Chapter 755: Hidden Treasures Under the Sea

They believed that this treasure might play an unexpected role in their spiritual practice.

After the transaction was completed, Luochen and Qingshuang thanked the old man and left the antique store.

They decided to return to Tianji Pavilion and start studying the newly obtained ancient books and jade pendants.

After returning to Tianji Pavilion, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang each returned to their rooms and began their research.

Luo Chen carefully read the cultivation methods in ancient books, while Qing Shuang tried to meditate using a jade pendant.

It was late at night, but the lights in Tianji Pavilion were still bright.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang are both immersed in their own worlds, and their minds and cultivation are constantly improving.

In this way, day after day, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang continued to study and practice under the protection of Tianji Pavilion, and their strength also grew steadily.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was a month later.

In this month, although Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's cultivation and power have not improved significantly.

But the state of mind of the two of them has increased significantly.

In fact, under normal circumstances, the two of them would have stayed in seclusion for a longer period of time.

After all, in this Tianji Pavilion.

The two of them also gained so many things. Even if they were in seclusion for half a year, let alone two or three months, this would not be a problem.

But the problem arises.

In the past few days, most practitioners in the city have been spreading rumors that a secret treasure hidden deep under the sea seems to have been discovered in a nearby sea area.

Secrets are hidden treasures.

Anyone who can obtain it will surely have endless gains.

Therefore, after the people from Tianji Pavilion informed Luo Chen and Qing Shuang of the news, they were naturally a little excited about this matter.

"Luochen." Qingshuang's voice sounded particularly clear in the quiet night.

Luo Chen raised his head from the ancient book, his eyes passed through the candlelight and landed on Qing Shuang's focused and serious face.

"Huh? What's wrong, Qingshuang?"

Qingshuang put down the jade pendant in her hand, her eyes shining with excitement.

"Have you heard? About the secret under the sea."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, closed the ancient book in his hand, and said slowly: "Of course I heard about it. The whole city has been talking about it these past few days, but you and I both know that this kind of news is often accompanied by danger."

Qingshuang nodded, but his eyes still shone with determination.

"Yes, Luo Chen, but don't you think this is exactly what we practitioners are pursuing? Opportunities and challenges coexist, and we cannot give up exploration just because we are afraid of danger."

Luo Chen thought for a moment, then stood up and walked to Qing Shuang.

"You are right, we cannot stand still because of fear, but we must also be fully prepared."

Qing Shuang stood up and walked to Luo Chen, and the two stood side by side.

"So what do we do?"

"First of all, we need more information." Luochen replied: "We need to understand the situation in that sea area, the specific location of the secret, and the possible dangers we may encounter."

Qingshuang nodded in agreement.

"Then let's go to the city tomorrow to collect information. Maybe we can find some experienced explorers and ask them for advice."

"Good idea." Luo Chen looked at Qing Shuang approvingly: "We can also go to the auction venue. The people there are well-informed and may be able to get some useful information."

On the second day, Luochen and Qingshuang arrived at the market in the city early.

They shuttled through the bustling crowd, looking for people who might know the secret information.

"Excuse me, do you know anything about the secret under the sea?" Luo Chen stopped an experienced old captain.

The old captain looked at Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, and then slowly said: "Oh, you are also here for the secret? That sea area is no joke. I heard that there are all kinds of strange creatures and mechanisms in it. ”

Qingshuang asked eagerly: "Then do you know the exact location of the secret treasure?"

The old captain shook his head.

"The exact location? No one knows that, but I have heard some clues. It is said that only on the night of the full moon, a mysterious passage leading to the secret will appear on the sea."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, their eyes shining with excitement.

"Full moon night? Then we still have time to prepare."

In the following days, Luochen and Qingshuang began to prepare for the upcoming expedition.

They collected all kinds of equipment that might be used, including diving instruments, defensive magic weapons, and healing elixirs.

