Chapter 147 The Old Man

Finally, when the sun rose, Huan Yin in the light curtain understood the last material in his hand. He took the classics transformed from the material and read them carefully, then stood up.

Huan Yin did not miss any of the one million materials and correctly identified them all.

Meng Li stared blankly at Huan Yin in the sky curtain, his mind was blank at the moment. He thought that his plan was perfect, but it was completely shattered in front of Huan Yin's absolute strength.

"I actually spent 1.5 million spirit stones to buy a copy of "Nong Yan Jing" for a small casual cultivator, haha... ha." Meng Li's voice was very low, but the sadness and regret in it were extremely strong.

At this moment, there was silence outside the Nine-Layered Pagoda, and no one made a sound because Huan Yin had finished identifying. These people either had already understood and had already deeply bowed down in the direction of the Nine-Layered Pagoda and the sky curtain where Huan Yin was, or they were still immersed in their understanding.

Huan Yin finally looked at the one million books in front of him with satisfaction, as if recalling his efforts for almost a whole day, then he nodded and turned to go out.

When Huan Yin appeared outside the gate of the Nine-Layered Pagoda, whether it was the cultivators who had completed their enlightenment or those who were still in the process of enlightenment, they all put away their minds and looked at Huan Yin.

"Master Huan, I will never forget your kindness in teaching me!" A uniform voice came from the endless sea of ​​people outside the Nine-Layered Pagoda.

…

The competition between Huan Yin and Meng Li ended. He won the competition with an absolute advantage, won the "Nong Yan Jing", and won the respect of many Yijianfeng weapon cultivators. From that day on, no one called Huan Yin "little cultivator" anymore. Those with lower seniority would call him "master", and even those with higher seniority would still call Huan Yin "fellow cultivator".

Now it is only more than half a year away from the weapon master selection test of Yijian Peak, but fortunately, Huan Yin has Zhao Wo to teach him experience, the Nine-Layered Pagoda provides him with enough classics to read, the top-grade illusion furnace for him to practice, and the "Nong Yan Jing" and "Wuliang Sword". Therefore, Huan Yin is now ready. As long as he works hard enough, he may really pass the weapon master selection test.

Huan Yin is naturally hard enough. His life state of sleeping less than an hour a day has never changed. He even often forgets the time in the illusion furnace because of sword casting and does not sleep for several days.

However, in addition to strengthening his own practice, Huan Yin has not forgotten the loose cultivator alliance. For him, the loose cultivator alliance is his foundation in Yijian Peak and his belonging, so he sincerely hopes that every loose cultivator can pass the weapon master selection test.

Huan Yin will tell the loose cultivators about his understanding of sword casting, especially his understanding of identifying materials, in the valley where Zhao Wo teaches every day. Not only that, he also did his best to help every casual cultivator to break into the Nine-Layer Pagoda of Yijian Peak, so that they could see the required classics as they wished.

Huanyin's knowledge of talents was profound, and he already had some understanding of the Nine-Layer Pagoda. With his help, all the casual cultivators really broke into the Nine-Layer Pagoda in half a year. Among them, the highest number of floors had reached the fourth floor, and the lowest had entered the first floor. As a result, the Nine-Layer Pagoda of Yijian Peak had a phenomenon that had never appeared before, that is, there were often hundreds of casual cultivators from outside who came in and out of the tower at the same time.

In such a busy life, time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, there was only more than a month left before the weapon master selection test.

On this day, Huanyin walked into the seventh floor of the Nine-Layer Pagoda as usual, but he did not pick up any classics here, but walked straight to the light curtain of this floor. Although Huanyin could foresee that the difficulty of the eighth floor would be unprecedented, he still decided to try it. He wanted to know where his current limit was, and he wanted to see it from a high place.

Throughout the ages, there have been only nine weapon cultivators who have passed the eighth level of the Nine-Layered Pagoda, and it is said that four of them have died, so there are actually only five people who can really reach the eighth level without consuming spirit stones. Among these five people, except Lan Yanzi who is a weapon immortal, the others are all the old generation of weapon masters of Yijian Peak, and they are the ancestors and foundation of Yijian Peak's sword-making. Therefore, those who can pass this level of assessment can no longer be described as "masters", they are at least worthy of the term "ancestors".

The reason why only people like "ancestors" can pass the eighth level of the Nine-Layered Pagoda is that there are a total of 5 million materials in this level of test, and in order to pass, at least 4 million materials need to be identified. Not only that, the materials on this level are all rare, and even many of them, like the bamboo king flower, have never been recorded in any classics.

This time, Huan Yin stayed in the Nine-Layered Pagoda for three full days.

