"Girl, why do you have so many?" The beautiful boy looked at Xue Ning with a shocked expression.

"My parents used to be in the jewelry business for the dowry that my family gave me." Xue Ning is still the same rhetoric just now.

The beautiful boy nodded suspiciously, and couldn't help but guess in his heart.

This girl has so many glass beads, she is not an ordinary woman, maybe she is the eldest lady of a nobleman, but why has he never seen her in the imperial capital?

"Girl, I don't want much, four is enough." The beautiful boy took out a stack of silver tickets and handed them to Xue Ning.

Xue Ning counted eight thousand taels, and couldn't help but blossom, she directly gave five to the beautiful son, "Seeing that you are so sincere, I will give you one!"

The beautiful boy was pleasantly surprised, and immediately took it, and the baby was included in the placket.

"Thank you for your kindness."

The owner of the pawnshop looked extremely red, staring at Xue Ning, his eyes full of greed.

Xue Ning seemed to notice the pawnshop owner's eyes, and was vigilant in her heart, so she didn't linger, took the 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and left with light steps.

When the beautiful boy saw her leaving, he couldn't help but look at her twice, and with a burst of gratitude in his heart, he left the pawnshop with the glass beads.

Seeing that there was no one at this time, the pawnshop owner immediately went into the back room and turned a celadon plate that was placed on the bookshelf.

There was a squeak, the bookshelf was slowly pushed open, revealing a secret room, the pawnshop owner pushed the door in, only to see a table of eight immortals in the room, on the table sat four big men with bare breasts, covered with tattoos, with a beard covering half of their faces, looking vicious, and they didn't look like good people.

They were engrossed in playing mahjong, and when they saw the pawnshop owner come in, one of them asked without raising his head, "Lao Liu, is business again?"

The pawnshop owner said, "This time it's two fat sheep, and one of the girls has bags full of five-colored glass beads!"

When the four big men in the room heard this, they immediately shook their hands, and turned their heads to the pawnshop owner.

"Really?"

"I won't be able to lie to you, but I can see it clearly, that girl is definitely not an ordinary woman, maybe it is the princess of some royal family, and the other one is generous, at first glance, it is the son of a rich and noble family, if you can catch them, you can probably make a lot of money!" The pawnshop owner's eyes flashed with an evil light.

"So, the brothers are going to get rich!"

One of the big men stood up, pulled out the big knife behind his back and slashed it on the table of the Eight Immortals, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he laughed fiercely, "Let's act tonight!" Don't let them run away!"

Xue Ning took the silver ticket and couldn't wait to go to the Shenwu Tongtian Pavilion.

Although the initial examination of Yunhai Academy has been over for a long time, the number of people who come to the pavilion has not decreased at all.

There are not only ordinary cultivators, but there are also some famous sword immortals.

In order to prove his strength, he chose to come to the pavilion to make a name for himself!

When they first came, they were very confident in their own strength, and they felt that a mere Babel Pavilion would not be difficult for them.

What they didn't expect was that most of them went in in a glamorous way, and then came out scarred.

"Luoxia Mountain, Qinyin Immortal Gu, failed to break into the pavilion on the third floor!"

"Tianshan Sect, Yunmeng Immortal Monarch, the fifth layer of the pavilion failed!"

The door of the Tsutenkaku opened again and again, and the pavilion keeper still had an indifferent and ruthless expression, and threw several monks covered in blood out of the pavilion.

Seeing the terrible injuries of the monks who broke into the upper echelons, the onlookers couldn't help but retreat and looked at each other in fright.

"Good fellow, isn't this the last layer yet? How badly hurt? They're all masters of the Yuan Infant Stage!"

"In this way, the monk who came out of the first layer just now, although he is crazy, is still good compared to these people!"

"Tut-tut, in this Tongtian Pavilion, it's really dangerous! I don't know which god can make it past the tenth layer!"

"It's still the tenth floor, and it's good to be able to break through the sixth floor

！ Look at the red flag hanging upstairs, from the seventh floor onwards, there is no at all!"

Hearing this, Xue Ning couldn't help but look up at those flags.

Sure enough, the higher you go, the fewer red flags there are, and even the sixth layer has only three people passing through.

Wait, Bai Wenxuan has also been here? Also passed the second layer?

Xue Ning suddenly noticed a familiar name written on those red flags.

This kid is quite powerful, Xue Ning raised her lips funny.

If that were the case, I wouldn't have lost to him!

Xue Ning took out two silver tickets and walked towards the pavilion guard, "Two big brothers, I'm here again!"

"It's you, Xincao." The pavilion keeper blurted out, and at the end he changed his words: "No, I should call you Xue Ning of Shushan, the leader of Yunhai Academy."

"You know I'm Herb?" Xue Ning didn't change his face at the moment, how did they recognize it?

"The news that you took the pseudonym Xin Cao, went to the preliminary examination, and won the top spot, has long been spread in the imperial capital." Shouge is humane.

When the people in front of the attic heard Xue Ning's name, their eyes widened and they talked about it.

"She's that Xue Ning? The leader of the first exam?"

"Damn, she had already passed the first layer when she was still a spicy grass before!"

"I don't know if she'll be able to make it through the second floor."

"If you can't pass, you will lose face, you must know that Bai Wenxuan of White Mist Mountain Villa is not the leader yet, everyone has passed the second layer!"

Xue Ning handed over the two thousand taels in his hand to the pavilion guard, "I said when I left last time that I would come back."

The Pavilion Keeper took the silver ticket, "It seems that you have become rich this time."

Xue Ning smiled, "I've made all the preparations."

