Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 232 Eighth-Order Azure Cloud Canopy, Exchange for Heavenly Punishment Warship Blueprints

In addition, the power of all derivative techniques of the mental cultivation method also increases accordingly, reaching the power of the supreme mental cultivation method.

Both the Primordial Chaos Myriad Transformations Divine Thunder and the Primordial Chaos Myriad Transformations Divine Thunder Net have been upgraded from the Sect-Supreme level to the Supreme level, and their power has also reached the Supreme level of thunder magic.

The Xuan Ting Spiritual Light Escape Technique has also been upgraded from the Sect-Supreme level to the Supreme level, and its power has been upgraded accordingly.

"call!"

With the Qi Refining Technique completed and upgraded to the Supreme Rank, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Next, he only needed to do one thing: upgrade his main Dao Technique to the 100th level, condense the Battle Immortal Body, and then he could begin his tribulation.

This is purely a matter of time and effort. Su Yu estimated that it would take at least a year, and at the slowest, no more than two years.

The water-grinding process is a minor issue; just take your time.

After closing the panel, Su Yu looked around at other things.

There are still 19 laws of power remaining, which is still manageable.
Su Yu pondered for a moment, then took out the Azure Cloud Canopy.

Without hesitation, he decisively infused the Azure Cloud Canopy with streams of law power. As the magic treasure absorbed the law power, the Azure Cloud began to boil and expand, with patches of auspicious clouds constantly flying out from it.

A sliver of the power of the laws.

The power of the two-point law.

With five points of law power, the Azure Cloud Canopy had already surpassed the limit of a seventh-tier magic weapon, but its grade was not displayed.

"continue!"

The power of the tenth law was integrated, but the magic weapon remained unchanged.

In one breath, fifteen laws of power were integrated into the magic weapon. The boiling Azure Cloud Canopy rapidly contracted inward until it condensed into a surging azure cloud. Su Yu immediately looked at the magic weapon and her eyes lit up.

Azure Cloud Canopy (Eighth Tier): A rare and precious defensive magic weapon. When activated, azure clouds surge forth, protecting the body from the five elements and all kinds of magic.

Attributes: 100 million defense, 60% damage reduction, 600% mana conversion rate, +5000 defense strength, additional characteristics: Isolation from the five elements, impervious to all magic, auspicious cloud protection, true dragon scales.

Isolate the Five Elements: Activating the Azure Cloud Canopy can isolate the power of the five elements.

Unaffected by All Laws: The power of Qingyun is unaffected by all laws, able to shield oneself from all worldly laws.

Auspicious Cloud Protection: Activate the Azure Cloud Canopy to protect the body, granting eight times the defensive power of a magic weapon, reducing damage by 75%, lasting for 5 minutes, with a 24-hour cooldown.

True Dragon Scale: Grants 10% damage reduction to the defensive treasure and 5000 points of defense strength.

"What a wonderful magic weapon."

With its defenses maxed out and additional attributes enhanced, coupled with some cannon fodder magic weapons, Su Yu was full of confidence for the tribulation that would occur in at most two years.

After upgrading the Azure Cloud Canopy, there were still 4 Law Powers remaining, which could be used to slightly enhance it, but Su Yu felt it was unnecessary and decided to save them for later when she had more power.

Emerging from the cave, Su Yu pondered for a moment, then opened the Taixu Divine Network and connected to the military channel to search for warship blueprints.

My original intention was to exchange for a super battleship blueprint to take back to the guild for construction. As the overlord of Ten Thousand Poisons Island, it would be too unrefined of us not to have a single super battleship yet.

However, when he opened the panel to view the numerous blueprints, the sheer number of them dazzled him.

Sky Strike Battleship (Tier 7): A floating immortal ship, 3000 meters long, with nine floors. It can be equipped with resurrection arrays, mid-range teleportation arrays, and up to 5000 Divine Thunder Towers. It also has one Sky Strike main cannon. The blueprint requires 10000 merit points and 1 major merit point to exchange for.