Finally, the full moon night arrived.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood on the beach, looking at the sparkling sea, their hearts full of anticipation and nervousness.

Naturally, this information spread throughout the city within a few days.

Therefore, the news about the mysterious passage leading to the secret treasure that will appear on the night of the full moon has naturally been known to countless practitioners.

Therefore, in addition to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, there are at least hundreds, even thousands, of practitioners waiting here.

Luochen and Qingshuang stood in the crowd, and they could feel the tension and excitement of the people around them.

The moonlight shines on the sea, and the waves are sparkling, as if calling them. Qing Shuang held Luo Chen's hand tightly, and their heartbeats seemed to accelerate.

"Luochen, are you ready?" Qingshuang asked in a low voice.

Luo Chen nodded, a determined light flashing in his eyes: "Get ready, Qingshuang. No matter what lies ahead, we must face it together."

At this moment, a strange light suddenly appeared on the sea, and a road made of light slowly emerged.

The crowd began to commotion, and some impatient practitioners could not wait to set foot on the light path.

"Let's go." Luo Chen said softly, holding Qingshuang's hand, and the two of them embarked on the light path together.

The light path winds along the sea, like a bridge leading to the unknown world.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang followed the other practitioners and walked forward step by step.

The salty sea breeze blew against their faces, and the sound of the waves echoed in their ears.

"Luochen, look over there!" Qingshuang suddenly pointed forward, with a hint of surprise in his voice.

Luo Chen looked in the direction pointed by Qing Shuang and saw a huge underwater palace looming at the end of the light path.

The walls of the palace are inlaid with various gemstones, exuding a charming light.

"Is that where the secret treasure is?" Luo Chen murmured to himself.

They continued on and finally came to the entrance of the palace.

The palace door is closed and carved with intricate patterns and runes.

Some practitioners tried to push open the door, but all seemed to be in vain.

Obviously, there seem to be some mysterious formations carved on this gate that are unknown to others.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, this person is one of the best formation masters in the city."

As the crowd moved aside, a middle-aged man in a blue robe walked out.

His eyes showed confidence and calmness, and he was obviously fully confident in deciphering the formation in front of him.

The man took out a string of jade instruments from his sleeves and waved them lightly. The instruments drew mysterious trajectories in the air and finally landed on the runes on the gate.

"Rumble--" With a low sound, the door slowly opened, revealing a deep passage. At the end of the passage, there seemed to be endless treasures waiting for them.

"Thank you, master." Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and expressed their gratitude to the formation master.

"You're welcome, we are all here for the secret treasure." The formation master smiled slightly, then turned around and blended into the crowd.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang followed closely and walked into the passage.

The light in the passage was dim, with only the luminous pearls inlaid on the walls on both sides emitting a faint light.

They moved forward cautiously, alert to any danger that might arise.

"Luochen, what do you think will be in this passage?" Qing Shuang asked in a low voice, her voice echoing in the empty passage.

"It's hard to say, but it will definitely not be simple." Luo Chen replied, looking around, trying to find any abnormalities.

Just then, they heard a slight noise from ahead.

The two of them immediately stopped. Luo Chen pulled out a long sword from his waist, while Qing Shuang held her staff tightly.

"Be careful." Luo Chen warned in a low voice.

They continued on and soon saw a huge cave.

In the center of the cave, there is an altar made of coral and pearls, and an ancient treasure chest is placed on the altar.

The treasure chest is covered with complex runes, which seem to protect the treasure inside.

"It seems that this is the secret we are looking for." Qingshuang's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Don't worry, let's see if there are any mechanisms first." Luo Chen reminded. He knew that in a place like this, any negligence could lead to fatal consequences.

The two carefully checked around the altar and after confirming that there were no obvious traps, they cautiously walked towards the treasure chest.

Luo Chen gently touched the treasure chest with the tip of his sword, trying to trigger any possible mechanisms.

However, nothing happened to the treasure chest.

