Chapter 25: Black Needle

  When Yuan Tian entered the Eight Treasures Tower, he was only at the fourth level of cultivation. Li Yi, who was also at the fourth level of cultivation, couldn't even get past the first layer.

  Liu Zhong's seven-layer Qi training had only reached the second layer, and he couldn't get past it. As for breaking through the third layer, even Fan Weidong himself couldn't do it.

  The many disciples outside the tower were still chattering non-stop. Yuan Tian had not started to venture into the third layer for such a long time, and everyone had already guessed that he was temporarily improving his cultivation.

  Outside the tower, in addition to the disciples who participated in the challenge, there were also many relatives and friends who came to help. For example, Xiaobai, who loved to nag, was accompanied by his aunt.

  However, his aunt was very cold and didn't discuss with these miscellaneous disciples at all. She was a middle-aged beauty with a lingering charm, from her slender figure to her relatively good-looking face, it could be seen that when she was young, there must have been many young masters pursuing her.

  Her expression was too serious, making the people next to her feel even more pressure. But Xiao Pangzi wasn't afraid at all and kept on talking nonstop.

  Worldly affairs are like tides, people are like water, I can only sigh that few cultivate their true nature.

  This serious-looking nun's name is Wu Er. She was originally from a large and wealthy secular family, with many suitors lined up for her hand in marriage.

  She happened to have exactly two spiritual roots, so she was chosen by the Tianyuan Sword Sect.

  Entering the Immortal Gate is the dream of countless ordinary people, and also the dream of Wu Er. At that time, she was still young and joined the Tianyuan Sword Sect under the eager expectation of her relatives.

  Time waits for no one, even cultivators. If their cultivation hasn't reached a certain height, they can't stay youthful for long. Those who should have married and had children in the mortal world, enjoying family bliss, are now middle-aged.

  A person in his 40s, his cultivation is barely at the seventh level of Qi Refining. His progress has been slow and his personality has become increasingly cold and detached. Now he can only place all his hopes on his nephew.

  Look at Spitfire Star's chubby nephew flying straight, then look at the name of Yuantian on the bulletin board, she really wants to give this useless little fatty two slaps.

  Wu Nian was also a miscellaneous servant when he first entered the mountain gate, and he was very familiar with Huang Lao Shi. He had been close to Huang Lao Shi for a while, but unfortunately, Old Huang suffered a serious injury later on and his cultivation didn't make any progress, so the two of them gradually drifted apart. As for Yuan Tian who was taken in by Old Huang, Wu Nian also knew something about her.

  Only two spiritual roots were cultivated in the miscellaneous service for almost three years, and Lao Huang had already died. Unexpectedly, this unremarkable thin man suddenly rose to prominence.

  "Shut up!" She glared fiercely at her chubby nephew, greatly disappointed in this little fatty.

  Yuan Tian didn't know Huang Lao Shi's former lover's current mood, but the Pei Yuan Dan had already been fully absorbed into his body. He stood up and stretched his legs.

  Still unable to break through to the sixth layer of Qi Refining, it seems that having two spiritual roots is indeed quite mediocre. Fortunately, I've already reached the later stages of the fifth layer of Qi Refining, and breaking through to the sixth layer shouldn't be far off.

  Although there were still nine Peiyuan Dan in the Qinghua porcelain bottle, he couldn't continue taking them for now. His body needed some time to absorb the medicinal properties further.

  Pick up the jade slip on the table and repeatedly examine it, but can't figure out what it is. Why doesn't this jade slip write a brief introduction to let people know what kind of spell it is?

  It's learned! Anyway, having many skills won't hurt you, and this jade slip was obtained for free. Thinking of sending it here, Yuantian picked up the jade slip and stuck it to his own forehead.

  Soft milky white light, slowly entered into Yuantian's sea of consciousness. After more than a dozen breaths, the light gradually faded and disappeared, and the jade slip turned into powder and dispersed in the air.

  "Water Control" is a water-attribute spell that contains many contents, including Ice Gun Technique, Water Curtain Spell, Ice Wall Spell, Water Dragon Spell, and also includes the Ice Thread Spell that Yuan Tian had learned before.

  When I studied Lingyu Jue, Bing Si Jue and other jade slips before, the light flashed by in an instant, and the information entered my mind sea instantly. This time it took more than a dozen breaths to finish, which shows how vast the amount of information contained is.

  "If only it could be sold for money, this should be worth a lot of spirit stones." Greedy Yuan Tian knew that the jade slip contained so many things and felt a little heartache.

  It's worth learning anyway, since I'll have to spend money on it sooner or later. After consoling myself like this, I felt a little better and not so heartbroken.

  These laws are not urgent to practice, and the power of a moment or two is not as good as the spiritual symbol in hand.

  The white jade table on this second floor is really beautiful, there's nothing else on the tabletop, but Yuan Tian still can't stop touching it.

  It would be great if I could take this good material back to my own house. Even if I couldn't take the whole thing away, breaking off a piece to bring with me would be worth some money. This skinny miser's slender hands gently felt around the white jade table, searching for a movable part that he could take with him.

  "Huh?" Sure enough, Gen Tian found something in the gap behind the table.

  It wasn't that a piece of white jade table was really broken off, but rather that I found a needle. A very fine needle, slightly longer than an embroidery needle.

  This thing is quite hard, I pinched it with my hand a few times and couldn't move this thin needle. Holding it with my index finger and thumb, I poked it into the ground. It easily pierced the bluestone floor without any sparks or even a sound.

  What a sharp and sinister needle! The body of the needle doesn't have any metallic luster, it's an unremarkable black color. If this thing were used to launch a sneak attack on someone, the effect should be pretty good. This little black needle can be considered as Yuan Tian's first weapon, although it's a bit small.

  He carefully felt every part of the white jade table, and indeed couldn't find anything else. Only then did Yuan Tian head towards the stairs leading to the third floor. First, he still prepared in the safety zone, counting the remaining flame talismans in his hand, which weren't many either.

  A horse cloak covered with golden symbols of the Vajra, could still activate quite a few Vajras, but it was unknown how powerful the third layer's mechanism would be, and how many layers of defense it could break through at once.

  He pulled his coat straight, adjusted his collar, put on his gloves and hood. Whether he passed the level or not, his image had to be maintained at all times. Supporting layer upon layer of defensive shields, Yuan Tian carefully entered the third level of the challenge zone.

  "Wow! Yuan Shixiong has broken through to the third layer!" Many of the miscellaneous disciples were now very familiar with Yuan Tian, automatically putting him in the same category as their seniors, even though Yuan Tian didn't know them at all.

  Looking at Xuan Yuan's tense expression, Qian Kai shrugged and spread his hands, smiling nonchalantly. A carefree expression, just like she had conveyed.

  It's really no need to worry, Yuan Tian had just entered the third level of the trial area when a white light flashed by, and then he didn't know anything.
