After learning the martial technique Shadow Veil, Yuan left the Martial Tower to visit another Breakthrough Tower. However, upon leaving the tower, he noticed an individual standing right outside.
This person was Apprentice Huan, who had decided to remain outside the Martial Tower to wait for Yuan. After all, he couldn't return to the Metal Tower without Yuan.
The moment Apprentice Huan noticed Yuan coming out, he rushed over to block his path.
"You're really persistent, I'll give you that," Yuan said.
"I will not return to the Metal Tower without you."
"In that case…"
"You can kill me if you want, but I will not budge," Apprentice Huan said, his voice unexpectedly calm. "My life will be over if I return to the Metal Tower without you, anyway." His usual arrogant and haughty demeanor was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a quiet resignation. freewēbnoveℓ.com
"I won't kill you, but I also won't return to the Metal Tower with you."
Yuan walked around Apprentice Huan and made his way to the teleportation formation.
Apprentice Huan didn't say anything and followed him behind in silence.
Yuan pretended he wasn't even there and continued walking.
Soon, he arrived at the teleportation formation.
When the individual managing the formation noticed the badge on Yuan's chest, he immediately lowered his head and spoke in a respectful tone, "How can I assist you today, Senior?"
"Bring me to the Cultivation Tower," Yuan responded.
"Right away."
Once Yuan entered the teleportation formation and disappeared, Apprentice Huan stepped forward and said, "Take me to the Cultivation Tower as well."
"Y-yes, Senior from the Metal Tower!"
Sometime later, Yuan arrived at the majestic Cultivation Tower, a structure similar in grandeur to the Martial Tower but exuding a vastly different atmosphere. The air around the Cultivation Tower felt serene and profound, filled with a sense of deep focus and spiritual energy.
Moreover, the Cultivation Tower was a magnet for spiritual energy, drawing it in such immense quantities that the surrounding city was shrouded in a visible fog of dense spiritual energy. When spiritual energy gathers in one place and becomes highly concentrated, it condenses into a mist-like form, making it visible to the naked eye.
Because of this immense concentration of spiritual energy, the area surrounding the Cultivation Tower became a prime location for cultivators. Only those with significant influence and power were permitted to reside close to the tower, enjoying the richer spiritual energy. Ordinary families and less influential individuals were relegated to the outer areas of the city, far from the tower's core benefits.
As Yuan neared the Cultivation Tower, a guard noticed him and approached with a measured stride. However, the moment the guard's eyes landed on the badge displayed on Yuan's chest, his expression shifted to one of surprise. Without saying a word, the guard hastily turned around and walked away with even larger strides, almost as if running away from a ghost while trying not to look scared.
