Chapter 219 Entering the ruins, Peach Demon Valley!
Lin Chen frowned slightly after hearing this.
Do you have to pay spiritual stones to explore the ruins?
Lin Chen glanced at Jiang Liqian, then at Li Zhenqian and Zhou Tieshan.
A trace of anger flashed in Li Zhenqian's eyes.
Could this ancient ruins belong to an owner?
Unless they can produce proof that this relic belongs to them!
Besides, one thousand spirit stones per person does not sound like much...
But in the few months since it was opened, there have been at least 10,000 monks who came to explore.
The amount of spiritual stones paid is tens of millions!
Lin Chen made a gesture, telling Li Zhenqian to stay calm.
Then he asked with a smile:
"Fellow Taoist, this ruins is an unclaimed land, why do we still need to pay spiritual stones?"
"Fellow Taoist...I It’s not that I don’t want to pay, I just want to ask why.”
Lin Chen’s attitude was polite and he was well-educated.
The Jindan monk who blocked the road also explained:
“Who said that this ruins has no owner?”
“My master is Zhenren Linglong, the 18th generation successor of Longling Sect. ...After the Longling Sect relics were revealed, Master was extremely generous by not hiding them or preventing other monks from exploring them!"
After hearing this, Lin Chen secretly complained in his heart.
It has been more than ten thousand years since the Longling Sect was destroyed. Where are the eighteenth generation successors?
I think it was a fabricated identity.
But the golden elixir monk looked determined, and then took out two more objects.
A token, and a sheepskin map.
"My family is selfless, and I don't want these thousand spirit stones in vain."
"There is a token here. If any monk holding this token is in crisis in the ruins, my family will A real person will help you when you happen to meet him..."
"And this map, with detailed routes around the ruins, can also help you explore."
Lin Chen frowned slightly after hearing this.
A token, a map, and a thousand spirit stones?
Lin Chen glanced at the map in a hurry. There were ten spiritual stones on the market, which were worthless at all.
At this moment, several monks in colorful clothes arrived at the entrance of the ruins in a spiritual boat.
The leading monk in fine attire didn't even say a word and only showed a block card.
The golden elixir monk who was blocking the road suddenly changed his attitude and said with a flattering look on his face:
"It turns out that the noble man is here... Come on, please come inside."
"Noble man. ...There is a token and a detailed map here, which may be of some help to the noble..."
As he said that, the Jindan monk took out a more detailed map and handed it over along with the token. .
The noble young master just nodded slightly but did not take it.
The servants on the side put away the map tokens, and several people went straight into the ruins of Longling Sect.
"My lord, please go well!"
Seeing the monk in gorgeous clothes walking into the ruins, the golden elixir monk still shouted with a flattering look on his face.
Lin Chen twitched his lips when he saw this, this man really acted according to the wind.
On the side, Li Zhenqian finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked loudly:
"Why can they enter the ruins directly without paying spiritual stones?"
"We each have to pay one. Thousand Spirit Stones!”
After hearing this, the Jindan monk who blocked the road suddenly looked disdainful, looked at the people up and down, and sneered:
"That noble man is the son of the president of the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce... Where did you come from? ?”
"We are Changchun sect monks!"
Li Zhenqian directly announced his sect.
"Changchun Gate?"
The Jindan monk frowned slightly. After thinking carefully, he suddenly thought of something, and the mockery in his eyes became even more intense.
"Haha, it turns out they are country monks from the Eastern Region...Changchun Gate? You are all in trouble now!"
"You're just a real person who's about to die, how long can you keep jumping around?"
"Hurry up, pay the spirit stone if you want to go in, otherwise get away!"
Li Zhenqian heard this. Suddenly he became short of breath, and there were fluctuations of mana all over his body.
"It's too much to bully others. I will make you look good today!"
Zhou Tieshan did not hesitate to take out his personal magic weapon.
At this moment, Lin Chen received a message from Jiang Liqian.
Lin Chen, who was originally silent, suddenly smiled.
“Haha, of course you are a descendant of the Longling Sect...you should pay for the thousand spirit stones!”
“Fellow Taoist, these junior brothers of mine have never seen the world... ...Please don’t be offended!”
Lin Chen stepped forward, stopped the two junior brothers behind him, and then put his arm on the shoulders of the golden elixir monk.
Skillfully took out a spirit stone bag.
"Fellow Taoist, please forgive me. There are five thousand spirit stones in this bag...it should be paid for by the four of us."
The golden elixir monk who was blocking the road softened slightly after hearing this. Looking back at the angry Li Zhenqian, he felt annoyed again.
He was about to turn around and reprimand, but his expression suddenly changed.
He raised his head and stared at the smiling Lin Chen.
A drop of cold sweat ran across his forehead, and his body could not move at all!
Lin Chen's arm on his shoulder seemed to be filled with infinite strength.
