Chapter 72 - Giant Stone Monkeys vs Nanxun with Tea Eggs
'What is a Magic Weapon Memorial Service?'
Outside the projection array, everyone looked at everyone from Nanxun.
Qing Xuan coughed lightly.
And the Nanxun disciples who did not enter the battle behind him, except for Xiao Muge, whose expression was hidden by the hat, the rest of the disciples showed grief but moved forward.
All the disciples and elders of the Western Region were stunned by the mourning appearance.
"Is Nanxun seriously ill?"if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
"They won first place in the cultivation event in the north, surpassing Tiansheng Sect. So I never understood why their elites would be dissatisfied and leave. Now I understand... This sect is sick."
Who would be so idle to commemorate their magic weapon?
Other than their natal magic weapon, a cultivator has a long life. Who knows how many magic weapons they have to replace during their lifetime?
"You're hypocritical, Qing Xuan."
The elder of Jiuyao Mountain said this while sitting cross-legged on a hill.
If they looked carefully, both of his legs seemed to be integrated with the mountain. As he spoke, he rubbed the bumps on his body, and a layer of soil bumps fell off his skin.
"He Tong, that's the name of your head, isn't it? What a waste of cultivation time! If my disciple did this, I would bury them!"
Qing Xuan did not answer, but Elder Zhang sighed.
"Old Sha, then you must take good care of your Jiuyao Mountain disciples." Elder Zhang shook his head.
The elder of Jiuyao Mountain was stunned.
'What does it mean?'
'His disciples are not so stupid.'
Just as he was about to refute, he saw the Elder of Jinbamen also looking at him sympathetically.
"?"
"Facts speak louder than words. I won't argue with you. Let's keep watching!"
Elder Gang Sha hummed at the projection array but was stunned after a while.
He saw Su Yu in the projection array heating dozens of pitch-black stone pots to boiling hot.
Then while holding a large soup pot, she poured a bowl of soup stock into the dozens of stone pots. A layer of golden light shines on the surface, but the pots are not boiling.
The hot oil completely locked all the heat under the soup.
Hang Wan'er was cleaning up the ropeways that had lost their silver radiance. She picked them up one by one, washing them with spiritual water, and dividing them into empty white porcelain bowls.
The damaged snowballs were placed in another small dish. Yan Yan cut all of them in half, half for each person.
Su Yu took out some frozen ice fish and ice duck from her storage bag... and cut some fish fillets, duck breasts, chicken pieces, and other ingredients.
She also cut a little of the extra bean curd and tofu skin.
She divided them neatly into categories and placed each of them in small dishes the size of a palm.
There are nine types of side dishes on small plates.
A sigh flashed across Su Yu's face. "Time is tight. That's all for now."
There were twenty trays in total. Each contained a hot stone pot, a plate of rice noodles, and nine plates of side dishes.
Just like the ice fish fillet and ice duck breast, each ingredient was cut so thin that after three or four pieces were stacked together, the color of the white porcelain plate below can also be revealed.
'These are obviously not cooked.'
The people inside and outside the projection array were speechless.
This is like a large-scale sacrifice, using so many three or fourth-rank monsters.
Nanxun is doing something strange.
However, the Jinbamen and Nanxun disciples inside, totaling 20 people, think that it is very interesting.
Hang Wan'er suppressed her curiosity and led everyone to recite it seriously.
"In today's battle, we haven't mastered the ability to move mountains, so we are not as good as a disciple of Jiuyao Mountain."
The disciples of Jiuyao Mountain, who had just finished panting and completed their path construction, were startled.
Even the chief, Xu Tu, blushed and couldn't help slowing down his movement.
He pricked up his ears.
'Nanxun is praising us.'
'Nanxun is really humble.'
But Hang Wan'er didn't look at him and seriously took everyone in Nanxun to repent.
"Our Nanxun's Nascent Soul disciples are not strong enough to take Golden Core disciples over the cliff. We can only rely on the magic weapon of Second Senior Sister."
"Today, this magic weapon of ropeway snowball train was damaged because we are not strong enough."
Jin Haotian and the disciples of Jinbamen lowered their heads.
"We, Jinbamen, are incompetent."
They also blushed.
The footsteps of the disciples of Jiuyao Mountain stopped one after another.
Xu Tu couldn't help but feel awe.
Cultivators who know how to reflect on themselves tend to gain faster.
Nanxun's magic treasure mourning also has come to an end.
"Today's magic weapon is damaged," Hang Wan'er took a deep breath and said sadly, "we will send it the last ride with repentance and eat it."
Jiuyao Mountain: ...
Outside the projection array: ...
Seeing that Hang Wan'er had finished speaking, Yan Yan had already drawn out his flying swords. Every two swords carry a full tray and send them to each disciple smoothly.
Everyone can see clearly. There are nine dishes and one stone pot on the tray.
There are also two plates containing the damaged silver cable magic weapon and magic snowball that lost had lost their luster.
Hang Wan'er looked at Su Yu with awe. "Second Senior Sister, let's start."
Su Yu nodded.
Hang Wan'er took a pair of silver chopsticks and put the clear fish fillets, duck breasts, etc., which were so thin that they could see through it, into the hot stone pot one by one.
The broth in the stone pot is covered with a layer of golden oil. When the fish fillet rolls in, it seems to break the tranquility of the soup, and it ripples like flowers falling into a lake.
In an instant, the scalding heat and fragrant aroma contained inside burst out domineeringly from the ripples.
The disciples of Jiuyao Mountain next to them, who should have taken a step forward first, couldn't move for some reason.
And soon, Hang Wan'er neatly poured the side dishes on all nine small plates into the hot broth.
In an instant, several elixir halos floated out.
Nanxun and Jinbamen's disciples could not help but hold their breath.
The Jiuyao Mountain disciples who stopped to watch were even more surprised.
Nanxun's funeral ceremony of magical treasures is turning them into elixirs to send them away!
Very thin slices of fish and meat, cooked in a stone pot that has reached the boiling point under hot oil
The basic seasoning has already been done in the rice noodle soup.
The fish fillet in it can be eaten directly. It is delicious and tender.
Su Yu motioned them to add rice noodles, then handed them the chili and vinegar bottle and let them arrange it according to their own taste.
The crowd quickly got busy.
Hang Wan'er like a light taste, so she eats it directly without chili or vinegar. She picks up a few sticks of crystal clear rice noodles, and with a slurp, the corners of her mouth are oily and shining like gold.
She took another mouthful of white tender fish fillet, and a few elixir halos disappeared in her mouth in an instant.
"It's hot."
Hang Wan'er couldn't help opening her mouth and let out a breath of heat.
But soon, she closed her eyes.
"Mellow and delicious. Like lava, the heat is not visible on the surface but is surprisingly hot on the inside. This magic silver noodle is soft and smooth when you put it in your mouth. In a blink of an eye, the whole thing went into my mouth..."
There was a hint of satisfaction on her little face.
But soon, she sighed solemnly. "Go well, the ropeway snowball train."
As she opened her eyes, she lowered her head and sucked up the remaining noodles, not afraid of being hot.
Suddenly, Nanxun disciples and Jinbamen disciples were sweating profusely.
The disciples of Jiuyao Mountain, who were watching next to them, couldn't help swallowing.
They don't know why.
It seems delicious.
A junior sister in a brown dress beside Xu Tu could not help but walk in front of Hang Wan'er. Her eyes twinkled when she said, "This magic weapon can be turned into food when it is damaged? Do you have any extra damaged magic weapons? Can you give some to me? I'll have a... half portion."
Hang Wan'er sucked up the last piece of noodle in the bowl in awe and pulled the remaining tofu skin into her mouth with silver chopsticks.
"No."
Jiuyao Mountain disciples: ...
"This is a magic weapon refined by my Second Senior Sister, and it can only be sent to the road by its user."
After Hang Wan'er refused, she drank the hot soup with oily beads in small sips.
Su Yu boiled the soup with chicken and duck, but she also added ham to enhance the flavor and freshness. The taste is rich and fragrant.
The tongue and taste buds dance with every bite.
Once rolled into the throat, their Dantian and sea of consciousness resonate.
After drinking the soup, Hang Wan'er's face was red with heat. There were crystal beads of sweat on the tip of her nose.
"The damaged magic weapon contains a profound truth. Only the user can understand it."
The Jiuyao Mountain disciples looked complicated.
'Is this bullshit?'
Yu Dong stood up with a smile. "Brothers and sisters in Jiuyao Mountain, do you want to purchase a set of ropeway snowball treasures? First-grade ones, even Golden Core cultivators can operate it. After rolling a distance of ten meters, it will be damaged."
"..."
The chief of Jiuyao Mountain, Xu Tu, immediately stopped his brothers and sisters who were about to move.
"Thanks for your kindness. We don't need it."
First-grade magic weapons are used by Qi Refining cultivators at most. They are all in Golden Cores and Nascent Souls, so it is not useful at all.
Although core disciples have more spiritual stone savings than ordinary disciples, it does not come from the wind.
"We will go first, Nanxun."
"Hey, it's a pity. They can't understand the true meaning of Second Senior Sister."
"Forget it."
Jiuyao Mountain's Xu Tu stifled, but he did not look back.
They trotted down a mountain.
After they left, Hang Wan'er opened her eyes to look at Nanxun and Jinbamen.
Everyone stood up and recited in unison.
"Others are knives, and I am a fish. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Thank you, Sister Su, for your teaching."
"...Thank you, Master Su of Nanxun, for your teaching."
After everyone finished speaking, they energetically followed the pace of Jiuyao Mountain disciples.
They didn't consume much spiritual aura.
Just after entering the Five Elements Earth Palace, some gold and fire element disciples felt a little down. However, now they are full of enthusiasm and passion, and their vitality has reached its peak.
In the beginning, Jin Haotian and the others wanted to give up the Five Elements Earth Palace.
But now, they have been pushed forward by this special magic weapon memorial ceremony.
Jinbamen and Nanxun are full of energy!
...
There is silence outside the projection array.
[Nanxun...plus one point. ]
A line of small characters appeared on the stone tablet at the gate of the Five Elements Earth Palace.
Two points for Nanxun.
Jiuyao Mountain is one point.
The onlookers were stunned.
'They didn't do much but got points.'
Taoist Mu pondered. "It seems that the Earth Palace does not completely test the disciples' cultivation, but also depends on the disciples' attitude and potential."
The elder of Jiuyao Mountain looked at him complicatedly for a while. "I take back what I just said. Nanxun's ceremony... is not bad."
The elders of the West Territory have also changed the way they looked at Qing Xuan and others.
The level of cultivation and the mastery of techniques are only temporary.
If the Dao mind is firm and the mind is transparent, there will be great wisdom. Then, given time, they will definitely break their mortality.
When Five Elements Palace is looking for a successor, they also value future qualifications.
The elders all understood.

Unfortunately, none of them could transmit sound to their disciples already inside the formation.
If they fail this time, they must wait ten days before they can re-enter.
At this moment, inside the five gates, each faction is fighting.
For example, Tiansheng Sect's Mei Zhen'er in the Fire Palace has already entered the second volcano.
"Miss Mei Zhen'er is walking with the Young Sect Master of the Leiyun Sect this year. The two factions join forces. They will definitely take down the Fire Palace."
"Hey, Young Master Lei has loved her for many years. This time he specially escorted her to attack the Fire Palace first. The goal of the Leiyun Sect is actually the Five Elements Water Palace or the Five Elements Metal Palace."
