Chapter 9: Journey to the Spiritual Platform

“Bang-bang-bang!!!”

A series of powerful and deep knocking sounds echoed in the empty room.

Chen Yan wielded the Spirit Forging Mithril Hammer, striking the metal with great hatred. Every time his two hammers fell, the metal under his hammer would shrink visibly.

Damn it, they actually used that to tempt cadres. Which cadre could resist such temptation?
Chen Yan's hands moved more frantically in a confused state, but the texture of the metal gradually became clearer and the sound of hammering became clearer.

"Om~"

As the hammer fell, a bright silver light suddenly rose up, illuminating Chen Yan's profile.

Thousand Forgings Rank 2? Not bad.

Chen Yan let out a sigh and put away the spirit forging hammer.

Alas, at this age, everything looks like love. I am only nine years old, but people in this continent are really precocious.

After silently complaining about himself, Chen Yan walked back to his room, but inadvertently looked towards the next door...

Damn, you are such a bitch! Chen Yan shook his head violently and slammed the door shut.

Lying in bed, Chen Yan tossed and turned, unable to sleep, his mind full of thoughts about the plot.

What is certain now is that Gu Yuena is a complete form, which means that Xiao Tang has no contact with Gu Yuena now, at least on the surface.

In terms of the plot, it actually has no impact in the early stage, except that a top magician is missing. But the impact on the later stage is subversive. First, there is no love foundation, a wife and son are missing; second, when Xiao Tang faces Gu Yuena, his life will be greatly threatened.

Tang San would never let this happen, and Tang Hao would definitely find ways to ensure Tang Wulin's safety. For now, well, they are just sitting ducks, and they have no power to fight against the Lord of the Planes.

In addition, Chen Yan's heart has gradually become active in these three years.

What did he lack the most in his previous life? A girlfriend and money. Now he feels that he will be able to earn enough money to retire and live a carefree life in the future, and the only thing he lacks is a girlfriend.

After all, he is not really a child, and he still has some appreciation for women. Moreover, even if they were elementary school students in their previous lives, there were many who were impure in body and mind. What's more, in this continent where people mature early?
So Gu Yuena was naturally the first choice among those nearby. In addition, Chen Yan was sure that the two protagonists had no relationship, and Gu Yuena's inexplicable closeness made him even more fanciful.

But he also felt that this might be too hasty. He was not a proactive person, and as a complete Gu Yuena, he had no confidence that she would have any feelings. In addition, Gu Yuena had specifically sought him out, which made him suspect that this inexplicable closeness was due to this reason.

Maybe it's just like that sentence: But dear, that's not love

So at this moment, his idea was really just in the idea stage, just thinking about it.

Shit, it’s almost the same whether I traveled through time or not. I still don’t have a wife. Chen Yan cursed inwardly, turned over, and felt quite sad.

Tonight's night is filled with tears and sorrow.

Next door balcony.

Gu Yuena sat on a rattan chair, holding the cup and saucer in one hand and the cup handle in the other, with the back of her hand resting lightly on her legs. The mist was sparse, and the tranquility and subtle beauty were evident. She sat quietly, the bright moon in the sky was bright, and the stars in the universe were dotted and scattered on the sky, but she had no intention of appreciating them. She just blinked her eyes and stared at the lights next door that had been extinguished long ago.

The scenery in the sky is not as good as what is in front of you, and how can what is in front of you be as good as the person in your love?
Gu Yuena took a sip, her eyes flickered, a silver light flashed, and only the scent of lavender remained...

……

Tiandou City Chuanling Pagoda Branch Tower
Here is one of the 18 soul-raising platforms built by the Soul Pagoda in the big city. The 18 branch towers of the Soul Pagoda are also called the 18 pillars of heaven. The Soul Pagoda can be seen from a long distance. It is more than 100 stories high and over 500 meters high. The base of the Soul Pagoda is octagonal and occupies a large area. Every ten floors, it shrinks inward until it reaches the top spire.

As the capital of the previous dynasty and now the seat of the Blacksmiths Association, it can be said to be the highest-ranking branch tower besides the Spirit Pagoda headquarters and Mingdu.

Naturally, the resource allocation can also be said to be extremely generous.

Chen Yan had only done this once under Gu Yuena's guidance, increasing the age of his soul ring to more than nine hundred years.

When they walked into the Spirit Transferring Tower, the first thing they saw was the magnificent interior decoration. The ground was paved with dark golden stone with gorgeous natural textures. Huge stone pillars supported the dome that was tens of meters high. These stone pillars and the dome were carved with gorgeous colorful murals. From the feeling, these Spirit Transferring Towers were no different in appearance except for some differences in the murals.

"Xiaoyan, what are you looking at?"

Well, this is also the result of the past three years. The reason is that calling him Chen Yan directly seems unfriendly, so this name came into being.

Although according to the setting, you are indeed older than me, but let me tell you, Tang San was not even there when I was born!
Chen Yan naturally didn't dare to flatter this title. He, Chen Yan, was a man of steel! What the hell was Xiao Yan? Was she worthy of him? But between Yan Yan and Xiao Yan, he still gave in.

It's not that Yanyan is inferior, but Xiaoyan is more cost-effective. (Inwardly: #^$##￥ is short for Jijiwaiwai)
"Nothing, let's go in."

Chen Yan didn't say anything, just shook his head and said to Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena raised her head slightly, glanced at the mural that Chen Yan had been staring at for a long time, and then looked away.

"Let's go."

They followed the staff's instructions and took the elevator to the underground passage leading to the spirit-raising platform. Two consciousness cabins were already ready.

"let's start."

Gu Yuena and Chen Yan followed the instructions and lay down in the consciousness cabin. Various instruments were connected to their bodies, and then, a flash of light appeared in front of their eyes, and they had arrived in a primeval forest.

The density of the vegetation here has not changed at all as it was two years ago.

Ancient trees tens of meters high that are rarely seen in reality can be seen everywhere, and mosses have also climbed up the tangled roots of the trees. Green vines and vines grow intertwined and hang between trees. Leaves shade each other, branches are connected to each other. The sunlight is completely blocked.

"This time we will first upgrade our spirits, then go check out the guardian of this floor and try to take down its soul bones."

Chen Yan was naturally happy to hear what Gu Yuena said. It would be a waste if he didn't get the wool from the Spiritual Pagoda!
As the saying goes, if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth! Especially when he has connections, isn't it reasonable to do whatever he wants within the scope of the Spirit Pagoda?

Chen Yan casually swung out a claw and chopped a hundred-year-old nine-section jade into six pieces. Part of its body turned into spiritual power and dissipated, returning to this space, while part of it merged into Chen Yan's body.
