　　The　next　evening.
　　“Rumble…”
　　In the backyard of Mingjian Villa, when Xu Taiping threw the token he obtained when challenging the Tower Spirit into the almost dried-up pond, the rockery in the pond slowly moved aside, and a rusty bronze treasure chest slowly rose with a stone platform.
　　“Go and get it, Young Master！”
　　By the pond, Zhai Mo, who was standing on the left side of Xu Taiping, looked at Xu Taiping with a smile.
　　“This is what you deserve, Young Master.”
　　Gongshu Nanxing also smiled at Xu Taiping.
　　“Bang！——”
　　But at this moment, at the gate of Mingjian Villa, there suddenly came a deafening collision sound.
　　Several people turned their heads to look, and then saw huge flying stones falling from the sky.
　　However, these huge stones were all bounced off by the barrier above the villa.
　　“Fortunately, Old Zhang timely repaired the array barrier of the mountain villa. Otherwise, we would have to spare some efforts to deal with those demonic cultivators.”
　　Zhai　Mo　grinned.
　　Facing those flying stones falling from the sky, the three of them were not panicked at all. Instead, smiles appeared on their faces simultaneously.
　　“The fish has taken the bait.”
　　Gongshu Nanxing raised the corner of his mouth, and then looked at Xu Taiping and said：
　　“Young master, take the things. Old Zhang said before that the outer array can’t be repaired intact and can only hold on for a moment.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded and then leaped up, flying and landing on the stone platform in the middle of the pond.
　　“Click！”
　　The treasure chest seemed to be able to sense the smell of the person rewarded by the Mysterious Wilderness Great Emperor. As soon as Xu Taiping’s hand touched it, the box opened automatically.
　　However, what made Xu Taiping slightly disappointed was that there were only two not-too-remarkable things placed inside——
　　A jade slip and a piece of black iron token.
　　After all, it’s only the second level. It’s normal to have fewer and simpler treasures.
　　While comforting himself self-deprecatingly, Xu Taiping reached out and took the jade slip and the token out of the bronze treasure chest.
　　He first picked up the jade slip and took a look. He saw a line of small words written on it——
　　”I, Yu, accidentally gained some insights when observing the roars of lions and dragons in my childhood and casually created this set of soul cultivation techniques. It can be learned at the second level of the divine refinement realm. Once mastered, even ordinary cultivators in the sky-watching realm will find it difficult to resist.”
　　After reading the words on this jade slip, Xu Taiping’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he murmured in his mouth：
　　“It’s actually the soul cultivation technique personally created by the Mysterious Wilderness Great Emperor. If it can be used in the outside world, it would really be a great find.”
　　Immediately, he didn’t hesitate to inject true essence into the jade slip and then knocked the jade slip on his forehead.
　　In an instant, mysterious words began to pour into his mind like a tide.
After Xu Taiping let this divine sense completely integrate into his soul, he suddenly frowned and said:
　　“The cultivation method personally passed down by the Mysterious Desolation Great Emperor can’t be used in the Mysterious Desolation Tower？”
　　He felt a little regretful.
　　“Pat, pat, pat！ ……”
　　Just then, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from the back door of the courtyard.
　　Xu Taiping looked up and saw that Old Zhang and Nanxing and Yuzhu were running towards the pond.
　　“Young master, how are you over there？ There are already more than a hundred demonic cultivators outside the manor. The protective formation of the manor can only last for half a stick of incense at most.”
　　Old Zhang asked Xu Taiping at a very fast speed at this time.
　　“I have already got the thing here.”
Xu Taiping replied to Old Zhang, and then looked down at the black iron in his hand and said:
　　“That is… this token named… Azure Dragon Token, I don’t know what it does.”
　　“Azure… Azure Dragon Token？！”
Old Zhang was first stunned when he heard this, and then exclaimed a little lost his composure.
　　“Young master, quickly bring that token for the old man to take a look！”
　　He stretched out his hand to Xu Taiping a little anxiously and said.
　　“Okay.”
　　Seeing Old Zhang so excited, Xu Taiping couldn’t help but become very curious about the token in his hand. Immediately, he jumped up and leaped from the stone platform to the front of several people.
　　“Old Zhang, you recognize this thing？”
　　Xu Taiping asked curiously while handing the token over.
　　“Presumably… Presumably, you, Young Master, also know that if the number of people climbing the tower together in the Mysterious Desolation Tower is more than five, they will definitely be scattered when reaching the next level.”
　　Old Zhang took the token, carefully examined it, and asked Xu Taiping without raising his head.
　　“Well, I know this.”
　　Xu　Taiping　nodded.
　　Previously, in the first layer of the Mysterious Desolation Tower, there were actually other human cultivators still alive. The main reason why only the four of them came out together was that after there were more people, they would be scattered to different areas by the Mysterious Desolation Tower.
　　“But in the Mysterious Desolation Tower, there is a treasure called the Iron Armor Token. As long as the Iron Armor Token recognizes its owner, and other people swear a blood oath to the Iron Armor Token, they can bring nine people to the next level at the same time.”
　　“And after reaching the fourth layer, as long as the things assigned by the tower spirit are completed, the number of cultivators that the Iron Armor Token can take away at the same time will gradually increase.”
In the end, you can even assemble an army formation in the Mysterious Desolation Tower and only by an army formation can you pass the tests of the upper layers of the Mysterious Desolation Tower.
　　After confirming that the token was correct, Old Zhang said to Xu Taiping excitedly.
　　“Master Zhang, you mean, this Azure Dragon Token is one of those Iron Armor Tokens？”
　　After digesting Master Zhang’s words for a while, Xu Taiping picked up the token in his hand and asked.
　　“That’s right.”
　　Master Zhang nodded heavily, and then continued to introduce to Xu Taiping：
　　“Moreover, I once heard some old people mention that these four Iron Armor Tokens, the Azure Dragon Token, the White Tiger Token, the Vermilion Bird Token, and the Black Tortoise Token, will be of great use after reaching the ninth floor of the Mysterious Desolation Tower.”
