Chapter 176: I owe you a favor
Before Qiao Yuan and Qu Yunwei could recover from this spectacular scene, they were swept into the crack by Yan Chenzi with a wave of his sleeves.
The light was dazzling, and both of them closed their eyes tightly, not daring to open their eyes, until they felt the light in front of them dissipate, and the two slowly opened their eyes.
As far as the eye could see, it was pitch black, but this pitch-black scene only lasted for three breaths, and suddenly a little candle flame lit up all around, and in an instant, at least nearly a thousand candles lit up not far in front of Qiao Yuan, reflecting everything around him into his eyes.
This is an ancient hall, and the pillars supporting the hall exude a rotten atmosphere, and even the floor under the feet of the two of them is trembling, as if the floor will break with a little force.
The main hall is extremely wide, with the size of thousands of zhang, and at the same time, the main hall is empty, except for dozens of pillars, only the smooth and smooth four walls remain.
There were no doors or windows in the hall, and Qiao Yuan and Qu Yunwei didn't know where they entered the hall, and when they finished observing everything, both of them showed doubts and were embarrassed.
"It turns out that you are the number one in the Dabi Qi Refining Group. ”
After Qu Yunwei swept around, she focused her gaze on Qiao Yuan and said coldly.
"Huh...... Didn't I say it before, we're going to know each other soon. ”
Qiao Yuan nodded, smiled slightly, and said slowly.
Qu Yunwei had a cold personality and didn't want to talk to Qiao Yuan too much, she turned around and walked slowly towards the center of the main hall.
Qiao Yuan didn't mind, and also took steps and walked towards the center of the main hall.
The empty hall was silent, except for the slight footsteps of the two men, except for the creaking sound of stepping on the loose wooden planks.
"Wait!"
When the two of them walked to the center of the main hall, Qiao Yuan suddenly let out a low shout, in this extremely silent environment, a sudden low shout made Qu Yunwei's body tremble subconsciously and was startled.
Qu Yunwei's beautiful face showed anger, she turned to look at Qiao Yuanjiao and shouted.
"What fuss, what are you screaming?"
Qiao Yuan ignored Qu Yunwei, his eyes showed a strange light, and he looked at a pillar carefully, his expression was extremely focused.
Qu Yunwei saw that Qiao Yuan didn't pay attention to herself, but looked at a pillar very intently, she frowned, walked forward in a few steps, and was about to speak, but she saw a palm-sized beast carved on the pillar.
This strange beast is like a tiger and a deer, Qiao Yuan has never seen it, but Qu Yunwei couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim when she saw this strange beast.
"It's a tiger beast!"
"What is a Macaculus?"
When Qiao Yuan heard Qu Yunwei's exclamation, he immediately stared at him and asked, but as soon as his words came out, there was a muffled tiger roar that swirled in the hall, and then a lazy word came into the ears of the two of them.
"Who disturbed the king's sleep?"
When Qiao Yuan and Qu Yunwei heard these words, their hearts immediately trembled, their eyes showed horror, and they all stepped back.
But when the two of them swept their eyes around, they didn't find any figure, but when their eyes fell on the pillar, they saw the carved beast on the pillar writhing, and at the same time, the carved beast flashed with black light, and its closed eyes slowly opened.
The moment those eyes opened, the sound of the tiger roar in the hall became even more intense, Qiao Yuan and Qu Yunwei couldn't bear the sound of the tiger roar, and hurriedly covered their ears with their hands, and their consciousness was withdrawn from their bodies, protecting their minds to death.
"It turned out to be two little dolls, bring the token. ”
After this carved beast opened its eyes and saw Qiao Yuan and Qu Yunwei, it yawned and said lazily.
When Qiao Yuan and Qu Yunwei heard this, they hurriedly took off the token on their waists, and before they could send it, the black light flashed, and the two tokens appeared next to the pillar out of thin air, and the carved beast's eyes flashed, and they glanced at the token a few times.
A moment later, the two tokens flew back into the hands of Qiao Yuan and Qu Yunwei at the same time, and at the same time, the lazy voice of the Macaque Tiger Beast sounded again.
"Qi refining disciples go to the second layer to choose an exercise, and foundation building disciples go to the third layer to choose an exercise, you can't choose more, and the time is only one day. ”
After hearing this, Qiao Yuan frowned, hesitated for a moment, and asked slowly.
"Senior, why do Qi refining disciples choose exercises on the second layer, while foundation building disciples go to the third layer to select exercises?"
After the tiger beast finished speaking, the light flashed, and immediately a wooden staircase appeared beside the two of them out of thin air, and after doing this, when it was about to fall into a deep sleep again, it heard Qiao Yuan's question.
"If you have what it takes to get to the third level, then you go. ”
The tiger beast said a word impatiently, and then fell into a deep sleep, no matter how Qiao Yuan called, there was no response.
Qu Yunwei ignored Qiao Yuan, turned around and stepped directly on the wooden staircase, and a creaking sound came out, as if the staircase could break at any time.
Qiao Yuan sighed lightly, and also turned around and stepped on the stairs, although he didn't know what the difference between the second floor and the third floor was, but the Qi refining disciples and the foundation building disciples were selected on different floors, Qiao Yuan thought about it for a while, and he could guess that the exercises on these three floors were definitely better than those on the second floor.
