After returning to Tianji Pavilion, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang each returned to their rooms and began to practice quietly.
In the dead of night, Luo Chen suddenly felt a powerful spiritual wave. He opened his eyes, walked out of the room, and found Qing Shuang standing outside.
"You feel it too?" Qingshuang asked in a low voice.
Luo Chen nodded, "This fluctuation in spiritual power is not trivial. Let's go and have a look."
The two followed the direction of the spiritual energy fluctuations and came to a secret room in Tianji Pavilion.
I saw light shining in the secret room, and Zhao Chengzheng was sitting cross-legged in the center, surrounded by powerful spiritual power.
"Senior Zhao is breaking through the realm?" Qing Shuang said in surprise.
A hint of admiration flashed in Luo Chen's eyes, "Senior Zhao's cultivation is truly unfathomable."
The two of them did not disturb and stood aside quietly until Zhao Cheng's breakthrough was over.
Zhao Cheng slowly opened his eyes and smiled slightly when he saw Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.
"You two, you are here at the right time. I have just made a breakthrough and I have some insights that I want to share with you."
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were delighted and quickly stepped forward to listen.
Zhao Cheng recounted his breakthrough experiences and insights one by one, and Luo Chen and Qing Shuang listened with fascination.
Time passed unconsciously, and when Zhao Cheng finished speaking, the sky was already slightly bright.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang bowed deeply to Zhao Cheng to express their gratitude.
"You two, practice well, there is still a long way to go in the future." Zhao Chengyu said seriously.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang nodded firmly, knowing that their journey of cultivation had just begun.
Wake up to dawn.
In a blink of an eye, the second day came.
After Luo Chen and Qing Shuang woke up, they walked out of Tianji Pavilion and wandered around the streets of the city.
Today's city streets seem to be much more prosperous than yesterday's.
Even the number of practitioners walking on the street was much higher than usual.
Luochen and Qingshuang walked among the bustling crowd, and their eyes were attracted by the dazzling array of stalls on the roadside from time to time.
Qingshuang became interested in an exquisite dragon-shaped jade carving. She whispered to Luo Chen: "Luo Chen, look at that dragon-shaped jade carving. The carving is really fine."
Luo Chen followed Qing Shuang's gaze and saw the jade sculpture exuding a soft luster in the sun. The dragon's body was circling, lifelike, as if it would fly away in the clouds and mist at any time.
"It's indeed good. This carving should be made by a famous artist." Luo Chen said approvingly.
Qingshuang's eyes showed a look of love. She walked lightly to the stall, picked up the jade carving and looked at it carefully.
The stall owner was an old man. When he saw Qingshuang's interest in jade carvings, he enthusiastically introduced it: "Girl, this jade carving is made of high-quality Hetian jade. It is not only beautiful, but also has auspicious meanings. ”
Luo Chen stood aside and watched Qing Shuang talking to the old man, and couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth in his heart.
He knew that although Qingshuang seemed indifferent on weekdays, she was very delicate inside and always had an indescribable love for beautiful things.
"Luochen, what do you think?" Qingshuang turned around and asked Luochen for his opinion.
Luochen smiled slightly, "If you like it, then buy it. It's rare to find something you like, so don't hesitate."
Qingshuang nodded and asked the old man for the price.
After some haggling, Qingshuang finally bought the jade carving at a reasonable price.
She carefully put away the jade carving, with a satisfied smile on her face.
The two continued to wander on the street, and Luo Chen suddenly noticed that many people gathered in front of a shop, seemingly watching something.
"Qingshuang, it seems to be very lively over there. Let's go and take a look." Luo Chen suggested.
Qingshuang readily agreed, and the two squeezed through the crowd and arrived in front of the store.
I saw rows of exquisite magical instruments placed in the shop window, each one exuding faint spiritual power fluctuations.
"These magical weapons look extraordinary." Luo Chen said in a low voice.
Qingshuang's eyes were also attracted by these magical artifacts. She asked Luo Chen softly: "Should we go in and have a look?"
Luochen nodded, and the two of them walked into the store.
The owner of the shop was a middle-aged man. When he saw Luo Chen and Qing Shuang coming in, he greeted them enthusiastically.
