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

It is said that deep in the back mountain of the town, there is a spiritual spring that can cleanse the soul and purify the body.

Every year, only a very few people with destiny can find it and bathe in it, thus gaining incredible power and insights.

Hearing this legend, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, their eyes flashing with excitement.

They knew that this might be one of their next goals for exploration.

So, after staying in the town for a few days, consolidating their cultivation, and inquiring more about the continent, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang set out on the journey again.

Following the guidance of the residents, they headed deep into the back mountain, their hearts full of curiosity and expectation for the unknown.

......

The back mountain of the town.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang walked side by side.

"Luo Chen, do you think we can find that spiritual spring?"

Qing Shuang asked a little nervously, with a flash of expectation in her eyes.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, his eyes full of determination and confidence: "As long as we have faith in our hearts, we will definitely find it. Besides, we have received the blessing of the gods. What else can we not do?"

Qingshuang nodded, and a warm current surged in her heart.

She knew that as long as Luo Chen was by her side, she would not be afraid no matter how difficult the road ahead was.

They continued to move forward, passing through dense forests and crossing rugged cliffs.

Along the way, they encountered all kinds of strange creatures, some friendly and some ferocious.

But no matter what they encountered, Luo Chen and Qingshuang responded with a peaceful heart and finally turned danger into safety.

Finally, on a sunny afternoon, they came to a quiet valley.

The valley was filled with a faint mist, and the air was filled with a fresh fragrance.

In the center of the valley, there was a clear spring with a faint spiritual light.

"This is the legendary spiritual spring!"

Qingshuang exclaimed in surprise.

Luo Chen's eyes flashed with excitement, and he nodded: "Yes, this is the place we are looking for."

They approached the spiritual spring and felt the mysterious power contained in it.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, their hearts full of expectations.

They knew that bathing in the spiritual spring this time would bring them unprecedented strength and insights.

So, they gently took off their clothes and slowly walked into the spiritual spring.

The spring water was warm and soft, as if washing their bodies and souls.

As they were baptized by the spiritual spring, they felt a powerful force surging in their bodies, as if the whole world was unfolding in front of them.

After the bath, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt refreshed and full of longing for the future.

"Let's go, Qing Shuang." Luo Chen said with a smile.

Qing Shuang nodded, his eyes full of determination: "Okay."

The two left the spiritual spring hand in hand, riding two ordinary horses, and walked aimlessly towards the front.

After all, things like experience always have to come slowly.

Don't rush, don't rush.

......

One month later.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang rode their horses and arrived outside an ancient city.

This ancient city is called Nanning City.

The area of ​​the ancient city is very large.

There was a queue at the city gate. There were countless people who wanted to enter the city, or those practitioners.

And the soldiers who were maintaining order at the city gate, as well as some practitioners from Nanning.

At this time, they seemed to be watching those who entered the city with a solemn and serious look.

I don’t know what these people are checking.

“We’re here.”

Luo Chen patted Qing Shuang’s shoulder gently and whispered: “It seems that this ancient city is a little unusual. We should be careful.”

Qing Shuang nodded, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes: “Well, I will pay attention.”

The two moved forward slowly with the team. Luo Chen’s eyes swept over the soldiers and practitioners at the city gate, trying to find some clues from them.

He noticed that when those soldiers checked the people entering the city, they paid special attention to the backs of their hands.

"Is there any special mark?" Luo Chen guessed secretly in his heart.

Finally it was their turn. A soldier came forward and said politely: "Please show the back of your hands."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and then stretched out the back of their hands. The soldier looked carefully, as if looking for some specific mark.

"Are you two practitioners from other places?" the soldier asked.

"Yes, we just came from other places." Luo Chen replied.

The soldier nodded and signaled that they could enter the city.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and walked into Nanning City with their horses.

The city was bustling with people, and shops lined the streets, and various hawking sounds came one after another.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the horses and walked slowly forward, observing the surrounding environment.

"It seems that this ancient city is heavily guarded. Something important must have happened."

