Jian Ning went to challenge the levels in the Immortal Abode again. Through her continuous efforts, she has now mastered three sword techniques. Full of confidence, she went to the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion.

This time, she killed the shadowy bats with incredible speed—one, two, four, eight, sixteen, multiplying exponentially as she relentlessly swung her sword to kill them.

Until the thousands of sword shadows were unleashed, even the dark air seemed to stagnate for a moment, and with a sudden boom, everything before our eyes was suddenly bright.

The black mist inside the room dissipated, and an aged voice rang out: "Fifth Liuli, congratulations on passing the first test and obtaining two Golden Elixir Fruits and one piece of Azure Spirit Golden Sand."

As she spoke, two jade boxes appeared out of thin air in front of Jian Ning.

She opened it and recognized the Golden Elixir Fruit. It could stimulate the formation of a golden elixir, refresh the mind, and help cultivators overcome bottlenecks. It was a rare and precious item.

I'm not sure what the Azure Spirit Gold Sand is used for, but it's definitely something valuable.

Since it could be used as a reward for completing the challenge, it must be something extraordinary. He happily put it into his storage bracelet.

I looked up and saw the stairs, then strode up.

As soon as she opened the door to the second checkpoint, she smelled the fishy smell of the sea and saw a vast ocean. The clouds in the sky were very low, and the only foothold was a large rock where she was standing.

Jian Ning looked back and saw that the stone door she had entered through was completely closed, and there was no trace of it at all.

Needless to say, the only options to get out are to complete the game or fail and be thrown out; there is no third option.

There were still no hints for this level. Jian Ning first summoned Ruoshui, wanting to fly to the other side on her sword to take a look. Unexpectedly, Ruoshui couldn't fly at all, and that's when she realized that there was an anti-flying formation here.

Moreover, the storage bracelet was also unusable. Fortunately, there was a kayak in the space. Jian Ning put on a life jacket and then sat on it.

You can't see what's in the water, and if the boat capsizes, it'll be hard to get out of the water. I tried the water-avoidance spell earlier, but it didn't work at all. It seems that all spells outside of oneself are forbidden here.

After paddling forward five or six meters, a group of slender, silvery fish suddenly leaped out of the water.

Its body is nearly transparent, with sharp spikes at the tip of its mouth. Because it leaps out at such incredible speed, it looks like a streak of silver lightning.

Jian Ning reacted extremely quickly with the Ruoshui Sword, unleashing a flurry of sword strikes. The clanging sounds were incessant.

Almost every sword strike pierced a silver fish that was flying at high speed.

But to everyone's surprise, the fish's bodies were incredibly tough. The Ruoshui Sword cut sparks from their bodies, yet not a single silver fish died.

It only paused briefly before charging forward, almost reaching Jian Ning.

She didn't panic at all and immediately threw out a Firebird spell.

It's no wonder that fish are afraid of seabirds, even firebirds. Under the attack of the Firebird Spell, some of these silver fish were turned into roasted fish, while others fell back into the sea.

Before Jian Ning could even catch her breath, another large group of silverfish rushed up from the sea. This batch was significantly larger, and their bodies were almost transparent.

What to do? There are less than ten Firebird Spell talismans left. Even if Jian Ning knows how to draw talismans herself, the spirit beast blood and talisman paper have costs. Every bit used is one less available, and she has nowhere to restock right now.

I bit my lip. The worst that could happen is I can't get through, but I'll just have to do it. Being so hesitant and fearful, relying on talismans to get through is probably out of the question.

This silverfish refuses to believe it has no weaknesses. If you can't cut its body, then poke its eyes. It refuses to believe that this spot can be hardened.

She cast a spiritual energy shield around herself, then stood on the kayak, aiming her sword specifically at the silver fish's eyes. And you know what? It actually worked! It just really tested her eyesight and swordsmanship.

He withstood five or six waves of relentless attacks from the silver fish. Finally, he exhausted the last bit of spiritual energy in his body, his vision went black, and he fainted.

When I woke up again, I was in the lobby on the first floor, still in the kayak.

"Fifth Glass, you failed the second level. You have two years to complete the next level. Go back and keep trying."

As soon as the words were spoken, the kayak, along with Jian Ning, was thrown out by the Linglong Pavilion.

Watching the gate slowly close, Jian Ning felt no disappointment. Since it was a checkpoint, there was bound to be a chance to overcome it.

She refused to believe she couldn't do it. It was just a cultivation challenge, and she was willing to give it her all for the rewards inside.

Stand up from the ground and store the kayak in the storage compartment.

Then she went to the library, this time to find out what kind of species the silver fish were and how to kill them quickly. Not only was killing them difficult, but it also consumed too much spiritual energy.

After searching through the fish in the sea for a long time, I couldn't find any species like it. Finally, I found a mythical beast encyclopedia.

Page five is an introduction to this fish; it turns out it's called the Phantom Silverfish.

It is a strange beast from the sea, not an ordinary fish. Except for its eyes and a soft piece of flesh on its chest and abdomen, the rest of its body is extremely hard, comparable to the hardness of black gold stone, making it very difficult to kill.

Of course, it is also a treasure trove. It can be used to refine weapons, and the sharp spikes on its mouth can be refined and used as hidden weapons to break through protective spiritual energy.

Moreover, the guidebook describes this fish as nearly extinct, a rare species.

These phantom silverfish are extremely ferocious and always live in schools. They are practically apex predators in the sea, and their methods of preying on other fish are incredibly ruthless.

These fish can squeeze into any tiny gap inside their bodies.

It begins by tearing at the internal organs of the large fish from the inside out. It is virtually invincible.

However, it's not impossible to tame them. These fish love a large, yellow fruit that emits a foul odor.

As long as they have this to eat, they will obey any command. It's just a pity that this fruit is so rare and hard to come by. Alas! I have a brilliant plan, but I can't put it into practice. It's truly heartbreaking!

It's clear that the person who wrote this encyclopedia felt it was a great pity that they couldn't catch these Phantom Silverfish.

Yellow fruit that emits a foul odor?

Jian Ning scratched her head, thinking it sounded like she was talking about durian. She had plenty of durian in her space, not only bought them herself, but also planted many on the black soil.

The original owner really liked eating this fruit, but unfortunately it was a bit expensive. When she was in school, she could only buy a small box of sliced ​​fruit to try once a month or so, and she couldn't bear to spend the money on it otherwise.

So when Jian Ning came over, she bought quite a few of these when storing supplies.
