Luo Chen thought for a while and replied: "When we leave Fang City and find a quiet place, I can start. Refining magic weapons requires concentration and no interference from the outside world."
Qingshuang nodded. She knew that once Luo Chen started refining the magic weapon, he would enter a state of selflessness, and nothing in the outside world would be able to affect him.
The two continued to wander around the market, and Luo Chen's eyes stopped at some stalls from time to time, looking for materials that might be useful to him.
Qingshuang accompanied him silently and occasionally made some suggestions.
Just as they were about to leave a stall, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Fellow Taoist Luochen, please stay."
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang turned around and saw a man in gorgeous clothes walking towards them quickly.
The man's face was handsome, but there was a hint of cunning in his eyes that was not easy to detect.
"I am a disciple of Xuan Shen Pavilion. I heard that fellow Taoist Luo Chen is quite famous in the world of immortal cultivation, so I came here to get to know him." The man said with a smile.
Luo Chen was slightly startled. He did not expect that people from Xuan Shen Pavilion would take the initiative to find him.
He responded politely: "It turns out that I am a fellow Taoist from Xuan Shen Pavilion. I wonder if you have any advice?"
The man smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Luochen, our Xuan Shen Pavilion appreciates your ability very much and hopes to cooperate with you. I wonder if you are willing to join our Xuan Shen Pavilion?"
Luo Chen pondered for a moment. Although he knew something about Xuan Shen Pavilion, he did not want to be bound by any organization.
He declined politely: "Thank you for the invitation, fellow Taoist, but I currently prefer to travel freely in the world of immortality and have no plans to join any organization for the time being."
The man didn't seem surprised by Luo Chen's answer. He nodded: "We respect the choice of fellow Taoist Luo Chen, but if you change your mind in the future, the door of Xuan Shen Pavilion will always be open to you."
After Luochen and Qingshuang said goodbye to the man, they continued to wander around the market.
They know that the world of immortality is full of opportunities and challenges, and they are moving step by step towards their own future.
As the sun set, Luochen and Qingshuang decided to leave Fangshi and find a quiet place to start refining magic weapons.
They know that this will be a long and challenging process, but they also believe that as long as they persevere, they will eventually achieve something.
On the way out of Fangshi, Luo Chen said to Qingshuang: "Qingshuang, thank you for always being by my side."
Qingshuang smiled and replied: "Luochen, there is no need to say thank you between you and me. No matter what the future holds, I will always be by your side."
The two looked at each other and smiled, filled with expectations for the future.
As night fell, Luochen and Qingshuang found a secluded valley.
The clear springs in the valley are gurgling and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. It is a good place for practicing and refining weapons.
Luo Chen began to prepare to refine the magic weapon, while Qingshuang protected him from the side.
In the following days, Luo Chen devoted himself wholeheartedly to refining the weapon.
He carefully blended various materials together according to the records in ancient books. After countless failures and attempts, finally a month later, a magical weapon that exuded a faint light appeared in his hands.
Luo Chen looked at the magic weapon in his hand, feeling filled with a sense of accomplishment.
He knew that this magical weapon would be a great help in his journey to immortality.
Qingshuang looked at the magic weapon in Luo Chen's hand, her eyes full of admiration: "Luo Chen, you did a great job!"
Luo Chen smiled slightly and handed the magical weapon to Qingshuang: "Qingshuang, I give this magical weapon to you. I hope it can protect you."
Qingshuang took the magic weapon and felt a warm current in her heart.
She knew that this was not just a magic weapon, but also Luo Chen's affection for her.
Qingshuang took the magic weapon and gently stroked the smooth surface, feeling the fluctuations of spiritual power contained in it.
She looked up at Luochen, her eyes full of gratitude: "Luochen, you are always so attentive, I...I don't know what to say."
Luo Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Do we need to say anything else between us? There is a tacit understanding between you and me."
Qingshuang nodded and carefully put away the magic weapon.
She knew that this magical weapon was not only a protective treasure for her, but also a testimony of Luo Chen's friendship for her.
In the following days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang continued to practice in the valley, and occasionally exchanged some practice experiences.
Luochen's love and persistence in refining weapons made Qingshuang admire him even more.
One day, Luo Chen discovered a spiritual vein in the valley, which was extremely full of spiritual power.
