It stands to reason that Lu Xiaojing, who is in the Qi Refining realm, is not qualified to enter the tower. Even if he is qualified, he will have to wait for another three years.
But today is different from the past. In the past, the sect had many disciples and had to queue up to enter the tower. Now the sect is declining, the disciples are withering, and their appearance is also extremely poor, so this rule no longer exists.
"The tower rules were set by the ancestors of the sect. Although the previous sect leaders have some rights to change them, you must also ask the gods in the tower before entering the tower to see if they allow you to enter the tower."
Before entering the tower, the sect leader bowed to the tower door. After asking the gods in the tower, the slowly opening door of the tower was their answer.
Cheng Qian also wanted to follow him into the tower, but was pulled back by Song Nianfeng.
"I only have three apprentices in total. If I lose two of them at once, wouldn't my hard work in the past two years be in vain?"
"But, master, junior brother, he..."
Song Nianfeng looked at Lu Xiaojing with an expression as if the old god was there.
"Xiaojing, look, do you want me to keep your storage bag for you for a few days? If you really fold it in it, it will be easy for me to miss you in the future."
"Then you recruit a few more apprentices. I believe it won't be long before you can't even remember my name."
Lu Xiaojing entered the tower without looking back, as if he had no regard for life or death.
In fact, everyone didn't have much hope for what would happen after they entered the tower. After all, Xiao Li had learned from the past. Even if she was lucky enough to get out of the tower once, they all felt that she was influenced by Elder Shuangmu.
Even Xue Shikai thinks so.
…
The moment the tower door closed, Lu Xiaojing and Xue Shikai had completely different reactions.
One is gearing up and extremely excited.
His expression was solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Lu Xiaojing glanced at Xue Shikai coldly and said mockingly.
"Senior Brother Xue, are your legs weak? Do you need me to help you?"
Xue Shikai glared at her viciously.
"Better take care of yourself first!"
Lu Xiaojing put his hands behind his back and entered the tower leisurely.
Looking at Lu Xiaojing's back, Xue Shikai had just started to murder when the stone beasts in the cave suddenly moved. Seeing this, he changed his previous domineering attitude and immediately bowed his hands to the four stone beasts and saluted.
"Disciple Xue Shikai has met all of you... seniors. There is a rule in the sect that those who are not above the realm of pill formation cannot enter the tower. However, the sect has been declining day by day in the past hundred years. The number of people who have broken through the realm of pill formation can be counted on one hand. So If it goes down, the sect will be in danger sooner or later.
The disciples entered the pagoda today and boldly begged the seniors to relax the test requirements for disciples in the sect and give us the opportunity to strengthen the sect. "
Lu Xiaojing was slightly startled. This guy is very eloquent.
Four spirit beasts jumped out of the cave and surrounded her, sniffing and rubbing against her, causing her to frown slightly.
"What are you doing? It's that kid who wants to break into the tower, not me. I'll sit next to you and rest for a while. You can go and do what you're supposed to do. By the way, that kid and I are from the same sect, but we don't have the same friendship. Don't use your subordinates. Show mercy.”
Xue Shikai looked at her in disbelief.
"you……"
…
Kakoi bent his knees against the wall and put his arms on his knees, looking like he was watching a show.
"Senior brother, do you have any last words? When I leave the tower, I will help you take him out."
Before Xue Shikai could react, his body was pushed away by the horn of the spiritual sheep.
Lu Xiaojing clicked his tongue, "With this little ability, you still want to break into the tower? How about you kowtow to them a few times and try?"
After Xue Shikai fell to the ground with serious injuries, he reluctantly got up. In addition to fear, there was also a hint of shock in his eyes.
"Why do they obey you?"
Lu Xiaojing didn't have an answer to this question. In short, these four spiritual beasts seemed to like her very much and indeed listened to her words.
Maybe it's...fate!
"...You four, have fun with him, don't be too harsh. If you die from playing, then...play to death."
