Chapter 395: Ao Rong Sets a Trap

Lou Mu Yan and the others entered the Pagods of Enlightenment in turn. Among the twenty people, most chose the Array Pagoda, the Alchemy Pagods, and the Smithing Pagods, with the least being the Talisman Pagods, so she first entered the Talisman Pagods.

There was also Zi Che Shi who entered the Talisman Pagoda with her. As soon as they stepped into the gate of the Pagods, they were teleported to an independent space.

There was a yellow crystal wall in the space, the material unknown, and several round cushions were placed in front of the crystal wall.

Lou Mu Yan and Zi Che Shi glanced at each other with a smile, then each chose a round cushion to sit on cross-legged without speaking.

Neither of them were in a hurry to comprehend, but instead, quietly adjusted their states. When they were in their best state in their Sea of Consciousness, they began to use their Mental Energy to penetrate into the crystal wall.

As soon as Lou Mu Yan’s Mental Energy touched the crystal wall, an energy forcefully sucked her mind into it. She wasn’t nervous. She relaxed her body and began to accept it.

Immediately, her Mental Energy turned into a little person the size of a palm and appeared in a dark space, pick black without end.

She looked around calmly and indifferently, then heard a mechanical voice.

“Choose a direction and keep walking. Don’t miss the scenery along the way. When you reach the limit at the end, you will be sent out of the first floor.”

Lou Mu Yan closed her eyes, then when she opened them, she had a firm look in them. She didn’t think much about it and walked directly in the direction she faced when teleported in.

Walking aimlessly in the dark space, she discovered that she was like a mortal, having lost all her Spiritual Energy, and her Mental Energy couldn’t explore what was ahead either. She even felt that she was completely powerless.

This walk took her one day and one night. She didn’t stop. On the second day, a light screen suddenly appeared on the road ahead.

She stopped and watched quietly. The light screen ahead was an introduction to the basic knowledge of talismans, which was easy to understand and very detailed.

After she finished watching the first screen, she closed her eyes and quietly recalled the images that appeared on the screen earlier. After the spiritual experience, she continued to step forward.

Just like this, she continued to walk and continued to watch, as if having walked a year, two, ten years of time.

When a dazzling light suddenly appeared in front of her, Lou Mu Yan was teleported out of the crystal wall and fell into another independent space.

In a stone house beside the Pagods of Enlightenment, the Elders of the five Pagodas and Ao Rong drank wine while chatting and watching the small reflection projected from a crystal ball.

“Hm, someone entered the second floor already.” An Elder swept the image projection of the Talisman Pagoda and made a sound of confusion.

Others looked over and when Ao Rong saw that Lou Mu Yan was the first to comprehend to the second floor, he laughed loudly: “The person dug here by this old man sure is extraordinary. Maybe this little girl can comprehend to the seventh floor.”

“Just keep boasting, this little girl’s talent might not be bad, but it’s just indulging in a wild fantasy to think she can comprehend to the seventh floor.”

The Guardian Elder of the Talisman Pagoda rolled his eyes at him, “I think it’s already amazing if she can comprehend to the fifth floor.”

Elder Ao Rong pursed his lips, “Don’t underestimate this girl, you old thing, she shouldn’t be compared to ordinary people.”

“Which of the inner pupils who can enter the Pagodas of Enlightenment are ordinary? In the end, they all stopped below seventh floor.” The Elder of the Alchemy Pagoda said.

“Over so many years, apart from the one who comprehended to the seventh floor, the best result was that Di Shi Feng who comprehended to the sixth floor of the Array Pagoda the last time the Pagodas of Enlightenment were opened.” The Elder of the Array Pagoda said proudly.

Ao Rong raised an eyebrow and asked: “Di Shi Feng comprehended to the sixth floor, doesn’t that mean he’s already a Grade 6 Array Master?”

“It can only be said that he’s more likely to become a Grade 6 Array Master.” The Elder of the Array Pagoda paused, then continued: “The floors of each of the five Pagodas of Enlightenment only mean that the person may reach that achievement in the future and doesn’t represent that they already have that ability.

