Who Brought Him into Chapter 422 - 364: Fifth Tower Stories

Chapter 422: Chapter 364: Fifth Tower Stories

By the tea house, Ling Wuce looked at Han Yu as if he’d seen a ghost.

"Are you a devil?"

Getting those Nine Sects’ old codgers to do dirty work for you, what’s that all about?

"It’s just everyone’s got their own needs."

Han Yu shrugged expressively.

Nowadays, Han Yu wanted the Fire Spirit, and they wanted longevity, so everyone had a need and found mutual interest.

Ling Wuce had a terrible toothache, the logic was impeccable, but thinking about those living divine artists in the eyes of mortals, digging dirt and pulling grass in the deep mountains looking all dusty, while this guy leisurely drinks tea waiting for results.

"Anyway, one of them is the ancestor of your friend’s family, you really don’t hold back."

Ling Wuce chuckled and scolded, pulling at the corners of his mouth.

What he was referring to was the Mo Family’s transcendent realm ancestor, but there’s no going around it! There was only one pill of elixir, if not needed for the Fire Spirit, giving it away wouldn’t be a problem.

But now people were needed! If it’s given away through personal connections, who would help work?

"Didn’t you already say I’m a calamity star? In such a big place, relying purely on luck, I wouldn’t even buy it myself."

Han Yu sighed.

If things weren’t as they are, why would he be thinking of roping Ling Wuce in from the start?

Honestly, if not afraid of more trouble, he initially planned to let the Minzhou City Palace Guard lend a hand too.

But first, a city guard had its own responsibilities for defending the city, and second, with too many people below, it was bound to end up as public knowledge sooner or later.

Thus the idea of seeking the Inspectorate for help was also extinguished.

"The Inspectorate can’t help you either, you’ve probably heard about recent matters, all the fighters that can be borrowed from the Fifth Tower have been taken by Che Dapao."

"Even my Cultivator Institute was borrowed dry, it’s said all the instructors in the institute were forcibly recruited, so better not count on them."

Ling Wuce sighed, not sure whether for this righteous and demonic chaos or for his own Cultivator Institute.

"I have so good stuff for you, would you like to check it out?"

Han Yu suddenly opened his mouth, without waiting for the other to react, he pulled him over, and then stretched out his hand to reveal the Six Animals Pill.

There were only two days left, if he t soone suitable, Han Yu didn’t mind pushing it a bit.

After a round of persuasion, Ling Wuce’s face showed bewildernt, and his first words made Han Yu very happy.

"Six lives!"

Ling Wuce’s focus wasn’t like others’, no wonder he was smart!

It’s just that...

Ling Wuce hesitated for a long ti before looking up at him, sheepishly said, "The thing is good, but can I have it when I’m about to die?"

Han Yu’s smile imdiately faded, he put away the pill, rolling his eyes, they were all whites.

Damn it, people from the Divination Path are all the sa, the last one to say this was that loose-lipped elder from the Celestial Secret Tower, all of them are taking advantage without losing out.

If it really was between life and death, it wouldn’t be Han Yu begging them to take it, it would be them coming bankrupt and begging for it.

Honestly, if it weren’t for the ti limit, many of his pills under specific conditions could have ridiculously exaggerated effects.

So can even bring people back to life.

So are enough to defy heaven and change fate.

Finding a suitable person in a tight seven-day window was too hard, so often divine pills turned into sothing that traps people.

Seeing Han Yu pulling back the pill disinterestedly, Ling Wuce thought for a mont before suddenly speaking.

"Actually, there’s soone else who would be suitable to take your pill, just not sure if he’d agree."

Soone else?

Han Yu showed a hint of curiosity.

"And he’s quite closely linked to you."

That made it even more intriguing.

"Who is it?" Han Yu couldn’t help but ask.

"Elder Gao of the Inspectorate." Ling Wuce blurted out.

Him?