During these three days, there were constantly cultivators who got the news and rushed to the Nine-Layered Pagoda. In the end, even as long as they could see the light curtain where Huan Yin was from a distance, there would be people staying there.

Huan Yin is now a master in Yijian Peak, and he is even more famous, so his every move will attract the attention of many people. And this time, Huan Yin challenged the eighth floor of the Nine-Layered Pagoda, which is equivalent to challenging the ancestors of Yijian Peak, so these cultivators who came here all want to see what kind of results Huan Yin, who has perfectly passed the seventh floor of the Nine-Layered Pagoda, can give in the eighth floor.

Not only that, the difficulty of the eighth floor of the Nine-Layered Pagoda is well known, so everyone knows that Huan Yin will definitely use the way of enlightenment repeatedly in the eighth floor, and will continue in this state for a long time. This is a rare opportunity for them to gain enlightenment.

Finally, three days later, Huan Yin reached his limit and left the Nine-Storey Pagoda. Huan Yin passed, but this time, he failed to do it perfectly.

Five million kinds of materials are really too many. Huan Yin can recognize less than two million kinds without relying on Wucai, so for him, there are still more than three million kinds of materials that need to rely on Wucai to distinguish them. of.

However, Huan Yin's method of understanding materials has not reached the state of being able to understand without materials. If he encounters extremely rare and difficult-to-understand materials, he still cannot distinguish them. In the eighth floor, there are a lot of such materials. Not only that, Wu Cai consumes a monk's energy far more than relying on memory to identify the material. Even if Huan Yin's character is of the highest quality, he still can't bear the huge amount of material he needs to comprehend. Huan Yin was able to persist in the assessment for three whole days without sleep, and finally passed the assessment, which is already very good.

Through this time breaking into the tower, Huan Yin realized the importance of accumulation. Although the realm of enlightenment is profound and unpredictable, it requires a lot of energy and time from those who understand it, and a monk's energy is ultimately limited. Therefore, accumulation is the foundation of knowledge, and enlightenment can only be the sublimation after enough accumulation.

Since Huan Yin broke into the eighth floor of the nine-story pagoda, he would occasionally go to the eighth floor to take a look. This level is completely different from the previous seven levels. This floor is not big, about the same size as the main hall of Jiange, and there is not even a bookshelf on this floor. There are only densely packed small words floating on the surrounding walls and in the air. If you look carefully at these small characters, you will find that they are all the names of classic books. If you want to read a book, you only need to think a little, and the book will fall into your hands.

The first two times Huan Yin came to the eighth floor of the Nine-Storied Pagoda, there was no one else here. However, there is no one here, which should be normal. After all, there are only five people except Huan Yin who can go up here. These five people are probably elders of Yijian Peak. How can such a person be so easy to meet?

Today is the third time Huan Yin has come to the eighth floor of the nine-story pagoda. As soon as he entered, he saw a childlike old man with white hair and beard sitting cross-legged on the ground, his eyes slightly closed, apparently meditating. This old man has a peaceful face and an indescribable temperament that makes people feel close to him at first sight.

Huan Yin knew that this old man must be one of the five sword-making ancestors of Yijian Peak, so he did not dare to disturb him at all. Instead, he bowed to the old man respectfully, and then turned around to find what he wanted. Browsing through the classics.

However, Huan Yin didn't know what was going on. He always completely forgot about the outside world when holding classics, but today he couldn't calm down and read a book. He would always look at the cross-legged old man unconsciously, as if the closeness exuded by the old man made Huan Yin irresistible.

Later, the inexplicable feeling in Huan Yin's heart became stronger and stronger, and he began to have various speculations about the old man in his heart. He even found that the old man seemed a little strange. Because the eighth floor of the Nine-Storied Pagoda is not a place rich in spiritual energy. People who come here want to increase their knowledge. How can anyone come here to meditate and practice?

Huan Yin suddenly had a ridiculous idea in his mind, that is, this old man came here specifically to wait for him. Finally, Huan Yin couldn't help but walked towards the old man, and then he respectfully bowed to the old man: "My dear Huan Yin, I have met my senior."

When the old man heard Huan Yin salute him, he opened his slightly closed eyes and nodded to Huan Yin with a kind face: "Young talent, not bad."

The old man's voice had a strange rhythm and a sonorous tone, which made his attractive temperament become even stronger. Huan Yin looked at the old man for a long time, and finally realized his gaffe, and asked the old man: "Senior, I'm sorry for the offence, but why are you here?"

The old man took a deep look at Huan Yin and laughed loudly: "It's been a long time since I've been here, so I came to feel the breath of this book and keep it company with my old friends, so that they won't feel lonely because they haven't been turned over all year round."

Welcome to the third update!
