Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 277 The Curtain Rises, the Ruins of the Martial Arts Palace
Situ Island, market town.

Lin Chen sat in a tea shop, sipping tea leisurely.

There was an endless stream of monks and mortals coming and going, all discussing the matter.

"Hey, have you heard? Three hundred miles south of Situ Island, an underwater ruin appeared."

"The ruins were first discovered by a Jindan cultivator. I heard that the ruins are huge, and there are countless spiritual medicines, elixirs, magic weapons, etc...."

"Not only that! I heard that the ruins are not dangerous. As long as you have the foundation building skills, you can explore it."

"Just bring out some spiritual medicines and pills, and you can sell them for thousands of spiritual stones!"

"I heard there are ancient techniques... there are also Nascent Soul techniques!"

The sound of the monks' discussions continued to reach my ears.

News of Meteor Islands spread quickly.

It has only been a week since this relic was discovered.

But the news spread throughout Situ Island and even to hundreds of islands of all sizes in the Meteor Islands.

Including the four major families, there are also a number of independent cultivators who have formed a group to explore the ruins...

In just seven days, hundreds of monks entered.

More than seventy people returned alive.

A survival rate of 70% is already extremely impressive in the exploration of ruins.

What's more, everyone who came back alive made a fortune.

Even those who just took a walk around the periphery of the ruins could make a lot of money.

As a result, a trend of exploring the ruins swept across the Meteor Islands.

In the past few days, dozens of large exploration teams have prepared to explore the marine ruins.

Soon, a dozen monks in tight clothes walked to the center of the market.

"Everyone, we are the exploration team established by the Situ family, led by the eldest daughter of the Situ family."

"We provide magic weapons and talismans, and we have a set sea route along the way, so the loss rate is extremely low..."

"We are now recruiting five fellow Taoists who have reached Perfect Foundation Establishment or above to explore the ruins together... If there are any fellow Taoists who are willing to go with us, please register quickly."

In the center of the market town, a middle-aged monk with a mustache raised his voice, quickly attracting a lot of people's attention.

The monks around quickly gathered over and watched the excitement.

"I have been in the process of building a perfect foundation for ten years. I want to sign up!"

"I am a half-step golden elixir, I want to sign up too!"

A dozen monks raised their hands, wanting to join the ruins exploration team.

After all, the Situ family's expedition team must be much safer.

The maritime ruins that have been widely talked about in recent days have also made these foundation-building and golden elixir cultivators eager to give it a try.

Lin Chen slowly stood up and walked out of the tea shop.

After taking a look at the Situ family's team, his eyes finally fell on the eldest daughter of the Situ family.

The information about the eldest daughter of the Situ family flashed through his mind.

"Situ Yingying, a ninth-level golden elixir cultivator, is less than two hundred years old. She is the niece of Situ Wuji and the biological daughter of the current head of the Situ family..."

"Good talent, likes adventure..."

Lin Chen thought silently, then raised his hand.

"Fourth level golden elixir, can I go with you?"

Lin Chen's voice quickly attracted the attention of people around him.

Even in the Meteor Islands, Jindan monks are not that common.

Most of the Jindan cultivators joined the four major families.

There are not many fourth-level golden elixirs among casual cultivators.

Lin Chen successfully blended into this team.

Half an hour later, the expedition team was recruited and ready to head to the maritime ruins.

Arriving at the port of Situ Island, the Jindan monk with a mustache said:
"My fellow Taoists, although the sea ruins are not very dangerous, they are not far from Situ Island."

"But please follow my instructions along the way. Get on the spirit boat first... and follow the established route to the ruins."

After hearing this, the recruited independent cultivators all agreed.

The journey was three hundred miles, and the spirit boat arrived safely after sailing on the sea for less than half an hour.

Soon, a deep sea whirlpool appeared in front of the spirit boat.

This vortex was like an undercurrent, and it was about to suck the spirit boat into it...

Seeing this, the Jindan cultivator of the Situ family reminded:

"Don't panic, everyone. Below this vortex is an underwater ruin. The spirit boat just needs to enter the ruins..."

After hearing this, the independent cultivators on the ship felt much more at ease.

