Chapter 44: The Cultivation Tower
Zhan Chen stood in front of the tall cultivation tower, revealing a look of amazement.
As one of the most magnificent buildings of the Golden Elephant Sect, the cultivation tower is tens of meters high, with nine floors, and the whole body is golden, standing on the top of Dengyun Peak. Above the seventh floor, there are white clouds, and the clouds and fog around it are like a fairyland, which adds a lot of mystery to this tower.
Each floor of the tower is octagonal, and each corner of the tower is carved with rare beasts, which are shining with gold and beautiful.
It is said that the cultivation tower contains 108 cultivation rooms, which can accommodate 108 disciples to retreat and practice at the same time.
Every time there is a disciple in the sect who wants to accumulate cultivation for a long time, or break through the great realm, they will choose to come here for retreat.
Zhan Chen walked into the first hall, there was no cultivation room here, but it was for disciples who wanted to retreat and practice to go through the procedures for using the cultivation room.
The entrance hall was large and empty, and there was only one handling window, and in the middle sat a senior brother who was on duty, handling the formalities for the inner disciples who came and went.
Zhan Chen walked over and saw a sign set up on the side, which showed an introduction to the history of the cultivation tower and the merit points to be spent.
He curiously approached to take a closer look, and it turned out that the effect of the various layers of the cultivation tower on the increase in cultivation was not the same as the merit points to be deducted.
Specifically, there are three effects, of which there are a total of 54 rooms on the second to fifth floors. It can increase the cultivation progress of a martial artist by nearly three layers, and can be stacked with the effect of the elixir, which requires 3,000 experience merit points per day.
There are a total of 36 rooms on the sixth and seventh floors. It can increase the cultivation speed of a martial artist by nearly five layers, and it costs 5,000 experience merit points per day.
There are only 18 rooms on the eighth and ninth floors. It can nearly double the cultivation speed of a martial artist, and it costs 10,000 experience merit points per day.
Zhan Chen touched his backpack, which was filled with dry food and fresh water, as well as the Lingxiao Pill that the master had worked so hard to refine for his retreat, and couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, which effect to choose for cultivation.
"3,000 points doesn't seem to cost much, but the effect is not as high as 10,000 points!" Zhan Chen instantly made up his mind, came to the counter, and said to the disciple on duty there, "Hello, I want a cultivation room on the highest floor. β
The guarding disciple glanced at him and said, "The cultivation room on the top floor is full, you need to make a reservation. β
"What, this still needs to be booked?" Zhan Chen called.
"This brother, are you here for the first time? There are only 18 cultivation rooms on the eighth and ninth floors, if you think about it, it must be more monks and less porridge, many people are queuing up in advance, you can choose the middle-level cultivation room, the kind with 5,000 merit points a day, it's just a little more time, and the overall effect is not about the same?"
Zhan Chen thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay then!"
"How much time do you have to set?"
"62 days. "Zhan Chen wants to spend all his merits at once.
"Okay, bring me your Meritorious Service Medal. β
After deducting the merit points, Zhan Chen got a jade plaque, so he walked up to the seventh floor, came to the designated cultivation room, opened the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, he felt a very fresh aura rushing to his face, much richer than the Feihong Peak he was staying in. Bathing in the aura is like soaking in a hot spring, and even if you don't practice, you feel comfortable all over.
Zhan Chen's heart was filled with joy: "The cultivation tower is really extraordinary! Cultivating in this, I can quickly complete the accumulation process from the middle level of a martial artist to the high level of a martial artist. β
So he hurriedly sat down, swallowed a Lingxiao Pill into his mouth, and quickly entered the cultivation state, the rolling spiritual energy was swallowed into the body by the whale, and quickly turned into nourishment, nourishing the true qi in the body, so that they could grow rapidly.
Zhan Chen made a comparison, under the combined effect of the Lingxiao Pill and the Cultivation Tower, his cultivation speed reached nearly three times that of an ordinary inner disciple!
However, he knew very well in his heart that he was not the only one who was making progress, and he was not the only disciple with all kinds of resource advantages or adventures, and the path of cultivation itself was a process of natural selection and survival of the fittest.
Thinking of this, he worked even harder to carry his true qi, striving to maximize the effect of the cultivation tower, and time passed day by day in such intense cultivation......
At the top of the peak, the fog is continuous, and the aura is compelling. This is the exclusive cultivation center of the ten elite disciples, and there are luxurious courtyards built one after another, and their specifications are about to catch up with the sect elders.
The sect spared no effort in supporting elite disciples, as they were the most likely to give birth to martial arts powerhouses and become new forces to strengthen the sect.
In one of the courtyards, however, the atmosphere was somber. More than a dozen martial artist-level powerhouses gathered in the living room of a big house, what a big formation!
