Chapter 19: Brave Xiaohai, go and create miracles
When he left Taoyuan Village, Wang Lu was the only one left in the village, a real loner.
Walking out of the village chief's backyard and looking at the empty village, Wang Lu fell into deep thought.
After pondering for a while, someone slapped him on the back, and the black shadow smiled.
"What do you think, the deadline for the task in Taoyuan Village has arrived, and those who can't pass the level have already been kicked out - it's impossible for the Spirit Sword Sect to support them for a lifetime. And now that the mission is over, there is no need for others to continue to exist - maintaining the formation also costs money. ”
Facing Wang Lu's surprised gaze, the black shadow explained lightly.
"You're lucky, you barely made it to the deadline, and if it's a little too late, I'll have to kick you out."
Wang Lu asked with some curiosity, "Are you the senior brother of the Spirit Sword Sect?" ”
The black shadow didn't answer, and said to himself: "You have passed this level in Taoyuan Village, and I, as your witness, will take you to the next level, come with me." ”
After speaking, he walked quickly to the outside of the village, Wang Lu hurriedly followed, and as for the luggage and snacks in the house, he really couldn't take care of it.
The black shadow was far ahead in front, the pace seemed to be slow and urgent, and it didn't take long to leave the village, deep into a continuous mountain range, this mountain, before the end of the task in Taoyuan Village, is an unsolvable labyrinth, no matter how you go, you will eventually return to the origin of Taoyuan Village, but the black shadow only walked for a short time, and then the willows and flowers were bright.
Wang Lu followed behind desperately, panting like a cow after a short time, although he hid countless questions in his heart, he couldn't speak.
The black shadow seemed to be intentionally so, and while dragging Wang Lu for a long run, he said: "After the end of Taoyuan Village, rewards will be given according to the completion of the situation, and I won't say much if you guess this." But remember to put more thought into it when choosing rewards later, the later levels are not so easy, and the Spirit Sword Sect has not recruited qualified talents through the Immortal Ascension Conference for hundreds of years......"
Speaking of this, the black shadow suddenly stopped, turned around and smiled: "Come on, I'm really looking forward to seeing you on the mountain." ”
With that, the shadow disappeared with a whoosh, and behind the shadow, a narrow gap appeared between the mountain walls.
Wang Lu measured it in front of the gap, fortunately he was of medium stature, and he didn't have time to eat before leaving, so he could barely squeeze in.
The gap was narrow in front and wide in the back, and after a short time it suddenly opened up, revealing a wide cave, hidden deep in the mountain, and a gap above the cave cast dappled sunlight, illuminating the inside.
Taking advantage of the daylight, he looked at the cave several times, and Wang Lu shook his head with a smile.
Compared to the flawed but sincere design of Taoyuan Village, this cave is quite unleveled - in the middle of the cave, a wooden box is placed upright, and a blank sign is erected next to it.
Thinking about this, this is the task reward of Taoyuan Village, Wang Lu used a wave of tactics to capture the almost impossible hidden mission, theoretically the reward level will be against the sky, although this wooden box looks tattered, but the treasure level inside should be undoubted - unless the Spirit Sword Sect is completely shameless, using bullshit reasons such as data overflow to cheat.
Just thinking about it, the blank sign suddenly appeared with more words: "Mission statistics:"
"Number of Raiders: One Hundred and Two Picks"
"Total Opinion: 10,000 Opinions"
"Average Favorability: One Hundred"
"Mission Critical: You Can't Finish the Series."
"Mission Completion: One Hundred"
"Overall Points: ......"
The last number, because the wooden card area is limited, too many words are crowded together, small and dense can no longer be seen clearly, but it is also an astronomical number.
The settlement of Taoyuan Village should be carried out independently according to the rules set by the designer, but the designer was afraid that there would be an adventurer at the level of Wang Lu's smashing field...... But all in all, it's great that there is no data overflow.
After giving the comprehensive score, the wooden sign sinks into the ground with a hula, and the wooden box next to it is brewing for a while, sometimes shaking gently twice, making a reverie sound.
After a stick of incense, the wooden box opened by itself, and the contents gushed out like a blowout, and for a time it was full of colors and dazzled people's eyes.
——
Above the clouds, a certain black-and-white disciple who was caught staring at the changes in the clouds finally couldn't help but be lonely and stretched out for a long time.
"Alas, this time the Immortal Ascension Conference will probably be blind."
