Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 28: Cultivation is successful, the sword is powerful (asking for monthly votes)

PS: Brothers, please give me the monthly ticket at the beginning of the month
The Sun-Covering Technique was used, and a sword rainbow over ten feet long rose from Qianyu City, crossing the sky with rolling wind and thunder, attracting the attention of countless people.

With a speed of 1794 kilometers per hour, it ranks first among the immortals.

The Taiyi Qingling Boat has a speed of only 1200 kilometers per hour, only surpassed by the 2000 kilometers per hour of the Chedi Lingyan Shuttle and the 2000 kilometers per hour of the Lingyi Flying Boat.

But a flying boat is not as flexible as flying a sword.

The sword light flashed across the void and appeared in the poisonous fog swamp three hours later.

Zhuang Zhuo, who was refining the Gu, looked up with surprise:
"There are experts."

"Hey, it's coming towards us."

The group stood up and saw the sword light go straight into the base and stop above the base, revealing a familiar figure.

Zhuang Zhuo and Shi Ning were stunned for a moment, then quickly came forward, surprised and happy:

"Brother Su?"

"I am back again."

"I'll ask Zhiqiu and the others to come back."

Several people entered the base talking and laughing. While Su Yu was chatting with them, he looked at the new people in the base with curiosity.

Zhuang Zhuo explained:
"During your absence, some people occasionally came to rent the Gu refining pit, and we occasionally sold some of the extra Gu worms. As a result, we gained some fame. In addition, the waters nearby are very deep and the level of the monsters is quite high, so many people leveled up nearby and stayed here in their spare time."

Su Yu laughed and said:

"That's a good thing. Have you considered hiring one or two players who specialize in alchemy and refining? They could provide some supplies and repair damaged magic weapons to attract more players."

Zhuang Zhuo nodded and said:
"I have this idea, but I don't have much money right now, and we're not strong enough. Our focus at this stage is to improve our cultivation."

"That's true."

The three of them chatted for a while, and then Gu Zhiqiu and Meng Chen came back. As soon as they met, Gu Zhiqiu asked:

"Are you okay? Did you escape?"

Su Yu smiled and said:

"Not only did he escape, he also killed someone."

"???"

"You died too early. When I returned and ran into our leader, she had already prepared an ambush and wiped out the entire Frostfire Guild team in one fell swoop. Even Li Yingshen was killed."

Gu Zhiqiu widened his eyes and punched his palm hard:
"Good death, my revenge is avenged."

"By the way, why are you back this time?"

"The Frostfire Guild will definitely not give up after suffering such a huge loss. This place is no longer suitable for newcomers to level up."

"That's true."

"I don't want to go out either. I'd better stay here and practice slowly."

"Are you still going?"

"Now?"

"Now!"

"Let's go."

After saying hello to Zhuang Zhuo, he, Gu Zhiqiu and Meng Chen set out again and arrived over the waters outside the island.

"There's a group of grass carp spirits over there."

Su Yu stretched out his hand and pointed, and the sun-covering sword light fell from the sky and pierced into the monster group. With a turn, two 2486 damage jumped up in an instant, and the first grass carp monster was directly cut into two pieces by the ring.

Then, as the flying sword shuttled back and forth among the monsters, a series of damage that left Gu Zhiqiu dumbfounded flew out, and blood instantly dyed the water surface red.

"Shit!"

Gu Zhiqiu and Meng Chen, who had just summoned the Golden Winged Flying Centipede and Flying Gu, almost popped their eyes out when they saw this scene.

"Your output?"

"Why is it so high?"

"Is this a high-level flying sword?"

A series of questions came out of his mouth.

Su Yu urged the flying sword to shuttle back and forth, circling all the more than thirty grass carp spirits over fifty levels. The sword light would damage half of the fish's health if it touched it, and a turn around the thick fish body would cause two or three levels of damage. The extremely high attack power directly cut the fish body into two parts.