Lu Xiaojing suddenly became playful, and the four spirit beasts moved upon hearing the order. They humiliated Xue Shikai with one hoof and one horn.
After all, Xue Shikai was still afraid of death. When he was humiliated to the point where he only had one breath left, he begged for mercy.
"I give up! I beg you, please spare my life!"
Lu Xiaojing was unmoved. She had been hardened by all kinds of hardships and had a heart of stone. If Xue Shikai left the tower, he would definitely tell others what he saw and heard in the tower, and then her situation would be in danger.
After Xue Shikai died, she reviewed all the exercises in the tower.
In addition, she also discovered that there were only a few resources on the first floor, and the cultivation pills were gone, as if the resources were about to be exhausted.
If you want to get better resources, you can only work hard and climb up.
Fortunately, Xue Shikai still had more than a dozen cultivation pills in his storage bag. Maybe he didn't have time to use them, which was an advantage for her, just enough for her to break through to the fourth heaven.
…
It was already twenty days before Lu Xiaojing left the tower again.
The sect leader summoned her to Chaoyang Palace and stared at her thoughtfully for a long time.
"Your senior brother Xue..."
Lu Xiaojing had already thought of his words.
"After I entered the tower with Senior Brother Xue, I wanted to work with him to deal with the four spiritual beasts. Unexpectedly, as soon as the tower door was closed, Senior Brother Xue actually drew his sword towards me, and the moves were fatal. If it weren't for the four spiritual beasts in the tower, The spiritual beast suddenly took action, I'm afraid that on the day I entered the tower..."
The sect leader sighed softly, as if he was feeling regretful.
"Then if you enter the tower for a few days, will you get another chance?"
Lu Xiaojing shook his head slowly, pretending to be disappointed.
"After I was seriously injured by Senior Brother Xue, I couldn't withstand the pressure in the tower. I thought I would die this time, but I didn't expect that I would wake up after being unconscious for several days."
After being silent for a long time, the sect leader made a decision.
"Since you were able to get out of the tower safely twice, it means that you are destined to this Chance Tower. You can practice well after you go back. The tower rules will not set restrictions for you in the future. You can enter whenever you want."
Lu Xiaojing was ecstatic, "Thank you, Sect Master."
After coming out of Chaoyang Hall, Song Nianfeng suddenly approached her in a suspicious manner, "Xiaojing, will you accompany Master down the mountain?"
She subconsciously asked, "What to do?"
Song Nianfeng smiled sarcastically, "As you know, the elders in our sect are tasked with recruiting disciples. No, it's almost the end of the year. If you fail to complete the task, your monthly salary will be deducted."
Lu Xiaojing raised his eyebrows, "What does this have to do with me?"
Song Nianfeng directly made a condition, "We will each receive half of the reward for accepting a disciple, how about that?"
Kakoi only thought about it for two seconds, "Deal."
…
At the end of the twelfth lunar month, Youzhou ushered in the first snow of winter, and it was covered in silver.
Lu Xiaojing bought himself a cotton-padded coat and followed Song Nianfeng to more than a dozen villages and towns. It was not that he had never met anyone with extraordinary appearance and quality, but they all liked the big sect, and even the pseudo-spiritual roots with mediocre appearance and quality were ignored by others. The small sect snatched it away.
When people compete for apprentices, they will give away rice and noodles.
The master was trying to steal his apprentice, so he just said, "This is your senior brother Lu, and he is also a fake spiritual root. He has only been in the sect for a few months, and his cultivation has already broken through the fourth level."
When the children looked at her with burning eyes, Lu Xiaojing felt a little guilty. The money she earned made her feel uneasy.
"Fourth Heaven? Is the Fourth Heaven amazing?"
People from Fengyang Sect came to fight with them again. The man in the lead had a donkey face and extremely bad moral character. He pushed his junior brother out and spoke provocatively.
"My Junior Brother Yang happens to be at the fourth level of Qi Refining Realm. How about you guys compete? Whoever wins, this kid will belong to him!"
