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

"We are willing to go with you, but we hope you can ensure our safety." Qingshuang said calmly.

The old man nodded and signaled the practitioners behind him to make way.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang held the spirit crystal tightly and followed the old man into the tribe deep in the desert.

In the tribe, ancient buildings are scattered in an orderly manner, and the practitioners move around in them in an orderly manner.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were brought to a magnificent palace, and the old man asked them to sit down at a stone table.

“The spirit crystal in your hands is a sacred object that our tribe has guarded for generations. It contains powerful power, but it is also full of danger.” The old man said slowly.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were shocked. They didn't expect that Ling Jing had such a close connection with this tribe.

They began to realize that perhaps their previous research methods were not entirely correct.

"We are willing to cooperate with you to jointly study the power of spirit crystals." Luo Chen said sincerely.

A glimmer of approval flashed in the old man's eyes and he nodded.

"Very good, you will explore the mysteries of the Spirit Crystal together with the elites of our tribe, but you must abide by our rules and not act on your own."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang nodded in agreement. They knew that this was a rare opportunity that might help them better understand the power of spirit crystals and also bring new hope to the tribe.

In the following days, Luo Chen and Qingshuang, together with the practitioners in the tribe, began an in-depth study of spirit crystals.

They discovered that the spirit crystal contained an ancient and mysterious energy that could resonate with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Under the guidance of the tribal elites, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gradually mastered how to utilize the power of spirit crystals.

Their cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and they even began to touch a higher level.

However, just as they were immersed in the joy of cultivation, an ominous aura descended again.

This time, they will face a more powerful enemy, and this enemy may be inextricably linked to the spirit crystal.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang knew that they had to be prepared to meet this unprecedented challenge.

"Elder."

Luo Chen came to the old man with mysterious lines painted on his face.

"Elder, the atmosphere around the tribe seems to be a little abnormal recently. I feel an ominous force approaching."

Luo Chen said to the old man with a serious look.

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment's silence, he said, "What you said is true. The guardians of our tribe have also noticed this. The source of this power is probably directly related to the spirit crystal."

Luo Chen nodded. His and Qingshuang's contact with spirit crystals during this period had given them a deeper understanding of this mysterious energy.

They knew that although the power of the spirit crystal was strong, if it was used by people with bad intentions, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Elder, we need to do something to stop the spread of this power."

Qingshuang also joined the conversation, her eyes firm, revealing her unquestionable determination.

The old man slowly stood up, walked to a corner of the hall, and took out a yellowed ancient book from an ancient cabinet.

"This is a secret book passed down from generation to generation in our tribe. It contains many secrets about spirit crystals. Perhaps we can find a way to deal with it from it."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang followed the old man to the table and carefully read the ancient books.

Ancient books record the origin of Lingjing, its connection with the desert, and some ancient rituals and spells.

Among them, a spell called "Spirit Crystal Seal" caught their attention.

"This spell seems to be used to seal the unstable energy in the spirit crystal." Luo Chen whispered the words on the ancient book with a frown.

"However, to cast this spell, one needs extremely high cultivation and precise control of the energy of the spirit crystal."

Qingshuang added that she knew the difficulty of the task.

The old man nodded in agreement.

"You have demonstrated extraordinary talent and strength. Perhaps you are the guardian our tribe has been waiting for. Only you can try this spell."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They knew that this was a battle with no retreat.

They must succeed, or the whole desert, and perhaps even beyond, could be plunged into chaos and disaster.

"We are willing to give it a try." Luo Chen said firmly.

In the following days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, under the guidance of the tribal elites, began to prepare to cast the "Spirit Crystal Seal" spell.

They studied every detail in the ancient books in depth and constantly practiced methods to control the energy of spiritual crystals.

Finally, on a stormy night, they were ready.

The practitioners of the tribe formed a circle to protect them.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang stood on the altar, each holding a piece of spirit crystal fragment in their hands, and began to chant ancient spells.

As the spell progressed, the spirit crystal fragments began to glow brightly, and a powerful energy wave spread from them.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt that their strength had merged with the energy of the spirit crystal, and their minds seemed to be connected to the entire desert.

Just when the spell was about to be completed, a powerful backlash force suddenly struck.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt a sharp pain, but they gritted their teeth and did not give up.

They knew that this was the final moment and success or failure depended on it.

With their persistence, the backlash force was gradually suppressed and the unstable energy in the spirit crystal was successfully sealed.

A strange halo appeared in the sky of the entire desert, which was a sign that the spirit crystal seal was successful.

The practitioners of the tribe cheered, they knew that Luo Chen and Qingshuang had protected the purity of the spirit crystal.

At the same time, it can be considered as saving them.

The old man stepped forward and bowed deeply to them.

"Thank you, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, you are the true guardians. Your courage and strength will be remembered by us forever."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, and then said: "Elder, you don't have to do this. This is what I should do, and I have benefited a lot from this matter. We have achieved mutual success."

Qingshuang nodded slightly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

She knew that the successful sealing of the unstable energy in the spirit crystal not only brought peace to the tribe, but also opened a new chapter in her and Luo Chen's path of cultivation.

"Elder, we hope to continue staying in the tribe and delve deeper into the mysteries of spirit crystals." Qingshuang said sincerely.

A trace of relief flashed in the old man's eyes, and he nodded: "Your decision makes our tribe deeply honored. You will receive more resources and guidance to help you further improve your cultivation."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang spent countless days and nights in the tribe. They discussed and exchanged ideas with the practitioners in the tribe, and constantly broke through their own limits.

They gradually comprehended the deeper power contained in the spirit crystals, and even began to master some ancient spells.

