After Xiao Ting stepped into the upward tower door, he saw a spiral staircase rising behind it, and at the end of the staircase was another door.

Xiao Ting climbed up the steps with ease. When he passed the first and second floor trials before, he also went up the same steps, so Xiao Ting was not too surprised.

There were thirty-three steps in total. Xiao Ting walked up step by step and finally opened the door and entered the fourth floor of the trial tower.

The space on the fourth floor is a little smaller than the third floor.

It's normal to think about it. After all, this is a tower similar to a cone, so the higher you go up, the smaller the space inside it.

But even so, the room on the fourth floor is still fifty meters square.

But this floor is surprisingly peaceful. The room is lit with soft candlelight, as if it is an ordinary room, and there is nothing strange about it.

However, Xiao Ting did not relax his vigilance because of this.

But he still remembered that when he was on the second floor, he accidentally fell into Dao'er's trap and fell into an illusion, almost unable to wake up.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of snakes for ten years.

Therefore, the more peaceful and peaceful it was, and there seemed to be no danger, the more Xiao Ting became more vigilant. He even summoned Haoran's glazed armor first. At the same time, he raised his spiritual consciousness to its peak, and looked around with a pair of eyes vigilantly, trying to Find unusual places.

However, Xiao Ting seemed to be a little too vigilant this time. He stayed in the entire room for a full quarter of an hour, and nothing happened.

Except for the burning candle, which occasionally made a popping sound or two, there was no other sound.

Xiao Ting felt a little strange and asked quietly in his heart: "Queen Suo Suo, what is going on? Is this level of trial better than sitting in meditation?"

Suosuo said a little funny: "What zazen! You can think of it!"

Seeing that his joke was not clever, Xiao Ting scratched his head to relieve his embarrassment, and then said doubtfully: "Then what is going on at this level? It has been a quarter of an hour. Logically speaking, if there is any trial, , it should also appear at this moment, right?"

The sound of the lock is still smooth and clear.

"Maybe there won't be any trials on this floor! Go to the middle and take a look. There seems to be something there."

"Oh?" Xiao Ting heard this and walked to the middle of the room.

Sure enough, here, Xiao Ting actually saw a small pool.

It's not accurate to say it's a pool, because it looks like a pool, but it's only two meters square. And after careful observation, Xiao Ting found that the liquid inside was not transparent water, but constantly changing in various colors. A liquid that exudes faint energy fluctuations.

Xiao Ting looked at it for a long time, but couldn't figure it out. He didn't know what was inside, and he didn't dare to test it with his hands.

Xiao Ting looked around the pond and finally fixed his eyes on a pamphlet.

After thinking about it, Xiao Ting reached out and grabbed the booklet in his hand, opened it and read it.

After a while, Xiao Ting finished reading and said with some surprise: "So that's it. There are indeed many magical things in the world."

Suosuo asked curiously in the Soul Locking Hall: "What magical thing? What is it written in the pamphlet?"

Xiao Ting replied: "Just as you said, there are no trials at this level, but rewards!"

"Reward? What reward?" Suosuo asked curiously.

Xiao Ting said with a smile: "This booklet says that being able to reach the fourth floor basically means you have passed the trial, so I leave a pool of soul Gu liquid here as a reward for the descendants of the saint clan."

"Soul Gu liquid? Is it what's in this pool?" Suosuo said in surprise.

Xiao Ting nodded and replied: "It seems so. This soul Gu liquid is a rare item unique to the holy race. It can improve the compatibility between the Gu master and his own life Gu. More importantly, the Gu master can Put your own life Gu into the pool, let it fully absorb the soul Gu liquid in the pool, and make the life Gu grow similar to evolution, thereby improving the Gu master's cultivation in a different direction."

Hearing this, Suosuo couldn't help but sigh: "So that's it! This is a good thing! The Gu Master uses the natal Gu that is related to his own life to display many magical powers, and this soul Gu liquid can actually promote the evolution of the natal Gu. For a Gu Master, it is indeed the most suitable reward!"

Xiao Ting nodded, and then said helplessly: "This reward is good, but it is of no use to me! I am not a Gu master, and I don't have a natal Gu, so I can only look at this good thing. But there is absolutely no way to use it.”

Suosuo thought for a moment and said softly: "It's not impossible for you to use this thing."

Xiao Ting was startled when he heard this, and then said ecstatically: "You are indeed my Lock Queen! What other solution have you come up with? Tell me quickly!"

Suosuo smiled when he heard this and said: "Originally, you are a normal monk, and you have no way to deal with the soul poison liquid prepared for the poisonous insects, but it is a coincidence. You still have two things in your body now! "

Xiao Ting quickly asked: "What is it?"

Suosuo whispered: "Soul Locking Palace, and Granny Gu's natal golden snake Gu!"

Xiao Ting was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses: "You mean, you want me to use Granny Gu's natal Golden Snake Gu, Li Daitao Zhan, to absorb this soul Gu liquid?"

Suosuo replied: "Exactly! Originally, Grandma Gu planted her natal golden snake poison on you to monitor you and prevent you from doing anything detrimental to the saints, but she didn't expect that due to an unexpected combination of circumstances, It actually helped you!"

Xiao Ting frowned and said: "But this Golden Snake Gu is not my natal Gu. If I put it into this pool and absorbed the soul Gu liquid, it can evolve and improve its cultivation, but what does it have to do with me?"

