15: Before one crisis is over, another crisis arises, and the Tower of Diligent Repair is opened!

“Outer Sect Disciple Yang Kai, ten consecutive victories achieved! Awarded three Clarity Pills!”

“Did I hear that right? Since when did consecutive victories at the Martial Arts Arena come with rewards?”

“It’s actually Clarity Pills! And three of them at once! With these three Medicinal Pills, I can Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Middle Stage!”

“Damn it! Can these rewards be issued retroactively? What did my strenuous ten consecutive victories in the past count for?”

“Count for what? Naturally, it counts for you having strength!”

This voice caused the crowd in the Martial Arts Arena to burst into discussion, and Yang Kai, at the center of the storm, was equally startled.

This voice, like a grand bell, naturally came from Elder Teng’s mouth. Yang Kai recognized it immediately, and thus looked at Elder Teng with surprise.

“Kid, don’t misunderstand, this isn’t me giving you special treatment. This was ordered by the Sect Master himself. Not only are there rewards for ten consecutive victories, but the more consecutive victories, the richer the rewards.” Elder Teng said with some emotion.

Yang Kai’s forehead was covered in black lines after hearing this, thinking that Qing Xuanzi clearly didn’t want him to complete the trial of one hundred consecutive victories! With the previous sect contribution rewards plus these consecutive victory rewards, he could imagine how popular the Martial Arts Arena would be in the future!

“You can only take one Clarity Pill per day. It can quickly improve your Cultivation, but if you take too many, your body will develop resistance. After ten pills, the effect will be less than half of what it was initially. Take them.” Elder Teng took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and handed it over.

Yang Kai’s eyes lit up. He had heard Meng Yun talk about how extraordinary the Clarity Pill was before, and now he had obtained it so easily. He wished he could return to his residence immediately and Cultivate properly!

“Go on. You know the rules of the Martial Arts Arena. If you don’t come tomorrow, your winning streak will be broken. I’m telling you, you won’t get any rewards for achieving ten consecutive victories again.” Elder Teng saw the urgency in Yang Kai’s eyes and spoke to hurry him along.

Yang Kai respectfully bowed to Elder Teng and left the Martial Arts Arena under Elder Teng’s smiling gaze.

Leaving the Martial Arts Arena, Yang Kai jogged all the way back to his residence, locked the door, took out the Clarity Pill, and examined it carefully.

“This Medicinal Pill looks much more advanced than the qi gathering pill, and it even has a Medicinal Pill fragrance.” Yang Kai took out a qi gathering pill to compare with the Clarity Pill. The Clarity Pill was not only beautiful in appearance, but it also had a unique Medicinal Pill fragrance different from ordinary medicinal herbs, making it quite extraordinary.

Yang Kai had not yet made a sacrifice to the System today to receive a tenfold return. Naturally, he chose to sacrifice this Clarity Pill, and in the next instant, ten Clarity Pills appeared in the storage space in Yang Kai’s mind.

“I’ll try to see what effect this Clarity Pill has.” Thinking this, Yang Kai decisively took out a Clarity Pill and swallowed it.

Unlike the violent surge of Spiritual Qi from the qi gathering pill, the Clarity Pill quietly dissolved after entering Yang Kai’s body, directly bypassing the absorption and conversion of Spiritual Qi, causing the magic power in Yang Kai’s Dantian to rise steadily. The vast space that had increased after breaking through to the second layer of the Qi Refinement Stage was now flooded by a small portion of magic power, directly equivalent to more than a month of Yang Kai’s arduous Cultivation!

“Since Elder Teng said that I can only take one Clarity Pill a day, then I will take another one tomorrow. Next, I will Cultivate with Spirit Stones.” Although the feeling of his Cultivation soaring like a rocket was captivating, Yang Kai was not a person without willpower. Since Elder Teng had warned him, he naturally wouldn’t be tempted to take another Clarity Pill.

“Yang Kai! Yang Kai! Open the door quickly, there’s big news, big news!” Just as Yang Kai was about to Cultivate, Meng Yun shouted loudly while banging on the door.

Yang Kai quickly got up and opened the door. Before he could even ask, Meng Yun blurted everything out.

“Yang Kai, when I went to the Ji Shi Pavilion to collect my mission rewards just now, I heard everyone saying that the Qinxu Tower has been opened to Outer Sect Disciples! This is a great Opportunity! Let’s go check it out too!” Meng Yun gasped for breath, clearly having run over to find Yang Kai as soon as he heard the news.

The Qinxu Tower was a Trial Grounds of the Flowing Cloud Sect only open to Inner Sect Disciples. What it looked like inside was only known to those who had entered. Outer Sect Disciples knew very little about it, only that Inner Sect Disciples treasured this place and wished they could spend every day inside. Now that such a Holy Land for Cultivation was open to Outer Sect Disciples, it was no wonder Meng Yun was so excited.

Yang Kai raised an eyebrow. Within this single day, first the Martial Arts Arena underwent a major change, and then the Qinxu Tower was opened to Outer Sect Disciples. All these events revealed one signal: the Flowing Cloud Sect was going to vigorously support Outer Sect Disciples, and there must be some secret behind this that he didn’t know.

“Let’s go, we’ll go take a look.” Yang Kai let out a light breath. Rather than guessing blindly here, it would be quicker to go and investigate directly.

The location of the Qinxu Tower was already deep within the core area of the Flowing Cloud Sect. Nine towering peaks were not far away, as if guarding the giant tower standing in the center.

Yang Kai and Meng Yun were already late in receiving the news. The area was already surrounded by a huge number of Outer Sect Disciples. They struggled to push their way to the front and saw the scene inside.

“All Outer Sect Disciples listen! Although the Qinxu Tower is open to Outer Sect Disciples, it is not without cost. Ten sect contribution points are required to enter the tower once. Those without enough sect contribution points, quickly retreat!” In front of the tower, a gray-robed Elder spoke in an unfriendly tone, scolding them.

Ten sect contribution points was a huge sum for a Disciple like Yang Kai who had just joined. Only veterans who had been in the sect for several years might be able to afford so many contribution points, but they were also somewhat reluctant. For a moment, they were stuck there, no one retreating, but no one wanting to be the first to try either.

“Hmph! Since you don’t have the guts to go in, why bother standing here watching? Retreat quickly!” Seeing no one respond, the gray-robed Elder snorted coldly and waved his sleeve in one direction. Dozens of Outer Sect Disciples who had arrived early but had been observing were swept away, sent to an unknown location.

“Elder Qiu, don’t be angry. These Outer Sect Disciples don’t understand the wonders of the Qinxu Tower. Why bother getting angry with these people?” Just as the emotions of the Outer Sect Disciples were about to reach a freezing point, a young man in a purple Daoist robe, riding a Flying Sword, streaked across the sky and descended upon the place, respectfully bowing to the gray-robed Elder.

“Hmph! You hypocritical brat, don’t put on an act in front of me. Old rules: if you want to enter, you must pay one hundred sect contribution points. There’s a time limit of one incense stick. If you exceed the time, you’ll pay another one hundred sect contribution points, otherwise, you’ll be expelled from the Qinxu Tower.” Elder Qiu, however, gave the young man no Face at all, saying coldly.

The fake smile on the young man’s Face froze, but the next second he still smiled and said, “Elder Qiu, here are five hundred sect contribution points. This Disciple will go ahead.” He then took out a token, lightly touched it against a stone tablet next to Elder Qiu, and then entered the tower.