As soon as they finished speaking, they saw Mei Zhen'er in the projection stone, almost being knocked down by Senior Sister Qianxi from Shuilingmen. However, soon she fell into the arms of Young Master Lei and was hugged by him.
The eyes of the two of them were full of love.
Shuilingmen's eldest sister, Shui Qianxi, couldn't break the joint effort of the two of them.
The onlookers watched excitedly.
"It seems that the victory of the Fire Palace has been decided."
...
In the Five Elements Earth Palace, Su Yu has reached the second mountain.
On the majestic mountain in front of her, there is a deep imprint of the word "defense."
"Earth Palace's test is defense. Fortunately, we are well prepared."
The Yunruo Gate's Nascent Soul disciple arrived one step earlier and had a happy face.
He still didn't know that his sect had been deducted one point. He confidently took out a defensive magic weapon from his storage bag - a fifth-grade bronze bell with a bluish patina pattern.
The fifth-grade magic weapon can at least resist a full blow of Nascent Soul's peak. If facing an ordinary Nascent Soul, it can resist at least a stick of incense time.
Su Yu admired the calm and atmospheric texture of this bronze bell, the smooth and ancient lines, and the carvings of the dragons and inscriptions on it.
To be a good cook also requires observing life around you.
Various lines of art can often inspire beauty in the plate.
Not only Yunruo Gate, but several disciples of other sects also took out their own defensive magic weapons.
In an instant, there was a loud bang. The second mountain in front of them shook!
"Second Senior Sister, be careful!"
Everyone swayed and stood unsteadily.
Hang Wan'er threw her Five Immortal Rope to the boulder next to her. Only then she barely stabilized herself and support Su Yu.
But when she turned her head, she saw that Su Yu had inserted a rolling pin into the ground. She is as stable as using a crutch.
Hang Wan'er admires her.
The rest of the people also threw their swords and halberds into the ground. Their faces are solemn.
"This mountain is very strange. Everyone pay attention." Jin Haotian usually escapes easily, but now he feels a bad premonition.
They looked around cautiously but found that the disciples of Jiuyao Mountain were gone.
When looking around again, they saw that Xu Tu and others were deeply rooted in the soil, with both feet inserted into the ground. They were gradually buried and became shorter by half.
The higher their cultivation base, the deeper they could bury themselves.
Even when the earth is shaking, they are not afraid.
This is an earth-based exercise, Half-Cut Into the Earth. They are one with mountains and rivers.
It's really... such a powerful technique.
Su Yu glanced at them and was worried that Elder Hong Yun, who was watching the projection, would be unconscious at the moment.
They must be resolved quickly.
Otherwise, she might have to go out and start a rescue party for Elder Hong Yun, who is obsessed with cleanliness.
While she was thinking, there was a loud bang, and several boulders and dust rolled down from the top of the mountain.
The landslide started, and several ferocious apes behind the giant boulders jumped from the top of the mountain. They tapped their arms on the chest and let out a sharp roar.
A line of small words appeared on the stone wall in the mountain.
[Chen Wei from Yunruo Gate in the late Nascent Soul stage. ]
[The peak of Nascent Soul, from Jiuyao Mountain, Xu Tu]
[From Nanxun, a Golden Core???, Su Yu]
Everyone looked at Su Yu in surprise.
'Unknown cultivation base?'
'Even the Earth Palace Lord couldn't see it? Or because the Golden Core was too weak, so the Earth Palace Lord expressed a sense of helplessness.'
[Assessment on this mountain: You three lead your respective teams to defend against ape attacks.]
[If the team loses half of the people, you will be eliminated immediately.]
Everyone took a deep breath.
The chief of Yunruo Gate, Chen Wei, held a fifth-rank bronze bell and looked at the disciples of the other sects behind him with an ugly face.
"We don't know each other. How can we cooperate?"
Xu Tu has the disciples of Jiuyao Mountain, while Su Yu has the Nanxun disciples.
Jinbamen's Jin Haotian cheekily followed her all the way. So Jinbamen was also considered by the palace lord to belong to Su Yu's team.
But in any case, they have a familiar tacit understanding.
Yunruo Gate is the most unlucky.
But outside the projection array, the elders and disciples of the various factions were silent for a while.
For earth-based exercises, the fourth to sixth levels are all focused on defense.
When demons come to invade, the successor that the earth palace master is looking for is obviously a genius who can protect thousands of people.
If a cultivator can only protect himself and a few of his junior brothers and sisters when disaster strikes, that is not a successor that the Five Elements Palace wants.
For a long time, the elder of Yunruo Gate looked at his chief disciples, Chen Wei, in the projection array.
With a sigh, he said, "We lost."
Because of this narrow vision, Chen Wei had lost to Nanxun's Su Yu, who brought Jinbamen, before the battle.
"So, the assessment of this earth palace is to protect the others."
The Jiuyao Mountain elder nodded.
"In the first cliff assessment, anyone who leaves first will be deducted points."
"This second assessment is also to see who can protect the person behind them."
Everyone nodded.
Many disciples feel that their mood has improved.
As soon as the elders of Jiuyao Mountain finished, the giant stone monkeys in the projection array let out a deafening scream.
They all took out gold attacking magic weapons from their belly button.
Flying swords, spears, vajra... all gleaming like jewels, overflowing with fourth and fifth-grade light.
[T/N: Vajra is a type of club used ritually in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vajra]
In an instant, several attacking magic weapons rushed towards Chen Wei, the chief of Yunruo Gate, and the other nine people behind him.
[You need to withstand five attacks to pass.]
Chen Wei from Yunruo Gate: ...
Before he could react, with a single blow, a fifth-rank flying sword in front of him smashed his fifth-rank bronze bell. The precious light dissipated, and it was instantly damaged.
Dense flying swords flew past his forehead and stabbed the nine people behind him!
"This level is too brutal..."
Jin Haotian ate a lot of Su Yu's pills, and now he is at the late stage of Nascent Soul. He feels a lot of pressure.
One protects the other nine.
Chen Wei, the chief of Yunruo Gate, was beaten up!
His fifth-grade magic weapon only blocked one attack, and it was gone.
The nine other disciples from various sects behind him immediately hurriedly defended themselves. They threw out their defensive magic weapons and held their spiritual aura.
But after a while, they all shattered.
In an instant, the second attack of the Giant Stone Monkey arrives!
They threw dozens of magic weapons again and again, but like torrential rain, the monkeys' attack fell on their heads.
"Ah!"
The disciples, unable to support themselves behind Chen Wei, were pierced by the flying sword and flew out.
Chen Wei, the chief of Yunruo Gate, is only in the late Nascent Soul. In the face of dozens of attacks, he reluctantly persevered.
In an instant, the third attack came, and there was no one behind Chen Wei.
Ten people collapsed!
[Failed.]
Hang Wan'er instantly felt the despair, fear, and unwillingness of Chen Wei and others.
But now they feel lucky. They escaped under the attack of several fourth and fifth-grade magic weapons, but they were only injured, not dead. The subordinates of the palace master of the Five Elements Earth Palace showed mercy.
Their state of mind fluctuated, from life to death to life. Hang Wan'er instantly felt the golden core in her body seem to be in a stage of great perfection in one breath.
"Second Senior Sister." Hang Wan'er Nascent Soul was about to condense, and she was especially keen at this moment. "I am afraid that this level will change the difficulty according to the strength of the challenger."
"As soon as Yunruo Gate's Chen Wei took out the fifth-grade bronze bell, the monkeys threw a fifth-grade flying sword. When the bronze bell was damaged, the monkey threw fourth-grade flying swords at them..."
A fourth-grade attack corresponds to the strength of the ordinary Nascent Soul, which is in line with Chen Wei's own strength.
In other words, the assessment would have been easier if he hadn't taken out the fifth-grade bronze bell.
Those monkeys are really intelligent examiners.
Su Yu understood.
Xu Tu, who was buried in the soil, had a solemn face. He watched the Yunruo Gate disciple, and others were sent out by the formation instantly.
He took a step forward and bowed to Su Yu. "Then I'll take a step first."
After saying that, he slowly floated up from the soft soil like it was melted by water.
He didn't care at all when he was disheveled. He got up and walked to the other Jiuyao Mountain disciples.
He was like a hill. He immediately formed a formation with his other nine brothers and sisters.
Ten people work together.
Suddenly, using the movement of Foolish Man Moving Mountains, the soil of mountains and rivers from all directions flew one after another to them.
They took a step toward the ten apes with thick dust on their bodies.
When they walked toward the apes, they formed a moving earth tower about two feet high!
[Start. ]
The giant stone monkeys screamed again and took out the golden attacking magic weapon from their belly button.
Fourth-grade flying sword.
But the ten people in Jiuyao Mountain are like one at this moment.
"Go!"
Xu Tu let out a roar.
The other nine disciples' bodies are connected to the soil. The tower composed of ten people is like a mountain, and it is hard to resist the encirclement of flying swords.
Every time the ape attack landed, it fell on the person in the front first.
The front wall of the tower was broken three inches in an instant.
After resisting the three attacks, Xu Tu was sweating profusely.
On the left and right sides of the tower, the walls collapsed. Four Jiuyao Mountain's Golden Core disciples had disintegrated.
When the fifth attack flew, Xu Tu spits out a mouthful of blood. The soil armor on his body suddenly cracked.
When he was about to fall, he was forcibly supported by the two disciples behind him. He barely stood in front of them while trembling.
Small words suddenly appeared in the second mountain in front of them.
[Six people remain. Jiuyao Mountain's Xu Tu passed the defense. ]
if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
A mountain road showed up.
Xu Tu looked solemn.
The second level had already forced him to do his best.
He looked at the junior brothers and sisters around him. "Regulate your breath and take pills on the spot."
While speaking, he swept his gaze to Nanxun, looking for the woman in the moonlight dress who was surrounded by other disciples.
She is only a Golden Core, but she was selected as the leader in the second round. She has to undertake the task of protecting twenty people.
Xu Tu couldn't help but pay attention to her.
Soon, he heard the conversation between the woman's clear voice and her younger brothers and sisters.
"Second Senior Sister, we will join hands with Jinbamen to use the Burger Treasure array. Can we do it?"
Xu Tu: "?"
"Yes," replied the clear voice, "but it is still not very safe. After all, the monkeys will increase the difficulty according to our situation. In this way, Second Sister has thought about it and will make a few more armored battle robes for you."
Xu Tu was taken aback.
'Armor?'
He turned around and nodded. A refiner is too fragile.
Others may be able to resist the attack of the giant ape, but a refiner is not good at defense. Not to mention that she is only in Golden Core and has to stand in front of everyone as the first guardian in line.
It was too difficult.
If she refined a fourth-grade magic armor, the monkey also took out a fourth-grade weapon.
If she refined a fifth-grade armor, the monkey also took out a fifth-grade weapon.
This test is based on the guardian's superior defensive strength. Only if it exceeds the same level can it be passed.
He shook his head and sighed.
But soon, a strong aroma of spiritual tea drifted to his side.
He turned his head in doubt and saw this beautiful female cultivator handing out 'tea eggs' to the junior brothers and sisters around her...!?
Then everyone from Nanxun peeled off the eggshells.
Yu Dong tried it first. He took the tea egg and sucked the soup in his mouth.
Then he put it in his palm and rolled it. Immediately the eggshell was finely cracked into small pieces. Then he peeled from the middle and carefully peeled the shell in one whole piece.
He put the eggshell into spiritual water to wash it, and in an instant, there was a piece of treasure light glowing in his hand.
It is one full foot long and seems to be made of hundreds of small hard horns similar to dragon scales. It is a dragon-scale armor cloth that emits a faint copper-colored light!
