After practicing the ruthless way, the little sister is too strong

Lin Xingfan and Xia Ling walked up to the three people who came out of the secret realm and began to flatter them.

"Brothers, this is all thanks to you, you are awesome!"

"Yes, yes. Before I go back, I must buy a photo stone to watch and appreciate the wonderful performances of my brothers over and over again!"

"You guys also contributed to our first place in this match." Yue Chenzhi glanced to the side, but did not see Qi Huai. "Where did Qi Huai go?"

Xia Ling pointed the way back to the inn: "Third Senior Brother has returned to the inn, shall we go back together later?"

Yue Chenzhi nodded: "Well, wait a moment, I will go and report to the Master and the elders."

"Okay!" Xia Ling and Lin Xingfan responded in unison.

Seeing that Si Mufeng and Jiang Ci were still standing there, Lin Xingfan was puzzled: "Second Brother and Fourth Brother, aren't you going?"

Simu Feng glanced at the two of them and said, "Senior Brother will explain the whole process one by one, so there is no need for us to explain it again."

Jiang Ci didn't say anything, but he also agreed.

Xia Ling couldn't help but sigh: It's really not easy to be the eldest senior brother.

After a while, Yue Chenzhi came back.

There was an extra black iron token in his hand with a star map engraved on it, and he didn't know what it was used for.

Yue Chenzhi said softly, "Go back to the inn."

"Okay." Several people responded.

After Xia Ling came out of the secret realm, he found that there were countless invisible spiritual consciousnesses looking at him. Now he just wanted to leave this noisy place.

After arriving at the inn with my fellow brothers, I thought they would rest for a day.

As a result, after meeting up with Qi Huai, Yue Chenzhi took them directly to a sea area far away from Jinling City.

*

after one day.

Looking at the vast sea in front of him, Xia Ling was stunned, "Big Brother, why are we here?"

"Test." Yue Chenzhi pressed the black iron token in his hand next to a silver spirit pillar.

The next second, the surrounding scene changed instantly.

The sea water rushed up violently, eventually forming a barrier that separated this area from the outside world.

Countless colorful spiritual light balls gradually gathered together, reflecting the sky into a dreamy color.

Xia Ling could feel the spiritual energy around him suddenly becoming denser, but before he could appreciate the beauty in front of him, he saw a staircase leading straight to the sky suddenly appear out of thin air in front of him.

In front of the stairs, there are nine mysterious spiral doors, and no one knows where they lead to.

There are countless round-moon-shaped spiritual power balls hanging in the air around.

They can be seen everywhere, but they have no color, only a white that makes people feel empty inside.

Seeing them, Xia Ling finally confirmed his guess, "Big Brother, is this a spirit-testing platform?"

Yue Chenzhi responded calmly: "Well, go and try it."

Isn't it said that the most accurate results will be obtained when the monk is around 20 years old after the test, otherwise the results will be unstable if the monk is still young?

Xia Ling nodded doubtfully, "Okay."

The Spirit Testing Platform is a special space that has existed for thousands of years and can be called a divine artifact.

It can not only test the elements of a cultivator's spiritual root quality, but also infer the upper limit of a cultivator's cultivation and his future prospects through the levels that can be reached.

After entering a specific 'gate' and completing the trial, you can go to the stairs.

The stairs lead straight to the sky, and no one knows where the end is.

The resistance you encounter increases with each step you climb. It is said that the negative emotions in your heart will grow rapidly with the height of the step you reach, as if you were forcibly awakened. In severe cases, you may develop inner demons.

In addition, thunder will fall every ten steps you climb, and the number and intensity also increase with the height.

It can be said to be a tempering of the unity of body, mind and soul.

So far, it is said that 165 steps is the upper limit and no one can break through it.

This place is particularly special. Only the masters and elders of the five major sects, or their direct disciples can enter with the token. There is no other way to break in by force.

In other words, Yue Chenzhi brought them here because it was the intention of the master and the elders.

As far as the original owner could remember, she had never been here, nor had she heard of it. If Xia Ling hadn't read relevant books, she might not know anything about it now.

According to the information read in the book, Xia Ling raised his hand and placed his palm on the spiritual power ball floating in the air in front of him, and then transferred the spiritual power.

Under the gazes of several people, Xia Ling couldn't help but become nervous.

But half a quarter of an hour later, the color of the spirit ball was still blank, with no reaction at all.

Xia Ling: "..."

What the hell, doesn’t she have a Chaos Spirit Root?

How come the element attributes cannot be measured?

Xia Ling asked for help from his fellow brothers: "Brothers, my method is correct, right?"

