Li Yunxiao's heart skipped a beat as he said with a frown, "Saber Sword Sect? Son-in-law? "He seemed to have thought of something as his expression turned strange.
After the battle yesterday, he had immediately gone into seclusion to recover. He had only come out now and did not mention the battle with Chen Feng to anyone. Now, he seemed to understand why the people from the Saber Sword Sect would appear outside Song Yueyang City. If this person was here to participate in the cultivation technique, then Chen Feng …
He suddenly realized that something was wrong. Since no one knew him yesterday, he could just leave after beating up the son of the Saber Sword Sect's sect leader. However, if Chen Feng appeared tomorrow, wouldn't he recognize him?
He was not afraid of anything. However, his current strength was too low and he could not fight against the seven super powers.
Ding Ling 'er also carefully explained to him about the Mando Merchant Association. As expected, it was the same as Li Yunxiao had guessed. He could not help but feel a headache coming on. He hoped that Chen Feng's injuries were too severe and he would not be able to participate in the competition tomorrow. He now regretted not stepping on Chen Feng a few more times and breaking a few more bones.
Ding Ling 'er saw the worry on his face and thought that he was worried after knowing the other party's identity. She smiled calmly and said, "It's fine. No matter who we face, the Heavenly Yuan Merchant Association will always be with Young Master Yun!"
Li Yunxiao knew that she had misunderstood, but he still felt slightly sad. He smiled lightly and did not explain.
"Impudent!"
Xiao Jingming flew into a rage. With his lofty status, he could not tolerate anyone offending him, let alone in front of the woman he liked. This was a taboo for every man. He slammed the table and stood up. His longsword emitted a sharp sound as it pierced through the air. He wanted to take Li Yunxiao's life.
In his eyes, these people from the merchant association were a bunch of country bumpkins. He had already given them enough face by participating in the cultivation technique. Yet, there were still people who were blind enough to want to court death. When he saw that Li Yunxiao was a Five Star Martial Monarch, he attacked without hesitation.
"No!"
Quan Min cried out in alarm, but it was already too late. Moreover, Xiao Jingming didn't seem to listen to him. In a moment of panic, he cast a glance at Shui Luoyan. Although Shui Luoyan's marriage partner was Chen Feng, who would have thought that this young arcane master from the Saber Sword Sect would be so infatuated with her.
Shui Luoyan turned her head slightly and pretended not to see anything. Her gaze followed Xiao Jingming's sword and stared at it indifferently.
"Ignorant!"
Li Yunxiao snorted softly and raised his hand. He stretched out his two fingers and pinched the blade of the sword. He smiled knowingly.
Xiao Jingming immediately discovered that the sword could no longer move in the slightest. Not only that, but a wave of power directly came from the sword, causing his body to tremble. He was immediately shocked.
"Scram!"
Li Yunxiao softly spat out a single word. His two fingers changed direction and flicked the sword. Immediately, an extremely powerful dragon roar resounded, causing the ears of the surrounding people to ring incessantly.
As for Xiao Jingming, half of his body went numb from the huge shock. His entire body was sent flying towards the seats of the Mando Merchant Group.
Quan Min hurriedly flew up and caught Xiao Jingming. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility if this old man was injured.
"Damn it, damn it! Kill him, quickly kill him for me!"
Xiao Jingming's face was completely red as he roared. He already knew that he couldn't beat his opponent, so he didn't dare to go up and humiliate himself. He continuously roared at Quan Min.
Without waiting for Quan Min to reply, Cui Bo indifferently said, "Alright, stop messing around. Since you're all here, let's begin. If anyone continues to cause trouble, they will be disqualified. "
This time, Xiao Jingming also calmed down and didn't dare to cause any more trouble. His mission was to obtain first place. If he was disqualified and couldn't complete his mission, the consequences would be extremely severe. However, his face was purple from embarrassment and anger. He didn't dare to look at the woman he loved. His hatred for Li Yunxiao had risen to the level of his number one enemy.
Shui Luoyan indifferently said, "Young Master Xiao doesn't need to take it to heart. This person's strength is a little strange, and Young Master Xiao is a master of alchemy. Naturally, you can't compete with him. However, this person seems to be the Heavenly Yuan Merchant Group's representative. When Young Master Xiao defeats him, you will naturally be able to vent your anger. "
"Oh? He's actually someone who knows alchemy? That's really great! "
Xiao Jingming's fingernails were about to dig into his flesh. He stared at Li Yunxiao with a heart full of anger.
As Cui Bo's words rang out, the huge plaza that was packed with tens of thousands of people became completely silent. Everyone's gaze was focused on the seats of the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower in the center, waiting for his announcement. They all started to become nervous.
Cui Bo said, "I won't be long-winded. Same old rules. The matter of the alchemy technique will test the comprehensive ability of the alchemist. As usual, the criteria will be based on the clearance of the tower." He flipped his palm, and an exquisite small round pagoda slowly flew out. The pagoda vibrated and flickered with seven different rays of light. The power was a little chaotic.
