Immortality Cultivation: I can use my clansmen’s energy and blood to add points

"Master, can we find substitutes for the materials mentioned in these elixir recipes?"

An old man with a long beard stood up. He was a famous master of alchemy in the alliance.

"Qingshuang, although these recipes are old, the principles are similar to our current alchemy technology. I will study with several colleagues to see if we can find suitable substitutes."

Luo Chen added: "Moreover, the area marked on the map may contain the rare materials we need. I suggest organizing an expedition team to explore there."

Shui Wuhen nodded in agreement.

"Very good, Luo Chen, you will be in charge of this expedition team, and I will ask the alliance to provide necessary support."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang accepted the order. They knew that this was an important task, which was not only related to personal growth, but also to the future of the entire alliance.

In the following days, Luo Chen and Qingshuang began to prepare the expedition team.

They selected some elites in the alliance, including monks who were good at formations, alchemists who were proficient in pharmacology, and some agile practitioners.

After the expedition team was ready, they set out on the road to Yongye Valley again.

This time, they brought more hope and expectations, as well as the trust of the alliance.

Outside the Evernight Valley, the expedition team moved forward cautiously.

They followed the marks on the map to find areas where rare materials might be hidden.

However, as everyone entered the Evernight Valley.

In the Evernight Valley, the creatures hidden in the dark also appeared around everyone.

Those pairs of blood-red eyes seemed to indicate the desire of these creatures for the flesh and blood of Luo Chen and others.

"Stay alert, don't disperse."

Luo Chen whispered, his eyes searching in the darkness, trying to find the hiding place of those creatures.

Qingshuang held the hilt tightly, she knew that the attacks of these creatures were sudden and deadly.

She looked around, trying to find a place to take cover.

"Luo Chen, there is a pile of stones over there, we can retreat there first."

Luo Chen nodded, and he quickly directed the team to move towards the pile of stones.

They carefully passed through the bushes, trying not to make any noise.

However, those creatures seemed to have sensed their presence and began to gather from all directions.

"Prepare for battle!" Luo Chen shouted loudly, and at the same time he took out a handful of talisman paper from his storage bag and waved it quickly in the air. The talisman paper turned into streams of light and flew towards the approaching creatures.

The battle was about to break out, and the members of the expedition team took out their weapons and started a fierce battle with those nocturnal creatures.

Qing Shuang waved her long sword, and each sword hit the target accurately. Her swordsmanship drew silver arcs in the night.

Luo Chen was in the center of the team, constantly casting defensive and offensive spells. His mana surged like a tide, providing the necessary support for the team.

The battle lasted for a long time, and the number of nocturnal creatures seemed endless, but the members of the expedition team gradually gained the upper hand with tacit cooperation and firm will.

Finally, with the last wail, the nocturnal creatures began to retreat and disappeared into the darkness.

The members of the expedition team breathed a sigh of relief, but no one dared to let down their guard, as they knew this might only be a temporary peace.

"Everyone check your injuries, and we'll keep going," Luo Chen ordered, with a hint of fatigue in his voice, but more of determination.

The team continued to move forward, following the marks on the map, and finally came to a place marked as the "Secret Medicine Valley."

Various exotic plants grow here, some of which emit a faint fluorescent glow, while others emit a strong medicinal fragrance.

"Among these plants, there must be rare materials we need." Qing Shuang said excitedly, with a glimmer of exploration in her eyes.

Luo Chen nodded, and he began to observe these plants carefully, trying to find out the types that match the materials recorded in ancient books.

After some effort, they finally found several possible alternative materials.

"These should be what we need," Luo Chen said, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

"Then let's start collecting," Qing Shuang suggested, as she couldn't wait to try to refine those ancient elixirs.

The members of the expedition team began to carefully collect plants. They knew the preciousness of these materials, so everyone was extra careful, fearing that these precious resources would be damaged.

During the collection process, Luo Chen suddenly found an abnormality.

