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

The other two demon cultivators had already thought of retreating when they saw that the situation was not good. Now that their leader had fled, they were even more frightened and each of them used their own skills to transform into two black smokes and fled in different directions.

Luo Qingchen snorted coldly, then swung his sword in reverse and slashed out two sword energies, chasing after the two streams of black smoke.

what!what!
Two short screams were heard, and the two demon cultivators failed to escape and were killed by the chaotic sword energy. They fell from the air and turned into two charred corpses.

After dealing with the two demon cultivators, Luo Qingchen looked in the direction where the ghost-faced demon cultivator fled, frowning slightly. This person was quite powerful, and possessed the secret technique of blood escape. If he escaped today, it would probably be a problem in the future.

"Senior Brother Luo, are you okay?" Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan hurried over and asked with concern.

Luo Qingchen shook his head: "I'm fine. It's just a pity that the leader of the demons got away."

Su Xiaowan patted her chest with lingering fear: "Fortunately, Senior Brother Luo is so powerful, otherwise we would be in danger today. Those demon cultivators are so abominable!"

Lin Wan'er was relatively calm. She walked to the two corpses of the demon cultivators and searched them, but only found some low-level elixirs and a few low-grade spirit stones, and nothing valuable.

"It seems that these demon cultivators are also poor guys." Su Xiaowan curled her lips.

Luo Qingchen said: "We should not stay here for long. Although the ghost-faced demon cultivator has escaped, no one can say for sure whether he will come back or attract stronger accomplices. We must leave here as soon as possible and find a town to get information, so as to determine our current specific location and the route to Qingyun Mountains."

Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan naturally had no objection.

The three of them simply dealt with the battlefield, and then quickly left this troubled place, continuing to move southwest. However, after this incident, they were more vigilant. This unfamiliar area was obviously more complicated and dangerous than they had imagined.

In the following days, Luo Qingchen and his companions were more cautious. They tried to avoid the main roads and traveled through remote forests. They encountered several waves of blind monsters along the way, but they were all dealt with by Luo Qingchen.

As we continued to go deeper into the southwest, the landform gradually changed. The rolling mountains were gradually replaced by gentle hills and vast plains, and the spiritual energy in the air became relatively richer. Occasionally, we could see the light of other cultivators flying by on their magic tools in the sky.

That evening, the sun was setting and the sky was ablaze with brilliant sunset glow. The three of them climbed over a hill and saw a city of considerable size suddenly appearing on the plain in the distance.

The city was built on the mountain, with tall and majestic walls made of huge bluestones, covered with mottled traces of time. The city was lined with buildings, with vague shadows of people and smoke rising from cooking fires, a prosperous scene. Above the city gate, three large characters were written in a flamboyant style - "Luoxia City".

"Wow! What a big city!" Su Xiaowan's eyes lit up as she looked at the city in the distance. This was the first time they had seen a human settlement of this size since leaving Guixu.

Lin Wan'er's eyes also flashed with a hint of relief. The days of running around and being vigilant made them all a little tired. It would be good to find a place to rest temporarily.

Luo Qingchen looked at Luoxia City with a calm expression. He could feel that the auras of the cultivators in the city were mixed and numerous, and there were some with strong cultivation. This was both an opportunity and a challenge for him.

"Let's go into the city and take a look." Luo Qingchen said, "Perhaps we can find out some information about the Qingyun Mountains or other star map fragments here."

The three of them quickened their pace and arrived at the foot of Luoxia City before it became completely dark.

There were several city guards in uniform at the city gate, but they mainly targeted those who looked ferocious or suspicious. Luo Qingchen and the other two had extraordinary temperaments, the man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful. Although they looked dusty, they were not suspicious. They just paid a small entrance fee and entered the city smoothly.

As soon as you enter the city, you will be greeted by a bustling atmosphere. The wide streets are paved with bluestone slabs, and there are many shops on both sides, including restaurants, inns, medicine shops, magic weapon pavilions, talisman shops, etc. The streets are crowded with people, both ordinary people and monks, and the sounds of hawking, shouting, and bargaining are heard one after another, creating a prosperous scene.

Su Xiaowan was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. She found everything new and curious. She held Lin Wan'er's hand and looked around, chattering non-stop.

"Sister Wan'er, look at that candy man, he's shaped like a little tiger!"

