After paying the entrance fee of one Yang Crystal, Xiao Lingyu stepped into Gourd City.
On the way, Xiao Lingyu dripped his blood on the storage pouch to recognize it as its owner. After that, he could use his mind to take out the items inside.
The purpose of entering the city this time was very clear. It was to collect some information about the World of Immortals. Many shops that sold jade slips became Xiao Lingyu's first choice.
Because he didn't understand the prices of the World of Immortals, it was inevitable that he would be cheated by the shops. However, most of the jade slips were only worth a few dozen Yang Crystals, so Xiao Lingyu didn't take them to heart.
After passing through several shops and purchasing dozens of jade slips, Xiao Lingyu discovered that 80,000 Yang Crystals was indeed a large sum.
However, what made Xiao Lingyu depressed was that he couldn't read the contents of the jade slips because his soul power couldn't form Divine Sense.
Others whose cultivation was lower than his could use Divine Sense, but he couldn't. There must be a problem here.
After passing through several streets, Xiao Lingyu stopped in front of a three-story pavilion. The pavilion was very lively in front of it. There were actually many cultivators waiting to enter the pavilion. Business seemed to be very good.
There was a blue plaque on the lintel of the first floor with three golden words "Awakening God Pavilion" written on it.
Xiao Lingyu walked to the back of the line and asked a seemingly middle-aged cultivator, "What kind of business does this Awakening God Pavilion do? Business is unexpectedly good. "
The cultivator first glanced at Xiao Lingyu and found that he couldn't detect his aura. Then, he respectfully cupped his fists and said, "Senior, this Awakening God Pavilion is a place for cultivators who have just ascended to the World of Immortals to remove their soul shackles. Because the souls of cultivators who ascended from the lower realm are not compatible with the World of Immortals, their soul power is firmly suppressed in their Knowledge Sea and can't come out of their bodies. This Awakening God Pavilion can help everyone remove this restriction."
"Oh, I see." Xiao Lingyu nodded and then silently stood in the line.
The cultivator frowned and asked, "Senior also wants to enter the Awakening God Pavilion?"
"Let's go in and take a look." Xiao Lingyu indifferently replied.
"You've also just ascended?" The cultivator asked in surprise.
"Yes," Xiao Lingyu said calmly.
"You've only just ascended, yet you're still putting on such an unfathomable look. You're even calmly accepting the title of 'senior'. How shameless!" the cultivator said furiously.
"You're the one who called me Senior. I didn't force you," Xiao Lingyu replied.
"Hmph! Brat, you better be careful in the future. Don't let me see you outside! "The cultivator coldly snorted and threatened.
"Haha." Xiao Lingyu only laughed.
"Pang San, before you awaken, you must remain calm. You have violated the precepts."
At this moment, an old man in a silver-gray robe walked over and said, "Our Scarlet Pine Stronghold has never bullied others. You've all just ascended not long ago, so you should support each other. Don't get involved in meaningless disputes."
"Yes, yes, yes. You're right. Pang San has learned his lesson." The middle-aged cultivator called Pang San repeatedly cupped his hands and replied.
"Little brother, how long have you ascended?" The old man turned around and asked Xiao Lingyu with a face full of smiles.
"More than a hundred years." Xiao Lingyu replied.
"More than a hundred years?"
The old man frowned slightly and said doubtfully, "As far as I know, those who ascended from below would be placed on islands in the inner and outer seas. Those who have just ascended cannot fly for long periods of time. The power of the soul is also tightly restricted within the body. If you're not familiar with the environment of the World of Immortals after a hundred years, it's even more difficult to travel from the sea to Gourd Island."
"A kind-hearted person helped me and let me board a ship." Xiao Lingyu vaguely said.
"Little brother, since you've just ascended, you probably don't have a place to stay, right?" The old man seemed to be concerned and asked.
"I like to be alone." Xiao Lingyu replied.
"I know, little brother, you must be a leader in the lower realms. You must be respected by everyone. But little brother, you must understand that this is the World of Immortals. There are countless experts in the Immortal Realm. Since you've just arrived, it's better to have a safe place to stay. As the saying goes, if a chopstick is gently broken, ten pairs of chopsticks will be firmly held together! A good man also needs three helpers … "
"Thank you for your kindness. I won't stay on Gourd Island for long. After I wake up, I'll leave." Before the old man finished speaking, Xiao Lingyu interrupted.
The old man did not give up. After he awkwardly stopped persuading, his eyes lit up and said, "Little brother, you've just ascended. I'm afraid you don't have many Yang Crystals in your bag. This time, you'll need five hundred Yang Crystals to wake up. For a cultivator who has just ascended, five hundred Yang Crystals is not a small amount."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "I don't lack Yang Crystals. Thank you for your reminder."
"No way, where did you get your Yang Crystals?" The old man was very surprised.
"There's no need to explain this to you, right?" Xiao Lingyu said impatiently.
"I'm Qing Song, the second-in-command of Red Pine Stronghold. If you change your mind, little brother, you can walk a thousand miles out of the South Gate and you'll see Red Pine Stronghold. Just say my name …"
"Of course, of course." Xiao Lingyu said perfunctorily.
