After returning, Xiao Ye washed up and changed into clean robes, and then had a hearty drink with Yu Fang, Li Wufeng, and Long Shaojie.
“Second Brother, your elixir is truly amazing.
In such a short time, my injuries are almost half-healed,” Xiao Ye praised.
“Of course, this kind of elixir costs a hundred points at the Treasure Pavilion.
An ordinary outer disciple has to complete a task just to trade for one.
If I hadn’t received the Son of County’s reward, I wouldn’t have exchanged for it,” Li Wufeng said.
“Sigh, Second and Third Brother, you both have reward points, but last time Fourth Brother and I did a task together, we barely got a hundred points,” Yu Fang said enviously from the side.
“Big Brother, who told you to be so lazy? fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Not to mention Third Brother, even Fourth Brother is about to break through to the Innate Realm, but you?
How are you going to take on tasks with lots of points without enough strength?” Li Wufeng teased.
“Hehe, in life, one must enjoy the moment.
I don’t have such high aspirations; as long as I can pass through the Puppet Tower and become an inner sect disciple before I’m twenty-five, that’s enough,” Yu Fang replied with a grin, unfazed by Li Wufeng’s teasing.
“With that attitude, it’s more likely you’ll become a fat pig than pass through the Puppet Tower,” Li Wufeng sneered.
At these words, Yu Fang was furious, shaking all his fat and glaring at Li Wufeng, “Damn it, Second Brother, are you looking for a beating?”
“Hmph, we’ll see who beats who!” Li Wufeng rolled up his sleeves, ready to throw down at any moment.
“Big Brother, Second Brother, don’t fight,” Long Shaojie hurriedly intervened to stop them.
Xiao Ye’s lips curled into a slight smile.
Yu Fang and Li Wufeng loved to bicker, but the more they quarreled, the closer their bond became.
One could only say that these two were genuine and unpretentious.
However, hearing Li Wufeng mention the Treasure Pavilion made Xiao Ye’s heart stir.
He had quite a few points on hand and should be able to exchange them for many treasures at the Treasure Pavilion.
“Once my injuries are fully healed, I’ll go check out the Treasure Pavilion,” Xiao Ye thought to himself.
After the four brothers finished drinking, Xiao Ye returned to his room, sat on the bed, and contemplated the scenes within the Puppet Tower.
“There are a hundred puppets equivalent to the late-stage Innate Realm Third Level on the third layer.
Other outer disciples would need to at least break through to the Innate Realm Fourth Level to possibly make it through.”
The Innate Realm Fourth Level is a threshold.
Once crossed, the innate true qi within the body will liquefy, undergoing a qualitative change.
However, this threshold is very difficult to overcome.
“Possessing the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique, as long as I elevate my cultivation to the late-stage Innate Realm Third Level and refine my physical body to achieve one tripod power, I should be able to pass through.
This is a huge advantage,” Xiao Ye mused.
According to his calculations, meeting these conditions, along with the aid of the Time Tower, would require a year and a half of diligent cultivation.
It’s important to note that, to date, the fastest record for passing through the Puppet Tower is four years, so this speed is quite astonishing.
“It would be great if the Treasure Pavilion had treasures to help me quickly break through,” Xiao Ye couldn’t help but anticipate eagerly.
As for materializing the Flame True Intent, he realized he couldn’t comprehend it in the short term and had to put it aside for now.
Currently, his strength was in a period of explosive growth, so wasting time on this would be unwise.
Xiao Ye then stopped overthinking, focusing on recovering from his injuries and cultivating.
It has to be said that the benefits brought by cultivating the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique are immense.
Xiao Ye’s physical recovery power became very strong, and his injuries were fully healed in just half a month.
During this time, Xiao Ye’s cultivation improved significantly, but he still had a long way to go before reaching the mid-stage of the Innate Realm Second Level.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ye heard some startling news from Yu Fang.
Ever since Xiao Ye’s previous display of strength in the Puppet Tower, giving his cohort of outer disciples immense pressure, the number of people moving about their valley had decreased as everyone retreated for seclusion and training, preparing to challenge the Puppet Tower.
The most crazed among them was Bai Meng.
Unconvinced after learning Xiao Ye had surpassed his record, he began challenging the Puppet Tower almost daily, ending up severely battered every time.
Finally, just yesterday, he defeated five puppets on the second layer, reestablishing himself as the holder of the highest record among the newbie disciples, causing a stir across the outer sect.
Moreover, Bai Meng arrogantly claimed that Xiao Ye could never surpass this record again.
This was tantamount to issuing a challenge to Xiao Ye.
Although not a real confrontation, it was still quite attention-catching.
Whether it was Xiao Ye, known for his weak physique, or Bai Meng with his abundant acupuncture points, both possessed strengths unattainable by most new outer disciples, even surpassing many veteran outer disciples.
The clash between these two peculiar individuals left everyone wondering who was stronger, eagerly anticipating the result.
When Yu Fang relayed this news to Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye merely gave a cold smile and paid no attention, finding the showdown boring in his view.
Half a month in the outside world equated to ten months on the Time Tower’s second layer.
