Of course, having strength is just the most basic requirement to ascend the tower.
If one reaches the 99th floor, they must cultivate there for three months, paying ten million Low-Grade Spirit Stones each day. If one ascends to the 108th floor, the daily fee increases to fifteen million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
Without Spirit Stones, there is no qualification to ascend the tower.
Calculating this, even if he were to cultivate on the 99th floor for three months, it would still require nine hundred million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
With Tan Yun's forging skills, he could tell at a glance that if he activated the Supreme Mustard Seed Time-Space Pagoda for three months, the Spirit Stones consumed would be at most six hundred million.
Of course, from the perspective of the higher-ups in the Danmai, there was a different viewpoint.
In the eyes of the Danmai leaders, Danmai disciples could refine pills for sale, and each one was quite valuable.
Rather than allowing their disciples to spend Spirit Stones on magic treasures, formations, or talismans from other sects, it would be better to invest in a thousand mid-grade and one supreme Mustard Seed Time-Space Pagoda, promoting the disciples' cultivation while also recovering their Spirit Stones!
Of course, a small portion of those Spirit Stones would serve as salaries for the inner sect Danmai chief and the various elders. The vast majority, however, ended up in the hands of the Immortal Sect Danmai elders.
Fortunately, Tan Yun could still afford this amount of Spirit Stones.
Tan Yun learned from the steward that the Supreme Mustard Seed Time-Space Pagoda would open in a moment, and after the disciples inside came out, there would be three time periods for the disciples to ascend the tower.
Thus, Tan Yun left the Hall of Authorization and headed towards the eye-catching Supreme Mustard Seed Time-Space Pagoda.
At that moment, under the towering Supreme Mustard Seed Time-Space Pagoda, there was a sea of people.
Tan Yun stood with his hands clasped behind his back at the back of the crowd, quietly waiting for the pagoda to open.
“Make way! Everyone, get the hell out of my way!” Suddenly, accompanied by a somewhat familiar curse, a hand violently shoved Tan Yun.
“Watch your mouth; are you in a hurry to reincarnate?” Tan Yun abruptly turned around, swinging his right hand and drawing an arc in the air, slapping that disciple's face!
“Smack!”
The shattered teeth and blood of that disciple mingled together, splattering from his mouth and crashing down three yards away!
This person was none other than Pang He, the nephew of Elder Three of the inner sect Danmai!
Last time, Tan Yun had broken his hands and feet. Today, he had just recovered and brought along a group of lackeys to watch the formidable disciples ascend the tower.
He never expected to be slapped the moment he arrived!
“Senior Brother Pang, are you okay?” The ten lackeys hurriedly rushed forward to support him, but Pang He, with a swollen right cheek, cursed as he got up, “Damn it, how dare you hit me…”
Pang He abruptly stopped, his eyes widening as he looked at Tan Yun, his anger vanishing and being replaced by deep fear. He trembled, “So it’s Senior Brother Tan… I didn’t see you just now… please forgive me…”
As he spoke, Pang He shrank his neck and slowly turned to leave.
“Done cursing and now you want to leave?” Tan Yun said nonchalantly, “If you take another step, I’ll ruin you again like last time.”
Pang He was stunned, turning his body around, a flash of anger flickering in his eyes, but he timidly said, “I’ve already apologized. What more do you want?”
At this moment, the surrounding disciples by the Supreme Mustard Seed Time-Space Pagoda turned to look at the notorious Pang He and the rising Tan Yun, each with varying expressions.
Disciples under Elder Twelve looked at Tan Yun with unfriendly gazes.
In contrast, the disciples under Elder Six, Shen Wende, had completely opposite attitudes. After all, they all knew that Elder Six had a close relationship with Shen Qingfeng, and Tan Yun was greatly favored by Shen Qingfeng.
