Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 167 The Decrepit Old Demonic Cultivator in Seclusion, His Astounding Income

Another thing that surprised Su Yu was that this guy, who was clearly showing that his lifespan was about to end, was not completely killed by the Destiny Reincarnation Sword, which killed him with a lifespan loss of three times that of others.

Normally, the Supreme Sword Technique only increases lifespan loss by 100%, while the talent bonus is 100%. 200% of a normal five-year lifespan is 15 years.

It can only be said that his lifespan was indeed coming to an end, but he had just more than fifteen years left to live.

After all, for a wandering immortal with a lifespan of several hundred years, 15 years or 20 years remaining are considered the end of their lifespan.

The drops were all pretty good. It seems that Blood Shadow Elder Zhang Shiqi is nearing the end of his life and will basically stop going out to level up. He's already cleared out the junk items, so what's left are all good stuff.

However, for Su Yu, apart from the thousand-year-old blood ginseng which could be kept as one of the main ingredients of the Hunyuan Wuliang Pill, everything else was just something to sell for money.

The Blood Shadow Divine Blade is a seventh-tier magic weapon, worth around 1000 gold.

A sixth-grade wristband is worth about 50 gold.

Blood Fiend Pill is a burst-damage pill used by demonic cultivators, and it's useless to him. The market price is 15 gold per pill, and 7 pills cost 105 gold in total.

The Blood Transformation Flying Technique is a demonic escape technique that requires the support of demonic cultivation methods. He certainly couldn't switch to cultivating demonic cultivation methods; he could only sell it for money, worth around 150 gold.

The value of a thousand-year-old blood ginseng is the same as that of a thousand-year-old vermilion fruit, worth 500 gold.

Bloodstones are used by demonic cultivators to replenish their blood and qi, heal injuries, and practice blood magic. One stone is worth 10 gold, and 32 stones are worth 320 gold.

The total value is 2125 gold. After deducting the Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng, you can earn about 1625 gold.

"As expected, players are still more valuable than bosses."

Su Yu clicked her tongue, put the things away, and was considering whether to leave the stone chamber or pry open the door when she suddenly sensed something and turned around sharply. She saw some streams of light gathering in the center of the stone chamber, which quickly condensed into the figure of the Blood Shadow Elder Zhang Shiqi.

"His respawn point is here?"

The resurrected Zhang Shiqi looked even older, with lividity appearing on his face, looking like he could die at any moment.

It had just been revived and its eyes twitched slightly as if it were about to wake up, but it was so old that its reaction was startled.

Su Yu reflexively pointed:
"Hundred-Eyed Divine Light!"

A giant spider phantom covered in eyes appeared above his head. With its pupils wide open, a hundred beams of multicolored divine light shot out, and a series of Debaffs directly knocked Zhang Shiqi into a dazed state.

The next instant, a purple-blue sword light swept across, and a head flew off.

In an instant, countless streams of light converged and condensed into a blood-red cocoon of light that flew toward him.

"Prompt: You have killed the target. The Fate Reincarnation Sword has reduced the target's lifespan by 15 points, and the target is now dead."

"Prompt: Completely kill the target, gain 55824 million kill experience, 1158 Taoist cultivation points, and 92 merit points."

Su Yu's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

"Is the reward for completely killing the target really that generous?"

Although the experience gained from the kills was less than what he had accumulated in his entire life, it was still far greater than what he had at this level, even more than the experience gained from killing a level 200 super boss.

It seems incredible, but that's how the rules really are.

After all, normally speaking, it's much harder to completely kill a player at the Loose Immortal level than to kill a super BOSS.

Top-tier sects like the Blood God Society can eliminate a super boss at a huge cost, but it's very difficult to completely kill a rogue immortal player.

Magical artifacts capable of trapping and refining players are extremely rare; at least Su Yu has only ever seen Chu Xinyue possess one.

Even his own Zhenhai Pearl is no good.

Although the Zhenhai Pearl is an innate celestial treasure with its own internal space, as long as it works with the Canghai Sea to seal the space and trap players from teleporting away, it cannot prevent them from being resurrected after death.

