In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 173 Peeping
When Xie Lingxin and her entourage walked out of the Bianri Hall.

The crowd of onlookers dispersed, disappointed.

The Dragon Palace Maze ended prematurely this time, something that had never happened before.

In their eagerness to see the spectacle, they even forgot the purpose of their visit.

This time, I'm destined not to see the Dragon King, nor will I be able to get any rewards.

What a waste of a ticket.

I did witness a rare spectacle.

The Bai family of Donghai suffered another great loss at the hands of that young prodigy, even losing their family's prized martial arts palm technique.

Even more unbelievable is that Jing Shiqi, who is hailed as the greatest scholar of classical studies in the Far East in the last hundred years, returned to his hometown for the first time in many years, only to suffer a crushing defeat in his own field of expertise!
As the news spreads among these people, it is destined to cause another shock in the East China Sea.

Among the dispersing crowd.

There was a figure wearing a pink mask, and even the loose ancient costume dress could not hide her alluring figure.

Only her eyes were visible, with narrow, slightly upturned corners that resembled hooks, captivating the eye.

Watching Xie Lingxin's departing figure, he spoke with a smile:
"This kid is really surprising, he's good-looking too..."

Beside her was Labubu, a woman with red hair.

Are you sure the thief you're looking for is him?

Labu gritted his teeth: "It's him! There's absolutely no mistake!"

"Cuckoo..."

The masked woman chuckled softly: "Alright, I'll take your job."

Labubu frowned and said, "So straightforward? Let me tell you, this kid is not to be trifled with. Just do what you're supposed to do, get the things back for me, and teach this kid a lesson. Don't cause any more trouble."

The woman chuckled: "Oh, you heartless, unscrupulous merchant, always lawless and brazen, even daring to swindle the Bai family of Donghai, are you afraid of such a young punk?"

Labubu said, "You saw it just now. He's no ordinary person. Even the two dragons of the East Sea couldn't get the better of him when they joined forces. If you don't want to die, don't have any crooked thoughts."

"No matter how extraordinary he is, he's still just a kid who hasn't even grown up yet."

The woman laughed and said, "Times have changed. Fighting? What good is fighting? I have plenty of ways to deal with this kind of brat."

Looking into the woman's alluring eyes, where seductive charm swirled, Labubu suddenly regretted asking her for help.

"It seems they're heading to the Ancient Dragon Abyss. Perfect, that place is more convenient for them."

The woman smiled and said, "This time, I'm thanking you for finding me such a good 'puppy.' You don't need to pay for the Dragon Abyss Token."

Labubu exclaimed in surprise, "You want...you're crazy?"

The woman chuckled, "I know what you're worried about. It's rare to have such outstanding talent, so it's only right to take some risks."

"I think you've gone mad! This deal is off! What you want to do is none of my business!"

After finishing his sentence, Labubu stormed off in anger.

If she wants revenge, why wouldn't she try to understand this person?

The more he learned, the more alarmed he became, and the more he felt that his chances of getting revenge were slim.

Not to mention that this petty thief is difficult to deal with, the Environmental Protection Bureau behind him is even more untouchable.

They brought this woman here only hoping to retrieve the magic pocket.

With their methods, even though the petty thief is capable of fighting, there are ways to deal with him.

But since this woman wanted to harm the petty thief, she couldn't play along.

Labubu wasn't afraid of the petty thief; what he feared was the Environmental Protection Bureau behind him.

For someone like her, who roams the underworld, the thing she fears most is government officials.

When the woman saw Labubu leave in anger, she just chuckled and didn't care.

Looking in the direction Xie Lingxin had left, his eyes flickered, and he too disappeared into the crowd.

……

"The ancient Dragon Abyss is a place that has existed for countless years longer than the Dragon Palace,"

"It contains a large number of legendary creatures. When the domain collapsed, the Dragon Palace fell into the Dead Zone, and the Dragon Abyss also turned into the Dead Zone."

"On the contrary, it has become a land of endless legendary creatures. This place is the greatest treasure in this dead zone."

"Most of the resources for cultivators in Donghai City come from here."

"This place is also a training ground for the major families of the East China Sea."

Li Jingzhe explained.

There are places like this?
Xie Lingxin pondered.

People online are so cunning; despite the immense popularity of the Dragon Palace Banquet, he couldn't find any related news online.

He only knew that the Dragon Palace Banquet contained all kinds of delicacies and fine wines, which were extremely beneficial to spiritual cultivation.

There were also rare and precious treasures in the mirage, which was thought to be the value of this dead zone.

I didn't expect there to be a monster-slaying dungeon.

"So your real purpose is this ancient Dragon Abyss?"

Li Jingzhe nodded: "That's right. The ancient creatures in this place include many strange beasts and monsters. Their flesh and inner cores can be used to refine elixirs, each with its own miraculous effects."

"Among them is a kind of ancient turtle that has lived for ten thousand years. Its inner core can be used to refine longevity pills to help people increase their lifespan. This is our purpose this time."

Li Miaoyin tugged at him: "Brother! Why are you explaining this so clearly?"

Li Jingzhe glanced at her: "If you want someone's help, you should make it clear. How many times have I told you? Be honest and straightforward, and stop trying to scheme against people."

"If you only think about how to benefit yourself and let others suffer losses, in the end you will only be the one who suffers."

Li Miaoyin pouted and said impatiently, "Ugh! I know, I know! Always lecturing, isn't it annoying?" She then turned to Xie Lingxin and said, "Hey, now that you know, you're not going to try and raise the price, are you?"

