The Magician of Cultivation

"Yes, the intermediate trial."

The Qingmin guide continued, "You should be able to see that although this primary trial is dangerous, the rewards are equally huge."

They both nodded in agreement.

Although the elimination rate in the first two levels is too high and full of dangers, the rewards for passing the third level can indeed be said to be generous.

"The rewards for the intermediate trials are more generous, and unlike the primary trials, failure means death."

The Qingmin Envoy paused for a moment, then continued:

"Intermediate trials allow participants to give up midway, but after giving up, they can only participate in the intermediate trials again after at least three months."

"But once you pass the intermediate trial, the rewards given by the dragon clan will definitely tempt the seventh-level strongmen."

The tone of the Qingmin guide was full of envy, and his voice became louder:

"It is said that the rewards for clearing a level may include dragon blood or dragon crystals."

"What?" The two were shocked.

Dragon blood essence, even if it comes from an ordinary seventh-level dragon, is enough to change the life level of a fighter.

It is a foolish dream to let a great martial artist break through to the seventh level of Martial Emperor in one fell swoop.

But a great martial artist at the peak of his powers can bathe in the dragon's essence and blood, break free from the shackles of his physical body, and reach the everlasting realm of the martial king, almost 100%.

Dragon crystal is the foundation of the dragon, so it is even more precious.

In addition to the dragon's energy during its lifetime, dragon crystal also contains the dragon's memory, heritage, and "dragon magic."

In the long history of the dragon clan, there has never been any news of dragon crystal being circulated.

"What are the requirements for the intermediate trial?" Li Yu asked.

The Qingmin Envoy looked at him approvingly and said with a smile:

"First, this token is required. Second, the age should be between 15 and 35 years old, and the strength should be at least level four."

"Also, without the fifth-order peak strength, it is impossible to pass the level."

"Before the age of 35, at the peak of the fifth level?"

The enthusiasm of the two people suddenly became low.

Xiao Yulan was 17 years old and Li Yu was only 12 years old.

35 years old and at the peak of level five were too far away for them.

"You two little guys," Qingmin Jieyin showed a smile, "Don't you get rewards only if you pass the intermediate trial?"

"Master Jie Guishi, what do you mean?" Li Yu's heart moved.

"Hahaha, every time you pass a level, there will be corresponding rewards in the trial. Skills, fine products, and even epic magic equipment..."

As soon as it said this, the two people's eyes lit up.

"Master, where is the location of the intermediate trial?"

Xiao Yulan raised her own question, "Also, when is the trial time?"

"You can take the trial in Xueyan City of your country. The trial location is the 'Dragon Tower' in the city, and you can take the trial afterwards."

"Dragon Tower"

“It’s actually the Dragon Tower.”

Li Yu and Xiao Yulan were both surprised, as they both knew this place.

There are nine floors in the Dragon Tower. It is said that anyone who passes through the ninth floor will have his name appear on the "Hidden Dragon List", making him known to everyone in the world.

"Oh, you know about the Dragon Tower? Then I don't need to tell you."

"Master Guide, I wonder what the intermediate trial will test specifically?" Li Yu asked with a frown.

"I don't know about that. But I heard from my tribesmen that the nine-story space of the Dragon Tower is actually nine world planes, and each layer is different."

"Space world?"

Li Yu's face turned grim. To be able to create a plane world, one must be at least at the tenth level.

Seeing his serious face, the Qingmin Envoy said with a smile, "What's wrong? Boy..."

"You seem to be very interested in the plane? Haha... Then you must practice well. You are too weak now."

"Hey, hey, hey, there's no need to slap me in the face like that." Li Yu complained in his heart.

But he still had a smile on his face, "I am somewhat interested, but I am still young. It is too ambitious to think about these things."

"Still young...Alas," Xiao Yulan sighed.

Li Yu's words reminded her of his age.

What were you doing when you were like him?

I'm afraid you're always arguing with your parents?

When she thought of her parents, her eyes darkened.

"Master Guide, how long have I been in the Ghost Mist Forest?"

Xiao Yulan looked depressed and felt a little uneasy.

The Qingmin Envoy thought about it carefully and replied:

"You are three years and nine months old, and this kid is two years and six months old..."

Then he remembered the visit of the powerful men from the Holy See and looked at Li Yu, "Oh, by the way, not long after you entered the Ghost Mist Forest, someone from the Holy See came here..."

"It should be Hu Xiner, I hope she's okay."

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief and felt warm in his heart.

Somehow, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Yulan.

The other person's eyes were filled with gossip, which made him shudder.

"Cough, cough"

Li Yu coughed dryly and quickly changed the subject, "Master Jie Gui Shi, I wonder if we can leave this place?"

After all, more than two years have passed, and he is also worried about his parents in Yuexi Village.

Especially the war between Xueyan and Guyue, I don’t know how the war is going now?

Has it affected your family?

The thought of this made him even more eager to return home.

"Hahaha……"

The Qingmin Envoy laughed heartily.

"This matter is settled. You can leave at any time, and I can return to the clan to report."

It restored its huge python body, and a rich wave of water elements poured out from its mouth, quickly spreading to the entire Ghost Mist Forest.

The Ghost Fog Forest began to shake, and the fog that had been lingering in the forest all year round rolled and surged wildly.

From the outside, it looked like a huge creature that looked like a python or a dragon, constantly stirring up the fog.

The fog quickly shrank inwards, and in a moment it was reduced to one tenth of its original size.

More violent fluctuations continued to overflow from the shrinking Ghost Mist Forest.

"After a hundred years, the mission was finally completed."

The Qingmin Jieyin made a rumbling sound and looked into the distance.

"Two little guys, practice well. I hope we can see each other again in the future."

It emitted a ripple-like green light that enveloped the two figures.

Li Yu and Xiao Yulan suppressed their excitement and bowed at the same time, saying, "Thank you, Master Jie Gui Shi..."

The two figures began to fade slowly in the green light.

"Li Yu, I am from the Xiao family in Jiangyang City of Guyue Country. Remember to come and see me."

Xiao Yulan was so anxious that she only had time to say this sentence before she was teleported away.

嗡

"Xiao family in Jiangyang City?"

Li Yu took note of it secretly, and his figure also disappeared.

The Ghost Mist Forest began to shake, and the entire forest rose from the ground.

This place is sparsely populated, otherwise it would definitely cause an uproar.

After a while, the ghost fog forest disappeared.

One day later, the general named Xu was already in charge of the city lord's mansion.

"Report..."

Perhaps because of his military background, even though he held a high position, the City Lord's Mansion was still managed in a militarized manner by him.

Report the disappearance of Ghost Mist Forest to the City Lord's Mansion immediately.

He did not dare to delay and went to the Church of Light in person to inform Deacon Jiang Tao of the matter.

Jiang Tao was not transferred because he had made contributions in handling the affairs of Yuexi Village, so his merits and demerits offset each other.

When he learned about this, he also reported it immediately.

Two days later, the news reached Ji Xiaoxiao in the Holy City.

"Xin'er is at the critical moment of breaking through to the third level. She must not be disturbed at this time."

"Besides, even if he is a country boy, he has done Xin'er a favor, and we have already repaid him. So we can say... we owe him nothing."

Ji Xiaoxiao shook her head and put the matter aside.

Liaocheng did not receive a reply and did not dare to act on its own, so it could only pretend to know nothing.
