Synopsis

Synopsis of "The Devouring Wasteland Tower"

The day Lu Chenzhou's dantian shattered, his fiancée broke off their engagement on the spot.

All of the Eastern Wasteland knew that the Lu family's useless son was alive only to waste grain.

No one knew a tower had entered his sea of qi.

A tower that was three thousand years old. It could eat, play dead, and even erase its accounts.

Only he could read the words carved into it, and the whole Eastern Wasteland had no one else who could. Using this dead script, he read the word "prisoner" on the herb garden wall, and the ledger on a dead man's bone token:

A vessel is raised in the pond. It eats flesh and blood, consumes medicinal power, and feeds especially on qi.

On the eighth day, use a human as bait. The human bears the tower.

He was that "lunchbox."

But when he reached the last line, three words in the ledger sent a chill down his spine:

I am the ninth.

The person who carved the words was his fellow disciple, the ninth keeper of the tower.

And his own handwriting had the same distinctive quirk as that dead man's.

At last, the tower agreed to write. Two words appeared in the ash:

Change of host.

It had left its previous keeper nine ways to escape. But when it was his turn, the tower said, "I won't leave."

It had searched for him for a thousand years.

When he asked it who he was, the tower had written half a word before giving up: "Ten" or "Origin"?

Was he the tenth keeper of the tower, or its former master from a thousand years ago?

The midnight watchman's clapper never sounded.

Outside, Mr. Wu knocked politely on the door:

"Young man, are you awake?"

"Tonight, I'm asking you to go down into the pond."

Fine.

One at a time.
