Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 117 Return to Flying Star Island, Companions with Soulmates

"Second brother, I'm going to Flying Star Island."

Since there's no rush to reforge the Demon Fire Golden Banner, the money can be used for other purposes.

Su Yu couldn't forget the immortal's note she had seen on Flying Star Island. She wanted to go back and see if it was still there. If it was, she would sell everything she had to buy it to quickly improve her strength.

With its innate attributes, this thing can probably boost one's cultivation level by twenty or thirty levels in one go.

Moreover, he had a strong premonition that he should be able to obtain the benefits left behind by the immortal from this immortal's handbook.

A single Immortal's Notebook can save you billions of cultivation points and thousands of cultivation points, and you also have the chance to comprehend the benefits left behind by the immortals. It's definitely worth the money.

At this moment, Su Huan sent a message:
"What a coincidence! Miss Luo Qingchan is also going to Flying Star Island to buy some things. You can escort her there."

Does she still need an escort?

Su Yu twitched the corner of her mouth and nodded, saying:
"Okay, when do you leave?"

"The day after tomorrow morning, at the west gate of Jinjiao City."

"it is good."

After shutting down communications, Su Yu bought some materials at the market and plunged into Zhenhai Pearl.

Ao Run was having a great time, while the goddess was diligently expanding the space of Zhenhai Pearl. At this time, the internal radius of Zhenhai Pearl had exceeded ten kilometers, which was many times larger than before.

Furthermore, after continuously absorbing a large amount of innate essence, the innate goddess was now significantly stronger.

Although her level is still 0, she is no longer half-dead as before. She has some ability, and at least within the Zhenhai Realm, she can mobilize the Zhenhai Realm's source power to suppress enemies.

Su Yu had his usual conversation with her before returning to his cave.

"what!"

Having not paid attention for a long time, he was shocked to discover that the thousand-year-old Vermilion Fruit Tree planted in the spirit field had already borne thirty-six thousand-year-old Vermilion Fruits.

Although the fruit is unripe and still very small, it has at least grown.

"It will be ready in about a year in reality."

Su Yu clapped her hands excitedly, overjoyed.

"This spiritual land within the realm is still too small; it needs to be expanded."

But the sheer scale of the project—moving rocks and trees from the outside world—made his scalp tingle.

Moreover, the internal space of Zhenhai Pearl will continue to expand, and he will never be able to expand in sync.

"We need to get some Breath Soil; that would solve the problem once and for all."

The Breath of Earth is a divine substance of soil, capable of infinitely generating land. If you throw a piece into the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, it can quickly generate a piece of land, even directly creating new land.

But then another problem arises: where can one find the Breath of Earth?
He scratched his head and sent another message to his second brother:
"Second brother, do you know where there is any Breath of Earth?"

Su Huan asked with a puzzled look:
"What do you want that for?"

"Just asking, and also asking about the price."

"This stuff is really expensive. I remember a few years ago, at a super auction jointly held by more than a dozen super merchant guilds on Blue Mountain Island, a few portions of Breath Soil were sold, and the final auction price was as high as 8 gold per portion."

"So expensive?"

"You think this thing can generate infinitely, and that the resulting innate spiritual soil is spiritual soil."

"If you want it, save up first. The Super Auction is usually held once every ten years. The last Super Auction was six years ago, and the next one is about three to five years away. Save up some money and buy it at the Super Auction when it comes time."

"Row."

For the next two days, Su Yu stayed inside Zhenhai Pearl, taking the time to brew some wine and study the formation.

Early the day after tomorrow, I went out and waited at the west gate of Jinjiao City. When the time came, I heard someone call my name. I turned around and saw a magnificent and beautiful blue boat suspended dozens of meters in the air. A slender figure emerged, revealing a beautiful face that was so pure and untouched by the dust of the world.

"Miss Qingchan!"

Su Yu jumped onto the Spirit Wing Flying Boat and greeted Luo Qingchan. Luo Qingchan nodded, and the Azure Sinking Boat soared into the sky and flew westward.

After the two left, the second brother and sister-in-law came out from a second-floor window of a small building not far away. He said with a smile:

"They've created the opportunity for them; it's up to you, little brother, to seize it."

Second sister-in-law Meng Siyi was not as optimistic as her husband; she shook her head and said:
"Don't be too happy yet. Miss Qingchan has been here for so long, I know her personality a little. She is very opinionated. If she likes someone, she likes them. If she doesn't like someone, she won't change her mind even after spending a long time together. She doesn't have any interest in that area right now, so I feel the chances are slim."

Su Huan laughed:

“I know, but as far as I know, Miss Qingchan’s attitude towards me is slightly different from that of others. We can give it a try.”

"Whether it works out or not, we've done our best and left the rest to fate. If it doesn't work out, it's okay too; we can still be friends."

"It's good that you think that way. If there's no progress when they come back, then let it go. Just don't end up like your senior brothers who didn't know how to handle things and offended Miss Qingchan."

"I will pay attention."

Su Yu had heard of the Azure Sinking Boat. It was a top-tier flying boat that was even more advanced than his Dragon Scale Flying Boat. According to its grade, it should be an eighth-rank vessel. It could go up to the Nine Heavens Gale Layer and down to the deepest parts of the Netherworld. It could go almost anywhere.

The Azure Sinking Boat was faster than the Dragon Scale Flying Boat, and soon left Golden Dragon Island and entered the vast sea.

