Chapter 129 Yicheng Trial 10 Pianxian's explanation was too simplistic. ...
"翩跹" makes it too simple.
The complete rules for the tower above the third floor are as follows: once you reach the fourth floor, you can continue upwards, but to turn back or leave the tower, you must fulfill the following conditions:
1. Select a beam of light.
2. Trigger the light beam and gain its approval.
Third, once a beam of light is triggered, you will enter a special space. You will either be severely injured and thrown out by the beam of light, or you will gain the approval of the beam of light. There is no third way.
Some barriers that you can't leave without learning something, and with a thrill of escape, sound perfect for college entrance exams, postgraduate entrance exams, and civil service exams.
Even towers have their own tempers.
Maintaining these pillars of light requires a considerable amount of resources, and each time a disciple attempts to trigger one, the resources are multiplied. Therefore, the training ground master, Master Wan, set a simple rule: one must carefully choose the pillar of light one wishes to trigger. Once a pillar of light is triggered, one must learn the knowledge contained within it to gain the pillar's approval before continuing to attempt.
Initially, it was only to warn the disciples to be cautious, so the study could be interrupted, and the disciples were not prevented from leaving.
However, over time, the tower, which had been influenced by spiritual energy and the consciousness of powerful beings, gradually developed a vague self-awareness, distorting the rules into the current rule that one cannot leave without learning it, a rule that even Director Wan could not break.
Therefore, the disciples acted more cautiously than before. In the past, if all else failed, they could kneel down and beg for mercy from Director Wan, but now they didn't even have that one chance to beg for mercy.
Therefore, no one dares to casually go above the third level. They consider that their cultivation and abilities are about right, and they only dare to slowly explore one level at a time to avoid being trapped here and unable to leave, getting injured, or even dying in serious cases.
Above the sixth floor, it wasn't just one or two people who died.
Her graceful body trembled uncontrollably.
She was just a minor cultivation vessel with no real skills, and had not yet achieved Foundation Establishment. Her cultivation level had been hovering around the mid-to-high stage of Qi Refining. The reason she was able to enter the training ground was simply because Gong Shiyu liked her and insisted that she come along.
What right does she have to be on the sixth floor?! Is she insane?
While Pianqian transformed into a tiny electric motor, Xie Jiaoyue had already circled the sixth floor and returned to her original spot.
There are about ten pillars of light on this floor, two of which belong to the sword path. She has her eye on the one that doesn't have such a strong killing aura and plans to try it out later.
But since she brought Pianxian up, it wasn't good to leave her there trembling. Otherwise, Pianxian would have died from trembling before she even came out of the pillar of light.
Xie Jiaoyue encouraged Pianxian: "Why don't you try finding a pillar of light? You are a pill cultivator, so the probability of you encountering danger is relatively low, and the probability of you getting injured is definitely not as high as mine."
"We can't keep shivering here forever. Do you not want to leave here for the rest of your life?"
Pianxian raised her head, her gaze towards Xie Jiaoyue completely unfocused: "No, I definitely have no chance of gaining the approval of the pillar of light. You don't know, the powerful consciousnesses inside the pillar of light have terrible tempers. Even if they can be gentle at first, if I can't meet their needs, they will beat me half to death and throw me out."
"Are you so sure you don't have the ability? Aren't you even going to give it a try?"
Pianxian's voice rose slightly: "What do you know! No, you should know. Why, why are you able to cultivate normally even though you are also a cultivation vessel? While I can only cultivate while leaking spiritual energy."
As she spoke, Pianxian began to sob and cry.
Xie Jiaoyue really didn't know that.
She did study many classic texts about furnaces and cauldrons, but her focus was very clear: she concentrated on the special physical qualities that a furnace or cauldron might possess, as well as the corresponding effects and cultivation methods. She didn't really pay much attention to the shortcomings of furnace or cauldron cultivation.
She tried to soothe and comfort Pianxian while listening to her soothe her, and only then did she understand from Pianxian's broken words why she said such a thing.
The reason why a furnace is a furnace, and why it can absorb spiritual energy and then feed back to others, is because there are several points on its meridians that "leak" energy, so that spiritual energy can flow into the bodies of others through its body.
The meridians of the furnace are like a balloon with many holes, leaking air as it is being inflated. Naturally, the cultivation speed is far behind, and the progress of cultivation is much worse than that of normal cultivators. As a result, the furnace has a low status in the cultivation world and is reduced to an abandoned child of aristocratic families and a plaything of others.
Xie Jiaoyue examined the meridians in her body. At the acupoints that Pianxian had mentioned, she discovered that her meridians not only did not leak energy, but were also exceptionally good at absorbing spiritual energy, with a slightly higher absorption efficiency than other acupoints.
Could this be a special effect brought about by her Yin Body? It seems that not only can she not have her spiritual energy stolen by others, but she can even steal the spiritual energy of others.
If Chu Xingjin ever really has a change of heart and insists on using her as a dual cultivation partner, she can even directly use Chu Xingjin in reverse.
It sounds like he's become a proper villain.
Xie Jiaoyue shuddered; it was still too disgusting. She didn't want to have such an inappropriate relationship with Chu Xingjin.
Xie Jiaoyue looked at Pianxian, who was still crying, and touched the acupoint on the inside of Pianxian's arm that was leaking spiritual energy, and began to think.
Since it's due to an air leak, wouldn't plugging it solve the problem?
"You're a pill refiner, so do you know acupuncture?"
Hearing this untimely question, Pianxian momentarily forgot to cry and nodded blankly, "Yes, I can. I also carry silver needles with me."
Xie Jiaoyue held out her hand: "Give me one."
Pianxian took a thick black ribbon from her waist, and after unfolding the ribbon, silver needles appeared before the two of them.
Xie Jiaoyue took out a silver needle with her right hand, and used a fire spell on her left index finger. A thumb-sized, dark blue flame appeared on her index finger. She heated the silver needle over the fire for a while, and then inserted it directly into the acupoint on her graceful arm.
Pianxian cried out in surprise as she was pricked: "Ouch, ouch, ouch!"
After the initial pain subsided, Pianxian realized something.
"It seems that there is no longer any spiritual energy emanating from this acupoint."
It actually works!
Xie Jiaoyue rubbed her hands together, acting as if she were the chief surgeon of the People's Hospital: "Come on, tell me the location of your other leaky acupoints, and I'll plug them all up for you right now!"
Pianxian hesitated for a moment before saying, "Given the speed at which my spiritual energy leaks out, I think there are problems with at least twenty of my acupoints, but over the years, I have only noticed ten of them. I don't know about the remaining ten."
"That means the remaining ten leaks weren't fast enough, which is why you didn't notice. Come on, let's plug the remaining nine first, then you find a pillar of light too. After you leave the tower, you'll become Gongshiyu's master!"
The tear tracks on Pianxian's face had dried; she was moved.
