Chapter 88 Climbing the Tower (1)

Following Wu Xiuqian into the spiral tower, there is a world of its own in the tower. From the outside, you can only see a tower of a few feet, but inside is a large hall with a radius of a hundred feet, and there are even ferocious monsters roaring in the hall. There is also a brazier in the temple, with flames burning high.

Wu Xiuqian said: "Sir, don't mind, these are the guardian monsters of the Spiral Tower. According to the rules of our Great Sun Sect, there are two ways to enter the Spiral Flame. The first way is for the entrant to break through the monsters on their own. If you are blocked by beasts, you can reach the top of the tower and meet the Lord. If you think you are no match, you can also choose the second option and let me climb the tower alive first."

"Oh?" Tang Jie became interested: "What would happen if I choose the first method?"

Wu Xiuqian replied: "Although the spiral flame seems to reach the sky, there are actually only thirteen floors. Except for the thirteenth floor which is the residence of the sect leader, the twelve floors below are where monsters gather and are used for training by the disciples of the humble sect. , can only be used by people below the Zi Mansion. Those who choose to attack by force will receive corresponding rewards at each fixed level. However, each disciple only has one chance to break through the level in his life. No matter which level he breaks through, he will not be able to come back again."

"So that's it. So this kind of breakthrough is actually a disguised reward for the disciples." Tang Jie said.

"Exactly." Wu Xiuqian replied: "Although sir is not a disciple of our Great Sun Sect, he is a guest from afar, and he is here to make some contribution to the future of mankind. Therefore, the sect leader has specially allowed you to break into the tower, and you will receive all the rewards. It depends on the conditions of the disciples. Of course, if you disdain small prizes, I can also take you directly to the top of the tower."

After hearing this, Tang Jie understood what Wu Xiuqian meant.

This is actually another test of Tang Jie's strength by the Great Sun Sect.

Killing the thousand-year-old tree spirit with one strike with the spirit ring body is extremely powerful, and it also arouses Yuan Tianzhong's strong interest.

He wanted to see what Tang Jie's strength was, but he didn't want Tang Jie to think that he was making things difficult for him, so he asked Wu Xiuqian to lead Tang Jie into the tower and told him about two methods. If Tang Jie voluntarily chose the first option, it would naturally not be the Great Sun Sect that would embarrass its guests.

As expected, Tang Jie became interested when he heard this: "Is the prize very precious?"

Wu Xiu smiled dryly and said: "It can't be said to be precious. The value of each level of prize is equivalent to a high-grade magic weapon, and it is doubled for each level."

His tone was humble yet proud.

A high-grade magic weapon may or may not be expensive, but it will always cost two to three hundred thousand spiritual coins. Doubling with each level, the reward on the twelfth level must be worth at least two to three million, which can already buy a good low-grade sacred treasure.

the most important is,

Judging from the tone of this martial arts cultivator, there is a reward for each level. If all twelve levels are passed, the total value obtained should be tens of millions.

Although it is said that climbing the tower can only be challenged once in a lifetime, and the reward is definitely too low, it is still a big deal.

There are only two explanations for why the Great Sun Sect can give such a reward. One is that they are too rich, and the other is that it is difficult to pass this test.

Tang Jie thought for a while and asked Wu Xiuqian: "I wonder which level Wu Lieshou has broken through."

Wu Xiuqian smiled and replied: "I am not talented and incompetent. I only made it through the eleventh level. I couldn't pass the last level."

Didn't even the leader-level Tianxin Peak fail to break through the twelfth floor?

Tang Jie finally understood the difficulty of this spiral tower. At the same time, I also understood why Yuan Tianzhong was so generous.

Although this spiral flame is said to be challengeable by everyone from Zifu to below, its difficulty means that low-level monks cannot come here to waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They must at least advance to the level of inner demon, or even soul transformation before they can start challenging it. , to strive to rise to higher levels and obtain more prizes.

The eleventh level that Wu Xiu worked on was also completed after he entered the Soul Transformation. If it were the inner demon realm, he would not even be able to pass the eleventh level.

The reason why Yuan Tianzhong is so generous is because Tang Jie is only at the spiritual ring stage. No matter how strong he is, he cannot be stronger than Wu Xiuqian. Because of this, he was happy and generous, allowing Tang Jie to challenge him once, so that he could understand the details of Tang Jie's methods. Since you have found out the other person's background, you don't want to offend him, but do it as a favor.

Tang Jie understood what the leader of the Great Sun was thinking, thought for a moment and said, "It sounds interesting. Tang is very interested in giving it a try. By the way, if I can't get through, I can call for help and ask sir to take me away, right?"

Wu Xiuqian smiled and said: "That's natural. If sir, you can't get through, you don't have to force yourself. All you have to do is shout my name and they will come out to rescue you."

Although these words were well-intentioned, they also undermined Tang Jie's fighting spirit and prevented him from working too hard. The Dairi Sect just wants to find out the bottom, and just use whatever means are available. There is no need for bloody battles or anything like that, which is not good for anyone.

Tang Jie asked again: "Can I kill these monsters if I break through the barrier?"

Wu Xiuqian replied: "Of course they have to be killed. Don't be polite, Mr. Tang. We caught all the demons and ghosts in the tower from outside and placed them here to test our disciples. Once you kill them, we can catch them again."

Tang Jie added: "Then if I kill the demon beast and get the demon pill..."

"It also belongs to sir." Wu Xiuqian didn't expect Tang Jie to ask such a detailed question, so he smiled and said: "Sir, if you want to pass the level, just go ahead. All the gains along the way belong to you. Every time you pass a level, you can get a layer of prizes. If you don't like the prizes, , Sir, you can also request for replacement. However, the value of the replaced prize can only be lower than, but not higher than, the original prize."

