Chapter 724 The true path to immortality!
The two of them rode the blood-red spirit horses given to them by the alien race and silently moved forward in a certain direction.
"What's this?"
Luochen saw a stone with writing on it, so he stepped forward.
Luo Chen knelt down and observed the stone carefully.
There were some ancient words carved on the stone. These words seemed to contain some mysterious power, which made him feel an inexplicable attraction.
Qingshuang also came closer, and she said softly: "This seems to be an ancient text. I have seen similar symbols in Master's collection of books."
Luochen nodded, took out a piece of paper and a pen from his arms, and began to carefully copy down the words on the stone.
He knew that these words might hide important information, perhaps related to the purpose of their trip.
After finishing copying, Luo Chen carefully put away the paper, and then said to Qing Shuang: "Let's go back first and find someone to interpret these words."
The two of them mounted the blood-red spirit horses and sped up, heading towards the nearest town.
They know that time is running out and peace on the border has just been guaranteed, but new challenges may come at any time.
After arriving in the town, Luochen and Qingshuang found a scholar who specialized in ancient literature.
After seeing the words on the paper, the scholar frowned. After pondering for a moment, he said, "These words probably refer to a small house hidden in a distant red maple forest. A man once lived in the house." Immortal cultivators, no one knows whether this is true or not.”
When Luo Chen heard this, he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
Red maple forest?
What is this place?
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, filled with doubts and curiosity.
Red Maple Forest is a strange name to them, but the legend of the immortal cultivator stirred up waves in their hearts.
"Where is the red maple forest?" Qingshuang asked.
The scholar smiled slightly and pointed to an area on the map: "It's about a hundred miles away from here, but you have to be careful. Legend has it that there are all kinds of strange creatures and dangerous traps in the red maple forest."
Luochen nodded, thanked the scholar for his help, and then left the town with Qingshuang.
They rode blood-red spiritual horses and galloped towards the red maple forest.
Along the way, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang talked about various legends about immortal cultivators. It is said that immortal cultivators can master powerful powers and even become immortal.
If the words on the stone really point to the residence of a cultivator, then they may be able to find some precious cultivation secrets or powerful magic weapons.
After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the red maple forest.
The red leaves in the forest are like fire, the scenery is magnificent, but there is a mysterious atmosphere in the air.
Luochen and Qingshuang cautiously went deep into the forest, alert to possible dangers around them.
Soon, they discovered a secret path that seemed to lead deep into the woods.
The two walked along the path and finally saw a dilapidated hut in an open area.
There is an ancient and mysterious atmosphere surrounding the hut, as if there are endless secrets hidden.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, their hearts filled with anticipation and nervousness.
They carefully opened the door of the cabin, and a gust of stale air hit their faces.
The room was full of dust, but some ancient books and magic weapons could be vaguely seen.
The two began to search carefully in the house, hoping to find some useful clues.
Suddenly, Luochen found a yellowed ancient book among a pile of books.
He carefully opened the pages of the book and found that it contained many secrets and experiences about cultivating immortals.
Qingshuang came over and the two of them read the contents of the ancient book together.
As the reading progresses, they gradually understand the true meaning of being a cultivator and how to reach a higher realm through cultivation.
However, just as they were immersed in the world of ancient books, a strange sound suddenly came from outside the house.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood up quickly, clenched their weapons, and looked at the door warily.
The door slowly opened, and a figure appeared at the door.
It was a white-haired old man, with wisdom shining in his eyes.
The old man looked at Luo Chen and Qing Shuang with a smile, as if he had anticipated their arrival.
"Welcome, young immortal cultivators." The old man's voice was gentle but powerful: "I am the owner of this hut, and I am also the immortal cultivator you are looking for."
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, their hearts filled with surprise and respect.
They knew that this trip to the red maple forest might completely change their destiny.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Senior, we found these clues accidentally and found this place. If there is any disturbance, please forgive me."
The old man smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it's fate that you are here. I think you two have pure hearts and extraordinary qualifications. Maybe you are the right person to cultivate on the road to immortality."
When Luo Chen and Qing Shuang heard this, a warm current surged in their hearts, and at the same time they became more determined to cultivate immortality.
The old man continued: "The road to cultivating immortality is long and difficult. It requires firm belief and unremitting efforts. I have some basic cultivation methods and elixirs here that may be of help to you."
As he spoke, the old man took out several volumes of ancient books and several small jade bottles from his sleeves, and handed them to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.
Luo Chen took the ancient book and saw that it contained detailed records of mental cultivation, martial arts and alchemy techniques. The jade bottle in Qingshuang's hand exuded a faint medicinal fragrance and was obviously a precious elixir.
The two were grateful and saluted the old man again to express their gratitude.
The old man stroked his beard gently and said with a smile: "You're welcome. If you can achieve something on the road of cultivating immortality, it will be the best reward for me. Remember, cultivating immortality is not only a process of pursuing power, but also a journey of cultivating the mind and character. I hope you can stick to your true intentions and not be deceived by the world.”
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang nodded solemnly, bearing the old man's words in mind.
...
Soon after, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also left.
They were also a little curious about what they saw this time.
Shouldn't those powerful immortal cultivators be detached from the world and regard all things as ants?
Why is that immortal cultivator so easy to talk to?
It's really strange.
However, the two didn't think about it for long.
Now that the opportunity has been obtained, it is natural for the two of them to leave this red maple forest.
"Let's go."
Luo Chen said softly, and Qingshuang nodded in agreement. They know that the road to immortality is long and full of unknowns. The most important thing now is to seize the opportunity in front of them and make good use of the cultivation methods and elixirs given by the old man.
The two rode on the blood-red spirit horses and slowly left the red maple forest along the path they came from.
