Chapter 174
"Bang" Ye Shi fell heavily to the ground. Although it hurt a little, Ye Shi felt that everything was settled. Mu Chen landed beside Ye Shi.
"Where is this place?" Ye Shi rubbed his butt which was a little sore from the fall and asked with a frown.
Mu Chen smiled and said, "I don't know either! But it seems that I have gotten rid of those old guys."
Ye Shi nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. "That old man Lin, the way he looked at me was really... disgusting."
The other party seemed to regard him as a piece of cake, and his eyes seemed to want to eat him alive. Ye Shi pursed his lips, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes. There is a way to steal the eyes in this world. The old man surnamed Lin should have fallen for Ye Shi's eyes. What a damn thing to buy.
As soon as Mu Chen and Ye Shi were teleported away, several Martial Emperor cultivators immediately went into a tizzy.
"What's going on? Where did Mu Chen and Ye Shi go?" Gu Miaoyu said angrily.
"It seems I was teleported away." Zhuang Yu bit his lip and said with a sense of loss. Zhuang Yu touched his chest and felt a piece of his heart missing. The feeling of having his treasure stolen came back.
"There's a teleportation array on that painting just now." Lin Moyuan said with a sinister look on his face.
"Where's the painting!" Ning Huai said with a frown.
"It's gone. It seems they were teleported away together."
"Hurry up and check if there's a teleportation array in the other paintings. I don't believe it's only on that one."
"What's in that painting? Did anyone see it clearly?" Lu Xingfeng asked with a grim expression.
"He seems to be a gentle-looking man." Zhuang Yu said after a moment of hesitation.
"A Russian man with a gentle appearance is in trouble." Lu Xingfeng gritted his teeth and said.
"It's troublesome, what's the trouble?" Lin Moyuan asked puzzledly.
"The owner of this secret realm should be Jiang Cheng. I heard that Jiang Cheng had a lover named Shuang'er, and they had a very good relationship. Jiang Cheng lived in seclusion after that person died, and has been in seclusion for thousands of years." Lu Xingfeng said slowly.
It is said that Jiang Cheng has a deep love for that person. If the painting depicts Jiang Cheng's lover, then the place where Muchen and Ye Shi were teleported to must be... a place with the most treasures.
"Lu Xingfeng, you knew about Jiang Cheng's lover, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Gu Miaoyu said unhappily.
Lu Xingfeng narrowed his eyes and said unhappily, "I'm fine. Why are you talking about someone else's lover?"
Gu Miaoyu narrowed her eyes and thought to herself: Lu Xingfeng is a shrewd man. If Mu Chen and Ye Shi hadn't gotten there first, the painting would most likely have fallen into the hands of Old Man Lu.
"Lou Qing, this is all your fault. Why did you bring two little brats in here for no reason?" Ning Huai said unhappily.
Lou Qing couldn't help but feel a little wronged. He brought Muchen and Ye Shi in with good intentions, thinking that the two of them were too weak to escape from his grasp. Who would have thought... Muchen and Ye Shi would leave from his sight so blatantly.
"Okay, everyone, stop arguing. Let's check other paintings to see if there are any teleportation arrays. It's not certain that they were teleported to a good place." Lu Xingfeng said coldly, but his words sounded very unconvincing.
·········
There is a crystal bead in the middle of the secret room where Muchen and Ye Shi are. The crystal bead sparkles with colorful luster. There are projections of red dots everywhere on the wall, and there is also a schematic diagram of the entire palace on the wall.
Ye Shi easily spotted the figures of Lu Xingfeng and the others. Seeing that Lu Xingfeng and the others had ugly faces, Ye Shi suddenly felt a sense of pleasure.
"Are we safe here? Will they come looking for us?" Ye Shi said with some uneasiness despite being happy.
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully: "It should be safe for the time being."
In the original text, Zhuang Yu accidentally triggered the teleportation array on the scroll, and Lu Xingfeng, Lu Yao and Zhuang Yu were teleported into this room together.
This room is the center of the entire palace.
The palace is divided into the outer hall and the inner hall. This room is naturally in the inner hall. The inner hall is guarded by a natural formation, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter.
In the original text, Zhuang Yu and others occupied the best resources in the center of the palace, while other emperor-level masters could only share some leftover soup with the palace outside without any hesitation.
Ye Shi saw Zhuang Yu and others, triggered several scrolls, and was teleported to different places.
Ye Shi cast his gaze on a diagram of the palace structure on the wall. The places where he sent the message were all outer halls, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go out and take a look to find out what's going on." Ye Shi gritted his teeth and said.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Okay."
Mu Chen and Ye Shi walked around the inner hall, both of their faces flushed.
The inner hall is divided into the main hall, alchemy room, weapon refining room, inscription room, formation room, talisman room, spiritual herb garden, training room, and spiritual beast room.
The main hall is a room where crystal beads are placed, which can control the changes in various parts of the palace.
There are a large number of books and materials in the five rooms: the alchemy room, the weapon refining room, the inscription room, the formation room, and the talisman room.
There were no spirit beasts in the spirit beast room, but there were some materials needed to raise spirit beasts, as well as some books about raising Ling Shao. There was a Yuanquan in the training room.
Level 4 spiritual herbs can be seen everywhere in the spiritual herb garden, there are also many level 5 spiritual herbs, and there are more than a dozen level 6 spiritual herbs.
