Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 314 The Method of Transforming Cultivation Techniques and Condensing a Superior Golden Core

At this moment, Su Yu heard Ye Lingfeng's voice:

"The following is the true explanation of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture; you may cultivate it together."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yu saw a flash of inspiration behind the "Taoist Techniques" section, and a new Taoist technique appeared out of thin air.

The True Explanation of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture (Supreme): A supplementary cultivation method to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture, which can be practiced together with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture.

Attributes: Based on the cultivation of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture, increase blood and qi by 100%, mana by 100%, spell power by 100%, and the power of all derived Taoist spells by 100%.

The panel changed in the next instant, and the talent took effect again.

The True Explanation of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture (Supreme): A supplementary cultivation method to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture, which can be practiced together with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture.

Attributes: Based on the cultivation of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture, increase blood and qi by 200%, mana by 200%, spell power by 200%, and the power of all derived Taoist spells by 200%.

Just then, Su Yu heard Ye Lingfeng's furious shout:

"Calm your mind, and I will help you switch to cultivating your inner power!"

The void trembled, and the vast celestial palace shone brightly. Countless golden celestial runes appeared, converging and transforming into golden streams of light that flowed into Su Yu's body.

In that instant, Su Yu felt the magical power within her body flow out like a torrent, but her foundation did not collapse. Instead, it was held in place by chains formed by countless golden rays of light.

The dissipated magical power did not disappear; it transformed into tangible magical power that surrounded the body.

"It's now!"

With a soft shout from his master, the Xuan Ting Treasure Scripture within Su Yu's body was dissolved by an invisible force and replaced by a new cultivation method—the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture.

With the change in cultivation method, a continuous flow of magical power flowed back to replenish the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture, rapidly increasing its level.

Ten floors.

Twenty floors.

Fifty floors.

Ninety floors.

One hundred layers, then merge with the Dao Foundation, and the mental cultivation method also transforms into the Dao Foundation Mental Cultivation Method.

Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture (Supreme): The foundational mental cultivation method of the Dao, the supreme inheritance of the ancient Chan Sect, with the highest attainment being a Golden Immortal.

Attributes: For each level increased, HP +3000, MP +6000, spell power +3000, MP regeneration +3 point/second.

Then, the remaining mana continued to flow into the Dao Foundation, quickly filling the missing parts.

Daoji third grade.

When Su Yu reached the fourth level of Dao Foundation, his original magical power was exhausted. He was hesitating whether to use the cultivation points and Dao cultivation accumulated in the experience pool to make up for it, but he found that the magical power he invested was still flowing continuously without stopping. He immediately realized that this was his master's help.

The seventh grade of Dao Foundation.

He didn't stop at the eighth rank of Dao Foundation, but instead rose to the ninth rank of Dao Foundation in one go, which is equivalent to level 190.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Scripture, after being transformed, is indeed stronger than the Xuan Ting Treasure Scripture, which has been completed to the Supreme Rank. In addition, with the accompanying True Understanding bonus, the increase in mana, mana damage, and mana recovery speed is greatly increased with each grade improvement of the Dao Foundation.

Light and Time Battle Immortal Foundation (Basic): Immune to attacks from primordial spirits below the Celestial Immortal level and possession by inner demons; immune to slowing, imprisonment, immobilization, and defense penetration below the Celestial Immortal level; all spell damage and range +200%; all resistances and damage reduction +70%; all speed +200%.

Health +600 million, Mana +100 million, Physique +5, Strength +5, Spell Damage +30, Speed ​​+5 km/h, Health Recovery +1000, Mana Recovery +300 points/second.

Flying sword damage +6, attack speed +4, sword control speed +4 km/h.

For each grade of Dao Foundation advancement: Health +100 million, Mana +18, Physique +2, Strength +3, Spell Damage +9, Physical Flight Speed ​​+5000 km/h, Health Recovery +1000 points/second, Mana Recovery +50 points/second.

Flying sword damage +6000, attack speed +4000, sword control speed +4000 km/h.

