Chapter 794 The conference is over, return to the Loose Cultivator Alliance!

Ziyun nodded in agreement: "Qingshuang is right. We can't be discouraged by a failure. Although the Loose Cultivator Alliance does not have a big background like the Tianxing Sect, we have our advantages, that is, freedom and unity."

The three of them walked out of the ancient ruins while talking.

The sun outside shone on them. Although they had experienced twists and turns, their hearts were full of hope and determination.

After returning to the market, Luo Chen and Qingshuang decided not to participate in any ruins exploration for the time being, but to focus on improving their cultivation.

The best way to improve cultivation is naturally to practice in seclusion for a period of time.

Under the leadership of Ziyun, Luo Chen and Qingshuang found the gathering place of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, which was a hidden cave deep in the mountains and forests.

In the cave, the loose cultivators were busy, some were practicing, and some were exchanging experiences. The atmosphere was tense and harmonious.

"This is our home." Ziyun introduced proudly, "Although the conditions are simple, everyone is working hard for the same goal."

Luo Chen looked around, and a warm current surged in his heart.

Although he and Qingshuang were born in ordinary families, they felt a sense of belonging here.

"Let's go meet the leader of the alliance first." Ziyun suggested.

They passed through winding stone paths and finally came to a spacious stone chamber.

In the center of the stone chamber sat a middle-aged man, wearing a simple Taoist robe, with an extraordinary temperament between his eyebrows.

"This is our leader, named Feng Xingzhe." Ziyun introduced.

Feng Xingzhe raised his head, his eyes like lightning, and swept across Luo Chen and Qingshuang.

He smiled slightly, and his voice was gentle: "Welcome to join the Loose Cultivator Alliance. Here, everyone has the opportunity to show their talents."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang saluted Feng Xingzhe to show their respect.

"We are willing to contribute our strength to the alliance." Luo Chen said firmly.

Feng Xingzhe nodded, then took out two secret books from his sleeves and handed them to Luo Chen and Qingshuang: "This is the basic cultivation method of the alliance. I hope it will be helpful to you."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang took the secret books and thanked them gratefully.

In the following days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to practice in seclusion.

In addition to practicing every day, they would learn from each other and make rapid progress.

Zi Yun also often came to guide them, and the friendship between the three of them became increasingly deep.

One day, Luo Chen suddenly felt the surging of true energy in his body during practice, as if something was about to break through.

He immediately sat cross-legged and guided the true energy to flow.

Qing Shuang guarded by his side, looking at Luo Chen nervously.

She knew that this was a sign of breakthrough.

After a night of hard work, Luo Chen finally succeeded in breaking through and reached a new realm.

He opened his eyes, his eyes shining.

"Congratulations, Luo Chen!" Qing Shuang said happily.

Luo Chen stood up and looked at Qing Shuang gratefully: "Thank you, Qing Shuang."

Zi Yun came to congratulate him after hearing the news: "Luo Chen, you are really a genius in practice!"

Luo Chen shook his head modestly: "Without your help, I would not have been able to break through so quickly."

Feng Xingzhe also came to congratulate him after hearing the news of Luo Chen's breakthrough, and gave him some guidance on practice.

"Luo Chen, you have great talent, but the road to immortal cultivation is long and arduous, so you must not be proud and complacent." Feng Xingzhe said earnestly.

Luo Chen nodded seriously: "I understand, I will continue to work hard."

As time went by, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang became more and more famous in the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

Their strength was recognized by everyone, and they gradually took on more responsibilities.

One day, the Loose Cultivator Alliance received a message that the Tianxing Sect was preparing for a large-scale immortal cultivation conference and invited all immortal cultivators to participate.

"This conference is an opportunity for us." Feng Xingzhe said to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, "You can go and see it, maybe you can get some opportunities from it."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, they knew that this was a challenge and an opportunity.

"We are willing to participate." Luo Chen said firmly.

So, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, accompanied by Ziyun, went to the immortal cultivation conference held by the Tianxing Sect.

Along the way, they met many immortal cultivators from different forces, each with their own stories and goals.

After arriving at Tianxing Sect, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were shocked by the scene before them.

The gate of Tianxing Sect was magnificent, and two rows of disciples wearing Tianxing Sect costumes stood on both sides of the gate, majestic and solemn.

