Chapter 152: Ruins of Neptune (lead update 210, please subscribe!)
When he saw Ye Changsheng again, a strange color flashed in Elder Gu's eyes.
Recalling when he met this person two years ago, he was so sharp and possessed of powerful magic power that he was a little frightened by the oppression.
But today, when I saw this person again, I found that he had been washed away, his divine light was restrained, and he could not see the realm of magic power at all.
Just like an ordinary mortal.
In just two years, such a change had occurred, which had to shock Elder Gu.
"Is it because of the worldliness of opening a shop here?" He secretly guessed.
Entering the mortal world and experiencing the world of mortals is something that many high-level monks will do.
This kind of thing will be of great help to future inner demon tribulations.
Ye Changsheng's approach of opening a shop here is undoubtedly a way of joining the world. Otherwise, why would a monk who forms an alchemy have to mix with such a group of low-level monks?
Arching his hands, Elder Gu laughed and said, "Brother Ye, long time no see. You are here every day with beautiful women. Your life is so cool!"
Ye Changsheng smiled faintly and said: "Brother Gu is joking. When Brother Gu comes here today, he must have completed the thing he agreed to two years ago, right?"
As soon as he heard Ye Changsheng's words, Elder Gu immediately showed a look of shame on his face.
He sighed and wondered: "Oh, I am ashamed to say that we, the Sixth Company Hall, are unable to do anything about the magic weapon material that Brother Ye wants!"
"Oh? With the power of the Sixth Company Hall, can't you find even one magic weapon material?" Ye Changsheng showed surprise on his face.
It seems very incredible.
His look made Elder Gu very depressed.
Yes, the mighty Sixth Company, which is second only to the four major business alliances, can't even find a single magic weapon material.
If you tell me, many people may regard it as a joke.
However, there is no way. Elder Gu did not expect that the kind of magic weapon material Ye Changsheng needed was so precious that many people had never heard of it.
However, fortunately, he did not gain nothing, otherwise how would he have the nerve to come to Ye Changsheng.
"Brother Ye, the Nine Heavens Purple Jade you need, let alone our Sixth Company Palace, you may not be able to find it even if you go to the four major business alliances or even the Star Palace!" Elder Gu shook his head and said.
"Is that so? In this case, I'm afraid I won't be able to help Brother Gu hunt down the infant carp beast!" Ye Changsheng frowned slightly and said.
"Brother Ye, don't worry, haha, although I can't get you the Nine Heavens Purple Jade, but we, the Sixth Company Palace, have some information about the Nine Heavens Purple Jade!" A smile appeared in Elder Gu's eyes.
"Oh? Brother Gu, please speak!"
Elder Gu stroked his beard and said slowly: "Brother Ye, have you ever heard of the Neptune Ruins?"
"Neptune Ruins?" Ye Changsheng narrowed his eyes when he heard this term.
"What is this place?"
"Haha, it seems that Brother Ye doesn't know. This Neptune Ruins is a ruin located in an unknown place in the outer star sea. The Nine Heavens Purple Jade Brother Ye needs is in this Neptune Ruins!"
The ancient elder's words made Ye Changsheng frown slightly. He knew immediately that this Neptune ruins was probably a very dangerous place.
"Brother Gu, please tell me in detail, what exactly is this Neptune ruins?"
The ancient elder stroked his beard and said: "The ruins of the Sea King are related to a shocking battle that broke out when our human monks first came to Chaos Xinghai in ancient times!"
"The reason why it is called the Neptune Ruins is because this ruins is related to the Neptune Clan, the former overlord of the Chaos Star Sea!"
"In the outer star sea now, there are two powerful clans, the gradually declining Suanni royal clan and the rising dragon clan. These two clans are extremely majestic and control countless monster beasts!"
"But few people know that in ancient times, these two tribes were actually vassals of the Sea King Clan. Without the disappearance of the Sea King Clan, it would have been absolutely impossible for the Suanni and Jiaolong Clan to rise!"
"And the reason why the Sea Royal Family disappeared is related to the ancestors of our human monks in the Chaos Star Sea!"
