Fellow Daoist Entrusts His Child: Immortality Begins with Nurturing a Demoness

Chapter 88 How about giving him to me? (6800-word chapter)

The next day, the sun rose.

Luo Fanchen sat cross-legged, facing east, breathing in the Lesser Yang Qi. He spent the whole night refining the Soul Cleansing Crystal, and his mental state recovered to more than 70%.

"Mr. Luo, I have prepared a meal, and I hope it will suit your taste."

As the sandalwood incense burned out, Li Miaoyun appeared outside the door on time. After greeting everyone, she waited quietly behind the screen.

After returning from the black market, Li Miaoyun's attitude towards him became increasingly respectful, even somewhat ingratiating. From befriending him as an equal, she became one-sidedly submissive, no different from a protector.

Luo Fanchen quickly washed up and followed Li Miaoyun to the main hall, where a fresh and fragrant aroma immediately wafted towards him.

"The pavilion also has some second-tier low-grade beast meat, which can nourish blood and calm the mind. It might be able to alleviate the backlash from you, sir."

"You have a heart."

Luo Fanchen nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Li Miaoyun, whose fox-like eyes held a hint of spring and whose pretty face was slightly flushed. A warm feeling washed over him.

The processing of second-tier low-grade beast meat is complex, and it's clear that Li Miaoyun carefully prepared it overnight.

The meat soup was delicious, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth. A warm current flowed down the esophagus, transforming into pure blood energy that spread throughout the body. Luo Fanchen breathed out a comfortable breath of hot air, as if every inch of his flesh and blood had been activated.

The drowsiness in my brain vanished instantly, leaving me feeling refreshed and clear-headed.

"good."

"As long as adults like it."

Li Miaoyun rested her chin on her hand, her fox-like eyes filled with mist as she gazed tenderly at Luo Fanchen's profile, her pretty face gentle.

After Luo Fanchen had a hearty meal, Li Miaoyun personally cleaned up and accompanied him to the depths of the inner ring road.

The former site of the steward's quarters occupies a very high area. Outside, there are scattered cultivators gathered, making a constant noise. Inside, there are more than a hundred disciples from the four sects gathered. The area is so crowded that there is nowhere to step.

Fortunately, Li Miaoyun was a big figure in Feiyunfang, so she didn't need to reveal her cultivation level. The rogue cultivators along the way all lowered their heads and made way for her, partly out of inferiority and partly out of awe.

Along the way, the inner disciples of Qinghe and Xianshuiju sects, as well as the Foundation Establishment elders, who were familiar with her, all wanted to go up and chat with her when they saw her appear.

Li Miaoyun's mind was entirely on Luo Fanchen. After returning his polite smile with a touch of restraint, she led him directly into the deacon's room.

"Tsk, this rogue cultivator looks familiar."

"A guest of the Treasure Pavilion? Why is he treated with such courtesy by Fairy Miaoyun?"

The fervent and envious gazes of the rogue cultivators were fixed on Luo Fanchen, almost setting him ablaze.

Amidst the constant murmurs of surprise, Luo Fanchen remained calm on the surface, but inwardly he felt a pang of regret. He belatedly realized that the obedient and gentle Li Miaoyun before him was a genuine Foundation Establishment cultivator, capable of easily influencing the life and death of rogue cultivators.

Li Miaoyun is beautiful and highly skilled, a fairy whom many cultivators in Feiyunfang dare not even dream of touching.

Six months ago, he probably would have blended in with that group of rogue cultivators, too ashamed to even look her in the eye.

"Mr. Luo, please wait a moment. Sister Ruoxue will personally open the seventh floor in half an hour."

Li Miaoyun called out softly in a gentle voice. Luo Fanchen calmed himself down a bit, and the surrounding noise had already subsided.

The courtyard was quiet, with only a few people around him, all dressed as disciples of a sect. Some of them resembled him and were accompanied by Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Luo Fanchen clearly sensed several pairs of eyes that were filled with strong hostility as they peered at him.

Among them was that rude outsider.

"Humph!"

