Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 3 Newcomer's First Battle
After ordering his meal, he browsed for a few minutes and found a chamber of commerce that sold magic weapons.

Today is the last day of training with the guild. Tomorrow he will have to start being self-reliant and go out to level up by himself, so he needs to prepare some things.

There is no need to worry about this. Before awakening the body of data law, there will be special teachers to teach them the basic knowledge of practice.

For a newbie’s first training, in addition to practicing martial arts, he had to prepare a few standard props. He took a quick look and selected a few items and put them into the shopping cart one by one.

The first one was a defensive magic weapon: the black iron bell, which cost 20 taels of silver.

Black Iron Bell (Level 3 Magical Weapon): A magical weapon made of black iron, it has extremely strong defensive power.

Attributes: Defense 2500, Mana conversion rate 10.

Equipment requirements: 10th level or above of Xuanmen and side-door Qi-refining techniques.

The next item was an offensive magic weapon: the Sanyang Fan, which was slightly cheaper than the defensive magic weapon and cost 18 taels of silver.

Three Yang Fan (third-level magic weapon): A treasure fan made from the feathers of a three-legged fire crow, which can emit three balls of huge scorching sun to hurt the enemy.

Attributes: Each Sunfire spell deals 100 spell damage, a 20% spell damage bonus, consumes 50 mana, and has a cooldown of 3 seconds.

Equipment requirements: Tenth level or above of Xuanmen and side-door Qi-refining techniques.

Small Teleportation Talisman: After 15 seconds of activation, it will teleport to towns within a radius of 1000 kilometers. You can set a priority teleportation point. It costs 10 taels of silver per piece.

Top-grade Soul-Restoring Pill: Restores 600 mana points within one second after taking it. 50 coins per pill. I bought two large bottles of 200 pills, spending a total of 10 taels of silver.

Finally, there are five disposable sky thunder beads. After being thrown out, they will cause 2000 thunder and fire damage to enemies within a diameter of 20 meters. They cost 5 silver each, and the total cost was 25 silver.

In the end, he spent a total of 83 taels of silver, which was about one-third of his net worth.

Su Yu was not rich. He had a total of 3 taels of gold on him before coming to the Blue Mountain Islands. He had used three jade talismans to upgrade his car over the previous three days to gain double experience, which cost him a total of 60 silver. After deducting some miscellaneous things, he was only left with 2 gold, 38 taels of silver and 569 coins.

Those three golds were the last support his parents gave him in his life. After that, he would most likely have to rely on himself to make a living.

The Blue Mountain Islands are tens of millions of kilometers away from the ancestral land where human civilization has been operating for 100,000 years. It is extremely difficult to make a round trip. The ticket price of the transoceanic ship is as high as hundreds of taels of gold. There is no hope of returning before you make a name for yourself.

And there's no point in going back. There are only retired parents in the human heartland, and most of the other brothers and sisters are in the Blue Mountain Islands.

In addition, his innate talent was not the best in the family. His parents had already given all the relationships, favors and assets they had accumulated over decades of hard work to his second brother, who had the best qualifications. The other brothers were only given a few taels of gold and sent away.

Su Yu neither envied nor resented this.

Because this is normal. In the other world, most couples who have not achieved much will have a large number of children after retirement, hoping that an outstanding offspring will be born among them to inherit all their relationships and assets, thereby surpassing themselves and bringing the family to a higher level.

Su Yu has more than a dozen brothers and sisters, among whom the second brother has the best talent. His father said that his innate bone structure is over twenty points, and his innate comprehension is over thirty points, which can be called a first-level genius.

He came to the Blue Mountain Islands more than ten years ago and successfully joined a large sect called Xuanzhen Sect.

When Su Yu came to the Blue Mountain Islands, he heard that his second brother had become a disciple of an elder of the sect who was at level 170, and had married the master's daughter, and his life was developing very well.

As the most promising one in the family, while taking away most of the family resources, you also have responsibilities. If you can make a name for yourself in the future, you have to take care of your brothers and sisters.

As long as he can successfully survive the first great heavenly tribulation and become a wandering immortal, his strength and status will skyrocket, and his brothers and sisters will be able to gain tangible benefits.

Apart from other things, just the fact that Su Yu has such a brother who has achieved the status of a wandering immortal will immediately gain the attention of the guild's top management. At the very least, it will not be a problem for him to be promoted to an elite member. If he has good ability to strive for success, it will not be a problem for him to become a core member or get a middle-level official position.

In addition, he is still young and has the opportunity to join the Xuanzhen Sect with the recommendation of his brothers.

But the premise of all this is that the second brother can come forward, successfully overcome the heavenly tribulation and advance to another level.

