Honghuang: Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 42 Lu Ya's Test
Lu Ya in the formation had long forgotten his identity and was no longer the Golden Immortal with boundless magical powers. Although he was also called Lu Ya, he was just an ordinary mortal.

Lu Ya was born in an ordinary human tribe.

This tribe has no way of practicing cultivation, nor is it troubled by demons or disasters. It only has birth, old age, sickness and death. It is an ordinary human tribe.

The people in the tribe make a living by hunting and fishing, but they only face some ordinary wild beasts.

Lu Ya was born and raised in a tribe. He learned hunting and fishing from his father. If nothing unexpected happened, he would live an ordinary life like other people in the tribe.

This year, Lu Ya was eighteen years old.

According to the customs of the tribe, he needed to go hunting in the jungle alone, and he could only set out after hunting a wild boar, a wolf or other ferocious beasts.

It's a coming-of-age rite of passage.

With the care and concern of his parents and relatives, Lu Ya stepped into the familiar jungle with a bow and arrow and a hunting knife, starting his own hunting journey.

On this day, Lu Ya finally found the trace of the wild boar.

After following the traces for most of the day, Lu Ya finally saw the wild boars, one male and one female, with seven piglets. This made Lu Ya a little hesitant.

It’s not that I feel pity, but wild boars with piglets are the most dangerous.

Just as Lu Ya was still hesitating, a sword light suddenly appeared from the sky. As the sword light flashed, the boar was suddenly split into two. The sow was frightened and hurriedly ran away with her piglets.

This scene stunned Lu Ya and he was unable to recover for a long time.

It was not until he saw an old man with an immortal look flying in the air from a distance that he came to his senses, but it was only for a moment, and he was filled with incomparable excitement again.

God, he actually met a god.

Although their tribe is just an ordinary tribe, they have passed down legends about gods. This person can fly and kill a wild boar from thousands of miles away. If he is not a god, then what else could he be?
When the old Taoist priest came close, Lu Ya bowed and said, "I am Lu Ya, a boy, and I am here to meet the old immortal."

The old man glanced at Lu Ya calmly, and then said: "Meeting is fate. This time I give you an opportunity. It depends on you what realm you can reach."

As he spoke, the old Taoist raised his hand and pointed, and a stream of light suddenly flowed into Lu Ya's brow.

The old Taoist taught Lu Ya a method of practicing Qi. When Lu Ya finished learning it and woke up from his dazed state, where was the old Taoist?
Despite this, Lu Ya still turned towards the direction the old Taoist had come from and bowed to thank him: "Thank you, old immortal, for the magic you have given me."

After expressing his gratitude, Lu Ya stood up and saw that the wild boar that was cut in two was still there. He couldn't help feeling confused. Why didn't the old immortal want the prey after hunting?

But without giving it much thought, he immediately tied up the wild boar with vines and dragged it back with great effort.

It no longer matters whether he hunted the wild boar himself or not. Now Lu Ya just wants to go back quickly to practice the magic skills passed down to him by the old immortal.

After returning to the tribe and briefly paying homage to the elders, Lu Ya went back home to practice magic.

This training lasted for three years.

For three years, Lu Ya never told other people in the tribe about his acquisition of the magic. After all, the old immortal passed the magic to him, but did not indicate that he could pass it on to others.

He himself devoted all his time and energy to spiritual practice.

Apart from daily hunting, fishing and other trivial matters necessary for life, Lu Ya abandoned all distractions, and even postponed the marriage that his parents had arranged for him again and again.

Three years. It took a full three years.

With Lu Ya's perseverance, it took him three full years to successfully get started and become a Qi Refiner of the first level.

Although the speed of cultivation was slow, Lu Ya was not unhappy at all. After all, it was not easy to become an immortal. He would not give up even if it took thirty years, let alone three years. When he was successful in cultivation, Lu Ya was extremely excited and left home immediately and went into the mountains.

After some experiments, Lu Ya had a certain understanding of his current strength, although he could not fly in the sky like the old immortal and take the enemy's head from thousands of miles away.

But he is also several times stronger than before.

With the blessing of true Qi, his strength, speed, and other abilities have increased exponentially. Now, not to mention hunting wild boars, even hunting tigers is no problem at all.

Now that he was here, Lu Ya planned to bring some prey back with him.

Just as he was looking for prey, by chance, he discovered a strange cave, which was covered by a formation outside.

The Taoist magic that he passed down included not only the cultivation methods, but also some basic techniques, alchemy, and formations.

In addition to practicing over the years, Lu Ya also tried to think about those things, but due to his cultivation level, he did not gain much. However, identifying formations is not a difficult task.

Moreover, the formation he discovered appeared and disappeared from time to time, which was obviously a sign of insufficient energy.

Judging from this, this cave must have been abandoned long ago, or the owner of the cave must have died, otherwise this situation would never have occurred.

Thinking of this, Lu Ya couldn't help but get excited and immediately started to break the formation.

Although Lu Ya was only at the first level of Qi training, the energy of the formation was already insufficient and it was broken by him in a short time. Lu Ya could not wait to enter the cave.

The space inside the cave is very large, and it does not seem to be man-made, but rather like a natural cave.

In the center of the cave, there is a round stone platform with a three-legged jade tripod on it. Just below the tripod, there is a figure sitting cross-legged.

When he saw the figure just now, Lu Ya was startled, but after a closer look, he found the problem.

There was no life in the man.

When he got closer, Lu Ya discovered that the man was extremely skinny, as if there was only a layer of skin over his bones. He was actually a dried-up corpse.

Suddenly, Lu Ya's attention fell on the fingers of the mummy's right hand.

I saw that he was wearing a green ring on his right thumb. The bright green light was particularly dazzling in the darkness. It was obvious at a glance that it was not an ordinary object.

"Cuckoo..."

It would be a lie for Lu Ya to say he wasn't moved when he saw the treasure, as it was easy to tell from the way he swallowed his saliva.

Without much hesitation, Lu Ya bowed to the corpse, then carefully took the ring off the mummy's thumb.

After some research, it was discovered that the ring was actually a storage ring.

Since the original owner was dead, Lu Ya naturally refined the storage ring very easily. He probed his consciousness into it and found only a few jade slips.

Despite this, Lu Ya was also very excited.

He hurriedly took out a jade slip and examined it. The jade slip was not a high-end item, but just an ordinary jade slip with recorded text.

As he watched, Lu Ya's brows gradually furrowed.
