Chapter 6 Refining Treasures
The dark tower shines strangely. A bunch of black light jumps at the top of the seven-storey tower, and the surrounding space is fluctuated, with ripples spreading around. The huge black tower is like a monument of the emperor of heaven, standing on the top of the melting city and corresponding to another red tower.
"Ah..." In a dark room in the Black Tower, Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes and only felt that he was about to crack, and his eyes were dizzy. He looked around with difficulty. The dark space emitted a sour smell, and the strong humidity permeated left and right. Several figures not far away sat still, as if they were with him, and his body was full of scars.
"Where is this?" Lu Yu leaned against the wall, supported his body, glanced at it, and muttered to himself.
"You're awake!" At this moment, a voice came, Lu Yu followed the sound, and a man climbed up to him. The narrow space was not enough to support an adult man to stand in it. All people could only sit or lie down.
"Where is this?" Lu Yu looked at the person and asked again. His memory always stayed in being subdued by Yanqiu, and he couldn't remember what happened after that. The man seemed to be very accustomed to this kind of thing, and his face was not much surprised. Under the shabby clothes, the scars all over his body were intertwined like small snakes, and a bun on his head pulled straight from his forehead to the back of his head.
"This is Refining Futu. Speaking of which, I haven't sent newcomers here for a long time!" The man sat next to Lu Yu and looked up at the rock wall above his head and sighed.
"Refining Treasures and Futu..." Lu Yu said repeatedly and lost his mind for a moment.
"My name is Wusheng. What's your name?" The man reported to his house, and his face was pale. Lu Yu recovered and said, "My name is Lu Yu!"
"Is it Lu Yu? I remember that this may be the only conversation we have had since you came here!" The man named Wusheng nodded and said.
"Why?" Lu Yu was curious.
A smile appeared on Wusheng's face, which seemed to be a little sour. He sighed faintly and said, "See? There are many people like us, but they never talk to each other. Over time, they are not only estranged by people's hearts. Such experiences make them have no extra energy to do anything other than numbness and living things!"
"What do you mean?" Lu Yu frowned slightly, and Wusheng's words were thought-provoking, but a little vague. The latter smiled lightly and was still lonely.
"You will know later!" He didn't go deep, just click and stop.
Lu Yu did not ask, but asked, "How can I get out of here?" When the words fell, there was suddenly a little ** in the quiet and dead space. At this moment, Lu Yu seemed to realize that there were other living people here besides him and Wusheng. Their withered and lifeless eyes suddenly flashed a trace of surprise at this time, but for a moment, they dimmed again. Lu Yu seemed to feel the strangeness caused by his own problems. He looked at Wusheng, but saw the latter's smile, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be helpless and sour.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yu asked, his eyes full of doubts.
Wusheng restrained his smile and shook his head gently and said, "There's nothing wrong. Any newcomer will ask such a question when they come here, but over time, they will also think how ridiculous the problem was at that time."
"Why?" Lu Yu frowned and asked solemnly.
"It's very simple!" Wusheng turned his head, and his solemn face filled his face. He only heard him say in a low voice: "Refining treasure Futu is a prison. Since its existence, it has always been life and death. If you want to leave, unless you die!"
"What?" Lu Yu was shocked when he heard the words and said in horror.
Wusheng shook his head and said, "There is no life when entering the treasure refining slaughter. Everyone here is like you. At first, they have a strong will and instinct to survive, but later, most of them are like walking corpses. Life and death are no longer important to them."
"What the hell is this place?" Lu Yu calmed down and asked.
"The refining of treasure is a prison for us, but it is a trial ground for some people!" Wusheng said slowly.
"Trial field? Do you mean that someone has put us in captivity as an obstacle to testing others? Lu Yu asked in surprise.
Wusheng said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid it's worse than this. Anyone who is caught here only needs to complete two tasks every month. If you can carry it, then congratulations. At least you have saved your life this month!"
"Which two tasks?" Lu Yu asked.
"Rebirth and rebirth!" Wusheng said indifferently, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.
