Chapter 1011

The price of the Cultivation Pagoda

Zhuowen nodded. The Holy Ice Fire Rune he had obtained from Ba Xue was incomplete. It was only a trace of the Holy Ice Fire Rune's origin. It could be said that it was extremely rare. This was also the reason why the Holy Ice Fire Rune was of less help to Zhuowen as his strength increased.

In the final analysis, the Holy Symbol of Ice Fire in his hand was only a trace of the Origin, and the power of the Holy Symbol of Ice Fire was too little. If Zhuo Wen had the complete Holy Symbol of Ice Fire, his strength would have risen to an extremely terrifying level.

However, the Ice Fire energy contained in the Cultivation Pagoda was many times stronger than the Holy Ice Fire Rune in his hand. Obviously, the Holy Ice Fire Rune's origin was much stronger than the one Zhuowen had obtained.

"Xiao Hei!

Do you think it's possible for me to snatch the Holy Ice Fire Rune's origin sealed in the Cultivation Pagoda? "Zhuowen suddenly asked in a whimsical manner.

"Boy!

Are you dreaming?

Don't tell me you don't know how powerful the Holy Rune's energy is?

When you refined that trace of origin, you also relied on the power of the Rune Spirit to succeed. The Holy Rune's origin in the Cultivation Pagoda is much stronger than the one you have. With your current strength, trying to snatch such a powerful origin is simply courting death. "

"Unless you have already controlled the Rune Spirit, you will definitely be devoured by the Ice Fire Rune's origin in the Cultivation Pagoda. At that time, you won't even know how you died." Xiao Hei said coldly.

Zhuo Wen shrugged and said, "I'm naturally aware of that, and I was merely thinking about it. However, the quintessence within this Cultivation Pagoda is formidable. Just these terrifying seals and restrictions outside the pagoda aren't something that I can deal with."

"It's good that you know!

You have a trace of the Holy Ice Fire Talisman's origin. You can't let the people of the Divine Academy know about this. If they find out, they will definitely order you to hand it over. They might even convict you. At that time, you won't be able to clear your name even if you jump into the Yellow River, "Xiao Hei continued to warn.

Zhuowen nodded solemnly. Back when he was in the Qing Xuan Empire, not many people knew about the existence of Sacred Talismans. Therefore, when Zhuowen used the Ice Flame Sacred Talisman, he was not recognized.

However, he was currently in the Jia Shen Institute. This was a world much larger than the Azure Xuan Empire. Experts were as common as clouds, and there were probably many people who knew about the existence of the Holy Talisman.

If Zhuowen rashly exposed the Ice Fire Saint Talisman, it was very likely that he would get into trouble. After all, Zhuowen was not stupid. He would not easily expose the Ice Fire Saint Talisman unless his strength reached a certain level.

"Brother Zhuo, shall we enter the Cultivation Pagoda to take a look?" Mo Lingtian asked Zhuowen.

"Go!

Let's go in and take a look. "

Zhuowen nodded. There was a trace of anticipation in his eyes. He wanted to see if the Cultivation Pagoda was really as magical as the seniors had said. It could actually increase one's strength by several times or even dozens of times by tempering one's meridians.

The Cultivation Pagoda was divided into ten levels. Zhuowen, Mo Lingtian and the rest followed the flow of people to the first level of the Cultivation Pagoda. Behind the arched door was a large living room. The floor was covered with smooth tiles. Although there were many people inside, the living room was large and did not seem crowded at all.

In front of the living room, there were five aisles. At the entrance of each aisle, there was a glass counter. On the counter stood a woman in a cheongsam with a smile.

What surprised Zhuowen was that the cultivation of the five cheongsam women standing on the counter was not low. The lowest cultivation was in the Xuanzun Realm, and the highest was in the Sovereign Realm.

Zhuowen led Mo Lingtian to a counter. The cheongsam woman in front of the counter immediately looked at Zhuowen and the rest with a smile.

"Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, which level of the Cultivation Room do you intend to enter?" The cheongsam woman asked with a smile.

"Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters?

Senior Sister is also a student of the Outer Court? "

Zhuowen and the rest were surprised. Looking at the way the cheongsam woman addressed them, it seemed that she was also a student of the Outer Court. They had thought that she was just a staff member.

The cheongsam woman also saw the surprise on Zhuowen and the rest's faces. Her beautiful eyes flickered as if she had thought of something. She smiled and said, "The five of you are new students?

At first, you didn't think that I was a staff member of the Academy, did you? "

Zhuowen and the rest looked at each other and smiled awkwardly. At first, they did think that the cheongsam woman was a staff member. Moreover, they did not expect that the students of the Outer Court would not enter the Cultivation Room to cultivate. Instead, they worked as service staff at the counter.

"To tell you the truth, there are no staff members in the Outer Court. The chores in the Cultivation Room are all assigned by the students of the Outer Court!" The cheongsam woman seemed to have thought of something and explained with a bitter smile.

"The chores are also done by the students?

Don't the students need to cultivate? "Jia Nan asked curiously.

"Junior Brother!

