Immortal Road.

Chapter 605: Prince Jingchen, Lost Seven of Nine

"The Yuxing token is the orthodox one of the cave residences, the Jinxing token has another meaning, what is the Chenxing token?"

When the Yuxing Token first appeared in Master Yuxing's cave, everyone was surprised.

Later, the Jinxing Token appeared. Although it was difficult to understand at first, there were many speculations.

Now suddenly a Chenxing Token appears!

This is very confusing.

"I don't know either. This token may be the same as the Jinxing Token. They are the key to the Star Palace. You might as well collect them together. Maybe they will come in handy when the time comes!"

The person who exchanged the tokens didn't know either and could only give his own guess.

The Prince of Jin read it over and over again, obviously undecided, and finally came up with a plan.

"Do you still have any of your tokens? I'll exchange two of them for a fourth-tier treasure for you."

The man asked doubtfully:

"Isn't it one token for two fourth-level treasures? Why is it the other way around?"

The Crown Prince of Jin chuckled twice, weighed the token, and shook his head.

"The Yuxing Token and the Jinxing Token are both made of fourth-level spiritual objects and refined using star tool techniques. Your Chenxing Token is only made of third-level materials. Although the star pattern looks like it, it's not quite there."

The man looked ugly.

"Your Highness, do you mean that I deliberately found a fake token to fool you?"

"That's not the case. I don't think Brother Dao would deliberately tease me, and I don't think you need to do that."

"only."

The Crown Prince of Jin looked around and said seriously:
"Until I'm sure this token is useful, I'll reserve my limited resources to exchange for Yuxing Tokens and Jinxing Tokens."

There's nothing wrong with this. A fourth-tier treasure doesn't come from the wind. Even if the person is in a high position and has a lot of wealth, it's impossible for him to accept all the garbage.

Good steel should be used on the blade.

"If you still have this kind of token, I will exchange a fourth-level treasure for two of yours for research. Once I find something, it won't be too late to contact you for follow-up cooperation."

The man hesitated for a moment, and it was obvious that there were more Chenxing tokens.

However, due to his greed, he thought about it and decided not to agree to the exchange.

"I understand the prince's concerns. I want to try to exchange with other old monsters."

There is more than one party who wants to acquire the token. If this party offers a lower price, he will go find someone else. It is just a matter of running errands anyway, and this person does not want to suffer any loss.

The Prince of Jin nodded and returned the token in his hand to him.

There were some people in the crowd who were planning to take them out for exchange, but when they saw that the Prince of Jin was trying to lower the price for this token, they had to leave in disappointment.

On the other side, the old man Han Zhen, a free-spirited master, greeted with a smile:
"My fellow Taoists, come to my place. I only accept Chenxing tokens, not other tokens. One token is worth a fourth-level treasure. I will not bargain with you!"

This genius, knowing that his financial resources were limited and that he could not compete with the larger sects, simply gave up collecting the Yuxing Token and the Jinxing Token and focused all his attention on the Chenxing Token.

Many people went to him to ask.

Lin Shan and Qian Jizi saw this and were communicating with each other secretly.

"What the hell is the Star Token? Is it a trigger for the Star Palace?"

"Fellow Daoist is well-informed, but you don't have any information on this?"

"Really not! I've never heard of any rumors about the Chenxing Token in Yuxing's secret collection before. This is really unexpected."

Qianjizi seemed unable to believe that there were loopholes in his intelligence work, even though he had collected all the strategies to the utmost.

"This is really strange. When I was about to do this, a new token suddenly appeared, disrupting my rhythm and plan. It seems that I have to reconsider it."

Lin Shan didn't know what his plan was. He was completely in the dark and had no plan at all. He could only take things one step at a time.

I walked up to someone at random and asked politely.

"Fellow Daoist, there are so many of you gathered here, why don't you go in?"

The man told him that he didn't know either.

"It is said that the star formation of the Star Mansion is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is connected to the entire secret realm in the sky. If you want to enter, you have to wait until the end of each month, when the power projection of the Purple Star above your head degrades, and then it will be easier to break in."

He didn't say this; someone who came earlier told him this.

The Prince of Jin noticed the newcomer at this time, walked over and greeted Lin Shan enthusiastically, telling him to be patient.

"The Star Mansion is only open for one day at the end of every month. We have all been waiting for more than half a month. This is the rule summarized by the last person who came here. The other Star Mansions are probably full of people at this moment."

"Take advantage of this opportunity to exchange ideas and pass the time."

"You look unfamiliar, so I guess you are not from this area. Could you please enlighten me?"

