"Brother Qi, come and clean the magic tower again!" When the young boss saw Chu Qi, he immediately stood up and said with a smile.
"Yeah." Chu Qi responded.
"There are not many people who are as persistent as Brother Qi now, and more and more people come here to break into the magic tower. I watched videos on the Internet, and there are magic spirit competitions being held in many places outside. Many people who came here before listened.
They all went to the Southern Cross Federation, and my business is getting worse and worse." The young boss sighed.
"Why go so far away if you don't come to the free trial gate here?" Li Xiu asked.
The young boss shook his head and said: "There are demons over there, but there are no demons here. Who wants to stick here."
"Why are there no demons?" Li Xiu was a little confused.
"I heard that only those who reach the top of the magic tower can enter the trial place mentioned by the trialists. However, this magic tower is too high. No one can climb to the top and cannot enter the trial place. Where can the magic come from?
Spirits? Let alone demon spirits. If you can’t even get rewards like skills and talents, who would be willing to stick to it?” The young boss pointed at the gems on the table and said, “Brother is from out of town, so you can pick whatever you want.
For the sake of Brother Qi, I'll give you a 10% discount. The price of these gems has dropped a bit today. The small ones are 45.1 carats. You can pick them up as you like. The blue ones are 161.0 carats.
These are not expensive either…”
The price is indeed cheap, but the quality is indeed average. Li Xiu looked at Chu Qi and asked: "How many gems are needed to open the door?"
"Ten black sapphires over one carat will do." Chu Qi replied.
Li Xiu glanced at the gems on the table, divided them in the middle with his hand, pointed at half of them and said, "I want them all, let's figure out how much they cost."
The young man had never seen such a heroic buyer. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said with a smile on his face: "Today I met the big boss. He is indeed a friend of Brother Seven. Let me do the math for you."
The young boss took out a precision electronic scale, weighed the gems in groups of ten, and put them into small plastic bags.
"The small ones are 106 carats in total, the larger ones are 137 carats, and the blue ones are 54 carats. These larger ones are more expensive..." the young boss weighed the weight.
, while holding the calculator and pressing it quickly.
"The total is seventy-eight thousand and sixty-six yuan. I will give you a discount and add zeros. For such a big customer like you, I will give you a discount plus a discount. You can just give me 70,000 yuan." Young said.
The boss said generously.
Li Xiu took out his mobile phone, scanned the QR code and paid him 70,000 White Night Coins without even paying back the price.
On the one hand, after taking tens of millions from Xiao Er, Li Xiu is not as short of money as before, and on the other hand, these gems are indeed very cheap.
If you spend 70,000 White Night Coins to buy sapphires produced in Hongsha City, you will only be able to buy two small top-quality ones of two to three carats at most. If you buy these gems, you will directly buy several hundred carats.
Fortunately, before he decided to come to Baiye City, Li Xiu exchanged a lot of Baiye coins, so he didn't have to worry about running out of money.
"Why did you buy so many?" Chu Qi asked after watching Li Xiu put away the gems.
"If you come here again in the future, you won't have to buy more." Li Xiu said casually.
This is just one of the reasons. In fact, what Li Xiu is interested in is one of the black sapphire treasures.
Just that one demon gem is worth far more than 70,000 yuan.
Chu Qi didn't say anything else. The two of them came to the gray-blue door of the trial. Li Xiu took out ten black and sapphire gems and embedded them in it.
The door of the trial opened with a bang, and the two people walked in together.
"Welcome to the Demon Tower Trial Ground. The B-level trial is open. The trial rules are as follows..." In an octagonal room, there are no windows around, there is only a staircase leading to the second floor, and a trial figure appears on the light screen.
Refining rules.
The rules are very simple. If you reach the second floor before the sixty-second countdown ends, you have passed the level.
Li Xiu looked at Chu Qi next to him, a little doubtful whether he was really an S-class trialist, because he only had white tights on him and did not see any sign of Qi.
"You go up first. Don't be afraid as long as I'm here. If you can't get up, I will push you up." Chu Qi said.
Li Xiu nodded and walked up the stairs.
As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, Li Xiu immediately felt his body sink, as if a weight had been placed on his whole body.
