Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood

"Looks like we've found something valuable," the middle-aged man sneered.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, realizing the situation was dire.

This group of black-robed figures clearly wasn't benevolent. If they obtained the power from the Crystal Ball, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"We have to stop them," Luo Chen whispered.

Qing Shuang nodded. She knew Luo Chen was right.

They began to silently approach the black-robed figures, looking for an opportunity to strike.

Just as the black-robed figures were about to make a move on the Crystal Ball, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang suddenly launched their attack.

The longsword in Luo Chen's hand unleashed a fierce sword light, aimed straight at the middle-aged man's vital point.

Meanwhile, Qing Shuang released a series of talismans, attacking the other black-robed figures.

The sudden attack caught the black-robed figures off guard, but they quickly reacted and began to fight back.

A chaotic battle erupted in the hall.

Relying on their tacit teamwork, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang engaged in an intense fight with the black-robed figures.

During the battle, Luo Chen discovered that the middle-aged man was incredibly powerful and that the longsword in his hand seemed to be a powerful magic artifact.

"Qing Shuang, watch out for that guy's sword!" Luo Chen loudly reminded.

Qing Shuang nodded. She knew Luo Chen was right.

She began to respond more cautiously to the middle-aged man's attacks, while also looking for opportunities to counterattack.

The battle raged on for a long time, and both sides were exhausted.

Finally, through a clever coordination, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang found the middle-aged man's weakness and defeated him together.

The middle-aged man fell to the ground, his eyes filled with resentment and anger.

He realized he had lost and could no longer pose a threat to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at the fallen middle-aged man, a sense of relief washing over them.

They knew this victory was hard-won.

"Luo Chen, are you alright?" Qing Shuang asked with concern.

Luo Chen shook his head and replied with a smile, "I'm fine."

They knew that this victory was not just due to their strength, but also because of their harmony and trust in each other.

After defeating the black-robed figures, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to study how to safely remove the seal on the Crystal Ball.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang approached the Crystal Ball cautiously, aware that any misstep could lead to unforeseen consequences.

Luo Chen took an ancient tome from his pocket, which they had found during their preparation. It contained a wealth of information about the relic.

"According to the ancient tome, the seal on the Crystal Ball requires specific mana guidance to be safely removed," Luo Chen said, carefully flipping through the tome, searching for a way to remove the seal.

Qing Shuang nodded, knowing that Luo Chen was well-versed in this area. She said, "Then I'll act as your protector; you go ahead and try."

Luo Chen took a deep breath and began to channel his mana into the Crystal Ball according to the method described in the ancient tome.

The Crystal Ball started to emit a gentle glow, and as Luo Chen's mana flowed in, the light gradually brightened.

"Be careful; the reaction of the Crystal Ball seems stronger than expected," Qing Shuang warned nervously.

Luo Chen nodded, able to feel the power within the Crystal Ball resonating with his mana.

He continued to guide his mana, carefully seeking out the nodes of the seal.

At that moment, the Crystal Ball suddenly burst into dazzling light, and a powerful energy wave spread from it.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were pushed back a few steps by the force but quickly steadied themselves, preparing to face whatever might happen.

"Luo Chen, are you alright?" Qing Shuang asked nervously.

Luo Chen shook his head, keeping his gaze fixed on the Crystal Ball, and said, "I'm fine, but the seal seems more complex than we thought."

Qing Shuang stepped forward to stand by Luo Chen's side, knowing this was when they needed each other the most.

The two began to analyze the power within the Crystal Ball more cautiously, trying to find a safe way to break the seal.

As time passed by, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang dedicated virtually all their energy to studying the Crystal Ball.

Finally, during one attempt, they discovered a possible method of breaking the seal.

"Qing Shuang, I need you to help me stabilize the energy fluctuations of the Crystal Ball while I try to break the seal," Luo Chen said.

Qing Shuang nodded, knowing how critical Luo Chen's plan was.

She began to wield her mana to stabilize the energy fluctuations of the Crystal Ball.

Luo Chen focused his mind, carefully attempting to break the seal according to the method outlined in the ancient tome.

As Luo Chen's mana gradually penetrated the Crystal Ball, the power of the seal began to loosen.

The light from the Crystal Ball gradually dimmed, and finally, with a faint sound, the seal was completely broken.

The spirit within the Crystal Ball was finally released, transforming into a beam of light that hovered in the air.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang watched this scene nervously, not knowing what would happen next.

"Thank you, courageous cultivators," a gentle voice rang out in the hall as the spirit within the Crystal Ball took on the form of an elderly man.

"We simply did what we had to do," Luo Chen replied.

The old man's eyes showed a hint of gratitude as he nodded, "As a token of my thanks, I will impart some ancient artifact refining knowledge to you."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, knowing this was a rare opportunity.

The old man began teaching them, and Luo Chen and Qing Shuang listened intently, afraid to miss any detail.

After the imparting of knowledge, the old man disappeared in a beam of light.

After the old man disappeared, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were filled with gratitude and excitement.

They knew that this ancient artifact refining knowledge would be an invaluable asset on their path of cultivation.

"Luo Chen, we've really obtained ancient artifact refining knowledge," Qing Shuang said, her voice filled with barely contained excitement.

Luo Chen nodded, his eyes shining with a determined light, "Yes, Qing Shuang. This is a significant enhancement for us. We must find a place to properly digest this knowledge."

They decided to leave the relic first and return to the valley to study the newfound knowledge carefully.

They cautiously made their way through the hall and along the familiar path back without encountering any further obstacles.

Back in the valley, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately began organizing and studying the newly acquired artifact refining knowledge.

They found that this knowledge contained not only artifact refining techniques but also many secrets on material handling and magic artifact crafting.

"Luo Chen, look here, this ancient tome describes an advanced artifact refining technique called 'Celestial Refining Technique,'" Qing Shuang pointed to a yellowed page, speaking excitedly.

Luo Chen leaned over to read the page carefully.

He discovered that this refining technique not only enhanced the quality of magic artifacts but could also endow them with special abilities to some extent.

"This is incredible, Qing Shuang. If we can master this refining technique, our artifact refining skills will leap in quality," Luo Chen said, his voice full of anticipation.

In the days that followed, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang dedicated nearly all their time to studying and practicing the ancient artifact refining knowledge.

They continued to experiment, fail, and try again until they finally succeeded in crafting their first magic artifact using the "Celestial Refining Technique."

This magic artifact was a piece of armor, its surface flowing with a subtle golden light and exuding a strong defensive aura.

Looking at this finished product, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt a deep sense of accomplishment.

"Qing Shuang, we did it," Luo Chen's voice carried a trace of tremor, one of excitement and pride.

Qing Shuang smiled and nodded, her eyes also shining with tears, "Yes, Luo Chen, this is the result of our joint efforts."

As time went by, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's artifact refining skills became increasingly sophisticated, and the magic artifacts they crafted began to gain attention in the Cultivation Realm.

Their reputation gradually spread, with many cultivators coming to seek magic artifacts crafted by their hands.
