Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 172 Returning to the Clan, Taking Stock of the Gains

"run!"

Su Yu immediately activated his flying sword and soared into the sky. In the next instant, the spot where he had just been was engulfed by countless magical treasures and spells.

What does a speed of 8200 km/h mean?
This was faster than most of the loose immortals who were not good at speed. The surrounding players were all ordinary players with limited strength, and they didn't even have time to react before he escaped and headed straight for the outer heavens.

However, some rogue immortals and demonic cultivators couldn't hold back any longer and took action, chasing after them on various flying magical artifacts or escape techniques.

"It's so fast!"

Su Yu glanced back and knew he was no match for him. He sighed inwardly, took out the Earth Immortal Talisman and activated it. His master's phantom soared into the sky and hovered in the air. The scattered immortals rushed over and attacked him frantically. He stood unmoved in his master's arms, took out the Great Teleportation Talisman and activated it.

He activated in ten seconds, transforming into a beam of light and soaring into the sky.

When they reappeared, they had returned to the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect.

"It's safe."

Su Yu let out a soft breath, reached out and pressed her hand to her chest, feeling her heart beating very fast.

So exciting.

Killing a sect's true disciples right under the noses of millions of players, and then escaping while being hunted by millions of players—it couldn't be more thrilling.

After standing still in the air for a while, Su Yu reached out and pulled open her robe, revealing a blood-red mark on her chest. It was a curse placed by Sikong Xiang before his death, which had not disappeared after she returned to her true form.

"I'll ask my master if it can be eliminated later."

Wearing this on your body is not a good thing.

Not to mention its impact on one's temperament, it may seem at first glance that it can help you comprehend the laws of blood and slaughter, but the price is becoming a demon.

Yes, the more he kills, the more he is affected by the curse. When he comprehends the laws of blood and slaughter, that is when he falls into demonic possession.

He closed his collar, opened the panel again, checked the log, and his face lit up with joy.

The one and a half minutes of frenzied killing he just committed actually earned him more than 50,000 merits. Adding them to what he already had, his total merits have now reached 90509, less than 10,000 away from 100,000.

In addition, he gained a bit of Heavenly Heart by helping Heavenly Dao kill the Blood Demon, and now his Heavenly Heart is +3.

"Cool!"

"Once things calm down, I'll find another opportunity to travel south."

The thought of this made him grin.

Anyway, demonic cultivators are all bad. Whether they are refining corpses or ghosts, they use the flesh and souls of living people, either native humans or other players they hunt and kill. They are all bad people.

Needless to say, someone like Sikong Xiang, a true disciple of the Blood Demon Hall, is even more extraordinary. We don't know what he was like before, but after transforming into a Blood Demon this time, he directly killed tens of thousands of players to become Blood Gods.

This kind of death results in a loss of at least ten years of lifespan, and is extremely vicious. Killing him was an act of justice, and he had no regrets.

After closing the panel, Su Yu did not return to Suspended Mountain immediately, but instead flew towards Xuanzhen Immortal City outside the sect, intending to dispose of the spoils of war first.

They went directly to the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce's branch in Xuanzhen Immortal City and disposed of all the unwanted spoils of war.

Including the Blood Shadow Divine Blade, there were three ordinary seventh-tier magic weapons and two high-quality seventh-tier magic weapons, which sold for a total of 7000 gold.

The sixth-grade wristband sold for 50 gold.

Seven Blood Fiend Pills were sold for 105 gold.

32 Bloodstones sold for 320 gold.

The Blood Transformation Flying Technique sold for 150 gold.

The Five Desires Demon Thunder Technique sold for 200 gold.

The exquisite Five Desires Demonic Technique of the Heavens sold for 2500 gold.

The four sets of the exquisite Blood Shadow Demon Scripture sold for a total of 9600 gold, with each set selling for 2400 gold.

The two sets of the Mysterious Blood Fiend Technique sold for a total of 26000 gold, with each set costing 13000 gold.

