What is the thirteenth layer of condensation cultivation? I'm afraid no one will know this. Of course, Lin Quan also knows a lot.

Thirteen-level cultivation is not something that can be achieved by normal cultivation. Only those who have taken the "Spirit Condensation Pill" and launched an attack on the condensation stage but ultimately failed have a certain chance of being able to advance to the thirteenth layer. However, the failure of the impact condensate can be roughly divided into two types:

The first is complete failure. Generally speaking, most of them will be greatly injured, and even their cultivation may be expulsed. Therefore, it is necessary to take good care of it in the future.

The second is incomplete failure. Although they were not able to advance directly to the condensate in one go, they were not as exhausted as the complete losers. On the contrary, due to unpredictable reasons, a part of the spiritual energy in the body was transformed into a liquid state, and it had some of the magical powers that a condensation stage monk had.

Therefore, in order to distinguish the special state of these strength boundaries between the condensation period and the condensation period, they are called the thirteen layers of condensation. At the same time, it can also be jokingly called "half-step condensate".

How strong is the strength of the thirteenth-layer monks? Lin Quan is not too clear about this, according to the records of the classics, it can be seen that there is also a gap between the thirteenth-layer monks, and the specific way to distinguish it depends on how much spiritual energy in their bodies has been converted into a liquid state. However, even if it was a weaker thirteenth-tier monk, the total amount of spiritual power would be more than twice that of a twelfth-tier monk. That's where the real fear lies.

"The contemptible Shao Zhong was added as the steward of the puppet hall. I think the nine junior disciples are the ones who received the puppet hall task this time. The ghostly man swept over the crowd with a cold handsome face.

"Junior brother, see Senior Brother Shao. Lin Quan and the other nine people hurriedly bowed.

"Well, since you can stand here, I guess you all know the rules of the puppet hall. Shao Zhong nodded slightly, and then stretched out his left palm. "Hand them all over, and don't leave anything unrelated. ”

"Yes, little brother understands. Except for Lin Quan, the other eight people hurriedly nodded yes. Soon, they handed over their identity jade talisman and carry-on storage bag to Shao Zhong very neatly.

"Hey, what's going on. ”

Lin Quan's stomach was full of questions, but at this time, even if he was in doubt, he could only do it in a muffled voice. Anyway, the storage bag he was carrying with him was supposed to be pretended. In addition to the Qingyun Sword issued by the Purple Void Gate and the Iron Cutting Knife, there were only a small number of spirit stones and some ordinary pill powders.

"Okay, now come with me, junior disciples, you must not keep the hall master waiting for a long time. After checking all the identities of everyone, Shao Zhong nodded with satisfaction, and then turned around and walked towards the gate where he came.

"Obey Senior Brother's Decree!"

After Shao Zhong's figure completely disappeared into the gate, Lin Quan and the other nine people entered the puppet hall step by step under the leadership of the three twelfth-story monks. As soon as Lin Quan, who was in the last place, stepped into the passage, the two thick doors behind him closed again with a "clang".

When you enter the gate, you will see a wide passage about six or seven zhang long, and after passing through the passage, everyone will come to a hall with a radius of fifty or sixty zhang.

"Come with me, now we're going to the real puppet hall. Shao Zhong casually threw the storage bag handed in by everyone to a puppet deacon's disciple and walked straight to the corner of the hall. There is a circle carved with intricate patterns and patterns. Shao Zhong first skillfully installed several medium-grade spirit stones in the various recesses of the magic circle, and then waved his hand to play out a few spirit tricks, and soon the magic circle was full of spiritual light, and there was a slight "buzzing" sound.

After Shao Zhong confirmed that the magic circle was operating normally, he stood up directly, and then waved his hand and said, "Okay, you all stand up quickly." ”

"Yes, brother. Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and soon they all crowded into this small magic circle.

"It's actually a short-distance teleportation array!Hmm, it seems that the maximum teleportation distance of this circle should not exceed ......" Lin Quan recognized the approximate effect of this formation after a few glances. Just as he was silently estimating the maximum teleportation distance of this magic circle in his heart, the ten people in the array disappeared in a burst of spiritual light.

