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

Luo Chen smiled and replied: "Perhaps, we will live a carefree life like these children, but at the same time, we will not have the power to protect them."

Qing Shuang nodded, a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes: "Yes, every kind of life has its price and responsibility. We have chosen the path of cultivation, and we must take on the mission of protecting the world."

At this moment, a child ran over and handed Luo Chen and Qing Shuang a bunch of wild flowers: "Thank you, big brother, big sister, you have made our village safe."

Luo Chen took the flowers, smiled and touched the child's head: "You're welcome, this is what we should do."

Qingshuang looked at the child running away, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart: "Luochen, although we still have a lot of things to do, at this moment, I feel very happy."

Luo Chen turned his head and looked at Qing Shuang, his eyes full of tenderness: "Yes, Qing Shuang, as long as we are together, no matter what difficulties we face, we can overcome them."

As night fell, the village gradually became quiet.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang sat by the campfire and continued to discuss future plans.

They knew that although the threat of the Shadow Cult had been lifted, new challenges and adventures still awaited them.

"Tomorrow, we will continue to explore the surrounding areas to ensure that no dangers are missed," Luo Chen said.

Qing Shuang nodded in agreement: "At the same time, we must also strengthen our ties with nearby towns and build an intelligence network so that we can get news faster."

Luo Chen looked at Qing Shuang with a smile: "You are always so far-sighted."

Qing Shuang smiled gently: "That's because you are by my side, Luo Chen. Together, we can face any challenge."

They continued talking late into the night.

The light from the campfire danced on their faces, casting a firm and warm glow.

They know that the road ahead is still long, but they also believe that as long as they work together, nothing is impossible.

In the tranquility of the village, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang found a brief peace.

But deep in their hearts, they always remember their mission.

They know that as long as there is evil in the world, they must stand up and protect those in need.

As the night deepened, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gradually fell asleep.

Their dreams are full of hope and light, indicating that their future journey will be full of infinite possibilities.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the village, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were ready for a new journey.

They bid farewell to the villagers and embarked on a new journey with their vision and determination for the future.

Their steps are firm and powerful, and their hearts are filled with a persistent pursuit of justice.

No matter how difficult the road ahead is, they will move forward courageously, because they know that this is their destiny as practitioners and also their most sincere wish deep in their hearts.

After leaving.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang walked on the road on their own.

Although, there are many small paths in many places.

But after all, it is still this main road, it will be easier to travel on and the road conditions will be much better.

"Where to go next?"

Qingshuang suddenly raised her head and asked Luo Chen beside her in a low voice.

Suddenly, just left like that.

She really felt a little empty in her heart.

There are some things that I am not quite used to.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Let's find a market. We can buy some necessities and get some information. After all, we don't know this area well enough."

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that Luo Chen’s proposals were always well thought out.

She looked around and saw the morning mist. The mountains in the distance gradually became clearer under the reflection of the rising sun.

She whispered, "The scenery here is so beautiful, as if every place is full of life."

Luo Chen smiled and responded: "Yes, nature is always so generous and gives us endless beauty, but we can't be confused by this beauty and forget our mission."

The two continued to move forward and set out on the journey to the market town.

Along the way, they passed lush forests, crystal clear streams, and small villages dotted in the fields.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stopped from time to time to help the villagers solve some small problems, or communicate with them to understand the local situation.

By a stream, they met an old fisherman.

The old fisherman was sitting on the shore, mending his fishing nets.

Luo Chen walked up to him and greeted him politely: "Old man, are you repairing the fishing nets?"

The old fisherman raised his head and smiled kindly: "Yes, young man, this fishing net is my livelihood, you must take good care of it."

Qing Shuang asked curiously: "Do you catch fish every day?"

The old fisherman nodded. "Most of the time, yes. But lately it's been a little strange. The fish seem to have hidden away. I can't catch many."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other, and a trace of vigilance arose in their hearts.

Luo Chen asked softly: "Old man, have you noticed anything unusual? For example, the appearance of strangers, or strange noises?"

The old fisherman thought for a moment, then slowly said: "Speaking of which, I did hear some strange noises two nights ago, like the sound of metal colliding, but I'm not sure."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged glances, they knew that this might not be a coincidence.

Luo Chen said to the old fisherman: "Thank you, old man, we will pay attention to this matter."

After saying goodbye to the old fisherman, Luo Chen and Qingshuang continued on their journey.

They became more alert and carefully observed their surroundings.

As they went deeper into the forest, the trees grew denser and the light grew dimmer.

"Qingshuang, be careful, there may be an ambush here." Luo Chen reminded in a low voice.

Qingshuang nodded. She had already drawn the long sword at her waist, and the sword was flashing coldly in the dim light.

They carefully walked through a bush, and suddenly, a sound of metal collision broke the silence of the forest.

The two quickly ran towards the source of the sound.

Passing through a dense forest, they saw a strange sight.

A group of people dressed in black were digging a huge pit, around which were scattered some ancient stone tablets and statues.

"Who are these people? What are they doing?" Qingshuang asked in a low voice.

Luo Chen observed carefully and replied: "It seems that they are looking for something. These stone tablets and statues look very old. They may be some kind of ancient monuments."

At this moment, a man in black noticed the presence of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang. He shouted loudly, and the other men in black immediately put down their tools, drew their weapons, and rushed towards Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

"Be careful, Qingshuang!" Luo Chen shouted, and the two of them quickly assumed fighting stances.

The battle was about to break out. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, with their superb martial arts and tacit cooperation, launched a fierce confrontation with the men in black.

The swords flashed and the battle was extremely fierce.