"Hello, two guests, these magical instruments are all selected and refined by me personally. Each one has its own uniqueness." The shop owner proudly introduced.
Luochen and Qingshuang, under the guidance of the shop owner, inspected these magical artifacts one by one.
Qingshuang became interested in a small amulet. She picked it up and felt the gentle spiritual power contained in it.
"This amulet seems to be able to enhance defense." Qing Shuang said to Luo Chen.
Luo Chen nodded, "Indeed, the spiritual power fluctuations of this amulet are very stable, so it should be a good choice."
Seeing that Qingshuang was interested in the amulet, the shop owner began to introduce the origin and efficacy of the amulet in detail.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang listened and understood more about this amulet.
Finally, Qingshuang decided to buy the amulet.
She paid the money and hung the amulet carefully around her waist.
The two thanked the shop owner and left the shop.
"With this talisman, I will have more protection when encountering danger in the future." Qingshuang said with satisfaction.
Luo Chen responded with a smile: "Yes, the road to spiritual practice is full of unknowns, and it is always good to be more prepared."
The two continued to wander around the city, and before they knew it, they came to a teahouse.
A string of wind chimes hangs at the door of the teahouse, swaying gently in the wind, making a sweet sound.
"Luochen, let's go in and sit down, have a cup of tea and take a rest." Qingshuang suggested.
Luo Chen readily agreed, and the two of them walked into the teahouse.
The teahouse is very elegantly decorated, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of tea.
They found a seat by the window and ordered a pot of good spiritual tea.
The tea was served quickly, and the two chatted while sipping the tea.
Luochen suddenly thought of something and said to Qingshuang: "Qingshuang, have you ever thought about why we are here?"
Qingshuang was stunned for a moment, and then replied softly: "Maybe, this is fate."
Luochen nodded, "Maybe, but I think all this is the result of our own choices. We chose to leave our hometown and embark on this path of cultivation."
Qingshuang was silent for a while, and then said: "You are right, it is our own choice, but no matter what, I am very happy to have you by my side."
Luo Chen smiled slightly, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knows that no matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as they can support each other, nothing is impossible.
The two spent a peaceful afternoon in the teahouse until the sun set before they got up and left.
On the way back to Tianji Pavilion, both Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt an unprecedented sense of calm and satisfaction.
"Tomorrow, we will start a new practice." Luo Chen said softly.
Qingshuang nodded, "Yes, every day is a new beginning."
As night falls, the lights in Tianji Pavilion are brightly lit.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang returned to their rooms and began their night practice.
Surrounded by spiritual power, their souls were purified and their cultivation levels were steadily improved.
In another part of Tianji Pavilion, Zhao Cheng was meditating with his eyes closed, a faint smile appearing on his face.
He knew that Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were both rare cultivation geniuses, and given time, they would definitely be able to go further on the path of cultivation.
It was late at night, and the entire Tianji Pavilion was immersed in silence.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's practice continues, and their hearts are filled with longing and expectations for the future.
And in this quiet night, their path of cultivation is quietly extending forward.
In the blink of an eye, another day has passed.
After Luo Chen and Qing Shuang left Tianji Pavilion, they walked towards a famous breakfast shop on the street of the city.
I heard that the breakfast at this shop is quite delicious.
Luochen and Qingshuang walked into the breakfast shop. The shop was full of people and the aroma was fragrant.
They found a seat in a corner and sat down. Qingshuang looked around curiously, while Luo Chen ordered two signature breakfasts from the waiter.
"I heard that the soy milk fried dough sticks here are particularly famous, as well as the steamed dumplings, which have thin skin and lots of fillings and are delicious." Luo Chen said to Qing Shuang with a smile.
Qingshuang nodded, a trace of expectation flashing in her eyes, "I haven't eaten much before, but I finally have a chance to taste it today."
After a while, the waiter came over with steaming breakfast.
Luochen picked up a fried dough stick and took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, leaving a fragrant aroma in his mouth.
Qingshuang carefully picked up a steamed dumpling and gently took a small bite. The soup inside flowed out, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's so delicious!" Qingshuang couldn't help but praise.