"Brother Taoist should also know that we humans are actually outsiders in the Chaos Star Sea. This place was originally the world of monsters and beasts. Now we can reach such a prosperous place today because our ancestors opened up the ocean step by step and created such an inner star sea.
!”
Hearing Elder Gu's words, Ye Changsheng nodded. He also knew something about the history of Luan Xinghai.
No one knows when the human monks came to Chaos Xinghai.
Because history is so long ago that all records have disappeared.
Everyone only knows that mankind has been able to expand its territory to the point where it is today, thanks to generations of monks who continue to fight against monsters and beasts.
During this period, the demonic beasts were naturally unwilling to let humans gradually grow and take away their territory, so many earth-shattering wars broke out with humans.
In such battles, even monks at the level of gods were killed, which shows how fierce those battles were back then.
Most of these battles ended with human victory, which is why the human race in the Chaos Star Sea now thrives.
But the strength of the monster beasts should not be underestimated, especially if the human side does not have a god-forming monk to take charge, it will be difficult to compete with the monster beasts in the outer star sea.
Therefore, in order to prevent the lack of the god-transforming monks from causing the foundation of the entire Chaotic Star Sea to be uprooted by the monsters, the human side issued peace talks to the monsters.
The monsters and beasts also agreed to the peace talks because they were afraid of the human god-transforming monks who would take action at all costs.
The two clans ceased fighting and divided the spheres of influence in the inner and outer star seas.
The Inner Star Sea is the sphere of human influence, and monsters in disguise are not allowed to enter without authorization.
The alien sea is the world of monsters. Humans can hunt monsters in it, but they cannot form groups and organize large-scale hunting of monsters in the sea.
In fact, from the perspective of high-level transformed monsters, those low-level monsters in the sea are not their own kind at all.
Therefore, they don't care about the life or death of these monsters.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But they were worried that the humans in the Inner Star Sea would greatly increase their strength with the help of these monster beasts, so they made such restrictions.
Preventing humans from gathering in groups to hunt monsters on a large scale can limit their development to a certain extent.
In this way, the two tribes reached an agreement and lived in peace for many years.
Although humans have been hunting monsters in the outer star sea, most of the monster beasts killed by humans have nothing to do with the powerful races in the outer star sea.
And if humans form gangs and hunt monster beasts in groups, the monster beasts from the outer star sea will also rush out in groups and attack the islands where humans are located.
Under such circumstances, the two sides barely reached a balance.
In a sense, the powerful races of humans and monsters in the Chaotic Star Sea today are all the winners of the war between humans and demons in the Chaotic Star Sea in ancient times.
In the ancient war, mankind won the victory and gained territory and living space.
Although the monster beasts failed, powerful clans such as Jiaolong and Suanni also got rid of the rule of the real royal family of Chaotic Star Sea.
The ancient war can actually be seen as the human race, dragons, Suanni and other races jointly overthrew the Sea Royal Clan, and then divided the sphere of influence of the Chaos Star Sea.
The Sea Royal Clan was wiped out in that earth-shattering war, and the powerful god-transformer among them who lived for tens of thousands of years died. After that, in the Chaotic Star Sea, there were constant god-transformation monks on the human side, but there were no more monsters on the monster side.
A god-turned-monster appeared.
The ruins of Neptune that the ancient elders are talking about now are the remnants of the war in the past.
"The Sea Royal Clan once mastered a secret realm. After their clan was destroyed, their core tribe was sucked into that secret realm!"
"The Neptune ruins we are talking about now are actually in that secret realm. This secret realm can only be opened every hundred years. Every time you enter, you need to use some special teleportation arrays!"
"Back then, after the human monks destroyed the Sea King clan, before they had time to collect the spoils, the core of the Sea King clan was sucked away by the secret realm. Therefore, there have been rumors that the secret realm contained the wealth and wealth of the entire Sea King clan in ancient times.
Treasure!"
"Every hundred years when this secret realm opens, a large number of monks will enter it to hunt for treasures and explore."