As long as he moves... it seems as if his shoulder will break.
After a while, the golden elixir monk who blocked the road finally backed down and forced a smile.
"Haha, the monks in Qingzhou are all from the same family...fellow Taoists, please come in quickly!"
Seeing that his expression didn't look fake, Lin Chen smiled and nodded.
Stuffing the spirit stone bag into the monk's arms, he took out four tokens and four detailed maps.
He then left with Li Zhenqian and others.
After entering the ruins, the four people's figures flashed, as if they had entered a brand new world.
At this time, Li Zhenqian finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Lin Chen, why are you cowardly? How can monks like us... be insulted like this?"
Lin Chen glanced at him lightly and said: "It is better to do less than to do more. Five thousand spiritual stones are not much. "
Li Zhenqian was still angry when he heard this, but Lin Chen ignored him.
"Junior Sister Jiang, what you just said..." At this time, Lin Chen said.
Jiang Liqian nodded and said at the same time:
"The real person Linglong is a monk in the early stage of Yuanying. He worked as a tribulation cultivator for a while in the early years."
"Later, he was recruited by several neutral forces, and he managed quite well in the three cities of Dao Dao. . But he is a man who will retaliate for his anger and his methods are vicious, so he should not be easily provoked..."
"This time He discovered the Longling Sect ruins together with another Yuanying Master. "After exploring for a long time to no avail, he came up with the idea of selling tickets to enter the ruins."
Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this. It was really unnecessary to offend two Nascent Soul Masters just because of four thousand spirit stones.
Moreover, four thousand spiritual stones were nothing to the current Lin Chen.
From this perspective, Master Linglong actually did it just right.
A thousand spirit stones are not a small amount for a monk who has perfected the Foundation Establishment, but he can even grit his teeth to get it.
It is nothing to the Golden elixir monks, there is no need to offend the two Nascent Soul monks for this.
As for the disciples of the big forces, they have probably been on the white list for a long time.
The monks who collect money from Master Linglong are also polite and do not mention the matter of collecting money at all...
"Alas, in the end...it is the small-power monks and casual cultivators who suffer..."
Lin Chen sighed in his heart.
At this time, Jiang Liqian continued to transmit the message:
"Senior Brother Lin, that token is actually a certificate. Master Linglong has found many monks in the ruins."
"If you encounter one, just show the token... Otherwise, you will be harassed more, and the gain is not worth the loss..."
Lin Chen's eyes darkened after hearing this message. An exploration of ruins was played out by the real spirit dragon.
If you pay the protection fee, you will not be protected. If you don’t pay, you will be targeted.
Well, this is very dangerous...
"It seems that Master Linglong is not honest after being cleansed... Haha, he is just bullying the weak and afraid of the strong."
Lin Chen sneered in his heart.
He has always taken revenge, but now is not the time to take revenge.
Now that Lin Chen has been offended, it is the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect who is looking for the Master Long Ling.
Lin Chen silently wrote down Master Linglong in his notebook.
...
After entering the ruins, Lin Chen handed out several tokens.
At this time Jiang Liqian also shared the information he had obtained.
"According to the information I have collected, the Longling Sect ruins are divided into two parts: the inner and outer parts. We are currently on the periphery of the ruins."
Jiang Liqian took out a map and pointed at it The three words Peach Demon Valley marked on it explain:
"The periphery of the Longling Sect ruins is divided into four areas, namely Peach Demon Valley, Gravel Pond, Dragon Tooth Plank Road, and Luanxin Palace."
"Our current location is in Peach Demon Valley, Pass through the first three areas to reach the Luanxin Palace. "
"Go through the Luanxin Palace to reach the core of the Longling Sect's ruins."
Jiang Liqian's map. He put it away, took out another compass, and quickly determined the direction.
“There are many peach blossom demon trees in this Peach Demon Valley. Although the threat is limited... it is also quite troublesome.”
With that said, Jiang Liqian handed over several bottles of elixirs.
“This is a specially made detoxifying pill that can prevent the pollen from the Peach Blossom Demonic Tree.”
“The pollen makes it extremely itchy when it touches the body, and even the Golden Pill monks can’t resist it. Remember... Take one every quarter of an hour, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable if the pollen contaminates your body..."
After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded slightly, took the elixir, sniffed it a few times, and then took one.
Li Zhenqian and Zhou Tieshan also took it in turn.
Zhou Tieshan looked at Jiang Liqian with admiration, "Senior Sister Jiang, you know so much."
Jiang Liqian smiled and said: "Since we want to explore the secret realm, we must collect enough intelligence. A lot. The monks rely on their outstanding strength, but there are times when the boat capsizes in the gutter..."
After hearing this, Lin Chen applauded in his heart.
Jiang Liqian is the type who makes plans before taking action. Following her to explore the ruins, Lin Chen doesn’t have to worry too much.
