Infinite true path

About half an hour passed, and when Huan Yin stopped, he had already walked around the second floor of the nine-story pagoda. Although the second floor was much larger than the first floor and contained more classics, Huan Yin still could not find any books he had not read.

Huan Yin was going crazy. He spent a whole nine hundred spirit stones, but got nothing. Although he has a lot of spirit stones now, he is a disciple who came from a poor sword pavilion after all. How could he not cherish the spirit stones?

In Huan Yin's mind, he was facing an unprecedented challenge. He had to achieve the title of weapon master before the age of fifteen. This was something that even Grandmaster Lan Yanzi of Yijian Peak could not achieve. Therefore, he has always felt that his current knowledge is far from enough to pass the weapon master selection test, and his desire for knowledge is therefore extremely strong. He wished he could read all the books in the world, so that he would feel a little at ease. It is precisely because of this that Huan Yin has always felt that he has read too few classics.

However, how did he know that the number of classics he had read in Wuliang Sect was actually extremely large. Moreover, Huan Yin has been very perceptive and extremely intelligent since he was a child. He almost has a photographic memory, so the contents he read are all retained in his heart. This is also the reason why Huan Yin can even surpass the older generation of weapon masters like Zhao O in the knowledge of materials.

Therefore, it is actually normal for Huan Yin to not be able to find the classics he wants in the first two floors of the nine-story pagoda, but he is not aware of this at all.

Huan Yin once again took out 1,200 spirit stones and walked towards the light curtain on the second floor. He wanted to go to the third floor to take a look. He had already spent a total of 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 to the second floor of the Nine-Storied Pagoda. They saw with their own eyes that Huan Yin "wandered" around on the first floor, and then took out his soul. Shishang reached the current second floor. But before they could react, Huan Yin actually took out more spirit stones and walked towards the third layer of light curtain. And just now they clearly saw that this "foreign casual cultivator" was just "wandering" around on the second floor.

The two monks looked at Huan Yin, shook their heads, 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 once again standing in front of the light curtain on the third floor of the nine-story pagoda. This time, he still gained nothing on the third level.

Huan Yin felt as if he had fallen into a trap. The spiritual stones he invested before did not bring him any gains. If he did not continue to pay spiritual stones to enter the next level, then he would really become a "loose wealth" today. "Boy", he ran to the Nine-Storied Pagoda to contribute to Yijian Peak.

However, if he still wants to go to a higher level and have a look, the next thing he needs to pay will be an even more astonishing amount of spiritual stones. With this amount of spiritual stones, even he now has to feel a little hesitant. Especially when he thought that he might gain nothing if he went to the next level, his mood became more and more entangled.

"I didn't expect that the nine-story pagoda, the largest sect in Yangzhou, could be so deceptive! Today, I have been completely plotted by Yijianfeng! Are we, the foreign monks, really so easy to bully?" Huan Yin felt depressed. It’s hard to bear, but there is unspeakable suffering.

Finally, the surrounding Yijian Peak disciples saw Huan Yin, a "foreign casual cultivator" blushing in front of the light curtain on the third floor. He hesitated for a long time, and finally snorted, turned around and left. Seeing Huan Yin leaving, the Yijian Peak disciples all around felt disdainful. They thought that this outsider who wanted to read books at the upper level but couldn't get the spirit stone, why was he secretly competing in front of the light curtain?

In the afternoon of this day, Huan Yin came to the small courtyard where Zhao Wei lived in an extremely unhappy mood. When Zhao Ao introduced Huan Yin to the door, he saw a gloomy look on his face and asked, "Fellow Huan, what's wrong with you? Are you encountering a problem?"

Huan Yin is still a child, and when he gets angry, he still has a childlike temperament. I saw him saying angrily to Zhao Wei: "Your Yijianfeng's nine-story pagoda is really a trap for people, especially casual cultivators like us. It's a trap to death."

Next, Huan Yin told Zhao Ao what happened to him when he went to the Nine-Storied Pagoda today. Even though Zhao Wei has lived for more than seventy years, he still couldn't help laughing after hearing Huan Yin's words.

Finally, when the look on Huan Yin's face became more depressed and Zhao On was almost smiling, he said: "Fellow Huan, do you know why this nine-story pagoda is set up with nine levels?"

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

Zhao Yidao said: "In our sword-making system of Yijianfeng, we classify the grade of the sword as ninth grade. Generally speaking, ordinary weapon masters can forge first to third-grade swords. If they are experienced, , can also forge a fourth-grade immortal sword. If a master has reached the threshold of the realm of treasure, he can even forge a fifth-grade immortal sword!"

"And if you really enter the realm of the weapon, most of the swords you make will be at the sixth or seventh level. A powerful weapon, if you encounter good sword-making materials, can occasionally cast an eighth-level sword. ! As for the ninth-grade immortal sword, only Grandmaster Lan Yanzi in Yijian Peak can forge it."

"As the weapon master selection test of Yijian Peak has been recognized by more and more colleagues in Kyushu, our grade classification of immortal swords has become more and more accepted by all colleagues."

"So, the reason why the nine-story pagoda is divided into nine levels is to imitate the grade classification of your sect's fairy swords?" Huan Yin took over Zhao Wei's words.

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 recorded knowledge 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: "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 spirit stones, you can also enter the nine-story tower by challenging the assessment on each floor?"

Huan Yin was stunned for a moment, then said: "By the way, he said that each floor has an assessment. As long as you pass it, you can enter and exit the nine-story pagoda 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 knowledge that you are best at. Knowledge of 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 cultivation ancestor is 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. 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-Storey Pagoda can be conducted 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. 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.
