Chapter 285: The Ruins of the Immortal Palace
readx;? In the Scorpion Gate, there are only two such two foundation building stage immortal cultivators. One of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info is named Xie Ying, who is the one who was at the peak of the early stage of foundation building, that is, Zhu Yanshou's master, and the other is named Cheng Qing, who is the one in the later stage of foundation building, that is, the head of the Scorpion Gate.
In the conversation just now, Ma Yilong already knew this. The first impression of the two of them on Ma Yilong was not bad, and during the conversation, they also felt very close to the two, so they unabashedly said the host's thoughts.
After Cheng Qing and Xie Ying listened, they glanced at each other and nodded with a smile. Ma Yilong had been watching the expressions of the two, and there was some hope in their reactions.
"Although it is the first time we have met, I am very close to the two Taoist friends, if the two of you have anything to say, you might as well say it bluntly!" Ma Yilong arched his hand at the two and said with a smile.
Hearing Ma Yilong's words, Cheng Qing nodded at Xie Ying, meaning to let him speak. Xie Ying comprehended, arched his hand towards Ma Yilong, and said with a smile.
"Ma Daoyou shouldn't know yet, right? From the Seven Ring Islands to the Pingyang Continent, you can only use the teleportation array controlled by the Golden Rooster Gate, but because it is a long-distance teleportation, the spirit stones that need to be paid can be called an astronomical amount, and you need 10,000 high-grade spirit stones!"
"10,000 high-grade spirit stones?" Ma Yilong showed a look of surprise on his face.
This amount really surprised Ma Yilong, this is converted into a middle-grade spirit stone, which is equivalent to one million spirit stones, no matter who it is, it is a huge amount. Although Ma Yilong originally knew that this amount would not be too much, he didn't expect it to be so amazing.
At the beginning of the Qingyan Continent, the Mobei Wang family issued a heavy reward, and Ma Yilong's life and the ascension order on his body were only this amount.
"That's right, it's 10,000 high-grade spirit stones, and it's just a person's teleportation fee!If Ma Daoyou wants to take his wife with him, he will have to pay 20,000 high-grade spirit stones!" Xie Ying said with a smile.
Hearing the other party's words, Ma Yilong shook his head helplessly.
Seeing Ma Yilong's expression, Xie Ying was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Our senior brothers and Ma Daoyou hit it off at first sight, and according to common sense, we should naturally do our best to help each other." However, such a sum of money is almost at the limit of what a small sect like us can bear!"
"The two Taoist friends don't have to be embarrassed! Although we feel quite fateful, but after all, it is a meeting in Pingshui, and there is no merit, even if the two really come up with this expense, they will not dare to be ashamed! I am very happy to know the two of you today, and I will say goodbye to you again when I have enough spirit stones to leave the Seven Ring Island!"
As he spoke, Ma Yilong stood up and strode out of the hall.
"Fellow Daoists, slow down!" Just as Ma Yilong walked out five steps away, Xie Ying hurriedly spoke again and stopped Ma Yilong.
"Could it be that Daoyou still has something?" Ma Yilong turned around and looked at Xie Ying with a calm expression.
"Fellow Daoist, don't be in a hurry! As I said just now, so many spirit stones are already the limit that our Scorpio Sect can bear! But it's just the limit, if you want to take out these spirit stones, you can still do it!" Xie Ying hesitated for a moment and continued: "It's just that we also have one thing we want to ask Daoist friends for help! If Daoist friends can agree, my two brothers will definitely send spirit stones with both hands!"
When Ma Yilong heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Why should Daoist friends hesitate, you might as well speak up! As I said before, martial arts are not accepted, if you don't ask for me, I am really embarrassed to accept these spirit stones." On the contrary, if I can do my best for the two of you, I can accept it with peace of mind!"
Xie Ying heard this and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I will say it directly in the lower realm! In this vast sea, there is a mysterious island, and there is a fairy palace ruins left by the immortals of the upper realm on the island, not to mention the treasures inside, and the aura is also difficult to find in the lower realm!"
"How could an Upper Realm Immortal build such a palace in the Lower Realm?" Ma Yilong was puzzled in his heart, and couldn't help but interject and ask.
"Ma Daoyou don't have to doubt it! The reason for this may only be known to those immortals themselves! In the eyes of others, they will also regard this as a legend, but we know that this is true, because the family master has stepped into the island and entered the palace. ”
Hearing this, Ma Yilong couldn't help but feel heartbroken, but he didn't interject again, and quietly listened to Xie Ying's introduction. Xie Ying did not pause and continued to explain to him.