“Of course, there are also people who have comprehended to the fifth floor, but when they combine comprehension and opportunities, they can also enter a higher level; on the contrary, the pupils who can comprehend to the sixth floor might not necessarily become a Grade 6 Array Master.

“The higher the floor one comprehends, it means the better their talent. Generally, there’s a sixty percent chance of the person reaching the specialisation level corresponding to the Pagoda floor.”

The Elder of the Array Pagoda smiled mysteriously, “As far as this old one knows, Di Shi Feng1 only just advanced to Grade 6 Array Master, and he’s also a genius pupil, first of the Inner Sect to become a Grade 6 in a specialisation.”

The eyes of the several Elders revealed surprise and praise. Di Shi Feng was indeed a very good pupil in the Inner Sect. He was also the one who won second place in the Array Competition between the Six Major Sects last time.

Hearing the Elder of the Array Pagoda praise Di Shi Feng so highly, Ao Rong remembered Lou Mu Yan’s performance in her array talents.

“It’s undeniable that the talent of Di Shi Feng2 is indeed excelling, but Lou girl definitely isn’t outmatched. If you don’t believe it, just watch.” He had an inexplicable confidence in Lou Mu Yan.

“Come on, that little girl was dug over by you from the Tian’ling Continental Tournament for Hegemony, of course you’d say that.” The Elder of the Smithing Pagoda sneered.

“You don’t believe me?” Ao Rong asked with a snort and raised an eyebrow.

“Don’t believe.” The five Guardian Elders of the five Pagodas responded invariably.

“Then why don’t we make a bet?” Ao Rong suggested.

The Elder of the Talisman Pagoda looked at Lou Mu Yan who was still comprehending on the second floor and asked with a smile: “What kind of bet?”

“I’m betting that Lou Mu Yan will be able to comprehend to the sixth floor and above in the Alchemy Pagoda, Array Pagoda, and Talisman Pagoda.” Ao Rong appeared confident, “If I lose, I’ll give you a jug of high-level Blood Sac Wine. If you lose, give me the Pagoda Spirit’s Force you’ve accumulated over the past ten years.”

The several people exchanged a look with each other, then sneered: “You have Spiritual Wine brewed from Blood Sac? Keep boasting.”

“Fine, I’ll give you a taste first. If you don’t bet, then you’ll regret it later.” With a thought from Ao Rong, a pot of Blood Sac Wine appeared on the table.

The Elder of the Alchemy Pagoda took the lead in picking up the jug and pouring a cup. The red liquid in the cup was so transparent that there wasn’t a single bit of impurity in it at all, and a fragrant aroma of wine emanated from the cup.

He took a sip immediately and his eyes that had been a little cloudy lit up, “The sweetness is clear, the aftertaste is endless, and it has the effect of improving cultivation, good wine!”

When the other Elders saw him lift the jug to pour a second cup, they quickly grabbed the jug and poured a drink each. After they finished, they all cried: “Good wine! Good wine! This old one hasn’t tasted such quality Blood Sac Wine in so long.”

“Ao Rong, where did you get this Blood Sac Wine? Stream Reflection Restaurant?”

Ao Rong said disdainfully: “With just the skills of those stingy damned old things from the Stream Reflection Restaurant? Don’t ask where the wine comes from, just give one word, bet or not?”

The several Elders were all old alcoholics and they didn’t believe that Lou Mu Yan could comprehend to the sixth floor at all, so they immediately agreed, “Bet. Why won’t we bet. It seems that you have to go back and prepare some more jugs of Blood Sac Wines.”

There was a hint of slyness in Ao Rong’s eyes. This Blood Sac Wine was given to him by Lou girl last time. Even if he really lost the bet, he’d just go ask Lou girl for it.

But if he won the bet with these five old fellows and obtain the Pagoda Spirit’s Force from them, then gift it to Lou Mu Yan, he believed that with that as an exchange, he could obtain a lot of Spiritual Wine from that little girl.

He was also an alcoholic and just thinking about how he could obtain more Spiritual Wine from Lou Mu Yan, his entire person glowed with a strange brilliance.

“Good, straightforward, high-five for an agreement.”