"Everyone stop for a moment, I feel something is wrong here."

Qingshuang and other members immediately stopped their work and observed the surroundings vigilantly.

Luo Chen walked to a seemingly ordinary stone wall. He touched it gently with his hand and found that there was a weak fluctuation of mana on the stone wall.

"There may be a mechanism hidden here." Luo Chen said, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

He began to carefully study the mana fluctuations on the stone wall, trying to find a way to open the mechanism.

After some effort, he finally found the correct mana sequence, and the stone wall slowly separated to both sides, revealing a hidden cave.

In the cave, various ancient utensils and books were placed. Obviously, this was once the private laboratory of a master of alchemy.

"We found it!" Qingshuang shouted excitedly, her eyes quickly scanning the cave, looking for items that might be helpful in refining the medicine.

Luochen and Qingshuang led the team into the cave, and they began to carefully inspect every corner.

Deep in the cave, they discovered a huge alchemy furnace, with some unfinished elixirs still remaining in the furnace.

"The formulas of these elixirs seem to be different from those recorded in our ancient books." Luo Chen said, his eyes shining with curiosity.

Qingshuang nodded, "Maybe we can try to complete the refining of these elixirs and see what effect it will have."

Luochen and Qingshuang began to try to refine the elixir according to the formula in the cave. They carefully controlled the proportion of fire and materials.

After a lot of hard work, they finally succeeded in refining pills that exuded a faint light.

"The energy contained in these elixirs seems to be much more powerful than what we have refined before." Qingshuang exclaimed.

Luochen nodded, "This may be because of the special environment and materials here. We may have really found some very precious formulas."

The members of the team gathered around one after another. They looked at the elixirs in the hands of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, their eyes full of admiration and expectation.

"Let's bring these elixirs back to the alliance and show them to the sect masters and elders," Luo Chen said.

...

With the gains, Luochen naturally planned to take them back.

However, they had just left the valley with their team.

Before they could completely leave the Evernight Valley, they met another group of people.

These people wear different costumes.

There was a look of vigilance on their faces.

It seemed that they were extremely surprised to meet people like Luo Chen.

"Who are you?" Luo Chen asked warily, his hand unconsciously touching the hilt of the sword at his waist.

A middle-aged man leading the opposite side was wearing a black robe with a golden phoenix embroidered on his chest. He smiled slightly and replied: "We are an expedition team from the Tianfeng Sect. My name is Feng Xiang, and I am part of this team. "

Qingshuang held the hilt of the sword tightly and glanced at the opponent sharply. She whispered to Luo Chen: "Be careful, Tianfeng Sect has always had some friction with our Bishui Sect."

Luo Chen nodded. He knew the friction Qing Shuang mentioned. Small-scale conflicts often occurred between the two sects due to competition for resources and spheres of influence.

He turned to Feng Xiang and said: "We are the expedition team of the Bishui Sect. My name is Luo Chen, and this is my companion Qing Shuang. We are here to perform the mission of the alliance."

Feng Xiang's eyes looked at Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, and then scanned the team behind them, as if assessing their strength.

After a moment, he said: "I see, it seems that we met by chance, but since we are both here to explore the Evernight Valley, maybe we can cooperate."

Qingshuang frowned. She didn't trust people from the Tianfeng Sect, but Luo Chen had different ideas.

He is well aware of the dangers of Yongye Valley. If he can cooperate with Tianfeng Sect, he may be able to reduce unnecessary conflicts and complete the task faster.

"Cooperation?" Luo Chen pondered for a moment, and then said, "We can consider it, but we must first clarify the conditions for cooperation."

Fengxiang nodded and expressed his understanding: "This is natural. We can share information and explore together, but we each get what we need from the resources and treasures we discover."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a look, and they knew that this was the best condition the other party could offer.

After all, Evernight Valley is full of dangers, and one more ally is always better than one more enemy.

"Okay, we agree to cooperate." Luochen finally said.

A satisfied smile appeared on Fengxiang's face. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Luo Chen, indicating that the agreement was reached.

