Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 219 Entering the ruins, Peach Demon Valley!
Lin Chen frowned slightly after hearing this.

Do I have to pay spirit stones to enter the ruins and explore?
Lin Chen glanced at Jiang Liqian, then at Li Zhenqian and Zhou Tieshan.

There was a flash of anger in Li Zhenqian's eyes.

Could this ancient relic have an owner?

Unless they can produce evidence to prove that the relic belongs to them!
Besides, one thousand spirit stones per person doesn't sound like much...

But in the few months since it opened, at least ten thousand monks have come to explore.

The amount of spirit stones paid was in the tens of millions!

Lin Chen made a gesture, signaling Li Zhenqian to stay calm.

Then he asked with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist, this relic is an unowned land, why do we have to pay spirit stones?"

"Fellow Daoist... 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 level.

The Jindan monk who was blocking the road also explained:

"Who said this relic has no owner?"

"My master is Linglong Zhenren, the eighteenth-generation descendant of the Longling Sect... After the ruins of the Longling Sect were revealed, my master did not hide them or prevent other cultivators from entering to explore. He was 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 eighteenth generation successor come from?

I think it is a fabricated identity.

But this Jindan cultivator looked confident and then took out two more objects.

A token and a sheepskin map.

"My master is selfless, and it is not in vain to take these thousand spirit stones."

"Here is a token. If any monk holding this token falls into danger in the ruins, my master will provide help if he happens to meet him..."

"And this map contains detailed routes outside the ruins, which can also help you explore."

Lin Chen frowned slightly after hearing this.

A token and a map cost one thousand spirit stones?
Lin Chen quickly glanced at the map. It was only ten spirit stones per map in the market and was not worth anything at all.

At this moment, several monks dressed in gorgeous clothes arrived at the entrance of the ruins in a spirit boat.

The monk in gorgeous clothes who was leading the group didn't even say a word, he just showed a card.

The Jindan cultivator who was blocking the road immediately changed his attitude and said in a flattering manner:

"It turns out that it is the distinguished guest who has come... Come in quickly."

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

As he spoke, the Jindan cultivator took out a more detailed map and handed it over along with the token.

The nobleman just nodded slightly and did not take it.

The servant at the side put away the map token, and the few of them went straight into the ruins of Longling Sect.

"Goodbye, my lord!"

Seeing the monk in gorgeous clothes walk into the ruins, the Jindan monk still shouted with a flattering look on his face.

Lin Chen curled the corner of his mouth when he saw this. This guy really changes 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?"

"Each of us will have to pay one thousand spirit stones!"

The Jindan cultivator who was blocking the road immediately looked disdainful after hearing this. He looked them up and down and sneered:
"That noble man is the son of the president of the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce... Where are you from?"

"We are monks from Changchun Sect!"

Li Zhenqian directly introduced himself.

"Eternal Spring Gate?"

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

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

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

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

Li Zhenqian became furious upon hearing this, and fluctuations of magical power spread throughout his body.

"You've gone too far. I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

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

At this moment, Lin Chen received a message from Jiang Liqian.

Lin Chen, who had been silent, suddenly smiled.

"Haha, of course you are the descendant of the Dragon Spirit Sect... you should pay the one thousand spirit stones!"

"Fellow Daoist, my fellow disciples have never seen the world... Please don't be offended!"

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

He skillfully took out a spirit stone bag.

"Fellow Daoist, please forgive me. There are five thousand spirit stones in this bag... just as the expenses for the four of us."

The Jindan cultivator who was blocking the road relaxed a little after hearing this, then turned back to look at the angry Li Zhenqian and became annoyed again.

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

He raised his head and stared at the smiling Lin Chen.

A drop of cold sweat ran down his forehead, and his body was completely unable to move!
Lin Chen's arm, which was placed on his shoulder, seemed to convey an infinite force.

As long as he moved...it felt like his shoulder was about to break.

After a while, the Jindan cultivator who was blocking the way finally stepped back and forced a smile.

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

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

He stuffed the bag of spirit stones into the monk's arms, and took out four tokens and four detailed maps.

Then he took Li Zhenqian and a few others away.

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

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

"Lin Chen, why are you so cowardly? How can a cultivator like me... be insulted like this?"