Now at the ninth level of Dao Foundation
Time-Traveling Immortal Foundation (Ninth Rank): Immune to attacks from primordial spirits below the Celestial Immortal level and to possession by inner demons; immune to slowing, imprisonment, immobilization, and defense penetration below the Celestial Immortal level; all spell damage and range increased by 200%; all resistances and damage reduction increased by 70%; all speed increased by 200%.

Health +1500 million, Mana +262 million, Physique +28, Strength +42, Spell Damage +111 million, Speed ​​+9.5 km/h, Health Recovery +1, Mana Recovery +750 points/second.

Flying sword damage +102000, attack speed +68000, sword control speed +68000 km/h.

All of the above attributes are those that have been superimposed with the True Explanation of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture.

The various abilities and supernatural powers derived from the Dao foundation remain unchanged.

However, the various derivative Taoist methods of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture have changed.

Protective Qi (Dao Foundation): Base defense +200 million, damage reduction 70%, mana conversion rate 600, each level of Dao Foundation increases defense by 20, Qi shield breaks and restarts after 30 minutes of cooldown.

Qi-based flight (Dao Foundation): Allows you to fly by controlling your Qi. The base altitude is 1 meters, the base flight speed is 3 kilometers per hour, and the mana cost is 30 points per second. For each grade of Dao Foundation upgrade, the altitude increases by 2000 meters, and the flight speed increases by 5000 kilometers per hour.

Transmitting Sound Across a Thousand Miles (Dao Foundation): Infuse your magic power into your sound so that it can travel a thousand miles. The base casting distance is 5000 kilometers, and increases by 1000 kilometers for each level of Dao Foundation.

Innate Qi Grabbing Technique (Dao Foundation): Uses magic power to condense up to two grabbing hands to fight the enemy. Base strength is 30, casting distance is +10 kilometers, and for each grade of Dao Foundation improvement, strength is increased by 5 and casting distance is increased by 1 kilometer.

Nine Heavens Jade Purity Immortal Thunder (Dao Foundation): Supreme Thunder Technique, base power (50 + 200% spell damage) * 3, casting range 30 kilometers, damage radius 1000 meters * 3, mana cost 3000, cooldown time 20 seconds.

Each upgrade to the Dao Foundation increases power by 3 and casting range by 3 kilometers.

Thousand-Mile Projection (Dao Foundation): Uses magic power to condense a projection with 50% of your own attributes and teleport it to a place you have been before. It can carry flying swords and magic treasures. The maximum distance is 10 kilometers. Each upgrade of the Dao Foundation increases the distance by 1 kilometers. It consumes 20% of your maximum magic power.

Spiritual Light Escape Technique (Dao Foundation): A great supernatural power, a flash of spiritual light can travel a thousand miles in an instant, with five levels.

First level: Transform into a beam of light and fly away quickly. The speed of the light is 1000% of the user's own flight speed. It can carry one person while flying. The mana consumption is 1000 points per second.

The Art of Spiritual Reflection (Dao Foundation): A circular light appears in the water, shining towards the sky, capturing the aura and past of people on the ground, revealing every detail. The longest rewind time is 3 hours. Each upgrade of the Dao Foundation increases the rewind time by 15 minutes. It consumes 3000 mana points and has a 15-minute cooldown.

Yuqing Divine Thunder Network (Dao Foundation): Omitted.

Nine Heavens Profound Qi (Dao Foundation): The Nine Heavens Profound Qi can change in countless ways, changing size at will, and possesses boundless power.

The Second Primordial Spirit Method (Dao Foundation): Omitted.

All of the above derivative Dao techniques have been enhanced by the True Explanation of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture, instantly transforming their power from being useless to being highly useful, even in battles against opponents of the same level.

At this point, Su Yu's conversion to Taoism was complete, and he officially became a disciple of the ancient Chan sect.

At that moment, he heard his master's voice:
"You are currently at the ninth rank of Dao Foundation, just one rank away from being able to undergo the second Heavenly Tribulation and condense the Golden Core. You possess a Heavenly Immortal-level True Dragon Incarnation, so the Heavenly Tribulation is not difficult for you. However, there are nine ranks of Golden Core, and your master hopes that you can condense a first-rank Golden Core."

