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

After returning to the cave, the black-robed monk immediately began to refine the elixir needed to treat his fellow apprentice.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were guarding silently on the side, their eyes full of admiration and expectation for the black-robed monk.

After a night of hard work, the elixir was finally successfully refined. The black-robed monk held the elixir in his hand, tears flashing in his eyes. He knew that this was not just an elixir, but also the hope of his fellow apprentice's rebirth.

He looked at Luo Chen and Qing Shuang with gratitude and bowed deeply: "Thank you both for your help. I will remember this kindness in my heart."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang smiled at each other. They knew that this meeting and assistance had established a deep friendship between them.

They patted the black-robed monk on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Brother Black, you are too kind. On the road to becoming an immortal, we are each other's helpers. Go and see your brother. I hope he will recover soon."

The black-robed monk nodded and turned to walk deeper into the cave.

Soon, the faint sound of the fellow apprentice waking up and the excited cheers of the black-robed monk were heard from the cave.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang smiled at each other, their hearts filled with relief and satisfaction.

As the junior fellow apprentice gradually recovered, the atmosphere in the cave became more relaxed.

In addition to taking care of his fellow disciples every day, the black-robed monk discusses the way of cultivation with Luo Chen and Qing Shuang. The three of them share their experiences and make progress together.

Their friendship grew deeper as they spent time together day after day, as if they had become an inseparable whole.

About, half a month later.

Only then did Luo Chen and Qing Shuang separate from the two men.

Back to the market town.

"Luo Chen, look over there."

“There were a lot of people gathered there.”

"How about we go over and take a look too?"

Qingshuang pulled Luo Chen's sleeve, curiosity gleaming in her eyes.

Luo Chen smiled slightly and nodded in agreement, and the two walked side by side towards the center of the crowd.

Pushing through the crowd, they discovered that it was an elderly monk who was setting up a stall to sell some old magical instruments and elixirs.

Although these items are inconspicuous, they seem to contain an extraordinary aura, attracting many people to stop and watch.

"These magical instruments may seem ordinary, but each one seems to have its own story."

Luo Chen spoke softly to Qingshuang, his gaze lingering for a moment on a rusty jade pendant. Although the jade pendant was inconspicuous, it faintly revealed a warm spiritual power.

Upon hearing this, Qingshuang also looked carefully at the items around her.

Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by an ancient book with a yellowed cover and worn edges.

There were no written marks on the ancient book, but there were complex rune patterns drawn on the cover, exuding a mysterious aura.

"This book……"

Qingshuang reached out and gently picked up the ancient book. When her fingertips touched the rough paper, she seemed to feel a faint wave coming from the book.

She looked up at Luo Chen, with a questioning gleam in her eyes.

Seeing this, Luo Chen walked to Qingshuang and carefully looked at the ancient book.

He closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he had sensed the extraordinary things hidden in the ancient books.

"This book is extraordinary. Although its origin is unknown, the knowledge and power it contains are extraordinary."

As the two were discussing the ancient book, the elderly monk suddenly spoke up: "You two Taoist friends have good eyes. This ancient book was found by chance during an expedition when I was young."

“Although it has no words, it contains profound cultivation methods and ancient secrets.”

"It's a pity that my qualifications are limited and I can never comprehend the secrets."

"Now, I am selling it, hoping that someone with a destiny will get it and continue to explore the secrets within it."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and saw firm determination in each other's eyes.

They knew that this ancient book might be a great help in their journey to becoming immortals.

So, Luo Chen took out a high-quality spirit stone from his storage bag and handed it to the elderly monk in exchange for the mysterious ancient book.

After leaving the crowd, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang found a quiet place and couldn't wait to open the ancient book.

As the yellowed pages were turned, an ancient and profound atmosphere came to their faces, as if bringing them into a completely different world.

“This is really unusual!”

Luo Chen exclaimed, his eyes fixed on the ancient book. Every symbol and every rune seemed to be telling the secrets of the ancient times.

