Immortality Cultivation: I can use my clansmen’s energy and blood to add points.

Finally one day, they came to an open space.

There was an ancient altar standing in the middle of the open space, and on the altar were several treasures emitting brilliant light.

These treasures are obviously the opportunities and treasures they have been looking for.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi looked at each other and saw excitement and anticipation in each other's eyes.

They walked towards the altar cautiously, fearing to disturb some unknown existence.

But when they actually touched the treasures, nothing unexpected happened.

It turns out that these treasures are not evil things but spiritual objects condensed from the natural essence of heaven and earth.

They can improve the practitioner's cultivation and understanding, making the path of cultivation smoother.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi each chose a treasure that suited them and solemnly put it in their pockets.

They knew that these treasures would be an important aid in their future cultivation.

Before leaving the valley, Luo Chen and Liang Qi specially expressed their gratitude to the old hunter and left enough rewards as a thank you.

They knew that without the old hunter's guidance and help, they might never find this treasure land.

Then Luo Chen and Liang Qi left.

Liang Qi planned to continue selling the goods he had brought with great difficulty.

Luo Chen, on the other hand, followed Liang Qi's team.

Anyway, he has nothing to do.

So I'll follow and take a look.

Southern Qi City.

This is Liang Qi’s destination.

"Brother Luo, we're here."

"It is said that this Nanqi City is extremely prosperous, with a permanent population of more than two million. It is considered the largest city in the vicinity."

Nanqi City, this shining pearl standing in the vast territory, is indeed worthy of its reputation.

The city wall is towering into the clouds and is made of bluestone. It remains extremely solid despite wind, frost, rain and snow, as if it can withstand any intrusion from the world.

Above the city gate, a huge plaque is engraved with the three big characters "Nanqi City". The brushstrokes are vigorous and majestic, attracting people to stop and look up.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi rode slowly into the city on horseback, and the view in front of them suddenly became clear.

There are shops on both sides of the street with colorful signs, and it is very lively.

The streets are crowded with people, and the cries of vendors and the bargaining of customers are intertwined to form a vivid symphony of the market.

Luo Chen couldn't help but secretly admire that the prosperity of Nanqi City was far beyond his previous imagination.

They found an inn to settle down, and after a short rest, Liang Qi couldn't wait to drag Luo Chen to the market.

The market is full of a wide variety of goods, ranging from precious medicinal herbs, rare minerals, to exquisite handicrafts and tempting delicacies.

Luo Chen found all of this new and novel. He looked around as he walked, stopping from time to time to carefully examine objects he had never seen before.

Liang Qi looked very familiar with the place. He took Luo Chen through the crowd and greeted familiar vendors from time to time. It was obvious that he had a lot of connections here.

As he walked, he introduced Luo Chen to the customs and culture of Nanqi City, as well as various interesting stories and legends.

Luo Chen listened with great interest and his understanding of this city gradually deepened.

After getting tired of shopping, they found a teahouse to sit down and taste the unique fragrant tea of ​​Nanqi City.

Inside the teahouse, the environment is elegant and the melodious music of the piano makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi drank tea and chatted, enjoying this rare leisure time.

Suddenly, there was a burst of noise outside the teahouse, breaking the silence inside.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi looked out of the window at the same time, and saw a group of young men and women in gorgeous clothes walking in, surrounded by a young man.

The young man had a handsome face and an imposing manner. The maids and guards who followed him all appeared to be well-trained and had extraordinary aura.

The guests in the teahouse cast curious glances and talked a lot.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi also smiled at each other and continued to drink their tea, not intending to pay too much attention to the trivial matters of these wealthy aristocrats.

However, the young man seemed to be looking for them on purpose and walked straight to the door of the private room where they were.

He stopped and glanced at Luo Chen and Liang Qi, then said, "You two look very unfamiliar. Is this your first time in Nanqi City?"

Luo Chen frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

But he also knew that this was Nanqi City after all, someone else's territory, and he should not act rashly.

