Living as a Mortal: Grinding Experience Starting from the Underworld

Chapter 115 Scavenging in the Inner Palace

A dim light flashed, and Zhang Feng and his group stepped into a maze filled with bluestone walls.

Han Li looked at the maze that moved around like a living creature and felt a little worried.

Han Li summoned two talismans and left them on the stone walls of the maze he had passed through.

Boom!

The moment the talisman was affixed, a burst of white spiritual light suddenly erupted, and the violent spiritual power almost lifted the group of people off their feet.

"No need for these markings. I'll bring you out when we leave."

The bearded man led the way, speaking casually.

Upon hearing this, Han Li nodded and stopped releasing talismans.

"Kids, don't even think about flying. There are restrictions here!"

The bearded man offered a reminder.

"Feng'er, remember not to stray too far from me!"

Qingyi whispered instructions to Zhang Feng behind him.

"Um.

""

Zhang Feng nodded in agreement.

A moment later, the surrounding stone walls suddenly stopped moving, and the group passed through the maze.

Ji Yin glanced at the four people behind him and secretly sent a telepathic message to Wu Chou.

Wu He spoke amiably and strolled over to Han Li's side: "Junior Brother Han, the treasures of the inner hall are inside this stone gate."

"We Core Formation stage cultivators can only try our luck at finding treasures on this level."

"Going into the other floors would be practically suicide!"

Han Li was somewhat flattered and didn't say much before acting together with Wu Chou.

"Feng'er, if you don't lack magical treasures, then come with Han boy!"

"That old man Jiyin, I don't know what he told his grandson, go and find out."

Qingyi's telepathic message also reached Zhang Feng's ear.

Zhang Feng nodded slightly. He had already acquired enough ancient treasures on this trip, so traveling with Han Li was not a bad idea.

After all, the inner palace was dangerous, and he still had things to discuss with Han Li.

hum!

Just as Zhang Feng was about to leave, the stone wall in front of him turned slightly.

For some reason, Zhang Feng suddenly felt a strong urge to go inside.

Something was strongly drawing him in from behind the stone wall.

A cultivator's intuition is generally somewhat reliable. Zhang Feng looked at the stone wall nearby and Wu Chou and Han Li in the distance, and fell into deep thought.

To go in or not to go in?

If they enter and retrieve the treasure, they will be teleported out, and Zhang Feng's previous plans will fall through.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Feng suppressed the urge to go inside and retrieve the treasure, and walked towards Wu Chou and Han Li.

"Wu—Senior Brother, if what you say is true, wouldn't we be giving up these opportunities we've already gained if we don't find a way to enter the stone gate?"

Han Li asked.

"You're right, I'd also like to go in and explore."

"But unfortunately, once you enter and successfully retrieve the treasure, you will be immediately teleported out."

"It's ugly," Wu Chou sighed.

Automatic delivery!

Han Li's gaze sharpened slightly as he transmitted his voice to Zhang Feng, who was approaching.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, you just heard that, didn't you? As long as we can enter the stone gate, we can successfully retrieve the treasure."

"We can then teleport directly out of the Void Heaven Palace."

"Why don't we just kill Wu Chou directly, find a stone gate at random, enter to take the treasure, send word out of the Void Heaven Palace, and escape to heaven?"

Zhang Feng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

He forgot that Han Li had been forced into the inner hall of the Void Heaven Palace by Ji Yin and had witnessed numerous dangers.

Given Han Li's cautious nature, he probably already had the idea of ​​escaping.

"Fellow Daoist Han, you mustn't. Ji Yin has Wu Chou following you closely precisely because he's afraid you'll run away."

"If we dare to make any unusual moves, those Nascent Soul cultivators will probably find out immediately and capture us."

Zhang Feng pondered for a moment and then transmitted his voice.

The gap between Core Formation and Nascent Soul is too great; there is simply no way for them to resist.

Upon hearing this, Han Li looked at the stone wall a few feet away.

Seeing this, Wu Chou stepped forward, grabbed Han Li's shoulder, and brought him back.

"The ancestor instructed that a senior brother should act like a senior brother."

"I will definitely stay by my side and take good care of my junior brother."

