At this moment, Xiao Lingyu's soul had been recognized by the space-time of the World of Immortals and could fully emerge from her body.
Although the vast and vigorous Divine Sense fluctuations could not break out due to the restrictions placed in the room, they accumulated in the room and formed a huge pressure.
Under this pressure, the beautiful woman felt her Divine Sense tremble and her body tremble.
The stooped old man smashed his walking stick under his feet and an even more powerful aura surged out of his body, protecting the beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman felt better, but her face was still full of shock.
She was already at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Immortals, so what was the realm of the person who had just awakened?
Xiao Lingyu and the young Awakening Master meditated for a while and then both opened their eyes. Xiao Lingyu asked, "How many Yang Crystals for a Soul Nourishing Pill?"
The young man smiled and took out a Soul Nourishing Pill, saying, "I'll give you one for free."
At this moment, the young man was sure that this cultivator who had just ascended for a hundred years was at the peak of the Fifth Heavenly Layer of Immortals and was only one step away from the Sixth Heavenly Layer.
"Thank you."
Xiao Lingyu took the Soul Nourishing Pill and sat down on a chair with soft cushions in the room. She took the pill and calmed down.
Her soul had suffered heavy injuries when she woke up. If she only relied on herself, it would take a long time to recover. With the help of the Soul Nourishing Pill, her recovery would be faster.
"Third Miss, does our bet still count?" Although the young man also consumed a lot of energy, a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
"Of course it counts. A loss is a loss. Isn't it just two hundred thousand Yang Crystals? I, Sang Zhi, am not a sore loser!"
The beautiful woman looked proud, but after a moment, she frowned and said to the stooped old man beside her, "Uncle Tuo, lend me one hundred and twenty thousand Yang Crystals."
"Uh …"
The stooped old man called Uncle Tuo paused and replied, "Third Miss, you don't know. This old servant never carries Yang Crystals."
Sang Zhi, who appeared to be a sixteen year old girl, was obviously unhappy, but she did not blame Uncle Tuo. Instead, she said to the young man, "I'll give you eighty thousand Yang Crystals first. As for the remaining one hundred and twenty thousand, I'll send someone to deliver it to you when I go back!"
The young man accepted the eighty thousand pieces of Yang Crystals and said, "Haha, Third Young Lady, you don't have to take it too seriously. You don't need to return the rest, as long as Third Young Lady doesn't say that Xiao Ke's skills are not good enough in the future."
"Hmph! I, Sang Zhi, have always been a man of my word. The 120,000 Sun Crystals will definitely be delivered later. As for your skill, it still needs to be verified! "
With that, Sang Zhi led Uncle Tuo out of the room.
The young Awakening Master shook his head and smiled bitterly. Then, he began to meditate.
Four hours after taking the Soul Nurturing Pill, Xiao Lingyu felt that his soul had stabilized. The effects of the Soul Nurturing Pill had also completely dissipated. The injuries to his soul could only be slowly healed in the future.
As soon as Xiao Lingyu woke up, a woman in a palace dress entered the side room.
The woman left behind a storage pouch and then left without saying a word.
The young Awakening Master glanced at the storage pouch and put it away. The corners of his mouth curled up into a bitter smile.
"Many thanks for helping me wake up. I still have some trivial matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any further." Xiao Lingyu stood up and bid farewell.
"Wait a moment."
The young man called out softly. When Xiao Lingyu turned around in confusion, he continued, "Fellow Daoist, have you joined any clans or teams?"
Xiao Lingyu shook his head and said, "No, what's wrong?"
The young man said, "Fellow Daoist, you've just ascended not long ago. You still don't know much about the World of Immortals. You should know that the World of Immortals allows everyone to have an endless lifespan. In fact, it's not much different from the lower realms. It's survival of the fittest.
Xiao Lingyu asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you have any advice for me?"
The young man shook his head and said, "It's not advice. I just want to ask Fellow Daoist to stay and become a Awakening Master. With Fellow Daoist's cultivation, it's still easy for you to awaken ordinary people who just ascended. The treatment of a Awakening Master is extremely high. It's something that many cultivators at the Fourth Celestial Layer of Immortals and above yearn for even in their dreams. "
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "I prefer to be alone and unrestrained."
The young man continued to explain, "Awakening Masters aren't restricted too much. After being hired by the Awakening Tower, you'll learn the Awakening Technique of the Awakening Tower. After studying and becoming proficient in it, you'll be on duty in shifts. Every hundred years, you'll only be on duty for ten years. The rest of your time is up to you. As long as you don't divulge the secrets and secret techniques of the Awakening Tower, the Awakening Tower won't impose any restrictions on you."
Xiao Lingyu asked curiously, "Such good treatment, so many cultivators yearn for it even in their dreams. Fellow Daoist, how do you know that the head of the Awakening Tower will want me?"
The young man said confidently, "The Awakening Tower doesn't want ordinary people, but it thirsts for knowledge of rare geniuses. I dare guarantee that Fellow Daoist will be accepted!"
Xiao Lingyu muttered to himself for a moment, then cupped his fists and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist to recommend me."
Having just arrived at the World of Immortals, Xiao Lingyu indeed needed a place to stay. If what the young cultivator said just now was true, this Awakening Tower was very suitable for him.