After a hard fight, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang finally subdued all the men in black.

They found maps and some strange symbols on the men in black, which seemed to be related to the ancient ruins they were excavating. "It seems that these men in black are members of a certain organization, and what they are looking for here may be an ancient secret." Luo Chen pondered.

Qingshuang nodded. She looked at the map in her hand and said, "We have to find out what this secret is. Perhaps it is related to the safety of the entire region."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang decided to continue following this clue. They knew that this might be a new adventure.

They tied up the man in black, left a warning, and then continued on their way.

As night fell, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang lit a bonfire in an open space and prepared to rest.

Qingshuang took out some dry food from the package and handed it to Luo Chen: "Eat something first, we need to maintain our strength."

Luo Chen took the dry food and responded with a smile: "Thank you, Qingshuang, I always feel at ease with you around."

Luo Chen nodded. He looked at Qingshuang and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

It was late at night, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang took turns to keep watch to ensure safety.

They know that tomorrow will be another challenging day.

In the blink of an eye, it was early morning.

The birds are chirping on the book.

It makes people feel a little noisy.

Luo Chen couldn't sleep because of the noise, so he slowly opened his eyes.

But then the ground shook slightly.

But it made him sober up all of a sudden.

Luo Chen sat up quickly and looked around, trying to find the source of the vibration.

Qingshuang was also awakened from her sleep. She gripped her sword tightly and looked around vigilantly.

"Luo Chen, what's going on?" Qingshuang asked in a low voice, with a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"I don't know either, but it doesn't feel like a natural phenomenon." Luo Chen replied, standing up and preparing to deal with any situation that might occur.

They quickly put out the campfire to avoid becoming a conspicuous target.

In the dim morning light, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang huddled together, preparing to deal with the impending threat.

Suddenly, the ground shook more violently and heavy footsteps were heard in the distance.

Then, a huge figure slowly walked out of the woods. It was a huge beast, and its eyes were flashing fiercely in the dim light.

"This is a giant beast!" Qingshuang exclaimed. She had never seen such a huge creature.

Luo Chen gripped his weapon tightly, he knew that they had to be careful.

The beast let out a deep roar, shaking the surrounding trees.

"We have to find a way to get around it, or find its weakness." Luo Chen whispered to Qingshuang.

Qingshuang nodded, she knew that Luo Chen's judgment was always correct.

They began to move slowly, trying to find a safe path around the beast.

However, the beast seemed to sense their intentions, and it roared and charged towards them.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang had to draw their weapons and prepare for battle.

The battle was extremely difficult. The giant beast's skin was as hard as iron, and Luo Chen and Qingshuang's attacks did not seem to cause much damage to it.

They could only rely on their flexible movements and tacit cooperation to avoid the attacks of the giant beasts.

After a hard fight, Luo Chen finally discovered that the monster's weakness was its eyes.

He winked at Qingshuang, and the two of them attacked at the same time, aiming directly at the giant beast's eyes.

After a delicate coordination, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang successfully stabbed the giant beast's eyes.

The beast roared in agony, temporarily disoriented.

They seized this opportunity and quickly escaped from the beast's attack range.

When they finally stopped to catch their breath, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were both exhausted, but they knew they had to keep moving forward.

They packed up their equipment and set out again for the city.

As the sun rose higher, the light in the forest became brighter.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang walked through patches of green grass, and occasionally saw some small animals jumping in the grass.

"Luo Chen, have you ever thought about what would happen if we found that ancient secret?" Qingshuang suddenly asked, with a hint of curiosity in her voice.

Luo Chen pondered for a while, then replied: "Who knows if the secret exists? Let's try to find it for now. If we can't find it, there's nothing we can do."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang searched in the forest for several more days.

But unfortunately, they found nothing.

With no other options, the two could only find a nearby market place where immortal cultivators gathered to rest for a while.

It's not good to always sleep outside.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang came to the market town, which was very lively with all kinds of stalls. Immortal cultivators came and went, trading all kinds of spiritual herbs, magic weapons and secret books.

In the center of Fangshi is a huge stone tablet, on which are engraved the rules and history of Fangshi. The surrounding buildings are of ancient style, revealing a long-standing atmosphere.

"Let's find a place to rest first, and by the way, find out some information about those men in black." Luo Chen suggested.

Qingshuang nodded, and the two of them stopped in front of an inn that looked quite clean.

The sign on the inn read "Qingfeng Inn" and a middle-aged man with a smile on his face stood at the door.

"Dear guests, would you like to stop by for a meal or stay overnight?" the man greeted enthusiastically.

"We want to stay in the hotel. Are there any rooms available?" Luo Chen asked.

"Yes, yes. Please follow me," the man said, and led them into the inn.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were arranged to stay in a guest room on the second floor. Although the room was not big, it was clean and tidy.

After they put down their luggage, they decided to go to the lobby on the first floor to eat something and get some information.

The hall was filled with noise and all kinds of voices were intertwined.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang found a corner to sit down and ordered some side dishes and a pot of tea.

"The atmosphere here is really lively." Qingshuang looked around and said softly.

"Yes, the market town is always like this, with all kinds of information circulating. Maybe we can find some clues here." Luo Chen replied.

Just then, several cultivators at the neighboring table caught their attention.

They seemed to be discussing something important. Although their voices were not loud, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang still heard some fragments of their conversation.

"Have you heard? An ancient ruin appeared in Black Wind Ridge recently, and there are treasures hidden inside."

"Really? That's big news. I wonder how many people have already left."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, and something moved in their hearts. (End of this chapter)
