"Has this child been agitated?"
Gongsun Zhenwen looked at Pan Yunjie's back and couldn't help but sigh. He then looked at Du Feng, who was still trying to break through the array, and immediately beamed with joy.
After another half a day, Du Feng finally finished reading the Vermilion Bird Dao and turned to look at the content on the Black Tortoise Pillar.
The Black Tortoise represented the seven constellations of the north: Dou, Niu, Nu, Xu, Wei, Shi, and Bi. Different from the Vermilion Bird's resurrection, the Black Tortoise symbolized immortality. Although it was ranked last among the four divine beasts, it had the longest natural lifespan.
Heaven needs one for clarity, earth needs one for tranquility, man needs one for life, and god needs one for spirit. The five elements generated each other, the four seasons rotated, and returned to one. This "one" referred to the Black Tortoise. The Black Tortoise's long lifespan was endless. It had a tortoise shell on the outside and had a strong defense. Inside, it had a flexible body that could shrink at any time to avoid natural disasters.
The Black Tortoise Dao was about how to recuperate, which could extend one's lifespan and heal the hidden injuries in one's body. Martial artists fought and killed all day. Even if they could defeat their opponents every time, many hidden injuries would accumulate in their body over time. If they couldn't get rid of it, the hidden injuries would break out sooner or later. If it was light, the Cultivation would regress, and if it was heavy, one would die.
Gongsun Zhenwen's body was so special, and it had always been in the process of decay. It was because of the Black Tortoise Dao that he had lived for so long.
Yes, I have to learn this well. In the future, when I'm injured, I can just sleep and save on healing pills. Du Feng was so practical. When he saw the Black Tortoise Dao, the first thing he thought of was that it could save money. Therefore, he stared at the content on the Black Tortoise Pillar and read it carefully for a few hours. Only when he saw the golden words "Gongsun Zhenwen" did he know that it was over.
"Thank you for your gift, Mister!"
The four pillars in front of him disappeared, and the first thing Du Feng saw was Gongsun Zhenwen, who was standing opposite him. This old man was dressed in rags, but he was really capable, so he had to call him Mister.
"You're welcome. Just get me a good ranking in the year-end tournament."
Gongsun Zhenwen's request was very simple. He didn't want the complicated process of kowtowing to his master, nor would he accept any gifts from the students. If Du Feng really wanted to help the Array Formation Class get a place in the year-end competition, it could be considered as giving the old man some face.
"Hu hu …"
Du Feng was about to reply, but he saw that Gongsun Zhenwen had fallen asleep again. This old man could even fall asleep standing up. I really admire him. If it wasn't for the fact that he had to wait for Du Feng to come out and Pan Yunjie had run out again, he would have fallen asleep long ago. Falling asleep was the happiest moment of life.
Du Feng knew that Gongsun Zhenwen was a strange old man, so he didn't disturb him. After asking the other students about the Seven Basaltic Mansions, he hurriedly left the Array Formation class and headed to the Vitality Tower. The reason why the Seven Basaltic Mansions was so famous and could cultivate so many outstanding students was inseparable from the Vitality Tower.
This Vitality Tower had a total of nine floors. The first floor had 99 cultivation rooms, the second floor had 88, the third floor had 77, and so on. The ninth floor had 11 cultivation rooms. The nine-story Vitality Tower added up to a total of 495 cultivation rooms. It sounded like a lot, but it was far from enough.
This was because the Seven Basaltic Mansions had tens of thousands of students, and there were hundreds of people competing for each cultivation room. The reason why everyone desperately squeezed into the cultivation rooms was very simple. The Vitality Tower here could speed up a martial artist's cultivation. The first floor had a one-fold speed increase, the second floor had a two-fold speed increase, and so on. The ninth floor had a one-fold speed increase. In other words, if you cultivated on the first floor of the Vitality Tower for a year, it was equivalent to others cultivating outside for two years. There might not be a difference in a short period of time, but after ten or twenty years, the Cultivation of both sides would definitely open up a huge gap.
Not to mention the second, third, and even the eighth and ninth floors, which were freakish places. A year of cultivation was equivalent to eight or nine years of hard work for others. It was said that in the middle of the top floor, there was the most freakish cultivation room. Cultivating there for a year was equivalent to 20 years of hard work for others. Currently, that position was occupied by an old student named Sima Jian, and it had been a long time since it was replaced.
Tsk tsk tsk … 20 times the cultivation speed. Just thinking about it was terrifying. If he had grown up in such a Cultivation Room, his cultivation would definitely not be like this now. Du Feng was very interested in the Vitality Tower and quickly arrived at the open space outside the tower.
Eh, the situation was different from what he had imagined. The Vitality Tower was such a popular place. Logically speaking, there should be a lot of people waiting to enter, and there should be a long queue. Why was it so cold and empty in front of the door? There was not a single person in line.
"Bang!"
Just as he was feeling puzzled, he heard a muffled sound from inside the tower, and then a figure flew out. Then, he fell hard on the ground and spat out a mist of blood from his mouth. He must have been seriously injured.
"Brother, are you okay?"
The place where this person fell was not far from Du Feng, so he helped him up. This brother was wearing light yellow clothes, and now his chest was all dyed red. There was a black palm print on his chest that was not dyed.
What a vicious palm technique. Du Feng could tell at a glance that this palm contained a deadly poison. The poison entered the chest through the palm force and would soon reach the heart. Didn't they say that killing was not allowed in the Seven Basaltic Mansions? How could someone be so ruthless?
"Don't talk. Eat this first."
The person who was sent flying opened his mouth and wanted to say something. Du Feng took this opportunity to take out a detoxification pill and stuffed it into his mouth. If he did not quickly protect his heart meridian, it would be difficult to treat when the poison attacked his heart. Even if he was cured, his physique would not be as good as before, and his cultivation path would basically be ruined.
"Friend, you are new here, right?"
This brother who was beaten up was really interesting. After adjusting his breath for a while, he was able to speak. The first thing he said was not to thank Du Feng, but to ask if he was new.
"Yes, how could you tell that I am new?"
Du Feng was really a little curious. There were so many students in the Seven Basaltic Mansions, so it was normal that they did not know each other. How did he know that he was new? After the two of them chatted, he realized that others were not allowed to intervene in the battle in the Vitality Tower.