In just four or five rounds, all the grass carp were killed, with an incredibly high efficiency.

The sword light rolled back the two trophy balls, and Su Yu smiled and replied:
"Thanks to Captain Chu's kindness in granting me this opportunity, my cultivation and sword techniques have been greatly improved, plus I have a sixth-level flying sword."

"hiss!"

"Your leader is so kind! He even gave me a sixth-order flying sword?"

"It's pretty good."

The two looked at each other, and Meng Chen's eyes suddenly lit up and asked:

"You are so strong. Are you confident that you can get first place in the next quiz?"

Gu Zhiqiu also looked curious.

Su Yu shook his head after hearing this:
"It's a bit difficult. You know, those at the top of the rankings all have advanced magic weapons. You all know how powerful advanced magic weapons are. I'm not very confident."

Gu Zhiqiu keenly noticed the loophole in his words and asked excitedly:
"You mean you're not sure, so you're sure?"

"Yeah, there are some."

"boom!"

Gu Zhiqiu slammed his fist into his palm and said excitedly:

"Are you confident of third place?"

"Fourth place is fine."

Now Meng Chen understood what he meant and looked at him curiously.

Su Yu thought for a moment and said:
"Fourth should be no problem, and the top three too. Well, let's put it this way, I'm not sure about Ding Lingyu's strength. I'm not too sure about it right now, but everyone else has a chance of winning."

"Then second?"

Gu Zhiqiu's eyes lit up.

"Have the opportunity."

Su Yu spoke modestly, but was full of confidence in his heart.

"We'll see what your odds are when the time comes. This time, let's take advantage of the guild."

The three of them smiled knowingly.

Gu Zhiqiu rubbed his hands and waved to Meng Chen:

"In that case, you practice alone, and we'll go level up on the other side."

"Not together?"

Gu Zhiqiu shook his head and said:

"What do you mean together? We'll do whatever you output. Isn't this just holding you back?"

"This"

"Don't worry, practice hard, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself in the future, and then we will have to benefit from your help."

Having said that, Su Yu had nothing to say.

Watching the two people leave, he let out a light breath, looked at the schools of fish spines at the bottom of the water not far away, and swung his sword to cut them down.

On the other side, Gu Zhiqiu looked back at the figure who was killing crazily and grinned:
"Believe it or not, Brother Su Yu will definitely be able to successfully overcome the heavenly tribulation and become a Loose Immortal in the future. I have a strong feeling that he will definitely become a big shot in the future."

Ji Chen nodded and said:
"His talent is too strong, and his growth rate is too fast. In just a few months, he has gone through what others would have gone through in years."

Gu Zhiqiu laughed and said:
"We are lucky to be friends with him now. When he overcomes the heavenly tribulation and becomes a Loose Immortal, even if only a little bit of his benefits slip through his fingers, it will be enough for us to enjoy."

"Indeed!" The two smiled slightly and went to another nearby water area to level up together.

"Purple energy!"

A fifteen-foot-long purple hand broke through the water and pressed into the lake. With a loud bang, the huge fish head was smashed into pieces on the spot.

A white sword light more than 20 meters long shuttled back and forth in the lake, and every second, four or five swords of about 2400 damage soared.

Taking out a low-grade Huanyuan Pill to restore his magic power, Su Yu grabbed with his left hand, and a blazing white sword energy condensed in the palm of his hand. It quickly extended to more than 20 meters long and was thrown into the water. The actual sword energy penetrated the bottom of the water, and as he bent his five fingers, the straight sword energy stretched into an arc.

With one press, the arc-shaped sword energy bounced straight, the sharp edge swept across, and instantly exploded more than a dozen damages as high as 3400.

Immediately afterwards, the sword energy of Covering the Sun swept across, and more than a dozen black fish monsters floated up with their bellies turned upside down.

The sword energy is similar to the physical sword energy, which is an extension of his power. It can change at will according to his will and can exist as long as there is enough magic power to maintain it.