Listening to the ancient elder's narration, Ye Changsheng showed a thoughtful look on his face, and after a moment he asked: "Is there any limit on the cultivation level of the monks who can enter this secret realm?"
"Brother Ye got the point!" Elder Gu said with a smile while stroking his beard.
"The secret realm of the Sea King Ruins was originally set up by the Sea King Clan in ancient times to train their disciples. Only monks below the Nascent Soul can enter. If the Nascent Soul monks try to force their way in, they will definitely be banned and killed!"
"You know, even the monks who transform themselves into gods dare not break through that restriction!" Elder Gu said with a faint smile.
The Neptune Ruins, like the Xutian Temple, are relatively super-standard things in the Chaos Star Sea. Even the God Transformation monks are somewhat helpless when facing them.
"Below Nascent Soul?" Ye Changsheng murmured, with a calm expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking in his heart.
"So, when was the last time the Neptune Ruins was opened?" Ye Changsheng asked.
"Ten years later!" Elder Gu said, with a slightly meaningful smile on his face.
"Ten years from now? Then...is it the time for the Star Reaching Conference?" Ye Changsheng frowned and immediately thought of the Star Reaching Conference, a grand event in the inner star sea.
In the Inner Star Sea, in order to control this territory of the human race, the Star Palace selected thirty-six large islands as its direct territory.
Among the thirty-six large islands, they are divided into twelve inner islands and twenty-four outer islands.
The number of island owners for the twelve inner islands is designated by the Twin Saints of the Heavenly Stars, but the competition for the outer twenty-four islands is open to the entire Chaos Star Sea. Everyone is qualified to challenge to become one of the island owners of these twenty-four islands.
The real Mu Long of Kuixing Island defeated many opponents in the Star Reaching Conference ninety years ago and won the title of the owner of Kuixing Island in one fell swoop.
This grand meeting to select the island owners of the twenty-four outer islands is called the Star Reaching Conference. The Star Reaching Conference is held every hundred years.
For most alchemy monks, the Star Reaching Conference has unparalleled temptation for them.
Once you can stand out in the Star Reaching Conference, you will be considered to have joined the Star Palace, a huge force that has existed forever, and become one of its external members.
The island owner of each star island not only has great power, controls the destiny of an island, but also enjoys the worship of the entire island.
You can also exchange the classics collected in the Star Palace for the skills, secrets, etc. you need.
The benefits here are immeasurable, so every Star Reaching Conference will have a large number of alchemy monks flocking to it.
Every hundred years for the Star Reaching Conference, almost all high-level monks from the Chaos Star Sea will go to Tianxing City to gather.
This resulted in the Star Reaching Conference becoming a grand event for exchanges and exchanges between monks. Even those who were not interested in the position of island master would attend.
Just to take this opportunity to exchange some elixirs, magic weapons, materials, etc. that I need with my colleagues.
During that time, not only the four major merchant alliances and other giants would hold auctions one after another, putting all kinds of rare treasures up for auction.
In private, there are countless secret market exchange meetings.
Basically, it can be said that everything you want can be found here. If you can't find it here, then don't expect to find it in the entire inner star sea.
"So, does this Neptune ruins have anything to do with the Star Reaching Conference?" Ye Changsheng asked.
"The Neptune Ruins was opened just after the Star Reaching Conference. Some of the alchemy monks who went to Tianxing City were aiming for the position of island master, but there were also many who were aiming for the Neptune Ruins!"
"After all, this site has created countless legends for thousands of years! It is said that some people even dug up elixir that lasted ten thousand years in it!" The ancient elder shook his head and said in amazement, with an expression on his face full of yearning.
.
Ten thousand years of elixir, that is something that Nascent Soul monks would kill each other if they saw it.
Thousands of years ago, someone brought one out of the Neptune ruins.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As for other things, there are endless powerful ancient treasures, precious weapon refining materials, etc.
It can be said that as long as he can come back alive from the Neptune Ruins, there is a high probability that this monk will be able to break through one or two small realms in the future.