He excitedly said to Qingshuang: "Qingshuang, there is a spiritual vein here. If we practice here, the effect will be better."
After hearing this, Qingshuang was also very surprised: "Really? Then can we improve our cultivation faster?"
Luo Chen nodded, and the two decided to open a training place here.
They used Luo Chen's weapon refining skills to build some simple training facilities, and set up spirit gathering arrays around the spiritual veins to make the spiritual power more concentrated.
As the days passed, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's cultivation levels improved significantly.
They seemed to have found their own paradise in this valley.
However, the good times did not last long. One day, an uninvited guest broke their tranquility.
It was a man in black robe. He stood at the entrance of the valley, looking at Luo Chen and Qing Shuang with gloomy eyes.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood up warily. Luo Chen asked: "Who are you? Why did you break into our cultivation place?"
The man in black robe sneered: "I am the leader of Heifeng Village. I heard that you are practicing here, so I came here to visit you."
Qingshuang frowned slightly: "Black Wind Village? Aren't those a group of bandits who make a living by robbing? We have nothing to do with you, why do you want to visit us?"
The leader of Heifeng Village laughed loudly: "No relationship? You are practicing here and occupying our spiritual veins. Isn't this a provocation to us?"
Only then did Luo Chen and Qing Shuang understand that the leader of the Black Wind Village was here to compete for the spiritual veins.
Luo Chen said calmly: "The spiritual vein is an ownerless thing. We discovered and used it first, and it should belong to us."
The leader of Black Wind Village shook his head: "On this land, the strong are respected. If you want to continue to use this spiritual vein, you must prove that you are qualified."
Luochen knew that a battle was inevitable. He signaled Qingshuang to step back while he slowly stepped forward.
Although Qingshuang was worried, she also knew Luo Chen's strength, so she stepped aside, ready to support at any time.
The battle is about to break out, and the strength of the leader of Black Wind Village is indeed extraordinary. The long sword in his hand is waving with gusts of dark wind, which makes people shudder.
Luo Chen relied on his flexible body skills and exquisite swordsmanship to deal with them.
The two of them were going back and forth, fighting inextricably.
Qingshuang watched the battle nervously. She knew that the outcome of this battle would determine whether they could continue to practice in this valley.
As time went by, Luo Chen's swordsmanship became more and more powerful, and he seemed to have found the flaw of the leader of Black Wind Village.
After a clever dodge, Luo Chen's sword pointed directly at the throat of the leader of Black Wind Village, and the outcome seemed to be decided.
When the leader of Black Wind Village saw this, his expression changed. He knew that he was already at a disadvantage. He suddenly shouted, his spiritual power surged, and a black air burst out from his body, forming a powerful shield.
Seeing this, Luo Chen knew that the opponent was going to use a special move. He did not dare to be careless and immediately turned his sword skills to defensive. At the same time, he mobilized his spiritual power to prepare for the upcoming fierce attack.
Qingshuang watched anxiously. She knew that although Luo Chen had superb swordsmanship, facing an opponent of the level of the Black Wind Village Master, he might be injured if he was not careful.
She held the magic weapon in her hand tightly, ready to help at any time.
The Black Wind Village Master's attacks came like a violent storm, and Luo Chen's sword light flickered in the darkness, resisting the waves of attacks.
The battle between the two has entered a fierce stage, and the sound of metal collision and the roar of spiritual collision echoed in the valley.
Just when Luo Chen felt a little powerless, Qingshuang finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She shouted loudly, and the magic weapon in her hand emitted a dazzling light, turning into an arrow of light and shooting straight at the leader of Heifeng Village.
The leader of Black Wind Village was caught off guard by this sudden attack. His shield was broken by the light arrow, and his whole person was knocked back several steps.
Luo Chen seized this opportunity, dodged his figure, and pointed the tip of his sword directly at the heart of the leader of Black Wind Village.
Seeing that the defeat was certain, the leader of Black Wind Village felt a trace of unwillingness flash in his eyes, but in the end he chose to retreat.
He snorted coldly, turned around and disappeared out of the valley.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts as they watched the Black Wind Village Master leave.
They knew that this victory was hard-won, but it also made them more determined to continue practicing.
"Luochen, are you okay?" Qingshuang asked with concern.
Luochen shook his head and replied with a smile: "I'm fine, thanks to your timely action."
