Chapter 219 Entering the Ruins, Peach Demon Valley!

Lin Chen frowned slightly after hearing this.

Entering the ruins to explore, you still have to pay spirit stones?

Lin Chen glanced at Jiang Liqian, then at Li Zhenqian and Zhou Tieshan.

Li Zhenqian's eyes had already flashed with anger.

How could this ancient ruins have an owner?

Unless they can produce evidence to prove that the ruins belong to them!

Besides, one thousand spirit stones per person, this doesn't sound like much...

But in the few months since it was opened, there have been at least more than ten thousand cultivators who came to explore.

The spirit stones paid are tens of millions!

Lin Chen made a gesture, signaling Li Zhenqian to be patient.

Then he smiled and asked:

"Daoyou, this ruins is an unowned place, why do you have to pay spirit stones?"

"Daoyou... It's not that I don't want to pay, I just want to ask the reason."

Lin Chen was polite and had a good cultivation.

The Jindan cultivator who blocked the road also explained:

"Who said that this relic has no owner?"

"My master is Linglong Zhenren, the 18th generation descendant of Longling Sect... After the Longling Sect ruins appeared, the master did not hide them privately or prevent other cultivators from entering to explore, which is extremely generous!"

After hearing this, Lin Chen secretly complained in his heart.

The Longling Sect has been destroyed for more than ten thousand years, so where does the 18th generation descendant come from?

It seems to be a fabricated identity.

But the Jindan cultivator looked confident, and then took out two more items.

A token, and a sheepskin map.

"My Zhenren is selfless, and these 1,000 spirit stones are not in vain."

"Here is a token. If any cultivator holding this token falls into danger in the ruins, my Zhenren will help him when he happens to meet him..."

"And this map has a detailed route outside the ruins, which can also help you explore."

After hearing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly.

A token, a map, and 1,000 spirit stones?

Lin Chen glanced at the map hastily. It was worth ten spirit stones on the market.

Just then, several monks in gorgeous clothes arrived at the entrance of the ruins on a spirit boat.

The monk in gorgeous clothes didn't even say anything, but only showed a sign.

The Jindan monk who was blocking the road immediately changed his attitude and said flatteringly:

"It turns out that the noble is here... Come on, please come in."

"Noble... Here is a token and a detailed map, which may be of some help to you..."

As he said that, the Jindan monk took out a more detailed map and handed it over together with the token.

The noble man just nodded slightly and didn't take it.

The servant on the side put away the map token, and several people went straight into the ruins of Longling Sect.

"Noble, have a good trip!"

Seeing that the monk in gorgeous clothes walked into the ruins, the Jindan monk still shouted flatteringly.

Seeing this, Lin Chen pulled the corner of his mouth. This man really changed his attitude according to the situation.

On the side, Li Zhenqian finally couldn't help it and asked loudly:

"Why can they enter the ruins directly without paying spirit stones?"

"We have to pay one thousand spirit stones each!"

The Jindan cultivator who blocked the road was immediately disdainful after hearing this. He looked up and down at the few people and sneered:

"That noble man is the son of the president of Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce... Where are you from?"

"We are the cultivators of Changchun Sect!"

Li Zhenqian directly introduced himself.

"Changchun Sect?"

The Jindan cultivator frowned slightly, and after thinking carefully, he suddenly thought of something, and the mockery in his eyes became even stronger.

"Hehe, so you are the country cultivators from the East Region... Changchun Sect? You can't protect yourselves now!"

"You are just a dying real person, how long can you jump around?"

"Hurry up, pay the spirit stones if you want to go in, otherwise get out of here!"

Li Zhenqian was furious when he heard this, and his magic power fluctuated around him.

"You are too much, I will make you pay today!"

Zhou Tieshan also took out his personal magic weapon without hesitation.

At this moment, Lin Chen received Jiang Liqian's voice transmission.

Lin Chen, who was originally silent, suddenly smiled.

"Haha, of course you are the descendants of Longling Sect... The one thousand spirit stones should be paid!"

"Fellow Daoist, my junior brothers have never seen the world... Please don't be surprised!"

Lin Chen took a step forward, stopped the two junior brothers behind him, and then put his arm on the shoulders of this Jindan cultivator.

He took out a spirit stone bag skillfully.

"Fellow Daoist, please forgive me. There are 5,000 spirit stones in this bag... It will be used as the expenses for the four of us."

The Jindan cultivator who blocked the road was slightly relieved after hearing this, and then turned back to look at the angry Li Zhenqian, and was annoyed again.

He was about to turn around and scold, but his face suddenly changed.

He looked up and stared at the smiling Lin Chen.

A drop of cold sweat ran across his forehead, and his body was completely unable to move!

Lin Chen's arm on his shoulder seemed to transmit infinite power.

