The Spirit Beasts eagerly settled into the inner world, their excitement palpable. Among them, the Alchemy Fowl was the most enthusiastic, immediately fluttering toward the various plant-type spirit beasts, immortal herbs, and other flora with boundless energy.
Over the past year, aside from the ever-expanding patches of Blue Silver Grass, several species of spirit bamboo had also taken root, growing quietly yet steadily within the inner world.
The little Alchemy Fowl wasted no time and was warmly welcomed by the plants as it diligently tended to each and every one of them. It moved swiftly, its instincts guiding it as it inspected, nurtured, and cleansed the foliage with expert care. Even Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor herself, found the creature endearing. She affectionately patted its head and shared a wisp of her spirit energy, a rare display of approval.
Meanwhile, Luna was perhaps the most excited of all, her curious gaze fixed on the Fire Spirit Chickens and Jade Emperor Bees. Of course, there was no danger—everything within my inner world existed in harmony, bound by my will, ensuring that no harm would come to any being within its domain.
The bees wasted no time getting to work. They instinctively understood their boundaries, knowing exactly what they were permitted to gather. Fruits from the abundant trees and water from the Life Spring Lake were fair game, but the immortal herbs remained strictly off-limits. Likewise, they refrained from using any of the poisonous plants for their honey-making process.
As for me, my attention was focused on my newly acquired Seven-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. I had already erased the three spirit rings it previously held, resetting it to its base state. Without hesitation, I placed an evolution pill into my mouth. The moment it dissolved, a surge of energy flooded my body, converging toward the pagoda.
Just as it had for Ning Rongrong, the tower underwent an extraordinary transformation, growing two additional layers. Now, it stood at an impressive nine stories, radiating an even greater aura of power.
However, my true reason for acquiring this spirit wasn't solely for its famed enhancement abilities. What truly interested me was its treasure-seeking function—an innate ability to locate and evaluate valuable materials, whether they be rare metals, crystals, herbs, or other precious resources. This unique trait was one of the key reasons behind the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's immense wealth. With this ability now in my possession, the potential for uncovering hidden riches was limitless.
As soon as the Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda materialized in my hand, it reacted instantly, trembling with excitement. It resonated with the countless treasures within my inner world—immortal herbs, rare metals, precious crystals, and even the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Strangely enough, it also reacted to me. My body itself, infused with so many rare abilities and energies, was practically a walking treasure trove.
"Let's see what you have for me," I murmured, bringing up the list of spirit ring abilities.
The first ability caught my eye:
Spirit Gathering Pagoda – Grants entry into the pagoda, which absorbs and condenses spiritual energy within its floors. The higher the number of floors and the spirit ring's age, the more potent the energy concentration.
"Oh?" My interest was piqued. This ability would be perfect for cultivation. Without hesitation, I chose it. The spirit ring behind me shifted rapidly—white, yellow, purple—before settling into a deep, solid black.
A moment later, my vision blurred as my body was drawn into the pagoda.
The first floor was suffused with thick, rich spiritual energy—at only one ring, it had already doubled in density. I could only imagine how potent the energy would become as I progressed. If six rings allowed me to reach the sixth floor, the spirit energy would be six times more concentrated. Given how abundant energy already was in my inner world, this would amplify my cultivation speed significantly.
I turned my focus back to the available abilities.
Purifying Pagoda – Grants entry into the pagoda, where it purifies the body of toxins, impurities, negative mental influences, and corruption. The higher the number of floors and the spirit ring's age, the stronger the effect.
That could be useful—not just for me, but for the girls as well. I was always cautious of the lingering darkness from my Dark Devilgod Tiger Spirit. This ability would help counteract that influence.
My second spirit ring formed, once again a solid black. A soothing light washed over me, and I felt a subtle shift—my thoughts became clearer, sharper. A staircase materialized, leading to the second floor, and I ascended without hesitation.
As soon as I stepped onto the next level, the spirit energy around me intensified, doubling once more. The clarity in my mind sharpened even further, like a fog I hadn't realized was there had lifted.
"Let's keep going." My gaze landed on the third ability.
Healing Pagoda – Grants entry into the pagoda, where it accelerates the healing of external, internal, and hidden injuries, replenishes blood, and restores vitality. The higher the number of floors and the spirit ring's age, the greater the healing effects.
This ability would be invaluable for others, especially during training or battles. While I already possessed an extraordinary healing factor, passive recovery was always beneficial.
The third ring joined the first two, once again turning pitch-black. A new sensation spread through my body—a light, refreshing feeling. It wasn't particularly impactful for me, but for others, it would probably feel like stepping out of a rejuvenating hot spring, paired with the energizing effect of a perfect morning brew.
With three rings secured and three floors unlocked, I knew I was only beginning to tap into the true potential of my Nine-Treasure Pagoda.
