"Tread.... Trample.... Step ....."

Walking in the dark staircase, the sound from under his feet made Lin Chen's heart gradually reassured, although he was in the dark, everything around him did not disappear, and under the unconcealable light flashing in his eyes, Lin Chen could see everything around him in his eyes.

After walking a few steps, Lin Chen couldn't help but touch the wall beside him with his hand, and from the touch coming from his hand, he could feel the coldness and solidity transmitted from it.

But the more this is the case, the heavier his mood becomes, and the light in his eyes that looks above him is also a little sharper.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Lin Chen had walked up the stairs leading to the upper floor of the Dan Pavilion, before that, he had never had such an idea, but now he had to do so in order to find the answer he wanted to know.

Especially for the few words that have been lingering in his mind, he is more and more eager to find the answer he wants.

Although there were only twenty-one steps on the stairs leading to the second floor, Lin Chen, who was in the dark, seemed to have walked for a long time before stepping his heavier and heavier steps onto the ground of the second floor.

However, just when Lin Chen's left foot touched the ground on the second floor, he suddenly stopped when he wanted to officially ascend to the second floor, and even his eyes slowly closed.

This is a square that covers a huge area, Lin Chen, who suddenly appeared here, frowned secretly, vigilantly guarding his surroundings, but also touched his body with some uncertainty, and when he was sure that he also had cultivation in his body now, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then turned his eyes to where he was now.

This is indeed a huge square, and the edge of the square can't be seen at all with the naked eye, and Lin Chen, who appears here at this time, looks like a small ant.

And after that, a faint white mist gradually began to appear around Lin Chen, which greatly shortened the distance within Lin Chen's gaze.

Then Lin Chen felt that there was actually a slight smell of medicinal herbs in the air here, as if it had some special effect.

However, he soon noticed that he was facing a huge statue hundreds of meters high, although its body was also surrounded by white mist, Lin Chen could confirm that the person carved by this statue was a figure with immortal wind bones through the parts that were occasionally exposed.

It's just that what made Lin Chen puzzled and shocked was that he was obviously on the second floor of the Dan Pavilion just now, and without any feeling, how could he appear here so suddenly.

And whether it was from the real touch coming from his body, or the true qi and cultivation he had in his body, all of this that appeared in front of him was as if it were real.

However, he soon knew where he was now, because at this moment, from the vast white mist, a very mechanical, lifeless voice suddenly sounded.

"This is the place of test on the second floor of the Danyan Sect Dan Pavilion, if you want to enter the second floor, please identify the thousand medicinal materials in front of you."

After the mechanical voice finished speaking, the square returned to its previous calm, but in front of Lin Chen's eyes at this time, a thousand different medicinal materials appeared neatly arranged.

Lin Chen already knew where he was at this time, so he also put down his defense, but what he still couldn't believe was what kind of cultivation was needed to use such a mysterious and unpredictable means to get a person to such a place unconsciously.

It's just that now it's not the time for him to think about this, he still needs to pass the test in front of him as soon as possible, so as to leave this mysterious space and find the answers he wants in the next few floors.

Therefore, Lin Chen quickly calmed down and began to distinguish the various medicinal materials that appeared in front of him.

A thousand kinds of medicinal materials are not much, but they are not much, if Lin Chen, who had just left from Mocheng, was faced with such a number of medicinal materials, he would not be able to identify them all.

At that time, he only knew a small part of the medicinal herbs, and for the entire cultivation world, it was just a drop in the ocean.

But for Lin Chen now, there is no difficulty, at this time, after staying on the first floor of the Dan Pavilion for ten days, he finally made use of his knowledge of the pill during this time, so he quickly completed this simplest test.

Lin Chen, who was on the second layer, opened his eyes, and after checking his surroundings, he had already determined that he had left that mysterious space and returned to the second layer of the Dan Pavilion, so he looked at the second layer.

In front of him, there were bookshelves with the same layout as the first floor, but in terms of quantity, it was only about three-quarters of the first floor.

But in terms of preciousness, the one that Lin Chen took down now is enough to be worth a few books on the first floor.

And this is just one book, the number in front of him is very large, so he is also overwhelmed, and Lin Chen, who is watching it, can't help but be secretly speechless.

But he quickly turned his attention to his business, and with some pity glanced at the texts that existed in them, and then resolutely stepped towards the third layer.

At the moment when Lin Chen stepped into the third layer, he was also not given any time to react, not even a hint of warning, and when Lin Chen reacted again, he appeared in the same place as before in a blink of an eye.

However, this time it was different, the hundred-meter statue still existed, but in front of Lin Chen's eyes, in addition to a thousand different medicinal materials, there was also a Dan furnace in flames.

Just as Lin Chen was thinking secretly, that mechanical voice sounded again.

"This is the place to enter the third layer of the Dan Pavilion, if you want to enter the third layer, please identify the thousand medicinal materials in front of you, and refine the three kinds of pills that can be successfully refined."

After hearing this, Lin Chen frowned again and looked at the thousand medicinal materials in front of him.

If it was the same as before, although these medicinal materials were also different, and their quality and rarity were far beyond the test of the second layer, Lin Chen could still spend some time identifying them all.

