Looking at Qingque who was very worried, the city lord said, "Don't worry too much. Since he dares to go in, he will not disappoint us."

"Worry?"

Qingque turned his head and glanced at the city lord. The worry in his eyes quickly disappeared, and he looked as if nothing had happened. "I'm not worried about him, but I'm just curious whether the nine-story tower that has not been opened for thousands of years has any effect."

"All right."

The city lord shook his head without hesitation and said slowly, "You are not worried, I am very worried. Success or failure is indeed difficult to say. Alas, it might be better if it opened earlier."

“Would it be fine to open earlier?”

Qingque was a little puzzled, "If he had entered early, his cultivation would not be lower, and his soul would be worse. Shouldn't the danger of entering be greater?"

"No, maybe it's still a little smaller."

The city lord explained, "Now his soul has been established, his soul foundation is solid and deeply rooted. It is really difficult to forcefully change the original soul qualification. If you are not careful, you will lose all the money. If you are not a soul or even a Nascent Soul, you may be able to enter the Nine-level Tower and improve your qualifications and recast your soul."

Qingque asked, "Then why didn't you do it?"

The city lord sighed softly, "He was just a black-clothed messenger at the beginning. Who would have consumed his energy? If he had not passed one test after another and passed the heavenly tribulation one after another, we would not be sure that he was the person we were looking for. Things in the world are unpredictable, and who could explain the subsequent things clearly, but now we have to do it."

Qingque nodded, and the two stared at Zhou Shu in the tower, saying nothing for a moment.

The white dragon next to him stood there quietly, without moving, and had not participated in the conversation, as if it did not exist.

Qingque suddenly exclaimed, "He is moving!"

The city lord nodded, feeling a little relieved, "I finally walked in and didn't retreat."

After a few breaths, Qingque's face stagnated, "One leg is all burnt..."

"Well, he now only has the original original soul and has no defensive means. Just like a mortal, how can he endure the burning of the soul-burning fire? The Nine-level tower is the soul-refining hell. Every step he takes is the cruelest torment, a pain that no other immortal cultivator has ever experienced and unimaginable. It is the greatest purgatory that the mortal world can feel. Even the punishment of the demon clan is difficult to be even one tenth..." The city lord said slowly, staring at Zhou Shu very seriously, "But he must insist, even if all the flesh and blood are burned, only dry bones and only the broken ashes are left, he must also go to the exit."

Qingque glanced a few more times, turned his head unconsciously, with a lot of unbearableness in his eyes, "Zhou Shu, he really has only bones left in his legs..."

After looking at the city lord, she hesitated, "If he really can't help but suffer, can he come out first? City lord, this is his first time entering the ninth-story tower. Can't he try it first, be prepared and try again?"

The city lord said slowly, "If you are in a purgatory that can come out, then purgatory is not purgatory, but something else. Purgatory is despair in despair. Unless the limit is broken, there is no possibility of leaving. Only by doing this kind of enlightenment can there be a slight possibility of breaking through the limit. Coming out in advance will only reduce the effect of soul refining a lot, not even at all... However, it is only my expectation that he will not come out. I know that it is the first time Zhou Shu entered, so he gave him a preferential treatment, the only time."

As he said that, he turned to Bailong, "If he really can't help it, there is a way to get it out. Bailong, you gave it to him, right?"

Bailong turned around and nodded without any expression, "On the right hand."

"Right hand?"

Qingque glanced at Zhou Shu, "Didn't he break his right arm just after he entered?"

Bailong nodded and spread his hands and said, "Yes, so it's gone now."

Qingque was stunned for a moment, and after a while, "That is to say, unless he reaches the exit, he will never be able to come out."

The city lord was also stunned for a while and sighed, "Well, then this is his chance..."

The two of them looked at Zhou Shu and couldn't help but feel more worried. The white dragon next to them was still expressionless, and the faint black smoke gradually enveloped, looking like a stone statue in the dark night.

Ten days have passed.

The three of them were still on the top of the tower and seemed to have never moved, but the two of them looked different.

"City Lord, is this the fifth floor he has walked through?"

Qingque Yanyan smiled and said very relaxed.

The city lord still cared a lot of caution, "Yes, Zhou Shu has already walked through the Hunter of Fire, the Hunter of Loneliness, the Hunter of Ice, and the Hunter of Car Cang. Now this level is the Hunter of Greedy Enjoyment. Compared with other levels, it seems to be no pain, but it is even more difficult. If a hint of greed of enjoyment is revealed, it will disappear immediately. Moreover, he has just come out of the most cruel purgatory like the Hunter of Car Cang, and is afraid that he will be unstable and will be greedy for pleasure and indulge in it for a while. It will be difficult to deal with."

"The city lord is so relieved that he is not worried at all when he sees me."

Qingque smiled faintly, looking at Zhou Shu with a lot of admiration, "Actually, after coming out of the Hunter of Fire, I knew that he would definitely walk through all levels successfully and would never fall down halfway. I'm sure."

"... When he reached the exit, only half of his head was left. All other places were burned to coke. As it turned out, he still insisted on going to the exit. It was incredible..." The city lord shook his head unconsciously and sighed, "Not to mention the unbearable pain, even if he was not afraid of pain and saw his own changes with his own eyes, he could not accept the reality that he had become like this. If it were others, he would have collapsed long ago, and he had been persisting, and his eyes had never changed, consistent, with the confidence that he must do it..."

He looked at Zhou Shu and said slowly, "No matter from which perspective, he is absolutely extraordinary."

Qingque laughed unconsciously, "City Lord, you have said these words "Absolutely extraordinary people" dozens of times these days."

The city lord smiled and nodded, but did not feel distorted. "I have seen many unexpected things about him before, such as playing chess with you through Shuren Lane, etc. Although these things are not done by ordinary people, they are far less shocking than now, because when doing those things, he has the soul intact, has the ability, and has enough magic tricks to use. But now, he is an ordinary person's soul, with nothing, and he has done things that ordinary people cannot do, so I said that he is absolutely extraordinary."

"All right."

Qingque nodded thoughtfully, "City Lord, you are right. He is an ordinary person now, but he is definitely an extraordinary person. Bailong, what do you think?"
