All 93 people, except for Gu Zheng, looked at the small bowl in front of them in confusion.
The bowl was filled to the brim with thick liquid. It was black in color and looked like ink. There was no smell at all. Even the two elders were somewhat baffled.
Gu Zheng picked up the bowl with great effort and drank all the ink in the bowl. A warm current immediately rushed to his dantian, quickly replenishing his exhausted immortal power.
"Everyone, one bowl. Drink it all up, not a drop left!"
Gu Zheng said slowly. Everyone looked at Gu Zheng. This pot of ink was made in eight hours. It still had a smell before, but now there was no smell at all, and he still wanted them to drink it?
"Listen to the Sect Leader's orders. Drink it all!"
First Elder Wuyou picked up the small bowl in front of him. Gazing at it, he closed his eyes and drank all the ink in the bowl in one gulp.
As soon as the ink entered his stomach, he felt a warm current rising in his dantian.
Seeing that the Great Elder had drunk it, the others pinched their noses and drank the ink in front of them. Everyone picked up their small bowls and drank the ink in their bowls. Especially the female disciples, who almost frowned and drank the ink in their bowls.
There were more than 30 female disciples in Emei. Usually, they were married internally. If there were not enough women, they would think of ways to propose marriage from outside. However, people without inner strength were definitely not allowed to live here.
The family members without inner strength were arranged to live in the outer area.
The ink color was ugly, but the taste was not bad. It was quite delicious. Once they drank it, they could not help but finish it.
After drinking the ink, everyone felt the same as the Great Elder. They felt a warm current in their dantian.
"This is a medicinal liquid that can increase inner strength!"
The Great Elder suddenly shouted in surprise. Everyone also felt that this warm current was transforming into their inner strength, increasing their cultivation.
"All disciples, guard your dantian, throw away distracting thoughts, and cultivate!"
The Great Elder shouted. Everyone, including himself, sat down cross-legged like Gu Zheng and began to cultivate silently, digesting the ink that they had just drunk.
In the huge square, everyone sat there in absolute silence.
Gu Zheng was the first to wake up. It had already been an hour since he drank the ink, and more than half of his exhausted immortal power had recovered. The effect of this bowl of ink was indeed not bad. One had to know that in order to increase the effect of the medicine, Gu Zheng had secretly mixed in an immortal essence pill.
The Immortal Essence Pill was a true immortal pill. It could even increase one's immortal power, not to mention inner strength. Gu Zheng now had more than ten Immortal Essence Pills. This time, in order to strengthen the effect of the Immortal Essence Pill, he simply added one.
Any immortal pill could be fused into food cultivation. This was another characteristic of food cultivation. Unlike immortal pills, some immortal pills couldn't be taken at the same time. Otherwise, there would be conflict or waste. Food cultivation didn't. The immortal pills that were added were like raw materials that could increase the effects of food cultivation.
Moreover, the immortal pills were finished products, not raw materials. There was no need to specially fuse them, and there was no need to expend immortal energy to increase their effects.
Gu Zheng stood up. The people around him were still meditating cross-legged. Gu Zheng didn't wake them up. Instead, he walked to the platform and looked at the tower in front of him.
This tower was actually an immortal artifact. Normally, immortal artifacts could be big or small, and could be freely shrunk. This tower couldn't be retracted and could only be placed here. It was a pity.
If this tower could be freely shrunk, he could take it and turn it into a small tower. When facing an enemy, he could release the tower fiercely and crush the enemy to death. He would be a Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. Just thinking about it would be very awe-inspiring.
He didn't know what material the tower was made of. It was very simple and unadorned. Gu Zheng was bored alone, so he simply walked in.
On the first floor of the tower, which was the hall, there was only a table and a chair. After the tower was activated, there would be a tower guardian on each of the twelve floors. If one could defeat all twelve tower guardians, they would be able to obtain a reward.
From the second floor onwards, the strength of the tower guardians on each floor was different. On the twelfth floor, the strength of the tower guardians was comparable to a Void Return powerhouse. No wonder such an immortal artifact required three Void Return powerhouses to maintain.
The competition in the tower was a life-and-death battle, but one didn't have to worry about dying. Even if one died inside, they would only be teleported out. It wouldn't really hurt one's life.
Similarly, one didn't have to worry about killing the tower guardians. The tower guardians were all formed by energy. Even if they were killed, they could appear again.
In this way, one could practice actual combat without any worries. Just from this function alone, this was indeed a good immortal artifact. The person who could make such an immortal artifact was also a genius.
Gu Zheng walked on the first floor of the tower. After the earth lost its immortal energy, this place became a model, and the tower could no longer be used.
In this way, the first floor became a temporary resting place for the elders and the sect leader. As for the second floor, no one had gone up there for thousands of years. The door to the second floor was tightly closed.
Gu Zheng stood at the entrance of the stairs and walked up slowly. Although he was the sect leader of Emei Sect, because he was a sect leader who was captured, he didn't know much about this tower. He only knew that he couldn't go up to the second floor, but he didn't know why. At this time, he was very bored, so he might as well give it a try.
When he reached the entrance of the second floor, an invisible energy shield blocked him. It was like seeing a wall, blocking him.
"Weapon Spirit, what is this?"
Gu Zheng asked in his heart. If he didn't understand, he would ask the Weapon Spirit. Although the Weapon Spirit's temper was very arrogant, it was indeed an encyclopedia. It knew and understood everything.
"An energy immortal artifact. It's well made. It should be made by a master!"
The Weapon Spirit replied. It was rare for it to praise someone. To be called a master by the Weapon Spirit, it must be very powerful. This tower indeed had a strong background.
"I'm asking about the thing blocking me in front of me, not this tower!"
Gu Zheng already knew the origin of this tower. Whoever made it had nothing to do with him. He was not interested in knowing so much. He only wanted to know what was blocking him.
"This should be a restriction. You don't have the qualifications to enter, so it blocked you!"
"Restriction, can it be removed?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"I want to try. Relax your body and let me use your immortal power to see if it can be removed!"
The Weapon Spirit wanted to do it personally. This was an immortal artifact that even the Weapon Spirit praised. After coming to Earth for so long, this was the first thing that the Weapon Spirit had seen that caught its eye.
The rice marrow from before didn't count. That was planted by Gu Zheng himself. It was his luck.
Gu Zheng suddenly raised his hand. Gu Zheng looked at himself in surprise. He slowly stretched out his hand and stroked the layer of light shield. Under Gu Zheng's touch, the transparent light shield was like a small stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up layers of ripples.
The ripples became bigger and bigger. Gu Zheng's hand suddenly went in, followed by his body. As if passing through a layer of water curtain, his whole person broke through the light shield and came to the second floor.
The second floor was similar to the first floor. The only difference was that there were no tables and chairs. In the past, when Emei was flourishing, the tables and chairs were used by an elder to guard this place. The tower could only allow one disciple at a time. At most, only twelve people could enter in a day. Those who were not qualified were not allowed to enter, so someone had to guard it.
