopped a casual cultivator of the fifth level of Qi Refining who was passing by and asked.
"Fellow Daoist, you haven't been to Haoyun City for a few years, right?" the man said.
"Ah."
Lu Luan nodded.
"Fellow Daoist, you may not know that this is because the Haoyun Cave Heaven has been destroyed."
"Why was the cave destroyed?" Lu Luan was puzzled.
"I heard that it was a powerful Jindan master who made the move. His pressure was like the sea. He destroyed the entrance to this cave with one palm. Since then, this cave has been inaccessible. Therefore, there are few independent cultivators. Over time, it has been like this."
"I see."
Fellow Daoist Lu understood that the reason why Haoyun City was so prosperous twenty years ago was all because of the cave. Now that the cave was destroyed, there was nothing to attract casual cultivators to come here anymore.
However, Haoyun City is located deep in the mountains and its resources are far less abundant than those cities near the ocean. If immortal cultivators do not come here, the people in the city will not be able to stay here, so it would be strange if it did not decline.
Next he moved his feet, and soon he came to a large courtyard, stepped on the flying tiles, and looked down.
This is the Lin family.
"Still no one is at the Foundation Establishment stage?"
He sensed it and found that the strongest member of the Lin family was still at the tenth level of Qi Refining. Over the past twenty years, not much has changed and the population is still only over a hundred people.
For a small family like this that makes a living by selling low-level elixirs, if there is no breakthrough in their spiritual roots, it is not easy to have a member in the family reach the foundation-building stage.
"It seems that her injuries have recovered."
After sensing, he looked to one side.
In his sight, a woman in white and a man were sitting together in the pavilion, and there was a child about ten years old lying on the table next to them. The woman was holding a scroll and teaching something slowly, and the child was listening attentively.
This person is naturally Murong Xue. After so many years, the passage of time has left traces on her body, and her appearance has changed a bit. Lu Luan can sense that her inner aura is very strong at this moment, and her purple palace is full, which is a sign of breaking through the foundation-building realm.
To be able to recover from such a serious injury, it seems that this small family really invested a lot of money.
After looking at it for a while, he shifted his gaze to another place.
He seemed to have seen something, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and then he chuckled.
He saw Lin Yueyue. The little girl who used to be disrespectful and never grew up had now become well-behaved. However, what surprised him was that he also saw someone else, and that was Luo Yi.
He didn't expect that the two of them would actually end up together, and he had to sigh at the wonder of fate.
"It's all good."
Lu Luan spoke in a calm tone. After he spoke softly, he took a step and disappeared.
Like a breeze, it seemed as if it had never been there, and no one noticed or knew about it.
