So far, it has been more than 20 days since Qingyang entered the duckweed illusion, and it took less than a quarter of the three months. However, he has passed the fourth floor in a row without any delay, and the progress is still good. A day later, Qing Yang adjusted his state and stepped into the fifth layer of the duckweed illusion.

The fifth floor of this duckweed fantasy is different. There is only a big mountain in front of it, and Qingyang is standing at the foot of the mountain. It is different from the mountains that I have seen before. It is peaceful and peaceful, surrounded by aura. Turtles, cranes, and beasts strolled along the road, looking like a paradise.

At the top of the mountain, there seems to be a Taoist temple, hidden in the pines and ancient cypresses. It is not clear from a distance. Although there is no clear instruction, Qingyang can see that this Taoist temple must be entered. Maybe The opponent of this level is waiting for him in that Taoist view.

Qingyang strode up the mountain. After half an hour, he finally climbed the top of the mountain and came to the door of the Taoist temple. Only then did he see the whole picture clearly. The entire Taoist temple covers an area of ​​only ten acres and is divided into several courtyards. The buildings inside are simple and elegant. Dilapidated, I don't know how many years it has existed.

"Since the guests have already arrived, why don't you come in and talk?" Just as Qingyang was standing at the door to observe the surrounding environment, the door of the Taoist Temple suddenly opened, and a voice came.

Qingyang looked at it, there was a patio in the door, and behind the patio was the main hall. It was empty and no one was there. I don't know where the people who spoke were hidden, but if they came, they were safe. Whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, go first. Let's take a look and say, so Qingyang walked through the patio and entered the hall.

The layout of the hall is very simple. There is only a table in the center. Outside the table is a chair facing Qingyang. Inside the table is a picture hanging on the wall. There is nothing else. , not even a single figure was seen, and the person who spoke did not know where he was.

As soon as Qingyang entered the room, the voice said again: "The distinguished guest is welcome, please take a seat."

This time Qingyang finally saw it clearly. The voice came from the words across the table. The painting was of an old man sitting under a pine tree, with white beard and white hair, quite immortal. The voice came from At that time, the old man's mouth opened and closed, obviously it was his voice.

It's really strange that a painting can actually speak. Fortunately, Qingyang has a lot of knowledge, and at this time in the duckweed illusion, it's not too strange for any strange things to happen. Since the other party asked him to sit, Then sit down, Qingyang pulled out the chair and sat down, then looked at the old man in the painting opposite, and said, "I don't know why you asked me to come in?"

The old man in the painting smiled and said, "Of course it's for your assessment."

"Are you the assessor of the fifth floor?" Qingyang said unexpectedly, while he was speaking, Qingyang also made preparations, so as not to be unable to deal with the opponent's sudden attack, this duckweed illusion is assessing these competitions anytime, anywhere. You, anything can happen. Don’t look at the old man in the painting, who is kind and harmless to people and animals. He will never show mercy when he turns his face. At the third floor, his strength is not much worse than the current Qingyang. If he does not prepare in advance, he has no absolute certainty.

Seeing Qingyang's guarded face, the old Taoist in the painting smiled and said, "You don't have to be so nervous, I won't do anything to you. There are nine levels in the duckweed illusion. If all levels rely on fighting to break through, Otherwise, how can someone break through several floors? So this floor is a literary test."

Literary exam? Qingyang frowned, but he was completely unprepared. He didn't know what questions would come up in the literary test. Compared with the battle, the literary test would be easier, but Qingyang did not dare to let go of his guard. At the time, he suffered too many sudden tests, which made him have to be extremely careful. Who knows if there is a murderous intention hidden in the smile of the other party.

The old man in the painting seemed to know what Qingyang was thinking, and he didn't break it, and continued: "The contestants can't just improve their cultivation, so the literary test will test your other skills, including weapon refining, formation, alchemy, Talisman making, etc., as long as you have a skill, you can participate. If you pass the test, you can successfully pass the fifth floor. If you don't have any special skills, or your skill level is extremely low, you can't pass the test I set. I can say sorry."

The assessment of this level is actually other skills, which is a bit beyond Qingyang's expectations, but the cultivator really can't just improve his cultivation, otherwise the world of immortality will be too monotonous, Qingyang is not worried about such an assessment, after all, he is in There are still a few brushes in alchemy. I just don't know if I can choose the type for this assessment, and what the assessment criteria are. If the other party specifies or randomly selects, and they choose something that they are not good at, they will suffer, or the other party's standard is very high, and they will do their best to achieve it. If not required, it would be better to exit this duckweed illusion as soon as possible.

"I don't know how to assess, and what is the standard for assessment?" Qing Yang couldn't help asking.

There is an old saying in the painting: "Cultivation of immortals is like rowing a boat against the current and then retreating. Of course, it is impossible for UU reading www.uukanshu.com to encourage everyone to spend their energy in other areas and be good at it, so this assessment is very simple. Choose one, as long as you reach the same level as your cultivation base."

The old way in the painting is simple, but in fact it is not simple at all. Reaching the same level as the cultivation base is the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul level. From the aspect of alchemy, it is the level of the senior alchemy emperor. This is not an ordinary difficulty. . Although monks will practice some other skills more or less, most of them just use it as a hobby to pass the time, and they don’t spend too much time in this area, and there are very few monks who are really proficient in a certain field. few. Unless a major force specializes in training or living on this, it is possible to specialize in one subject, but because these people spend most of their energy elsewhere, they are not as good in terms of cultivation. The opportunity to participate in the Thousand Infants Association, or to be eliminated directly in the first few floors, is very rare for someone like Qingyang who has superb alchemy skills and can reach the fifth floor.

Of course, none of this has much to do with Qingyang. It doesn't matter whether others can pass this level. At least Qingyang has a certain degree of certainty. Before entering the Myriad Spirit Secret Realm, his cultivation base was only at the early stage of Nascent Soul. At that time, his alchemy technique reached the level of a senior alchemy emperor. With the improvement of his cultivation base, his alchemy technique has improved to a great extent. That is to say, his cultivation base has improved a little faster in recent years, and he has spent less time on alchemy techniques. , otherwise he would have already entered the realm of Danzong.