"It seems to be safe." Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief and immediately began to study the runes on the treasure box.

Qingshuang was observing the surroundings from the side. She always felt that there was some unknown secret hidden in this cave.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on the shadows in a corner of the cave, where there seemed to be a faint light flickering.

"Luochen, look over there!" Qingshuang pointed at the light and said.

Luo Chen looked in the direction pointed by Qing Shuang, and saw that the light gradually became brighter, and finally revealed a transparent light door.

"What is this?" Luo Chen frowned, he had never seen such a scene.

"Perhaps, there is a bigger secret behind this light door." Qingshuang's eyes flashed with curiosity.

The two looked at each other and saw the decision in each other's eyes.

They decided to go through the light gate and explore this unknown territory.

...

However, before passing through the light gate.

Naturally, the two of them still wanted to open the mysterious and unknown treasure box.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang walked slowly towards the mysterious treasure box, each step appearing to be extremely cautious.

The runes on the treasure chest shone with a faint blue light in the dark cave, seeming to tell ancient secrets.

Luochen's fingers gently slid over the runes, trying to decipher their meaning.

"These runes seem to be an ancient sealing technique." Luo Chen whispered, frowning, "But I can't see the specific function."

Qingshuang nodded. She took out a piece of talisman from her waist and waved it gently. The talisman burned in the air and gave off a faint light.

She brought the light close to the treasure chest, trying to use magic to explore its secrets.

"Be careful, Qingshuang." Luo Chen reminded, his eyes never leaving the treasure box.

"I know." Qingshuang replied, with a hint of nervousness and expectation in her voice.

Just when Qingshuang's spell was about to touch the treasure chest, the whole cave suddenly shook, as if some huge power was awakened.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang immediately stepped back a few steps and looked around vigilantly.

"What's going on?" Qingshuang asked nervously.

"I don't know, but it must be related to this treasure chest." Luo Chen replied, his hand tightly grasping the hilt of the sword, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.

The vibration gradually subsided, but the atmosphere in the cave became more solemn.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.

They knew that no matter what was ahead, they would face it together.

Luo Chen approached the treasure chest again, and this time he decided not to hesitate.

He took a deep breath and pushed the lid of the treasure chest hard.

With a dull sound, the treasure chest slowly opened. There was no gold, silver or jewelry as they imagined, but an ancient parchment scroll.

Qingshuang carefully took out the scroll and gently unfolded it.

There was a complex map drawn on the scroll, and some words that they could not understand were written on the edge of the map.

"This should be a map leading to a deeper secret." Qingshuang guessed.

"It seems that we have found a new clue." Luochen nodded in agreement.

The two decided to put the scroll away and study it carefully after they passed through the light gate.

They knew that there might be more secrets and challenges hidden behind this light gate.

Luochen and Qingshuang looked at each other again, their eyes full of desire for the unknown and trust in each other.

They held hands and walked towards the mysterious light gate together.

The light of the light gate flickered in front of their eyes, as if welcoming their arrival.

Luochen took a deep breath and took the first step. Qingshuang followed closely behind, and the two stepped into the light gate together.

The light instantly surrounded them, and they felt dizzy for a while, and then everything returned to calm.

When they opened their eyes, they found that they had come to a completely different place.

This is a huge underground cave, and the top of the cave is inlaid with countless glowing minerals, illuminating the entire space like daylight.

There is a huge pool in the center of the cave, and a platform is floating in the center of the pool, and a treasure chest shining with golden light is placed on the platform.

"Is this the other end of the light gate?" Qingshuang asked curiously.

"It looks like it." Luochen replied, his eyes attracted by the golden treasure chest.

The two walked towards the pool carefully. The water in the pool was clear, but Luochen always felt that there was some unknown danger hidden under the calm water.

"Be careful." Luochen reminded again.

Qingshuang nodded, she took out a transparent bead from her waist, threw it gently, and the bead drew an arc in the air and fell into the water.
