Chapter 36: The first stage is about to begin
The inexplicable voice in the hall continued to sound: "After testing, there are 126 people participating in this underground palace. The highest level of cultivation is the perfect marrow refining stage, and the lowest level of cultivation is the fifth level of marrow refining stage."
Lin Mo's face darkened. He didn't expect that he had the lowest cultivation level. This meant that Yun Zhongqing behind him was at a higher level than him.
An inexplicable voice in the hall said: "Here are the requirements for this underground palace trial:
First, the hall we are in now is a safe area, and no one is allowed to kill or hurt each other.
Second, this trial is divided into three stages. After each stage, you will return to the underground palace hall to rest for a day before continuing to the next stage.
Third, if you are eliminated midway through this trial and have not died, you will be expelled from the underground palace immediately.
Fourth, the food and water needed for this trial will be provided by the underground palace, and you are not allowed to steal other people’s food resources at any time.
Fifth, anyone who violates the above requirements will be killed immediately.”
Li Shu raised his eyebrows and whispered to Lin Mo: "Brother Lin, usually in this situation there will be a few people with low IQ who will come to deliberately test the bottom line of the underground palace, and then they will be wiped out. Their role is to kill the chicken to ."
However, after the voice from the underground palace finished speaking, no one behaved strangely. They still gathered in groups of three or four, whispering something in private.
After seeing this phenomenon, Lin Mo nodded and said to Li Shu: "Master Li, don't treat all the stories in novels and books as reality.
After all, the underground palace has been opened many times, so both major forces and individual cultivators have already understood some basic rules of the underground palace.
Of course I won't do anything to provoke the Underground Palace again. Life is only once, and even the most reckless person won't be so foolish as to die here."
Li Shu blinked and said with an expression that he believed it: "Brother Lin, just call me Xiao Shu, don't call me Shao Dangjia, it makes me sound like a mountain king."
Then he said to himself, "You are the protagonist, so whatever you say is right."
Lin Mo fell silent for a moment, obviously choked by Li Shu, but he had no objection to the name "Xiao Shu".
After all, Lin Mo had a very good first impression of Li Shu. People with a pure heart will unconsciously want to get close to someone, no matter if they are on the righteous path or the evil path.
No one in this world would feel hostility towards a young boy with a mind as pure as a blank sheet of paper for no reason.
The voice from the underground palace sounded again: "The first stage is about to begin. Here are the rules. First, everyone present must form teams of no more than three people. There are five doors in the hall, namely the East Gate, West Gate, South Gate, North Gate, and Central Gate.
After entering each door, there will be a teleportation array that will teleport you to the corresponding room of this door. The two teams will compete for the opportunity to enter the next room. Only when one of the teams is completely wiped out or collectively surrenders, the other team will answer questions again and choose to enter the next room .
And so on, in the end only the ten teams that enter the room the most times will have the opportunity to enter the next stage of the trial.
In the next hour, we will form teams and each person will take the food and water they need for the day."
Various foods and water appeared on both sides of the hall and were divided into individual portions. At the same time, five metal doors appeared in front of the hall, with the words West, South, Center, North, and East written on them respectively.
Everyone knew that this should be the room for the first stage, so they all took their own food and started to divide into groups.
It was okay for Lin Mo, after all, there were three of them. After picking up his own food, the system checked it and found that it was just ordinary food, so he threw it into the space bracelet.
The same was true for Li Shu. Although he looked innocent on the outside, when he got the food, he carefully used a silver needle to test whether there was any poison. It can be seen that the disciples of the big sects are extremely cautious by nature. He then put the food into his own space ornament.
Yun Zhongqing had no space items, so he could only put the food into the bag behind him and took out a portion to eat. In fact, after reaching the third or fourth level of marrow refining, one would not die if he did not eat or drink for a few days, but would slowly fall into a weak state and his strength would slightly decrease.
This should also be the reason why the underground palace prepared rest time and food.
Except for the three families that formed a team, the disciples from other major forces were divided into teams of two. After all, the rule only stated that no more than three people could form a team. Sometimes an untrustworthy teammate could be more troublesome than a terrible enemy.
At this time Hu Yi began to worry. There were four people on his side. For his own safety, he could not give up the two housekeepers who had mastered the marrow refining stage. But Meng Ting was his wife after all, and Meng Ting would also be crucial to his promotion to the innate realm in the future. He didn't know how to give her up for a moment.
Meng Ting knew what Hu Yi meant when she saw his expression, and took the initiative to say, "I'll go with Sister Liu from the Yuenu Sword Society. There are only two of them, and I'm going to join the Yuenu Sword Society in the future. I believe Sister Liu won't mind taking me along."
When Hu Yi heard Meng Ting's plan, he thought it was a good idea, so he asked Meng Ting to team up with Liu Emei, and he began to keep an eye on Lin Mo to see which room Lin Mo would enter. Then he could follow him directly. This way, the chance of entering the same room would be much greater, and he could just get rid of Lin Mo and prevent him from jumping around in front of him all the time.
At this time, Meng Ting came to Liu Emei and said that the Hu family was full and she had to ask Liu Emei to take her with her. Liu Emei had already said outside the Beast Forest that she wanted Meng Ting to follow her in the underground palace, so she naturally agreed.
Han Xiao on the side did not say anything. At that time at the Hu family, Liu Emei also tacitly agreed to help Meng Ting join the Yuenu Sword Society.
Moreover, Meng Ting's cultivation had only reached the sixth level of marrow refining and posed no threat to him, so he agreed.
Liu Emei then pulled Meng Ting aside, stared into her eyes and whispered, "Before you came, Lin Mo killed a disciple from a large family in the Tianmu Domain and his two followers who had reached the Perfect Marrow Refining Stage, and he only used one sword. His strength is much stronger than last time. I want to ask if you regret it."
Meng Ting said with a complicated expression: "Sister Liu also knows about my physique. Once I start practicing, I am destined to cut off all emotions and love. Otherwise, I will only become someone else's wedding dress. Is it useful to talk about this now?"
Liu Emei said, "It's good that you think this way. In fact, there is a senior in my Yuenu Sword Club who has the same physique as you. If you cultivate your physique to the deepest level, you can become your own wedding dress. So after you join the Yuenu Sword Club, as long as you are determined to practice martial arts, your achievements will definitely be high. It's better to stop now. This Lin Mo is destined not to be a quiet person."
