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

"Luochen, look over there!" Qingshuang suddenly pointed to an open space not far ahead. There was a huge stone there with ancient runes carved on it.

Luo Chen looked intently and saw a faint fluorescent light emitting from the stone, echoing the light of the Night Spirit Stone.

"That should be the entrance to the altar."

The team approached the stone cautiously, and the elders began to cast spells in an attempt to unlock the runes on the stone.

As rays of light flowed over the runes, the stone moved slowly, revealing a staircase leading downward to the ground.

"Let's go down." Luo Chen took the lead and walked down the stairs first.

Under the stairs is a wide underground space, with an altar made of Eidolon flowers in the center, emitting a mysterious blue light.

"Is this the real secret of the Night Spirit Flower?" Qingshuang asked in a low voice, her eyes full of curiosity.

Luochen didn't answer. He was concentrating on observing the situation around the altar.

Suddenly, he felt a powerful wave of power, and the Eidolon Flower in the center of the altar began to shake violently.

"Be careful!" Luo Chen shouted and immediately cast a powerful defensive barrier, covering the entire team.

At this moment, the Eidolon Flower in the center of the altar suddenly burst out with dazzling light, and a figure slowly walked out of the light.

It was a mysterious man in black robes, his face was obscured by shadows, and only a pair of eyes shone strangely in the darkness.

And this doesn't seem to be the weirdest thing.

What really makes people feel the most weird is that this person does not seem to have any breath of life.

Looking at it, this seems to be a person.

But in reality, it seems more like a controlled puppet.

"Who are you?" Luo Chen asked in a deep voice, his hand clenching the hilt of the sword, ready to deal with possible battles at any time.

The mysterious man did not answer immediately, but slowly looked around at everyone present.

His eyes finally rested on Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, as if he was assessing their strength.

"It doesn't matter who I am." The mysterious man's voice was low and hollow, as if coming from a distant place, "What matters is that you shouldn't be here."

Qingshuang held the talisman in her hand tightly. She could feel the unusual power. She whispered to Luo Chen: "Be careful, this person is not simple."

Luochen nodded. He could feel the pressure emanating from the other party, which made him even more vigilant.

He slowly took a step forward, trying to break the silent confrontation.

"We are here to explore the secrets of the Night Spirit Flower. If you know anything, tell us." Luo Chen's voice was firm but not impolite.

The mysterious man chuckled, with a hint of ridicule in the laughter, "Exploring secrets? You mortals are always so arrogant and think you can control everything."

At this moment, an elder from the sect suddenly spoke: "Who are you? Why do you appear here?"

The mysterious man turned his head and looked at the elder, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that you have disturbed the peace here."

As the mysterious man's words fell, the entire underground space began to shake, and the Eidolon flowers on the altar glowed more dazzlingly, seeming to respond to the mysterious man's power.

"We must stop him!" Luo Chen shouted, then rushed towards the mysterious man with his sword.

Qingshuang also reacted quickly. She took out pieces of talisman paper from her arms and began to cast spells, trying to seal the mysterious man's actions.

Other disciples and elders of the sect also joined the battle. They each cast their spells and formed a series of attacks towards the mysterious man.

However, the mysterious man's power seemed to be beyond their imagination. An invisible barrier formed around his body, and all attacks were easily blocked.

"You are too weak." The mysterious man sneered. A black scepter suddenly appeared in his hand, with a huge Eidolon stone inlaid on the top of the scepter.

As the scepter was waved, a powerful ripple of power spread out, knocking Luo Chen and others back.

Luochen rolled in the air and landed. He felt a surge of energy and blood, but he quickly stabilized his body and rushed towards the mysterious man again.

"Luochen, be careful!" Qingshuang shouted anxiously. She knew Luochen's strength, but facing this mysterious man, she felt unprecedented worry.

Luochen didn't respond, there was only fighting in his eyes. He kept attacking with his sword, trying to find a weakness in the mysterious man.

