Chapter 1873 Gambling
Xia Ruofei suddenly felt a buzzing sound in his head as a huge mental force came to his face. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared, so he was only slightly stunned, and quickly resisted with his own strong mental power.
At the same time, there is also a powerful squeezing force and the invisible force that stirs the vitality also descends at the same time.
The 200th step is indeed another hurdle. Whether it is mental coercion or external pressure, it is obviously much stronger than the 199th step, and the increase is far greater than the previous steps.
Xia Ruofei felt that the external squeezing force should have exceeded a hundred times its own weight.
It is equivalent to that he is under the pressure of 10,000 to 20,000 jins anytime and anywhere, and it is coming from all directions at the same time, and there is no place to hide from the whole body.
The threat of that invisible force was even greater. The moment Xia Ruofei stepped on the 200th floor, the vitality in his body seemed to be boiling and violently oscillated.
Fortunately, Xia Ruofei had already made some preparations, and the "Da Dao Jue" technique started to work immediately, and after almost two weeks, his vitality began to calm down slowly.
As for the force of external extrusion, even though his vitality was all over his body, even though he was a little uncomfortable, it was not impossible to hold on.
In this way, Xia Ruofei quickly stood firmly on the 200th floor.
...
In the secret space filled with purple air, although Master Shanhe looked relaxed, he actually clenched his fists secretly.
When he saw Xia Ruofei standing firmly on the two hundred steps, he couldn't help but secretly shouted "Hello" in his heart, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.
"Congratulations! Brother Shanhe!" Daoist Qingxuan was also pleased, "You have accepted a good disciple!"
"Thank you Brother Qingxuan!" Daoist Shanhe cupped his hands and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't taught him for a day, and my teacher is not worthy of the name!"
"Brother Shanhe Daoist is too modest!" Daoist Qingxuan said with a smile, "No one in the world knows about such a treasure as the Shanhe Lingtu? You even left him such a treasure, and those cultivation resources, including some Precious inheritance, except for not teaching it yourself, you are more competent than most masters!"
Master Shanhe smiled and said: "Actually, why don't I want to teach my disciples well? But now the situation has collapsed to this point... But this child really did not disappoint me. Whether it is talent or perseverance, he is the best choice! If there is still If there is a chance, I will definitely bring him by my side and teach him for a while!"
Daoist Qingxuan was silent for a moment,
Said: "There must be a chance! This child is really talented, I believe you master and apprentice will be able to gather soon!"
"Borrow the auspicious words from Brother Qingxuan!" Master Shanhe said with a smile.
Daoist Qingxuan laughed and said, "Brother Shanhe, now your disciple has successfully bought this threshold! You should relax a bit, right? Why don't we make a bet?"
"Bet?" Master Shanhe asked curiously, "What do Brother Qingxuan want to bet?"
"Just bet on which steps this kid can reach!" Daoist Qingxuan said with a smile, "I've been greedy for Daoist Shanhe's Biqing gourd for a long time... How about it? Dare you bet on it?" bet?"
Master Shanhe couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard the words, and said, "Brother Qingxuan has a lot of appetite! He actually set his sights on my green gourd..."
"Naturally, I will also place an equal bet!" Daoist Qingxuan said with a smile, "My treasures at the bottom of the box, Daoist Shanhe is very clear, just mention what you like! As long as you can win the bet , you can take it away!"
Master Shanhe pondered for a while and said, "If I remember correctly, Brother Qingxuan should still have a bottle of Congealing Pill on hand..."
Daoist Qingxuan couldn't help being slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then he reacted. He said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Shanhe really cares about your disciple! He has just broken through to the middle stage of Jindan! You Preparations have already begun for him to condense the Nascent Soul!"
Master Shanhe smiled and said: "This child is practicing "Da Dao Jue". The quality of the golden core is much stronger than that of ordinary monks, and the potential for development is also great. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger. If you have a bottle of Ningying Pill, it will be much safer, and the success rate of condensing the Nascent Soul will also be greatly improved."
