Chapter 1108 Nine Monsters
Although he was puzzled, Senior Brother Jiao did not take it seriously. There are all kinds of birds in the forest. The jurisdiction of Kuzhong City is so large that it is not a big deal to have some strange things happen. Senior Brother Jiao did not stop and stepped into the Hundred Refining Tower.
As Qingyang and Ma Xingchen disappeared from the gate of the tower, more than 300 contestants all entered the Hundred Refining Tower. Two foundation-building monks stepped forward to close the gate and waited for the result of the competition together.
As for Qingyang and others, after entering the first floor of the Hundred Refining Tower, no one else appeared in front of them. Even Ma Xingchen and Senior Brother Jiao who entered with him before disappeared, as if he was the only one left in the entire Hundred Refining Tower. Thinking of the news about the Hundred Refining Tower he heard outside before, Qingyang guessed that he might have entered the illusion array.
Sure enough, Qingyang walked forward for more than ten feet, and suddenly a first-level monster appeared next to him. This monster had protruding eyes and a huge mouth, a white belly and a red back, and countless large and small tumors on it. It looked very scary. Although the monster was squatting on the ground, its body was more than a foot tall.
Qingyang had seen this monster when he first entered the world of immortal cultivation. It was the Blue-eyed Red Clam. From the size of its body, it could be seen that it was a first-level monster, with the strength equivalent to the third level of Qi Refining.
The monster lay on the ground, staring at Qingyang with its eyes, its belly bulging, as if it was preparing to attack. Just as Qingyang was about to step forward, the monster seized the opportunity and shot out several water arrows. Fortunately, Qingyang was prepared and dodged the monster's water arrow attack by dodging the monster's water arrow attack. At the same time, he took a few steps and quickly stabbed the magic weapon in his hand towards the monster.
The monster saw that the situation was not good, and kicked his feet to dodge quickly, but his speed was much slower than Qingyang. Before his body left the ground, he was nailed to the ground by Qingyang's magic sword. Then Qingyang drew out his magic sword and slashed at the monster again. The monster struggled a few times and fell to the ground motionless. Many of the means at the bottom of the box were not used in time.
It was just a first-level monster. Qingyang glanced at the monster corpse on the ground, and then continued to walk forward. After more than ten feet, three blue-eyed red clams appeared in front of him. Without any sign, they attacked Qingyang from three directions.
The previous monster was just a warm-up. The difficulty of the Hundred Refining Tower could not be that low, so Qingyang was prepared for it and wielded the magic sword to kill it. The three monsters were much more difficult to deal with, but after all, they were first-level monsters, which were far inferior to the strength that Qingyang could exert now. It took only more than ten breaths of effort for Qingyang to kill them one by one.
Dealing with three first-level monsters at a time was not difficult for Qingyang, but for a cultivator in the early stage of Qi training, it was an extremely difficult task. There would not be many cultivators of the same level who could easily defeat them. Qingyang looked around and thought, this time he should have passed the test, right?
Who knew that just when Qingyang took a few steps forward, nine first-level blue-eyed red clams appeared in front of him and rushed towards Qingyang. Seeing so many first-level monsters gathering at the same time, Qingyang couldn't help but take a few steps back and cheer up to deal with the monsters' attacks.
No wonder there were rumors before that it was difficult for cultivators of the same level to pass through the corresponding level of the Hundred Refining Tower. Even the Lord of Kuzhong City, Master Jiao Mu, who was at the fifth level of the Golden Core, could only break through to the seventh level of the Hundred Refining Tower. Nine monsters of the same level appearing at once are not something that ordinary people can deal with.
Fortunately, Qingyang is no longer in the same situation as when he just fell into the Fallen Ghost Abyss. After refining Shangguan Yan's Mihe San, Qingyang can exert the strength equivalent to the perfection of Qi training. Coupled with his super strong defense, it is not a problem for him to wade through these monsters.
The only thing to be careful of is the poison sac on the back of the monster. The poisonous smoke and fog inside are extremely toxic. Even Qingyang dare not take it head-on. In this case, it is much more difficult to deal with these monsters. It took almost an incense stick of time to kill all nine monsters.
This time, it was really passed. Not long after the nine monsters were killed, they turned into little energy and disappeared. Then Qingyang walked forward for dozens of feet. He never encountered any monsters or other enemies. Instead, he came to the entrance of the second floor of the Hundred Refining Tower.
Qingyang didn't know how others passed the level, and how long it would take to pass the first floor of the Hundred Refining Tower, but he could estimate that his speed was definitely not the fastest, because among the more than 300 candidates, there were more than 20 in the late stage of Qi Refining, and there were also 30 to 40 in the sixth level of Qi Refining. Many of them had entered the Hundred Refining Tower before, and they should be familiar with the level.
Qingyang didn't hesitate too much and went directly to the second floor of the Hundred Refining Tower. Just like the first floor, the entire second floor was empty, as if Qingyang was the only one who came here. He walked forward carefully for more than ten feet, and suddenly a strong wind blew from the side. He turned his head and saw that a middle-stage copper-armored zombie had appeared over there and was rushing towards him.
The zombie's super strong attack and defense may have a great advantage in front of other cultivators, but facing Qingyang, these advantages cannot be brought into play. With Qingyang's current strength, it is not a problem to deal with the middle-stage copper-armored zombie, but it is not easy to defeat the opponent.
The reason is that Qingyang's attack power is somewhat lacking. Qingyang had considered this before. When buying the materials for Miyuan Gulingdan, he also bought a top-grade magic sword, which cost him nearly fifty spirit stones. The more expensive ones are low-grade spiritual tools, which cost two or three hundred spirit stones. Although he had so many spirit stones at the time, he didn't dare to spend them carelessly. Once he spent all the spirit stones on spiritual tools, it would not be enough to buy the materials for Miyuan Gulingdan. Healing is more important.
It is easy to injure the copper-armored zombie with a top-grade magic sword, but it is more difficult to kill the zombie directly. It is necessary to find the vital parts to start with, which is more difficult.
Of course, the mid-stage iron-armored zombie is still far inferior to Qingyang. Although it is difficult to deal with it, it cannot change the situation of failure. After more than ten breaths, Qingyang found a flaw and stabbed the copper-armored zombie with a sword, ending the battle quickly.
After that, Qingyang stepped forward and continued to challenge the next step. I won't go into detail about the specific situation. In short, although the second floor of the Hundred Refining Tower is difficult, it can't stop him from moving forward.
While Qingyang and others were breaking through the level inside, the outside of the Hundred Refining Tower became more and more lively. Everyone stared at the Hundred Refining Tower intently, waiting for the result of the preliminary selection of the Holy Son. Time passed quickly. After two quarters of an hour, someone was teleported out of the Hundred Refining Tower in a mess.
