The two men rode the blood-red spirit horses given to them by the aliens, and moved forward silently in a certain direction.

"what is this?"

Luo Chen saw a stone with words engraved on it, so he walked forward.

Luo Chen squatted down and looked at the stone carefully.

There were some ancient words engraved on the stone. These words seemed to contain some mysterious power, which made him feel an inexplicable attraction.

Qing Shuang also came over and whispered, "This seems to be ancient Chinese. I have seen similar symbols in Master's collection of books."

Luo Chen nodded, took out a piece of paper and a pen from his arms, and began to carefully copy down the words on the stone.

He knew that these words might contain important information, perhaps related to the purpose of their trip.

After finishing copying, Luo Chen carefully put away the paper, and then said to Qing Shuang: "Let's go back and find someone to interpret these words."

The two men rode on the blood-red spirit horses, quickened their speed, and headed towards the nearest town.

They know that time is running out and that peace on the border has just been secured, but new challenges may come at any time.

After arriving in the town, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang found a scholar who specialized in ancient Chinese literature.

After seeing the words on the paper, the scholar frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "These words probably say that there is a small house hidden in the distant red maple forest. A cultivator once lived in the house. But no one knows whether this is true or not."

When Luo Chen heard this, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

Red maple forest?
What is this place?
Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion and curiosity.

Red Maple Forest was an unfamiliar name to them, but the legend of the immortal cultivator stirred up waves in their hearts.

"Where is the red maple forest?" Qingshuang asked.

The scholar smiled and pointed to an area on the map: "This place is about a hundred miles away from here, but you must be careful. It is said that there are all kinds of strange creatures and dangerous traps in the red maple forest."

Luo Chen nodded, thanked the scholar for his help, and then left the town with Qingshuang.

They rode on blood-red spirit horses and galloped towards the red maple forest.

Along the way, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang talked about various legends about immortal cultivators. It is said that immortal cultivators can master powerful powers and even achieve immortality.

If the words on the stone really point to the residence of an immortal cultivator, then they might be able to find some precious cultivation secrets or powerful magic weapons.

After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the red maple forest.

The forest is ablaze with red leaves and the scenery is magnificent, but there is a sense of mystery in the air.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang carefully went deep into the forest, alert to possible dangers around them.

Soon they discovered a hidden path that seemed to lead deeper into the woods.

The two walked along the path and finally saw a dilapidated hut in an open area.

There is an ancient and mysterious atmosphere around the cottage, as if it hides endless secrets.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other, their hearts filled with anticipation and nervousness.

They carefully pushed open the door of the cabin, and a gust of stale air blew in their faces.

The house was covered with dust, but some ancient books and magic weapons could be vaguely seen.

The two began to search the house carefully, hoping to find some useful clues.

Suddenly, Luo Chen found a yellowed ancient book among a pile of books.

He carefully turned the pages of the book and found that it contained many secret methods and experiences about cultivating immortals.

Qingshuang came over and the two of them read the contents of the ancient book together.

As they read more, they gradually understood the true meaning of being an immortal cultivator and how to reach a higher level through practice.

However, just as they were immersed in the world of ancient books, a strange sound suddenly came from outside the house.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang quickly stood up, gripped their weapons tightly, and looked towards the door vigilantly.

The door slowly opened and a figure appeared at the door.

He was a white-haired old man, with wisdom gleaming in his eyes.

The old man looked at Luo Chen and Qing Shuang with a smile, as if he had already anticipated their arrival.

"Welcome, young cultivator." The old man's voice was gentle but powerful: "I am the owner of this hut, and I am the cultivator you are looking for."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other, their hearts filled with surprise and respect.

They knew that this trip to the red maple forest might completely change their destiny.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang hurried forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Senior, we found these clues by accident and came here. Please forgive us if we have disturbed you."

The old man smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's fate that you can come here. I see that you two have pure hearts and extraordinary talents. Perhaps you are the talents that can be cultivated on the road of cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt a warm current in their hearts, and at the same time, they became more determined to cultivate immortals.

The old man continued, "The road to becoming an immortal is long and difficult, and requires firm belief and unremitting efforts. I have some basic cultivation methods and elixirs here, which may be of help to you."

As he spoke, the old man took out a few ancient books and a few small jade bottles from his sleeves and handed them to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

Luo Chen took the ancient book and saw detailed records of cultivation methods, martial arts and alchemy techniques. The jade bottle in Qingshuang's hand exuded a faint medicinal fragrance, which was obviously a precious elixir.

The two were extremely grateful and bowed to the old man again to express their gratitude.

The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You are welcome. If you can achieve something in the path of cultivating immortals, it will be the best reward for me. Remember, cultivating immortals is not only a process of pursuing power, but also a journey of cultivating the mind and character. I hope you can stick to your original intention and not be confused by the world."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang nodded solemnly and kept the old man's words in mind.

Not long after, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also left.

They were also somewhat curious about what they saw this time.

Shouldn't those powerful immortal cultivators be above the mundane world and view all things as ants?
Why is that immortal cultivator so easy to talk to?
It's really strange.

However, the two did not think about it for long.

Now that the opportunity has been obtained, it is natural for the two of them to leave this red maple forest.

"Let's go."

Luo Chen said softly, and Qing Shuang nodded in agreement. They knew that the road to immortal cultivation was long and full of unknowns, and the most important thing now was to seize the opportunity in front of them and make good use of the cultivation methods and elixirs given by the old man.

The two men rode on the blood-red spirit horses and slowly left the red maple forest along the path they came from.

Along the way, they discussed how to start practicing and how to utilize these precious resources.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang both understood that with these foundations, they would have a higher starting point than other cultivators.

