Mu Jingyu asked in a deep voice: "Senior, I don't know what the price is. Can you tell me?"
Qin Yunchuan and others all stared at the tower nervously, fearing that Zang Wanjuan would throw out a request that they would find difficult to fulfill.
Zang Wanjuan laughed and said: "Don't be nervous, boys. For the sake of Jiu Xian, what problems can I give you? I just set up four levels for you to pass. As long as you pass it smoothly, I will You can browse the ancient books in the library at will. If you can't get through... don't blame me for being cold-faced and not caring about anyone's face."
Su Yingying asked: "I don't know what the four levels have been set by the seniors. Please tell me and other juniors. No matter how difficult it is, we will definitely pass it!"
"Good! As expected of a disciple of Jiuhua Mountain, your spirit is high enough!"
While Zang Wanjuan was speaking, thick white smoke erupted from all around the Qingshi Square, instantly surrounding the six people, making it difficult to see the surrounding scene.
"These are my four levels, which are courage, strategy, love, and righteousness. The four levels are full of difficulties and thrills. It depends on whether you have the courage to brave it!"
Looking at the sudden outpouring of white smoke, the six people gathered around each other and carefully looked at the white smoke that appeared around them.
Zang Wanjuan said: "Don't be afraid, boys. My white mist is non-toxic and has no mechanism. You are just worried that someone will follow you and find my secluded place."
Listening to Zang Wanjuan's explanation, and the fact that the white mist only surrounded the courtyard and did not come close, made them feel at ease.
Zangwanjuan, who was hiding on the high tower, then raised his arm, and a stone gate appeared out of thin air, standing in front of the six people.
"I wonder if you have considered whether you want to come to my trial and have a try?"
At the beginning, when several people set out, they had imagined many possibilities. Like being turned away by Zang Wanjuan, or being warmly received by him, or even being beaten to death by him. Countermeasures have been planned for all these possibilities. Who knew that Zangwanjuan would do such a trick, which made them hesitate for a while.
Qin Yunchuan is still the oldest, and everyone always listens to him. After taking a look at the stone gate that appeared out of thin air, Qin Yunchuan laughed loudly and said: "Why, Senior Zang has set up a small difficulty to scare you away! Why don't you, brother, let me go first to find out the news? If there is no danger, you are here It’s not too late to go in.”
Before Mu Jingyu could express his position, Yu Yuanxiu shouted urgently: "What did Brother Qin say? When Yuan Xiu was in the blue sea and clouds, he was beaten and trained by his master. Besides, in order to help Princess Bi Yun detoxify, let alone After this little trial, even if it’s a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I, Yu Yuanxiu, dare to go through it!”
After saying that, he didn't forget to look back at Su Yingying. He was determined to follow her, with the intention of showing off his skills in front of Su Yingying so as to win her heart. Now that difficulties have finally arisen, how could we let this opportunity pass?
Mu Jingyu said in a deep voice: "Brother Qin, Brother Yu, you are right. We want to find some clues from Senior Zang, and it is right for him to have some problems. Besides, I want Senior Zang to see this For the sake of my master, Senior Drunkard, I will definitely not set a test that is too difficult. Let’s go inside and have a try, are we afraid of any danger?”
Mu Jingyu's words contained several hidden meanings. Firstly, it was to cheer everyone up, and secondly, it was also to secretly remind Zang Wanjuan that it was okay to set up trials, but don't use the name of trials to secretly pose difficult problems for them and make them quit in the face of difficulties.
Zang Wanjuan frowned, with a hint of displeasure in his tone: "Mu Jingyu, do you think I will take the opportunity to embarrass you? Huh, if it weren't for the sake of Jiu Xian and Tai Er, don't say anything It's just a trial, I won't even let you in. If you dare to make sarcastic remarks, be careful, I will kick you out immediately!"
Mu Jingyu secretly swallowed his saliva. Just now he was only talking about Tu Yi, but he forgot to hide Wanjuan's weird temper. Fortunately, he was not too angry. He quickly bowed and said with a smile: "Senior Zang has misunderstood. How dare I make sarcastic comments in front of you..."
"There is no best!" Zang Wanjuan snorted coldly: "After so many long words, will you enter or not? If I lose my temper, I will immediately withdraw my magical power and throw you away. go outside!"
"Come in, come in! Don't be angry, old man!" Shen Mengdie stuck out her tongue, pushed the three men standing in front, and whispered: "Brother Qin, Brother Mu, Brother Yu, let's hurry up Click in! Don’t really make Senior Zangmanjuan angry in a while.”
Mu Jingyu and Qin Yunchuan looked at each other, took a step at the same time, and both pushed open the stone door in front of them. How could Yu Yuanxiu be content with being behind others, so he stepped in immediately.
The remaining three women were worried that something unexpected would happen if they entered rashly, so they all followed the three of them and entered the trial.
Stepping through the stone gate, you will see a blue stone slab seven or eight feet square. Looking along the stone slab into the distance, I saw that the entire cave was pitch black, with only a stone staircase winding downwards, surrounded by a bottomless abyss.
Zhou Yan looked down and couldn't see the bottom. It was probably a hundred feet deep.
"It's strange. We didn't find this underground abyss when we were outside. How come it appeared out of thin air as soon as we stepped in?" Zhou Yan carefully circled around the stone platform, and gusts of cold wind came from He rushed out from below and couldn't help but shudder.
Qin Yunchuan pulled Zhou Yan and reminded him: "Be careful! I think the Shimen is an underground passage. Of course we couldn't see it when we stood in front."
Yu Yuanxiu didn't have a trace of fear. He stepped on the suspended stone stairs and stepped hard a few times. After seeing that it was still strong, he went down the steps first.
