Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood

Finally, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang arrived at the city gate.

They glanced back at the city they had devoted countless efforts to, their hearts filled with emotion.

"Let's go." Luo Chen said softly.

"Yes, it's time." Qing Shuang replied.

The two walked out of the city gates side by side, embarking on a new journey.

Their silhouettes in the afterglow of the sunset appeared particularly resolute, as if heralding that although the road ahead was full of unknowns, they would face it fearlessly and advance courageously.

...

As time passed.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

By this time, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang had already left the city far behind.

Initially, they planned to head to the next city.

However, as they walked, they were suddenly drawn to some small commotions along the way.

"You little thief, hold it!"

A man shouted loudly as he chased a short but fast-moving man in black.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, understanding that this was not their duty per se, but as cultivators, they couldn't ignore the injustice before them.

Luo Chen nodded slightly, and Qing Shuang understood his meaning.

"Let's go take a look." Qing Shuang said softly.

The two quickly caught up and soon reached the pursuer.

Luo Chen blocked the path of the man in black, while Qing Shuang stopped the pursuer.

"Brother, what happened?" Luo Chen politely inquired of the pursuer.

The pursuer, panting heavily, pointed at the man in black and said, "This person has stolen my goods, and I'm trying to apprehend him."

The man in black, looking innocent, argued, "I didn't steal anything, I was just passing by, but he insisted it was me who stole."

Luo Chen looked at the two, understanding that matters might not be as simple as they seemed.

He turned to the man in black and asked gently, "Why are you running?"

The man in black hesitated, finally speaking, "I... I'm just scared, I was wrongly accused before, so whenever someone chases me, I instinctively run."

Qing Shuang's heart softened upon hearing this, knowing there were many hidden sorrows in this world.

She turned to the pursuer, her tone calm, "Brother, can you tell us what your goods are?"

The pursuer hesitated for a moment and eventually admitted, "It's a batch of herbs. I'm a medicine trader, and these herbs are very important to me."

Luo Chen nodded, then turned to the man in black, "Can you prove your innocence?"

The man in black took out a cloth bundle from his pocket, revealing some dried herbs inside, "These are what I picked myself. I'm a medicine gatherer and was planning to sell these herbs."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang examined both sets of herbs carefully and found that although they were similar in type, the man in black's herbs were of noticeably higher quality.

Luo Chen made his judgment and turned to the pursuer, "Brother, although your herbs are valuable, the medicine gatherer's herbs are of better quality. Perhaps you could sit down and talk to see if there's any misunderstanding."

The pursuer listened to Luo Chen's words and also calmed down. He examined the man in black's herbs closely and realized they were indeed as Luo Chen said.

Realizing he might have misunderstood, he apologized to the man in black.

The man in black accepted the apology, and the two eventually reached a reconciliation.

The medicine gatherer agreed to sell some of his herbs to the trader, who, in turn, paid the appropriate fee.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt gratified seeing the two reconcile.

They knew that although the journey of cultivation was long, every time they helped others, it was an enhancement to their own cultivation.

"Thank you both for your help." The trader said gratefully.

"No need to thank us, it's what we should do." Luo Chen responded with a smile.

Qing Shuang added, "I hope you both have smooth journeys ahead and no more misunderstandings."

After saying goodbye to the two, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang continued on their path to the next city.

They knew that such interludes might occur frequently on their journey, but as long as they upheld justice and sincerely helped others, their path of cultivation would become brighter.

As the sun set, their shadows lengthened in the golden afterglow, their hearts filled with anticipation for the future and a firm belief in their cultivation.

No matter how rugged the road ahead might be, they would move forward together, for they believed that as long as there was light in their hearts, nothing was insurmountable.

With the night falling, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang found a quiet inn to rest for the night.

The inn was bustling, with people from various backgrounds exchanging their stories.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang found a corner to sit in, ordered some simple meals, and quietly listened to the conversations around them.

"Have you heard? A fierce demonic beast has appeared in the forest outside the city recently and has injured several people." A weathered traveler said.

"Yes, I've heard too, that demonic beast is said to have three heads and six arms, extremely ferocious." Another person, looking like a merchant, agreed.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt a stir in their hearts upon hearing this.

They knew that as cultivators, it was also their responsibility to protect the people from the harm of demonic beasts.

They decided to head to the forest early the next morning to see if they could help rid the people of this menace.

As night deepened, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang returned to their rooms to rest.

They knew that tomorrow would be a new beginning, and they would face new challenges.

But no matter how difficult the road ahead might be, they would bravely continue on, because they believed that as long as there was love and justice in their hearts, nothing could hinder their steps forward.

Early the next morning, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang rose early, had a simple breakfast, and set out towards the forest.

The forest was shrouded in mist and lush with trees, but the two of them were filled with vigilance.

As they ventured into the forest, they soon heard strange roars.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, knowing that the demonic beast was nearby.

They cautiously approached the source of the sound and finally saw the legendary demonic beast in an open area.

The demonic beast indeed had three heads and six arms, as menacing as the rumors described.

It was attacking a group of hunters, who, despite their efforts, were clearly no match for the beast.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang hesitated not for a moment and immediately joined the battle.

Luo Chen wielded his longsword while Qing Shuang showcased her exquisite swordsmanship; the two worked in perfect harmony, quickly grabbing the beast's attention.

The battle was intensely fierce, and the beast's immense power made each attack sound like thunder.

But with their superior martial skills and seamless collaboration, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gradually gained the upper hand.

Finally, in a masterful move, Luo Chen pierced the beast's heart with his sword, while Qing Shuang severed its head.

The beast let out a harrowing scream, fell to the ground, and dissipated into a wisp of black smoke.

The hunters, seeing the beast vanquished, came forward to thank Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

The two humbly responded before taking their leave.

They knew that they would encounter many such events on their journey of cultivation, but as long as they stood for justice and earnestly helped others, their path would become ever brighter.

As night descended once more, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang found a quiet inn to rest.

They knew that tomorrow would be another new day, and they would continue their journey, continue their cultivation, and continue to help those in need.

In the inn's room, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang sat facing each other, their eyes filled with determination and anticipation.

"Qing Shuang, we've helped many people, but the path of cultivation is long. Have you ever regretted it?" Luo Chen asked softly.

Qing Shuang smiled gently and replied, "Luo Chen, I've never regretted it. Although we often face danger, each person we help and each problem we solve allows me to feel my growth, a kind of growth that no cultivation can replace."

Luo Chen nodded, knowing that Qing Shuang spoke from the heart.
