The Demon God Emperor
Ch. 332 - Go to the Pill Tower
The island did not have a protective formation as it used to be a gathering place for free cultivators and wanderers. Terapu, there were people from the Golden Palace on duty, forbidding cultivators from flying in the sky except the realm experts of the Soul Realm and above.
Thus, ordinary cultivators below the Soul Realm realm could only ride those giant elephants to enter the island. It was impossible for them to travel on foot because the island was too large and it might take decades to reach the Golden Palace.
Many cultivators on the island were at the late stage Soul Realm realm. Qing Shan no longer faked his cultivation realm because he would get into trouble if he continued to do so.
He then revealed his true cultivation realm, emitting the aura of a late peak Harmonic Realm realm, or so-called half-step Semi-Golden Realm realm. After paying five hundred spirit stones, he then climbed the giant elephant.
On top of the elephant's back, there is a box that looks like a mini house that can be occupied by several people. Qing Shan sat alone on a bench made of stone and a beautiful girl in the Realm of the Vein Gate served him respectfully.
“Master, is this your first time visiting this Peng Island? I am willing to tell you about the customs and activities of this island by paying only 1 spirit stone. ”
"Oh? Only pay 1 spirit stone?” Qing Shan laughed faintly and paid him off as it was valuable enough to be able to understand more about the island.
"alright. Sir, my name is Luo Yu. I will tell you that there are three influential forces on this Peng island....!!
The woman then told Qing Shan everything
“This island place is indeed the best place to cultivate. But, I don't know if my spirit stones are enough or not!" Qing Shan laughed bitterly. Right now, he could be considered richer than most early stage Soul Realm cultivators because he had nearly ten million spirit stones stored up..
Despite his wealth, he still could not get a place on the best floor of the Gold Tower that existed in the Golden Palace.
The Golden Tower is located inside the Golden Palace. According to the information Luo You said, the tower was a golden tower and inside, there were seven floors. On the first floor, time flowed at half the speed of time in the outside world. On the second floor, the speed of time was a quarter of the outside world. The time from the rest of the next floor is getting longer and slower.
The seven floors actually symbolized the seven cultivation realms. The first floor was for the Vein Realm cultivator. The second floor was for the Harmomis Realm cultivators. And only Gold Realm realm experts were allowed to enter the third floor. Same for the next floor.
However, there was an exception for an Alchemist Master who was in demand by the Golden Palace side Only an alchemist Master expert could receive preferential treatment. For example, a Four Star Alchemist Master could enter the fourth floor even though he was not a Soul Realm realm cultivator. As for a Lim Star Alchemist Master, it could enter the fifth floor even if he had yet to reach the Spirit Realm realm.
In other words, Qing Shan could only enter the second floor judging from his current cultivation realm. Spending four years on that floor was equal to one year in the real world. But he would be granted permission to enter the fifth floor if he used his identity as a Five Star Alchemist Master. One year in the outside world was thirty-two years on that floor.
If he were to spend approximately three thousand years cultivating within the tower, it would only be a hundred years for the outside world . Three thousand years was a very long time which would make it easy to reach the Spirit Realm. Perhaps he could even reach the Sky Realm.
And there was another thing, however, no one expert in the entire boundless sea region could stay on the fifth floor for so long. The reason was mainly because the price was too exorbitant.
Moreover, there were rules made by the Golden Palace's ancestors to prevent cultivators from cultivating on the lower floors.
After the woman Lou You I finished her explanation, she then sat down in her seat while Qing Shan pondered over her financial matters.
If he managed to break through the Golden Realm, his lifespan would increase and could live for another five hundred years. If he failed, he would have breathed his last in the Golden Palace.
“Jin Zhuo needed a hundred years to form the core of his soul. He will stay on the third floor for at least 10 years. While I will be cultivating on the fifth floor for eight years. To enter the fifth floor, I must first obtain the acknowledgement of the Golden Palace! Amu has to prove that I am a Five Star Alchemist Master.”
…
Ten days later, Qing Shan arrived at a town where he was again transferred aboard another elephant.
Fifteen days later, he reached another town and once again, he climbed onto another elephant to continue his journey.
A month later, he arrived at the final destination of his trip, Wu City!
Currently, Qing Shan had turned 20 years old.
"From now onwards, age is no longer a problem. This is the beginning of a new life in my cultivation path.!" Qing Shan said to himself.
Wu City was on the border of the Golden Palace was located! A ten thousand meter tall golden-painted building stood in the middle of the city. No doubt, it was the Gold Tower! In addition to the majestic tall towers, there were four towers in the north, south, east and west of the city, which were smaller in size. It was a pill tower.
All cultivators needed to be tested in one of the pill towers in order to register their pill refining level.
In a split second, Qing Shan set foot on the pill tower in the southern area. A beautiful female cultivator in the middle stage Harmonious Realm welcomed her arrival.
“Master, how should I call you? Are you here to register your purifying rate?”
"Yes. My name is Zhang En.”
"Oh. It turns out Mr. Zhang. May I know what your current rank is in pill refining? If you are a Second Star Alchemist Master, I will test you. If you are a Three Star Alchemist Master or higher, I should ask Elder Mu to test you.”
His eyes then observed Qing Shan from head to toe. Although he did not have a strong cultivation realm, he had sharp eyesight. He knew that Qing Shan was a Semi Realm Gold cultivator who intended to use the Gold Tower to cultivate with a glance.
That was because there were many cultivators like Qing Shan who came there every year.
By registering their pill refining level in the pill tower, the Alchemist Master could enjoy some benefits. Two Star Alchemist Masters can enjoy a 10% discount while Three Star Alchemist Masters can enjoy a 20% discount on the cost of entering the Gold Tower.
