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

Luo Chen opened his eyes and looked where Qingshuang was pointing. A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"If we can master this method, our strength will be further improved." Luo Chen said.

The two began to practice according to the methods in the secret book. As time went on, they felt the power of fire in their bodies becoming stronger and stronger.

However, just as they were immersed in their cultivation, there was a sudden movement outside the valley.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately stopped practicing. They stood up and looked towards the entrance of the valley vigilantly.

"What's going on this time?" Luo Chen asked in a low voice, his hand tightly gripping the Blood Blade, ready to deal with any possible threats at any time.

Qing Shuang shook her head, a hint of vigilance flashed in her eyes: "I don't know, but I feel that they are not friendly."

The two men cautiously approached the entrance of the valley, hid behind a huge rock, and observed the situation outside.

I saw a group of immortal cultivators slowly walking towards the valley, they seemed to be looking for something.

"It seems that they are not coming for us." Luo Chen said softly, but there was still a hint of nervousness in his tone.

Qing Shuang nodded: "Maybe, but no matter what, we can't take it lightly."

Just as they were about to retreat back into the depths of the valley, an immortal cultivator seemed to have noticed their presence. He suddenly stopped and looked sharply at the boulder where Luo Chen and Qingshuang were hiding.

"There seems to be someone over there!" the immortal cultivator shouted loudly, and then his companions around him drew out their magic weapons and looked vigilantly in the direction of Luo Chen and Qingshuang.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew that they had to make a choice now.

Either fight or retreat.

"We can't let them discover the Secret Book of Fire." Luo Chen said in a low voice, with a flash of determination in his eyes.

Qingshuang nodded, she knew what Luo Chen meant.

The two of them quickly cast a stealth spell, and their figures gradually became blurred and blended into the surrounding environment.

It's just a pity.
This time it seems that Luo Chen and Qing Shuang cannot leave as they wish.

Among that group of immortal cultivators, there seemed to be someone who could see through concealment.

"They discovered us!" There was a hint of nervousness in Qingshuang's voice.

Luo Chen tightly grasped the Blood Blade, his eyes determined: "Then let's fight!"

The immortal cultivators quickly gathered around and surrounded Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

A cultivator who seemed to be the leader walked forward, his eyes full of greed and vigilance.

"Hand over everything you have!" ordered the leading cultivator.

Luo Chen sneered: "If you want our things, then it depends on whether you have the ability to do it."

Qingshuang remained silent, she had already prepared her spells and was ready to cast them at any time.

Seeing this, the leading cultivator's face darkened. He waved the magic weapon in his hand, and a golden light rushed straight towards Luo Chen.

Luo Chen dodged the attack with a flash, and at the same time, the Blood Blade drew a bloody arc in the air and counterattacked.

"Be careful of his bloody blade!" a cultivator warned.

Qingshuang took the opportunity to use her invisibility spell, trying to make the two disappear again.

However, this time, an old man among the cultivators seemed to know something about the concealment spell. He muttered something, and the magic weapon in his hand emitted a ray of light, revealing the figures of Luo Chen and Qingshuang again.

"Humph, still want to escape?" the old man sneered.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that they had no way out.

The two stood back to back, ready for the upcoming battle.

"Luo Chen, what should we do?" Qingshuang asked in a low voice.

"We have no choice but to fight!" Luo Chen replied, with a gleam of determination in his eyes.

The battle was about to break out, Luo Chen wielded the Blood Blade, and Qingshuang cast various powerful spells.

Fire, ice, and lightning intertwined, and the valley was filled with the roar of battle.

Although there are many cultivators, the strength of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang should not be underestimated.

Relying on their tacit cooperation and powerful spells, they fought the immortal cultivators to a standstill for a while.

However, as time went on, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gradually felt overwhelmed.

Their spiritual energy was consumed greatly, while the cultivators seemed to have some energy left.

"This is not a solution. We must find a breakthrough." Luo Chen said breathlessly.

Qingshuang nodded, and she began to concentrate and prepare to cast a powerful spell.

"Watch me!" Qingshuang shouted, and formed seals with his hands. A huge wall of ice rose from the ground, trapping some cultivators inside.