Li Miaoyun snorted, and several sect disciples withdrew their gazes as if struck by lightning. The Foundation Establishment elder beside her glared angrily, and Li Miaoyun returned the glare without any politeness. After a moment of stalemate, she finally gained the upper hand.

"What kind of thing is this? Feiyunfang is our territory, how dare you act so wildly here?"

Luo Fanchen returned a polite smile, and Li Miaoyun gave a soft hum, her pretty face softening as she smiled sweetly.

During her free time, she secretly shared information about the prodigies of various sects with Luo Fanchen via telepathy.

"That big, clumsy guy with horse eyes and a bull nose is Kui Shan, an inner disciple of Hou Tu Pavilion. He broke through to the eighth level of Body Tempering three days ago and is now ranked twenty-second on the Qingyun Ranking."

"The farmer dressed as Ma Fei is skilled in the art of cultivating spiritual plants. He is an inner disciple of the Zodiac Pavilion, at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and ranks fortieth on the Azure Cloud Ranking."

Following Li Miaoyun's gaze, Luo Fanchen silently observed, matching each of these sect geniuses with the intelligence from the previous night.

In addition, there are also the inner disciples of Chongyun Sect, Yunhe, and the thirtieth on the Qingyun Ranking.

With the addition of Han Chong, the four sects have truly deployed their elite forces this time.

"Kui Shan possesses abundant qi and blood, and his cultivation is steady and solid. He has a record of killing demonic cultivators who are above his level several times. He is undoubtedly the number one in the Body Tower."

“Ma Fei was once instructed by Liu Xia, and Zhi Lou will probably also fall.”

"Wait a minute. I remember Han Chong's alchemy skills were quite good, so why wouldn't Danlou be?"

Luo Fanchen frowned slightly, and the only response he received was Li Miaoyun's slightly embarrassed chuckle.

"Not only that, Yunhe has some knowledge of talisman making and can now refine first-grade high-quality talismans."

"Qinghe Sect, is Xianshui Residence just sitting around doing nothing?"

Luo Fanchen didn't feel any psychological burden. When he put himself in Ming Ruoxue's shoes, he almost couldn't help but laugh.

Before the seventh floor even opened, four seats were already lost. It's fortunate that she cultivates the ruthless path, otherwise Ming Ruoxue would be furious.

At the same time, on the third floor of the attic.

With her clear, indifferent eyes, Ming Ruoxue surveyed the vast number of independent cultivators and disciples from the four sects from her elevated position, her luscious white teeth gently rubbing against her moist lips.

She silently swallowed a Heart Cleansing Pill, and her breathing gradually became smoother.

"Senior sister, how about I ask you for someone?"

With a captivating voice, a beautiful young woman with a graceful figure and a simple white dress that reached the ground strolled in from behind the screen.

Her features were slightly sharp and delicate, with a long chin. She was considered beautiful, but she gave off an aura of superiority and unapproachability. She had a rather harsh appearance. She wore a Taoist robe with ice crystal lotus patterns, which was a few shades lighter than the one Ming Ruoxue was wearing.

It was Liu Xia, the one who governed the four domains and had a cultivation level of mid-Foundation Establishment.

"Who has taken a fancy to, Junior Sister?"

“Look, that rogue cultivator, I intend to bestow upon him a retainer's token, so that he can have a name attached to my four sects’ territories.”

Liu Xia pouted her slightly thin lips playfully, her gaze fixed on Luo Fanchen.

Ming Ruoxue remained noncommittal, not even sparing a glance for Liu Xia.

"How could my junior sister have taken a liking to him?"

"I've found my match. If my senior sister gives him to me, I can give him to her this time at the Dharma Hall."

Liu Xia spread her hands indifferently, a hint of mockery in her eyes: "After all, if I take over the entire seventh floor, Senior Sister might not be able to save face."

"Junior sister, you're too confident."

"He is indeed more confident than his senior sister. Sigh. You're the one burying talent, you can't stop her from seeking a better future."

Liu Xia said sarcastically, covering her mouth with a light laugh, "The chance to receive my retainer's token is quite rare~"

Ming Ruoxue's emerald eyes remained calm and still, her icy demeanor transforming into fine snowflakes as she calmly said, "I will give him a retainer's token."

