Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 21: Flying Sword Covering the Sun, Taibai Sword Scripture

As he expected, after Xu Bochen, people from the guild's independent squadrons contacted Su Yu one after another, offering various benefits to recruit him, but none of them could compare to Xu Bochen's.

Until the main group contacted him.

However, it wasn't President Ding Hao who contacted him, but a squadron leader from the main regiment:

"Little brother, if you join a group, you will receive a sixth-level magic weapon, a high-level sword technique, 20 taels of gold, and become an elite member by the end of the year. When your cultivation reaches level 50 or above, you will be guaranteed the position of team leader."

"Well."

The conditions are not much different from those of Santuan, but the sincerity is not as strong as that of Santuan.

One was recruited by the deputy regiment commander himself, and the other was just a squadron leader. Su Yu already had a preference in his heart.

"in addition."

The other side continued:

"The leader of my group is a Loose Immortal. If you come here, you will have a free place to listen to the teachings every month for five years."

"Ok?"

Su Yu paused in thought, hesitated for a moment and replied:

"Please allow me to think about it and give you an answer by tomorrow evening."

"can."

After closing the communication, Su Yu pinched his brows:

"This is better than the three groups."

“But there aren’t many good ones.”

"Never mind, let's talk about it tomorrow. If the second group doesn't come, we'll choose one from the first and third groups."

Rubbing his face gently, Su Yu put the matter aside and prepared to go to bed.

The moon was dark and the stars were sparse, and there was no conversation all night.

Early the next morning, Su Yu saw a new message and opened it to check:

"Brother Su, I'm Fang Yuan from the First Battalion of the Second Regiment. I wonder if you have time to speak to me?"

Su Yu washed her face and asked directly:

"I wonder what the treatment of the Second Regiment is like?"

Fang Yuan paused for a moment, then explained his treatment:
"A sixth-level flying sword, a high-level sword technique, 20 gold, and I guarantee you'll be promoted to an elite member by the end of the year. Once you reach level 50 or above, I'll guarantee you the position of team leader."

There is not much difference between the first and third groups, so it should be discussed beforehand.

After all, if there are no restrictions, everyone will engage in aggressive bidding and they will be the ones who suffer.

"Besides, our Deputy Captain Chu is an inner disciple of Xuanzhen Immortal Sect. He has a quota for joining the Immortal Sect. I can guarantee that you will be accepted into Xuanzhen Immortal Sect in one year."

"This"

Su Yu shook his head and said:
"This is useless to me. I can join the immortal sect with my own ability."

"That's wrong. I joined the Immortal Sect as an outer disciple, and Deputy Captain Chu is an inner disciple. He has a master in the Immortal Sect, and with her help, he can directly become a formal disciple."

Su Yu's heart moved, and he immediately asked:

"Can you guarantee that I will become a formal disciple?"

"It's guaranteed!"

"Can you represent Deputy Captain Chu?"

The other party paused for a moment, then replied after a while:
"If you have time, come to Qingxin Tea House. Deputy Captain Chu wants to see you."

"Okay, I'll come right away."

After shutting down the communication, Su Yu smacked his lips in surprise:
"If that's the case, then it's the Second Regiment."

Normally, one would join the immortal sect as an outer disciple, unless one had extraordinary talent and was noticed by the big boss inside the sect and accepted as a disciple.

His talent is definitely not amazing, and it certainly doesn't meet the standards for a big boss in the immortal sect to directly accept him as a disciple.

If an outer disciple wants to become a formal disciple of the immortal sect, he needs to undergo at least three years of observation and then pass an assessment before he can become a formal disciple.

The three-year probation period is a hard threshold and cannot be avoided without connections.

Outer disciples can only practice the sect's standard Qi-refining mental method, which is of advanced grade. To learn Qi-refining mental methods and various forbidden thunder techniques at or above the exquisite grade, one must become a formal disciple.

Three years of hard work is such a waste of time.

One step faster, every step faster. If you can save three years of effort, you can save more time and energy in the future.

Su Yu had heard of Qingxin Tea House, a high-end tea house in the west of the city.

It is located in a manor within the city, surrounded by gardens and has a quiet environment.

The rose garden was filled with various roses of various colors, vying for beauty. But when he saw the graceful figure standing among the flowers, he suddenly felt that all the roses in the garden were overshadowed.

Behind her stood a pretty girl, who came over when she saw Su Yu:

"Is it Mr. Su Yusu?"

"Yes."

"please!"

There is a pavilion in the garden with a stone table on which are placed tea and various snacks.

"Mr. Su, please take a seat."

The girl poured out the tea and made new tea. Her movements were smooth and flowing, which was very pleasing to the eye.

"I wonder what your name is, young lady?"

"Chu Xiaoyu!"

"Sister Xiaoyu."

As I was talking, I suddenly felt something looking up, and my eyes suddenly brightened.

Chu Xinyue had already come over, put the kettle aside, and said in a gentle voice:

"Su Yu, your swordsmanship talent is very good. Even among the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, you are considered above average."

