So, she turned to ask: "Then what should we do now? The marks on this map are so vague, how can we find the location of the treasure?"

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Perhaps, we can ask the monk in black for help. He is well-informed and may be able to recognize some of the marks on this map."

Hearing this, Qingshuang also thought this was a good idea.

Therefore, the two decided to immediately go to the black monk's residence and seek his help.

When they arrived at the black monk's residence, they found that he was no longer in the house.

Just when the two of them were feeling disappointed, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in their ears: "What's the matter with you coming to me?"

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang turned around and saw the monk in black standing behind them at some point, looking at them with a smile.

"We do have something to ask you for help." Luo Chen quickly stepped forward and handed the map in his hand to the monk in black, "This is a map we bought in Fang City. It is said that there is a map hidden on it. Treasure, but the marks on the map are too vague and we cannot determine the specific location of the treasure, so I would like to ask your help to see if there is anything special about this map.”

The monk in black took the map and looked at it carefully for a moment, his brows gradually furrowed.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "This map is indeed a bit strange. The marks on it do not seem to be ordinary geographical coordinates, but some special symbols. I have seen these symbols in ancient books, and they seem to be related to ancient formations. ”

"Array?" Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were both stunned when they heard this.

"Yes, it's the formation." The monk in black nodded, "These symbols form a complex formation diagram, and the treasure is probably hidden in this formation, but if you want to crack this formation, and Not an easy task.”

"Then what should we do?" Qingshuang asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, let me think of a solution." The black-clothed monk said, closing his eyes and falling into deep thought.

After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, with a flash of light in his eyes: "I thought of a way. We can try to use some special tools to help us crack this formation, such as a kind of weapon called 'Xunlong Ruler' The magic weapon can sense the breath and energy fluctuations hidden in the ground, thereby helping us find the location of the treasure.”

"Xunlong Ruler?" Luo Chen and Qing Shuang heard this name for the first time.

"Yes, the Xunlong Ruler is a very ancient magic weapon. Only a few monks with advanced cultivation can refine it. However, I heard that at an auction in Fang City, a Xunlong Ruler was once auctioned. "We can try our luck there and see if we can buy it."

When Luo Chen and Qing Shuang heard this, they both became energetic.

They immediately decided to go to the auction to look for the legendary Dragon-Seeking Ruler.

After some twists and turns, they finally arrived at the auction site.

At this time, the auction had reached its climax, and various rare instruments and materials were on display in turn, attracting bidding from the monks present.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang shuttled among the crowd, looking for the whereabouts of the Dragon-Seeking Ruler.

Finally, at the final stage of the auction, a magic weapon exuding a faint spiritual light was presented to everyone.

"Everyone, this is the finale treasure of today's auction - the Dragon-Seeking Ruler!" the auctioneer announced loudly, "This ruler can sense the breath and energy fluctuations hidden underground. It is an excellent tool for finding treasures and mineral veins. Starting price Ten thousand spiritual stones!”

As the auctioneer finished speaking, the monks in the audience began to bid.

The price soon climbed to tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and saw the determination in the other's eyes.

They knew that this dragon-hunting ruler was crucial to them.

So, they joined the bidding process without hesitation.

After some fierce bidding, they finally succeeded in bidding for the Dragon-Seeking Ruler at a high price of 50,000 spirit stones.

The moment they got the Dragon-Seeking Ruler, both Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt extremely excited and excited.

They knew that with the help of this magic weapon, they would soon be able to find the treasure on the map.

They couldn't wait to return to the black-clothed monk's residence and handed him the Dragon-Seeking Ruler.

The monk in black took the Xunlong Ruler and looked at it carefully, with a trace of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, this is indeed a real dragon-seeking ruler." He said with a smile, "With it, we will be able to find the treasure more easily."

When Luo Chen and Qing Shuang heard this, they both became energetic.

They knew that the next task was to combine the dragon-seeking ruler with the marks on the map to find the specific location of the treasure.

The black monk began to arrange it in the courtyard. He used his knowledge of formations to draw a complex pattern in the courtyard and placed the dragon-seeking ruler in the center of the pattern.

As he used the magic technique in his hand, the Xunlong Ruler began to glow faintly, as if it had some strange connection with the surrounding space.

Luochen and Qingshuang watched all this with bated breath. They knew that this was the critical moment to find the treasure.

After a moment, the light of the Xunlong Ruler suddenly became stronger. It began to rotate slowly and pointed in a direction outside the courtyard.

Upon seeing this, the black-clothed monk immediately put away his magic formula and stood up.

"Found it!" he said excitedly, "The dragon-seeking ruler has pointed out the general direction of the treasure. We only need to continue searching along this direction, and we will definitely be able to find the treasure."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were both excited when they heard this.

They immediately followed the instructions of the monk in black and set off in the direction pointed by the dragon-seeking ruler.

Along the way, they passed through dense forests, crossed mountains and rivers, and experienced countless difficulties and obstacles.

However, with their firm belief and unremitting efforts, they finally came to a hidden valley.

In this valley, they discovered an ancient cave.

The entrance to the cave was covered by dense vines, as if no one had been there for a long time.

However, when they walked into the cave, they found that there was another cave inside.

The cave is filled with all kinds of strange runes and patterns, and the air is filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

They knew that this was where the treasure they had been looking for was located.

As they go deeper into the cave, they discover more and more treasure.

There are precious spiritual stones, rare herbs, as well as various ancient magic weapons and secret books.

