Although Lin Fan is a hidden danger, he is not on the same floor as him now. Of course, Liang Yan cannot return to the first floor to kill this person, so he can only put this matter aside for now.
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned his left hand, and a treasure box appeared in his palm.
This treasure box is made entirely of jade, with patterns of auspicious clouds on the surface, and is surrounded by glowing light, overflowing with aura. You can tell at a glance that there is a treasure hidden inside.
"The rewards for trial disciples of Tianji Pavilion will definitely not disappoint me..."
Liang Yan thought for a while, put the treasure box in his hand on the ground, and took more than ten steps back.
He raised his hand and played a magic spell, and a ray of green light shot out and sank into the inside of the treasure box. There was only a "click" sound, and the treasure box slowly opened.
There was nothing unusual, only the colorful spiritual energy spread out. Obviously there was no mechanism inside this treasure box, and it was indeed a reward for the disciples of the Tianji Pavilion trial.
Liang Yan felt relieved, stepped forward slowly, raised his hand and took out the contents of the treasure box.
All I saw was a pair of silver rings, with a bright glow and compelling aura.
With the ring in hand, a piece of text also appeared in Liang Yan's consciousness:
"For those who want to become immortals, opportunity, aptitude, and character are all indispensable. Now that you have cracked the 'Gun City', you can get the reward: 'Spirit Ring'. The formula for sacrifice is as follows...
"
Next is a sacrificial formula, and at the end of this formula, it is written: "To cultivate immortality and seek Taoism, you must also do your best. Now crush the core disciple token, you can leave the Thousand Magic Tower in advance. If you choose to challenge
If you go to the next level, you may lose the rewards you received, or even get seriously injured, so be careful, be careful!"
Liang Yan read this passage from beginning to end and knew that this was the advice Tianji Pavilion had given to the trial disciples.
Unfortunately, I don't have the core disciple's token, and I came here to find the "Reincarnation Fruit", so it is destined to be a journey with no retreat.
However, the magic weapon "Spirit Ring" still made Liang Yan's eyes light up.
According to the description in the text, the "spiritual restraint ring" can block the opponent's spiritual power and magical powers!
Although this magic weapon has great limitations, such as it is not very useful for monks who practice physical training, sword training, martial arts, and beast control, it is a very good thing for those monks who are good at making secrets and chanting incantations.
The magic weapon of restraint.
Among the top ten geniuses, there are many monks who are good at magic, such as Yu Linglong from Yuzhu Mountain, Hu Chenyu from Tianmo Mountain, Xuan Hui, a casual cultivator, and Lin Fan who is chasing after him.
The next time you meet these monks, as long as you use the "Spiritual Binding Ring", you can block most of the opponent's magical powers, which will undoubtedly give you the upper hand.
But Liang Yan is also a very sober person.
He could vaguely guess that there should be more than one key in the "Gun City". Otherwise, would only one disciple be able to pass the first level of the Tianji Pavilion trial every time?
If other geniuses find other keys, they can also get rewards from Tianji Pavilion, and the treasures they get may not be worse than themselves!
"It seems we have to hurry up. The sooner we get to the top, the easier it will be to seize the opportunity!"
Liang Yan thought of this, and immediately sat cross-legged on the spot, and began to silently practice the magic weapon "Spiritual Binding Ring" according to the formula in his spiritual consciousness...
Two hours passed, and Liang Yan slowly opened his eyes.
After these two hours of sacrifice, he was able to initially control the "Spiritual Imprisonment Ring".
Now that he is in the Thousand Machines Demonic Tower, it is impossible to have time to completely refine him. As long as he can activate the "Spiritual Binding Ring" to defend against the enemy, he is already done.
The next step is to find the "man who refines treasures" in the prompt.
Liang Yan stood up and pondered for a moment. He did not act immediately, but patted the Taixu gourd on his waist.
"Lao Jin, Xiao Song, can you come out?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Lao Jin's voice sighing in his consciousness, and said slowly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Liang, you may have to rely on yourself for this trial trip..."
I tried it just now. The restrictions in the Thousand Machine Demonic Tower are too strong. As long as the cultivation level reaches the realm of transformation, no matter whether it is a human or a demon, it will be subjected to powerful suppression. With my current strength, I simply cannot withstand this kind of force.
strength."
After Lao Jin finished speaking, Li Xiaosong also shouted: "Yes! This place is so disgusting. It actually suppresses my power and makes me unable to use my magical powers. If it weren't like this...