A fourth-grade magic weapon glow fell on Yu Dong's hand.
Su Yu nodded.
'The theory of magical use of eggshells, cough.'
"Second Senior Sister," Yu Dong's eyes lit up, "This is an armored robe? The fabric on the chest and back is decorated with armor pieces that are easy to move and have a lot of resistance. Wonderful."
He pressed it against himself as he spoke and compared it with his body.
But Su Yu's eyes jumped.
She looked at Yu Dong. "Your senior brother didn't come in. I forgot."
Yu Dong: ...
'Yes, Second Senior Sister can do everything, but not tailoring.'
It is only a large piece of dragon-scale cloth...
...
Outside the projection array.
Xiao Muge: "..."
'Is it too late to go in now?'
He raised his head and looked at his second junior sister, who wrapped the one-foot wide dragon scale armor around her as a cloak.
He looked down.
'Well, Second Junior Sister has worked very hard.'
He will also praise her if she loses today, so her heart won't get hurt.
But in the projection array, Su Yu was not afraid at all.
She boiled a large pot of hundreds of tea eggs.
Yu Dong is constantly calculating.
"First-grade... fourth-grade, superior fourth-grade."
He divided them into levels and distributed them to everyone.
Hang Wan'er nodded. "Well, I understand. It turns out that today is the lucky treasure defense formation."
Xu Tu: "?"
But as soon as Su Yu was ready, she got up, "Okay, let's go."
The ten people from Nanxun and the ten people from Jinbamen advance and retreat together.
'Let's fight together!'
Suddenly, twenty giant rock monkeys lined up and jumped out of the mountain.
Su Yu walked slowly to the center.
[Five attacks begin.]
[First strike! ]
Su Yu snapped her fingers.
Yan Yan immediately took control of his sword. Twenty of them flew in front of the crowd, instantly picking up several pieces of first-grade tea eggs.
"What's the use of first-grade armors?"
"The highest they have is a Nascent Soul cultivator. According to the female cultivator's guess, the monkey threw at least a fourth-grade magic weapon!"
The onlookers in front of the stone monument do not understand.
In an instant, the monkeys threw the fourth-rank flying sword.
"Yeah, just say the first-grade armor is useless!"
But when they were puzzled, they saw Su Yu and others pull out a tea egg and suck the soup.
Then de-shelling began on the spot.
In an instant, in front of the stunned crowd, four rays of light bloomed in everyone's hands.
'Fourth-grade defense armor!'
The fourth-grade monkeys' flying swords arrived in a flash, and they all met the fourth-grade armor. With a ding, the treasure light disappeared together.
[Second strike! ]
When the monkeys took out double amount of fourth-grade flying swords, everyone from Nanxun began to peel shells again, and the rays of light flashed in their hands.
With half of the fourth-grade armor and half of the fourth-grade superior armor, they immediately defeated the fourth-grade flying sword.
[Third strike! ]
The monkeys beat their chests in anger. Each took out fourth-grade superior attack magic weapons, and everyone in Nanxun began to de-shell again. Four rays of light fell.
The fourth-grade high-grade armor flew out one after another, collided with the fourth-grade high-grade flying sword in an instant, and they were all destroyed.
Su Yu was unharmed. The disciples behind her were also unharmed.
The onlookers in front of the projection array were dumbfounded.
"Their magic weapon... only at the last breath... the rank is determined."
"The monkeys predict the challenger's defense, but Nanxun's defense level is fake!"
"It thought it had judged clearly, but Nanxun took out a more powerful defensive magic weapon..."
Having predicted the opponent's prediction, Nan Xun was steady.
[Fourth strike! ]
Apparently, the apes were enraged.
They didn't care about Su Yu's state and patted their chests with both arms and took out fifth-grade flying swords—
Su Yu took a deep breath.
"Hamburger Defense Array, get up!"
Hang Wan'er moved immediately.
The disciples of Nanxun and Jinbamen lined up to a horizontal line in an instant, changing to a formation like in the game Eagle Catching Chicken.
One after another followed behind Su Yu.
In front of the projection stone, everyone was sluggish.
'What is this for?'
The five-rank flying swords of the monkeys came together in an instant and stabbed toward Su Yu, who was the leader.
But Su Yu closed her eyes on the spot. She sat down with her knees crossed and began to level up.
Yu Dong and the others behind her immediately took four or five tea eggs in their hands.
They peeled it off instantly, and 80 pieces of the fourth-grade and fourth-grade high-grade dragon scale armors layered on top of each other.
After that, Yu Dong, Hang Wan'er, Jin Haotian, ... each of them outputs spiritual energy, layer upon layer, snowball treasure, golden hairpin, golden snail ... all stacked up one after another.
In an instant, it flew forward. The fifth-grade long sword immediately penetrated through the eighty pieces of armor layer by layer, making a sharp sound like metal screeching.
A layer of armor shatters.
Everyone's Nascent Soul and Golden Core's spiritual aura shattered layer by layer.
Snowball Treasures and Golden Snails are behind them and only lose a silver glow.
Finally, there was only one ray of light left.
Yu Dong spat out the remaining eggshells in his mouth and sprayed them on the layer of defense.
Followed by Jin Haotian, Yan Yan...
"Puff puff puff..." They kept spitting out hard shells.
Pieces of hard egg shells condensed into dragon-scale pieces in the air, hitting the sword energy of the fifth-grade long sword in front of them.
The sound is continuous, and the glow of the dragon scale armor is continuous.
The third-grade, third-grade high-grade, fourth-grade, and fourth-grade high-grade scales and the broken armor finally dissipated the sword energy of the fifth-grade flying sword.
The disciples of Jiuyao Mountain were stunned and forgot to adjust their breath.
'Spitting armor... What kind of defense is this?'
"The Burger Treasure Array is finally here again."
Elder Zhang looked up at the projection stone and missed it very much.
"Old Mu, this is your Zhiqiong Peak's well-known defensive formation. What you've always wanted to see."
Taoist Mu: "..."
'Very good, Master just found out today.'
"Eldest disciple, did you know this?"
Xiao Muge: "..."
"Okay, I'm not the last one to know."
Taoist Mu are happy.
[Fifth hit...! ]

While they were discussing, the palace lord inside the small world of earth palace was obviously angry.
This time, the twenty giant apes took out the top-grade fifth-grade flying swords from their stomachs.
'Twenty!'
Xiao Muge stepped forward in a flash.
But in the projection array, Su Yu finally stood up and opened her bright, firm eyes.
"Let Second Senior Sister do it."
Su Yu successfully condense a Nascent Soul.
Her whole person seems to be reborn. Her skin seems to have condensed from ten thousand years of ice, and there is no trace of impurities. A spirit fire has tempered the light in her eyes.
She took out a large double-eared iron wok, and the fire ignited in a flash.
Several dozen tea eggs poured out.
Accompanied by a stream of spiritual water to cleanse, five twinkling dark golden lights are emitted in an instant!
Five-grade superior defense dragon scale armor!
In an instant, they collided with twenty fifth-grade superior flying swords.
After several loud noises, a golden light burst out from the sky.
In an instant, the twenty giant apes took a step back.
And disappears instantly.
[...all members passed.]
It took a long time for the giant mountain to condense these three characters.
Outside the gate's stone tablet, a line of small characters floats.
[It is both protection and trust. Twenty people are indispensable. Advancing and retreating together, and growing together... Nanxun's Su Yu adds ten points.]
Everyone was shocked.
Bonus points for the first disciple.
[Jiuyao Mountain's Xu Tu added three points. He guarded everyone and did not retreat at all. But unfortunately, his dexterity was insufficient, and nearly half of the people were damaged.]
Before everyone could react, they heard the beautiful sound in the projection array.
"Take a break. Let's all have snacks. Divide the rest of the Dahongpao Armor Egg."
Su Yu greeted her brothers and sisters in the projection array to enjoy the fragrant tea eggs.
The Elder of Jiuyao Mountain had learned the lesson this time.
He was one step ahead of Hang Wan'er to say, "It's time to hold the magic weapon farewell ceremony."
Everyone: "..."
'Skilled!'
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Chapter 72 - Giant Stone Monkeys vs Nanxun with Tea Eggs
'What is a Magic Weapon Memorial Service?'
Outside the projection array, everyone looked at everyone from Nanxun.
Qing Xuan coughed lightly.
And the Nanxun disciples who did not enter the battle behind him, except for Xiao Muge, whose expression was hidden by the hat, the rest of the disciples showed grief but moved forward.
All the disciples and elders of the Western Region were stunned by the mourning appearance.
"Is Nanxun seriously ill?"if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
"They won first place in the cultivation event in the north, surpassing Tiansheng Sect. So I never understood why their elites would be dissatisfied and leave. Now I understand... This sect is sick."
Who would be so idle to commemorate their magic weapon?
Other than their natal magic weapon, a cultivator has a long life. Who knows how many magic weapons they have to replace during their lifetime?
"You're hypocritical, Qing Xuan."
The elder of Jiuyao Mountain said this while sitting cross-legged on a hill.
If they looked carefully, both of his legs seemed to be integrated with the mountain. As he spoke, he rubbed the bumps on his body, and a layer of soil bumps fell off his skin.
"He Tong, that's the name of your head, isn't it? What a waste of cultivation time! If my disciple did this, I would bury them!"
Qing Xuan did not answer, but Elder Zhang sighed.
"Old Sha, then you must take good care of your Jiuyao Mountain disciples." Elder Zhang shook his head.
The elder of Jiuyao Mountain was stunned.
'What does it mean?'
'His disciples are not so stupid.'
Just as he was about to refute, he saw the Elder of Jinbamen also looking at him sympathetically.
"?"
"Facts speak louder than words. I won't argue with you. Let's keep watching!"
Elder Gang Sha hummed at the projection array but was stunned after a while.
He saw Su Yu in the projection array heating dozens of pitch-black stone pots to boiling hot.
Then while holding a large soup pot, she poured a bowl of soup stock into the dozens of stone pots. A layer of golden light shines on the surface, but the pots are not boiling.
The hot oil completely locked all the heat under the soup.
Hang Wan'er was cleaning up the ropeways that had lost their silver radiance. She picked them up one by one, washing them with spiritual water, and dividing them into empty white porcelain bowls.
The damaged snowballs were placed in another small dish. Yan Yan cut all of them in half, half for each person.
Su Yu took out some frozen ice fish and ice duck from her storage bag... and cut some fish fillets, duck breasts, chicken pieces, and other ingredients.
She also cut a little of the extra bean curd and tofu skin.
She divided them neatly into categories and placed each of them in small dishes the size of a palm.
There are nine types of side dishes on small plates.
A sigh flashed across Su Yu's face. "Time is tight. That's all for now."
There were twenty trays in total. Each contained a hot stone pot, a plate of rice noodles, and nine plates of side dishes.
Just like the ice fish fillet and ice duck breast, each ingredient was cut so thin that after three or four pieces were stacked together, the color of the white porcelain plate below can also be revealed.
'These are obviously not cooked.'
The people inside and outside the projection array were speechless.
This is like a large-scale sacrifice, using so many three or fourth-rank monsters.
Nanxun is doing something strange.
However, the Jinbamen and Nanxun disciples inside, totaling 20 people, think that it is very interesting.
Hang Wan'er suppressed her curiosity and led everyone to recite it seriously.
"In today's battle, we haven't mastered the ability to move mountains, so we are not as good as a disciple of Jiuyao Mountain."
The disciples of Jiuyao Mountain, who had just finished panting and completed their path construction, were startled.