At the same time, the tribe became more prosperous because of the existence of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

They not only brought peace to the tribe, but also brought new hope and future to the tribe.

However, the peaceful days did not last long.

One night, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness. They quickly rushed to the tribe's altar and found that the seal of the spirit crystal had a slight crack.

"How is this possible? We have clearly successfully sealed the unstable energy in the spirit crystal." Luo Chen said with a frown.

A trace of worry flashed across Qingshuang's eyes: "It seems that we still underestimated the power of the spirit crystal. Perhaps there are deeper hidden dangers that have not been discovered."

The old man rushed over upon hearing the news and said solemnly, "We must find the root cause of the problem as soon as possible, otherwise the entire desert will face an unprecedented disaster."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang nodded. They knew that this mission was more difficult than ever before.

They began to study the Lingjing's sealing spell in depth, trying to find the loopholes in it.

After countless days and nights of hard work, they finally discovered that the reason why cracks appeared in the spirit crystal seal was because there was a fatal flaw in the sealing spell itself.

This defect can only be compensated by the help of an extremely rare natural treasure.

"We must find this kind of rare treasure, otherwise the seal cannot be completely secure." Luo Chen said seriously.

A trace of determination flashed in Qingshuang's eyes: "Then let us go and look for it. No matter how difficult it is, we must protect this desert."

The old man's face was full of gratitude: "Thank you, thank you very much."

After leaving the desert.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang first found a place to settle down in a small town outside the desert.

The town is not big and its population is not large.

However, the atmosphere in the town is also quite good.

"Luo Chen, what a treasure."

Before Qing Shuang finished her words, Luo Chen interrupted her: "I know we have to act as soon as possible, but before that, we need to collect some information about the mysterious treasure."

The two decided to ask for information in the small town first.

They walked into a tavern that looked quite busy, filled with adventurers and merchants of all kinds.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang found a corner to sit down, ordered some food and drinks, and began to listen to the conversations around them.

Soon, they heard some rumors about rare treasures.

It is said that in the far east, there is a place called the "Ghost Forest", where grows a rare plant called the "Ghost Flower". The roots of the plant contain powerful energy that may be able to make up for the flaws of the Spirit Crystal Seal.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew this was a clue, but the dangers of the Ghost Forest were also well known.

They decided to set out only after they were fully prepared.

In the town, they purchased necessary supplies and equipment, and also inquired for some detailed information about the Ghost Forest.

It is said that all kinds of strange creatures live in the forest, including some ferocious monsters, and the depths of the forest are often shrouded in a layer of mysterious fog, making navigation extremely difficult.

After everything was ready, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang embarked on their journey to the Ghost Forest.

A few days later, the two arrived at the Ghost Forest.

At the entrance of the forest, there is an ancient stone tablet with some vague words engraved on it.

After careful identification, Luo Chen found that it was a warning: "Those who enter the ghost forest must proceed with caution, as there are endless dangers hidden in the fog."

Instead of retreating, they stepped firmly into the forest.

The fog quickly surrounded them and their vision became blurry.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang relied on each other's perception and experience and moved forward cautiously.

Soon, they encountered the first wave of challenges.

A group of ghost-like creatures emerged from the mist and attacked them.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang reacted quickly and started a fierce battle with these creatures.

After the battle, they continued deeper into the forest.

As they get closer to where the ghost flowers grow, the creatures they encounter become more and more powerful.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang overcame all these obstacles with their tacit cooperation and strong will.

Finally, after several days of arduous journey, they found the ghost flower.

It was a strange flower that emitted a faint fluorescent light, and its roots indeed contained powerful energy.

Luo Chen carefully dug out the roots of the ghost flower and preserved them properly.

They knew that this would be a vital material for the Spirit Crystal Seal.

As long as we can bring it back, the next problem will probably not be a problem anymore.

"Be careful."

Luo Chen said to Qing Shuang beside him: "I always feel that the atmosphere is getting weirder and weirder, and something is wrong."

Qingshuang nodded. She also felt the ominous atmosphere in the air.

The two of them looked around more vigilantly, afraid of missing any slight movement.

Just as they were about to leave the ghost peanut growth area, suddenly, a cold wind blew in from the depths of the forest, bringing with it a chilling chill.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately stood back to back, ready to deal with any threats that might arise.

"Be careful, something is coming." Luo Chen whispered, his hand already tightly gripping the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Qingshuang also held her staff tightly, her eyes scanning the surroundings like lightning.

In the fog, a huge black shadow slowly emerged. It was a huge monster. Its eyes were like burning flames, emitting a ferocious light.

"It's the guardian of the Ghost Forest, the Ghost Beast!" Qingshuang exclaimed.

The ghost beast let out a deafening roar, and the whole forest seemed to tremble.

It took heavy steps and rushed towards Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not dare to delay and immediately used their strongest attack spells and sword skills.

The battle was extremely fierce, and every attack of the ghost beast carried destructive power.

Although Luo Chen and Qing Shuang fought hard, they were still forced to retreat step by step.

Just when they were about to collapse, Luo Chen suddenly had an idea. He remembered an ancient spell that he had learned in the tribe before.

"Qingshuang, use the space sealing technique!" Luo Chen shouted.

Qingshuang immediately understood Luo Chen's intention. She quickly cast a spell, and a powerful spatial force formed around the ghost beast, trapping it in a limited space.

The ghost beast roared, but was unable to break through the invisible cage.

Luo Chen took the opportunity to rush forward, injected all his strength into the sword in his hand, and stabbed the ghost beast in the vitals.

The sword flashed, and the ghost beast let out a final wail before finally falling down. (End of this chapter)
