I wonder what it is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man smiled mysteriously: “This scroll is a treasure map said to contain the relics of a great figure from Ancient Times, filled with countless treasures but also many traps and challenges.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen’s heart was stirred. Although he had just left Seven-Star City, his desire for cultivation resources had not diminished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pondered for a moment before speaking: “Sir, why don’t you search for treasure yourself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man sighed: “I’m old and no longer have the courage of my youth. Young friend, you are young and promising. If you can obtain the treasure, it might bring a new atmosphere to the world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Luo Chen pondered silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was somewhat skeptical of the old man’s words, his desire for treasure drove him to want to investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided not to refuse immediately but instead asked tentatively: “Sir, why did you choose me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man smiled slightly: “Young friend, you have the aura of Star Force, indicating your cultivation technique is extraordinary. Moreover, I observe your appearance, and you are destined for great things in this quest for treasure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen was startled upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected the old man to detect the secret of his cultivation in the Stellar Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of contemplation, he finally made up his mind: “Sir, I am willing to give it a try, but where does this treasure map point to?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Luo Chen agree, the old man’s eyes showed a trace of appreciation: “Young friend, the location pointed by the treasure map is a place called ‘You Ming Valley,’ a perilous area that ordinary people cannot reach. But with your strength, you might have a chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen nodded, understanding it was both an opportunity and a challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to rest in the small town for a few days and prepare thoroughly before heading to You Ming Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several days later, Luo Chen bade farewell to the small town and set off on his journey to You Ming Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood that the road ahead would be filled with unknowns and dangers, but he also knew that only by constantly challenging himself could he truly grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not yet reaching the fabled You Ming Valley, Luo Chen encountered trouble on his journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old man, hand over that map that contains the chance of fortune.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You shouldn’t possess that, old thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several men dressed in black surrounded the old man, their expressions unfriendly and their eyes filled with greed and menace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen frowned, having not expected to run into such trouble shortly after leaving Seven-Star City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man seemed unsurprised by the situation and calmly said to Luo Chen: “Young friend, it seems the allure of this treasure map is not small.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen stood up, his eyes coldly sweeping over the men in black. He didn’t want to stir up trouble, but he wasn’t afraid of it either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke calmly: “Gentlemen, this old man is traveling with me. Surrounding him like this seems rather inappropriate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader of the men in black sneered: “Kid, this old fool is a swindler; the treasure map he holds is fake, don’t be fooled by him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the old man merely smiled: “Whether it is real or fake, how can you be sure?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen’s heart was stirred; although somewhat skeptical of the old man’s words, he was unwilling to give up this opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to observe the situation before making any plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Luo Chen hadn’t retreated immediately, one of the men in black drew a weapon, threatening: “Kid, if you’re smart, leave quickly. Don’t force us to act.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen’s eyes grew cold. He didn’t wish to act hastily, but he didn’t fear any challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly drew the longsword from his waist, the blade shimmering coldly in the sunlight: “I’m curious to see what you’re capable of.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A confrontation seemed inevitable, and Luo Chen gripped his sword hilt tightly, ready for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at that moment, the old man suddenly spoke: “Gentlemen, must we draw swords? The treasure map is indeed genuine, but without sufficient strength and luck, obtaining it would only bring disaster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men in black seemed somewhat swayed, but their leader remained adamant: “Old man, don’t try to fool us with words. Either hand over the treasure map or be prepared to die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Luo Chen understood that a fight was unavoidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath, preparing to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to act, the old man suddenly took out a small jade bottle from his sleeve and gently tossed it, letting it burst in mid-air, releasing a strange fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men in black were momentarily disoriented by this fragrance, their movements becoming sluggish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the opportunity, Luo Chen’s figure flickered as he rushed into the midst of the men in black, his sword light weaving swiftly between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several exchanges, the men in black fell one by one, while Luo Chen remained unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheathing his sword, he turned to the old man with a questioning look in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man smiled slightly: “Young friend, your swordsmanship is impressive. It seems choosing you was indeed a wise decision.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen nodded, his curiosity about the old man’s identity and intentions growing, but now was not the time for inquiries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to solve the immediate problem first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, we should leave here quickly. It is not wise to linger,” Luo Chen suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man nodded, and the two quickly left the small town, continuing toward You Ming Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, Luo Chen couldn’t help but ask the old man: “Sir, what method did you use just now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man smiled mysteriously: “Young friend, it was just a simple trick; the real test lies ahead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen’s heart tightened, realizing that the treasure hunt might not be as simple as he imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, he did not retreat, but instead firmed his resolve to move forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several days later, they finally arrived at the entrance of You Ming Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The valley entrance was shrouded in thick fog, with chilling winds swirling around, instilling fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen took a deep breath, knowing the real challenge was about to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, are you really sure this treasure map is correct?” Luo Chen asked again for confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man nodded: “Young friend, the treasure map is indeed correct, but You Ming Valley is full of danger. You must proceed carefully.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen nodded, gripping his sword tightly, as he stepped into You Ming Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene inside the valley was completely different from outside, with oddly shaped rocks and withered trees everywhere, the air filled with a sense of decay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They cautiously moved forward, when suddenly the ground began to tremble, and rocks around them cracked open, releasing a swarm of ferocious-looking creatures from underneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These creatures moved quickly and attacked fiercely, plunging Luo Chen and the old man into a challenging battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fight lasted a long time, but using his superior swordsmanship and absolute strength, Luo Chen eventually defeated all the creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as they were about to relax, a massive figure slowly emerged from the mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a giant, several zhang tall, wielding an enormous stone club, each step causing the ground to shake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant’s eyes glowed red, clearly not an ordinary being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen took a deep breath, realizing this would be their greatest challenge yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to look at the old man, who simply watched him calmly, seemingly waiting for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen hesitated no longer, channeling all his power and activating the Stellar Art to its fullest, the sword tip gathering radiant starlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted and charged at the giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle was extremely intense, with Luo Chen relying on agile movement techniques and powerful sword skills to maneuver around the giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the giant’s strength was overwhelming, with Luo Chen barely avoiding hits several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Luo Chen was nearly exhausted, he suddenly felt a surge of new power rising within him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1445,"2026-06-03T12:44:45.567Z","2026-06-03T12:44:51.232Z",1,"novelbin.me","f07fd85eff6b631f4ddcf71b1e429c6264c7738390f36bf92c35a8b525f67f8b","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-1415","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-1413",2094,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--cover.jpg"]