The ruins of Neptune have an unparalleled attraction for the alchemy monks.
"If you want to enter the Neptune ruins, you need to use some specific ancient teleportation arrays. It is said that there are only four such teleportation arrays in the world. Our human race only has one, and the remaining three are in the hands of alien sea monsters!"
The elder continued.
"The one controlled by the human race is in the hands of the Star Palace of Tianxing City. The monks who want to enter need to pay a certain transmission fee to the Star Palace!"
"Then what is the amount of the transmission fee?"
The ancient elder smiled mysteriously and said with profound meaning: "This amount depends on how the Star Palace decides it. When the world is at peace, the transmission fee is very high, and can even reach the level of 10,000 spirit stones at a time!"
"And when this chaotic star sea is not calm, Star Palace will reduce the transmission fee, which can reach as low as five hundred spirit stones at a time!"
Hearing Elder Gu's words, Ye Changsheng had a thoughtful look in his eyes.
It is not difficult to guess Xing Gong’s idea. When troubled times come, reduce the transmission cost and send more alchemy monks to the Neptune Ruins to fight for their lives, thereby reducing unstable factors.
When the world is at peace, they need more human monks to fight monsters, so they will raise the teleportation threshold to block some monks who want to go to the Neptune ruins to gain luck.
The same is true for the Xutian Palace. Every time when the forces of good and evil in Chaos Xinghai are strong, the Star Palace will tamper with the Xutian Palace, causing some of the alchemy monks who entered it to die inexplicably.
When Elder Gu said this to Ye Changsheng, he probably meant to test Ye Changsheng's views on Xing Gong.
Unfortunately, the expression on Ye Changsheng's face was very calm, and although his eyes flickered, his specific thoughts could not be seen.
This made Elder Gu feel a little regretful.
This fellow of unknown origin, who has just formed an elixir, is also a thoughtful fellow!
"Thank you, Brother Gu, for informing me of this information!" Ye Changsheng said with his hands in hand.
Then, he changed the topic again and said: "However, Brother Gu wants me to participate in the operation to encircle and suppress the infant carp beast based on these alone. Isn't it a little insufficient?"
Elder Gu was not surprised when he heard what he said. He stroked his beard and laughed, saying: "Of course our Sixth Company Palace will not use this bit of information just to get Taoist brother to take action!"
"If we, the Sixth Company, have mastered the approximate location of the Nine Heavens Purple Jade in the Neptune Ruins, and drawn a map, which can be handed over to Brother Dao, I wonder if Brother is willing to participate in this hunting of the Infant Carp Beast?
"
"How should I trust whether your map is correct?" Ye Changsheng asked calmly.
Elder Gu shook his head and said: "Brother Dao, our Sixth Company is in business. If we deceive you about this kind of thing, then our reputation will be ruined. We can't possibly do such an unwise act!"
Ye Changsheng chuckled: "My personal character makes it impossible for me to place my hope on the credibility of others. I hope Brother Dao will forgive me for this!"
Rubbing his brow in distress, Elder Gu said helplessly: "Forget it, since Brother Dao is so suspicious, let's choose a middleman!"
"I have also met Taoist brother Mulong Zhenren, the owner of Kuixing Island. I wonder if Taoist brother knows anything about this person?" Elder Gu asked.
Ye Changsheng shook his head, he didn't know much about the real Mu Long.
The ancient elder did not show off, and said directly: "The reason why the real Mulong is called Mulong comes from a powerful ancient treasure he has in his possession - the Wooden Dragon Stake!"
"And this ancient treasure was obtained by Master Mulong more than a hundred years ago when he entered the Neptune Site shortly after entering the realm of pill formation!"
"It is precisely because of this ancient treasure that he can obtain the position of the leader of Kuixing Island. Otherwise, with his strength as a mid-stage pill-forming monk, how could he defeat so many opponents?"
"Oh, is there such a past event?" Ye Changsheng's face showed a thoughtful look.
