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

The black-robed monk smiled slightly and said nothing more.

With a flick of his sleeve, he disappeared into the cave, as if they had never existed.

When they reappeared, they had reached the entrance of the cave.

The sun outside is still shining brightly, as if nothing has changed.

But Luo Chen and Qing Shuang both knew that their state of mind and strength had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Soon after.

They returned to the market town.

The black-robed monk also left silently.

After all, everything was over, and there was no point for the black-robed monk to stay any longer.

As for Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, they were walking silently on the streets of the market.

The market town is still prosperous.

The sounds of hawking continued to penetrate into the ears of the two people.

"As expected, the market is safer and allows people to calm down."

Luo Chen took a deep breath of the air in the market town, feeling the long-lost tranquility and security.

He turned to look at Qingshuang and found that she was also enjoying the tranquility with a relaxed smile on her face.

"Yes, the market always brings people a sense of security." Luo Chen said softly, "However, this experience also makes us understand a lot."

Qingshuang nodded, and her eyes became profound.

"Indeed, we have witnessed the wickedness of human nature and realized the importance of strength."

The two continued to stroll along the streets of the market town, surrounded by bustling crowds and a wide variety of goods.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stopped from time to time to browse the items on the stalls, and occasionally exchanged some opinions and views.

Gradually, time came to evening.

The two returned to the small courtyard they rented in the market town.

Just like this, we sat under the stone pavilion.

Drinking tea, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

A gentle breeze blows towards you.

This feeling is quite comfortable.

"The harvest this time is enough for both of us to practice in seclusion for at least a month."

"As for a month later, let's talk about it a month later."

Luo Chen took a sip of tea and looked into the distance, as if he had foreseen his future path of cultivation.

He nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the harvest this time is indeed not small. Those spiritual herbs and elixirs are precious resources that are difficult for us to find outside. A month of closed-door training will be a huge improvement for us."

Qingshuang also nodded slightly, a satisfied smile on her face.

"Moreover, we have also witnessed a battle between truly powerful warriors. This is a rare opportunity to hone our mental state and cultivation. Although the road ahead is full of unknowns and challenges, I believe that as long as we work together, nothing can stop us from moving forward."

The two smiled at each other, and the tacit understanding and trust flowed between them.

They know that no matter what difficulties and challenges they face, as long as they fight side by side, nothing is impossible.

As night fell, the market gradually became quiet.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang set up a protective formation in the courtyard to ensure that they would not be disturbed by the outside world.

Then, they each returned to their rooms and began to practice in seclusion.

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

During this month, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang both made significant progress.

Luo Chen's cultivation level has improved further, while Qingshuang has gained a deeper understanding of the way of the sword, and his swordsmanship has become more fierce and powerful.

When they woke up from their retreat, they all felt an unprecedented powerful force surging in their bodies.

They knew that this was the result of their hard work and practice, and also the improvement of their strength.

"How do you feel?" Luo Chen walked out of the room and saw Qingshuang had woken up, so he asked with a smile.

Qing Shuang smiled slightly and replied, "Very good, I feel that my cultivation and swordsmanship have greatly improved, how about you?"

Luo Chen nodded and said, "Me too. This retreat is a rare opportunity for us."

After chatting for a while, the two walked out of the room silently.

After a month of seclusion, all resources are now exhausted.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang naturally had to think about finding some training resources that could be used next.

Otherwise, you can simply rely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to improve your realm.

I don’t know how long this will take.

"Why don't we go check out the mission board in the market to see if there are any new missions?"

Luo Chen suggested, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

He knew very well that by completing the mission, he could not only obtain generous rewards, but also hone his skills and abilities in actual combat.

Qing Shuang nodded in agreement after hearing this: "Good idea. We do need some new resources to support our subsequent practice. There are usually various types of tasks on the task board. We can also take this opportunity to learn more about the outside world and its dynamics."

So, the two of them walked out of the courtyard side by side and headed towards the task board in the center of the city.

Along the way, they greeted familiar monks from time to time and asked about the latest market trends.

From their conversation, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang learned that there were indeed some new tasks released in the market recently, and the difficulty and rewards were quite good.

Arriving at the mission board, the two carefully browsed the mission information on it.

The task board was densely covered with various task notes, some seeking precious medicinal materials, some seeking rare minerals, and some requesting protection for a caravan to pass safely through a dangerous area.

Luo Chen's attention was attracted by a special task.

This task requires finding a rare spiritual fruit called "Netherworld Spiritual Fruit". It is said that this spiritual fruit only grows in extremely yin places and has the magical effect of strengthening the soul and improving cultivation.

The rewards for the mission were extremely generous. Not only were there a large number of spirit stones and elixirs, but there was also a precious magic weapon as an extra reward.

Qing Shuang also noticed this task. She said softly, "This task looks good. The Netherworld Spirit Fruit is a rare treasure. If we can find it, it will be of great benefit to our practice."

Luo Chen nodded and said, "However, this mission doesn't look easy. Extremely dark places are usually full of dangers. Not only are there powerful monsters, but there may also be unknown crises hidden. We need to prepare well."

After discussing for a while, the two decided to take on this task.

They knew that although this mission was full of unknowns and dangers, it was also a rare opportunity.

As long as they are careful and well prepared, they will be able to complete the task successfully.

In the next few days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang became busy. They first bought some necessary elixirs and talismans as backup, and then collected some intelligence and information about the extremely dark land.

During this process, they also met a guide who was familiar with the terrain and the distribution of monsters. The guide expressed his willingness to lead them to the extremely dark place at a reasonable price.

After everything was ready, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang set out on a journey to the extremely dark place with a guide.