As long as he moved... it seemed that his shoulder would break.

After a while, the Jindan cultivator who blocked the road finally stepped back and forced a smile.

"Haha, Qingzhou cultivators are all one family... Fellow Daoists, please come in!"

Seeing that his expression was not fake, Lin Chen smiled and nodded.

He stuffed the spirit stone bag into the cultivator's arms, and took out four tokens and four detailed maps.

Then he left with Li Zhenqian and others.

After entering the ruins, the four figures flashed, as if entering a completely new world.

At this time, Li Zhenqian finally couldn't help it.

"Lin Chen, why are you so cowardly? How can we cultivators... 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 after hearing this, but Lin Chen ignored him.

"Junior Sister Jiang, what you just said..." At this time, Lin Chen said through the voice.

Jiang Liqian nodded and said at the same time:

"That Master Linglong is a monk in the early stage of Yuanying. He was 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 Wenwen. However, he is determined to retaliate for his anger, and his methods are vicious, so he should not be easily provoked..."

"This time, he discovered the ruins of Longling Sect together with another Master Yuanying."

"After exploring for a long time but to no avail, I 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 spirit stones were nothing to the current Lin Chen.

From this perspective, Master Linglong actually did it just right.

A thousand spiritual stones are not a small amount for a monk who has perfected the Foundation Establishment, but he can still grit his teeth and come up with it.

It is nothing to the Golden elixir cultivator, there is no need to offend the two Nascent Soul cultivators for this.

As for the disciples of those big forces, they have probably been on the white list for a long time.

The monks who collect money under Master Linglong will also be polite and never mention the matter of collecting money...

"Alas, in the end...it is the small-power cultivators and casual cultivators who suffer..."

Lin Chen sighed deeply in his heart.

At this time, Jiang Liqian continued to transmit:

"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 outweighs the loss..."

Lin Chen's eyes darkened after hearing this transmission.

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 always takes revenge when he wants, but now is not the time for revenge.

Now that Lin Chen has been offended, the one who will be looking for Master Long Ling in the future will be the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect.

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, pointed to the three words Peach Demon Valley marked on the map, and explained:

"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 the Peach Demon Valley. After passing through the first three areas, we can reach the Chaotic Heart Palace."

"You can only reach the core of the Longling Sect's ruins by passing through the Luanxin Palace."

Jiang Liqian put away the map, took out a 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 is extremely itchy when it touches the body, and even the golden elixir monks can't resist it. Remember...take one pill every quarter of an hour, otherwise the pollen will make the body uncomfortable..."

Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this, took the pill and sniffed it for a few times, then took one.

Li Zhenqian and Zhou Tieshan also took it in turn.

Zhou Tieshan looked at Jiang Liqian with admiration, "Sister Jiang, you know so much."

Jiang Li smiled lightly and said: "Since we want to explore the secret realm, we must collect enough intelligence. Many monks rely on their superior strength, but there are times when the ship capsizes..."

Lin Chen applauded in his heart after hearing this.

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 formed a cluster of leaves 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 Zhenqian did as they were told.

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.

The pink color quickly disappeared.

Jiang Liqian looked surprised when he saw the back.

"Senior Brother Lin's cultivation is indeed profound. Although this peach blossom demon is only a second-level demon plant, the pollen cannot be contaminated by ordinary golden elixirs in the middle stage..."

"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 excuses and honestly took an antidote pill.

When Li Zhenqian saw this, he started to compare, so he didn't rush to take the detoxification pill and touched the pollen in the air.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhenqian suddenly felt itching on his skin.

He felt an urge to scratch desperately, and was horrified. He quickly took the detoxifying 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.

"Everyone, wait a moment, there are a lot of demonic peach gums here."

Jiang Liqian did not take the path between the peach trees, but instead walked dozens of steps deep into the peach forest.

Then he 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 rarer it is! 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."

"More than two hundred years of peach magic has reached the second level of monsters. It can give birth to peach blossoms and release pollen to defend against enemies. It also produces peach gum..."

Lin Chen's heart moved slightly after hearing this and asked:

"Then in this demonic peach forest, are there any peach demons who can bear peaches?"

Jiang Liqian nodded when he heard this and said:

"Of course there are. Demon peach trees that are more than a thousand years old can bear peach fruits. Eating them can improve your cultivation. It is of great benefit to Jindan monks."

"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've probably been picked by others."

Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this, and his consciousness surged out like a tide.

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.

"You guys 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 a look of envy in his eyes.

These many spiritual stones are enough for him to practice for decades.

However, Jiang Liqian's heart moved slightly and she praised: "Senior brother's spiritual awareness is indeed outstanding... he was able to find so much peach gum."

"But... the detoxification pills are limited, so 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 haven't left yet.

Suddenly, Lin Chen paused and asked:

"Did you hear anything?"