Normally, the price of a refined-level cultivation technique and a basic sword technique is 2000 to 3000 gold. These sets are all demonic cultivation techniques, and they are not strong in themselves, so they don't sell for a good price here.

The price of a profound-level mental cultivation technique and a basic sword technique ranges from 12000 to 20000 gold, a significant difference. Even though they are both demonic cultivation techniques, they are not top-tier in the same category and therefore do not fetch a high price here.

In total, he sold 45925 gold, and with his existing funds of 4178, he now has a total of 50103 gold.

In the end, only one thousand-year-old blood ginseng remained unsold.

As soon as he got the money, he immediately spent 16000 gold coins to buy a copy of the Immortal's Manual, which he would use when he transferred to cultivate the sect's core teachings.

Only after doing all this did he return to his clan, satisfied.

Returning to the Suspended Mountain, I saw my master standing at the entrance as soon as I reached the top, stroking his beard with a smile as he looked at me.

He quickly stepped forward and bowed down:
"Disciple Su Yu pays respects to Grandmaster."

Master Xuanwei gently stroked his head and asked with a smile:

"Is the trip going smoothly?"

He nodded and said:

"This disciple's journey has been successful. He has successfully killed Sikong Xiang, the true disciple of the Blood Demon Palace. He will no longer be able to wreak havoc on the world."

"very good!"

The Taoist Xuanwei clapped his hands in praise.

"You come with me."

With that, he turned and flew out of the sect, and Su Yu immediately followed.

"Now that you have completed your mission and returned, hand in the mission and get the benefits first, and then continue to accumulate contributions and merits."

"Disciple knows."

The Taoist Xuanwei stroked his beard and continued to ask:
"Which immortal bone did you just condense?"

"Splitting Sky Immortal Bone."

"How often does your dragon transformation take?"

Su Yu answered honestly:

"One month."

There's no point in hiding it; people will figure it out eventually. "That's good. The trial still has a few months left, so you can accumulate more experience."

"Of course you don't have to go. With your current level of preparation, you're almost guaranteed a spot in the top ten."

As Xuanwei Daoist walked, he inquired about Su Yu's situation, including how Su Yu had condensed new immortal bones. He knew all of this perfectly well.

Before they knew it, they arrived at the sect's internal affairs hall, which corresponds to the external affairs hall. However, this is not where missions are issued, but rather where missions are submitted and rewards are received. Only missions that can earn the sect's merits, large or small, can be submitted.

His master personally brought him over, and he quickly completed the formalities and received the reward.

10000 sect contribution points, one great merit, +50 in demon slaying, and +1 in the requirements for becoming a true disciple.

"These conditions for becoming a true disciple are related to the future true disciple trials. You can start accumulating them now. If you have the opportunity to complete more of these tasks in the future, and you accumulate enough, you can directly advance to the position of true disciple without having to go through the trials."

"I wonder what conditions are required to directly advance to the level of a true disciple?"

"At least five or more."

"so much"

The difficulty exceeded Su Yu's expectations.

But upon closer reflection, it makes sense. It's the true lineage, the core direct lineage of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect. As long as one can rise to a higher position, as long as one doesn't die, even if one does poorly, one will still be an elder of each branch. If one does well, one will be the head of each branch. Among them, the most powerful will even have the opportunity to compete for the position of sect leader of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect.

Once you think about it, the difficulty level becomes quite reasonable.

"What are your plans next?"

On the way back, Daoist Xuanwei casually asked:

"Should we take a break, or continue to make contributions?"

Su Yu already had an idea, and replied loudly:
"I am currently wanted by a bounty of nearly 100,000 taels of gold. Many rogue immortals are looking for me. It is too dangerous to go south now. I should rest for a while first."

"By the way, does Grandmaster have any way to help me remove this curse?"

He pulled down the collar of his robe, revealing the Blood God's Curse on his chest.

Xuanwei Daoist glanced at it, frowned, and remained silent for a while before speaking:
"It's possible, but it's troublesome, time-consuming, and extremely dangerous."

