Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 2 Qi Refining Method and Cultivation

Ziyuan Qi Refining Technique (Intermediate): A Xuanmen Qi Refining Secret Method with fifteen levels in total.

Each level increased by +20 points of health, +40 points of mana, +20 points of spell power, and +0.1/second of mana recovery.

Cultivation requirements: 15 points of innate bone, 14 points of innate understanding.

The levels of basic Taoism are the same as the basic sword techniques, ranging from elementary, intermediate, advanced, exquisite, mysterious, town-supreme, and great way.

The Qi Refining Mental Method is the foundation of all cultivation. The mental method given by the guild is only the intermediate Qi Refining Mental Method. Although it is not a good mental method, there is no need to be picky about free things.

Just make do with it for now, and when you have money or become a disciple of a sect, you can switch to a better one.

Then he took out the red jade slip, transformed it into light and merged it into his body. A Taoist method called Fire Yuan Zhenjie appeared on the panel.

True Explanation of Fire Element: Fire-based Taoist magic, including many fire-based spells, totaling ten levels.

Attributes: Each level increases +1% fire spell power, +5% casting distance, and a certain amount of fire spell theoretical experience.

Cultivation requirements: 15 points of innate understanding.

The true solution of Fire Element is also a guild benefit. After leveling up, you can comprehend various fire spells from it, which is very useful for leveling up.

His consciousness fell on the Qi Refining Mentality Method, and a green + sign immediately appeared on the Taoism Method. He glanced at the 320 million practice points accumulated in the experience pool over the past few days, which were killing experience points, and 33 points of Taoism, which were skill points.

With a thought, 20000 cultivation points and 2 points of Taoism were extracted from the experience pool and invested in Taoism.

The next second, a warm current surged out of the body, circulated along the meridians of the limbs and bones, and finally converged in the sea of ​​​​qi, turning into magic power.

"Hint: Purple Element Qi Refining Technique has been upgraded to the first level. Qi and HP +20, Mana +40, Spell Power +20, Mana Recovery +0.1 points per second."

"Hint: Affected by unknown factors, HP +40, Mana +80, Spell Power +40, Mana Recovery +0.2 points/second."

"Hint: The Purple Element Qi Refining Technique is upgraded by one level, resulting in the Taoist technique [Protective Qi Shield]. This technique uses mana to condense a protective Qi shield. Each level of this technique increases defense by 150 points, with a mana conversion rate of 5 points. The shield's break time is 30 minutes."

"Tip: Affected by unknown factors, [Body Shield] grants +300 points of defense per level of mental power, 10 points of mana conversion rate, and a 30-minute buffer time for the shield to break."

"really!"

Su Yu's eyes lit up, and the joy in her heart was beyond words:
"My cheat code not only increases experience but also Taoism skills. It's awesome."

"continue!"

His eyes fell on Taoism, and he once again invested the practice points and Taoism accumulated in the experience pool into Taoism, improving it step by step.

Every time you ascend a level, a warm current will be generated in your body.

Every time the warm current circulates through a circle, the magic power will increase a little.

As the magic power accumulates layer by layer, it continues to increase.

"Hint: The Purple Element Qi Refining Technique has been upgraded to the fifth level, giving rise to the Daoist technique [Flying with Controlled Qi]. Using mana to control the Qi, you can soar into the air. The base altitude is 100 meters, and each level of the technique increases the altitude by 20 meters. The base speed is 80 kilometers per hour, and each level of the technique increases the altitude by 10 kilometers per hour. The mana consumption is 5 points per second."

"Hint: Affected by unknown factors, [Air Control] base altitude is 200 meters, each level of mental skill increases altitude by 40 meters, base speed is 160 kilometers per hour, each level of mental skill increases altitude by 20 kilometers per hour, and mana consumption per second is 5 points."

"Finally I can fly."

Su Yu's mind moved, and he felt an invisible force wrapping him up and slowly floating up from the ground.

At first, it floated crookedly and unsteadily, but as he adjusted the angle with his mind, he soon settled steadily in the air.

As soon as he thought about it, he moved forward, and as soon as he stopped thinking, he stopped in the air.

His mind moved again and he flew backwards, moving up and down as his mind moved. It was very flexible and not at all as unfamiliar as he had imagined.

"Hey, it's not as hard to master as the teacher said!"

"Do I have some talent in this area?"

After trying for a while and consuming a lot of mana, Su Yu slowly fell down, took a short rest, and continued to improve his cultivation.

Another wave of cultivation points were invested in Taoism, transformed into magic power, and slowly promoted the level of mental skills.

This is the abnormal aspect of the data-based laws of the other side. As long as there are enough practice points and Taoism, one can continuously improve his cultivation. This is absolutely impossible to do in a normal practice world.

"Hint: The Purple Yuan Qi Refining Art has been upgraded to the tenth level, giving rise to the Taoist technique [Purple Yuan Qi Jin]. Use mana to condense a Qi Jin to defend against the enemy. The basic damage is 100% of the basic magic damage of the Qi Refining Art. The attack range increases by 20 meters for each level of the technique. The mana consumption is 120 points and the cooldown time is 15 seconds."

