The 2nd floor of the Demon-Suppressing Tower!

  Ye Chen and the monk nearby exchanged a few words, they didn't know each other and there was nothing more to say, the atmosphere quickly cooled down, both of them sat in meditation, seizing the time to recover their spiritual power, preparing to challenge the second floor of the Town Demon Tower.

  Ye Chen and Zhu Dahao were unharmed and didn't need any treatment for injuries. They just needed to recover their spiritual energy.

  The light in the hall flashed again, and a young Taoist priest appeared somewhat disheveled not far from Ye Chen.

  "Willow Green".

  Ye Chen was slightly stunned and recognized the monk who had come.

  "Yè Chén zhāo" Good writing is not seen! Liǔ Qīng almost simultaneously saw Yè Chén, slightly stunned, and forced a smile on his face. Then he turned around to the corner of the hall and bandaged his wound. As the former number one hut owner, he certainly didn't have any good feelings towards Yè Chén, but he also didn't dare offend him.

  Ye Chen silently rubbed his nose.

  In the Demon-Suppressing Tower, all damage caused by the Illusory Demonic Beasts is real. Wherever you get hurt, that's where you'll be injured. However, once a cultivator is seriously injured inside the tower, they will immediately be sent out of the tower by the formation and receive timely treatment, so generally no one dies here, making it relatively safe to cultivate.

  Ye Chen's spiritual power recovered quickly, and he saw Zhu Dahu and Qian Shanli still recovering their spiritual power. He stood up and came to the central part of the hall alone. He looked at the stone tablet and the counter, which were the only two things that stood out in the hall.

  On the black stone monument, a group of golden light-infused numbers were shining and jumping continuously.

  When Ye Chen just arrived, the number on it was 150. After a short while, it jumped to over 170. Every time a cultivator appeared in this mid-way rest hall, the number would rise by one digit. Sometimes several cultivators would appear at once, and the number would immediately rise by several digits.

  Ye Chen was deep in thought.

  "This should be the number of people who have passed through the Demon Tower's first floor!"

  Isn't it said that over 170 people have arrived here?

  Ye Chen glanced around the hall.

  There were only forty or fifty monks in the hall, many of whom were masters of the hut.

  "It seems that many others have already entered the second floor of the Demon Tower."

  Ye Chen said quietly.

  Zhu Dahao has recovered and stood up, walking towards Ye Chen's side to observe these stone tablets and cabinets. Qian Shanli, Feng Yan, and Li Qiao have not yet recovered.

  Ye Chen just had to be patient and wait a little longer.

  He looked at those counters again, sealed with strange formations, each containing a small jade box. Only "don't know what these jade boxes are for".

  "It's said that the items inside are all rewards for passing levels. A cultivator who can pass a level within a very short time can take out an excellent spiritual instrument from it! However, only cultivators at the Qi Refining stage or lower can take something from the first floor of the Demon Tower, and those above the Qi Refining stage cannot. Moreover, they can only take one item and cannot repeat the process. This is a reward given by the Immortal City to encourage top-notch cultivators."

  Zhu Dahao said with some envy, "Few cultivators can take something out of this."

  "Does each floor of the Demon Tower have a reward?"

  "Is there such a reward on the fifth floor?"

  Ye Chen asked in surprise.

  "The front three floors of the Demon Tower all have such a counter. I haven't been to the fifth floor, but logically it should also be there."

  Zhu Dahao shook his head and said.

  Ye Chen nodded and waited until he reached the fifth floor to see if he could get the reward items inside the Demon Tower.

  In the hall, more and more monks appeared one after another. Most of them were in a hurry, recovering their magic powers in the hall, tidying up briefly before heading to the second floor.

  Ye Chen carefully scanned, and found that many of them were wind system cultivators, with extremely light footsteps. With the strong running and dodging abilities of the wind system cultivators, if they didn't kill the Illusory Mouse, they would be able to rush through quickly.

  "The first floor's mouse fleas are really annoying. They're everywhere."

  Another flash of light, a strong and powerful man appeared in the hall, carrying an axe. He let out a few loud complaints, looked around at the situation in the hall, and suddenly burst into laughter "Wow, so many people!"

  He saw the numbers on the stone tablet and shouted loudly, "I chopped with one axe, I chopped with one axe, and let you all pass like this. How can there be only over 180 people who passed the first layer? If I had chopped a bit harder, wouldn't they have all followed behind my butt?"

  The hall was originally quiet, with very few voices. A loud shout from a strong and powerful man, the monks in the hall suddenly turned their heads to look over, seeing Wei Ming shouting loudly.

  "Everyone work a bit harder, I'll give you all some extra time to catch up."

  Wei Ming shook his head and strode towards the second floor passageway of the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

  Wei Ming

  "The Third Hut's Master Wei Ming"

  As soon as the crowd saw Wei Ming, some people frowned and others who didn't want to cause trouble hurriedly avoided him so as not to block Wei Ming's way.

  One of the three strongest cultivators in this tower climbing event, Wei Ming is not someone to be trifled with.

  "Really arrogant! Relying on being the third hut owner, thinking he's above others, who would even bother with him?"

  A low voice grumbled in discontent.

  Ye Chen turned his head and saw that it was the monk he had met as soon as he entered the hall, who was staring at Wei Ming with a very disgusted look.

  "How is Wei Ming?"

