Chapter 131: Hanging Out

Huan Yin won the literary battle with Zhao Hu, and also won the respect of Zhao Hu and all the loose cultivators in the valley. A strong person is respected everywhere, whether it is strong or strong.

From that day on, Zhao Wei would come to the valley every day to give lectures for two hours for all the loose cultivators, rain or shine, and he didn't take a penny. He really admired Huan Yin, so he completely kept the promise he made.

Huan Yin would also go to the valley every day to listen to Zhao Hu's lectures, and he had to admit that Zhao Hu's sword-casting attainments were far above Xu Yin's, and Zhao Hu's knowledge benefited him a lot, especially about the experience of sword casting and the control of flames.

When Zhao Wei talked about materials, he would always ask Huan Yin to go to the hillside to share some of his own opinions, because he felt that Huan Yin's understanding of materials was far better than his. In this way, Huan Yin occasionally acted as a lecturer for the various monks, imparting knowledge to them.

Not only in the valley, but Zhao Wei would often talk to Huan Yin privately about forging swords. The two sympathized with each other, and sometimes even had long conversations, which allowed them to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and both made great progress.

Soon, Huan Yin's first month in Yijian Peak passed. Now, Huan Yin has completely established himself in Yijian Peak, and he has made great progress in this month.

However, Huan Yin gradually became distressed by the lack of classics and the inability to operate them. Let's take the classics first, the books he brought from the Immeasurable Gate are about to be finished, which is like a disaster for someone like him, who has to read books for several hours every day. After all, he can achieve so much in terms of knowledge, all because of his extensive reading, if he stops, his progress will also stagnate.

In terms of practical operation, this is a very important exercise for the sword-maker. Because sword forging is a practice in itself, if it is separated from practice, then learning will be a mere formality, only existing on paper. You must know that the selection test of the instrumentaturist will definitely teach sword casting. But so far, except for the occasional invitation from Zhao Wei to try sword casting, it is difficult for Huan Yin to have the opportunity to actually operate.

Finally, on this day, Huan Yin asked Ji Cangqiong where Yijian Peak collected the classics, and then set off - he decided to solve the problem of his lack of classics first.

According to Ji Cangqiong, the texts of Yijian Peak about sword forging are all included in the nine-storied pagoda of the fourth order. This nine-storied pagoda, as you can tell from the name, has nine floors.

When the Nine-Storied Pagoda was just completed, it was originally directly open to all the disciples of the First Sword Peak, after all, the disciples' willingness to study the classics was something that the sect should encourage. However, as the First Sword Peak grew stronger and stronger, the number of disciples of the First Sword Peak became more and more amazing, and the sword forging classics in the Nine-Storied Pagoda became more and more sought-after.

Until I don't know when it began, there was a situation where a disciple of Yijian Peak borrowed the classics in the nine-storied pagoda and did not return them, resulting in the loss of some of the classics in the nine-storied pagoda, so the sect master of Yijian Peak was furious, and since then he has ordered strict supervision of the nine-storied pagoda, in which the classics can only be read in the tower, and they are not allowed to be borrowed. Moreover, all the disciples of Yijian Peak who wanted to read the classics needed to pay a certain amount of spirit stones.

According to the regulations, if a disciple of Yijian Peak wants to enter the first layer to read the classics, he needs to pay three spirit stones on weekdays. Then from the second layer onwards, the spirit stones that need to be paid are doubled layer by layer. Originally, such a fee was not high, but Yijian Peak wanted to ensure that all the disciples who entered the tower to borrow the classics were really in need, rather than occupying the classics for no reason.

However, because every time before the selection of the instrumentalist, the nine-storied pagoda has become a treasure place for the disciples who participate in the examination and the foreign cultivators, which makes the pressure on the nine-storied pagoda increase sharply. So Yijian Peak issued another regulation, all the disciples of Yijian Peak who wanted to enter the nine-storied pagoda within two years before the selection of the instrument master needed to pay ten times the amount of spirit stones equivalent to normal times before they could enter the tower to watch the classics for an hour.

Such a regulation made the disciples of Yijian Peak immediately feel the pressure. After all, it costs ten times as many spirit stones, and there is a time limit of one hour, so the price of looking through the classics is too high. Especially those high-level classics, if you want to go in and see them, it costs a lot of spirit stones.

Originally, the above regulation was already very harsh, but this regulation was only aimed at the disciples of Yijian Peak. And if it is a "foreign participation in the test and casual cultivation" who wants to enter the nine-storied pagoda to look through the classics, the regulations of Yijian Peak require their efforts to be increased tenfold!

In this way, casual cultivation needs to look through the classics, and the amount of spirit stones that need to be paid is a hundred times that of a disciple of Yijian Peak who looks through the classics on weekdays! Such a regulation can almost be said to completely block the way of casual cultivation, because most of the scattered cultivators are poor, and the attainment of sword forging is poor. What they needed most was the classics, but they simply couldn't afford it. This is also why Ji Cangqiong wants to gather these scattered cultivators together to borrow classics, because in this way they can have a little hope.

