Reincarnated As a Fox With System-Chapter 982: Conversation With Water Guardian!

Nine Water pearls floated from Tang Li Xue’s palms toward the Water Guardian.

After checking all nine water pearls for a few moments, Water Guardian nodded its head in satisfaction and said to Tang Li Xue: "Yes, all of the nine water pearls are unscathed."

"These water pearls are fragile, so they must be handled with care. Since you can find all of them without damaging them, it means you are a meticulous, gentle, and caring person. You have passed my trial." The Water Guardian praised Tang Li Xue.

Cold sweat soaked Tang Li Xue’s back and forehead.

Tang Li Xue secretly felt thankful to Little Loki and the others for not accidentally ruining the fragile water pearls.

In fact, if Tang Li Xue herself, who was looking for the nine water pearls, most of those water pearls might not be intact anymore right now.

After Tang Li Xue got the Water Guardian’s acknowledgment, she immediately established a close connection with the Water Floor of the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda].

There was a massive difference between before she obtained the Floor Guardian’s acknowledgment and after she obtained the Floor Guardian’s acknowledgment.

Before she passed the trial and obtained the Floor Guardian’s acknowledgment, she could feel that the Floor Guardian had absolute control over their respective floor, and the Floor Guardian could kick her out of the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] at any time.

But after she passed the trial and obtained the Floor Guardian’s acknowledgment, it means she had become the master of that Floor Guardian and obtained a higher authority than the Floor Guardian to control their floor.

Tang Li Xue also began to understand that each floor actually has different functions.

For example, the Earth Floor could be used to trap the enemies, while the Water Floor could be used to heal the injuries if she dived into the water.

Despite that, Tang Li Xue also felt strange that the power of these Floor Guardians and the effects of each floor could be said to be very weak.

The healing effect of the Water Floor was almost negligible, while the Earth Floor’s trapping maze could easily be broken by Xi’er before.

It was as if they were almost running out of power.

Before Tang Li Xue could ask about that to Water Guardian, Water Guardian had already said something to Tang Li Xue first in a pleading tone: "The next floor is Wind Floor. Wind Guardian may be mischievous and annoying, but it is not evil. I hope you can be more patient when you face Wind Guardian."

"Wind elemental represents freedom and unfettered, but Wind Guardian is trapped in this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] instead, so it is only natural that it feels lonely and bored. Wind Guardian is... only a poor child, so I hope you can treat it more kindly than the rest of us." Water Guardian explained to Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue felt really sorry for Wind Guardian after she heard Water Guardian’s explanation.

"So, can I just let Wind Guardian take a walk out of this place after I became the owner of this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda]?" Tang Li Xue asked Water Guardian curiously.

Water Guardian smiled gently at Tang Li Xue and praised her again: "As I expected, you are really a kind and caring person."

But Water Guardian shook its head and stated: "Unfortunately, we cannot get out of this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda]. It can be said that we, the Guardians, are the weapon spirits of this pagoda. We have already been bound to this pagoda."

Tang Li Xue frowned deeply and felt that something was strange, so she asked: "It was said in the monument outside that this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] was an immortal treasure, so how could it trap its weapon spirits inside it?"

"I mean, many treasures in the Heavenly Treasure Ranking List also have weapon spirits, but their weapon spirits can get out from the treasures, and even help their owner fight against enemies. So, how could an immortal treasure like this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] be inferior to them, right?" Tang Li Xue expressed her confusion.

Water Guardian shook its head again and muttered: "I do not know it clearly either. Actually, we are not the true weapon spirits of this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda]."

Tang Li Xue: "?!"

Tang Li Xue was dumbfounded by Water Guardian’s sudden revelation.

"Wait, what?! What do you mean that you are not the true weapon spirit of this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda]?" Tang Li Xue asked Water Guardian in a curious tone. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Water Guardian stared Tang Li Xue with a solemn expression and told Tang Li Xue truthfully: "That is right. Grandmaster Nie Jun accidentally found this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] when it fell from the sky like a falling star, but it had already been damaged so badly, and there were no weapon spirits inside it."