...Hmph! That Lin Fan just now was slapped to death by my aunt!"
After hearing the second demon's answer, Liang Yan couldn't help but sigh.
Tianji Pavilion is indeed a powerful sect in ancient times. There are strict rules in this trial tower. No monks above the Tribulation Realm are allowed to enter, even if Lao Jin and Li Xiaosong are monsters.
Fortunately, Taixu Gourd has its own realm and is not bound by the laws of this space. Otherwise, even if Li Xiaosong and Lao Jin were hiding inside, they would still be on pins and needles.
"Okay, if that's the case, then you two can stay in there peacefully."
Liang Yan knew that the two demons could not help him, so he did not force it. He calculated silently in his hands and walked towards the due north along the chains between the wooden stakes...
The top of the cloud, as the name suggests, is above the clouds.
The surroundings were surrounded by clouds and mist, and apart from wooden piles and iron locks, there were only a few mountain peaks that occasionally emerged from the clouds.
Here, there are almost no references and no clues.
Liang Yan was not good at calculations, but his cultivation level was not low. He vaguely felt that the north seemed to be a good place, so without any other clues, he headed towards the true north.
I walked like this for about two hours, during which time I passed through thousands of identical iron locks and wooden stakes.
Liang Yan suddenly stopped and looked around with some confusion.
"Something's wrong!"
He frowned slightly, and in the next moment, he pointed his finger into a sword, emitted sword energy, and cut off a corner of the wooden stake under his feet.
Next, Liang Yan didn't stop at all, and continued to take long strides, stepping on the iron locks and wooden stakes on the clouds, and still headed due north.
Another stick of incense passed.
When Liang Yan stopped again, the wooden stake that he had cut off a corner with his sword energy reappeared in front of him.
"It seems I'm back again..."
At this moment, Liang Yan was extremely sure that he was just going in circles after walking for so long. It wouldn't be long before he would return to the starting point.
"The top of the cloud...could it be a huge maze?"
Liang Yan looked around, not quite sure yet.
After pondering for a moment, he changed the direction again, this time to the south. He also started from the wooden pile with a corner cut off by the sword energy, and every time he passed a wooden pile, he would leave a mark with the sword energy.
After burning the incense, Liang Yan returned to the starting point again.
This time, he no longer had any doubts. The entire top of the cloud was a huge maze. No matter how he walked, he would eventually return to the starting point.
"It's strange...when exactly did you get infected?"
Liang Yan's face looked a little gloomy.
He had been very careful on the road just now, but he didn't expect to come back here in the end. Looking at the marks left along the way, Liang Yan suddenly felt a little confused, as if everything around him became unreal.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came out from the Taixu Gourd:
"It's useless for you to go like this!"
After hearing this, Liang Yan's heart moved, and he hurriedly took out a black jar from the Taixu Gourd, held it on the palm of his right hand, and asked: "Hongwu, do you recognize this maze, or have you discovered some flaw?"
"Hehe, this little old man doesn't understand the formation."
Hongwu's voice slowly came out from the jar: "It's just that our 'Spiritual Tribe' has some talents and a keen perception of magic weapons and artifacts. Although these wooden piles under your feet look exactly the same, there are several among them.
The roots are different.”
"oh?"
Liang Yan couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this.
The elders of Tianji Pavilion set up the "Cloud Summit" formation to test the disciples' cultivation in the formation.
But now, it seems that I can use another more direct method to get out of this formation.
"Hongwu, please point out to me which wooden piles are different."
"good!"
Hongwu's voice came from the soul-raising altar: "From your current location, walk three blocks to the southeast and then one block to the left. There is the nearest one."
After listening to Hongwu's instructions, Liang Yan immediately set off without any hesitation and came to the wooden pile.
"Next...go north ten blocks and then east two blocks."
"Go south fifteen blocks."
"Go west three squares, then go south seven squares."
"To the southeast, fifteen squares."
............
Hongwu's instructions continued to reach Liang Yan's ears, and Liang Yan did not hesitate at all and decisively followed the route he gave.
Gradually, Liang Yan discovered that the marked wooden stakes no longer appeared near him, and the surrounding scenery also changed somewhat.
"As expected!"
Liang Yan's face showed a hint of joy. Although this method was a bit opportunistic, it was the most efficient way to get out of the maze.
Fortunately, I had Hongwu's help, otherwise I might have wasted too much time on this level.
