We must quickly find the source of this ominous energy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Qing nodded in agreement: “The letter mentioned a hidden sage. Perhaps we should visit him to learn more about the situation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three decided that once the support team from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was ready, they would set out to find the hidden sage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While waiting, they decided to inquire around the town to see if anyone knew any clues about the ominous energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Qing Shuang changed into casual clothes and left the inn with Feng Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The townspeople seemed accustomed to the presence of cultivators, casting curious yet friendly glances at Luo Chen and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They first went to a tea house, which was crowded with local residents, making it a good place to gather information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They found a corner to sit in and ordered a few cups of tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excuse me, have any strange events occurred in town recently?” Luo Chen asked the tea house owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner, a middle-aged man, put down the teapot and thought for a moment before answering: “To speak of strange things, a few events have certainly been puzzling lately. For instance, the old well on the east side of town has recently turned murky, and the well water has developed a peculiar taste.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang raised an eyebrow: “Oh? How peculiar. May we go and have a look?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, if the immortals are interested, I’ll take you there right away,” the owner said enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three followed the owner to the old well on the east side of town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The well water was indeed as murky as the owner claimed, and it emanated a faint fishy smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen squatted down, dipped his fingers into the well water, sniffed it, then frowned: “There seems to be traces of demonic qi in this water.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Demonic qi?” Feng Qing and Qing Shuang exclaimed in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, the demonic qi is faint but definitely present,” Luo Chen affirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three exchanged glances, all understanding that the anomaly of the old well was likely related to the ominous energy mentioned in the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We need to investigate clearly where this demonic qi is coming from,” Qing Shuang said seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen nodded: “We’ll split up. I’ll investigate the source of the well water, Qing Shuang, you inquire around town for more information, and Feng Qing will safeguard the townsfolk, just in case.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang and Feng Qing both agreed, and the three went their separate ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen followed the path of the well water, tracking it outside of town to a dense forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forest was shrouded in mist, appearing particularly eerie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cautiously ventured deeper into the forest, trying to locate the source of the demonic qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang was gathering information around town, using her identity with the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to ask the townsfolk if they had seen any suspicious persons or unusual occurrences recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the townsfolk revered the cultivators, they shared all the information they knew with Qing Shuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Qing was patrolling the town, placing alert arrays at various corners using talisman paper to prevent disruption by members of the Demon Organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen traversed the forest for a long time before finally discovering something unusual in a hidden valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the valley stood an abandoned mine entrance from which a strong demonic qi emanated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He approached cautiously and noticed some movement inside the mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang had gathered some clues from the townsfolk mentioning that a mysterious group of outsiders had been spotted in the forest outside town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately realized that this might be connected to the mine that Luo Chen discovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After laying down the array in town, Feng Qing noticed Qing Shuang’s direction as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to head to the forest to meet up with Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three eventually reunited outside the mine and decided to enter together to investigate the source of the demonic qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mine was dark and humid, the air filled with a suffocating stench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They carefully ventured deeper into the mine, finding the presence of demonic qi intensifying as they progressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the deepest part of the mine, they discovered a massive altar with a crystal stone emitting a dark red glow at its center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around the crystal stone, several black-clad figures were murmuring curses softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems we’ve found the source of the demonic qi,” Luo Chen whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang and Feng Qing stared vigilantly at the black-clad figures before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew a battle was inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-clad figures seemed to notice the arrival of Luo Chen and the others, ceasing their chanting and turning around, their eyes filled with hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You cultivators dare come here to disrupt our plans!” the leading black-clad figure barked angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen sneered: “Disrupt your plans? The ghostly acts you’re involved with here clearly endanger the nearby townsfolk!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tension was palpable as both sides prepared for a fierce confrontation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Qing Shuang swiftly drew their weapons, while Feng Qing began preparing talisman paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-clad figures were not to be outdone, summoning their own magic artifacts to prepare for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle erupted instantly, with Luo Chen and Qing Shuang engaging fiercely with the black-clad figures through their adept synergy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Qing provided support from the side, utilizing the talisman papers to create various spell effects, disrupting the black-clad figures’ movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of clashing metal and murmuring curses echoed in the mine, as Luo Chen and Qing Shuang moved like lightning bolts through the black-clad figures. Their swordsmanship was sharp and precise, each swing accompanied by the screams of the black-clad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Qing’s talisman papers floated like a flurry of butterflies, transforming into fireballs at times, and into ice arrows at others, providing solid support for Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.\u003C\u002Fp>",1020,"2026-06-03T12:44:54.306Z","2026-06-03T12:44:54.586Z",1,"novelbin.me","c6fe832a3a0ea85e9d005f5ed7c43c6dbc0d5b6e9ce34a979feebf18c1497821","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-1588","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-1586",2094,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--cover.jpg"]
