After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 93 The End
"They must have some special means to find us at any time. There's no need to waste time on this."

Han Meiyan's expression was somewhat unpleasant, while Zhang He frowned and asked:
"If the Eighth Prince keeps following us, how are we going to get the Qilin blood?"

Han Meiyan's slender and charming eyes revealed a thoughtful look as she pondered:

"We can only take it one step at a time for now. If all else fails, I'll lead them away while you get the Qilin blood. We'll act separately."

Hearing this, Zhang He glanced at Han Meiyan, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he nodded slowly:

"That's the only way!"

……

"Why haven't we seen even a single copper coin on our way here?"

Li Yuanling steered the wooden boat, her eyes scanning the rock walls of the caves on both sides, as if she was trying hard to find something?
"How do I know this?"

Li Musheng shrugged, but soon waved his hand and said casually:

"But it's okay. Let's get to the finish line first. If it gets worse, we can just grab it later."

Hearing this, Li Yuanling's expression suddenly changed. She stretched out her finger and poked her smooth chin, then said in sudden realization:

"That's right. The rules written on the stone tablet don't say we can't steal copper coins. We'll guard the road leading to the end point and collect a copper coin for every wooden boat that passes. That shouldn't be too much."

Li Musheng nodded in agreement.

It's just a level-breaking game anyway, so there's absolutely no problem if your moral quality is a little lower.

For the rest of the journey, Li Musheng and the other person stuck to Han Meiyan and Zhang He, turning left and right in various caves, and constantly passing through the underground water maze.

Sometimes they would be suddenly attacked by hidden weapons released from the rock walls, and sometimes they would encounter underwater mechanisms and secret passages that disrupted the waterways and suddenly raised huge waves in an attempt to damage and overturn the boats.

However, these naturally could not have any impact on Li Musheng and the others. Their wooden boat always followed Han Meiyan and Zhang He, and finally arrived at the end of the entire maze without any danger.

"These two demons are quite powerful."

Li Musheng nodded slowly. The other party basically did not take any detours along the way and almost went straight to the maze. He really had some skills.

Li Yuanling was in a good mood at this time. She looked around and saw that the end of the maze was a huge underground palace.

The palace was brightly lit with candles. The foundation was built of granite. Dozens of huge stone pillars rose from the ground, each carved with various intricate and exquisite "wooden boat" patterns.

On the top of the entire palace, stalactites hang down like solidified waterfalls, sparkling with colorful lights in the candlelight.

There is a waterway in the center of the underground palace connected to the cave. After the wooden boat arrives, it can enter the palace through the gate arched over the water.

At this time, Han Meiyan signaled Zhang He to stop the wooden boat and turned to Li Musheng behind him and said:
"I was very rude just now. Please go ahead, sir. This is my apology."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanling frowned immediately. She quickly stretched out her hand to block Li Musheng, showing a vigilant look.

The effect of Han Meiyan's charm on her had gradually worn off, and she now returned to her defensive attitude towards her.

Li Musheng nodded slightly. This evil witch had such a good grasp of the ways of the world that he really had no way of sternly rejecting her.

"Let's go in and take a look first, to see if we can get some magical items that can improve our cultivation."

Li Musheng spoke to Li Yuanling.

The other party hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything more. He then steered the wooden boat past Han Meiyan and the others and headed towards the underground palace. Seeing this, Han Meiyan and the others looked at each other, and silently followed behind them.

"Congratulations to the two distinguished guests who were the first to pass the maze, with a total accumulated mark count of 210."

A middle-aged man in a brocade robe, holding a record book, walked towards the wooden boat where Li Musheng and the other man were, with a smile on his face, and stopped.

Hearing this, Li Yuanling looked at the other party, but waved her hand directly and said bluntly:
"To cut a long story short, just tell us directly, what is the reward for first place? Is there a magical item that can improve martial arts cultivation?"

The middle-aged man in brocade robe was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he did not expect Li Yuanling to speak so bluntly. He chuckled twice and said with a bow:
"Although I don't know where the young lady heard this rumor, the rewards that Fuzhou City gives to distinguished guests are generally some powerful martial arts secrets, or valuable weapons forged by famous masters, or some rare treasures..."

"But it's true that there has never been any magical item that can improve cultivation!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanling frowned tightly and quit immediately.

She pointed at the pile of jade tablets on the wooden boat and said coldly:
"We've achieved such a high number of patterns, it must be a record. Are you from Fuzhou City so stingy that you really don't want to show your appreciation?"

However, the middle-aged man in brocade robe shook his head and said with a smile:

"Miss, you misunderstood. Although the number of patterns you obtained, 210, is very high, the highest number of patterns recorded in Fuzhou City so far is 250."

Li Musheng raised his eyebrows. This highest record number doesn’t sound very good.

Then, he glanced at the middle-aged man in brocade robes, stopped Li Yuanling who was obviously trying to argue with him, and asked with narrowed eyes:

"If we surpass the number of patterns you have recorded so far, can we obtain a divine object that can improve our cultivation?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man in brocade robe showed a helpless look on his face and said with a folded hand:
"Young Master, you have misunderstood. There really is no so-called magical object in Fuzhou City that can improve martial arts cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng turned his head to look at Li Yuanling and asked suspiciously:

"Is your news reliable?"

“It should be reliable.”

Li Yuanling blinked, but then she shrugged and said:

"But I'm... not sure if that magical object really exists."

Li Musheng's eyebrows suddenly jumped and he stared at the other person without saying a word.

Why don’t you listen to it yourself and see what nonsense it is?
However, he thought about it, then turned his head to look at Han Meiyan and the other person on the wooden boat behind him, and suddenly said:

"You guys are probably here for that divine object too, right?"

Upon hearing this, Han Meiyan and Zhang He looked at each other. Zhang He's expression changed for a moment, and he used a line of true energy to quietly transmit a message to Han Meiyan, obviously asking herself how to deal with Li Musheng.

Li Musheng, who saw this scene, immediately looked away.

The fact that the other party did not deny it immediately and communicated secretly through voice transmission has already made the problem clear. This means that there may really be some so-called divine objects in this Fuzhou City.

However, the Fuzhou City in front of them obviously had no intention of taking the divine object as a reward, and seemed to be trying hard to conceal the existence of the divine object.

"It seems that this thing should be a little unusual!" Li Musheng touched his chin.