Lin Chen glanced at him calmly and said, "It's better to have less trouble than more. Five thousand spirit stones are not a lot."

Li Zhenqian was still furious when he heard this, but Lin Chen ignored him.

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

Jiang Liqian nodded and said in a voice transmission:
"That Linglong Zhenren is a cultivator in the early stage of Yuanying, and he was a robbery cultivator for a while in his early years."

"Later, he was recruited by several neutral forces and managed to survive in the three cities of Daodao. However, he is a vindictive person with cruel methods, so he should not be easily provoked..."

"The Dragon Spirit Sect ruins were discovered by him and another Yuanying Zhenren together."

"After exploring for a long time without any results, I came up with the idea of ​​selling tickets to enter the ruins."

After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded slightly. It was indeed unnecessary to offend two Nascent Soul True Immortals just for four thousand spirit stones.

Moreover, four thousand spirit stones are really nothing to Lin Chen at the moment.

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

One thousand spirit stones is not a small amount for a cultivator who has completed the foundation building stage, but it can be obtained by gritting one's teeth.

It is nothing for a Jindan cultivator, and there is no need to offend two Yuanying cultivators for it.

As for the disciples from those big forces, they were probably already on the whitelist.

The monks under Linglong Zhenren who collected money would also be polite and never mention the matter of collecting money...

"Alas, in the end... the ones who suffer are still the cultivators from small forces and independent cultivators..."

Lin Chen sighed in his heart.

At this time, Jiang Liqian continued to transmit:
"Brother Lin, that token is actually proof that Master Linglong has found many cultivators in the ruins."

"If you encounter one, just show your token... Otherwise you will be harassed more and it won't be worth it..."

Lin Chen's eyes went dark after hearing this voice transmission. An exploration of the ruins was played out by the Spirit Dragon Master.

If you pay protection fees, you will not be protected; if you don’t pay, you will be targeted.

Well, this is very robbed...

"It seems that even after being cleansed, Master Linglong is still not honest... Hehe, he is just a bully."

Lin Chen sneered in his heart.

He always seeks revenge, but now is not the time for it.

Now that they have offended Lin Chen, the ones who will be looking for Master Long Ling are the Feng Ling Yue Ying Sect.

Lin Chen silently wrote down Master Linglong in his little notebook.

……

After entering the ruins, Lin Chen distributed several tokens.

At this time, Jiang Liqian also shared the information she had obtained.

"According to the information I have collected, the ruins of the Dragon Spirit Sect are divided into two parts, the inner and outer parts. We are currently on the outer part of the ruins."

Jiang Liqian took out a map, pointed to the three words "Peach Demon Valley" marked on the map, and explained:
"The outer perimeter of the Dragon Spirit Sect ruins is divided into four areas, namely Peach Demon Valley, Gravel Pool, Dragon Tooth Plank Road, and Chaos Heart Palace."

"We are currently in the Peach Demon Valley. If we go through the first three areas, we will reach the Chaos Heart Palace."

"Only by passing through the Chaos Heart Palace can we reach the deep core of the Dragon Spirit Sect ruins."

Jiang Liqian put the map away, took out a compass, and quickly determined the direction.

"There are many peach blossom monster trees in this Peach Monster Valley. Although the threat is limited... it is still quite troublesome."

As he spoke, Jiang Liqian handed over a few bottles of pills.

"This is a specially made detoxifying pill that can prevent the pollen from the Peach Blossom Demon Tree."

"The pollen will make your body itch extremely badly, even a Jindan cultivator will have difficulty resisting it. Remember... take one pill every quarter of an hour, otherwise the pollen will stick to your body and make you feel uncomfortable..."

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

Li Zhenqian and Zhou Tieshan also took it one after another.

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

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Since we are going to explore the secret realm, we must collect enough information. Many cultivators are proud of their outstanding strength, but sometimes they fail..."

After hearing this, Lin Chen was pleased.

Jiang Liqian is the type who plans before acting, so Lin Chen doesn't have to worry too much when following her to explore the ruins.

Everyone followed Jiang Liqian and walked for several miles.

There are more and more peach trees around. Originally, you had to walk dozens of meters to see one.

In the end, there were peach trees every few steps.