"Hmm, you're giving it to him?"

Liu Xia was slightly taken aback, looking at her junior sister from left to right with a sense of disbelief, clicking her tongue in amazement.

"Is this the first time Senior Sister has given a man a retainer's token? Senior Sister really did have a backup plan. No wonder you were unmoved when I gave up the Dharma Tower."

Liu Xia tilted her head slightly, her curiosity about the rogue cultivator growing stronger.

Ming Ruoxue is at a critical stage in cultivating her mental state, and it is the time to sever the ties of cause and effect. She should avoid creating new causes and effects. How could she value this insignificant rogue cultivator so much?

The information Han Chong obtained seems to be true; this rogue cultivator named Luo Fanchen does possess some skill.

Liu Xia narrowed her long, beautiful eyes and said with a smile, "I will also give him a retainer's token. Senior Sister won't mind, will she?"

"After all, senior sister can't stop someone from pursuing a better future."

"Ah"

Ming Ruoxue remained noncommittal, taking light steps as if walking on air.

Frost danced around her, and wherever her lotus steps passed, ice crystals and snow lotuses bloomed. Ming Ruoxue looked down from a high place, her black hair flowing like a waterfall, her long fairy dress exuding a cool and elegant aura, making her seem unapproachable. Upon seeing her, the scattered cultivators immediately bowed in worship, chanting the fairy's majestic name.

"We pay our respects to Fairy Ruoxue."

The noise stopped immediately, and everyone held their breath. The only sound in Feiyunfang was respectful congratulations.

Ming Ruoxue's blue eyes were calm. She nodded slightly to everyone, then made a hand seal and said calmly.

"Today, on behalf of the Luoshen Pavilion, I open the seventh floor and invite the most talented people in the world to ascend. The top ten will receive a generous reward from the immortals. If they meet the age requirements, they can be directly promoted to the Azure Cloud Ranking. The top-ranked person will be granted a retainer order by my personal decree."

"And there's mine too~ You can choose between my and my senior sister's retainer tokens."

Liu Xia appeared beside Ming Ruoxue at some point, her smile alluring, her long dress flowing, and her presence unapproachable.

The crowd of independent cultivators were instantly abuzz with excitement, their eyes burning with greed. The disciple of Luoshen Pavilion had personally bestowed upon them the token of their respect!

"If we can obtain the order, we will be transformed from chickens into phoenixes, becoming trusted disciples of the Daoist sect. What difficulty will there be in establishing our own sect in the future?"

"Foundation building, if I can obtain the order, I will surely be able to build my foundation!"

The constant chatter around him was evident even in the eyes of the disciples from the sect standing beside Luo Fanchen, who were eager to try their luck.

"Is she Liu Xia?"

Luo Fanchen frowned slightly, feeling a chill run down his spine as he had the unsettling feeling of being watched.

Seemingly noticing Luo Fanchen's gaze, Liu Xia deliberately turned her head to meet his eyes and returned a sweet smile.

"Yes, this person is narrow-minded. Mr. Luo, it's best not to get involved with her."

How does it compare to you?

Upon hearing this, Li Miaoyun pouted slightly, looking rather aggrieved, and said, "Sir, you're comparing me to this fellow. His magnanimity is far greater than hers."

"Ahem, I meant cultivation level."

Luo Fanchen coughed lightly, and Li Miaoyun blushed, feeling rather embarrassed.

"I am still in the early stage of Foundation Establishment and am no match for this person. I apologize for making you laugh."

"Initial stage?"

Luo Fanchen was slightly surprised. He had thought that Li Miaoyun's cultivation level should be similar to Ming Ruoxue's, or at least in the late stage.

"In recent years, I've been wandering around and neglected my cultivation. Liu Xia is also skilled in combat. I can withstand a few dozen of her moves, but then I can't keep up."

"I see. Cultivation is the foundation of one's life. Miaoyun, you must not slack off."

