Thinking back on the Nine Heights Pagoda, Li Ling had to admit it was one of the more obscure upgrades he'd bought.
Back then, when he first opened the manual at the Five Elements Sect outpost stalls, the technique had seemed almost underwhelming.
Merely an old-era half Daoist art, half cultivation method written on paper instead of jade, whose entire point was to visualize a nine-storey pagoda and build it out of spirit sense.
Most people, now or back then, either used it as a crutch to awaken spirit sense at Qi Refinement with a second-grade material, or ignored it entirely until they reached Foundation Establishment and attained spirit sense normally.
He, of course, didn't practice it like 'most people'.
In his practice, he had chosen the outline of Leifeng Pagoda from his memories of Earth, stretching the five-storey tourist trap he'd once visited into a nine-level, gray-black tower in the middle of his Sea of Consciousness.