Qing Shuang whispered.

Luo Chen nodded: "Let's find a place to settle down first, and then slowly ask for news."

They found an inn that looked quite clean, handed the horses to the waiter, and walked into the inn.

Luo Chen asked the shopkeeper and learned that some unusual things had indeed happened in Nanning City recently.

Every night, there would be sounds like ghosts crying in the city from time to time.

There were even some people who claimed that they had seen those so-called ghosts.

These are not the most terrifying things.

The most terrifying thing is that at the end of each night, there will always be a few people in the city who die inexplicably.

Even practitioners have died before.

This has caused the entire Nanning City to be shrouded in panic. Residents dare not go out easily at night, for fear of encountering accidents.

The practitioners in the city have also strengthened patrols, but they still cannot completely solve the problem. Those strange "ghosts" seem to appear out of thin air and disappear silently.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and understood in their hearts that this trip to Nanning City might be much more complicated than they expected.

They decided to stay temporarily, while recovering their strength, and investigating the matter in depth.

In the inn, the two sat by the window, with a few dishes and a pot of tea on the table.

Luo Chen took a sip of tea and frowned slightly: "Qingshuang, do you think this 'ghost' thing is true or false?"

Qingshuang pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I have never seen a real ghost, but there are indeed evil spirits in the cultivation world.

Perhaps, these 'ghosts' are not real ghosts, but some kind of evil magic or monsters."

Luo Chen nodded in agreement: "I also guessed that. Nanning City is so heavily guarded, obviously this matter is not trivial."

"We need to act carefully to avoid unnecessary trouble."

After discussing, the two decided to act separately.

Luo Chen went to the cultivator organization in the city to try to get more official information.

Qingshuang stayed in the inn and asked some folk rumors through the guests and waiters of the inn.

Luo Chen changed into a simple outfit and walked into the cultivator gathering place in Nanning City, Yunyin Pavilion.

Yunyin Pavilion is the largest cultivator organization in Nanning City, responsible for maintaining public security in the city and fighting against evil spirits.

After Luo Chen explained his purpose, he was led into a meeting room.

In the meeting room, several practitioners with extraordinary cultivation were sitting upright with solemn faces.

Luo Chen explained his identity and purpose, and a middle-aged practitioner slowly said: "The recent events in Nanning City are indeed a headache. We have sent many teams to investigate, but all have returned without success."

"Those 'ghosts' are mysterious, powerful, and seem to be on guard against the magic of practitioners."

Hearing this, Luo Chen thought secretly in his heart.

He proposed to check some records of the crime scene and ask if any practitioners were injured in the fight with the 'ghosts', perhaps some clues could be found from them.

The middle-aged practitioner pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, and arranged for a disciple to lead Luo Chen to the archives room.

In the archives room, Luo Chen carefully flipped through each case file, trying to find clues from it.

He found that all the crime scenes had a strange energy fluctuation, which was different from any known evil magic or monster.

What surprised him even more was that several injured practitioners, when describing the process of fighting with the "ghosts", mentioned that the other party seemed to be able to predict their movements and respond in advance.

Luo Chen's heart moved. This ability is definitely not something that ordinary evil spirits can possess.

He realized that the affairs of Nanning City might be far more complicated than they imagined.

At the same time, Qingshuang also found out a lot of useful information in the inn.

She found that the people in the city were terrified of the "ghosts", but there were also some rumors that these "ghosts" seemed to be related to an ancient altar in the city.

It is said that the altar was abandoned hundreds of years ago, but in recent years, strange phenomena have frequently appeared. Whenever strange phenomena occur, it is the time when "ghosts" appear.

Qingshuang told Luo Chen this information, and the two decided to go to the ancient altar to find out.

As night fell, Nanning City was shrouded in darkness.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang left the inn quietly and headed towards the direction of the ancient altar.

The altar is located in a dense forest outside the city, surrounded by tall trees, and looks particularly gloomy.

The two approached the altar cautiously, and saw a huge stone pillar erected in the center of the altar, which was engraved with ancient runes and emitted a faint light.

