Chapter 133: Entering the Tower

About half an hour had passed, and when Huan Yin stopped, he had already walked through the second floor of the Nine-Layered Pagoda. Although the second floor was much larger than the first floor, and there were more classics in it, Huan Yin still did not find any books he had not read.

Huan Yin was almost going crazy. He spent a full nine hundred spirit stones, but he gained nothing. Although he now had a lot of spirit stones, he was a disciple who came out of the poor Sword Pavilion after all. How could he not cherish the spirit stones?

In Huan Yin's heart, he was facing an unprecedented challenge. He had to achieve the title of weapon master before the age of fifteen, which was something that even the ancestor Lan Yanzi of Yijianfeng could not do. Therefore, he always felt that the knowledge he had now was far from enough to pass the weapon master selection test, and his desire for knowledge was extremely strong. He wished he could read all the books in the world, so that he would feel a little relieved. It was because of this that Huan Yin always felt that he had read too few classics.

However, he had no idea that the number of classics he had read in Wuliangmen was actually very large. Moreover, Huan Yin had a high level of comprehension since childhood, and was extremely intelligent, and he almost had the ability to remember everything he saw, so everything he read was kept in his mind. This is why Huan Yin was able to even surpass the old generation of weapon masters like Zhao Wo in identifying materials.

Therefore, it was normal for Huan Yin to not find the classics he wanted in the first two floors of the Nine-Layered Pagoda, but he did not realize it at all.

Huan Yin once again took out 1,200 spirit stones and walked towards the light curtain of the second floor. He wanted to go to the third floor to take a look. He had already spent a full 900 spirit stones, and he didn't want to waste it.

At this moment, two monks from Yijian Peak followed Huan Yin from the first floor of the Nine-Layered Pagoda to the second floor. They saw Huan Yin "wandering" around the first floor, and then took out spirit stones to the current second floor. But before they could react, Huan Yin actually took out more spirit stones and walked towards the light curtain of the third floor. And just now they clearly saw that this "foreign participant" was just "wandering" around the second floor.

The two cultivators looked at Huan Yin, shook their heads constantly, and said something from time to time, obviously feeling extremely contemptuous of Huan Yin's behavior.

Huan Yin naturally didn't care what the people around him thought of him. Half an hour later, he was standing in front of the light curtain on the third floor of the Nine-Layered Pagoda again. This time, he still had nothing to gain on the third floor.

Huan Yin felt that he seemed to have fallen into a trap. The spirit stones he had invested before did not bring him any gains. If he did not continue to pay spirit stones to enter the next floor, then today he really became a "wealth-spending boy" and ran to the Nine-Layered Pagoda to add bricks and tiles to Yijian Peak.

However, if he still wanted to go to the upper level to take a look, then he would have to pay an even more astonishing amount of spirit stones. This amount of spirit stones, even now, he had to feel a little hesitant. Especially when he thought that he might still get nothing on the next level, his mood became more and more entangled.

"I didn't expect that the Nine-Storied Pagoda of the largest sect in Yangzhou would be so deceiving! I was completely tricked by Yijianfeng today! Are we, the outsiders, really so easy to bully?" Huan Yin was very depressed, but he couldn't say anything.

Finally, the Yijianfeng disciples around him saw Huan Yin, the "outsider participating in the test", blushing in front of the light curtain on the third floor, hesitating for a long time, and finally snorted and turned away. The Yijianfeng disciples around him were all disdainful when they saw Huan Yin leaving, thinking that this outsider wanted to read books on the upper floor but couldn't take out the spirit stones, so why was he secretly competing in front of the light curtain?

That afternoon, Huan Yin came to the small courtyard where Zhao Wo lived with an extremely unhappy mood. When Zhao Wo led Huan Yin into the door, he saw that he looked depressed and asked, "Fellow cultivator Huan, what's wrong with you? Have you encountered any problems?"

Huan Yin was still a child, and when he got angry, he still had a bit of childish temperament. He said to Zhao Wo angrily: "Your Nine-Layered Pagoda in Yijian Peak is really a rip-off, especially for casual cultivators like us. It's a rip-off."

Next, Huan Yin recounted to Zhao Wo what happened to him when he went to the Nine-Layered Pagoda today. Even though Zhao Wo has lived for more than seventy years, he couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing Huan Yin's words.

Finally, when Huan Yin's face became more depressed and Zhao Wo had almost finished laughing, he said: "Fellow cultivator Huan, do you know why this Nine-Layered Pagoda is set up with nine layers?"

Huan Yin shook his head and said: "I would like to hear the details."

Zhao Wo said: "In my Yijian Peak's sword-making system, we have divided the grades of the swords into nine grades. Generally speaking, ordinary weapon masters can forge one to three grades of immortal swords. If they are experienced, they can also forge four-grade immortal swords. If a weapon master has touched the threshold of the realm of weapon master, he can even forge a five-grade immortal sword!"

