Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood Chapter 1944 - 959: Qingmu Sect Supreme Elder? (2)

"Huff... huff... Did we shake them off?" Su Xiaowan plopped down on the ground, gasping heavily, her face pale with lingering fear. The scene just now, with the teor Spider unleashing its power, chasing that arrogant group of Zhao Family cultivators all over the place, was truly thrilling.

Lin Wan’er was also still shaken, leaning against a rock while regulating her chaotic spiritual power, she softly said, "Zhao Mingyu has quite a few strong ones by his side, including two at the Golden Core Interdiate Stage. Though the teor Spider is mighty, they might escape at a cost. We can’t let our guard down."

Luo Qingchen nodded. He knew better than anyone the power of the Zhao Family and Zhao Mingyu’s vengefulness. Today’s feud was one of life and death. Sitting cross-legged, he swallowed a few elixirs and began restoring his depleted chaotic power. The forced activation of the Star Map fragnt earlier, triggering a strange phenonon, had drained him greatly, leaving his dantian nearly dry.

The bronze disc composed of six Star Map fragnts now lay dimly in his hand, with the patterns on it appearing clearer.

"Luo Bro, that move you did just now was amazing! It’s a stroke of genius!" Su Xiaowan recovered from her stupor, her eyes sparkling with admiration as she looked at Luo Qingchen. "How did you think of luring that big spider over?"

Luo Qingchen opened his eyes, a trace of fatigue in them, but more sharpness: "The Star Map fragnt already resonated with the Star Force of the teorite Pit. I took a gamble, using it as a lure to redirect the spider’s rage onto Zhao Mingyu and his team. Luckily, it worked."

In truth, it was only at the last mont that inspiration struck him. When he pieced all the fragnts together and infused them with essence blood and chaotic power, he vaguely felt that this assembled Star Disc had so "pulling" and "locating" properties. It could not only attract Star Force but also vaguely point to energy sources. He took a risk and directed the pulling force toward the raging spider at the bottom of the ravine.

"This Star Map fragnt is truly a treasure!" Su Xiaowan picked up the bronze disc, turning it over fondly.

Lin Wan’er focused on practical matters: "Luo Bro, what should we do next? The teorite Pit is full of dangers, and the Zhao Family will definitely continue hunting us."

Luo Qingchen pondered for a mont and said, "First, we restore our strength, then study the Star Map. Now that we have six fragnts, we might get clearer guidance."

Having decided, the three of them rested in the mountain grove temporarily. Su Xiaowan was on guard duty, searching for edible wild fruits, while Lin Wan’er carefully tended to the still-unconscious Bai Ling’er, and Luo Qingchen concentrated on recovering.

Bai Ling’er’s condition seed to have improved a bit. Nourished by the Seven-Star Grass, and having absorbed so of the pure Star Power inadvertently dispersed during Luo Qingchen’s wielding of Star Force earlier, her face regained a trace of rosiness, and her breathing seed stronger. Lin Wan’er even sensed a faint, pure dragon energy pulse when she approached Bai Ling’er.

"Ling’er, please wake up soon, okay? Brother Luo and Sister Wan’er are very worried about you." Su Xiaowan brought so bright red berries back, gently rubbing the largest, sweetest one on Bai Ling’er’s lips, hoping to feed her so juice.

Several hours later, Luo Qingchen slowly opened his eyes, the glint in them quickly fading. With the help of elixirs and the Chaos Technique, his chaotic power had mostly recovered, and his injuries had stabilized.

He took the bronze disc made up of the Star Map fragnts from Su Xiaowan and infused chaotic power into it again.

Buzz!

The bronze disc shone brightly, projecting a far clearer three-dinsional star map. On it, countless stars twinkled, outlining mysterious trajectories, with one particularly bright spot marking their current position in the teorite Pit region.

In the southwestern part of the Star Map, an image of a mountain range appeared clearly, with three ancient seal characters slowly erging above it—"Qingyun Mountain."

