Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 266 Ao Run, about to undergo the Earth Immortal Tribulation, and his warship equipment.
After cultivating at Tianying Dojo for two months, Su Yu returned to the guild. After taking care of some business, he did not immediately return to the sect, but instead flew towards Feixing Island to buy some things.

On the Sky Escape Shuttle, Su Yu reached into the Zhenhai Realm and pulled out Ao Run, whose entire body was azure blue.

Ao Run, as beautiful as jade, nimbly circled around him and wrapped her arms around his waist, her cool aura penetrating straight to his soul.

He reached out and gently stroked the cool dragon scales. Several months had passed, and Ao Run's level had reached 198, just two levels away from starting his tribulation.

As he gently stroked her, a semi-transparent panel appeared on Ao Run's body, displaying her current attributes:
Blue Jade True Dragon Ao Run (Peerless): Demon King, Level 198, Aquatic Tribe, True Dragon.

Attributes: 2250 million HP, 101 million demon power, 15 attack power, 7500 km/h speed.

Demonic Arts: Water-based arts, Thunder-based arts, Dragon Breath (Cold Tide), True Dragon Bloodline, Gui Water Divine Thunder, Gui Water Divine Thunder Net, Midnight Cold Tide Restriction (Exquisite), Xuanming One Qi Formless Kunzai Thunder Net (Suppressing the Sect), Swallowing Clouds and Spitting Mist, Calling Wind and Rain, Lightning and Thunder, Moving Clouds and Spreading Rain, Overturning Rivers and Seas, Azure Netherworld Divine Breath Technique 198 Layers (Mysterious), Nine Transformations Dragon Scripture 6th Layer (Great Divine Power).

Magic Item: Dragon Ball (Tier 9)

Items: Great Wilderness Dragon Seal (Chi), Great Wilderness Dragon Seal (Xuanming)

Dragon Ball (Rank 9): A rare item, a dragon ball left behind by a true dragon, Ao Run's natal magic weapon.

Dragon Aura Protection: Activates the dragon aura within the Dragon Ball to protect the body, providing 600 million defense, 60% damage reduction, 500% mana conversion rate, and +6000 defense strength. Characteristic: Extremely strong and yang.

True Dragon Strike: Unleashes the Dragon Ball to strike the target, dealing up to 50 + 500% magic damage as physical damage. Casting range is 50 kilometers. Mana cost is 10. Characteristic: Extremely strong and yang.

Extremely strong and yang: The power of the true dragon is extremely strong and yang, capable of blocking most spell effects.

Shatter: The power of the true dragon can shatter everything.

This Dragon Ball is both offensive and defensive, and its power is extremely strong. However, it is not easy to overcome the tribulation of a true dragon on earth with just this Dragon Ball, and the success rate is not very high.

There are two ways to increase the success rate.

One is to upgrade the rank template, from the peerless template to the legendary template, which will improve the attributes in all aspects and naturally increase the success rate of transcending the tribulation.

The second method is to acquire a few more powerful demonic artifacts, which can also increase the success rate of transcending the tribulation.

The former method is simple: just upgrade the Great Divine Power Nine Transformations Dragon Scripture. It's currently at the sixth level; once it reaches the seventh level, it will transform into a legendary template.

This skill, which requires constant practice, is still lacking in experience. Given Ao Run's current cultivation speed within the Zhenhai Pearl, it will take him at least another two or three years to accumulate enough.

Another method is that demonic artifacts are rare; Su Yu has only seen the Dragon Ball demonic artifact in Ao Run's hand in all this time.

Su Yu's main purpose in going to Flying Star Island was to see if there were any demonic artifacts available for purchase, so that she could buy a few to help her overcome her tribulation.

If not, there's nothing we can do but wait another two or three years for her to transform into a legendary template.

The Sky Shuttle flew over 400,000 kilometers in one go, stopping in a certain sea area between Ten Thousand Poison Island and Flying Star Island. Su Yu opened the map, observed it carefully for a while, and nodded:
"right here."

With a push of his hand, the Sky Shuttle turned and plunged headfirst into the sea.

