Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Tower of Trials
The Burning Sky Valley Trial Tower is a place dedicated to honing the fighting techniques of cultivators, with a total of five floors, corresponding to the three floors of the Qi refining period and the two floors of the foundation building period, each layer can be used by ten people at the same time, which is wonderful.
When the monk enters the trial tower, he can conjure up a variety of demon beasts with different cultivation skills for the trial according to his needs, and at the same time, he can also adjust the type and number of demon beasts as needed.
There are a total of fifteen types of monsters in the Trial Tower, and up to a hundred monsters can be summoned.
The Tower of Trials is actually a magical super-large functional magic weapon. Unlike the Tianyan Pavilion magic weapon, this is a genuine ancient magic weapon, and its value is immeasurable.
The Trial Tower is a refining method that a certain powerful predecessor of the Burning Heaven Valley Sect Lihuo Sect obtained by luck in a Jedi secret realm. Originally, the method of refining could not be refined in the immortal cultivation world at all, but after several generations of masters from the Fire Sect devoted themselves to research, and finally spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to improve the refining methods and materials, and finally refined it.
However, as soon as the trial tower was refined, it played a huge role, which made the monks of the Fire Sect more powerful than the monks of the same level of the other five sects of the Chu State, so whether it was in the secret realm or in the battle with the demon beasts, the casualties of the monks of the Fire Sect were greatly reduced, and the gains were greatly increased. Over time, the Fire Leaving Sect gradually became the second largest sect after the True Pole Sect.
But after all, paper can't contain the fire, and the secret of the Trial Tower, no matter how closely it is hidden from the Fire Sect, will eventually be leaked out.
Led by the Zhenji Sect, the high-level leaders of the other five factions of the Chu State came to the door and said that they also needed the Trial Tower, and if they did not hand it over from the Fire Sect, they would immediately destroy the Gate.
The Lihuo Sect had no choice but to compromise, and after some arguments, a covenant was made, and the Lihuo Sect would refine the trial tower for the five factions, and the five factions would pay a huge amount of cultivation resources before giving up.
In addition, the last six factions agreed to prohibit the trial tower from circulating to other countries, and once there was an idea of the immortal cultivation forces of other countries to fight the trial tower, the six factions would advance and retreat together.
When refining the trial tower for the other five factions, he secretly left a hand with the Fire Sect. The original authentic Trial Tower had six floors, and it could summon up to a sixth-level demon beast equivalent to the foundation building consummation realm. In addition, there are more than 20 types of monsters to choose from, and you can summon up to more than 150 monsters.
Although the trial tower provided by the Fire Sect to the five factions is also six floors, it can summon at most an illusion demon beast equivalent to the cultivation of the late stage of foundation building, and there are only fifteen types of demon beasts, and the number is one hundred. In this regard, without affecting the general situation, the five major factions can only pinch their noses and admit it.
Because of its close relationship with the Fire Sect, Burning Sky Valley is the only sect among all second-rate sects that has a trial tower.
The Trial Tower does not need to be controlled by humans, it only needs to consume spirit stones. The Trial Tower can be said to be a Spirit Devouring Behemoth, it needs a medium-grade spirit stone in one hour, and it runs for eight hours a day, so in a year, it will basically use up nearly three thousand medium-grade spirit stones.
The disciples of the Burning Sky Valley are different according to the floor of the trial tower they are in, and the contribution points or spirit stones consumed by different people are also different. The first floor of the Trial Tower only costs five sect contribution points for one hour, while the fifth floor costs a hundred points to use the same amount of time. A sect's contribution point is equal to a low-grade spirit stone, and the cost of spirit stones is the same, but spirit stones are much more precious than contribution points, so generally no one is willing to use spirit stones for trials.
In addition, there are also restrictions on the time of the disciple's trial, Burning Sky Valley. A disciple in the Qi refining period cannot exceed ten hours in a month, and a disciple in the foundation building period cannot exceed twenty hours in a month. The main reason is that the high-level leaders of the Burning Sky Valley are afraid that their disciples will be addicted to the fighting method and delay their cultivation, which is one of them.
