Chapter Thirty: The Hall of Proofs (Seeking Red Tickets for Collection)

  Although the five peaks of Bi Xiao Gate each have some important institutions, such as the Dan Hall on Ziyan Peak and the Lianqi Temple on Qinglu Peak, the true core of Bi Xiao Gate lies in the Chuan Gong Pavilion and the Zheng Dao Palace, which are both located on Yunxiao Peak.

  Chuāngōng Gé, is a place for collecting and storing Gongfa classics.

  Although the name contains a "Gong" character, in fact, Gong Xiang is an extremely grand building. All Bi Xiao Men disciples must come here to learn their skills, divine powers and spells.

  The Chuan Gong Pavilion is divided into three layers. The first layer collects some ordinary cultivation methods, basic techniques, etc. All outer door disciples can enter the first layer to browse and learn these methods and techniques.

  The second floor collects the methods of Gongfa Shentong and so on, which belong to those high-level ones. Only inner door disciples and foundation-building monks can enter the second floor to learn these Gongfa Shentong.

  The third floor houses the true top-tier techniques, divine abilities, and forbidden arts of the Bi Xiang Gate. These are secrets that belong to the sect and are not to be transmitted, and only Golden Elixir stage elders can enter. Other disciples will not have access unless they are taught by a Golden Elixir elder or make significant contributions to the sect, in which case they may be rewarded with some techniques and divine abilities.

  Outer door disciples who complete some tasks assigned by their sect can also enter the second floor of the Transmission Hall.

  When Li Hui first entered the sect, he still wanted to learn some low-level spells in the Transmission Hall. After spending a day in the Transmission Hall and browsing through many classics, he completely dispelled this idea.

  The reason is simple. After reviewing those classics, Li Hui has already figured out that those low-level spells are just some street-like magic tricks.

  Similar to Fireball Technique, Earth Spike Technique, Quicksand Technique and the like, these are rarely seen among low-level cultivators outside. Knowing one or two of them is considered a killer move, but in reality, they are not very useful. In real close combat, the situation changes rapidly, who would have the time to cast spells?

  Li Hui saw the evaluation of these low-level spells in a classic book, and he couldn't help but laugh and cry. He had been quite interested in these low-level spells before, but now his enthusiasm was completely extinguished.

  Thinking about it, those low-level spells probably wouldn't even have a chance to be cast when faced with my swordsmanship. Even if I were to let them leisurely launch some fireballs or ice shards, they probably couldn't even harm a single hair on me.

  And these low-level spells that are sought after by outsiders are just like trash, piled up in a remote corner of the Transmission Hall.

  Li Hui then flipped through it with interest, and these low-level spells were indeed varied. For example, a firebird technique that was improved from the fireball technique could transform flames into the shape of a firebird, which could be controlled by spiritual power to fly in the air.

  Li Hui frowned, this is getting more and more like those street performers' tricks to deceive people. After flipping through some classics, it turned out that it was indeed the case.

  In ancient times, the cultivation of immortality was far more advanced than it is today, and cultivators were spread throughout the world. Even in some secular Daoist temples and Buddhist monasteries, there would often be one or two cultivators present.

  These Taoist temples and Buddhist monasteries are inhabited by some low-level cultivators who have given up on building their foundation and feel they cannot ascend to immortality, so they leave their sects to live in the mortal world and make a living.

  Some of these monks, based on some sects' magical powers and divine abilities, created these low-level magic spells. When these magic spells were revealed among ordinary people, they were immediately worshipped by those ordinary people as enlightened beings or living Buddhas.

  So from the origin, these low-level spells were indeed created as some tricks to deceive people. The practical value is extremely limited.

  The true magical powers can only be learned after reaching the foundation period. Those magical powers, when taken to a high level, indeed have the power to change heaven and earth.

  These classics also mentioned the sword immortal divine power of the ancient times, and highly praised it, believing that the sword immortal divine power is one of the top-level divine powers, and the sword immortal was also known as the strongest attacking immortal in ancient times. However, this sword immortal divine power has long been lost.

  This gave Li Hui full confidence in his path as a Sword Immortal.

  The only important place left is the Hall of Preaching.

  Zhēn Dào Diàn, as its name suggests, is a place where cultivators seek and verify the Great Way.

  Zhēn Dào Diàn is divided into two parts: one is "Chuán Dào Gé" and the other is "Yǎn Wǔ Tīng".