Lin Shan turned around to greet him and said he didn't dare.

"My name is Lei Fengzi, nice to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The Crown Prince of Jin saw that he was young but had great magical powers and treated him as a peer. Instead of looking down on him, he intended to make friends with him.

"Hey~ As cultivators, why should we always address each other by the common names of the mortal world? Brother Dao and I hit it off right away, so there's no need to be so formal."

Lin Shan hesitated slightly:

"Then, Mr. Deputy Sect Leader?"

"No need, you can just call me by my Taoist name Jingchen."

Crown Prince Jingchen is the eldest son of the Emperor of Jin. He was originally sent to the world of cultivation by the Emperor for training. However, who would have thought that he would be promoted step by step and become the deputy sect leader!

People of royal origin have a habit of being good at winning over talented people and being good at socializing.

"Brother Lei Fengzi, who is this person next to you?"

"Haha, I'm Qianjizi, nice to meet Prince Jingchen."

Qianjizi exchanged pleasantries briefly, but acted neither cold nor indifferent, with a hint of distance between them, and secretly sent a message to Lin Shan.

"Master Lin, this Prince Jingchen is a sweet-mouthed thief with a sharp tongue. He is best at backstabbing. You must always be careful not to fall into his trap!"

Lin Shan was extremely careful. He knew that Qianjizi was well-informed and must have known some dirt on the other party, so he reminded him specially.

Of course, it was not good to act very cold when they first met. Besides, he had no plan to stay in Jin for a long time and only came occasionally, so he had no psychological burden and it would be fine to chat.

Because Xingfu still has nearly seven or eight days to wait.

Everyone is afraid of losing the opportunity if they leave this period of time, and they have no intention of meditating under the watchful eyes of everyone, so they can only meditate or chat.

Prince Jingchen was very interested in Lin Shan and Qianjizi. He knew that they were not native to Jin State, so he obviously wanted to integrate them here.

As everyone gradually became familiar with each other, Lin Shan inadvertently asked a question that he was quite confused about.

"Brother Jingchen, I heard that you are the deputy leader of the Huangquan Sect of Jin State. I once traveled to Yan State in the south, which is also a demonic country. There is also a Huangquan Sect there. I wonder if it has any relationship with you?"

Prince Jingchen smiled and answered without thinking.

"If there is, it may have been passed down through generations."

"If you say there is none, then it really doesn't matter much." "There are countless Huangquan Sects in the universe. They are the most common sects along with Hehuan Sect, Qingyun Sect, Lingjian Mountain, etc."

"It's just that the ancestors we worship are different, so if you look deeper, we are actually not from the same sect."

Since he had nothing to do, he explained it to Lin Shan in detail.

It involves many concepts of the underworld, most of which are rumors recorded and passed down in ancient books.

"Huangquan is the dividing river between life and death, and is also one of the gateways to the underworld."

“So most of the Huangquan Sects worship the ancestors who are mostly the gods of the underworld.”

"But there are so many gods in the underworld, and it's impossible for them to all be the same. There are the Great Emperor of Dongyue, the Great Emperor of Fengdu, Ksitigarbha, the Ten Kings of Hell, and the Five Ghost Emperors."

"I heard that the Huangquan Sect in Yan State is roughly under the command of the Five Ghost Emperors."

"We, the Huangquan Sect of Jin, are officially under the command of Huang Zhongyong, the King of Hell in the Eighth Palace, and are the advisors of the Second Branch of Gongcao Wenli of Beiqi Zhenfu Division, who are in charge of writing files and archives."

"."

I've spent a lot of time talking and I've said a lot anyway.

Lin Shan also didn't understand who his ancestor was.

But this is not important.

When chatting about the token, Prince Jingchen asked Lin Shan if he had any intention of exchanging it.

Lin Shan naturally couldn't change it, and he refused by saying that he didn't have it.

Zhenren Zhilian and Taoist Anchun behind him remained silent. It was impossible for them to undermine their boss in front of him.

Prince Jingchen asked Qianjizi again, and the latter also shook his head to indicate no.

"Alas, compared to others, I was delayed too long on the way to the secret realm, two or three months late, and my progress is far behind."

Lin Shan asked in surprise:

"I saw Brother Dao acquire so many tokens, and I thought he was far ahead?"

Prince Jingchen smiled bitterly and sat down outside the Xing Mansion.

"How is it possible? Before me, Xu Jizi of Xushen Mountain in Chu State had been collecting tokens for two whole months. Who knows how many tokens he has now?"