At the same time, I am afraid that this will breed arrogance, and if I am not cautious enough when I encounter danger again, I will lose my life because of it, which is the second thing. Everything must be reversed, and there was a floating gold pavilion before because of the trial tower planted a big heel, resulting in a great injury to the vitality.
Zhang Yifan has been in the sect for more than half a year, and by enjoying the treatment of core disciples, he will have 30 sect contribution points distributed for free every month. He has no shortage of elixirs, talismans, and magic weapons, so he uses the sect's contribution points to go to the trial tower for trials. When Zhang Yifan recovered to the eighth layer of cultivation in the Qi Refining Period, he began to enter the trial tower for trials, specifically honing his fighting skills.
At the beginning, Zhang Yifan chose a second-level wolf-shaped demon beast that was equivalent to the eighth layer of cultivation in the Qi training period. Wolf-type monsters belong to melee monsters, which are fast and fierce in attack, but there is a disadvantage that the defense is weak, and only a large number can exert their power.
Zhang Yifan dealt with one or two easily, and three could barely win, but when there were four, he was quickly defeated, of course, Zhang Yifan did not use any talismans, because it was really not cost-effective, unless it was to test his limit, no one was willing to use consumable treasures.
Subsequently, Zhang Yifan has been at the level of dealing with the four wolf demons. However, he made rapid progress, from insisting on less than ten breaths at first, to insisting on one cup of tea later. After spending five hours of training, Zhang Yifan was finally able to defeat four demon wolves, but this was also his limit, and he couldn't even hold on to three breaths of five wolves.
Then Zhang Yifan continued to practice dealing with the four wolf demons. By familiarizing himself with the attack methods of the wolf demons and figuring out the habits of the wolf demons, after spending another five hours of trial time, Zhang Yifan was finally able to defeat the four wolf demons in one cup of tea, and was able to hold on to the siege of the five wolf demons for more than ten breaths.
Then he kept trying the fighting methods of eagles, tigers, hedgehogs and other monsters. Eagle monsters attack from the air, flexible, fast, and unguardable. Tiger monsters are powerful and ferocious, with rough skin and thick meat, making them very difficult to deal with. As for the hedgehog-like demon beasts, the hedgehog is much larger, the size of a wild boar, sending out spikes for long-range attacks, making Zhang Yifan embarrassed.
However, in the past few months, Zhang Yifan's fighting methods have improved rapidly. Not only has the magic weapon been activated and can be activated quickly, but the appropriate magic weapon is always used to have the desired effect. Now, if he encounters the Yao brothers again, he will definitely not be as embarrassed as he was at the beginning, and he can easily win in a few rounds.
Zhang Yifan was also a little addicted to the fighting method because of this, and when he was about to use the spirit stone to continue the trial after the sect contribution points he had accumulated before were exhausted, he was told by the steward of the trial tower that the cultivation time of the month had been used up, which made him sober up. It seems that we have to take care of it, and we can't get too caught up in it.
After that, Zhang Yifan restrained himself, he only came twice this month a year ago, and he was not in the trial after using up the contribution points of the sect. The last time Zhang Yifan let Xiaobai also participate, one person and one demon can deal with eight second-level wolf demons at the same time without Xiaobai transforming, which is really a remarkable achievement. You must know that even a monk at the thirteenth level of Qi refining did not dare to pack a ticket and say that he could deal with so many wolf demons at the same time.
In addition, there is another gratifying thing, maybe it is the reason for the trial, Xiaobai actually broke through under the extreme pressure and became a second-level demon beast, exuding a king's aura all over his body, his momentum is much stronger than before, and his strength is naturally on a higher level, it is not a problem to deal with the three wolf demons alone, this is still in the case that it has not transformed.
After that, Zhang Yifan entered the third layer of the trial tower and tried to summon two third-level wolf demons, and the ability of the third-level wolf demons was comparable to that of a twelfth-layer monk in the Qi refining period. After a hard battle and exhausting all the available means in his body, Zhang Yifan finally defeated them, and he had little mana left. This is also the performance of Zhang Yifan's regular level at present.