You have not lived in the Outer Court, so you naturally do not know the cruelty of the Outer Court.

The annual tuition fee of the Outer Court is twenty thousand contribution points. If you are unable to gather twenty thousand contribution points in a year, you will be expelled by the Academy. "

"Moreover, cultivation requires contribution points. If you do not have contribution points, you do not have the qualifications to enter the Cultivation Tower to cultivate. Other than that, the resources, weapons, Qi Methods and so on that you need will not be given to you for free by the Academy. You will need contribution points to exchange for them."

At this point, the bitterness on the cheongsam woman's pretty face became even more intense. She continued, "If you have contribution points in the Outer Court, you will be able to obtain everything you want. However, if you do not have contribution points, it will be difficult for you to move forward. You might even face the danger of being expelled."

"To the monstrous geniuses of the Outer Court, it is very easy for them to obtain contribution points. After all, they are very powerful. They only need to complete a few missions of high difficulty and high reward. In one go, they will be able to obtain tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of contribution points. However, ordinary students are unable to do so."

"In order to allow ordinary students to survive, the Academy has arranged many miscellaneous jobs in the Academy. As long as you complete these miscellaneous jobs, you will be able to obtain some contribution points as a reward. This counter service is one of the miscellaneous jobs that I have obtained."

Hearing these words, Zhuowen, Mo Lingtian and the rest were startled. They had just entered and were completely unaware that doing miscellaneous jobs would also give them contribution points as a reward. However, they also knew that the rewards for such miscellaneous jobs would definitely not be very high.

If it was a student with an ordinary aptitude, perhaps they would be willing to do such low-paying and boring miscellaneous jobs. However, those who were talented and powerful would definitely choose to do those high risk and high reward missions.

The cheongsam woman in front of them was only at the middle stage of the Xuanzun Realm. Looking at her age, she should be around twenty-six years old. Her aptitude was indeed not as good as those talented geniuses. However, in the outside world, she was considered a rare genius.

Zhuowen and the rest nodded their heads as they sighed in their hearts. It seemed that the Academy also followed the law of the jungle. The stronger one was, the stronger one would naturally be, and the weaker one would gradually fade into the crowd.

Since they were unable to make themselves stronger, the weak would ultimately choose to be content with the status quo. It could even be said that they were satisfied with the miscellaneous jobs that the Academy had arranged for them. However, they did not know that this would only cause the gap between them and the other geniuses to become larger and larger. In the end, it would form an insurmountable gap.

However, these were the choices of others. Zhuowen naturally would not meddle in other people's business. He only wanted to ensure that he would constantly become stronger and be able to protect the people and things that he cherished.

"Senior!

Can you introduce us to this Cultivation Pagoda?

After all, we are also new students who have just arrived. We really do not know anything about this Cultivation Pagoda. "Zhuowen suddenly asked with a smile.

The cheongsam woman nodded her head. This was her job and she naturally would not refuse.

"You guys have also seen it. The Cultivation Pagoda is divided into ten floors!

Every floor has many private rooms. Within these private rooms, there is an enormous amount of ice and fire energy. These ice and fire energy can temper the meridians! "

"Of course, the effect of tempering the meridians on each floor of the Cultivation Pagoda is different. The first floor's effect is the worst. As the number of floors increases, the effect of tempering will also gradually increase. The tenth floor's effect is the best. Of course, it also requires the most Contribution Points." The cheongsam woman indifferently explained.

"Senior, can you introduce us to the price of each floor of the Cultivation Pagoda?" Jia Nan suddenly asked.

The cheongsam woman nodded her head and continued, "The first floor's price is ten Contribution Points per hour. The second floor's price is twenty Contribution Points per hour and so on. The tenth floor's price is one hundred Contribution Points per hour."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhuowen, Mo Lingtian, and the other four all frowned. The price of this Cultivation Pagoda was very expensive. Just the first floor's price was ten Contribution Points per hour. That meant that one day, twelve hours would cost one hundred and twenty Contribution Points. One month would cost three thousand six hundred Contribution Points, and one year would cost forty-three thousand two hundred Contribution Points.

This was a huge sum of money. Even on the first floor, there might not be anyone who had so many Contribution Points. The amount of Contribution Points required to stay in there for a year was just too much.

What was even more abnormal was the tenth floor. Every hour required one hundred Contribution Points. The price was ten times that of the first floor. In other words, staying on the tenth floor for a year would cost more than four hundred thousand Contribution Points. This was just too terrifying.

As everyone knew, a martial artist's cultivation was usually measured in years. With the Cultivation Pagoda's price being so expensive, some martial artists who did not have much wealth would only be able to cultivate in the Cultivation Pagoda for a few days. Even martial artists who had a lot of Contribution Points would find it difficult to cultivate in the Cultivation Pagoda for more than half a year. After all, the price was just too high.

"Juniors, you are all new students. You should have never tempered your meridians in the Cultivation Pagoda, right?

However, I need to remind you that the first tempering of your meridians is extremely important. You must stay in there for a month. This way, the first tempering of your meridians will be perfect. In the future, it will also be able to expand your meridians and build a solid foundation. "