Fortunately, this level of weight-bearing was nothing to Li Xiu. He walked up to the second floor easily, and Chu Qi followed suit. Looking at his relaxed look, Li Xiu knew that Chu Qi's physical fitness was indeed better than that of Li Xiu.
He is strong.
The second floor is still an octagonal room. The light screen reminds them that they have completed the first round of testing. After giving the strengthening reward, they can exit or continue the second round of testing.
Both Li Xiu and Chu Qi chose to continue. After the countdown ended, Li Xiu walked up the stairs to the third floor.
This time the weight on his body became stronger, but Li Xiu was still able to complete it easily.
As he walked more than a dozen floors, the weight-bearing feeling on each floor increased. By the time he reached the eighteenth floor, Li Xiu already felt that walking was very difficult.
"How many floors does this magic tower have?" Li Xiu looked at the stairs leading to the nineteenth floor and asked with a frown.
This Demonic Tower Trial Ground is really different from the trialists he has been to before. Although he can exit at any time, if he wants to complete the final test, he may have to climb to the top.
With his current physical condition, he seems unable to complete even a B-level test. No wonder the testers here would choose to escape.
"I don't know. I have climbed to the thirty-sixth floor before, but I still haven't reached the top." Chu Qi replied.
When Li Xiu heard that he couldn't even reach the top of the thirty-sixth floor, he knew that he would definitely not be able to reach the top. He could only count the floors according to the number of floors and get some physical strengthening rewards. The final reward was a no-brainer.
Li Xiu gritted his teeth and walked up. His physical condition no longer allowed him to go up any further, but as soon as the blood boiling skill was activated, he immediately felt much more relaxed.
With a double improvement in physical fitness, such a heavy burden is nothing.
Every time he went up the stairs, Li Xiu needed to activate his skills, but Chu Qi on the side never used his skills. This shows how strong his physical fitness is. He said he was S-level, so he shouldn't be lying.
"Chu Qi, has your S level been upgraded here?" Li Xiu asked curiously.
"Yes, I grew up in Baiye City. I have never left Baiye City, and I have only entered this one trial gate." Chu Qi answered truthfully.
"Awesome!" Li Xiu couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Being able to climb the tower repeatedly in such a ghost place, and only relying on these ordinary strengthening rewards to be promoted to S level, he didn't know how many times he had to go. This seventh day of the seventh day is quite brutal.
of.
"That's not right. You haven't been to other training grounds or climbed to the top. Then how did you get the symbiosis contract?" Li Xiu suddenly thought of a question and looked at Chu Qi and asked.
"I killed a trialist before, and we have a symbiosis contract." Chu Qi replied expressionlessly.
Li Xiu had to be convinced that this would allow him to reach S level. This guy didn't know how much time and effort he had put in.
You must know that this guy's symbiotic contract should have been someone else's parasitic contract in the past. The symbiotic contract will die with the owner, but the parasitic contract will not. But generally speaking, the quality of the parasitic contract should not be as good as the symbiotic contract. Relying on a
You can imagine how difficult it is for a low-quality symbiosis contract to be promoted to S level through a trial gate.
The stairs at the back had a lot of added weight on the first floor. When he reached the twenty-third floor, Li Xiu had to activate the dual skills. With the strengthening of the dual skills, he walked up to the twenty-fourth floor.
With the help of three levels of skills, Li Xiu reached the twenty-seventh floor, but his body was already a little overwhelmed.
Although the skills only need to be used when walking up the stairs, the three skills are too heavy a burden on the body. Li Xiu feels that if he continues walking like this, his body will inevitably be damaged, and there is no point in going up any more.
So a little strengthening reward is not worth the damage to the body.
When Li Xiu was about to give up, he suddenly looked at Chuqi and asked: "Chuqi, have you ever tried to go down?"
"No, why go down?" Chu Qi shook his head.
"Look at the rules, it says that you must enter the next level to complete the trial before the countdown ends. If you understand the meaning of the next level normally, naturally it is the place you have not been to before that is considered the next level. But if you take it out and look at it alone
If so, the next level can also be understood as walking down one level, right?" Li Xiu said with a smile.