"Tip: Due to unknown factors, the base damage of [Purple Vitality] is 200% of the basic spell damage of the Qi Refining Technique. The attack range increases by 40 meters for each level of the mind technique. The mana consumption is 120 points and the cooldown time is 15 seconds."

Su Yu consumed 66 cultivation points and 20 points of Taoism in one breath, and upgraded the Ziyuan Qi Refining Art to the tenth level.

It increases a total of 400 health, 800 mana, and 400 spell power, and restores 2 points of mana per second. Ten levels are equivalent to the twenty-level attribute bonus of a new member of the Qianyu Guild during the same period.

There are still quite a lot of training points left, 254 million, but the Taoism level is only 13 points.

However, he did not continue to improve, but shifted his focus to another solution to the Fire Element.

This improvement is simple. With an investment of 10000 training points and 1 point of Taoism, a Taoist priest condensed from flames will appear in his mind, spitting out fire lotuses from his mouth. In a state where he is neither awake nor fully aware, and neither understands nor comprehends, some experience about fire spells is infused into his mind.

When the strange vision in his mind disappeared, Su Yu opened his eyes and saw that a basic fire spell had been derived on the panel - Fireball.

"continue!"

Half an hour later, a total of 33 cultivation points and 10 points of Taoism were consumed to upgrade the Fire Element True Solution to the tenth level.

It should have increased the power of fire spells by 10% and the casting distance by 50%, but after the cheat code, it became a 20% increase in the power of fire spells and a 100% increase in the casting distance.

In addition to this, several fire spells have also been derived.

A layer of derived fireball.

Three-layer derivative firewall.

Five-layer derivative fire shield.

The tenth level generates a rain of fire.

He stretched out his right hand, spread out his five fingers, and the tiny streams of flame gathered into a ball of flame hanging in the palm of his hand.

This is not any magic spell, but a flame condensed by magic power based on the theoretical experience of fire spells obtained from the tenth level of Fire Element True Solution.

It's not very powerful, it can only be used to light a fire.

He contemplated it for a moment, then reached out and extinguished the fireball. This wasn't the right place; a warship wasn't a suitable place to test magic. He could only wait until tomorrow.

As for now, he walked out of the cabin and saw the sun setting and the warship returning.

Although the waters they are in now seem endless, it is not the sea, but the Yuan River, one of the three major rivers on the Blue Mountain Island where he is now.

The Yuan River originates from the west of Lanshan Island and winds for more than 80 million kilometers in the center of the island. It has more than 4,000 tributaries of various sizes, flowing eastward into the sea.

The narrowest part of the Yuan River is located in Longlu Gorge upstream, and the river is more than 500 kilometers wide.

The widest part is located at the downstream estuary, and the river is tens of thousands of kilometers wide.

The Qianyu Guild's headquarters is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yuan River. The river is nearly 3,000 kilometers wide, as broad as the sea. The wind blows up layers of waves that rush towards the shore.

Through the clear river water, you can occasionally see dark shadows swimming by the clear water, various large and small fish monsters, crab monsters, shrimp monsters, various aquatic insects and other aquatic monsters.

Influenced by the laws of nature in the other side, the entire other side is filled with all kinds of monsters. They are endless to kill and constantly refresh.

Players who have awakened the body of data law can gain killing experience by killing these monsters. Killing the best among them, that is, the BOSS, can gain Taoism and spoils. These ubiquitous monsters have become a resource that can be infinitely regenerated.

Some densely populated monster spawning points or places where BOSSes can be refreshed have become resource points that many guild teams must fight for.

As the warship sailed down the river, from time to time, we could see many players forming teams not far from the shore, killing the aquatic monsters in the river.

Most of them fly in the air, while some with strong capital ride on some exquisite flying boats or flying mounts, suspended in the air dozens of meters above the river, using flying swords and various magic weapons to kill the monsters in the water and accumulate killing experience.

After sailing for about half an hour, the giant ship passed a small hill protruding from the river bank, and the view suddenly opened up.

On the other side of the hill is a tributary of the Yuan River, named Chensha River, which flows into the Yuan River here. On the other side of the mouth of the Chensha River, which is more than 300 kilometers wide, there is a huge city covering hundreds of square kilometers. The city is surrounded by stone walls hundreds of meters high, with thunder and fire towers standing on them. In the center of the city, there is an extremely thick beam of light rising into the sky.

This is Qianyu City, the headquarters of the Qianyu Guild. It is located east of the confluence of Chensha River and Yuanjiang River, and is backed by one of the branches of the Taihu Mountains to the north.

The city is surrounded by water on the southwest and mountains on the northeast, and the only way in and out is by water or by air.

There is a large dock on each side of the city facing the water. The side close to Chensha River is a civilian dock, where ships privately owned by legion members or small and medium-sized player teams active in Qianyu City dock. The other side close to Yuanjiang River is a military dock, where all the guild's large military warships are moored.