"It just so happens that the head steward is in the tower. I'll bring you to see him now."
The young man immediately stood up, then brought Xiao Lingyu out of the room.
He didn't go downstairs. After walking a few steps, the young man stopped in front of the door of the room next door and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
The door opened, and a slightly tired voice came out.
The young man brought Xiao Lingyu into the room. He appeared to be very careful and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
The structure of this room was exactly the same as the young man's room.
At this moment, a middle-aged cultivator wearing a purple robe was sitting behind a desk.
The middle-aged cultivator's face was a bit pale, and he was about the same as the young cultivator who helped Xiao Lingyu wake up. It seemed that he was injured.
"Miling, what's the matter?" The middle-aged cultivator asked with an indifferent expression.
The young cultivator called Miling replied, "My Lord, this Fellow Daoist is interested in joining our Awakening Tower, so I brought him here for you to take a look."
The middle-aged cultivator made an 'oh' sound, then looked at Xiao Lingyu. A faint light shot out from his eyes.
A moment later, the middle-aged cultivator said, "He just woke up, and his cultivation is close to the Sixth Heavenly Layer of Immortals. It seems that he hasn't ascended for long. He's really good material. However, the Awakening Tower in Gourd City doesn't lack manpower."
The middle-aged cultivator rubbed the bridge of his nose, then said, "Then let Yuanqing leave. As for this Awakening Technique, you teach it to him."
"Yes, my Lord! Miling will do his best to teach him! "Miling hurriedly replied.
The middle-aged cultivator took out a palm-sized jade tablet and said to Xiao Lingyu, "Tell me your name."
"Xiao Lingyu," Xiao Lingyu replied.
The middle-aged cultivator stretched out a finger and made a few gestures on the jade tablet. Then, he tossed the jade tablet over and said, "Be careful when you do things. Don't make any mistakes."
"Yes." Xiao Lingyu took the jade tablet and nodded.
At this moment, the jade tablet's originally smooth surface was engraved with a large "Xiao" character and two smaller "Lingyu" characters.
The middle-aged cultivator waved his hand and said, "Miling, bring this new Brother Xiao to Yuanqing's room. Tell Yuanqing to come see me."
Immediately, Miling brought Xiao Lingyu to the second floor and stopped in front of Ding Mao's room.
Miling didn't knock and directly pushed open the door of Ding Mao's room. At this moment, there was no one in the room. Miling said to the old man, "Yuanqing, the Lord Steward invites you upstairs."
The old man was puzzled, but he didn't ask and immediately went to the third floor.
"I didn't expect that I would have to chase someone away when I came here." Xiao Lingyu smiled bitterly.
"Haha, this is the World of Immortals. There's nothing strange about it. You don't have to blame yourself. Yuanqing hasn't improved for many years. Although he's older than me, he's too complacent and doesn't want to improve. It's only a matter of time before he's eliminated." Miling didn't mind.
"I'm a bit curious. Fellow Daoist Miling is so eager to recommend me. I wonder …"
"Xiao Daoyou, don't worry. I don't have any ulterior motives. It's just that there's a rule in the tower. If you recommend a cultivator with good qualifications and a clean background, the tower will give you a generous reward. That's why I'm so eager. As the saying goes, one doesn't get up early if there's no profit. However, the profit I'm after won't bring you any harm." Miling explained.
"Then I'm being overly suspicious." Xiao Lingyu nodded.
Then, Miling began to teach Xiao Lingyu the Awakening Secret Technique.
Although this secret technique was a bit complicated and exquisite, it was similar to the Dao of Forbidden Formations. As long as one understood a few of the essence and studied it, ordinary cultivators would be able to master it in a short time.
After all, Xiao Lingyu was an expert in the Dao of Forbidden Formations. Thus, he would be able to master the Awakening Secret Technique much faster.
Just as Miling was teaching Xiao Lingyu the Awakening Secret Technique, the door to Ding Mao's room was pushed open again. The person who came in was the old man who had been expelled, Yuan Qing.
Yuan Qing looked extremely angry. He stared at Miling and said angrily, "You ungrateful bastard. When you first came, if it weren't for my constant guidance, you would have been pushed out before you could even get a foothold. Today, you used a dirty trick to drive me out!"
Miling sneered and said, "Come on, when did I not beg you to give me pointers? When did you not pretend to give me pointers and then blackmail me for a large sum of Yang Crystals? Moreover, it's fine if you don't want to improve, but you often deceive the guests, causing our Awakening Secret Technique to be criticized outside. It's inevitable that you will be driven out! "
"Fine, fine, fine! It's a small world. Let's wait and see! "Yuan Qing said angrily.
"Don't give me that. With your little ability, what can you do to me when we meet in the future?" Miling said contemptuously.
Although Miling looked young, he was an expert in the Awakening Secret Technique on the third floor. It was obvious that his cultivation was much stronger than Yuan Qing's.
"Hmph!"
Yuan Qing knew that he couldn't get the upper hand with his words today, so he glared at Xiao Lingyu again and left in a hurry.
"He won't hold a grudge against me, right?" Xiao Lingyu said.