  Ye Chen's heart moved and he asked that person. Wei Ming was one of his greatest canine opponents in the late stages of the tower, but seemed to have poor relationships.

  "You look very young, sixteen or seventeen years old, you should be a disciple of some big family! Don't you know Wei Ming?"

  That monk spoke strangely.

  "No, I'm a loose cultivator! It's not long since I came to Xiancheng." Ye Chen said calmly.

  "Are you a loose cultivator?"

  The monk's face changed slightly, and his originally cold expression added a few points of closeness. "You are not a Xiancheng monk, you don't know some things about the big clan monks. This Wei Ming has a bad reputation, even evil. Don't look at him looking rough and stupid, but his mind is extremely high. The monks who suffered greatly under his hands, countless."

  The monk Yü stopped speaking and shook his head, "If you have the chance to meet him in the future, you will naturally know!"

  "Better keep a distance from him, it's safer."

  "Oh."

  Ye Chen hehe smiled.

  "This young brother, you are at the fourth layer of Qi Refining period. You should have a 10-20% chance of obtaining a Xianmen Token in the Tower Challenge. However, even if you don't succeed this time, with your age, you should be able to enter Xianmen within two years. Entering Xianmen at the age of 17 or 18 is already very good, and it's much better than other cultivators who are 24 or 25 years old. If you can gain the attention of a senior from Xianmen and focus on your cultivation, you will have great prospects. But don't go provoke those large family heirs and Xianmen heirs, lest you bring trouble upon yourself."

  Forget it, I'll take the lead. Little brother, take care of yourself. If you encounter any difficulties in Xian City in the future, just mention my name, Xu Ao, and it might be of some use."

  The monk said a lot, seeing Ye Chen didn't seem to care much, and couldn't help but feel annoyed, turning around and leaving.

  Zhu Dahao remained silent, and only after the cultivator left did he whisper to Ye Chen, "The one just now was Xu Ao, the 126th hut master, a small family cultivator from Xian City, who is quite righteous."

  "He doesn't seem to recognize you! Your name is more useful than his in Xian City."

  Ye Chen bitterly smiled and shook his head "Many don't know me either, it's impossible for every single house owner to recognize me".

  "That's also true, he should have heard of your name, but hasn't seen you."

  Zhu Dahao nodded.

  Ye Chen turned his head and saw that Qian Shanli, Feng Yan, and Li Qiao had also recovered their magic powers, and they walked towards him.

  "Run".

  Ye Chen said to the four of them.

  Ye Chen led them to a light gate inside the rest hall.

  As soon as you enter this gate, return to the second floor of the demon-suppressing tower, and walk through the corridor where the illusory demonic beasts pass.

  At this time, more and more monks arrived at the rest hall.

  "Ye brothers, nearly two hundred cultivators have already passed the first layer, and the competition is extremely fierce. Otherwise, Brother Ye, you can go and charge alone, and we four will charge by ourselves?"

  Zhu Dahao rubbed his head with some worry and said.

  "Two of us were already quite far ahead among the nearly ten thousand cultivators who rushed to the tower, and Wei Ming arrived later than us. The difference between before and after is just a short while, which has little impact on me. However, it has a greater impact on you."

  Ye Chen thought for a moment, shook his head and said "Continue! I'll take you two more floors to reduce some pressure on you. When we reach the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors, I'll go all out. The tower rush will last for a month, and the first two or three floors will only take one or two days."

  "Good."

  Zhu Dahao and Feng Yan exchanged a glance, and finally nodded slightly.

  Ye Chen rushed into the light gate first.

  Whoosh!

  His figure disappeared from the corner of the light gate.

  Ye Chen had just appeared in the second floor corridor of the Town Demon Tower, and in the slightly dark corridor, a sharp, piercing cry was heard, followed by a liquid arrow emitting a dark green light that shot towards him.

  Ye Chen had just come in from the bright hall, his eyes not yet adjusted to the dark corridor, and suddenly he couldn't see objects clearly in the darkness.

  Fortunately, his divine consciousness was not affected by the darkness.

  Ye Chen's eyes turned cold, his figure agilely dodged to one side, avoiding the incoming green liquid. The Huo Ling knife in his hand instantly slashed forward with a fierce chop.

  Hmph!

  A dark, illusory beast was cut in two by this flame-like blade.

  "Phantom Serpent Venom".

  Ye Chen only then saw clearly, and broke out in a cold sweat.

  No sooner had he entered than he encountered a Phantom Serpent by his side. He almost got poisoned by the green venom. He had an antidote, but it was time-consuming and troublesome to drive out the poison.

  Zhu Dahao and the other three figures appeared one after another, each holding a spiritual knife or sword, as they entered the passageway.

  Ye Chen's eyes gradually adapted to the dim light in the corridor, looking forward. In this straight corridor, there were many first-class medium-level illusionary poisonous snakes and first-class medium-level water-based illusionary rabbits, far fewer than the illusionary mice on the first floor of the Demon Tower.

  Whether it's the Illusory Serpent or the Illusory Rabbit, they have one thing in common: their venom and water arrow spells have a very long range. Dealing with them is much more difficult than dealing with the Illusory Mouse.

  "How long will it take for you to pass the second floor of this town's demon tower?"

  Ye Chen said calmly.

  "I need three days! And also bring enough antidotes, otherwise I won't be able to get out of the tower in three days."

  Zhu Dahao sighed with a bitter smile.