Luo Fanchen casually finished speaking, but he couldn't even keep his composure. He was really getting carried away. A sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator dared to reprimand a Foundation Establishment cultivator for being negligent in his cultivation.

He was about to apologize when he saw Li Miaoyun pause slightly, her fox-like eyes relax, and she said with a smile, "I will listen to you, sir, and will devote more energy to cultivation in the future."

She didn't feel awkward at all; she was secretly delighted that her husband was calling her by her real name!
Soon, Ming Ruoxue made several hand seals, and countless array patterns appeared in the inner ring, each occupying one of the eight palaces of Qimen Dunjia, shaped like a bright moon, rapidly compressing inward, and finally enveloping the entire inner ring.

"Om-"

The spirit ship, which had been docked for a long time, hummed as it passed through the protective array and slowly came to rest outside the steward's office, its four sides facing the Eight Palaces.

The core of the spirit ship hummed, connecting with the earth's veins and simultaneously powering the Eight Palaces Grand Array. The ground in Flying Cloud Pavilion immediately shook violently, and the rogue cultivators' expressions changed slightly as they were thrown into chaos by the terrifying pressure of spiritual power.

Thanks to Li Miaoyun's protection, Luo Fanchen was able to carefully observe the array patterns.

Twisted and repetitive, deep as a curtain of night, shaped like a Kunpeng, it bears some resemblance to the array patterns on his wooden plaque, but it is far inferior in spirit. In comparison, the profound and exquisite array patterns have a crude and clumsy feel.

"Spatial array patterns?"

Luo Fanchen murmured, and saw that the space around the steward's office located in the underground spiritual vein was gradually distorted, torn apart and scorched by raging flames.

After a short while, Luo Fanchen heard a creaking sound like crystal shattering. He then saw seven deep, boundless voids appear in the Flying Cloud Pavilion, followed by seven towering buildings over thirty feet tall rising from the ground.

The pavilion is old and simple, resembling both a building and a tower. The plaques on it are engraved with the characters for "Dharma," "Body," "Elixir," "Talisman," "Sword," "Planting," and "Forging."

It is not a projection of spiritual energy, but a genuine spatial teleportation.

"The seventh floor was originally a standard treasure of the Luoshen Pavilion used to test the aptitude of its disciples and teach them according to their aptitude. It was called the Seven-Layer Glazed Pagoda, a mid-grade fourth-tier structure."

"This tower has ten branch buildings, each of which can transform into seven towers when activated, containing twelve floors. Each floor contains trials left by the senior members of the Luo Shen Pavilion. Those who reach the top will receive not only divine favor and rewards bestowed by Sister Ruoxue, but also opportunities granted by the senior members within." "Furthermore, once someone successfully reaches the top and takes their opportunity, the tower will automatically close, preventing future ascents."

Seemingly noticing Luo Fanchen's confusion, Li Miaoyun explained in a clear, soft voice.

"Fourth level?"

Luo Fanchen clicked his tongue in amazement. The fourth rank corresponds to the Nascent Soul True Monarch. This treasure can be regarded as a major artifact of the Daoist sect. It is not surprising that it can withstand spatial teleportation.

The seventh floor is closed once you reach the top. This saves on immortal resources and allows true geniuses to stand out more quickly.

Is it difficult to reach the summit?

"It's not difficult. The method is the most difficult, followed by the sword body. In each Immortal Ascension Conference, there are also geniuses who can reach the top of the other floors."

Li Miaoyun explained in detail, adding, "The branch buildings are different from the main building. There are shortcuts, such as taking pills, or using overdraft-type techniques, magic weapons, etc. The highest record for relying solely on personal strength is the eleventh floor."

"This record was set by Sister Ruoxue."

"I see."

Luo Fanchen nodded slightly, and Li Miaoyun casually handed him a pill, smiling, "Would you like this pill, sir?"

Luo Fanchen lowered his gaze. In Li Miaoyun's hand was a Boiling Blood Pill, a first-grade high-quality pill.

This elixir can briefly stimulate the body's potential, burning blood and qi to transform into true essence. Its elixir is perfectly refined, clearly made from earth fire, and its side effects can be minimized.

