On an extremely remote mountain peak in the Tianquan Mountains, Xiao Chen was covered with bruises and was hanging on a big tree in a very embarrassed state. He was holding a plant of Phantom Yin Grass in his hand and was kicking it gently.
The low-grade inner armor on the chest was in tatters and had completely lost its aura. There was a terrifying wound on the chest.
The bones are visible, the flesh and blood are blurred, and even the slightest breath can cause excruciating pain. It is conceivable that if it were not for the defense of this inner armor, this wound could directly cut him in half.
Putting the Phantom Yin Grass into the Qiankun Ring, Xiao Chen said with a tired expression: "The king-level Shadow Leopard should have stopped chasing me."
One day ago, he had just finished taking care of two high-grade Martial Kings, and was preparing to sweep away all the Phantom Yin Grass in the valley.
Unexpectedly, he had just finished picking ten phantom shade grasses, and when he was completely relaxed, he was suddenly attacked.
It was a king-level dazzling shadow leopard. He had lived for who knows how long and had eaten many phantom shades of grass, but he couldn't even sense it with his spiritual consciousness.
When he was about to pick the Phantom Yin Grass, the murderous aura he sensed was not from Qin Pengyu and the two of them, but from this king-level dazzling shadow leopard.
In fact, he should have thought of it a long time ago. With Qin Pengyu's level and a thousand meters away, how could his murderous aura still be so condensed.
The only fault he had was himself. He had too much trust in his divine consciousness. As a result, a king-level dazzling shadow leopard suddenly appeared, which his divine consciousness could not capture at all.
Then tragedy struck immediately. The King-level Shadow Leopard's first attack broke through Xiao Chen's inner armor, leaving a huge scar on his chest.
Its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and it was unable to sense the opponent's figure and direction. Xiao Chen was caught off guard and was injured repeatedly.
If it weren't for his body, which had been trained with heavenly-level techniques, he would have been torn to pieces by the king-level Shadow Leopard.
Xiao Chen used all his tricks, used all his trump cards, and escaped for a day. It was only then that he was completely out of danger.
Throwing away the discarded inner armor on his chest, Xiao Chen bandaged the wound, took a pill, and began to heal himself.
The lessons he learned from this experience made him never dare to be careless at all in the future.
Even if a safe place is determined by divine consciousness, one's own vigilance cannot be relaxed. The world is so big.
There is no guarantee that there are no warriors who have tools that can evade divine consciousness. If a warrior is forced to such a point, it will not be so easy to escape.
Half an hour later, Xiao Chen's injuries were almost healed, and he summoned a silver warship and began to fly rapidly towards Tianquan City.
Looking at the scorching sun above his head, Xiao Chen felt a little anxious. Today was the 17th and it was already noon.
I don’t know if I can still make it to Qingquan Inn. If I miss the opportunity, I will really lose a lot.
If he were absent from an adventure like this that most geniuses could participate in, he would probably be left behind for a long time.
Originally, there was a gap in cultivation, and it would probably be even more difficult to catch up.
Moreover, the Ancient Tower, according to the introduction by the warrior in green shirt that day, was a place that even the generation of geniuses like the Thunder Emperor must visit, and he really didn't want to miss it.
Driving at full speed, it took Xiao Chen half an hour to finally arrive at Tianquan City, and he rushed towards Qingquan Inn, covered in dust.
Everything in the store was as before, business was booming, and there were people eating, drinking, and chatting everywhere. It didn't look like anything important had happened.
Xiao Chen was a little confused, so he stopped a waiter in the shop, threw him an intermediate spirit stone, and asked: "Is there a woman named Xia Xiyan or a man named Jiang Zimo in the shop."
The waiter took the intermediate spirit stone and said with a smile: "You are here to inquire about the candidates for the Ancient Tower, but you are a step too late. The Heavenly Destruction Alliance has already taken these people to Longyang Island."
Xiao Chen felt a little disappointed and immediately asked, "Are Xia Xiyan and Jiang Zimo still there?"
"Of course we went together." The waiter continued: "But the Jiang Zimo you mentioned stood outside for a long time in the morning, forcing the Heavenly Destruction Alliance to delay it for an hour, which offended many other young leaders. ”
Xiao Chen walked out of Qingquan Inn and looked at the sky above his head, his face looking a little disappointed.