After the two teams merged, their numbers increased and their strength became stronger.

Although, Luo Chen originally wanted to leave Yongye Valley first.

But now that another group of people have joined, it doesn't mean that they can't stay in the Eternal Night Valley for a while longer.

They continued deep into the Evernight Valley, carefully avoiding various dangers along the way while also looking for possible resources and treasures.

During a break, Luochen, Qingshuang and Fengxiang sat together and discussed the next plan.

"Brother Luochen, how much do you know about Yongye Valley?" Feng Xiang asked.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, and then said: "As far as I know, there are countless secrets hidden in the Evernight Valley, including some ancient ruins. However, the creatures here are extremely ferocious, and the environment is complex. If you are not careful, you will lose your way."

Feng Xiang nodded and agreed: "That's true. Our Tianfeng Sect has explored this place before, but failed. We hope to make a breakthrough this time."

Qingshuang was listening, and she suddenly interjected: "We discovered a hidden cave in the valley before. It seems to be the laboratory of a master alchemist. Are you interested in taking a look?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Fengxiang's eyes. He obviously didn't expect people from the Bishui Sect to make such a discovery.

He pondered for a moment and then said: "This is a good clue. Our Tianfeng Sect also has experts who are good at refining medicine. We may be able to get some inspiration from it."

So, the two teams decided to head to the cave.

At the entrance of the cave, Feng Xiang observed it carefully, and then said: "The fluctuations in mana here are very unusual. It seems that there is indeed a mechanism."

Luo Chen nodded, he walked forward, and opened the stone wall again according to the previous method.

The stone wall slowly opened, revealing the entrance of the cave.

After the team entered the cave, the alchemy master of Tianfeng Sect was immediately attracted by the utensils and books inside.

They began to study carefully, hoping to find some useful clues.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang continued to explore other parts of the cave.

Deep in the cave, they found a huge bookshelf filled with various ancient books.

"These ancient books may contain valuable knowledge that we have not yet discovered." Luo Chen said.

Qing Shuang nodded, she picked up an ancient book casually, opened it, and found that it recorded many legends and history about Yongye Valley.

"Luo Chen, come and see this." Qing Shuang pointed to a paragraph of text and said.

Luo Chen leaned over to take a look, and saw that the ancient book recorded: "Deep in the Evernight Valley, there is a mysterious lake, in which grows a rare plant called 'Night Spirit Flower'. It is said that its pollen can greatly enhance the spiritual power of practitioners."

"Night Spirit Flower?" Luo Chen's heart moved. If they could really find this flower, it would undoubtedly be a great blessing for their practitioners.

"We should go find this lake." Luo Chen said to Qingshuang.

Qingshuang also seemed very excited. She knew that this might be a major discovery.

The two decided to tell Feng Xiang and others about this news.

When Luo Chen and Qingshuang told Feng Xiang about this news, he seemed very interested: "Night Spirit Flower? This is a big discovery! This flower is also mentioned in the ancient books of our Tianfeng Sect. It is said that it only grows in the Evernight Valley."

The two teams decided to change their plans and start looking for the legendary lake.

After a difficult journey, they finally found the lake in a dark forest.

A layer of light mist was diffused around the lake, and the lake water showed a strange blue color. Some flowers with glimmering light were floating on the lake.

"This is the Night Spirit Flower!" Feng Xiang said excitedly.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also felt excited. They knew that this discovery might change the path of their cultivation.

However, just as they were about to collect the Night Spirit Flower, a low roar suddenly came from the lake.

Then, the lake surface began to fluctuate violently, and a huge black shadow slowly rose from the lake.

"Be careful!" Luo Chen shouted, and he quickly cast a defensive spell to protect the team members.

The black shadow gradually revealed its true face. It was a huge aquatic creature covered with hard scales, and its two huge eyes were flashing with dim light.

"This is the guardian beast in the lake!" Feng Xiang exclaimed.
