Chapter 539: Chapter 531: Bizarre Purple Flame

As soon as he entered, he was repelled by an invisible force and sent flying.

“What a powerful defense array!”

Chi Xing, with a face full of terror, looked at the entrance to the stairway leading to the underground level of the Medicine King Tower as if a terrifying beast was hiding inside.

An array that could easily send a mid-phase Spirit Qi Realm cultivator flying must be extremely powerful.

The Pill Alchemists on the first level of the tower had calm expressions as if they were used to such occurrences. Even the clients who came to them for pill concoction merely glanced indifferently before continuing to watch the Pill Furnace.

Faced with such a formidable array, Qin Niu’s expression immediately became more solemn.

However, he was not daunted.

Instead, he entered the stairway to investigate personally. Chi Xing was only repelled and not injured, scared at most.

This gave Qin Niu the courage to explore on his own.

Upon entering the stairway, he sensed an invisible resisting force pushing outward.

But one could still move forward by relying on powerful cultivation.

With every step down, the invisible resisting force would increase by several folds. Chi Xing was violently repelled after reaching the third step.

When Qin Niu descended to the fourth step, the terrifyingly strong resisting force became extremely intense.

Just when he thought he was going to be repelled, he did not expect that the Pill Furnace within him, a manifestation of the Medicine King Sutra’s cultivation power, would spontaneously rotate, effortlessly neutralizing the extremely intense resisting force.

Qin Niu was astounded.

As the Pill Furnace inside him rotated, he could feel a strange connection with something beneath the ground.

Qin Niu continued to step downward, facing a resistance so strong it chilled the heart.

He estimated that even an Immortal Master might easily be repelled if they attempted to force their way through.

His inner Pill Furnace, however, rotated to neutralize the resisting force, allowing him to proceed deeper down the steps, but each step became harder than the last.

By the time he reached the fourteenth step, Qin Niu could already see parts of the underground level.

There were blazing flames burning below.

The color of the flames was very strange, neither crimson nor orange, nor gold, white, or blue, but an eerie purple.

There was another odd thing.

From his current position, he could see the purple flames nearly covering the entire underground level, but he could not feel the heat that should come from the flames. The temperature was almost unchanged from above.

Qin Niu took another step, descending to the fifteenth step.

This time, the resisting force was so strong it was infuriating. His inner Pill Furnace flew out directly, shielding his entire body inside it, to withstand the overwhelming force.

There were a total of twenty-eight steps leading to the negative first floor.

Being able to successfully descend to the fourteenth step should be a watershed, and after reaching the fifteenth step, the resisting force increased tenfold.

Yet, Qin Niu had withstood it.

The Pill Alchemists and clients on the first floor of the pagoda were shocked that Qin Niu had not come out after such a long time.

This had never happened before.

No matter where the strong came from, if they tried to forcefully enter the first level of the Medicine King Tower, the only outcome was to be repelled by the defense array.

If one only descended one or two steps, they might not be injured when repelled.

Descending five or six steps would likely result in injuries.