Even the chief, Xu Tu, blushed and couldn't help slowing down his movement.
He pricked up his ears.
'Nanxun is praising us.'
'Nanxun is really humble.'
But Hang Wan'er didn't look at him and seriously took everyone in Nanxun to repent.
"Our Nanxun's Nascent Soul disciples are not strong enough to take Golden Core disciples over the cliff. We can only rely on the magic weapon of Second Senior Sister."
"Today, this magic weapon of ropeway snowball train was damaged because we are not strong enough."
Jin Haotian and the disciples of Jinbamen lowered their heads.
"We, Jinbamen, are incompetent."
They also blushed.
The footsteps of the disciples of Jiuyao Mountain stopped one after another.
Xu Tu couldn't help but feel awe.
Cultivators who know how to reflect on themselves tend to gain faster.
Nanxun's magic treasure mourning also has come to an end.
"Today's magic weapon is damaged," Hang Wan'er took a deep breath and said sadly, "we will send it the last ride with repentance and eat it."
Jiuyao Mountain: ...
Outside the projection array: ...
Seeing that Hang Wan'er had finished speaking, Yan Yan had already drawn out his flying swords. Every two swords carry a full tray and send them to each disciple smoothly.
Everyone can see clearly. There are nine dishes and one stone pot on the tray.
There are also two plates containing the damaged silver cable magic weapon and magic snowball that lost had lost their luster.
Hang Wan'er looked at Su Yu with awe. "Second Senior Sister, let's start."
Su Yu nodded.
Hang Wan'er took a pair of silver chopsticks and put the clear fish fillets, duck breasts, etc., which were so thin that they could see through it, into the hot stone pot one by one.
The broth in the stone pot is covered with a layer of golden oil. When the fish fillet rolls in, it seems to break the tranquility of the soup, and it ripples like flowers falling into a lake.
In an instant, the scalding heat and fragrant aroma contained inside burst out domineeringly from the ripples.
The disciples of Jiuyao Mountain next to them, who should have taken a step forward first, couldn't move for some reason.
And soon, Hang Wan'er neatly poured the side dishes on all nine small plates into the hot broth.
In an instant, several elixir halos floated out.
Nanxun and Jinbamen's disciples could not help but hold their breath.
The Jiuyao Mountain disciples who stopped to watch were even more surprised.
Nanxun's funeral ceremony of magical treasures is turning them into elixirs to send them away!
Very thin slices of fish and meat, cooked in a stone pot that has reached the boiling point under hot oil
The basic seasoning has already been done in the rice noodle soup.
The fish fillet in it can be eaten directly. It is delicious and tender.
Su Yu motioned them to add rice noodles, then handed them the chili and vinegar bottle and let them arrange it according to their own taste.
The crowd quickly got busy.
Hang Wan'er like a light taste, so she eats it directly without chili or vinegar. She picks up a few sticks of crystal clear rice noodles, and with a slurp, the corners of her mouth are oily and shining like gold.
She took another mouthful of white tender fish fillet, and a few elixir halos disappeared in her mouth in an instant.
"It's hot."
Hang Wan'er couldn't help opening her mouth and let out a breath of heat.
But soon, she closed her eyes.
"Mellow and delicious. Like lava, the heat is not visible on the surface but is surprisingly hot on the inside. This magic silver noodle is soft and smooth when you put it in your mouth. In a blink of an eye, the whole thing went into my mouth..."
There was a hint of satisfaction on her little face.
But soon, she sighed solemnly. "Go well, the ropeway snowball train."
As she opened her eyes, she lowered her head and sucked up the remaining noodles, not afraid of being hot.
Suddenly, Nanxun disciples and Jinbamen disciples were sweating profusely.
The disciples of Jiuyao Mountain, who were watching next to them, couldn't help swallowing.
They don't know why.
It seems delicious.
A junior sister in a brown dress beside Xu Tu could not help but walk in front of Hang Wan'er. Her eyes twinkled when she said, "This magic weapon can be turned into food when it is damaged? Do you have any extra damaged magic weapons? Can you give some to me? I'll have a... half portion."
Hang Wan'er sucked up the last piece of noodle in the bowl in awe and pulled the remaining tofu skin into her mouth with silver chopsticks.
"No."
Jiuyao Mountain disciples: ...
"This is a magic weapon refined by my Second Senior Sister, and it can only be sent to the road by its user."
After Hang Wan'er refused, she drank the hot soup with oily beads in small sips.
Su Yu boiled the soup with chicken and duck, but she also added ham to enhance the flavor and freshness. The taste is rich and fragrant.
The tongue and taste buds dance with every bite.
Once rolled into the throat, their Dantian and sea of consciousness resonate.
After drinking the soup, Hang Wan'er's face was red with heat. There were crystal beads of sweat on the tip of her nose.
"The damaged magic weapon contains a profound truth. Only the user can understand it."
The Jiuyao Mountain disciples looked complicated.
'Is this bullshit?'
Yu Dong stood up with a smile. "Brothers and sisters in Jiuyao Mountain, do you want to purchase a set of ropeway snowball treasures? First-grade ones, even Golden Core cultivators can operate it. After rolling a distance of ten meters, it will be damaged."
"..."
The chief of Jiuyao Mountain, Xu Tu, immediately stopped his brothers and sisters who were about to move.
"Thanks for your kindness. We don't need it."
First-grade magic weapons are used by Qi Refining cultivators at most. They are all in Golden Cores and Nascent Souls, so it is not useful at all.
Although core disciples have more spiritual stone savings than ordinary disciples, it does not come from the wind.
"We will go first, Nanxun."
"Hey, it's a pity. They can't understand the true meaning of Second Senior Sister."
"Forget it."
Jiuyao Mountain's Xu Tu stifled, but he did not look back.
They trotted down a mountain.
After they left, Hang Wan'er opened her eyes to look at Nanxun and Jinbamen.
Everyone stood up and recited in unison.
"Others are knives, and I am a fish. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Thank you, Sister Su, for your teaching."
"...Thank you, Master Su of Nanxun, for your teaching."
After everyone finished speaking, they energetically followed the pace of Jiuyao Mountain disciples.
They didn't consume much spiritual aura.
Just after entering the Five Elements Earth Palace, some gold and fire element disciples felt a little down. However, now they are full of enthusiasm and passion, and their vitality has reached its peak.
In the beginning, Jin Haotian and the others wanted to give up the Five Elements Earth Palace.
But now, they have been pushed forward by this special magic weapon memorial ceremony.
Jinbamen and Nanxun are full of energy!
...
There is silence outside the projection array.
[Nanxun...plus one point. ]
A line of small characters appeared on the stone tablet at the gate of the Five Elements Earth Palace.
Two points for Nanxun.
Jiuyao Mountain is one point.
The onlookers were stunned.
'They didn't do much but got points.'
Taoist Mu pondered. "It seems that the Earth Palace does not completely test the disciples' cultivation, but also depends on the disciples' attitude and potential."
The elder of Jiuyao Mountain looked at him complicatedly for a while. "I take back what I just said. Nanxun's ceremony... is not bad."
The elders of the West Territory have also changed the way they looked at Qing Xuan and others.
The level of cultivation and the mastery of techniques are only temporary.
If the Dao mind is firm and the mind is transparent, there will be great wisdom. Then, given time, they will definitely break their mortality.
When Five Elements Palace is looking for a successor, they also value future qualifications.
The elders all understood.

Unfortunately, none of them could transmit sound to their disciples already inside the formation.
If they fail this time, they must wait ten days before they can re-enter.
At this moment, inside the five gates, each faction is fighting.
For example, Tiansheng Sect's Mei Zhen'er in the Fire Palace has already entered the second volcano.
"Miss Mei Zhen'er is walking with the Young Sect Master of the Leiyun Sect this year. The two factions join forces. They will definitely take down the Fire Palace."
"Hey, Young Master Lei has loved her for many years. This time he specially escorted her to attack the Fire Palace first. The goal of the Leiyun Sect is actually the Five Elements Water Palace or the Five Elements Metal Palace."
As soon as they finished speaking, they saw Mei Zhen'er in the projection stone, almost being knocked down by Senior Sister Qianxi from Shuilingmen. However, soon she fell into the arms of Young Master Lei and was hugged by him.
The eyes of the two of them were full of love.
Shuilingmen's eldest sister, Shui Qianxi, couldn't break the joint effort of the two of them.
The onlookers watched excitedly.
"It seems that the victory of the Fire Palace has been decided."
...
In the Five Elements Earth Palace, Su Yu has reached the second mountain.
On the majestic mountain in front of her, there is a deep imprint of the word "defense."
"Earth Palace's test is defense. Fortunately, we are well prepared."
The Yunruo Gate's Nascent Soul disciple arrived one step earlier and had a happy face.
He still didn't know that his sect had been deducted one point. He confidently took out a defensive magic weapon from his storage bag - a fifth-grade bronze bell with a bluish patina pattern.
The fifth-grade magic weapon can at least resist a full blow of Nascent Soul's peak. If facing an ordinary Nascent Soul, it can resist at least a stick of incense time.
Su Yu admired the calm and atmospheric texture of this bronze bell, the smooth and ancient lines, and the carvings of the dragons and inscriptions on it.
To be a good cook also requires observing life around you.
Various lines of art can often inspire beauty in the plate.
Not only Yunruo Gate, but several disciples of other sects also took out their own defensive magic weapons.
In an instant, there was a loud bang. The second mountain in front of them shook!
"Second Senior Sister, be careful!"
Everyone swayed and stood unsteadily.
Hang Wan'er threw her Five Immortal Rope to the boulder next to her. Only then she barely stabilized herself and support Su Yu.
But when she turned her head, she saw that Su Yu had inserted a rolling pin into the ground. She is as stable as using a crutch.
Hang Wan'er admires her.
The rest of the people also threw their swords and halberds into the ground. Their faces are solemn.
"This mountain is very strange. Everyone pay attention." Jin Haotian usually escapes easily, but now he feels a bad premonition.
They looked around cautiously but found that the disciples of Jiuyao Mountain were gone.
When looking around again, they saw that Xu Tu and others were deeply rooted in the soil, with both feet inserted into the ground. They were gradually buried and became shorter by half.
The higher their cultivation base, the deeper they could bury themselves.
Even when the earth is shaking, they are not afraid.
This is an earth-based exercise, Half-Cut Into the Earth. They are one with mountains and rivers.
It's really... such a powerful technique.
Su Yu glanced at them and was worried that Elder Hong Yun, who was watching the projection, would be unconscious at the moment.
They must be resolved quickly.
Otherwise, she might have to go out and start a rescue party for Elder Hong Yun, who is obsessed with cleanliness.
While she was thinking, there was a loud bang, and several boulders and dust rolled down from the top of the mountain.
The landslide started, and several ferocious apes behind the giant boulders jumped from the top of the mountain. They tapped their arms on the chest and let out a sharp roar.
A line of small words appeared on the stone wall in the mountain.
[Chen Wei from Yunruo Gate in the late Nascent Soul stage. ]
[The peak of Nascent Soul, from Jiuyao Mountain, Xu Tu]
[From Nanxun, a Golden Core???, Su Yu]
Everyone looked at Su Yu in surprise.
'Unknown cultivation base?'
'Even the Earth Palace Lord couldn't see it? Or because the Golden Core was too weak, so the Earth Palace Lord expressed a sense of helplessness.'
[Assessment on this mountain: You three lead your respective teams to defend against ape attacks.]
[If the team loses half of the people, you will be eliminated immediately.]
Everyone took a deep breath.
