Chapter 7: Tower Of Nine Heavens

Qianxue and Lin Xiao walked together without talking until they reached in front of a massive stone plate. Few things were engraved onto it, forming a sentence.

"Tower of Nine Heavens," Qianxue muttered in disbelief.

Lin Xiao looked down and read further.

[Owner: Lin Xiao]

[Strength: 1st Level of Ancestor Qi Realm]

[Tower Level Opened: 1st]

[Time Ratio: 1:10]

[Available Facilities: Spiritual Garden, Pond of Life, 1st Level Library, Bottom ten rooms in cultivation tower]

[One time reward: 1x Dragonia Fruit Seed, 10x Cultivation Hastening Pill, 5x Small Revitalising Pill]

"One time rewards… how do I get them?" Lin Xiao focused on the reward portion. As he thought of it, a few things fell in front of him out of nowhere.

He quickly picked them up. They were precisely the items as written on stone plate. There were fifteen pills, 10 in one vial and 5 in another. And there was a tiny seed in another container.

Lin Xiao didn't have any idea what they were and what they could do. Fortunately, an extremely knowledgeable goddess was standing beside him.

"Qianxue, what are these?" Lin Xiao waved the vials in front of her.

Qianxue had calmed down by now. As she saw the waving vials in her vision, she cast an indifferent look at Lin Xiao for still calling her Qianxue and then focused on the items.

"Cultivation Hastening Pills, they are High-Tier 3rd Grade pills that aids in cultivation. It increases the efficiency to absorb Qi from the atmosphere by about ten times for a day. But it only works on people with cultivation bases below Emperor Qi Realm."

"Small Revitalising Pills, they are Mid-Tier 4th Grade Pills that can heal a mortal from any disease. Even if their limbs are cut off, they can grow them. Well, for mortals, it is like a dream."

"As for this Dragonia Fruit Seed, even I don't have any idea about it."

Qianxue recounted. Definitely, as a powerhouse in Divine Realm, she knew of these items. But hearing that even she didn't know about Dragonia Fruit, Lin Xiao curiosity was piqued.

Lin Xiao looked at the items in his hand and nodded: "Hmm, thank you. But that means none of them is of your use."

Qianxue, who heard this, was quite surprised. She thought, 'Is he thinking about me?'

In Divine Realm, everyone fends for themselves, so it was an infrequent occurrence for her just now.

She misunderstood.

Lin Xiao subtly wanted to say that since they aren't of her use, he'll gladly take them.

Judging by her expression, Lin Xiao also understood that me misunderstood him, but he didn't clarify anything and simply smiled at her.

He then asked: "Also, it seems you know where we are right now. Can you tell me, please?"

Seeing him ask with such a sincere face, Qianxue didn't know how to decline. She could only reply: "According to what I've read in ancients texts, this place or rather this treasure, your black sphere, is called 'Tower of Nine Heavens'. It is ranked second in Sacred Treasure Ranking."

"Sacred Treasure Ranking?"

"Hmm, these Sacred Treasures aren't manufactured, but rather, they were born alongside the universe. There were a total of five of them. Four of them were used by ancient cultivators and gods throughout the years… all of them have owners at one point or another… except this Sacred Treasure."

"You mean I am the first owner?" Lin Xiao frowned. If he is the first owner, that means even Qianxue wouldn't have much knowledge.

"Seems like it." Qianxue pursed her lips and shook her head, secretly quite jealous. First, he got Heretic God's Legacy, then he has Primordial Yang Body and now he even got a high-level Sacred Treasure. Isn't he a bit too lucky?!

"Do you know anything more about it?"

"Aren't you the owner? Why don't you know?" Qianxue asked back, slightly annoyed.

"Eh? I didn't get any information or anything. How would I know?" Lin Xiao pleaded his innocence.

Qianxue couldn't help but sigh. "How could someone like you even have so much luck?"

"Hey, what do you mean by someone like me?"

"Don't bother, when I entered your sea of consciousness, I saw your recent memories. Isn't your head still green?" Qianxue's lips curled a bit.

Lin Xiao understood what she was talking about. He wanted to protest that the predecessor wore the green hat, not him, but he couldn't.

Seeing his silence, Qianxue was satisfied. She began: "I've read that the Tower of Nine Heavens mainly revolves around dual cultivation. It has nine levels, each providing better facilities and rewards than the previous one. You increase the level by dual cultivating with others."

Although Lin Xiao was really interested in this Sacred Treasure, when he heard Qianxue talking about dual cultivation without batting an eye, he was impressed.

'Is this woman's heart really made of stone? Shouldn't she be blushing and fidgeting around, or at least be a bit embarrassed?'

Qianxue was most definitely embarrassed. She simply has monstrous control over her body and expression. That's why Lin Xiao couldn't see anything other than her usual cold face.

She was too good at masking emotions. It would take quite some time before Lin Xiao could successfully differentiate between the subtle changes she undergoes.

"Dual Cultivation, huh? Wait… Tower of Nine Heavens never had a master. Is it because cultivators look down on dual cultivation or something?" Lin Xiao theorised.

"Not really. The reason why Tower of Nine Heavens never had a master… its because the Treasure Spirit rejected every one." At the end, Qianxue cast a strange gaze at Lin Xiao. She recalled his arm length pole and understood why he was chosen.

"Treasure Spirit… then why don't we see it?" Lin Xiao ignored her strange look.

"How would this queen know? If it doesn't show itself, that means it doesn't want to."

"Makes sense. Let me try still… Hey treasure spirit, can you show yourself?" Lin Xiao shouted.

Silence.

"Maybe it doesn't acknowledge you completely?"

"Whatever, let's go look at these facilities."

"Don't order me." Qianxue snorted and turned her face away.

Lin Xiao shrugged nonchalantly and went ahead by himself.

Seeing Lin Xiao going alone with no intention to ask her again, Qianxue secret gritted her teeth. 'This mortal… is infuriating!'

Sometime later, Lin Xiao arrived by the spiritual garden. The garden was large; it was around a thousand square feet.

At the entrance, there was another stone plate similar to the earlier one, just a bit small.

[Spiritual Garden]

[Time Ratio: 1:50]

[Effect: Can grow any medicinal plant, irrelevant of its condition to grow. Cannot be used for cultivation.]

After reading the 50x multiplier, Lin Xiao was secretly delighted. And its effects were amazing too.

By now, Lin Xiao has already understood that he was in cultivation orientated world. And he knows how vital the medicinal plants are in the path of cultivation!

He saw that Qianxue was walking towards him, but he was more interested in exploring this Dragonia Fruit.

Without waiting or talking, he stepped inside the Spiritual Garden.