Qingshuang also had a solemn expression on her face. She lightly ran her fingertips across the pages of the book, feeling the fluctuations from ancient times.

The contents recorded in the ancient books are extremely complex, including obscure cultivation methods and profound insights into the laws of heaven and earth.

Although Luo Chen and Qing Shuang had good cultivation, they still felt a little overwhelmed when faced with such profound knowledge.

However, they were not discouraged, but became more determined to explore the mystery.

As time went by, their understanding of ancient books gradually deepened.

They discovered that this ancient book was not only a manual of cultivation secrets, but also a history book that recorded the glory and decline of the world of immortal cultivation in ancient times.

Many of the cultivation methods and magic weapons mentioned in the book were things they had never heard of or seen before.

Just as the two were immersed in the ocean of ancient books, a sudden vibration broke the tranquility around them.

They looked up and saw that the originally calm sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds and thunder roared.

A powerful pressure surged from all directions, causing the entire market to tremble.

"What's going on?" Qingshuang's face changed slightly, and she felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Luo Chen also frowned. He quickly put away the ancient book, took Qingshuang's hand, and prepared to deal with the upcoming changes.

However, at this moment, a dazzling light suddenly fell from the sky and landed directly in front of them.

After the light faded, a middle-aged monk in gorgeous robes appeared in front of the two.

His face was stern and his eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were startled, knowing that this person was no ordinary person.

"You two youngsters, do you admit your crimes?" the middle-aged monk spoke coldly, with unquestionable majesty in his voice.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, both feeling puzzled.

They did not know this middle-aged monk, and had no idea what crime they had committed.

However, facing such a powerful opponent, they did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

"Why do you say that, senior? Neither of us has done anything against the law of nature." Luo Chen bowed, his tone full of respect and doubt.

The middle-aged monk snorted coldly, raised his hand and waved it, and a ray of light instantly enveloped the two of them. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang only felt a huge force surging into their bodies, making them unable to move at all. "How dare you quibble! The ancient book in your hand is a treasure of our sect that has been lost for a long time. How can you get your hands on it?" The middle-aged monk shouted angrily, his eyes flashing with rage.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang then suddenly realized that the middle-aged monk came for the ancient books.

However, their hearts were filled with resentment and anger.

They exchanged this ancient book for spirit stones, so how did it become someone else's treasure?
"Senior, you are wrong! We bought this ancient book from a cultivator using spirit stones, and we didn't steal it." Qingshuang argued loudly, her voice full of determination and indomitable spirit.

The middle-aged monk's face became even gloomier when he heard this. He raised his hand and waved it, and a powerful force instantly knocked the two people away.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood, their faces as pale as paper.

"Hmph! A mere ant dares to argue with me? Today I will let you know the consequences of offending me!" The middle-aged monk smiled coldly, and pounced towards the two men in a flash.

Faced with this sudden attack, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were filled with despair.

However, at this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of the two.

He held a long sword in his hand and moved across the battlefield like the wind. Every time he swung his sword, it was accompanied by a sharp sword light and powerful sword energy.

"Junior brother! Why are you here?" the black-robed monk shouted in surprise. He was the monk who had fought side by side with Luo Chen and Qing Shuang before.

"Brother! I heard that you were in trouble, so I immediately came to help you."

The black-robed monk responded, his eyes full of determination and resoluteness.

The middle-aged monk's expression changed slightly when he saw this.

He didn't expect that these two juniors actually had helpers, and that the latter was a cultivator with strong cultivation.

However, he did not back down because of this, but it aroused his fighting spirit even more.

“Hmph! Just three juniors dare to be my enemy? Today I will let you know how powerful I am!” The middle-aged cultivator shouted angrily, and his body suddenly grew several times larger and transformed into a huge monster.

The monster opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards the three people.

Seeing this, Luo Chen, Qingshuang and the black-robed monks used their strongest spells and martial arts and engaged in a fierce battle with the monster.

However, the monster was too powerful, and even the three of them working together could not resist it.