Seeing this, Luo Chen immediately seized the opportunity, and the Blood Blade once again burst out with dazzling red light, rushing straight towards the trapped cultivator.

The trapped cultivators were horrified. They tried to break the ice wall, but Qingshuang's magic was extremely powerful and it was difficult to break through for a while.

"Hurry up, let's go!" Luo Chen said to Qingshuang.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the two men quickly rushed out of the valley.

Although the immortal cultivators were angry, they were unable to pursue for a while due to Qingshuang's ice wall spell.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang finally broke out of the encirclement. They did not dare to stop and continued to run towards the depths of the secret realm.

"We can't stop, they will catch up soon." Luo Chen said as he ran.

Qingshuang nodded, she knew Luo Chen was right.

The two continued to flee at high speed, looking for the next hiding place.

After some effort, they finally found a hidden cave.

The cave is deep and quiet, and seems to be a good hiding place.

"Let's rest here for a while." Luo Chen said, with a hint of fatigue in his voice.

Qingshuang nodded, and she began to set up a defensive formation at the entrance of the cave to prevent the cultivators from tracking her down.

Luo Chen sat down deep in the cave and began to recover his consumed spiritual energy.

He closed his eyes and felt the strength in his body slowly returning.

Time passed slowly, and Luo Chen and Qingshuang spent several days in the cave.

They used this time to continue practicing the spells in the secret book, and their strength was further improved.

However, it seems that time passes.

The strength in their bodies seems to be insufficient.

The recovery of physical strength gradually exceeds the consumption.

Although the Secret Book of Fire is precious, it cannot solve their real problems of hunger and depletion of spiritual power.

"We have to get something to eat, and it's best if it's food that contains spiritual power." Luo Chen said with a frown. He knew clearly that without sufficient spiritual power support, they would not be able to continue practicing, let alone deal with the dangers that might arise at any time.

Qingshuang nodded, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes: "But, the secret realm is full of dangers, where can we find such food?"

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then said: "I remember before entering the secret realm, I heard someone mention that there is a spiritual medicine garden deep in the secret realm, where all kinds of rare spiritual herbs and fruits grow. Maybe we can try our luck there."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Qingshuang's eyes: "Then we have to be careful, there must be other cultivators guarding the Spiritual Medicine Garden."

"Yes, but we have no choice." Luo Chen said firmly, "We must be fully prepared and try to avoid unnecessary battles." The two decided to set out after nightfall, using the cover of night to quietly head to the spiritual medicine garden.

They knew that night was when cultivators were least alert, and it was also the best time for them to act.

As night fell, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang quietly left the cave. They carefully avoided the immortal cultivators who were searching everywhere in the secret realm and headed towards the spiritual medicine garden.

Along the way, they used Qingshuang's concealment spell to successfully avoid several potential dangers.

After several hours of trekking, they finally arrived at the outskirts of the spiritual medicine garden.

Just as Luo Chen said, all kinds of rare spiritual herbs and fruits grow here, emitting faint fluctuations of spiritual energy.

"We have to be careful. The fluctuations in spiritual power here may very likely attract other cultivators." Qingshuang reminded in a low voice.

Luo Chen nodded, and he took out a small jade bottle from his arms, which contained a special medicine powder: "This is the Ecstasy powder I prepared earlier. It can temporarily confuse the mind of the cultivator. We have to use it to cover our actions."

The two approached the spiritual medicine garden cautiously, and Luo Chen sprinkled the medicinal powder at the entrance of the spiritual medicine garden.

After a while, several guarding cultivators were attracted by the aroma of the medicinal powder and fell into a brief state of confusion.

"Hurry, let's go in!" Luo Chen said in a low voice.

They quickly passed through the entrance and entered the spiritual medicine garden.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang began to select those spiritual herbs and fruits that contained powerful spiritual power, picking them carefully, trying not to destroy their growth.

"These spiritual herbs and fruits are enough for us to restore our spiritual power." Qingshuang said softly, with a hint of joy in her eyes.

"Yes, but we can't be greedy. Picking a few is enough." Luo Chen reminded.