"...Yes." Yue Chenzhi was silent for a moment, glanced at the others, and gestured: "You all try it too."

"Okay." Lin Xingfan was the first to do so. Within two seconds, the transparent spirit ball was covered by blood-red flames.

Two breaths later, a line of words appeared in the center of the star: Top-grade fire spiritual roots, please enter the Gate of Flame. Once you pass the level, you can step onto the Stairway to God for testing.

When the words appeared in a door in front of the stairs, a small flickering flame suddenly appeared in the center.

At the same time, different phenomena occurred at the other two doors.

Jiang Ci has a top-grade mutated wind spiritual root, while Yue Chenzhi has a top-grade ice spiritual root. Different elements mean different 'gates' to enter.

(Note: Ice Spiritual Root cultivators can also make pills, but it is difficult because they need to rely on external spiritual fire.)

Simu Feng and Qi Huai, like Xia Ling, waited for a while but there was no response.

Lin Xingfan scratched his head: "No, what's going on?"

It can’t be that the spirit ball is broken.

Jiang Ci crossed his arms over his chest and lazily suggested, "Why don't you try again."

The three of them did so.

Fortunately, it is still somewhat useful.

This time, the spiritual power ball that Qi Huai tested finally reacted, showing the four-attribute mixed spiritual roots.

Among them, white (ice) and water (wind) occupy most of the spiritual power ball.

Green (wood) and red (earth) are particularly rare.

Maybe it was because of his innate spiritual body, half of the spiritual power spheres he tested were still white.

The white mark left by Yue Chenzhi and the other two was only one or two centimeters wide, which indirectly reflected the innate aptitude of the cultivators...

As for the door that opened for him, it was the colorless and nameless 'door' in the corner.

Qi Huai lowered his eyes, showing little presence throughout the whole process, and did not speak at this moment.

The other people present also knew what this spiritual power ball meant, but none of them showed any abnormality.

Xia Ling was the first to speak and break the silent silence, "Senior brothers, you go in first. Second Senior Brother and I will stay here and try a few more times! See you on the stairs!"

"See you later." Jiang Ci turned and left.

Yue Chenzhi didn't say much and replied, "Okay."

Lin Xingfan made a cheering gesture to Xia Ling and then walked in the opposite direction.

As for Qi Huai, he had just taken two steps when Xia Ling called out to him, "Third Senior Brother."

Qi Huai turned and looked at her, his expression and voice had never changed. He was still as emotionless as usual, like a pool of stagnant water.

He didn't say anything, but his eyes made it clear

——'What are you calling me for?'

Xia Ling smiled and imitated Lin Xingfan, making a cheering gesture towards him with his fist, and said in a serious manner: "Let's work hard together, don't slack off! Let's try to return to the sect as soon as possible. I have something very important to ask you for help! Only you, Third Brother, can help! Please."

Her smile was just as bright as that day, a little too dazzling.

Is this because she is a genius?

It's like a...a short, fat head with a small sun-like halo on its head.

Kind of funny.

A picture inexplicably emerged in Qi Huai's mind, and he couldn't help but smile. The teardrop mole on his eyelid was made more vivid and charming by this smile.

The gloom surrounding him seemed to be cleared away in an instant, and that smiling face seemed extremely stunning at this moment.

Xia Ling and Si Mufeng were both stunned for a moment.

I didn't expect that Qi Huai, who is always taciturn and doesn't show his dislike, has such a humane side.

Simu Feng suddenly said: "...Your smile is quite pretty, smile more in the future."

This was not what Xia Ling said, but it expressed Xia Ling's thoughts.

When Qi Huai saw Si Mufeng staring at him and saying such a disgusting word, the already faint smile on his face disappeared instantly.

A look of disdain flashed across his face, and he said in a cold tone: "Just once is enough to say disgusting things."

As he spoke, he turned and entered the 'door' and disappeared in an instant.

After he left, Xia Ling retracted his gaze, patted the spirit ball in his hand, and said gloatingly: "Second Brother, you are hated."

"If you hate me, then hate me." Simu Feng didn't care and said calmly, "Being angry is also a kind of emotional fluctuation. Just express it normally."

"..." Xia Ling understood what he meant almost instantly.

Although they had not been together for a long time, she knew that Third Brother seldom showed his emotions.

Except when it is necessary to talk to them, I will remain silent and be willing to be a transparent invisible person.

It was as if he wanted to cut off all communication with the outside world and trapped himself in an invisible barrier that only he could see.

But if you keep everything in your heart and bear it all by yourself, sooner or later, problems will arise...
