Chapter 60: Star Tower

Han Ting talked non-stop on the way back.

"Uncle Yu, I didn't expect so many people to come and listen to you lecture on the Dao. It seems you are quite popular among the Utility Disciples here."

"What? Do you think no one wants to listen to me? I am, after all, at the Foundation Establishment Stage Level 9."

"Of course! Look at how you act when you teach me. You're either sleeping in a hammock or fishing by the river."

"But I didn't expect Uncle Yu to be so serious when lecturing those Disciples. It's quite different from how you teach me."

"The way I teach you is special training; of course, it can't be compared to this."

"Alright, go back and get your zither. Let me see how your Musical Talent has progressed recently."

At this moment, beautiful zither music drifted from Su Yu's courtyard. If an ordinary person heard it, they would quickly become immersed in it.

"Stop, stop, stop! No, this won't do. No wonder you lost to someone else. Your Musical Talent hasn't improved at all. You must have been slacking off and not practicing, right?"

"I've been busy with other things."

"I seem to recall Brother Han saying that his daughter, Tian Tian, plays outside all day and hasn't been putting much effort into her Cultivate."

Seeing that she had been exposed, Han Ting did not refute Su Yu's words.

"Alright, since you want to defeat others, don't expect an easy time for a while."

During this period, anyone passing by Su Yu's courtyard could hear the sound of the zither.

Han Ting sat in Su Yu's courtyard practicing the zither every day, while Su Yu sat nearby, either sipping tea or drinking wine.

"With this Little Girl playing the zither here every day, my life is actually quite comfortable."

Su Yu put down the teacup in his hand.

"Hmm, not bad. After this period of study, you have made significant progress."

"Defeating the opponent you mentioned shouldn't be a problem anymore."

Han Ting immediately ran to Su Yu, picked up his teapot, poured a cup of tea, and downed it in one gulp.

"Great! Now I can go back and wash away my previous shame."

"Look at the way you're drinking tea. Who taught you to drink like that?"

"I'm just too happy! Alright, I'm going to find her and have a match now."

Han Ting dragged Su Yu along on the way to the match, but soon Su Yu realized something was wrong. Wasn't this the Restaurant he had come to before?

No wonder Han Ting lost to someone else. He was quite familiar with Yu Yao's Musical Talent. It seemed she had reached the next Realm; Ling Wanqing's performance must have been a great help to her.

"If you want to have a match with someone, go ahead. I'll just watch from the side."

Han Ting walked into the Restaurant, while Su Yu found a seat and sat down.

Han Ting found Yu Yao. When Yu Yao saw Han Ting had returned, she knew why she was there. After all, Han Ting had lost to her in their previous match, so it was highly likely she was here for another one.

After Han Ting explained her intention, the two hit it off immediately. After all, Han Ting's Musical Talent wasn't much worse than hers back then, and the fact that she dared to come now meant she had improved.

She also wanted to see how her Musical Talent was now.

"Look, that girl is here again. She lost to Miss Yu Yao last time. It's a pity, as their Musical Talent is quite evenly matched."

"Looking at her now, it seems she has come prepared. But I hope both of them win; it's hard to choose."

The match between the two began quickly, with Yu Yao starting to play first.

Listening to the continuous sound of the zither, Su Yu realized it was true: Yu Yao had reached the Realm where she could influence people's emotions and draw them into the music.

After listening to Yu Yao's performance, Su Yu already knew the result, as Han Ting had just played it for him not long ago.

Clearly, the current Han Ting was better than Yu Yao.

Seeing that Yu Yao had finished playing, Han Ting began her performance.

As Han Ting plucked the strings continuously, the lingering sound filled the Restaurant. Everyone felt as if they were floating in a celestial Realm, their moods rising and falling like a roller coaster. When the music reached its climax, some people even danced along with the melody.

After the song finished, the crowd below was the first to speak.

"It looks like Miss Yu Yao has lost this time."

They could tell whose performance was superior.

After listening, Yu Yao admitted her defeat, a result Su Yu had long anticipated.

Han Ting was instantly beaming with joy.

"I told you I would win when I came back!"

On the way back, Han Ting was still very happy.

"I finally beat Yu Yao! It was worth all the non-stop practice these past few days. I must celebrate properly."

"Stop gloating. If you didn't think about playing all day, you wouldn't have lost to others in the first place."

Just then, Su Yu suddenly sensed something in the distance and cast his gaze toward the horizon.

"What on earth is going on? Judging by this aura and appearance, something is about to emerge."

Before long, the fluctuation grew stronger, and suddenly, most people with higher cultivation levels sensed it too. They flew into the sky one after another, looking toward the direction of the disturbance.

Some even flew toward the disturbance, wanting to see what it was. If there was an Opportunity, they could seize the initiative and be a step ahead of others.

Han Ting saw Su Yu suddenly staring into the distance, motionless, and didn't know what was happening.

"Uncle Yu, what are you looking at? I don't see anything appearing in front of us."

"Nothing, I was just daydreaming."

After all, given Han Ting's cultivation level, it was normal for her not to sense it. He didn't know yet if this thing was good or bad, so he didn't tell her first.

At this moment, Su Yu could clearly see what it was: a tower had appeared in the sky. It looked like another treasure was emerging.

Furthermore, Su Yu felt the aura of the tower; it was not simple. It seemed something big was about to happen again. He would wait and see how the situation developed.

He took Han Ting back to the Sect first. Standing in the courtyard, Su Yu continued to observe the situation on the tower's side.

Su Yu thought for a moment that people would surely go to investigate soon.

If anything went wrong, he would be able to take the next step more quickly.

Meanwhile, the higher-ups of various Sects were already discussing the tower and began sending people to investigate.

At this time, Leng Jiahang was flying rapidly toward the tower. He was almost at the place where the tower had emerged. "Finally, I'm almost there. It was worth it to rush over in advance. Star Tower, you have finally appeared in this world."

"I missed you in my previous life, but this life will be different."

Ye Lin swung his sword and finally killed the tiger demon. He hadn't expected the tiger demon to be so troublesome; it had cost him quite a bit of effort.

At this moment, Qingling, who was inside the sword, seemed to sense something and looked toward the distance.

"Xiao Linzi, Xiao Linzi, your Opportunity has arrived! I didn't expect this, truly, I never expected this."

"This ancient treasure, the Star Tower! It has actually emerged at this time!"
