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

After hearing this, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang became more alert.

They knew that this trip to the ruins would not be easy.

After eavesdropping in the warehouse for a while, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang decided to leave.

They have gathered enough information and now need to make some plans.

After returning to the inn, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to discuss their plans.

"It seems that the ruins do exist, and there are indeed treasures inside, but we can't trust Li Daniu easily. We need to make our own plan." Luo Chen said.

Qingshuang nodded, she knew Luo Chen was right.

They need to tread carefully and not let greed blind them.

"We can first explore the outskirts of the ruins to see what the situation is. If there is really danger, we can decide whether to enter." Qingshuang suggested.

Luo Chen agreed to Qingshuang's proposal, and they decided to set off early the next morning.

The next day, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang packed their luggage and left the inn.

They followed the secret passage that Li Daniu had mentioned and found the entrance to the ruins.

The entrance to the ruins is shrouded in thick fog, appearing mysterious.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other, then stepped into the thick fog together.

They felt dizzy in the thick fog, but soon adapted to it.

The sight before them surprised them. This was a huge underground cave with a huge stone door in the center, which was engraved with ancient runes.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang approached the stone gate cautiously, trying to decipher the runes on it.

Just then, they heard footsteps behind them.

The two of them turned around quickly and saw Li Daniu and several cultivators appear behind them.

"My two fellow Taoists, it seems we meet again." Li Daniu said with a smile.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at them warily; they knew that this encounter might mean a battle.

"Li Daniu, what do you mean?" Luo Chen asked coldly.

Li Daniu shrugged and said, "Nothing, I just want to invite you two Taoist friends to join our team. After all, one more person means more strength."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew that now was not the time for a conflict.

They need to understand Li Daniu's true intentions first.

"We can consider joining you, but we need to know your plans," Qingshuang said.

Li Daniu nodded and began to explain their plan.

It turned out that they planned to crack the runes on the stone door together and then enter the ruins.

After listening to Li Daniu's plan, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to weigh the pros and cons in their minds.

They knew that if they could cooperate with Li Daniu and others, it might be easier to enter the ruins, but it would also mean sharing the risks.

"We can join you, but the condition is that we divide the treasures in the ruins equally." Luo Chen put forward the condition.

Li Daniu thought about it, then nodded and agreed to Luo Chen's conditions.

So, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Li Daniu started to decipher the runes on the stone gate together.

After some effort, they finally succeeded in opening the stone door.

Behind the stone gate is a huge underground palace.

The palace is full of traps and mechanisms, but also full of various treasures.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang followed Li Daniu and the others carefully. They knew that this trip to the ruins would be a real test.

"walk into."

Li Daniu's voice echoed in the empty cave with an unquestionable firmness.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang followed closely behind, taking every step carefully, for fear of triggering some fatal mechanism.

Their eyes searched the dim light, trying to discern the danger lurking in the shadows.

"You two, follow closely." Li Daniu turned around and reminded, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

Qingshuang gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, while Luo Chen looked around from time to time, trying to sense potential threats with his spiritual sense.

They all knew that once entering this unknown underground palace, any negligence could lead to disastrous consequences.

"Look over there." Qingshuang suddenly said in a low voice, pointing to a stone pillar in front that was flickering with light.

Li Daniu and his men stopped and focused their eyes on the stone pillar.

The stone pillar was engraved with intricate patterns, and in the center was a gem that emitted a faint glow.

"This should be a trigger mechanism." Luo Chen analyzed in a deep voice, "We must be careful not to touch it casually."

"Well, I agree with Luo Chen's opinion." Qingshuang nodded in agreement.

Li Daniu frowned, obviously displeased with this unexpected discovery.

He turned around and whispered a few words to a cultivator beside him, and the man carefully walked around the stone pillar and continued to explore forward.

They continued to move forward, and there seemed to be some mysterious power calling them from the depths of the palace.

With every step they took, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang could feel an ancient and powerful aura permeating the air.

"It seems that this place was once the site of a powerful immortal cultivation sect." Qingshuang said in a low voice, with a hint of awe in her voice.

Luo Chen nodded, his eyes fell on a huge stone platform in front of him, on which were placed some scrolls and magical instruments that looked very ancient.

"We have to be careful. These may be treasures left behind by the sect, but they may also be deadly traps." Luo Chen reminded.

Li Daniu seemed to be very interested in these treasures. He walked quickly to the stone platform and reached out to take the scrolls.

"Wait!" Luo Chen suddenly shouted.

Li Daniu's hand stopped in mid-air. He turned to look at Luo Chen with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Li Daniu asked.

"These treasures may have restrictions. Touching them rashly may lead to unpredictable consequences." Luo Chen explained.

Li Daniu hesitated for a moment, but finally withdrew his hand.

He turned to Luo Chen, his tone showing a hint of grudging respect: "Then in your opinion, what should we do?"

Luo Chen walked forward and carefully observed the scrolls and magical instruments.

He closed his eyes and used his spiritual sense to carefully explore, trying to find any potential restrictions.

"We need to find a way to lift the ban, otherwise these treasures will be poison to us." Luo Chen said slowly.

Qingshuang stood aside. She knew that Luo Chen's spiritual awareness was stronger than hers, and she could only rely on his judgment.

She looked around, trying to find where the clue to lifting the ban might be hidden.

"Look over there!" Qingshuang suddenly pointed to a stone wall next to the stone platform and said. There were some vague words engraved on the stone wall, which seemed to be telling something.