"Come with me!" The pavilion keeper turned around and led Xue Ning into the Tongtian Pavilion.

After Xue Ning entered, a person suddenly squeezed in the crowd, it was the beautiful boy Xue Ning met in the pawnshop.

He stared at Xue Ning's back, his eyes lit up slightly, "She turned out to be a disciple of Shushan。。。。。。

The beautiful boy was accompanied by a servant, and he whispered, "Your Highness, do you know that girl?"

The pretty boy shook his head, "It's just a meeting in Pingshui."

The servant glanced around and whispered to the beautiful boy, "Your Highness, let's go back。。。。。。 It's a mixed bag, and it's not safe."

The beautiful boy shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer."

He has been watching the movement of Tongtian Pavilion, and he wants to see if the girl from Shushan can succeed in breaking into the pavilion. Chinese Net

After stepping into the attic, the two pavilion guards led Xue Ning to the entrance of the second floor.

Xue Ning was about to push the door, but the two people around him reminded: "From the second floor, people who break into the pavilion are not allowed to carry any magic weapons, as well as spirit pets, please ask the girl to hand over the magic weapons and spirit pets."

Xue Ning couldn't help but complain, "There are so many rules?"

"It's all for fairness." The cabinet keeper emphasized.

"Got it! I just don't want others to succeed, your boss is really good at doing business!" Xue Ning could only hand over the white jade immortal clothes and Qiankun bags on his body.

The pavilion keeper put away the magic weapon and spirit pet, and then stepped aside, "Girl, please."

Xue Ning took a deep breath, relieved her nervousness, put her hand on the vermilion door in front of her, and gently pushed it.

As soon as he pushed open a gap, Xue Ning was sucked in by a mysterious force.

After landing on the ground, she found herself standing on a turquoise meadow, with blue sky and white clouds overhead, a large cyan tree about 100 feet tall towering in front of her, its branches and leaves bewitching, its shape like a woman scratching her head, thorny vines winding upwards from the huge root system, looking as dangerous as poison.

"A tree?" Xue Ning was a little confused.

She didn't know how a tree could be used as a second-level trial.

Later, she realized that this seemingly beautiful and leisurely world was not

There is an exit, and the meadow in front of me is like the sea, with no end in sight.

In the huge space, there was only her and the big tree.

Xue Ning glanced up at the strange big tree in front of him, and suddenly found that on the top of its branches and leaves, there was a shining fruit, bright red as blood, looking like a gem.

"What's that?" Xue Ning was surprised.

At this moment, the voice of the pavilion keeper sounded in his ears.

"If you want to break through the second layer, you must get the blood jade gel, which is the fruit of this tree, remember, you only have a stick of incense."

Isn't it just the fruit? What's so hard about that?

Xue Ning didn't think so, and immediately flew up and jumped up to the branches of the big tree.

As a result, before he reached the big tree, the tree seemed to come to life, and the huge vines threw it towards Xue Ning.

"What? It will move!" Xue Ning was shocked and immediately dodged on his back.

But before his body could stabilize, a sharp branch suddenly rushed out from the ground, like a huge thorn, stabbing at Xue Ning's back.

Xue Ning broke out in a cold sweat, turned his body again, pulled out the sword at his waist, and slashed at the stab.

"Knort!" The sword in Xue Ning's hand broke into two at once.

So hard! Xue Ning was shocked.

The vines behind him shook like whips, and with a terrifying wind pressure.

"Ahh Xue Ning was knocked out by the vines, and his back was dripping with blood for a while, and his flesh was pierced.

Xue Ning didn't dare to underestimate this tree anymore, and immediately retreated a few feet away, looking at it with a vigilant expression.

It's so strong, this tree is even more powerful than a spirit beast! What the hell is it?

Gradually, Xue Ning's vision began to blur, she shook her head, and suddenly stood unsteadily.

Oh no, is that vine poisonous?

Xue Ning had a bad premonition.

Seeing that Xue Ning seemed to have been tricked, the big tree took advantage of the victory to pursue, and countless branches stretched out from the ground, entangled Xue Ning's body like a ghost hand, and firmly tied the person and couldn't move.

Xue Ning struggled frantically twice, but the more she struggled, the faster the toxicity in her body flowed, she only felt paralyzed, her face turned blue, and even breathing became difficult.

No way.

Is this over before it even begins?

It seems that she underestimated this tree, it is simply a monster!

After the big tree tied up Xue Ning, it didn't let her go, its branches suddenly lit up with a burst of brilliant golden light, and the branches that bound Xue Ning began to frantically absorb the aura on Xue Ning's body.

"What, this guy is sucking his own power?" Xue Ning was startled and suddenly panicked.

She wanted to seal her meridians and prevent the aura from continuing to flow.

However, she was poisoned, and the branches wrapped around her body had the ability to suppress her aura, so she couldn't use her aura to cast spells.

The Pavilion Keeper's voice came again, "This tree grows by absorbing people's aura, and the more aura, the higher it grows, and the more difficult it will be!"

"What?" Xue Ning looked up, and sure enough, the big tree, which was only a hundred zhang tall just now, scurried up a lot, and the blood jade condensate that was already difficult to reach was even more difficult to get now.

"If you are drained of your aura by it, you will fail to break into the pavilion."

it! Xue Ning was like a great enemy, and suddenly became nervous.

She clenched her fists secretly and her brain was spinning.

The tree belongs to the wood, the wood is one of the five elements, the five elements are mutually reinforcing, since you can't win, then burn it! Don't forget, without aura, Lao Tzu still has demonic energy!

Xue Ning's eyes lit up!
