Chapter 122 Spirit Refining Tower? (2/2)

“Spirit Refining Mist?” Zhou Yuan was slightly stunned. He had heard of this mist before. It was extremely difficult to create and was considerably pricey. It was hard to believe that the Gu clan was willing to allow outsiders to take advantage of it.

Luluo also spoke out in amazement, “This is the good stuff.”

However, Yaoyao suddenly said, “Don’t breathe it in.”

Zhou Yuan’s heart shivered at her words, no hesitation whatsoever as he brought out his Genesis Qi to cover his body, completely isolating himself from the black mist.

The little ice-blue bird on Luluo’s shoulder also spit out a cloud of cold Qi that quickly wrapped around her.

Yaoyao waved her hand, summoning a ball of the black mist, and began observing with rapt attention. A short while later, she slowly said, “What a devious trick.”

Zhou Yuan hastily asked, “What’s going on?”

Yaoyao flicked her finger, dispersing the black mist as she explained, “This mist can indeed be considered a type of Spirit Refining Mist. However, a few extra ingredients have been added…”

“Once ingested, one’s Spirit will gradually become intoxicated, eventually making it impossible to free oneself.”

“Come, let’s continue walking.”

Yaoyao’s long leg took a stride forward, passing by figure after figure. Each and every one had their eyes tightly shut with a look of intoxication on their face, while a faint black mist lingered between their brows.

Zhou Yuan’s footsteps suddenly paused, his eyes filled with confusion as he looked towards a figure to their front. The figure’s face was expressionless, and there was a bloody hole between his brows.

Zhou Yuan said in a low voice, “His Spirit is gone.”

“What a bizarre Spirit Refining Tower.” Luluo’s face changed slightly. Something was very wrong about this place.

Yaoyao’s pretty face remained unchanged as she gazed at the black mists and said, “Looks like my guess is not wrong.”

“What do you mean?” Zhou Yuan and Luluo looked towards her.

Yaoyao smiled faintly. “There was definitely something wrong with the patterns on the tower from earlier. Now that we’ve entered, I’m even more certain…”

“I’m afraid that this tower is not a Spirit Refining Tower.”

“But.. a Spirit Devouring Tower.”

“No wonder the Gu clan members have strong Spirits that seem rather hollow and unconcentrated… it turns out that they have been relying on this Spirit Devouring Tower to cultivate.”

...

In the depths of the black tower.

Gu Lang stood in front of a mirror, watching the various happenings inside the tower that floated within.

There was also a black crystal ball in front of the mirror. The crystal ball was connected to the ground, black Qi churning inside it as Spirit energy continuously poured into it from all directions.

Behind Gu Lang were three stone platforms where three figures were seated, powerful Spirit ripples pulsing from between their brows.

Gu Lang grinned as he watched the scenes inside the mirror, when he suddenly recalled a certain beauty. He immediately tapped the mirror, causing it to glow as a certain image began to surface.

When the image appeared, however, the smile on Gu Lang’s face suddenly turned rigid.

He had just seen the Zhou Yuan trio slowly walking inside the mirror, not absorbing any of the ‘Spirit Refining Mist’!

At this moment, Yaoyao seemed to sense that they were being observed and suddenly lifted her head. The Spirit between her brows vibrated, dispersing the picture on the mirror.

Behind Gu Lang, the Gu clan leader and two elders also felt this disturbance and immediately rose to their feet, faces frosty as they demanded, “What’s going on?!”

One of the elders said in a grave voice, “That girl’s Spirit cultivation is not weaker than our own, why is she inside the tower?!”

Gu Lang’s expression had become pretty ugly. How could he have expected this? Why had the seemingly frail little beauty he invited suddenly turn into a ferocious wolf?

The other elder spoke up at this moment, “What do we do? They have discovered the secret of the Spirit Devouring Tower!”

There was a grim expression in the Gu clan leader’s eyes. Killing intent flashed within them as he regained his cool and said, “Since it’s already come to this… we’ll just have to make sure they die here.”