A black-and-white disciple next to him, who looked much younger, asked curiously, "Senior brother, why do you want to say that?" I've seen a few of the top rankings, and the progress is pretty good. ”
The older black and white sneered: "What's the good progress, it's been wasted so long in front of the penultimate spirit, and the spirit that guards the bottom of the pass at the back, I think there is still one or two points of hope except for that Hai Yunfan, and no one else should think about it." ”
The young black and white was even more surprised: "I remember that the spirits in the Red Ridge Mountain, Ice Wind Valley, Qingyun Peak, and Netherworld Dao are the strongest, that is, between the first six and seven grades, which is not easy for mortals to deal with, but it should be difficult for them, they have all been rewarded by Taoyuan Village, and there are really a few people with amazing qualifications." ”
The elder black and white patted the shoulder of the junior brother: "Senior brother, you are still too young, this path of immortal ascension in our sect, no one has been able to complete it for hundreds of years, this kind of shocking and vulgar record, which makes other sects laugh and generous, do you think you can do it with those few first-class sixth- and seventh-grade spirits in the mountain road?" So far, you and I have other brothers and sisters, aren't they all accepted by the masters and uncles when they traveled all over the world? To be honest, although your qualifications and temperament are first-class, and you are still better than my senior brother, you will not be able to go to the end if you are allowed to go on this road once. ”
The junior brother was obviously a little unconvinced, but he didn't say anything.
The senior brother patted him on the shoulder again: "Ha Luha, if you don't believe it, then continue to look down, oh, that one named Hai Yunfan seems to be not far from the last level." ”
——
Haiyun Fan, who was walking on the netherworld, was indeed not far from the end.
From the time he left Taoyuan Village to the present, it has been more than two weeks, and this Icewind Valley Road is finally about to be penetrated by him, but the person who has traveled a hundred miles is half ninety, and Hai Yunfan has not only not relaxed, but has taken out more care.
Because he knows exactly what awaits him in the back. The path to immortal ascension that no one in the Spirit Sword Sect has been able to open for hundreds of years, how can it be easy for him to go to the end? is not a natural demon like Wang Lu, Hai Yunfan is very clear about his own catties.
The qualification of the third product, the temperament of the second product, and the understanding of the first product...... and the ability to weigh super products, which is the only specialty that Hai Yunfan thinks is worth relying on.
left early in Taoyuan Village before, also because of the trade-off. Leaving too early will indeed result in a loss of mission completion, but the first one to leave will likely receive an additional reward.
After weighing it repeatedly, Hai Yunfan made a judgment, and at the beginning of the Frozen Valley, he realized that he had made the right bet.
The reward is very simple, during the trial of the road to ascending to immortals, the physical strength is unlimited, and by the way, a seven-grade magic weapon - the little straw man who lowers his head, can greatly weaken the enemy, and is limited to three times.
And Icewind Dale is really difficult along the way, not only does it have the kind of golden bridge to ascend to immortals, the natural rejection of those with insufficient qualifications, but also the illusion is everywhere, just like the cloud wave map is good at confusing people's hearts. Trialists may encounter a variety of situations, some of which need to be avoided with playfulness, while others need to be faced bravely.
This is an all-round test for the trialist, no matter how much of an amazing genius you are, any lack of quality may be stopped halfway, and among them, the most important quality is ...... It happens to be the ability to weigh and judge.
When you don't advance, when you don't retreat, you can only play four or five points with ten skills, which doesn't work on the road to immortality, and it just so happens that Hai Yunfan is good at weighing and judging, plus a little luck...... He has passed more than ten difficulties in Icewind Dale, which can be called a moat, one by one, and he didn't even use the little straw man who lowered his head.
Of course, this is also deliberate...... In the previous few times in distress, he was even almost cornered by a passing spirit, but the little straw man was always crushed by him at the bottom of the box.
Because if you want to pass the test of the last level, you must keep valuable resources. Others don't know, but Hai Yunfan knows, whether it's Icewind Valley or Red Ridge Mountain...... At the very end, a powerful spirit will be arranged as a guard, so how powerful is the spirit?
to the point where no one has been able to do it for hundreds of years.
Fortunately, the Spirit Sword Sect has arranged a Taoyuan Village on the road to immortal ascension this time, and through the task reward, it can somewhat strengthen the strength of the trialist. For example, if this little straw man with his head is stacked with three weakenings...... Maybe it's going to be able to get through.
Thinking so, Hai Yunfan walked into the last canyon of Icewind Valley, the valley road stretched and twisted, Hai Yunfan was patient, always tense his nerves, until he passed a corner, and finally saw the spirit guarding the pass.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Hai Yunfan frowned and fell into deep thought.