It's just that the key is still to come, find out three differences among a thousand kinds of medicinal materials, and if you have to cooperate correctly, and you have to successfully refine the three kinds of pills, the difficulty of this will increase more than ten times in an instant, and it is no wonder that many people will be stopped here.

Unless the person trying to break through happens to know these three pills, or according to the alchemist's instinctive consciousness and almost absolute control over the medicinal properties in each medicinal material, he can only give up this layer of testing.

Because each kind of pill recipe can only be successful after a long period of exploration and experimentation by alchemists, which not only requires extremely deep alchemy attainments, but also requires absolute cultivation to suppress all kinds of dangers that will be bringed.

However, Lin Chen soon made a new discovery, because among these medicinal materials, Lin Chen actually saw the existence of all the materials of the Ice Pulp Pill and the Qingchen Melting Vein Pill, and even the third pill was also in his impression, and it was also an elixir that could strengthen the meridians.

And among these medicinal materials, although he had not seen the real Melting Spirit Fruit, according to the Qingchen Melting Pulse Pill, as long as there was a medicinal effect that could balance the two different spiritual powers, it could naturally be used as the main medicine of the Melting Spirit Fruit that was in short supply.

Such a coincidence once again confirmed the speculation in his heart, and made him eager again.

Before this, there was Lu Jinxuan's refining of the Ice Marrow Pill, Lin Chen's first elixir naturally chose it, and the second one was naturally the Qingchen Melting Pulse Pill that he had been thinking about for a long time, and he had thought about it in his heart, as for the third one, although he hadn't studied it much, it made him refine it dangerously and dangerously in the end.

This time, Lin Chen also passed the test of the third layer without danger, and he didn't stay long when he stepped on the third layer, and he didn't even take a look at the classics in the third layer.

After the test just now, he faintly got the answer in his heart, and now he only has one thought, that is, to step on the sixth layer.

However, Lin Chen climbed to the fourth layer very smoothly this time, except for a faint tingling in his mind the moment he stepped on the fourth layer, nothing else happened.

Although he felt unusually strange in his heart, Lin Chen only took a deep breath and wanted to continue towards the fifth layer.

It was only at this time that he suddenly noticed the shadow in front of him, and turned to look behind him strangely, only to find that behind him was actually a palm-sized cyan ball of light, and it followed him closely.

"What is this? There is only such a ball of light on the fourth layer", Lin Chen thought to himself.

Surprised in his heart, Lin Chen couldn't help but reach out and touch the cyan light cluster, but the moment he touched it, the cyan light cluster appeared in Lin Chen's eyebrows in the blink of an eye, and suddenly disappeared into it.

Lin Chen was shocked, and hurriedly looked inside his body, but after searching for it several times, he didn't find anything, and he didn't feel any discomfort.

In desperation, he had no choice but to put it aside and slowly walked to the fifth layer.

It's just that as soon as he stepped on the first step leading to the fifth floor, he felt a tingling pain appear in his mind, and Lin Chen didn't care about it at first.

"Ah!!h

It's just that as he gradually stepped on, the stinging pain that appeared in his mind became more intense, only less than ten steps, and the sudden stinging pain was already unbearable for him.

And at this time, he finally knew why he didn't encounter any tests when he ascended to the fourth layer.

Because the test from the fourth layer onwards is aimed at the alchemist's spiritual power.

This can also explain why Wei Wen and Lu Jinxuan showed a state of malaise after they passed the test of the fourth layer.

It is because if you want to pass the test of the fourth layer, you must eliminate this spiritual pressure acting on your mind under the resistance of your own spiritual power, and then step on the fourth layer, so that you can pass.

The reason why Lin Chen was not affected when he was in the fourth layer was because his powerful spiritual power could resist it, so he could pass through.

But the spiritual coercion of the fifth layer was too strong, even Lin Chen could only hold on to half of the steps, and he couldn't bear it, not to mention the inner disciples of the Danyan Sect and others, I am afraid that when they stepped on the first step, they would have already passed out due to severe pain.

It's just that if Lin Chen gives up, then everything he did before will be in vain, so without thinking too much, Lin Chen gritted his teeth, and his eyes became firm again.

"Girl, wait for me", Lin Chen shouted in a low voice, and continued to move forward against this spiritual pressure.

It seemed that he felt Lin Chen's determination, and the light cluster in Lin Chen's mind changed again, and under the spread of the light, it turned into a faint film of light enveloping Lin Chen's body, blocking all spiritual coercion.

"It's ......"

Lin Chen didn't have time to think about it, he stepped under his feet again and again, and in a few breaths, he rushed to the fifth layer, and after colliding head-on with the light cluster in the fifth layer, he burst out at an extremely fast speed and rushed directly to the sixth layer.

At the same time, at the moment when Lin Chen rushed to the sixth layer, an old man with a cane who had been waiting here for a long time also turned around and looked at Lin Chen with his face.

"Sure enough, it's your !!"

After seeing this person's face, Lin Chen let out a cry of surprise, but it was more of an inexplicable emotion, with a moment of enlightenment, and a trace of doubt, and there was even more shock to this person, so his face was full of complexity when he looked at this person.