They knew that this road was full of unknowns and dangers, but they also firmly believed that as long as they worked together and moved forward courageously, they would be able to find the Netherworld Fruit and successfully return to the market.

As the group went deeper into the mountains, the surrounding environment gradually became cold and damp, and the air was filled with a heart-pounding chill.

The trees were tall and dense, with not a single ray of sunlight getting through the branches and leaves, making the entire forest appear unusually dark.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang held their weapons tightly and looked around vigilantly.

They knew that this was already the edge of an extremely dark place and they could be in danger at any time.

The guide was an experienced old hunter. He held a sharp hunting knife and walked at the front of the team. He stopped from time to time to sniff the air and judge the situation ahead.

"Everyone, be careful. We are close to the activity area of ​​monsters here." The guide warned in a low voice.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang nodded and looked around more vigilantly.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the woods not far away, and then a huge monster rushed out from the bushes.

It was a monster covered in black scales, its eyes flashing with a faint green light, saliva dripping from its mouth, and it looked extremely ferocious.

"It's a Nether Wolf!" The guide's face changed and he quickly drew out his hunting knife, ready to fight.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also went forward without hesitation. They knew that although this monster was ferocious, it was not impossible to deal with.

The battle broke out quickly, and the Nether Wolf relied on its powerful strength and speed to continuously launch fierce attacks on the three people.

However, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gradually stabilized their position with their tacit cooperation and superb martial arts.

Sometimes they joined forces to resist the Nether Wolf's pounce, and sometimes they took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, constantly consuming the monster's physical strength.

Finally, in a fierce confrontation, Luo Chen seized the opportunity, pierced the throat of the Nether Wolf with a sword, and ended the battle.

After the battle, the three took a short rest and continued to move towards the depths of the extremely dark land.

As they went deeper, the surrounding environment became increasingly harsh.

The air was filled with thick yin energy and poisonous fog, which greatly restricted their vision.

However, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not give up. They moved forward step by step with their firm will and extraordinary strength.

In the process, they encountered various dangers and challenges, but they were able to overcome them every time with their wisdom and courage.

Finally, after several days of arduous journey, they arrived at a gloomy and terrifying valley.

The valley was shrouded in thick yin energy and poisonous fog, as if it were a huge death trap.

However, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that the Netherworld Spirit Fruit was most likely growing in some corner of this valley.

They carefully made their way through the poisonous fog and climbed up the steep walls of the valley.

After a difficult search, they finally found the Netherworld Fruit in a hidden cave.

It was a fruit that emitted a faint glow, its surface covered with dense scales, and it exuded an alluring aroma.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang smiled at each other, they knew that they had finally found this precious treasure.

However, just as they were about to pick the Netherworld Spirit Fruit, a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged in their hearts.

They turned around suddenly and saw a monster with a larger body and more terrifying aura standing at the entrance of the cave, staring at them with murderous eyes.

It was a Nether Leopard, whose strength far exceeded that of an ordinary Nether Wolf.

Facing this powerful monster, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that they had to give it their all to have a chance of survival.

So they quickly adjusted their status and prepared for this life-and-death battle.

The battle broke out again, and the Nether Leopard, with its amazing speed and strength, continuously launched fierce attacks on the two.

However, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not show any weakness. Relying on their tacit cooperation and superb martial arts, they engaged in a fierce battle with the Nether Leopard.

During this process, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang showed amazing tacit understanding and teamwork ability.

They used their respective advantages and cooperated with each other to form an indestructible line of defense.

Luo Chen is good at swordsmanship. His swordsmanship is sharp and precise, and each of his swords is aimed directly at the vital points of the Nether Leopard.

He kept looking for the Nether Leopard's weakness, trying to kill it with one blow.

Qingshuang is good at using a long whip. Her whip techniques are flexible and varied, and she can find opportunities to counterattack in the gaps between the Nether Leopard's attacks.

The two of them, one attacking and one defending, cooperated perfectly.

Although the Nether Leopard is powerful, it gradually seems to be unable to cope with their joint efforts.

However, the Nether Leopard is, after all, a dominant monster in the extremely dark land. How could it admit defeat so easily?
Suddenly, it roared towards the sky, and all the hair on its body stood up instantly, and a powerful momentum burst out from its body.

"Be careful, it's about to use its ultimate move!" the guide warned.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang nodded solemnly.

They knew that the next attack would be a full-strength attack from the Nether Leopard, and they would have to use all their strength to resist it.

Sure enough, the Nether Leopard suddenly leaped up and turned into a black lightning and pounced towards the two of them.

Its speed was beyond their imagination. However, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were not panicked at all.

They responded almost at the same time.

Luo Chen swung his sword, and the sword energy was like a rainbow, going straight to the throat of the Nether Leopard.

Qingshuang took the opportunity to swing out the whip and tightly wrap it around the waist of the Nether Leopard.

With a loud "bang", the sharp claws of the Nether Leopard collided with Luo Chen's sword, bursting out dazzling sparks.

However, at this critical moment, Qingshuang's whip came in handy.

She pulled hard, causing the Nether Leopard to stagger, instantly breaking its attack rhythm.

Seeing this, Luo Chen seized the opportunity without hesitation and stabbed the Nether Leopard's heart with a sword.

As a stream of black blood gushed out, the Nether Leopard's body fell weakly to the ground, completely losing its life.

After the battle, all three of them gasped for breath.

They knew that although this battle was difficult, their coordination and strength had been greatly improved.

"We succeeded!" Qingshuang shouted excitedly.

Luo Chen also showed a relieved smile.

He looked at the Netherworld Spirit Fruit that was emitting a faint glow, and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"Yes, we succeeded." He nodded, then walked forward and carefully picked the Netherworld Fruit. (End of this chapter)