A large peach forest appeared in front of us. The peach trees were extremely tall and dense.

The leaves above the head connected into a piece, almost covering the sky.

Lin Chen observed the peach blossom 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 more flowers and fewer leaves, and emits pollen that floats in the wind.

After walking a few more miles, Jiang Liqian took out a pill and said:

"Take the second detoxification 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 to touch it.

When Lin Chen withdrew his arm, he found a small red spot on the back of his hand.

Slightly itchy.

Lin Chen's heart moved slightly and he started to practice the Evergreen Technique.

The pink color quickly disappeared.

Jiang Liqian looked surprised when he saw this.
“Senior Brother Lin’s cultivation is indeed profound. Although this peach blossom demon is only a second-level demon plant, its pollen cannot be contaminated by ordinary middle-stage Jindan…”

"Brother, with his advanced cultivation, was able to force out the poison from the flower."

Lin Chen smiled when he heard this, but he didn't act rashly and took a detoxification pill obediently.

Seeing this, Li Zhenqian began to feel competitive and did not rush to take the detoxification pill. He just touched the pollen in the air.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhenqian felt his skin itching.

He had an urge to scratch it desperately. He was terrified and quickly took a detoxification pill. The itching gradually subsided.

After the poison was removed, Li Zhenqian felt uncomfortable.

Lin Chen was able to easily dissolve the poison, but he almost made a fool of himself on the spot.

"Cough cough."

Li Zhengan coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and was slightly relieved when he saw that no one noticed him.

The four of them walked forward for several miles, and Jiang Liqian suddenly stopped.

"Please wait a moment, there is a lot of demon peach gum here."

Jiang Liqian did not take the path in the peach forest, but instead walked dozens of steps deeper into the forest.

Then they stopped under a huge peach tree.

He took out a jade dagger and scratched the roots of the evil peach tree a few times.

Soon, a ball of transparent, pink gelatinous substance was dug out.

Jiang Liqian took out the jade bottle and carefully put the peach gum in it.

"Demon peach gum is an excellent medicinal substance. It has a mild and nourishing medicinal property. It can be used in many third-level and even fourth-level elixirs."

"The older it is, the more valuable it is! Don't underestimate this small bottle, it's worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones."

Jiang Li smiled sweetly and explained.

"Demon beasts cannot cultivate as fast as humans. Their cultivation speed is extremely slow, especially tree-type monsters, which grow even slower."

"It takes more than two hundred years of peach magic to enter the second-level monster. It can give birth to peach blossoms and release pollen to resist enemies. It also produces peach gum..."

After hearing this, Lin Chen's heart was slightly moved and he asked:
"Then, in this demon peach forest, are there any peach demons that can grow peaches?"

Jiang Liqian nodded upon hearing this and said:
"Of course there are. Only demon peach trees that are over a thousand years old can bear peaches. Eating peaches can improve your cultivation. It is very beneficial to Jindan cultivators."

"However, thousand-year-old peach trees are extremely rare. There are probably only a few in this Demonic Peach Valley... Even if there are any, they have probably been picked by others."

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

But then Lin Chen frowned slightly, as if the spiritual consciousness was suppressed a lot in the Peach Demon Valley.

Lin Chen's spiritual sense, which was beyond the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, could now only be released within a hundred feet around his body.

But soon, Lin Chen found what he wanted.

"Wait for me for a moment..."

Lin Chen took out a jade knife and quickly shuttled through the peach forest.

A moment later, Lin Chen returned with several jade bottles in his hands, all filled with peach gum.

The value of these few bottles of peach gum alone is probably one or two million spirit stones.

"What good luck." Li Zhenqian's eyes were filled with envy.

So many spirit stones are enough for him to practice for decades.

Jiang Liqian's heart was slightly moved, and he praised: "Brother, your spiritual awareness is indeed outstanding... You can find so many peach gums."

"But... the detoxification pills are limited, so let's move forward as quickly as possible."

After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded slightly, and the four of them walked forward for a long time.

Lin Chen only remembered that he took a total of five detoxification pills.

But this peach monster forest is too large, and the four of them have not yet walked out.

Suddenly, Lin Chen paused and asked:

"Did you hear any noise?"
