In the subsequent tunnels, Shi Chishang and others encountered several monster beasts transformed by earth-type spiritual energy. However, unlike the previous rat tide, although these earth-type monster beasts were far more powerful than rat monsters individually, their numbers were too small, and Shi Chi It only took Shang and others a quarter of an hour to kill all these earth monsters.
When they came to the end of the tunnel, everyone also saw a door. Shi Chishang pushed the door open and entered. Behind the door was indeed a hall similar to the Fire Palace just now. The difference was that the earth spiritual energy filled the hall here.
Looking at the magic circle in the center of the hall, Shi Chishang nodded and said: "It seems that it is arranged according to the five elements."
"Then let's go back first?" Zheng Duobao asked.
"What's the rush?" Cao Hong chuckled, "How about we take a look at what's inside this magic circle first?"
"Can you see what's inside without destroying this magic circle?" Shi Chishang said with a sad smile.
Cao Hong hesitated and said angrily: "No."
Chen Yixia also smiled: "Let's go back first, there will probably be some wrangling later."
Shi Chishang smiled. Before they retreated, a few people checked the main hall and found a batch of earth-type spiritual gold.
When they returned to the Fire Palace, everyone from the Mantis Sect had also returned. When Chi Shang explained the situation of the Earth Palace, Guo Xuejun was overjoyed: "It is indeed arranged according to the Five Elements."
Liu Xuelei smiled at Shi Chishang. After thinking about it, he also saw that the one who made the decision among the five was not Chen Yixia, who had been contacted in advance: "We just checked the magic circle and found that the restriction of the gate is powered by this magic circle, so as long as Destroying the magic circle will open the restriction."
"Will it destroy the balance of the five elements?" Shi Yirui asked.
Tian Xiwei nodded and said: "Yes, and if there is no accident, once the magic circle is broken, the ruins will collapse. However, we have just calculated that if five large formations are broken at the same time, the power of the five elements can still maintain the balance for a period of time. But it only lasts for about twelve minutes at most.”
Shi Chishang's eyes widened. In twelve minutes, not only did he have to break the magic circle, but he also had to rush into the core of the ruins whose reality was unknown. This was too dangerous.
Fang Xian and others also knew the danger, and they were all hesitant.
Qian Feng was a straight-tempered man. Seeing their hesitation, he laughed and said: "We warriors always face difficulties, don't we have twelve minutes? I really can't find any benefit in it. It's useless to take these spiritual gold out." Small gain, isn’t it?”
Guo Xuejun twitched his lips. Those of them who were hired naturally had benefits, but in order to hire them, he had to spend a lot of money, especially at Shi Chishang's place. The conditions agreed at the time were that if spiritual gold was found in the ruins, Shi Chishang would Chi Shang and others have the first share of 500 kilograms to buy, and they also need a 50% discount.
However, after thinking about it, Guo Xuejun decided to break the formation. In order to explore the ruins in Longmen, they spent no less than 700 high-grade spiritual stones. If they were to withdraw now, they would only be able to make up for one third of it with the spiritual gold from the five halls. 2 expenses.
Now that they had decided, everyone discussed the assignment of tasks. There were five halls here, so they had to divide them into five, destroy the magic circle at the same time, and then rush from the five halls to the core of the ruins.
While several people were discussing, Shi Chishang was also thinking about which palace to choose. Logically speaking, the purple gold he needs is most likely to appear in the Golden Palace, but who can guarantee that? What if it doesn't happen?
But then he thought about it, anyway, he didn't need any other spiritual gold except Zijin. In this case, if there was no Zijin, it didn't matter which hall he chose.
"Then let's choose the Golden Palace." Shi Chishang pointed at the word "gold" on the Five Elements Diagram and said with a smile.
The others were still considering it. Seeing that he had chosen the Golden Palace, Fang Xian quickly said, "Then let's choose the Fire Palace."
"Isn't it said that fire defeats wood?" Shi Yirui curled his lips, "You should go to the Wood Palace."
She was just chatting casually, but when everyone looked over, Fang Xian sneered and said, "Have you read too many novels? Fire overcomes metal. When did it become wood?"
Shi Yirui's eyes widened with astonishment on her face. She had always thought that fire defeated wood. After all, trees were most afraid of fire. Who would have thought that among the five elements, fire actually defeated metal.
"Be careful what you say!" Cao Hong raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Aren't plants and trees afraid of fire?"
Fang Xian was startled and was about to argue when Qian Feng lost his temper and said, "What's the point of arguing? Then our Mantis Sect will choose the Earth Palace."
Lu Qingming smiled and said: "Our Xuanqing Temple chooses the water palace."
Seeing everyone in Xunlongmen watching, Fang Xian's eyes twitched and he said coldly: "Choose the Fire Palace."
"Then we will choose the wooden palace." Guo Xuejun said with a smile.
Several people took out their mobile phones to check the time. Since neither the Golden Palace nor the Water Palace had been explored, and they didn't know the specific situation, they set the time to start in half an hour, so that Shi Chi Shang and Xuan Qing would have everyone in the audience. Plenty of time.
After setting a time, everyone immediately started to take action. Although Xunlongmen was not strong enough, fortunately, Mantismen had just helped them clean up the monsters in the tunnel. In addition, Xuanqing spectators needed to pass through the Wooden Hall to go to the Water Palace, so they could also drop by. Escort them.
Shi Chishang and the others from the Mantis Sect left the Fire Palace and walked along the tunnel for a while. Qian Feng suddenly asked curiously: "Brother, how come we didn't see a single monster corpse along the way? You didn't encounter any monsters." What?"
