Summoning Players into My Game-Chapter 423 - 264: Holy Land Prototype and the Bone Forging Realm of a New Era?
"Who wouldn’t say so? I’ve heard that this Hall Master is destined to become a figure on par with the City Lord in the future. With Red Moon Town as the headquarters of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, it might even become another city. Now is the best time to invest. Once the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall finds a large energy ore vein and relocates it, those who want to invest in Red Moon Town may not have the chance."
As people chatted, they quickly recognized Lin Qi, and as they spoke about him, there was both envy and admiration in their eyes, especially among the young people who had just become martial artists and many apprentices preparing to take the entrance exams for the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. Watching Lin Qi’s disappearing figure, their hearts were filled with excitement.
Now, Lin Qi, the hall master of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, has become a legend.
From an unknown figure in Chasing Light City, he has gradually developed step by step to now be on equal footing with figures like the City Lord, and the entire Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall can stand against a city.
This is no longer just a legend; it might as well be called a myth.
Because everyone has seen the power of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, various townships around, and even many forces from Myriad Stars City, are planning to settle in Red Moon Town, waiting for it to become another city in the future.
However, the tricky part about Red Moon Town is that they only rent and do not sell, which leaves many forces feeling helpless.
Red Moon Mountain, at the mountain’s peak.
"Is this the Cultivation Tower?"
Xia Ling looked at the spire reaching into the clouds, puzzled about why Lin Qi had constructed this on Red Moon Mountain.
The square tower built entirely of energy ore, it’s quite extravagant; not to mention it’s not very practical.
To create a practice facility for martial artists, one could just build rooms within the martial arts hall. Constructing this Cultivation Tower allows people nearby to soak up energy without even entering, which is very uneconomical.
Furthermore, the cultivation field made of energy ore depletes as it’s absorbed. Once the energy is completely absorbed, the whole tower becomes just a display, unlike building rooms in the martial hall where reconstruction is easier.
Constructing such a tall square tower, each rebuild after use is a big project.
It’s not just Xia Ling, previously a manager of the Phosphorus Fire Gang, who didn’t understand. Even Fluo, who supervised the construction, couldn’t comprehend Lin Qi’s extravagant behavior.
To rapidly construct the Cultivation Tower, they utilized tens of thousands of laborers, even involving quite a few martial artists.
Spending so much manpower and resources, if it’s merely for display, is really unnecessary, as a town’s power is entirely seen through its controlled force.
The Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall can nowadays devastate the Star Tower City’s army; regardless of how Red Moon Town develops, it will always be the top town for thousands of kilometers around, undeniable by anyone.
"Very good." Lin Qi looked at the Cultivation Tower shining under the sunlight, very satisfied.
Although he hasn’t officially activated the Cultivation Tower yet, the naturally emanating energy from the tower has already raised the energy density in the surrounding area to nearly match that of a small energy ore vein. If officially started, the effect would be much better.
If the energy density in a five-kilometer radius could maintain this level, it could significantly accelerate the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall’s number of martial arts disciples, and even benefit those in the Bone Forging Realm.
After all, this energy density is nearly catching up with a city’s central area, land fiercely contested among all tribes in the city. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Lin Qi didn’t explain further and entered the Cultivation Tower alone, leaving the others waiting outside.
As Lin Qi stepped into the Cultivation Tower, a system notification sounded in his mind.
System: Entering the Cultivation Tower, would you like to activate it now? (Note: Starting energy operations will consume three energy crystal stones daily; currently, the energy crystal stone reserve is 0.)
"Activate it, deposit the three hundred energy crystal stones I have into the Cultivation Tower."
Without hesitation, Lin Qi opened the metallic briefcase he carried, containing a small portion of the hundred thousand energy crystal stones given by City Lord Diroya.
Suddenly, the three hundred energy crystal stones inside the briefcase were instantly absorbed by the Cultivation Tower, and numerous golden runes emerged on the tower walls.
The runes flickered quickly as if infusing the entire Cultivation Tower with life, allowing Lin Qi inside to feel the pulse of life.
Immediately following, the Cultivation Tower resembled an awakening giant whale, starting to ravenously swallow nearby energy, causing energy within hundreds of kilometers to involuntarily converge towards the Cultivation Tower, making the energy within it grow increasingly dense.
In just a few breaths, the tower’s energy density more than doubled, and even people outside, like Xia Ling and others, could feel the rapidly densifying energy until the air’s energy stabilized, seemingly surpassing the city center’s energy density.
"What’s happening?" Estina watched the Cultivation Tower before her, full of shock.
She had clearly sensed something must have happened within the tower, or something had been activated, causing surrounding energy to surge.
Now this energy density rivals that of the cultivation room at the main house.
Knowing the main house’s cultivation room was built at a huge cost in the city center, if the energy outside the Cultivation Tower could match that room, while the main house’s cultivation room wasn’t accessible to everyone—only a few geniuses beside the family’s Bone Forging level had the privilege.
Now, she just needs to stand outside the Cultivation Tower to experience similar cultivation effects, which is simply incredible.
Yet Estina didn’t realize that compared to the true cultivation room inside the Cultivation Tower, outside was between night and day.
"Amazing! Amazing!"
After experiencing the third floor’s cultivation room, Lin Qi could only marvel.
One must admit, products from the system are surely top-notch.
The energy density of just the first floor’s cultivation room is double that of the outside, the second floor doubles once more, and the third floor doubles again on the second floor’s base, meaning the third floor’s energy density is eight times that of the outside.
Though the third floor only has one room, an eightfold energy density in it nearly approaches the effect of drinking a Type Three Energy Potion.
Unlike ingesting a Type Three Energy Potion, where energy is forced into your body and must be expelled to avoid danger, within the third-floor cultivation room, energy can be absorbed at will without the adverse effects of overconsumption.
This means that apprentices can safely benefit from something akin to a Type Three Energy Potion without side effects.
Cultivating or breaking through in this environment offers substantial assistance, even making Lin Qi consider attempting a breakthrough to the Bone Forging Realm.
However, he quickly suppressed such an impulse.
Attempting a breakthrough to the Bone Forging Realm is no small feat. Even with treatments available for injuries from such attempts, cellular self-healing isn’t infinite. The fewer failures, the better—stability is key, as he isn’t a player who can casually switch bodies.
While Lin Qi contemplated how to allocate Cultivation Tower resources and set usage costs for martial academy disciples, elsewhere, in the basic meditation room within the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall in Chasing Light City,
This basic meditation room was specifically remodeled by Lin Qi for players, dedicated to enabling better martial arts creation. It offers one room per person without partitions, and renting an hour costs five million points and five thousand contributions, as a means to recycle player points and contributions.
At this moment in the basic meditation room, Luo Wushang was enveloped in energy, with her hair and clothes autonomously flowing despite no wind; but upon opening her eyes suddenly, blood burst forth throughout her body, and she vomited blood as if it were free.
After several seconds, as the extraordinary state faltered without support and dissipated, Luo Wushang collapsed, facing death’s embrace with a rare smile on her blood-stained face.
"Finally, I’ve reached the entry level!"