But at this time, they didn't dare to make a sound, and they all looked at the person sitting at the top - Wang Yin.
The top ten elite disciples, to a certain extent, have more say in the inner sect than the sect elders, and they are generally more enthusiastic about forming gangs and forming a large interest group by themselves, some of them are a few, some are as many as a dozen, or even more than twenty people, competing with each other.
And Wang Yin is one of them, he is good at using interpersonal relationships, grace and power, so as to gather many followers to work for him.
At this moment, Wang Yin's face was ugly, and he swept the people sitting down, and said: "Gather everyone here today, you must know what the so-called thing is, right? That is, Zhan Chen is not dead!"
When he said this, Wang Yin felt a sense of defeat for the first time, not that he had never failed in the past, but it was only a defeat to an opponent who was much stronger than him.
And Zhan Chen, who is only a beginner-level martial artist cultivator, can easily solve the small role of picking out a person at his bottom to easily solve it, but he escaped the game he set, and he also broke through the first order and reached the middle level of martial arts, which has to be said to be a great irony!
Wang Yin suddenly felt that his face was gloomy, and his voice suddenly raised several decibels: "Wang Jie is a middle-level martial artist, Yin Yanyan is a middle-level martial artist, and Gao Fa is a high-level martial artist of the martial arts, but these three people have died or disappeared inexplicably, but Zhan Chen has returned to the sect alive, can you tell me, is this why?!"
The dozen or so people below were silent, and they didn't dare to answer his question.
"What's wrong? I usually give you more resources and a better cultivation environment, but that's all you get? Which of you is willing to take another step and solve Zhan Chen's problem for me?"
Several of the martial artists under the seat were already eager to try.
At this moment, a discordant laugh came from the side, "Hahaha!"
Everyone looked at him angrilyβa young man sitting to the right of Wang Yin.
Dressed in a loose robe, his chest was haphazardly bare, half-reclining in his seat, and he kept raising the glass in front of the table and drinking, as if he didn't take everyone here in his eyes.
Someone even stood up, pointed to his nose and asked, "Lin Dong! You dare to be unreasonable to Wang Gongzi!"
Wang Yin gave the man a look, but scolded in his mouth: "Hong Bo! How dare you talk to Lin Gongzi like this? He is a distinguished guest I invited, not comparable to your group of wine bags and rice bags!"
The person named Hong Bo received Wang Yin's eyes, but he was shocked, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Lin Dong to apologize: "I'm sorry, Lin Gongzi, I was also excited just now and offended you." β
And Lin Dong didn't seem to appreciate it, and still drank wine as he should, which made everyone present, including Wang Yin, a little embarrassed.
After a long time, Lin Dong turned his head to Wang Yin as if he was not drunk, and said: "Wang Gongzi, I understand now, why did your plan fall short this time, it turned out that you sent such characters to carry out tasks, how can you not be defeated?"
"You!" almost everyone in the room slapped the table, stood up, and glared at him.
But Wang Yin scolded them with a cold face: "What do you all want to do?
"Childe, this kid is too deceitful!"
"What? My words don't work?"
Everyone had no choice but to suppress their anger and sit down.
At this time, he saw Wang Yin smile and said to Lin Dong: "Brother Lin, in your opinion, what should I do?"
Lin Dong sat up and said, "Instead of letting them make a mistake, it's better for me to go in person, there are only one person who has the strength!"
Wang Yin said with a smile on the side: "Brother Lin's ability can be compared to me, if Brother Lin is willing to make a move, he will be caught, and I will rest assured." β
Lin Dong also smiled smugly, listening very comfortably, so he was also polite to Wang Yin: "Promoted, Brother Wang is one of the top ten elite disciples, and his natural combat power is not trivial, I still have important things to do today, so I won't accompany you." When the prince is useful to his brother in the future, he just needs to speak casually. So saying, he picked up a pot of fine wine on the table, drank it and walked away.
When he walked away, everyone asked puzzledly: "Childe, why do you lower your body and salute Corporal Lixian to such a guy who has no one in his eyes?"
Wang Yin smiled slightly: "Rhetorically asked, which of you has the ability to move forests?"
Everyone was silent for a while, Lin Dong, as a strong martial artist, naturally had the capital to be proud of.
"Hmph, you don't understand, I only need to be temporarily wronged, I can drive such a strong man to my use, doesn't this show that I am much smarter than him?" Wang Yin smiled proudly.
Only then did everyone suddenly realize, and they all stretched out their thumbs and praised: "Childe has excellent wisdom and can bend and stretch, how can Lin Dong compare to that guy?"
Wang Yin listened to these greeting words, and his face stretched out.