The stunning beauty and cool aura that came towards him were dazzling. Su Yu was a little distracted for a moment, but the next moment he came to his senses, took a deep breath to suppress the throbbing in his heart, and asked calmly:
"Only above average?"

The girl beside him explained in a crisp voice:
"Mr. Su, you don't know that Xuanzhen Immortal Sect is one of the top immortal sects on Blue Mountain Island, with influence radiating over 100 million square kilometers. Every year, tens of millions of newcomers seek to become its disciples, but among them, only a dozen or so can be considered to have top-notch swordsmanship talent. Among those who are above average, it is considered very good."

"Oh, I see."

Su Yu pursed her lips and continued to ask:
"I heard Captain Fang Yuan say before that Captain Chu can guarantee that I can directly join the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect. Is that true?"

Chu Xinyue nodded, her voice gentle:

"My master is the elder of the Qionghua Peak of the Immortal Sect. He can directly accept you as a disciple of Qionghua Peak."

"But there is one thing I need to tell you in advance. My Qionghua Peak is not good at swordsmanship. Although you can transfer to another peak in the future, it will take five years, and this may affect your future growth."

"That's it"

Su Yu hesitated.

After thinking for a while, he asked again:

"I wonder if Qionghua Peak can provide advanced or top-level sword techniques?"

"You can't learn the exclusive top-level sword techniques of other peaks, but our sect has many universal top-level sword techniques that are not weak. It's just that we don't have a dedicated sword master to help you solve your puzzles. You need to use sect contributions to exchange for sword masters from other peaks to give you lessons and solve your puzzles."

"That's no problem."

It doesn’t matter whether he had a teacher in the early days or not. His current level of kendo is also due to self-study.

What he lacks is not a teacher, but opportunities, a platform, and top-level Taoism and sword techniques.

Besides, the teacher’s problem is not a big problem. As long as he performs well enough in the future, there will always be big shots who will take a fancy to him.

The so-called rules only apply to ordinary people. When your talent is strong enough, the rules can be broken at any time.

After the two parties reached an agreement, Chu Xiaoyu took out two copies of the contract. He looked at it carefully and found that it was written on it that he was from the guild's main second regiment, the second battalion. It clearly stated the treatment and obligations, including that he would be taken to the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect and recommended as a formal disciple of the sect one year later.

It was also made clear that if it was not done, there would be a penalty of 500 taels of gold. After reading it and confirming that it was correct, Su Yu signed his name.

There is no need to think about it. Not to mention that their leader is so beautiful and it is pleasing to see her often, her treatment is also the best.

Then Chu Xinyue signed her name and each person received a copy of the contract.

Chu Xinyue put the contract away and asked:
"For basic sword techniques, I have a Demon Refining Sword Manual. There are also two other manuals in the guild, the Taibai Sword Manual and the Huanyue Sword Manual. If you want them, I can help you exchange them."

"I want the Taibai Sword Scripture."

"can."

She glanced at Chu Xiaoyu, and the girl turned and left.

Then Chu Xinyue took out a silver ring with her bare hands and placed it on the table and pushed it over:
"Here are the sixth-rank flying sword and 20 taels of gold. Elite members can only be promoted by the end of the year. No matter what their ranking is at the end of the year, they can be promoted."

Su Yu took the ring and was surprised to find that it was an equipment with 20 storage spaces that could be equipped in the ring slot.

"This ring?"

"It's for you."

"Thank you, Captain."

When he opened the ring, he found 20 taels of gold and a flying sword as crystal clear as jade.

His gaze fell on the flying sword, and its attributes emerged——

Sun-covering Sword (Level 6 Flying Sword): A divine weapon, a top-grade product, a flying sword made from a mixture of sun's refined gold and star iron. When activated, it shines as brightly as the sun across the sky.

Attributes: Attack power 360-460, attack speed 320-360, sword-controlling speed 330-380, basic sword technique bonus 50%, characteristics: armor penetration +3, brilliant transformation.

Armor Break +3: Attacks ignore 30% of the target's defense.

Radiant Transformation: Unleashes a ray of true sun fire within the flying sword, adding 100% extra yang damage, lasting for 15 seconds, with a cooldown of 60 minutes.

Equipment requirements: Basic Qi Refining Mentality Level 40, Basic Sword Technique Level 50.

"Excellent!"

But he couldn't equip it, because his Qi Refining Technique and basic sword techniques were not at the right level.

But he doesn't have to wait too long. With his current growth rate, he will be able to get the equipment in less than two months.

While he was playing with the Sun-Blanking Sword in his hand, Chu Xiaoyu had already returned and handed him a jade slip, which was the Taibai Sword Scripture.

Taibai Sword Manual (Advanced): Basic Xuanmen sword techniques, a total of twenty levels.

Each level increases the flying sword damage by +30, the attack speed by +20, and the sword flying speed by +20 km/h.

Training requirements: 15 points of innate bone, 15 points of innate understanding.

At this time, Chu Xinyue's pleasant voice sounded beside his ears:

"There's something I need to make clear to you."

"The one who signed the contract with you was the Second Battalion of the Second Regiment. It was me, not the Second Regiment."

