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

Luo Chen thought for a moment and replied, "Once we leave the market and find a quiet place, I can start. Refining magic tools requires concentration and cannot be disturbed by the outside world."

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that once Luo Chen started refining the magic weapon, he would enter a state of ecstasy and nothing in the outside world would affect him.

The two continued to stroll in the market, and Luo Chen's eyes lingered on some stalls from time to time, looking for materials that might be useful to him.

Qingshuang accompanied him silently and occasionally offered some suggestions.

Just as they were about to leave a stall, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Fellow Daoist Luo Chen, please stay."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang turned around and saw a man in gorgeous clothes walking towards them quickly.

The man had a handsome face, but there was a barely perceptible cunning in his eyes.

"I am a disciple of Xuanshen Pavilion. I heard that Brother Luo Chen is quite famous in the world of immortal cultivation, so I came here to get to know him." The man said with a smile.

Luo Chen was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that someone from Xuanshen Pavilion would take the initiative to find him.

He responded politely: "So you are a fellow Taoist from Xuanshen Pavilion. I wonder if you have any advice for me?"

The man smiled and said, "Daoist Luo Chen, we at Xuanshen Pavilion admire your abilities very much and hope to cooperate with you. I wonder if you are willing to join our Xuanshen Pavilion?"

Luo Chen pondered for a moment. Although he knew something about Xuanshen Pavilion, he did not want to be bound by any organization.

He declined, "Thank you for your invitation, fellow Taoist, but I would rather travel freely in the world of immortal cultivation at the moment, and I have no plans to join any organization for the time being."

The man didn't seem surprised by Luo Chen's answer. He nodded and said, "We respect Daoist Luo Chen's choice, but if you change your mind in the future, the door of Xuanshen Pavilion will always be open to you."

After saying goodbye to the man, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang continued to wander around the market.

They know that the world of immortal cultivation is full of opportunities and challenges, and they are moving step by step towards their own future.

As the sun sets, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang decide to leave the market town and find a quiet place to start refining magic weapons.

They know that this will be a long and challenging process, but they also believe that as long as they persevere, they will eventually achieve something.

On the way out of the market, Luo Chen said to Qing Shuang: "Qing Shuang, thank you for always being by my side."

Qing Shuang smiled and replied: "Luo Chen, there is no need to thank each other. No matter what the future holds, I will always be by your side."

The two smiled at each other, their hearts full of anticipation for the future.

As night fell, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang found a secluded valley.

The valley is filled with gurgling springs, singing birds and fragrant flowers. It is a great place to practice and refine weapons.

Luo Chen began to prepare to refine the magic weapon, while Qingshuang stood by to protect him.

In the following days, Luo Chen devoted himself to refining equipment.

According to the records in ancient books, he carefully fused various materials together. After countless failures and attempts, finally a month later, a magical weapon emitting a faint light appeared in his hands.

Luo Chen looked at the magic weapon in his hand, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

He knew that this magical weapon would be a great help in his journey to becoming an immortal.

Qing Shuang looked at the magic weapon in Luo Chen's hand, her eyes full of admiration: "Luo Chen, you did a great job!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly and handed the magic weapon to Qingshuang: "Qingshuang, this magic weapon is for you, I hope it can protect you."

Qingshuang took the magic weapon and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She knew that this was not just a magic weapon, but also a token of Luo Chen's love for her.

Qingshuang took the magic weapon, gently stroked its smooth surface, and felt the fluctuations of spiritual power contained in it.

She looked up at Luo Chen, her eyes full of gratitude: "Luo Chen, you are always so considerate, I...I don't know what to say."

Luo Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Do we need to say anything else? We understand each other tacitly."

Qingshuang nodded and carefully put away the magic weapon.

She knew that this magic weapon was not only a treasure for her to protect herself, but also a testimony of Luo Chen's friendship with her.

In the following days, Luo Chen and Qingshuang continued to practice in the valley, and occasionally exchanged some practice experiences.

Luo Chen's passion and persistence for refining equipment made Qingshuang admire him even more.

One day, Luo Chen discovered a spiritual vein in the valley, which was extremely full of spiritual power.

He said to Qingshuang excitedly: "Qingshuang, there is a spiritual vein here. If we practice here, the effect will be better."