Luo Chen and Li Daniu both came over and tried to decipher the words.

"These words seem to be some kind of ancient code. We need to find the corresponding solution." Luo Chen said.

Li Daniu frowned, obviously not good at interpreting this kind of text.

He turned to look at his men, and one of the cultivators stepped forward and began to study the text carefully.

Time passed minute by minute, and the palace was so quiet that the only sound was their own breathing.

Finally, the immortal cultivator raised his head with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"I found it!" he said excitedly. "These words describe a ritual to lift the ban."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew that this might be the biggest breakthrough since they entered the ruins.

"Then let's get started." Li Daniu ordered, his voice full of urgency.

Although Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were uneasy about Li Daniu's eagerness, they also knew that this was their only chance.

They began to act according to the ritual that the cultivator had said, carefully placing the scrolls and magical instruments and activating them in a specific order.

As the last magic weapon was activated, the entire stone platform suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

After the light gradually dissipated, they were surprised to find that the treasure that was originally full of restrictions was now harmless.

"Success!" Li Daniu shouted excitedly. He couldn't wait to grab a scroll and began to look at it carefully.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also each picked out some magical weapons and scrolls that looked useful.

They knew that this discovery could change their destiny.

However, just as they were immersed in the joy of success, a low roar suddenly came from deep in the palace.

The ground began to shake, as if something huge was waking up.

"What's going on?" Qingshuang asked nervously.

"Oh no, maybe some mechanism was triggered." Luo Chen's face changed.

Li Daniu and his men also seemed a little panicked. They knew that if they could not find out the cause in time, they might be trapped in this dangerous palace.

"We have to leave here quickly." Luo Chen said decisively.

They quickly packed up their treasures and prepared to evacuate.

However, the moment they turned around, a huge figure appeared in the depths of the palace.

It was a giant made of stone, its eyes glowing red, and holding a huge stone club in its hand.

It let out a roar that shook the entire palace.

"What kind of monster is this?" Qingshuang asked in horror.

"No matter what it is, we have to fight!" Luo Chen drew his sword and prepared to fight.

Li Daniu and his men also took out their weapons, ready to fight this suddenly appearing enemy.

They knew that only by defeating this giant would they have a chance to leave the underground palace alive.

The battle was about to break out. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang fought side by side with Li Daniu and others and launched a fierce battle with the stone giant.

Sword lights and spells intertwined, and the palace was filled with the noise of battle.

However, the stone giant seemed to have infinite power, and their attacks did not seem to cause much damage to it.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to feel overwhelmed. They knew that if they could not find the giant's weakness, they would not be able to defeat it.

"We must find its weakness!" Luo Chen shouted loudly, trying to make everyone hear.

Li Daniu nodded and began to carefully observe every move of the stone giant, trying to find its flaws.

Just as they were trying to find an opportunity, Qingshuang suddenly discovered that there was a glowing gem on the stone giant's chest.

That, she realized, might be the key to controlling the giant.

"Look at its chest!" Qingshuang shouted.

Luo Chen and Li Daniu both noticed Qingshuang's discovery, and they knew that this was their only chance.

They gathered all their strength and attacked the stone giant's chest.

The sword light and magic spells gathered together, forming a powerful force that hit the stone giant's chest directly.

With a loud bang, the gem was shattered, the stone giant let out a painful roar, and then gradually collapsed and turned into a pile of rubble.

The battle finally ended and peace returned to the palace.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang both breathed a sigh of relief, they knew that this victory was hard-won.

"We have to leave here quickly." Luo Chen reminded again.

They quickly packed up their spoils and began looking for a way to leave.

After some effort, they finally found a passage leading to the ground.

When they walked out of the passage and saw the sunlight again, everyone felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

They knew that on this trip to the ruins, they not only obtained treasures, but more importantly, they survived.

"We succeeded." Qingshuang said with a smile.

Luo Chen nodded, his eyes fell on a scroll in his hand.

Luo Chen's eyes fell on a scroll in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

Qingshuang noticed Luo Chen's strangeness, so she asked softly, "Luo Chen, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with this scroll?"

Luo Chen shook his head slowly, then nodded and said, "The content recorded on this scroll seems to be different from what we have seen before. The words on it seem familiar to me, as if I have seen them somewhere."

Li Daniu heard their conversation and came over to ask curiously, "Have you seen this kind of text? Do you know what it means?"

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "If I remember correctly, this text is related to an ancient secret technique that my master once mentioned. This secret technique is said to be able to control the elemental power between heaven and earth. It is very powerful, but also extremely dangerous."

After hearing this, Qing Shuang showed a trace of worry on her face: "Then if we hold this scroll now, will there be any risks?"

Luo Chen shook his head: "It's not clear yet, but we'd better be careful and not try any spells recorded above easily until we fully understand it."

After hearing this, Li Daniu said impatiently: "What should we do now? Are we just going to leave with this scroll?"

Luo Chen thought for a moment, then said, "Let's leave here first and find a safe place to study this scroll carefully. If it is really as I guessed, then it may be of great help to our future practice."

Qingshuang nodded, indicating that she agreed with Luo Chen's suggestion.

So, they began to look for a way to leave the underground palace.

After some exploration, they found a secret passage, at the end of which was a dense forest.

In the forest, they found a secluded cave and decided to set up camp there temporarily to study the contents of the scroll.

Luo Chen carefully spread out the scroll, and then studied it carefully with Qing Shuang. (End of this chapter)
