Elf: How do you cultivate immortality in the elf world?

Chapter 182: Iron Temple.

The conversation between the two was confusing. Yao Yifei knew that they were definitely hiding something from her, but she didn't point it out. Instead, she asked curiously, "Are you so sure that the college entrance examination is dangerous? You know, that's the Asian Alliance college entrance examination?"

Now the Asian Alliance has not disbanded yet, and those who come to participate in the college entrance examination are not just people from Kyushu, but players from all regions within the Asian Alliance.

"This may be the last college entrance examination competition held by the Asian Union. Some people want to give it a perfect ending, while others want it to start a new chapter." Ekaterina said meaningfully.

The Alliance College Entrance Examination Competition is a unique event that only the Asian Alliance holds. Other alliances do not have this kind of competition. This competition is led by the Kyushu region and originated from the ancient imperial examination system in the Kyushu region.

Just like the European Union, it is not so easy for civilians in the European Union to stand out because other alliances implement a recommendation system.

"Since you have made up your mind, shall we set off now?" Ekaterina asked Lu Li, who had already put on his backpack.

Lu Li nodded and said, let’s set off now.

"Are we still going to ride the flying elf?" Lu Li asked.

Ekaterina suggested, "Of course, you can ride Dragonite with me. The Pidgeot you borrowed is too weak and not suitable for long-distance riding."

Lu Li nodded.

After giving the Wei sisters some reminders, the group headed towards the ancient capital.

The city of Ancient Capital is the capital left over from the last era, located in the northern part of Kyushu. Corresponding to it is the Ancient Capital, which is an ancient city left over from the second era, located in the northwest of Kyushu.

In fact, the southern region also has its own ancient city, but it has now turned into a forest.

It took the group nearly three hours to reach the ancient capital, mainly because some cities did not allow flying elves to cross the border, so they had to take a detour.

On Dragonite's back, Ekaterina asked, "Should we go directly to look for the ruins, or rest here for a day first?"

"Just go ahead." Lu Li replied.

"Then let me tell you about the six secret realms in the ancient capital. First of all, there are three secret realms controlled by the official alliance. If we want to enter, we must apply in advance.

Secondly, there are three secret realms in the wild. Although there are official garrisons there, they are not under direct official jurisdiction. We can enter them at will, but those three secret realms are also the most dangerous, because one of them is a large secret realm.

After Lu Li thought for a moment, he decided, "Then let's go to the large secret realm."

"You should know where the ancient ruins in that large secret realm are, right?" Lu Li asked again.

Due to time constraints, they did not have time to investigate where the ruins were.

"There are many relics in that large secret realm, and they are easy to find, but the unknown totems may not be easy to find." Ekaterina reminded.

Hearing this, Lu Li smiled confidently: "It's okay, I have special treasure hunting skills."

"I advise you not to be too optimistic. The Unknown Totem has supernatural attributes and is known as a symbolic Pokémon. It's not scary when alone, but once multiple Unknown Totems appear, they possess incredible abilities.

The most common one is shielding perception, which means that the psychic attribute elves' mental power can't scan them at all. It is precisely for this reason that the traces of unknown totems are so difficult to find."

After listening to Ekaterina's explanation, Lu Li gained a new understanding of the unknown totem.

No wonder unknown totems are so rare in this world. They can block mental detection, which means that as long as the unknown totems are willing, they can even achieve an alternative form of permanent invisibility.

But what’s wrong with the spiritual consciousness that the mental power can’t detect?

Although spiritual consciousness and mental power seem to be related, they are actually two completely different things. Spiritual consciousness involves the power of the soul, but mental power does not.

Spiritual awareness is a more advanced ability than mental power, and it is also one of his most unique plug-ins in this world.

"I hope you can always stay so confident." Ekaterina did not try to persuade her any further.

But she still believed in Lu Li in her heart. After all, ever since she had been with Lu Li, Lu Li had been constantly refreshing her cognition.

Since the large secret realm was in the suburbs of the ancient city, the three of them didn't even enter the city and went straight to the large secret realm.