"Don't worry. Since Senior Zangwanjuan said it was a trial, he won't set up any dangerous situations to frame us. I'll go ahead to explore the way first, and you guys should follow me."
Mu Jingyu nodded and followed closely behind Yu Yuanxiu. The other three women, protected by Qin Yunchuan, walked down the stone steps step by step.
Different from what the six people saw with their own eyes, after they all stepped into the stone gate, the surrounding thin smoke quickly spread, covering the entire bluestone courtyard, and even the sky was tightly blocked. Around the bluestone courtyard, more than a dozen strong men emerged from behind.
I saw them all holding green awn flags and waving them back and forth. The white smoke that filled the air was emanating from the green awn flags.
After all six people entered the stone gate, the stone gate turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared. At the same time, more than a dozen steps composed of white mist appeared out of thin air at the feet of the six people. As they stepped on, the stone stairs spiraled one step after another, slowly extending into the mid-air dozens of feet above the ground.
It turned out that Qin Yunchuan and the other six people seemed to have entered the underground abyss, but in fact they were still in the bluestone courtyard. The mist rising all around formed a large formation, covering the sight of the six people, and transformed into an underground abyss.
The stone steps under the feet of the six people seemed to be spiraling down, but from outside the formation, they looked like they were winding upwards. Every time they step on it, they lift it up slightly. The six people were covered by the formation, how could they feel it?
Following the steps that looked like they were going down, but were actually going up, after walking hundreds of steps, we finally came to the end. A platform fifty feet square was suspended in the middle of the dark abyss.
Yu Yuanxiu stepped forward and landed gracefully on the stage. The other people followed him and stepped up together. The surroundings were still pitch black. The six of them calculated the distance and figured out that they were already seventy or eighty feet deep underground.
Except for this white jade platform, there is nothing else around. Mu Jingyu raised his head and looked upward. There was no light on the dark cave ceiling, and he didn't know what the first trial Zang Wanjuan was talking about was.
"Senior Zang, can you hear me?" Mu Jingyu raised his head and said loudly.
"I can hear it, I can hear it." Zang Wanjuan's voice came out from the green flags held in the hands of more than a dozen strong men. When it fell into the ears of Mu Jingyu and others, they felt that his voice was filling the ears. The entire underground cave was buzzing.
Qin Yunchuan asked: "I wonder if the first trial mentioned by senior is in this underground palace?"
Zang Wanjuan was sitting in the high tower, with a square chessboard in front of him. To one side of him, six little figures cut out of paper came to life, and they were constantly observing the surroundings. After looking carefully, judging from their clothing and posture, they were Mu Jingyu and others.
Zang Wanjuan changed his previous majesty and said with a smile: "Qin Yunchuan is right. The underground palace you are in is the first test set by me."
Su Yingying looked at the empty white jade platform and asked: "Senior, there is nothing here. How should the trial you always mentioned be completed?"
"Don't be anxious, isn't it coming..." Zang Wanjuan was holding a small and cute beast between his two fingers and threw it on the chessboard.
At the same time, a burst of white mist filled the area that was empty just now, and a hissing and low roar came from the white mist. After the white mist cleared, a terrifying beast that was as tall as three people and with a ferocious face was looking at them eagerly.
"Hiss~~~" Qin Yunchuan took a breath and opened his arms to stop everyone: "Be careful, everyone, this guy who suddenly appeared does not seem to be a kind person!"
Shen Mengdie pouted and said: "Senior Zang, is it possible that this first level is for us to defeat this big guy?"
Looking at the obviously ferocious beast in front of them, the six people felt a strong sense of oppression. Judging from the aura it emits, its cultivation level is at least above the middle stage of Guiyuan!
Among the six of them, except for Mu Jingyu who held the Nine Yaoxuan Light Chain. The person with the highest level of cultivation is Qin Yunchuan, and he is only in the late stage of Qi Transformation, and is still one step away from the peak state of Qi Transformation.
The remaining four people are one level lower than him, and they are all in the middle stage of Qi Transformation.
Judging from the strength of the six people, it seems that Mu Jingyu alone can easily take down the ferocious beast in front of him. However, everyone knows that the situation is much more difficult than it seems.
The Jiuyaoxuan Light Chain in Mu Jingyu's hand was filled with a large amount of spiritual energy by Biuan after leaving the clear water and clouds, and was able to display the cultivation of the innate realm.
But this spiritual energy becomes less and less the more it is used. If it is used up here, the road ahead will not be easy. After all, we have just arrived at Zangwanjuan, and the two medicinal materials and the items for casting the medicinal cauldron have not yet been found.
Even the four-level trial set by Zang Wanjuan has only reached the first level. No matter how dangerous the current situation is, Mu Jingyu cannot use the spiritual energy in Jiuyaoxuan's light chain at will.
Yu Yuanxiu wailed with a grimace on his face: "Senior Zang, the first level you set is for us juniors to face a ferocious beast from the Guiyuan realm. Isn't it a bit overwhelming!"
Hearing this, Zang Wanjuan just chuckled, slowly leaned back on the chair and said: "Why, a ferocious beast scared you. With such courage... Tsk, tsk, tsk... It seems that she has always attracted Is this what a proud disciple can do? When I see Nangong Jingqiu next time, I will definitely humiliate her."
"Who said I was scared..." Yu Yuanxiu's face instantly turned red as Zang Wanjuan laughed at him in public. With his right hand, he fluttered the sword beautifully, and a cherry silk blue water sword emerged from his palm. He said with great arrogance: "How can Yuan Xiu kill such a ferocious beast?"
After saying that, Yu Yuanxiu was anxious to prove himself in front of Su Yingying. If his feet slipped, he would fly towards her. Fortunately, Qin Yunchuan caught him and whispered: "Senior Zang hasn't said yet how to pass this first level. Brother Yu, why are you so anxious!"
