Chapter 752: The Golden Pagoda That Judges People by Their Status

While Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi were secretly transmitting their voices, Yang Yuntian stared at Mu Lingxi, his expression shifting for a moment.

He took a deep breath, showing no signs of anger, and said in a calm voice, "Wang Daniu is merely a servant, and his cultivation is only at the Second Layer of Qi Refining."

"He has little inherent value."

"How about this: I will exchange ten Fifth-Order Low-Grade Pills with you to let him go."

Mu Lingxi sneered, "He may indeed have little value himself, but he is someone Senior Brother Xuan Che has explicitly ordered to be captured; he can be traded for a favor from Senior Brother Xuan Che."

"A favor from Senior Brother Xuan Che—let alone ten Fifth-Order Low-Grade Pills, even your life would not be enough to trade for it."

Hearing Mu Lingxi's words, Yang Yuntian's expression turned unsightly.

"Senior, forget it."

Just then, Wang Jianqiang suddenly looked at Yang Yuntian, "My death is already a foregone conclusion; I do not wish to implicate you further in being humiliated, Senior. Moreover, your current situation is not optimistic, and even if she were willing to release people, it would not be convenient to take me along."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, a flash of hesitation crossed Yang Yuntian's face.

A moment later, he let out a long sigh.

"Little brother, I am incompetent and have failed you."

Saying this, he sighed again.

His figure flickered, and he returned to the midst of the Beast Taming Sect members.

After Yang Yuntian left.

The Jade Cauldron Sect cultivators in the crowd looked at Mu Lingxi one after another, their faces full of envy, "Zilan, I didn't expect you to have actually captured this person; your luck is truly good."

"Senior Brother Xuan Che is right on the second floor of the Artifact Pavilion; your timing is truly coincidental."

"A favor from Senior Brother Xuan Che... why wasn't it me who caught him? Sigh~"

Hearing the words of the Jade Cauldron Sect crowd, Mu Lingxi and Wang Jianqiang both felt a stir in their hearts.

Xuan Che is on the second floor of the Artifact Pavilion?

Mu Lingxi's gaze swept over Wang Jianqiang inadvertently.

Wang Jianqiang, who had been acting timid all along, seemed to look up just at that moment.

The instant their gazes met, a flash of sharp light crossed both their eyes.

"Senior Brother, what do you say?"

Mu Lingxi's voice, filled with joy, rang out in Wang Jianqiang's mind.

Wang Jianqiang pondered for a moment.

Seeing that figures were still continuously walking into the Treasure Realm, and there seemed to be a few among the Beast Taming Sect cultivators who had not yet entered.

He figured they would not leave in the short term.

Yang Yuntian should be safe for the time being.

"Let's go~"

He transmitted a brief message to Mu Lingxi.

Upon hearing this, Mu Lingxi waved her palm.

A force swept up Wang Jianqiang, and as if holding him hostage, she hurried toward the upper floor with him.

The crowd merely thought Zilan wanted to claim credit as soon as possible and did not think much of it.

The two soon arrived at the second floor.

The second floor was different from the first.

In the center of the second floor stood a Golden Pagoda.

The lower half of the Golden Pagoda was located on the second floor, consisting of four levels, while the upper half passed through the ceiling above, reaching directly to the third floor of the Artifact Pavilion.

Moreover, there was no staircase to the third floor on the second floor.

In other words, to enter the third floor, one could only pass through this Golden Pagoda.

The gates of the Golden Pagoda were wide open.

As the two looked at the Golden Pagoda, people walked out of it from time to time.

Some were covered in wounds, while others were unscathed.

Some were joyful, while others were dejected.

"The Magic Treasures in the Golden Pagoda have all been endowed with independent consciousness, transforming into a type of powerful Battle Spirit; it is not easy to disperse the body of a Battle Spirit and obtain the Magic Treasure."

"The first-floor Treasure Realm is better; although you can only enter once and the probability of obtaining a powerful Magic Treasure is very small, with a high possibility of returning empty-handed, it has the advantage of being safe."