"I see, I understand. If that's the case, then I'll break into this spiral flame."

Wu Xiuqian smiled and cupped his hands: "In that case, sir, please. I will take the first step."

As he spoke, he walked towards the central brazier, stepped into the fire, and the figure flickered before disappearing.

It turns out that the central brazier is a staircase, but I don’t know how to enter it.

Tang Jie wanted to try it, but he saw that the restrictions on the monsters in the palace had been released, and they stood up one by one, with large amounts of monster aura bursting out from their bodies. The leader was a low-grade monster that took the form of a monster, followed by five intelligent monsters.

Such a lineup would give even ordinary spiritual ring cultivators a headache, but for Tang Jie, it seemed too simple.

He raised his fingers at the transformed monster and said, "Come on."

A humane smile appeared on the monster's face, and with a roar, all the beasts rushed towards Tang Jie...

After a moment, the battle was over.

Tang Jie glanced at the corpses around him and said with a smile: "But we happen to be short of resources, so they come to us."

As he spoke, Tang Jie had cut open the demon corpses, peeled off the skin, pulled out the bones, dug out the elixirs, and sucked out the marrow. Tang Jie did not miss any parts that were useful to him and took them all.

The most valuable purple beard is the demon elixir. Tang Jie was extremely careful when killing and preserved the integrity of the demon elixir as much as possible. This bunch of monsters got several demon elixirs.

Tang Jie squeezed the demon pills hard and broke them. The elixir liquid spurted out, but did not scatter randomly. Instead, it fell on Tang Jie's face and hands one after another. Then, as if it was spiritual, it penetrated into Tang Jie's body, evenly smearing Tang Jie's whole body, followed by a white The fog rose, but Tang Jie used a water movement technique, which was combined with the alchemy liquid and entered through the pores on his body. At the same time, Tang Jie was already turning away from the scriptures, absorbing the nutrients in the demon pill.

This is Li Jing's quick cultivation method. After cultivating a perfect body, Tang Jie has no obstacles in casting spells. He can use spells like purification and cleansing techniques on himself at will, and supplemented with elixirs, he can Achieve the effect of bathing. Then just run the Li Jing to absorb it, but it is no longer as complicated as boiling water in a wooden barrel in the past. When you reach a high level of cultivation, you can even use a lake as a bathtub, which is a bit ridiculous.

At this moment, under the Li Jing movement, Tang Jie had fully absorbed the effectiveness of the demon elixir. Because of his perfect body, both physical cultivation, blood energy and spiritual energy cultivation have increased significantly, but the growth rate is extremely limited.

Of course Tang Jie was not in a hurry, after all, this was just the beginning.

He didn't rest the next moment and stepped directly into the brazier. The fire in the brazier flashed and sent Tang Jie to the upper level.

"It turns out it's the fire escape technique." Tang Jie has already seen the secret, but it is extremely rare to be able to use the fire escape technique so skillfully. At least Tang Jie cannot use a brazier to use the fire escape technique in a formation. reflected in form.

It can be seen that there are many capable people in the world, and there is always something worth learning.

Going up to the second floor, Tang Jie first saw a case.

There is a long sword on the case. As Wu Xiuqian said, it is a top-grade magic weapon.

But how could Tang Jie like this kind of thing? He said in a long voice: "As per the rules, please change the prize."

"I wonder what prize you need."

A voice floated in the air.

"It would be better if there are original and unrefined medicinal herbs that can improve your cultivation level." Tang Jie was not polite.

"Hold on."

After a while, he saw a flash of fire in the pavilion, and some herbs appeared in front of Tang Jie's eyes, divided according to quantity.

"You can pick one."

Tang Jie looked at it, pointed to one of them and said, "Let's take this three-leaf berry."

The three-leaf berry is a spiritual plant that is rich in spirituality and is often used to make elixirs for improving cultivation. Because it likes dry and hot places, it is difficult to cultivate, so it is valuable in the Qixia world. However, due to the special environment of the Yanyang Realm, they are relatively common and of low value, so among this bunch of herbs, the quantity is also the most abundant.

The Dainichi Sect uses price as the supply standard, but Tang Jie uses the total amount of spiritual energy as the selection standard.

In this way, this large pile of three-leaf berries became the most suitable choice for him.

The spiral tower has thirteen floors.

The blazing flames burned, reflecting the image of Tang Jie.

Yuan Tianzhong sat in front of the flame, looked at Tang Jie's choice, and said: "It seems that he did not lie. He is indeed not from my Yanyang Realm, otherwise he would not have chosen the three-leaf berry."

The martial arts cultivator next to him said: "What the master said is that although the three-leaf berries provide the strongest spirituality, the effect will become worse and worse with large amounts of use. If this person is a cultivator of my Yanyang Realm and has cultivated to the spiritual ring stage , then a large amount of trifoliate berries should have been used long ago. Judging from the reduced potency, it is obviously not as good as other drugs."

Then another voice came: "I have never seen this method of directly absorbing the power of demon pills and spiritual plants, so I don't know how effective it is."

Similar to Li Jing, through various means to absorb the power of the Spirit Planting Demon Pill and strengthen his own skills, this world may not be gone. The key is how efficiently the medicine is used. If 10% of the medicinal power can only be absorbed by 10% or 20%, then it’s okay not to learn this method.

If it were the other way around, even if it could absorb 80% of the medicinal power, it would be a god-level immortal method.

It's a pity that everyone on this tower can see Tang Jie absorbing the medicinal power, but in the end they can't see the effect of the medicinal power.
