Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 242 Tianyingxian Mansion
P.S.: Guys, I'm asking for your monthly votes at the end of the month, they'll expire if you don't vote now!

These servants are all spirit puppets, part of the temple's facilities, and can maintain the temple as good as new even after thousands or tens of thousands of years.

All the buildings, spiritual fields, and medicinal fields on Tianying Island were left by the previous island lord. They can be used directly or demolished and rebuilt.

Su Yu certainly wouldn't demolish and rebuild it; that would be too wasteful.

Holding the Heavenly Hero Immortal Talisman, Su Yu parted the great formation and entered the Daoist temple. Immediately, spirit puppets came to pay their respects. With the talisman in hand, Su Yu successfully gained control of these spirit puppets and then took over the entire Daoist temple.

When he fully took over the dojo, he soon discovered a great surprise.

This temple has been unclaimed for over a thousand years, and has been automatically maintained and operated for a thousand years. Every year, it harvests a batch of spiritual grains and herbs. Now, the warehouse is piled up with a huge amount of spiritual herbs, including a large number of extremely precious thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.

Preliminary estimates suggest that the total value of the medicinal herbs in the warehouse alone is four to five hundred thousand taels of gold.

"Wow, this is a pleasant surprise."

He had complete control over these inventories and did not need to hand them over to the sect.

In addition, there are ten spiritual vein nodes in the dojo, one large and nine small. The central core spiritual vein can accumulate up to 3 million spiritual energy experience and 100 points of cultivation every day.

Yes, this was the first time Su Yu had ever seen someone gain Dao cultivation through spiritual vein cultivation. Based on this alone, this Daoist temple was far superior to Thousand Star Cave Heaven.

This means that one can cultivate here without leaving the area, continuously gaining cultivation points and spiritual power to improve their strength.

Each of the nine small spiritual vein nodes can accumulate 1 million spiritual energy experience points and 20 points of cultivation every day.

In addition, the spiritual energy on the entire Daoist Immortal Island is extremely rich. Cultivating anywhere outside, one can refine nearly ten million spiritual energy experiences every day, but without gaining any Dao cultivation.

However, the island's spiritual energy is limited and cannot accommodate too many cultivators practicing in the temple.

As a Daoist disciple and the master of the Tianying Daoist Temple, Su Yu can choose to invite up to nine cultivators to practice within the temple.

He already had an idea in mind.

After spending half a day in the temple, Su Yu took out the Heavenly Hero Immortal Talisman. With a thought, a spatial ripple spread out, and the others disappeared like bubbles.

Heavenly Hero Immortal Talisman (Ninth Rank): A rare treasure, an exclusive token of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect's Daoist disciples (soul-bound).

Daoist Privileges: This item is the identity certificate of a Daoist and the control core of the Tianying Daoist Temple. Holding it allows one to freely enter and exit the Xuanzhen Cave Heaven and the Tianying Daoist Temple, and to freely teleport within the sect. With this token, one can freely enter and exit important areas of the sect.

Possessing this item grants 10 sect contribution points, 3 minor merits, 1 major merit, and 1 immortal merit every hundred years.

Monitoring and assessment authority: This talisman can view a disciple's cultivation, record a disciple's virtue, admit a disciple into the sect, and expel a sinful disciple from the sect.

Celestial Protection: The talisman contains a trace of celestial power. When the Daoist dies, the ancestral master's celestial power protects the primordial spirit and sends it back to the sect to reassemble the physical body. After the celestial power is consumed, the talisman must be offered to the ancestral hall for a month before the celestial power can be reassembled.

The Great Teleportation: Consumes 10 mana to activate the talisman, teleporting you to any place you have ever been after 10 seconds, with no distance limit. Cooldown time is one year.

Sub-talisman: Up to nine sub-talismans can be distributed to others. Holding a sub-talisman grants the holder the authority to enter and exit the dojo and the authority to teleport within the sect.

Daozi's many privileges are implemented through this immortal talisman. This treasure is soul-bound, so others cannot use it, nor will it be lost.

Su Yu was teleported directly to Fengyun Dao Academy on Xuankong Mountain. His two senior brothers and sisters were there, but his master was not. When he asked, he was speechless.

"Master has been very busy these past few days, going out for drinks every day."

Su Yu pinched the bridge of her nose and sent a message to her master:
"Master, I have something important to discuss with you. Please return immediately."

Less than three seconds after the message was sent, Jin Yinian's voice rang out from behind:

"What do you need me for?"

Then a figure landed at the doorway and strode in.

Seeing his apprentice's smiling face, Jin Yinian patted him on the shoulder and said:

“Disciple, you are more advantageous than I imagined. Now that you have transcended the tribulation and established your Dao foundation, you can be considered to have graduated. However, if you have any questions in the future, you can come to me at any time.”

Su Yu was speechless. Sometimes, this kind of easy victory is indeed quite enviable, jealous, and hateful.