There is a mysterious island on the sea thousands of miles away from the Seven Ring Islands, and it is said to be mysterious because the location of the island is not fixed at all, and it cannot be found at all unless it is under certain circumstances. However, the island appears once every 200 years at a specific location on the surface of the sea.
Two hundred years ago, the head of the Scorpion Sect, He Yan, that is, the master of Cheng Qing and Xie Ying, once entered the island by chance with the cultivation of the late stage of foundation building, and also stepped into the mysterious palace. Because there were many organs inside, it was difficult for people to come out alive, and He Yan saw that the people who entered the palace fell one by one, and finally just turned around on the first floor of the palace, and then returned the same way.
However, because the palace was full of aura, it also benefited Heyan, and as soon as he came out, he succeeded in marrying Dan, thus greatly revitalizing the Scorpio Gate, so that the Scorpio Gate became the second major sect after the Golden Rooster Gate on Jinji Island. It's a pity that Heyan's cultivation has not been improved since then, and the Scorpion Gate has only been in the limelight for a few years before it began to decline. Later, He Yan exhausted his longevity and died, and the Scorpion Gate fell into the hands of Cheng Qing and Xie Ying, and then it declined to the point where it is now.
"You two want me to accompany you into the ruins of the Immortal Palace and get the treasures in it, so as to greatly revitalize the Scorpion Gate?" Ma Yilong asked with a smile after listening.
"Daoyou is right! Because there are many crises in the Immortal Palace Ruins, and there are definitely more people than my two brothers who know about this, so the two of us decided to ask Daoyou to help!" Xie Ying looked at Ma Yilong with anticipation on his face.
After hearing this, Ma Yilong did not answer immediately, but as a thoughtful look.
Seeing Ma Yilong's reaction, Cheng Qing on the side opened his mouth and added: "If Daoist friends are willing to go, in addition to the 20,000 high-grade spirit stones promised by our brothers before, the treasures obtained by Daoyou in the Immortal Palace Ruins can also be included in the main host's pocket." Anyway, there are countless treasures in the Asgard Palace, and we will look for them ourselves, all we want is to be able to join forces with Daoist friends to fight against strong enemies!"
"Do the two Daoists really believe in Zaixia's strength so much?" Ma Yilong still didn't answer immediately, but asked with a smile.
"Daoist friends can come here from the Qingyan Continent, which we have never heard of, and their strength is definitely not comparable to ordinary immortal cultivators! Moreover, I have also comprehended the divine thoughts of Daoist friends before. As for the strength of Daoyou, he is naturally convinced!It's just that the risk of entering the Immortal Palace Ruins is a little great!" Cheng Qing replied with a smile.
"To have such an opportunity, to have a glimpse of the Immortal Palace and find treasures, and to get the spirit stone promised by the two Taoist friends, even if you take some risks, it is worth it, and promise the two of you!" At this moment, Ma Yilong did not hesitate to respond to the matter.
Hearing Ma Yilong's words, both of them showed excitement.
"It's not that easy to enter the ruins of the Immortal Palace! In addition to finding the corresponding map, you have to wait until a specific celestial phenomenon appears! This is not the time, Daoist friends might as well go back and prepare, and come here in half a year!" Xie Ying said with a smile.
"In that case, I will leave here and come back to the two of you in half a year!" Ma Yilong stood up with a smile and said goodbye.
Cheng Qing and Xie Ying got up to see each other off, and out of the main hall, Ma Yilong flew down the mountain.
When passing through the square halfway up the mountainside, those Scorpion Sect disciples were still there. But at this moment, none of them raised their heads to look at Ma Yilong. The only thing that surprised Ma Yilong was that Zhu Yanshou didn't know where to hide!
Ma Yilong naturally didn't want to bother with them, so he flew down the Ethereal Mountain and went straight into the distance. Ma Yilong left Jinji Island all the way and returned to the small island where he and Liu Xinyuan had temporarily stayed. At this moment, Liu Xinyuan is still cultivating behind closed doors, impacting the middle stage of the Yudan. Ma Yilong didn't bother her, and went directly back to his cave and began to cultivate.
In the process of cultivation, time always passes quickly. It's passed in a blink of an eye, and the only regret is that Liu Xinyuan still hasn't come out. However, the time had come, and Ma Yilong didn't want to delay, so he went directly to the Ethereal Mountain.
