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

Zhao Cheng nodded and continued, "I need you to help me collect some information about the Shadow Sect. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang agreed without hesitation.

So, Luo Chen and Qingshuang began to inquire about the news about the Shadow Sect in Lingxiao City.

They carefully avoided the Zhao man's sphere of influence and collected intelligence through various channels.

After a period of hard work, they finally collected some useful information.

The headquarters of the Shadow Sect is located in a valley outside Lingxiao City, which is shrouded in darkness all year round and is difficult for ordinary people to approach.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang brought the information back to Zhao Cheng.

After hearing this, Zhao Cheng's eyes flashed with determination. "It's time to take action."

He began to contact some like-minded practitioners and prepare for a raid on the Shadow Sect.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also joined the operation. They knew that this would be a battle of life and death.

On a dark and windy night, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Zhao Cheng led a group of practitioners and quietly approached the valley of the Shadow Sect.

At the entrance of the valley, there were several disciples of the Shadow Sect guarding.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other, they knew that the battle was about to begin.

"Are you ready?" Luo Chen asked in a low voice.

Qingshuang nodded, a determined gleam in her eyes.

"We fight together."

The battle was about to break out. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang rushed towards the guards first. Their sword energy and spells intertwined together, knocking down all the guards.

Other practitioners followed closely and rushed into the valley.

Inside the valley, the disciples of the Shadow Sect were caught off guard by the sudden attack.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang shuttled through the crowd. Their swordsmanship and magic became more and more fierce. Enemies fell one after another wherever they passed.

However, at this moment, a roar came from the depths of the valley.

A man in a black robe walked out of the darkness, emitting a strong dark aura.

"How dare you, you ignorant creatures, come to my Shadow Sect and act wildly!" the black-robed man roared.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that the man in black robe was the leader of the Shadow Sect.

They looked at each other, and then attacked the man in black robe at the same time.

The battle was extremely fierce. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang relied on their tacit cooperation to deal with the man in black robe.

However, the strength of the man in black robe was far beyond their imagination, and they gradually fell into a disadvantage.

At this critical moment, Zhao Cheng arrived in time. He cast a powerful spell and fought against the man in black together with Luo Chen and Qingshuang.

After a hard fight, the three men finally knocked down the man in black robe.

When the Shadow Sect's disciples saw their leader defeated, they fled in all directions.

After the battle, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang both felt exhausted, but they knew that victory in this battle meant that Lingxiao City would no longer be threatened by the Shadow Sect.

Zhao Cheng walked up to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang and said gratefully: "Thanks to you this time, Lingxiao City can see the light of day again."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang shook their heads. They knew that this was what they should do.

"Senior Zhao Cheng, we just did what we were supposed to do."

Zhao Cheng smiled, then took out two items from his arms and handed them to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang respectively.

"This is my thank you gift to you. I hope you can go further on your future path of cultivation."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang took the items and found that they were a pair of exquisite jade bracelets engraved with ancient runes and emitting a faint light.

"Thank you, Senior Zhao Cheng." Luo Chen and Qing Shuang expressed their gratitude again.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Cheng, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang continued to wander around the city.

After all, it has only been a short time since we arrived.

Naturally, they would not think about leaving.

Besides, this is a city built by practitioners.

There must be many things in the city that can help them in their practice.

Places like this are rare.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang strolled on the streets of Lingxiao City, feeling the prosperity and vitality of this city.

There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, selling everything from magical herbs and medicines to magical instruments and treasures.

Practitioners either gathered in groups of three or five to discuss their experiences in practice, or meditated silently in a corner alone.

"Qingshuang, look at the shop over there. It seems to be selling some rare spiritual herbs." Luo Chen said, pointing to a shop with quaint decorations not far away.

Qingshuang looked in the direction where Luo Chen's finger was pointing, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

"Yes, let's go and take a look, maybe we can find something helpful for our practice."

The two walked into the shop called "Lingcaoxuan", which was filled with a faint scent of medicine.

The owner was a white-haired old man who was sitting behind the counter, grinding the medicine powder with great concentration.