Su Yu immediately responded:

"Your disciple obeys!"

Ye Lingfeng waved his hand and said with a serious expression:

“You are not obeying my orders. You are doing this for your own sake. Without a first-grade golden core, you are not even qualified to compete for the position of true disciple of our sect, let alone have the opportunity to go to the ancestral temple of Jiuxian Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou in the future.”

Su Yu quickly replied:

"This disciple will surely be able to condense a first-grade golden core."

"Ok!"

Ye Lingfeng's expression softened, and he nodded, saying:
"Work hard now and go back to cultivate. When you have time, you can contact the sect's scripture pavilion to learn about the immortal realm and cultivation. There are many cultivation notes left by our sect's predecessors in the scripture pavilion. Also, come to Dragon Turtle Peak on the first day of every three months to listen to my lecture. The next lecture will be at the beginning of the following month."

"Disciple knows."

After leaving the palace, Su Yu returned to Hongyu Peak, opened the sect channel, and used her disciple credentials to enter the Scripture Pavilion to view some information.

Yes, the sect's scripture library can be viewed through the player interface, as long as you have the necessary permissions.

In addition, the natives of the Azure Immortal Realm are aware of the player's existence. In their eyes, the player is a race that has awakened its destiny. Races with destiny that have stats can cultivate very quickly, giving them a significant advantage over the natives in the early stages of cultivation. Their probability of becoming a Celestial Immortal is several times that of the natives, so they are all very keen to take the player as their apprentice.

In addition, in the eyes of the natives above the Celestial Immortal realm, the races of the Heavenly Mandate are born by the mandate of Heaven and compete for the protagonist of the Heavenly Mandate, so they do not reject taking other races besides humans as disciples.

Not only the Xuanqing Upper Sect, but also all sects in the Qingcang Immortal Realm and even the Four Great Continents, are like this, widely accepting all races to join their ranks.

As for whether the next generation of disciples, belonging to different races, will cause infighting and division, it seems no one cares.

Perhaps this is part of the great calamity of the era, with the calamity descending upon the Mengpi Lingtai, causing them to overlook these hidden dangers.

Moreover, Su Yu discovered a rather interesting pattern: it seems that all the Destiny Races are humanoid races.

Whether it's the Horned Demons, the Fire Clan, the Six-Eared People, the Heavenly Eye People, the Thunder Clan, the Stone Heart Clan, or any other race he has ever seen or heard of, they are all humanoid races that are extremely similar to humans.

At first, he thought that because humans were the chosen protagonists of the previous era, all races imitated humans when they were created, so as to make it easier to replace them.

But after spending almost half a month reading in the library, Su Yu discovered the truth: these chosen races were not imitating humans, but rather the creator of the primordial world—Pangu.

Because Pangu was the first humanoid god in the chaos, all the innate deities and the demon races that took human form in the prehistoric world, as well as the human race created by Nuwa, were modeled after Pangu.

The human race, modeled after Pangu, was the first chosen protagonist by Heaven without any competition, as soon as it was created.

As the human era came to an end and a new era began, various races vied for the new protagonist of destiny. Although the races were different, their appearances were bound to imitate Pangu, and naturally, they would also be in human form.

It can be said that if one's appearance is too different from that of a human, one will not even have the chance to pass the selection of the Heavenly Dao, and it will be impossible for one to obtain the Mandate of Heaven to compete for the Mandate of Heaven in the new era.

Inside the Crimson Jade Palace, Su Yu opened the panel with a thought and her gaze fell on the Dao Foundation.

"To advance another rank, I would need to trigger a heavenly tribulation to condense a golden core, but my preparations..."

He recalled the cultivation notes of many senior members of his sect that he had seen in the Sutra Repository, which clearly explained the precautions for condensing golden cores of different grades.

"If I had no ambitions, with my current accumulation, I could trigger a heavenly tribulation at any time, and with my current strength, I would be able to overcome even the most difficult heavenly tribulations." But he was a core disciple of the upper sect and a disciple personally taught by an immortal, so how could he not have any ambitions?

The lowest grade is the first-rank Golden Elixir.