This isn't a problem with the level of the magic item, but rather with its characteristics.

Instantly gaining over 500 million killing experience points, Su Yu now holds a total of 2.36 billion killing experience points and spiritual energy experience points, and his cultivation level has reached 2358 points.

"Damn it, if we could kill Sikong Xiang completely, wouldn't that be another huge windfall?"

Sikong Xiang is no match for an old fellow like Zhang Shiqi, the Blood Shadow Elder, who is practically dying.

If we use templates as an analogy, Zhang Shiqi is merely an elite template, while Sikong Xiang is at least a legendary template.

Su Yu was quite looking forward to it.

After looking at the panel, Su Yu looked at the Blood Shadow Elder's loot. The blood-red orb he had seen for the first time opened, containing only four items. Not many, but their value exceeded his expectations.

Blood Shadow Divine Mist (Seventh Tier), still a high-quality item, worth a little over 2000 gold.

The Blood Fiend Great Art, a profound demonic cultivation method, can only be used once and its value is uncertain. He had never obtained it before and had no idea about its price.

A page of a Taoist book made of human skin records the Great Method of the Five Desires and Yin Demons of the Heavens. It contains many secret methods of the demonic sects, including the Five Desires and Demonic Gods and Gods Secret Method. It is made by refining five pairs of naked men and women into the Five Desires and Demonic Gods and Gods, which are used to absorb people's essence and cause people's bones to be destroyed and their spirits to perish.

A jade slip contains a Five Desires Yin Demon Thunder Technique, a highly refined thunder technique.

This has probably exposed the Blood Shadow Elder's true colors.

With the Blood Shadow Divine Blade and the Blood Transformation Flying Technique already in use, a master of the Demonic Sect can be created immediately with a little preparation.

Unfortunately, they were all demonic cultivation methods and secret techniques, none of which he could use; he could only sell them for money.

"wrong."

"This trip should be enough to raise the funds for repairing and upgrading the Demonfire Golden Canopy."

Su Yu, who was initially feeling a bit regretful, suddenly thought of this and felt that it wasn't a pity anymore.

If he could gather enough money, he could acquire a ninth-tier magic weapon, which would be far better than obtaining a bunch of random junk. After collecting the items and burning the corpse, Su Yu transformed back into a Heavenly Ghost, turning into a wisp of smoke and rushing towards the stone gate, passing directly through the wall.

He had already broken the restrictions on the stone chamber, leaving only an ordinary stone door, which was no match for the Heavenly Ghost's talent.

Outside the stone gate was a passageway, empty and wisps of smoke drifting around inside, seemingly unafraid of being discovered.

In a secluded place, several kilometers underground, there would be no guards.

There are many forks in the road underground, and each fork has a secluded cultivation chamber. Su Yu deliberately chose to enter the chambers with secluded cultivation chambers. Inside, there were mostly old and frail demonic cultivators from the Blood Fiend Sect, who had no power to resist him, a vigorous and powerful righteous cultivator.

In just half a day, he easily eliminated 5 players whose levels were similar to Blood Shadow Elder.

Two of them had lifespans of less than fifteen years, and were completely wiped out in one fell swoop.

Two of them had a lifespan of over fifteen years but less than thirty years, and they were killed twice before they were finally eliminated.

There was another one whose lifespan exceeded thirty years, and it took three attempts to kill him completely.

The five old demonic cultivators dropped a total of 460 merit points, 26 billion killing experience points, and 5450 cultivation points.

Including what he had done before, he now instantly possesses 4.98 billion killing experience points and 7808 points of cultivation.

The spoils of war were equally valuable, consisting of three seventh-tier magic treasures, two common and one exquisite, with a total value of up to four thousand gold.

In addition, there are five sets of demonic cultivation techniques, one set of profound-level Blood Fiend Technique, and four sets of exquisite-level Blood Shadow Black Fiend Demon Scripture.

There are no other spoils of war. Upon complete death, no miscellaneous items will be dropped; only the main magical artifact and the cultivation technique will be dropped.

