Chapter 1278: Chapter 612: Yangshan Builds the Spirit Gathering Tower

Three days later, a massive six-story building stood next to the original site of the Gouwu Pavilion.

Because it was on the mountain top, clearing the snow was relatively easy.

The fire attribute superpower users directly activated flames to melt the snow on the summit, then the construction team quickly began building the pavilion. Soon, a stone-based, cement-structured building was completed.

The building, similar to the Gouwu Pavilion, was surrounded by a large barrier.

At this moment, Liang Yuan was standing outside the barrier with Ren Jie and Fu Qibo from the research department.

Liang Yuan listened as Ren Jie and Fu Qibo introduced the barrier and the building.

Fu Qibo pointed at the earth-yellow barrier and said, "This barrier is made by us based on the ’Yellow Sands Endless Rune’ energy barrier."

"This skill is an earth attribute skill, reaching green quality, with strong defense power. Many earth attribute superpower users come to our research department specifically to purchase for cultivation."

Currently, the research department not only develops various rune technology and superpower equipment but also sells related rune skills.

Green quality skills are already very powerful. At least for now, among the many rune skills sold externally at Yangshan, green quality is the peak.

As for higher-level purple rune skills, the research department does possess them, but they are not sold externally.

Liang Yuan himself also mastered two types of purple quality rune skills.

One of them is the causal skill ’Damage Transfer.’

This skill has become an important ability for him to collect points. Almost all the machines produced in factories have this rune inscribed.

Machines in the slaughterhouse are also inscribed with these runes.

Every weapon has the ’Damage Transfer’ rune enhanced.

As long as these weapons slay mutant beasts, it is almost as if the damage was caused by Liang Yuan himself.

The second purple skill mastered by Liang Yuan was found in the Rune Bone obtained when he received the ’Parasite Species.’

This skill is called ’Electric Spark,’ belonging to the thunder attribute type skill, also of purple quality.

Liang Yuan has always been cultivating this skill, but rarely uses it.

Every purple quality skill actually has impressive power.

The research department naturally strictly controls the leakage of purple quality skills.

But green quality doesn’t have such limitations, other than the high requirement for points exchange, there are basically no other additional conditions.

The current ’Yellow Sands Endless’ is a green quality skill. Now the research department uses this rune to set up a barrier that envelopes the entire building.

"How is the defense ability of this barrier?" Liang Yuan asked.

Fu Qibo answered, "The defense ability of the barrier is related to the superpower stones input. The more abundant the energy provided by the superpower stones, the sturdier the barrier will naturally be."

"Is there an additional recognition function?"

Ren Jie replied, "We’ve already had Xiaodongjie enhance it with electronic recognition technology; only those holding the special talisman stones issued by our research department can enter."

Liang Yuan, surprised, couldn’t help but smile, "Is Dong Jie so capable now?"

Ren Jie laughed, "Although Dong Jie is youthful, he’s very studious. Learning a lot of knowledge by staying with Professor Li, combined with him being an electricity attribute superpower user, he can repair most electronic devices."

"Now in our research department, he’s a very formidable research assistant."

Liang Yuan was astonished, not expecting Dong Yan’s younger brother to have such a significant impact in research.

He curiously asked, "What is the main principle of this electronic recognition technology?"

"It’s the principle of matching phase of sound waves. We’ve set up special sound wave emitters inside the barrier, and only in a specific phase area, when matched with the sound waves emitted by our emitters in the same phase, will they meet the entry requirements."

"Once the sound wave phase differs, it sends an alarm immediately."

"Additionally, we’ve set a time effect function. The phase wave changes every day, and the issued runestone will also recognize these changes and make corresponding adjustments."

"It’s like a dynamic password. In this way, it can prevent most illegal intrusions."

"By the way, here is a specially configured highest authority runestone for you."

Ren Jie took out an earth-yellow runestone from his hand, with densely packed complex runes on it, leaving Liang Yuan sighing with emotion.

"Our research technology is also rapidly advancing."

"Let’s go inside and have a look."

He held the runestone, approaching the Yellow Sands Endless barrier.

Suddenly, the barrier slightly trembled, automatically opening a person-high entrance.

Led by Liang Yuan, Ren Jie and Fu Qibo followed him inside.

As the three entered, the Yellow Sands Endless barrier automatically restored itself.

Liang Yuan turned his head to look back, seeing that inside the earth-yellow barrier, it seemed as if countless yellow sands were swirling and whistling.

But after entering, no wind force could be felt.

Moreover, the temperature inside was considerably warmer compared to the outside.

"Are mutated sunflowers planted here? The temperature seems higher than outside."

Fu Qibo explained, "Yes, we planted mutated sunflowers to provide light and thermal energy inside the barrier."

"Additionally, due to the relatively low specific heat capacity of sand, the speed of absorbing and releasing heat is relatively fast, unable to effectively retain heat. It is warmer at noon, but cooler in the mornings and evenings."

"However, considering those who come here to use the spiritual energy vortex runes are all superpower users, this temperature difference should not be a problem."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Let’s go and check inside the building."

