Chapter 183: Chapter 122: Dazzling Harvest, Choosing Treasures in the Tower [Subscribe please]_2

A gleam flashed through Zhou Chun’s eyes as he looked at the several storage pouches hanging from his waist and quickly made the decision to quit while he was ahead.

In life and in dealing with matters, one must never be greedy.

The gains from his “Heavenly Spirit Trial” had already far exceeded his initial estimates.

What he needed to do now was not to continue killing and plundering out of greed and insatiability, but to figure out how to preserve his gains and return safely to his clan.

A hunchbacked old man had forced him to use nearly all his strength, and both he and his two spirit pets were injured.

Who knew if there were more such characters among the remaining trial participants?

Who knew whether such characters would team up with others to hunt and kill other trial participants?

Given the sizeable gains he had already achieved, Zhou Chun didn’t want to gamble on that possibility.

Having made his decision, in the following days, he focused on refining his newly acquired magic artifacts and meditating to heal his wounds.

As the end of the trial drew nearer, those surviving participants fought more fiercely for one of the seven “Heavenly Spirit Orders” that would allow them to enter the Land of High Tower.

Zhou Chun, even from a hundred miles away, could sometimes hear the distant rumblings of explosions.

Thus, until the last day, Zhou Chun had Baibai, the Silver Lightning Python, stun the Fragrant Musk Deer with electricity and store it in the Spirit Beast Pouch before he set off for the seven-storied tower.

By then, several trial participants had already successfully entered the tower, chosen their rewards, and left the “Land of High Tower” to wait in the safe rest area for the end of the trial.

Meanwhile, the cultivators who had not yet gathered seven “Heavenly Spirit Orders” were lurking around the perimeter of the tower, still not giving up.

At that moment, Zhou Chun arrived!

He was already wearing the hat-shaped magic artifact that could conceal his face, preventing anyone from knowing he had entered the tower to claim treasures.

With the ingenious use of the Hidden Cicada Breathing Technique, he wasn’t discovered by those hiding outside until he approached the stone pavement near the tower.

But by then, it was too late for anyone to stop him.

And although he hadn’t been attacked, Zhou Chun could still feel those malicious gazes from the woods.

He quickened his pace until he reached the edge of the invisible restriction guarding the tower.

With his back to the very real but intangible formation behind him, he slapped his storage pouch and took out nine “Heavenly Spirit Orders” in an instant.

One could clearly feel that when he produced these “Heavenly Spirit Orders,” the malicious gazes from the woods dissipated significantly.

That must have scared them.

After all, they couldn’t even gather seven “Heavenly Spirit Orders,” while Zhou Chun was able to produce nine.

This was more than enough evidence of how powerful Zhou Chun was.

In the face of a strong opponent, who would dare to reveal their malice?

At this time, Zhou Chun spoke up in a hoarse voice, “As you can see, I have two extra Heavenly Spirit Orders here. Who would like to make an offer? Magic artifacts, Spiritual Medicine, anything goes for the exchange!”

Such a good deal?

In the woods, those who heard Zhou Chun’s words were all taken aback, some not daring to believe it was true.

But considering that one person could only enter the tower once, and knowing Zhou Chun had no need to lie about this, they soon came to believe it.

Very quickly, a voice called out, “How about two intact first-grade superior magic artifacts?”

No sooner had this offer been made, another voice shouted, “I offer two first-grade superior magic artifacts plus a two-hundred-year-old Spirit Ginseng.”

However, these two voices were just shouting from within the woods.

But there was one person who, as soon as Zhou Chun finished speaking, emerged directly from the woods.

A yellow-robed elder with a long sword at his waist leapt out from among the trees and floated down onto the stone plaza.

Then, looking at Zhou Chun, he waved his wide sleeve and said, “I offer four top-grade first-tier Magic Artifacts and four Hundred-Year Spirit Herbs!”

As these words were spoken, many Cultivators in the forest were startled, and for a moment, no one made a higher bid.

Zhou Chun did not wish to delay any longer and immediately nodded in agreement, “Alright, then these two Heavenly Spirit Orders are yours, fellow Daoist!”