A sword energy more than 20 meters long cut back and forth in the monster group, and the monsters attracted were instantly ripped open and split into two.

The flying sword and sword energy work together to increase the killing efficiency by more than double.

The only problem is that the mana consumption is a bit high. It takes 50 seconds of mana to maintain one second. Even with his current mana, he can't last too long.

But it is undeniable that it is very enjoyable and efficient.

Previously, I had gained about 400,000 killing experiences in the same day at Lianhuan Demon Village. Here, a person can accumulate about 1.1 million killing experiences in a day, which is more than three times more.

Next, Su Yu stayed in the waters near the base to level up, ignoring everything outside and concentrating on accumulating killing experience.

He is also very patient. He brushes for a week each time and only takes a break after a week.

Even during the rest time, he was not idle, he stayed at the base to help make poison.

Yes, he can also make Gu.

The Gu Sutra that comes with Gu Zhiqiu's Wan Gu Ju Ling Jing contains 17 methods of refining Gu, which can be shared. There are 10 sharing quotas. As Su Yu is one of the shareholders, he must have one quota.

In addition to many common poisonous insects such as blood-whiskered mosquitoes, red-refined snakes, poisonous clams, flying poisonous insects, ink-ball bees, red-flame flying centipedes, etc., the Gu Sutra also includes three rare poisonous insects and the elite template rare Gu such as the golden-winged flying centipede.

He just doesn't follow the path of Gu, and his Qi-refining technique has no added effect on Gu worms. That doesn't mean he can't refine Gu and mobilize them to fight.

You can refine some when you have nothing to do, and sell it when you don’t need it, which can also be an extra income.

He got a Hundred Gu Banner from Zhuang Zhuo and stored the poisonous insects he had refined inside it. He was currently refining the Red Flame Flying Centipede, and he would refine it when he had nothing to do, so the space inside the banner was almost full.

The golden-winged flying centipede has not been refined yet. After all, he is not a serious follower of the Gu Dao school, and his level is not good enough. The success rate of refining the golden-winged flying centipede is not high now.

He had to save money and wait for the next quiz to take a gamble. If his plan went well, he could earn dozens of taels of gold in one go. Only then would he try to refine the golden-winged flying centipede.

On the small Gu pit, Su Yu threw the divided Gu worms in his pocket into the Gu pit, injected his magic power into the Gu pit to activate it, and began to sacrifice and refine it using the secret method of refining Gu.

After a while, he sensed that the colored smoke inside the Gu pit began to change, and he quickly made hand gestures to change his method.

This process is constantly changing, with materials added multiple times.

After an incense stick of time, the Gu pit opened and a red flame flying centipede wrapped in poisonous smoke flew out. He had already activated the Hundred Gu Banner, and the red flame flying centipede flew into the vortex on its own.

"Not bad!"

The quality is very good, it is level 20 when it comes out.

He put away the Hundred Gu Banner and took out a set of materials that had been prepared long ago and threw them into the Gu pit.

"continue!"

At the end of the day, more than twenty red flame flying centipedes were refined one after another.

"Continue next week."

The price of this thing is 2 taels of silver each. If you collect 100 Hundred Gu Banners, you can sell them for 2 taels of gold.

The next morning, Su Yu ate a bowl of river porridge and was about to go out when Gu Zhiqiu stopped him and asked in a low voice:
"Old Su, I came back from headquarters yesterday and heard that the main force of the guild, the Second Regiment, and the Frostfire Guild had a fight in Chensha Town. Have you heard about it?"

Su Yu paused and immediately asked:
"When will the fighting start and what will be the scale?"

"A few days ago, there was a fight. I heard that Li Ying, the leader of the fourth main group of the Frostfire Guild, has died. They want an explanation from the guild."

"died?"

"Yes, completely fallen, no resurrection."

"This"

Su Yu was quite surprised. Li Yingshen didn't look very old, and he didn't expect that his remaining life span was less than fifty years.

