The monk in black smiled slightly and said nothing more.
He waved his sleeves lightly, and the three of them disappeared into the cave, as if they had never existed.

When they reappeared, they had reached the entrance of the cave.
The sun outside was still bright, as if nothing had changed.
But both Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that their state of mind and strength had undergone earth-shaking changes.
...
Soon after.
They returned to the city.
The monk in black also left silently.
After all, the matter is over, and there is no point in the black monk continuing to stay.
As for Luochen and Qingshuang, they were walking silently on the streets of Fangshi.
The city is still prosperous.
Bursts of shouting sounds continued to penetrate into the ears of the two people.
"Sure enough, Fangshi is safer and allows people to calm down."
Luo Chen took a deep breath of the air in the city, feeling the long-lost tranquility and safety.
He turned to look at Qingshuang and found that she was also enjoying the tranquility, with a relaxed smile on her face.
"Yes, Fangshi always brings a sense of security to people." Luo Chen said softly, "However, this experience also made us understand a lot."
Qingshuang nodded, her eyes becoming deeper.
"Indeed, we have seen the dangers of people's hearts and realized the importance of strength."
The two continued to stroll through the streets of Fangshi, surrounded by bustling crowds and a dazzling array of merchandise.
Luochen and Qingshuang stopped from time to time to browse the items on the stall, and occasionally exchanged some opinions and views.
Gradually, the time came to evening.
The two returned to the small courtyard they rented in Fang City.
Just like that, sitting under the stone pavilion.
While drinking tea, I enjoyed the peace of the moment.
Gusts of breeze came oncoming.
This feeling is quite comfortable.
"The harvest this time is enough for the two of us to practice in seclusion for at least a month."
"As for one month from now, let's talk about it in one month."
Luo Chen took a sip of tea and looked into the distance, as if he had foreseen the future path of cultivation.
He nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the harvest this time is indeed not small. Those spiritual herbs and elixirs are precious resources that we can hardly find outside. A month of retreat will be a great success for us. A huge improvement.”
Qingshuang also nodded slightly, with a satisfied smile on her face.
"Moreover, we have also witnessed a real battle between the strong, which is a rare test for our state of mind and cultivation. Although the road ahead is full of unknowns and challenges, I believe that as long as we work together, there will be no What can stop us from moving forward?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, the tacit understanding and trust flowing between them.
They know that no matter what difficulties and challenges they face, as long as they fight side by side, nothing is impossible.
As night falls, the city gradually becomes quiet.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang set up a protective formation in the small courtyard to ensure that they would not be disturbed by the outside world.
Then, they each returned to their rooms and began to practice in seclusion.
Time flies by like a flash, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
In this month, both Luochen and Qingshuang have made significant progress.
Luo Chen's cultivation has improved further, while Qing Shuang has gained a deeper understanding of the way of swordsmanship, making his swordsmanship sharper and more powerful.
When they woke up from the retreat, they all felt an unprecedented powerful force surging through their bodies.
They know that this is the result of their hard work and the improvement of their strength.
"How do you feel?" Luo Chen walked out of the room and saw Qing Shuang had also woken up, so he asked with a smile.
Qingshuang smiled slightly and replied: "Very good, I feel that my cultivation and swordsmanship have been greatly improved. How about you?"
Luo Chen nodded and said: "Me too, this retreat is really a rare opportunity for us."
...
After chatting for a while, the two walked out of the room silently.
After being in seclusion for a month, the resources are now exhausted.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang naturally wanted to find some training resources that could be used next.
Otherwise, simply rely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to improve your realm.
I don't know how long this will take.
"How about taking a look at the mission board in Fang City. Are there any new missions?"
Luo Chen suggested, his eyes shining with expectation.
He knows that by completing tasks, he can not only get generous rewards, but also hone his cultivation and skills in actual combat.
Hearing this, Qingshuang nodded in agreement: "Good idea, we do need some new resources to support the next practice, and there are usually various types of tasks on the task board. We can also take this opportunity to learn more about it. Some external information and developments.”
So, the two of them walked out of the small courtyard side by side and walked towards the mission board in the center of the square.
Along the way, they greeted familiar monks from time to time and asked about the latest market developments.
From their conversation, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang learned that there were indeed some new tasks released in Fang City recently, and the difficulty and rewards were quite good.
Arriving at the task board, the two carefully browsed the task information on it.
The task board was filled with all kinds of task notes, some seeking precious medicinal materials, some seeking rare minerals, and some requesting to protect a caravan to pass through dangerous areas safely.
Luo Chen's eyes were attracted by a special task.
This task requires finding a rare spiritual fruit called "Netherworld Spiritual Fruit". It is said that this spiritual fruit only grows in extremely yin land and has the magical effect of strengthening the soul and improving cultivation.
The reward for the task is extremely generous, not only a large number of spiritual stones and elixirs, but also a precious magic weapon as an additional reward.
Qingshuang also noticed this task, and she whispered: "This task looks good. The Netherworld Spiritual Fruit is a rare treasure. If we can find it, it will be of great benefit to our cultivation."
Luo Chen nodded and said: "However, this task does not look simple. Extremely yin lands are usually full of dangers. Not only are there powerful monsters, but there may also be unknown crises hidden. We need to prepare well."
After discussing for a while, the two decided to take on this task.
They knew that although this mission was full of unknowns and dangers, it was also a rare opportunity.
As long as they were careful and well prepared, they would be able to successfully complete the mission.
In the next few days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were busy.
They first bought some necessary elixirs and talismans as backup, and then collected some intelligence and information about the extremely yin land.
In the process, they also met a guide who was familiar with the terrain and the distribution of monsters. The other party expressed his willingness to lead them to the extremely yin land at a reasonable price.