This was the muttering of a wounded Tianlang Hall cultivator as he left the Golden Pagoda.

It was keenly noticed by Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi.

Battle Spirit?

It sounds somewhat similar to the Pill Spirit inside the Pill Tower.

Could the rules inside this Golden Pagoda be similar to the Pill Tower?

Wang Jianqiang was lost in thought.

"Senior Brother, what do you think? Shall we go in?"

Mu Lingxi looked at Wang Jianqiang, looking somewhat eager to try.

Wang Jianqiang rolled his eyes, "Doesn't Xuan Che have us collecting treasures for him already?"

"Why go in and suffer this trouble?"

Mu Lingxi thought that made sense and nodded, "Senior Brother's words are reasonable."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Let's go, let's return to the first floor and wait; Yang Yuntian has been targeted by cultivators from the other Three Great Factions."

"When he leaves, those cultivators on the first floor will surely follow him out."

"That will be the time to reap the benefits."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of anticipation flashed in Mu Lingxi's eyes, "Heh heh heh~"

The two returned to the first floor of the Artifact Pavilion and gathered with the Jade Cauldron Sect cultivators.

"Zilan, haven't you seen Senior Brother Xuan Che?"

A Core Disciple of the Jade Cauldron Sect looked toward Zilan.

Mu Lingxi nodded, "There is a Golden Pagoda between the second and third floor spaces; Senior Brother must have entered the Golden Pagoda and has yet to return."

"I felt there was some danger in that Golden Pagoda, so I did not rashly enter."

Among the Jade Cauldron Sect disciples, several had clearly suffered in the Golden Pagoda; hearing this, they nodded in full agreement.

"Zilan, you were right not to enter that Golden Pagoda."

"That Golden Pagoda is too sinister."

"The Golden Pagoda is divided into seven levels in total; the lower four levels are in the second-floor space of the Artifact Pavilion, while the upper three levels are in the third-floor space."

"Although the Battle Spirits in the Golden Pagoda become stronger the higher the level, the strongest Battle Spirit in the lower four levels is only at the Sixth-Order Will Stage."

"In fact, on the first level, they are merely low-level Battle Spirits of the First-tier or Second-tier."

"But there is one point that is truly disgusting: the Battle Spirits can perfectly undergo Integration; just by integrating three Battle Spirits, their strength can undergo a transformation."

"The strange part is that the Golden Pagoda judges people and treats them differently."

"Some people enter the Golden Pagoda and only encounter small groups or even individual Battle Spirits along the way."

"But others enter and encounter Battle Spirits like a mountain-shaking tsunami."

"Although the artifact spirit of the first level of the Golden Pagoda is weak, if one's luck is poor enough to encounter a large number of Battle Spirits, those Battle Spirits can integrate with one another and even give birth to an integrated entity capable of rivaling a Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivator."

"Precisely because of this, many people cannot even clear the first level."

Hearing the experiential advice from the few Jade Cauldron Sect cultivators who had entered the Golden Pagoda, Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi exchanged a calm glance.

Luck?

That is the one thing Xuan Che lacks the least.

It seems their harvest this time is going to be off the charts again!

The two kept waiting silently on the first floor of the Artifact Pavilion.

Just after the last Beast Taming Sect cultivator present emerged from the spatial portal, Yang Yuntian could no longer remain steady.

"Fellow Senior Brothers, that Xuan Che could return at any moment; it would be best if we left as soon as possible."

Hearing the name Xuan Che spoken in Yang Yuntian's telepathic transmission, the Beast Taming Sect cultivators present simultaneously revealed grave expressions.

Although Xuan Che is only an Eighth-Order Will Stage cultivator, his strength is even greater than that of the Ninth-Order Will Stage Yuan Xiuya.

If he were to return, his strength alone would be enough to rival all the Beast Taming Sect cultivators present combined.

When that time comes, they likely wouldn't be able to escape.

Thinking of this.

Everyone agreed one after another.
