Half a day after Chu Nan broke through the eighth level of the Spirit Pill and emerged, Wan Qiang also successfully emerged.

Although Wan Qiang only had one-third of the Millennium Blood Ginseng, he did not possess the Nine Desolate Profound Transformation Scripture, so his absorption rate was extremely slow, taking even longer than Chu Nan.

However, Wan Qiang's gains were immensely significant. Originally at the early stage of the ninth level of the Spirit Pill, he successfully broke through to the late stage, just one step away from the peak.

"Chu Nan, I really thank you this time," Wan Qiang sincerely thanked Chu Nan. The one-third of the Millennium Blood Ginseng saved him many years of detours.

He was confident of breaking through to the Yang Wheel Realm within five years!

Then Wan Qiang confusedly said, "Chu Nan, how does your cultivation look like it hasn't improved?"

Chu Nan smiled faintly and shook his head, saying, "You'll know in due time."

After emerging, he used the Jade Pendant given to him by Chen Kaiyang that allowed him to disguise his cultivation, making him appear still at the sixth level of the Spirit Pill.

He previously hadn't disguised himself because there was no need, but now he wanted to catch others off guard.

Inside the Haotian Tower, enemies were everywhere, so he needed to keep a trump card for caution.

Seeing Chu Nan unwilling to explain, Wan Qiang didn't press further but instead asked eagerly, "What's the plan now, should we head to the seventh level?"

Chu Nan looked towards the sky and said, "Of course, the opportunities above the seventh level are even more abundant, we can't miss them."

Wan Qiang also got excited, knowing that Chu Nan had a detailed map of the Haotian Tower, which would definitely be a great advantage being with him.

The two set off again for the seventh heaven of the Haotian Tower.

Almost ten days had passed since the Haotian Tower opened, and below the sixth level, there were hardly any other True Disciples. They faced no danger along the way and smoothly ascended to the seventh level.

As soon as they stepped into the seventh level, a silver streak of light came charging at them.

The light transformed into a two-meter tall silver puppet wielding Dual Swords, with no trace of emotion in its eyes, attacking with killing moves!

The areas above the sixth level were different, there were no powerful Demon Beasts, replaced instead by formidable puppets.

These puppets knew no pain, no fear, had no emotions, only a pure instinct for slaughter.

The puppet, expressionless and cold, wielded Swords in both hands, launching a shocking speed assault towards Chu Nan and Wan Qiang.

But Chu Nan appeared even colder than the puppet, casually slashing out a Sword, instantly cutting the silver puppet into pieces scattered on the ground.

Wan Qiang, seeing the puppet destroyed, eagerly started rummaging through the puppet's remains.

Finding nothing, Wan Qiang showed a disappointed smile and said, "This puppet doesn't have any Cultivation Technique or Martial Skill."

Hearing Wan Qiang's words, Chu Nan couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed himself.

Puppets were not only pure killing machines but also held opportunities.

Some puppets might contain precious Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skills, or even Spirit Martial within them, with every puppet possibly hiding opportunities.

According to Chen Kaiyang, many of the Sect's top yellow-tier Martial Skills were obtained from these puppets!

Most True Disciples, upon entering the Haotian Tower, would often linger between the seventh and twelfth levels for extensive periods, aiming to find higher-level Martial Skills or Cultivation Techniques.

The reason behind the inexhaustible number of puppets containing Cultivation Techniques remained unknown.

After all, the secrets of the Haotian Tower were not even known to the Sect's strongest Supreme Elder.

Chu Nan gazed forward and slowly said, "Let's keep moving up. The closer we get to the twelfth level, the stronger the puppets and the higher the chance of getting treasures."

At this point, the map's usefulness was limited. It could mark where there were more puppets but couldn't tell which puppet contained valuable items.

Wan Qiang nodded deeply and continued moving forward with Chu Nan.

For days like this, Chu Nan used the map to locate many puppet gathering places, and they slew an unknown number of puppets.

But the harvests were scant, with the most precious item between both being just one yellow-tier Cultivation Technique, valued as average at best.

The two continued to slay puppets and collect Cultivation Techniques, taking seven days to fight from the seventh layer to the tenth layer of the Haotian Tower.

By this time, more True Disciples began to appear, but the number and strength of the puppets also increased significantly.

Chu Nan took Wan Qiang to the largest puppet gathering place on the tenth layer according to the map.

A huge, wide pit roamed with thousands of various powerful puppets.

More than a dozen True Disciples had already been drawn over by these puppets and were encircling them in a siege.

"Haha, I found a mid-grade yellow-tier Martial Skill!" Suddenly, a True Disciple ecstatically acquired a Supreme Treasure, wielding a book and laughing manically.

However, before he laughed long, someone sternly said, "Finders are keepers, hand over the Martial Skill."

"Why should I give it to you?"

"Dare to resist, you're asking for it!"

Soon, a fight over the mid-grade yellow-tier Martial Skill broke out below.

This scene reminded Chu Nan, getting something valuable, don't shout, or it will be trouble!

Chu Nan and Wan Qiang leaped down into the pit, remaining inconspicuous.

They exchanged glances, then immediately started slaughtering the puppets that charged at them.

Sharp, cold lights flashed in the pit, and with the intention to kill, Chu Nan and the puppets fought unrestrainedly, using ruthless moves.

Puppets after puppets got smashed into components, yet not a single Martial Skill appeared.

"Damn it, it's getting harder and harder to acquire good items from puppets!"

"I don't want to leave empty-handed, at least give me a mid-grade yellow-tier Martial Skill," Wan Qiang thought in frustration.

Chu Nan, who was initially dispirited, had a glimmer of light flash through his eyes.

Kui Guang spoke to Chu Nan in his time of greatest confusion: "There's something good you need here, make sure to seize the opportunity."

His reminder excited Chu Nan, and he murmured, "Sword Venerable Master, where is the item I need?"

"See that blue puppet over there; it has the item you need inside it!"

Even though Kui Guang's strength was no more, his vision far surpassed ordinary people, noticing what Chu Nan couldn't see.

Chu Nan followed the direction and saw a somewhat short blue puppet, and his eyes lit up: "It must be this guy!"

The blue puppet was inconspicuous due to its short stature and weak strength, so True Disciples didn't pay it any attention.

After all, logically, stronger puppets were more likely to have powerful Cultivation Techniques on them!

Without hesitation, Chu Nan slashed out with the Cyan Mountain Radiant Sun Sword, carving a path forcefully and sprinting towards the blue puppet's direction.

"Chu Nan, where are you going?" Wan Qiang, confused, didn't understand why Chu Nan was heading towards such a weak puppet.

In three steps, Chu Nan caught up with the blue puppet and slashed decisively once more, the sharp Sword Qi piercing through the puppet's body.

With a clatter, dazzling golden light burst from inside the puppet, followed by a boom, shattering the puppet into pieces, revealing a Jade Scroll enveloped in golden light.

The Jade Scroll's light was so dazzling that all the surrounding True Disciples focused their gazes upon it.

Someone, seeing the Jade Scroll clearly, shouted in shock, "This is... a high-grade yellow-tier Martial Skill!"