"Two young friends, what do you need?" The old man raised his head and asked gently.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, and Luo Chen said, "We are interested in some spiritual herbs that can help improve our cultivation. Do you have any?"

The old man smiled slightly, took out a small box from under the counter, and when he opened it, there was a magical herb emitting a faint fluorescent light.

"This is 'Moonlight Grass'. It grows under the moonlight and absorbs the essence of the moon. It has a miraculous effect on improving cultivation."

Qing Shuang curiously came closer to watch and asked, "How do I use this Moonlight Grass?"

"You can take it directly, or use it to make pills." The old man explained, "However, Moonlight Grass is very rare and very expensive."

Luo Chen nodded to show his understanding.

He took out some spirit stones from his arms and handed them to the old man.

"We want this Moonflower Grass."

The old man took the spirit stone and nodded with satisfaction.

"My two young friends, I hope this Moonlight Grass can help you."

After leaving Lingcaoxuan, Luo Chen and Qingshuang continued to wander around the city.

They came to a square where many practitioners gathered, apparently watching a martial arts competition.

"Let's go and take a look too." Qingshuang suggested.

Luo Chen readily agreed, and the two squeezed into the crowd.

In the center of the square, two young practitioners were competing with each other. Every move they made was full of power and beauty.

"These two are young talents in Lingxiao City with considerable strength." A middle-aged man next to them said to Luo Chen and Qingshuang.

Qing Shuang was watching the competition with great interest. Suddenly, she frowned and whispered to Luo Chen, "Look at that young man in blue. There seems to be something wrong with his moves."

Luo Chen took a closer look and found that the young man in blue was a little stiff in his movements when performing his moves, as if he was unable to do it.

"Maybe he was injured." Luo Chen guessed.

At this moment, the young man in blue was hit by his opponent in a fight and stumbled back a few steps. His opponent was a young man in red, who immediately stopped and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

The young man in blue shook his head and managed to keep his balance.

"I'm fine, go on."

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

Qingshuang said softly to Luo Chen: "Let's go and help him."

Luo Chen nodded, and the two of them walked towards the young man in blue.

Qingshuang asked politely, "Excuse me, are you injured? We know a little bit about medicine and may be able to help."

The young man in blue looked up at them, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he finally nodded.

"Thank you for your kindness. I did suffer some internal injuries."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang took the young man in blue aside, and Qingshuang took out a pill from his arms.

"This is the 'Rejuvenation Pill', which is very effective for internal injuries."

The young man in blue took the pill and said gratefully, "Thank you. My name is Lan Feng, and I am a descendant of the Lan family in Lingxiao City."

"My name is Luo Chen, and she is Qingshuang." Luo Chen introduced himself.

"Luo Chen, Qing Shuang?" A hint of surprise flashed in Lan Feng's eyes. "Are you the two who have been practicing in Tianji Pavilion recently?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "It's us."

After Lan Feng took the rejuvenation pill, his complexion gradually improved.

"Your medical skills are really excellent. I feel much better now."

Qing Shuang smiled and replied: "This is just what we can do."

The three of them had a pleasant conversation. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang learned that Lan Feng was injured because of a family competition.

Lan Feng also invited them to visit the Lan family when they are free.

Just then, there was a sudden noise in the square.

The three looked up and saw a man in fancy clothes striding towards them, followed by a group of followers.

"Who is that?" Luo Chen asked curiously.

Lan Feng's face changed, and he answered in a low voice: "That is the son of the Lord of Lingxiao City, named Zhao Tianyu. He is a domineering person and often bullies the practitioners in the city."

Zhao Tianyu walked to the center of the arena, looked around, and his eyes finally fell on Luo Chen and Qingshuang.

"I heard that you two have been practicing in Tianji Pavilion recently, and you helped Lan Feng?"

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, and Luo Chen replied calmly: "We just did what we should do."

Zhao Tianyu sneered, "That's the right thing to do, but I heard that you also participated in the operation against the Shadow Sect. You are really brave."

Qing Shuang frowned, "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean?"

Zhao Tianyu waved his hand. "Nothing. I just think that you two outsiders dared to interfere in the affairs of Lingxiao City. It's a bit presumptuous."