They plunged to a depth of tens of thousands of meters into the sea, where they were surrounded by giant deep-sea fish of level 100 or higher. Most of them were low-level experience monsters, a few were level 100 monsters of normal or elite level, and occasionally they saw a few dragons of level 150 or higher, either elite or terrifying level.

Su Yu carried Ao Run out of the flying boat, then turned around and opened the boundary gate, and the Canghai women emerged from the Zhenhai Pearl.

Su Yu took out the Four Symbols Star Soul Banner and handed it to Cang Hai, instructing him:

“That dragon clan is at the bottom of this sea area. You guys refine a batch here first. I’m going to Flying Star Island and will be back soon.”

Canghai nodded:

"Don't worry, husband."

After handing the Four Symbols Star Soul Banner to her, Su Yu once again activated the Heavenly Escape Shuttle and rushed out of the sea, flying towards Flying Star Island.

With Canghai's level breaking through 200 and advancing to Earth Immortal, her strength has improved significantly compared to before. Now she has enough power to protect herself, so Su Yu feels at ease letting her go out to handle matters.

Xia Xiaoyue and the other women, who are the spirits of the Zhenhai Pearl and its companion true spirits, can now operate within a range of up to one million kilometers around him. Feixing Island is only over four hundred thousand kilometers away from here, which is within their range of activity.

He went to Flying Star Island on business, and she happened to be there refining her Star Soul, filling the Four Symbols Star Soul Banner with Star Soul and maximizing the power of the ninth-tier magic weapon.

With their strength, they would need to acquire a full set of level 170 or higher water-attribute star souls with terrifying templates.

Just then, Su Yu returned to the guild and asked around. She learned that there was a large dragon clan in this sea area, with tens of thousands of dragons, including four or five dragons with a level of over 200. Normally, no one dared to provoke them.

Su Yu immediately became interested upon hearing this. "If others wouldn't dare, I would," she thought, and immediately brought Cang Hai over.

Not to mention this batch of dragons, he even wanted to kill and refine the few dragons over level 200 in the dragon swarm into star souls.

The power and attributes added by the Four Symbols Star Soul Banner are determined by the level of the demon soul and the template. The higher the level of the star soul and the higher the template, the stronger the attached attributes.

Su Yu's idea is to first refine a batch of dragons of level 160 or 170 or above to make do for now, and then slowly collect a set of BOSS demon souls of level 200 or above.

If you can collect a full set of BOSS-level Star Souls with all terrifying templates and level 200 or above, the added attributes will be extremely exaggerated, which will be a great help in crossing the Earth Immortal Tribulation in the future.

Using the Magnetic Flowing Light Escape technique, a super-fast escape method with a flight speed of 1500%, he arrived above Flying Star City in less than an hour. He opened the trading panel and searched for demonic artifacts, and instantly a row of demonic artifacts appeared in front of him.

"so little?"

This row is easy to see at a glance; there are 32 in total.

The quality ranges from low to high, with the best being an eighth-tier demonic artifact called the Blood Refining Cauldron. This cauldron can be forged into the demon's body to refine impurities from the flesh and blood of devoured demonic beasts, turning them into pure essence. Its price is 50% higher than a normal cultivator's magic weapon, totaling 35000 gold. Ao Run has no use for this; since following Su Yu, she spends most of her time inside the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, absorbing spiritual energy to level up, and doesn't need to consume flesh and blood like other demonic beasts.

However, Su Yu hesitated for a moment but still bought it. After all, it was a rare functional demon artifact, and it would be good for Ao Run to occasionally have a feast and devour flesh and blood to purify himself.

Aside from this Blood Refining Cauldron, there aren't many other good demonic artifacts.

Then, he switched to the trading panel, typed in the four characters "[Warship Magic Treasure]" in the search bar, and quickly a series of warship magic treasures popped up.

I only recently heard about this kind of equipment specifically for warships; I had never heard of it before.

I'm here now, so I'll take a look around. If it's not too expensive, I'll get a few pieces to equip the guild's Heavenly Punishment Warship.

He set the search criteria from high to low, refreshed the interface, and several items whose names alone suggested they were valuable appeared before him.