The highest level of immortal golden core is also known as the super-grade golden core.

That's right, if even a Foundation Establishment cultivator has a Super Grade cultivator, then a Golden Core cultivator definitely will.

A superior Dao Foundation is called a superior Immortal Foundation, and a superior Golden Core is called an Immortal Golden Core.

A superior-grade immortal foundation is a prerequisite for a superior-grade golden core. Without a superior-grade immortal foundation, no matter how strong your subsequent accumulation is, you will never be able to condense an immortal golden core.

However, the difficulty of forming an immortal golden core far exceeds that of a superior immortal foundation. It is not seen that Master did not require Su Yu to form a superior golden core at all, but only required him to form a first-grade golden core.

But just because his master didn't make any demands doesn't mean he had no ambitions.

If you want to stand out and go further in the future, you must strive for excellence and accumulate knowledge to the limit.

With Su Yu's current accumulation of experience, achieving a first-grade golden core is practically a certainty, and there's also a high probability that he can condense a super-grade golden core.

But it's only a high probability, not a sure thing; he still needs to go further.

In terms of cultivation, there's not much to hone. His Qi Refining Technique, Sword Art, and Body Refining Method are all at the highest level. He also has a double talent bonus and has mastered the Law of Time ahead of time. His accumulation is more than enough. His only flaw is his physical constitution.

"Root bone" is a general term that includes various innate attributes, special constitutions, bloodlines, and so on.

Su Yu's innate bone density is 71, which should be enough.

With an innate comprehension score of 83, that's enough.

The innate six senses are 58, which is not enough.

Even with 51 innate blessings, that's not enough.

He doesn't have any special physical constitution, but he has the bloodline of a true dragon and his rank is Celestial Immortal. This is barely acceptable; it doesn't hold him back, but it doesn't provide much of a boost either.

In addition, my swordsmanship has not improved for a long time.

The sword energy and thunderous sound were still incredibly powerful.

【凝剑成丝】is a skill that has reached the pinnacle of mastery.

The skill of "Differentiation of Sword Light" is still at its peak.

The true meaning of swordsmanship is to have entered the inner sanctum.

This aspect is also somewhat lacking.

"Fortunately, there are clear ways to improve these."

Improving innate attributes is simple; just consume elixirs, and as long as you have the money, you can quickly max them out.

The True Dragon bloodline is a bit troublesome. The best way to improve it now is through the Ancient Dragon bloodline transformation. If the transformation can be completed, it will be maxed out in one go.

Let alone a mere top-grade Golden Core, even a Golden Immortal would not have any defects in their physical constitution.

The ultimate essence of swordsmanship comes down to hard work and perseverance. Just be a little more diligent and dedicate more time to practicing swordsmanship. With the added advantage of talent, once you've accumulated enough experience in other areas, you'll have accumulated enough in this area as well.

In short, the core idea is to make money, and then slowly work your way up.

After all, whether it's taking elixirs or enhancing the bloodline of an ancient dragon, it all requires a lot of money.

The transformation of ancient dragon bloodlines is not limited to using the origin of the Heavenly Dao, which is the most direct method. In addition, one can refine higher-grade true dragon bloodlines to enhance them, but all of these require money.

Su Yu currently has 17230 Immortal Coins, including the 10000 Immortal Coins given as a gift by her master, which is definitely not enough.

"We need to make money."

"I'll have to put in some hard work refining pills in the vast ocean."

Compared to weapon crafting, alchemy is more suitable. After all, Zhenhai Realm has plenty of spiritual herbs, so there are enough materials.

There was simply no suitable prescription.

He sent a message in the channel:

"Fellow senior brothers and sisters, I would like to purchase some pill formulas that are in high demand. Do you have any recommendations?"

There was a quick response in the channel:

"Has Brother Su Yu already joined our sect?"

"I have already joined the Heavenly Punishment lineage, and my master is Ye Lingfeng."

Shi Ming praised:

"So it's the deputy hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall. Not bad. The deputy hall master is a rising star among the immortals of our sect, and his strength is also in the first tier. It would be great to become his disciple."

"You're buying the elixir formula to make money, right?"

"Yes."

