Pushing open the door of the room on the fifth floor, Yan Liqiang looked around carefully and found that the room on the fifth floor was almost the most empty and clean. There were no spiritual energy array talismans, no people, and nothing that was an eyesore in the entire room. There was only a table in the room, and on it was an iron box and a piece of paper.
Yan Liqiang calmed himself down, walked to the table and looked at the piece of paper on it.
The paper was densely covered with words.
—Those who can come to the fifth floor are all the best among the disciples of the Sword God Sect, and they are rare talents. In the iron box next to them, there is a book called "The Great Sun Tiangang Sword Technique". This sword technique is extremely powerful. It is the secret skill of the Tiangang Peak lineage of the Sword God Sect. Over the past 500 years, most of those who have the opportunity to learn this sword technique have eventually entered the Tiangang Peak and become the elders of the Tiangang Peak lineage. In addition to the "Great Sun Tiangang Sword Technique", there are also silver notes worth 300,000 taels of silver in the iron box. If you stop here and no longer go to the sixth floor, this sword technique and the silver notes will belong to you. You can also take the silver notes out of the sword cave and use them freely. No one in the Sword God Sect can interfere.
Three hundred thousand taels of silver notes is a huge sum of money. Seeing the words on the paper, Yan Liqiang couldn't help but have a pounding heart. He licked his lips. With three hundred thousand taels of silver notes, and the unique skills of the Tiangang Peak, there is a 50% chance that he can become an elder of the Tiangang Peak in the future. As long as he is willing, he can immediately become the winner of the Sword God Sect. Who can resist such temptation
But the words on the paper were not finished yet. Yan Liqiang calmed himself down and continued reading.
-If you give up the reward on the fifth floor and go to the sixth floor, you will find that there are no secret books and no monetary rewards on the sixth floor. There is only one level. The level on the sixth floor is so difficult that among the one hundred disciples of the Sword God Sect who can reach the sixth floor, not even one can pass it. If you cannot pass the level on the sixth floor, you will no longer be able to choose the secret books and banknotes on the fifth floor, and you will leave the Sword Cave with nothing.
—This choice concerns your future in the Sword God Sect, please consider it carefully!
After reading the words on the paper, Yan Liqiang finally understood what the fifth floor level was about. It must be said that this level was too cruel. On one side were the secret books and huge sums of money. If one left here with the rewards from the fifth floor, he would immediately become a winner in life in the eyes of most people, free and respected, with beautiful women, fine wine, beautiful scenery and delicious food to enjoy at will. But if one gave up this option and chose another path to continue climbing up, there was a 99% chance that he would fail, and then become penniless, falling from heaven to hell, becoming a loser in the eyes of others after entering the sword cave, and starting all over again.
Such a choice is already a question of a person's outlook on life, values and life beliefs.
In such a situation where the outcome of a choice can make a world of difference in a single thought, everyone must face their own heart; there is no escape and no chance of luck.
How many people would back down in the face of such a level, choosing the rich rewards on the fifth floor instead of daring to go upstairs to challenge the unknown fate
Yan Liqiang admitted that for a moment, he was shaken in his heart and couldn't help but want to give up, take the secret book and the huge amount of silver bills and leave this mysterious crystal tower, and then become the disciple of his sect master in a dignified manner.
But suddenly, the words of the old man downstairs echoed in Yan Liqiang's mind.
What is on the top floor of this crystal tower? What is more precious than the three hundred thousand taels of silver and the Great Sun Heavenly Sword Technique that can make a person rich instantly? One has to go through many tests to be qualified to obtain it...
I have no shortage of money. If I liked money, I would not have embarked on the path of cultivation in this life. I would have gone directly into business and commerce. With my own abilities and knowledge, I cannot say that I will become as rich as a country in the future, but I can easily become wealthy enough to achieve dozens of small goals.
The Great Sun Heavenly Sword Technique may be very powerful, or very precious, but, so what...
Slowly, Yan Liqiang's eyes became firm and his heart was no longer shaken. He just stayed in the room quietly for a moment, then he walked to the stairs to the sixth floor and pushed open the crystal door to go up.
—Those who are not tempted by money, fame or gain can go to the sixth floor.
When the door was opened, a sentence could still be seen behind it. At the same time as the door was opened, the iron table in the room on the fifth floor sank silently into the ground - once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back.
With a solemn mood, as if he was stepping into the arena, Yan Liqiang went up the stairs to the sixth floor of the pagoda. After standing in front of the crystal door on the sixth floor for a long time, he took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and stepped in.
The crystal door behind him closed when Yan Liqiang came in.
After seeing the layout and things inside the huge space on the sixth floor, Yan Liqiang couldn't help but take a breath.
The huge space was like a museum, but also like a very high-end jewelry showroom. The entire sixth floor was densely packed with 108 identical round tables, and on each table was displayed an identical exotic beast core crystal of the same size, emitting the same faint red light.
In the middle of the 108 round tables was the familiar iron table, and on it was still a piece of paper.
Yan Liqiang first walked to the side of the iron table and looked at the paper on the table.
—There are 108 exotic beast core crystals on the 108 tables in this room. Among these 108 exotic beast core crystals, there is one that is different from the others. Find that different exotic beast core crystal and put it into the groove of this iron table. If your choice is correct, the passage to the seventh floor will open and you can go up to the seventh floor. If your choice is wrong, you will leave here. Remember, you only have one chance!
Sure enough, there were no rewards in this room.
After reading the words on the paper, Yan Liqiang began to check the exotic beast core crystals in the room one by one.
He first looked at all the exotic beast core crystals one by one and found that all of them were almost exactly the same in size, color, and appearance. Therefore, the exotic beast core crystal that was different from the other 107 exotic beast core crystals was not different in appearance, but in its internal characteristics.
After looking at the appearance, Yan Liqiang put the 108 exotic beast core crystals in his hands one by one and felt their weight. Judging from his keen perception, the weight of all the exotic beast core crystals was around 80 grams plus or minus 3 grams. There was no essential difference in feel and weight.
Then, Yan Liqiang used his third move, injecting his internal force into each of the exotic beast core crystals to sense the species from which those exotic beast core crystals came.
When the inner force was injected into the first alien beast core crystal, the red light of the alien beast core crystal suddenly became brighter. In the red light, there appeared the shadow of a swimming strange fish with red scales all over its body and a ferocious appearance, like an enlarged piranha.
Yan Liqiang put down the first beast core crystal and picked up the second one. The light and shadow that appeared with the second one was also that kind of red fish. The third one... and the fourth one were the same...
It was unknown how long it had passed before Yan Liqiang used his internal force to test all 108 exotic beast core crystals. The result left Yan Liqiang dumbfounded, because after the internal force was injected into the 108 exotic beast core crystals, the light and shadows that appeared were exactly the same, all of them were that kind of red strange fish.
At this moment, Yan Liqiang finally understood why among the one hundred disciples of the Sword God Sect who came here, not necessarily one could pass.
Damn it, all these beast core crystals are the same, so what is the difference
Since entering the Crystal Pagoda, Yan Liqiang has encountered a real dilemma for the first time, and this dilemma seems to have no solution at all...
After trying all the methods he could think of, he still couldn't find the unique beast core crystal. Looking at the identical beast core crystals displayed like treasures in the huge room, Yan Liqiang felt bitter in his mouth, as if he was looking for a needle in a haystack. He suddenly felt overwhelmed and had no idea where to start...
