Chapter 787 Mysterious Crystal Ball?

Zhao Wuji saw this and whispered to Luo Chen: "Master, if you are really determined to get this Tianhuo furnace, maybe I can help you."

Luo Chen turned to look at Zhao Wuji, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "What do you think, Manager Zhao?"

Zhao Wuji smiled slightly, took out a golden token from his arms, and handed it to Luo Chen: "This is the VIP token of our auction house. The holder of this token enjoys priority at the auction. If you bid with this token, other bidders may have some concerns."

Luo Chen took the token and was grateful in his heart, but he also understood that the value of this token was extraordinary, and he could not easily accept this kindness: "Manager Zhao, this token is too valuable, I can't accept it without merit."

Zhao Wuji waved his hand, indicating that Luo Chen didn't need to mind: "Master, you are a distinguished guest of our auction house, and if you can gain something at this auction, it will also enhance our reputation. This token is our little thought."

Luo Chen nodded, looked at Zhao Wuji gratefully, and then turned his eyes back to the auction table

He took a deep breath and raised the token in his hand.

The auctioneer saw this scene and immediately announced loudly: "Master Luo Chen bids, holding a VIP token, priority!"

There was an uproar in the venue, and other bidders looked at each other, and finally no one dared to bid.

The Sky Fire Furnace fell into Luo Chen's hands at a relatively reasonable price.

After the auction, Luo Chen held a small refining lecture at the auction house as promised.

In the lecture, he not only shared his refining experience, but also demonstrated how to use the Sky Fire Furnace to refine magic tools.

After the lecture, many practitioners praised Luo Chen's skills and said that they benefited a lot.

After successfully taking the Sky Fire Furnace, Luo Chen also continued to buy some special refining materials in this auction house.

After completing this series of things, he took Qingshuang to the valley.

After Luo Chen and Qingshuang returned to the valley, they began to prepare for the upcoming ruins exploration.

They knew that the ruins were full of unknown dangers, so they had to be fully prepared.

Luo Chen placed the newly acquired Skyfire Furnace in the Refining Room and began to try to refine some special magic tools in case of emergency.

Qingshuang laid down layers of defensive formations in the valley to ensure that the valley would remain safe even if they were not there.

The two were busy, but their hearts were full of expectations and nervousness.

"Luo Chen, do you really think this trip to the ruins will yield something?" Qingshuang asked during a break.

Luo Chen stopped his work and looked at Qingshuang seriously: "I believe that as long as we are well prepared, we will be able to find what we need, and this is also a good opportunity to test our cultivation and refining skills."

Qingshuang nodded, she knew Luo Chen was right.

They are no longer fledgling immortal cultivators. After so many trials, they have grown a lot.

After being fully prepared, Luo Chen and Qingshuang finally embarked on the journey to the ruins.

They were careful along the way, avoiding many potential dangers, and finally came to the legendary entrance to the ruins.

The entrance to the ruins was shrouded in a mysterious mist. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood in front of the entrance and exchanged a firm look.

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

Qing Shuang nodded, and the two stepped into the mist together.

When the mist dissipated, they found themselves standing in front of a huge stone door.

The stone door was engraved with ancient runes, emitting a faint light.

"It seems that this is the key to enter the ruins." Luo Chen carefully observed the runes on the stone door.

Qing Shuang took out an ancient book from his arms, which they had found during the preparation process. It recorded a lot of information about the ruins.

"According to the ancient books, these runes need to be activated in a specific order to open the stone door." Qing Shuang said.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to try to activate the runes. After many attempts, they finally found the correct order.

As the last rune was activated, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to the depths of the ruins.

They walked into the passage carefully. The walls on both sides of the passage were inlaid with glowing gems, illuminating the way forward.

At the end of the passage is a spacious hall, with a huge crystal ball in the center.

"This crystal ball seems to contain powerful energy." Luo Chen said.