Suosuo explained with a smile: "This involves the second thing I mentioned, the Soul Locking Palace! Through the Soul Locking Palace's suppression of the natal Golden Snake Gu, you can completely threaten it and let it convert the transformed Soul Gu. Liquid energy, through the Soul Locking Palace as a medium, is once again transformed into a pure soul that you can absorb. In this way, by running the Holy Soul Refining Technique, you can improve your cultivation by absorbing the power of the pure soul!"

Xiao Ting was overjoyed: "So that's it! This is really an unexpected gain! Having said that, I really want to thank Granny Gu!"

Having said that, Xiao Ting began to follow Suosuo's instructions and use the soul-locking palace's suppressive effect on the Gu insects to gently wake up the sleeping golden snake.

The natal Golden Snake, which had just woken up, had not yet understood the situation. It showed its sharp fangs and was about to attack Xiao Ting, but Xiao Ting easily used the power of the Soul Locking Palace to "educate" it.

After that, the natal golden snake Gu suddenly became much more honest. Then under Xiao Ting's spiritual communication, which was half a threat and half a promise, the natal golden snake Gu was released by Xiao Ting, and then put into the pool of soul voodoo liquid.

As the Golden Snake Gu entered, the originally calm Soul Gu liquid suddenly began to boil, and strands of strange energy began to flow along the Golden Snake's body, slowly seeping into its body, and began to slowly penetrate into it. Carry out promotion.

According to the agreement with Xiao Ting, the Golden Snake Gu did not take this huge energy as its own and use it to improve itself. Instead, it transformed it in a strange way into a pure energy similar to what Xiao Ting had absorbed. The power of the soul, through the medium of the Soul Locking Palace, turned into a colorful energy light filament, and was absorbed into the Soul Locking Palace bit by bit.

Under Xiao Ting's surprised gaze, the colorful rays of light slowly began to gather in the Soul Locking Hall, and gradually condensed into a small milky white light group.

It was the pure soul that Xiao Ting was familiar with!

“It really works!”

Xiao Ting pumped his fist excitedly.

The somewhat dangerous sound of locks and locks came again at this moment.

"Why, Xiao Ting, did you still have doubts about what I said?"

Xiao Ting immediately shook his head in denial: "How is that possible! I have always believed in Queen Suosuo's words! Now I just confirm your statement again!"

Suosuo snorted softly and said lightly: "That's great! I was originally thinking that you might have forgotten the taste of the soul lock, and I planned to let you experience it again. It seems like this , let’s leave it to next time.”

Hearing this, Xiao Ting broke into a cold sweat and sneered quickly, "How could that be possible? I have experienced the Queen's soul lock once, and I will never forget it!"

Just kidding, although the soul lock is not fatal, the tingling feeling that reaches deep into the soul still makes Xiao Ting scared and frightened!

Under Xiao Ting's expectant gaze, the soul Gu liquid in the pool was consumed less and less. Finally, half an hour later, all of it was absorbed and transformed by the Golden Snake Gu.

At this moment, a ball of milky white pure soul energy also appeared in the Soul Locking Hall.

This light group was two times smaller than the soul-purifying light group that was obtained every time the soul prisoner was released, but even so, Xiao Ting was very satisfied!

Looking at the golden snake in the pool that kept spitting snake messages at Xiao Ting, Xiao Ting smiled slightly and said: "Well done! Don't worry, I will keep my promise and return you to Granny Gu intact."

With that said, Xiao Ting thought, and took the Golden Snake Gu back into the Soul Locking Palace, letting it fall into a deep sleep. Xiao Ting's figure slowly disappeared on the fourth floor.

In the Soul Locking Hall, Xiao Ting's figure appeared out of thin air. After saying hello to Suo Suo, he stretched out his right hand and summoned the newly transformed pure soul light ball to his side.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ting sat cross-legged on the ground, activated the Soul Refining Holy Technique, and began to absorb the soul-purifying power.

The seven-colored stream of light rose from Xiao Ting's body again, flickering in and out as he breathed.

A milky-white beam of light connected Xiao Ting and the soul light group, and strands of soul-purifying energy were continuously absorbed into Xiao Ting's body. Through the tempering of the soul-refining holy technique, it was transformed into his cultivation.

After starting to practice, Xiao Ting discovered that the energy converted from the soul Gu liquid was far inferior in quality to the soul-purifying power stripped away by the soul prisoners in the Soul Locking Palace, and the energy in it was too messy, so Xiao Ting It takes more time to purify and purify it, so it naturally takes longer.

But fortunately, hard work paid off. After two hours of unremitting efforts, the small group of soul-purifying power was finally completely absorbed and transformed by Xiao Ting and became his own power.

After the last bit of soul power was absorbed into Xiao Ting's body, Xiao Ting suddenly opened his eyes.

An aura that was more than twice as powerful as before centered on him, raging like a hurricane, causing his clothes to flutter in the air.

Half a step to perfection!

Xiao Ting stepped directly from the late stage of the True Emperor Realm to the peak of the True Emperor Realm, only half a step away from reaching the perfection!

Feeling the extremely powerful soul energy in his body, Xiao Ting grinned.

This trip to the trial tower has finally yielded some results so far.

With a thought in his mind, Xiao Ting left the Soul Locking Palace and returned to the fourth floor of the trial tower.

Looking at the dried up pool, Xiao Ting couldn't help but smacked his lips, feeling a little unfinished.

"It would be nice if there was more soul Gu liquid. Maybe I can use this as an opportunity to directly reach the True Emperor Realm and complete it!"

Xiao Ting thought greedily.

However, he was just thinking about it. Then, he began to think carefully about how to get to the higher level of the trial tower, because he discovered that there was no portal to the upper level in the fourth level. !