The name of this large secret realm is named the Ancient Stars Secret Realm. The reason for this name is that there are many ancient cities throughout this secret realm.

There are ruins from the First Age, the Second Age, and even ancient ruins that are older than the First Age.

The three of them entered by scanning their faces. Hmm! They scanned Yao Yifei's face.

As the gym owner, Yao Yifei can freely enter and exit the secret areas that are not under his full jurisdiction in the Kyushu region.

The Ancient Star Secret Realm is a secret realm that is semi-governed by the Alliance, so Yao Yifei can bring people in and out at will.

The official even thoughtfully prepared a map for Yao Yifei, a map of ancient ruins.

This large secret realm does not have any particularly precious elves (quasi-gods), so it is not managed strictly.

Those who enter the secret realm are generally scholars and ancient culture enthusiasts. Some people also enter the secret realm of ancient stars in order to subdue elves.

What is available in the Ancient Stars Secret Realm can also be found in other medium-sized secret realms, but the Ancient Stars Secret Realm has champion-level elves, and king-level elves are also very common.

This greatly increases the danger of this secret realm. There is really no need to come to a large secret realm if the elves can be subdued in a medium-sized secret realm.

Yao Yifei took out his phone and opened an official Alliance app, which was called Alliance Secret Realm.

Yao Yifei opened the software, took a look and said, "There are only about 300 people in the entire secret realm right now. There is not a single lone ranger among them. They are all organized research teams.

Should we join a research group directly? If we have the help of those research groups, our chances of finding the unknown totem should be greater."

There was actually nothing wrong with what Yao Yifei said. After all, none of the three of them were serious researchers of ancient culture, and they couldn't even be called enthusiasts.

It is indeed much more convenient to have a professional lead the way.

"No, we're not here for archaeology." Lu Li shook his head and refused.

"You can check where the nearest ruins are. It would be best if they are the ruins of an ancient tomb or ancient temple." Lu Li said.

According to the settings in anime or games, ancient totems usually appear in tombs or temples. Lu Li decided to start with these two types of relics.

Yao Yifei nodded. All the ancient ruins explored by the alliance will be listed here, and there will even be some introductions.

This is the benefit of having the alliance as your backing. If it was Yao Yifei who wanted to enter the secret realm deep in the Qingyun Mountains to look for something, Yao Yifei, as the gym owner, would not even need to buy information about the secret realm. The information known by the alliance is definitely more than that known by those individual forces.

"found it!"

Yao Yifei, holding a mobile phone, quickly locked onto the target.

"The closest one to us is an ancient temple, which seems to be dedicated to the legendary God of Steel." "God of Steel?" Lu Li looked at Yao Yifei in confusion.

Yao Yifei, who thought Lu Li didn't know the information about these beasts, explained, "The full name of the God of Steel is Melmetal, a pure steel-attributed beast. Its counterpart is the Giant God of Steel."

Land from:"……"

Lu Li was speechless.

Melmetal is just a mythical beast in the anime setting, but is classified as a divine beast in this world.

As for the other giant steel god, Lu Li also roughly guessed that it was probably Regischiru, one of the three pillars of gods.

Then let’s go there and take a look first.

Lu Li was still a little curious about Melmetal.

If Lu Li wasn't in a hurry to find the unknown totem, he would even want to explore the temple carefully.

The temple in the elf world is not just a temple, but a huge palace, even a bit similar to the legendary pyramid. There is actually not much difference between the temple and the tomb in this world.

Catherine had no objection to this at all, and the group headed straight for the Iron Temple.

The Iron Temple was located deep in a forest. Lu Li, riding on Dragonite's back, closed his eyes and looked at the environment below.

The Temple of the God of Steel is in the forest, and the surrounding grass and ground energies are very abundant. Which location would be the smartest to choose?

Lu Li complained in his heart about this outrageous setting.

Soon everyone arrived in front of the Iron Temple, a huge ancient temple ruins located deep in the forest. It seemed like an isolated island in the long river of time, giving people a sense of loneliness just by looking at it.

