Chapter 1057: 966 Myriad Beasts Tower Anomaly

"We are not certain that the Myriad Beasts Tower can definitely take people with it; if we are wrong, they will perish along with their path of cultivation," Shen Long said.

"Chu Yun, your efficiency is quite impressive, to have built so many Spirit Medicine Gardens and palaces in such a short time," Chu Buyu praised.

"Several months have passed, that’s not exactly fast!" Chu Yun replied with confusion.

Hearing this, Shen Long and Chu Buyu were taken aback.

They had only ascended to the True Immortal Realm just over a month ago, how could Chu Yun say it had been several months?

"That’s not right! Didn’t you start building just over ten days ago?" Shen Long asked, puzzled.

Ten days earlier, he had instructed Shen Lang and Chu Yun to direct Shen Hu and others to start construction. It had not even been half a month yet, and Chu Yun was saying it had been several months.

"Nope! We have been building for over three months; how could it have been only ten days?" Shen Lang replied, also puzzled.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.

Thinking of something, Shen Long sent Chu Buyu out of the Myriad Beasts Tower to keep track of time.

An hour later, Shen Long exited the Myriad Beasts Tower and asked, "My dear, how long has it been?"

"Almost half an hour!" Chu Buyu stated seriously.

"Just as I thought, the flow of time on the ninth layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower is ten times that of the outside world!" Shen Long felt a surge of ecstasy.

He had assumed that the ninth layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower merely had more Immortal Yuan Qi. He never expected that the flow of time would be ten times faster than the outside world, which would make gathering resources far easier for them.

"But that’s strange! Why was there no issue when we were in The Lower Realm? How did the Myriad Beasts Tower undergo such a change upon arriving at the Immortal Realm? What could be the reason?" Chu Buyu wondered.

After ascending to the Immortal Realm, they hadn’t made any extraordinary moves, and the Myriad Beasts Tower hadn’t shown any anomalies until now.

"Could it be the pressure of the forces between realms? Or is it some other reason?" Shen Long was visibly confused.

They entered the second layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower.

They toured the second layer without noticing anything unusual.

After numerous experiments, they discovered that only the time flow rate on the ninth layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower was ten times that of the outside world. The second through the eighth layers had the same time flow rate as the outside world.

That is to say, if they cultivated for a million years on the ninth layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower, only a hundred thousand years would pass on the outside, but their lifespans would be shortened by a million years, not just a hundred thousand.

"A Time Immortal Artifact?" Shen Long was beside himself with excitement.

According to Ye Qingyu’s introduction, a Time Immortal Artifact is quite a valuable type of Immortal Artifact that can speed up the flow of time. However, Ye Qingyu didn’t elaborate much on Time Immortal Artifacts, merely providing a brief description.

"Strictly speaking, it might not count as one. The Myriad Beasts Tower can increase the Purity of Bloodline and the advancement probability of Spiritual Beasts and Insects as well as Birds. The flow of time might only be a function of the ninth layer, and the tenth layer might have even more powerful functions," Chu Buyu speculated.

Being an Artifact Refiner, she had a deeper understanding of treasures.

Shen Long nodded and said, "With tenfold time acceleration, I won’t have to worry about Immortal Elixirs anymore. However, to be cautious, we should not sell the Immortal Elixirs cultivated in the Myriad Beasts Tower, especially in front of the Ye Family cultivators. We still have to pretend to be extremely poor."

They had ascended to the Immortal Realm for less than three days and still needed to find work at the Ye Family’s Elixir Shop. If they suddenly became lavish, even fools would realize something was amiss.

Chu Buyu nodded and said, "That won’t be difficult, pretending to be poor is no issue at all. This way, my husband can refine and sell Immortal Pills to gather resources. Once your Alchemy skills improve, we can afford to be a little more generous."

"It seems we have underestimated the Myriad Beasts Tower; it is just unclear why there was no time acceleration in The Lower Realm," Shen Long mused.

Shen Long expressed his confusion.