Ren Jie introduced at this time: "The entire building has six floors, with thirty rooms on each floor, and the top can accommodate one hundred and eighty people at the same time."

"In each room, a Spiritual Energy Vortex Rune was installed on the first floor, ten on the second floor, and none on the third and fourth floors yet. We plan to install them exponentially."

"In other words, there might be ten thousand Spiritual Energy Vortex Runes on the sixth floor in the future."

"Of course, this is just our plan, and it’s unlikely to be realized at the moment."

Liang Yuan understood that the Spiritual Energy Vortex Rune is a Green Quality Rune, and the difficulty of drawing it is not low.

Currently, the research department has recruited many Spirit Ability Users capable of drawing runes, but they also have other tasks to do daily.

It is impossible to have all of them focused solely on making Spiritual Energy Vortex Runes.

In short, the complete manufacturing of this Spiritual Energy Vortex building is not something that can be achieved overnight but rather a long-term project.

"Currently, the first and second floors are already open for public use," Ren Jie said with a smile.

Each floor with thirty rooms means thirty ’Spiritual Energy Vortex Runes’, while the second floor has ten times more, which is three hundred Spiritual Energy Vortex Runes.

This was done by the rune makers in the research department who rushed to complete it in three days, which wasn’t easy.

Liang Yuan said, "Make sure everyone gets some rest and balances work and rest."

Ren Jie laughed, "I’ll pass on your thanks to everyone."

"How is the efficiency of the spiritual energy amplification?"

Fu Qibo said from the side: "The test data has already come out, a single Spiritual Energy Vortex Rune on the first floor can double the spiritual power strength."

"Ten Spiritual Energy Vortex Runes can enhance the spiritual power strength tenfold, which is quite efficient."

Liang Yuan immediately said, "Let’s go in and take a look."

He led the three of them directly to the first floor, randomly chose a room, and went in.

Fu Qibo said, "On your left hand side is a button, press it to activate the room’s Spiritual Energy Vortex Rune."

Liang Yuan turned his head to look at the door, and sure enough, there was a switch-like device.

He reached out and pressed it.

With a click, the switch was activated, and suddenly the center of the floor had a rune that lit up unexpectedly.

Immediately afterward, he sensed the rapid gathering of spiritual energy around, forming a thin airstream vortex above the rune!

Liang Yuan walked over to the vortex and immediately felt that the surrounding spiritual energy had indeed increased significantly, and the superpower energy seemed much richer.

At this time, Ren Jie took out a Spiritual Ability Detector and handed it to Liang Yuan, saying, "You can take a look at the spiritual energy data here now."

Liang Yuan glanced at the data on the detector, and indeed, after approaching the vortex, the spiritual power strength here immediately doubled!

"The spiritual power strength doubling is impressive."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.

"Let me take you upstairs to have a look."

Liang Yuan nodded again and went upstairs to check it out.

In this room, ten [Spiritual Energy Vortex Runes]were working together, and the spiritual power strength increased tenfold!

Cultivating here once is equivalent to cultivating ten times outside!

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Very well, in the future, this place will definitely become a frequent spot for superpower users in Yangshan."

"What about the pricing?" he asked.

Fu Qibo shook his head: "I don’t know, we have sent the data here to the comprehensive department, and they will give a reasonable pricing range based on the current market price."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly, each department has its functions; the research department is only responsible for research, pricing and promotion are naturally studied and priced by the comprehensive department.

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "This building is only for cultivating superpowers, without accommodation and dining; we can set up another hotel to provide meals and accommodation for rest."

Fu Qibo nodded and said, "I’ll talk to the construction department about it later."

"Mr. Liang, this building hasn’t been named yet, please give it a name."

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "It is specially built to enhance everyone’s cultivation speed."

"People coming here are all focused on enhancing their main attribute, and its biggest advantage over other places is its high spiritual energy strength, able to gather more spiritual energy, so let’s keep it simple and call it ’Spirit Gathering Tower’."

Ren Jie and Fu Qibo exchanged glances, both feeling that this name fits the role of this barrier building, and nodded in agreement.

Thus the Spirit Gathering Tower was officially named, and it just awaited the market department’s research to be officially open to the public.

Unfortunately, the Spirit Gathering Tower can enhance the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy, but it cannot improve the efficiency of gene recombination.

In other words, this building can help others in Yangshan rapidly enhance their cultivation, but it can’t help Liang Yuan himself.

"Still need to continue accumulating more Points to see if there is a chance to exchange for something that can enhance gene recombination efficiency."

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed again.

During this period, Zhang Yujiang sent two more letters, and both Aftershock and Zhang Wenjing came personally, wanting to invite Liang Yuan to visit Cloud Mist Island to discuss matters regarding the Celestial Abyss channel.

However, Liang Yuan always refused to go to Cloud Mist Island, only saying that he was currently at a critical stage of cultivation.

Since seeing a photo on Lin Ya’s phone, Liang Yuan’s mindset gradually settled, and he regained his cautious nature.

Everything was still considered with his own safety as the top priority.

When he significantly improves his strength, he will then find a way to explore the so-called Celestial Abyss channel.