  In the Preaching Pavilion, senior cultivators often give sermons. Usually, Foundation Building cultivators explain some difficult points of cultivation to Qi Refining disciples. Occasionally, Golden Elixir cultivators also preach to Foundation Building cultivators. Cultivators of the same level sometimes gather in the Preaching Pavilion to exchange and verify their cultivation experiences.

  The martial hall is where cultivators increase their combat strength.

  During this period of time, apart from hiding in his own residence to cultivate the "Five Elements Reincarnation Technique" in the Yuanhua Xianfu, Li Hui would also come to the Zhendao Temple's Martial Arts Hall every day.

  Zhèng Dào Diàn, the name contains a "hall", is actually an architectural complex. At the entrance stands a tall and majestic gate, inscribed with four ancient and simple characters: "Míng Xīn Zhèng Dào".

  Li Hui walked in from under the archway and headed straight for the martial arts hall on the left.

  The martial hall is also a grand hall, and as you enter the gate, the first thing that catches your eye is a platform with a width of ten zhang. Then there are four corridors lined up in parallel, each corridor separated by ten zhang, these corridors divide the great hall into five parts, each part divided into ten rooms.

  In front of these corridors, there is a small stone house with a window on its left side.

  Li Hui walked up to the window and said, "Tang Shixiong, I'm going into the trial room." As he spoke, he placed ten pieces of low-grade spirit stones on the windowsill.

  "Room 7, Building C!"

  A mechanical sound came from inside the stone house, followed by an old hand handing out a jade token and taking away the ten pieces of low-grade spirit stones.

  In this stone house was an old man over seventy years old, still stuck in the Qi-refining stage, arranged here to manage these trial rooms. Perhaps it was because he had been waiting for too long, but this old man's temper had also become extremely reclusive, never speaking more than a word. Li Hui only knew that the old man's surname was Tang, and he was already accustomed to his temperament, taking over the jade symbol, he headed towards Room 7 of the Bing character.

  Entering the seventh room of the third character, this trial room is slightly smaller than the arena in the martial arts hall, eight feet wide and ten feet long. Several night pearls illuminate the entire room brightly. The room is empty, with only a "person" leaning against the wall at the left front entrance.

  Li Hui walked familiarly to the front of that "person" and grabbed his chest, instantly it was like opening a lid on his chest - it turned out that this "person" was just a human-shaped puppet.

  Li Hui patted the storage bag, took out ten pieces of low-grade spirit stones, and inserted them into the recess on the chest of the humanoid puppet. Suddenly, the humanoid puppet seemed to come alive, shrugging its shoulders and standing upright.

  He picked up the jade token and infused it with spiritual energy, and the jade token emitted a white light that poured into the puppet's body. Then he quickly pushed it open. The puppet suddenly came to life, drew a war knife from its waist and rushed towards Li Hui.

  Originally, the trial chamber on this floor was filled with human-shaped puppets. As long as these puppets were infused with spirit stones and activated by that jade token, they would burst forth with combat power equivalent to that of a Qi Refining stage cultivator.

  Insert one piece of Ling Stone, the puppet's combat power is equivalent to the first layer of Refining Qi. Li Hui inserted ten pieces, and the puppet's combat power was equivalent to the Great Perfection of Refining Qi.

  The puppets on the first floor can exert the power of the Qi Refining stage, those on the second floor are said to be able to burst forth with the power of the Foundation Building stage, and those on the third floor can even burst forth with the attacking power of a Golden Core cultivator! However, it's said that the puppets on the third floor can only be driven by using a huge amount of high-quality spirit stones.

  These puppets are lifeless fighting machines, once activated, they will only pick up the weapons in their hands and launch a crazy attack on the incoming people. In order to prevent the disciples who come to try from encountering danger, when they can't defeat the puppet, as long as they inject spiritual power into the jade symbol in their hand again, the puppet will stop.

  Seeing the puppet rush over, Li Hui also patted his storage bag, and the Qingming sword was already in his hand. Although he had obtained a high-quality spirit flying sword when he first entered the sect, Li Hui still preferred to use the Qingming sword, let alone the fact that the puppet's weapon was just an ordinary one cast from cold iron.

  "Hiss!"

  The puppet's war knife flashed with a dark light and slashed down towards Li Hui at an angle.

  "Good job!" Li Hui shouted lightly, his body twisting to avoid the knife as he stabbed towards the puppet's chest.

  "Pffft!"

