Chapter 184: Ladder to Heaven
Seeing this, Qin Tian could not help but feel relieved. He quickly grabbed the orb on the ground and quickly put it into his storage bag. At the same time, he did not forget to thank him loudly:
"Since the senior is so generous, I would be disrespectful to refuse it. Qin would like to thank the senior for the gift!"
As soon as these words came out, the illusory figure of the white-haired old man in the inner space of the orb turned pale again, and his aura became unstable, almost collapsing on the spot!
But perhaps because of the fear of the mysterious pendant on Qin Tian's chest, the white-haired old man never dared to step out of the orb space again, for fear that if something went wrong, his soul would be annihilated on the spot!
As for the outside world in the ancient temple, Qin Tian, who was still unaware of it, waited for a long time without a reply. After confirming that the magic round bead was an "ownerless object", he could not help but feel relieved.
Then, in accordance with good professional ethics, he searched the entire abandoned ancient temple carefully inside and out. After making sure that there was nothing missing, he slowly stepped out of the temple gate with satisfaction.
After a while, his figure turned into a residual shadow and disappeared in the dense forest.
But what Qin Tian didn't know was that not long after he left, the ancient temple, which was already in ruins, collapsed to the ground with a bang, splashing a burst of dust!
And in the corner of his storage bag, the mysterious gem was flashing a faint light.
As for the illusory figure of the old man sitting cross-legged in the inner space of the gem, he sneered with a gloomy face:
"Greedy boy, let me see how long that ghost thing can protect you! Now is the opportunity to escape from this ghost place..."
After about a cup of tea, Qin Tian finally came to the top of the mountain.
On the way, he couldn't resist his curiosity and took out the orb several times to study it, and even tried the method of dripping blood to recognize the master.
However, the result was not ideal. Not only could he not see what was strange about the orb, but even the method of dripping blood to recognize the master did not cause the orb to react at all.
Seeing this, Qin Tian was puzzled, but he didn't think much about it.
After all, rare things like magic weapons are all in the hands of Jindan masters. How can ordinary Qi-refining cultivators have the opportunity to find out!
The reason why the treasure light is so restrained at the moment may be because his own strength is not enough, and it is still unknown that he has not met the conditions for recognizing the master!
Moreover, even if the master is recognized successfully, with his current cultivation level, it is just a foolish dream to activate the magic weapon!
Thinking of this, Qin Tian no longer forced it, and directly put the orb into a jade box, leaving it for the future when his cultivation level is improved!
At this moment, a flat deserted square with some blue bricks paved on the ground appeared near the top of the mountain!
But there was no one on the deserted square!
Seeing this, Qin Tian was shocked, and then he quickly accelerated his body. In just a few breaths, he had landed on the square.
However, his expression was slightly ugly!
In front of the deserted square, there was a white jade staircase surrounded by clouds and mist, extending directly to the top of the mountain.
Qin Tian had heard about this white jade staircase.
It is said that when the Jinxuan Sect was at its peak, in order to cultivate its disciples, it had spent a lot of resources and laid out the ancient spirit gathering formation on the top of the giant peak, forming the "Spirit Tempering Pool" that is now popular in the world of immortal cultivation!
In order to test whether the disciples in the sect are qualified for spirit tempering, the Jinxuan Sect even specially built a "Sky Ladder".
It is said that there are all kinds of strange illusion arrays on this cloud ladder. If you are not strong-minded, you will easily get lost in it and miss the precious trip to the "Quenching Pool"!
Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the "Quenching Pool" has been opened in advance for some reason, causing Qin Tian to miss a lot of opportunities!
After all, according to past practice, the opening and closing time of the "Quenching Pool" is fixed each time.
And the opening time is only a short month!
This means that the sooner you get to the top of the mountain where the "Quenching Pool" is located, the longer you can have the quenching time, and you can also occupy the place with the richest spiritual energy!
The benefits are naturally self-evident!
But at this time, on the "Sky Ladder", there are already many figures of cultivators from the human and demon races, climbing towards the top of the mountain.
Even those who are faster, such as the leaders of various forces, and many leading cultivators, have reached the middle of the "Sky Ladder"!
Seeing this, Qin Tian dared not delay any longer. He turned into a shadow and rushed towards the "Sky Ladder".
A moment later, almost at the moment when Qin Tian stepped on the first step of the ladder, his figure froze in place!
The reason for this was that the surrounding environment had changed drastically in Qin Tian's eyes.
His figure appeared in a sect treasury without knowing when!
In the treasury, on rows of wooden shelves, many cultivators' dream techniques, elixirs, spiritual tools, spiritual stones, and even precious magic weapons, as well as powerful talismans, were quietly placed on them.
Even the subsequent techniques of the "Five Elements Soul Transformation Technique" that Qin Tian had been seeking for a long time, unexpectedly appeared on the wooden shelf.
At this moment, it seemed that as long as he was willing, many precious cultivation resources were at his fingertips.
However, seeing this scene, Qin Tian was only lost for a moment, and his eyes quickly regained clarity, with a calm look in his eyes!
In an instant, the surrounding scenes were broken into pieces like a mirror.
And Qin Tian's figure appeared on the cloud ladder again.
He raised his head slightly, looked at the top of the mountain covered by clouds, and then took a step without hesitation and stepped firmly onto the second step!
In a blink of an eye, the surrounding scene changed again.
This time, it was a brothel.
Qin Tian was in it, like a mortal playboy, surrounded by sexy women with revealing clothes and heavy makeup.
And these beautiful women were all around him, dancing with enchanting bodies, and flirting with Qin Tian.
For a while, Qin Tian, who was in a gentle place, drank and had fun, accompanied by beautiful women, was really happy!
However, in just a moment, Qin Tian, who was originally full of lust, suddenly flashed a cold light in his eyes, and then stood up without hesitation, and a strong spiritual power wave instantly spread.
In an instant, all the beautiful dancers around were shattered, turning into dots of light that quickly drifted away!
Then the surrounding scene changed again, and once again returned to the "Ladder to Heaven"...
