The system is the proficiency panel

dong dong!

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Lin Ji left the window and opened the door. It was Tian Dong outside the door, with spiritual food floating behind him.

"Daozi, these spiritual foods are the specialty of the restaurant. They are not available in the sect. Please try them."

Lin Ji came to the table and sat down. Tian Dong controlled the spiritual food to fall on the table, and then wanted to take his leave. Lin Ji spoke at this time.

"Tian Dong, come and sit down. During the time you have been here, have you heard any news about the Sword Tower?"

Tian Dong obeyed and sat opposite Lin Ji and spoke.

"No, Xiao Tianyou has not made any movement since he released the news last time. However, we found some strange fish scales with a fishy smell. It may be that some sea monsters have come to the city. However, apart from these fish scales, we didn't find anything else, so we left it at that."

"Well, you go down."

Tian Dong took his leave and left. Lin Ji thought, are there any monsters in the sea? This place is close to the sea, and there may be some humanoid monsters here. Do they also want to inherit Xiao Tianyou's inheritance? Lin Ji simply gave up thinking about it and started practicing after eating the spiritual food.

After arriving at the first floor, Tian Dong quickly found the locations of other disciples of Xuantian Sect and sat down next to them. There were four people including Tian Dong. After Tian Dong sat down, someone asked him.

"Are you satisfied with the spiritual food here, Daozi?"

"I see Daozi is eating very happily. Don't worry, he will definitely not be scolded by Manager Luo."

Tian Dong was eating and answering questions at the same time. At this time, an ordinary-looking girl said something dissatisfied.

"Tian Dong, why don't you let me go to receive Daozi? I will definitely take better care of him than you."

"Zhu Jinglan, if you want to die, don't take the three of us with you. Before we left, Director Luo told us that he didn't want anyone to disturb Daozi. Don't you understand what he meant?"

Hearing Luo Youran's name, Zhu Jinglan quieted down and stopped talking. The other three looked at her and thought, even if they didn't stop you from receiving Daozi, it's impossible for Daozi to like you with your looks. You should have some self-awareness.

The voices of the people were not quiet, and the guests at the neighboring tables could still hear them. At one of the tables, there were three people in black robes. When they heard Daozi, they paused for a moment, then continued eating as if nothing had happened. After eating, the three of them quickly went upstairs.

"Lan Guang, Lan Jie, did you hear that? They were talking about Daozi."

"It's Daozi. Should we cancel this operation? Daozi must have people protecting him. It's not something the three of us can handle."

Lan Guang's voice sounded a little panicked, as if he was very afraid of Daozi's name. At this time, Lan Jie next to him spoke.

"Lan Ye, don't be nervous. We have already handed the things over to Xiao Tianyou. The mission has been completed. Now we just want to see what the result will be. As long as we don't expose ourselves, we will be fine."

"Okay, then let's stay in the room for a few more days and don't go out. It will pass if we endure it. As for Xiao Tianyou, we won't care about him."

Finally, the three of them decided to stay in the room and wait for Xiao Tianyou to finish his business, and then go out to see the situation.

At this time, on the top floor of the sword tower, a smile appeared on Xiao Tianyou's old face. He held a transparent crystal in his hand and muttered to himself.

“I hope someone suitable for me will come.”

……

A few days passed quickly, and Lin Ji didn't find anything wrong during these days. Everything was normal and calm, and the fish scales that Tian Dong mentioned never appeared again.

This morning was as peaceful as usual. Lin Ji was practicing in his room when suddenly a loud voice came from the air.

"To all the monks who wish to inherit my life's learning, the sword tower is now open, and monks in the Qi training stage can come in on their own."

"The rules of the test are simple. The first person to reach the top of the tower will be my successor. Not only that, there will be rewards on each floor above the fourth floor. They are my past collections. Let the test begin now."

The sound in the air disappeared, and the monks who were originally chatting, practicing, etc. put down what they were doing and hurried towards the sword tower. In an instant, the streets in the city became empty.

Lin Ji naturally didn't want to fall behind others, so he flew out directly. Yi Chun saw him leaving and followed him. Lin Ji used his mental power to tell Tian Dong that he was leaving first and asked them to enter the sword tower quickly.

Lin Ji quickly passed some monks with lower cultivation and landed at the gate of the sword tower and entered. Yi Chun was waiting for him outside. There was a huge spirit-testing stone in the center of the first floor and a stone tablet next to it with the words "Talent Test". Monks with medium-grade and above talents could go upstairs, which made many monks curse.

"If you have set the talent, why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me rush here!"

"Yeah, this Xiao Tianyou is really dishonest."

There were also a few monks who refused to believe and wanted to rush upstairs, but they were directly knocked away by the sword light that suddenly appeared in the air. Seeing this, some monks mocked them.

"You guys don't know what's good for you. Why are you here with low-grade talents to join in the fun?"

At this time, Tian Dong and four others also entered the sword tower. They first glanced at the information on the stone tablet, and then quickly found Lin Ji based on the breath, Tian Dong said in a low voice.

"Daozi, I'm sorry, two of us have low-level talents and cannot go up."

"It's okay. If you don't pass, just go outside and meet up with Yichun."

The last two people left were Tian Dong and Zhu Jinglan. Zhu Jinglan looked very obedient. What Tian Dong said last time was very effective. It seemed that more than half of the people were eliminated in this stage. However, Lin Ji did not want to get involved in these troublesome things, so he took the two of them directly to go upstairs after testing the spirit stones.

The stone tablet on the second floor had written information about the test age and cultivation level. The minimum age was 18 and the ninth level of Qi training. The cultivation level requirement could be lowered by two levels for every year younger. There was a magic mirror in the center, and someone was already standing in front of the mirror and had begun testing bone age.

This was not difficult for Lin Ji and the other two, but judging from these tests, Xiao Tianyou seemed to be really selecting his successor seriously, and this stage eliminated many people.

There are two passages on the third floor. The stone tablet says that this level is very simple and is designed to separate sect disciples and independent practitioners.

Lin Ji and the others naturally walked towards the sect disciples' passage. Some sect disciples behind them began to hesitate whether to take the independent cultivator passage. After all, Xiao Tianyou was born as an independent cultivator and might favor independent cultivators more. Anyway, Xiao Tianyou would not be able to detect it once they changed their clothes.

The fourth floor is divided into 10 rooms. Since the sword tower occupies a large area, the area is not small even if it is divided in this way. The stone tablet at the intersection says that each person enters a room to fight, and the opponent is a puppet of the same level. The winner will get a reward and enter the next floor.

Lin Ji looked around and saw that the number of people who came to this floor had dropped sharply to more than 20 people, most of whom were disciples of the sect. This made Lin Ji frown. The number of people on the third floor was definitely more than this. Many independent cultivators disappeared, which made Lin Ji alert. Not only did he discover it, some cultivators had discovered the abnormality and had retreated and were ready to leave, but found that the passage behind was blocked.
