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

They held torches, illuminating the entire stone chamber, but they did not seem to notice Luo Chen and Qing Shuang hiding in the dark.

"Boss, look, what is that?" One of the men pointed at the crystal ball on the altar, his voice filled with excitement.

The man called the boss walked forward, a greedy look on his face.

"This must be the legendary Eye of the Water God. With it, we can control endless power."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt nervous. They couldn't let these people get the crystal ball.

Luo Chen gently touched Qingshuang's arm, and the two exchanged glances and decided to wait for their opportunity.

"Boss, how do we use it?" asked another subordinate.

"Idiot, do you even need to ask? Of course, take it back and find someone to study it." The boss answered impatiently.

At this moment, Luo Chen and Qingshuang jumped out from their hiding place at the same time. They knew they had to act before these people took the crystal ball away.

"Who are you? Why did you break in here?" Luo Chen asked loudly, trying to distract the other party.

The men in black were startled by this sudden change and turned to face Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

"How dare you two little brats make trouble here!"

The boss roared, and several of his men immediately drew their weapons and rushed towards Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

The battle was about to break out. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang relied on their agility and familiarity with the terrain to deal with the men in black.

Qingshuang brandished her sword, the sword light flashing coldly under the reflection of the torch, while Luo Chen used his spiritual power to release waves of water to block the attack of the man in black.

"Don't let them get close to the crystal ball!" the boss ordered. He personally joined the battle and tried to break through Luo Chen and Qingshuang's defense.

The battle became more intense, and the sound of metal clashing and shouting echoed in the stone chamber.

Although Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were very skilled, they gradually felt overwhelmed when faced with the large number of men in black.

"Qingshuang, we must retreat!" Luo Chen whispered to Qingshuang after a confrontation.

Qingshuang nodded, she knew Luo Chen was right.

They cannot sacrifice here in vain, they must conserve their strength and find better opportunities.

Taking advantage of a break in the confrontation, the two men quickly retreated towards the passage.

The men in black chased them relentlessly, but Luo Chen and Qing Shuang took advantage of the terrain and cleverly got rid of them.

"Don't let them run away!" The boss roared angrily, but his men had lost any trace of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang were running in the passage. They knew they had to leave this secret place as soon as possible.

They passed through winding passages and finally came to a place they had never explored before.

This is a huge underground lake with clear water. There is a small island in the center of the lake with an ancient stone tablet standing on it.

"We have to find a way to cross this lake." Luo Chen said breathlessly.

Qingshuang nodded and looked around, looking for a way to cross the lake.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on a small boat by the lake.

"Look, there's a boat there!" Qingshuang said in surprise.

The two quickly boarded the boat and began rowing towards the small island in the middle of the lake.

The lake water shone silvery under the moonlight, and the boat moved slowly on the calm lake.

After arriving at the island, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang discovered some ancient words engraved on the stone tablet.

Qingshuang examined them carefully and found that these characters were strikingly similar to the runes they saw in the secret treasure.

"What is recorded on this stone tablet seems to be the method of using the Eye of the Water God." Qingshuang said in a low voice.

Luo Chen listened carefully to Qingshuang's interpretation and gradually came up with a plan in his mind.

He knew that they had to master the power of the crystal ball as soon as possible so that they could fight against those greedy men in black.

"Let's learn these words here first and master how to use the crystal ball." Luo Chen said firmly.

Qingshuang nodded. She knew it was a long process, but they had no way out.

They must become stronger in order to protect this secret treasure and protect the wisdom of the water god from being exploited by evil people.

So, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began their practice on the island.

They studied the text on the stone tablet day and night and practiced the techniques of controlling water power.

Time passes quietly in their efforts, and they gradually grow in the process.

Finally one day, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt they were ready.

They knew it was time to return to the secret vault and face those greedy men in black.

They memorized the knowledge on the stone tablet and returned to the entrance of the secret treasure by boat.

When they returned to the stone chamber, they found that the men in black had disappeared, and the crystal ball was still lying quietly on the altar.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew that the real challenge had just begun.

They carefully picked up the crystal ball and, following the instructions on the stone tablet, began trying to communicate with the power in the crystal ball.

The crystal ball emitted a soft blue light again, and the air around it seemed to begin to vibrate.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt an unprecedented power flowing in their bodies, as if the whole world was under their control.

They closed their eyes and felt every nuance of the power, trying to establish a deeper connection with it.

"Luo Chen, can you feel it? This power seems to be responding to us." There was a hint of excitement in Qingshuang's voice.

Luo Chen opened his eyes and nodded.

"Yes, the power in the crystal ball seems to resonate with our spiritual power. We may be able to use it."

Just then, footsteps were heard at the entrance of the stone chamber.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang quickly hid the crystal ball behind them and looked vigilantly towards the source of the sound.

"It seems we are a step late." A familiar voice sounded. It was the man in black who was previously called the boss.

He walked slowly into the stone chamber with a group of new men, staring at Luo Chen and Qing Shuang with sharp eyes.

"How dare you two little brats face us alone."

The boss sneered, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.

"But now you have no chance. Hand over the crystal ball."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang held the crystal balls tightly in their hands. They knew that this was not only a contest of strength, but also a contest of wills.

"We won't let you succeed." Qingshuang responded firmly.

The boss smiled contemptuously and waved his hand. His men immediately dispersed and surrounded Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

The battle broke out again, but this time, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were no longer on the passive defense.

They used the power of the crystal ball to release powerful water waves, forcing the men in black to retreat.

"Boss, they seem to have become stronger!" one of his men shouted in horror.

