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

"Luo Chen, look over there!" Qingshuang suddenly pointed to an open space not far ahead, where there was a huge stone engraved with ancient runes.

Luo Chen looked intently and saw a faint fluorescence emitting from the stone, which echoed the light of the Night Spirit Stone.

"That should be the entrance to the altar."

The group cautiously approached the stone, and the elders began to cast spells, trying to unlock the runes on the stone.

As rays of light flowed over the runes, the stone slowly moved, revealing a staircase leading down to the ground.

"Let's go down." Luo Chen took the lead and walked down the stairs first.

Below the stairs is a wide underground space with an altar made of night spirit flowers in the center, emitting a mysterious blue light.

"Is this the real secret of the Night Spirit Flower?" Qingshuang asked in a low voice, his eyes full of curiosity.

Luo Chen did not answer. He was concentrating on observing the situation around the altar.

Suddenly, he felt a powerful force fluctuation, and the Night Spirit Flower in the center of the altar began to shake violently.

"Be careful!" Luo Chen shouted and immediately cast a powerful defensive barrier that enveloped the entire team.

At this moment, the Night Spirit Flower in the center of the altar suddenly burst into dazzling light, and a figure slowly walked out of the light.

He was a mysterious man in a black robe, his face obscured by shadows, with only a pair of eyes flashing strangely in the darkness.

And this doesn't seem to be the most bizarre thing.

What really makes people feel the most strange is that this person seems to have no breath of life.

Looking at it, it seems to be a person.

But in fact, it seems more like a controlled puppet.

"Who are you?" Luo Chen asked in a deep voice, his hand tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, ready to respond to any possible battle at any time.

The mysterious man did not answer immediately, but slowly looked around at everyone present.

His gaze finally stopped on Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, as if he was assessing their strength.

"It doesn't matter who I am." The mysterious man's voice was low and hollow, as if it came from far away. "What's important is that you shouldn't have come here."

Qing Shuang tightly grasped the talisman paper in her hand. She could feel the unusual power. She whispered to Luo Chen, "Be careful, this person is not simple."

Luo Chen nodded. He could feel the oppression emanating from the other party, which made him more alert.

He slowly took a step forward, trying to break the silent confrontation.

"We are here to explore the secret of the Night Spirit Flower. If you know something, tell us." Luo Chen's voice was firm but polite.

The mysterious man chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "Exploring secrets? You mortals are always so arrogant, thinking you can control everything."

At this moment, an elder of the sect suddenly spoke up: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The mysterious man turned his head and looked at the elder. There was a hint of impatience in his eyes. "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you have disturbed the peace here."

As the mysterious man's words fell, the entire underground space began to vibrate, and the night spirit flowers on the altar emitted a brighter light, as if responding to the mysterious man's power.

"We must stop him!" Luo Chen shouted, then swung his sword and rushed towards the mysterious man.

Qingshuang also reacted quickly. She took out pieces of talisman paper from her arms and began to cast spells, trying to seal the mysterious man's actions.

Other disciples and elders of the sect also joined the battle. They each cast spells, forming attacks to attack the mysterious man.

However, the mysterious man's power seemed to be beyond their imagination. An invisible barrier formed around his body and all attacks were easily blocked.

"You are too weak." The mysterious man sneered, and a black scepter suddenly appeared in his hand, with a huge night spirit stone inlaid on the top of the scepter.

As the scepter was swung, a powerful wave of force spread out, knocking Luo Chen and the others back.

Luo Chen rolled in the air and landed on the ground. He felt a surge of blood and energy, but he quickly steadied himself and rushed towards the mysterious man again.

"Luo Chen, be careful!" Qingshuang shouted anxiously. She knew Luo Chen's strength, but facing this mysterious man, she felt unprecedented worry.

Luo Chen did not respond, his eyes were only focused on the battle. He kept swinging his sword to attack, trying to find the mysterious man's weakness.

The battle lasted for a long time, and neither side gained a clear advantage.

Although the mysterious man's power is great, it seems to be restricted in some way and cannot be fully exerted.

"You mortals are so annoying." The mysterious man finally showed a hint of impatience. He waved the scepter in his hand again. This time, a more violent wave of power spread out in all directions.

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and other people from the sect were blown away by this force. They fell heavily to the ground and were unable to get up for a while.

The mysterious man slowly walked towards the altar, his eyes fell on the Night Spirit Flower again, as if he was performing some kind of ritual.

"Stop him!" Luo Chen stood up with difficulty. He knew he had to do something.

Qingshuang also struggled to stand up. She took out a precious talisman paper from her arms. It was her last resort.

"Luo Chen, catch it!" Qingshuang threw the talisman paper to Luo Chen. She knew that only Luo Chen's power could activate this talisman paper.

Luo Chen caught the talisman paper, and he could feel the powerful power contained in it.

Without hesitation, he immediately stuck the talisman on his sword.

The sword body suddenly burst into dazzling light, and Luo Chen felt a powerful force surging into his body.

"Hah!" Luo Chen shouted and swung his sword towards the mysterious man.

The sword light streaked across the night sky like a meteor, carrying unparalleled power and striking the mysterious man directly.

The mysterious man felt threatened, he turned around and swung the scepter in his hand again, trying to block the fatal blow.

However, Luo Chen's sword was unstoppable and directly cut off the scepter. The sword light continued to attack the mysterious man without any loss of force.

The mysterious man exclaimed, he didn't expect Luo Chen to be able to exert such powerful strength.

The sword light finally hit the mysterious man, and his black robe was torn, revealing a shocking fact.

The mysterious man, or rather, the controlled puppet, turned out to be a strange creature made up of Night Spirit Flowers.

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and everyone present were shocked. They did not expect that the Night Spirit Flower could become such a terrifying existence.