"Let me tell you, no way! Longevity pills are rare, but they're not uncommon. They're sold in the market. We can just buy them directly!"

Xie Ling thought to herself, "Then why don't you just go and buy it directly? Why bother with all this trouble?"

Li Jingzhe said, "There is indeed a possibility that longevity pills exist in the sea market, but it depends on luck, and the price is extremely high."

"Miaoyin and I have been here several times before, but we haven't run into each other, so we decided to go into the Dragon Abyss Land by ourselves."

"elder brother!"

Li Miaoyin was speechless.

You've revealed all your cards, aren't you just making it obvious that they're going to try and raise the price?

Neither of them paid any attention to her.

Xie Lingxin shook the talisman at her waist: "How much is this worth?"

Li Jingzhe said, "The Ancient Dragon Abyss was originally a training ground for the dragon race. Even the dragons themselves cannot enter it at will."

"But now that it's become a dead zone, the restrictions have been lifted. This Dragon Abyss Token is the proof of entry into the Dragon Abyss,"

"These talismans come in three forms: dragon, turtle, and fish, each corresponding to one of the three levels of access tokens,"

"The ancient Dragon Abyss is unfathomably deep. According to the Dragon Palace, it has three levels, but so far, only the second level has been explored by humans, and no one can go any deeper."

"Logically, dragon-shaped talismans should be the most valuable, but because of this, nobody wants them. As for the price, it varies from person to person; some are willing to pay a high price to hoard them, while others think they are worthless."

"The fish-shaped talisman can only be used on the first level, and its market price is approximately 50 spirit stones."

"The tortoise-shaped talisman can pass through the first and second levels and is the most valuable, containing at least one spirit bead."

He paused for a moment and then said, "Actually, the main reason I invited you to come along is to ask you to go to the second level of Dragon Abyss with me."

"The legendary creatures in that place are at least level 10 or higher, and some may even be level 20 or higher,"

"Entering this place without reaching the title level is extremely dangerous."

As for the Dragon Abyss Token, although it is rare, the Dragon Palace Dead Zone has been around for so long that there are quite a few of them, and they can always be bought in the Sea Market.

Unexpectedly, Xie Lingxin swept up all the rewards from this maze.

Xie Lingxin couldn't help but look at the string of talismans at her waist.

Of the twelve stone tablets in the Wenyun Hall, Jing Shiqi deciphered three, and he deciphered the remaining nine.

There are three dragon-shaped pieces, four fish-shaped pieces, and two turtle-shaped pieces.

So, excluding the dragon shape, I only have two spirit beads, totaling 200 spirit essences.
hiss~
It’s been done!

Xie Ling thought for a moment, then tossed a tortoise-shaped talisman to Li Jingzhe, saying in his surprised gaze:
"In that case, I won't charge you for the talisman. Isn't your goal the inner core of the ten-thousand-year-old turtle?"

"If you find it, it's yours. But once you go inside, all the spiritual energy and spiritual energy beads you get will be mine."

Li Miaoyin's eyes widened immediately: "You're being too greedy! Do you even know how many legendary creatures are inside? Do you want us to work for you for free?"

Xie Lingxin shrugged: "If you don't want to, then forget it."

He felt that this ancient Dragon Abyss was a place tailor-made for him.

The Pure Bottle Dew, the Jade Date Cave, the Jade Date Tree, and the Male and Female Sword Boxes I just received all need to be nourished with spiritual energy.

In addition, the true form of Lei Zu also consumes spiritual energy.

I'm practically a spiritual black hole!
I was just wondering where to farm some spirit essence, and this is such a perfect opportunity!
Li Jingzhe is a master; with him around, I can not only accelerate the collection of spiritual matter, but also have an extra layer of insurance.

To avoid encountering ancient creatures that they cannot deal with.

"Okay, I agree."

Li Jingzhe stopped his sister: "Moreover, if the harvest this time is less than two spirit beads, I will make up the difference for you. If we get the turtle bead, I will give you another reward."

Xie Lingxin was delighted: "It's a deal!"

It's a fool not to take advantage of a good deal!
"Hmph! Two lunatics!"

Li Miaoyin stomped her feet in anger.

Xie Ling thought to herself, "Let's go! Let's go now!"

Li Jingzhe said, "Aren't you going to the Dragon Palace Banquet? You are now qualified to see the Dragon King."

"No need. Time is limited, why waste it on eating and drinking?"

Xie Lingxin waved her hand.

Having been to a place called Dragon Abyss, he had absolutely no interest in the delicacies served at the Dragon Palace Banquet.

Moreover, he recalled the middle-aged man in the Bianri Hall, and if he was not mistaken, he should be able to meet the Dragon King soon.

The middle-aged man's saying, "Fate cannot be defied," is quite thought-provoking.

"it is good."

Li Jingzhe naturally wouldn't object.

Tong Huohuo then tugged at Xie Lingxin and whispered, "Have you forgotten what our mission is?"

Oh, I think so...

"Why don't you scout around here first?"

Xie Ling thought for a moment, then tossed him a fish-shaped token: "Here, take this as your travel expenses."

Tong Huohuo swallowed hard, took back what he was about to say, and said emphatically, "Don't worry! Even if those guys disappear into the ocean trench, I'll drag them out!"

Xie Lingxin patted his shoulder heavily: "I believe in you!"

"Ok!"