Just when the three were in a desperate situation, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in their ears: "Children, don't be afraid, I'm here to help you."

As the voice fell, a soft light descended from the sky and enveloped the three people.

In the light, a woman in plain clothes and with a kind face slowly walked out. She held a long sword that emitted a faint fluorescent light, and her eyes revealed endless tenderness and determination.

"Senior! You are..." Luo Chen looked at the woman in surprise, his heart full of confusion and awe.

The woman smiled slightly and said softly: "I am the guardian of this ancient book and also your guide on the road to immortality. Today I sensed the fluctuations of the ancient book's aura, so I came to help."

As she spoke, the woman flashed and rushed towards the monster.

She gently swung the sword in her hand, and a dazzling sword light cut through the sky and directly slashed on the huge body of the monster.

The monster let out a deafening roar, and its huge body rolled several times in the air before it could barely stabilize itself.

However, its eyes were filled with fear and unwillingness, and it had obviously felt the woman's unfathomable strength.

“You are just a monster, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of me!” The woman shouted coldly, and her body turned into a stream of light again and pounced towards the monster.

Her swordsmanship was exquisite, and each of her swords hit the monster's vital points just right, making it impossible for the monster to fight back.

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and the black-robed monk were watching on the sidelines in amazement. They had never seen such powerful swordsmanship, nor had they ever seen such a calm and relaxed fighting posture.

Their hearts were filled with awe and gratitude, knowing that it was this mysterious woman who saved their lives.

After a fierce battle, the woman finally defeated the monster completely.

She sheathed her sword and turned to look at the three of them, a gentle light gleaming in her eyes.

"The three of you are rising stars in the world of immortal cultivation. You still have a long way to go in the future. I hope you can cherish this opportunity, work hard on your cultivation, and make greater contributions to the world of immortal cultivation." The woman said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen, Qingshuang and the black-robed monk nodded in agreement.

They knew that this woman was not only their savior, but also their mentor and role model on the road to becoming an immortal.

"Senior, we will definitely work hard to practice and live up to your expectations!" Luo Chen said firmly.

Qingshuang and the black-robed monk followed closely behind, expressing their determination and conviction.

The woman smiled slightly, took out a crystal clear jade pendant from her arms and handed it to Luo Chen.

"This jade pendant is what I have gained through years of practice. It contains my sword energy. In times of crisis, you can activate it to protect yourself and your companions."

Luo Chen took the jade pendant, felt the majestic sword energy contained in it, and his heart was filled with gratitude.

He knew what this jade pendant meant to him, and he also understood the responsibilities and mission he shouldered.

"Senior, we will definitely make good use of this jade pendant and live up to your expectations!" Luo Chen said solemnly.

The woman nodded, her eyes revealing satisfaction and relief.

"Okay, I have to go now. Remember my words, practice hard, and contribute your strength to the world of immortal cultivation."

After saying this, the woman stretched out her body and turned into a stream of light that disappeared into the sky.

Luo Chen, Qingshuang and the black-robed monk looked in the direction she left, their hearts filled with respect and gratitude.

They knew that this mysterious woman not only saved their lives, but also planted a seed of cultivating immortals in their hearts.

This seed will take root, sprout, thrive, and eventually bloom with dazzling light on their future path of cultivation.

In the following days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang practiced even harder.

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

In the market town, inside the courtyard.

Luo Chen looked at the map in his hand, and his brows furrowed slightly.

The map was bought from an old man's stall in the market town.

It is said that there is a treasure hidden on the map.

Those who are destined to have it will get it.

But where is this treasure?
Luo Chen was not very clear.

"So, could it be that you were deceived by that old man?"

"Or does that old man not know that this map is fake?"

Qingshuang asked in a low voice.

Luo Chen shook his head and looked at the map in his hand firmly: "No, I believe what the old man said. Since this map can be passed down, it must have its special features. And my intuition tells me that the treasure pointed by this map is closely related to our path of cultivation."

Seeing this, Qingshuang said no more and just nodded silently. (End of this chapter)