Wu Chou gently patted Han Li's shoulder and said with a smile.

"You guys, keep up!"

Not far away, the Ji Yin group, having found the entrance, called out to the three.

The three exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

Upon entering, two large, round blue stone discs, each several meters wide, appeared before everyone.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators boarded the first disc, while Zhang Feng and his group of four landed on the second disc.

"We'll lead the way, you guys just need to keep yourselves safe."

After the three bearded men stepped onto the blue stone disc, they were the first to take flight.

The disc carrying Zhang Feng and his three companions followed closely behind.

Zhang Feng released his divine sense and looked at the surrounding walls and pavilions. Many puppets exuding a chilling aura were staring at the group menacingly.

This is a puppet powered by the Yinming Beast Crystal!

The Netherworld Beast Crystal is also called a Soul Stone, and Zhang Feng still has many high-level Netherworld Beast Crystals in his storage bag.

This time, we can collect some broken puppets.

After the Void Heaven Palace event concludes, I'll trade with Han Li for the puppetry technique, which I can then study.

Boom boom boom!

The bearded man's Heaven-Supporting Demon Skill is truly formidable.

Zhang Feng could not detect its specific movement trajectory with his divine sense, but he saw that a large number of puppets between the buildings were broken.

Many of the puppets' severed limbs fell onto the disc where Zhang Feng and his group were.

Seeing this, Zhang Feng didn't stand on ceremony. He saw the intact limb and began to put it into his storage bag.

The same goes for Han Li.

"Ha, you two, stop wasting your time."

"These puppets have been studied by predecessors for who knows how long. Although the materials are rare, they cannot be replicated, so picking them up would be useless."

Xuan Gu spoke sarcastically.

Zhang Feng glanced at it but didn't pay it much attention.

According to his guess from Wan Qing, it is likely that Wan Sangu, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator behind the Wanfa Sect, has already been secretly researching these things.

After all, Wan Qing had exchanged Yinming Beast Crystals with him several times.

"Exactly, you two are clearly rogue cultivators, so ignorant!"

Wu Chou pointed at Han Li and Zhang Feng and said.

However, after Zhang Feng's gaze swept over them briefly, Wu Chou shuddered. Seeing Zhang Feng's look, he immediately turned to Han Li: "Alright, alright, Junior Brother Han, quickly clean up this trash and stop picking at it!"

Zhang Feng smiled slightly, it seemed that Wu Chou still had a deep impression of him.

Squeak!

The group reached the top and entered another maze.

The three men with the bushy beard led the way, with Zhang Feng and his group of four following closely behind.

After walking for a while, the three bearded men suddenly stopped.

Zhang Feng and his three companions then stopped.

Heavy footsteps echoed from all around, and Zhang Feng looked around.

Dozens of two-headed snake guard puppets, each about ten feet in size, surrounded the group.

Zhang Feng scanned the puppets with his divine sense and found that the aura emanating from them was actually at the level of the mid-stage Core Formation realm.

"These puppets on this level are a bit troublesome, everyone. Let's attack together!"

"Do as you please!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bearded man unleashed a punch, the golden spiritual energy fist shadow instantly splitting into hundreds of afterimages that rushed toward the puppets in all directions.

Qingyi made a hand seal, and the bamboo scroll slowly unfolded, revealing silver needles of bluish-white color that gleamed with a cold light. Under his guidance, they shot out.

Ji Yin condensed several balls of pitch-black flame in his hand and kept throwing them out.

Rumble!

A series of explosions rang out, and the ground was littered with the remains of puppets.

Zhang Feng and Han Li picked up the puppet's trash.

Suddenly!

A streak of moon-white light flashed above their heads!

Three figures, enveloped in flowing light, traversed the layers of the maze, flew over the heads of the crowd, and rushed towards the exit.

"Wan Tianming, what methods are they using? How can they be so fast?"

"We need to speed things up too!"

The extremely yin voice came out.

"Hmph, so what!"

"The Void Heaven Cauldron is not so easy to obtain; otherwise, it would never have been our turn."

77

The bearded man snorted coldly and continued leading the group forward.