"Wow, the jewelry over there is so beautiful! And that one, is it a magic weapon? It looks so powerful!"

Lin Wan'er was pulled by her, with a faint smile on her face, and responded from time to time.

Luo Qingchen was relatively calm, his eyes wandering around the shops on both sides of the street, looking for possible sources of useful information.

They first found an inn that looked clean and tidy to stay in. They asked for three upper rooms, one for Su Xiaowan and Lin Wan'er so that they could take care of Bai Ling'er, and one for Luo Qingchen alone.

After settling down, Luo Qingchen said to the two women: "I'm going to go out and get some information. You wait for me in the inn. Be careful and try not to go out and cause trouble."

"I know, Brother Luo, don't worry!" Su Xiaowan patted her chest and assured.

Lin Wan'er also nodded and said, "Senior Brother Luo, be careful."

After Luo Qingchen finished his instructions, he left the inn alone.

He first wandered around the city for a few times to familiarize himself with the environment. He discovered that Luoxia City was indeed a large gathering place for immortal cultivators. The largest forces in the city seemed to be the City Lord's Mansion and several local immortal cultivator families and sects.

Afterwards, he walked into a shop called "Bai Xiao Lou". This kind of shop usually makes a living by selling various intelligence information, and is very common in major immortal cultivation cities.

"What can I do for you, sir?" A smart and capable servant came forward.

Luo Qingchen got straight to the point: "I want to find out some information."

"No problem! What do you want to know? We in Baixiaolou are well-informed, from sect secrets to rumors. As long as you can afford the price, I guarantee you will be satisfied." The servant introduced skillfully.

Luo Qingchen pondered for a moment and said, "I want to know the news about Qingyun Mountain Range and Qingyun Sect."

The servant heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and said: "Sir, you have asked the right place. Although the Qingyun Mountains are far away from here, the Qingyun Sect is a major sect in the Eastern Region, and we in Baixiao Tower naturally have some records. But this news..." He rubbed his fingers, and the meaning was self-evident. Luo Qingchen remained calm and took out a small bag of low-grade spirit stones and handed it over: "Are these enough?"

The servant weighed the item and smiled even more: "That's enough! Sir, please wait a moment. I will go get the relevant jade slips."

A moment later, the servant returned with a jade slip and handed it to Luo Qingchen respectfully: "Sir, this is a brief introduction to the Qingyun Mountains and Qingyun Sect, as well as maps of several main routes to the Qingyun Mountains. For more detailed information, the price is..."

Luo Qingchen took the jade slip, probed into it with his spiritual sense, and quickly browsed through it. Although the information recorded in the jade slip was not particularly detailed, it also roughly outlined the location of the Qingyun Mountains and the reputation of the Qingyun Sect in the Eastern Region. It mentioned that the journey from Luoxia City to the Qingyun Mountains was extremely long, passing through several mortal kingdoms and dangerous monster mountains. Even for a Jindan cultivator, it would take several months or even half a year.

"Is there a faster way? Like a teleportation array?" Luo Qingchen asked.

The servant shook his head and said, "Sir, you are joking. How precious is the inter-domain teleportation array? How can my small Luoxia City possess it? Even if there is one, it is controlled by the top powers. The cost of activating it once is not something that ordinary cultivators can afford."

Luo Qingchen frowned slightly. It seemed that it was not possible to return to the sect directly through the teleportation array.

He then asked, "Is there any special place near Luoxia City, or have there been any rumors recently about star treasures, ancient ruins, etc.?" He wanted to try his luck and see if he could find more clues to the star map fragments.

The servant rolled his eyes and lowered his voice, "Sir, you've got the point. Speaking of special places, there's a place called 'Meteor Crater' three hundred miles east of our Luoxia City. It's said to be a huge pit formed by a falling star in ancient times. It's filled with chaotic star power all year round and is extremely dangerous, but people often find some strange stones and plants containing star power there."

"As for the rumors," the servant paused and said more mysteriously, "In three days, the 'Jubao Pavilion' in the west of the city will hold a large auction. It is said that among the treasures at the end, there is a rare medicine called 'Seven Star Grass'. This grass is extremely rare and needs to be grown in a place with rich starlight and absorb the essence of stars for 7749 years before it can mature. It has incredible effects on cultivators who practice star-related exercises or refine certain elixirs related to the power of stars. Now that the news has spread, many bigwigs are determined to get this thing!"

