After the Wood Realm was closed, Li Yun summoned everyone from the Liuyun Sect to one place. Even Qin Tiexin, there are now six people left. Except for Li Yun, two of the other five outer disciples received spiritual wood rewards in the Wood Realm. The other three either did not enter the Wood Realm or failed to pass after entering. Among the Golden Realm rewards, none except Qin Tiexin.
Li Yun glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone has seen the situation in the first two domains. The gold domain tests the gold system Law Technique, the wood domain tests Wood Element Law Technique, and the following three domains should be the same. So..."
She paused and continued, "There are no brothers who correspond to Spirit Root, so I suggest you not to force your way in. I have tried it, but the spiritual energy consumed by the attribute rejection is too great, and there is not even Law Power left to take the assessment. It is better to stay in the square to adjust your breath and prepare, or go to the outer forest to collect some spiritual herbs - although it is dangerous there, it is worse than entering the domain and wasting it in vain."
The three outer disciples who had not received the reward looked at each other and nodded to express their understanding. One of them asked, "Senior Sister Li, if we want to enter the area behind..."
"Act within your ability." Li Yun said in a gentle but firm tone, "I will not enter the realm of fire or earth. It's up to you to make your own judgment. But if you find that you can't hold on after entering, exit in time and don't hold on."
The three of them agreed. After Li Yun finished speaking, she looked at Qin Tiexin, and the other five people also looked at this fellow disciple who only had the fifth level of Qi Refining and the lowest strength but had received two awards in succession. He was indeed the disciple chosen by Luo Ling True Person.
Qin Tiexin thought for a while and said, "Senior Sister Li is very accurate. Let me add something extra. There are three types of rewards in the domain."
Everyone cheered up.
"First of all, you can get basic rewards by passing the assessment, such as golden spirit and spirit wood." Qin Tiexin took it out and circulated it to everyone, "It's not very precious, and its value is about 10 Spirit Stone. If you can reach the top three, there will be additional rewards. The golden domain is a middle-grade sword embryo, and the wooden domain is tree heart sap, but I don't have them here."
"After passing the assessment, a guardian will appear, with a cultivation level of at least the ninth level of Qi refining. If you defeat him, you will get the middle-grade Law Artifact reward." Qin Tiexin recalled, "Whether it is the Golden Needle from the Golden Realm or the Green Wood Bow from the Wood Realm, they are all very good middle-grade Law Artifact." Qin Tiexin is a weapon refiner, so he still has this vision.
"In addition, there is also the hidden fortuitous opportunity. Jinyu is the sword heart flower that understands the meaning of the sword, and Muyu is unknown." He paused, "Currently, the basic reward threshold is the lowest, as long as you pass the assessment. The middle-grade Law Artifact requires strength. The hidden fortuitous opportunity... depends on luck."
Li Yun nodded. "Junior brother Qin is right. So the next area, the water area, is my home field. I would like to ask for your help."
She looked at everyone and said seriously, "I have the highest water Spirit Root and the least impact, so I will try my best to pass the water test as quickly as possible, and then concentrate on dealing with the guardians. If you help me get the middle grade Law Artifact, I will be very grateful after returning to the clan. As for the hidden fortuitous opportunity, I won't argue with whoever finds it."
The two disciples with water Spirit Root looked at each other, and one of them said, "Senior Sister Li is too polite. Senior Brother Xu said that it is necessary for fellow disciples to help each other."
"Okay, Li Yun would like to thank all the fellow juniors here. It's still early, so you can master your own water-type Law Technique first." After speaking, Li Yun smiled, then turned to look at Qin Tiexin: "Junior Brother Qin, do you want me to teach you some water-type Law Technique?"
Qin Tiexin shook his head. "No, I know water archery." After saying that, a water arrow the size of a finger was formed on his fingertips.
Li Yun was stunned. "But..."
"I have a way." Qin Tiexin said briefly. He did not go into details, but Li Yun saw his determination, so she stopped insisting.
In fact, Qin Tiexin discovered one thing - the assessments in the first two domains seemed to test the proficiency of Law Technique, but in fact there were loopholes to exploit. In the gold domain, he used the weapon refining technique, and in the wood domain, he used grafting soil. All the methods passed. This shows that although the rules set "use the corresponding Law Technique", the evaluation criterion is actually "achieving the effect". As long as a little bit of the corresponding Law Technique is used, the completion method is not limited.
It's just that he didn't say anything about this discovery. Firstly, it was a trick, and secondly, he wasn't sure whether he could continue to use it later. It would be bad if it affected others.
Everyone discussed some more details and then dispersed to adjust their breath.
One night passed.
On the third day, the blue portal in the center of the square lit up.
An aqua-blue ancient font appeared above the door frame. "Water area: tides refine the heart. Stand in the tide and hold on to a stick of incense. Those who are not water Spirit Root will consume three times the spiritual energy when entering the water."