Seeing each other again, Cheng Qing and Xie Ying were naturally very happy, and the two also took out the good wine they had treasured for many years to entertain Ma Yilong. This is brewed with a mixture of spiritual fruit and elixir, needless to say, the taste is also very good for improving cultivation.
Ma Yilong also likes to drink, and when he encounters such good things, he naturally doesn't miss them. Under the hospitality, Ma Yilong rested in Scorpio Gate for a few days.
On this day, Cheng Qing and Xie Ying invited Ma Yilong over again and took out two sea maps. The two combined the two sea maps in front of Ma Yilong, but a small piece was still missing.
There is no doubt that this map of the sea area has to do with the location of the mysterious island, and the missing piece is the key. Although Ma Yilong didn't say anything, he understood it at a glance.
"The Taoist must have understood that the small piece that is missing is the key, what we have to do next is to seize this small piece of sea map first!"
Ma Yilong nodded with a smile and did not speak. After some preparations, Cheng Qing and Xie Ying took Ma Yilong to leave the Ethereal Mountain, step out of Jinji Island, and go straight to Hongyan Island.
This Hongyan Island, named because the island is full of red rocks, is also far away from Jinji Island, in the ring formed by the seven roundabouts, the two are almost in opposite positions, and the distance is more than 1,000 miles.
Ma Yilong and the three of them flew all the way to Hongyan Island.
The largest immortal cultivator sect on Hongyan Island is the Heavenly Master Sect, which is similar to the Jinji Sect on Jinji Island, and there are nearly 1,000 disciples under the sect, and there are two immortal cultivators in the Dan period in the sect.
Cheng Qing and Xie Ying led Ma Yilong to the island, and they didn't rush to do anything, but stayed first. Ma Yilong only knew that the two were planning to find the small sea map, but how to find the two did not say, and Ma Yilong did not ask.
Until this time, Ma Yilong was still a little confused, and he didn't know what the two of them brought him here for. Three days later, in the evening, the two took Ma Yilong to Jinfeng City on Hongyan Island. As soon as they entered the city, the two took Ma Yilong straight to a hidden street.
"Where are we going?" Ma Yilong couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, and finally asked the two.
"We're going to an underground private auction fair!" Cheng Qing replied with a smile on his face.
"What are you going to do there?" Ma Yilong looked surprised again.
"Of course you have to buy something when you go to the fair!!After a few hours, Daoyou will be there!" Cheng Qing seemed to be unwilling to say anything in advance, and explained with a smile, and then stopped talking.
Ma Yilong shook his head slightly, wondering in his heart: "Are they planning to auction some things in exchange for the 20,000 high-grade spirit stones promised to me? It seems unlikely! Anyway, I will know after a while, not at this moment!"
Under the leadership of Cheng Qing and Xie Ying, Ma Yilong followed the two to the door of an ordinary-looking store. It is said that this shop is ordinary, because from the outside, he is a small shop that sells immortal cultivation items, and the area is only more than ten zhang in size.
With the doubts in the letter, Ma Yilong followed the two into the store. Cheng Qing asked Ma Yilong and the others to wait at the door, and walked directly to the counter. Ma Yilong only saw Cheng Qing gesture a few times to the shopkeeper, and then took out a bag of spirit stones and threw it on the counter.
The shopkeeper was an old man in his fifties, and when he saw the spirit stone that Cheng Qing threw on the counter, the old man did not speak, but put away the spirit stone, bent down and took out three pieces of clothes from under the counter.
In fact, to be precise, these are three special cloaks. It's just that there's a hat on top, which is completely integrated with the cloak underneath.
Under Ma Yilong's gaze, Cheng Qing took the lead in picking up a piece of clothing and putting it on his body. After this set was put on, it was clarified that the whole person was completely covered by clothes from head to toe, Ma Yilong swept it with his mind, and he couldn't see what Cheng Qing looked like inside.
Ma Yilong understood at a glance that this was to prevent anyone from being recognized at the trade fair. Ma Yilong smiled at Xie Ying, and the two of them each picked up a piece of clothing and put it on their bodies.
Seeing that the three of them had all finished changing their clothes, the old man led the three of them to behind a row of counters where the skeletons of demon beasts and demon pills were placed.
At this moment, Ma Yilong saw clearly that there was a downward tunnel entrance at the back of the shelf. This entrance is five feet square, and there are steps at the foot. The three of them did not hesitate, stepped forward directly, and walked down the steps.
At the bottom of the steps, Ma Yilong glanced at it, and there was a huge square in front of him that could accommodate thousands of people. At this moment, Ma Yilong showed a look of disbelief! To be continued.