So, he smiled and politely replied, "Yes, this is indeed our first time in Nanqi City. I wonder if you have any advice for us, sir?"

After hearing this, the young master said, "It's not that I'm giving you any advice, but I just saw that you two are very generous and wanted to make some friends. I wonder if you two would be willing to do me the honor?"

Luo Chen was secretly on guard in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.

He looked at Liang Qi, only to see that Liang Qi also had a wary look on his face.

They exchanged glances and understood each other's meaning.

This young man has bad intentions and must be dealt with with caution.

Luo Chen smiled slightly and said, "It is hard to refuse your kindness, sir. We are willing to make friends with you, but we are new here and don't know much about Nanqi City. I am afraid that we will spoil your interest."

The young man didn't seem to care about Luo Chen's refusal. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I can take you to understand the places you don't understand. Let's go. I'll take you to a good place."

Having said that, he turned and was about to leave.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi looked at each other. Although they were reluctant, it was not easy for them to refuse directly.

So they followed the young man out of the teahouse.

Along the way, the young man kept introducing the scenic spots and special food of Nanqi City to them, but Luo Chen and Liang Qi listened absent-mindedly. They knew that this young man would never invite them to play so simply, and there must be an ulterior motive behind it.

Sure enough, when they arrived in front of a luxurious mansion, the young man's face suddenly became serious.

He turned to Luo Chen and Liang Qi and said, "You two, this is my mansion. I asked you to come here today because I have an important matter that I would like to ask for your help."

Luo Chen and Liang Qi were both startled when they heard this.

They knew that the young man had finally revealed his true intentions.

But they also understood that there was no way out at this point and they could only deal with it head on.

The young man continued, "My family has recently encountered a strange thing. Every night someone disappears inexplicably. I sent people to investigate for a long time, but still couldn't find any clues. I heard that you two are practitioners with extraordinary abilities, so I would like to ask you to help find out the truth of this matter."

Luo Chen and Liang Qi looked at each other in surprise when they heard this.

They didn't expect that this young man would know their identities, and they didn't expect that he would ask them to investigate the case. But they also knew that since they had already stepped into this trap, it would be difficult to get out of it unscathed.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment and decided to find out the other party's background first, so he said, "Sir, you are too kind. We are just some insignificant skills, how dare we call ourselves practitioners? But since you have a request from us, we will naturally do our best to help you. But this matter sounds quite strange. I wonder if you are willing to tell us the details?"

Seeing that Luo Chen did not directly refuse, the young man's eyes flashed with joy, and then he nodded and said, "Please follow me, both of you."

As he said that, he led Luo Chen and Liang Qi into the mansion.

Inside the mansion, there are pavilions, towers, carved beams and painted buildings, all displaying an atmosphere of luxury.

However, beneath this luxury, there is a sense of uneasiness and depression.

The young master led them through corridors and finally arrived at a remote courtyard.

"This is where my missing servants were last seen."

The young master said in a deep voice, his tone unable to conceal his worry, "Every night, they disappear quietly. No matter how hard we search, we can't find any trace of them."

Luo Chen looked around and saw lush vegetation in the courtyard, but in this vitality, there seemed to be some unknown secrets hidden.

He closed his eyes, used his spiritual power, and tried to sense any abnormalities around him.

However, what surprised him was that apart from the normal fluctuations of spiritual energy, there was no abnormal aura here.

"Brother Liang, do you feel it?"

Luo Chen asked Liang Qi beside him in a low voice.

Liang Qi shook his head, frowning: "No, everything is normal here, but it is this normality that makes me feel uneasy. Maybe we need to wait until night to find out the clues."

Hearing this, the young man showed a trace of anxiety on his face: "But, I can't wait any longer. Every day I wait, more people may suffer misfortune. I implore you two to find out the truth as soon as possible and rescue those missing people."

Luo Chen and Liang Qi looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.

They knew that this was not only to help the young man, but also to uncover the truth hidden behind it and protect the peace of this land.

"Don't worry, sir. We will do our best."

