Chapter 143: The Contest Begins

In the three days after Huan Yin made a bet with Meng Li, he still repeated the efforts he would make every day, except for the changes brought by the best phantom furnace, there was no difference, and it seemed that his state of mind was not affected by the covenant with Meng Li at all.

What Meng Li and Huan Yin compare is strength, it is the accumulation of weekdays, and three days will not bring any change to the results of the competition. Even if Huan Yin's newly obtained phantom furnace had five million materials, it was impossible for Huan Yin to master how much in three days, so even if Meng Li knew that Huan Yin had obtained the phantom furnace, it would still be three days later.

Meng Li understood the truth, Huan Yin naturally understood, so he kept himself in a state of mind like water. Now that the strength has been set and the mood is stable, it is best to be able to play normally.

Different from Huan Yin's calmness, there was a news that spread wildly in Yijian Peak in the past few days, and it almost reached the point where everyone knew about it within three days. This news is the matter of Huan Yin and Meng Li's appointment to break into the seventh floor of the nine-storied pagoda together.

The first time Huan Yin knew the news was when he went to the sixth floor of the Nine-Storied Pagoda to look through the classics and heard the people next to him whispering, talking about his competition with Meng Li. Of course, as the news spread more and more, more people came directly to Huan Yin to ask.

It seems that this news should be propagated by Meng Li himself, because Huan Yin is not a publicist person, it is impossible to talk about this matter to the outside world, and Ji Cangqiong is even more unlikely to talk about this matter. Meng Li spread the news, apparently hoping to achieve his own fame by defeating Huan Yin, but this also shows that Meng Li is extremely confident.

The reason why the news of Huan Yin and Meng Li could go viral to this extent in three days was because they were going to compete with the seventh-story nine-storied pagoda. The seventh floor of the nine-storied pagoda is already the penultimate floor. People who have been able to make a name on this level throughout the ages. Less than a hundred. And there are only three people who can leave their names on it. Therefore, the difficulty of this layer is far from being comparable before, and the monks who break into this layer of the tower will cause many people to stop and watch at any time.

The second reason is Meng Li and Huan Yin themselves. Meng Li is an outstanding instrument master of Yijian Peak, with excellent talent, and is quite praised by the sect and respected by the sect and the instrument cultivation in the door, Meng Li has many followers in the Yijian Peak Gate. Huan Yin didn't say much about it. His limelight in Yijian Peak can now be said to be unsurpassed. Therefore, the competition between Meng Li and Huan Yin will naturally arouse everyone's great interest.

Because of the viral spread of the news, Huan Yin gradually learned about Meng Li's strength again from the side. It is said that Meng Li had already passed the sixth floor of the Nine-Storied Pagoda three years ago, and he had not broken through the seventh floor so far, because he had set his goal this time at the level of recognizing all the materials of the seventh layer. For this reason, Meng Li continued to read various classics to increase his knowledge, and his three years of preparation were all for the seventh floor of the nine-storied pagoda. Therefore, Huan Yin can be said to have hit the tip of Meng Li's sword this time.

Not only that, Huan Yin also learned about Meng Li, a cultivator. One of his best skills in sword-forging was the ability to read materials. Meng Li never forgets it, and he is well-read and has a strong memory. I am afraid that the materials in his chest have already exceeded a million, and even the few new entrants in the First Sword Peak Sect are not as high as Meng Li's knowledge and attainments.

Three days passed in a flash, and early in the morning, Ji Cangqiong waited outside Huan Yin's small courtyard with all the scattered cultivators. Ji Cangqiong knew very well in his heart that Huan Yin was not only a strong opponent this time, but also a bigger bet, so he brought all the loose cultivation to help Huan Yin.

Huan Yin pushed open the door and saw the crowd at the door, and he couldn't help but feel moved. I don't know when he, a foreign participant in the test, also has a real foothold in Yijian Peak, and there are people who are willing to stand behind him to support him.

Huan Yin hugged his fists and bowed to all the initiates in the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, and walked towards the direction of the nine-storied pagoda with everyone.

Huan Yin and Meng Li arrived almost at the same time, and both of them were very punctual. When they came to the outside of the nine-storied pagoda, it was already full of monks who came to see the competition between the two, and many of them directly cheered for Huan Yin or Meng Li.

Meng Li was still so arrogant, he saw Huan Yin coming, and whispered in a provocative tone: "Others don't know our bets, but you and I know it in our hearts." I'm really flattered that you can come and give me the best magic furnace today. ”

Huan Yin glanced at him coldly: "You didn't break your oath and privately copy the "Lane Yan Sutra", right? After today, you will never see this scripture again, I heard that you are well-read and memorized, I don't know how many percent of the content of the esoteric "Lane Yan Sutra" you have memorized?"

Meng Li didn't expect Huan Yin to be so eloquent, his face flashed, and he snorted: "Let's go, speak with strength!" Then, he turned around and walked towards the nine-storied pagoda.

"Brother Huan, normal heart. Your strength must be above him. Ji Cangqiong whispered to Huan Yin.

Huan Yin nodded, bowed to Ji Cangqiong and the scattered cultivators again, and also walked into the nine-storied pagoda.