Heavenly Punishment Warship (Tier 8): A floating immortal ship, 6000 meters long, with 18 floors. It can deploy large-scale resurrection arrays and long-range teleportation arrays. It can deploy up to 30000 Divine Thunder Towers, 4 Heavenly Strike Main Cannons, and 1 Heavenly Punishment Main Cannon. The blueprint requires 30000 merit points and 3 major merit points to exchange.

Sky Base Fortress (Tier 9): Void Fortress, 30 km in diameter, super combat fortress. The blueprint requires 150,000 merit points and 1 Heavenly Merit to exchange.

He didn't look at the ordinary ones, but only at the many top-tier warships.

The Heavenly God Society's Heavenly Strike Warship is available here. It's not only available, but it's also a standard military warship with no exchange restrictions, as long as you have enough merits and a rank of sergeant or higher.

The Heavenly Punishment Warship is a higher-tier warship than the Heavenly Strike Warship. It requires 30000 merit points and three major merits, but requires a rank of lieutenant or above.

The Tianji Fortress is the vehicle of Major General Han Zhuofei, which can only be redeemed by military officers of the rank of colonel or above.

After a moment's thought, Su Yu spent a full 40000 merit points and 4 major merit points to exchange for a Sky Strike Battleship blueprint and a Sky Punishment Battleship blueprint.

I spent another 5000 merit points and 1 minor merit point to exchange for a Great Teleportation Talisman that can directly teleport me to Longwan City.

After receiving the blueprints, Su Yu and Han Zhuofei greeted Cheng Shayu, took off, and left the Falling Star Islands, heading straight for Blue Mountain Island.

A month later, Su Yu returned to Wan Du Island.

He summoned Gu Zhiqi and handed him two blueprints.

Gu Zhiqi took the blueprints and was stunned upon seeing them:

"Holy crap, blueprints for a Tier 9 warship? Where did you get these, boss?"

Su Yu waved her hand and said:
"Never mind where I got it, just tell me if you can build it?"

Gu Zhi Qiu carefully examined the building material requirements and smiled:

"The Sky Strike Battleship can be built right now; we have the keel in our guild's warehouse."

"But the Heavenly Punishment Warship is a bit difficult to obtain. A keel of six to ten kilometers in length is not common, and it may not be possible to buy one."

Su Yu didn't focus on that question, but instead asked about other aspects:

"Let's ignore the dragon bones for now. Do we have enough of the other materials?"

"Of course it's enough!"

Gu Zhiqiu smiled and said:
“Boss, you’re not often in the guild, so you might not know how much resources a dominant guild that controls a region can access. Our Thousand Star Palace dominates Ten Thousand Poison Island, and our influence now extends to hundreds of thousands of kilometers of sea beyond the island’s coast. The resources we collect every month are beyond your imagination.” “Two warships are nothing. If we wanted, we could build ten at once with enough materials.”

"Well, excluding the dragon bone, there are indeed too few skeletons with such a long length."

"That's it."

Su Yu pinched her chin, and couldn't help but recall the sea serpent king, which was over two hundred levels high, that she had encountered in the sea area where the Flying Star Islands and Ten Thousand Poisons Island met.

"Let's find an opportunity to kill this big boss, collect the dragon bones, and gain some cultivation along the way."

"Then I would go out every month to hunt down some big bosses, killing three birds with one stone."

He nodded, looked up at Gu Zhi Qiu, and said:

"You should first prepare the resources to build the Sky Strike Battleship, and prepare the materials for the Sky Punishment Battleship. We'll build it once we've collected the keel. Also, keep an eye out outside and keep an eye on the keel that can be used to build the Sky Strike Battleship."

"no problem."

"Also, spread the word that everyone in the guild can participate in the large-scale guild event in a week."

Gu Zhi Qiu hesitated for a moment, then asked:

"Can both the second and third regiments participate?"

"Not just them, all independent battalions can participate."

"So big?"