However, there is still a way for people to enter the tower and borrow the classics without paying any spirit stones. And there is no identity limit and no time limit. In other words, as long as the conditions for using this method are met, anyone can enter and exit the nine-storied pagoda at will.

Yijian Peak stipulates that no matter who can pass the assessment of a certain layer and obtain the approval of the Nine-Storied Pagoda, they can freely enter and exit that floor. In other words, if you pass the assessment of the first floor of the nine-storied pagoda, you can enter the first floor at will. And if you pass the assessment of the ninth floor, then you can pass the entire nine-storied pagoda at will.

Such a regulation shows Yijian Peak's respect and respect for the capable, and it is actually an encouragement for the cultivation of instrumental science. Encourage them to improve themselves, as long as they are strong enough, the nine-storied pagoda will no longer be a place for them to spend spirit stones, but a reward.

Huan Yin asked Ji Cangqiong what the assessment in the nine-storied pagoda was, but Ji Cangqiong didn't know it, because he didn't think about taking the assessment at all, after all, he knew that his ability was insufficient.

Soon, Huan Yin came to the place where the fourth-order nine-storied pagoda of Yijian Peak was located. As far as the eye can see, a cyan pagoda with no top height stands, and around this pagoda, there are nine pillars of light around.

Of these nine pillars of light, eight are on both sides of the pagoda. The four pillars of light on the left are white, while the four on the right are blue, and in each of these eight pillars of light, there is a lot of text flowing in the middle. Huan Yin looked at it and found that those words were all people's names. The number of names in different pillars of light is different, and the white pillar of light on the left contains much more names than the blue pillar on the right.

However, the most special thing is the golden pillar of light in front of the pagoda, which is more than three times thicker than the other eight pillars of light, but there is only one name floating inside.

Those were three big words - Lan Yanzi.

Huan Yin was deeply shocked by the magnificence of the Yijian Peak Book Collection Pagoda, and he looked at it for a while, and he didn't know if he was secretly comparing the book collection place of the Infinite Gate with the nine-storied pagoda in front of him. Then he took a deep breath and headed for the bottom of the tower.

Approaching, the ever-changing light curtain at the tower gate and the three golden "nine-storied pagoda" characters on the tower gate met Huan Yin's eyes. He walked to the light curtain, and according to the method that Ji Cangqiong told him, he took out three hundred spirit stones and put them into the light curtain, and then there was a suction force that passed on his body.

Huan Yin saw a flower in front of him, and the person had disappeared outside the tower gate in an instant. When he saw the scene in front of him again, he was already on the first floor of the nine-storied pagoda.

The place where Huan Yin appeared was in the center of the first floor, and around him, there were bookshelves, so that his gaze was blocked by the layers of bookshelves and it was difficult to look away. Even the floor above Huan Yin's head is made into a book grid, and many books are stuck in the grid, as long as you stretch out your hand, they will fall into your hand.

From time to time, a few monks who came here to look through the classics walked past Huan Yin, and they all cast strange glances at Huan Yin. Because the monks around Huan Yin were all wearing the clothes of the disciples of Yijian Peak, none of them were casual cultivators. I'm afraid that in the hearts of these disciples of Yijian Peak, they either feel that Huan Yin is a big wrongdoer, or they simply look down on Huan Yin. After all, in the mind of a sword peak cultivator, the level of foreign scattered cultivation is too low, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

Huan Yin ignored the eyes of the people around him, he spent three hundred spirit stones to enter this place, but he didn't come to hang out. Although three hundred spirit stones were nothing to him, he knew that he only had one hour.

Huan Yin began to walk, as he walked, his eyes kept sweeping around him and the top of his head, he wanted to find the classics he needed, and then hurry up to read them.

However, Huan Yin walked around this place full of bookshelves and books for a moment, but he didn't find a single book that he hadn't read. Although this place is not small, although there are a lot of books here, Huan Yin has read them all!

Huan Yin's face was a little ugly, because he was about to walk all over the place, but he didn't find anything. If there really wasn't the book he wanted here, then wouldn't he really spend three hundred spirit stones to hang out here?

The surrounding disciples of Yijian Peak saw that Huan kept spinning in this layer because of this "foreign participation in the test and scattered cultivation", but they never took a book and looked through it, and their eyes showed a trace of disdain.

In their opinion, it's just that this casual cultivator doesn't cherish his spirit stone and time, and he doesn't look at anything when he enters the tower, isn't this an insult to knowledge?

"This initiate, if you don't read, please go out from here. This is a place for us to increase our knowledge, not a market for wandering. Finally, a slightly older middle-aged female cultivator couldn't help it anymore and accused Huan Yin.

Huan Yin looked at her and was stunned for a moment. He found that he seemed to have been misunderstood, but he himself couldn't say it, because he had just walked through all the places, but he didn't find a single book that he hadn't read, how could this be good?

Huan Yin smiled apologetically at the female cultivator, and then he was ruthless in his heart, and took out six hundred spirit stones and walked towards the light curtain leading to the second layer.

It's all here, how can you go home empty-handed?