The chief of Yunruo Gate, Chen Wei, held a fifth-rank bronze bell and looked at the disciples of the other sects behind him with an ugly face.
"We don't know each other. How can we cooperate?"
Xu Tu has the disciples of Jiuyao Mountain, while Su Yu has the Nanxun disciples.
Jinbamen's Jin Haotian cheekily followed her all the way. So Jinbamen was also considered by the palace lord to belong to Su Yu's team.
But in any case, they have a familiar tacit understanding.
Yunruo Gate is the most unlucky.
But outside the projection array, the elders and disciples of the various factions were silent for a while.
For earth-based exercises, the fourth to sixth levels are all focused on defense.
When demons come to invade, the successor that the earth palace master is looking for is obviously a genius who can protect thousands of people.
If a cultivator can only protect himself and a few of his junior brothers and sisters when disaster strikes, that is not a successor that the Five Elements Palace wants.
For a long time, the elder of Yunruo Gate looked at his chief disciples, Chen Wei, in the projection array.
With a sigh, he said, "We lost."
Because of this narrow vision, Chen Wei had lost to Nanxun's Su Yu, who brought Jinbamen, before the battle.
"So, the assessment of this earth palace is to protect the others."
The Jiuyao Mountain elder nodded.
"In the first cliff assessment, anyone who leaves first will be deducted points."
"This second assessment is also to see who can protect the person behind them."
Everyone nodded.
Many disciples feel that their mood has improved.
As soon as the elders of Jiuyao Mountain finished, the giant stone monkeys in the projection array let out a deafening scream.
They all took out gold attacking magic weapons from their belly button.
Flying swords, spears, vajra... all gleaming like jewels, overflowing with fourth and fifth-grade light.
[T/N: Vajra is a type of club used ritually in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vajra]
In an instant, several attacking magic weapons rushed towards Chen Wei, the chief of Yunruo Gate, and the other nine people behind him.
[You need to withstand five attacks to pass.]
Chen Wei from Yunruo Gate: ...
Before he could react, with a single blow, a fifth-rank flying sword in front of him smashed his fifth-rank bronze bell. The precious light dissipated, and it was instantly damaged.
Dense flying swords flew past his forehead and stabbed the nine people behind him!
"This level is too brutal..."
Jin Haotian ate a lot of Su Yu's pills, and now he is at the late stage of Nascent Soul. He feels a lot of pressure.
One protects the other nine.
Chen Wei, the chief of Yunruo Gate, was beaten up!
His fifth-grade magic weapon only blocked one attack, and it was gone.
The nine other disciples from various sects behind him immediately hurriedly defended themselves. They threw out their defensive magic weapons and held their spiritual aura.
But after a while, they all shattered.
In an instant, the second attack of the Giant Stone Monkey arrives!
They threw dozens of magic weapons again and again, but like torrential rain, the monkeys' attack fell on their heads.
"Ah!"
The disciples, unable to support themselves behind Chen Wei, were pierced by the flying sword and flew out.
Chen Wei, the chief of Yunruo Gate, is only in the late Nascent Soul. In the face of dozens of attacks, he reluctantly persevered.
In an instant, the third attack came, and there was no one behind Chen Wei.
Ten people collapsed!
[Failed.]
Hang Wan'er instantly felt the despair, fear, and unwillingness of Chen Wei and others.
But now they feel lucky. They escaped under the attack of several fourth and fifth-grade magic weapons, but they were only injured, not dead. The subordinates of the palace master of the Five Elements Earth Palace showed mercy.
Their state of mind fluctuated, from life to death to life. Hang Wan'er instantly felt the golden core in her body seem to be in a stage of great perfection in one breath.
"Second Senior Sister." Hang Wan'er Nascent Soul was about to condense, and she was especially keen at this moment. "I am afraid that this level will change the difficulty according to the strength of the challenger."
"As soon as Yunruo Gate's Chen Wei took out the fifth-grade bronze bell, the monkeys threw a fifth-grade flying sword. When the bronze bell was damaged, the monkey threw fourth-grade flying swords at them..."
A fourth-grade attack corresponds to the strength of the ordinary Nascent Soul, which is in line with Chen Wei's own strength.
In other words, the assessment would have been easier if he hadn't taken out the fifth-grade bronze bell.
Those monkeys are really intelligent examiners.
Su Yu understood.
Xu Tu, who was buried in the soil, had a solemn face. He watched the Yunruo Gate disciple, and others were sent out by the formation instantly.
He took a step forward and bowed to Su Yu. "Then I'll take a step first."
After saying that, he slowly floated up from the soft soil like it was melted by water.
He didn't care at all when he was disheveled. He got up and walked to the other Jiuyao Mountain disciples.
He was like a hill. He immediately formed a formation with his other nine brothers and sisters.
Ten people work together.
Suddenly, using the movement of Foolish Man Moving Mountains, the soil of mountains and rivers from all directions flew one after another to them.
They took a step toward the ten apes with thick dust on their bodies.
When they walked toward the apes, they formed a moving earth tower about two feet high!
[Start. ]
The giant stone monkeys screamed again and took out the golden attacking magic weapon from their belly button.
Fourth-grade flying sword.
But the ten people in Jiuyao Mountain are like one at this moment.
"Go!"
Xu Tu let out a roar.
The other nine disciples' bodies are connected to the soil. The tower composed of ten people is like a mountain, and it is hard to resist the encirclement of flying swords.
Every time the ape attack landed, it fell on the person in the front first.
The front wall of the tower was broken three inches in an instant.
After resisting the three attacks, Xu Tu was sweating profusely.
On the left and right sides of the tower, the walls collapsed. Four Jiuyao Mountain's Golden Core disciples had disintegrated.
When the fifth attack flew, Xu Tu spits out a mouthful of blood. The soil armor on his body suddenly cracked.
When he was about to fall, he was forcibly supported by the two disciples behind him. He barely stood in front of them while trembling.
Small words suddenly appeared in the second mountain in front of them.
[Six people remain. Jiuyao Mountain's Xu Tu passed the defense. ]
if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
A mountain road showed up.
Xu Tu looked solemn.
The second level had already forced him to do his best.
He looked at the junior brothers and sisters around him. "Regulate your breath and take pills on the spot."
While speaking, he swept his gaze to Nanxun, looking for the woman in the moonlight dress who was surrounded by other disciples.
She is only a Golden Core, but she was selected as the leader in the second round. She has to undertake the task of protecting twenty people.
Xu Tu couldn't help but pay attention to her.
Soon, he heard the conversation between the woman's clear voice and her younger brothers and sisters.
"Second Senior Sister, we will join hands with Jinbamen to use the Burger Treasure array. Can we do it?"
Xu Tu: "?"
"Yes," replied the clear voice, "but it is still not very safe. After all, the monkeys will increase the difficulty according to our situation. In this way, Second Sister has thought about it and will make a few more armored battle robes for you."
Xu Tu was taken aback.
'Armor?'
He turned around and nodded. A refiner is too fragile.
Others may be able to resist the attack of the giant ape, but a refiner is not good at defense. Not to mention that she is only in Golden Core and has to stand in front of everyone as the first guardian in line.
It was too difficult.
If she refined a fourth-grade magic armor, the monkey also took out a fourth-grade weapon.
If she refined a fifth-grade armor, the monkey also took out a fifth-grade weapon.
This test is based on the guardian's superior defensive strength. Only if it exceeds the same level can it be passed.
He shook his head and sighed.
But soon, a strong aroma of spiritual tea drifted to his side.
He turned his head in doubt and saw this beautiful female cultivator handing out 'tea eggs' to the junior brothers and sisters around her...!?
Then everyone from Nanxun peeled off the eggshells.
Yu Dong tried it first. He took the tea egg and sucked the soup in his mouth.
Then he put it in his palm and rolled it. Immediately the eggshell was finely cracked into small pieces. Then he peeled from the middle and carefully peeled the shell in one whole piece.
He put the eggshell into spiritual water to wash it, and in an instant, there was a piece of treasure light glowing in his hand.
It is one full foot long and seems to be made of hundreds of small hard horns similar to dragon scales. It is a dragon-scale armor cloth that emits a faint copper-colored light!
A fourth-grade magic weapon glow fell on Yu Dong's hand.
Su Yu nodded.
'The theory of magical use of eggshells, cough.'
"Second Senior Sister," Yu Dong's eyes lit up, "This is an armored robe? The fabric on the chest and back is decorated with armor pieces that are easy to move and have a lot of resistance. Wonderful."
He pressed it against himself as he spoke and compared it with his body.
But Su Yu's eyes jumped.
She looked at Yu Dong. "Your senior brother didn't come in. I forgot."
Yu Dong: ...
'Yes, Second Senior Sister can do everything, but not tailoring.'
It is only a large piece of dragon-scale cloth...
...
Outside the projection array.
Xiao Muge: "..."
'Is it too late to go in now?'
He raised his head and looked at his second junior sister, who wrapped the one-foot wide dragon scale armor around her as a cloak.
He looked down.
'Well, Second Junior Sister has worked very hard.'
He will also praise her if she loses today, so her heart won't get hurt.
But in the projection array, Su Yu was not afraid at all.
She boiled a large pot of hundreds of tea eggs.
Yu Dong is constantly calculating.
"First-grade... fourth-grade, superior fourth-grade."
He divided them into levels and distributed them to everyone.
Hang Wan'er nodded. "Well, I understand. It turns out that today is the lucky treasure defense formation."
Xu Tu: "?"
But as soon as Su Yu was ready, she got up, "Okay, let's go."
The ten people from Nanxun and the ten people from Jinbamen advance and retreat together.
'Let's fight together!'
Suddenly, twenty giant rock monkeys lined up and jumped out of the mountain.
Su Yu walked slowly to the center.
[Five attacks begin.]
[First strike! ]
Su Yu snapped her fingers.
Yan Yan immediately took control of his sword. Twenty of them flew in front of the crowd, instantly picking up several pieces of first-grade tea eggs.
"What's the use of first-grade armors?"
"The highest they have is a Nascent Soul cultivator. According to the female cultivator's guess, the monkey threw at least a fourth-grade magic weapon!"
The onlookers in front of the stone monument do not understand.
In an instant, the monkeys threw the fourth-rank flying sword.
"Yeah, just say the first-grade armor is useless!"
But when they were puzzled, they saw Su Yu and others pull out a tea egg and suck the soup.
Then de-shelling began on the spot.
In an instant, in front of the stunned crowd, four rays of light bloomed in everyone's hands.
'Fourth-grade defense armor!'
The fourth-grade monkeys' flying swords arrived in a flash, and they all met the fourth-grade armor. With a ding, the treasure light disappeared together.
[Second strike! ]
When the monkeys took out double amount of fourth-grade flying swords, everyone from Nanxun began to peel shells again, and the rays of light flashed in their hands.
With half of the fourth-grade armor and half of the fourth-grade superior armor, they immediately defeated the fourth-grade flying sword.
[Third strike! ]
The monkeys beat their chests in anger. Each took out fourth-grade superior attack magic weapons, and everyone in Nanxun began to de-shell again. Four rays of light fell.
The fourth-grade high-grade armor flew out one after another, collided with the fourth-grade high-grade flying sword in an instant, and they were all destroyed.
Su Yu was unharmed. The disciples behind her were also unharmed.
The onlookers in front of the projection array were dumbfounded.
"Their magic weapon... only at the last breath... the rank is determined."
"The monkeys predict the challenger's defense, but Nanxun's defense level is fake!"
"It thought it had judged clearly, but Nanxun took out a more powerful defensive magic weapon..."