"It seems...it can be understood this way...but what's the point of this? Even if you can really go down, what's the point of going back?" Chu Qi said uncertainly.
"Let's try again and see if we can go down. If it doesn't work, just go up one level." Li Xiu said.
"Okay." Chu Qi nodded and said nothing more, although he felt that it was meaningless.
The countdown ends and a new round of testing begins. There are still sixty seconds to enter the next level.
Li Xiu and Chu Qi walked towards the stairs leading to the 26th floor and walked down the stairs.
There was no obstruction and they successfully walked up the stairs, indicating that they could go down.
However, there seemed to be no use in going down. The octagonal room on the twenty-sixth floor was still the same as when they came up.
Even the weight-bearing feeling on the stairs from 26 to 27 is exactly the same, there is no difference.
"Let's go back and climb to the twenty-eighth floor. There's nothing different here. If you go down now, return to the twenty-seventh floor, and then climb to the twenty-eighth floor, you may not have enough time." Chu Qi followed.
Said behind Li Xiu.
"Aren't you here? Let's go down the stairs and take a look." Li Xiu glanced at the light screen on the 26th floor. There was also a countdown on it, allowing them to see the time. This made Li Xiu feel that something was wrong.
Chu Qi grabbed Li Xiu and said, "You stand here and don't move. I'll go down."
With that said, Chu Qi walked around Li Xiu and walked down. His speed was much faster than Li Xiu, just a little slower than going down the stairs normally. After a while, he reached the bottom of the stairs and returned to the ground on the twenty-sixth floor.
superior.
The moment he left the stairs on Chu Qi, his timer appeared on the light screen, indicating that he had completed the trial.
Chu Qi was slightly startled, while Li Xiu nodded slightly. He had thought of this possibility just now, but was not very sure. Now Chu Qi has verified his conjecture.
Li Xiu no longer hesitated and walked slowly down the stairs. He walked much slower. With the triple skill, he could only move step by step.
Fortunately, there was plenty of time. When there were only ten seconds left in the countdown, Li Xiu also walked down.
The countdown stopped and his timer also appeared on the light screen.
"The final trial is completed, and rewards are being randomly generated. Each person can choose a reward..." The prompt on the light screen made Chu Qi's eyes widen.
"How could this happen...how did you know?" Chu Qi looked at Li Xiu with a look of disbelief on his face.
"I don't know, I just like to try new things. This was a complete accident." Li Xiu said with a smile.
"There is no limit to the sea of suffering, and there is a shore when you turn around. This Demonic Tower Trial Ground may be to let the trialists understand this truth. It's a pity that I have struggled here for so many years and I haven't been able to figure out such a simple truth." Chu Qi sighed.
He said it in one breath, but his face still had no expression at all, which looked very strange.
"Principles are principles, and work is done. Isn't it true that there is a saying that you will only be able to achieve the goal in vain? This is also a principle to teach you not to give up. The so-called truth will make sense no matter how you say it, so it doesn't matter what the truth is, as long as you insist on being you
Just do what you think is right in your heart. If you have never looked back, aren't you already S-level? If you had turned around and entered the trial land, you might have died in the trial land long ago, or you might have died because of the trial.
If those things in the ground are distracted, they won't be promoted to S level so quickly." Li Xiu said.
Chuqi looked at Li Xiu seriously for a while before nodding and said: "In any case, thank you for letting me discover the real way to clear the level. Otherwise, I would have been S-level and could no longer go further in the trial field. I would have to stop at
That’s it.”
"It seems we are all lucky." Li Xiu saw the shield icon appearing on the light screen, and both of them randomly received tickets.
Both people chose admission tickets, and soon they were sucked into the black vortex.
There is a copper lamp and a stone table, and a black dress is placed on the stone table.
"Clothes!" Li Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up. He had wanted a piece of clothing for a long time, but unfortunately he never knew where to get the clothes.
Every time I enter the training ground, I wear a white tights. It doesn't matter if they are all men. When there are women, the protrusions on some body parts are still a bit uncomfortable.
The clothes on the stone table were neatly folded, like a tofu farm. I couldn't tell what style they were, but they looked a bit complicated, not like ordinary coats, and the material looked like a length of black satin.
