At night, in the dormitory, Li Jizong sat cross-legged on the bed, running the exercises and began to concentrate on cultivation.

After cultivating for a great week, the true qi in his body slowly stopped.

At this time, his cultivation was already in the middle of the Qi Spring Realm.

"It's too slow......" Li Jizong's face was full of disappointment.

If it were someone else, in such a short period of time, the cultivation had broken through a small realm, and I was afraid that I would be able to wake up with a smile when I slept. However, for Li Jizong, it is far from enough.

Before, his cultivation had grown at the rate of a great realm.

However, with the gradual improvement of cultivation, the pace has slowed down significantly. The reason for this is that the aura contained in the air is obviously not enough to support cultivation.

"Vientiane Gongfa" is a technique that can quickly improve cultivation, but it has extremely high requirements for aura.

In the past, this "Vientiane Exercise" created by countless top martial arts cultivators can be said to be a milestone in the history of martial arts. However, what no one expected was that as the aura dried up, this exercise would lose its value.

"Looks like it's worth going to the Aura Tower to give it a try. ”

It was getting late, and Li Jizong fell asleep.

I slept until dawn, and suddenly, I was awakened by a sharp knock on the door. Li Jizong opened the door and saw Zhang Zongyang standing outside the door.

"Boss, you woke up so early. Zhang Zongyang said with a smile on his face.

Li Jizong was sleepy-eyed, yawned, gave him a blank look, and said, "Isn't it that you woke him up, by the way, how is Nie Feng's situation now?"

"Looks pretty good, nothing out of the ordinary. Zhang Zongyang sighed: "This guy's life is really good, he can get your guidance from the boss, this guy was so arrogant, his attitude towards the boss was so bad, the boss you repay your grievances with virtue, it is really great, I am deeply fascinated by your personality charm." ”

As he spoke, his hands stretched out, an exaggerated expression on his face.

Li Jizong looked at the desire to kick someone, resisted this impulse, and said, "Say, find me so early, is there anything wrong?"

"I almost forgot to get down to business. Zhang Zongyang took out a waist card and said: "After I have been busy in the past two days, I finally brought back the long waist card, and as soon as I got it, I immediately sent it to you." ”

Li Jizong took the waist card, looked at it, and asked, "With it, can I go to the Spiritual Qi Tower to cultivate?"

Zhang Zongyang nodded and said, "Of course." ”

"That's good. Li Jizong was worried about going to the Aura Tower, but he didn't expect Zhang Zongyang to be so efficient, so he sent the waist card over. With this waist card, he directly entered the aura tower to cultivate.

"Boss, what are you doing here?" asked Zhang Zongyang.

Li Jizong put on his clothes and went downstairs as he said, "Go to the Spiritual Qi Tower to cultivate." ”

Zhang Zongyang looked at the figure of Li Jizong leaving in a hurry, and secretly sighed in his heart: Every inch of time and every inch of gold, seize every minute and every second to cultivate, boss, I really worship you so much, you are my beacon and my model for learning......

Suddenly, Li Jizong appeared in front of him and asked, "Do you know where the Aura Tower is?"

Zhang Zongyang: "......"

Why does the all-knowing and all-powerful boss in his mind act like an idiot when it comes to some simple questions that cannot be simpler? Zhang Zongyang was deeply puzzled by this.

After inquiring about the location of the Spiritual Qi Tower, Li Jizong immediately hurried there.

The aura tower is located on the hill behind the academy, and from a distance, a ten-zhang tall white tower appears in view.

The so-called aura tower is to gather and condense the surrounding aura through a certain spirit gathering formation. In later generations, as the aura became weaker and weaker, such formations as Li Jizong was already commonplace.

When he came to the aura tower, he showed his waist card, and the guards immediately let him go.

After entering, you can obviously feel that the aura inside is much richer than the outside. In the space inside the tower, the ground was filled with junior students, and everyone was concentrating on cultivation.

Li Jizong did not stop and walked towards the second tower floor.

The further you go, the higher the content of Reiki. However, the pressure on it has also increased. For some martial cultivators who are still shallow in cultivation, they are categorically unable to withstand this heavy pressure. If you don't do it well, it is easy to damage the bones.

There are six floors in the Aura Tower, corresponding to the six levels of martial arts.

Most of the people who cultivated at the bottom were first-year students, and there were also some second-year students who were weak due to their physique. When they reached the tower floor of the second floor, most of the cultivators in the space were second- and third-year students.

Li Jizong continued to climb up the stairs.

3rd, 4th, 5th...... It is said that with his cultivation, he should stay at the fifth level of cultivation, but his physique has been strengthened, and there is still great room for improvement. Therefore, he went straight to the top of the spire.

Just as he was about to enter, suddenly a big man reached out and stopped him.

"Stop!"