Daoist Qingxuan pondered for a while, and said straightforwardly: "No problem! Daoist Shanhe has already opened his mouth. I will give this bottle of Congealing Infant Pill to Daoist Shanhe whether he wins the bet or not! Just treat it as if I gave it to you!" This little doll's meeting gift!"
Master Shanhe waved his hands quickly when he heard the words: "No need to do this, we gamble normally, if Brother Qingxuan wins, I will naturally offer the green gourd with both hands; and if I win by luck, Brother Dao just needs to give me a bottle of Ningying Dan will do!"
Daoist Qingxuan shook his head with a smile, and said: "The value of the bet is not equal, I can't take advantage of this! Just do as I said! If Brother Shanhe wins, the Ningying Pill will belong to Xia Ruofei; I won...Brother Dao, give me the Green Gourd, and I will treat this Congealing Infant Pill as a gift for my nephew, and give it to that little doll!"
Master Shanhe couldn't refuse, so he could only say: "Then thank you Brother Qingxuan."
"Haha!" Daoist Qingxuan said, "Then let's take a gamble! Let me guess first... I think this doll should be able to last to about four hundred and fifty floors!"
Master Shanhe raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It seems that Daoist Qingxuan has a lot of confidence in me as a disciple! The 450th floor is already close to the best record for breaking through the ladder!"
Daoist Qingxuan is the guardian of the trial tower, so he is the clearest about these records. He said with a smile: "The record of the ladder is four hundred and seventy-eight floors!"
If Xia Ruofei were here, he would be very surprised—the best co-authored record is the 478th floor? That is to say, no one has been able to complete the ladder until today! In other words, no one has ever climbed to the top of this trial tower!
Xia Ruofei has already seen that the trial tower should be used to screen talents, so he thought that many people should be able to climb to the top in the long past.
I don't know that this trial tower is for screening talents, but as long as you can pass two hundred steps in this obsidian ladder, you will be considered a pass.
It's not very accurate to say that, because two hundred steps is a big watershed, and people who can pass this level can be said to be very rare.
Even Ling Qingxue, whose mental strength has far surpassed her true energy cultivation due to chance, was eliminated after reaching the 170th floor.
Therefore, level 200 is actually very difficult.
It's just that Xia Ruofei seemed relatively relaxed all the way here, and he also practiced "Da Dao Jue", and he also showed many valuable qualities before, so after comprehensive consideration, Daoist Qingxuan is still more optimistic about Xia Ruofei, so he guessed Four hundred and fifty floors.
Master Shanhe pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "Even Brother Qingxuan is so optimistic about this child, as a master, I can't underestimate him! I'll just guess four hundred and eighty levels! No matter what he can It can’t be done, but as a master, I still hope that he can break this century-old record!”
Daoist Qingxuan gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Brother Shanhe is more daring! I dare not think that someone can break the ladder record...Brother Shanhe, let's make a deal! In the end we will see Whoever guesses the answer closer to the real result of breaking through the level will win, how?"
"Very good, it's settled!" Master Shanhe nodded and said.
...
Xia Ruofei didn't know that he would still be able to open a bet after breaking through a level. He rested for a while at the 200th step, and felt that there was no problem with his state, so he was ready to continue going up.
Although the coercion is already very terrifying, Xia Ruofei still has more strength at this time, so he feels that the coercion is far from reaching his limit now.
In fact, as long as you stand on the ladder, you will be under that huge coercion all the time. So in theory, it is best to pass quickly, so as to minimize the time spent on the ladder. But because of the invisible force that stirs the vitality, the cultivator can't rush forward quickly with his strong body on the ladder, he can only take a step and stop, and try his best to maintain the stability of the vitality.
This is a test of the monk's sense of rhythm when breaking through the level.
Xia Ruofei is one who has a relatively good rhythm control. Except for the dozens of steps in front of him, he is basically steady and steady, not at all aggressive, but at the same time he does not take too much rest. Basically, as long as his physical condition is generally OK, he will Immediately ascend to the next step, which objectively reduces the time he stays on the steps.
