Aren't you worried?

Iron Mask simply sat at the entrance as well, listening to the Tower Master's narration.

However, the more the Tower Master spoke, the more alarmed Iron Mask became.

Because he felt that this Shangguan Yun was too much of a Prodigy.

Back then, Shangguan Yun had set a trap for Jiang Chuyao.

Letting Jiang Chuyao resolve her financial issues.

The purpose was to see if the person behind the scenes wanted to incite Jiang Chuyao to defect without spending any money.

After coming out of the Secret Realm.

Jiang Chuyao did indeed resolve her financial problems, and she had also inadvertently picked up a memory pearl.

Out of curiosity at the time, Jiang Chuyao also learned of its contents.

Had Zhou Ziming not been in the Blood Rain Tower all along.

And since he was a man of his word, unlike the Zhou Ziming portrayed in the images, Jiang Chuyao's state of mind would likely have wavered back then.

Because of this matter, Shangguan Yun had nearly drawn her blade back then.

But seeing that Jiang Chuyao ultimately managed to remain rational.

She managed to escape that disaster.

Once Shangguan Yun learned of these events, she had Li Tang investigate the matter.

After Li Tang spent a year investigating, Shangguan Yun connected the clues and traces, ultimately concluding that the memory pearl seemed to be related to the White Jade Capital.

However, the White Jade Capital was a place that was difficult to investigate and impossible to verify.

For the remaining time, Li Tang was investigating the matters of the Nine Palaces.

In any case, the Blood Rain Tower already knew everything Iron Mask knew.

And the Blood Rain Tower also knew things that Iron Mask did not.

After listening, Iron Mask couldn't help but gasp.

"Let me catch my breath!"

"Shangguan Yun is a real Prodigy, and being able to deduce such things from mere traces is indeed ridiculous!"

"But what on earth is with this Li Tang? What is his current strength? How did he investigate this?"

Speaking of this.

Even the Tower Master's expression was hard to describe.

"It was built with lives!"

Iron Mask: "???"

"Then how many Disciples were sacrificed?"

The Tower Master shook his head.

"Not a single one died; Li Tang used his own lives to build it."

Iron Mask was a bit confused.

"What do you mean? Li Tang has countless lives?"

The Tower Master nodded.

"Yes. In any case, I saw him die many times, but every time he died, a brand new Li Tang would walk out and continue the investigation!"

"It even makes me feel like Li Tang's lives are worth nothing!"

"As for how he did it, I don't know!"

Since the Tower Master said it himself, Iron Mask naturally believed it.

But he still felt it was a bit perverse.

What kind of god-like beings are these?

But suddenly, Iron Mask felt something was off.

"Wait, aren't you usually busy with official business? Why are you so idle now?"

The Tower Master smiled.

"I promoted Shangguan Yun to Vice Tower Master and gave all the work to her. Naturally, I've become idle!"

Iron Mask was stunned.

Then he started laughing.

"Aren't you afraid of being sidelined?"

The Tower Master didn't care.

"If I'm sidelined, then I'm sidelined. My goal anyway is to achieve the Great Dao and go further. Besides, I've discovered one thing: having Shangguan Yun around makes my life so much easier!"

"I strike wherever she tells me to strike. When there's nothing for me to do, I can do whatever I want!"

"Such a life couldn't be more comfortable!"

"And every month, the money I'm supposed to get isn't missing a single cent. I'm actually quite happy."

Iron Mask was suddenly envious.

He now wanted a life like that as well.

But Iron Mask was now a bit hesitant.

"Since you all already know the intelligence, do I still need to report back?"

The Tower Master didn't know either.

"Hold on, let me ask!"

Then the Tower Master took out a jade tablet and wrote Shangguan Yun's name on it.

Before long, a projection emerged from the jade tablet.

"Are you sending fresh fruit or tea leaves?"

The Tower Master felt a bit awkward.

"No, Iron Mask is back. He's asking if his intelligence needs to be reported again!"

Shangguan Yun nodded: "Yes, naturally it does. It's best if he reports what he knows in detail. Treat the things you told him as if he doesn't know them!"

The Tower Master nodded.

"Alright, I'll take him there now!"

Then he cut the connection.

Iron Mask felt it was all so unfamiliar.

"Tower Master, you don't seem like the Tower Master anymore. You seem like Shangguan Yun's lackey!"

The Tower Master wasn't angry either.

"You'll understand."

Iron Mask fell silent.

But upon entering the Blood Rain Tower's protective Formation.

Iron Mask suddenly felt as if he had come to the wrong place.

The Blood Rain Tower had been completely renovated, inside and out.

Whether it was the scenery or the buildings.

Everything was magnificent.

Iron Mask wondered if he had come to the wrong place.

Most importantly.

He could see people everywhere now.

No.

Why are there so many people?

And the Immortal Qi within this Blood Rain Tower is a bit excessively ridiculous, isn't it?

Although it wasn't on the scale of the Nine Palaces, it absolutely crushed the other Twelve Towers.

"This..."

The Tower Master said with a smile.

"This is all the Vice Tower Master's arrangement. She scrapped the previous Blood Rain Tower assessment system and directly promoted the Daoist Sect assessment standards!"

"There are no restrictions on people joining. They are assessed as long as they don't touch the core of the Blood Rain Tower. Those who pass are hired!"

"Once they become official Blood Rain Tower members, they are given a year to Cultivate, with an assessment after that year!"

The Tower Master couldn't explain it all in a short time.

He directly handed Iron Mask a manual.

It contained detailed information.

Iron Mask almost lost his composure when he saw the assessment content.

Screening Disciples was like sifting through sand for gold.

Ten thousand Disciples were selected through the simple and crude method of magical combat.

After those ten thousand Disciples entered the Sect, they were given three months to Cultivate.

From them, five thousand Disciples were selected to win. Of the remaining five thousand, the last two thousand would directly become Outer Sect members, managing the Blood Rain Tower or organizing archives.

Of course, they would also have the chance to be assessed again.

This way, perhaps more talent could be scouted.

As for the remaining three thousand, they were placed into the next batch of new Disciples. No resources were provided, and they were prepared for another assessment, though the difficulty would increase significantly!

As for the previous five thousand official Disciples, they were the focus of training. However, according to the Blood Rain Tower's previous rules, they were given an initial sum of money, after which they would need to be self-reliant if they wanted resources and Immortal Crystals for cultivation.

However, the Blood Rain Tower was not short of opportunities.

One was bounties.

The other was Sky Demons.

The corpse of a single Sky Demon could be exchanged for many Immortal Crystals, and live ones were even more valuable.

Iron Mask took a deep breath.

"Are we that rich now?"

The Tower Master smiled.

"You can't even imagine how much Zhou Ziming brought back from the Secret Realm. And you might only see the initial costs, but you might not know that Sky Demons are even more valuable!"

Iron Mask: "..."

But it had to be said.

As Iron Mask walked along, he indeed felt that the Blood Rain Tower was now filled with vigorous vitality.

Moreover, many of the official Blood Rain Tower Disciples were quite happy.

He even saw a batch of new official Disciples whose faces were flushed with excitement.

"This really is hard to imagine!"

The Tower Master smiled.

"Yeah, I didn't expect Shangguan Yun to be this capable either!"