Poseidon's Head (Tier 10): Warship Equipment, Warship Stability +300%, Warship Durability +200%, Warship Damage Reduction Cap +20%, Warship Strength +10000 points, Attached Spells: Power of Poseidon, Protection of Poseidon.

Poseidon's Power: Instantly restores the warship to its optimal state upon activation; cooldown time: 24 hours.

Poseidon's Guardian: Grants 100% damage reduction for 30 minutes upon activation, with a 30-day cooldown.

Price: 150 gold.

Wind God Sail (Tier 9): Warship equipment, warship speed +100%, acceleration +100%, warship agility +100%, warship comes with the spell: Divine Wind.

Divine Wind Technique: Increases the speed of the warship by 500% for 15 minutes after activation. Cooldown time: 24 hours.

Price: 25 gold.

Great Wind (Tier 8): Warship equipment, increases warship speed by 100%, and includes a spell.
"Damn, that's expensive!"

The tenth-tier Poseidon ship's head is priced as high as 150 million gold, which is twice as expensive as a ninth-tier rare magic weapon.

However, to be fair, this thing's attributes are indeed amazing. When a high-level warship is equipped with this magic weapon, its combat power and survivability increase dramatically.

Su Yu hesitated for a few seconds before making a decision and spent 20 gold to buy the Wind God Sail.

The Poseidon's bow is too expensive; 150 million gold is outrageous.

Although I can afford it, it feels like such a bad deal.

Having spent 20 gold, Su Yu now has 347 gold remaining.

It may seem like a lot, but it doesn't last long if you really want to spend it all.

At his level, he wouldn't even look at eighth-tier magic treasures; he'd need at least ninth-tier or even tenth-tier magic treasures, each one incredibly expensive.

After completing the transaction and obtaining the goods, Su Yu lingered in the air above Flying Star Island for a while, spending one hundred gold coins to buy a document to learn about the changes in the Flying Star Islands in recent years.

After spending several hours reading it, Su Yu already had a good understanding of the situation.

There have been quite a few changes, but none of them have been significant, and nothing major has happened.

If one had to pinpoint what could attract his attention, it would be the arrival of a powerful force from overseas four months ago on Flying Star Island. The Heavenly Gods Guild, the dominant guild located in the Endless Forest of Blue Mountain Island, suddenly announced its expansion overseas, establishing a branch on an island more than 200,000 kilometers north of Flying Star Island.

This move clashed with the alliance of guilds under the two sects, Flying Star Sect and Divine Boat Sect, which divided the Flying Star Islands into two factions. However, he later managed to settle the two guild alliances through some unknown means and established a foothold in the Flying Star Islands.

Su Yu had a very bad impression of the Celestial Gods Guild, the dominant guild.

Whether it was his domineering clearing of the Endless Forest without warning that nearly killed him instantly, or his conflict with Ding Lingyu that wiped out the Thousand Feather Society, they had become enemies.

Su Yu had always wanted to find an opportunity to avenge this, especially as his strength grew and the Thousand Star Palace became more and more powerful, he really wanted to find an opportunity to destroy the Heavenly God Society.

He's just been busy improving his skills and hasn't had any free time.

Furthermore, since he revealed his dragon transformation, the gods have become much more low-key and never provoke him, so he couldn't find a reason to declare war for the time being.

"Go back and have Gu Zhiqi send someone to keep an eye on the Heavenly God Society and see if there's any reason to take them down."

After rubbing his face vigorously, Su Yu closed the panel, took to the air, and left Flying Star Island.

Not far from Flying Star Island, I suddenly received a message. When I opened it, I was surprised to find that it was from Ding Lingyu.

"Senior Brother Su, are you on Flying Star Island?"

Su Yu, not noticing his form of address, asked curiously:
"how do you know?"

I'm in Flying Star City. I was just checking my contacts when I noticed your name suddenly lit up.

"Oh, what a coincidence! I just arrived a little while ago. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Senior brother, would you like to visit Yipinlou in Feixing City sometime? I'd like to treat you to a meal."

Su Yu thought that since there was nothing urgent, she nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll be right there."
