Chapter 146: The Old Man
Finally, when the early sun rose, Huan Yin in the light curtain understood the last material in his hand, and he took the classic book from the material change and read it carefully, and stood up.
A million kinds of materials, all of which were correctly identified.
Meng Li stared blankly at Huan Yin in the canopy, and his mind was blank at the moment. The impotent that he thought he had planned seamlessly was completely shattered in the face of Huan Yin's absolute strength.
"I actually spent 1.5 million spirit stones to buy a copy of the "Flame Sutra" for a small casual cultivator, haha...... Ha. Meng Li's voice was very low, but the sadness and regret in it were extremely heavy.
At this moment, there was silence outside the nine-storied pagoda, and no one made a sound because Huan had finished his identification. These people have either already realized and have already bowed deeply in the direction of the nine-storied pagoda and the canopy where Huan Yin is located, or they are still immersed in their understanding.
Huan Yin finally glanced at the million books in front of him with satisfaction, as if recalling his nearly all-day efforts, then he nodded and turned to go out.
When Huan Yin's figure appeared outside the gate of the nine-storied pagoda, whether it was a monk who had already completed his comprehension or someone who was still comprehending, they all put away their minds and looked at Huan Yin.
"Master Huan, the grace of teaching, don't forget it!" A uniform voice came from the endless sea of people outside the nine-storied pagoda.
......
Huan Yin's competition with Meng Li was over, and he won the competition with an absolute advantage, won the "Lane Yan Sutra", and won the respect of many Yijian Peak Weapon Cultivators. From that day on, no one called Huan because of "minor repairs". Those with relatively low seniority will call him "master". Even if it's a bit older. will still call Huan Yin a sentence of "fellow practitioner".
Now it has only been more than half a year since the selection of the appraiser of Yijian Peak, but fortunately, Huan Yin has Zhao Wei to teach him experience on weekdays, and the nine-storied pagoda provides him with enough classics to read, and there is the best magic furnace for him to practice, and there are "Burning Sutra" and "Infinite Sword". Therefore, the current Huan Yin can be said to be ready for everything, as long as he works hard enough, he may really be able to pass the appraiser selection test.
Huan Yin naturally works hard enough. His life of sleeping less than an hour a day has never changed, and he often forgets the time of sword casting in the furnace for several days without sleeping.
However, in addition to strengthening his own cultivation, Huan Yin did not forget the Scattered Cultivation Alliance. For him, the Loose Cultivation Alliance was his foundation in Yijian Peak and his belonging, so he sincerely hoped that every Loose Cultivator could pass the Instrument Master Selection Exam.
Every day, Huan Yin would talk to the people in the valley where Zhao Wei was lecturing about his understanding of sword casting, especially his perception of knowledge. Not only that, but he also did his best to help every cultivator who went to the nine-storied pagoda of Yijian Peak, so that they could see the books they needed as they wished.
Huan Yin's knowledge is profound, and he already knows something about the nine-storied pagoda. With his help, after half a year, all the scattered cultivators really broke into the nine-storied pagoda. Among them, the highest number of floors has reached the fourth floor. The lowest has also entered the first layer. As a result, there was a phenomenon in the nine-storied pagoda of Yijian Peak that had never appeared before, that is, there were often hundreds of outsiders participating in the test at the same time in and out of the tower.
In such a busy life, time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, there is only more than a month left before the selection of the appraiser.
On this day, Huan Yin walked into the seventh floor of the Nine-Storied Pagoda as usual, but he didn't pick up any of the books here, but walked straight to the light curtain on this floor. Although Huan Yin could predict that the eighth layer would be more difficult than ever, he still decided to break through. He wanted to know where his current limit was, and he wanted to take a look at it from above.
Throughout the ages, there have only been nine people who have passed the eighth layer assessment of the nine-storied pagoda, and it is said that there are already four Dao Meteors among them, so in fact, there are only five people who can really go up to the eighth layer without consuming spirit stones. These five people, except for Lan Yanzi, who is a tool immortal, the others are all the older generation of the One Sword Peak, and they are the ancestors and heritage of the One Sword Peak. Therefore, those who can pass this level of assessment can no longer be described by the word "master" alone, they at least deserve the word "ancestor".
The reason why only a character like the "Patriarch" can pass the eighth layer of the nine-storied pagoda is because there are a total of five million materials in this layer of the test, and in order to pass, at least four million materials need to be identified. Not only that, but the materials in this layer are all rare, and even many of them are like Bamboo King, which has never been recorded in any classics.
This time, Huan Yin stayed in the nine-storied pagoda for three full days.
In the past three days, there have been people who have been getting the news and rushed to the nine-storied pagoda, and in the end, even as long as they can see the light curtain where Huan Yin is from afar, there will be people staying there.
