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

"Have you noticed?" Qingshuang suddenly said, "Although the dagger in his hand looks like a part of the Blade of Time, it seems to be different."

Hong Ling frowned. "You mean, that might not be the real fragment of the Blade of Time?"

"No." Luo Chen interrupted, "It is indeed a fragment, but it may only be a small part of it. The Blade of Time is a legendary artifact, and its fragments should have more powerful power. The dagger in the hand of this mysterious figure, although it also exudes the power of time, seems to be suppressed by some force."

They continued their discussion until night fell, when the three decided to rest in a dense forest.

They took turns keeping watch to prevent any accidents from happening.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the treetops, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Hong Ling continued their journey.

After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at Wanfa Pavilion.

Wanfa Pavilion is an ancient building located in a quiet valley and surrounded by dense forests.

The outer wall of the attic is covered with ivy, making it look ancient and mysterious.

Luo Chen brought Qingshuang and Hongling into the Wanfa Pavilion, where they were introduced to the elders of the pavilion.

The elder was a white-haired old man with wisdom in his eyes.

"You are facing a crisis that has never happened in a thousand years." After listening to Luo Chen's narration, the elder said slowly, "Once the fragments of the Blade of Time are used by evil people, it will bring unimaginable disasters to this world."

The elder stood up and walked to a wall where a huge world map was hung.

He gently ran his finger across the map, finally stopping on a mark.

"Here," the elder said, "is the place where the legendary Blade of Time last appeared. If the fragments are scattered in this area, then you should start looking from here."

Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Hongling carefully noted down the location pointed by the elder.

They knew it would be a long and difficult journey, but they also understood that they had no way out.

In the Wanfa Pavilion, they got some clues on how to find and identify the fragments of the Blade of Time.

The elders also gave them some ancient magic tools that could help them avoid danger while searching for the fragments.

With gratitude, Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Hongling left Wanfa Pavilion.

They know that the road ahead is full of unknowns and dangers, but they also believe that as long as they unite as one, nothing is impossible.

Finally, on a stormy night, they found the last piece of the Blade of Time.

It is hidden in an ancient temple, and the guardian of the temple is a huge evil dragon.

"Trouble"

Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Hongling stood in the wind and rain, looking at the ancient temple, their hearts filled with tension and anticipation.

The entrance to the temple was blocked by the huge body of the demon dragon. Its eyes were like two burning flames, staring coldly at the three uninvited guests.

"Are we really going in?" There was a hint of trembling in Hongling's voice. Although she was brave, she couldn't help feeling a little afraid when facing such a powerful guardian.

Luo Chen gripped the hilt tightly, his eyes determined, "We have come this far, there is no turning back, we must get that last piece, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted."

Qingshuang nodded, and she began to whisper a spell, preparing to cast a spell to help them break through the dragon's defense.

Luo Chen and Hong Ling also prepared their own weapons and spells.

The three of them looked at each other, nodded, and then launched an attack at the same time.

Luo Chen's swordsmanship was like a violent storm, and the sword light drew sharp arcs in the darkness, pointing directly at the vital points of the demon dragon.

Qingshuang's magic formed streaks of ice in the air, trying to freeze the dragon's movements.

Hongling waved her whip, each whip making a thunderous sound, trying to distract the dragon's attention.

The demon dragon roared, and its huge body twisted in front of the temple. Its tail swept over, bringing up a gust of wind.

Luo Chen and Hong Ling dodged quickly, but Qingshuang was swept up by the wind and almost thrown against a stone pillar nearby.

Seeing this, Luo Chen immediately rushed forward, used his sword to support Qingshuang's body, and helped her to stabilize her body.

Hong Ling took the opportunity to swing her whip and wrapped it around the dragon's tail, trying to restrict its movements.

The battle lasted for a long time. Although the three cooperated well, the power of the demon dragon was too strong.

Every attack seemed to leave only the slightest mark on its scales.