Jiang Zimo has already done what he can do, but unfortunately he is still a little unlucky and is destined to miss this ancient tower.
Xiao Chen smiled helplessly and said: "It seems that the Ancient Tower really doesn't welcome me. I just want to apply for an Ancient Pass. I didn't expect that a king-level Shadow Leopard would appear."
After gathering his mood, Xiao Chen walked over to the Alliance Destruction Branch. Since there was no chance, he should not continue to lose his mind.
Just because you can't enter the Ancient Tower doesn't mean you can't reach the pinnacle of martial arts, and your state of mind cannot be destroyed no matter what.
The number of people in the Heavenly Destruction Alliance was much less than when Xiao Chen came yesterday, which was a bit surprising.
The old man behind the counter on the second floor looked very surprised when he saw Xiao Chen's arrival. He took the Huanyin Grass from him and said with a smile: "Boy, you even escaped in front of the king-level Shadow Leopard. How powerful is it?" It’s really extraordinary.”
Xiao Chen's face changed and he said angrily: "You have known for a long time that there is a king-level Shadow Leopard. Why didn't you remind me? Do you know that you almost killed me?"
The old man spread his hands and said with an innocent smile: "Young man, don't get so angry. Have you ever asked me?"
Xiao Chen was extremely depressed. It was important to remind him of this life-threatening matter even if he didn't ask.
The old man was obviously cheating and nothing could be done to him. Xiao Chen was too lazy to pay attention and said: "Stop talking nonsense and give me the ancient pass!"
The old man in black robe laughed, took out a white token with his backhand and handed it to Xiao Chen, saying: "The tokens I just applied for are all level one, but although your mission is unpaid, the mission record is already on it. "
Xiao Chen took the token and looked at it. The white token had the words "Tian Mie Meng" written on the front, and Xiao Chen's own name was engraved on the back.
After the black-robed old man handed the ancient pass to Xiao Chen, he took out another inscription card and said: "This inscription card is my extra reward for you. After all, the task of the Phantom Yin Grass is really a headache. , you have helped solve a big problem."
"What?" Xiao Chen looked at the old man and asked in confusion.
The old man took the name card, tapped the table lightly, and said with a smile: "What is it? It's what you want now."
Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh. He looked at the old man with interest and said with a smile: "Interesting, do you know what I want now?"
The old man said casually: "The Ancient Tower."
Xiao Chen's expression couldn't help but change. Without thinking too much about how the old man knew, he pointed at Mingka and said, "Can this thing allow me to enter the Ancient Tower?"
The old man shook his head and said: "No, I just gave you a chance to compete fairly with others. Do you know why you didn't receive the invitation letter from the Heavenly Destruction Alliance?"
"Because your cultivation level is too low, white-robed swordsman Xiao Chen, your reputation is not small in Great Qin. The top leaders of the Heavenly Destruction Alliance have noticed you very early."
"But your cultivation level at that time was too low, and now you are only at the level of a low-grade Martial King. The threshold for the invitation letter is that you must reach a middle-grade Martial King."
"As for whether to give you an invitation, the Heavenly Destruction Alliance is divided into two factions and they have been arguing for a long time. You are very lucky and I happen to be the one who supports you."
Xiao Chen didn't expect that such a small invitation letter would contain so many secrets. "So, you didn't remind me of the mission of the Magic Yin Grass. Is it a test for me?"
The old man nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, to apply for this ancient pass, you only need to complete an ordinary task. No matter how you choose in the end, I will assign this task of Phantom Yin Grass to you."
"You did not disappoint me. You are definitely strong enough to escape from the hands of the king-level Shadow Leopard."
Xiao Chen's current mood has a feeling of gain and loss. He thought that the Ancient Tower was far away from him, but he didn't expect that he would now get a more reliable opportunity than Jiang Zimo.
He reached out and was about to take the Ming Card. The old man did not hand it over and said with a smile: "Don't blame me for not reminding you this time. When you took this Ming Card, you just got an opportunity, not a guarantee." Being able to enter the Tower of Ancient Times and encountering a test may very well kill you."
Xiao Chen took it over without hesitation and said firmly: "Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion. Please tell me in detail."
