Chapter 9: The Reward for Climbing the Ladder
Everyone in the audience looked at Wu Moli who flew out of the ring with sympathetic eyes, and some people from the demon clan directly opened their mouths and scolded, this guy has lost all the face of the demon clan.
Bashan shrugged, measured the distance with his eyes, and said helplessly: "I only flew out of such a distance, it seems that my strength still needs to be practiced." ”
As soon as these words fell, the people of the demon clan almost vomited blood, and their faces became more and more ugly one by one.
"Now that you have won, it is undignified to say more sarcastic words. Suddenly, a voice rang out from the crowd.
Xie Qian looked at it, and a person who looked like a scholar came into view, holding a folding fan in his hand, standing in the crowd with a graceful demeanor, a scene of his own.
"Isn't that person Lu Ci? When he was at the peak of the ninth rank limit cultivation, he once challenged the five major ninth-rank peak powerhouses of the human race and defeated them all. Someone in the crowd said.
Bashan didn't look at Lu Ci, he directly picked up the axe and ran in the direction of the demon clan, almost solving one with an axe, and they all flew out of the ring in the same arc and landed next to Lu Ci. From beginning to end, Bashan didn't use his soul power, and no one knew what kind of cultivation he was.
"Do the weak need sympathy?" After solving everything, Bashan said to Lu Ci domineeringly.
"It's really not necessary, but this is about the honor of the demons, so that's another matter. Lu Ci said very calmly, making people unable to see joy.
"If you don't accept it, let's go on stage, let's fly one by one. "Bashan still does not show weakness.
"I don't like to fight with people, goodbye to the trip to Tianmai Mountain, if you speak disrespectfully again, I don't mind teaching you a lesson. ”
After Lu Ci finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head to look at Xie Qian: "I'm looking forward to your performance when you climb the ladder, how many rewards you can get." ”
"Reward?" Xie Qian was a little puzzled. Without waiting for him to ask a question, Lu Ci had already turned around and disappeared into the crowd, without a trace.
"When the time comes, I'll blow you up with an axe. Bashan was very indifferent to this kind of person, and said indignantly.
"Brother Xie still doesn't know the rules and precautions for climbing the ladder. When Xie Qian was stunned, a voice came into Xie Qian's ears, Xie Qian turned around and saw Xu Wujian looking at him with a kind face.
"Please advise me as well. Xie Qian said modestly.
"Seeing that Brother Xie is from another state, it's normal to not know. ”
After a pause, Xu Wujian said again: "The ladder to the sky, as the name suggests, is to go up step by step in the form of climbing the ladder, and each ladder has a terrifying coercion, and the higher you go, the stronger the coercion. It has two purposes for climbing the ladder, the first is to eliminate those with mediocre talents, and those who do not reach the sixth level will be eliminated by themselves. The second purpose is to excavate the top existence of the ninth level of cultivation, as long as someone climbs above the sixth floor, each floor will be rewarded accordingly,"
"Why is it a ninth-level limit cultivation? an eighth-level limit of cultivation?" Xie Qian asked.
"Originally, in the past, the eighth-level limit cultivation could also try to climb the ladder of heaven, but today, for some reason, the Hall of Hundred Beasts suddenly announced that those who climb the ladder can only be the Tianjiao of the ninth-level limit cultivation, and the reward this time is much higher than in previous years. ”
"Tianjiao, who can ascend to the seventh layer, will be rewarded with 100,000 soul stones. Tianjiao, who ascended to the eighth layer, was rewarded with five first-order soul recovery pills, worth 500,000 soul stones. Tianjiao, who has ascended to the ninth layer, can directly enter the Hundred Beasts Hall to meet the hall master, and the hall master will promise him a condition. Xu Wujian said with an expectant look in his eyes. Ascending the high-rise ladder represents strength and honor.
When Xie Qian heard this, he was a little excited, he was still worried about the soul stone, but he didn't expect to have a great opportunity to earn the soul stone. However, although Xie Qian knew that his strength was also strong, he did not get carried away because of this, after all, he did not understand the strength of the Heavenly Ladder's coercion, and there were still many unknown factors to consider.
Grandpa Yan once said that the road of the strong needs to be cautious and operate step by step.
"If you can't climb the Heavenly Ladder, then isn't it impossible for a martial artist who has reached the eighth level of cultivation to participate in the trip to Tianmai Mountain?" Xie Qian voiced his doubts.
"No, Brother Xie should be able to observe that from just now to now, those who have entered the ring are all at the peak of the ninth rank limit and below, and there are very few martial artists with the eighth level of cultivation to participate in the ring competition. Xu Wujian said.
Xie Qian nodded, he had noticed this, but he thought it was just a coincidence, after all, a martial artist who had reached the eighth-level cultivation limit before the age of eighteen was no better than the cabbage in the market, grabbing a handful.
"In fact, a martial artist who has reached the eighth-level cultivation limit under the age of eighteen can be regarded as the best among many talents, and these forms of competition are meaningless. They can go to the outside of the Hall of the Hundred Beasts to sign up and directly obtain the qualification to enter the Heavenly Vein Mountain. Xu Wujian said.