The current Huan Yin has the name of a master in Yijian Peak, and he is even more famous, so his every move will attract the attention of many people. And this time, Huan Yin is challenging the eighth layer of the Nine-Storied Pagoda, which is equivalent to challenging the ancestors of the First Sword Peak, so these monks who rushed here want to take a look at what kind of results Huan Yin, who has perfectly passed the assessment of the seventh layer of the Nine-Storied Pagoda, can give in the assessment of the eighth layer.
Not only that, the difficulty of the eighth layer of the nine-storied pagoda is well known, so everyone knows that Huan Yin will definitely use the way of enlightenment repeatedly in the eighth layer, and it will continue to be in this state for a long time, this is a rare opportunity for them to perceive.
Finally, three days later, Huan Yin did his limit and left the nine-storied pagoda. Huan Yin passed, but this time, he was not able to make it perfect.
Five million kinds of materials is too much, and Huan knows less than two million kinds without relying on Wu Cai, so for him, there are more than three million kinds of materials that need to rely on Wu Cai to be able to identify.
However, Huan Yin's way of understanding materials has not reached the realm of no material, and if he encounters extremely rare and difficult to understand materials, he still can't distinguish them. And in the eighth layer, there are quite a few such materials. Not only that, the consumption of Wucai's energy on the monk is far more than relying on memory to identify materials, even if Huan Yin's mind is the best, but such a huge amount of materials needs him to perceive, and he can't bear it after all. Huan Yin was able to persist in the assessment for three whole days without sleep, and finally passed the assessment, which is already very good.
Through this breakthrough, Huan Yin realized the importance of accumulation. Although the realm of enlightenment is unfathomable, it requires a lot of energy and time from the person who knows the material, and the monk's energy is limited after all. Therefore, accumulation is the foundation of knowledge, and understanding can only be the sublimation after accumulation is sufficient.
Since Huan Yin broke into the eighth floor of the nine-storied pagoda, he would occasionally go to the eighth floor to take a look. This layer is completely different from the previous seven layers. This floor is not large, about the same size as the main hall of the Sword Pavilion, and there is not even a bookshelf in this floor, there are only dense small characters floating on the surrounding walls and in the air. If you look closely at these small characters, you will see that they are all the names of the classics. If you want to read a book, just move your mind slightly, and the book will fall into your hands.
When Huan Yin came to the eighth floor of the nine-storied pagoda two times before, there was no one else here. But there is no one here, but it should be normal, after all, there are only five people who can go up here except for Huan Yin, and these five people are probably all elders of Yijian Peak, how can this kind of character be so easy to encounter?
Today, it's the third time Huan Yin has come to the eighth floor of the Nine-Storied Pagoda. As soon as he entered, he saw an old man with a white beard sitting cross-legged on the ground, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was meditating. This old man has a calm face, and there is an indescribable temperament revealed, which makes people feel a sense of closeness at first sight.
Huan Yin knew that this old man must be one of the five sword-casting ancestors of Yijian Peak, so he didn't dare to disturb the slightest, but bowed lightly to the old man very respectfully, and then turned around to look for the classics he wanted to read.
However, Huan Yin doesn't know what's wrong, he has always completely forgotten the outside world when he holds the classics, but he can't calm down and read books today. He would always unconsciously look at the old man with his knees crossed, as if the intimacy exuded by the old man made Huan Yin irresistible.
Later, the inexplicable feeling in Huan Yin's heart became stronger and stronger, and he began to have all kinds of guesses about this old man in his heart, and he even found that this old man seemed a little strange. Because the eighth floor of the nine-storied pagoda is not a place with abundant spiritual energy, people who come here want to increase their knowledge, how can anyone come here to meditate and cultivate?
Huan Yin suddenly had a ridiculous idea in his heart, that is, this old man came here to wait for him. Finally, Huan Yin couldn't help but walk over to the old man, and then he bowed respectfully to the old man: "Boy Huan Yin, I've seen my predecessors." ”
When the old man heard Huan Yin salute him, his slightly closed eyes opened, and he nodded to Huan Yin with a kind face: "Young talent, not bad." ”
The old man's voice had a peculiar rhythm and sonorous intonation, which made his attractive temperament more and more intense. Huan Yin looked at the old man for a while, and finally realized his gaffe, and asked the old man: "Senior, forgive the juniors for being bluntly offended, may I ask why the seniors are here?"
The old man took a deep look at Huan Yin, and laughed: "I haven't been here for a long time, so I came to feel the breath of this book, and accompany my old friends, so that they don't feel lonely all year round." (To be continued.) )
PS: The third more!
