Chapter 788 Heading to Luojia Mountain
However, just as their lives were gradually getting back on track, the arrival of an uninvited guest broke the tranquility of the valley.
On this day, Luo Chen was concentrating on refining a magical weapon in the weapon refining room, while Qing Shuang was patrolling the valley.
Suddenly, a figure fell from the sky and landed at the entrance of the valley.
Qingshuang walked forward warily and saw an old man in gorgeous Taoist robes. There was a hint of extraordinary magnanimity in his eyes.
"May I ask who you are? Why did you break into our valley?" Qing Shuang said with a hint of caution in his tone.
The old man smiled slightly and said, "My name is Lin Xu. I heard that Master Luochen has extraordinary weapon refining skills, so I came here to visit you."
Qingshuang was shocked. She had heard of Lin Xu, a master of weapon refining who enjoyed a high reputation in the world of immortality.
She quickly welcomed Lin Xu into the valley and informed Luo Chen.
When Luochen learned that Lin Xu was visiting, he immediately put down his work and hurried to the living room.
He bowed respectfully to Lin Xu: "Junior Luo Chen, I have met senior Lin Xu."
Lin Xu waved his hand, indicating to Luo Chen that there was no need to be polite: "Master Luo Chen, I came here today to ask for something."
Luo Chen was confused, but he still replied politely: "Senior, please tell me, as long as this junior can do it, I will try my best."
Lin Xu nodded, took out an ancient sheepskin scroll from his arms, and handed it to Luo Chen: "This is a weapon refining blueprint from ancient times. I have been studying it for many years, but I have never been able to restore it. I heard that Master Luo Chen He has superb craftsmanship and came here to ask for help.”
Luochen took the sheepskin scroll and examined it carefully.
There are some complex patterns and symbols painted on the scroll, which seem to be the design of a magical weapon.
The more he looked at it, the more profound it became, and a passion for challenge surged in his heart.
"Senior, don't worry, junior will do his best." Luo Chen said firmly.
Lin Xu nodded with satisfaction, then said goodbye and left, leaving Luo Chen and Qing Shuang to continue studying this mysterious weapon refining blueprint.
After Lin Xu left, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang locked themselves in the refining room and began in-depth research on the sheepskin scrolls.
They knew that this was not only a weapon refining challenge, but also a test of their skills.
"Qingshuang, look at this symbol, it seems to represent a special energy flow." Luo Chen pointed to a pattern on the scroll and said.
Qingshuang took a closer look and nodded: "Yes, this symbol has appeared in ancient books. It represents an ancient method of refining weapons, which can integrate the power of heaven and earth into magical weapons."
The two began to try to decipher every detail on the scroll. They knew that only by fully understanding the intention of the design could they successfully restore this ancient artifact.
Day after day, night after night, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang devoted almost all their time to this work.
They kept trying, failing, and trying again, until they finally found the right way to refine it.
"Luochen, we succeeded!" Qingshuang shouted excitedly, holding a newly baked magic weapon in his hand.
Luo Chen looked at the magical weapon, his eyes flashing with excitement: "Yes, Qingshuang, we did it!"
This magic weapon is a sword-shaped magic weapon. The sword body is flowing with a faint blue light, and the hilt is inlaid with a crystal clear gem, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
"Let's give this sword a name." Luo Chen suggested.
Qingshuang thought for a moment, and then said: "Just call it 'Blue Moon', it is like the brightest star in the night sky."
Luo Chen nodded and agreed: "Lanyue, what a good name."
They carefully put away the Blue Moon Sword, preparing to hand it to Lin Xu at the right time.
A few days later, Lin Xu came to the valley again.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang presented the Blue Moon Sword in front of him.
Lin Xu took the Blue Moon Sword, with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "This... this is really unbelievable. Master Luochen, Miss Qingshuang, you have actually restored this ancient magic weapon."
Luochen replied humbly: "Senior, thank you. We are just doing our best."
Lin Xu nodded with satisfaction, then took out an item from his arms and handed it to Luo Chen: "This is my wish. I hope you won't refuse."
Luo Chen took it and took a look. It was an ancient weapon refining secret book, which recorded many lost weapon refining techniques.
"Senior, this is too precious and we cannot accept it." Luo Chen quickly declined.
