A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 459: Demonic Seedling Spiritual Communication

As for being with the people from Pengling Sect, he knew in his heart that if an ordinary person went to Yongquanzhou alone, his fate would probably be the same as the cultivator killed by Lu Fenghai in the Blood Swamp.

People at the Foundation Establishment stage would be bitten into pieces in an instant by those insect generals.

"Friend Hu, what's so special about those insect generals?"

Lu Luan continued to ask.

He also had a certain understanding of the Nether Insect Clan, knowing that they could be divided into three levels according to the strength of their bloodlines: insect soldiers, insect generals, and insect kings.

Among them, the insect soldiers have the lowest bloodline and the largest number. They have basically no intelligence and mostly only act instinctively. They are controlled by the insect generals like puppets.

Hu Ting stroked his beard and said, "The intelligence of insect generals is almost the same as that of humans. The strength of fully developed ones is usually at the Jindan realm. Moreover, they have strong hiding abilities. Normally, they are no different from insect soldiers..."

After that, he added earnestly, "Daoist Lu, I think you have good talent. If everything goes well, it won't be a problem for you to break through to the Half-Step Golden Core in 10 to 20 years. When that time comes, you can go."

Lu Luan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not that easy to improve your cultivation. I can't just break through it if I want to."

"Fellow Daoist Hu, you are going to Yongquanzhou this time because you want to make another breakthrough in your realm, right?" he asked.

Hu Ting nodded silently, "Well, I broke through to the half-step golden elixir fifty years ago, but I failed three times in recent years. This time I tried again in Yongquanzhou, but still failed. In this life, I will never reach the golden elixir realm."

Lu Luan couldn't help but show shock in his eyes, because when impacting, he needed to draw the power of the cave sky into his body to open up the Huangting, but this process was very dangerous, and if he was not careful he would get cut through the body.

Therefore, every attack is a gamble with life. Many people will not have the courage to continue after the first failure. Unexpectedly, Hu Ting in front of him actually tried four times!

It's a miracle that I survived.

Lu Luan also felt respect in his heart and exclaimed: "Hu Daoyou actually attacked four times, it's really admirable!"

"Without success, everything is just a passing cloud. There is nothing to admire."

Hu Ting looked at the disciples flying in the distance and sighed, "Alas, I am old after all. I will stop struggling and focus on training the next generation of disciples for the sect."

There was a hint of reluctance and helplessness in his voice. His body was now aging and on the decline. Without any major adventure, his body would basically have no endurance left. He could only place his hopes on the next generation.

Lu Luan stopped talking. He thought about himself. If he wanted to break through to the Golden Core realm, he would probably have to suffer more than Hu Ting.

I felt the same way, so I replied, "Those with outstanding spiritual roots are better."

"Yes, I heard in Yongquanzhou that a talented disciple of Pengling Sect was left alone and besieged by insect soldiers. However, he broke through from the late foundation building stage to the golden elixir stage during the battle. Not only did he escape danger, he also cut off the head of the insect general and escaped unscathed. This story has been widely circulated in Yongquanzhou."

"That disciple must at least have a profound spiritual root."

"Well, to directly break through from the late stage of foundation building to the golden elixir, only a mysterious level spiritual root can do it. However, before I heard about this kind of breakthrough in a battle, I never dared to think about it."

Hu Ting said bitterly, any normal person would try to reach a certain realm with great caution, devote themselves wholeheartedly, and need someone to protect them around, as if walking on thin ice.

But it is precisely because it is so unbelievable that it has been widely circulated.

"Fellow Daoist Hu..." Lu Luan took this opportunity to ask in detail about the affairs of Yongquanzhou.

The two negotiated for a quarter of an hour.

"Farewell, Fellow Daoist Hu."

Having understood almost everything, Lu Luan did not stay any longer and stood up to leave.

"Goodbye, Fellow Daoist Lu. I have some trivial matters to attend to, so I won't see you off." Hu Ting bowed and smiled at him.

After being polite, Lu Luan flew out and left the Yiqi Sect.

"Golden Core Realm."

In the air, Lu Luan smiled bitterly and muttered to himself. He guessed that Hu Ting's talent should be not much different from Zhou Bufan's. He had failed in four such attacks. He didn't know how difficult it would be for him to make the attack.

In fact, for the Jindan realm, only those with top-grade yellow spiritual roots will find it easier to break through, and have a chance to succeed in one go. As for those below that, it is too difficult. This is why many small sects and families have not produced a person at the Jindan realm for hundreds of years.

"Although I won't succeed that easily, my body is strong and has a strong endurance, and I can withstand the erosion of the power of the cave. Relatively speaking, my chances of breaking through should be higher than Hu Ting's."

Lu Luan thought about it carefully. Hu Ting's body was not as strong as his. It might take a long time for him to recover from the damage after an attack.

But he is different. The Five Thunder Spirit Embryo Art has given him a very strong foundation. Others may only be able to make an attack three or two times in their lifetime, but he can persist ten, twenty or even more times.

"Hey, why think about these things? Let's break through to the half-step golden elixir first and then think about it."

Lu Luan shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

After leaving the Yiqi Sect's territory, he found a hilltop and landed there.

It's time to let the demon seedling absorb the soul.

After sitting cross-legged, he opened his hand, and the magic seedling appeared above his palm.

Perhaps because there has been no spiritual nourishment for almost ten years, the leaves have become wilted and do not look as shiny as before.

"Owner……"

"Ok?"

Suddenly, his brows furrowed and a hoarse voice came from his ear.

"Has it developed spiritual intelligence?"

Lu Luan looked at the magic seedling solemnly. The sound just now was made by it.

I didn't expect that I could speak now.

It absorbs souls for life, and in fact has already begun to develop consciousness.

"Master, I'm hungry..."

The voice sounded a little dull, as if its intelligence was not very high. The roots under the leaves swayed like water plants, and looked very thirsty.

Lu Luan took out the bottle and lured out a beast soul.

"Whoosh!"

The demon seedling immediately shot out its roots and wrapped around it tightly.

Then I saw streams of soul power being absorbed. It looked so impatient, it seemed that the creature had been hungry for too long.

After receiving nutrients from the beast soul, the branches and leaves of the magic seedling began to slowly recover.

"Is this enough?"

Lu Luan asked.

"No... not enough." Mo Ling Miao said while shaking his body.

"Then I'll let you eat enough."

Lu Luan held the bottom of the bottle and put the magic seedlings into it. This was originally a space treasure similar to a storage ring, accommodating more than two hundred souls.

As it entered, the soul inside seemed to sense the murderous intent it emanated and immediately became restless.