Along the way, they discussed how to start practicing and how to make use of these precious resources.
Both Luo Chen and Qing Shuang understand that with these foundations, they will have a higher starting point than other immortal cultivators.
It was getting late when they returned to town.
They decided to rest in the town for one night before continuing their journey the next day.
In a simple inn, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to sort out the ancient books and elixirs given by the old man, preparing to start their career in cultivating immortals.
Late at night, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang each sat beside the bed and began to try to practice according to the instructions in the ancient books.
They know that this will be a long and difficult process, but their hearts are full of hope and expectation.
They believe that as long as they persevere, one day they can become formidable immortal cultivators.
As the practice began, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gradually felt the subtle changes in their bodies.
They adjusted their breath according to the breathing methods in ancient books. Every breath seemed to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, nourishing their bodies and souls.
At first, the change is not obvious; they just feel lighter and more focused.
But as their practice deepened, they began to notice a warm force flowing slowly within their bodies, which was the initial gathering of spiritual power in their meridians.
Whenever it was quiet at night, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang would sit opposite each other and share their cultivation experiences with each other.
They found that although the methods of cultivation were the same, each person's efficiency in absorbing and transforming spiritual power was different, which may be related to their physique, character and even past experiences.
In order to improve their cultivation level faster, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to try to combine cultivation with actual combat.
They used the martial arts secrets given by the old man to compete in the backyard of the inn, integrated the learned moves into actual combat, and constantly honed their fighting skills.
...
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
After getting roughly familiar with the immortal cultivation techniques.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang have finally entered the world of true immortality.
As a cultivator, I want to continuously improve my cultivation and realm.
They naturally want to go to the place where immortal cultivators gather.
"Qingshuang, come and take a look at this map."
In the room, Luo Chen took out a map that the old man had given to him. The map marked the place where many immortal cultivators gathered.
Among them, Lingfengshanfang City is the nearest one.
Qingshuang looked at the map carefully, her eyes shining with excitement.
"Lingfeng Shanfang City sounds like a lively place. We may be able to find more cultivation resources there," she said.
Luo Chen nodded in agreement, "Yes, there should be various items needed by immortal cultivators in the market, including spiritual herbs, magic weapons, talismans, etc. We have to plan carefully to ensure that we have enough spiritual stones or other items. to exchange for what we need.”
The two began to discuss their plan to go to Lingfengshanfang City.
They know that as newcomers to the world of immortality, they need to be extra careful, because the market is not only full of opportunities, but also full of unknown dangers.
"We have to first find out the rules of the city, as well as which places are safe and which places need to be avoided." Qingshuang reminded.
Luo Chen nodded in agreement, "Besides, we have to prepare some self-defense weapons, just in case."
"There are many people in the city and we cannot take it lightly."
After careful preparations, Luochen and Qingshuang decided to set off for Lingfeng Shanfang City early the next morning.
The next morning, as soon as the sky turned white, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were ready to go.
They carefully wrapped the ancient books and elixirs given by the old man and hid them in personal storage bags to ensure that they were safe during the journey.
The two of them rode on blood-red spiritual horses. The sound of horse hooves sounded particularly clear in the tranquility of the early morning. They galloped towards the direction of Lingfeng Shanfang City.
As we get further and further away from the town, the surrounding scenery gradually becomes more desolate.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang had no time to care about these things. Their hearts were full of yearning for the unknown world and longing for the road of cultivation.
Along the way, they exchanged their cultivation experiences with each other, and occasionally exchanged ideas to test each other's progress.
After several days of running around, Lingfeng Mountain finally appeared in their sight.
The mountain peaks towered into the clouds, and the mountainside was shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, and they could see a hint of excitement and nervousness in each other's eyes.
They knew that the next journey would be full of challenges, but also full of opportunities.
The market is located halfway up the Lingfeng Mountain, and a winding mountain road leads there.
As they got closer to the market, more and more pedestrians appeared on the road.
Some of these pedestrians wore gorgeous robes, while others wore simple Taoist robes, but without exception, everyone exuded an extraordinary aura.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the blood-red spirit horse and carefully merged into the flow of people.
According to the plan, they first came to the entrance of the market, where there was a huge stone tablet with the rules and precautions of the market engraved on it.
The two read it carefully to ensure that they would not violate any taboos due to ignorance.
After entering the market, they found that it was more lively than they imagined.
The streets were lined with various stalls, some selling spiritual herbs and minerals, and some selling various magic tools and talismans.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang browsed and looked for the items they needed.
"Luo Chen, look at this!" Qing Shuang suddenly pointed to the jade slip on a stall and said.
Luo Chen walked up and picked up the jade slip to examine it carefully.
This is a set of advanced swordsmanship called "Spiritual Wind Sword Art", which is very helpful for improving their fighting skills.
After some bargaining, the two finally bought the jade slip at a reasonable price.
Continuing forward, they found another stall selling spiritual beasts.
There was a little fox with snow-white fur on the stall, which looked very cute.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and saw the love in each other's eyes.
After some inquiries, they learned that this little fox was a rare spiritual beast named Snow Spirit Fox, which could not only assist in cultivation, but also warn in dangerous moments.
"Senior, we want this Snow Spirit Fox." Luo Chen said to the stall owner.
The stall owner was a kind-looking old man. He smiled and nodded, and handed the Snow Spirit Fox to Luo Chen.
Luo Chen took the Snow Spirit Fox and felt its warm body temperature, and an inexplicable sense of intimacy surged in his heart.
As the sky gradually darkened, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gradually collected most of the items they needed.
They found a relatively quiet inn and prepared to spend the night here, while sorting out today's harvest.
When it was late at night, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang sat opposite each other again and began to practice.