Lin Chen looked at the vortex with a calm expression.

Soon, the spirit boat was swallowed by a huge vortex. After a shake, everyone on the spirit boat appeared in a huge space.

Before our eyes is a huge palace complex that has been destroyed for who knows how many years.

There are seaweed and various marine plants underfoot.

A huge transparent bubble wraps the entire ruins.

Through this layer of transparent bubbles, you can seem to see what's happening outside the ocean.

In addition to Lin Chen's exploration team, more than ten other exploration teams can be seen with the naked eye within a radius of several hundred meters.

"My fellow Taoists, please take out your water-repellent beads first."

"This underwater ruin seems to be too old, so seawater occasionally flows back into it..."

"If you don't have water-repellent beads, my Situ family can borrow one temporarily."

As she spoke, Situ Yingying took out a few transparent round beads.

Water-repellent beads are worthless in the Meteor Islands.

Most foundation-building cultivators would prepare a few of them.

"At present, the perimeter of this underwater ruins has been basically explored, and the perimeter is about ten miles in radius."

"And at the core of the ruins is an ancient temple, which is blocked by a formation restriction... It was set up by a Nascent Soul Formation Master and has not yet been broken..."

Situ Yingying obviously knew a lot of information. She pointed to the palace complex in front and explained.

"Let's explore the periphery first. After our Situ family's formation master breaks the ancient palace formation, we will explore the palace..."

The monks on the side nodded in agreement after hearing this.

Ruins exploration is not uncommon in the Meteor Islands.

Every few years, underwater ruins may appear, most of which are lost ancient monastic civilizations.

Therefore, the four major families will set up underwater exploration teams to explore these ruins.

The group explored the periphery of the ruins.

After exploring for only a few moments, there were exclamations from the team.

"It's Dragon Spirit Grass. It looks like it's at least three thousand years old!"

A foundation-building cultivator in the team discovered a dragon spirit grass, which immediately aroused the envy of those around him.

The Jindan cultivator of the Situ family also spoke out in time:
"My fellow Daoist, my Situ family is willing to sell this Dragon Spirit Grass for 100,000 Spirit Stones. Are you willing to sell it?"

"Yes! I'm so willing!"

This casual cultivator of foundation building looked very excited. One hundred thousand spirit stones were more than enough for him to buy a Golden Yuan Pill and make his way to the Golden Pill stage!

He didn't expect that he would be so lucky. He just wandered around the ruins and found a dragon spirit grass.

As a result, the other monks were even more excited and explored desperately.

Lin Chen was walking on the small path in the ruins. When he stepped on something, there was a sudden click.

Lin Chen curled the corner of his mouth.

He bent down and picked up a long sword that looked a little worn out.

"Is it the prototype of a spiritual weapon? It seems to be a little damaged..."

"My goodness, even if it's just a broken prototype of a spiritual weapon, it's worth at least 300,000 spiritual stones, right?"

Someone in the team exclaimed again, saying that they didn't expect Lin Chen to be so lucky.

When walking on the road, you can step on the broken prototypes of spiritual weapons.

Situ Yingying was also a little surprised, but she still stepped forward and said:

"Fellow Daoist, are you willing to sell this prototype of the spiritual weapon? My Situ family offers 800,000 spiritual stones..."

After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded and agreed. The price of 800,000 spirit stones was quite reasonable.

So he sold it.

So, the group continued to explore the ruins.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

As time goes by, the number of monks in the ruins increases.

Two to three thousand individual cultivators and family cultivators from various islands in the Meteor Islands came to this relic.

This attracted almost one-tenth of the monks in Meteor Islands.

The reason is simple: the ruins are of low danger and are too close to the Meteor Islands.

Even without the help of a spirit boat, a Jindan cultivator could still arrive there by flying on a spirit boat.

The proximity, great rewards, and low danger are what attracted so many monks to explore in such a short period of time.

While Lin Chen was "exploring", his spiritual consciousness was always paying attention to the palace complex in the distance.

In the core area of ​​the ruins, there is a huge formation restriction that completely separates it.

At this moment, the four major families all sent out formation masters to try to break the formation ruins.