This gain was less than expected, but it's normal. After all, I'm about to die of old age. It's quite normal to distribute the treasures to my disciples and relatives before I go into seclusion.

Although demonic cultivators are selfish, when a person is about to die, their thoughts are not much different from those of ordinary people.

After taking down these five, there will be no more prey in this cave.

Although there are still many people in seclusion in the underground caves, they are not in death cultivation, which means that the cultivators inside are still young and strong. The resurrection point for non-death cultivation would not be here. If they die and are resurrected, the news will definitely leak out, which would be no fun.

A few minutes later, Su Yu stood at the entrance of the underground cave.

After a moment's hesitation, a wisp of smoke drifted toward the gate.

They easily passed through the stone gate. There was no one guarding it, but when they looked up, they could see people everywhere in the air, fighting against the guild alliance players outside the protective array of the dome.

A wisp of smoke drifted out, circled the doorway, and quickly surveyed the surroundings. Comparing it with the map he had purchased earlier, he immediately knew his current location.

Located behind the Blood Fiend Sect, it is a place specifically for cultivators to cultivate in seclusion.

He carefully recalled the map from his memory, and soon a three-dimensional map appeared in his mind.

"The back mountain."

There aren't many good places nearby.

The Blood Fiend Sect's internal layout is also a traditional one, with the sect's treasure vault and important locations all in the center, surrounded by various branches. To gain any benefits, one must go to the center of the sect.

However, the corresponding sect experts are mostly in the central region, including the Earth Immortal Grand Elder.

"No, we can't go now, we'll definitely be discovered."

"Either we wait for the Blood God Guild Alliance to launch a full-scale attack, or I'll add fuel to the fire."

The demon grinned wickedly with its hideous face before retreating back underground.

His purpose in coming here was to provoke an early showdown between the two sides. Now that everyone's in, what are we waiting for?

After burrowing back underground, Tian Gui dug out a space, transformed back into his true form, and huddled inside. Su Yu stroked his chin, pondering his tactics for later.

When to take action and what to do after breaking the barrier must all be planned in advance.

First step, go to sleep.

Because we need to wait for the Sky-Splitting Divine Power to cool down.

The second step is to find a place where you can advance or retreat at will after waking up, break the protective array barrier of the sect, and then immediately go underground to take refuge.

The third step is to wait until the sect's protective formation is broken. The guild alliance will definitely launch a general attack. At that time, the two sides will fight each other. As a true disciple, Sikong Xiang is very powerful and will definitely be responsible for resisting the Blood Fiend Sect's Earth Immortal. Even if he has a ninth-level magic weapon, he will definitely be in danger. At that time, the opportunity will naturally come.

"The plan is good."

Su Yu carefully reviewed these steps, confirmed that there were no problems, and continued to drill into the ground. She drilled to a depth of two or three thousand meters before digging a hole again, transforming back into her true form, opening the portal, and entering the Zhenhai Pearl to rest.

As soon as we entered, Canghai greeted us, his voice as gentle as spring water, soothing and comforting.
Is there anything I can help you with?

Su Yu glanced at her current level; the Innate Water Element Creation Heavenly Book had already reached level fifty-five. She smiled and waved her hand, saying:
"Let's talk about it when you're stronger."

Normally, it would be nice to let her come out and breathe some air from the other side, but this time there's a celestial being outside. If she goes out and gets caught, he won't be able to save her.

After turning the jade gourd around inside the Zhenhai Pearl, I discovered that the area inside the Zhenhai Pearl had expanded, and its radius had now reached 15 kilometers.

As her strength gradually increased, the expansion speed of Zhenhai Realm also increased.

"This spiritual field space is becoming increasingly smaller; we need to get some Breath Soil to create land as soon as possible."

"I wonder if there is one within the sect."

He took a swig of wine and nodded, saying:

"I'll ask my master when I get back. If there's any, I'll exchange it. Anyway, if I can complete this mission, I'll get a lot of sect contribution points and a great merit, which should be enough to exchange for it."
