Devour

Chapter 192 Attending the meeting

Li Tong told the truth: "I don't know."

Cheng Baiqi said: "There are things you don't know too."

Li Tong smiled and said, "The world is so vast, and there are so many unknown things in the world. If you give me some secret books and scriptures often, I will naturally know more and more."

Cheng Bai nodded and said, "I will pay more attention to this matter in the future."

Li Tong was secretly delighted and encouraged him, "That's right. The more I know, the more you will know."

"Let's go to the Ladder of All Things to practice tomorrow, and tell me the details of the challenges and reward rules." Cheng Bai asked clearly and had a clear idea in mind. He sat cross-legged on the Zhenwu Stone Bed, silently practicing his magic skills and cultivating diligently.

Compared to the Qiongqi Continent, the vitality of heaven and earth in the Wuzhou Continent is much richer, and the cultivation level progresses by leaps and bounds. Coupled with the continuous devouring of natural treasures and spiritual objects, it seems that he is only half a step away from the formless realm, yet so far away that it is unattainable.

When the early morning sun cast its faint colorful light on the earth, Cheng Bai made full preparations and planned to challenge the Ladder of All Things.

There is no doubt that it is a shortcut to advance to the top of the ladder and enter the Shanhui City.

He arrived at the chief accountant's office in the lobby of Tianti Mansion, paid a full one thousand taels of gold, and registered the name of the new challenger as Baidi.

Although the registration fee was expensive, there were still a large number of monks who took the challenge, and the schedule was fully booked on that day.

Cheng Bai had never expected that the local business was so popular that he was scheduled for the next day. He was surprised and asked, "Does it have to start tomorrow?"

The chief clerk explained in detail: "There are restrictions on entry to the Ladder of All Things. Each person can only challenge it once every seven days. The appointment number is clear, the order is clear, and the results are clear, in order to save the precious time of all Taoists. The sooner the previous batch of challengers come out, the sooner they can enter. Otherwise, it will be later. You are lucky. Yesterday, a master who had an appointment with you suddenly got injured and had to recuperate, so he gave up his spot. Otherwise, it would be even later."

Cheng Bai was secretly happy: "Wang Xiongwu is the one who withdrew? It's really troublesome for him." He asked: "How many ladders of all things are there in the Five Continents?"

The chief clerk said, "There is one in each of the five continents, for a total of five. The one in Beilin Continent is the simplest and the cheapest, so the most people come to challenge it."

A thousand taels of gold was considered cheap, probably because the reward was generous.

Sure enough, a faint light flickered at the top of the Ladder of All Things, and the message echoed in the hall of the Ladder Mansion: "The challenger has received a reward for winning consecutively from the 1st to the 40th floor, 1 Flawless Nirvana Pill and 10 Nourishing Spirit Pills."

After a while, there was a lot of noise outside the door, and waves of celebrations could be heard.

"Congratulations to Senior Brother Xu Buwei for his success early in the morning and for ascending to the 40th level of the Ladder of All Things."

"The flawless Nirvana Pill has been produced. It was rare in the past and is precious and hard to come by."

"A wonderful golden elixir, a treasure that even immortals would admire, it can greatly improve one's skills."

Xu Buwei was full of pride, and he talked about his opponent with great interest: "The monsters on the 41st floor are rare. I drew a Dark Angel, whose swordsmanship is superb and whose killing moves are swift and fierce. It is really hard to match him. I managed to deal with fifty moves before giving up."

Duanmu Qi boasted: "Senior Brother Xu has a great record. He will definitely win the next challenge."

Xu Buwei sighed and said, "At my level of cultivation, it is becoming increasingly difficult to improve. Unfortunately, I only have one flawless Nirvana Pill, which is not enough to break through to a new realm. I don't know how many years it will take for me to win."

Zhen Yizhe said with great relish, "In the past, those who could obtain the Yangling Pill were considered lucky. They slowly accumulated and accumulated a lot. This time, Senior Brother A Pu will go to challenge. Guess how many levels he can reach?"

A large number of disciples from famous and upright sects talked in groups and gradually went away.

Cheng Bai pondered and said, "It will be quite troublesome to have so many people take turns to challenge. We can only talk about it tomorrow."

The chief clerk kindly reminded: "You have scheduled your appointment at the end of the Mao hour tomorrow morning. If you don't arrive within two quarters of an hour, it will be considered as giving up. You might as well come earlier."

Cheng Bai walked out the door, thinking, "I've really made the best use of the land and turned it into a good business. In the future, if I can rely on teleporting to and from the five ladders of all things, registering to swipe monsters every seven days, I can make a profit without losing money."

In the distance, smoke and dust rose up, and iron horses and swords swept in.

Leading the way were four red-flame horses, pulling a gorgeous seven-flame chariot majestically. Their fur fluttered in the wind like flames. The gorgeous chariot was inlaid with gold and jade, shining brightly, even more magnificent than the one Pan Zhonghan rode.

