Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 131 Upgrading Magical Items, Powerful Characteristics

After chatting for a while, the two began to divide the spoils, each taking out their prizes and placing them between them.

Each of them is an eighth-grade spirit.

A fake Dragon Ball, which was transformed into the essence of the Crimson Tide after dying once, is no longer pure. It can be used to refine magical treasures, but the upper limit for refining magical treasures should be the seventh or eighth tier. It is no longer possible to use it to refine ninth-tier magical treasures.

Five portions of true dragon blood can be refined to obtain dragon bloodline, or given to a spirit pet to grant it dragon bloodline. However, like the Dragon Ball, the effect is somewhat reduced, and it is no longer possible to obtain true dragon bloodline.

A pile of dragon scales, 725 in total, can be used for refining weapons or crafting high-level equipment.

Unfortunately, we didn't get the dragon bones or the dragon's reverse scale. The most valuable thing inside was the dragon skeleton, which was over ten kilometers long and could be used to forge a ninth-tier warship.

In addition, slaying the demonic dragon also yields a large amount of killing experience and cultivation, but only Luo Qingchan received a share. When he transformed into a dragon, he received 680 merit points and a massive amount of experience, which raised his True Dragon level to 204, increasing his attributes and strength.

After examining all the spoils, Su Yu looked at Luo Qingchan and asked:

"Half for each of us, which do you want?"

She countered with a question:

Do you need anything?

Su Yu didn't stand on ceremony and pointed to two of them, saying:
"I need to upgrade my magic weapon with the essence of the dragon, and strengthen the dragon bloodline within my spirit pet to advance its level."

She nodded; since she was going to sell them anyway, she simply put the dragon ball and the pile of dragon scales away.

"Then let's each get what we need."

"Row."

Su Yu didn't stand on ceremony and put away the eighth-grade essence and the true dragon's blood.

He took out the Azure Cloud Canopy and opened it, transforming it into a canopy formed from a cloud of azure. He held the essence in his hand and pressed it onto the Azure Cloud Canopy. The essence disappeared into the canopy, accompanied by a clear dragon roar. A dragon-shaped phantom moved within the canopy, and a faint light flew out from the dragon's shadow and seeped into the canopy.

At this moment, Su Yu suddenly had an epiphany. After a moment of contemplation, he channeled his magic power into the Azure Cloud Canopy, guiding the dragon-shaped essence to strengthen the magic weapon.

At this point, the Azure Cloud Canopy has two evolution options.

One option is free evolution, where the power of the demonic dragon's essence seeps into the magic weapon, and the evolved Azure Cloud Canopy randomly possesses a demonic dragon trait.

Another option is to specify evolution, which also has multiple choices.

You can choose to let the Demon Dragon Essence cover the Azure Cloud Canopy, and select the strongest one from the many optional characteristics of the Demon Dragon Essence.

Alternatively, you can choose to remove the characteristics from the Demon Dragon Essence and only enhance the inherent characteristics of the Azure Cloud Cover.

Alternatively, you can choose to retain the original characteristics of the Azure Cloud Treasure Canopy while adding a new one, but if you choose this option, your spiritual power will be limited, and the magic weapon will not be able to advance to the eighth tier.

However, this is not a big problem, because the Demon Dragon Essence is an eighth-grade essence, while the Azure Cloud Canopy is only a sixth-grade magic weapon. Although the power of the essence can be promoted to the eighth grade, the power of the essence is limited if it is to skip grades, and it can only be promoted to an ordinary eighth-grade magic weapon.

However, if you don't skip levels and only advance to the seventh rank, you can directly advance to a seventh-rank rare-grade magic weapon, and your essence power will also have an excess.

This excess spiritual energy can not only maximize the quality of the magic weapon, but also allow you to choose a powerful dragon spirit attribute.

Su Yu's choice was to first upgrade it to the seventh rank of rare item, which would be enough for him to use for many years. He had plenty of time to find a way to upgrade it to the eighth rank.

For example, in a few years, there will be a red tide on Jinjiao Island. At that time, we should try to find a way to get another Rank 8 Essence Soul.

