Although Mo Cong didn't get the vitality stones, he wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled and accepted the result.
The leading servant introduced himself. His name was Zhou Zhuo, and his cultivation was also at the peak of the Earth Realm. However, he was a powerhouse who had experienced 30 breakthroughs.
30 breakthroughs was already the limit. He had already cultivated an absolute domain, but he didn't want to break through to the Heaven Realm.
According to Mo Cong, after breaking through 30 breakthroughs and entering the Heaven Realm, he had a chance to challenge a one-star elder.
If he succeeded, Zhou Zhuo would become a one-star elder, but he would only be able to do so for a month.
If he couldn't succeed in a month, he could only challenge the elder who had his Yang Talisman.
The elder naturally wouldn't keep a servant who could challenge him at any time. By then, Zhou Zhuo's fate could be imagined.
Even Ye Tianze, who had the memories of two lifetimes, was a little scared by the rules of the nine-level pagoda.
Mo Cong didn't dare to keep the ten upper-grade vitality stones because he couldn't afford it. If Lv Aoshan found out, he would only have the fate of becoming a corpse puppet.
Zhou Zhuo had received three upper-grade vitality stones, which was a reward from Lv Aoshan. This was different.
If Zhou Zhuo secretly kept three and Lv Aoshan found out, he would only be refined into a corpse puppet.
At the bottom of the nine-level pagoda, only rewards could be enjoyed.
'If I knew this would happen, I would've dealt with those monsters on the fifth level first and accumulated enough strength before coming up!'
Ye Tianze thought to himself.
However, it was too late now. He had already come up. Just like the countless cultivators who wanted to reach the sixth level to obtain more resources, he had been tricked!
The resources here were indeed more abundant. Upper-Grade vitality stones were very rare even on the fifth level, but there were upper-grade vitality stones here.
Moreover, the vitality and inner core of the spirit beasts were more abundant than those at the bottom of the mountain.
Killing ten at the bottom of the mountain might not even be comparable to killing one at the sixth level.
'I need to improve my strength and become an elder before I can freely use my strength!' Ye Tianze thought to himself.
Zhou Zhuo gave them rooms, but the vitality in the nine-level pagoda was indeed more abundant than the upper-grade vitality well on the fifth level.
However, this could not be considered as Ye Tianze suppressing his realm and forming a breakthrough climax.
To date, Ye Tianze had only experienced eleven breakthroughs, and the limit for this realm was thirty breakthroughs.
Previously, he had seen Hong Ye break through the climax 15 times. However, it was obvious that Hong Ye's strength could not be compared to the expert here who had broken through the climax 10 times. Compared to him, the difference was even greater.
"It seems that the peak of this breakthrough has something to do with one's innate talent. The highest limit in this realm is 30 times. It has already become a consensus!"
Ye Tianze thought to himself.
The information Red Leaf obtained came from the fifth level's Sky Saber Elder. And Sky Saber Elder's strength was only that of a servant on that level.
If it were not for the Sky Sword Elder, Ye Tianze would not have come to the sixth floor and become Lu Aoshan's servant.
"I have seven Inner Cores and two Spirit Blood that have yet to awaken. According to the Nine Spirit Blood talent, every Spirit Blood in this realm will experience thirty breakthroughs. Even if I don't use the Celestial Combat Body, I'm afraid it will be enough to crush all the experts in this realm!"
Ye Tianze thought about it and felt that it was feasible. Ordinary people could not do it because their physiques were different.
Ye Tianze cultivated the Celestial Combat Body, which had been improved. His physique was far superior to that of ordinary people, so it was natural that he could withstand such a huge amount of vitality.
"However, if I were to just absorb the vitality here to cultivate, I'm afraid it would take me a thousand years to become an elder, not to mention that every Spirit Blood has to experience thirty breakthroughs."
After a long silence, Ye Tianze made up his mind. He had to become an elder to get rid of Lu Aoshan and further seize resources for cultivation.
Ye Tianze was not stupid. He was a Human Emperor in his previous life, but not in this life. Without absolute strength, he could only adapt to the rules. He understood deeply.
Finally, he focused his attention on the Yin-Yang Talisman. The pain of being restrained by Lu Aoshan was still vivid in his mind.
Although his cultivation would not be crippled if he destroyed two Inner Cores, his Celestial Combat Body would be crippled because of it.
The Yin-Yang Talisman was a murderous aura that wrapped around his Inner Core. When it was not activated, he could not feel anything at all. He could use his Spirit Qi freely without being restrained.
However, once it was activated, his entire Inner Core would be torn apart. The pain was no less than a knife digging into his heart.
With his current attainments in array formations, he quickly figured out the array formation in the Yin-Yang Talisman. However, to his disbelief, the array formation was very similar to the array formation of the Star population.
It even had the power of a killing array.
Ye Tianze finally understood why the Yin-Yang Talisman was so powerful. The level of the Star population was obviously different from his level.
When he used the array formation of the Star population to deduce it, he quickly figured out the operation pattern of the array formation. It was not difficult to break the Yin-Yang Talisman.
The difficult part was that it was impossible for him to break the Yin-Yang Talisman without Lu Aoshan noticing.