"In any case, since the Myriad Beasts Tower is in your hands, you can take your time to explore and will sooner or later figure it out thoroughly,"

Chu Buyu said with a smile.

"That’s true. With the Myriad Beasts Tower in hand, it’s much more convenient for us to obtain resources."

Shen Long’s face was filled with a smile.

After some idle chatter, he walked into an alchemy room and sat cross-legged on a red meditation cushion.

He took out the Qinglian Casket and examined it carefully.

"Who knows what good stuff is inside, I can’t even open it right now,"

Shen Long muttered to himself.

He put away the Qinglian Casket and sat in meditation to regulate his breathing.

An hour later, Shen Long opened his eyes and took out the Qianyang Cauldron to begin refining an Eighth Rank Elixir.

Everything is hard in the beginning. Currently knowing only a few True Immortals and without friends or relatives, Shen Long planned to use his identity as an alchemist to make a breakthrough.

······

In a quiet estate named "Qingmei Garden," the signboard bore three golden characters.

A plump woman in a blue dress and a tall, thin young man in a yellow robe were sitting in a green Stone Pavilion, enjoying tea and chatting leisurely.

"Junior Sister Ye came to the marketplace with two Early-Stage True Immortals? Junior Brother Liu, don’t you recognize them?"

The woman in the blue dress asked inquisitively.

Liu Yuqian, Late-Stage True Immortal.

"I don’t recognize them; I have never seen them. I guess they’re True Immortals attached to the Ye Family’s influence,"

The young man in the yellow robe speculated.

Liu Yang, Middle-Stage True Immortal.

The Liu Family and the Ye Family are two competing interest groups, with the ancestors of both houses not on good terms.

The Tianyue Sect has many affiliated forces, and the immortals from these forces will befriend different groups within the Sect to gain greater benefits. Having connections within the Sect makes official matters easier.

The same accomplishment, if endorsed by a Tianyue Sect disciple versus without any endorsement, would surely yield different benefits.

"That should be the case. The Ye Family’s foundation is shallower than ours; they are more focused on winning over smaller forces. Never mind her, at the grand sect competition in 200,000 years, we must secure a good ranking,"

Liu Yuqian said in a deep voice.

"Junior Sister Liu’s True Immortal Realm Golden-Winged Flame Sculpture has cultivated into a True Spirit, surely securing a good ranking,"

Liu Yang offered his compliments.

"A single True Immortal Realm True Spirit isn’t enough. If the Xuan Water Ape could also cultivate into a True Spirit, my chances would be better. Keep an eye out for the Eight Treasures Mysterious Spirit Fruit. The Eight Treasures Mysterious Spirit Pill refined from this fruit can increase the chances of Spiritual Beasts and Birds cultivating into True Spirits,"

Liu Yuqian expressed her anticipation.

"Don’t worry, Junior Sister Liu. I’ll take care of it. However, since the Xuan Water Ape is already in the True Immortal Realm, relying solely on the Eight Treasures Mysterious Spirit Pill may not be enough for it to cultivate into a True Spirit. If it is fed a Dao Pill, its chances of cultivating into a True Spirit would be quite high,"

Liu Yang said.

"A Dao Pill? It’s too difficult for a True Immortal Cultivator to obtain a Dao Pill. Golden Immortals would contest for it. While it may be available at large auctions, the competition is too fierce. Within our Tianyue Sect, only three Immortal Alchemists who are Golden Immortals can refine Dao Pills, and I certainly cannot request them to refine Dao Pills for me,"

Liu Yuqian sighed.

"If Grandmaster Lin had not perished, our Tianyue Sect would have had four Immortal Alchemists capable of refining Dao Pills,"

Liu Yang said in a tone of regret.

"Indeed! Sooner or later, we will settle the score with the Heavenly Ghost Sect. If Grandmaster Lin were still alive, our Tianyue Sect would develop even better,"

Liu Yuqian sighed again.

After some more chit-chat, Liu Yang took his leave.