Qing Shuang was also very surprised after hearing this: "Really? Then wouldn't it be possible for us to improve our cultivation faster?"

Luo Chen nodded, and the two decided to open a place for cultivation here.

They used Luo Chen's equipment-refining skills to build some simple training facilities, and set up a spirit-gathering array around the spirit veins to make the spiritual power more concentrated.

As the days passed, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's cultivation improved significantly.

In this valley, they seemed to have found their own paradise.

However, the good times did not last long. One day, an uninvited guest broke their peace.

He was a man in a black robe. He stood at the entrance of the valley, looking at Luo Chen and Qing Shuang with a gloomy gaze.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood up cautiously. Luo Chen asked, "Who are you? Why did you break into our training ground?"

The black-robed man sneered: "I am the leader of the Black Wind Village. I heard that you were practicing here, so I came to visit you."

Qing Shuang frowned slightly: "Black Wind Village? Isn't that a group of bandits who make a living by robbing? We have nothing to do with you, why do you come to visit us?"

The leader of the Black Wind Village laughed loudly: "No connection? You are practicing here and occupying our spiritual veins. Isn't this a provocation to us?"

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang then realized that the leader of the Black Wind Village had come to fight for the spiritual vein.

Luo Chen said calmly: "The spirit vein is ownerless. We discovered and used it first, so it should belong to us."

The Black Wind Village Master shook his head and said, "In this land, the strong are respected. If you want to continue using this spiritual vein, you must prove that you are qualified."

Luo Chen knew that a fight was inevitable, so he signaled Qingshuang to step back and he slowly walked forward.

Although Qingshuang was worried, she also knew Luo Chen's strength, so she stepped aside, ready to provide support at any time.

The battle was about to break out. The strength of the leader of Black Wind Village was indeed extraordinary. The long sword in his hand was swung, bringing gusts of cold wind that made people shudder.

Luo Chen dealt with it with his flexible body and exquisite swordsmanship.

The two of them were going back and forth, fighting inextricably.

Qingshuang watched the battle nervously from the side. She knew that the outcome of this battle would determine whether they could continue to practice in this valley.

As time went by, Luo Chen's swordsmanship became more and more powerful, and he seemed to have found the weakness of the leader of the Black Wind Village.

After a clever dodge, Luo Chen's sword pointed directly at the throat of the leader of the Black Wind Village, and the outcome seemed to be decided.

The Black Wind Village leader saw this and his face changed. He knew he was already at a disadvantage. He suddenly shouted, and his spiritual power surged. A black airflow burst out from his body, forming a powerful shield.

Seeing this, Luo Chen knew that the opponent was going to use a special move. He did not dare to be careless and immediately switched his sword skills to a defensive position. At the same time, he mobilized the spiritual power in his body to prepare for the upcoming fierce attack.

Qingshuang was watching anxiously from the side. She knew that although Luo Chen was an excellent swordsman, he could get hurt if he was not careful when facing an opponent of the level of the Black Wind Village Master.

She held the magic weapon tightly in her hand, ready to help at any time.

The attack of the leader of Black Wind Village came like a violent storm. Luo Chen's sword flickered in the darkness, resisting wave after wave of attacks.

The battle between the two has entered a white-hot stage, and the sound of metal colliding and the roar of spiritual power collision echoes in the valley.

Just when Luo Chen felt a little overwhelmed, Qingshuang finally couldn't hold back anymore. She shouted loudly, and the magic weapon in her hand emitted a dazzling light, which turned into an arrow of light and shot straight towards the leader of the Black Wind Village.

The leader of Black Wind Village was caught off guard by this sudden attack. His shield was broken by the light arrow and he was knocked back several steps.

Luo Chen seized this opportunity, his figure flashed, and the tip of his sword pointed directly at the heart of the Black Wind Village leader.

When the leader of Black Wind Village saw that defeat was inevitable, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he finally chose to retreat.

He snorted coldly, turned around and disappeared out of the valley.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang both breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the Black Wind Village leader leave.

They knew that this victory was hard-won, but it also made them more determined to continue practicing.

"Luo Chen, are you okay?" Qingshuang asked with concern.

Luo Chen shook his head and replied with a smile: "I'm fine, thanks to your timely action."

Qing Shuang smiled gently and said, "We are partners, so we should help each other."