Having predicted the opponent's prediction, Nan Xun was steady.
[Fourth strike! ]
Apparently, the apes were enraged.
They didn't care about Su Yu's state and patted their chests with both arms and took out fifth-grade flying swords—
Su Yu took a deep breath.
"Hamburger Defense Array, get up!"
Hang Wan'er moved immediately.
The disciples of Nanxun and Jinbamen lined up to a horizontal line in an instant, changing to a formation like in the game Eagle Catching Chicken.
One after another followed behind Su Yu.
In front of the projection stone, everyone was sluggish.
'What is this for?'
The five-rank flying swords of the monkeys came together in an instant and stabbed toward Su Yu, who was the leader.
But Su Yu closed her eyes on the spot. She sat down with her knees crossed and began to level up.
Yu Dong and the others behind her immediately took four or five tea eggs in their hands.
They peeled it off instantly, and 80 pieces of the fourth-grade and fourth-grade high-grade dragon scale armors layered on top of each other.
After that, Yu Dong, Hang Wan'er, Jin Haotian, ... each of them outputs spiritual energy, layer upon layer, snowball treasure, golden hairpin, golden snail ... all stacked up one after another.
In an instant, it flew forward. The fifth-grade long sword immediately penetrated through the eighty pieces of armor layer by layer, making a sharp sound like metal screeching.
A layer of armor shatters.
Everyone's Nascent Soul and Golden Core's spiritual aura shattered layer by layer.
Snowball Treasures and Golden Snails are behind them and only lose a silver glow.
Finally, there was only one ray of light left.
Yu Dong spat out the remaining eggshells in his mouth and sprayed them on the layer of defense.
Followed by Jin Haotian, Yan Yan...
"Puff puff puff..." They kept spitting out hard shells.
Pieces of hard egg shells condensed into dragon-scale pieces in the air, hitting the sword energy of the fifth-grade long sword in front of them.
The sound is continuous, and the glow of the dragon scale armor is continuous.
The third-grade, third-grade high-grade, fourth-grade, and fourth-grade high-grade scales and the broken armor finally dissipated the sword energy of the fifth-grade flying sword.
The disciples of Jiuyao Mountain were stunned and forgot to adjust their breath.
'Spitting armor... What kind of defense is this?'
"The Burger Treasure Array is finally here again."
Elder Zhang looked up at the projection stone and missed it very much.
"Old Mu, this is your Zhiqiong Peak's well-known defensive formation. What you've always wanted to see."
Taoist Mu: "..."
'Very good, Master just found out today.'
"Eldest disciple, did you know this?"
Xiao Muge: "..."
"Okay, I'm not the last one to know."
Taoist Mu are happy.
[Fifth hit...! ]

While they were discussing, the palace lord inside the small world of earth palace was obviously angry.
This time, the twenty giant apes took out the top-grade fifth-grade flying swords from their stomachs.
'Twenty!'
Xiao Muge stepped forward in a flash.
But in the projection array, Su Yu finally stood up and opened her bright, firm eyes.
"Let Second Senior Sister do it."
Su Yu successfully condense a Nascent Soul.
Her whole person seems to be reborn. Her skin seems to have condensed from ten thousand years of ice, and there is no trace of impurities. A spirit fire has tempered the light in her eyes.
She took out a large double-eared iron wok, and the fire ignited in a flash.
Several dozen tea eggs poured out.
Accompanied by a stream of spiritual water to cleanse, five twinkling dark golden lights are emitted in an instant!
Five-grade superior defense dragon scale armor!
In an instant, they collided with twenty fifth-grade superior flying swords.
After several loud noises, a golden light burst out from the sky.
In an instant, the twenty giant apes took a step back.
And disappears instantly.
[...all members passed.]
It took a long time for the giant mountain to condense these three characters.
Outside the gate's stone tablet, a line of small characters floats.
[It is both protection and trust. Twenty people are indispensable. Advancing and retreating together, and growing together... Nanxun's Su Yu adds ten points.]
Everyone was shocked.
Bonus points for the first disciple.
[Jiuyao Mountain's Xu Tu added three points. He guarded everyone and did not retreat at all. But unfortunately, his dexterity was insufficient, and nearly half of the people were damaged.]
Before everyone could react, they heard the beautiful sound in the projection array.
"Take a break. Let's all have snacks. Divide the rest of the Dahongpao Armor Egg."
Su Yu greeted her brothers and sisters in the projection array to enjoy the fragrant tea eggs.
The Elder of Jiuyao Mountain had learned the lesson this time.
He was one step ahead of Hang Wan'er to say, "It's time to hold the magic weapon farewell ceremony."
Everyone: "..."
'Skilled!'
Chapter 72 - Giant Stone Monkeys vs Nanxun with Tea Eggs'What is a Magic Weapon Memorial Service?'Outside the projection array, everyone looked at everyone from Nanxun.Qing Xuan coughed lightly.And the Nanxun disciples who did not enter the battle behind him, except for Xiao Muge, whose expression was hidden by the hat, the rest of the disciples showed grief but moved forward.All the disciples and elders of the Western Region were stunned by the mourning appearance."Is Nanxun seriously ill?"if you are reading this on a site other than puretl.com then this chapter has been stolen"They won first place in the cultivation event in the north, surpassing Tiansheng Sect. So I never understood why their elites would be dissatisfied and leave. Now I understand... This sect is sick."Who would be so idle to commemorate their magic weapon?Other than their natal magic weapon, a cultivator has a long life. Who knows how many magic weapons they have to replace during their lifetime?"You're hypocritical, Qing Xuan."The elder of Jiuyao Mountain said this while sitting cross-legged on a hill.If they looked carefully, both of his legs seemed to be integrated with the mountain. As he spoke, he rubbed the bumps on his body, and a layer of soil bumps fell off his skin."He Tong, that's the name of your head, isn't it? What a waste of cultivation time! If my disciple did this, I would bury them!"Qing Xuan did not answer, but Elder Zhang sighed."Old Sha, then you must take good care of your Jiuyao Mountain disciples." Elder Zhang shook his head.The elder of Jiuyao Mountain was stunned.'What does it mean?''His disciples are not so stupid.'Just as he was about to refute, he saw the Elder of Jinbamen also looking at him sympathetically."?""Facts speak louder than words. I won't argue with you. Let's keep watching!"Elder Gang Sha hummed at the projection array but was stunned after a while.He saw Su Yu in the projection array heating dozens of pitch-black stone pots to boiling hot.Then while holding a large soup pot, she poured a bowl of soup stock into the dozens of stone pots. A layer of golden light shines on the surface, but the pots are not boiling.The hot oil completely locked all the heat under the soup.Hang Wan'er was cleaning up the ropeways that had lost their silver radiance. She picked them up one by one, washing them with spiritual water, and dividing them into empty white porcelain bowls.The damaged snowballs were placed in another small dish. Yan Yan cut all of them in half, half for each person.Su Yu took out some frozen ice fish and ice duck from her storage bag... and cut some fish fillets, duck breasts, chicken pieces, and other ingredients.She also cut a little of the extra bean curd and tofu skin.She divided them neatly into categories and placed each of them in small dishes the size of a palm.There are nine types of side dishes on small plates.A sigh flashed across Su Yu's face. "Time is tight. That's all for now."There were twenty trays in total. Each contained a hot stone pot, a plate of rice noodles, and nine plates of side dishes.Just like the ice fish fillet and ice duck breast, each ingredient was cut so thin that after three or four pieces were stacked together, the color of the white porcelain plate below can also be revealed.'These are obviously not cooked.'The people inside and outside the projection array were speechless.This is like a large-scale sacrifice, using so many three or fourth-rank monsters.Nanxun is doing something strange.However, the Jinbamen and Nanxun disciples inside, totaling 20 people, think that it is very interesting.Hang Wan'er suppressed her curiosity and led everyone to recite it seriously."In today's battle, we haven't mastered the ability to move mountains, so we are not as good as a disciple of Jiuyao Mountain."The disciples of Jiuyao Mountain, who had just finished panting and completed their path construction, were startled.Even the chief, Xu Tu, blushed and couldn't help slowing down his movement.He pricked up his ears.'Nanxun is praising us.''Nanxun is really humble.'But Hang Wan'er didn't look at him and seriously took everyone in Nanxun to repent."Our Nanxun's Nascent Soul disciples are not strong enough to take Golden Core disciples over the cliff. We can only rely on the magic weapon of Second Senior Sister.""Today, this magic weapon of ropeway snowball train was damaged because we are not strong enough."Jin Haotian and the disciples of Jinbamen lowered their heads."We, Jinbamen, are incompetent."They also blushed.The footsteps of the disciples of Jiuyao Mountain stopped one after another.Xu Tu couldn't help but feel awe.Cultivators who know how to reflect on themselves tend to gain faster.Nanxun's magic treasure mourning also has come to an end."Today's magic weapon is damaged," Hang Wan'er took a deep breath and said sadly, "we will send it the last ride with repentance and eat it."Jiuyao Mountain: ...Outside the projection array: ...Seeing that Hang Wan'er had finished speaking, Yan Yan had already drawn out his flying swords. Every two swords carry a full tray and send them to each disciple smoothly.Everyone can see clearly. There are nine dishes and one stone pot on the tray.There are also two plates containing the damaged silver cable magic weapon and magic snowball that lost had lost their luster.Hang Wan'er looked at Su Yu with awe. "Second Senior Sister, let's start."Su Yu nodded.Hang Wan'er took a pair of silver chopsticks and put the clear fish fillets, duck breasts, etc., which were so thin that they could see through it, into the hot stone pot one by one.The broth in the stone pot is covered with a layer of golden oil. When the fish fillet rolls in, it seems to break the tranquility of the soup, and it ripples like flowers falling into a lake.In an instant, the scalding heat and fragrant aroma contained inside burst out domineeringly from the ripples.The disciples of Jiuyao Mountain next to them, who should have taken a step forward first, couldn't move for some reason.And soon, Hang Wan'er neatly poured the side dishes on all nine small plates into the hot broth.In an instant, several elixir halos floated out.Nanxun and Jinbamen's disciples could not help but hold their breath.The Jiuyao Mountain disciples who stopped to watch were even more surprised.Nanxun's funeral ceremony of magical treasures is turning them into elixirs to send them away!Very thin slices of fish and meat, cooked in a stone pot that has reached the boiling point under hot oilThe basic seasoning has already been done in the rice noodle soup.The fish fillet in it can be eaten directly. It is delicious and tender.Su Yu motioned them to add rice noodles, then handed them the chili and vinegar bottle and let them arrange it according to their own taste.The crowd quickly got busy.Hang Wan'er like a light taste, so she eats it directly without chili or vinegar. She picks up a few sticks of crystal clear rice noodles, and with a slurp, the corners of her mouth are oily and shining like gold.She took another mouthful of white tender fish fillet, and a few elixir halos disappeared in her mouth in an instant."It's hot."Hang Wan'er couldn't help opening her mouth and let out a breath of heat.But soon, she closed her eyes."Mellow and delicious. Like lava, the heat is not visible on the surface but is surprisingly hot on the inside. This magic silver noodle is soft and smooth when you put it in your mouth. In a blink of an eye, the whole thing went into my mouth..."There was a hint of satisfaction on her little face.But soon, she sighed solemnly. "Go well, the ropeway snowball train."As she opened her eyes, she lowered her head and sucked up the remaining noodles, not afraid of being hot.Suddenly, Nanxun disciples and Jinbamen disciples were sweating profusely.The disciples of Jiuyao Mountain, who were watching next to them, couldn't help swallowing.They don't know why.It seems delicious.A junior sister in a brown dress beside Xu Tu could not help but walk in front of Hang Wan'er. Her eyes twinkled when she said, "This magic weapon can be turned into food when it is damaged? Do you have any extra damaged magic weapons? Can you give some to me? I'll have a... half portion."Hang Wan'er sucked up the last piece of noodle in the bowl in awe and pulled the remaining tofu skin into her mouth with silver chopsticks."No."Jiuyao Mountain disciples: ..."This is a magic weapon refined by my Second Senior Sister, and it can only be sent to the road by its user."After Hang Wan'er refused, she drank the hot soup with oily beads in small sips.Su Yu boiled the soup with chicken and duck, but she also added ham to enhance the flavor and freshness. The taste is rich and fragrant.The tongue and taste buds dance with every bite.Once rolled into the throat, their Dantian and sea of consciousness resonate.After drinking the soup, Hang Wan'er's face was red with heat. There were crystal beads of sweat on the tip of her nose."The damaged magic weapon contains a profound truth. Only the user can understand it."The Jiuyao Mountain disciples looked complicated.'Is this bullshit?'Yu Dong stood up with a smile. "Brothers and sisters in Jiuyao Mountain, do you want to purchase a set of ropeway snowball treasures? First-grade ones, even Golden Core cultivators can operate it. After rolling a distance of ten meters, it will be damaged.""