Others have to put in a lot of effort and resources to get their apprentices to succeed, but he did it so easy; his apprentices succeeded on their own with almost no effort.

But luck is something you can't really explain; you can only say you're lucky.

Su Yu didn't say much, but simply waved her hand, and the space shifted, with the four of them appearing simultaneously on Tianying Island in Xuanzhen Cave. They were all astonished as they felt the rich spiritual energy in the void and the scenery of the island.

"Disciple, where is this?"

“Xuanzhen Cave Heaven, Tianying Daoist Temple”.

"Mysterious Cave Heaven? How could you bring us here?!"

Jin Yinian realized what was happening, and a look of shock appeared on her face:

"Disciple, you've become a disciple of this sect? You previously built a superior-grade immortal foundation?"

Shi Chunan and Jin Qianyue were equally shocked, their mouths agape.

Su Yu nodded and said:
"This disciple has indeed established an immortal foundation and has offered sacrifices to the ancestral master to become a disciple of this sect. He has bestowed Tianying Immortal Island as my Daoist temple. However, I usually spend most of my time cultivating outside, and the Daoist temple needs someone to manage it. Please ask Master, senior brothers and sisters to cultivate here while helping me manage the Daoist temple."

"no problem!"

Jin Yinian emerged from the palace, surveyed the entire fairy island, and laughed heartily:

"Don't worry, my disciple, I will take good care of the house for you."

Third Senior Brother Shi Chunan also said with a serious expression:

"Don't worry, junior brother, I'll take good care of you."

Su Yu smiled and nodded, saying:
"The temple will remain largely unchanged. We'll just replace the medicinal herbs in the herb field with some more valuable ones. The main focus will still be on cultivation. I hope you'll be able to overcome your tribulation when you return next time."

Shi Chunan nodded vigorously, feeling a warm feeling in his heart.

He treated his junior brother with sincerity back then, and now he has received rewards beyond his wildest imagination.

With the continuous support of cultivation points and spiritual power within this dojo, one can cultivate more Taoist techniques and secret methods to increase one's accumulation. After accumulating here for ten or twenty years, one day one will be able to accumulate enough to be confident enough to transcend tribulations.

After making arrangements with several senior students, Su Yu instructed them not to spread the word.

His senior brothers and sisters are fine, but he's afraid that his master's big mouth will spread the word everywhere.

Of course, this cannot be completely hidden. Over time, the senior disciples of the sect will all find out, but as long as it doesn't become a big deal, it's fine.

After dealing with her sect, Su Yu went to her second brother, second sister-in-law, and Chu Xinyue again to tell them the same news.

The second brother was overjoyed upon hearing this:
"I never imagined that your talent and potential were so terrifying, little brother. You have a super-grade immortal foundation, and you are destined to become an earth immortal in the future. There is also a great hope for you to become a celestial immortal. Is it possible for my Su family to become an immortal family?"

The second sister-in-law seemed much calmer, but it was only on the surface; her excitement was barely concealed.

As for Chu Xinyue, she was indeed calm. Su Yu looked at her, and she said softly:

"Congratulations!"

Su Yu nodded with a smile, took out a Heavenly Hero Immortal Talisman and handed it to Chu Xinyue, saying:
"Senior sister has helped me a lot, and you deserve a share of this honor. You may come to the temple to cultivate at any time in the future."

Chu Xinyue nodded and did not refuse.

The Immortal Talisman only has the function of teleportation within the sect and control over the spirit puppets within the dojo. It does not have the authority to monitor disciples or the authority of Dao children. This thing can be divided into a maximum of nine, with one for the master and one for each of the senior brothers and sisters. Su Yu has assigned each of them a divided spirit eye, and of course, the main spirit eye cannot be divided out.

Above the core spiritual eye of the main hall, the two stood facing each other, each cultivating. A panel popped up in front of Su Yu's eyes, displaying the sect's treasure vault exchange list.

He currently possesses 10 major merits and 1 immortal merit, which won't produce offspring if left unused, so of course he needs to use them to enhance his strength.

After achieving the status of a Loose Immortal, a cultivator's overall strength will undergo a qualitative change.

Not to mention the Dao foundation formed by his cultivation, after the Foundation Establishment, all Dao techniques can break through the limits.

For example, the Heavenly Ghost Transformation Technique could originally only be upgraded to level 100 and could not be upgraded any further, but now it can be further promoted to the Dao Foundation level Heavenly Ghost Transformation Technique.

The Gengjin Sword Fiend and the Hundred-Eyed Divine Light are also options, but the Hundred-Eyed Divine Light is currently only at level 30; it needs to be upgraded to level 100 before it can be advanced.

In addition, Su Yu also plans to learn a body-refining technique.

With his Nine Heavens Battle Immortal Body as his foundation, his blood and physique are stronger than those of a BOSS of the same level. Wouldn't it be a waste of his combat power if he didn't cultivate a body-refining method as well?
In addition, all his Taoist and sword techniques derived from Qi Refining methods and sword manuals improved as he established his foundation.