"Seven Star Grass?" Luo Qingchen's mind moved. Since this thing is related to the power of the stars, it may be helpful in activating the fragments of the star map, and even... it may be of some benefit to Bai Ling'er's condition.

"Thank you for the information." Luo Qingchen paid some more spirit stones and bought the information about the meteorite crater and the Seven-Star Grass before leaving Baixiao Tower.

After returning to the inn, Luo Qingchen informed Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan of the news he had obtained.

"Meteorite crater? Seven-star grass?" Su Xiaowan's eyes lit up when she heard it. "Brother Luo, should we go take a look? Maybe we can find something good!"

Lin Wan'er was calmer. "Since the meteorite crater is extremely dangerous, we should not take risks lightly. As for the Seven Star Grass... the auction is full of good and bad people, it may not be easy to get it."

Luo Qingchen pondered and said, "Wan'er is right. The matter of the meteorite crater is not urgent for now. We can go to the Treasure Pavilion to take a look at the Seven Star Grass. If this thing is really extraordinary, we will try to get it."

He had a hunch that this Seven-Star Grass might be an important turning point in their journey.

Just as they were discussing, the leaf of the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass between the eyebrows of Bai Ling'er, who had been lying quietly on the bed, suddenly flashed with golden light. Although it was only for a moment, it was caught by Lin Wan'er, who had been paying attention to her.

"Ling'er!" Lin Wan'er exclaimed in surprise.

Luo Qingchen and Su Xiaowan hurried over to check, but saw that Bailing'er still had her eyes closed and her breathing steady, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

"Wan'er, what's wrong?" Luo Qingchen asked.

Lin Wan'er said uncertainly, "Just now... I seemed to see the leaves of the Resurrection Grass between Ling'er's eyebrows glowing, just when we mentioned the Seven Star Grass."

Luo Qingchen and Su Xiaowan looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

Could it be that this Seven-Star Grass is really related to Bailing'er, or the dragon soul in her body?

This discovery made Luo Qingchen even more excited about the upcoming auction.

As the night deepened, the city of Luoxia was brightly lit and noisy. In the inn room, Luo Qingchen sat cross-legged, the power of chaos slowly flowing through his body. He could feel that as his understanding of the origin of chaos deepened and he practiced in this relatively abundant spiritual energy environment, his strength was steadily recovering and improving.

Outside the window, there is a bright moon hanging high in the sky, and twinkling stars are shining.

Luo Qingchen's gaze seemed to penetrate the roof and look at the boundless starry sky.

Qingyun Sect, Master, and those unresolved grudges... He clenched his fists, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, he must go back!

Three days later, in the west of Luoxia City, at Jubao Pavilion.

This attic is three stories high, with flying eaves and brackets, and is extraordinary. It occupies a large area in Luoxia City, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, which shows its financial strength and background. Today, due to a large auction, there is a busy flow of people in front of the door. Various monks, either driving magic tools or riding in gorgeous carriages pulled by monsters, have gathered here.

Luo Qingchen and the other two paid a hefty entrance fee, received a normal number plate, and followed the crowd into the auction hall. The hall was extremely spacious, enough to accommodate a thousand people, and it was already full at the moment. In front of them was a high auction platform, on which a middle-aged steward in a brocade robe and with a shrewd face was smiling and greeting familiar guests.

"Wow, there are so many people! It's like a market!" It was the first time that Su Xiaowan saw such a scene. She looked around curiously with her big eyes and whispered to Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er nodded slightly, her expression calm, but her eyes were observing the cultivators around her inconspicuously. She could sense that the people present had different levels of cultivation, including some juniors in the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages, as well as some powerful cultivators in the Golden Core stage. There were even a few obscure auras, which even made her feel a little pressured.

Luo Qingchen seemed much calmer. He found a relatively secluded corner and sat down, closing his eyes to rest, waiting for the auction to begin. He was not very interested in those ordinary treasures. He had a clear goal, which was to come only for the Seven Star Grass.

Soon, the auspicious time arrived. The brocade robe steward on the auction table cleared his throat and said loudly: "Dear Taoist friends, welcome to the monthly auction of Jubao Pavilion! Without further ado, here is the first item!" (End of this chapter)