Qingshuang walked forward, put her hand on the crystal ball, closed her eyes and began to sense it.

After a moment, she opened her eyes, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Luo Chen, this crystal ball is sealed with a powerful soul, and it seems to be waiting for something." Qingshuang said.

Luo Chen frowned slightly. He could feel that there was indeed a powerful force in the crystal ball, but at the same time he also felt a hint of danger.

"We have to be careful and don't easily touch the mechanism here." Luo Chen reminded.

Qingshuang nodded, she knew Luo Chen was right.

They began to look for clues in the hall, hoping to find a way to remove the seal of the crystal ball.

At this moment, footsteps were heard from the other end of the hall.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang immediately became alert. They quickly hid behind a huge stone pillar and observed the person coming.

The visitors were a group of immortal cultivators in black robes, and they seemed to have come for the ruins as well.

The leader of this group of men in black robes was a middle-aged man with a gloomy face. He looked around and his eyes finally landed on the crystal ball.

"It seems we found something good." The middle-aged man sneered.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, and they both realized that the situation was not good.

These people in black robes are obviously not good people. If they are allowed to obtain the power in the crystal ball, the consequences will be disastrous.

"We have to stop them." Luo Chen whispered.

Qingshuang nodded, she knew Luo Chen was right.

They began to approach the man in black robe quietly, looking for opportunities to take action.

Just when the man in black robe was about to attack the crystal ball, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang suddenly launched an attack.

The long sword in Luo Chen's hand drew a sharp sword light and hit the middle-aged man's vitals.

Qingshuang released spells one after another, attacking the other men in black robes.

The sudden attack caught the men in black robes off guard, but they quickly reacted and began to fight back.

A melee broke out in the hall.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang relied on their tacit cooperation to launch a fierce battle with the man in black robe.

During the battle, Luo Chen discovered that the middle-aged man was very powerful, and the long sword in his hand seemed to be a powerful magic weapon.

"Qingshuang, be careful with that guy's sword!" Luo Chen warned loudly.

Qingshuang nodded, she knew Luo Chen was right.

She began to respond to the middle-aged man's attacks more carefully, while looking for opportunities to fight back.

The battle lasted for a long time, and both sides were exhausted.

In the end, with a clever cooperation, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang finally found the middle-aged man's flaw and defeated him together.

The middle-aged man fell to the ground, his eyes filled with unwillingness and anger.

He knew that he had been defeated and could no longer pose a threat to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at the fallen middle-aged man and breathed a sigh of relief.

They knew that this victory was hard-won.

"Luochen, are you okay?" Qingshuang asked with concern.

Luochen shook his head and replied with a smile: "I'm fine."

They know that this victory is not only because of their strength, but also because of their tacit understanding and trust.

After defeating the man in black robe, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to study how to safely remove the seal of the crystal ball.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang approached the crystal ball cautiously. They knew that any mistake in any step could lead to unpredictable consequences.

Luochen took out an ancient book from his arms, which they had found during the preparation process. It recorded a lot of information about the ruins.

"According to ancient books, the seal of the crystal ball requires specific magical guidance to be safely lifted." Luo Chen carefully read through the ancient books, looking for a way to lift the seal.

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that Luo Chen had profound knowledge in this area, so she said, "Then I will protect you. Just try."

Luo Chen took a deep breath and began to slowly inject his own magic power into the crystal ball according to the method in the ancient book.

The crystal ball began to glow softly, and with the injection of Luochen's mana, the light gradually became brighter.

"Be careful, the reaction of the crystal ball seems to be stronger than expected." Qingshuang reminded nervously.

Luochen nodded, he could feel that the power in the crystal ball was resonating with his mana.

He continued to channel his mana and carefully searched for the sealing node.

At this moment, the crystal ball suddenly burst into dazzling light, and a powerful energy wave spread from the crystal ball.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were shocked by the force and took a few steps back, but they quickly stabilized their bodies and prepared to deal with any situation that might arise.