Seeing Qing Shuang's satisfied look, Luo Chen felt very happy.
They chatted while eating, discussing future plans and insights into spiritual practice.
"Luochen, what do you think is the ultimate goal of our practice?" Qingshuang suddenly asked.
Luo Chen put down the chopsticks in his hand, pondered for a while, and replied: "I think the ultimate goal of practice is not only to pursue strength, but also to achieve inner peace and understanding of the world."
Qingshuang nodded thoughtfully, "You are right, power is just a means, the real purpose is to better understand yourself and the world."
The two smiled at each other and continued to enjoy this rare peaceful breakfast time.
After breakfast, they decided to take a short walk around the city.
In this way, it will be easier to eat!
But before he had gone far, Luo Chen saw a large number of practitioners, all of them seemed to be running quickly in a certain direction.
It seems that I am afraid that I will miss something if I am slow.
Luo Chen stopped a person out of curiosity.
"Excuse me, what happened? Why are so many people in a hurry?" Luo Chen asked politely.
The practitioner who was stopped was a middle-aged man. He was breathing heavily and seemed a little anxious: "Oh, don't you know? Today is the day of the city's auction. I heard that there are several very precious treasures to be auctioned. , so everyone is rushing to go.”
When Qingshuang heard the news, a trace of curiosity flashed in her eyes: "Auction? It sounds interesting. Luo Chen, should we go and have a look too?"
Luo Chen nodded and agreed with Qingshuang's suggestion: "Okay, maybe we can find treasures that are beneficial to our practice."
The two of them followed the flow of people and walked towards the auction.
The auction venue was located in a majestic building in the center of the city. Several guards in gorgeous costumes stood at the door, checking the identity and invitations of the entrants.
Although Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not have invitation letters, due to their cultivation and temperament, the guards did not hesitate and let them go.
After entering the venue, they found that it was full of people and the atmosphere was lively.
The host of the auction is a handsome middle-aged man. He stands on the stage and introduces the items to be auctioned in a loud voice: "Dear guests, today we will bring you a series of rare treasures. , every piece is carefully selected by us, I believe you will not be disappointed.”
Following the host's introduction, each treasure was presented to everyone.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were also attracted by some of the treasures, such as a magic bead that could enhance spiritual power induction, and an ancient book recording advanced cultivation methods.
Finally, they decided to bid for the ancient book.
After several rounds of fierce bidding, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang successfully bought the ancient book at a reasonable price.
They were full of expectations and wanted to study this ancient book as soon as possible to see if it could bring new enlightenment to their practice.
After the auction, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang left the venue, discussing the contents of the ancient books as they walked.
Qingshuang suddenly stopped and looked at a small shop not far away.
"Luochen, look over there, that shop seems a little unusual." Qingshuang pointed at the sign of the shop and said.
Luochen followed Qingshuang's gaze and saw that the shop's signboard said "Antiques and Curiosities", and there were some ancient items placed in the shop window, which looked quite historical.
"Let's go over and take a look." Luo Chen suggested.
The two of them walked into this antique store. The interior was decorated in an antique style, and the air was filled with a faint smell of sandalwood.
The shopkeeper is a gray-haired old man. He is sitting behind the counter, concentrating on wiping a bronze incense burner.
"Welcome, two guests." The old man raised his head and greeted with a gentle voice.
Luochen and Qingshuang nodded to the old man and then started browsing in the store.
They found that every item here seemed to contain some mysterious power, which made people want to find out.
Qingshuang picked up a strange-looking jade pendant, which was engraved with some symbols she had never seen before.
She asked the old man curiously: "Old man, is there anything special about this jade pendant?"
The old man smiled slightly, put down the incense burner in his hand, and said slowly: "This jade pendant is said to be left by a powerful person in ancient times. It can help practitioners concentrate more during meditation, and may even obtain some enlightenment in dreams. .”
After hearing this, Luo Chen's eyes flashed with interest: "This is really a rare treasure. I wonder what the price is?"
The old man pondered for a moment and quoted a price.
Luochen and Qingshuang discussed it and decided to buy this jade pendant. (End of chapter)