"I'm rich, I'm rich." Ye Shi couldn't help but mutter.
Muchen nodded. He had indeed become rich. What a great fortune! No wonder Zhuang Yumeng became the protagonist. Such a great fortune belonged to him and his mistress. How could he not be the protagonist?
"Mu Chen, the room we were in just now seems to be the center of the palace." Ye Shi said.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "That's right."
Ye Shi said uneasily, "Zhuang Yu and the others were teleported to different places. Those places seem to belong to the Outer Palace."
"No one in the outer hall said anything good about you." Mu Chen said with narrowed eyes.
What the inner hall has is very different from what the outer hall has. This is the different treatment between the protagonist and cannon fodder. However, now everything in the inner hall belongs to him.
"I don't know if they will be teleported into the inner hall. If they can't be teleported in, we will be safe for the time being with this seventh-level formation as a barrier." Ye Shi said carefully.
"I think they shouldn't be able to teleport in." Mu Chen smiled and said calmly.
Ye Shi frowned. He and Muchen disappeared in front of those superior emperor-level masters. Those people must hate them to death now. If they came in, he and Muchen would have basically no chance of survival.
"What should we do now?" Ye Shi asked.
Mu Chen smiled and said, "Nothing much to do? Practice! But, this is a rare holy place for practice, don't you think?"
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes!" There is nothing missing here.
This was originally the place where the powerful Yi'e Wu Zong practiced. The entire palace was decorated with a large number of Yuan Gathering Arrays. There was a Yuan Spring in the training room of the inner hall. In the entire Xuanfeng Empire, there was no place as suitable for practice as this.
···········
Ye Shi and Muchen moved the crystal bead into the training room with Yuanquan. The crystal bead can monitor the movements outside. With the crystal bead, the two were happy to practice while monitoring the movements outside.
Ye Shi looked at Lou Qing and others wandering around outside, and suddenly some doubts flashed through his mind.
"Mu Chen, how did Bernish choose that painting among hundreds of scrolls?" Ye Shi asked curiously.
Mu Chen smiled and said, "That painting is the most lifelike! When painting people, the most important thing is to convey their spirit. If you don't have deep feelings, you won't be able to paint such a painting. If it were mine, I would definitely leave the best things to my beloved." Mu Chen said to Ye Shi affectionately.
Ye Shi blushed and said embarrassedly, "You really understand painting! I can't see anything."
Mu Chen smiled grimly in his heart. He didn't see anything and was just following the trajectory of the original book. These high-sounding words were just used to appease Ye Shi.
While Lou Qingtong was racking his brains outside, Muchen and Ye Shi began to practice in an orderly manner.
Ye Shi was a little worried at first, but when he saw that the people outside would not be able to come in for a while, he gradually put his mind at ease and worked hard to improve his strength.
The two of them practiced in the secret realm for more than a month. With sufficient vitality and resources to support them, their practice progressed rapidly, and soon both of them became sixth-level martial spirits.
Mu Chen took some time to cultivate the Heaven-Swallowing Peak in the Spirit Beast Room. Under the effect of the demon-summoning liquid, the Heaven-Swallowing Peak seemed to finally move.
·········
Lou Qing and the others searched the outer hall and soon gathered together again.
"We've searched the outer hall, but we didn't find Ye Shi and Muchen. These two little brats should have been teleported to the inner hall." Ning Huai said with both resentment and jealousy.
Gu Miaoyu gritted her teeth and said, "The things in the outer hall are just common goods. The good stuff is in the inner hall. If we can't get in, our trip will be in vain."
Ning Huai narrowed his eyes. At their level of cultivation, there were very few things they could take a fancy to.
In order to enter this secret realm, they actually paid a lot.
Lou Qing frowned. Mu Chen and Ye Shi were both brought here by him. During this period of time, the other people were a little dissatisfied with him.
"We have to find a way to enter the inner hall." Lu Xingfeng said.
"The inner hall is guarded by a seventh-level formation!" Gu Miaoyu frowned. They had lost one person before because of the sixth-level formation outside, not to mention the seventh-level formation in the inner hall.
"Didn't the Seven-Colored Blood Dove come here too? Let's find a way to let them explore the way!" Lu Xingfeng said coldly.
Gu Miaoyu looked at Lu Xingfeng thoughtfully and said, "This method is somewhat feasible."
"If we enter the inner hall, Ye Shi, that little bastard, must be left to me." Lin Moyuan said gloomily.
From the first time Lin Moyuan saw Ye Shi, he was thinking about how to snatch Ye Shi's eyes. Lin Moyuan thought that this person was in his pocket, but he didn't expect that he would have to watch Ye Shi walk away from him. What a shame, what a shame!
Zhuan Yu bit his lip and thought to himself: Many things in the outer hall are priceless treasures to him, how many good things should there be in the inner hall! As a result, all those good things now belong to Mu Chen and Ye Shi.
"It must be Mu Chen. If I find him, I will grind him to dust." Lou Qing said with a sinister look on his face.
During this period, Lou Qing was ostracized and his hatred for Muchen and Ye Shi grew deeper and deeper.
Ye Shi bit his lip and looked at Lou Qing and others in the light and shadow with a tense expression.
The crystal ball could only project images and had no sound, but Ye Shi understood lip reading and could hear everything the people said clearly.
Ye Shi looked at Lou Qing, a strong murderous look flashing in his eyes.
