Chapter 77 I'll take you up!

  The Warm Jade Building has a unique structure, made of a transparent jade stone, and is located in the center of the hall. Anyone who wants to climb the building will be seen by everyone.

  Climbing stairs is itself a symbol of strength.

  The Warm Jade Building has a large flow of people, and the stairs are not just one, but three in total, lined up side by side. At this time, there are already people climbing the stairs on both sides.

  Chu Cheng smiled slightly and went up the stairs.

  Feeling the pressure gradually increasing from the stairs, Chu Cheng was not in the least bit concerned. To him, these pressures were nothing more than a mosquito bite.

  Going up one floor, looking around, the space here is equivalent to the first floor, but the number of guests has decreased by about a tenth. Most of them are people with two bloodlines condensed, and there are also some who have condensed one bloodline and three bloodlines. The former are geniuses, while the latter are almost mediocre.

  At this time, a servant suddenly came over, bowed deeply to Chu Cheng and said: "This young master looks unfamiliar, is it your first time here?"

  Chu Cheng took a closer look and saw that the attendant was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but had already condensed a drop of blood essence. In a place like Shanyang City, he would be considered a genius and could almost represent Shanyang City in the Youth Hero Conference. But here, he was just an attendant.

  The King of Chu claims to be the center of the kingdom, and talents gather together, which is indeed not an exaggeration.

  But he didn't dare to be slow either, and hastily agreed.

  The waiter smiled slightly and beckoned with his hand. Another waiter brought over a tray, on which were placed a cup of tea and a cup of wine. The waiter said:

  "The humble abode is square in shape. On the first visit, a gift must be presented. The humble abode specializes in tea and wine. This tea is Qingye Kuzhu tea, and this wine is Lieyan Fengxue wine. Which cup will the young master choose?"

  "Then let's have a cup of Blazing Blood Wine."

  The waiter took the cup of wine and respectfully handed it to Chucheng: "Please, sir, have a taste."

  Chu Cheng took over the wine cup, slightly sipped it, and felt a fierce flame rushing into his body, then his whole body was hot.

  "Good wine!"

  Chu Cheng couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

  He was a connoisseur and knew that this wine was good, although it wasn't as good as "Shen Xiang Zui Long Wine", but it was still pretty decent.

  He took a mouthful and swallowed, instantly feeling his whole body heat up, all the vital energy in his body boiling over like it was on fire. However, he didn't feel any pain, instead feeling extremely comfortable. The vital energy inside his body seemed to have been refined as well, slightly condensed and purified.

  This wine actually has the effect of purifying blood!

  "Thanks!" Chu Cheng returned the wine cup to the waiter.

  The waiter took the wine cup and smiled: "Young master's cultivation is high, far above that of a minor character. Don't worry, you can go up to each floor one after another, and there will be special gifts on each floor. I'll take my leave."

  The waiter left calmly and unhurriedly.

  "How's that, not bad? Come on, let's keep climbing, I really want to see how many floors you can climb, you little brat!" Ling Die'er had a sly look on her face, her big eyes sparkling with amusement.

  The second layer, Chu Cheng drank a cup of icy spring frost wine.

  The third layer is a cup of gypsum wine.

  The fourth layer is a cup of monkey wine.

  Chu City took a deep breath and climbed up to the tenth floor.

  After he drank that special Lan Zhi Qing Ling wine, he felt the power of the wine, and compared to the one on the ninth floor, it was not at the same level, obviously more than ten times better.

  Ling Die'er chuckled: "This gift is also a level of nine layers. Little kid, the wine above the 18th floor is even better."

  As expected, when Chu Cheng reached the nineteenth floor, the cup of " Cicada Shell Meat Zhi Wine" given to him was no longer inferior to the "Qin Xiang Drunken Dragon Wine" he got from Lin Zhanggui.

  After this, it's another glass of fine wine, a higher level.

  By the 19th floor, although the internal space is still undiminished, the number of guests has decreased dramatically, to only about one-tenth of that on the first floor, fewer than a thousand people.

  And on the twentieth floor, there were less than nine hundred people.

  After this, each layer has a drastic reduction in the number of people.

  And when he stepped onto the twenty-second floor and drank that cup of "Flower Dew Sentimental Concentrate", Chu Cheng had already attracted a lot of attention.

  At the tender age of twelve or thirteen, he was able to set foot on the twenty-second floor and possessed strength that was no less than four drops of Blood Essence. Even in a place where geniuses gathered like the Chu Wang Du, this was still a rare occurrence! Only the sons of prominent families had such possibilities!

  And those who were thoughtful found that when Chu Cheng reached the 22nd floor, he didn't even break a sweat, as if he still had energy to spare. It was clear that his limit wasn't here.

  So, for Chu City, curiosity was even heavier.

  By the time he reached the twenty-second floor, Chu Cheng also finally felt that enormous pressure, and even he had to start taking it seriously.

  All this pressure is on the stairs, and once you step onto the stairs, the pressure disappears. Joking aside, everyone comes to drink tea and wine, not to enjoy the pressure!

  Going upstairs is just a symbol of strength and status.

  On the twenty-third floor, Chu Cheng slightly furrowed his brow, and relying solely on his physical body was already difficult to withstand. He began to mobilize the protective light of his treasure. Then he drank a cup of "West Wind's Last Glow", which was a rare strong liquor, ten times stronger than "Blazing Blood Wine".

  On the twenty-fourth floor, even the protective body light didn't work, Chu Cheng used half of his Xuanli to reach the twenty-fourth floor and drank a cup of "Yang Chun Bai Xue". Instantly, all the irritability disappeared, and a refreshing feeling lingered in his mind for a long time, as if even his spirit had been elevated and his soul tempered.

