Immortal Mansion Royal Beast

Baishan, the bottom of the lake, the second secret treasure floor. The risk here is obviously much greater than the previous floor. Even with the Jindan cultivator Chu Shen looking after it, casualties were inevitable among the team.

After all, there are many low-level monks, and some of them are more greedy and reckless. The situation changes rapidly during the battle, and it is common for them to suffer heavy losses at the hands of their enemies if they are not careful.

Jiang Kui's team also suffered damage, with two people missing from the eight-member team.

However, other people turned a blind eye to it. If you go out on an adventure, you must be prepared to sacrifice yourself. After hanging out in Baishan for a lifetime, I have this understanding.

As the group moved forward, more and more puppet mechanical beasts appeared, and their strength was mostly approaching the foundation-building stage. The boxes containing treasures in their abdomens had turned bronze.

As he walked along, Chu Shen became more and more worried. Who was the one who created a puppet mechanical beast of this scale? Why was there no clear record of it in past history?

The materials needed to refine puppet mechanical beasts cannot appear out of nowhere, and the number of cultivators required for refining cannot be limited to three, four or five people.

There must be a sect that is famous for refining puppet mechanical beasts. Even if it is destroyed, it can still be counted as one of them.

However, Chu Shen gathered the information he had and found that no such sect had risen in Baisha in the past thousand years.

Could it be a weapon refining sect from the outside world? Or could it be a past that is more than a thousand years old, but even more distant.

Unlike other cultivators who were excited to kill the puppet mechanical beasts here, Chu Shen focused most of his attention on observing the decorative details of this place.

It’s a little trick that you can tell the aesthetic taste of the owner of a place from its decoration.

'It's an exquisite mechanical puppet with great attention to detail. Even the ears and beards of the insignificant puppet beasts are carved in place. This is a serious waste for a puppet beast with combat attributes.

He also has an aesthetic taste that makes him want to fill every corner with murals. The owner of this place is really a monk who is very strict with himself.

The all-knowing old man? That fits his life story.'

Before entering the lake, there were many different opinions about the owner of the secret treasure here. One of them was that it was left by the omniscient old man.

The Omniscient Old Man claimed that he knew everything about the past five thousand years and the future five thousand years. In the Biography of the Omniscient Old Man he wrote, he predicted many major events, which was once convincing.

It's just that he was too popular back then. He commented on the internal affairs of Qiyun and Taming Beasts, and revealed some dirty things that these big sects didn't want outsiders to know about. And then he disappeared.

However, the scale of the hidden treasures here is too huge, and even with the ability of the omniscient old man back then, he could not have created these secretly and without warning.

Chu Shen guessed that it was most likely that the omniscient old man cooperated with others to build this secret treasure, and the omniscient old man was responsible for the planning, so the style here was very similar to that of this person.

What was the omniscient old man trying to do? Was he looking for a successor to carry on his legacy?

This is too hard to be convincing. How can it be more reliable to pass on information through distance than to conduct an in-person inspection? If you entrust the information to the wrong person, your whole life's innocence will be ruined.

Unless the omniscient old man is really confident in himself and thinks he can predict the future and make a backup plan, he should be waiting for a successor to be born at this moment and then be attracted here.

If this is really the case, then the realm of the omniscient old man is nothing more than the Nascent Soul stage. It would be better for him to go straight to the Spiritual Transformation stage.

Thinking of this, Chu Shen couldn't help but smile and was happy with his own wild thoughts.

After laughing a few times, a disciple asked curiously:

"Master, have you thought of anything interesting?"

Chu Shen laughed and was about to say what he was thinking, but when the words came to his lips, doubts suddenly came to his mind.

"Why am I laughing? With my current level of sophistication and intelligence, I shouldn't be so cheerful in this situation."

It was as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake, and waves of ripples cleared away the fog in Chu Shen's mind. He keenly realized that there was some kind of mechanism here that was affecting his mind.

This arrangement of mechanisms was some kind of subtle method, and the mind-purifying instrument that he wore did not play the role it should have.

Or perhaps this method of influencing the mind is too mild and not enough to trigger the automatic protection of the magic weapon.