Each tower floor is guarded by a dedicated tower guard. Every day, a large number of students will come to cultivate, and many of them are overwhelmed, obviously they can only cultivate at a lower level of the tower, but they have to go up to another level in order to be successful. The consequences of doing so will not only not bring any benefit to cultivation, but will affect physical and mental health, and even lead to madness. The duty of these tower keepers is to keep out these students who are not self-sufficient.

The tower keeper glanced at Li Jizong, saw that he was so young, stretched out his hand, and said, "Show me your identity token." ”

"Do you want to see the token? Li Jizong casually handed over his crystal card to the guards.

"It's only the third grade!" the tower keeper said with a disgusted expression after checking the token, his pupils dilated, and he said with disgust: "The third-year student dares to run to the top of the sixth floor of the tower?

Often, students who don't make it up to their own level will dare to go to the next level at best.

Seeing that Li Jizong, a third-year student, dared to rush directly to the sixth floor, this is no longer a question of being reckless or not, but whether his brain is broken?

Standing at the entrance of the stairway, you will still bear a lot of pressure.

The tower keeper was also well-intentioned, for fear that Li Jizong would stay too long like this, causing the weight to crush his bones.

"Can't you go up?" Li Jizong asked curiously: "Why?"

The tower keeper frowned and said, "Don't you know this, you're only in the third grade, and your cultivation is so low, you can't bear the weight of this place at all, so let's go down quickly, don't hurt the foundation, it's too late to regret it." ”

Li Jizong suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”

The tower keeper was suddenly stunned. Even if the average third-year student was able to climb the sixth floor, he would already be overwhelmed and would collapse at any time. However, it was discovered that Li Jizong's spirit was relaxed, and he could even speak, which was incredible.

Even if a sixth-grader comes up, it doesn't seem to be so easy, right?

"You...... Didn't you feel sick at all?" asked the tower keeper curiously.

Li Jizong stretched his arm, shook his head and said, "No, look, I'll just say it's okay, let me in." ”

The tower keeper scratched his head, confused. It's not that he hasn't seen a student with a good physique, but the physique of the student in front of him is inevitably too good, right?

"No!" the tower keeper still stood in front of him, not letting him go.

Li Jizong said dissatisfiedly: "My body is fine, why can't I go in?"

The duty of the tower keeper is to prevent accidents from happening to some students because of their stubbornness, judging from Li Jizong's state, there is no such problem at all, and according to the regulations, he is allowed to enter and cultivate.

"It's not that I'm deliberately embarrassing you, but ...... Someone has already covered this floor, and you're late. The tower keeper explained.

Li Jizong looked into the door and said, "There's no one here." ”

"It's really empty now, but people will come soon, don't embarrass me, with your cultivation, in fact, even if you cultivate at the fifth layer, it's the same, why do you have to come here to cultivate?"

Li Jizong asked curiously: "Can the Spiritual Qi Tower still be booked?"

"Generally speaking, it is not possible to book, but this Qin Gongzi's identity is a little special, and he has the right to pre-order, okay, don't talk nonsense, if you have this time, you should go down and find a place to cultivate. ”

Seeing that the other party was also loyal to his duties, it was inconvenient to be embarrassed any longer, so Li Jizong had no choice but to turn around and return to the fifth layer.

The tower keeper on the fifth floor stood at the entrance of the building, heard the conversation between them, and knew that Li Jizong's physique was special, so he didn't say a word, so he let him in directly.

After Li Jizong entered, he took a deep breath and felt the existence of aura.

Then he found a corner and sat down quietly and began to concentrate on cultivation. However, after cultivating for a while, although the aura here was much richer than outside, it still couldn't meet the requirements of cultivation.

Of course, there is progress, but it is too slow.

At this current pace, I'm afraid it will take at least a day to improve a small realm. With the improvement of cultivation, the requirements for aura are also higher, and this fifth layer is destined to become chicken ribs.

It seems that we still have to go to the sixth floor and try our luck.

It's been about three hours here, and the guy who chartered the venue should have finished cultivating, right? So, he came to the top of the sixth layer of the tower again.

"Why are you here again?" said the tower keeper, frowning.

Li Jizong smiled and said, "The aura below is not enough, I think it's better to come here to cultivate, I don't know if the brother who chartered the venue has run out?"

"The aura of the fifth layer is not enough for you?" said the tower keeper in surprise.

It is very rare for a third-year student to be able to cultivate at the fourth layer, but I didn't expect that the other party would not be able to cultivate enough aura at the fifth layer. The tower keeper has been guarding the Spirit Qi Tower all day long, and he has seen any kind of genius boy, but this young man like this one in front of him is really the first time he has seen it.

Li Jizong said "um" and asked about the charter again.

The tower keeper smiled embarrassedly and said, "That'...... Qin Gongzi, he hasn't come yet. ”