"???"

Su Yu looked up in surprise, and what he saw was Chu Xinyue's beautiful face, flawless from every angle. He was puzzled.
"It seems the contract says it's the Second Group."

"That's what the contract says, but in reality, I signed you, and all the resources I paid for were paid for myself. It didn't go through the team coffers."

"Is that so?"

"Does that mean I don't have to listen to the captain anymore and only need to listen to you?"

"The Second Regiment has no leader."

"what?"

Chu Xinyue sighed slowly:
"There are some things you don't need to know right now. You're a newcomer, so you don't need to participate in any guild activities in your first year. At the end of the year, you'll go directly to the Immortal Sect to become their disciple. When you return, it'll probably be the third year, and you'll know everything you need to know."

"Ok."

"Practice hard, and strive to raise both your cultivation and sword techniques to above the fiftyth level by the end of the year, and achieve mastery of sword energy and thunder sound."

"Add Xiaoyu as your friend later. You can contact her if you need anything."

"Ah."

After Chu Xinyue said this, she left for something and added him as a friend before leaving.

Then he and Chu Xiaoyu added each other as friends, and he asked curiously:
"Sister Xiaoyu, doesn't our second group have a leader?"

"No."

He asked curiously:
"Could you tell me about the current situation of the Second Regiment?"

"Miss, don't worry about this now."

"I'm just asking about the basic situation of our Second Regiment. I can't possibly be completely clueless after joining the Second Regiment."

"You have to know this."

"The Second Regiment has a total of five battalions, and we are the second battalion. The first captain was your young lady's father, who passed away over ten years ago. The second captain was your young lady's eldest brother, but he failed in his tribulation and died five years ago."

"Logically, the young lady should have taken over the leadership position, but there are objections within the team. Furthermore, the guild leaders have been trying to smooth things over since the young lady returned, dragging the issue of the leadership position on the pretext of a unanimous decision within the team."

After hearing this, Su Yu already had a clear idea of ​​the situation of the Second Regiment and asked:

"Sister Xiaoyu, don't the five battalions of the Second Regiment support the captain now?"

"Except for the five teams formed during Miss Big Brother's tenure to follow orders, the other three teams no longer follow orders."

"I understand."

"You will be a member of the Second Brigade from now on. Miss is usually very busy, so just contact me if you have any questions."

"Ok."

The two chatted for a while, and then Su Yu said goodbye and left.

It is indeed as Fu Ping said, the Second Group is quite complicated, but it is not a big problem. He does not need to be involved in these things for at least two years. After two or three years, he will return from the Immortal Gate. His strength will be different from today, and he will have enough strength to deal with everything.

"Power and truth in this world are all based on strength!"

After returning to his residence, Su Yu took out the Taibai Sword Sutra jade slip and placed it between his eyebrows. A little bit of the jade slip shattered into light and merged into his eyebrows.

The Qingshan Sword Sutra on the opened panel began to distort, and the Taibai Sword Sutra appeared on the side. The level slowly increased, but the level of the Qingshan Sword Sutra was slowly decreasing.

When the forty-level Qingshan Sword Scripture slowly degenerated to the first level and finally turned into a ball of chaos and disappeared, the Taibai Sword Scripture on the other side had become twenty levels, and the upper limit of the sword technique level was thirty levels.

The forty-level Qingshan Sword Sutra was reduced to twenty levels, and the upper limit of sixty levels was reduced to thirty levels, which was exactly cut in half.

A derivative of the first level of Taibai Sword Scripture: Sword Light, which adds a sharp sword light to the flying sword to extend the attack range.

Attributes: Each level of Taibai Sword Sutra increases the sword light by 3 cm.

The fifth level of Taibai Sword Scripture is derived from: Sword Qi, which condenses magic power to cut out sword Qi to hurt the enemy from a distance.

Attributes: Sword Qi has 40% of the maximum attack damage, each level of sword technique +20 meters sword Qi distance, mana consumption is 100 points.

The tenth level of Taibai Sword Scripture is derived from: sword-controlling technique, controlling flying swords, entering and exiting the blue sky.

Attributes: The sword-controlling speed is the flying sword speed + the basic sword technique bonus, each level of sword technique + 40 meters height, and the mana consumption per second is 10 points.

The above are all attributes after the golden finger bonus, and both the power and effect are far superior to the Qingshan Sword Sutra.

Su Yu looked back and forth at the Taibai Sword Scripture, which had been reduced by half, with a smile on his face:
"Not bad!"

"Then I just need to accumulate practice points to upgrade the sword technique level."

After closing the panel, he pondered for a moment, then sent a message to Xu Bochen and the squadron leader of the First Regiment, explaining that he had joined the main Second Regiment.

After a moment of silence, both parties asked in unison:
"Can you tell me about the conditions given by Captain Chu?"

Su Yu answered honestly:

"Captain Chu promised to let me join Xuanzhen Immortal Sect and become a formal disciple, skipping the outer sect disciple position. I can't refuse this condition."

"Well"

"I really can't refuse."