"Rebirth and refining?" Lu Yu chewed these two words repeatedly, and his face became more and more suspicious. Wusheng saw his doubts and then explained, "This refining pagoda is the same as the melting city where it is located. I don't know who owns it. It seems to be a certain force in ancient times, hidden to this day. The so-called rebirth is actually very simple. There is a place in this black tower called the Nirvana Array, which is composed of 23 layers of void, and the functions of these 23 layers of void are almost the same, but the utility is different. The power of space in the first layer of void is five times that of our normal space. The space power of the second layer is ten times, the third layer is 100 times, and so on, there will be a qualitative leap until the ninth floor. Tens of times the power of space will evolve into a boundary force, which is not a simple superposition. Whether the boundary force is destructive, it must not only withstand the oppression and vibration of space, but also the intersection and destruction of the shuttle stack space. The ninth layer of boundary force can easily crush a subordinate mysterious soldier!"
"You mean..." Lu Yu's expression was moved and seemed to have guessed something. Wusheng nodded and said, "The so-called rebirth is to enter the nirvana array according to everyone's limit. As long as you stay for 15 days, you can come out. Originally, this method was a method of refining the body in ancient times, which endured extraordinary gravity and squeeze in the extreme space. Its own potential and limit, even without the guidance of the body refining method, can continue to intensify the physical reorganization, strengthen the blood and muscles and bones, so that it can evolve in a more perfect combination direction.
"It's just that the requirements of alchemy Futu is too harsh. Even if the limit that a person can withstand in ancient times is the fifth level of emptiness, he will only choose to practice in the fourth layer, while alchemy Futu will still throw you on the fifth layer, and it takes more than half a month to get out of the customs. Few people can withstand this. With such extreme pressure, all those who survive have their own means to save their lives or are stimulated by the power of blood.
"Today, the method of refining the body is extremely rare. There is no specific method, but it can only strengthen the body. If there is not enough elixir to recuperate and recover, it will leave a dark disease in the long run!" Lu Yu nodded and saw the drawbacks of this so-called rebirth at a glance.
"Yes, the so-called too much is too much, too squeezed and can't be adjusted, but only get the opposite effect. Although these people have obtained stronger vitality and recovery power through the boundary array, the body cannot achieve a perfect combination, blood and roots and bones have not been completely stimulated and evolved, so... Look!" With that, Wusheng pointed to a bald man in front of him and said, "He has been here for seven years. Now he can just enter the eighth layer of space. His blood has been hollowed out. He has always been at the cost of overdrafting his vitality and potential. Although he barely entered the eighth layer of space, the remaining longevity is less than a year. You should know This is a monk in the real spiritual secret world!"
Lu Yu was shocked when he heard the words. The monk Shouyuan was long. This is well known. In just seven years, Shouyuan was squeezed to less than a year. This so-called Nirvana array was really horrible.
"Why did they do this?" Lu Yu frowned slightly and asked, such cold-blooded and ruthlessly squeezed people as livestock. Lu Yu could not think of the motivation and reason for this behavior.
"I just said that as long as you complete two tasks, you can live this month. Rebirth is for refining!" Wusheng said.
"Refinement? What do you mean?" Lu Yu asked.
"It was said earlier that this refining treasure Futu is a trial ground, and the tester... You can regard it as the owner of the melting city. We all call it adults. These adults come here every month to choose the source of melting, that is, we slaves. After that, they will integrate some natural resources and earth treasures into our bodies and use the essence and blood in our bodies as a harmony, thus producing a strange and mysterious law power. This power is different from any of the kinds we have seen in the past. It communicates namelessly, as if it is the most primitive power to create the human body. With this power, those adults cultivate their bodies and evolve Brahma magic!" When Wusheng's words fell, Lu Yu's face finally changed greatly, and a terrible and angry color filled his eyes.
"How dare they treat us as a furnace?" Lu Yu said in a low voice, and his face was extremely cold. Now he finally understood how the so-called treasure refining Futu exists.
People here are all kept in captivity as a tripod furnace. The so-called rebirth is actually equivalent to quenching in the refinery, that is to say, a thousand catties of iron ore can be refined out by pressing and tapping. In the same way, they put these slaves in the nirvana array and extract them, but do not give them time to refine them. The result, because the squeezed essence and bloodlines as the tripod furnace are only used as a medicine to reconcile the heavenly materials and treasures, they will forcibly extract the strange power derived from these slaves after refining, just like a donkey cutting meat from the same place every month, but does not give him time to recover. Over time, his life will be It will dry up!
"What kind of existence does this melting city have done such an unreasonable thing!" Lu Yu's eyes were intertwined with anger and couldn't help shouting.
