Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood-Chapter 1395 - 685: One Tael of Silver, One Map!

"One tael of silver, just one tael of silver."

"Whoever offers one tael of silver, I will sell this map to them."

The old man’s voice echoed among the crowd, but most people just looked at him with skeptical eyes, whispering, seemingly believing this was just a trick to swindle money.

However, Luo Chen saw a hint of determination in the old man’s eyes. He believed the old man was not lying, at least the old man believed every word he said himself.

Luo Chen stepped forward, squeezing through the crowd, and said to the old man, "Old sir, let me see that map."

The old man lifted his head, a hint of surprise in his eyes, as if he did not expect someone to actually be interested in his map.

With great care, he handed the worn-out map to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen took the map and began to examine it closely.

The map was covered with complex lines and symbols, seemingly pointing to a distant place.

He could sense some kind of ancient force lingering on the map, making him more convinced that this was no ordinary fake.

"One tael of silver, young master, if you truly want it, it’s just one tael of silver."

The old man repeated.

Luo Chen pulled out one tael of silver from his pocket, handed it to the old man, and then carefully put away the map.

The old man took the silver with a grateful smile on his face, seemingly surprised by Luo Chen’s trust.

"Young master, you are indeed a good person, I assure you this map is no ordinary item."

The old man said in a low voice.

Luo Chen smiled faintly, said nothing more, and turned to leave the crowd.

He decided to find a quiet place to study the map carefully, to see if he could discover its secrets.

Returning to his residence, Luo Chen unfolded the map and began to study it carefully.

He found that some of the symbols on the map were similar to ones he had seen in certain ancient tomes before, which made him more convinced that the map hid secrets unknown to others.

After some analysis, Luo Chen finally deciphered some key information on the map.

The marked location on the map turned out to be an ancient ruin outside North Hong City.

It was said that the ruin held great power, but also countless dangers.

Luo Chen decided to personally go to the ruins to investigate.

He packed his bag, prepared the necessary equipment, and then, taking advantage of the night, quietly left North Hong City.

After several days of trekking, Luo Chen finally arrived at the location marked on the map.

It was a desolate valley surrounded by dense forest.

In the center of the valley stood an ancient stone gate, carved with the marks of age.

Luo Chen cautiously approached the stone gate, feeling strong energy fluctuations beyond it.

He tried to push the stone gate, but found it wouldn’t budge a bit.

Luo Chen knew that the stone gate required some special method to open.

He examined the map again and found that the back of the map seemed to hide some clues.

Luo Chen turned the map over and studied the patterns on the back carefully.

After some attempts, he finally discovered the method to open the stone gate.

Following the instructions on the map, Luo Chen touched the corresponding locations on the stone gate in the order of specific symbols.

With the touch of the last symbol, the stone gate emitted a heavy rumbling sound and slowly opened.

Luo Chen took a deep breath and stepped into the stone gate.

Beyond the gate was a long passageway, at the end of which was a spacious stone chamber.

In the center of the stone chamber was an ancient stone coffin, surrounded by various strange treasures.

Luo Chen walked up to the stone coffin and found a line of ancient text engraved on it.

He carefully discerned it and found it was a warning.

[In pursuit of power, one often falls into the power itself, becoming a slave to it!!!]

Luo Chen’s heart trembled as he understood the meaning of the words.

The pursuit of power is a dream for every martial artist and cultivator, but power itself is a double-edged sword, capable of bringing glory and protection, but also destruction and downfall.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment and decided not to touch the treasures in the stone coffin lightly, avoiding falling into the temptation of power.

He looked around and noticed that the walls of the stone chamber were carved with complex patterns and symbols, seemingly telling an ancient story.

Luo Chen observed carefully and discovered that these patterns depicted the life of an ancient powerful figure, from his youthful struggles, to his eventual gaining of power, and then to his downfall due to power.

Luo Chen realized that this stone chamber was not just a place for treasures but also a place of warning.

It reminded everyone who entered this place that power must be handled with caution, or it would bring disaster.

In the corner of the stone chamber, Luo Chen found a tattered book, its pages yellowed but the text still clear.

He carefully opened the book and found it was a tome on the cultivation insights of an ancient powerful figure.

The book not only recorded methods of cultivation but also profound understanding and warnings about power.

Luo Chen, as if obtaining a great treasure, decided to take the book back to study it carefully.

He believed that through learning from the experiences of this ancient powerful figure, he could better grasp his own power and avoid walking the same path of destruction.

Before leaving the stone chamber, Luo Chen looked around again, ensuring no important clue was left behind.

He understood in his heart that this expedition was not just about treasure hunting, but also about learning and growth.

Luo Chen walked out of the stone gate, and it was late at night. He looked up at the starry sky, filled with thoughts about the future.

He knew he still had a lot to learn, and much to overcome.