In addition, it depends on whether the second brother cares about the brotherhood. If he has no other brothers in his heart, then...
Su Yu didn't think too much about this. Having lived two lives, he knew in his heart that in the final analysis, he could only rely on himself and never put his hopes on others.

Moreover, although his talent is average, with the help of the golden finger, his future achievements will definitely be higher than his second brother's, and he does not need to rely on anyone at all.

The efficiency of the city was very high, and the fast food and items he ordered were delivered one by one in less than fifteen minutes.

The Sky Thunder Pearl Small Displacement Talisman and the Soul-Returning Pill were placed in the personal space, and the two magic weapons were equipped in the magic weapon column.

In the other shore, after awakening, all practitioners initially have 1 flying sword slot and 4 magic weapon slots, and can equip 4 magic weapons at the same time to fight.

After surviving the first great heavenly tribulation, the flying sword column increases by +1, the magic weapon column increases by +2, and the personal space increases from 20 grids to 40 grids.

After that, every time you survive a great heavenly tribulation, the flying sword column and magic weapon column will be increased.

In addition, each person will have ten fixed equipment slots, namely head, necklace, body, belt, feet, gloves, two rings, and two accessories.

However, unlike the game, as a fairy-hero world, the mainstream is to cultivate Taoism, magical powers, and flying swords and magic weapons, and equipment is not important.

Generally, low-grade equipment only increases some defense, health and mana, but the increase is not much.

Some veterans who have been in the industry for several years have full slots for flying swords and magic weapons, but may only have a few items in their equipment slots, most of which are special function equipment.

For example, a storage belt or storage ring that increases personal space.

Or a ring or accessory that increases the number of flying sword magic weapon slots.

Or robes with special effects and powerful defense, etc.

At least Su Yu doesn't have any equipment on him now.

By the time they finished their meal, it was already dark. Lights were on in the city, and most of the players had returned home at night. The city was bustling with people, and its prosperity was no less than that of a modern city at night. However, Su Yu had no intention of visiting the night market, and went straight back to his room to sleep.

Alone, silent all night.

The next morning, he woke up early and saw a message on the newsletter. It was signed by Lu Yongyuan, the guild's new recruit chief instructor. The message looked like a group message:

"The Guild's new member training regulations stipulate that all new members will not have any mandatory guild missions or activities in their first year. Everyone can freely move around and improve their strength."

"However, in order to better integrate newcomers into the guild, the Newcomer Department has coordinated with the Human Resources Department to allow each guild group and independent squadron to recruit newcomers in advance. After both parties have reached an agreement, newcomers can join any team in advance."

"The recruitment will be held in the central square of the residential area for one week. Those who have not been accepted after one week can apply in writing to the respective squadrons."

"Finally, I wish you all smooth sailing and early success in your cultivation!"

"Hmm! Not bad."

After reading the message, Su Yu closed the communication panel, had a simple breakfast, and then rode the paper crane into the air and flew out.

There were many people who got up early like him. He saw people going out from time to time along the way. Most of those who were riding swords or mounts were old members of the guild, and most of those who were flying slowly on paper cranes were newcomers like him.

Outside the residential area, a large plaza surrounded by stone pillars was already crowded with people. Many newcomers flew over on paper cranes. From time to time, sharp sword flashes could be seen flying from afar, or a flying boat would arrive from somewhere within the city and land in the plaza.

Paper Crane paused in the square and saw that there were many tables where the crowd gathered, with one or two people sitting at the back. It looked like a campus recruitment.

His powerful eyesight saw that there were signs on the tables, which read:

"The Guild's Seventh Independent Squadron is recruiting new members. Requires obedience and follow orders, nothing else."

Look at the other one next to it, it’s the same brand:
"The Guild's Ninth Independent Squadron is recruiting new members. Requires obedience and follow orders, nothing else."

All other tables are basically the same, and are used for recruitment by the guild's independent squadrons.

Su Yu didn't see any recruitment activity from the guild's main groups, and he knew why.

The guild's military structure is generally composed of several main regiments and many independent squadrons. The independent squadrons are developed from some small teams within the guild, and the squadron leaders are the core members of the guild.

The main force is the core force of the guild and is directly under the official jurisdiction of the guild.

Therefore, the development of independent squadrons requires self-reliance, while the main group does not need it and can be directly allocated by the guild if needed.

Every year, a group of people in the guild choose to retire due to age or too many deaths. A large number of new members are recruited every year. Each independent squadron will recruit some of these new members, form their own teams or work alone in small groups. At least half of the remaining members will be transferred to the main groups after one year.

Su Yu had no intention of joining the independent squadron. He took a glance and urged the paper crane to leave.

Although joining a team provides protection, it is too restrictive.

Most teams have issues such as seniority, forming cliques, and personal relationships. No matter how well you perform, if you are not valued by the leader or offend the old people in the team, you will easily be suppressed and bullied, which will seriously affect your growth rate.