It's weird, what kind of spirit is this big guy who is ten feet long, covered in ice, and looks a little like a Southern Barbarian Elephant? He is also well-read and knowledgeable, and he is familiar with the "Cangxi Spirit Monster Chronicles" that has been circulated in the world by cultivating immortals, and the first- and second-level spirits introduced in it are already familiar with it, but at this time, he doesn't remember seeing this variety.
——
"To be honest, I've always suspected that the ancestors of our sect made trouble."
Above the clouds, the older black and white carefully passed the gossip.
And the young junior brother asked curiously, "What oolong?" ”
"I suspect that when they were designing the Ascension Road, they accidentally wrote a typo in the rules of the last level, and the spirit guarding the pass should have been a second-level nine-grade, but as a result, it was written as a third-level nine-grade, a difference of one word, no, it is a stroke of difference!"
When he heard the term third-level nine grades, the junior disciple couldn't help but exclaim: "Third-level spirits? Even if it's only the ninth grade, isn't that a monk who is close to the foundation building period?! ”
As a result, the senior brother corrected it very seriously: "That is the foundation building period of the general sect, and if you change it to our Spirit Sword Sect, the cultivation of the first and second grades in the Qi cultivation period is enough to deal with the third-level spirits of the lower grades." ”
The junior disciple said a little weakly: "Then you have to have the cultivation of the first and second grades of Qi cultivation, how do you let a group of people who have not yet started cultivation deal with it?" Even if there is a family heirloom, it is difficult. ”
The senior brother spread his hands very irresponsibly: "Who knows, so no one has been able to get through for hundreds of years, the third-level spirit, tsk tsk, the difference between the first level, the difficulty is afraid to skyrocket tenfold, and the third-level and nine-grade products are only the bottom limit, even if they encounter seven or eight grades, it is not uncommon to encounter seven or eight grades, this time Haiyunfan is lucky, and he happened to meet the nine-grade ...... That's why I said, except for that Hai Yunfan, who can have one or two points of hope, don't think about anyone else. ”
As he was talking, there were waves on the clouds again, and the senior brother flickered his eyes, and his eyebrows suddenly danced.
"Oooh, here we go!"
The junior brother hurriedly leaned over: "Ah, what a decisive reaction, as soon as you come up, you will directly use the head lowering grass man!" Use it three times in a row! ”
Senior Brother nodded: "It's a very correct choice, although it is only a seven-grade magic weapon, and the theory is only effective for second-level and below spirits, but if it is only a third-level nine-grade and used three times in a row, it may indeed be downgraded." ”
The junior brother was a little worried: "But even if it is downgraded, it is still the level of the second level and the first and second grades, and hundreds of elite soldiers are afraid that they will not be able to ...... it."
The senior brother said: "Don't worry, this person named Hai Yunfan must have hidden his hole cards." ”
The junior disciple continued to worry: "Even if you hide the magic weapon, it's useless, for people who haven't gone through cultivation, the more advanced the artifact, the more difficult it is to exert its effect. For example, those who smuggled magic weapons, the sixth- and seventh-grade magic weapons were not as good as the nine-grade magic weapons, which made people laugh and couldn't laugh......"
The senior brother recognized it very much: "Mmmm, it's just a shame for our monks...... But this Haiyunfan is not the same level as that group of waste wood, let's look down. ”
——
Hai Yunfan is indeed not on the same level as Xie Qianlong and the like.
Because Xie Qianlong and the others still have the hole cards given by the family, he really doesn't have them.
The prince of Yuntai has a prominent status, but he is only prominent in the mortal world, and it is true that the Yuntai royal family has good friends with many immortal sects, but it is not good enough to exchange mortal resources for immortal weapons...... Oh, you may be able to exchange magic weapons at will, but magic weapons are really difficult.
Of course, in the thousand-year-old empire, there are always some magic weapons, but what can people who have not practiced even if they hold magic weapons? Except for the legendary few superb magic weapons that are comparable to immortal weapons, there are no magic weapons for ordinary people, and magic weapons cannot be brought into the mountains.
Hai Yunfan is not a cheater such as Wang Lu, he can't find the loophole of the road to immortality, and he goes all the way, relying on neither hole cards nor cheating, but just continuous efforts.
And will constant effort work miracles?
Hai Yunfan really hopes that.
Because if there is no miracle, then he is doomed.
Hai Yunfan is not a cultivator, so there is no way to accurately measure the level of the spirit, but after using it three times, the giant beast in front of him has only degenerated from a height of ten zhang to a height of seven zhang......
Life and death on the road to immortality, and with this kind of big guy as an enemy, a hundred lives are not enough to lose. But......
But Hai Yunfan still drew out the family heirloom sword and bravely pointed at the opponent.
