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

The three of them arrived outside the inn and saw a group of masked robbers besieging a carriage.

The guards on the carriage fought hard, but were obviously no match for their opponents.

"We can't just sit back and do nothing." Qingshuang said calmly.

Luo Chen nodded, "Let's go."

The three of them quickly joined the battle. The "Silver Moon Ice Blade" in Luo Chen's hand flashed coldly in the night. Qingshuang and Hongling used their secret techniques respectively to engage in fierce battle with the bandits.

The battle lasted for a short while, and the bandits, seeing that the situation was not good, fled in all directions.

Luo Chen and his team successfully protected the carriage and won the gratitude of the carriage owner.

"Thank you three heroes for your help," the carriage owner said gratefully, "I am the chief of a nearby village. This time I went to the city to purchase food. If it weren't for you, the consequences would be disastrous."

Luo Chen waved his hand, "You're welcome, this is what we should do."

The village chief invited them to rest in the village for a night, and the three agreed.

Led by the village chief, they came to a quiet little village.

The village chief prepared a sumptuous dinner for them and told them about the recent situation of the village.

It turned out that the village had recently been invaded by some mysterious forces, and the lives of the villagers had been affected.

"There is an ancient legend in our village that says there is a mysterious power that can dispel evil and protect the village," said the village chief.

Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Hongling looked at each other and had ideas in their minds.

"Maybe we can help you." Luo Chen said.

After hearing this, the village chief's eyes flashed with hope, "Really? That's great!"

The three decided to stay in the village for a while to help the villagers solve this problem.

They knew that this was not only an adventure, but also a test of their own abilities.

In the following days, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Hong Ling began to investigate the abnormal conditions around the village.

They discovered that there was an unusual power hidden in the mountains and forests near the village.

"This power seems to be somewhat similar to the secret technique of 'Heavenly Secret Lock', but it is also different." Qingshuang said with a frown.

Luo Chen nodded, "We have to be careful and not act rashly."

Hong Ling seemed a little excited, "If we can solve this problem, we can bring peace to the village."

After some investigation and preparation, the three decided to enter the forest on the full moon night to face the mysterious power.

When the full moon night came, they came to the depths of the forest.

Under the moonlight, everything in the mountains and forests appeared unusually clear.

Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Hongling moved forward cautiously, and suddenly, they found an ancient altar in front of them.

There was a faint light emanating from the altar, which seemed to be closely related to the mysterious power.

The three approached the altar and saw some ancient runes engraved on it.

"These runes seem to record some kind of ritual." Luo Chen said in a low voice.

After careful observation, Qingshuang discovered that these runes were somehow related to the "Silver Moon Ice Blade" secret technique. "This may be an ancient sealing ritual used to seal a certain power."

Hong Ling suggested: "Let's try to restart the ritual, maybe we can seal the evil power."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang agreed to Hong Ling's proposal. They followed the instructions of the runes on the altar and began to prepare for the initiation ceremony.

As they moved, the light on the altar became brighter and brighter, and the air around them seemed to begin to vibrate.

Suddenly, a powerful force erupted from the center of the altar, forming a column of light that shot straight into the sky.

Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Hongling were pushed back a few steps by this force, but they did not give up.

They continued to persevere until the pillar of light gradually dissipated and the runes on the altar gradually dimmed.

That mysterious power seemed to have been successfully sealed.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this adventure not only helped the village, but also gave them a deeper understanding of the secret technique of "Heavenly Secret Lock".

After the village chief and villagers learned the news, they rushed over to express their gratitude to Luo Chen and his friends.

The village chief even invited them to participate in the celebration the next day.

During the celebration, the villagers sang and danced, expressing their gratitude to Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Hong Ling.

The three of them also felt unprecedented satisfaction and happiness.

It was late at night, and after the celebration was over, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Hong Ling sat in the village square, gazing at the starry sky.

They were in an especially relaxed mood.

"Luo Chen, do you think we have really sealed that power?" Hong Ling looked at the stars in the night sky with a hint of uncertainty, as if looking for an answer.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, with a determined light in his eyes, "I believe we did it. Look, the atmosphere in the mountains and forests has returned to calm, and there is no longer that disturbing fluctuation."