Every treasure exudes an alluring light that dazzles them.

However, they did not forget their original intention.

They knew that although these treasures were precious, they were not the real purpose of their trip.

They continued deep into the cave, looking for the legendary treasure.

Finally, in the deepest part of the cave, they found a radiant treasure box.

This treasure box is made of pure gold and is inlaid with various gems and runes. It looks extremely gorgeous.

They knew that this treasure box was the treasure they had been looking for.

They carefully opened the treasure box and saw an ancient secret book and a pill exuding powerful spiritual power lying quietly inside.

The secret book records a long-lost cultivation method, which is said to be able to greatly increase a person's cultivation level in a short period of time.

The elixir is a magical elixir that can cleanse the physical body and condense spiritual energy, and is of immeasurable value to practitioners.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and saw the excitement and joy in each other's eyes.

They know that although this treasure hunting journey is full of hardships and dangers, the ultimate reward is extremely rich.

“I really didn’t expect that the harvest this time would be so great.”

Luo Chen sighed, his eyes wandering back and forth between the secret book and the elixir, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart.

This is not only because of the priceless value of these treasures, but also because of the possibility they represent, an opportunity to make rapid progress in one's cultivation and even change one's destiny.

Qingshuang also had a smile on her face. She gently touched the cover of the secret book and felt the ancient atmosphere flowing on it: "Yes, we are really lucky this time. With this secret book and the elixir, our practice will be improved." The road will be smoother.”

The monk in black stood aside, looking at the excitement of the two people, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He knew very well what these treasures meant to these two young people, and he also understood how much effort and sweat they had put in for this moment.

However, the three of them were not happy for long.

Not far away, there was suddenly a burst of hurried footsteps.

Moreover, what made Luo Chen feel a little solemn was his expression.

The footsteps were coming from the direction where they were.

And, getting closer.

"Trouble."

Luo Chen quickly put the secret book and elixir into his arms and looked warily towards the direction of the sound.

Qingshuang also immediately became alert, holding the sword tightly in her hand, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

The monk in black appeared calmer. He waved his sleeves gently, and the light in the cave dimmed instantly, as if he was isolated from the outside world.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, accompanied by low voices of conversation. It was obvious that there was more than one person coming.

Finally, several figures appeared at the entrance of the cave. With the faint light, Luo Chen saw their faces clearly. They were the monks who had previously competed with them for the Dragon-Seeking Ruler!

These monks obviously tracked their whereabouts and followed them all the way here.

The leading monk sneered and glanced at Luochen and the others: "Hmph, I didn't expect you to actually find this place, but since you have found the treasure for us, then hand over the treasure."

Luo Chen's heart sank, but he did not show the slightest panic.

He knew that since these monks dared to come, they must have someone to rely on.

Sure enough, as the leading monk finished speaking, several other monks also showed their magical weapons and surrounded the three of Luo Chen.

Seeing this, the monk in black raised a sneer on his lips.

He shook his head slightly, as if he didn't care about it.

"Do you think that these alone can defeat us?" He said lightly.

When the leading monk heard this, his face darkened: "Humph, stop pretending, we know you have some abilities, but do you think you can deal with so many of us at the same time?"

The monk in black smiled slightly and did not answer directly.

He waved his sleeves gently and saw that the air in the cave suddenly became distorted, as if there were countless air currents surging.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful wave of spiritual power erupted from the black-clothed monk's body, instantly shaking the surrounding monks back.

"What, this, this is..." The leading monk's face changed drastically and he shouted in horror.

The other monks were also shocked. They didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary black monk would be such a powerful warrior!

However, the black monk did not give up.

He flashed and appeared in front of the leading monk like a ghost. He pointed out with one finger, and a sharp sword energy instantly pierced the chest of the leading monk.

The leading monk didn't even have a chance to react, and fell directly to the ground, dying with his eyes open.

Seeing this, the other monks wanted to escape in horror.

But the speed of the black monk was too fast, and they couldn't escape at all.

In just a few breaths, the black monk killed all these monks in the cave.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were stunned. They didn't expect the strength of the black monk to be so terrifying.

The black monk withdrew his spiritual power and regained his calm appearance.

"Let's retreat quickly."

"If we continue to stay here, there might be other accidents."

Luo Chen took a deep breath, forced down the shock in his heart, and said to Qing Shuang.

He knew that although the black monk was powerful, this was an unknown cave after all, hiding too many unknowns and dangers.

They must leave as soon as possible to avoid more trouble.

Qing Shuang nodded, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

She clenched the sword in her hand, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.

The black monk seemed more calm.

He waved his sleeves lightly, and the light in the cave lit up again, as if nothing had happened.

"You are right, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time." The black monk said lightly, "However, before leaving, we need to do one more thing."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang heard this, and they couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

They didn't know what the "one thing" the black monk was talking about was, but since he proposed it, they naturally wouldn't ask more questions.

The black monk walked to the corpse of the leading monk and took out a token from his arms.

The token was pitch black, with complex runes and patterns engraved on it, emitting a faint spiritual light.

"This is their identity token." The black monk explained, "With it, we can know their identity and origin, as well as the forces behind them."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang suddenly realized.

They understood that the black monk was eliminating hidden dangers for them to ensure that they would not cause greater trouble because of the death of these monks.

"Thank you." Luo Chen said gratefully.

Qing Shuang also nodded and cast a grateful look at the black monk.
