Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 224: Distributing the harvest, the Palace of Confusion!

Lin Chen remained silent upon hearing this and did not answer.

Elder Taoyao looked unhappy when he saw this, but he still said:
"Are you going to search for the Dragon Spirit Grass deep in the ruins?"

"Good boy...you are really greedy."

He thought for a while and said:
"Half a day. You can still stay in the ruins for half a day."

"I will send the other monks away first... If you still don't leave the ruins after half a day, it will be considered a second favor for you."

Lin Chen curled his lips after hearing this. This old man Tao Yao was also a shrewd monster.

But he did not refuse and nodded:

"Okay, senior... please wait a moment."

After saying that, Lin Chen came to Li Zhenqian and Zhou Tieshan and said:
"After you two leave the ruins, find a place to hide as soon as possible... I will contact you after Junior Sister Jiang and I get out."

As he spoke, Lin Chen took out two hundred spiritual peaches and handed them to the two of them.

"Pick up these peaches first, and don't follow the ruins next."

Zhou Tieshan naturally listened to Lin Chen's words obediently.

Although Li Zhenqian was reluctant, his eyes almost turned red after seeing these peaches.

How precious these spiritual peaches are can be seen from the monks who died before.

A spiritual peach is worth at least 100,000 spiritual stones or even more!
Moreover, this thing is priceless in the outside world!
Divided into two, Li Zhenqian would get at least tens of millions of spirit stones.

This is much better than their exploration of the ruins!

Thinking of this, Li Zhenqian accepted the peach and hummed:

"Ahem, in that case... Junior Brother Zhou and I will go out and wait for you."

Li Zhenqian also knew that if they continued to stay, they would be a drag.

Lin Chen nodded slightly towards Elder Tao Yao.

Old man Tao Yao waved his hand, and two gusts of wind enveloped the four people.

Li Zhenqian and Zhou Tieshan were sent out of the ruins.

Lin Chen and Jiang Liqian were enveloped by one of the breezes, and the surrounding vision changed in an instant.

After a while, they landed in a strange place.

At the same time, the voice of Elder Tao Yao came to Lin Chen's ears:
"Young man, remember you only have half a day."

……

Jiang Liqian looked around carefully and saw a palace in front of him, covering an area of ​​more than a hundred feet.

The palace exudes an ancient atmosphere.

Jiang Liqian took out the map, compared it carefully, and said in surprise:

"That old man Taoyao sent us directly to the gate of Luanxin Palace!"

"This is the last level of the outer perimeter of the ruins! Once you pass this level, you can enter the inner perimeter of the ruins."

Lin Chen was a little surprised after hearing this and muttered, "It seems that old man Taoyao is not bad."

Teleporting directly to the gate of Luanxin Palace could at least save the two of them several hours.

Lin Chen did not rush into the palace, but took out a storage bag and handed it over.

"Junior Sister Jiang, you have made great efforts in entering the ruins this time... I will give you half of the remaining 4,000 spiritual peaches."

Jiang Liqian was a little surprised after hearing this. Lin Chen was really generous.

These four thousand spiritual peaches would definitely be an astronomical figure if converted into spiritual stones.

But Jiang Liqian shook his head and said:
"That won't do. You bought this peach by using a favor. You risked your life."

"Besides, too many spiritual peaches are useless to me... How about this, I only need 300 of them, that will be enough!"

Jiang Liqian thought about it, took away three hundred spiritual peaches, and returned the rest to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen did not hesitate. After putting the peach away, he looked at the palace in front of him and said:

"What is the origin of this Palace of Confusion?"

Jiang Liqian collected a lot of information. She said:
"The Heart-Confused Palace is an important place of the Dragon Spirit Sect. The palace is full of illusions..."

"It was used to sharpen the disciples' spiritual awareness and mind in the past."

"Only those with strong enough spiritual awareness or outstanding mental ability can pass through the palace successfully."

After a pause, Jiang Liqian continued:
"According to intelligence, there are not many monks who can successfully reach the Palace of Confused Heart."

"Almost no one has made it past this stage. I heard that two Nascent Soul cultivators successfully entered the ruins... and picked a few Dragon Spirit Grasses."

Lin Chen nodded after hearing this, "If that's the case, then let's go in."

After saying that, Lin Chen mobilized his body-protecting true energy and took the lead to walk towards the gate of the Mi Xin Palace.

Since the test is about spiritual consciousness, there is naturally no reason for Lin Chen to be afraid.

Jiang Liqian saw Lin Chen's relaxed steps and became even more curious about how Lin Chen got his confidence.

Lin Chen came to the entrance of the main hall of the Mi Xin Palace and pushed open the door.

The hall was empty, with nothing inside.

There are only many mysterious patterns engraved on the walls and the ground.

It looks like a formation, but also like a talisman...

Lin Chen looked ahead and saw the other end of the hall about a hundred feet away.

A half-hidden small door, which seemed to be the exit of the maze.

"Go through this maze and exit through that door... that's it."

Jiang Liqian came to Lin Chen and reminded him softly.

Lin Chen did not rush over. Instead, he squatted at the entrance of the hall, observing the strange words on the ground that looked like both a formation and a talisman.

Jiang Liqian saw Lin Chen's curious expression and explained:
"This is an array pattern. It is a method used by array pattern masters in ancient times. Nowadays, few people have mastered it."