Qingshuang nodded. He was always calmer than others. "Yes, I felt it too. But we can't let our guard down. We must ensure that the seal will not be broken again."

The three of them were silent for a while, each immersed in their own thoughts.

Luo Chen was the first to break the silence, "We should check the altar again tomorrow to make sure everything is in good working order."

Hongling jumped up happily, "Okay, I'll go early tomorrow morning, but tonight, let's just enjoy this quiet night."

Qingshuang also stood up and dusted herself off, "I agree with Hongling. We should go back and rest now."

They walked back together to the residence prepared for them by the village chief, which was a spacious and comfortable wooden house.

The furnishings in the house are simple, but there is a warm atmosphere.

"You guys go to sleep first, I'll keep watch." Qingshuang offered, his eyes revealing a hint of unquestionable determination.

Luo Chen and Hong Ling did not refuse. They knew Qingshuang's insistence and understood that this was for everyone's safety.

It was late at night, Luo Chen lay in bed, but found it difficult to fall asleep.

His thoughts drifted far away, and he remembered his original intention of practicing the "Silver Moon Ice Blade" secret technique.

He wanted to become stronger and protect everything he held dear.

And tonight's adventure made him more confident in his own path.

Hongling was in another room. She looked at the moonlight outside the window, her heart full of longing for the future.

She knew that her journey with Luo Chen and Qing Shuang had just begun, and there were countless unknowns waiting for them ahead.

The next morning, Luo Chen and Hong Ling were awakened by the singing of birds.

After they washed up, they went to the altar with Qingshuang.

"Look, the runes on the altar have completely dimmed." Hong Ling pointed at the altar and said excitedly. Luo Chen carefully checked it and confirmed that there was nothing abnormal. "It seems that our efforts have not been in vain. The seal is very solid."

Qingshuang nodded, but his expression remained serious, "We should still leave some warnings in case someone accidentally breaks the seal."

So the three began to put up warning signs around the altar and told the village chiefs to protect the area as well.

After everything was arranged, they left the place.

After walking and stopping for a few days, Luo Chen and the other two returned to the market where immortal cultivators gathered.

The three of them looked around and then walked towards the Tianji Pavilion.

The Tianji Pavilion still stands in the center of the market town, its tall tower reaching into the sky, as if showing the supreme majesty of the immortal cultivators to the world.

Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Hongling walked slowly into the gate of Tianji Pavilion. They knew that this would be the starting point of their next journey.

"You're back." A gentle voice sounded behind them.

The three of them looked back and found that it was the elder of Tianji Pavilion, Xuanjizi.

"Yes, elder." Luo Chen replied respectfully, "The crisis in the village has been resolved."

Xuanjizi nodded, with approval in his eyes, "You have done very well, but the road to becoming an immortal is long and arduous, you still need to keep honing your skills."

Qing Shuang nodded slightly, "We understand, Elder. We have benefited a lot from this experience."

Xuanjizi smiled lightly and took out three jade slips from his sleeves. "This is a reward for you. It contains some advanced cultivation methods. I hope it will be helpful to you."

The three of them took the jade slips, expressed their gratitude, and then each found a place to start studying.

Luo Chen sat cross-legged, placed the jade slip on his forehead, and a stream of information poured into his mind.

He savored the mystery of it carefully, and his understanding of the secret technique of "Silver Moon Ice Blade" deepened a little bit.

Hongling was in a quiet courtyard. She placed the jade slip in her palm, closed her eyes, and felt the flow of spiritual energy in it.

A delighted smile appeared on her face, as if she had found the secret to improving her swordsmanship.

Qingshuang was in the library, carefully flipping through ancient books, looking for clues related to the secret technique of "Heavenly Secret Lock".

His brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, and he was obviously thinking about some profound problem.

As the sun sets and the moon rises, the three of them are immersed in their own worlds. It is not until late at night when everyone is asleep that they slowly stop practicing and smile at each other.