Upon hearing his words, those Cultivators who had not placed a bid immediately felt regret gnawing at their hearts, cursing themselves for their hesitation.

On the other hand, the yellow-robed elder, upon hearing Zhou Chun’s declaration, immediately took out the Magic Artifacts and Spiritual Medicines he mentioned and tossed them one by one to Zhou Chun.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun did not procrastinate. He promptly took out the two Heavenly Spirit Orders and threw them back to the other party, then secured the Magic Artifacts and Spiritual Medicines he had received and, holding the seven Heavenly Spirit Orders, charged toward the invisible restricted area ahead.

It seemed to detect that he possessed the requisite seven Heavenly Spirit Orders.

Zhou Chun felt as if a gentle breeze brushed over him, and then he easily entered the area, walking to the front of the tower under the envious and jealous gazes of many Cultivators in the forest.

Meanwhile, the yellow-robed elder who had obtained two Heavenly Spirit Orders from Zhou Chun also took out five more Heavenly Spirit Orders from his Storage Pouch and entered the place.

It turned out he was just two Heavenly Spirit Orders short of the total needed, which explained his willingness to directly offer a high price to secure the Orders.

After sensing the commotion behind him, Zhou Chun only glanced back before he pushed open the tightly shut doors of the high tower and strode in.

Inside the first floor of the high tower, there was nothing else, just a Stele standing seven and a half meters tall, with a rough outline of the treasure retrieval process.

“So that’s how it is. Who would have thought that the senior Cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Sect were so playful!”

After reading the treasure retrieval process on the Stele, Zhou Chun couldn’t help but smile wryly.

According to the inscription on the Stele, simply inserting the seven Heavenly Spirit Orders into the seven slots behind the Stele would activate a Protective Barrier.

At that time, the faster one broke the Protective Barrier, the more precious the treasure they would obtain!

However, for this attack on the Protective Barrier, one is only allowed to strike on their own, without the help of any Talismans or Spirit Pets.

Zhou Chun didn’t know how this rule would be enforced now that the high-ranking Cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Sect were no longer there to supervise, but he felt no need to challenge the rule.

Moreover, he was confident that in terms of sheer offensive power, he was second to none!

He proceeded as the process dictated, inserting the seven Heavenly Spirit Orders one by one into the recesses behind the Stele.

Suddenly, a burst of seven-colored spiritual light erupted from within the Stele, quickly forming a barrier that enveloped it.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately invoked his red copper sphere Magic Artifact, transforming it into a massive fireball and hurling it toward the Protective Barrier.

A loud “boom” resounded as the seven-colored barrier violently shook, but showed no sign of shattering.

Zhou Chun paid no further attention to the depleted red copper sphere Magic Artifact and went on to forcefully unleash the Mini Thousand Hills Seal at the seven-colored Protective Barrier.

After this strike, minute cracks suddenly appeared all over the Protective Barrier, but it was still a fair bit from breaking apart.

Without wasting any time on charging up the Mini Thousand Hills Seal again, Zhou Chun then brought out the Twin-Pronged Flying Fork and stabbed it at the seven-colored barrier, while at the same time he launched the remaining Xinjin Sword Qi.

Boom!

Under the assault of the arriving platinum Sword Qi, the seven-colored Protective Barrier finally collapsed with a thunderous break.

Zhou Chun reckoned that the entire process must have taken him less than seven breaths.

Perhaps others could have done better, but Zhou Chun believed that this speed should at least rank him among the top few of the Cultivators participating in the trial.

Thus, he was quite looking forward to the treasure he would obtain.

And he did not have to wait long.

Shortly after the seven-colored Protective Barrier shattered, a large jade box about three feet wide and seven feet long appeared in front of him.

The jade box was engraved with many exquisite runes and emanated a faint spiritual light, as if the box itself was a remarkable treasure.

But what exactly was inside such a large jade box?

Filled with intense curiosity, Zhou Chun gently pushed the latch open with his hand and lifted the lid of the box.