After a whirlwind of the world, ten people had appeared in a strange underground molten cavern. This natural molten cavern was empty, and there was no one except for the circular teleportation array that everyone was stepping on under their feet.

"Wow, it's so hot here, could it be that we are already near the source of the earthfire?" Senior Brother Hou suddenly exclaimed as everyone had adjusted to the negative effects of teleportation.

It was only then that everyone suddenly realized that the temperature here was already quite high. I saw that the four walls of the lava cave and the ground were faintly glowing red, and the surging heat was also transmitted from all directions. Although this level of popularity is nothing for cultivators who have achieved cultivation, ordinary people can never survive for a moment when they come here.

"Yes, this place is already a lava cave more than a hundred feet below the ground. We'll walk a little further to where the real puppet hall is. Shao Zhong replied casually, and after everyone had recovered from the stun of the teleportation, he identified one direction and galloped away.

"Kuye, the environment here is really enough to choke ......," a senior brother of the eleventh layer of the exercise lamented.

Before everyone started the real task, they were already disarmed by the hot underground environment, and everyone galloped with a bitter face and without saying a word.

Under the leadership of Shao Zhong, everyone passed through more than a dozen lava caves of different sizes one after another, and finally stopped in a huge underground lava cave. I saw a majestic ancient stone hall standing in the middle of this lava cave. As far as the eye can see, this hall and the surrounding cave walls and ground are all made of a strange dark gray material, full of vicissitudes and atmosphere. And since everyone stepped into this strange lava hole, everyone felt that the temperature had suddenly dropped quite a bit.

"What is the reason for this? Could it be that there are still some super-large defensive prohibitions arranged here?" Lin Quan secretly estimated that the terrain here should be closer to the earth fire than the lava cave where the teleportation array was set, but the temperature here was only less than half of what it was just now. He couldn't help but look around for a moment, and finally fixed his gaze on the dark gray stone that spread throughout the cavern, and nodded thoughtfully.

Lin Quan's performance completely fell into Shao Zhong's eyes, so he simply explained: "This hall is the real 'puppet hall'. Here, everything is made of 'Gray Black Rock', which is extremely insulated, so even ordinary mortals will not feel too hot when they enter it. ”

After entering the puppet hall and passing through several guards again, Lin Quan's nine people followed Shao Zhong to a hall. At this time, there was an amazing crane-haired old man sitting in the middle of the hall, and the spiritual pressure emanating from his body was three points stronger than Ma Zhiyuan.

"Uncle Li, all the people have been brought. Shao Zhong respectfully bowed to the old man, and then retreated without further words.

"The disciples and others will meet the master of the Li Hall. At this time, how could Lin Quan and the others not know the identity of the person in front of them?

"Hehe, it seems that the nine of you are the poor worms that Ma Lao'er forced to make up for me this year, right?" The crane-haired old man gently tapped the armrests of the seat with both hands, and glanced at everyone casually. His straightforward words embarrassed everyone, but they had nothing to say to a powerful condensation stage master, so they could only stand with their hands down.

When he saw Lin Quan, he suddenly slapped the stone chair and said angrily, "Huh, there is actually a kid with a tenth-layer cultivation. Hmph, Ma Lao'er is really too much this time, and he dares to prevaricate the old man with such garbage. Boy, no matter who you are, I hope you can complete the tasks of my puppet hall in the next two years, otherwise don't blame this seat for not being emotional......"

"The disciple will definitely do his best to complete the task, please rest assured. Lin Quan replied respectfully. His words and deeds that were neither humble nor arrogant also made the angry Li Shibo's face soothe slightly.

"I hope so. Hmph, since you can come here, you must have already understood the old man's style and personality, so the old man won't say anything more here. In my puppet hall, the old man has no other requirements, the only thing you have to do is to complete all the refining tasks with quality and quantity, if anyone does not do well, don't blame the old man for turning his face and being ruthless!" Uncle Li spoke very directly, and after a few words, he left everyone and turned around on his own.
