Chapter 122 Spirit Refining Tower? (1/2)

The next day.

The entire Gu City had become abuzz with excitement and activity as countless people flooded towards the center of the city. Today was the day the Gu clan opened its Spirit Refining Tower.

There was no one in the area who did not know of the wonders of the Gu clan’s Spirit Refining Tower. It was due to the existence of this tower that the Gu clan was able to specialize in Genesis Runes and have each member achieve high attainments in Spirit cultivation.

This was why numerous people would flock when the Gu clan opened the Spirit Refining Tower to the outside every year, evidently hoping to borrow the wonders of the tower to strengthen their Spirit to the next level.

The huge manor at the center of the city had opened its doors to welcome the guests that had come from all over.

Zhou Yuan, Yaoyao and the green haired girl called Luluo also arrived together as a group.

The trio followed the crowd, and eventually ended up at the center of the manor where an enormous black stone tower stood on an empty spacious land. Countless ancient patterns had been carved into the body of the tower, pulsing brightly like a beating heart.

“Is this the Spirit Refining Tower?” Luluo was brimming with curiosity.

Zhou Yuan frowned slightly as he stared at the black stone tower. He did not know why, but he could faintly feel that something was off.

While Zhou Yuan mulled over this feeling in his heart, a figure dressed in white arrived in front of the tower. It was Gu Lang whom they had met yesterday.

Gu Lang also caught sight of the Zhou Yuan duo, or to be more precise, Yaoyao. As for Zhou Yuan, the former’s gaze merely skimmed over him, evidently completely unconcerned about the latter.

Gu Lang smiled warmly at Yaoyao, before his gaze turned towards the crowd as a loud and clear voice rang out, “Everyone here should know that today is the day my Gu clan opens the doors of the Spirit Refining Tower to outsiders. The tower has the effect of tempering one’s Spirit, a point that I believe everyone here is already familiar with.”

The crowd fervently gazed at the Spirit Refining Tower.

Gu Lang smiled again when he saw this as he continued, “However, there is something I have to mention beforehand. There are certain risks in the tower, so I hope that everyone will be a little careful.”

However, the only thing everyone could see at this moment was the tower. Who could have possibly heard Gu Lang’s warning?

A faint smile was plastered on Gu Lang’s face, while a strange look flitted across his eyes.

“Open the tower doors!” Gu Lang loudly shouted, and the doors of the Spirit Refining Tower slowly rumbled open.

As the tower doors opened, a humming sound seemed to emerge from within the tower, a sound that made one’s hair stand on end.

Swish!

However, there was not the slightest bit of hesitation in those that were grasping the bronze tokens in their hands, their figures rapidly shooting forward the moment the tower doors opened.

Zhou Yuan did not move for the time being. Instead, his gaze look towards Yaoyao as he asked in a low voice, “How is it?”

Yaoyao’s gaze had been glued to the ancient patterns on the tower ever since they had arrived here. Upon hearing Zhou Yuan’s voice, her pupils seem to swivel for a moment as she replied, “I have a rough idea…” Her tone contained some interest as she continued, “Let’s go in first and have a look. I hope that my guess is not wrong.”

Zhou Yuan naturally had no objections. He smiled at Luluo and said, “We’ll be going in, you’re free to make your own decision.”

After finishing, he and Yaoyao moved forward together, dashing into the Spirit Refining Tower.

Luluo pouted as she watched their figures. “As if I’m afraid!”

Thus, she too followed without any hesitation.

...

After entering the tower, a vast inner space greeted them.

As the trio walked within the tower, it felt as if they were on a desert. From time to time. they would catch sight of some of the other figures that had entered.

Luluo’s large eyes continuously scanned their surroundings as she remarked, “I don’t see anything that can temper the Spirit.”

Yaoyao gently stroked Tuntun as she replied, “Wait a little.”

Not long after Yaoyao’s words faded, a faint mist suddenly began to fill the tower. A weak black hue emerged from within the mist as a faint humming sound spread.

Zhou Yuan suddenly frowned while observing the faint black mist. He could feel his Spirit shaking violently as if strongly drawn in by something.

The feeling was akin to a thirsty traveller seeing a stream and could not wait to throw himself in.

“It's the Spirit Refining Mist. Absorbing it will temper the Spirit!” Several ecstatic voices rang out in the distance. These individuals sat down straight away, and began urging their Spirit to absorb the faint black mist.