  A dull thud, the Qingming sword seemed to be stuck in a pile of rubber, and the puppet only stumbled slightly before its war knife came crashing down again.

  Li Hui felt a bit helpless. This puppet was made of unknown materials and the Qing Ming sword couldn't even scratch it.

  Seeing the puppet attack with another knife, he hurriedly used Qingming Sword to block it.

  "Ding!"

  The swords clashed, and Li Hui felt a numbness in his tiger's mouth, and the long sword in his hand almost fell out.

  These puppets only knew some simple attack routines, but their speed was extremely fast, their strength was enormous, and they were almost indestructible. Li Hui also found it somewhat difficult to deal with them!

  Of course, this is under the condition that Li Hui does not use his internal spiritual power! If he uses his internal spiritual power, Li Hui's strength and speed will increase by more than double! In that case, this puppet would have no threat at all, but it would also have no trial effect on Li Hui.

  Li Hui came to this trial room with only one purpose: to practice his sword!

  "Hee hee hee!"

  Li Hui's long sword in his hand suddenly accelerated, and the footwork under his feet also cooperated with the swordsmanship of the long sword in his hand, stabbing at this puppet like a stormy rain.

  It's exactly the thirty-six swords from simple to complex!

  "Pffft! Pffft! Pffft!"

  The puppet's body was pierced by sword after sword, but it merely swayed back and forth, still without a single hair out of place. The war knife in its hand continued to slash at Li Hui with unrelenting speed, one stroke after another.

  Li Hui dodged the sword while occasionally using Qing Ming Sword to block it in critical moments, and at the same time, his sword continued to attack the puppet.

  Chest, left shoulder, thigh, and face... Li Hui searched for openings between the puppet's frantic dance-like slashes, striking at it with one sword after another.

  But the puppet was completely unfeeling, only occasionally retreating one or two steps when impacted by the sword's momentum, its war knife continuing to attack Li Hui relentlessly.

  ……

  Two hours later, the puppet suddenly stopped moving after slashing out with its knife, then put away its war knife and let its arms hang down, motionless.

  Li Hui's forehead also sweated fine beads of sweat at this time. Seeing the puppet stop, he also stopped his attack and put the Qingming sword into the storage bag. Sat on the ground to recover his strength.

  The twenty pieces of low-grade spirit stones that originally provided energy for this puppet have been depleted, so naturally the puppet will not move.

  About a minute later, Li Hui stood up, and there was no sign of fatigue on his body, but he looked refreshed.

  "These puppets have no consciousness, don't know fear, and are not bad in terms of physical body. Their speed and strength are also quite good, making them perfect for practicing sword skills! The only problem is that they consume too much spiritual energy!"

  Li Hu shook his head, feeling a bit helpless. After learning about the existence of the Proving Grounds in the Jade Tablet that was distributed at the entrance, Li Hui had been using this place as his own sword practice area.

  Although these puppets have no consciousness, their bodies are tough and fearless of death. Their strength is unmatched. Practicing sword with these puppets can almost be compared to fighting those fierce beasts in the Azure Sky Mountains.

  The consumption of this spirit stone is also astonishing, each time it takes twenty pieces of lower-grade spirit stones, and this is still the case when Li Hui, as a Golden Elixir cultivator's registered disciple, gives half of the spirit stones to that Tang surname elder. Ordinary disciples who come to collect are charged twenty pieces of lower-grade spirit stones.

  Only Li Hui, who left a large number of Ling Stones in the Yuan Huo Xian Fu, can practice sword with such luxury.

  Walked out of the trial room, handed that jade token in, and the old man with the surname Tang took it back without saying a word.

  "Hey, isn't this a famous disciple under Yun Xiao Feng's sect? Hehe, this sparrow has a broom stuck on its butt, but it still looks somewhat like a phoenix!"

  "Hahaha!" A burst of laughter.

  A strange and eerie voice came from the direction of the martial arts arena. Several disciples wearing green robes were blocking a few other Qi Refining stage disciples, one of whom was speaking in a strange and eerie tone.

  After entering the sect, Li Hui discovered that among the new disciples who had just entered the sect, those seven true spiritual root disciples looked down on them, these messy spiritual root disciples who relied on martial arts to enter the sect.

  There were often some minor frictions between these two groups of disciples, but Li Hui never bothered to pay attention.

  However, when Li Hui clearly saw the identity of the speaker, his idea changed.

  That hypocritical Qi Refining stage disciple was actually Han Hao!