There was a hint of displeasure in Luo Chen's eyes, but he still remained polite.

"Mr. Zhao, we are just doing this out of justice."

Zhao Tianyu laughed loudly, "Justice? In Lingxiao City, strength is justice. If you are really capable, why not come and compete with me."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew in their hearts that Zhao Tianyu was obviously provoking them.

But if you don't accept the challenge, you might be looked down upon.

Qingshuang gently pulled Luo Chen's sleeve, signaling him not to be impulsive.

Luo Chen took a deep breath and was about to speak when he heard a familiar voice.

"Zhao Tianyu, are you bullying the outsiders?" Zhao Cheng's voice came from the crowd.

Zhao Tianyu turned around and saw Zhao Cheng, his expression changed slightly.

"Senior Zhao Cheng, I'm just sparring with them."

Zhao Cheng walked up to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang and said calmly, "They are guests of my Tianji Pavilion. If you want to compete with me, why not try it with me?"

Zhao Tianyu's face darkened. Although he was arrogant, he did not dare to be rude to Zhao Cheng.

"Senior Zhao Cheng, how dare I offend you? Let's end today's matter here."

After saying that, Zhao Tianyu hurriedly left the square with his entourage.

Zhao Cheng turned around and said to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang: "You have done a good job, you don't have to pay attention to Zhao Tianyu's provocation."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang thanked Zhao Cheng gratefully.

Zhao Cheng smiled slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes, "Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, your cultivation and character are worthy of praise."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were somewhat surprised by Zhao Cheng's praise, but a warm feeling surged in their hearts.

Qing Shuang said softly: "Thank you for the compliment, Senior Zhao. We are just doing our best."

Zhao Cheng nodded, then turned his gaze to Lan Feng, "Lan Feng, you were injured in this competition. You must rest well when you return. Don't rush for success."

Lan Feng responded respectfully: "Yes, Senior Zhao, I will pay attention to it."

Zhao Cheng turned to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang again, "You two, if you have free time, why not come to Tianji Pavilion? I have some experiences I want to share with you."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were naturally overjoyed and immediately agreed.

Afterwards, Zhao Cheng left the square, leaving Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Lan Feng behind.

Lan Feng looked at Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gratefully, "Thanks to you today, I was able to receive treatment in time."

Qing Shuang waved her hand, "You're welcome, we just did what we should do."

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then said to Lan Feng, "Brother Lan Feng, there are indeed some problems with your moves in the duel just now. If it's convenient, we can help you analyze it."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lan Feng's eyes, "Really? That's great, I was worried that I had no one to guide me."

So the three of them found a quiet teahouse and sat down to discuss Lan Feng's martial arts in detail.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, relying on their own experience and knowledge, pointed out several key points for improvement for Lan Feng.

Lan Feng listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and showed admiration in his eyes, "Your insights are really unique, why didn't I think of it before?"

Qing Shuang smiled and replied: "Everyone has their own blind spots. Sometimes it takes a bystander to see things more clearly."

Luo Chen added: "Brother Lan Feng, you just need to practice according to what we said. I believe that your martial arts will be improved in the near future."

The three of them had a great conversation and before they knew it, the sky had gradually darkened.

Lan Feng stood up and said sincerely, "Thank you so much today. I have to go back now. I will definitely visit you another day."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also stood up to say goodbye. The three of them exchanged contact information and agreed to discuss and communicate with each other again in the future.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were on their way back to Tianji Pavilion when Qing Shuang suddenly asked, "Luo Chen, why do you think Zhao Tianyu suddenly appeared?"

Luo Chen hesitated for a moment and replied, "Zhao Tianyu is obviously a provocative person. He may have noticed us a long time ago, but he only found the opportunity today."

Qingshuang nodded, "It seems we have to be careful. The water in Lingxiao City seems to be deeper than we thought."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "With Senior Zhao Cheng here, we don't have to worry too much, and we are here to practice, not to fight."

Qingshuang also smiled, "You are right, let's focus on improving ourselves." (End of this chapter)