Just as they were about to leave, suddenly, a slight sound of footsteps was heard from the depths of the spiritual medicine garden.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately became alert, they knew that perhaps some immortal cultivators had discovered their tracks.

"Hurry, we have to find a place to hide." Luo Chen whispered.

They quickly hid in a dense bush of spiritual grass, held their breath, and quietly observed the situation around them.

After a while, a cultivator appeared in their sight.

This cultivator looks very young, but his eyes reveal a sense of sophistication and sharpness.

"Strange, I clearly felt the presence of someone." The young cultivator muttered to himself, his eyes scanning the surroundings as if looking for something.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other nervously. They knew that if they were discovered, it would be difficult for them to escape.

The young cultivator searched everywhere in the spiritual medicine garden, but seemed not to have found where Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were hiding.

After a while, he shook his head, seemed to give up the search, and turned to leave the spiritual medicine garden.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that now was the best time to leave.

"Let's go." Luo Chen said in a low voice.

The two of them quickly left the spiritual medicine garden and returned to the cave they had found earlier, carrying the spiritual herbs and fruits they had picked.

After returning to the cave, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to use the spiritual herbs and fruits they picked to restore their spiritual power.

They know that only by staying in the best condition can they deal with whatever may happen next.

In the following days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang practiced while carefully exploring the secret realm in search of more resources.

After all, spiritual herbs and fruits have no roots.

If you consume it for a long time, it will always be finished.

Therefore, Luo Chen had to find a place that could continuously produce food containing spiritual power.

And just when Luo Chen went out to look for something.

Suddenly, he mistakenly entered a valley.

There seems to be a mysterious pool of water in the valley.

In the pond, there are mysterious and unknown fish swimming around.

Luo Chen stood by the pond, gazing at the crystal clear water.

In the pond, the ripples created by the swimming fish sparkled with a strange luster in the sun, as if every fish contained extraordinary spiritual power.

An idea came to his mind: if they could catch these fish, perhaps they could solve their long-term spiritual food problem.

He looked around and found that in addition to the pond, there were also some plants he had never seen before growing in the valley. They emitted faint fluctuations of spiritual power and were obviously rare spiritual herbs.

Luo Chen was secretly delighted, this was truly an unexpected gain.

But how to catch those spiritual fish.

This is a huge problem.

It is naturally impossible to just jump down and rely on your own hands.

Not only will you fail to catch the fish, but you will also scare the fish away.

And if so, make a fishing rod.

Then, hang some food on the fishing rod to lure the spirit fish.

This seems to be a good idea.

"That's it!"

Luo Chen decided to make a fishing rod.

He began to search the valley for suitable materials and eventually found a tough branch and some slender vines.

He used branches as the body of the fishing rod and vines for the fishing line.

While searching for bait, Luo Chen discovered a plant called "spiritual herb", the fragrance of which seemed to be extremely attractive to spirit fish.

He carefully smeared the juice of angelica on the fishhook and then lowered the fishing rod into the pool.

After a while, the spirit fish in the pond began to be attracted and swam around the fishhook.

Luo Chen held his breath and waited patiently for the best opportunity. Finally, a larger spirit fish bit the hook.

Luo Chen quickly lifted the rod and pulled the spirit fish out of the water.

After successfully catching the first spirit fish, Luo Chen’s confidence increased greatly.

He continued to use the same method and caught several spirit fish in succession.

As the sun gradually set, Luo Chen decided to call it a day and return to the cave.

He carefully placed the captured spirit fish in a basket woven with vines and returned along the same path he came.

After returning to the cave, Luo Chen handed the spirit fish to Qingshuang.

Qingshuang used spiritual herbs and fruits to remove the fishy smell from the spiritual fish, and then cooked it with a special flame from the secret realm.

The scent of the spirit fish soon filled the entire cave, and both of them felt hungry.

"This fragrance is really tempting." Luo Chen said with a smile.

Qing Shuang nodded, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes: "With these spiritual fish, at least we don't have to worry about the problem of spiritual food."

The two began to enjoy the sumptuous dinner.

The spiritual fish not only tasted delicious, but also contained rich spiritual power, which their bodies quickly absorbed and their spiritual power was significantly restored. (End of this chapter)