At the bow of the boat, Su Yu gazed at the beautiful scenery outside, then casually took out a jade gourd and drank some monkey wine. He then retrieved an ordinary wine gourd from the Zhenhai Pearl and handed it to Luo Qingchan.
"I made my own monkey-shaped wine with a variety of fruits. It tastes great and won't make you drunk. Want to try it?"

Luo Qingchan raised her beautiful eyes to look at Su Yu, took the gourd and took a small sip, then said in a crisp voice:
"It really does taste good." "Is your profession a winemaker?"

"Yes, I spend most of my time leveling up now, and I only have time to study these less specialized professions when I have some free time."

"And you? Do you do anything research in your spare time while leveling up?"

She shook her head and said:

"I don't have that time."

Su Yu smiled and said:

"You should also combine work and rest in your daily practice. Occasionally, take some time to study some less specialized professions to relax your mind. You can give it a try."

With nothing to do, Su Yu and Luo Qingchan drank and chatted.

Although she usually acts very aloof, she becomes quite talkative once she accepts you.

The Azure Sinking Boat was incredibly fast, far exceeding the speed of the Dragon Scale Flying Boat. It quickly moved away from Golden Dragon Island and into the vast depths of the sea. Once the number of people around had decreased, Su Yu cracked her neck, turned back, and asked with a smile:

"Traveling all the time is too boring. How about we level up while we go?"

Luo Qingchan had the same idea, and immediately urged the Azure Sinking Boat to sink to the sea surface. Su Yu reached out and pulled Ao Run out, who was still holding a five-colored spirit fish in her mouth.

All they do all day is eat.

Su Yu was about to pull the five-colored spirit fish out of her mouth when she immediately swallowed it whole. Enraged, Su Yu slapped her on the forehead, twisted her neck, and threw her into the sea.

"Stay with us and don't wander off."

With a long roar, a flash of blue light appeared, and Ao Run's body rapidly expanded into a two-hundred-meter-long azure dragon. Ao Run spat out a mouthful of seawater, and just as Su Yu reached out to strike, he plunged into the sea and disappeared without a trace.

"He's getting more and more mischievous."

Turning around and seeing Luo Qingchan smiling, he smiled back and jumped directly into the sea.

Luo Qingchan also jumped into the sea, a bright blue bead hanging above her head, pushing the seawater aside.

A stunningly beautiful woman stood in the sea, surrounded by crystal-clear water, her skirts fluttering, like a fairy descending to earth.

"So lovely."

With a flick of his finger, a thunderous force cleaved through the seawater, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived several kilometers away in front of a group of large sea fish. He separated his two swords and circled back and forth, encircling the sixty or seventy large sea fish, each over eighty levels high. His sword energy crisscrossed back and forth, and in a short while, dozens of large fish were reduced to a pile of fish chunks.

He turned to look at Luo Qingchan. In just a short while, she had already killed more than two hundred deep-sea fish, more than twice as efficient as him.

Su Yu couldn't help but ask:
What grade are your two flying swords?

Luo Qingchan did not answer, but instead shared the attributes of one of the flying swords with him.

Thunder God Sword (Tier 9): Divine weapon, ancient treasure, sword worn by an ancient immortal.

Attributes: Attack 5600-7000, Attack Speed ​​4200-5400, Sword Control Speed ​​4300-5500, Sword Skill Bonus 100%, Traits: Armor Penetration +10, Thunder Swamp, Spirit Summoning.

Armor Break +10: Attacks ignore 100% of the target's defense.

Lei Ze: Pure Yang Thunder Power condenses, increasing attack power and attack speed by 200% for 30 seconds after activation, with a 24-hour cooldown.

Spiritual Connection: The flying sword possesses a spirit; it will issue a warning or automatically engage the enemy when it senses that its master is in danger.

"Holy crap, a ninth-tier ancient treasure?"

Su Yu was so impressed by these attributes that she couldn't help but feel incredibly envious.

"Is your other mouth also at the ninth level?"

"Yes."

"Great!"

Ancient treasures are celestial items, and some of their attributes are even stronger than those of ordinary tenth-tier supreme treasures.

He had previously guessed that her two flying swords were of extraordinary quality, at least eighth or even ninth rank, but they turned out to be even stronger than he had imagined, actually two ninth-rank flying swords.

Think about it, they have two ninth-tier ancient treasures, while I only have a pair of sixth-tier flying swords, a difference of three whole tiers.

"So enviable."

The difference in flying swords was vividly demonstrated in their destructive power. Even without going all out, her killing efficiency was at least twice as strong as his. A single swirling of her sword light could instantly kill a level 70 or 80 monster. If she went all out, even a typical scattered immortal's output would probably be inferior to hers.

With such insane damage output, the two swept through the enemy ranks with incredible speed, completely dominating the battlefield.

They didn't go into the seabed, but wandered around 500 meters above the surface. This level of water was mostly filled with monsters that provided experience points, and it was very rare to see a boss.

As they fought monsters and traveled, time slowly passed.

Before they knew it, more than a month had passed. The two, who had been fighting monsters and traveling at the same time, had crossed a long distance and arrived at the Flying Star Islands.

After spending more than a month together, no feelings developed between them. However, the two, who already had a good understanding of each other, found themselves to be very compatible during this time.

When leveling up or dividing tasks to kill a boss, you can know how to coordinate with just a word, a glance, or even just by seeing the other person's actions. There is no need for complicated communication.

Both sides are very strong. Although Su Yu's flying sword and swordsmanship are inferior to Luo Qingchan's, he has other magic treasures and spells to make up for it. Overall, they are not much different. At the same level, they can keep up with each other's pace, which is very important.