Alternatively, we could see if we could obtain the power of laws again, which would also guarantee the quality upgrade to an eighth-tier rare item.

The decision was made, and the magical artifact began its advancement.

However, promotion is not something that can be achieved overnight. After watching for a while, Su Yu put away the Azure Cloud Canopy and then pulled out Ao Run, who was inside the Zhenhai Pearl.

With a flick of his right hand, five portions of true dragon blood appeared in his grasp. Ao Run's eyes lit up, and he pounced forward, his long body sliding around his waist, wrapping around his arm, and twirling in front of him. He looked at him with his large, watery eyes, his expression a mixture of coquettishness and longing:

"I want!"

"Give it to me quickly."

Su Yu touched the small, exquisite dragon horns on her head, then tossed Ao Run out like lightning, swallowed the five portions of true dragon blood, and hurriedly burrowed into his stomach, bumping her head into his lower abdomen.

"No hurries."

He reached out and grabbed her by the neck, throwing her into the Zhenhai Pearl. He focused his consciousness on her, and as soon as she entered the Zhenhai Pearl, he revealed his true form, with a large amount of Guishui essence gathering to form a cocoon of light that enveloped her.

"After refining five portions of true dragon blood, she should be able to transform into a dragon!"

She had already advanced to the terrifying template a long time ago, and after so much training and leveling up, the Nine Transformations Dragon Scripture was not far from the fourth level.

Refining five portions of true dragon blood should be enough to upgrade the Nine Dragons Transformation Scripture to the fifth level in one go. Upgrading it two levels in a row should also upgrade the template by one level, which would be an unparalleled template.

The ultimate template is already a true dragon.

"Well!"

Su Yu's lips curled up slightly. He recalled the Hundred-Eyed Demon Spider with the peerless template from before, which was so strong at only level 135, while Ao Run was now level 160.

After distributing the spoils, the two did not immediately return, nor did they continue following the Red Tide. Instead, they dived into the sea to level up. An hour later, Su Yu felt the changes in the Azure Cloud Canopy and took it out. He immediately sensed the changes; the Azure Cloud was visibly more substantial, and its attributes had indeed improved, allowing him to choose new traits.

Azure Cloud Canopy (Seventh Tier): A rare defensive magic item. When activated, it produces azure clouds that are impervious to water, fire, and all magic.

Attributes: Defense 200000, Damage Reduction 40%, Mana Conversion Rate 300, Attached Spell: Auspicious Cloud Protection, optional.

Auspicious Cloud Protection: Activate the Azure Cloud Canopy to condense into an auspicious cloud to protect the body, providing six times the defense of a magic weapon, reducing damage by 60%, lasting for 5 minutes, with a 24-hour cooldown.

"It was indeed full."

Su Yu looked at the baby's attributes with delight.

Leaving aside its defensive capabilities, 20 is definitely top-tier among seventh-tier magic weapons. Just like the Heavenly Sound Bell that Chu Xinyue borrowed back then, its damage reduction has reached the level of an eighth-tier magic weapon. In addition, with its maxed-out mana conversion rate, its basic attributes have definitely reached the limit of a seventh-tier defensive magic weapon.

The protective aura of auspicious clouds has also been enhanced, increasing the magic weapon's defensive power by six times after activation, a 100% increase from the original five times.

The damage reduction was originally 50%, now it's 60%.

The duration was originally 3 minutes, but it is now 5 minutes, which is a significant improvement overall.

In addition, there is a new feature that has not yet been selected.

He tapped the magic item interface, and the word 'selectable' popped up, immediately revealing several selectable features.

Special Feature: True Dragon Scale, increases defensive damage reduction by 10% and defensive strength by 3000 points.

Special Feature: Dragon's Guardian. Summons a phantom dragon to protect the user, granting five times the defense of a magic weapon, 50% damage reduction, and immunity to mental-related impacts for 5 minutes. Cooldown: 12 hours.

Characteristics: Transforms into a Demon Dragon. Temporarily transforms into a Demon Dragon at level 150. Legendary template. Possesses all the talent abilities of a Demon Dragon at the current level. Lasts for 30 minutes. Cooldown: 5 days. The Demon Dragon cannot level up.