The boss frowned, obviously surprised by the sudden increase in power of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

He quickly adjusted his strategy and ordered his men to act more cautiously. "Do you think you can defeat us with that crystal ball?" The boss sneered and pulled out a sharp long knife from his waist. "We are well prepared."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood back to back, they knew that this battle would be more difficult than any previous one.

The crystal ball in Luo Chen's hand emitted an even brighter light, as if responding to his determination.

"Qingshuang, we have to be careful." Luo Chen said in a low voice, his eyes firm and calm.

Qingshuang nodded, and the sword in her hand seemed to be full of power under the light of the crystal ball.

"I will protect you, Luo Chen."

The men in black attacked again, this time they were more organized, trying to use their numerical advantage to separate Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

However, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were able to escape danger every time with the power of the crystal ball.

During the battle, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's cooperation became more and more tacit.

Luo Chen used the crystal ball to control the water flow, forming water walls to block the attack of the men in black.

Qingshuang used her swordsmanship to accurately repel every enemy that tried to break through the defense line.

"You two, don't think you can win like this!" the boss roared. He personally joined the battle and tried to break through Luo Chen and Qingshuang's defenses.

Although Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were at a disadvantage, they did not give up.

They know that as long as they persist, there will be a turning point.

"Qingshuang, do you remember the moves we practiced on the island before?" Luo Chen reminded in a low voice during a break in a confrontation.

A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Qingshuang's eyes, and she recalled the days and nights of practice on the island, those techniques related to water power.

She nodded and prepared to perform the move.

Luo Chen took a deep breath and gathered the power of the crystal ball in his hands.

He felt the power in the crystal ball merge perfectly with his own spiritual power to form a powerful stream of water.

"Water Dragon's Roar!" Luo Chen shouted, and the power in the crystal ball exploded instantly. A huge water dragon rose into the air from the water and rushed towards the men in black.

The boss's face changed drastically. He didn't expect Luo Chen and Qing Shuang to be able to perform such powerful moves.

The men in black were scattered by the impact of the water dragon, and the boss was forced to take a few steps back.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Chen and Qingshuang quickly retreated to the exit of the stone chamber.

“Chase them!” the boss roared, his voice echoing in the stone chamber, but there was no turning back for Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

They knew that if they were caught, the consequences would be disastrous.

Qingshuang held Luo Chen's hand tightly, and the two ran quickly in the narrow passage of the stone chamber.

The crystal ball emitted a soft light in Luo Chen's hand, as if guiding them.

Their hearts were beating like drums, and every step they took seemed like a race against death.

"Luo Chen, can we do it?" There was a hint of uncertainty in Qingshuang's voice, but more of it was trust in Luo Chen.

"We can definitely do it." Luo Chen answered firmly, with an unyielding light flashing in his eyes.

They finally rushed out of the stone chamber and came to the cave outside.

The moonlight poured in through the hole, bringing a ray of light to this dark world.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not pause at all. They knew that as long as they escaped from the cave, they would have a chance to shake off the pursuers.

However, just as they were about to reach the cave entrance, a figure suddenly flashed out from the darkness and blocked their way.

It was the boss. He actually arrived here before them.

"Do you think you can escape?" The boss sneered, the long knife in his hand flashing coldly in the moonlight.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stopped, they knew that a life-and-death battle was about to begin.

"Qingshuang, you go first, I will stop him." Luo Chen said in a low voice, his eyes full of determination.

"No, Luo Chen, we have to face it together." Qingshuang responded firmly. She would not let Luo Chen face the danger alone.

The boss looked at them, a cruel smile on his face.

"What a touching friendship, but none of you can leave today."

Before he could finish his words, the boss swung his knife at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen quickly raised the crystal ball, and a stream of water gushed out of the ball, forming a water shield.

The blade collided with the water shield, making a crisp sound.

Qingshuang took the opportunity to go behind the boss. She knew that only by taking him by surprise could she defeat this powerful opponent.

The long sword in her hand stabbed out like a snake, pointing directly at the boss's back.

The boss felt the threat from behind, so he had to give up attacking Luo Chen and turn to deal with Qingshuang.

Luo Chen seized this opportunity, condensed the power of the crystal ball again, and prepared to launch an attack.

"Water Dragon's Roar!" Luo Chen shouted again, and the water dragon rose from the crystal ball again and rushed towards the boss.

This time, the water dragon's power was more concentrated and its speed was faster.

The boss was forced to retreat repeatedly by the impact of the water dragon. He swung the long sword in his hand more frantically, trying to resist this force.

But the water dragon was too powerful, and the boss was eventually forced into a corner of the cave.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not relax at all, they knew that this was their only chance.

The two men attacked at the same time, the water dragon and the sword intertwined in the air, forming a deadly attack.

The boss finally couldn't hold on any longer, his long sword was knocked away by the water dragon, and his whole body was hit against the stone wall by the force of the water dragon.

He fell to the ground and could not get up again.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other, and they knew that the battle was finally over.

They put away the crystal ball, killed all the people in front of them, and then supported each other and walked out of the cave. What greeted them was the free sky and endless future.

Outside the secret treasure under the sea.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at everything in front of them and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"Two young men, what's wrong with you?"

An old man who was planning to use a small boat to go fishing at sea, looked at Luo Chen and Qing Shuang who were injured, and he couldn't help but ask this.

"We're fine, we just had a tough battle." Luo Chen replied with a hint of fatigue in his voice.

"Fight?" The old man frowned. He seemed curious about the experiences of the two young men.

Qing Shuang nodded slightly. She looked around, the sea breeze blowing her long hair. She said softly, "Yes, we just escaped from a dangerous battle."

The old man sighed, put down the fishing gear in his hand, walked to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, and looked at them carefully.

"You all look tired. If you don't mind, you can rest on my boat."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They knew that they really needed some time to recover their strength. (End of this chapter)