Today, there are a lot of repairs on the sixth floor of the nine-storied pagoda, and even a few repairs on the seventh floor are still in the sixth floor. The purpose of their coming here was to witness the duel between Meng Li and Huan Yin with their own eyes. For almost all the instrument cultivators of the sixth and seventh layers, Meng Li and Huan Yin were considered their juniors.

Compared with a peerless young man from outside, they all want to know whether it is the first sword peak's intellectual attainments to be the best in the world, or the world's greatness, all-encompassing.

After Huan Yin and Meng Li went up to the sixth floor, they glanced at each other again, walked through the crowd and bookshelves on the sixth floor, walked to the light curtain and stretched out their hands to press it.

After Huan Yin and Meng Li disappeared from everyone's eyes, Huan Yin once again came to the familiar nine-storied pagoda assessment world.

"In the test of the seventh floor of the nine-storied pagoda, the casting material is one million, and if you recognize 500,000, you will be considered to have passed. The assessment begins!"

As the sound sounded, Huan Yin's eyes were gradually filled with dense sword-casting materials. The seventh-floor test of the nine-storied pagoda required a total of 500,000 materials to be recognized, and this number has reached fifty percent of the total number of materials here, so it is no wonder that this layer is so difficult to pass.

But today, Meng Li and Huan Yin are more likely to recognize each other, not whether they pass or not. Therefore, the difficulty of the competition between the two of them is much higher than the assessment at this level.

At this moment, with the appearance of Huan Yin and Meng Li in the assessment place, on the pillar of light on the right side of the nine-storied pagoda, representing the seventh layer, suddenly a strong light dispersed and shot into the sky.

Although this light was not as strong as when it passed the examination, it was enough to attract the attention of all the onlookers here. After the light rushed into the sky, it suddenly split in two, and finally two light curtains were created in the air.

These two light curtains clearly showed the scene of the assessment place where Huan Yin and Meng Li were located. Although the onlookers couldn't see what the specific content of the assessment was, they could see every move of the two, and even how successful they were and how many materials they had identified.

There is a rule in the assessment of the last three floors of the nine-storied pagoda, that is, the pillar of light that represents this layer will project the image of the person who is participating in the assessment for outsiders to see.

The purpose of this regulation is actually to allow the junior cultivators of Yijian Peak to be able to see with their own eyes the demeanor of their predecessors who are powerful and break into the tower, and to understand and learn in order to make greater progress. In this light curtain, the onlookers can see the movements of the people who break through the level, so the people who break through the level are as if they are demonstrating and teaching.

But now, because the cultivators who can enter this light curtain are all amazing and glamorous, even if they are not cultivators, they will occasionally come here to take a look at the excitement and see the demeanor of the masters.

"Senior Brother, who do you say is the best Senior Brother Huan or Senior Brother Meng?" a young disciple who was watching looked at the light curtain and asked the senior brother beside him.

"I believe in the way of sword forging of my First Sword Peak, not to mention that Meng Li is a recognized leader of my generation, and I know his strength. He had been preparing for the seventh floor of the Nine-Storied Pagoda for three whole years, and there was no way he could lose. Maybe he could recognize all the million materials. The man called "Senior Brother" replied.

"This senior brother, I think that if you are too superstitious about the strength of your own sect, you will fall behind and become a frog at the bottom of the well. Although Huan Xiaoxiu is young, he has surpassed the achievements of Lan Yanzi's ancestor in one fell swoop, and his knowledge and attainments are probably not under Meng Li. "In the crowd of Yijian Peak, there are even people who speak for Huan Yin.

"Hmph, I remember that it was enough to recognize 100,000 through the 6th layer, which was 500,000 materials, and this time they recognized more than anyone. Mo said that what was required through this layer was 500,000, even if Na Huan Yin recognized 800,000, as long as Meng Li recognized 810,000, Na Huan Yin would also lose!" At the beginning, the person did not relent.

......

As soon as Huan Yin and Meng Li entered the assessment place of the seventh layer, there were bursts of discussion among the onlookers, and the supporters of Huan Yin and Meng Li were almost arguing. This scene makes people feel that the onlookers outside are competing, not Huan Yin and Meng Li.

At this moment, on the Tongtian Peak, which is far away from here, Lan Tongtian, who is dressed in blue, is standing on the edge of a cliff, raising his eyes and looking out, and the direction he is looking at is the side of the Nine-Storied Pagoda.

Lan Yu stood beside his grandfather and said with a smile on his face: "Grandpa, I've heard that Senior Brother Huan's sword-forging attainments are amazing, and even Grandpa Lan Yanzi's achievements have surpassed him." Grandpa, you are not allowed to play tricks on Yu'er. ”

Lan Tongtian turned his face to look at his granddaughter, and smiled kindly: "Grandpa, I will still play tricks on you dolls?" But what this Huan Yin did was really unexpected, and this time he reached such a high level of sword forging within a year, how did he do it? No wonder Senior Brother Xuanyuan told me that this Huan Yin can't be regarded with common sense. That's it, the stronger he is, the more relieved I am if you follow him. ”

When Lan Yu heard his grandfather's words, his face turned red, and he said "grace" softly. (To be continued.) )

PS: I still seem to have the energy to write, so I continued to code after eating. But the release is estimated to be around one o'clock in the middle of the night, so let's get up tomorrow morning and watch it!