"Luo Chen, what do you think about the contents of the jade slip?" Hong Ling asked curiously.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment and slowly spoke, "The contents of the jade slip are extremely profound, I still need time to digest it.

However, I feel like I have made a new breakthrough in my cultivation.”

Qingshuang nodded, "I feel the same way. The knowledge in the jade slip has given me a deeper understanding of the 'Heavenly Secret Lock'. I think I can use it better now."

Hong Ling's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Me too! I have found the trick to improve my swordsmanship. I believe that in the near future, my swordsmanship will be taken to a higher level."

The three of them smiled at each other. They knew that this was just a small episode in their journey of cultivation, and there were countless challenges waiting for them ahead.

The next day, Luo Chen and the other two decided to visit a senior who lived in seclusion in the mountains. It was said that he had unique insights into the secret technique of "Heavenly Secret Lock".

They passed through the dense forest, crossed the mountain stream, and finally came to a quiet valley.

There is a simple cottage in the valley, and a white-haired old man is leisurely drinking tea in front of the cottage.

"Senior, we are disciples of Tianji Pavilion, and we have come here to ask you for advice." Luo Chen bowed respectfully.

The old man smiled and motioned for them to sit down. "I have been waiting for a long time. I may be able to answer some of your questions."

Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Hongling asked the old man in turn about the difficulties they encountered in their cultivation.

The old man listened to them patiently and then answered their questions one by one.

"The key to cultivation is persistence and understanding." The old man said slowly, "You three each have your own talents. As long as you keep working hard, you will definitely achieve something."

After hearing this, the three of them suddenly felt enlightened and gained a deeper understanding of the way of cultivation.

After bidding farewell to the old man, Luo Chen and the other two set out on their journey again.

They knew that the road to becoming an immortal was long and lonely, but as long as they walked hand in hand, nothing was impossible.

After leaving this place and returning to Tianji Pavilion again.

Luo Chen and the other two decided to practice in seclusion for a while.

I've been busy with other things lately.

This made Luo Chen and others feel a little tired.

Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Hongling found a secluded corner in the quiet room of Tianji Pavilion and prepared to start their retreat.

For them, practicing in seclusion is an excellent opportunity to improve their cultivation and consolidate what they have learned.

They each found a cushion, sat cross-legged, and began a long period of meditation and practice.

Time passed slowly in silence, and Luo Chen's consciousness gradually sank into the ocean of cultivation.

He felt the spiritual energy in his body surging like a river, and the secret technique of Silver Moon Ice Blade continued to evolve in his mind. Every time he practiced, he had a deeper understanding of this secret technique.

He began to try to merge the Silver Moon Ice Blade with his own sword intent. Every attempt made his sword energy sharper and colder.

Hongling constantly tried to incorporate the newly learned sword techniques into her own sword moves during her training.

Her swordsmanship was already known for its agility, and now new changes had been added, making her sword moves even more unpredictable.

She seemed to transform into a red shadow, dancing in the quiet room, the sword flashing like the brightest star in the night sky.

Qingshuang was studying the secrets of the Tianji Locking Technique.

He discovered that the Heavenly Secret Lock was not only a means of defense, but also a way to gain insight into opportunities.

He began to try to combine the Heavenly Secret Lock with his spiritual perception, and each attempt made him more aware of his surroundings.

He seemed to be able to foresee what was about to happen, and this ability made him more calm in his training.

Just like this, day after day, Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Hongling continued to practice in the quiet room, and their cultivation level was steadily improving.

The tacit understanding between them continued to deepen during their practice, and their cooperation with each other became more seamless.

Finally, after a practice, the three of them opened their eyes at the same time, and their eyes were shining with excitement.

They knew it was time to end the retreat.

"I gained a lot from this retreat." Luo Chen said with emotion.

"Yes, I feel that my swordsmanship has reached a new level." Hongling responded with a smile.

Qing Shuang nodded and said, "The Heavenly Secret Locking Technique has also made a new breakthrough. I can feel that my spiritual perception is sharper than before."

The three of them smiled at each other. They knew that this retreat not only improved their cultivation, but also deepened their friendship. (End of this chapter)