"Wow, why don't I know, I wouldn't have participated in this competition if I knew it, and I still owe Xie Qian a hundred soul stones. Bashan walked down from the ring and came to Xie Qian's side, and heard what Xu Wuqian said.
"Your Excellency is an eighth-level limit cultivation?" Xu Wujian bowed to Bashan. The majestic momentum of Bashan just now made a deep impression on him, and at the same time, he also remembered his name, Han Bashan. In the Tianwen Continent, the strong will always be concerned and respected.
"Yes, can you take me to sign up? I'm not familiar with the terrain here. Bashan scratched his head.
"Of course, this little thing is wrapped up in the contemptible. Xu Wujian said.
"Xie Qian, let's go together, anyway, you can only go to the ladder tomorrow. Bashan said to Xie Qian behind him.
Xie Qian looked at them, he was originally very happy about Xu Wuji's personality, upright and modest, but from his conversation with Bashan, Xie Qian could faintly feel that Xu Wuji's modesty seemed to be too much, and there was some flattery.
"Maybe it's the environment of the Tianwen Continent. Xie Qian thought.
He didn't pay much attention to it, it didn't matter to him what kind of personality Xu Wujian was, and he wouldn't preach to others because of a Pingshui meeting, which would not only seem impolite but also disgusting.
"Okay, it's just nothing, I'm going to go shopping with you. Xie Qian agreed to them and went to the outside of the Hall of Hundred Beasts together.
......
Phoenix Mansion, on the magnificent palace, there is a middle-aged man sitting at this time, his eyes are slightly closed, and he is holding his chin with his hand, as if he is thinking about something.
A bright figure walked into the hall, and she bowed slightly to the man in the hall: "Uncle, Die'er is leaving." ”
The man opened his eyes and looked at the people who had arrived. secretly said in his heart that his niece had a face that captivated the country and the city at a young age, but she did not lose her mother's appearance when she was young.
"How's your grandfather?" the man asked, a worried look on his face.
The girl shook her head: "Grandpa's situation is getting worse day by day, Uncle Danjing said that if you go to Tianmai Mountain this time and can't find that last herb and make that Dan, Grandpa may lose all his mana, and even he will not be able to return to the sky." The girl said calmly, apparently accepting the fact.
"Butterfly will definitely go all out to find that herb. The girl said firmly.
"This trip to Tianmai Mountain is different from previous ones, even my uncle and I don't know what kind of danger there is inside, those dead things have almost given birth to spiritual intelligence, if the younger generation of people on this trip to Tianmai Mountain can't wipe them out, the demon clan may need to take that last resort. ”
"The eighth-level limit of cultivation, with Die'er here, my uncle is still very relieved. However, none of the ninth-level cultivators have found a suitable candidate at present. The man sighed.
"Are there any of those Tianjiao in the core land?" the girl asked.
"That little witch is already in power, how can she allow those Tianjiao to help us. The man shook his head.
"One day, I'll kill it back. The girl gritted her teeth as if she thought of something from the past.
"Your injuries?" the man asked.
"I've recovered a lot, it's fine. The girl replied.
"That's good, although the current situation is not optimistic, but there are countless Tianwen Continent Tianjiao, maybe someone can climb to the ninth layer of the ladder and qualify. After a pause, the man said again: "This time, my uncle sent the strongest person at the peak of the ninth rank of the family to participate in the competition, maybe he can climb to the ninth layer, and then you have to cooperate well to try to destroy those dead things and find herbs." The man said.
"Well, Die'er must do her best. The girl withdrew from the hall, and she used a secret method to cover her face, adding a hazy beauty to her whole person.
"Pin your hopes on a girl under the age of eighteen, alas, the Phoenix clan is really declining more and more. The man was in the hall, muttering helplessly.
......
Xie Qian and his party came to the outside of the Hall of Hundred Beasts. Along the way, according to Xu Wuji's introduction, Xie Qian learned that the Hundred Beast Hall is the largest force in Zhongzhou, which is composed of many big families of the demon clan, and every hundred years a hall master is elected from these big families to lead the whole hall.
Xie Qian and the others came to the registration office, where a stone tablet stood with their names engraved on it. Xie Qian understood, these are all martial artists who have gone to Tianmai Mountain for the eighth rank limit cultivation this time, and there are more than a thousand people.
Xie Qian looked at the last row of stone tablets, and he was surprised by the name engraved on them.
"Shi Jiu has reached the eighth-level cultivation limit, it seems that I can't fall behind. Xie Qian secretly decided that this trip to Tianmai Mountain needed to practice hard and enhance his strength.
"I have never practiced the Demon Refining Divine Skill, and my grandfather said that it is not suitable to practice this technique in Peach Blossom Village, and now that I have arrived in the Tianwen Continent, I need to study it carefully. There is also Uncle Li's "The Wind is Indecisive", and this life-saving spell cannot fall. The second weight of "Thirty-six Layers of War Thunder" also has to step up time to cultivate. While Xie Qian was thinking, a voice suddenly came into his ears.
"Isn't this that shameless guy, how did you get here?"
Xie Qian was sure that the voice was addressed to him, and he turned his head in confusion, and a rather impressive face entered his eyes and came to his mind.
This... Isn't this the doorman who blew me away outside the gate of the Phoenix Mansion?
