But.
This was a secret realm personally arranged by the Sword Sage of Ten Thousand Daos.
Although the exterior looked rather crude,
Since it was written to be the Treasure Pavilion, there must be good items inside.
There were a total of ten simple stone huts in front of them. Could it be that each hut hid good things?
Someone tried to enter.
However.
Outside the stone huts, invisible barriers had been set up, making entry impossible.
From the red cord on Yun Jin's wrist, An Tong suddenly emerged.
Seeing a child suddenly appearing startled everyone.
An Tong chuckled. With this red cord, he could come to the little master's side at any time. As for these people, An Tong had no intention of explaining anything to them.
"In these ten rooms, Master placed ten treasures, to thank you all for your help," An Tong said with a grin. "But there are only ten treasures, while there are more than ten of you. How these treasures are distributed naturally requires a set of rules."
Everyone's expressions subtly changed.
The disciples of the four holy lands all subtly widened the distance between one another.
The treasures left behind by the Sword Sage of Ten Thousand Daos were bound to be extraordinary. Naturally, everyone wanted them.
At this moment, they were all competitors.
"What rules?" Jin Yu asked directly. "Why not just fight it out?"
In terms of pure combat strength, the sword cultivators of Kunlun Sword Sect had an absolute advantage.
Naturally, the others all objected.
"Then you tell us how to divide them," Jin Yu glanced at everyone.
These people were all full of schemes, far too troublesome!
If this was in Kunlun Sword Sect, there's nothing that couldn't be resolved by fighting once.
If there was, then they would fight a few more times.
"There's no need to argue," An Tong said with a giggle. "The master already made arrangements before leaving."
"These ten stone huts store different treasures, and each has different entry conditions. The ten stone huts respectively represent alchemy, talisman crafting, formations, artifact forging, planting, beast taming, soul refining, artifact control, and spiritual cooking, these nine skills. As for the last one, it is based solely on strength."
An Tong explained, "For example, among you, whoever has the strongest alchemy skills may enter the hut that stores alchemy-related treasures. The others are the same. As for the hut based solely on strength, only the one with the highest strength may enter."
Hearing this, everyone was fairly satisfied.
Among the ten stone huts, aside from the last one, which would most likely be taken by Jin Yu, the remaining nine huts aligned with the strengths of the four holy lands, and each side had some confidence.
"So how is this evaluated? Do we compete on the spot?" Jin Yu asked eagerly.
Setting aside everything else, he was quite willing to fight.
"Very simple. To enter the alchemy hut, bring the highest-grade pill you have ever refined to the door. Then the barrier of the stone hut will automatically judge whose pill is the most difficult to refine. Whoever is judged the strongest may enter the alchemy hut. The others are the same. If you wish to challenge a certain hut, first inject your spiritual qi into the barrier. After everyone who injected spiritual qi has demonstrated their skill, the barrier will make its final choice."
An Tong glanced at Jin Yu, "As for the last stone hut, it is based purely on strength. After injecting spiritual qi, a virtual arena will appear. You may use your divine soul to fight within the virtual arena. Whoever remains standing at the end is the victor."
"This one's good." Jin Yu immediately laughed. "I want the treasure in the last hut. None of you better fight me for it!"
Everyone looked at Jin Yu. For the moment, there really was nothing they could do about him.
"So, I can also participate in these challenges?" Yun Jin raised her brows. "I also want to see just how much worse I am compared to my holy land senior brothers and sisters."
An Tong giggled, "Of course. If the little master has the ability, then take all the treasures. I believe the others won't say anything."
Ye Liuqin smiled slightly, "Indeed. Junior Sister Yun, just play as much as you want, there's no need to worry."
Yun Jin looked a little hesitant, "I was wondering, after all, I am the owner. If I take everything, wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"
As soon as she said this, the people from the four holy lands all laughed.
Duan Yiwei even directly mocked, "Go ahead and challenge however much you want. If you can take even a single treasure, then I will..."
Yun Jin immediately looked at him, her gaze full of anticipation.
What would he do?
Duan Yiwei snorted coldly, "In any case, that's impossible. A holy land and anything outside a holy land are two completely different worlds. You'll soon understand this point."
Duan Yiwei didn't place Yun Jin or the people she brought with her in his eyes at all.
If not for Yun Jin's identity, he wouldn't have said a single extra word to her.
"Alright then. I'll be looking forward to Senior Brother Duan's performance," Yun Jin said with a smile.
Duan Yiwei snorted and ignored Yun Jin, beginning to consider which stone hut he would challenge.
Yun Jin let Yue Zhao and the others act freely. Then, she communicated with An Tong through her thoughts.
"An Tong, what exactly is inside these stone huts?"
An Tong looked puzzled, "Treasures, of course."
Yun Jin was shocked, "They're really treasures? Our Wushuang Sect is in ruins, yet the Sword Sage of Ten Thousand Daos, this spendthrift, is actually giving treasures away to others for nothing?"
Yun Jin immediately felt heartache.
This…
This was really painful for her.
An Tong blinked and said as a matter of course, "Master said that his inheritor would undoubtedly be astonishingly talented and invincible among peers. With the little master here, why fear treasures falling into others' hands? Master's intention was for the little master to use this opportunity to establish prestige among the younger generation of the four holy lands! Little master, the treasures in the other rooms are fine, but the treasure in the last room is really good, it was specially left for you by master."
Yun Jin: "..."
The last room was the one that required the highest strength to obtain the treasure.
This Sword Sage of Ten Thousand Daos really calculated everything.
Did he calculate that his inheritor would only have Nascent Soul Stage cultivation?
Nascent Soul versus Soul Transformation, if it was a cultivator outside the holy lands, she would still have some confidence.
But now her ultimate opponent was very likely the strongest Soul Transformation Stage cultivator of Kunlun Sword Sect. Sword cultivators were already the pinnacle of offense, not to mention Kunlun Sword Sect sword cultivators.
To defeat Jin Yu.
Yun Jin had no confidence at all.
An Tong sucked in a breath, "Little master, don't tell me you're not confident?"
Yun Jin looked at him expressionlessly, "Can't you tell that I'm only at Nascent Soul Stage?"
"It seems the little master has a strange treasure on her that blocks my inspection. Although I see that the little master is at Nascent Soul Stage, I thought the little master had hidden her cultivation," An Tong said honestly. "Otherwise, how could a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator pass the trials set by master?"
Tianpo interjected, "When the little master passed the trials, she wasn't at Nascent Soul Stage."
An Tong's expression lit up, "I knew it—"
"She was at Golden Core Stage," Tianpo continued as a matter of course.
An Tong: "...???"