Everyone followed Jiang Liqian for several miles.
There are more and more peach trees around. Originally, I had to walk dozens of meters to see one.
In the end, every few steps you take are peach blossom trees.
A large peach forest appeared in front. The peach trees were extremely tall and dense.
The leaves are connected into pieces overhead, almost blocking out the sky and the sun.
Lin Chen observed the peach blossom demon tree along the way and found that there were two types of peach trees he saw along the way.
The first type has only green leaves but no peach blossoms.
The second type has many flowers and few leaves, and releases pollen that floats in the wind.
After walking for a few more miles, Jiang Liqian took out a pill and said:
"Take the second antidote pill now."
Zhou Tieshan and Li Zhen Qian heard what he was told and did it.
Lin Chen looked at the pink pollen in the air and stretched out his hand slightly to touch it.
When Lin Chen retracted his arm, he found a small patch of red on the back of his hand.
Slightly itchy.
Lin Chen's heart moved slightly, and he started to run the Evergreen Art.
This pink color disappeared quickly.
Jiang Liqian looked at the back with a look of surprise,
"Senior Brother Lin is really profound in cultivation. Although this Peach Blossom Demon is only a second-level demon plant, its pollen cannot be contaminated by ordinary golden elixirs in the middle stage..."
< br>"Senior brother, with his advanced cultivation, was able to directly force out the flower poison."
Lin Chen smiled when he heard this, but he didn't make any excuses and honestly took an antidote pill.
Seeing this, Li Zhenqian became interested in comparison. He did not rush to take the detoxification pill and touched the pollen in the air.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhenqian suddenly felt itching on his skin.
Having an urge to scratch desperately, he was horrified and quickly took the detoxification pill, and the itching gradually subsided.
After the poison was resolved, Li Zhenqian felt uncomfortable.
Lin Chen could easily resolve the poison, but he almost made a fool of himself on the spot.
“Ahem.”
Li Zhen coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and then breathed a sigh of relief when no one noticed him.
The four of them walked forward for several more miles, when Jiang Liqian suddenly stopped.
"Wait a minute, everyone, there are a lot of demonic peach gums here."
Jiang Liqian did not take the path between the peach trees, but walked dozens of steps deeper into the peach forest.
Then we stopped under a huge peach tree.
He took out a jade dagger and pulled at the roots of the demon peach tree a few times.
Soon, a transparent, pink gelatinous mass was dug out.
Jiang Liqian took out the jade bottle and carefully packed the demon peach glue.
“Demon peach gum is an excellent medicinal substance. It has mild and nourishing properties. It can be used in many third-level and even fourth-level elixirs.”
“The older it is, the better it is. Rare! Even though this small bottle is worth hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones.”
Jiang Li smiled sweetly and explained.
“The cultivation of monster beasts is not as good as that of humans, and their speed is extremely slow. Especially tree monsters, their growth is even slower.”
“It took more than two hundred years for the peach magic to reach the second level. Monsters can give birth to peach blossoms, release pollen to ward off enemies, and also produce peach gum..."
After hearing this, Lin Chen's heart moved slightly and asked:
"What about this monster peach forest. , is there a peach demon who can bear peaches?”
Jiang Liqian nodded when he heard the words and said:
"Of course there are. Demonic peach trees that are more than a thousand years old can only bear peach fruits. Eating them can improve your cultivation. It is of great benefit to Jindan monks."< br>
"But these thousand-year-old peach trees are so rare. I'm afraid there aren't even a few of them in this Demonic Peach Valley... Even if there are, they may have been picked by others."
After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded slightly, his consciousness flowing like a tide. gushing out.
But then Lin Chen frowned slightly. There seemed to be a lot of suppression of spiritual consciousness in the Peach Demon Valley.
Lin Chen's spiritual consciousness, which had surpassed the middle stage of Nascent Soul, could only be released hundreds of feet away from his body.
But soon, Lin Chen found what he wanted.
"Wait for me first..."
Lin Chen took out a jade knife and quickly shuttled through the peach forest.
After a while, Lin Chen returned, holding several jade bottles in his hands, all filled with peach gum.
The value of these few bottles of peach gum alone is probably one to two million spiritual stones.
“What a good luck.” Li Zhenqian had envy in his eyes.
So many spirit stones are enough for him to practice for decades.
Jiang Liqian's heart moved slightly, and she praised: "Senior brother's spiritual awareness is indeed outstanding... he was able to find so many peach gums."
"But... the detoxification pill is limited, we Let’s move forward as soon as possible.”
Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this, and the four of them walked forward for a long time.
Lin Chen only remembered that he had taken five detoxifying pills in total.
But the Peach Demon Forest is too big, and the four of them have not yet left.
Suddenly, Lin Chen paused and asked:
“Did you hear anything?”