Ling Wuce nodded heavily, right now this pill that no one wanted, Gao Feng actually needed it, just afraid he couldn’t get over the ntal barrier concerning body changes.

"Elder Gao is the only surviving mber from the first generation that established the Fifth Tower, when the Fifth Tower was first created he single-handedly set up the Inspectorate and drafted all its current rules."

"Nowadays, he holds the highest prestige within the Inspectorate... no, the Fifth Tower."

The reason isn’t anything else, that first group had it tough, the Imperial Court just got a foothold, the Fifth Tower was hastily set up, it was like forcing a group of people to imdiately take office.

At that ti the Fifth Tower had nothing, wanting to reach into the Cultivator Realm was easier said than done.

Even the direction of developnt took years of exploration to confirm.

"Don’t be fooled by how Elder Gao seems kind and amiable now, the rules that cultivators must not engage in combat within the city and that cultivators who harm civilians shall be punished by death, were all set by him."

It’s imaginable how high Gao Feng’s spirits must have been back then.

But it was precisely because of the old bunch’s painstaking efforts that the Fifth Tower’s prototype was ford, laying the foundation.

Gao Feng’s mind was seriously damaged, dropping from the Realm of Transcendence to the Divine Gaze Realm, with his vitality heavily compromised and lifespan almost depleted.

"Although you see Elder Gao fine for now, in reality, he doesn’t have many years left to live."

"Quan Xiaotong is just afraid he has no attachnts anymore and might be gone anyti, that’s why he’s begging and pleading for him to return to the Inspectorate for support, hoping the old man could have more to hold on to."

Whether the Inspectorate lacks one more supervisor or not isn’t clear, but everyone in the different towers can see Quan Xiaotong’s intentions.

Ling Wuce finished with a fairly heavy sigh.

"I didn’t expect such a story behind the Fifth Tower, there seems to be so camaraderie, much better than the Cultivator Sects."

Han Yu spoke from the heart.

"You don’t really understand the Fifth Tower; I can’t promise future iterations of the Fifth Tower, but the current one is absolutely worth your trust."

"Do you know why when we asked the Nine Sects to lend people to serve as Guardians, they never send elite disciples?"

Ling Wuce was smiling, seemingly quite proud; at this mont, he had the immortal aura he had when they first t.

"It’s because our principles are correct, and many disciples from various sects after so ti inadvertently want to join; they’re afraid they’d end up losing themselves in it."

This was sothing Han Yu believed, akin to Ye Zhiqiu, Fatty Zhu who got sent back to the sect for ergency treatnt, Su Wanjun...

Not going too far, nearby, wasn’t Zhu Yu the sa, for long-term considerations, he convinced the sect to release nearly a thousand captives, at that mont he seed more a Guardian than a sect’s chief disciple.

"Actually, Old Ling, no need to make it so sentintal, the pill was ant to be a gift for free."

Han Yu seldom encountered this kind of atmosphere, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"Did you inform the Inspectorate?"

Ling Wuce thought whether to send word back to consult Quan Xiaotong’s opinion.

"They know."

Han Yu nodded, yesterday he sent a ssage asking the Inspectorate to pass it on to the Nine Sects, along with details on the effects of the two pills.

"Then we can wait for the news, what I can think of, that old fox Quan Xiaotong probably has too, maybe he’s already tead up with Che Dapao trying to convince Elder Gao."

Ling Wuce was very confident.

"Shall we get back to the main topic?"

Seeing Ling Wuce slowly breathing evenly, Han Yu tentatively asked.

Darn, who knew a proper conversation about the Fire Spirit would digress so much.

"I think it was you who took out the pill trying to coax him into taking it that led to the digression."

The Artifact Spirit couldn’t stand it, couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Then let’s get involved too."

As for the Fire Spirit, Ling Wuce was naturally interested, especially with the precedent set by the Wood Spirit Pearl, as for whether the Fire Spirit would be useful, it had to be coaxed first to find out.

Of course, all of this was on the premise of being able to find it.
