Chapter 446: Sixty Days

The Black Tower was mysterious and unpredictable, constantly emitting a powerful pressure. As soon as Xiao Fan reached the five-hundred-meter mark, he felt his body being suppressed by a mysterious force…

"No wonder the standing area earlier was a thousand meters away…"

Xiao Fan muttered to himself. The closer he got to the Black Tower, the more intense the pressure he felt.

It felt as if iron weights were being piled onto him, more and more of them. If he were an ordinary person, he probably wouldn't even be able to get within nine hundred meters before being crushed to the point of being unable to breathe…

Xiao Fan moved forward step by step. When he reached the hundred-meter mark, the pressure vanished, replaced by a sense of awe…

This awe arose from deep within his heart; it was difficult to describe.

It was a sense of reverence for this Black Tower!

Continuing forward, several people ahead of Xiao Fan entered the Black Tower one after another.

The pitch-black tower gate constantly emitted a faint, eerie light…

It would scan every youth who entered the tower…

"Bang"…

A dull, heavy thud echoed from the front of the Black Tower gate. A youth dressed in blue robes was sent flying by a mysterious, massive force…

He flew a full hundred meters away, falling to the ground and unable to get up, coughing up blood.

Xiao Fan was startled, but then he understood the reason.

"This person must be over twenty-five years old, yet he still tried to force his way into the Black Tower," Xiao Fan murmured.

Such things happened every time. Some people who didn't believe in the rules wanted to enter the Black Tower to try their luck for an Opportunity, only to be sent flying by the tower in the end…

Everyone entered one after another, and eventually, it was Xiao Fan's turn.

As Xiao Fan stepped through the Black Tower gate, a beam of eerie black light scanned his body…

In the blink of an eye, it swept through his body countless times, as if performing some kind of inspection.

Xiao Fan was puzzled, but he entered the tower smoothly.

Upon entering the first floor of the Black Tower, Xiao Fan was shocked…

In fact, it wasn't just him; everyone who entered the tower was filled with astonishment.

Even Lu Yueshan, the proud female Alchemist, had a face full of shock.

Because after entering the tower, it felt as if they had entered another world…

The interior of the tower wasn't dark; instead, it was filled with light. They were currently standing in the middle of a boundless grassland…

Someone leaned down to touch the flowers and grass on the ground, only to find that they were all illusory…

Xiao Fan was shaken; it was his first time entering such a place.

The entire world was an illusion.

"Could this really be a Heaven Rank Magical Artifact…" Xiao Fan was astonished, recalling what Kong Ping had said earlier.

This Black Tower was far too mysterious…

There were nearly a hundred Jixian Sect Disciples around him, and Ji Bofeng was among them.

They had entered at the same time as Xiao Fan.

Although they weren't well-acquainted and hadn't even spoken to each other normally, they were all Disciples of the Jixian Sect.

It was better to stay united after entering this place.

People continued to enter one after another. Here, they didn't feel any different from the outside world.

After fifteen minutes, the flow of people entering the Black Tower gate stopped…

At this moment, on the first floor of the tower, Xiao Fan scanned the area and saw roughly three thousand people.

"I didn't expect there to be so many people…" Xiao Fan was surprised.

Right then, the heavy gate of the Black Tower vanished instantly…

It vanished…

Disappearing into thin air…

The crowd was even more shocked. They were now completely within a space of light.

At that very moment, they felt the Spiritual Qi in the surrounding air disappear…

"Where's the Spiritual Qi? Did you guys feel it?"

"Idiot, once the Sacred Pill Tower closes, there is no spiritual power inside!"

"…"

The crowd was in an uproar. Xiao Fan also remembered that Kong Ping had mentioned this to him before.

The Sacred Pill Tower was prepared for Alchemists, not for people to come in and cultivate, so there was no spiritual power inside.

This was also to prevent those who weren't of the Alchemy lineage from trying to use the Black Tower's time dilation to cultivate.

Just then, a stiff voice rang out in everyone's ears…

"Everyone, welcome. You will have sixty days to study various pharmacological principles. After sixty days, an assessment will be held. Only ten percent of the people will remain after the first assessment."

The voice was genderless and emotionless, with an ethereal tone.

"Sixty days?!" Xiao Fan was shocked.

The faces of everyone around were also filled with shock as they began to discuss among themselves.

Suddenly…

Within this light-filled space, various ancient books appeared out of thin air everywhere…

A stack of ancient books also appeared not far in front of Xiao Fan. He walked up to take a look.

He found that these ancient books all introduced various Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines… from their appearance to their effects, as well as their fire resistance. The descriptions were extremely detailed…

"So that's how it is," Xiao Fan whispered.

This Black Tower gave them sixty days, which was two days in the outside world.

It allowed everyone to study Pharmacology here before undergoing an assessment.

If they passed, they could proceed to the next stage, which would also last sixty days.

Xiao Fan wasn't the only one who figured this out; most people did as well.

As for the various Pharmacopeias and ancient books here…

Most of them were duplicates, so there would be no fighting over them. Everyone could read them.

The Disciples of the Jixian Sect and others each picked up an ancient book and began to study…

Xiao Fan did the same, sitting cross-legged and beginning to study these ancient books.

For him, this was a rare Opportunity.

He possessed the Enlightenment Seed, and his comprehension and learning abilities were far beyond those of ordinary people.

This Opportunity was practically made for him!
