Chapter 134: Climbing
"Tamarind is very common in Jingzhou. It is wood in nature, hard yet soft, relatively hard, and is the main material for making swords."
"The flame-supporting stone comes from all over the land of Kyushu. Its nature is fire. It is often used to help increase the fire power of swords."
"The red heart flower is very common in Liangzhou. Its nature is water. It is an auxiliary material for sword making and is used to help the sword take shape."
…
Huan Yin kept reaching out to get the materials in front of him. As soon as he got each piece, he didn't need to think at all, he could subconsciously give the answer through his spiritual thoughts. Then the material he obtained instantly turned into a classic and was sent back by him again.
In this way, about ten breaths of time passed, and Huan Yin had already identified three hundred kinds of materials. These materials were too basic for Huan Yin, and they were all on the light curtain cast by the pillars outside the Jiange platform, so it was impossible for him to admit his mistake.
Now, as long as Huan Yin sends out his spiritual thoughts, he can leave here and truly enter the first floor of the nine-story pagoda, because he has already passed it. However, he did not do this, but continued to reach out for materials and continued to identify them.
Although this kind of assessment is very basic and easy, for Huan Yin it is like an opportunity to consolidate the knowledge he has learned. The strange assessment method here allowed Huan Yin to gain access to 3,000 materials in a short period of time. This was so convenient. How could Huan Yin miss such an opportunity?
Next, Huan Yin spent less than a moment to identify the three thousand materials one by one. Only then did he smile slightly and say that his spiritual mind had truly passed the test.
At this moment, what Huan Yin didn't know was that the last of the four white light pillars on the left side of the nine-story pagoda suddenly had a very small name, which was "Huan Yin".
However, not only did Huan Yin not know that his name appeared in the light pillar, but even the people outside the tower didn't notice it. Because the names in that beam of light are densely packed and countless, and the fonts are so tiny that if you don't look carefully, you can't see them clearly - no one will care about who passed the first level assessment of the Nine-Storied Pagoda when, because then It's simply not worth mentioning.
After Huan Yin came out of the dark void, he was transported to the center of the first floor of the Nine-Storey Tower. Huan Yin looked at the rows of bookshelves around him and felt a little proud. Today he entered here without spending a single spirit stone, and he can come here whenever he wants, and no one can take half a spirit stone from his storage bag.
Huan Yin's appearance attracted the attention of the monks from Yijian Peak nearby. Especially among them, several of them had seen Huan Yin when they came here yesterday to look through the classics. What they are thinking at this moment is: Is this "foreign casual cultivator" here to contribute to my Yijian Peak again today?
Next, when Huan Yin walked towards the light curtain on the second floor, they became more sure of their thoughts. Someone who has something good to say even wants to ask Huan Yin: "Don't you want to wander around for a while before going up?"
But soon, these monks were stunned. Because they saw that Huan Yin did not take out the spirit stone in front of the second layer of light screen, but directly stretched out his hand to press the light screen. After that, Huan Yin disappeared there.
As monks from Yijian Peak, they could not tell that Huan Yin was challenging the assessment in the tower. However, in their opinion, it is impossible for Huan Yin, a "foreign casual cultivator" to pass the second-level assessment, because the level of casual cultivators has always been extremely poor, and more than 90% of those who come to challenge him are in vain. A person who has courage but no knowledge at all.
The Yijianfeng monks on the first floor who noticed Huan Yin had a joking expression on their faces. They were ready, and when Huan Yin failed and was shaken out by the light curtain, they would ridicule this "foreign casual cultivator" who didn't know the heights of the world.
Time passed by breath by breath, until the faces of the Yijianfeng monks who wanted to see Huan Yin's jokes turned into impatience, confusion, and even a hint of surprise, Huan Yin was already standing on the second floor of the Nine-Storied Pagoda. layer.
The assessment to enter the second level is to identify 500 out of 5,000 materials to pass. Although there were a lot more materials, common materials like light steel and wood still appeared, and even heavy single leaves did not appear, so Huan Yin quickly identified all 5,000 materials, and a good Passed the second level assessment perfectly.
At this moment, Huan Yin's name appeared in the penultimate of the four white light pillars on the left side of the nine-story tower. This time, Huan Yin's name was slightly larger, but it was still so inconspicuous among the densely packed names covering and blocking each other.
Next, Huan Yin will challenge the qualification to enter the third level. He was familiar with the road and quickly found the second layer of light curtain, then reached out and pressed it, entering the nothingness of the assessment again.
To enter the third-level assessment, you need to identify one thousand types of sword-making materials from ten thousand types to pass. In this assessment, the level is probably heavy on single leaf or slightly more difficult.