"No need."

Luo Fanchen shook his head, casually took the pill, and put it in his pocket.

Putting everything else aside, he had absolute confidence in his ability to generate true essence.

On the deck of the spirit ship, Ming Ruoxue stood with her head bowed, her blue eyes ethereal and her white hair flowing. In an instant, she disappeared from everyone's sight and reappeared on the twelfth floor of the Dharma Tower.

She sat cross-legged, her black hair flowing like a waterfall. Liu Xia followed closely behind, but it took them almost ten times longer to reach the rooftop.

Liu Xia narrowed her beautiful eyes, unable to hide her disgust. Ming Ruoxue ignored her as if she were nothing, her calm and friendly voice ringing in the ears of all the cultivators.

“All cultivators in my Qingyuan Domain have three opportunities to ascend the tower each month. Each tower can accommodate ten people at the same time, and those with higher cultivation levels can ascend first.”

"I am here to welcome you all to the top of the building. If anyone reaches the top, I will personally host a banquet in your honor."

"Me too!"

Liu Xia winked playfully at everyone, showing none of the airs of a Daoist genius, and was far more approachable than Ming Ruoxue.

The crowd of cultivators felt a surge of goodwill towards him. Manyun took the lead and headed to the Body Building. Han Chong, after gazing at Luo Fanchen for a long time, summoned several late-stage Qi Refining senior brothers from the four sects and said with great concern.

"I would like to trouble you fellow disciples to go up to the Dharma Hall first and fill up the quota, so that I can stay until I return."

"I'm afraid that if I go to Danlou, this person will beat me to it."

The group was slightly taken aback, and asked in confusion, "What about Qing Beixuan and Qian Yun? Aren't we going to leave them alone?"

Qing Beixuan, ranked second only to the chief disciple of Qinghe Sect, and Qian Yun, ranked third among the inner disciples of Xianshui Residence, are both at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and are ranked twentieth and twenty-fifth on the Qingyun Ranking respectively.

These disciples of the sect are nearly forty years old. They came here specifically to climb the tower to keep an eye on the geniuses of Qinghe and Xianshuiju and prevent them from accidentally climbing the tower. Otherwise, if Lord Xia gets angry, they will suffer the consequences.

"Qingbei Xuan is just a name without substance. If he really had the guts to be the first to go, I would respect him a bit."

Han Chong sneered. He knew Qing Beixuan's background very well. If this person wanted to reach the top of the Dharma Tower, he would have to take pills and use secret techniques. He would be destined to miss out on the Yi Wood Secret Realm later on.

This person is narrow-minded and indecisive; he would never pay such a huge price to climb the tower.

"As for Qianyun, although she is a woman, she is quite a figure. Unfortunately, she injured her meridians during the great chaos of the Yimu Sect and has not yet recovered, so she has no hope of reaching the top."

"Make sure you keep a close eye on this person!"

After saying this, Han Chong did not hesitate and headed straight for the Danlou.

At the same time, Mo Xue, guided by Xiao Cui and Yun Mo, also entered the Sword Tower.

"Would you like to go upstairs, sir?"

"Will it be my turn?"

Luo Fanchen smiled and gestured towards the Dharma Tower in front of him. He saw that the inner disciples of the four sects and a small number of Qi Refining late-stage rogue cultivators had already taken the lead in ascending the tower.

Since the quota was full, Luo Fanchen decided to leave first.

"grown ups?"

"Waiting is pointless. I'll go check out Fu Lou first."

Luo Fanchen estimated the time; he would have to wait at least ten rounds. In addition, Qing Beixuan and Qian Yun were also among the candidates for climbing the Dharma Tower in the next two rounds. Even if they couldn't reach the top, it wouldn't cause the Dharma Tower to fall.

His only real opponent should be Han Chong.

At the same time, inside the building, Kui Shan was unstoppable, rushing up seven floors in a row. Jubaoge also sent Yun Biaotou to climb the building, but his progress was no match for Kui Shan's. After stopping at the eighth floor, he fell out in a sorry state.