Although the coercion suddenly increased from level 199 to level 200, Xia Ruofei was already mentally prepared, and it was all within his ability, so he didn't delay at this level for too long. The vitality in the body has been stabilized.
He glanced up at the top of the steps that were still far away, took a deep breath, and stepped up to the 201st step.
The coercion is naturally increasing, but the increase is obviously not as great as when it reached the 200th floor just now. In addition, Xia Ruofei has adapted to this level of coercion at this time, so he only shook his body slightly, and soon It stabilized.
However, the vibration of vitality in his body was still very strong, so he stood on the steps and ran "Da Dao Jue" for two weeks, so that the vitality was completely stabilized, and then he continued to move upwards.
Level 210, Level 220, Level 230...
Xia Ruofei has always maintained a relatively stable rhythm and rhythm, climbing up level by level.
The coercion of this obsidian ladder has been increasing, but one thing is good, because there are more than five hundred steps, so unless it is ten or fifty, especially when it is a hundred, the increase will be slightly larger , the increase of other steps is relatively small, so the passers-by can have a process of adaptation.
Of course, if the strength is not enough, no matter how small the increase is, the accumulation will be very terrifying, and the fate of being eliminated will still be unavoidable in the end.
It's like boiling a frog in warm water. Although the temperature of the water is rising slowly, it will eventually boil.
For Xia Ruofei, the two hundred floors are far from the limit, so through climbing layers like this, his body is constantly adapting to the increasing pressure, so he can still maintain this relatively stable rhythm , looking at it makes people feel very relieved.
At this time, in the secret space full of purple air, Daoist Qingxuan and Master Shanhe looked at the picture of Xia Ruofei breaking through the barrier displayed on the bronze mirror magic weapon, and couldn't help nodding frequently.
Daoist Qingxuan smiled and said: "It seems that the poor Taoist is not mistaken. If there is no accident, this little baby should be able to break through the four hundredth floor!"
Master Shanhe said: "I still think he should be able to break the record! By the way, the monk who rushed to the 478th step and broke the ladder record more than two hundred years ago was called Xuanjizi, right?"
Daoist Qingxuan nodded with a smile and said: "That's right! When he climbed the ladder, he was still at the late Jindan stage."
"If I remember correctly, this mystery child should come from the Xuanming Cave!" Shanhe Daoist said, "This child's cultivation environment and resources are hundreds of times better than my disciple who came from the Shenzhou cultivation world... Daoist Qingxuan, what is the cultivation level of this mystery boy?"
"Xuanjizi has been cultivated in the late stage of Yuanshen, and five years ago, he began to close the death test, and he has not yet left the test! It must be the critical moment to break through the stage of leaving the body!" Qingxuan Daochang said with a smile, "If If all goes well, Daoist Brother Shanhe should see this genius who came out of the Xuanming Cave in the near future! At that time, my human monk will add another powerful battle force!"
Master Shanhe nodded slowly and said, "This cultivation speed is pretty good..."
"Haha! Xuanjizi passed the trial tower assessment with the best record in history, and the cultivation resources he obtained are unimaginable for ordinary monks!" Daoist Qingxuan said, "Of course, he did not disappoint. If he can Breaking through to the out-of-body stage within three hundred years is a very dazzling achievement even in the long history!"
Master Shanhe looked at Xia Ruofei who was steadily rising in the magic weapon of the bronze mirror, and said, "I believe that my disciple is no worse than Xuanjizi, but... I don't know if there is still so much time left for him to grow... "
Daoist Qingxuan sighed for a long time, and said: "Brother Daoist Daoist Shanhe, everything has its own destiny! I don't think your disciple is a person with low fortune. No matter what the future situation is, I believe he should be able to turn bad luck into good luck! "
"Haha! Brother Qingxuan's face-to-face skills have always been accurate, so I will lend you a good word!" Shanhe Daoist said with a laugh.
Daoist Qingxuan and Daoist Shanhe were chatting, while paying attention to Xia Ruofei's breakthrough. On the eighth floor of the trial tower, Xia Ruofei had already started climbing the 300th to 400th floors at a relatively stable pace.
