Watching Long Xue and Fu Li leave, Xu Muan asked curiously, “Don’t you go to the ninth floor?”
Xiao Jinting said indifferently, “We are not in a hurry.”
The most precious thing on the ninth floor was the Tripod of Heaven and Earth, and he got it, so there were not many precious things left on the ninth floor. As for the tenth floor…
He wondered if Long Xue and Fu Li would go up there. If they did, they could explore the way for him. However, he guessed that Long Xue urged him to go up because she wanted him to explore the way for her.
Xu Muan asked, “Do you want them to explore the way for us?”
Xiao Jinting smiled and said, “You see me through.”
Xu Muan said, “It doesn’t trouble you at all if the treasures will be taken by them.”
Xiao Jinting said lightly, “If they are taken, that means they are not intended for me.”
Xu Muan looked at him and smiled. “It’s not like you.”
“Have you forgotten that Long Xue said anyone who enters the tenth floor will end up no good?” If the treasures on the tenth floor were easy to take away, they wouldn’t be there after so many years.
Xu Muan asked hesitantly, “Are you confident of dealing with the Yin Ghost King?”
Xiao Jinting waved the sword in his hand. “The Heavenly Thunder Wood is one of the Three Great Wood in the world. It’s the enemy of the Yin Ghosts, which hide at the sight of it. We’ll be fine.” He was an advanced Nascent Soul, and the ordinary Yin Ghost Beads couldn’t improve his soul force much. But, the high-grade Yin Ghost King was different.
Xu Muan followed Xiao Jinting into a mine.
Xiao Jinting looked at the mine and said admiringly, “The Yin Ghosts have chosen a good place to stay.”
He felt jealous. “The Yin Ghosts are living in the center of demonic ore mine.” When he was on the earth, he was dreaming to sleep on money, but he never did that. However, the Yin Ghosts had made it.
Xu Muan was speechless.
“Be careful!” Xiao Jinting pushed away Xu Muan and blocked a cultivator in black.
The cultivator was fast like an assassin in the dark.
Xu Muan stood on the side and watched the fight. The Yin Ghosts usually didn’t have bodies, but this cultivator had a body.”
“Human, you have a nice body, but you come to us,” the cultivator in black said with a hoarse voice.
Xiao Jinting sneered and took out several Heavenly Thunder Swords, which flew at the cultivator.
The cultivator in black was shocked at the sight of the swords, “Where do you come from? The Heavenly Thunder Wood got extinct long ago.”
Xiao Jinting neatly killed him with the swords.
Xu Muan asked, “Is it the Ying Ghost King?”
Xiao Jinting shook his head and said, “No. It’s a Yin Ghost that snatched a body. I heard that many cultivators disappeared in the tower, and I guess their bodies got snatched by the Yin Ghosts.” After the Yin Ghosts snatched bodies, they had the same life expectancies as the cultivators who died.
Xiao Jinting said, “Let’s go.”
Xu Muan nodded and followed him.
…
Long Xue stayed on the ninth floor for a month, but she didn’t see Xiao Jinting arrive.
Fu Li said impatiently, “Xiao Jinting is patient. He hasn’t come up yet.”
Long Xue snorted softly and said sulkily, “Of course. He took the most precious treasures of the ninth floor. I see those monsters on the eighth floor appealing to him. He would not miss any good chances. I don’t think he will come up before he finished killing all those monsters.”
There was not much to explore on the ninth floor, and she didn’t dare to go up to the tenth floor. She thought Xiao Jinting would explore the way for her, but he stayed on the eighth floor and fought with the monsters.
Fu Li said, “Those monsters must be valuable.”
Long Xue cracked her whip sullenly. She knew those monsters were precious, but she knew nothing about them, so she could only watch without doing anything. She felt bad. At the same time, she was envious of Xiao Jinting. She made up her mind to go to the other end of the teleportation array.
If she had been willing to give up the resources in the tower, she might have repaired the teleportation array and left.