The Body Building, Planting Building, Pill Building, Talisman Building, and Magic Building are all led by cultivators from the four sects. The remaining two buildings are also in fierce competition.

"Qinghe Sect's Immortal Abode seems to be no match for them?"

"Tsk, even the Dharma Tower can't compare? They've taken so many spirit stones from us for nothing."

The scattered cultivators spat, feeling a sense of satisfaction as they had long been exploited by the Qinghe and Xianshui sects.

After ascending the tower, Fairy Ruoxue would lose face and would likely punish the two sects severely. At the same time, they were also worried that the fairy would give up Flying Cloud Pavilion, thus losing access to such pure spiritual energy.

"Senior sister, the sect under your jurisdiction is becoming somewhat lax. I'm afraid it will tarnish your reputation."

Liu Xia's voice was clear and delicate, with a slightly eccentric quality. Her face was as calm as a still lake, and she lightly sipped her tea.

Her emerald eyes narrowed slightly, and the disciples of the Qinghe and Xianshui sects downstairs couldn't help but shrink their necks in fear. Qing Beixuan and Qian Yun, who were hesitant, exchanged a glance and dared not delay any longer. They swallowed a Boiling Blood Pill, hastily refined it, and immediately went upstairs.

With their cultivation at the seventh level of Qi Refining and the aid of spiritual pills, the two progressed rapidly.

They practically leaped over the first five floors, and two figures appeared in the rankings of the Dharma Hall.

The disciples of Qinghe Sect and Xianshui Residence, knowing that their senior brother had made a move, were excited and cheered him on, hoping that their senior brother would be the first to reach the top.

"idiot."

The disciples of the four sects looked disdainful and booed loudly, but when Qing Beixuan and the other ascended to the ninth level, they fell silent for a moment.

"Senior Brother Han Chong has not yet reached the top of the Pill Tower?"

"If the two sects of Qinghe truly ascend to the top of the Dharma Tower, we will likely face punishment from the Master."

The disciples frowned, but soon their senior brother caught up with them at the Ninth Heaven.

At the same time, inside the Dharma Tower, Qing Beixuan reached the tenth level, with only 30% of his true essence remaining.

His brows furrowed as he stared at the intricate heptagonal array pattern before him. By injecting enough true essence to unlock the array pattern, he could proceed to the next floor. However, the difficulty of ascending the floor increased with each floor, with each floor consuming an additional 10% of true essence.

"My true essence is exhausted. If I continue to climb, the backlash will be too great and I may miss the Yi Wood Secret Realm."

Qingbei Xuan, panting heavily, paced back and forth, weighing his options.

He needs to take another Blood Boiling Pill just to reach the eleventh floor, and another one to reach the twelfth floor while simultaneously activating a secret technique.

The backlash from this was enough to keep him bedridden for three months.

"Fine, ten floors is enough to satisfy me. I was already ranked twentieth on the Azure Cloud Ranking, so the ranking at the top is no different from mine."

After a moment's consideration, Qing Beixuan, thinking himself wise enough to protect himself, glanced at his first-place ranking and calmly left the building.

"Pfft, hahaha. Twentieth on the Qingyun Ranking, is this kind of idiot?"

Upstairs, Liu Xia covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes full of mockery. She said sarcastically, "Is he indecisive, or is Senior Sister harsh and ungrateful? Senior Sister, governing your territory is like cooking thick porridge; adding oil over a blazing fire will only make it less appealing."

"Junior sister, you should take better care of yourself."

Ming Ruoxue pursed her lips indifferently, but the delicate hand holding the teacup beneath her sleeves began to tremble slightly.

Fool! If Qingbei Xuanzhen were to suffer a backlash from ascending the tower, would she stand idly by? Last night, she personally refined a batch of Luohe Pills, precisely because she foresaw the possible backlash from ascending the tower today.

Unexpectedly, this guy didn't even have the courage to try.

"Temporarily ranked first, fortunately, I have not failed in my mission."

When Qing Beixuan came out of the building, he smiled and bowed to his fellow disciples, which was met with cheers.

