Ye Mi abruptly tightened his jaw.
Noticing that Ye Mi was nervous, Xiao Jinting smiled and asked casually, “Mr. Ye, what’s good about the seventh floor?”
“There are treasure boxes in the center of the storm. The treasure boxes are very strange. No matter how violent the storm is, they are stay there without moving. However, it is not easy to collect the treasure boxes in the storm. The more you go to the center, the more precious the treasure boxes are.”
Ye Mi’s words excited Xiao Jinting, who asked, “Mr.t Ye, what’s in the treasure boxes?”
Ye Mi relaxed a bit at sight of Xiao Jinting’s excitement, saying, “This tower is very strange. After the cultivators died in the tower, their belongings would be taken away by the tower. There were the treasures of the dead cultivators or from the tower in those boxes.”
Xiao Jinting was a little surprised. “The tower automatically collects the effects of the deceased cultivators. Is there a tower spirit here?”
Chen Xu had told him that some powerful magic weapons could produce their own spirit. However, most of the magic weapons that could produce the spirit were from ancient times. He had not heard of any weapon refiner who could refine a magic weapon with spirit.
Ye Mi shook his head and said, “I have no idea.”
Xiao Jinting touched his chin and said thoughtfully, “Mr. Ye, so this is how the seventh floor is. Do you know about the eighth floor?”
Ye Miao frowned and said, “I don’t know about it.”
“But I heard that eight out of the ten Nascent Souls that went up to the eighth floor went mad, and it took them many years to come back to their senses. There used to be a Nascent Soul who went to the eighth floor and got so crazy that he killed all his family members.”
Xiao Jinting was dumbfounded. It was incredible.
“It is said that there are not many valuable things on the eighth floor. The real good thing is on the ninth floor. I heard that in the center of the ninth floor is a tripod, in which there are countless treasures. However, no one is able to approach it, let alone collect it,” Ye Mi said.
Xiao Jinting asked, “No one can collect it?”
Ye Miao nodded and said, “I don’t know what that means, but no one can collect it.”
Xiao Jinting nodded, “Oh, I see.”
Ye Mi was afraid that Xiao Jinting would hurt him when he was injured, so he tried his best to answered all the questions. After Xiao Jinting knew what he wanted to know, he left Ye Mi.
…
After that, Xiao Jinting stepped into the storm. Countless small rocks fell from above like shooting stars, and he carefully dodged.
Xiao Jinting found that although the rocks seemed to move without any patterns, he could guess the moving pattern with his soul force and thus dodge.
He kept working up his soul force, which was consumed quickly. Fortunately, the Soul Refining water could restore the soul force in time.
The storm would get unusually violent where the treasure boxes were located. Of course, the more intense the storm was, the quality of the trophies in the treasure box would be higher.
Even though he was careful, Xiao Jinting was hit by a fast falling rock.
Xiao Jinting gritted his teeth and avoided the other rocks, putting a treasure box into his space ring.
Xiao Jinting touched the spot that was hit by the rock and rubbed his nose. He was wearing a magical vestment made of Green Vigorous Spirit Bamboo, which protected him when the rock hit him.
“Xiao Jinting.”
Xiao Jinting looked at the man, who was at the advanced level of Golden Core. He looked like a cultivator from the Xie family of the Business Alliance.
Xie Jin looked at Xiao Jinting in astonishment. He saw it clearly when the rock hit Xiao Jinting, and he thought he was seriously injured. To his surprise, Xiao Jinting looked fine.
Golden Core cultivators had limited soul force, and they could not stay long in the violent storm, so they had to retreat to quieter place for recuperation once in a while. When their soul force was recovered, they resumed looking for more treasure boxes.
Ye Mi had to take a rest, so did Xie Jin.
“Hello, Mr. Xie.”
Xie Jin looked at Xiao Jinting and said in surprise, “You weren’t killed by Cao He.”
A cultivator of the Xie family saw Cao He push Xiao Jinting and told Xie Jin when he met him. Therefore, Xie Jin was surprised to see Xiao Jinting safe and sound.
“I should have known it. You can’t possibly die since you were able to kill Elder Yuyao. Wow, you’ve advanced to the advanced level of Golden Core,” Xie Jin said with surprise.
Xiao Jinting smiled and said, “I was lucky.”
“Cao He is on this floor. Be careful,” Xie Jin said.
“What hasn’t Senior Cao gone to the eighth floor yet?”
Xie Jin smiled bitterly and said, “It’s not easy to go to the eighth floor. The stair going up to the eighth floor is in the center of the storm. Besides, the eighth floor is not a good place. Many of those who had been there went crazy.”
Xiao Jinting narrowed his eyes. Xie Jin said the same things as Ye Mi. There seemed not to be anything good on the eighth floor. According to Ye Mi, many Nascent Souls went up to the eighth floor because that was the only way to go up to the ninth floor.
Rumor had it that there was a tripod on the ninth floor with incredible treasures inside. However, this tripod couldn’t be collected.
“I’m leaving now. Take good care.” Xie Jin left with a talisman.
Xiao Jinting continued to explore the center of the storm.
Xie Jin looked back at Xiao Jinting with a faint smile.
He thought to himself, “It’s stupid of Cao He to offend such a powerful enemy. Xiao Jinting didn’t die, and he has advanced to the advanced level of Golden Core. If he advances to Nascent Soul, he might kill the Cao family.”
Xie Jin walked in the storm for a while and met Ye Mi.
“Hello, Mr. Ye.”
Ye Mi smiled and said, “This storm is too violent. I am too old to stay long. I think I’d better go down to the sixth floor.”
Xie Jin nodded and said, “Yeah, the space storm is too violent. If we don’t pay attention to it, we could die. Some of the treasure boxes that we manage to collect have no valuable things inside.”
Ye Mi nodded and agreed, “Yeah!”
“By the way, I just met Xiao Jinting. That chap seems to be doing fine in the storm!” Xie Jin said with admiration.
“Yeah, he’s not only lucky, but also powerful.” Ye Mi thought to himself, “Ye Jinlan has an eye for talents. I chose Xiao Jinting because I had no other options, but I didn’t expect him to be so powerful. I’m old, and my eyes are not as sharp as my granddaughter.”