"Qingyun Mountain! It’s the Qingyun Sect!" Lin Wan’er exclaid in surprise.

Su Xiaowan excitedly leaned in for a better look: "That’s great! We finally know where the Qingyun Sect is!"

Luo Qingchen’s gaze fell on the path from the teorite Pit to the Qingyun Mountain Range. Several nodes along the path were specially marked, with one node not too far from their current location marked as "Luofeng Slope."

And beside "Luofeng Slope," there was a small, almost imperceptible red skull mark, emitting a hint of ominous aura.

"This path... doesn’t seem safe." Luo Qingchen frowned slightly.

"No matter what, at least we have a clear direction," Lin Wan’er said. "We should leave the teorite Pit as soon as possible to avoid unforeseen troubles."

Just then, an unexpected change occurred!

In Luo Qingchen’s arms, the long-dormant turtle shell suddenly trembled slightly, emitting a scorching warning!

"Danger!" Luo Qingchen’s expression changed as he jumped up, his Divine Sense spreading instantly.

Almost simultaneously, dozens of powerful auras surrounded the mountain grove from all directions, a few of which were at the Golden Core Refining Stage, and one even hinted at a Nascent Soul’s unique pressure!

"Luo Qingchen my friend, it’s been a while," a slightly old but playful voice ca from above the mountain grove.

The three looked up to see an elderly man with white hair and youthful features, wearing a blue Taoist robe and exuding an immortal air, standing with his hands behind his back atop a giant rock, smiling down at them. Behind him stood a dozen cultivators in uniform attire, each with a strong presence and impressive cultivation.

Their attire unmistakably belonged to... the Qingmu Sect disciples!

The leading elder, whom Luo Qingchen didn’t recognize, but judging by the terrifying pressure he exuded, was at least at the Nascent Soul Initial Realm!

"People from the Qingmu Sect? Why are they here?" Su Xiaowan was shocked.

Lin Wan’er’s expression was serious. She could tell that this group of Qingmu Sect cultivators was not here for a friendly visit, especially the leading elder, who gave her an even greater sense of pressure than the teor Spider earlier.

Luo Qingchen’s heart rang with alarm. The Qingmu Sect’s presence here was no coincidence. Rembering the few Qingmu Sect disciples he had scared off earlier and the skull mark beside "Luofeng Slope" on the Star Map, he had a bad premonition.

The white-haired elder’s gaze swept over the three, lingering on the bronze disc made of Star Map fragnts in Luo Qingchen’s hand for a mont. His eyes flashed with a trace of undisguisable interest as he smilingly said, "Heh, I am Mu Qingxuan, Supre Elder of the Qingmu Sect. I heard that you possess a rare treasure capable of drawing upon the forces of the heavens and earth, and I, too, am very intrigued. Might you consider lending this treasure to for a closer look? Rest assured, our Qingmu Sect would surely compensate you generously."

Though he spoke politely, the undeniable implication in his tone and the covetous gazes of the surrounding Qingmu Sect disciples revealed their true intent.

Luo Qingchen sneered inwardly. This old man is even more hypocritical than Zhao Mingyu. A re request to borrow it? It was clearly a guise for seizing it!

"You jest, elder," Luo Qingchen replied calmly, neither humble nor arrogant. "This item was obtained through my serendipity and is tied to my very life; it is difficult to part with."

Mu Qingxuan’s smile faded slightly: "Oh? So, you’re not giving this old man any face?"

The atmosphere in the mountain grove instantly beca tense and explosive.

Luo Qingchen knew that an even more dangerous battle than before was inevitable. He quietly transmitted a ssage to Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan: "Prepare to break out, the target is southwest, toward Luofeng Slope! Perhaps there lies our chance!"

On the Star Map, the skull mark by Luofeng Slope was ominous, but sotis, within desperation lies survival!