It's no wonder he's short-sighted; he's just used to exploiting rogue cultivators. Put yourself in his shoes. If it were him, he wouldn't care if his subordinates climbed a dilapidated building and suffered some backlash that wouldn't affect their foundation. He'd be happy to give them some pills as a token of appreciation.

The right way is to protect yourself wisely.

As expected, the remaining four cultivators all stopped at the fourth floor. They were old and their true essence was indeed not as abundant as Qing Beixuan's. Even with the use of Boiling Blood Pills and secret techniques, they could not reach the top, so they simply retreated.

"It's alright, we still have Senior Brother Han Chong."

After the four late-stage Qi Refining cultivators withdrew, they bowed apologetically to their fellow disciples, receiving only understanding and comforting glances in return.

Half an hour later, Zhi, Dan, and Erlou simultaneously reached the top.

Ma Fei and Han Chong took on the challenge, and Kui Shan, despite his best efforts, barely managed to climb to the twelfth floor, only to be stopped at the last formation and unable to reach the top to obtain the opportunity.

Meanwhile, in the Forging and Talisman Buildings, the cultivators from the four sects also had the upper hand, with only a young girl from the Sword Building rising to the top.

The disciples of Qinghe Xianshui Residence were humiliated and dared not look into Ming Ruoxue's serene eyes.

"Ling Moxue on the eleventh floor?"

"This woman seems to be a disciple of Fairy Miaoyun, a genius personally selected by Lady Ruoxue."

"A mere Qi Refining Stage 3 cultivator can actually climb to the eleventh floor?"

Everyone was thrilled, but their joy was short-lived. They saw Han Chong return from Danlou and, without saying a word, went straight into the Dharma Building.

Progress was rapid; the teacup had already broken through eight layers.

"Senior sister, it seems I won. But that girl from Jianlou really does have some talent."

"Why don't you give her to me, and I'll give you the magic pavilion and the forging pavilion in return?"

Liu Xia slowly poured Ming Ruoxue a cup of hot tea. Her slender eyes gleamed slightly, clearly indicating that she was not joking.

She truly recognized Ling Moxue's extraordinary talent and became interested in recruiting her.

She possesses at least a sword-bone level physique, but unfortunately, she's a bit too old. However, if she can be brought back to the Tuo family, this girl might become the personal sword slave of a certain direct descendant's son, which would be quite an opportunity.

"Noisy."

Ming Ruoxue's pretty face remained calm and composed, though she was expressionless, her heart was growing increasingly agitated.

They're all useless.

At the same time, Qianyun had just reached the tenth floor and was already exhausted, with only 10% of her true essence remaining.

She observed that Han Chong's ranking had risen rapidly, reaching the tenth level and surpassing Qing Beixuan.

Despite the pain in her meridians, she gritted her teeth and persevered, swallowing a Boiling Blood Pill and unhesitatingly activating a secret technique. After exhausting a large amount of her true essence, she finally reached the eleventh level.

She felt dizzy and lightheaded. When she tried to take the pill again, her old injury flared up, causing her to feel dizzy and lightheaded for a while. After spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, she could no longer hold on and fainted.

"Qianyun is currently in first place."

After Qianyun fainted, she was taken out by Falou. Ming Ruoxue immediately summoned a puppet to take her away to heal her wounds.

The disciples of both sects were excited for a moment, but then couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

Everyone knows that the eleventh floor cannot stop Han Chong, and the fall of the Dharma Tower is imminent.

At the same time, Luo Fanchen had just stepped out of the talisman tower, covering his face and sighing softly.

"I'm definitely not a genius in the art of talismans."

Luo Fanchen smiled bitterly; he had used two attempts but was stopped at the fifth floor of the Talisman Tower.

He glanced at the rankings on the seventh floor and saw that the fourth floor had already fallen, which made him chuckle. When he saw that Mo Xue had come from behind and reached the twelfth floor to undergo the final trial, he felt quite gratified.

"Luckily, Fairy Ruoxue cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness, otherwise she would have been furious."

Luo Fanchen chuckled and, without further delay, strolled toward the Dharma Tower.

"That's about it, it's time for me to catch up."