..."The chief of Jiuyao Mountain, Xu Tu, immediately stopped his brothers and sisters who were about to move."Thanks for your kindness. We don't need it."First-grade magic weapons are used by Qi Refining cultivators at most. They are all in Golden Cores and Nascent Souls, so it is not useful at all.Although core disciples have more spiritual stone savings than ordinary disciples, it does not come from the wind."We will go first, Nanxun.""Hey, it's a pity. They can't understand the true meaning of Second Senior Sister.""Forget it."Jiuyao Mountain's Xu Tu stifled, but he did not look back.They trotted down a mountain.After they left, Hang Wan'er opened her eyes to look at Nanxun and Jinbamen.Everyone stood up and recited in unison."Others are knives, and I am a fish. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Thank you, Sister Su, for your teaching.""...Thank you, Master Su of Nanxun, for your teaching."After everyone finished speaking, they energetically followed the pace of Jiuyao Mountain disciples.They didn't consume much spiritual aura.Just after entering the Five Elements Earth Palace, some gold and fire element disciples felt a little down. However, now they are full of enthusiasm and passion, and their vitality has reached its peak.In the beginning, Jin Haotian and the others wanted to give up the Five Elements Earth Palace.But now, they have been pushed forward by this special magic weapon memorial ceremony.Jinbamen and Nanxun are full of energy!...There is silence outside the projection array.Nanxun...plus one point. A line of small characters appeared on the stone tablet at the gate of the Five Elements Earth Palace.Two points for Nanxun.Jiuyao Mountain is one point.The onlookers were stunned.'They didn't do much but got points.'Taoist Mu pondered. "It seems that the Earth Palace does not completely test the disciples' cultivation, but also depends on the disciples' attitude and potential."The elder of Jiuyao Mountain looked at him complicatedly for a while. "I take back what I just said. Nanxun's ceremony... is not bad."The elders of the West Territory have also changed the way they looked at Qing Xuan and others.The level of cultivation and the mastery of techniques are only temporary.If the Dao mind is firm and the mind is transparent, there will be great wisdom. Then, given time, they will definitely break their mortality.When Five Elements Palace is looking for a successor, they also value future qualifications.The elders all understood.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl.com then this chapter has been stolenUnfortunately, none of them could transmit sound to their disciples already inside the formation.If they fail this time, they must wait ten days before they can re-enter.At this moment, inside the five gates, each faction is fighting.For example, Tiansheng Sect's Mei Zhen'er in the Fire Palace has already entered the second volcano."Miss Mei Zhen'er is walking with the Young Sect Master of the Leiyun Sect this year. The two factions join forces. They will definitely take down the Fire Palace.""Hey, Young Master Lei has loved her for many years. This time he specially escorted her to attack the Fire Palace first. The goal of the Leiyun Sect is actually the Five Elements Water Palace or the Five Elements Metal Palace."As soon as they finished speaking, they saw Mei Zhen'er in the projection stone, almost being knocked down by Senior Sister Qianxi from Shuilingmen. However, soon she fell into the arms of Young Master Lei and was hugged by him.The eyes of the two of them were full of love.Shuilingmen's eldest sister, Shui Qianxi, couldn't break the joint effort of the two of them.The onlookers watched excitedly."It seems that the victory of the Fire Palace has been decided."...In the Five Elements Earth Palace, Su Yu has reached the second mountain.On the majestic mountain in front of her, there is a deep imprint of the word "defense.""Earth Palace's test is defense. Fortunately, we are well prepared."The Yunruo Gate's Nascent Soul disciple arrived one step earlier and had a happy face.He still didn't know that his sect had been deducted one point. He confidently took out a defensive magic weapon from his storage bag - a fifth-grade bronze bell with a bluish patina pattern.The fifth-grade magic weapon can at least resist a full blow of Nascent Soul's peak. If facing an ordinary Nascent Soul, it can resist at least a stick of incense time.Su Yu admired the calm and atmospheric texture of this bronze bell, the smooth and ancient lines, and the carvings of the dragons and inscriptions on it.To be a good cook also requires observing life around you.Various lines of art can often inspire beauty in the plate.Not only Yunruo Gate, but several disciples of other sects also took out their own defensive magic weapons.In an instant, there was a loud bang. The second mountain in front of them shook!"Second Senior Sister, be careful!"Everyone swayed and stood unsteadily.Hang Wan'er threw her Five Immortal Rope to the boulder next to her. Only then she barely stabilized herself and support Su Yu.But when she turned her head, she saw that Su Yu had inserted a rolling pin into the ground. She is as stable as using a crutch.Hang Wan'er admires her.The rest of the people also threw their swords and halberds into the ground. Their faces are solemn."This mountain is very strange. Everyone pay attention." Jin Haotian usually escapes easily, but now he feels a bad premonition.They looked around cautiously but found that the disciples of Jiuyao Mountain were gone.When looking around again, they saw that Xu Tu and others were deeply rooted in the soil, with both feet inserted into the ground. They were gradually buried and became shorter by half.The higher their cultivation base, the deeper they could bury themselves.Even when the earth is shaking, they are not afraid.This is an earth-based exercise, Half-Cut Into the Earth. They are one with mountains and rivers.It's really... such a powerful technique.Su Yu glanced at them and was worried that Elder Hong Yun, who was watching the projection, would be unconscious at the moment.They must be resolved quickly.Otherwise, she might have to go out and start a rescue party for Elder Hong Yun, who is obsessed with cleanliness.While she was thinking, there was a loud bang, and several boulders and dust rolled down from the top of the mountain.The landslide started, and several ferocious apes behind the giant boulders jumped from the top of the mountain. They tapped their arms on the chest and let out a sharp roar.A line of small words appeared on the stone wall in the mountain.Chen Wei from Yunruo Gate in the late Nascent Soul stage. The peak of Nascent Soul, from Jiuyao Mountain, Xu TuFrom Nanxun, a Golden Core???, Su YuEveryone looked at Su Yu in surprise.'Unknown cultivation base?''Even the Earth Palace Lord couldn't see it? Or because the Golden Core was too weak, so the Earth Palace Lord expressed a sense of helplessness.'Assessment on this mountain: You three lead your respective teams to defend against ape attacks.If the team loses half of the people, you will be eliminated immediately.Everyone took a deep breath.The chief of Yunruo Gate, Chen Wei, held a fifth-rank bronze bell and looked at the disciples of the other sects behind him with an ugly face."We don't know each other. How can we cooperate?"Xu Tu has the disciples of Jiuyao Mountain, while Su Yu has the Nanxun disciples.Jinbamen's Jin Haotian cheekily followed her all the way. So Jinbamen was also considered by the palace lord to belong to Su Yu's team.But in any case, they have a familiar tacit understanding.Yunruo Gate is the most unlucky.But outside the projection array, the elders and disciples of the various factions were silent for a while.For earth-based exercises, the fourth to sixth levels are all focused on defense.When demons come to invade, the successor that the earth palace master is looking for is obviously a genius who can protect thousands of people.If a cultivator can only protect himself and a few of his junior brothers and sisters when disaster strikes, that is not a successor that the Five Elements Palace wants.For a long time, the elder of Yunruo Gate looked at his chief disciples, Chen Wei, in the projection array.With a sigh, he said, "We lost."Because of this narrow vision, Chen Wei had lost to Nanxun's Su Yu, who brought Jinbamen, before the battle."So, the assessment of this earth palace is to protect the others."The Jiuyao Mountain elder nodded."In the first cliff assessment, anyone who leaves first will be deducted points.""This second assessment is also to see who can protect the person behind them."Everyone nodded.Many disciples feel that their mood has improved.As soon as the elders of Jiuyao Mountain finished, the giant stone monkeys in the projection array let out a deafening scream.They all took out gold attacking magic weapons from their belly button.Flying swords, spears, vajra... all gleaming like jewels, overflowing with fourth and fifth-grade light.T/N: Vajra is a type of club used ritually in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VajraIn an instant, several attacking magic weapons rushed towards Chen Wei, the chief of Yunruo Gate, and the other nine people behind him.You need to withstand five attacks to pass.Chen Wei from Yunruo Gate: ...Before he could react, with a single blow, a fifth-rank flying sword in front of him smashed his fifth-rank bronze bell. The precious light dissipated, and it was instantly damaged.Dense flying swords flew past his forehead and stabbed the nine people behind him!"This level is too brutal..."Jin Haotian ate a lot of Su Yu's pills, and now he is at the late stage of Nascent Soul. He feels a lot of pressure.One protects the other nine.Chen Wei, the chief of Yunruo Gate, was beaten up!His fifth-grade magic weapon only blocked one attack, and it was gone.The nine other disciples from various sects behind him immediately hurriedly defended themselves. They threw out their defensive magic weapons and held their spiritual aura.But after a while, they all shattered.In an instant, the second attack of the Giant Stone Monkey arrives!They threw dozens of magic weapons again and again, but like torrential rain, the monkeys' attack fell on their heads."Ah!"The disciples, unable to support themselves behind Chen Wei, were pierced by the flying sword and flew out.Chen Wei, the chief of Yunruo Gate, is only in the late Nascent Soul. In the face of dozens of attacks, he reluctantly persevered.In an instant, the third attack came, and there was no one behind Chen Wei.Ten people collapsed!Failed.Hang Wan'er instantly felt the despair, fear, and unwillingness of Chen Wei and others.But now they feel lucky. They escaped under the attack of several fourth and fifth-grade magic weapons, but they were only injured, not dead. The subordinates of the palace master of the Five Elements Earth Palace showed mercy.Their state of mind fluctuated, from life to death to life. Hang Wan'er instantly felt the golden core in her body seem to be in a stage of great perfection in one breath."Second Senior Sister." Hang Wan'er Nascent Soul was about to condense, and she was especially keen at this moment. "I am afraid that this level will change the difficulty according to the strength of the challenger.""As soon as Yunruo Gate's Chen Wei took out the fifth-grade bronze bell, the monkeys threw a fifth-grade flying sword. When the bronze bell was damaged, the monkey threw fourth-grade flying swords at them..."A fourth-grade attack corresponds to the strength of the ordinary Nascent Soul, which is in line with Chen Wei's own strength.In other words, the assessment would have been easier if he