Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood Chapter 1962 - 968: Reviewing Sect Archives (Part 2)

He sat down on the chair, his expression grave.

"Fang Zhenxiong is greedy and domineering, and quite powerful. Our enmity with him will likely lead to endless troubles."

"Then what should we do?"

Su Xiaowan asked worriedly.

"For every soldier that cos, we’ll match with a general; for every water that cos, we’ll match with earth."

Luo Qingchen smiled faintly.

"However, we also cannot sit still and wait for death; we must take the initiative."

"What plan do you have?"

Lin Wan’er asked.

"Firstly, I need to quickly examine the sect’s ancient texts and decipher the secret of the Star Map fragnts."

Luo Qingchen analyzed.

"This is not only to improve our strength but also to gain more leverage."

He paused and continued:

"Secondly, we need to build our own network within the sect. Elder Xiao and Elder Qin are quite friendly towards us, and we can cultivate deeper relationships."

"And what else?"

Su Xiaowan looked at him expectantly.

"Most importantly, we must show our value."

A glint flashed in Luo Qingchen’s eyes.

"The sect is currently facing internal and external troubles; it is our chance to prove ourselves. As long as we can achieve rit for the sect, who would dare to underestimate us?"

The three were discussing when footsteps suddenly ca from outside the courtyard.

Luo Qingchen signaled the two won to remain alert, while he walked to the door.

"Brother Luo, I am Sun Haoran, here to pay you a visit."

A slightly ingratiating voice ca from outside the door.

Luo Qingchen smiled slightly and opened the door to welco the guest.

Sun Haoran stood at the door with a full smile, followed by two disciples.

"Brother Sun, your esteed presence brings light to my humble abode."

Luo Qingchen said politely.

Sun Haoran hurriedly waved his hand.

"Not at all, it’s my fault for being abrupt."

He walked into the courtyard, his gaze covertly sweeping the surroundings.

"I heard Brother Luo is back, so I ca to offer my congratulations."

"Thank you, Brother Sun, for your concern."

Luo Qingchen invited him to sit down, but his heart secretly remained vigilant.

This Sun Haoran had harsh words for him at the mountain gate, and now suddenly changing his face, he must be up to sothing.

"Brother Luo, to be honest, I’m here to ask for a favor."

Sun Haoran rubbed his hands together, looking a bit nervous.

"Oh? What does Brother Sun need?"

Luo Qingchen asked calmly.

"It’s like this, I heard that you have profound knowledge of cultivation techniques, and I’d like to seek your guidance."

A cunning light flashed in Sun Haoran’s eyes.

"Would you be willing to teach ?"

Luo Qingchen inwardly sneered, clearly realizing his attempt to extract the secrets of his cultivation technique.

"Brother Sun, you flatter , I have just been sowhat lucky, I don’t possess any profound cultivation techniques."

He declined tactfully.

"You’re too modest!"

Sun Haoran persisted.

"Being able to break through to the Interdiate Stage of the Golden Core in such a short ti is no re coincidence. If you are willing to enlighten , I will reward you heavily!"

As he spoke, he took out an Elixir from his Storage Bag.

"This is a third-grade Condensing Truth Pill, which can help stabilize the foundation for a Golden Core Stage cultivator, consider it a token of my appreciation."

Luo Qingchen took a glance at the Elixir and couldn’t help but shake his head internally.

This Sun Haoran is really naive, thinking that a third-grade Elixir can extract his secret?

"I appreciate Brother Sun’s kind intentions, but the transmission of cultivation techniques is too significant to impart."

He declined courteously.

Sun Haoran’s face darkened slightly but quickly restored his smile.

"You’re right, Brother Luo, it was presumptuous of ."

He got up, ready to leave.

"In that case, I won’t disturb you any longer. By the way, you should be careful tomorrow, I’ve heard that the Law Enforcent Hall plans to conduct a ’routine check’ on you."

After those aningful words, Sun Haoran left with his companions.

Luo Qingchen watched them depart, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Brother Luo, this Sun Haoran obviously harbors ill intentions."

Su Xiaowan said indignantly.

"And that ’routine check’ is clearly a threat to you!"

"It’s alright."

Luo Qingchen was unconcerned.

"Since they want to play, we’ll play along with them."

The next morning, as Luo Qingchen was practicing with his Longsword in the courtyard, disciples from the Law Enforcent Hall arrived to summon him.

"Luo Qingchen, by the order of the Law Enforcent Hall, co quickly to undergo an inspection!"

