Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood Chapter 1932 - 953: Southwest Direction, Qingyun Mountain Ra
Luo Qingchen briefly recounted his recent experiences, leaving the two won shocked and filled with lingering fear.
"Are those star map fragnts still with you?" Lin Wan’er asked, as it pertained to whether they could find their way back to the Sect.
Luo Qingchen took out the five dark bronze tal fragnts from his bosom: "They’re all here. We need to quickly find a safe place for to recover, and then study these star map fragnts to find the direction to Qingyun Sect."
"Yes!" Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan nodded in unison.
After the three from Qingmu Sect fled in a panic, Luo Qingchen and the others did not linger. Although the forest was vast, there was no telling if Qingmu Sect would return or summon stronger cultivators.
"Luo big brother, are you alright?" Lin Wan’er supported Luo Qingchen, her brows furrowed with a hint of concern. He had just forcefully activated the Chaotic Power, though it deterred the opponents, his face paled significantly.
Luo Qingchen waved his hand, indicating it was not a big deal: "I’m fine, just a bit exhausted. We need to find a completely safe place as soon as possible, I need ti to recover, and anwhile, study those star map fragnts."
Su Xiaowan eagerly affird: "Yes, yes, yes! Luo big brother, you quickly take a good rest! Leave finding the place to ! My nose is really sensitive!" As she said this, she amusingly sniffed around like an expert, drawing a smile from Lin Wan’er.
After wandering in the woods for about half a day, Su Xiaowan suddenly pointed excitedly at a cliff wall covered by dense vines: "Luo big brother, Wan’er sister, look there!"
As they parted the hanging vines, a deep cave entrance appeared. The entrance was not large, only allowing one to enter while bending, but inside was rather spacious, with decent air circulation, and most importantly, very concealed.
"Not bad, this is very suitable." Luo Qingchen nodded in satisfaction.
Upon entering the cave, Lin Wan’er carefully took out so insect-repelling herbs and scattered them at the entrance and corners, while Su Xiaowan fetched a glowing crystal stone from her storage bag for illumination. The girl’s storage bag seed filled with all sorts of oddities, always useful in critical monts.
Settling down the still unconscious Bai Ling’er, Luo Qingchen sat cross-legged and consud several dark blue Spirit Water fruits. The cool and pure spiritual power dissolved and nourished his dried ridians. The Chaos Technique autonomously operated, slowly yet steadily absorbing the fruit’s energy and repairing the damaged essence.
Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan quietly acted as protectors nearby, not daring to disturb him.
Unable to stay idle, Su Xiaowan whispered to Lin Wan’er: "Wan’er sister, do you think Luo big brother will recover well this ti? What are the star map fragnts used for? When can we find the way back to Qingyun Sect?"
Lin Wan’er placed her fingertip on her lips, signaling silence, and softly replied: "Don’t rush, Luo big brother knows what to do. We can only trust him, protect Ling’er, and ourselves."
Su Xiaowan nodded vaguely, her eyes wandering to the dark bronze tal fragnts in front of Luo Qingchen, curious about these direction-guiding treasures.
Two hours later, Luo Qingchen slowly opened his eyes, a brief flash of sharp light in them. The Spirit Water fruit’s dicinal power had been fully absorbed, the Chaotic Power restored to about sixty percent, and his complexion much rosier.
"Luo big brother, you’re awake!" Su Xiaowan imdiately approached, full of anticipation.
Luo Qingchen smiled slightly and picked up a star map fragnt, addressing the two won: "Let try to see if more clues can be gleaned from these fragnts."
He laid out the five fragnts in order before him, attempting to infuse them with Chaotic Power. The ancient runes on the fragnts faintly brightened, then quickly dimd, as if sensing sothing but unable to fully activate due to insufficient energy or incorrect thod.
"Strange..." Luo Qingchen furrowed his brow, "These runes seem to require a more refined or specific energy for guidance."
Recalling the resonance Su Xiaowan’s Turtle Shell had with these runes at the core of the Returning Ruins, he looked at Su Xiaowan: "Xiaowan, can your Turtle Shell connect with these fragnts?"
Su Xiaowan promptly presented the Turtle Shell she was holding dear. It was still dim, its cracks unhealed, clearly having consud too much energy at the World Gate and yet to recover.
"Luo big brother, it seems... there’s no reaction from it," Su Xiaowan said disappointedly, fiddling with the Turtle Shell.
Luo Qingchen pondered for a mont, recalling the ancient sword intent sensed on the Swamp Hills’ stone wall and the "coordinate traction" information on the tal fragnts.
"Maybe they need to be reassembled?" His heart stirred as he examined the fracture lines of the five fragnts. Though neat, they varied in shape, not allowing simple assembly.
Lin Wan’er quietly observed and abruptly suggested: "Luo big brother, see the runes on these fragnts, though not identical, they appear to all vaguely point towards a core. Moreover, their size and curvature could form an irregular circle, or perhaps... part of a star disc?"
Luo Qingchen’s eyes lit up at her suggestion: "Wan’er makes a good point!"
Following Lin Wan’er’s idea, he tried combining the five fragnts in different arrangents. The fragnts seed to possess a peculiar attraction, producing a faint resonance when two correct breaks drew close.
After several attempts, the five fragnts finally pieced together in a strange sequence, forming a palm-sized, irregular-edged miniature star disc. The seams between them pulsed with ancient runes, emitting a slight starlight aura.
"It worked!" Su Xiaowan exclaid joyfully.
Luo Qingchen took a deep breath, cautiously infusing the miniature star disc with Chaotic Power once more. This ti, the disc’s response was vastly different!
Buzz!
A soft hum emitted, the runes on the star disc instantly illuminated, as strands of faint starlight erged from between the symbols, weaving above the disc to gradually form a vague, three-dinsional star map. Amidst the map, countless light points shimred, with several dim star trails pointing towards a specific direction.
At the corner of the star map, near a relatively clear light point, a few ancient words appeared—"Southwest, Qingyun Mountain Range, three thousand miles."
"Southwest! Qingyun Mountain Range!" Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan simultaneously exclaid in excitent.
Luo Qingchen also felt relieved, now having a clearer direction. However, the "three thousand miles," in the vast Cultivation Realm, was rely an approximate distance, concealing unknown numbers of mountains and dangerous crossings.
Moreover, the star map seed incomplete, with many areas vague and indistinct, clearly needing additional fragnts to complete.
At this mont, the star map suddenly flickered violently, as the forming starlight quickly dimd, and the miniature star disc reverted to its original understated form.
"It seems activating this star map requires a substantial energy expenditure, and we still possess too few fragnts." Luo Qingchen contemplated while putting the star disc away.
Su Xiaowan, however, was excitedly beside herself: "How wonderful! We know the direction! Luo big brother, when do we set off?"
Luo Qingchen, seeing her eagerness, couldn’t help but smile: "No need to rush imdiately. Heading southwest for three thousand miles is a long journey, and we’re unfamiliar with this region, requiring thorough preparation. Plus..." he glanced at the still unconscious Bai Ling’er, "Ling’er isn’t in a state suitable for prolonged travel. Let us first rest here for a few days, I will return to peak condition, and then explore the surrounding area to devise a safe travel route."
"Yes, Luo big brother is right," Lin Wan’er agreed, "We’re new arrivals, and must proceed with extre caution."
Though impatient, Su Xiaowan understood Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan’er made sense, so she obediently nodded. Her eyes twinkled mischievously as she suddenly leaned close to Luo Qingchen: "Luo big brother, when will my Turtle Shell be as impressive as this star map fragnt? It rescued us several tis before!"