"Fifteen squares to the northwest, then turn around and walk seven squares to the right."
Hongwu's voice came again. Liang Yan walked fifteen blocks in the northwest direction, and suddenly found a green mountain peak appearing behind him.
"It's almost time to go into battle!"
Liang Yan had some premonitions in his heart and became energetic. Following Hongwu's instructions, he turned around and walked another seven squares.
As the last step was taken, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed!
I saw towering mountains in front of me, with many mountains and mountains, like a huge valley, but the bottom of the valley was submerged by the sea of clouds, and only a little of the top of the mountain was exposed.
Surrounded by mountains on all sides, there is only one gap, and that is where you are.
And this location is like the entrance to the valley!
"It seems this is the right place."
Liang Yan thought secretly in his heart, put the "Soul-nurturing Altar" into the Taixu Gourd, and took big steps towards the interior of the valley.
On the majestic Yunfeng Peak, there are green grass, green forests like the sea, and the surrounding cliffs are shining. Hundreds of chains are crisscrossed, like bridges connecting the various peaks, seemingly extending in all directions.
In the middle of the mountains, there are seven or forty-nine wooden stakes standing, which are also mostly covered by the clouds and fog, with only a section above the clouds exposed.
On a wooden stake in the middle stood an emerald green pavilion, in which sat a Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi.
This man looks to be about thirty years old, handsome and unrestrained. He is sitting cross-legged in the pavilion, his eyes are slightly closed, and he is holding a long fishing rod in his hand.
The fishing rod extended out of the pavilion and reached outside the wooden pile. The fishing line was almost transparent and hung from the fishing rod until it was under the clouds.
On a wooden pile in front of the Confucian scholar in blue, there is a huge cauldron. There are green smoke birds on the top of the furnace, and the precious light is overflowing. One look at it and you know that the things inside the cauldron are absolutely extraordinary!
"The person who refines treasures!"
Liang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Although the Confucian scholar in green clothes in the pavilion is vivid, Liang Yan has the "Eight Parts of Evolution" with him, and it can be seen at a glance that he is not a living person, and is most likely a similar existence to the "Golden Light Buddha" on the first floor.
According to the clues in the prompt, this Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi is most likely the "treasure refiner" he is looking for!
Although he found his target, Liang Yan did not act rashly.
Because here and now, there is another genius!
Not far from the tripod, there was an ordinary wooden stake, with a monk in yellow sitting cross-legged on it. He was none other than Fang Ruhui, one of the top ten geniuses.
On the wooden piles near Fang Ruhui, there were many broken remains of mechanisms. It was obvious that there had been a battle here.
According to Liang Yan's preliminary speculation, these wreckage should be machine puppets released by the Confucian scholars in Qingyi, and they are also one of the tests of this level.
As a person who broke through the barrier, Fang Ruhui should have had a battle with these machine puppets. The final result was obvious at a glance. Not only did the great monk destroy all the machine puppets, but he himself was still unscathed.
At this time, Fang Ruhui had his eyes slightly closed and his hands clasped together. He looked like an old monk in meditation, not interested in anything around him.
Even Liang Yan's arrival did not alarm this person.
On the contrary, the scholar in Tsing Yi who was fishing in the pavilion slowly opened his eyes.
"Tsk, tsk, what day is it today? In just half a stick of incense, two trialists arrived at my place in succession." The Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi said, looking Liang Yan up and down, with a half-smiling expression on his face.
.
Facing the Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi, Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and became a little wary.
Although he knew that the other party was not a living person and was most likely a machine puppet, he still felt that he could not see through the other party.
The existence in front of me is somewhat similar to the Golden Light Buddha, but it seems very different.
“Are you the gatekeeper of ‘Cloud Top’?”
"Yes, there are three peak masters on the top of the clouds, and I am one of them." The scholar in blue nodded, his expression very indifferent.
"How can we pass this level?" Liang Yan went straight to the point.
The Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi did not answer immediately, but glanced at him and sighed softly: "I know you are not a disciple of Tianji Pavilion, and it is very rare to pass the first floor, but listen to my advice and don't go down any further.
.”
After hearing the words of the Confucian scholar in Qingyi, Liang Yan's eyes flashed.
As a guard puppet, this person could actually tell at a glance that he was not a disciple of Tianji Pavilion. Compared with the previous Golden Light Buddha, he seemed to have a lot more spirituality.
The most crucial thing is the second half of his sentence.
"Why do you advise me not to go down any further?" Liang Yan asked calmly.