"Welcome to Tianxing Sect." A disciple of Tianxing Sect came forward to greet them.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang followed the crowd into the main peak of Tianxing Sect, where cultivators from all directions had gathered.

There were many projects in the Xiuxian Conference, including spell competitions, alchemy competitions, array demonstrations, etc.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang decided to start with the field they were best at.

Accompanied by Ziyun, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang came to the main peak of Tianxing Sect.

They passed through a series of pavilions and towers, and finally came to a huge square.

Many cultivators had gathered in the square, and they were either discussing in groups of three or five, or preparing for the upcoming competition alone.

"In this conference, the goal of our loose cultivator alliance is to show our strength and learn as much as possible from the strengths of other sects." Ziyun whispered to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

Luo Chen nodded, his eyes searching the crowd, trying to find some familiar faces.

Qingshuang seemed a little nervous. She held the talisman paper tightly in her hand, as if to cheer herself up.

"Let's go to the registration office first." Ziyun suggested.

The three of them walked to a corner of the square, where there was a registration office managed by a disciple of Tianxing Sect.

Luochen and Qingshuang registered separately. They chose to participate in the magic competition and alchemy competition.

"The magic competition will start in the afternoon, and the alchemy competition will be tomorrow." The disciple of Tianxing Sect in charge of registration told them.

Luochen and Qingshuang looked at each other, and they knew that the next time would be used to prepare for the competition.

They decided to go to the Tianxing Sect's library first, where there are rich collections of immortal cultivation classics, and perhaps they can find some information that will help the competition.

The library is located in the back mountain of Tianxing Sect. It is an ancient three-story building.

Luochen and Qingshuang walked into the library under the leadership of Ziyun.

There are many bookshelves and books in it. Many immortal cultivators are studying hard.

They found books about spells and alchemy and began to read them carefully.

Luo Chen had a deep understanding of spells, and he quickly found some methods to practice advanced spells.

Qing Shuang was particularly interested in alchemy. She found a secret book about refining advanced elixirs, which recorded many materials and refining techniques she had never heard of.

Time passed unknowingly, and when they looked up, they found that the sky had gradually darkened.

They decided to go back to their residence to rest and prepare for the next day's competition.

The next day, the alchemy competition officially began.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang each entered an independent alchemy room. The alchemy furnace in front of them had been preheated, and various medicinal materials were ready.

The rules of the competition were to refine the highest quality elixir within an hour.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang took a deep breath and then began their refining.

Luo Chen's technique was skillful and steady. He put the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace step by step according to the records in the book and controlled the temperature.

Qingshuang seemed a little nervous, but she quickly got into the state. Although her technique was not as skilled as Luochen's, she gradually found her own rhythm with her love and concentration on alchemy.

As time passed, the alchemy room was filled with a strong aroma of medicine.

Other contestants were also busy, and the entire competition site was filled with a tense and focused atmosphere.

Finally, the time was up, and all the contestants stopped their actions.

The lids of the alchemy furnaces were opened one by one, showing the results of their hard work.

In Luochen's alchemy furnace, the pills were round and full, exuding a faint luster, obviously of top quality.

In Qingshuang's alchemy furnace, although there were not many pills, each one exuded an unusual aura, obviously of extraordinary quality.

The judges began to check one by one, examining each pill with professional eyes, nodding or shaking their heads from time to time.

Finally, the leader of the judging panel stood up and announced the results of the competition.

"The winner of this alchemy competition is Luo Chen!" The judge's voice echoed in the square.

Luo Chen smiled slightly and bowed to the audience around him.

Although Qing Shuang did not win the first place, she was also satisfied with her performance. She knew that the experience of this competition had greatly improved her alchemy skills.

Next was the magic competition.

Luo Chen stood in the center of the competition venue, facing opponents from different sects.

Among them, the bald man with a strong figure and a long sword on his back attracted most of Luo Chen's attention.

The bald man was named Tieshan. He was an elite disciple from the Iron Sword Sect and was famous for his domineering sword energy.

He looked at Luo Chen, and a hint of provocation flashed in his eyes.

"Iron Sword Sect Tieshan, please teach me." Tieshan clasped his fists and said in a loud voice.