Behind them followed a large group of mighty soldiers, all of them wearing heavy armor and holding sharp weapons. They had solemn expressions and marched in step, exuding a terrifying aura of oppression.

Such a grand occasion in the city could only belong to the royal family, but the visitor was not from the royal family of the Snow Fox Kingdom.

Qixin's carriage stopped outside the Governor's Mansion, and the troops following it came to an abrupt halt.

The carriage opened the silk curtain, and a handsome young man in a robe and armor jumped out with a carefree smile on his face. It was Nie Ziqiong.

Cheng Bai bumped into him head on.

Nie Ziqiong called out, "Brother Cheng, are you here to challenge the Ladder of All Things? You are an expert in refining weapons and medicine, and you haven't fallen behind in your cultivation. You are truly multi-talented. We cultivators should take you as a role model."

He must have known that Mingjing City killed King Longbo and fought against Min Wushuang, and it mattered even more to him.

Cheng Bai cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Prince Nie, thank you for the compliment."

The arrival of the Nie royal family alarmed the governor of Yinsheng City, who personally led a group of his subordinates to greet them and invited Nie Ziqiong into the inner hall with a smile on his face.

Although they were both entertaining challengers, their treatment was particularly courteous and respectful compared to that of other monks or nobles.

Nie Ziqiong still wanted to recruit him, and he did not forget to visit him three times. He turned around and said, "Brother Cheng, you might as well think carefully about my last proposal. I am sincere. If you change your mind, please feel free to contact me. We can surely accomplish great things by working together."

Cheng Bai watched them enter the Governor's Mansion, thinking to himself, "Prince Nie is quite a romantic man. It's a pity that my woman is the Empress, and we will inevitably compete for the first place in the future."

After finding a place to practice for a long time, it was almost evening and Cheng Bai was thinking over and over again about the agreement to steal the skin.

The two ancient gods have extended their evil hands into the Snow Fox Palace, which must be a matter of great importance. It is better to pay attention to the development of the situation. Finally, it is decided to attend the meeting and go to the West Gate of the Snow Fox Palace.

It was the You hour, and the setting sun was shining obliquely on the square in front of the gate, reflecting the glittering red walls and golden tiles, as if casting a layer of mystery over the palace.

Cheng Bai hid and watched. There were few people around, and it seemed that no one had kept the hastily agreed agreement last night.

No, someone is coming.

Huang Yunzi was dressed in a yellow Taoist robe, looking very righteous, and walked towards the west gate leisurely.

The palace is a very important place, how can we allow others to get close to it?

The gatekeeper was about to shout at them, but Huang Yunzi flicked his sleeves lightly, and the two soldiers fell to the ground with their backs up, and fell into a deep sleep.

"Huang Yunzi has arrived as promised, senior, please show yourself." He was confident of his skills and courage, and did not take ordinary force seriously, shouting as if no one was around.

"Shh... don't scream so loudly." A beautiful figure of a woman in white appeared nearby and she seemed to be hushing.

Her white dress was as pure as snow, her long white hair fluttered in the wind like a white lotus blooming in the night, her face was beautiful and peaceful, her eyes were delicate and charming, and there was a sly smile on the corner of her mouth.

Huang Yunzi made many guesses, but he did not expect the woman to be so young and beautiful. He was slightly surprised and then calmed down: "It must be a demon in disguise. Don't fall into the mystery."

He bowed and said, "Thank you, Fairy."

The woman in white chuckled and turned to where Cheng Bai was hiding and said, "You hid really well. I almost didn't find you."

Cheng Bai knew he couldn't escape, so he revealed himself and said, "Senior, you have great skills. I admire you. What should I call you?"

The woman in white said, "Each tribe has its own strengths in secret arts. If you catch up with them, you may not be able to discover them. My name is Yingying, what's yours?"

Cheng Bai didn't think the name the woman in white said was her real name, so he said casually, "My name is Dabai."

Huang Yunzi recognized Cheng Bai and said calmly, "Daoyou really has some skills."

Cheng Bai asked: "Where are the other two seniors?"

Huang Yunzi said: "They are with me. If I need them, they will appear at any time."

Yingying rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "The royal treasure is hidden deep in the underground maze. When we go down to look for it, we must take care of each other."

Huang Yunzi said: "Since we have formed an alliance, you can rest assured, my friend. Your business is my business."

Cheng Bai thought to himself, "This guy speaks better than he sings. If we're not careful, he'll sell us out."

"Follow me." Yingying gently pushed open the door of the west pavilion and led the way. There was no one around.

The Snow Fox Kingdom's palace has a unique layout. The palace is winding like a maze, circling along the red-walled corridors all the way to the tallest and most majestic building in the palace.

It is over a hundred meters high. From a distance it looks like a monument, and from a close distance it looks like a dark and heavy stone door. It is filled with the atmosphere of ancient times and has a regular and unique shape, similar to the ruins of Pangu.
