Chapter 1843: The Spirit Convergence Tower

At the young man's command, several burly men immediately rushed out and surrounded Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan's expression turned cold. This fellow was utterly unreasonable—without even asking, he indiscriminately wanted to arrest him. What kind of logic was that?

"Your brother was drunk, and I brought him back. That's all."

Ye Yuan paid no heed to the guards surrounding him and merely explained calmly.

Unexpectedly, the young man sneered and said, "Heh, would you be so kind? I think you were plotting something against Brother Xu. What are you waiting for? Arrest him! If he dares to resist, kill him without mercy!"

The guards received the order and directly attacked Ye Yuan.

Their moves were extremely vicious—this was not an arrest but clearly an attempt to kill!

Ye Yuan's face turned cold, and his figure vanished instantly.

Several flashes of cold light streaked by. The young man saw a pile of palms flying into the air, accompanied by a chorus of screams.

Within a single breath, all the guards had their hands severed!

The young man's expression changed drastically. He clearly hadn't expected Ye Yuan to be so powerful.

Ye Yuan sheathed his sword and stood still, looking at the young man as he said calmly, "For Leng Xu's sake, I won't go on a killing spree today. But I warn you: don't provoke me!"

With that, Ye Yuan strode away.

The young man's face shifted several times. His gaze finally fell on Leng Xu, and his brows furrowed deeply.

"Ha... haha, how refreshing! Brother Ye Yuan, come, another cup!" Leng Xu shouted suddenly, his eyes bleary with drink.

"Ye Yuan? Who is this guy? Such formidable strength! Junhao, how does his strength compare to yours?"

A man in black suddenly appeared beside the young man and clasped his fists: "Subordinate... is not confident."

The young man said coldly, "I thought so, otherwise you would have acted just now. It seems the Black Smoke Duo failed. I didn't expect my useless brother to have found such an expert. I underestimated him. I thought he was just a First Heaven Celestial God, but his strength is so great that even you aren't confident. Go investigate him—dig up everything about him."

The young man glanced at Leng Xu, his face full of disdain.

The man in black said, "Yes!"

...

Leaving the Leng residence, Ye Yuan arrived at the Spirit Convergence Tower established by the City Lord's Mansion.

Ye Yuan's cultivation had reached the peak of First Heaven Celestial God, and he planned to go into seclusion here for a while to break through to Second Heaven Celestial God.

Currently, Ye Yuan's comprehension of laws far exceeded his own realm, and his realm had become the biggest factor limiting his strength.

The Spirit Convergence Tower was a self-service cultivation tower; anyone could enter to cultivate.

Of course, provided you had enough divine essence stones.

Moreover, they had to be mid-grade divine essence stones.

In the imperial capital, low-grade divine essence stones could no longer meet the cultivation needs of martial artists.

All transactions here were conducted with mid-grade divine essence stones.

The Spirit Convergence Tower had nine floors in total, and the cultivation chambers were rented by the day.

The first floor required ten mid-grade divine essence stones per day, equivalent to thirty thousand low-grade divine essence stones.

Going up, each floor required double the number of mid-grade divine essence stones.

By the ninth floor, it cost three thousand mid-grade divine essence stones per day—a truly terrifying number.

To think, three thousand mid-grade divine essence stones were equivalent to thirty million low-grade divine essence stones.

And this was just the cost for a single day of cultivation.

Of course, the effects were also completely different.

Ye Yuan had heard that the spiritual energy density in the ninth-floor cultivation chambers was even greater than that of a closed cultivation spirit eye.

Naturally, the number of divine essence stones required was also extremely terrifying.

Ye Yuan entered the Juyuan Tower and went straight to the third floor.

The Juyuan Tower had many cultivation chambers, with people coming and going frequently, making it quite lively.

When the martial artists on the third floor saw someone at the First Heaven of the Divine God stage coming up, they all cast sidelong glances.

Logically, a First Heaven Divine God should cultivate on the first floor.

Coming to the third floor was a pure waste of divine spirit stones.

Because the concentration of spiritual energy here could not be fully absorbed by a First Heaven Divine God.

The cultivation chambers on the third floor required a fee of fifty medium-grade divine spirit stones per day.

Ye Yuan looked around and finally found an empty cultivation chamber.

But he was a bit puzzled as to why no one was using this chamber.

Ye Yuan didn't think too much about it and directly placed four thousand five hundred medium-grade divine spirit stones into the card slot outside the chamber door.

His action drew a series of strange looks.

A First Heaven Divine God putting down over four thousand medium-grade divine spirit stones at once—what a tycoon!

"Hey, this kid is really a sucker!" someone nearby sneered.

Rumble...

With a loud noise, the chamber door slowly opened.

Just as Ye Yuan was about to enter, a cold voice came from behind: "Kid, this is my cultivation chamber. Who allowed you to enter?"

Ye Yuan turned around and saw a young man in fine clothes.

The young man looked at Ye Yuan with a mocking expression.

"Your cultivation chamber? Aren't these chambers unassigned?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.

The young man chuckled and said, "Aren't you wondering why this place is empty but no one comes to put in divine spirit stones?"

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Now that you mention it, it is a bit strange."

The young man said proudly, "This is my private territory, Han Xiao's. So no one dares to come!"

Ye Yuan looked at Han Xiao, curled his lips, and said, "I see. I didn't know. How about this: since I haven't gone in yet, return my divine spirit stones, and this chamber is yours."

Han Xiao laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Hahaha... You're asking me for divine spirit stones? That's hilarious!"

Around them, the other martial artists also wore mocking smiles.

"This kid, is he an idiot?"

"Han Xiao has tricked quite a few people with this method. But there's no helping it—he's too strong. No one within the Third Heaven of the Divine God stage is his match."

"This kid, a First Heaven Divine God, actually dares to ask Han Xiao for divine spirit stones. He's probably in for a beating."

...

Ye Yuan's face darkened, and he said, "So you deliberately waited until I put in the divine spirit stones before coming over?"

Ye Yuan naturally remembered this Han Xiao.

In fact, when he had come over earlier, Han Xiao was not far away.

Han Xiao laughed loudly, "I did it on purpose. What can you do about it? Now, get lost! Otherwise, you'll be carried out lying down!"

Bang!

Before Han Xiao's words faded, he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall of the opposite cultivation chamber, spitting blood.

Ye Yuan's kick was solid.

"There are arrogant idiots everywhere! Let this be a lesson to you—not everyone you can afford to mess with."

Ye Yuan withdrew his gaze, which was like looking at an idiot, turned around, and entered the cultivation chamber, leaving everyone stunned.

Rumble!

As Ye Yuan entered, the chamber door slowly closed.