Qingshuang smiled softly and said: "We are partners, so naturally we have to help each other."
The two smiled at each other and continued to practice in the valley.
Soon, it was two days later.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang broke away from the state of cultivation.
A few days ago, they went to Lingbao Pavilion to use ancient swords in exchange for special materials. Lingbao Pavilion said it would take a while to find them.
I don’t know, how is it now?
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang walked side by side on the road to Lingbao Pavilion, both of them filled with expectations.
Luo Chen held the ancient sword in his hand. Although it was no longer sharp, the ancient atmosphere and historical accumulation contained in it fascinated every weapon refiner.
"Qingshuang, do you think Lingbao Pavilion can really find the materials we need?" Luo Chen asked with some anxiety.
Qingshuang patted Luo Chen's shoulder gently and comforted: "Don't worry, Lingbao Pavilion's reputation has always been very good. Since they agreed, they will definitely do their best."
Luo Chen nodded, feeling a little more settled.
They continued to move forward, passing through the bustling market, and finally arrived at the gate of Lingbao Pavilion.
The guard in front of the door recognized Luo Chen and Qing Shuang and welcomed them in respectfully.
The interior of Lingbao Pavilion is magnificently decorated, with all kinds of rare treasures displayed in exquisite display cabinets, which is dizzying for everyone.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were led to an elegant living room. Not long after, a middle-aged man in rich clothes walked in. He was the master of Lingbao Pavilion.
"Master Luochen, Miss Qingshuang, I've been waiting for a long time." The Pavilion Master said with a smile.
"Pavilion Master, you're welcome. I wonder if the materials we exchanged are ready?" Luo Chen asked eagerly.
The master of the pavilion nodded, clapped his hands, and two waiters came in holding an exquisite box.
The master of the pavilion opened the box, and inside lay several pieces of ore with a strange luster, as well as some rare herbs.
"These materials have been carefully selected by us, and I believe they will be helpful to Master Luochen's great career in weapon refining," the Pavilion Master said.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at the materials carefully, with satisfied smiles on their faces.
Luo Chen gratefully said to the Pavilion Master: "Pavilion Master, these materials are exactly what we need, thank you very much."
"Master Luochen is very polite. It is also an honor for our Lingbao Pavilion to serve you." The Pavilion Master replied.
After the transaction was completed, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang left Lingbao Pavilion with the materials.
They decided to return to the valley and start refining new magic weapons.
Along the way, the two discussed the details of the weapon refining, and their hearts were full of expectations.
After returning to the valley, Luo Chen immediately started preparing to refine the weapon.
He placed the materials one by one, then closed his eyes and concentrated, mobilized the spiritual power in his body, and began to perform the weapon refining technique.
Qingshuang assisted at the side, and the two of them cooperated tacitly, and the entire weapon refining process went very smoothly.
As time goes by, each piece of magic weapon gradually takes shape.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at the magic weapon they had refined with their own hands, and their hearts were filled with a sense of accomplishment.
They know that these magical instruments will become their most reliable partners in the future of cultivation.
However, just as they were immersed in the joy of refining the weapon, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps outside the valley.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, with an ominous premonition rising in their hearts.
They quickly put away their magic weapons, picked up their weapons, and walked out of the cave cautiously.
At the entrance of the valley, a group of minions from Black Wind Village were staring at them eagerly.
"You guys, do you want to do it again?" Qing Shuang shouted angrily.
The minions of Black Wind Village looked at each other, and one of the leaders stood up and said: "Our village leader said that the last failure was just an accident. This time, he sent us to retrieve the spiritual veins and asked you to hand over Get out all the magic weapons.”
Luo Chen sneered: "You were defeated last time, do you still want to die now?"
The minions looked fierce and drew their weapons, preparing to attack.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not show weakness, they stood side by side, ready to fight.
The battle was about to break out. Although the minions were outnumbered, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang relied on their tacit cooperation and superb martial arts to repel them one by one. Seeing this, the minions knew that they could not win, so they abandoned a few corpses and fled in confusion.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at the escaped Black Wind Village minions and felt relieved.
They knew that the threat from Black Wind Village was temporarily lifted, but they also knew that this kind of battle would not be the last.
"Luochen, what should we do next?" Qingshuang asked.
Luochen thought for a while and said: "We need to be stronger to protect ourselves." (End of Chapter)
