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

After reading these things, Luo Chen finally had a preliminary understanding of the blood-red crystal.

This thing is probably a kind of crystal that can summon ancient races.

However, this crystal is a little too dangerous.

If you are not careful, something could go wrong.

Therefore, Luo Chen had no intention of summoning the so-called ancient race.

It's better to bury things like this underground.

Anyway, as long as the development of the mid-grade spirit stone mine can go smoothly, isn't that enough?
Luo Chen and Qingshuang continued to explore the cave. They carefully avoided the strange patterns and symbols for fear of triggering some ancient mechanism.

Qingshuang stopped from time to time, using her keen perception to feel the energy fluctuations around her, trying to find some clues.

"Luo Chen, do you feel that there is something unusual about the energy flow here?" Qingshuang asked softly, her brows slightly furrowed.

Luo Chen nodded, he also felt an unusual fluctuation.

"Indeed, the energy here seems to flow according to a certain pattern, as if some kind of ritual is being performed."

They continued forward and finally found a stone platform deep in the cave, on which were placed some ancient books and scrolls.

The books and scrolls looked very old, but the text on them was still clearly visible.

Qingshuang carefully picked up a scroll, gently brushed off the dust on it, and began to read.

"These scrolls contain legends about an ancient race and how they used these crystals for summoning."

Luo Chen stood aside, listening quietly to Qingshuang's interpretation.

"So, these crystals are not just a medium for summoning, they also contain the power of the ancient race."

Qingshuang nodded, a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Yes, if what is recorded in these scrolls is true, then we may be standing on a very dangerous edge."

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then said: "We must handle these crystals carefully and not let them fall into the hands of people with bad intentions."

Qingshuang agreed with Luo Chen's opinion. She put the scroll back to its original place and continued to explore the cave with Luo Chen.

They found a huge stone door at the other end of the cave, which was engraved with complex runes and seemed to be a seal.

"Behind this door may be the place where the ancient race is sealed." Luo Chen said in a low voice.

Qingshuang walked forward and carefully observed the runes on the stone door.

"These runes are very ancient. I will need some time to decipher them."

Luo Chen nodded and signaled the disciples behind him to stay alert and protect Qingshuang.

Qingshuang began to chant the ancient spell in a low voice, her fingers lightly brushing over the runes, trying to find a way to unlock the stone door.

As time passed, beads of sweat began to appear on Qingshuang's forehead.

Finally, with her efforts, the runes on the stone door began to emit a faint light, and the stone door slowly opened.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew that the next step might be decisive.

They carefully passed through the stone door and found a more spacious cave.

In the center of the cave, there is a huge pit, which emits a suffocating smell.

"Is this the place where the ancient race was sealed?" Luo Chen asked in a low voice.

Qingshuang nodded, with a hint of trembling in her voice.

"Yes, this is the core of the seal. We must be careful not to let the seal be destroyed."

Luo Chen walked forward and found some stone mechanisms on the edge of the pit, which seemed to be used to reinforce the seal.

He began trying to adjust these mechanisms, trying to make the seal more stable.

Just then, they heard hurried footsteps.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang turned around quickly and found a group of men in black appearing at the entrance of the cave.

"Who are you? Why did you break in here?" Luo Chen asked in a deep voice.

The leading man in black sneered.

"It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is that we know the secrets here. The power of these ancient races will belong to us."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately realized that these men in black were here to seize the power of the ancient race.

They can't let these men in black succeed.

"If you want these powers, you have to get past us first!" Luo Chen shouted, and he and Qingshuang quickly assumed fighting stances, ready to fight.

The men in black were not to be outdone. They drew their weapons and attacked Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

A fierce battle broke out in the cave.

Luo Chen brandished the Water Spirit Sword, and the sword energy was like a rainbow, repelling the man in black who was rushing in front of him.

Qingshuang cast an ice spell, instantly lowering the temperature around him, making the man in black's movements slow down.

The battle lasted for a long time. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang finally defeated all the men in black with their tacit cooperation and powerful strength.

The bodies of the men in black lay all over the cave, and Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were exhausted.

"We have to leave here as soon as possible. The seal has been damaged and we must find a way to repair it." Qingshuang said breathlessly.

Luo Chen nodded, and he, Qingshuang and his disciples quickly left the cave.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the disciples to quickly leave the cave. They knew that the next task would be even more difficult.

They must find a way to repair the seal, otherwise once the power of the ancient race is released, the consequences will be disastrous.

After returning to the ground, Luo Chen immediately summoned all his disciples and began to discuss countermeasures.

They decided to act separately, with one group responsible for finding materials and methods to repair the seal, and the other group responsible for protecting the mineral veins to prevent other forces from taking advantage of the situation.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang decided to go to the nearby sect in person to seek help.

They knew that it would be difficult to accomplish this task on their own.

On the way to the sect, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang discussed the seal as they walked.

"Luo Chen, do you think we can find a way to repair the seal?" Qingshuang's voice was filled with a hint of worry.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then said: "We must find a way. Although it is difficult, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we can't give up."

Qingshuang nodded, she knew Luo Chen was right.

After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the nearest sect - the Bishui Sect.

The Bishui Sect was famous for its water magic and had a good relationship with Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's alliance of independent cultivators. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang explained the situation to the leader of the Bishui Sect, who was shocked and immediately summoned the elders of the sect to discuss countermeasures.

In the sect's main hall.

At this time, there are many people here.

The sect leader was a middle-aged man named Shui Wuhen. He was dressed in the uniform of the Bishui Sect and looked dignified and steady.

After listening to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's narration, he frowned, obviously worried about this sudden news.

"Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, what you are talking about is of great importance. We in the Bishui Sect will naturally not stand idly by." Shui Wuhen said in a deep voice, his eyes swept over the elders present, "Elders, what do you think?"

A white-haired old man stood up. He was the chief elder of the Bishui Sect, named Shui Jing.

He spoke slowly: "Master, the power of the ancient race is extraordinary. We cannot let it fall into the hands of evil. I suggest sending the elite disciples in the sect to go to the underground passage with Luo Chen and Qing Shuang to find a way to repair the seal."

Shui Wuhen nodded to show his agreement.

"Okay, Elder Shuijing, I'll do as you say. I will also go to other sects in person to seek their support. After all, this is not just a matter for the Bishui Sect."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew that with the support of the Bishui Sect, the hope of repairing the seal increased greatly.

"Thank you, Sect Master and Elder Shui Jing." Luo Chen said gratefully.

"You're welcome, Luo Chen, Qingshuang. You are also distinguished guests of my Bishui Sect. You should go and rest now. We will start the action early tomorrow morning." Shui Wuhen said.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were given a quiet guest room arranged by the Bishui Sect.

They had a simple rest for the night, and early the next morning, together with the elite disciples sent by the Bishui Sect, they once again set out on the journey to the underground passage.

A medium-grade spirit stone vein, outside the underground passage.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the elite disciples of the Bishui Sect and once again came to the entrance of the underground passage of the medium-grade spirit stone mine.

The sunlight shines through the cracks onto the ground, but it cannot dispel the cold and dampness in the passage.

A group of people stepped into the passage in silence, and their footsteps echoed in the empty passage.

"Luo Chen, Qingshuang, you have explored this place before. Can you give us directions?" Elder Shui Jing asked, his voice echoing in the passage.

Luo Chen nodded. He walked at the front of the team, and Qingshuang followed closely behind. Both of them were quite familiar with the terrain here.

They led the team, carefully avoiding traces of previous battles, and moved towards the cave that sealed the ancient race.

"The atmosphere here seems a little different." Qingshuang said softly. Her perception was sharper than others.

Luo Chen also felt that there was an ominous atmosphere in the air, as if something was secretly spying on them.

He clenched the Water Spirit Sword in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

"Everyone be careful, there may be unknown dangers." Luo Chen warned.

The team continued to move forward, and soon they arrived at the place where they had fought with the men in black before.

The bodies on the ground had been cleared, but the traces of the battle were still clearly visible.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew that a fierce battle had taken place here.

"Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, you did a great job." Elder Shui Jing praised, "Now, our first task is to find a way to repair the seal. Have you found any clues?"

Qingshuang shook his head. "We haven't found a specific method to repair the seal before, but these scrolls may contain the information we need."

She pointed to the ancient books and scrolls found on the stone platform earlier.

Elder Shui Jing nodded and signaled his disciples to begin searching and studying these ancient documents.

The disciples came forward one after another and carefully flipped through these precious materials.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang continued to go deeper into the cave, and they came to the huge crystal pillar.

The crystal pillar still emitted a dazzling light, but Luo Chen always felt that there seemed to be a hint of ominousness hidden in this light.

"The power in this crystal column seems to be more active than the last time we came here." Qingshuang said with a frown.

Luo Chen nodded, he stretched out his hand and gently touched the crystal column.

A powerful energy wave came from the crystal column, and Luo Chen felt that his spiritual power resonated with it.

"Luo Chen, be careful!" Qingshuang reminded nervously.

Luo Chen withdrew his hand, and he felt many images suddenly flashing through his mind. They were fragments of memories about ancient races.

He closed his eyes and tried to comprehend the meaning of the images.

"I saw... the war between the ancient races, and the horrific creatures they summoned using these crystals." Luo Chen opened his eyes and said solemnly.

After hearing this, Qingshuang's face turned pale. "So, these crystals can not only summon ancient races, but also summon even more terrifying beings."

"We must find a way to seal them as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in trouble once these creatures are released." Luo Chen said firmly.

Just then, they heard Elder Shui Jing's voice coming from the entrance of the cave, "Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, we found some clues!"

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately turned around and walked quickly towards Elder Shui Jing.

They discovered that the disciples of the Bishui Sect had found some records about the seal, which mentioned a special ritual that could be used to strengthen the seal.

"We need to prepare some special materials and then proceed with the ceremony." Elder Shui Jing explained.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang listened carefully, they knew that this might be their only chance.

They decided to start preparing the necessary materials immediately and perform the ceremony as soon as possible.

In the next few days, Luo Chen and Qingshuang led the disciples of the Bishui Sect to search for the necessary materials.

They crossed dangerous forests, climbed steep mountains, and finally collected all the necessary items.

Back in the cave, they began preparations for the ceremony.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang carefully placed the various materials according to the records in ancient books, while Elder Shui Jing gave them guidance.

As the preparations for the ceremony were gradually completed, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's hearts were filled with nervousness and anticipation.

They knew that once the ceremony began, there would be no turning back.

Elder Shui Jing stood aside, his eyes revealing a hint of seriousness. He was well aware of the importance of this ceremony.

"Luo Chen, Qingshuang, are you ready?" Elder Shuijing's voice echoed in the cave.

Luo Chen nodded, his eyes firm, "We are ready, Elder."

Qing Shuang held Luo Chen's hand tightly, her eyes showing a hint of determination, "We can't let the power of the ancient race threaten our territory again."

Elder Shui Jing nodded and began to chant the ancient spell in a low and powerful voice.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also chanted along, their voices blending with Elder Shui Jing's, forming a strange harmony. (End of this chapter)