'Unless I really fall out with Lu Aoshan, otherwise … I can't break the Yin-Yang Talisman!' Ye Tianze thought to himself.
He would definitely not do something that would make him suffer.
Early the next morning, Zhou Zhuo woke all of them up. Including Zhou Zhuo, there were a total of nine slaves.
Ye Tianze naturally stood at the end of the line. His cultivation was the lowest.
"You three newcomers, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you don't pay the tribute this month, you will be whipped!"
Zhou Zhuo said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Cong was dissatisfied. "Senior Brother Zhou, that's not very kind of you. There are only ten days left this month. How can we kill ten spirit beasts to pay the tribute? Why don't we start counting next month? "
"Next month?" Zhou Zhuo sneered. "If you're willing to take this month's whip first and pay the tribute next month, I won't stop you!"
Mo Cong's expression changed. "But, you took ten high-grade Primal Stones from me yesterday. You …"
"Did I take ten high-grade Primal Stones from you?"
Zhou Zhuo stared at him and said coldly, "I received three high-grade Primal Stones from the elder. As for the one you gave me, it was paid to the elder. Don't tell me you want to keep it for yourself?"
Mo Cong was speechless, but he was unwilling to take the whip. He knew how powerful the whip was. If he was whipped, his vitality would be greatly damaged. It would take at least ten days to half a month for him to recover, unless he had medicinal pills to heal his injuries.
However, medicinal pills were very precious on this floor because high-grade alchemists were very rare.
After taking the whip, if he could not pay the tribute next month, he would be whipped again. If this vicious cycle continued, he would be crippled sooner or later.
Moreover, if he could not pay the tribute in three months, he would be a useless person. A useless person would only have the fate of becoming a corpse puppet.
"Listen up, all of you. Don't use those crooked methods. If you dare to go behind the elder's back and steal, I'll refine all of you into corpse puppets!"
Zhou Zhuo said. "What are you looking at? Hurry up and go hunt spirit beasts!"
Ye Tianze did not sympathize with Mo Cong. After leaving the mansion, he rushed out of the nine-story pagoda.
"Brother Ye, wait up. Why are you walking so fast?" Mo Cong's voice came.
Ye Tianze turned around and said, "Senior Brother Mo, what's the matter?"
"Don't be nervous. Don't worry, I won't scheme against you. After all, we joined the sect together. Moreover … we're ostracized by the elders under Elder Lu. If we don't stick together, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive."
Mo Cong said.
"Then, what advice does Senior Brother Mo have for me?" Ye Tianze asked.
"Your cultivation is low. If you follow us, you'll be able to take care of each other. We've killed eight spirit beasts before and each of us needs ten for the monthly tribute. The spirit beasts on this floor are so hard to kill. If we're not careful, we'll become the spirit beasts' prey. If we don't work together, I'm afraid we won't be able to complete the mission."
Mo Cong explained to Ye Tianze about the fearsomeness of the whip.
Ye Tianze nodded after listening to Mo Cong.
Mo Cong asked, "Brother Ye, do you agree?"
"I still plan to go alone. I appreciate Senior Brother Mo's good intentions." Ye Tianze said.
With his current strength, he definitely wouldn't be able to win if he fought with Mo Cong and Mo Sheng. He would even expose many of his trump cards.
Now that he was living under someone else's roof, he should be more vigilant. If he exposed all his trump cards and Mo Cong really had some ideas, he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
Mo Cong's face suddenly turned cold. "Brother Ye, are you refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit?"
"If we can't pay the monthly tribute to the elders, we won't be able to bear the consequences." Mo Sheng said, "Brother Ye, don't be stubborn. If I've offended you in any way, how about I apologize to you?"
Ye Tianze smiled and said, "I'm just worried about the two of you."
Mo Sheng and Mo Cong fell silent. What else could they do now that it had come to this?
"You better die outside. Otherwise, when you come back, I'll make sure you're not able to bear the consequences!" Mo Cong finished his threat and turned to leave.
After seeing them leave, Ye Tianze left.
However, Mo Cong and Mo Sheng quickly chased after Ye Tianze.
"Why are we following him? With this kid's strength, will he be a burden to us? Can he complete the mission?"
Mo Sheng asked curiously.
"Hmph, don't you think it's strange that this kid went up the mountain alone?"
Mo Cong said, "Moreover, when you were fighting with the Dark Night Python, this kid obviously wanted to be the oriole behind you. If he doesn't have any trump cards, do you think it's possible?"
"But didn't Elder Lu take away his Interspatial Ring?" Mo Sheng said, "If he did have any trump cards, Elder Lu would have taken them away."
"That's not necessarily true. What if he has some blood-refined treasure?"
Mo Cong said, "Although there are more resources on the mountain than at the foot of the mountain, in terms of treasures, the mountain can't be compared to the foot of the mountain. Anyway, it won't take much time. If this kid doesn't have any trump cards, it won't be too late for us to hunt spiritual beasts. If we work together and take some risks, it won't be a problem to complete the mission. But if he does have a trump card, we'll be rich. After all, if it's not in the Interspatial Ring, it must be a blood-refined treasure, or even a divine weapon!"