"And if it is true When entering the realm of weapon master, the swords made are mostly of grade six or seven. A powerful weapon master, if he encounters good sword-making materials, can occasionally forge an eighth-grade immortal sword! As for the ninth-grade immortal sword, only the ancestor Lan Yanzi, who is worthy of the title of weapon immortal, can forge it in my Yijian Peak. "

"As the weapon master selection test of my Yijian Peak is recognized by more and more fellow practitioners in Jiuzhou, our immortal sword grade classification is also increasingly accepted by fellow practitioners."

"So, the reason why the Nine-Layered Pagoda is divided into nine layers is to imitate the immortal sword grade classification of your sect?" Huan Yin took over Zhao Wo's words and said.

Zhao Wei nodded: "Yes, in fact, the number of classics in the nine-story pagoda will increase with each level, and the grade of the classics will be higher, and the knowledge recorded will be deeper. According to my knowledge, all of them have been I have almost finished reading the books on the first four floors of the nine-story pagoda. In my opinion, fellow practitioner Huan may have to go to the sixth floor before he can find a suitable book to read. "

Huan Yin nodded and said, "That's it, that's it."

However, he immediately thought of something, with a surprised look on his face: "Then according to what Senior Zhao meant, doesn't it mean that I have to pay spirit stones layer by layer every time, and I can't read the classics until I reach the sixth layer? ? Then how much spiritual stones do I have to pay for each hour of visit?"

Zhao We laughed and said, "Didn't Ji Cangqiong tell you that in addition to paying spiritual stones, you can also enter the nine-story tower by challenging the assessment on each floor?"

Huan Yin was stunned for a moment and then said: "By the way, he said that there is an assessment on each floor. As long as you pass it, you can enter and exit the nine-story tower at will."

Zhao Yi nodded: "That's it. With your knowledge, why do you still have to pay spiritual stones to enter the tower?"

Huan Yin was surprised: "Senior Zhao, what is the assessment in the Nine-Storied Pagoda?"

"The assessment in the Nine-Storied Pagoda is the method of knowing materials that you are best at. Knowing materials is the foundation of our generation's weapon cultivation, and it is also the most closely related to the classics. Therefore, my Yijian Peak weapon cultivating ancestors are in Chengta. At that time, the rules were established. The trials in the Nine-Storied Tower are to test the teaching knowledge. "

"Zhao is not talented, and he has not passed the assessment on the fifth level yet. But in my opinion, Fellow Practitioner Huan, you should have no problem passing the assessment on the first six levels. The assessment in the nine-story pagoda can be carried out at any time. Just put your hand on the light curtain where you put the spirit stone and send out your spiritual thoughts. Fellow practitioner Huan, why don’t you try it?”

…

The next day, Huan Yin came to the nine-story pagoda again. Today, he came to challenge. He didn't want to take out another spiritual stone. He wanted to get back all the ones from yesterday.

Huan Yin quickly walked to the light curtain on the first floor of the Nine-Storied Pagoda, then he stretched out his left hand and pressed against the light curtain.

At this moment, no one cares about Huan Yin's actions at all, because there are too many people passing through the first floor of the Nine-Storied Pagoda, and too many people come to challenge every day. No one will challenge the people on the first floor of the Nine-Storied Pagoda. Take it seriously.

Talking about Huan Yin, after he pressed his hand on the light curtain, he sent out a spiritual thought to challenge the light curtain, and then a suction force that was exactly the same as yesterday hit him, and he was immediately pulled into the light curtain. .

This time, when Huan Yin reappeared, he was not in an attic full of bookshelves like yesterday, but in a dark void.

After Huan Yin opened his eyes, he waited for a while, and suddenly something like starlight flashed out of the endless darkness from a distance, and at the same time, a voice without any emotion also sounded in his head:

"The test on the first floor of the nine-story pagoda requires three thousand casting materials. If you recognize three hundred, you will be considered passed. The assessment begins!"

As soon as the voice fell, the starlight that was still shining in the distance suddenly flew towards Huan Yin. Soon, the things in the starlight were displayed in front of Huan Yin's eyes - they were materials for making swords.

After these materials flew to a place three feet in front of Huan Yin, they all stopped in the air one after another. In just a few seconds, Huan Yin had a large piece of various sword-making materials in front of his eyes, no more, no less, exactly three thousand.

Huan Yin stretched out his hand and the first item from the bottom row of all the materials flew into his hand. He held this dark thing and smiled bitterly: "Is this the test for the first level?"

Then, his mind conveyed to the void: "Fine iron is produced all over the land of Kyushu and is extremely common. It is relatively hard in nature and has poor toughness. It is the most basic sword-making material."

The thing in Huan Yin's hand was clearly the material he had learned to use from Duan Yun before he had cultivated, fine iron. This kind of thing is so common that it is not difficult for Huan Yin at all.

After Huan Yin's spiritual thoughts came out, the fine iron in his hand suddenly changed and turned into a blue book with a blue cover. There were two neat small words on the cover - fine iron.

Then Huan Yin stretched out his hand and sent it away, and the classic book transformed in Huan Yin's hand flew back to the place where the fine iron was originally floating, and settled there again.