"How could that happen?" Shi Yirui said crookedly, "The monsters in the Earth Palace are all made of mud. After they die, they turn into a puddle of mud. Well, that's what you just stepped on."
The corner of Qian Feng's mouth twitched, and his carefree steps became cautious. Cao Hong smiled unconsciously and said, "Master Qian, are you mysophobic?"
"How is that possible? Do you think I have mysophobia?" Qian Feng said this, but still walked carefully, avoiding every puddle of mud along the way.
After arriving at the Earth Palace, Qian Feng and others naturally stayed, while Shi Chishang and the other five left the hall through another door and continued towards the Golden Palace.
The monster outside the Golden Palace is a metal man, not a puppet, but its body is made of metal, similar to the iron man and golden man in Western fantasy novels.
To deal with this kind of metal man, Shi Chishang has much more means. Just the fire mist sword light mixed with Yang Yan is enough to kill him.
As for Chen Yixia, she drew out the short knife that exuded strong heat and chopped the metal men into pieces with ease.
Not long after, the five people had entered the golden palace. Shi Chishang did not go to see the formation for the first time, but looked for the spiritual gold that might exist in this hall.
Suddenly, Shi Chishang looked surprised, because he saw dozens of piles of purple-glossy metal around the hall.
Purple gold!
Quickly arriving in front of the spiritual gold, Shi Chishang grabbed a piece and inspected it carefully. Then he exhaled softly and realized that it was indeed purple gold.
Think about it, this ruins is located under the mine, there must be abundant metal deposits, and according to the five elements, the Fire Palace has Flame Essence Iron, and the Earth Palace has Kun Yuan Iron, so in the Golden Palace, which is the only one among the Five Elements that belongs to the Gold Element, Spiritual gold is certainly the highest level.
However, these purple gold still need to be tempered by Haoran's righteousness before Shi Chishang can use them.
Thinking of this, the joy in Shi Chishang's heart dropped slightly. He put down the purple gold and turned to look at the magic circle. He scanned it carefully with his mind for a moment, frowned and said, "It's a bit difficult to break the formation."
"It's so difficult," Cao Hong said with a smile as he shouldered the sword carelessly, "Fire overcomes gold, just use fire to burn it!"
Hearing her mention that fire can overcome metal, Shi Yirui blushed slightly, obviously remembering the joke he had just made.
"Okay! You were the ones doing it just now, and neither my junior brother nor I helped." Shi Yirui rubbed his cheeks, covered up his embarrassment, and said with a smile, "Then I'll leave this matter of breaking the formation to you. Give it to me and junior brother."
Seeing Chi Shang looking over, Zheng Duobao offered up a huge fire cauldron with a smile. Cao Hong's eyes showed a sudden look, and he laughed and said: "Haha, with the immortal weapon here, it is indeed much easier to break the formation."
At this time, there was still about a quarter of an hour before the agreed time to take action, so everyone sat down to rest.
Shi Chishang did not sit down, but walked around the hall a few times. After careful counting, he found that there was a lot of purple gold in the hall, probably far more than three thousand kilograms.
While he was thinking, Chen Yixia suddenly walked over and said with a chuckle: "It seems that these purple gold are what you need."
"Yes, thank you this time. When I get back, I will take you to the Yanhu Purple Sword Sect." Shi Chishang said with a smile.
"You're welcome, it's just a transaction," Chen Yixia waved her hand, a dignified look on her face, "You want Fang Xian and the others to take action?"
Seeing Chi Shang's eyes look suspicious, Chen Yixia smiled and said: "I'm not blind. When I mentioned their conspiracy before, the murderous aura in you was so strong. You obviously have murderous intentions. However, I advise you to think about it again. Although there are not many experts in Chunyang Temple and Xuanqing Temple, and the top ones are only at the Yuan Shen stage, they are still members of the heretic sect. If you kill them, the consequences will be difficult to deal with."
Shi Chishang smiled: "If I don't kill them, how can I get the Taoist sect to pay attention to me?"
Chen Yixia was stunned for a moment, then her face suddenly changed slightly: "What do you mean?"
Shaking his head, Shi Chishang said calmly: "Not necessarily."
He answered vaguely, but Chen Yixia already knew what he meant and frowned: "You are now at the ninth level. Although you are considered a top expert in the outside world, the thirteen mountains of the Inner Dao Sect are all guarded by Heavenly Tribulation and Yuanshen. , you are playing with fire."
"Master Qian just said something, and I think it's right to face the difficulties." Shi Chishang held the hilt of the sword with a smile on his lips, "With the Dragon Group here and the threats from so many foreign forces, what do you think of the Taoist sect?" Even if you want to target me, how much strength can you, or dare you, use to deal with me?"
"That's different," Chen Yixia sat next to him and frowned, "Since the founding of the Taoist sect, the purpose was to become one of the holy places of the year. If the internal and external Taoist sects didn't have their own ideas, even the Dragon Group would not be able to compete with them. Besides, , you are a ghost after all, once you touch someone from the outside world, it will easily trigger a chain reaction."
"Let's talk about it!" Shi Chishang smiled. When he saw Shi Yirui getting up, he also got up and said with a smile, "Let's go! Get ready to take action!"
Seeing him walking towards the magic circle with a smile, Chen Yixia stood up with eyes filled with concentration. She did not care about Shi Chi Shang's safety, but Shi Chi Shang was from the Yanhu Purple Sword Sect and she was obsessed with her senior brother Xue Duxiu. In other words, he loves the house and the bird, and is worried about Shi Chishang's situation.