  To put it mildly, this cup of wine is worth at least 10,000 gold coins.

  On the twenty-fifth floor, Chucheng used all his Xuanli power, one step at a time, eighteen consecutive steps, and stepped onto the twenty-fifth floor. He took a cup of "Clouds Open Moonlight" from a servant with an unusual complexion and drank it in one gulp.

  In an instant, Chucheng felt that the consumed Xuanli was fully replenished, as if he had been baptized by the moonlight, his physical body was tempered, and the protective treasure light became more solid, with a tendency to form a light shield.

  This cup of "Clouds Opening and Moon Shining" is worth at least 100,000 gold coins.

  It was also at this time that the Butterfly Thief girl, Ling Die'er, finally drank her first cup of tea after arriving at Warm Jade Building. This meant that she had previously reached the 24th floor but got stuck on the 25th floor.

  Chu Cheng's eyes flashed with surprise.

  Because he clearly remembered that when he first saw Ling Die, although she was seriously injured, she could still guess that she had condensed only one or two drops of blood essence. Unexpectedly, in just over a month, her progress was so rapid!

  And judging from her expression, although she was extremely exhausted, sweating profusely and gritting her teeth, it was clear that she had not yet reached her limit. Presumably the 26th floor could also be struggled through.

  Using the Blood Pupil Technique to take a look, inside her body, there were actually already six drops of blood essence. To be able to ascend to the twenty-fifth floor with six drops of blood essence, it was clear that her blood essence was extremely refined, and her cultivation technique was not ordinary either. At the very least, it was on the same level as the "Divine Brave Dragon Technique".

  "Cut, what are you looking at? Are you surprised by this girl's strength? Hmph!" Ling Die'er gnashed her teeth a few times, then took the cup of "Cloud Light Wind Tea" from the servant's hand and drank it in one gulp.

  She then closed her eyes. Half a stick of incense later, all the Xuanli in her body had been replenished, and she was restored to her peak state.

  "This girl feels extremely comfortable, one punch can kill a tiger! Little kid, come again!" Ling Die also stopped calling herself "old mother" and started using "this girl" instead, but her way of addressing Chu Cheng remained the same.

  On the twenty-fifth floor, there were less than a hundred guests, and most of them were over seventeen or eighteen years old. Those who were fifteen or sixteen years old were rarely seen, and those under fifteen years old were even fewer.

  At this time, Chu Cheng and Ling Die'er both looked surprised, whispering to each other.

  "Who are these two? Which family's children are they, to be so formidable?! The girl is fine, probably 14 or 15 years old. The boy, however, is probably only 12 or 13!"

  "Hmm, that girl seems to have come a few days ago and reached the 24th floor, I remember it clearly. That boy is probably here for the first time, doesn't seem to have any impression at all, looks like he's not from the royal capital!"

  "Could it be one of the Three Great Cities' people? Or someone from a certain large city? The Youth Hero Conference is about to take place, perhaps they're here to participate in the Youth Hero Conference!"

  "It's possible... you say he can't compare with that little madman from the Shen family?"

  "This... is quite difficult, right? That little madman from the Shen family, although possibly even younger than this youth and not yet twelve years old, has already condensed eight drops of essence blood. Moreover, with the strength of those eight drops of essence blood, he reached the 27th floor! You know, the higher you go, the harder it is to ascend!"

  "It's also mysterious..."

  Chu Cheng's ears perked up and he heard these words. He thought to himself, "That 'Shen family's little madman', who exactly is he? How can he be so fierce?"

  But his footsteps did not stop, and he continued upstairs.

  The staircase from the twenty-fifth floor to the twenty-sixth floor also has eighteen steps.

  As Chu Cheng's foot stepped onto the first step, a strong sense of pressure suddenly came, and Chu Cheng felt that his body was pressed down by a huge boulder, almost unable to breathe.

  "Blood, come!"

  A low hum, Chu City finally began to mobilize its entire body's essence and blood.

  Under his mobilization, the essence and blood in his body began to boil, and the protective treasure light burst out of his body, shining brightly, with a hint of red light, which was the essence and blood light.

  Then, Chucheng stepped onto the first step.

  He then lifted his left foot and stepped onto the second step, feeling the pressure increase by at least a thousand times, or even more. However, Chu Cheng gripped his hands tightly and stepped up.

  The third step, the fourth step...

  One step at a time, but Chu Cheng's footsteps slowed down gradually.

  He took one breath to climb up the first step. However, he took ten breaths to climb up the ninth step!

  Gasps of amazement echoed through the air.

  By his side, Ling Die was drenched in sweat, stumbling with each step, gritting her teeth, every move extremely difficult, and her body swaying from side to side, somewhat unstable.

  But she still climbs!

  Chu Cheng smiled secretly and thought to himself that a great man shouldn't be weaker than a woman, so he continued upwards.

  When she climbed up to the thirteenth step, Ling Die'er lost her balance and one foot stepped into empty space, just about to fall backwards.

  At this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed her arm and pressed him down hard, stopping in his tracks.

  Turning his head, it was Chu Cheng.

  "You..." Ling Die'er opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

  Because she knew very well how difficult it was for one person's strength to support two people's bodies!

  "What's wrong with you? Don't you want to get on?" Chu Cheng panted heavily, saying impatiently.

  "But...," Ling Die'er thought you'd be very tired like this, and might not even make it up.

  "But Chu Cheng coldly said: 'What buts! Calm down, hold your breath, I'll take you up there!'"