For Huan Yin, whether it is light steel, wood or heavy single leaf, there is almost no difference between it and fine iron. Because he had read too many classics, his knowledge of knowledge was beyond even Zhao O's reach.
After about half an hour, Huan Yin identified ten thousand materials one by one and entered the third floor. His name also appeared in the second white light pillar outside the nine-story tower.
This level is the highest level that Huan Yin entered yesterday using the flower spirit stone. It is also where the fourth level assessment light curtain is located. According to Zhao Wei, he has passed this level so far, and he will not pass the next level.
When Huan Yin walked to the light curtain of the third floor and stretched out his hand to press it, the disciples of Yijianfeng around him noticed him.
"What is this outsider cultivator going to do? Challenge?" A disciple of Yijianfeng saw Huan Yin's action and started discussing.
"How is it possible for this kid to challenge the qualification to enter the fourth floor? Not to mention that he is an outsider cultivator, even if I am a disciple of Yijianfeng at his age, it is impossible for him to pass." Another Yijianfeng disciple said.
"If I remember correctly, since the construction of the Nine-Layered Pagoda, there have been less than a hundred outsider cultivators who have passed the fourth-level assessment, right? This kid, he actually wants to challenge? Isn't this a joke?"
Perhaps you think that a hundred outsider cultivators who have passed the fourth-level qualification assessment is a considerable number, but it has been many years since the construction of the Nine-Layered Pagoda, and there are probably no less than a million outsider cultivators who have participated in the assessment on this level!
The cultivators who can pass this level of assessment are truly one in ten thousand, which is why the disciples of Yijianfeng around are extremely surprised by Huan Yin's behavior.
As for Huan Yin, he had already entered a dark void, and in front of him were densely packed materials that could not even be seen at a glance.
A familiar voice sounded again: "The test of the fourth floor of the Nine-Layered Pagoda, 50,000 casting materials, and you will pass if you recognize 5,000. The test begins!"
50,000! At this moment, there were 50,000 kinds of sword-making materials in front of Huan Yin, which was four times more than the previous 10,000! It was no wonder that the disciples of Yijian Peak were so surprised to see Huan Yin's behavior just now. I am afraid that this is why among the more than one million foreign weapon cultivators, only less than one hundred passed this level of assessment.
Huan Yin was also shocked when he saw the countless materials in front of him. After all, so many materials appeared in front of him at the same time, which was simply a strange experience.
However, Huan Yin's surprise soon turned into excitement. Because Huan Yin is studious, and even more obsessed with learning! Now there are 50,000 different sword-making materials in front of him. For him, it is simply the best way to test what he has learned and the best way for him to consolidate his knowledge.
Huan Yin, with excitement, began to reach out and call over the materials in front of him one by one, and then identified them one by one.
The materials for this test were not only huge in quantity, but also much more difficult than before. Among these 50,000 materials, some of them were not recorded on the pillars of the platform outside the sword pavilion. In other words, Gao Shan and Xiao Tian might not be able to pass this level of test even if they came here.
Of course, these materials were still not difficult for Huan Yin. The materials he had seen in the classics were far more than those that appeared in this level of test, and he recognized all the materials here.
After about an hour and a half, Huan Yin had identified all the 50,000 materials here without missing a single one. He was a little tired and took a deep breath, sent out his divine thoughts, and teleported out from the void.
On the first white light column on the left side of the Nine-Layered Pagoda, a palm-sized name appeared at this moment, and it was "Huan Yin".
This time, several disciples had noticed the movement on the light column, and they began to discuss it.
"Brother, look, there is a fellow disciple named Huan Yin who passed the fourth level qualification test. It's amazing!" A young Yijianfeng disciple said to the young cultivator beside him.
"Huan Yin? I don't think there is anyone named Huan Yin in my Yijianfeng sect, right? I do remember that in the most recent newcomers' martial arts competition, a disciple from Wuliangmen shined, and his name seemed to be Huan Yin." The young man said.
"Is this Huan Yin a foreign participant?"
"How is it possible? The level of foreign participants is low and not worth mentioning at all. I think Senior Zhao Wo in my sect has only passed this level. Is there anyone who can compare with him in this foreign participant?"
"It's hard to say. Maybe he is really an outsider. It's really interesting. I wonder if he will make it."
Gradually, some of the curious disciples of Yijianfeng began to gather in groups of three or five beside the Nine-Layered Pagoda, pointing at the word "Huan Yin" on the white light column and saying something non-stop, as if they were also waiting to see if this "Huan Yin" would continue to make it.
