Chapter 724: Cultivator Li Heng?
They pressed the newly purchased "Ling Feng Sword Technique" Jade Slip to their foreheads, their Spiritual Sense immersed within, feeling the intricacies of the Swordsmanship.
The Snow Spirit Fox lay obediently beside them, occasionally letting out a soft chirp.
During cultivation, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt a cool aura circulating within them, which was the Spiritual Energy of the Snow Spirit Fox assisting them in absorbing the surrounding nature's spiritual energy better.
As the Spiritual Power continued to gather, their Cultivation also steadily improved.
Thus, day after day, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang continuously advanced on their journey as Immortal Cultivators.
About half a month later.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang emerged from their closed-door cultivation.
"Immortal cultivation, indeed, demands a lot."
"It's only been half a month, yet the cultivation resources have nearly been exhausted."
Luo Chen gazed at the bright moon outside the window, pondering his next plan.
They needed more resources, and though the Lingfeng Mountain workshop was rich in resources, the competition was also exceptionally fierce.
They had to find a new way to acquire more cultivation resources.
Qing Shuang, organizing their belongings beside him, softly said, "Luo Chen, perhaps we should consider exploring some Secret Realms or taking on tasks from the Cultivation Realm. This way, we can gain resources and increase our practical experience."
Luo Chen nodded, knowing Qing Shuang spoke the truth.
In the Cultivation Realm, many Secret Realms and tasks tested cultivators' strength, offering rich rewards as well.
"Alright, let's first check the workshop's bulletin board to see if there are any tasks suitable for us." Luo Chen stood up, patting the dust from his body.
The two arrived once more at the workshop's central plaza, where a gigantic bulletin board, covered with various tasks and information, stood.
They searched carefully and finally their gaze fell upon a particular task.
"Explore the Ancient Ruins and seek lost Spiritual Treasures." Luo Chen murmured the task's title, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
Qing Shuang leaned over to carefully read the detailed description of the task.
It turned out that the task required cultivators to venture to an ancient ruin to find a legendary Spiritual Treasure.
The reward for the task was exceptionally generous, enough to ensure they wouldn't worry about resources for some time.
"This task seems very suitable for us." Qing Shuang said.
Luo Chen nodded, but a trace of unease lingered in his heart. Ancient Ruins often hid unknown dangers, and they knew nothing about the environment there.
"We must be fully prepared," Luo Chen said solemnly, "First, let's gather some intelligence about that ruin, then we can make plans."
In the following days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to inquire about information regarding the Ancient Ruins.
They found some cultivators who had previously explored the area and learned some basic information and potential dangers about the ruins from them.
After thorough preparation, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang decided to set off for the Ancient Ruins.
Riding their blood-red Spiritual Horse, they followed a hidden path towards the ruins.
After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the entrance of the ruin.
A dense fog shrouded the area as if concealing endless secrets.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged glances, seeing the determined belief in each other's eyes.
They knew this exploration would be a significant test on their path as Immortal Cultivators.
Cautiously, they traversed the mist and entered the ruins.
Within the ruins, a complex labyrinth of ancient mechanisms and traps sprawled out.
Relying on their outstanding intelligence and seamless teamwork, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang managed to unravel all these puzzles.
During their exploration, they encountered other cultivators, some seeking fortune, others harboring ill intentions.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang remained constantly vigilant to guard against surprise attacks from others.
Finally, after delving deep into the ruins, they discovered a Spiritual Treasure emitting a faint glow.
This Spiritual Treasure was an ancient Magic Artifact, covered with intricate runes, radiating powerful Spiritual Power fluctuations.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were overjoyed, knowing that the value of this Spiritual Treasure was immeasurable.
Yet, just as they were about to collect the Spiritual Treasure, a figure suddenly dashed out from the shadows; it was a cultivator they had seen earlier at the workshop.
This person was named Li Heng.
His character was extremely treacherous.
Li Heng's eyes were filled with greed, and a cold smile curved at the corner of his mouth, clearly intent on claiming the Spiritual Treasure from Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.
"You two are truly fortunate, but such a treasure, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep." His words carried a blatant threat.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang swiftly stood back to back, glaring vigilantly at Li Heng, fully aware they couldn't afford to let their guard down now.
Qing Shuang whispered to Luo Chen, "Luo Chen, let's join forces against him. Alone, he may not be able to handle us."
Luo Chen nodded, Spiritual Power surging within him, preparing for the impending battle.
He knew well that in the Cultivation Realm, strength and wisdom were equally crucial, and at this moment, they needed not just strength, but also coordination and trust.
Seeing this, Li Heng spoke no further, his figure moving like a ghost to attack the duo.
The Magic Artifact in his hand gleamed with a ghostly green light, evidently an extraordinary item.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately launched their offensive, Sword Light and Spell intertwining, filling the entire ruins with the atmosphere of a fierce battle.
In the midst of the battle, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang executed their "Ling Feng Sword Technique" flawlessly, their Swordsmanship agile and ethereal, seeming to command the power of the wind, repeatedly thwarting Li Heng's assaults.
