208 Wooden Palace Spirits

The second passage of the underground labyrinth of the Xianyuan Hall is the wooden palace.

At the last moment when he was caught up by the yellow-robed monk, Ye Qin entered the wooden palace from the teleportation array in time.

He almost scolded angrily, because in the teleportation array, he glanced back and found that the person chasing behind him was a seventh-layer monk of the foundation building stage of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, who was responsible for guiding the way for the monks and was the first to enter this labyrinth.

Before Ye Qin waited for the labyrinth to open in the side hall of the Immortal Yuan, he had vaguely heard Han Xu casually mention that this yellow-robed monk's surname was Wei, and he was a monk with a high status in the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, one of the deputy hall masters, every time the maze was opened, there was a deputy hall master who led everyone into the labyrinth, so he was extremely familiar with the situation in this labyrinth.

Ye Qin had to despise this Deputy Hall Master Wei.

Whoever finds the items in the labyrinth will be owned, this is the rule set by the Scattered Cultivation Alliance. This Wei Vice Hall Master actually violated the rules and tried to snatch the items he found first. Then don't open this labyrinth at all, the people of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance will dominate this place by themselves, and no one will compete for it.

What Ye Qin didn't know was that in fact, the labyrinth was open to the outside world, which was also a helpless move by the Scattered Cultivation Alliance. If they really had the strength to dominate, they would not be open to the outside world at all.

The ancient labyrinth of this Immortal Yuan Hall requires a huge amount of energy to support. The ancient forbidden array in the labyrinth automatically conjured up all kinds of phantom beasts above the foundation building period, all of which required energy, and this energy came from spirit stones.

A surname needs to be as high as 20,000 lower-grade spirit stones to barely function the labyrinth forbidden array. If you don't consume a large amount of spirit stones to open the forbidden array, no one can enter the maze at all, let alone take out items from it.

The Scattered Cultivation Alliance's own financial resources alone simply can't support such a huge consumption.

The Immortal Labyrinth is open to the public, and fifty copies of the enchantment talisman are sold at each auction, and the price of each copy is between 500 spirit stones and 1,000 spirit stones. The income from the sale of the enchantment talisman alone directly returned 25,000 to 50,000 lower-grade spirit stones.

After deducting the spirit stones that activated the forbidden array, the extra part of the spirit stones will be collected into the treasury of the Immortal Yuan City Scattered Cultivation Alliance. This labyrinth forbidden array brings at least 10,000 spirit stones to the alliance every month, and it is one of the important sources of income for the alliance.

For ordinary foundation-building monks of various sects and families, this is a holy place of adventure where unexpected surprises can be discovered. For the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, this is an important source of finance, and the Scattered Cultivation Alliance is naturally reluctant to close it.

If the Scattered Cultivation Alliance pays this money by itself and its own people go in, I am afraid that it will soon die due to the huge consumption of spirit stones. The Scattered Cultivation Alliance has also tried to stop opening to the outside world, just letting the monks within the alliance enter the labyrinth, and the result is only to get some items that are not of great use. As a result, after more than ten times like this, the financial resources of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance suffered extremely heavy losses, and they almost couldn't even get the salaries in the alliance, so they had to reopen the labyrinth.

And even if you open the labyrinth, every time you go in, you may not be able to find the good things left by the ancient monks. Whether it is a casual cultivation alliance or an alien monk, it is completely up to luck in the labyrinth. Even if you break through the Immortal Labyrinth a hundred times, if you are unlucky, you may not find anything. The random appearance of the item was an idea that came up with the evil taste of a certain ancient cultivator, and it tossed the younger monks of Xianyuan City enough.

Due to various reasons, although the Scattered Cultivation Alliance was very reluctant to let the remnants of the ancient monks in the labyrinth fall into the hands of outsiders, it had to open the labyrinth to the outside world, so as to absorb a large amount of financial resources and maintain the normal operation of the labyrinth and the alliance.

That Deputy Hall Master Wei is exactly like this at this moment. He has entered the labyrinth more than dozens of times, and has never been able to encounter an item left by an ancient monk, and this time he finally encountered one, but he didn't think about it, but he was taken a step ahead by a monk of unknown origin, and he was so angry that he almost wanted to hit the wall. When people are unlucky, they choke on cold water, which is true.

Ye Qin slandered the yellow-robed monk because he didn't know the true effect of this labyrinth on the Scattered Cultivation Alliance.

He had now been teleported to gaze and glanced at the wooden palace.

The passage of this wooden palace is slightly larger, five zhang wide and high, straight forward, there are more and more forks in the back, the terrain is similar to that of the fire palace, the only difference is that what appears in this wooden palace should be a wood phantom beast.

Ye Qin sat cross-legged, drank a small gourd's spirit wine, and after recovering all his mana, he checked the low-level magic weapon he was carrying, and then got up and flew towards the depths of the wooden palace. After flying for a few miles, he suddenly saw a withered ancient tree, the main trunk was almost waist thick, dozens of branches were twisted in strange shapes, and the roots of the ancient tree almost occupied more than half of the entire passage.

"Spirits!"

Ye Qin lost his voice and almost fell down.

Demon beasts, rare birds, alien insects, and spirits are the four major categories in the immortal cultivation world, and they are non-human cultivation creatures. Demon beasts are creatures that run on the ground, rare birds are creatures that fly in the sky, and alien insects can fly and climb. Spirits refer to two types of creatures, wood and stone, wood becomes spirit, and stone is called monster.