"This old guy has been immersed in the late Jindan stage for nearly two hundred years. This time he should be planning for the final sprint to the Yuanying stage. He is one of the biggest stumbling blocks on our road."

"Fortunately, I don't know where he has gone now, and he has not interfered with this Star Mansion. Otherwise, if I had faced him, I really wouldn't be sure that I could take over this place."

Speaking of Xu Jizi, as a well-known strong man in Xushen Mountain, he is also in charge of a lineage of inheritance, and the power he possesses is no weaker than that of him, the deputy leader of Huangquan Sect.

After all, there are many deputy sect leaders, all of whom are running for the sect throne. It is a temporary position given to them, and the resources they can mobilize are limited.

Compared with some veteran peak masters, his financial resources are definitely not as rich as theirs. It is impossible for him to accept all the tokens and he will pick them up to exchange.

Lin Shan seemed to be thinking about something and asked him if there was anyone else who was far ahead besides Xu Jizi.

"Of course. There are many more just from what I know!"

"For example, Yuan Mo Zong's eldest senior brother Zi Chengqian, who is recognized as the best of the younger generation in Jin State, is said to have appeared in the Second Ring two months ago, but now he has disappeared."

"There is also the young master of the Dragon Horse Demon Clan from the Star Devouring Mountains, Little White Dragon, who once led his men to sweep across a star palace and drove out all of our human race!"

"It is said that many Barbarian Jindan-stage cultivators are pouring into Xingfu in large numbers, in groups, and no one knows where they came from!"

"Last month, an eyewitness claimed to have seen with his own eyes a mysterious man with a group of golden-armored guards sweeping across the sea of ​​grass, invincible."

"Even earlier, dating back to three months ago, the young master of the Nine Nether Sect, who was once exterminated by the Chu State, led an endless army of ghosts and also made a stunning appearance."

Speaking of this, Prince Jingchen sighed.

These people may have found what they wanted, or perhaps solved the key secret, or even headed straight for the Star Palace deep in the center!

And I'm still wasting time here competing with others for the Star Mansion.

Every step he took was slow, and it made him feel like his heart was burning with anxiety.

Lin Shan can understand.

If he were asked not to enter the Star Mansion now and go straight to the Star Palace, he would definitely feel unsure.

Because I don’t know if others in the Star Mansion have received any key hints or clues.

What if I miss some inside information and just rush forward blindly, then wouldn't I be fooled by others?
Some things can't be rushed, they have to be taken step by step.

There must be a deep meaning behind Master Yuxing's establishment of this secret realm, and the inheritance will surely unfold step by step. As the saying goes, more haste makes waste.

The wait is long.

Occasionally, monks would come from all directions.

Because in the vast sea of ​​grass, the number of star palaces has become smaller and smaller with each opening, it is possible that the competition is not very intense at the beginning. Those who come in first can enjoy everything first, and those who come in later will have to queue.

As the date approaches.

One of the old men gradually became unable to sit still.

Looking at the carrier pigeon flying back from the horizon, my hands and feet felt cold and my heart sank completely.

Someone nearby recognized him and said in confusion:

"Master Gao You, I remember this was the messenger you sent out a few days ago to summon the Golden Core Master of your Disha Tower. How come he flew back on his own without showing up?"

Master Gao You gnashed his teeth and hummed in anger.

"What else could it be? Most likely, something unexpected happened."

"I left in a hurry this time. The soul lamp is still in the sect's ancestral hall. I didn't have time to split it into two and carry them with me. I don't even know whether they are alive or dead."

"They missed the chance to open the Star Palace. How can they catch up to the Central Star Palace next?"

"Who on earth dares to ruin the plans of our Disha Building?"

No matter how anxious he was, it was useless. The people in Disha Building were gone.

This time he has to fight alone.

In the far north of the sky, an inconspicuous star suddenly flashed in the galaxy. The dazzling starlight illuminated the sky and the earth, and a very thick ray of light came down.

A semi-spherical array light shield appeared above this secret realm, dividing the star power rays into two branches, one to the south and one to the west.

The fork in the west is gone, and the ray in the south goes straight to the Star Palace!
"Choo Choo Choo--"

Starlight splashed on the top of the Star Mansion, ripples spread out in circles, and the whole mansion made strange sounds.

The defensive star array outside was visibly thin with the naked eye, as if most of the star power supply had gone to another place.

Qianjizi looked up and found that the rays in the sky only refracted into two branches, so he secretly conveyed a message to Lin Shan.

"Looking at the situation, there are only two Star Mansions left. The rest may have been taken away first!"

Lin Shan was shocked.

"What, we're so late! Only two seats left out of nine?"
