Chapter 182
Some people had already been sent out of the square of the Demon Subduing Tower. There were three dynasty cultivators and Shao Hongxia from the Emerald Wave Island.
Everyone’s expressions were ugly. They were certain that they were not fated to cross paths with this inheritance.
At this moment, a stream of light suddenly rushed out from the Demon Subduing Tower. The light dissipated and a figure landed. Zhang Jiao sat down expressionlessly.
Under the combined attack of the three barbarians of the golden tiger bloodline, she was finished on the tenth floor.
In Tidal Sound City, she was the little princess. Everyone flattered her.
This time, she was also full of confidence and wanted to obtain Venerable Ning’s item alchemy inheritance.
As for spiritual treasures, she did not dare think about them. Even if she obtained the spiritual treasures, she would not be able to protect them. Instead, it would be a disaster.
After all, if one was not from a sect, a mere rogue cultivator would not be able to withstand it.
Therefore, the item alchemy inheritance was her goal.
To his surprise, she met her end on the tenth floor of the 24-story tower.
Intense indignation surged up, followed by a sense of helplessness. She had done her best. She even took elixirs to recover her spiritual essence.
She was famous for her fire magic in Crescent Moon Bay, but she could not do anything to the three barbarians. The bloodline of the golden tigers that had even inherited spells was not something she could block at all. Zhang Jiao could not keep up with their speed alone. Her proud heart sank as she looked at the empty square.
Indeed, there was a huge difference between rogue cultivators and sect cultivators. The disciples of the Three Great Immortal Sects were all in the tower, and the disciples of the immortal sects who had come from the land had not come out either.
Just as she was thinking this, two streams of light flew out of the tower almost at the same time.
When the light fell, it was Wu Qi from the Mystic Evil Clan and Xiao Changming from the Mystic Sound Pavilion.
The two of them had ugly expressions and sat down to recover their spiritual essence without saying a word.
As time passed, even Hua Anxiang, Lu Chang’an, and the others came out.
A total of eighteen cultivators had been eliminated.
Currently, only Chen Jingzhai, Jiang Lin, Chu Jinsong, Zhang Ye, Miao Ke, Xu Qing, Ma Yuliang, and Yin Cailing were in the tower. Fan Mingge had just come out of the tower and landed on the ground.
“Junior Brother Lu, can you tell me which level you’ve reached?” Hua Anxiang asked.
“Thirteenth floor!” Lu Chang’an replied impassively.
“Indeed so.” Hua Anxiang shook his head with a bitter smile. “Looks like they were all tricked by the silver fox.”
“The Grade 2 silver fox!” Xiao Changming shook his head with a bitter smile.
There was no silver fox in the Eastern Ocean. Such demonic beasts would only appear in forests or huge mountains. Many cultivators in the Eastern Ocean did not even know about the existence of the silver fox.
As a disciple of the sect and a prodigy of the Mystic Sound Pavilion, Xiao Changming should have recognized it at once. However, the illusion created by the silver fox directly revealed his weakness. It made it impossible for him to deal with it directly. Only then was he killed by the silver fox and directly eliminated from the Demon Subduing Tower.
“I met the Evil Knife Mantis on the fifteenth floor,” Fan Mingge from the Will Celestial Clan said with a straight face. “It’s invincible and extremely fast. It can even resist spells.”
“The Evil Knife Mantis is even rarer than the silver fox,” Hua Anxiang said. “It’s afraid of fire, but it has to be a Grade 3 spiritual fire. In addition, it’s afraid of divine mind attacks.”
“A divine mind attack!” Fan Mingge exclaimed. He had not thought of that.
However, even if he thought of it, he still could not win. He was only at the Foundation Establishment Plane. Without the corresponding spiritual item, he could not use it to defeat the silver fox at all.
“It seems that the remaining few have entered the sixteenth level,” Lu Changan said calmly. “Even the Evil Knife Mantis was destroyed. That Little Jupiter sure hid his abilities well.”
“It’s likely that he borrowed the power of a spiritual item!” Hua Anxiang seemed to be implying something. “I wonder who will obtain the item alchemy inheritance. This 16th level might involve the inheritance of a Grade 2 item alchemist.”
When everyone heard this, their expressions turned ugly. This was especially true for the cultivators of the Mystic Evil Clan. It could be said that they had been completely wiped out.