"Next, let's invite the representatives of the various merchant associations to inspect the tower."
Cui Bo first made a gesture, and a ray of light on the tower disappeared. Then, he gave a light push, and the tower immediately flew to Luo Ying on the left side of the Four Extremes Gate.
After Luo Ying received it, she scanned the tower with her divine sense and extinguished a ray of light. She said indifferently, "No problem." She passed it to the people of the Money Gang again.
Only then did Li Yunxiao understand. It turned out that this tower was jointly sealed by the seven merchant associations and handed over to the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower to manage. At this moment, if the alchemy technique was used again, it would require the people of the seven merchant associations to check whether their seals were intact and whether the tower had been tampered with.
As everyone's technique was different, and they were all extremely brilliant, the possibility of the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower breaking through the seal laid by the other six merchant associations to tamper with it was zero. Furthermore, every merchant association would check the inside again before unsealing it to ensure that nothing went wrong.
After everyone checked it one by one, the tower was passed to Ding Ling 'er, and only a ray of light was left flickering on it. She checked it carefully, and withdrew the last ray of light with a unique technique. She pushed the tower back to Cui Bo's hand, and said, "No problem."
Cui Bo smiled slightly, took the tower, and said, "Since all the representatives have checked it, it proves that everything is normal with this tower. Then, I'll take it out."
He gently waved his left hand forward, and a ray of green light slowly appeared, dragging the tower towards the center.
As soon as it touched the ground, there was a huge tremor, and it slowly grew bigger. In a few breaths, it became three hundred meters tall, and had a circumference of thirty to forty meters. It stood majestically in the center of Song Yueyang City, and looked extremely magnificent from the sky.
"Everyone, give me the key."
Cui Bo spread out his hands, and the other six representatives each took out a small gold-inlaid jade, and shot it at the door of the tower.
The door was engraved with the appearance of two old men, one meditating to refine pills, and the other condensing lightning to refine weapons. The expressions and movements of the two were vividly depicted, and even the finger seals in their hands were basic refining techniques, standard textbook movements.
Around the two old men was the most ordinary refining array. The seven array eyes were all caved in, and a piece of material was missing, which was the key guarded by the seven people.
The seven rays of light shot into the array eyes, and suddenly there was movement on the door. The two silent old men suddenly moved, and the hand seals in their hands began to change. The door also slowly opened, and a corridor appeared, leading to the depths of the tower.
Everyone held their breath, and during this process, they didn't dare to breathe too loudly. Only when the door opened did they start to breathe.
"Everyone, I won't say much about the rules. This tower has a total of nine floors, representing the strength of the first to the ninth order. Whoever can reach the highest floor wins."
Cui Bo made an inviting gesture, and said, "From now on, if someone stays in a realm for more than an hour, it means that their strength can only stop there, and they will be automatically transported out. The top ten people will be awarded ten points according to their ranking. This tower has already been set up with an age restriction, and those over thirty cannot enter. Participating brats, please enter. "
Although this method of using the Technique Tower as a method of testing one's skill level wasn't completely accurate, it was still a relatively common method on the continent.
As soon as the door opened, everyone rushed in impatiently. Most of them were disciples from small chambers of commerce, hoping to seize a good opportunity. However, that was only psychological comfort. The real result had nothing to do with the order.
A seemingly middle-aged man was very nervous, and he asked, "I just happen to be thirty this year, can I participate?"
Cui Bo glanced at him indifferently, and said, "You'll know once you go in and try. If your actual age is too old, you can't enter this door."
The middle-aged man walked forward with a nervous look on his face, and gently stepped into the door. His whole body entered unimpeded, and he was immediately ecstatic. His laughter came from inside.
Nanmen Xingye coldly sneered, "You're just a sixth-order alchemist. What's the use even if you enter?"
Cui Yuan said, "You can't say that. The effect of this Technique Tower isn't just to test the level of strength, it's also very beneficial to the cultivation of skill. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people rushing to participate in the competition. It's just for cultivation, and the ones who really have the strength to compete are only the few of us. "
After the two finished talking, they also entered one after another.
"Brat, I'll wait for you inside. Come in if you have the guts!"
Xiao Jingming raised his finger and pointed at Li Yunxiao, and fiercely said, and directly rushed in.
Tang Xin laughed, "Just a mad dog, don't bother with him."
Li Yunxiao simply ignored him, nodded, and then entered the Technique Tower.
The black passage went straight up, and soon, it was bright. The entire interior was actually a vacuum, and there was nothing inside. Many young alchemists were floating in it, and slowly rising up.
Li Yunxiao was slightly surprised. Every Technique Tower's method of testing was different, and this tower didn't seem to be that simple. He didn't know who made it, but it gave off a somewhat ancient feeling.
He slowly walked into the yellow light, and the scenery in front of him changed, turning into a warm spring world, and there was actually a universe inside!