Lin Xu insisted: "Master Luochen, Miss Qingshuang, your weapon refining skills are worthy of this gift, and I hope you can pass on this knowledge to make the weapon refining skills in the world of immortality more prosperous."
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, knowing that this was a responsibility and an honor.
"We will definitely pass on this knowledge and live up to the expectations of our predecessors." Luo Chen said solemnly.
Lin Xu nodded with satisfaction, then said goodbye and left.
...
Want to improve the level of weapon refining, or want to obtain more spiritual weapons.
Luo Chen then needed more weapons-refining materials.
However, since the refining materials on his body have basically been used up.
So Luo Chen planned to find and collect some weapon refining materials for use.
"Qingshuang, Luojia Mountain, have you heard of it?"
"I heard that Luojia Mountain is rich in all kinds of weapon refining materials, but because the danger is too high, no one usually goes there."
"I plan to visit Naluojia Mountain soon."
Qingshuang frowned slightly when she heard Luo Chen's plan. She knew the dangers of Luojia Mountain, but she also understood Luo Chen's persistence and pursuit of refining.
"Luo Chen, Luojia Mountain is indeed a treasure land, but the dangers there are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Have you really decided?" Qingshuang asked with concern.
Luo Chen nodded, with a firm light in his eyes: "Qingshuang, I understand your concerns, but as a refiner, I must constantly challenge myself and find better materials. Although Luojia Mountain is dangerous, as long as we are well prepared and act carefully, I believe we can come back safely."
Qingshuang sighed. She knew that once Luo Chen made a decision, he would rarely change his mind.
She could only choose to support him and face possible dangers with him.
"Okay, since you have decided, I will go with you. Two people are always safer than one person." Qingshuang said firmly.
Luo Chen looked at Qingshuang gratefully. He knew that with Qingshuang by his side, he would not be alone no matter what difficulties he encountered.
"Thank you, Qingshuang. With your company, I am more confident." Luo Chen said with a smile.
The two began to prepare for going to Luojia Mountain.
They collected various props and magic tools that might be used, and also prepared some elixirs and talismans for emergency situations.
After everything was ready, they embarked on the journey to Luojia Mountain.
Luojia Mountain is located on the edge of the Xiuxian world. The mountains are steep and misty. Legend has it that there are all kinds of strange creatures and powerful guardian beasts.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were careful along the way and avoided many potential dangers.
"Luo Chen, there seems to be a cave ahead. Let's go in and take a look. Maybe we can find some refining materials." Qing Shuang pointed to the cave in front and suggested.
Luo Chen nodded, and they walked into the cave carefully.
The interior of the cave is spacious and deep, and some glowing ores are inlaid on the cave wall, illuminating the way forward.
"Be careful of your feet, there seems to be something wrong here." Luo Chen reminded, he felt a hint of unusual breath.
Suddenly, the ground began to shake, the ores on the cave wall fell one after another, and a huge creature pounced down from the shadow of the cave ceiling.
It was a giant beast with wings, spewing flames from its mouth.
"It's the Fire Wing Beast! Luo Chen, be careful of its flames!" Qing Shuang warned loudly.
Luo Chen quickly drew out his long sword and stood back to back with Qing Shuang, ready to fight this sudden enemy.
The fire of the Fire Wing Beast came like a storm. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang relied on tacit cooperation to dodge the flames and look for opportunities to counterattack.
"Qing Shuang, use the ice spell!" Luo Chen shouted.
Qing Shuang immediately took out a spell from his arms, chanted a spell, and threw the spell at the Fire Wing Beast.
The spell turned into a piece of ice in the air, temporarily sealing the fire of the Fire Wing Beast.
Luo Chen took the opportunity to rush forward, and the long sword drew a sharp sword light, directly hitting the vitals of the Fire Wing Beast.
The Fire Wing Beast was unable to use the frozen flames and could only dodge reluctantly.
After a fierce battle, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang finally defeated the Fire Wing Beast together.
The fire-winged beast fell to the ground, uttered a whine, and then turned into a wisp of light smoke and dissipated.
"Luo Chen, are you okay?" Qing Shuang asked with concern.
Luo Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied with a smile: "I'm fine, thanks to your ice spell."