"This is not a solution!" Luo Chen shouted loudly, his voice sounding a little hoarse in the wind and rain.

Qingshuang and Hongling also realized this. They needed to find the dragon's weakness, otherwise the battle would never end.

At this moment, Qingshuang suddenly remembered the ancient magic weapon that the elder gave them in the Wanfa Pavilion.

She quickly took out a small crystal ball from her arms, which seemed to contain some mysterious power.

"Try this!" Qingshuang shouted, and she threw the crystal ball into the air. The crystal ball burst into dazzling light in the air, forming a beam of light that shot directly into the demon dragon's eyes.

The demon dragon let out a painful roar; its vision was temporarily deprived and its movements became sluggish.

Luo Chen and Hong Ling seized this opportunity and launched their strongest attacks at the same time.

Luo Chen's sword was like a flash of lightning, piercing through the dragon's scales and hitting its heart.

Hong Ling wrapped her long whip around the demon dragon's neck and pulled it hard, making the demon dragon's head unable to move.

After a violent struggle, the demon dragon finally fell down, its body collapsed with a loud bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The three of them panted and looked at each other, their eyes full of exhaustion and relief.

They succeeded, and the last fragment of the Blade of Time was right in front of them.

Luo Chen walked carefully towards the body of the demon dragon and took out the last piece from its chest.

The fragment emitted a faint light in the hand, as if telling its extraordinary origin.

"We did it." There was a slight tremor in Qingshuang's voice and tears were glistening in her eyes.

Hongling nodded, with a hint of relief in her eyes, "Yes, we did it."

Luo Chen put away the fragments, then turned to face his two companions, "All this is because of you. Without you, I would not be able to complete this mission."

Qingshuang and Hongling smiled at each other. They knew that this was not only because of their personal strength, but also because of the friendship and trust between them.

The three decided to take a short break in the temple to recover their strength.

In the corner of the temple, they found a relatively dry place to sit down.

Luo Chen took out some dry food and a water bottle from the package and gave them to Qingshuang and Hongling. The three of them sat together, sharing the food, and silently celebrating this hard-earned victory in their hearts.

"What should we do next?" Hongling asked. There was a hint of fatigue in her voice, but more of anticipation for the future.

Luo Chen pondered for a while, then slowly said: "We have to go back to Wanfa Pavilion first and hand over this last piece to the elder. He should know how to deal with these fragments to ensure that they do not fall into the hands of evil people."

Qingshuang nodded, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, "But we can't take it lightly. The fragments of the Blade of Time are so important. We have encountered countless dangers along the way. On the way back to the Wanfa Pavilion, we may encounter more challenges."

"You're right." Luo Chen agreed, "We must remain vigilant and not let anything hinder us."

The three of them rested for a while, then stood up and prepared to leave the temple.

Before leaving the temple, Luo Chen looked around. He wanted to remember this place and everything they had experienced.

He knew in his heart that this adventure would become one of the most precious memories of their lives.

"You know, Luo Chen." Qing Shuang said with a smile, "Before I met you, I always thought I could face everything alone, but now I understand how happy it is to have friends around."

Luo Chen smiled and patted Qing Shuang on the shoulder. "I feel the same way. If it weren't for you, I might have been lost on this road."

Hong Ling looked at them with warmth in her eyes, "We rely on each other and are each other's strength. As long as we are together, nothing can stop us."

They continued on their journey, through dense forests and over rugged mountains.

Although the journey was difficult, they felt unusually relaxed.

Because they know that as long as they unite as one, nothing is impossible.

Finally, after several days of trekking, they saw the outline of Wanfa Pavilion again.

The ancient building looked particularly solemn in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"We are back." Luo Chen whispered, his voice full of emotion.

They walked into the Wanfa Pavilion and met the white-haired elder again.

When the elder saw the fragments in their hands, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

"You have done well." The elder said, "These fragments must be kept properly. I will seal them up to ensure that they will not be used by evil people."

Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Hongling watched the elder seal the fragments one by one, and their hearts were filled with a sense of accomplishment.

They knew that they had not only accomplished their mission, but also brought peace to the world.

In the Wanfa Pavilion, the elders prepared a sumptuous dinner for them to celebrate their success.

After eating and drinking.

The three of them rested in the Wanfa Pavilion for a day.

As time passed, it was the next day, early morning.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang slowly woke up and left the Wanfa Pavilion reluctantly.

Of course, before leaving.

They said goodbye to the elder from Wanfa Pavilion.

After all, a place like this is not a place where Luo Chen and Qing Shuang can stay for a long time.

"Where to go next?"

After leaving Wanfa Pavilion for a distance, Qingshuang looked at Luo Chen beside her with some curiosity.

Luo Chen thought about it, then said: "Let's go to the market to take a mission. Anyway, there is nothing to do recently, and the resources on me seem to be a little insufficient."

Qingshuang nodded, she knew Luo Chen was right.

As cultivators, they always need to constantly look for new tasks to make a living, while also improving their strength through constant adventures.

"The market is not far from here. If we walk faster, maybe we can catch up with today's market." Qingshuang suggested.

Luo Chen smiled. He liked Qingshuang's optimistic attitude.

The two of them walked side by side, and Hongling followed behind. The three of them talked and laughed along the way, enjoying the rare quiet time.

When they arrived at the market town, they indeed encountered a bustling market.

The streets of the market town were bustling with people and there were stalls selling a wide variety of goods, from magical herbs and medicines to magical instruments and treasures.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang moved among the crowd, while Hongling was attracted by some novel gadgets from time to time and stopped to watch.

"Look at that, Luo Chen!" Qingshuang pointed to a bracelet on a stall. The bracelet was inlaid with several crystal clear gems and emitted a faint fluctuation of spiritual power.

Luo Chen looked in the direction of Qing Shuang's finger and smiled slightly, "Buy it if you like it. We have gained a lot from this mission, so we should reward ourselves."

Qingshuang's cheeks flushed slightly and she shook her head, "No, I just think it's pretty. Let's go get the mission first."

The three of them continued forward and finally arrived at the bulletin board in the market town where tasks were posted.

Many cultivators gathered here, some discussing in low voices, some reading the mission contents carefully.

Luo Chen's eyes quickly scanned the bulletin board and finally stopped at a task: "Retrieve the lost ancient books, the reward is generous."

"How about this mission?" Luo Chen turned and asked Qingshuang and Hongling.

Hong Ling came forward and took a closer look at the mission description. "It sounds interesting, and the reward is really good. However, the places where ancient books are lost are often a bit strange. We have to be careful."

Qingshuang nodded. "I agree with Hongling's opinion. However, this is not the first time we have faced this kind of mission. As long as we act carefully, there shouldn't be any big problems."

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind, "That's it. Let's get ready first and set off early tomorrow morning."

The three of them left the bulletin board and began to purchase some necessities in the market.

Luo Chen bought some elixirs to restore spiritual power, Qingshuang picked out some powerful talisman papers, and Hongling was interested in some special formation materials.

After completing the shopping, they found an inn to stay in.

As night fell, the three of them sat in a room in the inn and began to discuss tomorrow's mission.

"According to the mission description, the place where the ancient books were lost should be in an ancient ruin." Luo Chen spread out a map and pointed to a location marked with a red dot.

Qing Shuang carefully observed the map. "I have heard of this place. It is said that there was once a powerful immortal cultivation sect there, but because of a great war, the entire sect was destroyed and only ruins remained."

Hong Ling frowned, "A big battle? Will there be any danger?"

"It's possible." Luo Chen nodded, "But we can't give up the mission just because of the possible danger. We just need to be fully prepared and act carefully." (End of this chapter)
