Chapter 1723 The Eighth Floor of Duobao Pavilion
Standing at the staircase on the eighth floor of Duobao Pavilion, Qingyang hesitated for a moment, then randomly selected a room and walked in. What kind of treasure he could get in the end depended on luck.
The interior of Duobao Pavilion's room was similar to the one that appeared during the test of the heart. It could not be seen from the outside, but the space inside was large enough to support a fierce battle between the monks and the magic beasts. There was an altar table against the wall at the innermost part of the room, which was protected by a layer of prohibition. On the table was a three-foot-long box. The reward treasure should be in the box.
In the middle of the room was a white rat-shaped magic beast. The magic beast was lying on the ground. It looked only the size of an adult, but its strength was equivalent to the peak of the eighth level of the Nascent Soul, and it was only one step away from the ninth level of the Nascent Soul. Qingyang entered the room and immediately startled the rat-shaped magic beast on the ground. It raised its head and released a monstrous magic beast momentum. A cold light flashed in its two red eyes, and then the whole body disappeared from the spot. At the same time, the threat of death rushed towards Qingyang.
The speed of the rat-shaped monster was amazing, and even Qingyang could only see a trace of its afterimage. The strength of the monster, which was equivalent to the peak of the eighth level of the Nascent Soul, should not be underestimated. It was not much worse than the rat beast they encountered when they picked the Lingying fruit. If Qingyang had not improved his strength by one level during this period, he might not even see its afterimage. Fortunately, Qingyang made sufficient preparations before entering the room this time. He expected that the monster in the room would be difficult to deal with, so he sacrificed his magic weapon in advance. Seeing that the threat of death was approaching, Qingyang did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly used the Five Elements Sword Formation to block it in front of him.
Then Qingyang felt as if he had hit a mountain. The opposite side was not affected at all, and the Five Elements Sword Formation collapsed directly. Qingyang's whole body was uncontrollably retreated several steps before he stood firm. Then his face turned pale, and he finally suppressed the surging blood in his body.
At this point, Qingyang had to admit that he had been a little too arrogant before. The magic beast equivalent to the peak of the eighth level of the Nascent Soul was much stronger than he had imagined, and the possibility of defeating it was very small. However, it was useless to regret it now. There was only one chance. If he retreated now, he would get nothing. He had to grit his teeth and fight this time.
There was no other way, so Qingyang had to release the Iron Arm Monkey to help. The Iron Arm Monkey was a demon beast, and its attack and defense power were not much worse than those of the same level of magic beasts. However, the difference in cultivation between him and the rat-type magic beast was too great, and he was no match for it in a head-on confrontation. He could only serve as Qingyang's assistant.
In this way, even if Qingyang and the Iron Arm Monkey fought the rat-type magic beast together, they were still at a disadvantage. Qingyang was forced to retreat frequently, and the Iron Arm Monkey was also injured several times. So Qingyang released the alcoholic bee colony again. They fought with more people against fewer, and finally recovered a little.
The battle was so intense that the sky was dark and the sun and moon were dim. After several hours, the three of them had tried their best. The rat-shaped monster was finally killed by them, but the situation of Qingyang and the other two was not much better. They were almost at the end of their rope.
The alcoholic queen bee was over-exhausted, so she sealed herself in the beehive after returning to the Drunken Immortal Gourd. The iron-armed monkey was covered with wounds, and there was no intact place on his body. If it weren't for his thick skin and strong vitality, he would have died long ago. As for Qingyang, he lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up. It took more than half an hour for him to recover some strength before he stood up.
Just like the situation in the first level of the Heart-Searching Valley, the body of the rat-shaped monster had disappeared with the spiritual light. Only the innermost altar was left in the huge room. Qingyang took the iron-armed monkey back to the Drunken Immortal Gourd, came to the altar, lifted the ban and opened the box on the table.
The box contained a green soft armor, which looked ordinary at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it was found that the soft armor had a restrained aura, and was obviously not an ordinary item. Although some of the special features contained in it were not as good as Qingyang's Ziyun Tongxiao Ding, they were not much worse, and should be a spiritual treasure.
The treasures used by low-level cultivators are usually magic tools and spiritual tools. These treasures do not require high materials, and cultivators cannot refine and store them in their bodies. They can only be carried on their backs or placed in the object-storing talisman. When fighting, they use their divine thoughts to control and kill the enemy. The magic tools and aura will not change with the improvement of the cultivator's strength. After the cultivator's strength is improved, a higher-level treasure needs to be replaced to assist in the battle.
When the cultivator's strength is improved to the Jindan realm, he can collect better materials to refine his own magic weapon. The biggest difference of the own magic weapon is that it can be stored in the cultivator's Dantian for warming, and has a strong growth potential, and can continuously increase its power with the improvement of the cultivator's strength.
Because of the material, the life magic weapon of the cultivator will not disappear after death. Some will be split into materials and sold to others, some will be made into talismans and left to future generations and relatives for self-defense, and some will be obtained by other cultivators and used as auxiliary magic weapons in battle.
This kind of auxiliary magic weapon is also divided into levels. The ones left by Jindan cultivators to Huashen cultivators are ancient treasures, and those left by Lianxu cultivators and above can be called spiritual treasures, which means that treasures of this level are already spiritual. It is said that there are even spiritual treasures above spiritual treasures, which are not accessible to Qingyang.
In the world where Qingyang lives, the strongest are only the Divine Transformation cultivators. It is not difficult to obtain an ancient treasure, but it is extremely difficult to obtain a spiritual treasure. There are probably not many in the entire Ancient Wind Continent. Qingyang was able to obtain the spiritual treasure-level Ziyun Tongxiao Ding before, which was a complete surprise of luck. I didn't expect to get one in this Duobao Pavilion today, and it is a defensive spiritual treasure that is more valuable and rarer than offensive spiritual treasures.
Qingyang picked up the green soft armor and observed it carefully. He couldn't tell what materials it was made of, nor could he judge what refining techniques were used. He only knew that this spiritual treasure was of a high level and its defensive ability was absolutely amazing. Even if it was not as good as Ziyun Tongxiao Ding, it should not be much worse.
Qingyang's attack power has always been no problem. Once the Five Elements Sword Formation is out, killing enemies across levels is a piece of cake. Moreover, he also obtained the method of practicing the Great Five Elements Sword Formation in the Shenying Valley a few years ago. If he can practice it, his strength will be greatly improved again. However, compared with his attack ability, Qingyang's defense ability is lacking. He can barely deal with the attacks of cultivators of the same level. Once he is hit by a cultivator with strength exceeding his own, he will definitely die. Now that he has obtained such a treasure, his defense ability will be greatly enhanced in the future, and the shortcomings will be made up. As long as he has this spiritual armor, he can block ordinary attacks even if his full power is not activated.
