96: Chapter 96 Setting up the Trial Tower, Spirit Stone Mine

The Sect Leader of Wuxing Mountain could not help but frown; he had not expected Li Luochen to be able to produce such a treasure.

Whether taking it back to use for his own kin or giving it to his own Disciple, it was a very good treasure.

"Junior Brother, I wonder if you have any more of such treasures in your possession? I can purchase them with Spirit Stones."

Li Luochen shook his head and said, "Senior Brother, you jest. I am afraid Spirit Stones cannot purchase such treasures."

The Sect Leader of Wuxing Mountain quickly said, "It just so happens that I have three drops of Five Elements Spirit Liquid here, which I can trade for the Medicinal Pill in your hands, Junior Brother. However, these five Medicinal Pills you have are not comparable to three drops of Five Elements Spirit Liquid."

Li Luochen nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, they are not comparable. How about I add ten tea leaves?"

As he spoke, he took out ten pieces of yunmeng tea leaves.

It was not that he was unwilling to bring out the enlightenment tea, but that the item was too scarce, and he was unwilling to let others use it.

As for this yunmeng tea, he had a whole mature tea tree, and even a few enlightenment tea seedlings.

He was not lacking in this item, so taking it out was no loss.

Upon seeing the yunmeng tea leaves, the Sect Leader of Wuxing Mountain quickly took them and began to examine them carefully.

A moment later, he said, "Thirty pieces, plus the five Medicinal Pills, and we shall make the trade. How about it?"

Li Luochen shook his head and said, "That would be my loss. Sect Head, give me an additional three hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones."

The Sect Leader of Wuxing Mountain frowned, but in the end, he took out three hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones and those three drops of Five Elements Spirit Liquid, exchanging them for quite a few good items from Li Luochen's hands.

After obtaining these resources, Li Luochen took his leave.

Li Luochen was not afraid that the Sect Leader of Wuxing Mountain would develop greed toward him; he was not even afraid if the five Nascent Soul old monsters of Five Elements Mountain made a move against him, as the sword talisman on his body was not just for show.

The Nascent Soul old monsters who could be assigned here were definitely not strong; at most, they were only at the Nascent Soul Stage Early Stage.

If they dared to target him, killing two of them would be enough to deter the other party.

Returning to Luochen Peak and making arrangements for Ye Wudao, Li Luochen left Five Elements Mountain.

He was cautious about what was behind him, fearing that someone was following him. However, after he had flown a great distance, no one had followed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

In reality, even if someone were following him, they could not keep up. Relying on the speed of the Cloud Piercer, even those at the Nascent Soul Stage Early Stage could not catch up to him, let alone those at the Golden Core Stage.

At Luochen Mountain, when Li Luochen returned, the clansmen were Cultivating; he could not see them when they were planting spirit rice.

Li Luochen did not disturb them and went directly into the Secret Realm through the teleportation array.

Seeing that the Secret Realm had not grown much, he quickly took out those Five Elements and Yin and Yang resources and threw them all into the Secret Realm.

With the input of these Five Elements and Yin and Yang resources, the Secret Realm began to expand rapidly.

Li Luochen did not pay attention to the expansion of the Secret Realm; he himself traveled at an extremely fast speed through the teleportation array and appeared on Hidden Dragon Island.

When he arrived at Hidden Dragon Island, he saw many clansmen tending to the Tier 2 Spirit Medicine, nodded with satisfaction, and then quickly began to search around the island.

Not long after, Li Luochen found a relatively flat area. This place was some distance away from the Li Family Council Hall on Hidden Dragon Island, but it was still a good spot.

With a wave of his hand, the Trial Tower appeared directly there.

Looking at this sixteen-story Trial Tower, Li Luochen nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad. From now on, the clansmen can improve their combat power without leaving the Family."

Immediately afterward, he saw him wave his hand, and countless resources flew from his hands, directly merging into the Trial Tower.

These resources were all obtained by him over the years; relying on these resources, he could Cultivate quite a few Foundation Establishment Peak clansmen.