The battle lasted for a long time, with neither side gaining a clear upper hand.

Although the mysterious man's power is powerful, it seems to be subject to some restrictions and cannot be fully exerted.

"You mortals are really annoying." The mysterious man finally showed a trace of impatience, and waved the scepter in his hand again. This time, a more violent power ripple spread to all sides.

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and the rest of the sect were all blown away by this force. They fell heavily to the ground and were unable to get up for a while.

The mysterious man slowly walked towards the altar, and his eyes fell on the Eidolon Flower again, as if he was performing some kind of ritual.

"Stop him!" Luo Chen stood up with difficulty, knowing what he had to do.

Qingshuang also struggled to stand up. She took out a precious talisman from her arms, which was her last resort.

"Luochen, catch it!" Qingshuang threw the talisman towards Luo Chen. She knew that only Luo Chen's power could activate the talisman.

Luo Chen caught the talisman and he could feel the powerful power contained in it.

He didn't hesitate and immediately put the talisman on his sword.

The sword instantly burst out with dazzling light, and Luo Chen felt a powerful force pouring into his body.

"Drink!" Luo Chen shouted and slashed at the mysterious man with his sword.

The sword light streaked across the night sky like a shooting star, striking the mysterious man directly with unparalleled power.

The mysterious man felt threatened. He turned around and waved the scepter in his hand again, trying to resist this fatal blow.

However, Luo Chen's sword was as powerful as breaking a bamboo and cut off the scepter directly. The sword light remained unabated and continued to attack the mysterious man.

The mysterious man exclaimed. He didn't expect Luo Chen to be able to exert such a powerful force.

The sword light finally hit the mysterious man, and the black robe on his body was torn, revealing a shocking fact.

The mysterious man, or in other words, the controlled puppet, turned out to be a strange creature made of Eidolon flowers.

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and everyone present were shocked. They did not expect that the Night Spirit Flower could form such a terrifying existence.

"What...what's going on?" Luo Chen gasped, feeling that his strength was rapidly draining away.

Qingshuang hurriedly stepped forward to support Luo Chen. She knew that Luo Chen had exhausted all his strength.

"We have to get out of here." Qingshuang said anxiously.

Luochen nodded, knowing that he could no longer fight.

Other disciples and elders of the sect also gathered around, knowing that now was the best time to retreat.

Under the leadership of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, everyone began to retreat in an orderly manner. They passed through the stairs and left the underground space.

When they returned to the ground, the entire Evernight Valley seemed to have returned to calm, as if everything that had just happened was just a nightmare.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They knew that although this expedition was full of dangers, it also gave them a deeper understanding of the Eidolon Flower.

"Let's go back, the sect needs to know all this." Luo Chen said.

Qingshuang nodded, she knew that Luo Chen was right, the sect must be prepared to deal with more threats that may arise.

Full of exhaustion and doubts, the group embarked on the road back to the sect.

And not long after they left, the strange wailing sounded again from the depths of Yongye Valley, which seemed to indicate that this matter was far from over.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the sect's team and slowly walked out of the shadow of Yongye Valley.

The sun shines through the sparse clouds and shines on their tired faces, bringing a touch of warmth to them.

Although he felt physically exhausted, Luochen's heart was filled with thoughts about the future.

"Luochen, who do you think that mysterious person is?" Qingshuang asked as she walked, with a hint of exhaustion and confusion in her voice.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, and then replied: "I'm not sure, but it's definitely not a human being. Maybe it has some mysterious connection with the Eidolon Flower."

"Then what should we do next?" Qing Shuang continued to ask, knowing that Luo Chen could always come up with a solution.

"We need more information," Luo Chen said. "After returning to the sect, I will ask the sect leader to summon all the elders to jointly study the secret of the Night Spirit Flower."

Qingshuang nodded, she knew that Luo Chen's decisions were always carefully considered.

They continued to move forward, passing through woods and crossing streams, and finally saw the outline of the sect at dusk.