After intense cultivation, let alone defeating five puppets, he was confident in defeating six.
Bai Meng saw him as an opponent, but Xiao Ye never considered Bai Meng worthy of his attention.
What he wanted was to break through the Puppet Tower in the shortest possible time, not waste time on such matters.
Xiao Ye’s lack of response led to speculation, with rumors claiming Xiao Ye must be afraid of losing to Bai Meng and was hiding away.
Some even speculated that Xiao Ye must have used some bizarre trick to reach the second layer of the Puppet Tower, questioning how he could have achieved it with his physique.
“That Bai Meng is utterly despicable.
He’s probably the one spreading those rumors, and now many are waiting to see Third Brother as a joke,” Yu Fang and Li Wufeng said, faces full of anger.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ye remained calm and left the valley where the newbies resided, heading out.
“Treasure Pavilion!” Following the map in the disciple handbook, Xiao Ye quickly arrived at a tower.
This tower was built atop a fog-shrouded mountain peak, resembling a palace in an immortal realm, majestic and grand.
Moreover, Xiao Ye could sense a mysterious aura.
Many outer disciples were coming and going from the Treasure Pavilion, and seeing Xiao Ye, they immediately looked at him with peculiar expressions.
Presently, Xiao Ye was well-known among the outer disciples.
Amidst the gaze of many outer disciples, Xiao Ye stepped inside fearlessly.
The interior of the Treasure Pavilion was vast, with dozens of people lined up in a long queue.
At the front of the line sat a Silver Robed Elder, the Treasure Pavilion Elder responsible for exchanging treasures with points for outer disciples.
Xiao Ye queued up.
“Elder, I want to exchange for a Wind Spirit Pill.”
“Elder, I want to exchange for a Hao Yuan Pill.”
…
Outer disciples continued to present their points tokens respectfully.
The Treasure Pavilion Elder deducted points and handed over the treasures.
“Elder, I want to exchange for an Eight Apertures Pill.”
A young man walked over proudly, catching everyone’s attention.
More people showed envious expressions.
Xiao Ye’s heart was stirred; it seemed the Eight Apertures Pill he received as a reward from the Son of County was quite precious indeed.
Sure enough, a flash of surprise appeared in the Silver Robed Elder’s eyes, and he said, “Eight Apertures Pill, worth a thousand points.
Hand it over.”
Swish!
The young man handed over the points token.
After the points were deducted, he cheerfully received an Eight Apertures Pill.
“Sigh, the energy contained in the Eight Apertures Pill is equivalent to a month of hard work for an Eight Apertures Martial Artist.
If only I could exchange for one,” said two outer disciples ahead of Xiao Ye.
“What’s an Eight Apertures Pill?
Getting enough points to exchange for a chance to enter the ‘Chongyang Secret Realm,’ that’s impressive!” an outer disciple said.
“Are you kidding?
Only inner sect disciples can frequent the Chongyang Secret Realm.
For us outer disciples, staying two days in the Chongyang Secret Realm costs ten thousand points.”
“Let’s not even mention any outer disciple being able to produce ten thousand points; even if they could, who would want to spend it?” another outer disciple said in astonishment.
Xiao Ye was intrigued, what kind of place is this Chongyang Secret Realm?
Staying two days costs ten thousand points.
That’s outrageous.
Moreover, he didn’t find any information about it in the disciple handbook.
Xiao Ye quickly listened in on the conversation.
“Tsk tsk, the density of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the Chongyang Secret Realm is much greater than outside.
Even someone with only three acupoints would cultivate at a pace comparable to an upper-class talent in the Chongyang Secret Realm; spending ten thousand points is worth it.”
“Sigh, for those of us who only manage to accumulate two thousand points after a year of struggling, contemplating entering the Chongyang Secret Realm is just a pipe dream.
Once we become inner sect disciples, we’ll have free access, won’t we?”
At this point, the two changed the topic.
Hearing their conversation filled Xiao Ye with great joy.
Chongyang Secret Realm!
It seemed this time he had come to the right place!
With the Time Tower, his cultivation speed was already astonishing, and if amplified by the Chongyang Secret Realm, he was confident in tempering his physical body to reach one tripod power in the shortest time.
At that point, with just the power of his physical body, he could rival a late-stage Innate Realm Third Layer martial artist.
Adding his cultivation, he would have no opponents among the outer disciples, and passing the Puppet Tower wouldn’t be a dream.
The most crucial aspect is that the Time Tower’s second layer’s time flow speed is twenty times slower than the outside world!
This means others would need ten thousand points for two days in the Chongyang Secret Realm, but for him, it would be like staying for forty days, worth two hundred thousand points.
Only an idiot wouldn’t seize such an opportunity.
Compared to the Chongyang Secret Realm, pills like the Eight Apertures Pill were utterly insignificant.
At this moment, Xiao Ye made up his mind.
“What do you want to exchange for?” the Treasure Pavilion Elder asked when it was Xiao Ye’s turn.
“Lord Elder, I want to exchange for a chance to enter the Chongyang Secret Realm.” Xiao Ye’s words rendered the entire Treasure Pavilion silent.