There were some broken stone statues and broken altar fragments scattered around, which looked particularly desolate.

Luo Chen looked around and suddenly felt an inexplicable chill.

He whispered to Qing Shuang: "The atmosphere here is very wrong, we have to be careful."

Qing Shuang nodded, and the two continued to move forward.

At this moment, a cold wind blew, and the runes on the altar suddenly lit up with a dazzling light, and a powerful energy wave emanated from the stone pillar.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, and at the same time offered magic weapons to prepare for emergencies. However, at this moment, a black shadow rushed out from the shadow of the altar and rushed straight towards the two!

The black shadow was extremely fast, like a ghost in the dark night, with a biting chill and unknown fear, attacking Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

Luo Chen reacted quickly, holding the long sword horizontally, with the tip of the sword pointed accurately at the black shadow, and a clear sword intent instantly spread, trying to force the unknown object back.

Qing Shuang's body lightly turned to the side, and at the same time, his wrist turned, and a slender soft sword was like a spirit snake coming out of a hole, winding around the black shadow, trying to restrain it.

However, the black shadow was extremely cunning. At the moment when the sword tip was about to touch, it suddenly dispersed, turning into countless tiny black mists and escaping in all directions.

These mists twisted and circled in the air, as if looking for a new target to attack, and seemed to be laughing at the futility of the two.

"What on earth is this thing?"

Luo Chen frowned. He had never seen such a strange enemy. It was neither a physical entity nor a pure spirit. It seemed to be somewhere in between the two and was elusive.

Qingshuang also looked solemn: "It seems that our guess is correct. These "ghosts" are indeed related to this ancient altar. They seem to be able to use the power of the altar to turn the virtual into the real, or turn the real into the virtual."

The two looked at each other and knew that the road ahead would be more difficult.

They must find a way to crack these "ghosts", otherwise the entire Nanning City will fall into endless darkness and panic.

Luo Chen looked around and his eyes fell on the huge stone pillar in the center of the altar.

The runes on the stone pillar looked particularly dazzling in the night, as if they contained some ancient and powerful power.

He was moved and guessed that these runes might be the key to controlling these "ghosts".

"Qingshuang, let's try to destroy these runes and see if we can cut off the connection between the "ghosts" and the altar."

Luo Chen suggested.

Qingshuang nodded in agreement, and the two quickly adjusted their states and prepared to deal with any possible changes.

Luo Chen swung his long sword, and the sword light cut through the night sky like a thread, directly taking the runes on the stone pillar.

Qingshuang used softness to overcome hardness, and the soft sword danced like a drizzle, constantly eroding the edges of the runes.

However, these runes seemed to have a powerful self-protection mechanism. Whenever Luo Chen and Qingshuang's attacks were about to touch, they would emit dazzling light and completely dissolve the offensive of the two.

What is more worrying is that with their attacks, the black mist around the altar seems to become thicker, as if more and more "ghosts" are being awakened.

"Not good, these runes seem to be summoning more "ghosts"!"

Qingshuang exclaimed.

Luo Chen's heart also tightened. He knew that he could not fight at this time and must find a way to crack it as soon as possible.

He carefully observed the runes on the stone pillar, trying to find a clue from them.

Suddenly, he noticed a subtle difference. Among the many complex runes, there was one rune that seemed different from the others. It emitted a faint blue light, which was out of tune with the surrounding red runes.

"Qingshuang, look at that rune!"

Luo Chen pointed at the unique rune on the stone pillar and said.

Qingshuang looked at it as Luo Chen instructed, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Could that be the key to controlling everything?"

The two of them no longer hesitated and focused all their energy to attack the blue rune.

This time, their offensive seemed to have found the right direction. The blue rune gradually dimmed under the combined efforts of the two, and finally lost its luster completely.

As the blue rune disappeared, the black mist around the altar began to dissipate rapidly, and those wandering "ghosts" seemed to have lost their source of power and turned into nothingness.
