About half an hour had passed, and by the time Huan Yin stopped, he had already turned around the second floor of the Nine-Storied Pagoda. Although the second layer is much larger than the first layer, and there are more classics in it, Huan Yin still hasn't found a book he hasn't read.

Huan Yin was already on the verge of going crazy, and he spent a full nine hundred spirit stones, but he didn't get anything. Although he has a lot of spirit stones now, after all, he is a disciple who came out of the poor Sword Pavilion, how can he not cherish the spirit stones?

In Huan Yin's heart, he was facing an unprecedented challenge, he had to achieve the name of an instrument master before the age of fifteen, which was something that even the Lan Yanzi Ancestor of Yijian Peak could not do. Therefore, he has always felt that the knowledge he knows now is far from enough to pass the selection test, and his desire to learn is extremely strong. He longed to be able to read all the books in the world so that he would feel a little at ease. It is precisely because of this that Huan Yin has always felt that he has read too few classics.

However, how did he know that in fact, the number of classics he had read in the Infinite Gate was extremely large. And Huan Yin has a high level of understanding since he was a child, extremely intelligent, and almost has the ability to never forget, so the content he watched was left in his heart. This is also the reason why Huan Yin can even surpass the older generation of craftsmen like Zhao Hu in terms of material recognition.

So, in fact, it was normal for Huan Yin to not find the classics he was looking for in the first two floors of the nine-storied pagoda, but he didn't realize it at all.

Huan Yin once again took out 1,200 spirit stones and walked towards the light curtain of the second layer, he wanted to go to the third layer to take a look, he had already spent a full nine hundred spirit stones, he didn't want to spend them in vain.

At this moment, there were two monks from the First Sword Peak who followed Huan Yin from the first floor of the Nine-Storied Pagoda to the second floor, and they saw Huan Yin "wandering" around the first floor, and then took out the spirit stone and went up to the current second floor. But before they could react, Huan Yin actually took out more spirit stones and walked towards the third layer of light curtain. And just now they clearly saw that this "foreign participation in the test and casual cultivation" was only "hanging out" on the second floor.

The two monks looked at Huan Yin, shook their heads constantly, and said something from time to time, obviously feeling extremely disdainful of Huan Yin's approach.

Huan Yin naturally didn't care what the people around him thought of him, and half an hour later, he was already standing in front of the light curtain on the third floor of the nine-storied pagoda again. This time, he still had nothing to gain on the third layer.

Huan Yin felt as if he had fallen into a trap, the spirit stones he had invested before had not brought him any gains, if he didn't continue to pay spirit stones to enter the next layer, then he would really become a "wealth boy" today, and he would have gone to the nine-storied pagoda to contribute to Yijian Peak.

However, if he still wants to go to the upper level to take a look, then the next thing he needs to pay will be an even more amazing number of spirit stones, this number of spirit stones, even if he is now, he has to feel a little hesitant. Especially when he thought that he might still gain nothing if he went to the next level, his mood became more and more entangled.

"I didn't expect the nine-storied pagoda of Yangzhou's largest faction to be so pitiful! Coming here today, I was really completely calculated by Yijian Peak! I waited for foreign monks, are we really so easy to oppress?" Huan was depressed in his heart, but he couldn't say what he was suffering.

Finally, the surrounding disciples of Yijian Peak blushed in front of the light curtain on the third layer because of this "foreign participation in the test and scattered cultivation", hesitated for a long time, and finally snorted and turned to leave. The disciples of Yijian Peak around them were all disdainful when they saw Huan Yin leaving, thinking that this foreign cultivator wanted to read at the upper level but couldn't take out the spirit stone, so what was the secret comparison in front of that light curtain?

In the afternoon of this day, Huan Yin came to the small courtyard where Zhao Hu lived with extreme unhappiness. When Zhao Wei introduced Huan Yin into the door, he saw that his face was gloomy, and he asked, "Fellow practitioner Huan, what's wrong with you?

Huan Yin was still a child, and when he got angry all his life, he still had a bit of a childish nature. I saw that he was angry with Zhao Wei: "The nine-storied pagoda of your Yijian Peak is really a pit person, especially a loose cultivator like us, and it is even more of a pit to death." ”

Next, Huan Yin told Zhao Wei about his encounter with going to the Nine-Storied Pagoda today. Rao is Zhao Wei has lived for more than 70 years, and he still can't help but laugh after listening to Huan Yin's words.

At the end, when the look on Huan Yin's face became more depressed, and Zhao Wei was almost smiling, he said, "Fellow practitioner Huan, do you know why this nine-storied pagoda is set up as a nine-storied pagoda?"

Huan Yin shook his head and said, "I want to hear about it." ”

Zhao Wei said: "In the sword casting system of my First Sword Peak, we classify the grade of the sword we have made into nine grades. Generally speaking, ordinary craftsmen can cast one-to-three-grade immortal swords, and if they are experienced, they can also cast four-grade immortal swords. If you are an instrument master who has already touched the threshold of the realm of the Venerable, you can even cast a five-grade immortal sword!"