A few days before Zhang Yifan participated in the fighting competition, Xu Ziwu returned to the Burning Sky Valley. Seeing that the master had returned to the Meridian Workshop, Zhang Yifan went to ask An to meet him in order to fulfill his disciple's filial piety. When Xu Ziwu saw Zhang Yifan coming, his expression was also wide, and his originally sad expression eased.
"The apprentice asks the master for peace, I haven't seen the master for half a year, and your old man has been reduced. Zhang Yifan said respectfully, after a few months of getting along, Zhang Yifan has already sincerely recognized Xu Ziwu as a teacher, and he can't help but feel a little distressed when he sees his master like this.
"Fan'er has a heart, I heard several refiners in the workshop talk about your performance, and you have passed the assessment with excellent results. The performance is good, and I am very pleased to be a teacher. Xu Ziwu said to Zhang Yifan with a smile that he was satisfied with his performance in the first half of the year.
"The master taught well, and several other refining masters spared no effort to guide the apprentices, so they will have this harvest. Zhang Yifan said modestly, not complacent.
"Well, it's very good, not arrogant, not impatient, calm down, for my refiner's roots. Next, I will conduct a year-end assessment for you, and after passing, I will start to teach you to get started with refining materials, and then I will start to try to refine magic weapons, and strive to catch up with the Shangzong refining weapon competition conference in two years, and win glory for my Burning Sky Valley. ”
"Yes, it's all up to Master. ”
After a few hours, Xu Ziwu happily touched his beard, and the whole person looked radiant and unusually happy.
"Haha, yes, yes. The good disciple really didn't disappoint me, he deserves to have the same physique as me, and he is really suitable for cultivating refining weapons. You can rest for a few days for the time being, and after I finish presiding over the sect refining competition, I will hand over your Heavenly Refining Method and Basic Refining Method. ”
"Thank you, Master. The apprentice signed up for the sect's mid-level fighting method during the qi refining period and asked for the master's approval. ”
"Well, it's a good thing to participate in more fighting, how can a refiner not know how to use magic weapons, go ahead, just be careful not to get hurt. Xu Ziwu waved his hand and readily agreed.
"Thank you, Master!" Zhang Yifan was also happy, but he was about to retire when he was stopped by Xu Ziyi.
"Hey, wait, apprentice, you've cultivated to the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and you're making rapid progress. Xu Ziyi was a little puzzled, with Zhang Yifan's spiritual root qualifications, it stands to reason that he did not advance so quickly.
"The disciple has been cultivating hard in the past few months, and at the same time, he also took the Purple Qi Pill given by the sect, and finally took a Juyuan Pill and a Aiqi Pill when he broke through the bottleneck. Zhang Yifan lied hard, he didn't want to expose his unique secret.
"Well, although the elixir can quickly cultivate mana, there are also many disadvantages. The erysipelas contained in the elixir can make a monk's qualifications decline invisibly, and in the long run, the possibility of diligent improvement is almost eliminated.
The Aiki Pill of Jade Xuanzong is indeed very good, claiming to contain no erysipelas, but you must know that as long as it is an elixir, it will contain some erysipelas to a greater or lesser extent, otherwise why don't you see the people of Jade Xuanzong eating that Aiki Pill all day long. ”
"The Purple Qi Pill of this sect also contains some erysipelas, so the disciples of the sect are generally only used to assist in cultivation and speed up their cultivation. Although Juyuan Dan has the effect of breaking through the bottleneck, the erysipelas contained in it is not trivial, although it is not much, but it is quite difficult to solve, which will leave hidden dangers. Do you know the disadvantages of taking pills?"
"When the apprentice knows, he must remember the teachings of the master. Down-to-earth cultivation. Zhang Yifan bowed down to be taught.
"Well, you know it. It's not that you won't be allowed to take pills, everything has a degree, just look at it, don't rely on pills to cultivate. After you succeed in building the foundation, the teacher will ask the sect for a pure pill to dissolve erysipelas. Xu Ziwu saw Zhang Yifan's sincere attitude, and his heart eased. He also understood the feelings of those monks with poor qualifications, and no one wanted to stay at the low-level monk stage all the time.
"Thank you, Master!"
"Okay, let's go down. ”