The first three categories are actually more common in the world of cultivating immortals, with the five elements and the three strange surnames. However, spirits are extremely rare, and there are only two kinds of castes, wood and earth, which are psychic things bred by the aura of heaven and earth, and they are hard to find. At least, Ye Qin had never seen the existence of spirits, and he had only heard of the existence of such a thing in some anecdotal biographies of Qingdanmen.

Ye Qin looked at the ancient wood spirit in amazement, this was different from what he imagined. He originally thought that what appeared in this wooden palace was a demon beast with a wood surname, but he didn't expect it to be a spirit. Moreover, it is a spirit made of a willow tree, and it is called a willow spirit!

Ye Qin couldn't help but feel a pity, this kind of conjured item could not be brought into the Purple Mansion. Otherwise, he would have the urge to dig up the whole wood element.

He released the Xuanyin Sword, drove the flying sword, and slashed at the wood spirit with a sword, slashing at the tree. I only heard the loud sound of "bell!" like the sound of gold and iron, and the Xuanyin Sword was bounced away by the bark.

There was an extra notch in the willow spirit's skin, which was more than a foot long and several inches deep. However, this attack had little effect on the spirits, as the willow wood was thicker and rougher than steel. "Whoa", the willow spirit danced wildly on the withered branches in the sky, turned into countless sharp whips, and whipped towards Ye Qin.

Ye Qin quickly flew backwards and retreated from the impermeable tree whip.

The wood spirit's defense is extremely strong, but its movements are very clumsy, and it follows from behind with one move after another, and it can't catch up with Ye Qin at all.

He put away the Xuanyin Sword and replaced it with a fire-type purple knife to deal with this wood spirit, turning it into a huge flame and slashing it over. The power of the purple knife was obviously much greater, and after a few swords, it cut off the extremely hard branches of the willow wood essence one by one.

However, what made Ye Qin bitter was that more than ten branches had been cut down, but the roots of the willow wood spirit came out of the ground again, and the tiger was vigorous.

Hack it!

There is nothing to save for the things that have been conjured up by this forbidden array.

After Ye Qin cut down the willow wood essence, he picked up a wooden gourd from the ground, didn't check it, and threw it directly into the storage bag. There is no treasure box in this wooden palace, but a gourd.

He kept an eye on the time, cutting off all the roots and killing the wood monster in almost half an hour. This was far longer than the third-order fire beasts in the Fire Palace. It was only a moment before he killed a fire beast. I can't help but be secretly anxious.

There are not only one or two wood spirits in this wooden palace, but dozens of them. In this case, it will take more than a day just to kill all the wood spirits. Each house in the labyrinth is allowed to stay for only one day, and as soon as the hour arrives, the labyrinth passage will automatically close, and the monks inside will be automatically teleported away. Many monks who were not strong enough were delayed for too long in the middle of the journey, and as a result, they were eliminated.

If you eradicate all the wood spirits you encounter along the way, there is no way to reach the end of the wooden palace in time.

Ye Qin immediately gave up the idea of eliminating the wooden monsters in the passage one by one, and tried every means to rush to the end of the wooden palace. If there's anything good in the Wooden Palace, it's definitely at the end of the Wooden Palace.

In addition, he also wanted to go to the next palace of the wooden palace, the earth palace, to see how powerful the phantom beasts in this earth palace were. Naturally, he didn't want to be eliminated from this wooden palace.

For nearly a day, Ye Qin consumed several medium-sized gourd spirit wines, forcibly urged the mana, split the spirits on the passage, and used all his strength to break through the air, get rid of the entanglement of the spirits, and finally rushed to a hall at the end of the wooden palace. Although it was a little embarrassing, it was finally timely.

At this time, there was only half an hour left before the wooden palace was closed.

In the hall of this wooden palace, there is a giant willow wood spirit in the center.

Around the hall, there were already more than a dozen foundation building monks in different costumes, who were blocked by this fifth-order willow wood spirit that led to the earth palace. On the torso of this willow wood spirit, there is a golden gourd.

At this time, those who were able to reach the end of this wooden palace were either extremely powerful high-level monks who had built a foundation, or they were veterans who had entered the labyrinth many times, and they were all staring at the golden gourd at the moment, carefully guarding against the monks around them. Only these strongest people can rush to the end of the wooden palace in time. The rest of the monks had basically been left behind in the middle of the road, unable to reach the wooden palace hall in time.

Ye Qin glanced at the hall, and it only took a very short time to understand the situation here.

If there was only one high-level foundation building monk present, it was estimated that with a stick of incense, he would be able to clean up the fifth-order spirit in the hall of the wooden palace and take the golden gourd.

But the problem is that it wasn't just one monk who arrived first, but two, if not more.

If anyone goes to eradicate this spirit first and attract the attention of the spirit, I am afraid that the other monks behind will take the opportunity to snatch the gourd from the spirit. Most of the monks here hide their identities and do not know each other. No one wants to do the kind of thing of making wedding clothes for others, but no one is the first to do it.

Ye Qin coldly probed the situation in the hall, and immediately stayed in an inconspicuous place in the hall.

There are seven or eight high-level monks alone, and the golden gourd definitely doesn't have his share, just look at the excitement. After spending seven hundred low-grade spirit stones, he unexpectedly got an unquenchable fire left by the ancient monk, and it was already worth his trip, this was a steady and unlost deal. He didn't expect anything more. Later, he will enter the earth palace on a higher level and go to see the situation of the earth palace, and this trip to the maze is not in vain.

Ye Qin, who was a monk on the first floor of the foundation, was able to come to the hall at the end of the wooden palace in time, which in itself had already surprised many monks present. But everyone's attention was on the golden gourd, and they didn't care how Ye Qin arrived at the end of this wooden palace in just one day.