"Luochen, are you okay?" Qingshuang asked nervously.

Luochen shook his head, his eyes still fixed on the crystal ball, and said: "I'm fine, but the seal seems to be more complicated than we imagined."

Qing Shuang walked forward and stood beside Luo Chen. She knew that now was the time when they needed each other the most.

The two began to analyze the power in the crystal ball more carefully, trying to find a safe way to lift the seal.

As time passed by, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang devoted almost all their energy to the study of the crystal ball.

Finally, in an attempt, they discovered a possible way to unblock it.

"Qingshuang, I need you to help me stabilize the energy fluctuations of the crystal ball. I will try to lift the seal." Luo Chen said.

Qingshuang nodded, she knew that Luo Chen's plan was crucial.

She began to use magic to stabilize the energy fluctuations in the crystal ball.

Luo Chen concentrated his attention and began to carefully remove the seal according to the method in the ancient book.

As Luochen's mana gradually penetrated into the crystal ball, the power of the seal began to loosen.

The light in the crystal ball gradually weakened, and finally, with a slight sound, the seal was completely lifted.

The soul in the crystal ball was finally released, and it turned into a ray of light, suspended in the air.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang watched this scene nervously, not knowing what would happen next.

"Thank you, brave immortal cultivators." A gentle voice sounded in the hall, and the soul in the crystal ball showed the image of an old man.

"We just did what we should do." Luochen replied.

The old man nodded, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "As a thank you, I will teach you some ancient weapon refining knowledge."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, knowing that this was a rare opportunity.

The old man began to impart knowledge to them, and Luo Chen and Qing Shuang listened attentively, for fear of missing any detail.

After the teaching ended, the old man turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the sky.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were filled with gratitude and excitement after the old man disappeared.

They knew that this knowledge of ancient weapon refining would be a valuable asset on their path of cultivation.

"Luochen, we really got the knowledge of ancient weapon refining." Qing Shuang's voice was filled with excitement that could not be concealed.

Luo Chen nodded, with a firm light shining in his eyes: "Yes, Qingshuang. This is a huge improvement for us. We have to find a place to digest this knowledge."

The two decided to leave the ruins first and return to the valley to study the new knowledge carefully.

They carefully walked through the hall and returned along the passage they came from, without encountering any further obstacles along the way.

After returning to the valley, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately began to organize and learn the newly acquired knowledge of weapon refining.

They found that this knowledge not only included the skills of refining weapons, but also many secrets about material processing and making magic weapons.

"Luochen, look here. This ancient book records an advanced weapon refining technique called the 'Tiangang Refining Method'." Qing Shuang pointed at the yellowed pages of the book and said excitedly.

Luo Chen leaned over and read the content on the page carefully.

He discovered that this kind of weapon refining method could not only improve the quality of the magic weapon, but also give it special abilities to a certain extent.

"This is unbelievable, Qingshuang, if we can master this weapon refining method, our weapon refining level will make a qualitative leap." Luo Chen's voice was full of expectation.

In the following days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang devoted almost all their time to learning and practicing these ancient weapon refining knowledge.

They kept trying, failing, and trying again, until they finally succeeded in refining the first magical weapon using the "Tiangang Weapon Refining Method".

This magical weapon is a piece of armor, with a faint golden light flowing on its surface, exuding a powerful defensive aura.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at the finished product and felt filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"Qingshuang, we did it." There was a tremor in Luo Chen's voice, which was a tremor of excitement and pride.

Qingshuang smiled and nodded, tears flashing in her eyes: "Yes, Luo Chen, this is the result of our joint efforts."

As time goes by, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's weapon refining skills become more and more sophisticated, and the magic weapons they make attract more and more attention from the world of immortality.

Their reputation gradually spread, and many immortal cultivators came here in admiration, hoping to get the magic tools they made by themselves.
