Chapter 671: A Gift
After everyone else left, Zhong Wuji put one hand behind his back and held a token in the other.
The size of the token was exactly the same as a notch in the mechanism on the entrance gate of the Divine Wind Palace. After the token was perfectly inserted into the notch, very intricate patterns appeared on the smooth gate. A few seconds later, the patterns disappeared, and with a deafening click, the gate was slowly pushed open by an invisible force.
Zhong Wuji strode into the Divine Wind Tower. Ye Fei, Li Yuan, and Wenren Qi exchanged a glance, and the three of them followed Zhong Wuji inside.
As Zhong Wuji entered, the previously pitch-black Divine Wind Tower suddenly lit up, allowing everyone to see the situation inside.
The interior of the Divine Wind Tower is hollow, with three luminous pearls emitting a bright glow at the top. A spiral black stone staircase extends upwards from one floor to the next, with storage shelves and bookshelves against the walls on each floor, displaying all kinds of treasures and secret manuals.
Zhong Wuji turned to look at the young man and woman behind him and said with a smile, "This is the interior of the Divine Wind Tower. The three of you are the top three juniors in terms of individual points in this Cangzhou Grand Gathering. Therefore, you can choose any technique or manual that suits you."
"But apart from techniques and secret manuals, other treasures must never be touched lightly, because they are protected by a protective array. Touching them will result in severed limbs or even death."
Ye Fei bowed to Zhong Wuji with clasped hands and said, "Thank you for your reminder, senior. Being able to enter the Divine Wind Tower is already a great blessing. How could we dare to have any other thoughts about coveting the treasures here? Please rest assured, senior."
Zhong Wuji had a good impression of the girl in front of him. Not only was she a dual spiritual root holder like Huang Rongyu, but she was also an alchemist, and her alchemy skills even shocked the Duan clan.
But now that we've actually started talking, I've realized that this girl is calm and composed, neither arrogant nor impatient, and her temperament far surpasses that of most of her peers.
Lingfeng Academy did indeed take in a very good student.
Zhong Wuji gazed intently at Ye Fei and said, "This is not a favor. Being able to enter the Divine Wind Tower is proof of your strength."
"Alright, kids, go and choose."
Wenren Qi bowed respectfully to Zhong Wuji, then nodded to Ye Fei and Li Yuan before ascending the steps.
Ye Fei grabbed Li Yuan's sleeve and followed him. When they arrived at the second floor of the Divine Wind Tower, they began to select techniques and secret manuals from the bookshelves one by one.
Li Yuan silently stayed behind Ye Fei, occasionally reaching out to pull out a secret manual and flipping through a few pages.
Compared to Ye Fei's focused expression, the Emperor was not interested at all—he had no shortage of techniques or secret manuals in the Demon Realm.
Now, he only wants to find something suitable for Fei'er to use.
"Why are you following me? You should go look for it too." Ye Fei gave him a push.
Li Yuan hummed in agreement and turned to walk towards another bookshelf.
...
The three of them had been inside the Divine Wind Tower for a full half hour.
Zhong Wuji waited patiently on the first floor. In his eyes, choosing a technique manual that was perfectly suited to him was not an easy task.
Therefore, he can be a little more patient.
Wenren Qi came downstairs and handed the book in his hand to Zhong Wuji: "Senior, I have made my choice."
Zhong Wuji took it and flipped through a few pages. It was a book on advanced techniques for dark-elemental spirit masters.
Advanced techniques refer to those that cultivators can learn only after reaching the fifth level of Spirit Master cultivation.
Zhong Wuji pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over Wenren Qi's face: "I rarely see you in the Water Mirror. I didn't expect you to be a dark-type spirit master."