hadn't taken out the fifth-grade bronze bell.Those monkeys are really intelligent examiners.Su Yu understood.Xu Tu, who was buried in the soil, had a solemn face. He watched the Yunruo Gate disciple, and others were sent out by the formation instantly.He took a step forward and bowed to Su Yu. "Then I'll take a step first."After saying that, he slowly floated up from the soft soil like it was melted by water.He didn't care at all when he was disheveled. He got up and walked to the other Jiuyao Mountain disciples.He was like a hill. He immediately formed a formation with his other nine brothers and sisters.Ten people work together.Suddenly, using the movement of Foolish Man Moving Mountains, the soil of mountains and rivers from all directions flew one after another to them.They took a step toward the ten apes with thick dust on their bodies.When they walked toward the apes, they formed a moving earth tower about two feet high!Start. The giant stone monkeys screamed again and took out the golden attacking magic weapon from their belly button.Fourth-grade flying sword.But the ten people in Jiuyao Mountain are like one at this moment."Go!"Xu Tu let out a roar.The other nine disciples' bodies are connected to the soil. The tower composed of ten people is like a mountain, and it is hard to resist the encirclement of flying swords.Every time the ape attack landed, it fell on the person in the front first.The front wall of the tower was broken three inches in an instant.After resisting the three attacks, Xu Tu was sweating profusely.On the left and right sides of the tower, the walls collapsed. Four Jiuyao Mountain's Golden Core disciples had disintegrated.When the fifth attack flew, Xu Tu spits out a mouthful of blood. The soil armor on his body suddenly cracked.When he was about to fall, he was forcibly supported by the two disciples behind him. He barely stood in front of them while trembling.Small words suddenly appeared in the second mountain in front of them.Six people remain. Jiuyao Mountain's Xu Tu passed the defense. if you are reading this on a site other than puretl.com then this chapter has been stolenA mountain road showed up.Xu Tu looked solemn.The second level had already forced him to do his best.He looked at the junior brothers and sisters around him. "Regulate your breath and take pills on the spot."While speaking, he swept his gaze to Nanxun, looking for the woman in the moonlight dress who was surrounded by other disciples.She is only a Golden Core, but she was selected as the leader in the second round. She has to undertake the task of protecting twenty people.Xu Tu couldn't help but pay attention to her.Soon, he heard the conversation between the woman's clear voice and her younger brothers and sisters."Second Senior Sister, we will join hands with Jinbamen to use the Burger Treasure array. Can we do it?"Xu Tu: "?""Yes," replied the clear voice, "but it is still not very safe. After all, the monkeys will increase the difficulty according to our situation. In this way, Second Sister has thought about it and will make a few more armored battle robes for you."Xu Tu was taken aback.'Armor?'He turned around and nodded. A refiner is too fragile.Others may be able to resist the attack of the giant ape, but a refiner is not good at defense. Not to mention that she is only in Golden Core and has to stand in front of everyone as the first guardian in line.It was too difficult.If she refined a fourth-grade magic armor, the monkey also took out a fourth-grade weapon.If she refined a fifth-grade armor, the monkey also took out a fifth-grade weapon.This test is based on the guardian's superior defensive strength. Only if it exceeds the same level can it be passed.He shook his head and sighed.But soon, a strong aroma of spiritual tea drifted to his side.He turned his head in doubt and saw this beautiful female cultivator handing out 'tea eggs' to the junior brothers and sisters around her...!?Then everyone from Nanxun peeled off the eggshells.Yu Dong tried it first. He took the tea egg and sucked the soup in his mouth.Then he put it in his palm and rolled it. Immediately the eggshell was finely cracked into small pieces. Then he peeled from the middle and carefully peeled the shell in one whole piece.He put the eggshell into spiritual water to wash it, and in an instant, there was a piece of treasure light glowing in his hand.It is one full foot long and seems to be made of hundreds of small hard horns similar to dragon scales. It is a dragon-scale armor cloth that emits a faint copper-colored light!A fourth-grade magic weapon glow fell on Yu Dong's hand.Su Yu nodded.'The theory of magical use of eggshells, cough.'"Second Senior Sister," Yu Dong's eyes lit up, "This is an armored robe? The fabric on the chest and back is decorated with armor pieces that are easy to move and have a lot of resistance. Wonderful."He pressed it against himself as he spoke and compared it with his body.But Su Yu's eyes jumped.She looked at Yu Dong. "Your senior brother didn't come in. I forgot."Yu Dong: ...'Yes, Second Senior Sister can do everything, but not tailoring.'It is only a large piece of dragon-scale cloth......Outside the projection array.Xiao Muge: "..."'Is it too late to go in now?'He raised his head and looked at his second junior sister, who wrapped the one-foot wide dragon scale armor around her as a cloak.He looked down.'Well, Second Junior Sister has worked very hard.'He will also praise her if she loses today, so her heart won't get hurt.But in the projection array, Su Yu was not afraid at all.She boiled a large pot of hundreds of tea eggs.Yu Dong is constantly calculating."First-grade... fourth-grade, superior fourth-grade."He divided them into levels and distributed them to everyone.Hang Wan'er nodded. "Well, I understand. It turns out that today is the lucky treasure defense formation."Xu Tu: "?"But as soon as Su Yu was ready, she got up, "Okay, let's go."The ten people from Nanxun and the ten people from Jinbamen advance and retreat together.'Let's fight together!'Suddenly, twenty giant rock monkeys lined up and jumped out of the mountain.Su Yu walked slowly to the center.Five attacks begin.First strike! Su Yu snapped her fingers.Yan Yan immediately took control of his sword. Twenty of them flew in front of the crowd, instantly picking up several pieces of first-grade tea eggs."What's the use of first-grade armors?""The highest they have is a Nascent Soul cultivator. According to the female cultivator's guess, the monkey threw at least a fourth-grade magic weapon!"The onlookers in front of the stone monument do not understand.In an instant, the monkeys threw the fourth-rank flying sword."Yeah, just say the first-grade armor is useless!"But when they were puzzled, they saw Su Yu and others pull out a tea egg and suck the soup.Then de-shelling began on the spot.In an instant, in front of the stunned crowd, four rays of light bloomed in everyone's hands.'Fourth-grade defense armor!'The fourth-grade monkeys' flying swords arrived in a flash, and they all met the fourth-grade armor. With a ding, the treasure light disappeared together.Second strike! When the monkeys took out double amount of fourth-grade flying swords, everyone from Nanxun began to peel shells again, and the rays of light flashed in their hands.With half of the fourth-grade armor and half of the fourth-grade superior armor, they immediately defeated the fourth-grade flying sword.Third strike! The monkeys beat their chests in anger. Each took out fourth-grade superior attack magic weapons, and everyone in Nanxun began to de-shell again. Four rays of light fell.The fourth-grade high-grade armor flew out one after another, collided with the fourth-grade high-grade flying sword in an instant, and they were all destroyed.Su Yu was unharmed. The disciples behind her were also unharmed.The onlookers in front of the projection array were dumbfounded."Their magic weapon... only at the last breath... the rank is determined.""The monkeys predict the challenger's defense, but Nanxun's defense level is fake!""It thought it had judged clearly, but Nanxun took out a more powerful defensive magic weapon..."Having predicted the opponent's prediction, Nan Xun was steady.Fourth strike! Apparently, the apes were enraged.They didn't care about Su Yu's state and patted their chests with both arms and took out fifth-grade flying swordsSu Yu took a deep breath."Hamburger Defense Array, get up!"Hang Wan'er moved immediately.The disciples of Nanxun and Jinbamen lined up to a horizontal line in an instant, changing to a formation like in the game Eagle Catching Chicken.One after another followed behind Su Yu.In front of the projection stone, everyone was sluggish.'What is this for?'The five-rank flying swords of the monkeys came together in an instant and stabbed toward Su Yu, who was the leader.But Su Yu closed her eyes on the spot. She sat down with her knees crossed and began to level up.Yu Dong and the others behind her immediately took four or five tea eggs in their hands.They peeled it off instantly, and 80 pieces of the fourth-grade and fourth-grade high-grade dragon scale armors layered on top of each other.After that, Yu Dong, Hang Wan'er, Jin Haotian, ... each of them outputs spiritual energy, layer upon layer, snowball treasure, golden hairpin, golden snail ... all stacked up one after another.In an instant, it flew forward. The fifth-grade long sword immediately penetrated through the eighty pieces of armor layer by layer, making a sharp sound like metal screeching.A layer of armor shatters.Everyone's Nascent Soul and Golden Core's spiritual aura shattered layer by layer.Snowball Treasures and Golden Snails are behind them and only lose a silver glow.Finally, there was only one ray of light left.Yu Dong spat out the remaining eggshells in his mouth and sprayed them on the layer of defense.Followed by Jin Haotian, Yan Yan..."Puff puff puff..." They kept spitting out hard shells.Pieces of hard egg shells condensed into dragon-scale pieces in the air, hitting the sword energy of the fifth-grade long sword in front of them.The sound is continuous, and the glow of the dragon scale armor is continuous.The third-grade, third-grade high-grade, fourth-grade, and fourth-grade high-grade scales and the broken armor finally dissipated the sword energy of the fifth-grade flying sword.The disciples of Jiuyao Mountain were stunned and forgot to adjust their breath.'Spitting armor... What kind of defense is this?'"The Burger Treasure Array is finally here again."Elder Zhang looked up at the projection stone and missed it very much."Old Mu, this is your Zhiqiong Peak's well-known defensive formation. What you've always wanted to see."Taoist Mu: "..."'Very good, Master just found out today.'"Eldest disciple, did you know this?"Xiao Muge: "...""Okay, I'm not the last one to know."Taoist Mu are happy.Fifth hit...! if you are reading this on a site other than puretl.com then this chapter has been stolenWhile they were discussing, the palace lord inside the small world of earth palace was obviously angry.This time, the twenty giant apes took out the top-grade fifth-grade flying swords from their stomachs.'Twenty!'Xiao Muge stepped forward in a flash.But in the projection array, Su Yu finally stood up and opened her bright, firm eyes."Let Second Senior Sister do it."Su Yu successfully condense a Nascent Soul.Her whole person seems to be reborn. Her skin seems to have condensed from ten thousand years of ice, and there is no trace of impurities. A spirit fire has tempered the light in her eyes.She took out a large double-eared iron wok, and the fire ignited in a flash.Several dozen tea eggs poured out.Accompanied by a stream of spiritual water to cleanse, five twinkling dark golden lights are emitted in an instant!Five-grade superior defense dragon scale armor!In an instant, they collided with twenty fifth-grade superior flying swords.After several loud noises, a golden light burst out from the sky.In an instant, the twenty giant apes took a step back.And disappears instantly....all members passed.It took a long time for the giant mountain to condense these three characters.Outside the gate's stone tablet, a line of small characters floats.It is both protection and trust.

Nanxun's Su Yu adds ten points.Everyone was shocked.Bonus points for the first disciple.Jiuyao Mountain's Xu Tu added three points. He guarded everyone and did not retreat at all. But unfortunately, his dexterity was insufficient, and nearly half of the people were damaged.Before everyone could react, they heard the beautiful sound in the projection array."Take a break. Let's all have snacks. Divide the rest of the Dahongpao Armor Egg."Su Yu greeted her brothers and sisters in the projection array to enjoy the fragrant tea eggs.The Elder of Jiuyao Mountain had learned the lesson this time.He was one step ahead of Hang Wan'er to say, "It's time to hold the magic weapon farewell ceremony."Everyone: "..."'Skilled!'