"The array pattern is a combination of array method and talisman characters, hiding the power of the array method in these patterns..."

After hearing this, Lin Chen looked at Jiang Liqian with a little surprise.

He had read many ancient books, but had never heard of this formation.

Jiang Liqian's knowledge seemed to be so profound that she could even recognize such unpopular ancient skills.

Just as Lin Chen was surprised, Jiang Liqian had already taken a step forward.

After entering the hall, Lin Chen clearly felt that Jiang Liqian's eyes were dull for a moment.

After a short while, he regained consciousness and took the next step. In just over ten breaths, Jiang Liqian took several steps.

But Lin Chen also keenly discovered that Jiang Liqian's pace was getting slower and slower.

"Interesting... Every time I take a step, I fall into an illusion?"

"The closer we get to the exit, the stronger the illusion becomes and the more confusing it becomes... This Palace of Confusion does have some tricks up its sleeve."

Lin Chen carefully observed the palace.

The two doors are a hundred feet apart and are made up of different square floors.

Walking to the exit, the shortest route also has thirty-six floors.

If you step on every piece, you will need to go through at least thirty-six illusions.

This difficulty...is not low.

"But can we just step over it?"

While Lin Chen was deep in thought, Jiang Liqian had already passed through seven illusions and took seven steps.

She turned around and said, "Brother Lin, don't just stand there... There is no shortcut for this level. You need to pass through all thirty-six illusions. Otherwise, the exit will not open."

After hearing this, Lin Chen blinked, and without hesitation, he took the first step.

boom!
After Lin Chen took the first step, he heard bursts of laughter.

Lin Chen saw several beautiful women surrounding him, tempting him madly.

"Heh, pink skull."

Lin Chen sneered, easily saw through the illusion, and took the second step.

After he took the second step, the illusion around him changed again.

The beauties are more realistic and wear less clothing...

However, with Lin Chen's consciousness at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, he could still see through it easily.

Then, Lin Chen took more than ten steps within ten breaths...

He caught up with Jiang Liqian in one breath and came to her side.

Jiang Liqian was surprised when he saw this and exclaimed:
"Brother Lin's spiritual awareness...I'm afraid it's already comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, right?"

Lin Chen smiled and nodded:
"I had the chance to obtain a good spiritual power method before..."

Jiang Li didn't delve into it after hearing this. All cultivators have secrets, and sometimes it is more important to know when to stop.

Jiang Li smiled faintly and said:

"In that case, I won't wait for Senior Brother Lin..."

"Brother Lin, let's see who can reach the exit first?"

After saying that, Jiang Liqian moved forward again, taking another five or six steps in just ten breaths.

Lin Chen smiled without much reservation and followed Jiang Liqian closely.

This Palace of Confusion, which is extremely difficult for Jindan cultivators, does not seem to be that difficult for the two of them.

In just a few dozen breaths, the two had already walked more than thirty steps.

Of the thirty-six illusions, the two have already passed through thirty.

Only the last six are left...

Jiang Liqian looked at Lin Chen beside her with a smile in the corner of her eyes.

“Brother Lin, it looks so easy! But these last six illusions… don’t look that easy!”

Lin Chen frowned slightly when he heard this and looked at the formation pattern on the ground.

On the last six floors, the engraved array patterns are obviously more complex, and the corresponding illusions may also be more difficult.

However, Lin Chen didn't care and just smiled and said:

"In that case, then Senior Brother, let me start by throwing out some ideas..."

After saying that, Lin Chen took the first step forward.

After that, he just stood there without moving.

Jiang Liqian was standing aside, counting silently.

"one two Three……"

When he counted to the seventh time, Lin Chen opened his eyes and successfully got rid of the illusion.

"Brother took seven breaths, now it's my turn."

As he spoke, Jiang Liqian also took a step forward, and then stood there in a daze.

Lin Chen also counted silently.

Looking at Jiang Liqian who was completely unable to move and frowned, Lin Chen sighed softly:
"In this Palace of Confusion, we have to guard against more than just illusions..."

"If the monks who don't know each other try to pass the level at the same time, I'm afraid there will be others who need a place."

Fortunately, Lin Chen and Jiang Liqian were the only ones left in the Longling Sect ruins.

As long as they trust each other enough, there is naturally no need to worry about this.

At the same time, Lin Chen whispered in his heart: "One, two..."

When Lin Chen counted to the tenth breath, Jiang Liqian opened his eyes.

It was difficult for the cultivators trapped in the illusion to perceive the passage of time, so Jiang Liqian asked with a little doubt:
"Brother Lin, how long did it take me?"

Lin Chen pursed his lips and smiled: "Five breaths, Junior Sister Jiang is really amazing."

Jiang Liqian smiled sweetly after hearing this:

"Then Senior Brother Lin needs to work hard!"

After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded and took another step forward.

Ten breaths, fifteen breaths, twenty breaths, thirty breaths...

The further you go, the more realistic the illusion becomes and the higher the difficulty becomes.

Lin Chen stayed longer and longer, but never more than fifty breaths at most.

Jiang Liqian stayed longer than Lin Chen, but the difference was only 20%.

This made Lin Chen even more surprised.

"Junior Sister Jiang's spiritual power... seems to have reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul?"
