Su Chen glanced around and smiled. "One day outside, a hundred years inside? Interesting."
"System, what do you think of this little tower?"
The system fell silent for a moment.
[This is not something that should exist in the Immortal Realm.]
Su Chen looked surprised. "Oh? Looks like this little tower has quite a background."
[If you had not appeared, this little tower would likely have fallen into the hands of a Child of Fortune later on.]
Su Chen was surprised once again. "You mean this is a Child of Fortune's golden finger?"
[Yes.]
Su Chen pondered for a moment, then smiled. "Interesting. Looks like someone is laying out a scheme."
With that, he looked up into the void. "Little tower, right? I know you have a spirit. Come out, and let's talk."
Time ticked by, but the surroundings remained quiet.
Su Chen nodded. "All right, you're not coming out? Then there's no need for this little tower of yours to exist."
With that, he opened his palm, and a terrifying power began to gather. Space began to shatter bit by bit, and the whole world began to shake violently.
Whether the little tower had panicked or not, a voice came from the void. "Don't, don't, don't!"
The next moment, a streak of light suddenly stopped in front of Su Chen.
The light faded, and a little girl emerged. She wore a red dudou, and her face was round, with a tiny mouth and little cherry-like lips. She was truly adorable.
She looked at Su Chen, her eyes full of wariness.
Su Chen looked at the little girl and withdrew his hand. "Are you the little tower's artifact spirit?"
The little girl nodded without speaking.
Su Chen said, "What do you know? Tell me."
The little girl shook her head. "I don't know anything."
Su Chen raised an eyebrow. "You don't know?"
As he spoke, he held out his hand again.
Seeing this, the little girl hurriedly said, "I really don't know. All I know is that I have to find someone named Lin Fan, then assist him and help him grow."
After speaking, she glanced at Su Chen.
He was so handsome, yet he threatened to destroy the tower at the drop of a hat!
Where was the justice in this world?!
This was bullying a tower too much!
At the thought, she couldn't help wanting to cry.
Su Chen nodded. "Just as the system said. Lin Fan, huh?"
After a while, he noticed the little girl was about to cry and smiled. "Why are you crying?"
The little girl bit her lip, her eyes brimming with tears, and said nothing.
Su Chen smiled and shook his head. This made it look like he was bullying a child.
He looked at the little girl and said, "Would you be willing to stay by my side?"
Hearing this, the little girl held back her tears and said, "Can I?"
Su Chen smiled. "Of course."
The little girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Okay."
After saying that, she rejoiced inwardly.
She knew Su Chen had to be a big shot. Staying by a big shot's side-and such a handsome big shot at that-was exciting just to think about.
As for the Lin Fan she was supposed to find... What the hell was that?
Su Chen smiled. "Do you have a name?"
The little girl shook her head. "No."
Su Chen thought for a moment, then said, "Then you can be called Duo'er."
Duo'er blinked. "Okay!"
Clearly, she liked the name very much.
Meanwhile, outside the tower.
Seeing Su Chen disappear, the Demon Venerable finally breathed a sigh of relief, but that was all.
After all, Su Chen had sealed his cultivation, and even if he wanted to escape, Murong Xue was watching him from the side. He couldn't escape at all.
At the thought, he couldn't help sighing, his feelings complicated.
He was a Demon Venerable of his generation, yet he had fallen to such a state.
Ridiculous.
Ridiculous.
When Murong Xue saw Su Chen disappear, she frowned and looked at the Demon Venerable. "Where did he go?"
The Demon Venerable glanced at Murong Xue and said nothing.
"Hmm?"
Murong Xue narrowed her eyes slightly, and the presence of a Half-Saint spread from her.
Seeing this, the Demon Venerable hurriedly said, "He's in the little tower right now!"
After speaking, he felt a surge of humiliation.
Damn it!
Truly, a tiger fallen to the plains was bullied by dogs!
Murong Xue withdrew her presence, a puzzled look on her face. "In the little tower?"
The Demon Venerable explained, "There's a special space inside the little tower. He's in there right now."
Murong Xue nodded. "Is there anything special about the inside of the little tower?"
The Demon Venerable said reluctantly, "For every day that passes outside, a hundred years pass inside the little tower."
He really didn't want to reveal this secret.
But he had no choice.
His cultivation was sealed, and he couldn't beat her. What could he do?
Alas...
What a bitter life.
"What?!"
Murong Xue's eyes widened. "Are you serious?" she asked in disbelief.
One day outside, a hundred years inside the little tower?
What kind of joke was this?!
The Demon Venerable nodded expressionlessly.
Murong Xue remained stunned for quite a while before calming herself. "Does such a divine object really exist in this world?"
Just then, Su Chen suddenly appeared.
The Demon Venerable's expression immediately changed, and he said with a beaming smile, "Master, are you satisfied with this little tower?"
The corners of Su Chen's mouth lifted slightly, and he nodded. "I am."
As his words fell, the little tower in his hand turned into a streak of light and entered the space between his brows, coming to rest in his sea of consciousness. At that moment, Su Chen also felt that some kind of connection seemed to have formed between him and the little tower.
Seeing this, the Demon Venerable felt nothing but bitterness.
He had been hunted for a full three thousand years because of that little tower, yet in the end, it wasn't even his.
I, this venerable one, am bitter inside, but I won't say it.
Su Chen naturally saw through the Demon Venerable's thoughts and smiled. "Look at you. Don't worry. I took your little tower, so I definitely won't let you suffer a loss."
With that, a bottle of pills appeared in his hand out of thin air.
He continued, "You're at the Great Saint Realm Third Layer right now. The pills in here are enough to let you break through to the Saint King Realm!"
"Holy shit! Really?"
The Demon Venerable looked stunned.
He had been stuck at the Great Saint Realm Third Layer for thousands of years without breaking through. Could one bottle of pills let him break through? Clearly, he didn't quite believe it.
Murong Xue first glanced at Su Chen, then gave the Demon Venerable a long look. She hadn't expected this fellow to be in the Great Saint Realm.
Su Chen smiled. "Pour the pills out and take a look. Then you'll know."
As he spoke, he handed the pills to the Demon Venerable.
The Demon Venerable nodded and accepted the pills. At this point, even if he didn't believe it, he had no choice but to believe.
He carefully opened the bottle, and a pill fragrance immediately wafted out, filling the entire hall.
The Demon Venerable swallowed, a storm raging in his heart.
He had only just smelled the pill fragrance, yet his long-stagnant realm had actually stirred ever so slightly.
Boom!
Just then, a powerful force suddenly erupted from Murong Xue. She hurriedly suppressed it, then looked utterly dumbfounded.
Because she had broken through!
She had only just broken through to the Half-Saint realm!
This was ridiculous!
Murong Xue glanced at the bottle in the Demon Venerable's hand and began to believe what Su Chen had said.
The Demon Venerable poured the pills out of the bottle.
The pills were translucent and sparkling, with spiritual light interweaving around them. Their color was bright, their forms full and rounded, and exquisite patterns were engraved on them.
"Nine Revolutions Profound Spirit Pill!"
The Demon Venerable cried out in disbelief.
Murong Xue was puzzled. "What is a Nine Revolutions Profound Spirit Pill?"