"And if you really step into the realm of Qizun, most of the swords you become are in the sixth or seventh grade. There are powerful artifact venerables, and when they encounter good sword-casting materials, they can occasionally cast eight-grade immortal swords! As for the nine-grade immortal sword, only the Lan Yanzi ancestor who can be worthy of the title of artifact immortal can cast it in my first sword peak. ”

"As the selection of the appraisers of my First Sword Peak has been recognized by more and more colleagues in Kyushu, the grade division of our fairy sword has become more and more accepted by all of you. ”

"So, the reason why the Nine-Storied Pagoda is divided into nine layers is because it is based on the grade division of the immortal sword of your sect?" Huan Yin said after taking Zhao Wei's words.

Zhao Wei nodded: "Yes, in fact, the number of classics in the nine-storied pagoda will increase a little with each floor, and the grade of the classics will be higher, and the knowledge recorded will be deeper." According to the old man's knowledge, he has almost finished reading the first four layers of the nine-storied pagoda, and in the old man's opinion, Huan Fellow Initiates may have to go up to the sixth floor to find a suitable classic to read. ”

Huan Yin nodded: "I see, I see." ”

However, he immediately thought of something again, and said with a surprised expression: "Then according to the meaning of Senior Zhao, doesn't it mean that I have to pay spirit stones layer by layer every time, and I can only go up to the sixth layer to read the classics?

Zhao Wei laughed and said, "Didn't Ji Cangqiong tell you, in addition to paying spirit stones, can you also enter the nine-storied pagoda by challenging the assessment of each floor?"

Huan Yin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "By the way, he said that there is an assessment on each floor, and as long as you pass, you can enter and exit the nine-storied pagoda at will." ”

Zhao Wei nodded: "That's it, with your knowledge, why do you have to pay spirit stones to enter the tower?"

Huan Yin was surprised: "Senior Zhao, what is the assessment in the Nine-Storied Pagoda?"

"The assessment in the nine-storied pagoda is what you are best at. Knowledge is the foundation of my generation's instrument cultivation, and it is also the most relevant knowledge to the classics. Therefore, when I made a sword peak cultivator, my ancestor set a rule when he became a tower, and the trial in the nine-storied pagoda was to test his teaching and knowledge. ”

"Zhao is not talented, and he has not yet passed the fifth level of assessment. But in my opinion, fellow practitioner Huan, there should be no problem if you want to pass the assessment of the first six layers. The assessment in the nine-storied pagoda can be carried out at any time, as long as you press your hand on the light curtain that you put into the spirit stone, and send out the divine thoughts, fellow practitioner Huan, why don't you try it?"

......

The next day, Huan Yin came to the nine-storied pagoda again. Today, he is here to challenge, he doesn't want to take out another spirit stone, he wants to get all yesterday's back.

Huan Yin quickly walked to the light curtain on the first floor of the nine-storied pagoda, and then he stretched out his left hand and pressed it towards the light curtain.

At this moment, no one cares about Huan Yin's actions at all, because there are too many people passing through the first floor of the Nine-Storied Pagoda, and too many people will come to challenge it every day, and no one will take the people who challenge the first floor of the Nine-Storied Pagoda in their eyes.

Besides, Huan Yin, after he pressed his hand on the light curtain, he sent out a divine thought to the light curtain that he wanted to challenge, and then a suction force that was exactly the same as yesterday hit, and he was immediately pulled into the light curtain.

This time, when Huan Yin reappeared, he was not in an attic full of bookshelves like yesterday, but in a pitch-black nothingness.

After Huan Yin opened his eyes, he waited for a while, and suddenly a little starlight flickered out of thin air from the endless darkness from a distance, and at the same time, a voice without the slightest emotion also sounded in his head:

"In the test of the first layer of the nine-storied pagoda, there are 3,000 castings, and if you recognize 300, you will be considered to have passed. The assessment begins!"

As soon as the voice fell, the starlight that was still flickering in the distance suddenly flew towards Huan Yin. Soon, the things in the starlight appeared in front of Huan Yin's eyes—they were the materials for forging swords.

After these materials flew to the place three feet in front of Huan Yin, they all stopped in the air one after another. In a few breaths, there was a large area of various sword-casting materials in front of Huan Yin's eyes, no more, no less, exactly three thousand.

Huan Yin stretched out his hand, and the first of the bottom row of all the materials flew into his hand. He took this black thing and smiled bitterly: "This is the test for the first level of trial?"

Then, his divine thought conveyed like a void: "Refined iron, the land of Kyushu is produced, and it is extremely common. It is relatively hard in nature and has poor toughness, which is the most basic sword casting material. ”

The thing in Huan Yin's hand was the material he had learned from Duan Yun before he had cultivated, refined iron. This kind of thing is too common, and there is no difficulty for Huan Yin at all.

After Huan Yin's divine thought came out, the fine iron in his hand suddenly changed and turned into a classic book with a blue cover, and there were two neat small characters on the cover - fine iron.

Then Huan Yin stretched out his hand and sent it, and the book that had been conjured up in Huan Yin's hand flew back to the place where the fine iron was originally floating, and was refixed there.