Characteristic: True Dragon's Breath. Summons the head of a demonic dragon to unleash a breath that deals 10 points of pure spiritual energy damage to enemies within a range of up to 300 meters wide and up to 3000 meters far. Cooldown time: 30 minutes.

The dragon has more than just these four selectable traits, but the excess essence ensures that the traits that appear will be absolutely top-tier.

Su Yu glanced at the four options and made her choice almost instantly.

There is actually no choice; of the four options, two are defensive and two are offensive.

The Azure Cloud Canopy is a defensive magic weapon, so its defense should be maximized. Therefore, Dragon Transformation and True Dragon Breath are directly excluded.

The remaining items are Dragon Scale and Dragon Guardian. The attributes of Dragon Guardian overlap with those of Qingyun Guardian, which is also very strong, but it is still inferior to the first True Dragon Scale.

With a 10% damage reduction, the Azure Cloud Canopy's total damage reduction becomes 50%, which is comparable to an eighth-tier magic weapon.

With a defense strength of +3000, it means that attacks with a defense strength of less than 3000 will not even be able to consume the Treasure Light's defense power.

All things considered, its defensive strength is definitely stronger than that of Dragon Guardian.

Azure Cloud Canopy (Seventh Tier): A rare defensive magic item. When activated, it produces azure clouds that are impervious to water, fire, and all magic.

Attributes: Defense 200000, Damage Reduction 50%, Mana Conversion Rate 300, +3000 Defense Strength, Attached Spells: Impervious to Water and Fire, Unaffected by All Spells, Auspicious Cloud Protection, True Dragon Scales.

Auspicious Cloud Protection: Activate the Azure Cloud Canopy to condense into an auspicious cloud to protect the body, providing six times the defense of a magic weapon, reducing damage by 70%, lasting for 5 minutes, with a 24-hour cooldown.

True Dragon Scale grants a 10% damage reduction and 3000 points of defense.

"Perfect!"

He poured his magic power into the magic weapon and refined it again. With a thought, the blue clouds above his head surged and quickly transformed into a canopy that hung above his head. Blue auspicious clouds surrounded it, and wisps of blue light hung down to protect him, giving him a great sense of security.

"With the defensive power of this magic weapon, plus 100,000 mana, it should be able to forcibly overcome most ordinary-difficulty heavenly tribulations now!"

It's not quite high-difficulty yet, but once the cultivation technique is fully developed, all five immortal bones are condensed, and some cannon fodder magic weapons are prepared, the first heavenly tribulation will be almost 100% secure.

"too strong!"

Su Yu grinned, and then deliberately lured a group of monsters to attack him.

The level 70-80 deep-sea giants kept spewing water arrows and poisonous water at the treasure light, but they didn't even cause a ripple. After barely breaking through the treasure light's defense, the damage was only a few hundred points. After the 50% damage reduction, it was only two or three hundred points. For the Qingyun Treasure Canopy with 200,000 defense, it was just a drop in the ocean. No matter how many came, it wouldn't be afraid.

Su Yu and Luo Qingchan then trained hard underwater for almost a week before leaving and returning to Flying Star Island just before the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce's auction was about to begin.

The siege of the super BOSS a week ago is now history, and there are hardly any people talking about Red Tide in the channel anymore.

On her way back, Su Yu made a point of learning about the Flying Star Guild Alliance's siege of the demon dragon. A week ago, the Flying Star Alliance had been making a big fuss about the guild's success in slaying the dragon, but it didn't mention that someone had stolen the final blow from the demon dragon, nor did it issue any wanted notices.

Clearly, they genuinely didn't know that the dragon was Su Yu in disguise, nor did they know who had unleashed that sword strike from within the thunderclouds.

This result relieved Su Yu. It's a win-win situation for everyone.

Since they didn't bring it up, he naturally wouldn't jump out, and the matter was left unresolved.

Back in Flying Star City, the auction was scheduled to start tomorrow, so he first sold off the miscellaneous items he had collected over the past few days, including spider silk from the Hundred-Eyed Demon Spider, spirits of varying grades, many low-level magic weapons, a sixth-tier magic weapon, and a large amount of materials, earning a total of 358 gold.