He shook his head and said:

"This is none of our business. Let's see how the guild responds."

Gu Zhiqiu smiled and said:
"I said, give me a hammer to explain, giving me some tape is better. Isn't this Li Yingshen who came to provoke me? If he lost, it's because he was not as skilled as the other person. How can he have the nerve to complain?"

Su Yu smiled and said nothing.

He also felt that there would not be a big fight. The Frostfire Guild was not as strong as the Thousand Feathers Guild, and they were not in the right in this matter. At most, they would just argue and pretend to explain to their subordinates, and in the end, the matter would be left unresolved.

But we still have to be careful during this period, for fear that the Frostfire Guild will retaliate privately and send people to secretly kill the newcomers.

Shaking his head, he turned and went out to continue leveling up.

This training lasted another whole week, and in his spare time he stayed at the base to refine the Gu.

In the third week, he practiced for two days in a row and finally collected a hundred red flame flying centipedes.

I sold it directly for 3 taels of gold. After deducting the cost of the banner and the cost of refining the Gu, I made a net profit of 1 tael of gold.

"Come again!"

Su Yu looked at the remaining 8 gold in his hand, and bought 4 Hundred Gu Banners in one go, spending 4 taels of gold, and then spent another 4 taels of gold to buy materials for refining Gu.

After buying it, I went home and continued to make the Gu.

I still maintain the previous pace, focusing on killing monsters for a week and taking two days off to refine poison. My life is extremely fulfilling.

It took two months before the four Hundred Poison Banners were refined, and there was only half a month left before the second test.

After two months of hard work in killing monsters, he accumulated a total of more than 70 million killing experience points. Combined with the previous accumulation, the experience pool has accumulated more than 84 million training points.

But
Su Yu opened the panel and his eyes fell on the 100 billion experience requirements on the Nine Heavens Bone Tempering Technique, which made him feel numb.

“There are too many demands.”

At the current efficiency, it would take three months to accumulate 100 million killing experiences, and 300 months to accumulate 1 billion, which is equivalent to 25 years.

Logically speaking, it is worthwhile to spend 25 years to refine a piece of immortal bone considering the properties of this immortal bone.

No matter which piece you refine, your strength will undergo a qualitative change.

Especially the Five Elements Divine Bone and the Supreme Dragon Bone. Any of these two pieces can bring about a qualitative change in strength when refined, making it easy to survive the heavenly tribulation.

But Su Yu doesn't think so. He thinks 25 years is too long.

But no matter how helpless and speechless he was, there was definitely no way to sacrifice and refine the immortal bones at this stage.

Not to mention the lack of experience, other materials are needed to refine the immortal bones, and he can't afford any of them now.

"I can only improve my cultivation first."

His gaze fell on the Basic Qi Refining Technique and the Basic Sword Technique, hesitating for a moment before making up his mind:
"Improve your cultivation. Your sword skills are powerful enough anyway."

With a thought, a steady stream of cultivation points and spiritual attainments were invested in the Ziyuan Qi Refining Technique.

The points of cultivation and the level of Taoism turned into a warm current flowing out of the body, and circulated according to the mind method. After a big circle, it turned into magic power, merged into the sea of ​​​​qi along the meridians, and was promoted to the fifty-first level.

Take a short rest and continue practicing.

A few hours later, after consuming a total of 55 million practice points and 200 points of Taoism, the Ziyuan Qi Refining Art was upgraded to the 60th level.

The remaining 2926 million cultivation points and 56 points of Taoism will be kept for the time being.

The 60th level of Ziyuan Qi Refining Art: Qi and blood +2400, mana +4800, spell power +2400, mana recovery +12 points/second.

"Not bad!"

"Among the independent cultivators outside of a sect, my cultivation level is already pretty good."

The only pity is that the sixty-level Ziyuan Qi Refining Art did not derive any new Taoist methods.