Even if they obtained the inheritance of a Grade 1 item alchemist on the fourth floor, what was the point?
It was just some refining techniques for magic items. The Mystic Evil Clan did not lack them!
Not only the Mystic Evil Clan, but even the dynasty cultivators were not lacking such inheritances.
Everyone had different thoughts, but they sat still. The test had yet to come to an end, and the spirit of the cave residence did not let them leave, so they had to wait quietly.
On the sixteenth floor.
The beast cauldron looked a little hideous. The flames quickly changed color.
Chen Jingzhai sat in front of the beast cauldron and cast a spell step by step. With the help of his powerful divine mind, Chen Jingzhai controlled the flames with ease. Under the burning of the flames, the material gradually melted and then slowly mixed according to the ratio.
Grade 2 item alchemy Restrictions were used together with spell techniques.
A giant ax slowly took shape. Under the burning flames, it began to turn cold.
“It’s done!”
Chen Jingzhai used the item finishing technique and took out the giant ax spiritual item.
A medium Grade 2 giant ax perfectly displayed the potential of the material. Not only that, but the Restrictions of the Grade 2 spiritual item fused perfectly into one. It could be said that this was the best spiritual weapon Chen Jingzhai had crafted since he started item alchemy.
“Spirit of the cave residence, it’s time to give me an answer!” Chen Jingzhai said.
“There are eight people in the tower, including you,” the spirit of the cave residence said calmly. “One is trapped in the illusion of the thirteenth floor, one is fighting on the fifteenth floor, and the rest are on the sixteenth floor. You are the first person to refine a spiritual item. Go and receive the prize!”
There were so many people, and their progress was not much different from his!
Chen Jingzhai took a deep breath. It seemed that he had to speed up. It was obvious that he had wasted time with the barbarians. Without speaking, he walked up to the Restriction.
There was still only one prize, and this was the complete Grade 2 item alchemist inheritance. It was extremely compatible with the complete Grade 1 item alchemist inheritance he had obtained. Perhaps it was because he had refined a spirit weapon in advance and it was a medium Grade 2 spirit weapon.
Behind the jade slip, there was also the Restriction of a Grade 2 item cauldron. It was nice to complete the core of the item cauldron refinement method recorded at the back of the Item Cauldron Forging Technique.
The prize was not bad. Chen Jingzhai was secretly satisfied and entered the Restriction.
The seventeenth floor.
“Is someone finally here?” An old voice entered Chen Jingzhai’s ears.
Chen Jingzhai stopped in his tracks and locked his divine mind on the old man sitting in the middle.
He spoke grimly. “A cultivator?”
“That’s right!” The other party looked up and grinned. “Are you surprised?”
With his bark-like wrinkled skin, pale hair, and hunched body, he looked like an old man clinging to life. Even a slightly stronger wind could blow him away.
“A non-Golden Core Sage’s lifespan is not that long,” Chen Jingzhai said calmly.
“What if I say,” the other party said, “that I was originally a Golden Core Sage, but my Golden Core was dug out by a bandit and I survived by relying on a secret technique? My lifespan is still very long.”
“That’s a pity,” Chen Jingzhai said.
“Pity what?” the other asked.
“Unfortunately, you won’t live long. That long life will be wasted.” Chen Jingzhai took out his Mourning Staff. “You seem to want to earn my sympathy, but unfortunately, you failed.”
“You don’t believe me, do you?” The other stood up. “And now?”
Chen Jingzhai’s pupils constricted. There were two large holes in the other party’s chest and lower abdomen, the kind that could be seen through directly. It looked extremely terrifying and strange.
“Do you believe me now?” the other party asked, grinning.
“So?” Chen Jingzhai asked.
“Shouldn’t you have developed compassion?” the other said. “At least show me some sympathy.”
“I’ve never sympathized with demons.” Chen Jingzhai shook his head and took out his Mourning Staff. The howling quickly spread. In midair, invisible ripples quickly rippled and rushed towards the other party.
[Caw caw!]
The other party let out a strange laugh. Its body suddenly exploded, and a black shadow passed by. It appeared behind Chen Jingzhai, but Chen Jingzhai dodged its fierce attack and was sent flying by the Mourning Staff.
“How did you find out?”
The other party revealed his true form: a human-faced ghost eagle, a demonic beast catalyzed by absorbing resentment.