There were fewer people choosing to enter this time - about fifty people. Water Spirit Root is rarer than gold Spirit Root, and most monks do not specialize in water attack Law Technique, but are more used to assist or heal injuries.
Li Yun was the first to step in. Two disciples from the Liuyun Sect followed - they all had water Spirit Root, and although they were not strong, they wanted to try it.
Qin Tiexin Get up.
Liu Qing also came from the corner. The two looked at each other and stepped into the blue door at the same time.
The scene in front of me changed again.
It is a vast lake with clear water and a faint blue light. The surface of the lake is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the gray-blue sky. The air is filled with water vapor, which makes your lungs moist and cool when you breathe it in.
There are dozens of stone platforms in the center of the lake. Each stone platform is about three feet in diameter and half a foot above the water. The surface of the stone platform is smooth, and water stains can be vaguely seen - apparently it is often washed by the lake water.
Everyone fell on the stone platform.
Qin Tiexin As soon as he stood firm, he felt something strange - bursts of suction came from the stone platform under his feet, as if there was an invisible force pulling on the spiritual power in his body. This was the water attribute repulsion.
Li Yun stood on a stone platform not far away, with light blue water glowing around her. She looked calm and even smiled at Qin Tiexin - for a water attribute like her Spirit Root, this place was like a fish in water.
Liu Qing's face was a little solemn. He stood on the stone platform, his hands Hand Seals, and a thin film of water appeared around his body, barely resisting the flow of spiritual power.
An old voice sounded, "Tide the tide to refine your heart, stick to a stick of incense. You can use Law Technique for assistance, but you are not allowed to leave the stone platform."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surface of the lake began to fluctuate.
It was just a slight ripple at first, but soon the ripples turned into waves, and the waves gathered into tides. A wall of water about half a person's height surged from the center of the lake and pushed towards the surrounding stone platforms.
The tide is not fast, but it carries a heavy sense of pressure. Before the wall of water arrives, the cold and wet air waves are already hitting us.
Qin Tiexin took a deep breath and raised his right hand - he had previously learned the most basic water type Law Technique "Water Arrow". Although it was not very powerful, it at least proved that he knew the water type Law Technique. The blue light flashed slightly on his fingertips, and an inch-long water arrow condensed and formed, hanging in the palm of his hand. The pulling force under his feet was instantly reduced a lot.
Then he lowered his waist and sat on the horse, with his feet nailed to the stone platform like roots. At this moment, the pile work of "Cunbu" was fully unfolded, the center of gravity sank, the back was straight, and the whole person looked like a stubborn stone.
The tide has arrived.
"Boom--"
The wall of water hit the stone platform, causing splashes all over the sky. Qin Tiexin felt as if he had been hit by a wild bull. He was shaken all over, and the stone platform under his feet shook slightly. The cold and biting lake water soaked through his clothes in an instant, causing him to sway and not move. His feet were firmly clasped on the stone platform, and his waist and abdomen were strong, and he withstood the first wave of impact.
The tide receded, leaving him soaked to the skin and a pool of lake water that quickly drained away on the stone platform.
But soon, the second wave came.
This time it was higher, about chest level, and the impact was stronger. Qin Tiexin gritted his teeth, and his skin turned red under the wash of the cold lake water. It was Qi and Blood that was running rapidly to resist the cold. But he still stood firm and did not move at all.
The third wave, the fourth wave...
The tides became stronger with each wave, and the intervals became shorter and shorter. By the seventh wave, the water wall was already higher than the head, like a real wall crashing down. Qin Tiexin's bones all over his body were making subtle creaking sounds, but his eyes were calm and his breathing was steady.
He could feel that the body at the seventh level of Tempered Body was slowly becoming tougher under this extreme pressure.
There were screams and the sound of falling water in the distance.
Some people could no longer hold on. Either their spiritual power was exhausted, or their lower body was washed away by the tide, and they fell from the stone platform. The person who fell into the water was immediately shrouded in blue light and teleported away.
Li Yun was still calm. She didn't even deliberately resist, but undulated slightly with the rhythm of the tide, like a piece of duckweed, drifting with the current but never sinking. The advantages of water Spirit Root were fully demonstrated.
Liu Qing's situation is a bit strange.
He stood on the stone platform. Every time the tide hit, he looked shaky and staggered. He was almost washed down several times, but he always managed to hold on at the last moment. He used the "Water Shield Technique" - a water type Law Technique that focuses on defense and force relief.
Qin Tiexin glanced at him a few times.
After a moment of burning incense, the tide subsided and the lake returned to calm.
There were only twenty-three people left standing on the stone platform.
Qin Tiexin was soaked all over, her hair stuck to her forehead, her clothes stuck to her skin, but her back was straight. Li Yun's clothes were also wet, but her expression was relaxed. Liu Qing was breathing heavily and her face was pale, but she managed to stand still.
