Bold Witch, Don’T Hurt My Husband

Chapter 23: Secret Magic Tower

Inside the Demon Sect's secret realm, many disciples gathered on the sect's square, creating a lively scene.

"This time, Senior Brother Zhao Hao will definitely sweep away the geniuses of other sects!"

"Nonsense, Junior Sister Tong Qianrou is just as outstanding. She might also shine brightly!"

For some reason, the group of people started arguing, and it seemed like they were about to come to blows.

At this moment, there was a disturbance at the entrance of the Demon Sect's secret realm, followed by the arrival of more than ten figures landing on the square.

"They're back! Senior Brother Zhao and the others are back!"

"Junior Sister Tong, how did you perform this time? Are the talents from other sects formidable?"

Soon, the disciples surrounded the few individuals.

Among them, a man and a woman stood out the most. The man had a delicate appearance, and his black robe gave off a sinister vibe. The woman, on the other hand, wore a martial outfit and her long hair exuded a strong aura.

"Your wife knows how to avoid trouble. You always push these trivial matters onto me. It's not my turn to deal with luck!"

At this moment, Lin Su passed by with Xia Fan, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes in response, "Then why do you often come to Mirror Moon Valley? Don't think I don't know that you're secretly absorbing my yang energy!"

Ever since Lin Su found out that Xia Fan's luck could nourish Spiritual Treasures and even help the opposite sex in cultivation, he had been intrigued and frequently came to his side. He was almost on the verge of moving in.

After marrying Liu Shifei, Xia Fan's luck could slightly influence the surrounding Yin objects. Lin Su found that practicing and comprehending secret techniques and cultivation were easier when she was by his side. That's why she tirelessly came over to mooch off him.

Liu Shifei didn't pay much attention to this. She just reminded Lin Su not to make a fuss. After all, they were in the Demon Sect, and it wouldn't cause any harm to share a little bit of good fortune with others. Moreover, the luck Lin Su was mooching off was just a drizzle, barely helpful for cultivation. It couldn't compare to the White Jade Gourd and her sword.

"Don't say such harsh words. What do you mean by absorbing your yang energy? Do you think I'm a demon? I'm just taking care of my wife's husband. Without me, you would have starved to death long ago. What's the big deal about mooching off a bit of your luck?"

Xia Fan didn't bother arguing with her at all. This woman was full of logic, even if it was twisted.

"What's happening over there? Why is it so lively?" Xia Fan looked towards the square in the distance and asked.

"What else could it be? The people who went to participate in the biennial inter-sect competition have returned!"

"The inter-sect competition?"

Seeing his puzzled expression, Lin Su couldn't help but slap his forehead. "I forgot that you don't know about this!"

"The inter-sect competition takes place once every ten years. It's attended by disciples below the Third Realm from various sects, led by an elder."

"But these are just minor competitions, meant to put pressure on the younger generation!"

"The real deal is either challenging the Heavenly Tower or striving for a spot on the Three Lists of Heaven, Earth, and Man. Those who are protected by their elders and have no life-threatening crises don't have any motivation!"

"The Heavenly Tower? The Three Lists of Heaven, Earth, and Man?" Xia Fan tilted his head, feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information.

Lin Su thought to himself, it's really difficult to talk to a newbie who has just entered the mundane world. He then briefly explained to Xia Fan.

The Heavenly Tower is located in a secret realm in the northwest wasteland. Anyone below the Third Realm can enter and challenge the tower, one level at a time. Each level passed brings benefits, but there is also a possibility of death. However, even so, many people still go there every year.

The Three Lists of Heaven, Earth, and Man correspond to the Middle Three Realms. They were created by the Four Seas Pavilion and can provide real-time updates on information. It's like a force dedicated to serving cultivators.

Moreover, only the top hundred names are recorded on the Three Lists of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and each person on the list has corresponding achievements that cannot be faked. These are the things that truly make people famous.

Upon hearing this information, Xia Fan, a newbie, couldn't help but sigh at the flashy nature of cultivators. In plain terms, aren't these so-called three rankings just for showing off in front of others?

As a laid-back youth, showing off in front of others is too boring and doesn't bring any substantial benefits. How is it any different from those bosses in my past life who made empty promises?

"Oh, I see. It feels average."

"Tsk, what do you know, you little kid? I used to be ranked twenty-nine on the Earth List. Impressive, right?"

"What's there to be proud of about being twenty-ninth? I thought you were first!"

"You..."

As they spoke, the two of them had already moved away from the crowd in the square and soon arrived at the secret magic tower of the Demon Sect.

Although he had been here for ten years, he usually stayed in Mirror Moon Valley, and very few disciples of the Demon Sect knew about him.

Even if they had seen him, they would only think of him as a disciple. No one would have thought that someone with such low cultivation would actually be the husband of the old ancestor of Mirror Moon Valley.

In terms of seniority, he could be considered the ancestor of these people.

Taking advantage of the fact that many disciples were rushing to the square, the two of them entered the secret magic tower. As expected, there were not many disciples inside.

Without even looking at the magic on the first floor, the two of them headed straight to the second floor.

"I have some understanding of your situation. You are good at swordsmanship, so ordinary magic is useless to you. The offensive magic you can currently use is far inferior to your mastery of Sword Intent. It would be better to choose some special magic from other categories."

As soon as they reached the second floor, Lin Su was the first to speak.

Xia Fan had comprehended Sword Intent when he was in the Qi Circulation Realm. Only a few people knew about this, and even Liu Shifei praised him as a promising sword practitioner. Even in Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, he would be a direct disciple and a genius sword cultivator.

Their Demon Sect was not good at swordsmanship. Although they also had sword techniques, they were far inferior to Ten Thousand Sword Mountain. Forcing himself to cultivate them would only hinder his progress. Therefore, in all these years, he had not learned anything except for the Longevity Technique.

"Then how should I choose?"

"How would I know? You have to choose for yourself. Outsiders can't make decisions for you!"

As she said that, she pushed him forward.

There weren't many magic techniques on the second floor, but there were still hundreds of them. In addition to the common types such as offense, defense, speed, strength, recovery, and healing, there were also some special magic techniques that might not have substantial killing power but could be very helpful in other aspects.

But what she didn't know was that Xia Fan had a bit of decision-making difficulty. He thought everything was good and wanted to learn everything.

When Lin Su saw Xia Fan coming back with a pile of jade slips, she almost dropped her jaw in shock.

"You, you, you're going to bankrupt yourself! How many spirit stones did it cost?"

"Do I need spirit stones? I just swiped the token my wife gave me, and they came out."

Lin Su: @#￥%……&*

She almost forgot that his wife was in the third realm of the Demon Sect. People in the third realm could use all the resources of the sect, let alone some magic techniques.

As the saying goes, when you're poor, you have precise strikes, and when you're rich, you have overwhelming firepower.

Anyway, he had the affiliated gold card. As far as his eyes could see, he could take everything away. If he hadn't reached the limit, he could have taken more.

"Let's go to the third floor. I want to see if you can take away the magic techniques there!"