Luo Chen promised solemnly.

So they decided to stay in the mansion and wait for the night to come.

As night fell, everything was quiet and the entire mansion was immersed in silence.

However, beneath this silence lies an unknown crisis.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi held their breath and carefully moved through every corner of the mansion.

They knew that this was the time when disappearances were happening and they had to remain vigilant at all times.

Suddenly, a faint sound of wind caught their attention.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi looked at each other and immediately chased after him.

They passed through corridors and finally arrived at the remote courtyard.

At this time, the scene in the courtyard had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The originally lush vegetation became withered and dead, and a strange smell filled the air.

In a corner of the courtyard, a vague figure was slowly emerging.

"who is it?"

Luo Chen shouted loudly, his spiritual power surged, and his body shot out, heading straight for the blurry figure.

However, when he got closer to the figure, he found that it was not a person, but a huge monster.

The monster was covered with blood-red scales, its eyes were like torches, and its mouth had sharp fangs, making it look extremely ferocious.

"This is... the demon beast Red Blood?"

Liang Qi exclaimed, he obviously recognized the identity of this monster: "Why did it appear here? Could it be that those missing people were killed by it?"

Luo Chen did not answer. His eyes were fixed on the monster Chixue, and his heart was full of vigilance.

He knew that this monster was extremely powerful and he had to deal with it with caution.

The monster Chixue seemed to have sensed the threat from Luo Chen and Liang Qi. It let out a deafening roar, and its body suddenly grew several times in size, standing in the courtyard like a small mountain.

"Get ready to fight!"

Luo Chen said in a deep voice, he knew that he and Liang Qi had no way to retreat and could only fight to the end.

Upon hearing this, Liang Qi took a deep breath, clenched his hands into fists, and the spiritual power in his body surged. It was obvious that he was ready for battle.

The two men stood back to back, looking around vigilantly to prevent the monster Red Blood from suddenly attacking.

The red-blooded monster growled, with cruel light flashing in its blood-red eyes. Its huge body cast a huge shadow on the ground, making the entire courtyard look even more eerie and terrifying.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi could feel the powerful pressure emanating from it. It was a sense of oppression coming from deep within its ancient bloodline, which made people's hearts palpitate.

"Brother Liang, we have to find a way to lure it away. We can't let it wreak havoc in the mansion."

Luo Chen whispered to Liang Qi that he understood that if the monster got out of control in the mansion, the consequences would be disastrous.

Liang Qi nodded and quickly took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms. This was a talisman that he accidentally obtained on the road of cultivation. It could instantly teleport the user to a depth of dozens of meters underground.

He planned to use this talisman to lure away the monster and create an opportunity for Luo Chen to attack.

"Brother Luo, be careful!"

Liang Qi shouted, then crushed the earth escape talisman, and his figure flashed and disappeared under the ground.

Seeing this, the red-blooded monster roared, and leaped forward with its huge body, rushing towards the place where Liang Qi disappeared.

However, when it found only a shallow pit on the ground, it roared angrily, and swept its huge tail around, smashing the trees and rockery in the yard to pieces.

Luo Chen took the opportunity to launch an attack. He shuttled around the monster like a ghost, using his agile body to dodge the monster's attacks while looking for its flaws.

He knew very well that it was not wise to confront such a powerful monster head-on, and he had to find an opportunity to give it a fatal blow.

After a fierce confrontation, Luo Chen finally discovered a weakness of the monster, its abdomen.

Although it was covered with thick scales, it seemed softer than other places.

Luo Chen was delighted and immediately concentrated all his spiritual power, preparing to launch the final attack.

He took a deep breath, and shot out, rushing towards the belly of the monster like an arrow.

The moment he approached the monster, he clasped his hands together, gathered his spiritual power into a bright sword light, and stabbed fiercely into the monster's abdomen.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang, and the sword light collided with the scales of the monster, bursting out with dazzling light.

The monster roared in pain, and its huge body began to tremble violently. (End of this chapter)