Li Xiu reached for the clothes. With his current physical condition, it was very easy to pick up an ordinary contract.
The clothes rose in response, and the erratic voice immediately came from the longevity lamp.
"Insignificant..."
Li Xiu didn't give it a chance to finish his sentence, and directly dripped his own blood on the clothes. Then he saw a big black light on the clothes, as if the clothes unfolded automatically, rolled up to Li Xiu's body in the air, and put it on automatically.
This dress is a bit complicated, with a short skirt on the upper body and a skirt on the lower half. It is pure black and has a satin-like texture. It has a unique charm when worn on the body, and the spirit is somewhat elegant.
"Is this a Confucian skirt?" Li Xiu looked at the black clothes on his body and was slightly surprised.
This is a Confucian skirt in ancient Han culture. It is considered a type of Hanfu. I didn’t expect it to have such a shape.
Although there are skirts, they are men's clothing. In ancient times, it was not just women who wore skirts.
Haoran Shiyi: Parasitic Contract.
Quality: Brilliant.
Level: E level (can evolve).
Original quality: 0.9
Innate skills: Haoran Zhengqi.
"It turned out to be a glorious contract!" Li Xiu was a little surprised. He originally thought that the quality of the contracts produced in this kind of place would not be too high, but he did not expect that it would be of glorious quality. Moreover, E-level ones have innate skills, which is also very rare.
"I'll just get a pair of shoes again sometime." Li Xiu looked at his feet without shoes. Because his feet were also wrapped in a one-piece tights, now that he was wearing clothes, his feet seemed to be wearing white stockings.
It looks very inconsistent.
The longevity lamp led Li Xiu into the darkness. When Li Xiu's eyes lit up and he could see the surrounding scenery clearly, he found that he was still in an octagonal room, and there was still a staircase leading to the upper floor.
It's just that this building is not as bright and clean as the previous magic tower. The building itself is very old and dilapidated, and this building is actually made of black wood. It is a pure wooden building with mortise and tenon structure without even a nail.
Although it looks dilapidated and even a bit eerie, the entire building's carved beams and painted pillars are ingeniously crafted and look exceptionally exquisite.
On each wooden pillar, there is a strange creature carved on it. It is a kind of bird, a black bird, like a phoenix and an eagle, with eyes full of viciousness, as if it wants to choose people to devour.
When Li Xiu was looking at the building, he saw Chu Qi's figure appearing next to him, and another longevity lamp also appeared.
Li Xiu saw that there was no Confucian skirt on Chu Qi's body, and there was a black glove on his left hand. He thought that it should be the parasitic contract he got here.
"The Righteous Gloves, the Brilliant Parasite Contract." Chu Qi saw Li Xiu looking at his gloves and said directly.
"You don't need to tell me." Li Xiu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This Chu Qi is indeed a real person."
"Is this the trial place?" Chu Qi looked around curiously. He was already S-level, but it was his first time to enter the trial place. Such a strange thing is probably rare among trialists.
"Yes, there are a lot of strange things in the trial place. We have to be careful. Maybe something that looks very inconspicuous can kill us." Li Xiu knew that Chu Qi was entering the trial for the first time.
Just a few reminders about the place of refining.
"Just follow me, I will protect your safety." Chu Qi misunderstood what Li Xiu meant.
When he broke into the Demon Tower before, Chu Qi saw that Li Xiu's physical fitness was far inferior to him, so he naturally thought that he should protect Li Xiu, not to mention that this was the old man's order.
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Xiu smiled and did not defend himself.
"How should we go now? Do we want to go up?" Chu Qi looked at the stairs leading to the second floor.
"I want to go up, but..." Li Xiu also wanted to let him use the demon spirit to explore the way first, but in the end, Chu Qi had already rushed up, and in a few steps he had already reached the second floor.
"ah!"
While Li Xiu was shaking his head and sighing, he suddenly heard screams coming from the second floor. His heart suddenly trembled, and he quickly summoned the Black Death Demon King and the Black Death Demon Army and rushed forward.
Surrounded by a group of younger brothers and younger brothers, Li Xiu climbed to the second floor. He originally thought that a fierce battle was about to happen, but the sight he saw couldn't help but freeze him.
