Shen Yuan Ring

After reaching the top of the Ascending Platform, Ji Daoyi was directly teleported to the second level.

There were already dozens of people here, making it quite lively. These people had all passed the test of the forty levels of the Ascending Platform. Some people from the other four major families had arrived first, including Yao Yuyao from the Yao family.

However, he was the only one from the Ji family to successfully reach the destination. It is likely that the others either did not reach it or were still climbing the Heavenly Ladder.

Ji Daoyi's sudden teleportation here did not attract the attention of these people, because everyone here had arrived in the same way, so it was nothing unusual.

The main reason, of course, is that most people are focused on the test of this level. Many are practicing their Yuan techniques alone, and some are even concentrating on alchemy! Only a small number of people are quietly discussing something in twos and threes.

After Ji Dao entered, he scanned the area but did not find any other members of the Ji family. Of course, he also spotted Yao Yuyao, but he did not go up to disturb her as she was refining pills. Instead, he approached the two people who were discussing something nearby and asked them questions.

Ji Daoyi asked the two men, "Brothers, excuse me! I just arrived and wanted to ask what you're doing."

“Look, all your questions are on that stone wall over there. Don’t disturb our discussion.” One of them didn’t explain in detail to Ji Daoyi, but pointed to the stone wall not far away.

This person didn't give Ji Daoyi a chance to reply and started discussing with his friend again. It was as if he was afraid that Ji Daoyi would keep bothering them.

Seeing this, Ji Dao could only bow and thank him, then walked towards the stone wall, wanting to see what was on it.

He soon arrived in front of the stone wall and understood what these people were doing.

The inscription on the stone wall details the content and rules of the second trial, consisting of several clauses:

1. Fighting is strictly prohibited for all. Anyone who initiates a fight will be killed on the spot!

2. No items from the second level may be taken away; violators will be eliminated!

3. Alchemy... Formation setup... Elemental skills... Completing any one of these will allow you to pass the level and proceed to the next trial!

4. Those who fail to complete the test within two months of entering the space will be considered failures and will lose the qualification to receive the inheritance!

The fact that these people didn't steal the pill formulas, Yuan techniques, and formation books suggests that someone had already risked their life and paid the price, which led everyone else to follow the instructions on the stone wall.

Although he didn't know the quality of the pill formulas and techniques, he saw that the alchemy furnaces provided by Qi Wei were all of good quality, and they were basically all high-grade yellow-level artifacts.

Ji Daoyi spent about fifteen minutes to tour the entire space.

Then, he pondered to himself, "Which one should I choose?"

In Ji Daoyi's opinion, the pill formula that Qi Wei used as a test must be extraordinary, and it would not be easy to successfully refine it. Moreover, each person was only given three chances to refine the pill.

Whether it's alchemy or array formation, you can only receive three sets of materials. If you fail to refine an item three times, it's considered a failure. Similarly, when cultivating Yuan techniques, you can only choose one technique to practice. If you don't achieve minor success within two months, it's also considered a failure.

"Never mind, I'll take a look at the pill formulas and array diagrams first, and collect the materials while I'm at it. I can't take anything else, but I can at least take some of these alchemy herbs and array materials, right?" Ji Daoyi was already making his own calculations.

Having made up his mind, Ji Daoyi headed towards the area where the pill formulas were stored, where many alchemists were talking.

Ji Daoyi simply picked up the pill formulas one by one and began to examine them, without talking to the alchemists.

He discovered that he could refine all of these pill formulas just by flipping through them. Most of the pill formulas he knew came from the memories passed down to him by his master.

"That's it? Then I can't just pass this test casually! Forget it, I'd better go take a look at the formation diagram. I'll feel bad if I don't take advantage of it. Besides, passing the test too early won't do me any good. Making money quietly is the best way." Ji Daoyi also curled his lips at the pill formulas that Qi Wei took out for the test, indicating that they were too stingy, not even having a single second-grade pill formula.

However, he did not consider the age of the people who were able to participate in the assessment this time. Even if they could achieve success in cultivation in their teens, it would be impossible for them to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Therefore, it would be a waste for Qi Wei to release the second-grade pill formula.

Then Ji Dao put all the pill formulas back in their original places and walked back to the almost deserted area of ​​the array diagrams.

In fact, Ji Daoyi was very interested in formations, especially since he had already gained some basic knowledge of formations before, and he had basically learned some low-level formation diagrams, although he had not had time to practice them.

When Ji Daoyi arrived at the array diagram area, he was disappointed because there weren't as many array diagrams as he had imagined, and there was only one array diagram in the huge area.

"I was wondering why no one was here. Turns out there was only one array diagram, and it was just a first-grade trapping array diagram." Ji Daoyi shook his head after seeing it and threw it back to its original place.

The First-Grade Trapping Array Diagram can only be considered the entry-level for array masters. It can be said that array masters must know arrays to enter the field, but for laymen who have no basic knowledge of arrays, it is a book written in the dark.

"It seems the only thing we need to find out is whether there are any good items in the Yuan Techniques. If it's all just this junk, it'll be too boring."

Having experienced two previous disappointments, Ji Daoyi no longer held much hope for Yuan Techniques.

The area where the Yuan Techniques are located is also the most populated place, and the Yuan Techniques are the last hope for these people to obtain the Qi Wei inheritance.

In Daoshu City, not everyone has the opportunity to become an alchemist. First, one needs resources, and second, one needs a certain amount of talent.

As for array masters, they are even rarer. Before the Ji family came to Daoshu City, only the Nangong family had the inheritance of array techniques, and even within the Nangong family, not all members could become array masters.

Ji Daoyi walked through the crowd and arrived at the Yuan Technique area. He did not disturb those who were deep in thought. He quietly passed by them, came to the Yuan Techniques, and casually picked up a Yuan Technique to look at it.

"Raging Dragon Slash, Yellow-level high-grade, not bad, very suitable for Xiao Hu, it's a pity he's not here." Ji Dao casually flipped through it and put it back in its original place, then picked up one Yuan Technique after another to look at.

"Starry Sky Sword Manual, Yellow Rank, High Level"

"Overlord Blade Technique, Low-level Profound Rank"

"Netherworld Blade, High-Grade Yellow"

......

"One-Finger Divine Skill, Middle Level of Profound Realm"

...

"Tianshan Six Yang Palms, Yellow Level, Intermediate"

"Nine Yang Divine Palm, Middle Level of Profound Rank"

Ji Daoyi looked at the various Yuan Techniques, which dazzled him, and he didn't know which one to choose to cultivate.