Su Yu smiled and said:

"As the guild leader, I've been away from home most of the guild members. I probably haven't even seen me. Now that I've finished my business outside, and I won't be traveling for the next year or two, I'll take this opportunity to catch up on the guild's development."

Gu Zhi Qiu's eyes lit up, and he asked:

"Boss, are you about to undergo a tribulation?"

"Yes, everything else is ready. We just need to accumulate a little more before we can prepare to trigger the Heavenly Tribulation."

At this point, he suddenly thought of something and asked:

"By the way, didn't Qi Dongyang say he was going to undergo a tribulation last time? Did he succeed?"

"Success! Fifth-grade Dao Foundation."

"Sure, it's a mid-grade Dao Foundation."

Although a fifth-grade Dao Foundation offers no hope of becoming an Immortal, it does offer a chance to become an Earth Immortal, making it an excellent Dao Foundation for players who are not from top-tier sects.

Su Yu then chatted with Gu Zhi Qiu for a while, and after he left, she opened the guild channel to learn more about the current situation of the guild.

First, the total number of members in the Thousand Stars Club is currently around 50.

The three main regiments remain unchanged, but the number of personnel in each regiment is not fixed. Su Yu's main regiment has 8 men, while Chu Xinyue's main regiment and her second brother's main regiment each have only 5 men, totaling 18 men.

Of the remaining 32 people, 12 are non-combat personnel, such as those in logistics and various other occupations.

The remaining 20 people were divided into 40 brigades, with 5 people in each brigade.

In addition, the guild has at least two to three million peripheral members, which can be gathered immediately whenever the guild recruits.

They don't have affiliated teams, but they do have affiliations with various chambers of commerce and studios to boost the economy and increase revenue.

After learning all this, Su Yu looked at the guild income item.

First, there's the Gu insect resource on Wan Du Island. With the guild completely unifying Wan Du Island and integrating all the poisonous Gu insect resources on the island, the monthly income from this alone has increased from the initial 5 gold to the current 12 gold.

然后是3大7中16小共26个大小蛊渊，每个月总收入还是6万金没变。

Mining income has increased dramatically since the guild fully unified Wan Du Island and the surrounding tens of thousands of kilometers of sea. When it was first unified, the monthly mining income was 8 gold, but now it has skyrocketed to 25 gold, more than tripling.

The income from the spiritual fields and medicinal resources has also increased significantly as the island's more than 100,000 kilometers of sea area has been expanded and the medicinal resources produced in the cave have begun to be sold for money. The monthly income used to be only 20,000 gold, but now it has risen to 80,000 gold.

In total, the revenue from resources within the territory alone amounts to 51 gold per month.

In addition to resources, there are three cities that collect taxes. With all the guild cities of all sizes on the island and the surrounding small islands being cleared, players from the entire Wan Du Island and the surrounding hundreds of thousands of kilometers of sea can only trade on Wan Du Island, making commerce several times more developed than before.

Even with the tax rate lowered, total revenue still saw a significant increase.

The monthly tax was originally 44 gold, but now it is 66 gold, an increase of 50%.

Then there's the rent for shops and houses in various cities, which was originally 12 gold, but has now risen to 16 gold.

The income from the guilds' own businesses in the city, including income from the guilds' directly affiliated chambers of commerce, has increased from 30 gold to 55 gold per month.

In total, the income from this aspect is 137 million gold.

Combined, the guild's total monthly income is 188 million gold, of which 75 gold is spent on daily expenses, including various rewards, guild activity expenses, maintenance of cities and resource points, warship maintenance fees, guild rewards, salaries of officers and important professions, etc.

All things considered, under normal circumstances, the guild's net income is 113 million gold per month.

It is worth noting that this net income refers to the estimated value of all income, not just pure cash.

A large portion of the income comes from mineral deposits, medicinal herbs, poisonous insects, various flying swords and magical treasures, etc. The real pure cash income is usually from taxes, which accounts for about half of the total income. That's still more than 500,000 in cash, which is already quite good.