"This...what's going on?" Luo Chen gasped. He felt his strength rapidly draining away.

Qingshuang hurried forward to support Luo Chen. She knew that Luo Chen had exhausted all his strength. "We have to leave here." Qingshuang said anxiously.

Luo Chen nodded, he knew he could no longer fight.

Other disciples and elders of the sect also gathered together, knowing that now was the best time to retreat.

Under the leadership of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, everyone began to retreat in an orderly manner. They walked through the stairs and left the underground space.

When they returned to the ground, the entire Eternal Night Valley seemed to have returned to calm, as if everything that had just happened was just a nightmare.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew that although this expedition was full of dangers, it also gave them a deeper understanding of the Night Spirit Flower.

"Let's go back. The sect needs to know all this." Luo Chen said.

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that Luo Chen was right. The sect must be prepared to deal with more possible threats.

The group, exhausted and full of doubts, set out on the journey back to the sect.

Not long after they left, the strange wailing sound was heard again from the depths of the Eternal Night Valley, as if indicating that this matter was far from over.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the sect's team and slowly walked out of the shadow of the Eternal Night Valley.

The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds and fell on their tired faces, bringing them a touch of warmth.

Although he felt physically tired, Luo Chen's mind was full of thoughts about the future.

"Luo Chen, who do you think that mysterious man is?" Qingshuang asked as she walked, with a hint of fatigue and confusion in her voice.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then replied: "I'm not sure, but it's definitely not a human. Perhaps it has some mysterious connection with the Night Spirit Flower."

"Then what should we do next?" Qingshuang continued to ask. She knew that Luo Chen could always come up with a solution.

"We need more information," Luo Chen said, "After returning to the sect, I will ask the sect master to gather all the elders to study the secrets of the Night Spirit Flower together."

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that Luo Chen’s decisions were always well considered.

They continued to move forward, passing through woods and crossing streams, and finally saw the outline of the sect at dusk.

After returning to the sect, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately reported to the sect master what they saw and heard during their trip to Eternal Night Valley.

After listening to their story, the sect leader frowned, obviously very worried about the news.

"This matter is of great importance," the sect leader said in a deep voice, "I will gather all the elders immediately. We must find out the secret of the Night Spirit Flower and the identity of that mysterious man."

After Luo Chen and Qing Shuang retreated, the sect leader immediately issued an order and summoned all the important figures in the sect.

In the sect's main hall, an emergency meeting regarding the Night Spirit Flower quickly began.

"Dear elders," the sect master said solemnly as he stood in the center of the hall, "Luo Chen and Qing Shuang have brought back important information. There is a huge secret hidden in the Evernight Valley. We must uncover it as soon as possible."

The elders nodded one after another; they knew the seriousness of the matter.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were also invited to the meeting, and they described in detail to everyone present what they saw and heard in the Eternal Night Valley.

"The existence of the Night Spirit Flower is obviously much more complicated than we previously knew," said an elderly elder. "We need more research to understand its true purpose."

"Moreover, the appearance of that mysterious man has also sounded the alarm for us," another elder added, "We must be vigilant to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

The meeting lasted for several hours, and the wise men in the sect put forward their own insights and suggestions.

Finally, the leader made a decision.

"Luo Chen, Qing Shuang," the sect leader turned to them, "your mission is not over yet. I need you to continue investigating the secret of the Night Spirit Flower and find out the identity of that mysterious man."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang respectfully accepted the task.

They knew that this would be a road full of unknowns and dangers, but they also understood that this was their responsibility as disciples of the sect.

In the following days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began their investigation.

They looked through all the ancient books in the sect, looking for clues about the Night Spirit Flower and the mysterious man.

At the same time, they also continued to communicate with other disciples in the sect, hoping to get some useful information from them.

As time passed, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's investigation gradually made progress.

They discovered some ancient legends about the Night Flower, which mentioned the mysterious connection between the Night Flower and Evernight Valley.

"Look here," Qingshuang pointed at the words on an ancient book, "It is said that the Night Spirit Flower is the guardian flower of the Evernight Valley. It can absorb the power of darkness and protect the peace in the valley."

Luo Chen nodded. He felt that this information was very important. "Then, the mysterious man might be controlled by the power of the Night Spirit Flower."

"We still need more evidence," Qingshuang said, "Perhaps we should go to Evernight Valley again."

Luo Chen agreed to Qingshuang's proposal.

They decided to set out for Evernight Valley again after they were ready.

This time, the preparations needed are naturally more extensive.

You should also bring more self-defense items.

Otherwise, if they are not careful, they might be left in the Eternal Night Valley by those monsters and never be able to get out.

After leaving the sect, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang came to a nearby market where immortal cultivators gathered.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang wandered around the market town. What they needed were not only items for self-defense, but also special magical weapons that could help them explore the Eternal Night Valley in depth.

The market town was bustling with people, and the various stalls were filled with a wide variety of items for cultivating immortality, from elixirs to rare treasures.

"Qingshuang, look at this." Luo Chen pointed to a string of bells on a stall. The bells were engraved with complex runes and emitted a faint spiritual light.

Qingshuang took a closer look and nodded, "This string of bells is called 'Spiritual Sound Bells'. It is said to be able to dispel evil spirits. Perhaps it will come in handy in the Evernight Valley."

The stall owner was a shrewd middle-aged man. Seeing that Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were interested in the bell, he introduced it enthusiastically: "My two immortal friends have good taste. I got this Lingyin Bell from a master. Using it to travel at night can avoid many unnecessary troubles."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, bargained with the stall owner, and finally bought the Lingyin Bell at a reasonable price.

They continued to search the market for items that might be useful.

"Luo Chen, look at this." Qing Shuang found an old map on a stall in a corner. There were some strange symbols marked on the map. (End of this chapter)
