208 The Ghost of the Wood Palace
208 Wood Palace Spirit Monster
The second passage to the underground maze of Xianyuan Palace is the Wood Palace.
Ye Qin entered the Wood Palace from the teleportation array in time when he was caught up by the yellow-robed monk.
He almost cursed in anger, because in the teleportation array, he looked back and found that behind him was a seventh-level monk in the foundation-building stage of the scattered cultivator, who was responsible for guiding the monks and being the first to enter the maze.
Before Ye Qin waited for the maze to open in the Xianyuan side hall, he vaguely heard Han Xu mention that the yellow-robed monk was named Wei, and he was a monk with a higher status in the casual cultivator alliance and one of the deputy hall masters. Every time the maze was opened, a deputy hall master led everyone into the maze, so he was extremely familiar with the situation in the maze.
Ye Qin had to despise this Deputy Palace Master Wei.
Whoever finds the items in the maze will be given. This is the rule set by the Alliance of Random Cultivators. Deputy Palace Master Wei actually violated the rules and tried to steal the items he found first. Then don’t just open the maze. The people in the Alliance of Random Cultivators will dominate the place by themselves, and no one will fight for it.
What Ye Qin didn't know was that the opening of the maze to the outside world was actually a helpless move of the casual cultivator alliance. If they really had the power to dominate, they would not have opened up to the outside world at all.
This ancient maze of the Immortal Essence Hall requires huge energy to support. The ancient forbidden array in the maze automatically transforms into various illusion beasts above the foundation-building stage, which requires energy consumption, and this energy comes from the spirit stone.
It takes up to 20,000 low-grade spirit stones at one time to barely operate the maze ban formation. If you do not consume a large amount of spirit stones to open the ban formation, no one can enter the maze at all, let alone take out the items from it.
The financial resources of the Random Cultivator Alliance alone cannot support such huge consumption.
The Immortal Essence Maze is opened to the public, and fifty barrier talismans are sold each time, the price of each part is between 500 low-grade spirit stones and 1,000 low-grade spirit stones. The income from selling barrier talismans alone directly reclaims 25,000 to 50,000 low-grade spirit stones.
After deducting the spirit stones that activated the forbidden array, some of the additional spirit stones will be collected into the treasury of the Xianyuan City Cultivator Alliance. This maze forbidden array brings at least 10,000 low-grade spirit stones to the alliance every month, and is one of the important sources of income for the alliance.
For ordinary foundation-building monks from various sects and families, this is an adventure holy place where unexpected surprises can be found. For the Alliance of Random Cultivators, this is an important source of wealth, and the Alliance of Random Cultivators is naturally reluctant to close it.
If the Alliance of Cultivators alone paid the money and their own people went in, they would soon lose money because of the huge consumption of spirit stones. The Alliance of Cultivators had tried to stop opening up to the outside world, but only allowed the monks within the alliance to enter the maze, but they only obtained some items that were not very effective. As a result, after more than ten times, the Alliance of Cultivators suffered extremely heavy financial losses, and almost couldn't even get the salary in the alliance, so they had to reopen the maze.
Moreover, even if you open the maze, you may not be able to find good things left by the ancient monks every time you go in. Whether it is the alliance of wandering cultivators or foreign monks, they rely entirely on luck in the maze. Even if you break through the Immortal Essence Maze a hundred times, you may find nothing if you are unlucky. The random appearance of items is an idea that a certain ancient wandering cultivator came up under the evil realm, which made the junior monks in the Immortal Essence City very difficult.
Due to various reasons, the Alliance of Cultivators was reluctant to let the items left over from the ancient monks in the maze fall into the hands of outsiders, but it had to open the maze to the public to absorb a lot of financial resources and maintain the normal operation of the maze and the alliance.
The Deputy Palace Master Wei was so mentally at this moment. He said that he had entered the maze more than dozens of times and never encountered an item left by an ancient monk. This time he finally encountered one, but unexpectedly he was taken a step forward by a monk of unknown origin. He was so angry that he almost wanted to hit the wall. When people were in trouble, they choked on cold water. This is true.
Ye Qin complained to the yellow-robed monk because he was not sure about the real effect of this maze on the alliance of casual cultivators.
He has now been teleported to his eyes and looked at Kikumiya.
The passage of this Wood Palace is slightly larger, five meters wide and high, leading straight forward, and there are more and more forks turning behind. The terrain is similar to that of the Fire Palace. The only difference is that the wood-type illusion beast that appears in this Wood Palace should be a wood-type illusion beast.
Ye Qin sat cross-legged, drank the spiritual wine of a small gourd, and after recovering all his magic power, he checked the low-level magic weapon he carried with him, and then got up and flew into the depths of the wooden palace. After flying for several miles, he suddenly saw a withered ancient tree with almost a thick waist, and dozens of branches were twisted strangely. The roots of the ancient tree occupied almost half of the entire passage... No, it cannot be called a tree, it should be said to be a tree spirit.
"Strange!"
Ye Qin lost his voice and almost fell into trouble.
Monsters, rare birds, alien insects, and spirit monsters are four major categories in the world of immortal cultivation...uh, non-human cultivation creatures. Monsters are creatures running on the ground, rare birds are creatures flying in the sky, and alien insects are able to fly and climb. Spirit monsters refer to two types of creatures: wood and stone. Wood becomes spirit, and stone is called monsters.
