Chapter 1230 - 1227: Bailing Pavilion

The Bailing Pavilion is located at the foot of a mountain.

Behind it, the mountain peak is lush with trees, a waterfall flows upstream, and a rainbow hangs in the sky, extraordinarily beautiful.

Arriving here, one can feel the abundance of Yang Energy, seemingly emanating from the mountain peak.

Du Peng said, "This is the Bailing Pavilion."

Zhang Jian said, "It's been a long time since I've been here, cultivating in this place is practically burning money."

The Bailing Pavilion, who knows which sect or family opened it, business here is booming, especially before the assessments.

You can see many Blue-robed and Red-robed Students; due to the limitation of credits, they can only pay to cultivate at the Bailing Pavilion.

Liao Yusheng said, "So many people."

Du Peng said, "Of course there are a lot, with half a month until the assessment, who knows if there's still any space, I'll go ask."

Entering the lobby of the Bailing Pavilion, they were met by a female attendant who said, "What services do you gentlemen require?"

Du Peng said, "Are there any spots left?"

The attendant nodded and said, "There are only two levels of cultivation pavilions available, Jia and Yi. Yi costs between one million to five million per two hours, and Jia's price is from ten million to fifty million per two hours."

Zhang Jian clicked his tongue, "Why is it so expensive."

Du Peng also inhaled sharply; he came prepared with ten million this time, planning to cultivate for two days, only to find out there are only two choices, Jia and Yi pavilions.

Chu Hao waved his hand and said, "Prepare three Jia-level pavilions for me."

Zhang Jian hesitated and said, "How can we accept this, we should forget about it."

Liao Yusheng also said, "Yeah! It's too embarrassing, Zhang Han."

Chu Hao shook his head and said, "Prepare one day in the Jia Pavilion for each of my three friends, it's just small change."

"Ding... Host successfully showed off, gaining 60,000 Showoff Points."

The rich are indeed rich.

Zhang Jian and others exchanged glances, feeling both helpless and moved; they hadn't known each other long, and Chu Hao was so good to them.

Zhang Jian said emotionally, "Zhang Han, no matter what happens in the future, feel free to tell me, Zhang Jian, I won't even frown."

Liao Yusheng also said, "Exactly, just say the word."

Chu Hao smiled and said, "That's what you said."

All four of them laughed.

Du Peng asked, "What about you?"

Chu Hao looked at the attendant and asked, "Does the Bailing Pavilion have any places rich with life energy?"

The attendant was astonished, how wealthy must he be to send three people to the Jia Pavilion, not a small expense per person per day, costing several billion altogether.

The attendant sweetly smiled and said, "Yes, there is one Heaven Character Pavilion left, but it costs one billion per two hours."

Zhang Jian and the others clicked their tongues.

Chu Hao was pleased and said, "Alright, prepare it for me."

"Okay, gentlemen, please follow me."

After swiping the card, the cost for each person to cultivate for a day totaled over three billion, which Chu Hao simply didn't mind.

However, to others, this was an astronomical amount.

The attendant said, "There's an agreement here, please all sign it."

Chu Hao wondered, "What agreement? Do we have to pay for damages?"

Du Peng shook his head and explained, "No, after signing this agreement, regardless of how you use the cultivation resources of the Bailing Pavilion, they cannot be held accountable. Since we've paid, if something goes wrong with the resources inside, it would be troublesome, and they wouldn't do business anymore. So! The agreement is set by the Shanhai Alliance's judicial department, also a form of protection for us."

The Shanhai Alliance, belonging to the highest judiciary of the Shanhai Realm, sets many policies and laws.

It's equivalent to a world department.

Chu Hao smiled and said, "Pretty good."

Separate from Zhang Jian and others, Chu Hao followed the attendant to the top of the mountain, walking through lush greenery. Looking around, the flowers and plants here were special.

Chu Hao said, "What kind of plant is this, the Yang Energy is so abundant."

The female attendant smiled and said, "Pure Yang Grass, all of Bai Ling Mountain has this kind of flora, creating a unique cultivation resource."

So that's it.

The further up they walked, the more abundant the Yang Energy felt. Cultivating here was indeed far superior to self-cultivating outside.

Along the mountain path, there were many signs pointing to other Jia and Yi pavilions.

The woman said, "The Heaven Character Pavilion is at the mountaintop, closest to the Yu Ling Tree, we are almost there."

Yu Ling Tree?

There are Yu Ling Trees here?

Chu Hao was overjoyed.

Indeed, along the mountaintop path, Chu Hao saw three towering Yu Ling Trees, and beside them was a small mountain cabin—the Heaven Character Pavilion.

The woman turned and smiled, "We have arrived. Please do not approach or touch the Yu Ling Tree, and follow the rules, by the way! If you need anything, you can tell me, I'll be waiting outside."

Chu Hao nodded, impatient already.

The only pity was not being able to touch them.

Chu Hao entered the Heaven Character Pavilion, a small villa with a backyard very close to the Yu Ling Tree, but there was a caution line five meters ahead.

Chu Hao said, "System, use the System's Great Furnace function, absorb life energy."

The system prompted, "Automatically using the System's Great Furnace, one thousand Showoff Points per minute."

"Activate."

Immediately, the System's Great Furnace began absorbing the surrounding life energy, and at a rapid pace.

"Ding... Furnace Energy Slot +1%."

"Ding... Furnace Energy Slot +1%."

"Ding... Furnace Energy Slot +1%."

While the system automatically absorbed, Chu Hao wasn't idle either; he began forming the Longevity Curse.

The First Stage of the Longevity Curse consisted of 108 Curse Marks; this time, the Longevity Curse had 181 Curse Marks.

This time forming the incantations felt different, much more effortless.

Chu Hao couldn't quite understand, perhaps he was naturally gifted?

Of course, Chu Hao didn't consider himself gifted; he'd relied on the system's help all along, this time he wasn't sure why.

108 Curse Marks.

118 Curse Marks.

139 Curse Marks.

Getting closer.

Remember last time, the 108 Longevity Curse Marks already drained his Yin Yang Force three times, yet this time was different.

167 Curse Marks.

Almost there.

Finally, after exhausting his Yin Yang Force once, he quickly had the system replenish it.

Successfully reaching 181 Curse Marks, the Second Stage Longevity Curse was formed.

Once the Longevity Curse appeared, it began absorbing life energy from all directions.

Absorbing furiously.

The Heaven Character Pavilion, in fact, had two rooms, not just the one occupied by Chu Hao.

The other room was occupied by a burly middle-aged man named Ji Xiu.

Ji Xiu had already been in the Bailing Pavilion for three days, and the cost of one billion per hour was not something ordinary people could afford.

Moreover, Ji Xiu was a strong figure with the Yin-Yang King Position, coming here to break through to the next level. Such a steep price pained him too, but as long as his strength increased, it was all worth it.