"I can store this map with Master Mulong first, and also ask Master Mulong to identify the authenticity of this map. After killing the infant carp beast, Brother Dao can get this map from Master Mulong."
Map, what do you think?"
"Mulong Zhenren's reputation has always been good. Brother Dao must have heard of it too!"
Elder Gu has already talked about this. If Ye Changsheng refuses to agree, it will appear that he has no cooperative attitude.
Of course, more importantly, he couldn't help but agree.
After all, there is only one clue about the Nine Heavens Purple Jade now. If you don't seize this clue, there will be no other way to obtain the Nine Heavens Purple Jade.
Even with the guarantee of Master Mu Long, Ye Changsheng cannot really believe in that map. He will still find ways to verify it in many aspects in the future, so as to ensure that it is foolproof.
So, he readily agreed and said: "I still trust Master Mu Long, so I will follow the plan mentioned by Brother Gu!"
"Okay, then let's go to Zhenren Mulong's place now!" Elder Gu said vigorously and immediately stood up.
The two of them immediately headed to Master Mulong's cave.
In the cave of Master Mulong, Ye Changsheng came here for the second time.
When he saw Ye Changsheng and Elder Gu coming together, a strange look flashed in the island owner's eyes.
There was a hint of vigilance in his eyes when he looked at Ye Changsheng.
It was not until Elder Gu finished introducing the purpose of their visit that the vigilance slowly dissipated.
If Ye Changsheng's spiritual consciousness hadn't been powerful enough, he wouldn't have been able to detect this subtle change in him.
"It is rumored that the island owner of Kuixing Island has a close relationship with the people from the Sixth Company Palace, but now it seems that the situation is different from the rumors. The island owner is obviously wary of the people from the Sixth Company Palace!
"Ye Changsheng thought in his heart.
"It turns out that you two are here for this kind of thing. Alas, I didn't expect that Brother Ye would need such hard-to-find materials to refine the magic weapon. Let me take a look at this map!"
As he spoke, he took the map handed over by the ancient elder, penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness, and began to look at it.
"Well, the location marked on the map is Mingyang Pavilion, which is where the Sea King clan originally stored important weapon refining materials. There may indeed be materials that Brother Ye wants!" Master Mulong said calmly.
"Brother Ye, should you believe me now?" Elder Gu said with a smile.
"Haha, I judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. I hope Brother Gu can forgive me!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile.
After depositing the map with Zhenren Mulong, the two walked out of the cave. The ancient elder cupped his hands and said:
"The time to hunt the baby carp beast is in three days. Brother Ye can come to Yuhuanju to find me at that time!"
"Ye will definitely arrive on time!" Ye Changsheng cupped his hands and said with a smile.
Elder Gu also bowed and then left in a hurry.
Looking at his back, a thoughtful look flashed in Ye Changsheng's eyes.
Currently, there should be six alchemy monks on Kuixing Island.
The two elders Gu and Miao of the Sixth Lian Palace, plus the three island owners and Ye Changsheng.
It is not difficult to guess the reason why Liulian Palace invited Ye Changsheng to participate in the hunt for baby carp beasts.
It is simply because he has just formed a pill and the price he needs to pay is lower.
In addition, he did not belong to any power and had the possibility of joining the Sixth Lian Palace, so the Sixth Lian Palace tried its best to invite him with the intention of wooing him.
If it were other pill-forming monks, the price Six Link Hall would have to pay would be much more than this.
"Hunting the infant carp beast, if nothing goes wrong, Wu Chou will come out. The position of the Sixth Company Hall represented by Gu and Miao will also be made clear in this battle!"
"Hmph, I want the flesh, blood and inner elixir of the sixth-level monster, and I also want your storage bag!" Ye Changsheng sneered in his heart.
Although he has just entered the Dan Formation, in fact, his magic power has exceeded the average monks in the middle stage of the Formation.
Moreover, he has also mastered two ancient treasures. Even if he is facing an ordinary late-stage pill formation, he can still kill them as long as the opponent does not have a powerful magic weapon.
He still didn't pay attention to the few people in the Sixth Company Hall.