The three types above are actually more common in the world of immortal cultivation, with five elements and three strange attributes. However, monsters are extremely rare, with only two attributes: wood and earth. These are spiritual objects nurtured by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and they are hard to come by. At least, Ye Qin has never seen the existence of monsters. He has only heard of such things in some anecdotes of Qingdan Sect.
Ye Qin looked at the ancient wood spirit in amazement. This was different from what he imagined. He originally thought that the monster that appeared in this wood palace was a monster of wood attribute, but he didn't expect it to be a monster. Moreover, this was a monster transformed from a willow tree, called the willow tree spirit!
Ye Qin couldn't help feeling a pity that such illusioned items could not be brought into the Purple Mansion. Otherwise, he would have the urge to poach the entire wood essence.
He released the Xuanyin Sword, drove the flying sword, and slashed at the wood spirit with one sword, and chopped it on the tree. He heard a loud "Clang!" sound, like the sound of gold and iron interlaced, the Xuanyin Sword was bounced away by the bark.
There was a gap of about one foot long and several inches deep on the skin of the willow tree spirit. However, this attack could hardly have any effect on the monster. The willow tree spirit had thick skin and rough flesh, which was harder than steel. "Crash", the dead branches of the willow tree spirit danced wildly, turning into countless sharp whips and whipping towards Ye Qin.
Ye Qin flew back quickly and flashed out of the airtight tree whip.
Wood spirit has a very strong defense, but its movement is very clumsy. It follows from behind and cannot catch up with Ye Qin at all.
He put away the Xuanyin Sword, replaced it with a fire-type purple sword to deal with the wood spirit monster, and turned it into a squat-long flame, and slashed it over. The power of the purple sword was obviously much greater. After several swords, he cut off the extremely hard branches of the willow wood spirit one by one.
However, what made Ye Qin feel bitter was that more than ten branches were cut down, but the roots of the willow essence emerged from the ground again, making them powerful.
Cut it!
There is nothing to keep in mind about the things transformed from this forbidden array.
After Ye Qin cut down the willow wood essence, he picked up a wooden gourd from the ground, and did not check it, and threw it into the storage bag. There was no treasure box in the wooden palace, but a gourd.
He paid attention to the time, cut off all the roots of the tree and killed the wood monster, which almost took half an hour. This took a lot longer than the third-level fire beast in the Fire Palace. It took him only a while to kill a fire beast. He couldn't help but feel anxious.
There are not only one or two wood essences in this wooden palace, but dozens of wood essences. In this way, it is probably more than one day to kill the wood essence. Each palace in the maze is allowed to stay for only one day. Once the time arrives, the labyrinth passage will automatically close, and the monks inside will be automatically teleported away. Many monks with insufficient strength will delay for too long in the middle of the journey and will be eliminated.
If all the wood essence encountered along the way is eradicated, there is no way to reach the end of the wood palace in time.
Ye Qin immediately gave up the idea of clearing out the wooden monsters in the passage one by one, and tried every means to rush to the end of the Wood Palace. If there is anything good in the Wood Palace, it must be at the end of the Wood Palace.
In addition, he also wanted to go to the next palace of the Wood Palace, the Earth Palace, to see how powerful the illusion beasts in the Earth Palace are. Naturally, he didn't want to be eliminated in this Wood Palace.
In nearly a day, Ye Qin consumed several medium-sized gourd spiritual wine, forcibly activates his magic power, split the monsters on the passage, and used all his strength to break through the air, get rid of the monsters' entanglement, and finally arrived at a hall at the end of the wooden palace. Although he was a little embarrassed, fortunately, he was finally in time.
At this time, the Mu Palace is closed, and it is only half an hour away.
In the hall of this wooden palace, there is a giant willow wood spirit in the center.
Around the hall, there were more than a dozen foundation-building monks with different costumes, who were blocked by the fifth-level willow wood spirit and led to the earth palace. A golden gourd hung on the torso of this willow wood spirit.
At this time, the ones who can reach the end of the Wood Palace are either high-level foundation-building monks with extremely strong strength or veterans who have entered the maze many times. At this moment, they are staring at the golden gourd and being careful of the monks around them. Only these strongest people can reach the end of the Wood Palace in time. The other monks have basically been left halfway and cannot reach the Hall of the Wood Palace in time.
Ye Qin glanced in the hall, and after a very short time and pondered for a moment, he understood the situation here.
If only one high-level foundation-building monk was present, it would probably take away the fifth-level monster in the hall of the wooden palace and take away the golden gourd in one stick of incense.
But the problem is that the first one to arrive here should not be just one monk, but two, or even more.
If anyone eliminates this monster first and attracts the attention of the monster, I am afraid that other monks will take the opportunity to take action to grab the gourd on the monster's body. Most monks here have hidden their identities and do not know each other. No one is willing to do the kind of wedding dress for others, but no one takes the lead.
Ye Qin coldly checked the situation in the hall and immediately stopped in an inconspicuous place in the hall.
There were seven or eight high-level monks in the foundation building alone, and the golden gourd was definitely not his share. He would just watch the fun. He spent 700 low-grade spirit stones and accidentally got a ball of unextinguished fire left by the ancient monk. This trip was worth it. It was a business that was stable and profitable. He did not expect that he could get more. He would enter the higher level of the earth palace and check the situation of the earth palace. This trip to the maze was not in vain.
