Volume 1 Lin Yuan Chapter 133 Ancient Immortal Battlefield
The pagoda-shaped building of the Qunxing Tower is indeed tall and majestic, comparable to the main hall of a small sect.
However, compared to the majestic main building with red walls and green tiles, the first thing that catches one's eye is the maids standing on both sides of the gate. They are all dressed in pink and have long hair. They have lovely looks, and their cultivation level is above the seventh level of Qi Condensation, and they have a unique and elegant temperament that is unique to cultivators, which instantly sets the Qunxing Building apart from ordinary restaurants.
But in Wang Chen's eyes, these maids wore too much makeup.
"Brother Ji, are you interested?" Ye Jiu asked with a smile.
"No." Wang Chen was speechless. This was clearly a nightclub.
Two pretty maids, with their heads lowered, led the two men very respectfully to a side room, and then pushed open an antique door.
The layout of the entire wing is like an indoor garden.
The outermost layer is a gurgling stream connected by a wooden bridge. The bottom of the water is covered with pebbles. Spiritual flowers emitting intoxicating fragrance are trimmed into clusters, and the seat is in the middle of the room.
"This is the best room in the Qunxing Building. You can't book it even if you have spirit stones. If I didn't want to shock them, I wouldn't have bothered to go to that shabby Chamber of Commerce banquet just now." Ye Jiu had a proud look on his face. He stretched out his hand and led the two of them to the seats .
Several wine glasses had already been placed on the table, and soon, maids in fancy dresses brought up various dishes.
The dishes are exquisite and delicious, and many of the ingredients are unheard of. It seems that one meal requires a lot of spirit stones.
"Cultivators like Ye Jiu, who often deal with gangs, still have some habits of enjoying life, and their words and deeds all have a sense of worldly affairs." Wang Chen thought while eating.
Power and wealth often make people addicted. This is a kind of human nature. If you are intoxicated by them and cannot extricate yourself, it is fine in a peaceful and prosperous era, but in the cruel world of cultivation, the final outcome is most likely very tragic.
"To be honest, I asked you to come here this time because I have a small favor to ask you for." Ye Jiu finally got to the point.
"Tell me about it." Wang Chen said disapprovingly, picking up his chopsticks non-stop.
Although Ye Jiu is very good at flattery, how could I risk my life for him for such trivial matters? If it is just a piece of cake, I will help him. Otherwise, what if he refuses decisively?
"Although I am now the law enforcement officer of the criminal justice department of the gang alliance, it is true that others have to give me some face among the gangs under the gang alliance."
"However, there are dozens of law enforcement officers in the Punishment Hall. I don't know how long it will take to make further progress." When Ye Jiu said this, a fanatical look appeared on his face.
Wang Chen listened quietly. He did not dislike Ye Jiu's naked desire for power. In comparison, he was more disgusted by the villain who was obviously very passionate but secretly used shady tricks.
"However, just a few days ago, a deputy hall master of the Punishment Hall suddenly passed away, and the position of deputy hall master became vacant. According to the gang rules of the gang alliance, the next deputy hall master will be selected from the law enforcement officers, and the method of selection is trial and error." Ye Jiu stared at Wang Chen closely.
"Trial method?"
Wang Chen frowned. Having said that, he already understood what Ye Jiu meant. He was afraid that he would be needed in this test.
Ye Jiu further explained:
"The so-called trial is that the law enforcers competing for the position of deputy hall master go deep into the dangerous places controlled by the gang and obtain Yuanling stones from the dangerous places. Whoever obtains more will be the next deputy hall master. And this time, I want to ask Brother B to help me in the trial of the dangerous places."
"Yuan Ling Stone?" Wang Chen frowned.
"You are also a cultivator who has not rushed into building a foundation. You must also want to build a strong foundation. You know that the key lies in nourishing the embryo with Yuan Ling Power. How could you think that I would risk my life to obtain Yuan Ling Stone in exchange for a position as the deputy head of the Punishment Hall that has nothing to do with me?"
"I wonder if Brother Ji knows the origin of Yuan Lingli?" Ye Jiu's face froze slightly. He knew that Wang Chen was not someone who could be easily fooled.
"How much do you know?" Wang Chen asked instead of answering. When it comes to the breadth of knowledge and experience in the world, he is confident that he is not inferior to anyone.
"It is said that in the ancient times, the spiritual energy in the entire cultivation world was very abundant, which is incomparable to the spiritual energy in the current cultivation world."
