Mortal Bones

The next evening.

"Rumble..."

In the backyard of Mingjian Villa, when the token Xu Taiping received when he challenged the pagoda spirit was thrown into the almost dry pond, the rockery in the pond slowly moved away, and a rusty bronze treasure box followed a stone platform. rise slowly.

"Master, go get it!"

By the pond, Zhai Mo, standing on the left side of Xu Taiping, looked at Xu Taiping with a smile.

"Sir, you deserve this."

Gongshu Nanxing also smiled at Xu Taiping.

"boom!--"

But at this moment, a deafening sound of collision suddenly came from the gate of Mingjian Villa.

Several people looked back and saw huge flying rocks falling from the sky.

However, these boulders were all bounced off by the barrier above the villa.

"Fortunately, Mr. Zhang repaired the villa's formation barrier in time, otherwise we would have to free our hands to deal with those demonic cultivators."

Zhai Mo grinned.

Facing the flying rocks falling from the sky, the three of them not only did not panic, but all smiled on their faces.

"The fish is hooked."

Gongshu Nanxing raised the corners of his mouth, then looked at Xu Taiping and said:

"Sir, get your things. Mr. Zhang said before that the outer formation cannot be repaired intact and can only last for a moment."

Xu Taiping nodded, then jumped and landed on the stone platform in the center of the pond.

"Crack!"

The treasure box seemed to be able to sense the breath of the person rewarded by Emperor Xuanhuang. As soon as Xu Taiping's hand touched it, the box opened automatically.

However, Xu Taiping was slightly disappointed that there were only two inconspicuous things inside -

A jade slip and a black iron token.

"After all, this is the second level. There are fewer treasures and it's normal to be simpler."

Xu Taiping comforted himself with a laugh, while reaching out and taking out the jade slip and token from the bronze treasure box.

He first picked up the jade slip and took a look at it, only to see a line of small words written on it -

"The "Gold-Breaking Technique of the Lion's Roar and the Dragon's Roar" I occasionally gained enlightenment when I was young by watching the lion's roar and the dragon's chant. I casually created this set of soul-cultivating techniques. It can be learned at the second level of the Divine Refining Realm. Once you have achieved great success, you can reach the ordinary Heaven-Looking Realm. It’s hard for monks to resist.”

After reading the handwriting on the jade slip, Xu Taiping's eyes suddenly lit up and he murmured:

"It's actually a soul cultivation technique created by Emperor Xuanhuang himself. If it can be used in the outside world, it would be a real treasure."

Immediately, he poured his true energy into the jade slip without hesitation, and then knocked the jade slip on his forehead.

In an instant, passages of mysterious words began to pour into his mind like a tide.

After Xu Taiping allowed this spiritual thought to completely integrate into his soul, he suddenly frowned and said:

"The techniques taught by Emperor Xuanhuang cannot be used in Xuanhuang Tower?"

He felt a little sorry.

"Pap, tap, tap!..."

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from the door of the backyard.

Xu Taiping looked up and saw Mr. Zhang, Nan Xing, and Yu Zhu running towards the pond.

"Sir, what's going on over there? There are more than a hundred demon cultivators outside the village, and the barrier protecting the village can only support half a stick of incense."

Mr. Zhang asked Xu Taiping quickly.

"I've got the stuff here."

Xu Taiping replied to Mr. Zhang, then looked down at the piece of black iron in his hand and said:

"It's... this token called... the Green Dragon Order. I'm not sure what it does."

"Qing...Qinglong Order?!"

When Mr. Zhang heard this, he was startled at first, and then exclaimed in surprise.

"Sir, please bring that token quickly and let me see it!"

He stretched out his hand to Xu Taiping anxiously.

"good."

Seeing Mr. Zhang so excited, Xu Taiping couldn't help but become very curious about the token in his hand. He immediately jumped up and jumped from the stone platform to several people.

"Mr. Zhang, do you recognize this thing?"

Xu Taiping asked curiously as he handed over the token.

"I'm sure...Young Master, you must also know that if more than five people climb the tower together in the Xuanhuang Tower, they will definitely be dispersed when they reach the next floor."

Mr. Zhang took the token, looked at it carefully, and asked Xu Taiping without raising his head.

"Well, I know that."

Xu Taiping nodded.

Previously, there were other human monks still alive on the first floor of the Xuanhuang Tower. The main reason why only the four of them came out together was that when there were more people, they would be scattered to different areas by the Xuanhuang Tower.

"But in the Xuanhuang Tower, there is a treasure called the Iron Armor Token. As long as the Iron Armor Token recognizes its owner and others swear a blood oath to the Iron Armor Token, they can take nine people to the next level at the same time."

"And after reaching the fourth level, as long as the tasks assigned by the tower spirit are completed, the number of monks that the Iron Armor Order can take away at the same time will gradually increase."

"In the end, you can even assemble a military formation in Xuanhuang Tower, and only by gathering a military formation can you pass the test of the higher levels of Xuanhuang Tower."

After Mr. Zhang confirmed that the token was correct, he said to Xu Taiping with some excitement.

"Mr. Zhang, do you mean that this Qinglong Order is a type of the Iron Armor Order?"

After Xu Taiping digested what Mr. Zhang said, he picked up the token in his hand and asked.

"That's right."

Zhang Laozhong nodded, and then continued to introduce to Xu Taiping:

“And I’ve heard some old people mention that the four armor orders, Azure Dragon Order, White Tiger Order, Vermillion Bird Order, and Black Tortoise Order, will be of great use after reaching the ninth floor of the Xuanhuang Tower.”