Of course, this was just his guess, and maybe it wasn't.
After a short time, Qu Yunwei walked to the end of the stairs, and Qiao Yuan saw Qu Yunwei land on the last wooden ladder with one foot, and her figure suddenly disappeared in front of her.
His eyes were shocked, and he hurriedly followed, when he stepped on the last wooden staircase, there was a flower in front of him, and after a while, Qiao Yuan saw clearly again, but in front of him was an attic room full of bookshelves, as for the stairs under his feet, it had long since disappeared.
Qiao Yuan looked intently, his eyes quickly swept around, trying to find Qu Yunwei's figure, but he swept around and didn't see it, and after a moment of silence, he walked towards the extremely neatly arranged bookshelves.
This room is huge, hundreds of zhang wide, each bookshelf is three zhang apart, the bookshelf is densely filled with all kinds of jade slips, some of which are books, iron plates, scrolls, anyway, all kinds of things to record the exercises.
Qiao Yuan took some jade slips at random and inspected them, and found that the exercises placed on these bookshelves were extremely messy, but many things that were not related to each other were placed together.
"It seems that there is no sorting here at all, so how can I find the wind attribute exercise here?"
Qiao Yuan's face showed bitterness and muttered softly.
Suddenly, he noticed that there was some movement more than ten zhang away, Qiao Yuan showed a smile on his face, and hurriedly put down the jade slip in his hand and walked there.
"Miss Qu, it turns out that you are still on the second floor, I thought you had already gone to the third floor. ”
Qiao Yuan found Qu Yunwei who was concentrating on a picture scroll behind a bookshelf, he smiled softly and said softly.
Qu Yunwei glanced at Qiao Yuan, still with a cold appearance, she nodded, did not speak, and continued to look at the scroll.
Qiao Yuan didn't mind, he saw that Qu Yunwei was quite focused, so he didn't bother again, but picked a book on the same bookshelf and flipped through it.
The book was covered with dust, I don't know how many years it had been here, Qiao Yuan flipped through a few pages, then lost interest and put it back on the shelf.
Then he picked out a lot of exercises, but each one, Qiao Yuan only looked at it a few times and put it down, because there were no wind attribute exercises in it at all.
"Miss Qu, aren't you going to go to the third floor?"
Qiao Yuanwei saw Qu Yunwei wandering around the second floor unhurriedly, looking at this and that from time to time, she was not in a hurry at all, as if even if she couldn't find a good exercise, she didn't care.
"No hurry!"
When Qu Yunwei heard Qiao Yuan's words, she didn't turn her head to look at him, but whispered a word, and continued to flip through the exercises on the bookshelf.
Qiao Yuan was helpless, so he had to continue to look for it in this vast sea of books, he only glanced at every exercise, and in a blink of an eye, three hours had passed, and Qiao Yuan still hadn't found the wind attribute exercise.
Just when he was anxious, a beautiful word came into his ears, which was what Qu Yunwei said.
"You want to follow me to the third floor?"
When Qiao Yuan heard this, his face immediately turned happy and nodded.
"Your cultivation is not enough to enter the third layer, if you insist on wanting to enter, I can resist some coercion for you, you can follow me. ”
Qu Yunwei saw the joy on Qiao Yuan's face, pondered for a moment, and said slowly, when she said this, the coldness on her face eased a little.
When Qiao Yuan heard this, he was obviously stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Qu Yunwei to take the initiative to help him, which made his heart feel a little warm.
"Thank you, Miss Qu, I owe you a favor for this matter. ”
"No, it's just a gesture. ”
Qu Yunwei shook her head and said lightly, and after speaking, she turned around and walked towards the staircase in the center of the room.
The staircase was exactly the same as the staircase on the first floor, except that there was a coercion of a monk in the late stage of foundation building, and it was this coercion that made it impossible for Qiao Yuan to go up to the third floor.
At this moment, Qu Yunwei stepped on it one step at a time, she turned around and glanced at Qiao Yuan, signaling Qiao Yuan to follow closely, and then she slowly walked upward.
Qu Yunwei has the cultivation of building a foundation, and the coercion in the later stage of foundation building has almost no effect on her, but she has to divide her mind to protect Qiao Yuan, so she walks slowly, but fortunately, there were no accidents along the way, and the two finally stepped on the third layer one after the other.
Because of Qu Yunwei's protection, Qiao Yuan hardly made any effort, and at this moment, he stepped on the third floor, looked at Qu Yunwei and showed a grateful smile, which made Qu Yunwei slightly stunned, and the corners of his mouth seemed to raise a trace of arc.
Qiao Yuan was quite excited in his heart, and didn't pay attention to this detail, he thanked Qu Yunwei and turned around to look for the exercises.
This third floor is also an attic room, but it is half smaller than the second floor, and there are also many bookshelves here, and there are some jade slips, books, scrolls, and so on scattered on the bookshelves.
Qiao Yuan walked to the nearby bookshelf quite excitedly, picked up a jade slip, looked at it intently, and after a little inspection, he put down the jade slip, but his face was not disappointed, but he was even more excited, because the exercises here were obviously much better than the second layer.