"At that time, there were many True Immortals who had built a strong foundation and could master the Golden Elixir Dao."
"Later, due to the great war in the cultivation world, the clashes between the top cultivators nearly destroyed the entire cultivation world. The Yuan Ling power gradually dried up, and even the Yuan Ling Stone became extremely scarce."
"Limited resources have led to an overall decline in the cultivation world. Many people are greedy for merit and rush into building their foundations hastily, with no hope of ever entering the Golden Core Path."
"The Yuan Ling Stone is the spiritual stone used by ancient cultivators. It contains the energy of the Yuan Ling, and its effect is incomparable to that of ordinary spiritual stones. In order to compete for the limited resources of the Yuan Ling Stone, the major sects have exhausted all methods and are constantly fighting openly and secretly."
Ye Jiu respectfully poured wine for Wang Chen and said, "Now the cultivation world has reached a consensus that in the shattered battlefields of the ancient immortal wars in the past, there may be a considerable number of Yuanling stones left behind by the ancient immortals who died. Therefore, finding these battlefields and developing them has become the primary task of the major sects. And the trial of the gang alliance will be held in one of the ancient immortal battlefields."
"The gang alliance found the ancient immortal battlefield?" Wang Chen's heart moved.
He knew all the secrets of the ancient cultivation world that Ye Jiu had mentioned, but the ancient immortal battlefield was not so easy to find. Even the rare historical record "Guangyuan Tongjianlu" only recorded a handful of ancient immortal wars. It had gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes, so he had no way to find it.
After observing his expression, Ye Jiu knew that there was room for maneuver, so he said respectfully, "If Brother Baga helps me get the position of deputy hall master, I, Ye Jiu, will follow your lead and give you generous rewards."
"This test method allows outsiders to enter? Doesn't it mean that someone might even ask the sect leader to help? Or spend a large sum of money to buy Yuanling Stones to cheat?" Wang Chen frowned.
Seeing that Wang Chen did not refuse, Ye Jiu explained with some expectation: "The Ancient Immortal Battlefield is quite special. In order to avoid the competition for such resources causing a war in the cultivation world, all Ancient Immortal Battlefields allow outside cultivators to enter if they meet certain conditions."
"All participants in the trial are allowed to bring two people to help them, but these two people must be young peers below the foundation-building stage. The purpose of this is also to show the depth of the trial-taker's connections. As for the Yuanling Stones purchased from the outside world, they will definitely not pass the test without the aura of the Ancient Immortal Battlefield that is tainted by the Yin Qi. This aura will dissipate within a day after leaving the Ancient Immortal Battlefield."
"What does that ancient immortal battlefield look like?" Wang Chen was very cautious.
"That is a place that only hall masters can enter. It is usually considered the highest secret of the gang. Although I have never been there, I have heard that it is indeed very dangerous and is often haunted by the souls of ancient immortal corpses."
"And every seven days, a tide of miasma will appear, clearing out all the living things in it. No matter how high your cultivation is, you will be unable to resist it."
Ye Jiu said cautiously, he did not dare to hide the danger.
Sure enough, Wang Chen looked thoughtful.
There must have been ancient cultivators who died in the ancient immortal battlefield. After so many years, it is not surprising that they turned into corpses and ghosts. I am afraid that all the ancient immortal battlefields in the cultivation world are no exception.
But entering the ancient immortal battlefield is a rare opportunity.
With his three Nirvana levels, he can already absorb the spiritual power in the Yuan Ling Stone, so he has a huge demand for this highest-level spiritual stone.
"I can try. But there are two conditions." Wang Chen thought for a moment and said, "First, if the Yuan Ling Stones I obtain are not enough for you to obtain the position of deputy hall master, then all the Yuan Ling Stones will belong to me. Otherwise, the Yuan Ling Stones that are more than you compete for will also belong to me. You must return the Yuan Ling Stones I handed over in full in the future. Second, if you encounter danger that I can't take care of myself, I will not protect you, but turn around and leave."
"Brother Ji is happy."
Ye Jiu raised his glass to toast and drank it all in one gulp.
To Ye Jiu, the conditions Wang Chen mentioned were not conditions in themselves. If it were him, he would do the same, and even ask for a huge reward.
As for going deep into the dangerous area? He had no such plan. The periphery of the battlefield had been swept countless times, so it was naturally very safe.