After reading this, Chu Shen said:

"Gather the men, we'll set up camp and rest."

Although the disciples did not understand Chu Shen's thoughts, they obeyed his orders. After sending out the sect signal, everyone gathered together after a while.

"Count the personnel and see if there are any missing?"

There are disciples in charge of this matter, and there are also people who set up magical arrays for protection. These have been practiced well, so Chu Shen doesn't need to remind them specifically.

"Master, the people from Qingyuan Sect haven't come back yet. Should we send someone to look for them?"

Chu Shen hesitated for a moment and said:

"Let's wait a little longer. Since we have to take care of them, we can't just ignore them. But after all, they are out on an adventure, and there is no need for us to act as babysitters. If they never come back, then we have no choice but to do this."

As the leader of the Nanchu Sect, Chu Shen is naturally responsible for the safety of his disciples. As for the disciples of the Qingyuan Sect, he will help them if he can, but he cannot sacrifice the interests of his own sect and take care of the Qingyuan Sect alone. This is not the style of a qualified leader.

The disciples of Nan Chumen naturally obeyed Chu Shen's orders. Chu Shen had been in power for many years and had a very high prestige, so he was able to restrain these disciples in this adventure area.

In comparison, Jiang Kui's prestige is not enough. The profit from the auction was divided equally before, only because the profit was not enough to offset the cost of falling out. But now, when a pill that can make people see the future is right in front of them, the tacit understanding that existed among them before seems very subtle.

Deep in a passage, the mechanical puppet beasts scattered on the ground were stained with blood, and Jiang Kui was confronting several monks in front of him.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, let's vote to decide who owns this thing. You don't agree. Based on your net worth, you can't afford the corresponding reward. So why do you want to snatch it now?"

Jiang Kui pursed his lips and remained silent. Just after everyone killed the puppet beast, he opened a bottle of third-level elixir, which was very helpful for forming a pill. However, there was only one bottle of elixir and only one pill in the bottle, so how to distribute it became a problem.

As the person with the highest cultivation level, Jiang Kui naturally wanted to get it. However, the other Qi-refining cultivators were still okay, but the Foundation-building cultivator who came with him also showed interest in this pill.

Since everyone wanted it, they would auction it in the same way as before. Jiang Kui thought she would win for sure, but she had practiced cultivation for a lifetime and there was no way she could save up much.

She used the income from Yuanling Mountain to practice, and later she lived in seclusion in a tea garden, where she had no income. Later, she went to Qingyuan Sect to practice, relying only on her monthly salary. The spirit stones she accumulated were no match for this ancestor of a foundation-building family.

At this point, Jiang Kui knew that she was not good at business and had no extra money, but when faced with this bottle of medicine, she was really unwilling to give it up.

"Everyone, this pill is related to my great path to forming a pill, so please help me."

"What a joke! Your path to forming a pill is a great path, but ours is not? There are so many people waiting to use this pill outside, and you want to take such a precious thing into your pocket with just one sentence. Aren't you taking yourself too seriously?"

The Foundation Establishment cultivator on the opposite side immediately refuted with sharp and merciless words, leaving Jiang Kui speechless. Yes, the people in front of him were not related to him, so how could they give up such a huge benefit.

Even if they are related, I guess no one would give him the bottle of pills.

"Either we fight to see who's better, and the winner gets the elixir; or we each use spirit stones to negotiate, and the one with the highest price wins. Fellow Daoist Jiang, you choose one."

Seeing that the people on the opposite side refused to give in and were determined, Jiang Kui thought again and again and still chose not to take action. It was not because he could not defeat these people, but because Jiang Kui still had some determination in his heart.

I am just a guest in Baishan, not a native of Baishan.

"In that case, I don't want this bottle of medicine. From now on, we will go our separate ways."

After Jiang Kui said this, she was about to turn around and leave, when the other party called her.

"Wait, this is your share, don't tell me we don't follow the rules."

The person on the other side threw a storage bag to Jiang Kui, who took it casually, then turned around and disappeared into the depths of the passage.
