Jiang Yan's Several Golden-Fingered Senior Experts Were Stunned
Qin Wangchuan gently stroked the smooth surface of the tower with his fingertips, as if feeling the ancient patterns on it, while his gaze remained calm as he looked inside the tower.
In the midst of this Deathly Stillness, the door at the very bottom of the Little Pagoda, crackling with electric light, opened silently.
A tiny, illusory figure, formed from pure soul power and crackling with purple electric arcs, slowly emerged.
It was Lei Shi.
His soul was solidified, and despite his undisguised shock, he still maintained some of the demeanor of a senior cultivator.
"This tower is unclaimed, and as for the Mysterious Thunder True Body, I passed it on to young Jiang, so for now... it's my turn to step forward."
Lei Shi steadied his soul voice, and with deep confusion and caution, cupped his hands and asked, "Fellow Daoist... if I may be so bold as to ask, how did you detect the existence of this tower?"
This pagoda is profound and extraordinary; its crafting techniques and core materials far exceed the scope of Middle Thousand Provinces.
And most importantly.
It has perfectly integrated into the host's Origin Source, and even ordinary cultivators with extraordinary cultivation Tongtian would not be able to sense its existence at all.
It's truly bizarre that such a precious treasure was discovered by a mere child.
Qin Wangchuan raised his eyes, his pale golden pupils sweeping over Lei Shi's questioning soul shadow, his tone as calm as still water:
"This tower itself does indeed possess some mysteries, but the world's methods of concealment are nothing to me."
His tone remained flat, as if stating a perfectly natural fact:
"Since we can 'see' it, taking it out is a simple matter."
"Now, can we talk?"
Lei Shi's soul trembled slightly. Qin Wangchuan's words seemed casual, but they made him instantly realize that the eyes of the young man before him were probably not ordinary, but rather belonged to some kind of Sacred Body!
Since he possesses Sacred Body, the power behind him must be extraordinary.
His last shred of hope and arrogance vanished completely, and he lowered his posture even further, displaying unprecedented respect:
"Fellow Daoist has keen insight; I, on the other hand, have been narrow-minded and ignorant."
"I, Lei Gang, will speak my mind without reservation."
We can't stay silent; everything's already in their hands.
The subsequent communication went much more smoothly, and even carried a hint of ingratiation.
Under Qin Wangchuan's intentional or unintentional guidance, the origin of this tower gradually became clear.
It turns out that this tower is called the "Seven Luminaries Spirit Nourishing Pagoda," Law Treasure that was lost from the Upper Thousand Provinces to the Middle Thousand Provinces.
It was originally a Lineage heirloom passed down through generations in Jiang Yan's mother's family.
It is not known for its offensive or defensive capabilities; its core function lies in nourishing the Divine Soul, concealing one's aura, and accelerating the passage of time within the tower, making it an unparalleled treasure for aiding cultivation.
Back then, Jiang Yan's mother had a premonition that her Lineage would forcibly take her back and possibly sever all karmic ties between her and the Lower Realm, and that it might even... be detrimental to Jiang Yan and his father.
With no other choice and with great reluctance, she took a huge risk and quietly sealed the "Seven Luminaries Spirit Nourishing Pagoda" and merged it into the body of Jiang Yan, who was still an infant.
This move was both to leave his son with an opportunity to secure his future and embark on the path to becoming a strong person.
This may well have planted a seed of hope for a future reunion between mother and child.
But she probably never expected that several High Antiquity Remnant Soul would be sleeping in this tower, and she never expected that her son's greatest secret and reliance would be so easily "taken" out and exposed to the light of day by a seemingly ordinary Green Robe Youth in a blue robe.
Listening to Lei Shi's narration, tinged with both sighs and reverence, Jiang Yan stood there dumbfounded.
Despite repeated inquiries, the elders remained silent about the origins of the Little Pagoda.
Why are you blurting everything out all at once now?
Qin Wangchuan nodded slightly after listening, showing no surprise.
He's Son of Luck.
Lei Shi observed his reaction, his heart growing even more apprehensive. He asked with increasing respect, "I just heard that you wish to borrow the <Mysterious Thunder True Body>?"
Qin Wangchuan nodded, his gaze sweeping over the other levels of the Little Pagoda, his tone calm. "Not entirely. I want this method. If any of you seniors possess other interesting books, secrets, or even High Antiquity accounts, not limited to cultivation techniques, you may all share them with me."
"Rest assured, I am not one to seize by force. I will certainly not treat you seniors unfairly."
"Given your current predicament, you must need Soul Replenishing Pill, right?"
Upon hearing this, the remaining Remnant Soul inside the tower became restless.
Soul Replenishing Pill! Eight-Revolutions Divine Pill! Extremely beneficial to the soul!
One pill is enough to replenish ten thousand years' worth of lost soul power!
"In that case, I will not refuse!" Lei Shi quickly bowed, suppressing a smile from the corner of his mouth, "Although there are no earth-shattering inheritances inside the tower, there are some High Antiquity tales and miscellaneous secret records, which will surely allow you to gain more than you expect..."
This has nothing to do with the Soul Replenishing Pill!
Lei Shi simply found the young man in front of him very pleasing to the eye, so he imparted some of his knowledge to him.
After Qin Wangchuan accepted the copies of the cultivation manuals, he casually stuffed the Little Pagoda back into Jiang Yan's body.
Jiang Yan was stunned again, and then awkwardly took his leave.
Even after leaving Guanyun Pavilion, Jiang Yan was still deeply shaken.
"Such an extraordinary item as the Little Pagoda, how could Eldest Brother not care about it? Does he have something even more powerful than that?"
As soon as Jiang Yan said this, the previously quiet seniors inside the tower immediately erupted into a commotion.
Elder Dan's voice rang out first, trembling with disbelief. "Fool! Do you know what Eight-Revolutions Divine Pill means? Such a pill is a treasure that all forces in the Upper Thousand Provinces would fight over. He actually wanted to exchange such Divine Object for a few copies of cultivation techniques, and he even promised five at once!"
The formation master continued, his tone filled with heartache. "Young man, your Eldest Brother's resources are probably far deeper than we imagined. This Seven Luminaries Spirit Nourishing Pagoda is Divine Object to us, but in his eyes it may really mean nothing."
Lei Shi concluded in a deep voice, his tone complex. "Remember this, what's truly terrifying isn't what he has, but what he 'doesn't need.' This detached state of mind is something only supreme powers can cultivate in their Successor."
The Remnant Soul spoke one after another, leaving Jiang Yan dumbfounded.
He then realized that it wasn't that the Little Pagoda wasn't good enough, but rather that the pills his Eldest Brother had taken out were simply too extraordinary.
I had just closed the door and taken a step when I saw a familiar figure in the distance.
"Senior Sister!" Jiang Yan quickly ran over and asked with concern, "How are your injuries?"
Tao Ziyan responded with little interest, but her gaze kept drifting towards the direction of the Guanyun Pavilion.
The conversation naturally turned to Qin Wangchuan.
"Who exactly is that Young Master?" Tao Ziyan asked softly, her eyes filled with undisguised curiosity.
Jiang Yan answered without any Jiexin, "You mean my Eldest Brother? His name is Qing Wangchuan, and he's Talisman Cultivator from a sect in Middle Thousand Provinces." As he spoke, his tone became tinged with admiration. "I only just realized that Talisman Cultivator can be this strong!"
Tao Ziyan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and repeated, "Talisman Cultivator?"
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, which then turned into a deeper inquiry.