The two smiled at each other and continued to practice in the valley.

Soon, another two days passed.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang came out of their cultivation state.

A few days ago, they went to Lingbao Pavilion to exchange the ancient sword for special materials. Lingbao Pavilion said it would take some time to find them.

I don’t know, what’s going on now?

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang walked side by side on the road leading to Lingbao Pavilion, both of them full of anticipation.

Luo Chen held the ancient sword in his hand. Although it was no longer sharp, the ancient atmosphere and historical accumulation contained in it made every weapon refiner fascinated by it.

"Qingshuang, do you think Lingbao Pavilion can really find the materials we need?" Luo Chen asked nervously.

Qingshuang patted Luo Chen's shoulder gently and comforted him, "Don't worry, Lingbao Pavilion has always had a good reputation. Since they have agreed, they will definitely do their best."

Luo Chen nodded, feeling a little more at ease.

They continued walking, passing through the bustling market, and finally arrived at the gate of Lingbao Pavilion.

The guard at the door recognized Luo Chen and Qing Shuang and respectfully welcomed them in.

The interior of Lingbao Pavilion is magnificently decorated, with all kinds of rare treasures displayed in exquisite display cabinets, which are dazzling.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were led to an elegant reception room. Soon after, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes walked in. He was the master of Lingbao Pavilion.

"Master Luochen, Miss Qingshuang, sorry for keeping you waiting." The Pavilion Master smiled and bowed.

"Master, you are too polite. I wonder if the materials we want to exchange are ready?" Luo Chen asked anxiously.

The Pavilion Master nodded and clapped his hands, and two waiters came in holding an exquisite box.

The Pavilion Master opened the box, and inside lay a few pieces of minerals emitting a strange luster, as well as some rare herbs.

"These materials have been carefully selected by us, and I believe they will be helpful to Master Luo Chen's great cause of refining equipment." said the Pavilion Master.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at the materials carefully and a satisfied smile appeared on their faces.

Luo Chen said to the Pavilion Master gratefully: "Pavilion Master, these materials are exactly what we need. Thank you very much."

"Master Luo Chen, you are too polite. It is our Lingbao Pavilion's honor to serve you." The Pavilion Master replied.

After the transaction was completed, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang left Lingbao Pavilion with the materials.

They decided to return to the valley and begin working on refining new magical weapons.

Along the way, the two discussed the details of refining the weapon, their hearts full of anticipation.

After returning to the valley, Luo Chen immediately began to prepare for refining the weapon.

He placed the materials one by one, then closed his eyes, concentrated, mobilized the spiritual power in his body, and began to practice the technique of refining the weapon.

Qingshuang assisted from the side, and the two of them worked in perfect harmony, and the entire refining process went very smoothly.

As time went by, each magical instrument gradually took shape.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at the magic weapons they had made with their own hands, and their hearts were filled with a sense of accomplishment.

They knew that these magical instruments would become their most reliable partners on their future path of cultivation.

However, just as they were immersed in the joy of refining weapons, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the valley.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, and a bad feeling arose in their hearts.

They quickly put away their magic tools, picked up their weapons, and walked out of the cave cautiously.

At the entrance of the valley, a group of Black Wind Village thugs were staring at them with a fierce look in their eyes.

"You guys, do you want to do it again?" Qingshuang shouted angrily.

The minions of Black Wind Village looked at each other in bewilderment. One of the leaders stood up and said, "Our village leader said that the last failure was just an accident. This time, he sent us to retrieve the spirit vein and asked you to hand over all your magic weapons."

Luo Chen sneered: "You guys were defeated last time, do you still want to die now?"

The minions had ferocious looks on their faces and drew their weapons, ready to attack.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were not to be outdone. They stood side by side, ready to fight.

The battle was about to break out. Although the minions were outnumbered, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang defeated them one by one with their tacit cooperation and superb martial arts. Seeing this, the minions knew they could not win, so they left behind several corpses and fled in embarrassment.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Black Wind Village minions escaping.

They knew that the threat from Black Wind Village had been temporarily lifted, but they also understood that such a battle would not be the last.

"Luo Chen, what should we do next?" Qingshuang asked.

Luo Chen pondered for a while and said, "We need to be stronger to protect ourselves." (End of this chapter)