"Danger?"

"Yes."

"This curse is both a curse and a gift. It will not harm you and can even help you comprehend the laws of blood and slaughter. It is beneficial to you, so even if you condense the Heavenly Might Star Bone in the future, you will not be able to remove it."

"Because this power has attached itself to your soul, it is extremely dangerous for outsiders to remove it, and there is a risk of tearing your soul apart."

"what"

"What should I do?"

Grandmaster waved his hand and said:
"Don't rush. It's just difficult to remove at this stage. But once you condense the Heavenly Might Star Bone or the Immortal Body, and after you have established your Dao Foundation, you can slowly refine it yourself."

"If you can refine it yourself, the curse that burns the remnants of Sikong Xiang's primordial spirit and true spirit is a tonic that can greatly strengthen your primordial spirit."

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief and stopped rushing.

It's good that it can be resolved; a little slowness is fine.

The old man and the young man flew slowly, chatting as they went, and leisurely returned to the Hanging Mountain, but stopped in front of their master's cave.

Su Yu looked up and saw the Old Ancestor Youlong sitting in the garden in front of his master's cave, drinking tea. Sensing their return, Old Ancestor Youlong looked up at Su Yu with surprise in his eyes.

Su Yu was wondering why the Old Ancestor Youlong had that expression when he suddenly sensed something was wrong. He looked up and saw his master gritting his teeth, waving his hand and an invisible force shoving him away.

"You should go back first. I have some private matters to discuss with your grandmaster."

"Oh!"

When he said this word, he had already been pushed halfway up the mountain, not far from Fengyun Taoist Temple.

Su Yu didn't think too much about it and turned to go home.

Master was still not here, nor was Third Senior Brother, but Fifth Senior Sister Jin Qianyue was.

Fifth Senior Sister knew that he was currently undergoing trials, so she asked him a few simple questions about his situation, but didn't ask too many, so as not to cause gossip and interfere with the trials later.

Su Yu didn't dare to stay with his senior sister for long, because he discovered that the Blood God's curse amplified his desires, and he actually developed feelings for his beautiful senior sister.

"No."

Upon returning to the house, he immediately entered Zhenhai Pearl and saw Canghai extending her jade hand, already waiting for him.

Holding her small hand, a cool sensation flowed into my body, quickly calming my restless blood and energy.

Canghai's cool little hand pressed against his forehead, and she whispered:
"You can come to see me more often in the future, and I can help you calm your inner turmoil."

"I know."

Su Yu nodded, her brows furrowed.

"This thing is a bit troublesome. I'll have to rely more on the vast ocean to suppress my inner fire in the future."

"And moonlight and dew."

He took a sip of Moon Essence Dew, and the coolness seeped into his body, which also suppressed some of his inner fire.

"We need to brew more of this."

After all, Canghai is inside the Zhenhai Pearl, and he can't open the Zhenhai Pearl all the time.

"In addition, find another recipe for a spirit wine that can suppress the fire in the heart."

Moonlight Dew can only suppress fire poison and inner demons, not specifically suppress inner fire and desires.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Su Yu went straight to Xuanzhen Immortal City. She stayed in the city for almost half a day and found a recipe for a fine wine that could suppress the fire in one's heart—Xuanbing Jade Marrow Liquid.

Mystic Ice Jade Marrow Liquid Recipe: A seventh-grade fine wine, brewed with Mystic Ice Marrow from the far north and a thousand-year-old snow lotus, capable of suppressing inner demons and inner fire.

Attributes: The first hit permanently increases ice resistance by 500 points and slightly improves resistance to inner demons and inner fire.

Attributes: Restores 120000 mana points in one breath, then restores 2000 mana points per second for 30 seconds. Special effect: Suppresses inner demons and inner fire for 2 hours.

This is a seventh-grade fine wine, requiring the addition of the Northern Mystic Ice Marrow and a thousand-year-old snow lotus, which can suppress inner demons and inner fire.