It was already dark when they returned to town.

They decided to rest in the town for one night and continue their journey the next day. In a simple inn, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to sort out the ancient books and elixirs given by the old man, preparing to start their immortal cultivation career.

It was late at night. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang sat on the edge of their beds and began to practice according to the instructions in the ancient books.

They know that this will be a long and difficult process, but their hearts are full of hope and expectation.

They believe that as long as they persevere, one day they will also be able to become awe-inspiring cultivators.

As the practice began, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gradually felt subtle changes in their bodies.

They adjusted their breathing according to the breathing methods in ancient books. Every breath seemed to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, nourishing their bodies and souls.

At first, the change was not obvious; they just felt lighter and more focused.

But as their practice deepened, they began to feel a warm force flowing slowly in their bodies, which was the initial gathering of spiritual power in their meridians.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang would sit opposite each other and share their thoughts and experiences in cultivation with each other.

They found that although the method of cultivation was the same, each person's efficiency in absorbing and transforming spiritual energy was different, which might be related to their physique, character, and even past experiences.

In order to improve their cultivation faster, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to try to combine cultivation with actual combat.

They used the martial arts secrets given by the old man to practice in the backyard of the inn, integrating the learned moves into actual combat and constantly honing their fighting skills.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

After becoming generally familiar with the cultivation techniques.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang have also made their first step into the real world of cultivating immortals.

As a cultivator, one wants to constantly improve his cultivation and realm.

Naturally, they wanted to go to the place where immortal cultivators gathered.

"Qingshuang, come and take a look at this map."

Inside the room, Luo Chen took out a map that the old man had given him before. The map marked the places where many immortal cultivators gathered.

Among them, Lingfengshan Market is the nearest one.

Qingshuang looked at the map carefully, excitement gleaming in his eyes.

"Lingfeng Mountain Market sounds like a lively place. We may be able to find more cultivation resources there," she said.

Luo Chen nodded in agreement. "Yes, there should be all kinds of items needed by cultivators in the market, including spiritual herbs, magic tools, talismans, etc. We have to plan carefully to make sure we have enough spiritual stones or other items to exchange for what we need."

The two began to discuss the plan to go to Lingfeng Mountain Market.

They knew that as newcomers to the world of immortal cultivation, they needed to be extra careful, because the market town was not only filled with opportunities, but also with unknown dangers.

"We must first find out the rules of the market town, as well as which places are safe and which places should be avoided." Qingshuang reminded.

Luo Chen nodded in agreement, "Besides, we also need to prepare some self-defense weapons, just in case."

"There are many people in the market, and we can't take it lightly."

After careful preparation, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang decided to set off for Lingfeng Mountain Market early the next morning.

The next morning, as soon as the sky turned pale, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were already ready to go.

They carefully wrapped up the ancient books and elixirs given by the old man and hid them in storage bags close to their bodies to ensure that they would be safe during the journey.

The two men rode on blood-red spirit horses. The sound of horse hooves seemed particularly crisp in the tranquility of the early morning. They galloped towards the direction of Lingfeng Mountain Market.

As we get farther away from the town, the surrounding scenery becomes increasingly desolate.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang had no time to care about these things. Their hearts were filled with yearning for the unknown world and longing for the path of cultivating immortals.

Along the way, they exchanged their cultivation experiences with each other, and occasionally discussed with each other to test each other's progress.

After several days of travel, Lingfeng Mountain finally appeared in their sight.

The mountain peaks are towering into the clouds, and the mountainside is shrouded in mist, like a fairyland.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other and could see a hint of excitement and nervousness in each other's eyes.

They know that the journey ahead will be full of challenges, but also opportunities.

The market town is located halfway up Lingfeng Mountain, with a winding mountain road leading to it.

As we got closer to the market town, more and more people appeared on the road.

Among these pedestrians, some were dressed in gorgeous robes, while others were dressed in simple Taoist robes, but without exception, everyone exuded an extraordinary aura.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, leading the blood-red spirit horses, carefully blended into the crowd.

As planned, they first came to the entrance of the market town, where there was a huge stone tablet engraved with the rules and precautions of the market town.

The two read carefully to make sure they would not violate any taboos out of ignorance.

After entering the market town, they found that it was even more lively than they had imagined.

There are all kinds of stalls on both sides of the street, some selling spiritual herbs and minerals, and some selling various magical instruments and talismans.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang browsed and looked for the items they needed.

"Luo Chen, look at this!" Qingshuang suddenly pointed at a jade slip on a stall and said.

Luo Chen walked forward, picked up the jade slip and examined it carefully.

This is a set of advanced sword techniques called "Spiritual Wind Sword Technique", which will greatly help improve their fighting skills.

After some bargaining, the two finally bought the jade slip at a reasonable price.

Continuing forward, they found another stall selling spiritual beasts.

There was a little fox with snow-white fur on the stall, which looked very cute.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and saw the affection in each other's eyes.

After some inquiries, they learned that this little fox was a rare spiritual beast called the Snow Spirit Fox, which could not only assist in cultivation, but also provide warnings in dangerous moments.

"Senior, we want this Snow Fox." Luo Chen said to the stall owner.

The stall owner was an old man with a kind face. He smiled and nodded, then handed the Snow Fox to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen took the Snow Fox, felt its warm body temperature, and an inexplicable sense of intimacy surged in his heart.

As it grew darker, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gradually collected most of the items they needed.

They found a relatively quiet inn and planned to spend the night there while sorting out today's gains.

When the night was still, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang sat opposite each other again and began to practice. (End of this chapter)