"Loose Cultivator Alliance Luo Chen." Luo Chen also clasped his fists and spoke calmly.

With the referee's order, the competition officially began.

Tieshan took the lead. He drew his long sword, and the sword energy was like a rainbow, pointing directly at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen was not in a hurry. He dodged lightly, and at the same time, the spells in his hands changed. Water curtains appeared out of thin air to resist Tieshan's sword energy.

"Water Curtain Tianhua!" Luo Chen shouted softly, and the water curtains overlapped layer by layer to form a solid defense.

Seeing this, Tieshan changed his sword momentum, and the tip of the sword touched the ground. A strong earth-yellow light rose from the ground and turned into earth walls, trying to break through Luo Chen's water curtain.

"Earth Dragon Break!" Tieshan shouted, and the earth walls turned into earth dragons and hit the water curtain.

The water curtain and the earth dragon collided with each other, making a deafening roar.

Luo Chen frowned slightly, and he realized that Tieshan's strength should not be underestimated.

He took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and formed seals with his hands. The water curtain began to rotate, forming a huge vortex.

"Whirlpool Technique!" Luo Chen gave an order, and the vortex expanded rapidly, sucking the earth dragon into it, and the power of the earth dragon gradually dissipated in the vortex.

Seeing this, Tieshan's face changed slightly. He knew he had to change his strategy.

He retracted his sword and closed his eyes, as if communicating with some kind of power between heaven and earth. After a moment, he opened his eyes, his eyes shining.

"The secret skill of the Iron Sword Sect - Sword Breaks the Sky!" Tieshan shouted, swung his sword, and a sharp sword energy rushed straight into the sky, as if to split the sky in two.

Seeing this, Luo Chen did not dare to be careless. He put his hands together and muttered something. A strong water element force gathered around him, forming a huge water dragon.

"Water dragon roar!" Luo Chen roared, and the water dragon roared out, colliding fiercely with Tieshan's sword energy in the air.

The two forces collided and erupted with dazzling light, shaking the entire competition venue.

In the end, the water dragon and the sword energy dissipated at the same time. Luo Chen and Tieshan each took a few steps back, evenly matched.

The referee announced: "Tie!"

Luochen and Tieshan looked at each other and smiled, each expressing respect for the other's strength.

Tieshan came over and patted Luo Chen on the shoulder: "You are very strong. I hope we still have a chance to compete."

Luo Chen nodded: "There will definitely be a chance."

Qing Shuang watched Luo Chen's performance from the sidelines, feeling filled with pride.

She knew how much effort Luochen had put in for this competition, and his performance today proved that it was all worth it.

After the game, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang returned to the residence of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

Ziyun is already waiting for them.

"You all performed very well, especially Luo Chen, who was able to tie with Iron Sword Sect's Tieshan, which is rare among casual cultivators." Ziyun said approvingly.

Luo Chen smiled modestly: "It's just good luck. Tieshan is indeed very strong."

Qingshuang was a little worried: "However, our outstanding performance at the Tianxing Sect's conference this time will attract the attention of the Tianxing Sect?"

Ziyun thought for a moment and then said: "Although the Tianxing Sect is powerful, they will not attack the casual cultivator alliance easily. As long as we keep a low profile and focus on improving our own strength, we don't have to worry too much."

Luo Chen nodded: "Ziyun is right, we should still focus on cultivation."

In the following days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang continued to practice in the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, and their strength also steadily improved.

At the same time, they also began to learn more spells and alchemy knowledge to prepare for future challenges.

...

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, half a month later.

Loose Cultivator Alliance, in the small courtyard where Luo Chen lives.

At this time, Luochen and Qingshuang were carving out a piece of land in the small courtyard. They planned to plant some useful elixirs and spiritual fruits on the land.

"Qingshuang, what kind of elixir do you think this land is suitable for growing?" Luo Chen asked Qingshuang beside him while waving his hoe.

Qingshuang put down the medicine shovel in her hand, observed it carefully, and then replied: "The soil of this land is acidic, which is suitable for planting some acid-loving elixirs, such as purple cloud grass and blood coral."

Luo Chen nodded and agreed: "Then let's plant these two elixirs first. Purple cloud grass can be used to refine elixirs that improve cultivation, and blood coral has miraculous effects on treating internal injuries."