They knew that this victory was hard-won, but it also made them more determined to move forward.
In the cave, they found some precious refining materials, including a mineral called "fire cloud stone", which can enhance the fire attribute power of magic tools.
"Luo Chen, with these fire cloud stones, we can refine more powerful fire attribute magic tools." Qing Shuang said excitedly.
Luo Chen nodded, and he had begun to imagine how to use these materials to refine new magic tools.
"Yes, Qing Shuang, let's move on. There are more secrets waiting for us to discover in Luojia Mountain."
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang continued to go deeper into Luojia Mountain. They knew that the deeper they went, the greater the danger they encountered, but at the same time, the refining materials they could find were also more precious.
They carefully avoided several areas that might be dangerous, and finally came to a valley covered by strange light.
"Luo Chen, look over there, there seems to be something flashing in that light." Qingshuang pointed to the depths of the valley and said.
Luo Chen looked in the direction Qingshuang pointed, and saw an area in the valley covered by colorful light, in which there seemed to be some mysterious power flowing.
"Let's be careful, there may be unknown dangers hidden in that light." Luo Chen reminded.
The two slowly approached and found that the light came from a huge crystal stone, around which some strange plants grew, exuding a faint fragrance.
"This is... Iron Spirit Grass!" Qingshuang exclaimed in surprise, she recognized one of the extremely rare refining materials.
Luo Chen also recognized this material. Iron Spirit Grass is a rare plant that can greatly enhance the spirituality of magic tools. For refiners, this is simply a priceless treasure.
"We have to find a way to collect some Iron Spirit Grass." Luo Chen said.
However, just as they were about to approach, the crystal suddenly emitted a low hum, and the light around it became more dazzling.
"Be careful, this crystal seems to have life!" Qingshuang said vigilantly.
Suddenly, several rays of light shot out from the crystal, surrounding Luo Chen and Qingshuang.
They felt a strong force pulling them, and their bodies involuntarily moved closer to the crystal.
"Luo Chen, what should we do?" Qing Shuang asked nervously.
"Keep calm, don't resist this force, let's see what happens first." Luo Chen answered calmly.
As they gradually approached the crystal, the light began to soften, and finally wrapped them in a ball of light.
The inside of the light ball was warm and comfortable, and Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt an unprecedented tranquility.
"This is..." Luo Chen was surprised to find that the concentration of spiritual energy in the light ball was extremely high, and it could even be directly absorbed by the body.
"Luo Chen, this crystal seems to help us improve our cultivation!" Qing Shuang said in surprise.
The two stopped resisting and began to absorb the spiritual energy around them, and their cultivation was improved unknowingly.
Time seemed to have lost its meaning in the light ball. When they opened their eyes again, they found that they had returned to the valley, and the crystal returned to calm.
"We really got promoted." Luo Chen felt the spiritual energy filling his body and said with emotion.
"Yes, this is really a miracle." Qing Shuang was also very excited.
They collected some iron spirit grass and prepared to leave the valley.
However, just as they were about to leave, footsteps were heard from the other end of the valley.
"Someone is coming." Luo Chen said vigilantly.
They quickly hid and observed the person coming.
A group of people dressed as immortal cultivators appeared at the entrance of the valley, and they seemed to be looking for something.
"It seems that we are not the only ones who know the secret here." Qingshuang whispered.
Luo Chen and Qingshuang held their breath and quietly observed the group of immortal cultivators.
They were numerous and obviously an organized team, and everyone exuded a good spiritual power fluctuation.
"They don't look like ordinary immortal cultivators," Qingshuang whispered, "We have to be careful."
Luo Chen nodded, he understood Qingshuang's concerns.
Although they improved their cultivation with the help of crystal stones, they still needed to be cautious when facing such a team.
"Let's not act rashly and see what they are going to do." Luo Chen responded softly.
The group of immortal cultivators searched around the valley, as if they were looking for something specific.
One of them suddenly stopped and looked at the place where Luo Chen and Qing Shuang had found the Iron Spirit Grass before.
"There are traces of Iron Spirit Grass here!" the man shouted loudly.
The other cultivators immediately gathered around and began to dig the soil there.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They knew that the Iron Spirit Grass was extremely important to them and could not be easily given up.