After returning to the sect, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately reported to the sect leader what they had seen and heard during their trip to Yongye Valley.

After listening to their narrative, the sect leader frowned, obviously very worried about the news.

"This matter is not trivial," the sect leader said solemnly, "I will summon all the elders immediately. We must find out the secret of the Night Spirit Flower and the identity of the mysterious man."

After Luo Chen and Qing Shuang retreated, the sect leader immediately issued an order to summon all the important figures in the sect.

In the sect's main hall, an emergency meeting about the Night Spirit Flower quickly began.

"Elders," the sect master stood in the center of the hall with a serious voice, "Luochen and Qingshuang have brought back important information. There is a huge secret hidden in Yongye Valley, and we must uncover it as soon as possible."

The elders nodded, knowing the seriousness of this matter.

Luochen and Qingshuang were also invited to the meeting, and they described in detail what they saw and heard in Yongye Valley to everyone present.

"The existence of the Eidolon Flower is obviously much more complicated than what we knew before," said an older elder. "We need more research to understand its true purpose."

"Moreover, the appearance of that mysterious man also sounded the alarm for us," another elder added, "We must be more vigilant to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

The meeting lasted for several hours, and the wise men in the sect put forward their own opinions and suggestions.

Finally, the sect leader made a decision.

"Luochen, Qingshuang," the sect leader turned to them, "your mission is not over yet. I need you to continue investigating the secret of the Night Spirit Flower and find out the identity of the mysterious man."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang respectfully accepted the task.

They know that this will be a road full of unknowns and dangers, but they also understand that this is their responsibility as disciples of the sect.

In the following days, Luochen and Qingshuang began their investigation.

They read through all the ancient books in the sect, looking for clues about the Night Spirit Flower and the mysterious man.

At the same time, they also kept communicating with other disciples in the sect, hoping to get some useful information from them.

As time went by, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's investigation gradually made progress.

They found some ancient legends about the Night Spirit Flower, which mentioned the mysterious connection between the Night Spirit Flower and the Evernight Valley.

"Look here," Qing Shuang pointed to the text on an ancient book, "It is said that the Night Spirit Flower is the guardian flower of the Evernight Valley. It can absorb the power of darkness and protect the peace in the valley."

Luo Chen nodded, he felt that this information was very important, "Then, the mysterious man may be controlled by the power of the Night Spirit Flower."

"We need more evidence," Qing Shuang said, "Perhaps, we should go to the Evernight Valley again."

Luo Chen agreed with Qing Shuang's proposal.

They decided to set out on the road to the Evernight Valley again after they were ready.

And this time, the preparations that needed to be made were naturally richer.

They also had to bring more self-defense items.

Otherwise, if they were not careful, they might be left in the Evernight Valley by those monsters and never come out.

......

After leaving the sect, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang came to a nearby market where immortal cultivators gathered.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang wandered around the market. They needed not only self-defense items, but also special magic tools that could help them explore the Evernight Valley in depth.

The market was bustling with people, and various stalls were filled with a wide variety of immortal cultivation items, from elixirs to rare treasures.

"Qing Shuang, look at this." Luo Chen pointed to a string of bells on a stall. The bells were engraved with complex runes and emitted a faint spiritual light.

Qingshuang took a closer look and nodded, "This string of bells is called 'Spiritual Sound Bells'. It is said that it can dispel evil spirits. Perhaps it can be used in the Evernight Valley."

The stall owner was a shrewd middle-aged man. Seeing that Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were interested in the bells, he introduced them enthusiastically: "You two immortal friends have good taste. I got this Lingyin Bell from a master. Using it to walk at night can avoid many unnecessary troubles."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, bargained with the stall owner, and finally bought the Lingyin Bell at a reasonable price.

They continued to look for items that might be useful in the market.

"Luo Chen, look at this." Qingshuang found an old map on a stall in a corner, with some strange symbols marked on it.