Leading them was an Initial Realm Golden Core Stage cultivator, his deanor arrogant.

Luo Qingchen set down his Longsword and said calmly:

"Since it’s the sect’s regulation, I will certainly comply."

The Law Enforcent Hall is located on the east side of the Qingyun Sect, a solemn and majestic complex.

Luo Qingchen was brought to the main hall, where he saw Fang Zhenxiong sitting at the head, alongside several elders of the Law Enforcent Hall.

"Luo Qingchen, you have arrived."

Fang Zhenxiong sneered.

"According to the sect rules, all returning disciples must undergo an inspection. Do you have any objections?"

"The disciple will naturally cooperate."

Luo Qingchen responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Very well."

Fang Zhenxiong nodded with satisfaction.

"First, hand over all the storage bags on you. We need to inspect them one by one."

Luo Qingchen frowned slightly.

"Elder Fang, this seems to be beyond the scope of a routine inspection?"

"Hmph! What right do you have to question?"

Fang Zhenxiong reprimanded sternly.

"Hurry and hand them over, or don’t bla us for being impolite!"

Luo Qingchen inwardly sneered, this old fox finally revealed his true face.

"Since Elder Fang insists, the disciple has no choice but to comply."

He unfastened the storage bag from his waist and handed it over.

Fang Zhenxiong eagerly examined it. Upon seeing the various heavenly treasures inside, a greedy light flickered in his eyes.

"These items have unknown origins, so they will be temporarily confiscated!"

He said righteously.

"We will determine what to do after verifying their origins."

Luo Qingchen felt a fury burning inside, but he maintained a calm exterior.

"Elder Fang, these were obtained by the disciple through many hardships. How can they be confiscated at will?"

"Hmph! Who knows how you obtained them?"

Fang Zhenxiong said dismissively.

"Perhaps they were stolen from others!"

"Elder Fang is mistaken."

A dignified voice suddenly ca from outside the hall.

Everyone turned to look and saw Elder Xiao slowly walk in.

"Elder Xiao? What brings you here?"

Fang Zhenxiong’s expression changed slightly.

"I heard you were conducting a ’routine inspection’ on Luo Qingchen, so I’ve co to observe and learn."

Elder Xiao said indifferently.

"I wonder which sect rule Elder Fang is relying on to confiscate a disciple’s personal belongings?"

Fang Zhenxiong’s face darkened, and he stamred:

"This... it’s for the sake of the sect’s safety..."

"Sect safety?"

Elder Xiao chuckled coldly.

"In my opinion, it looks more like a personal vendetta!"

The confrontation between the two made the atmosphere tense.

Luo Qingchen saw the opportunity and spoke at the right ti:

"Two elders, I have a suggestion."

"Let’s hear it."

Elder Xiao gestured for him to continue.

"Since Elder Fang doubts the legitimacy of what’s obtained by the disciple, why not allow the disciple to atone for his supposed misdeeds by serving the sect."

Luo Qingchen spoke calmly and steadily.

"I heard that the sect is troubled by black-clothed cultivators; the disciple is willing to help investigate."

A sinister glint flashed in Fang Zhenxiong’s eyes.

This was exactly what he wanted!

"Good! Since you volunteered, I will grant your wish!"

He sneered sinisterly.

"Just in ti, the Qingyun Spirit Mine to the southeast was attacked. Go investigate it thoroughly. If you can achieve success, this matter will be written off!"

Elder Xiao frowned, suspecting deceit.

But Luo Qingchen had already agreed.

"The disciple accepts the order!"

After leaving the Law Enforcent Hall, Elder Xiao caught up.

"Luo Qingchen, the Qingyun Spirit Mine is fraught with dangers. Be careful."

He said in a low voice.

"Fang Zhenxiong, that old fox, clearly wants to use soone else to do his dirty work."

"Thank you, Elder Xiao, for the warning. The disciple understands."

Luo Qingchen said gratefully.

"If he really wants dead, we’ll see who prevails in the end!"

The Qingyun Spirit Mine is located three hundred miles southeast of the Qingyun Sect, one of the sect’s important spirit stone production sites.

Luo Qingchen, Lin Wan’er, and Su Xiaowan rode a Cloud Beast, rushing forward.

The scenery along the way beca increasingly desolate, and the air was filled with a faint hint of blood.

"Brother Luo, the spiritual energy here is so chaotic."

Su Xiaowan said with a frown.

"Plus, it feels as if sothing is watching us from the shadows."