"According to the time, it should be almost broken..."

Lin Chen thought to himself, looking towards the palace complex.

Another quarter of an hour later, a huge wave spread out from the core area of ​​the ruins.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sudden earthquake, and then the light curtain slowly dissipated.

The palace in the core area was revealed before everyone's eyes. "The formation restriction has been broken, hurry!"

"Go and see!"

Shouts soon rang out all around.

"If you go too late, there will be no good things..."

Then, thousands of monks took off into the air and rushed towards the core palace of the ruins.

Situ Yingying's expression also changed slightly, and she said softly:
"Everyone, hurry to the core of the ruins."

Lin Chen also followed the crowd and rushed there.

After a few breaths, thousands of monks saw a shocking scene.

It was a huge palace hundreds of feet high, simple and full of charm.

Even though it has been through thousands of years of testing, it still looks brand new.

In front of the palace is a huge square covering an area of ​​one mile.

There are hundreds of stone tables in the square, and on each stone table there is an antique wooden box.

"Ancient monks' ruins, the Martial Arts Palace..."

"Martial Arts Palace? Have you heard of this relic? When was this sect built?"

Soon, the monks around started talking again.

They all saw that on the plaque in front of the huge palace, there were three large characters written in a flamboyant style.

Martial Arts Palace!
Just when thousands of monks were wondering, suddenly a voice full of the breath of time was heard.

"The road to immortality is long, and talent is determined by heaven!"

“Those who are favored by the heavens can reach the Nascent Soul stage in a hundred years, and become gods in two hundred years, and ascend to the spiritual world.”

"However, those with mediocre talent may not be able to break through the foundation building process in a hundred years, and will eventually become nothing more than a handful of yellow earth."

"To a cultivator, ordinary people are no different from ants and grass..."

"But we cultivators are originally mortals! How can we forget our roots?"

A long and distant voice was heard, as if there was an invisible force that made all the monks who heard the voice tremble all over.

"Is this, a relic inheritance? Is there another test in this relic?"

Some monks were talking about it, feeling confused and uncertain.

And the voice continued to come, saying shockingly:
“So, I created the Martial Arts Palace, so that all living beings in the world can have strength to compete with cultivators and immortals!”

"Anyone who practices martial arts, regardless of their aptitude, can contend with a Qi-refining cultivator in three years, and a foundation-building cultivator in ten years..."

"Thirty years can be comparable to a golden elixir, and a hundred years can defeat a Yuanying!"

After hearing this voice, thousands of monks in the ruins were shocked.

"This...how is this possible?"

"Are you kidding? Everyone in the world can practice... It takes three years to compete with a Qi Refining cultivator, and ten years to compete with a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

"Then I'll continue to cultivate immortality... I'll cultivate the hammer immortality!"

"It's fake, it must be fake!"

"The Yuanying Patriarch is invincible in the mortal world, how could he be defeated by a mere warrior?"

Many monks were skeptical.

There are many warriors in the world of immortal cultivation, but almost all of them are no match for Qi-refining cultivators.

Even the ancient physical cultivators mostly practice slowly and have long been eliminated by the times.

But even though thousands of monks were skeptical, they still listened to the voice.

"Since the founding of the Martial Arts Palace, it has been more than 137,600 years..."

"I am the 172nd Palace Master of the Martial Arts Palace. Due to a major change, I preserved the inheritance when the sect was destroyed and waited to be born three thousand years later..."

"In this palace, there are 563 copies of our martial arts palace's supreme skills..."

"Anyone who steps into the ruins of my martial arts palace is a predestined person and can learn this martial arts technique. I hope you will pass on this martial arts technique to the world..."

"May you all have a long and lasting martial arts path and an immortal great path!"

"May the martial arts flourish~"

"The martial arts are flourishing~"

The sound echoed in the empty ruins square.

Thousands of monks saw this scene and heard this voice.

There was a flash of shock and disbelief in their eyes.

"Martial Arts Palace, passed down for 137,600 years?"

"...This, is this a sect from the ancient times? Could it be... a physical cultivation sect from the ancient times?"