Now only broken walls and ruins remain of this ancient temple, bearing witness to the ruthless passage of time. It is worth mentioning that the outer walls of the temple are made of huge and rough stones. Each stone is engraved with traces of time and covered with moss and vines.

"There's no trace of steel in the Iron Temple?" Lu Li complained.

"This relic once stored a large amount of ancient metal membranes. Later, explorers discovered this place. The metal membranes in this relic are very special, so..."

Yao Yifei didn't even need to explain what happened next, Lu Li had already guessed where the metal films were going.

"I've heard of this. At that time, it was believed that the number of metal membranes in this place was greater than that of all the metal membranes in the world combined. Metal models were used as ponds, rivers, and seas. It's hard to imagine how many metal membranes there were in this place at that time." Ekaterina also echoed.

Yao Yifei denied it expressionlessly, "Fake news! Those are just liquid metals, not metal films."

Ekaterina nodded and said, "Isn't this normal? With the productivity of ancient times, how could they have produced so many metal films?"

"It is said that there were quite a few steel gems here." Ekaterina asked again.

"This news is true, but it has all been taken away by someone." Yao Yifei replied.

None of the three people present mentioned finding any bargains. After all, this place had been thoroughly plundered, and their mental power just couldn't scan the unknown totem, not anything else.

After wave after wave of psychic-type trainers explored, the valuables in this temple had long been looted.

Lu Li did not speak, but gently stroked the thick stone wall. The stone wall had collapsed in some places, revealing the complex internal structure and the once gorgeous murals. Although the colors had long faded, the pictures depicting mythological stories and sacrificial scenes could still be vaguely recognized.

After entering the temple, there is a long corridor with tall metal pillars on both sides. Some of these pillars are still standing, while others are lying on the ground, as if telling stories of the past.

"There is still something related to steel." Lu Li concluded.

Neither Ekaterina nor Yao Yifei responded. Who would be so clever as to go all the way into the secret realm to carry away these steel pillars? Space backpacks have limited space.

The location of the main hall is obvious. There is a huge altar there. Although it is now just a ruin, the splendor of the temple can still be seen from the altar.

"So how do we find the unknown totem? If there really is an unknown totem, people would have spread the news long ago." Yao Yifei asked.

Mr. Lu did not say anything, but calmly opened his spiritual sense.

The divine consciousness continued to expand, and soon the entire temple was covered by the divine consciousness.

The three-dimensional model of the temple condensed in Lu Li's mind, and Lu Li quietly explored every part of the temple.

bad news.

There is no unknown totem in this relic, nor is there any trace of the existence of an unknown totem.

good news.

He found something better than the Unknown Totem.

Lu Li glanced at Ekaterina and Yao Yifei beside him calmly.

"Do you know about this so-called God of Steel?" Lu Li asked curiously.

Ekaterina nodded. "The European Union has legends about Melmetal. Legends say he's tall and possesses unrivaled physical attack and defense, but most of the stories about him are rather brutal."

"Then do you know how Melmetal came about?" Lu Li asked again.

Ekaterina asked in confusion, "Isn't it born from the law?"

In this world, people have long had a certain understanding of the origins of mythical beasts.

They are the embodiment of the laws of the world. They will never die and will only return to the laws.

The laws cannot be destroyed unless the world is destroyed, but even if the world is destroyed, as long as the world's base is still there, the gods can still reshape the world.

Hearing this, Lu Li smiled meaningfully.

The people in this world don't seem to know that Melmetal evolved from Melta. It's also possible that this knowledge is hidden too deeply and the Alliance has not discovered it yet, or it has been discovered but Ekaterina and the others don't know it.

But no matter which one it is, it won't prevent him from making a big profit next.

Lu Li squinted his eyes and looked at the secret rooms in the basement of the temple.

Most of the temple's secret rooms have been explored, and all valuables have been taken away, leaving only some metal parts.

For example, various gears, various nuts, and even various tools, such as hammers, wrenches and the like.

The craftsmanship of these things is not very good, and those who can enter this secret realm look down on them, so they are left in this secret realm.