The old voice announced the result.
The top three who persevere the most will each get a "Xuanbinghua" - this is an important auxiliary medicine for refining Foundation Establishment pill and is valuable. Qin Tiexin, Li Yun, and Liu Qing each get one.
All twenty-three people who passed the level will each receive a water accumulation pearl, which is worth about ten Spirit Stone and is suitable for the cultivation of water Spirit Root monks.
After the rewards were distributed, the lake surface fluctuated again.
This time it was not a tide, but a huge, translucent aqua-blue creature rising from the center of the lake. It had no fixed form, like a constantly changing mist, and faintly flowing runes could be seen inside.
Water spirit fantasy beast, ninth level of Qi refining.
Without waiting for the old voice to announce, Li Yun rushed out with both feet and rushed towards the phantom beast with an ice sword in hand.
When the phantom beast saw the person coming in front of it, its special ability quickly appeared - its body twisted and split into two illusions. The illusion gradually solidified, and together with its body, it turned into three "Li Yun", with the same appearance, clothes, and even breath.
The three "Li Yun" raised their hands at the same time, and three water arrows shot at the real Li Yun.
Li Yun's face changed slightly, and she retreated quickly. At the same time, she used her hands Hand Seals to lay down a water curtain in front of her. The water arrow hit the water curtain, causing ripples in circles.
The two outer disciples of Liuyun Sect immediately stepped forward to help. One of them used the "Water Binding Technique" to try to restrain the phantom beast; the other used the "Water Bullet Technique" to attack from a distance.
But the phantom beast was too strong. When its body shook, the ropes of the Water Binding Technique were shaken away. When the water bullet hit its body, it only made a few splashes.
Qin Tiexin moved.
He did not go to help Li Yun, but turned to face the other monks in the field.
Because at the same time that the phantom beast appeared, there were already several figures quietly moving forward - they were all masters from small and medium-sized sects and Rogue Cultivator, obviously trying to take advantage of the chaos to snatch the kill reward.
Qin Tiexin took a step across, blocking the front row of people.
Those people stopped. The leader was a strong man at the eighth level of Qi Refining. He stared at Qin Tiexin and said coldly, "Get out of the way."
Qin Tiexin didn't say anything, but just held the Edgeless Saber handle behind his back.
The strong man's eyes were sharp and he was about to take action when Liu Qing's voice suddenly came from beside him. "Fellow Daoist Qin, count me in."
Liu Qing walked to Qin Tiexin and stood side by side with him. His face was still a little pale, but his eyes were firm.
The strong man looked at Qin Tiexin, then at Liu Qing, then at Li Yun and two Liuyun Sect disciples who were fighting hard in the distance, as well as other monks who were watching eagerly from further away.
The scene was at a stalemate for a while.
At this time, a clear shout came from Li Yun's side.
She raised her hands high, and a thick water column rose from the lake. The water column twisted and condensed in the air, turning into a lifelike water dragon. The water dragon raised its head and let out a silent roar, then swooped down and rushed towards the body of the phantom beast.
High-level Law Technique, "Water Dragon Break"!
The phantom beast wanted to dodge, but was entangled by two Liuyun Sect disciples' spells and was unable to move for a while.
"Boom--!"
There was no need to distinguish the real body. The water dragon collided with three phantom beasts, causing water to explode all over the sky. The phantom beast's body fluctuated violently, and the runes flowing inside began to become disordered and disintegrate. After a few breaths, it suddenly disintegrated and turned into countless blue light spots.
A gauze as thin as cicada wings and glowing with a light blue halo was left in place.
There is also a fruit suspended in mid-air, with its whole body as crystal clear as dewdrops.
Li Yun stepped forward, put away the gauze and fruits, then turned around and looked towards Qin Tiexin.
When the monks who wanted to snatch it saw this, they knew that their chance had been lost and they backed away angrily.
Qin Tiexin Release the tool handle.
Liu Qing also breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The old voice announced, "The water area assessment is over."
Everyone left one after another.
Back in the square, Li Yun walked up to Qin Tiexin and handed him a small jade bottle. "Healing elixir, you just resisted the tide, and your internal organs may have been shocked."
Qin Tiexin took it. "Thank you, senior sister."
Li Yun took out a few more bottles of elixirs and distributed them to the two outer disciples who were helping and Liu Qing: "This is the best Qi-restoring elixir. It's a little bit of my appreciation."
Everyone thanked him and accepted it.
Liu Qing took the elixir, looked at Li Yun, then at Qin Tiexin, hesitated to speak, and finally just nodded, turned and walked back to the corner.
Qin Tiexin looked at his leaving back with slightly deep eyes.
In the distance, on the side of Jinyang Sect, the woman in red is still sitting quietly with her eyes closed.
Qin Tiexin looked away and sat down cross-legged.
Tomorrow, the land of fire.