After all, it’s not easy to figure out what to do now that the team has joined.

Instead of wasting time and energy, it is better to become self-reliant early.

The paper crane flew wobbly towards the west of the city, came to the Chensha River, and flew upstream along the river.

Guild newbie guide: the first choice for newbies to level up nearby is the Chensha River. The water monsters by the river are only a little over level ten, which is much lower in both difficulty and danger than the Yuanjiang River where the water monsters are a little over level twenty.

At this time, there are already many newcomers who choose to level up here by the river, either alone or in a team.

A giant ship over a hundred meters long was anchored on the river, with a divine thunder tower standing on the ship. They used demon-attracting incense to attract a large number of monsters, and then gathered a huge flaming divine thunder to blast it into the river, causing the river surface to boil with flames and lightning.

Judging from the mark, this building ship belongs to the guild, but it is unknown which independent squadron it belongs to. It costs 90 silver experience points to sit on the ship for a day, which is very expensive and most people cannot afford it.

Su Yu didn't fly too far and stopped over a riverbank mudflat fifty kilometers away from Qianyu City.

This large tidal flat depression, which is more than ten kilometers long, is flooded with water. There is hardly any grass to be seen. Many places are flooded by the river water. Many fish monsters, shrimp monsters, crab monsters and other water monsters with levels between 10 and 15 can be seen swimming in it.

He was not the only one near the mudflats. There were several small teams, mostly in groups of three or five. Some were veterans leading newcomers, while others were teams of completely new members. Judging from their attire, they were all from the Qianyu Guild.

Su Yu's arrival did not attract their attention. The mudflat was large enough for them to use.

The paper crane descended, Su Yu jumped down, stretched out his hand to call the paper crane back, and his eyes fell on a two-meter-long green-backed grass carp spirit in the water more than forty meters away. Immediately, a piece of basic information appeared in front of him.

Grass Carp Spirit (Waste Material): Level 12, aquatic creature, a grass carp that has become a spirit.

Attributes: HP 200, Demonic Power 60, Attack 50, Speed ​​22 km/h, Skill: Water Arrow.

In the other world, monsters are divided into different grades, from low to high, they are waste, ordinary, elite, terrifying, peerless, legendary, and mythical.

The higher the grade, the greater the wisdom and strength.

Among them, the waste material is the pure experience baby.

There was nothing to say. Su Yu stretched out his hand and grabbed it. A red feather fan appeared in his hand. Magic power was injected into it and the feather fan burned fiercely. He stretched out his hand and raised it. The burning flames flew out and gathered into three fireballs as big as his head. With a wave of his hand, three fireballs flew towards the grass carp spirit in a row.

"bang bang bang"

Three fireballs exploded one after another, dealing three 200 damages, and the grass carp spirit was blown to pieces on the spot.

"Not bad!"

Su Yu knew what was going on and was not surprised.

The basic damage of the Sanyang Fan is 100, and the third-level magic weapon has a 20% magic damage bonus. He now has a 400 magic damage bonus in the tenth level of Ziyuan Refining Qi Jue, and 20% is 80 additional magic damage.

Tenth level of Fire Element True Solution +20% fire spell bonus, 20% of the basic power of 100, additional damage 20.

In the end, the total damage of each fireball is 200 points, and a single fireball is just enough to kill the grass carp spirit.

"If this is the case"

Su Yu looked at a small group of level 11 or 12 carp spirits not far from the grass carp spirit, and once again urged the magic power of the Three Yang Fan to burn fiercely. Then he waved the fan lightly, and controlled the three large fireballs with his will to fly in three directions.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Three balls of flame exploded, but only hit two grass carp spirits. The last ball of flame missed.

"It's a little worse."

"Come again."

He was not discouraged. He ignored the frightened black fish spirit that pounced on him, selected two new targets, and continued to use his magic power to summon three balls of flames to fly out.
-
200-
200-
200
All three fireballs hit the target, and a grass carp spirit, a black fish spirit and a carp spirit were all blown to pieces.

"YES!"

He clenched his fists excitedly, and immediately changed his target, staring at a group of carp spirits by the river, and continued to use his magic weapon to blast out three flaming fireballs.

The fish were frightened and turned to rush towards him. The fastest ones jumped out of the water and opened their mouths to spray out crystal clear water arrows as thick as arms.

Su Yu flipped his left hand and a palm-sized black iron bell appeared in his palm. He sprayed a mouthful of magic power on it. Spiritual patterns appeared on the bronze bell and it quickly became brighter. He stretched out his hand and threw the black iron bell. It flew above his head and hung in the air. A circle of translucent light waves hung down to protect his whole body.

More than a dozen water arrows flew over and hit the light waves, causing ripples.