"However, it could also be said a blessing in disguise because there was no way for Grandmaster Nie Jun, who was still a mere mortal at that time, to subdue this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda], if it still had a weapon spirit bound to it."

"Grandmaster Nie Jun rose rapidly thanks to this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda], and after he managed to reach the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, he tried his best to gather the best materials in order to repair this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda]."

"At that time, he also gathered all of us, the five elemental spirits from five different elements, and bound us to this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda]." Water Guardian concluded its story.

Tang Li Xue immediately understood from Water Guardian’s story.

In short, the five guardians of this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] were actually not the real ones, but they were gathered by Grandmaster Nie Jun when he tried to repair it.

Water Guardian hesitated for a while before it continued to say truthfully to Tang Li Xue: "When Grandmaster Nie Jun found the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda], it was filled with countless cracks as if it could fall apart at any time. Even the immortal energy contained inside the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] seeped out continuously from it."

"The source of the power of this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] was an unknown crystal. Grandmaster Nie Jun decided to call that unknown crystal, Immortal Crystal."

"After Grandmaster Nie Jun reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, the immortal energy contained in the Immortal Crystal was completely exhausted. That was the main reason why Grandmaster Nie Jun tried to repair the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] as soon as possible at that time."

"He also replaced the exhausted Immortal Crystal with nine highest-grade Formation Cores instead, but even the purest spiritual energy contained inside the highest-grade Formation Cores could not completely replace the immortal energy from Immortal Crystal, so..." Water Guardian suddenly ended its words and sighed helplessly.

"So what?! Stop dragging and tell me clearly about it?!" Tang Li Xue urged Water Guardian impatiently.

Water Guardian continued to speak after Tang Li Xue urged it: "In short, even the nine highest-grade Formation Cores could not sustain the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] for long because the purest spiritual energy from the nine highest-grade Formation Cores was still far from comparable with immortal energy."

"You must have already realized that the effects of this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] and the strength of Guardians were quite weak, right? The reason for that was because we were almost running out of spiritual energy."

"Even though we had already tried our best to be thrifty, but after thousands of years, the spiritual energy contained inside the nine highest-grade Formation Cores was already almost exhausted." Water Guardian concluded its explanation.

"So, I was right. This [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] was almost running out of gas." Tang Li Xue muttered while frowning deeply.

Tang Li Xue still did not know anything about Formation Core yet, but she could guess from its name that it should be something like the source of energy.

"Wait a minute... If I became the new owner of this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda], does that mean I have to look for the new nine highest-grade Formation Cores to replace the almost exhausted Formation Cores for it to function properly again?!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in disbelief.

Water Guardian blushed and lowered its head in embarrassment. It did not even dare to stare at Tang Li Xue anymore.

Tang Li Xue turned her slender body around while saying in a desperate tone: "Goodbye ~! It is nice to meet you, but I have changed my mind. I suddenly do not want to be the owner of this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] anymore."

Water Guardian panicked when it saw Tang Li Xue heading towards the stairs leading to the first floor.

"Wait, stop~! I know it may be hard to find the new nine highest-grade Formation Cores, but I can promise you that this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] is absolutely worth it. Five different floors have their own respective functions, and they would be able to show their true power after you replace the Formation Cores." Water Guardian hastily tried to persuade Tang Li Xue.

"First floor, Earth Floor, can be used to trap the enemies."

"Second floor, Water Floor, can be used to heal yourself or your injured teammates. It can also detoxify any poisons and cleanse any curses."

"Third floor, Wind Floor, can help you track or spy on your enemies."

"Fourth floor, Fire Floor, can be used to kill the enemies."

"Fifth floor, Lightning Floor, can help your training. Not only can lightning from the Lightning Floor temper your entire body, including your dantian, meridians, and soul, but it will also increase your comprehension. It will also increase your resistance to lightning, which would be extremely helpful for you to face Heavenly Tribulation." Water Guardian blurted out the function of each floor in one breath.