"Who knows? This is too far-fetched... It's just a three thousand year old Dragon Spirit Flower, and other spiritual medicines are also three thousand years old!"

"Is this all true?"

"Yes! It is feasible to a certain extent!"

The scene was silent for a few breaths again.

"So, the things placed on those stone tables below are the supreme skills of the Martial Arts Palace?"

"After practicing for a hundred years, can one be comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

“Fake… It’s fake, right?”

Even though these monks said they didn't believe it, their actions were absolutely honest.

The cultivators from the four major families took the lead in taking action, and hundreds of Jindan cultivators rushed out, each of them grabbing the skills.

And those independent exploration teams were also unwilling to lag behind, and they had more people.

Almost one out of every two or three people grabbed the wooden box.

Lin Chen also took the opportunity to grab a wooden box...

Soon, a fight began.

The monks started fighting.

The cultivators who had obtained the skills wanted to run away, while those who had not obtained them wanted to steal them.

After dozens of breaths, hundreds of monks rushed out of the ruins and returned to the endless sea.

Situ Yingying also snatched a few volumes of martial arts techniques. Her face was flushed and it looked like she had just fought with someone.

She packed up the wooden box and soon found Lin Chen.

So he shouted:

"Fellow Daoist, this ruin is about to collapse...should we leave first?"

So, Lin Chen followed the monks of the Situ family and escaped.

Hundreds of spirit boats were fleeing in the endless sea, and one or two thousand monks escaped and fled towards Situ Island.

When the spirit boat arrived at Situ Island, Lin Chen did not say goodbye, but turned into a stream of light and flew towards the city market.

One or two thousand monks rushed to Situ Island, causing a fight and chaos.

After a moment of chaos, the Situ family took action personally and quelled the unrest.

Lin Chen had already taken advantage of the chaos to hide in a mansion.

The next day, he left Situ Island on a spirit boat and returned to Fufeng Island.

After returning to Fufeng Island, Lin Chen stayed temporarily in an inn.

Looking at the monks coming and going in the market, Lin Chen said silently:
"The seeds have been planted. Now we just need to add fuel to the flames..."

That’s right, this time the ruins of the Martial Arts Palace were naturally a big show directed and acted by Lin Chen himself.

In the ruins, the tens of thousands of spiritual herbs, countless magic weapons, skills, etc., all belong to Lin Chen.

It is not easy to ripen a three thousand year old elixir.

But fortunately, the Great Xia Kingdom’s foundation in cultivating immortals is much stronger than before.

Tens of thousands of foundation-building monks were dispatched, and they worked day and night for three consecutive months to ripen the herbs, and finally they obtained this batch of spiritual medicines.

As for magic weapons, weapons and the like, that is even simpler.

There is a craft called old!
The defective magic weapons produced by Daxia naturally became magic weapons in the ruins through aging.

Anyway, after thousands of years, most of these magic weapons have lost their spirituality and are no longer useful.

It's all just for show.

As for those elixirs and techniques, they are even less valuable...

Only the layout of the ruins took Lin Chen a lot of thought.

It took Lin Chen nearly half a year to decorate this relic.

Use earth escape techniques to build palaces and ruins...

Set up a formation and prohibition to isolate the inside and outside of the ruins.

Even the Jindan cultivator who accidentally discovered the ruins a week ago was also instigated by Lin Chen behind the scenes.

Time is running out, no matter how well Lin Chen does.

These martial arts palace ruins all have flaws.

But now, the ruins have been destroyed.

Even if someone wanted to investigate afterwards, it would be difficult to find out...

The most important thing is that the more than 500 volumes of martial arts breathing techniques left by Lin Chen were successfully circulated.

Anyone who practices martial arts breathing techniques is a disciple of the Martial Arts Palace!
"Haha, after some time, there will be more than 500 volumes..."

"That's five thousand or even fifty thousand volumes of breathing techniques!"

Lin Chen's mouth corners slightly raised.

The tenth generation martial arts breathing method has a much lower difficulty level than before.

Moreover, the techniques are all words and patterns, so it is very easy to copy them...

"Next, it depends on how this incident develops..."

Looking at the monks coming and going on the street, Lin Chen murmured.