After everything was ready, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang embarked on a journey to the extremely yin land with the guide.
They knew that this road was full of unknowns and dangers, but they also firmly believed that as long as they worked together and moved forward courageously, they would be able to find the netherworld fruit and successfully return to the market.
As the group went deeper into the mountains and forests, the surrounding environment gradually became cold and humid, and the air was filled with a heart-pounding chill.
The trees were tall and dense, and no sunlight could penetrate through the branches and leaves, making the entire forest look extremely dim.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang held their weapons tightly and looked around vigilantly.
They knew that this was already the edge of the extremely yin land and they could be in danger at any time.
The guide was an experienced old hunter. He held a sharp hunting knife and walked at the front of the team. He stopped from time to time and sniffed the air with his nose to judge the situation ahead.
"Everyone be careful, this is close to the activity area of the monster." The guide reminded in a low voice.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang nodded and looked around more vigilantly.
Suddenly, a low roar came from the woods not far away, and then a huge monster rushed out of the bushes.
It was a monster covered with black scales, with eyes flashing with green light and saliva dripping from its mouth, which looked extremely ferocious.
"It's a nether wolf!" The guide's face changed, and he quickly drew out his hunting knife and prepared to fight.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also went up without hesitation. They knew that although this monster was ferocious, it was not impossible to deal with.
The battle soon broke out, and the Nether Wolf, relying on its powerful strength and speed, continuously launched fierce attacks on the three people.
However, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gradually stabilized their position with their tacit cooperation and superb martial arts.
Sometimes they joined forces to resist the Nether Wolf's pounce, and sometimes they took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, constantly consuming the monster's physical strength.
Finally, in a fierce confrontation, Luo Chen seized the opportunity and pierced the Nether Wolf's throat with a sword, ending the battle.
After the battle, the three took a short rest and continued to move towards the depths of the extremely yin land.
As they continued to go deeper, the surrounding environment became more and more severe.
The air was filled with thick yin and poisonous fog, which greatly restricted their vision.
However, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not give up. They relied on their firm will and extraordinary strength to move forward step by step.
In the process, they encountered various dangers and challenges, but each time they were able to turn danger into safety with wisdom and courage.
Finally, after several days of arduous journey, they came to a gloomy and terrifying valley.
This valley was shrouded in thick yin energy and poisonous fog, as if it was a huge death trap.
However, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that the Nether Spirit Fruit was likely to grow in a corner of this valley.
They carefully passed through the poisonous fog and climbed up along the cliffs of the valley.
After a difficult search, they finally found the Nether Spirit Fruit in a hidden cave.
It was a fruit that emitted a faint glow, covered with fine scales on the surface, and exuded an alluring aroma.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang smiled at each other, knowing that they had finally found this precious treasure.
However, just as they were about to pick the Nether Spirit Fruit, a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged in their hearts.
They turned around suddenly and saw a monster with a larger body and a more terrifying breath standing at the entrance of the cave, staring at them with murderous eyes.
It was a Nether Leopard, whose strength far exceeded that of an ordinary Nether Wolf.
Facing this powerful monster, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that they had to go all out to have a glimmer of hope.
So they quickly adjusted their status and prepared for this life-and-death battle.
The battle broke out again, and the Nether Leopard, with its amazing speed and strength, continued to launch fierce attacks on the two.
However, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were not to be outdone. With their tacit cooperation and superb martial arts, they launched a fierce battle with the Nether Leopard.
In this process, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang showed amazing tacit understanding and teamwork ability.
They used their respective advantages and cooperated with each other to form an indestructible line of defense.
Luo Chen was good at swordsmanship, and his swordsmanship was sharp and precise, and every sword was aimed at the vital point of the Nether Leopard.
He kept looking for the flaws of the Nether Leopard, trying to kill it with one blow.
Qing Shuang was good at using a long whip, and her whip skills were flexible and changeable, and she could find opportunities to counterattack in the gaps between the Nether Leopard's attacks.
The two attacked and defended, and they cooperated perfectly.
Although the Nether Leopard was powerful, it gradually seemed a little powerless under their joint efforts.
However, the Nether Leopard was, after all, the dominant monster in the extremely yin land. How could it easily admit defeat?
Suddenly, it roared to the sky, and its hair stood up instantly, and a powerful aura burst out from its body.
"Be careful, it's going to use its ultimate move!" the guide reminded.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang nodded solemnly after hearing this.
They knew that the next attack would be a full-strength attack from the Nether Leopard, and they had to go all out to resist it.
Sure enough, the Nether Leopard suddenly jumped up and turned into a black lightning and pounced on the two.
Its speed was beyond the imagination of the two. However, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not panic at all.
They reacted almost at the same time.
Luo Chen swung his sword, and the sword energy was like a rainbow, directly approaching the throat of the Nether Leopard.
Qing Shuang took the opportunity to swing out a long whip and tightly wrapped the Nether Leopard's waist.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, the sharp claws of the Nether Leopard collided with Luo Chen's sword light, bursting out dazzling sparks.
However, at this critical moment, Qingshuang's whip played a role.
She pulled hard, causing the Nether Leopard to stagger, instantly breaking its attack rhythm.
Seeing this, Luo Chen seized the opportunity without hesitation and stabbed the Nether Leopard's heart with a sword.
As a stream of black blood gushed out, the Nether Leopard's body fell to the ground powerlessly, completely losing its vitality.
After the battle, the three of them gasped.
They knew that although this battle was difficult, their cooperation and strength had been greatly improved.
"We succeeded!" Qingshuang shouted excitedly.
Luo Chen also smiled with relief.
He looked at the Nether Spirit Fruit that was emitting a faint glow, and his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment.
"Yes, we succeeded." He nodded, then walked forward and carefully picked the Nether Spirit Fruit.