After waiting in line for an hour, the old man, Qing Song, led the five cultivators in front of Xiao Lingyu into the Awakening God Tower. Xiao Lingyu, who was originally at the back of the line, was now at the front of the line.
After waiting for less than a hundred breaths, a cultivator holding a large saber guarding the door on the first floor said to Xiao Lingyu, "Go in."
The first floor of the Awakening God Tower was quite large. There were eight counters inside, and only one was empty. Xiao Lingyu walked towards that counter.
After paying 500 Yang Crystals, Xiao Lingyu received a jade token with the words "Second Floor Ding Mao" engraved on it.
According to the guidance of the female cultivator behind the counter, who always had a smile on her face, Xiao Lingyu went up to the second floor and easily found Room Ding Mao.
Room Ding Mao was not big. There was only a small square table less than a foot tall and two prayer mats.
An old man in a white robe sat cross-legged on one of the prayer mats, facing the door of the room. After Xiao Lingyu entered, he opened his eyes and said, "Sit."
When Xiao Lingyu sat cross-legged in front of him, the old man asked, "How long have you ascended?"
Xiao Lingyu said truthfully, "More than a hundred years."
The old man did not have any strange expression. He nodded and said, "It's easier to wake up within a thousand years of ascension. Relax."
As he spoke, the old man took out a golden pill and said, "There are two ways to wake up. The first is to use the tower's secret method to shake your soul. The second is to take the Awakening Pill. The first method requires you to completely let go of your mental defenses and may injure your soul. The second method is much simpler and has no risk. "
Xiao Lingyu asked curiously, "Since shaking one's soul can wake up, why does everyone still come to the Awakening God Tower?"
The old man smiled and said, "Shaking one's soul is just a simple method. There are many ways to do it. If other cultivators don't know this method and shake the soul of a newly ascended cultivator, it will definitely shatter the other party's soul. Only the secret method can guarantee safety. At most, it will injure the other party, but it will definitely not destroy the other party's soul. Cultivators who have just ascended are almost all in the early stage of the Immortal Realm. Their realms are not stable, so their souls are very weak. "
After listening to the old man's explanation, Xiao Lingyu naturally understood a lot. He asked again, "This Awakening Pill should be paid separately, right?"
The old man nodded and said, "It's worth a thousand Sun Crystals. If you can't take out that many Sun Crystals, it's fine. We'll use the first method to wake up."
Xiao Lingyu hesitated for a moment, then took out a thousand Sun Crystals and said, "What if this Awakening Pill doesn't work?"
The old man took the Sun Crystals and said, "Don't worry. If it doesn't work, we'll refund your Sun Crystals and compensate you with another thousand Sun Crystals. The Awakening Pill's efficacy dissipates very quickly. If you don't believe me, just take it. At most, you'll be able to wake up in two hours! "
Xiao Lingyu did as he was told. He went to a corner of the room and sat down cross-legged. Then, he took the Awakening Pill.
The old man continued to receive other cultivators who came to wake up. However, for cultivators who had just ascended, it was difficult to take out five hundred Sun Crystals. Most of them needed to join a force or team and be funded by others to wake up. Few people could take out a thousand Sun Crystals like Xiao Lingyu to buy the Awakening Pill.
Just as the old man had said, the medicinal efficacy of the Spirit Awakening Pill dissipated extremely quickly. Almost as soon as it entered Xiao Lingyu's stomach, it had already dispersed. Then, it quickly rushed into Xiao Lingyu's Knowledge Sea and wrapped around his Golden Soul Pearl.
The efficacy of the pill constantly attacked Xiao Lingyu's Golden Soul Bead and then slowly seeped into it …
The old man cast a spell step by step to wake up the cultivators who came in. Most of the cultivators who came out were pale and their steps were unsteady, as if they had not recovered from a serious illness. Moreover, their expressions showed that they had a lingering fear, as if they had just woken up from a nightmare.
It was obvious that although the old man's secret technique could wake them up safely, the cultivators who were awakened would definitely suffer a lot.
Xiao Lingyu did not suffer much, but after two hours, the efficacy of the Awakening Pill had completely seeped into his Golden Soul Bead. However, he still could not use his Soul Strength to form Divine Sense. His Soul Strength was still firmly confined in the Golden Soul Bead.
"Impossible!"
The old man listened to Xiao Lingyu's explanation with a look of disbelief. His face was ashen as he said, "Come and sit across from me!"
There was already a cultivator sitting across from the old man, but when that cultivator saw the old man's expression, he tactfully stood up and stood to the side.
After Xiao Lingyu sat down, the old man pointed a finger between his eyebrows and ordered, "Start trying to release your Soul Strength!"
After a moment, the old man withdrew his finger and said in confusion, "Not only is your Soul Strength special, but your cultivation is also not weak. If you didn't just ascend, then you really haven't woken up yet …"
After pondering for a long time, the old man took out 2,000 Yang Crystals and said, "I can't wake you up in your situation. You have to go to the third floor."
Xiao Lingyu calmly took the Yang Crystals and said, "Who do I look for on the third floor? Which room? "
The old man smiled and said, "The third floor is for experts to wake you up. You need me to bring you up."
Xiao Lingyu had worked hard for many years and naturally understood the old man's meaning. He immediately returned the 2,000 Yang Crystals to the old man.