Even Golden Core powerhouses could be cultivated, but he did not intend to take these resources out directly.

If they wanted these resources, they would have to open the Trial Tower themselves to obtain them.

It was just that there were not many resources currently, and resources above the Golden Core Stage were even fewer, so Li Luochen first adjusted the difficulty of the Trial Tower.

After doing all this, he was just preparing to install the Sword Testing Platform when Li Changsheng and the others flew toward this side at an extremely fast speed.

Such a large building as the Trial Tower must have attracted their attention. If they did not appear soon, Li Luochen would have started to doubt their vigilance.

Looking at that behemoth, Li Yanzhong and the others could not help but widen their eyes, curiously examining the Trial Tower.

Subsequently, they saw Li Yanlong fly quickly toward Li Luochen and land in front of him.

"Patriarch, what is this?"

As soon as he stopped, Li Yanlong asked curiously.

Li Luochen smiled and said, "This is a good place. This is the Trial Tower. The first four floors correspond to the four Realms of Qi Refining early, middle, late, and Peak stages. Floors five to eight correspond to the four minor Realms of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and floors nine to twelve correspond to the four minor Realms of the Golden Core Stage."

"As for the last four floors, after you Cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage, you will be able to enter them for trials."

"As long as you can pass the corresponding levels of the Trial Tower, you can obtain good things. For example, Yanzhong, you should be at the Foundation Establishment Peak now, right? If you can pass the eighth floor, you can obtain a golden core formation pill or an essence condensing golden pill."

"If those at the Qi Refining 10th Layer pass the fourth floor, they have a chance to obtain essence spirit true liquid or a foundation establishment pill."

"As for the other levels, there are also corresponding resource rewards. If you pass the trials for levels lower than your cultivation base, you will not obtain any resources."

"Depending on your cultivation base, the amount of Spirit Stones required to open the Trial Tower will also be different. You will know for yourselves when the time comes."

Li Luochen certainly would not just let them pay the Spirit Stones required to open the Trial Tower; they must pay at least three times the amount of Spirit Stones.

The extra two times belonged to him, Li Luochen. After all, the resources that could be obtained from the Trial Tower were good resources, and it was normal to charge some corresponding fees.

Li Yanzhong and the others were pleasantly surprised. They had not expected that there were actually Medicinal Pills they needed inside. This was simply an unexpected joy.

Just as he was about to say something, Li Yanshu flew toward this side at an extremely fast speed and landed steadily in front of Li Luochen.

"Father, you are back? There are quite a few good resources on our islands."

"There are mostly Artifact Refining material veins, and there is even a Tier 4 material, Red Wind Copper, but that vein is too small, and it is estimated that not much can be mined."

"In addition to Artifact Refining Materials, we have also discovered a Spirit Stone vein. The specific size is not yet clear, but our Family can mine five hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones every year."

There was no help for this; there were currently only so many cultivators in the Li Family, and it was impossible for all of them to go mine Spirit Stones and various ores. They could not even keep up with planting spirit rice and Spirit Medicine.

Regarding this point, Li Luochen had no way to solve it either, but it was better not to touch the Spirit Stone vein if possible.

That item was a strategic resource. If a heaven-shaking great war really broke out outside, they would only be able to lock themselves on Hidden Dragon Island.

Although Li Luochen's System rewards could also allow them to rapidly increase their cultivation base, they also needed Spirit Stones to stabilize the Formation. At such a time, the Spirit Stone vein would be very important.

"Yanshu, how many Spirit Stone veins are there in total?"

Li Yanshu said seriously, "Father, in two years, we have discovered one Spirit Stone vein, and there are still some places that have not been checked, and we have not even carefully inspected the bottom of the islands."

"It is mainly because we do not have that much time. After planting spirit rice and Spirit Medicine, we have to frequently tend to the spirit fields and also Cultivate, so the time for exploring resources is pitifully little."

Li Luochen nodded slightly and said, "Not bad. It is indeed necessary to prioritize cultivation and farming. You have done very well."