The giant wooden divine ship slowly moored at the shore, and many newcomers either controlled the air or used various flying instruments to soar into the sky and fly towards the city.

Su Yu also took out an exquisite paper crane and blew out a breath of spiritual energy. The paper crane quickly grew larger and turned into a paper crane with a wingspan of about three meters.

He jumped onto the crane and sat on the saddle. With a thought, the paper crane slowly rose and flew into the air.

Paper Crane (Level 1): A wooden flying crane that can fly.

Size: Wingspan 3 meters, can accommodate 1 person.

Attributes: Durability 200.

Attributes: Flight altitude 100 meters, flight speed: 50 kilometers per hour.

As the lowest-level flying magic weapon, the paper crane costs 500 coins. It is cheap and practical, and is most suitable for newcomers with ordinary family background like Su Yu.

The paper crane slowly rose into the sky, and he could see magic sword lights flying everywhere in the air. From time to time, he could see large flying boats flying in from afar or flying out of the city. His paper crane moved slowly among them, like a turtle crawling.

Slowly walking across the hundreds-meter-high city wall and entering the city, a huge city combining modern and ancient styles comes into view.

The city has a standard cross structure, with two main streets intersecting in the center. There is a huge square in the center, with shops on both sides facing the street. There are advertising signs everywhere, and the sounds of merchants hawking their wares are endless. The commercial area is no worse than the commercial district of a modern prosperous city.

The streets are bustling with people, and everywhere there are monks wearing Taoist robes and various strange ancient costumes, but everyone prefers to call them players.

They either soar through the sky in flying boats, or drive all kinds of strange flying magic weapons, or ride on all kinds of rare birds and beasts. Even if they have nothing, they still walk through the air with their sleeves fluttering.

"The Fengyu Tower Studio is recruiting new members. Requirements include a 15-point or higher aptitude and comprehension level. Signing a contract will guarantee 5 million cultivation points and 50 points of Daoist cultivation. Also included are an intermediate Qi Refining Heart Method and the True Interpretation of the Five Elements Spell. For the first three months, the monthly salary is 2 gold, including food and accommodation. After three months, the monthly salary is 500 gold, with commissions."

"The leveling team is recruiting 3 temporary teammates. Requirements: Basic Qi Refining Technique 20th level or above, and magic weapon of level 3 or above. The spoils will be auctioned internally."

"Training a new player, riding the entire way, 1 gold for 10 experience points, or 1 gold for 10 points of Taoism."

"Yunhai Pavilion accepts custom orders for high-quality flying swords below level five. Any boss needs a private chat."

"Qianyu Pavilion Announcement: Due to unexpected circumstances, our monthly auction will be temporarily postponed to 2:00 PM on the first day of the following month. We welcome new and old customers to visit."

The regional channel was very lively. Su Yu sat on a paper crane and flew slowly, checking the information that was sliding across the channel like a screen.

The Qianyu Guild is considered an old guild, having been established for more than 180 years. According to official statistics, there are about 45800 formal members and more than 300,000 affiliated members. There are nearly one million players of all sizes active in the surrounding area, using Qianyu City as a supply base.

With such strength, it is already considered a medium-sized force in the Blue Mountain Islands.

The huge population has given rise to a prosperous economy, where almost all resources related to cultivation can be purchased.

The paper crane entered the city and flew slowly towards the north. In this area, there were densely packed high-rise buildings, and each floor had many large balconies more than ten meters wide, which were large enough to accommodate small flying boats.

The paper crane flew across the floors and stopped on a balcony in the middle of one of the buildings.

This is the residential area for guild members. As an official member of the guild, he was allocated a large flat of more than 300 square meters.

Qianyu City covers an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers, and the guild members are less than 50,000, so the living space is more than enough.

The house was empty, the floor was as smooth as a mirror, and there were complex spiritual patterns underneath. Su Yu lay down on the sofa, the ground was slightly lit, and a faint spiritual mist rose from the floor and gathered towards him.

He closed his eyes and rested, not paying attention to the spiritual energy slowly flowing into his body.

There is a super-large magic circle covering hundreds of square kilometers under the guild headquarters. It can draw the essence of the earth veins as energy for the city defense formation. In peacetime when there is no war, the excess energy will be distributed to guild members as basic welfare.

You can stay here and do nothing, and you will gain practice points continuously.

It takes about an hour and a little over a hundred yuan.

It's not much, but it's extra income.

Su Yu closed his eyes and rested for about an incense stick, then opened his eyes and turned on the regional channel.

First, I found a merchant and ordered a river seafood meal, which only cost 20 cents.

In the other world, the currency is gold, silver and copper, but not ordinary gold, silver and copper. Instead, copper coins are made from refined copper. Silver star iron replaces silver, and golden refined gold replaces gold. These are the raw materials for refining flying swords and magic weapons, and their value can be used as currency.

1 tael of gold is equivalent to 100 taels of silver.

1 tael of silver is equivalent to 1000 coppers, or 1,000 wen.