"As far as I know, there aren't many money-making pill formulas now. The most common ones are: Grade 4 Low-grade Hundred Beast Spirit Pill, used to restore qi and blood; Grade 4 Low-grade Purple Gold Jade Dew Pill, used to restore mana; Grade 4 Mid-grade Creation Great Restoration Pill, used to restore severed limbs and repair physical injuries; and Grade 4 High-grade Primordial Chaos Protector Pill, used to protect the primordial spirit."

"There is a fourth-grade superior pill formula called the Thousand Souls and Myriad Spirits Pill, which is used to temporarily strengthen the soul and has a miraculous effect on overcoming inner demon tribulations."

"The fourth-grade top-quality pill formula, Purple Mansion Heavenly Origin Pill, is used to improve cultivation. It is the most popular and can be said to be in short supply. However, the pill formula is rare, and alchemy masters who can refine it are not common."

"The Fifth-Rank Supreme Pill Formula: Demon Saint Pill, one of the essential pills for overcoming the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Man."

"If you want to make money, just specify these few pill formulas."

"I understand."

"I'll go to the outer immortal city later to see if there are any suitable pill formulas."

Shi Ming added:

"You can also exchange them within the sect. The sect has the formulas for these pills, but you need sect contributions and merits. You can take on some sect missions to accumulate contributions, and once you have enough, you can exchange them."

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother."

"polite!"

An hour later, a streak of light left the sect and headed straight for Xuanqing Immortal City outside the sect.

After browsing the market, I quickly found several prescriptions.

Both the recipes for the Hundred Beasts Elixir and the Purple Gold Jade Dew Elixir are priced at 20 Immortal Coins each.

Both of these are common restorative pills that replenish qi and blood and mana, generally used by Earth Immortals. They are priced at 1 Immortal Coin for a set of 10 pills. They are in very high demand, needed by both players and native cultivators. Once they are refined, they are guaranteed to sell.

Su Yu glanced at the pill formula and decided against the Hundred Beast Spirit Pill, as it required the essence blood of over 200 kinds of demonic beasts known for their vital energy and blood to refine the pill, making the materials troublesome.

On the contrary, most of the materials needed for the Purple Gold Jade Dew Pill can be found in Zhenhai Pearl and are grown in large quantities. Only one herb called Fairy Dew Grass is not found in Zhenhai Pearl and needs to be transplanted and cultivated.

This is a minor issue, not the main ingredient; its medicinal effects over a century are sufficient for inclusion in the elixir.

One year in reality is equivalent to a hundred years in Zhenhai Realm; one year is enough for alchemy.

In addition, Su Yu himself possessed the formula for the Great Rejuvenation Pill.

"Wow, this formula is so expensive?"

At a top-tier business guild, Su Yu saw the recipe for the Purple Mansion Heavenly Origin Pill, but the price was as high as 5000 Immortal Coins, while the finished pill cost 10 Immortal Coins each.

"purchase!"

This is even more in demand than the regular Zijin Yulu Dan, with very few remaining on the market; they all need to be ordered in advance.

Once you've mastered it, you'll have a steady stream of income.

Moreover, these pills that enhance cultivation can be used by oneself.

He decisively spent 5000 immortal coins to buy the pill formula, and then spent 5 immortal coins per fruit to buy 1000 Heavenly Origin Immortal Fruits in one go. These are the main ingredients for refining the Purple Mansion Heavenly Origin Pill.

One pill costs 5 Immortal Coins. One batch requires 3 Heavenly Origin Immortal Fruits, plus other spiritual materials worth more than ten Immortal Coins. One batch produces 3-9 pills.

This means that as long as you can successfully refine it, you can break even; every extra pill is a profit, and the more pills you refine, the more you earn.

1000 Heavenly Origin Immortal Fruits are worth 5000 Immortal Coins, and the pill recipe cost an additional 10000 Immortal Coins, leaving Su Yu with only 7190 Immortal Coins.

These 1000 Heavenly Origin Immortal Fruits were not used for alchemy, but were all given to Canghai to plant in the core area of ​​Zhenhai Pearl, to plant 1000 Heavenly Origin Immortal Fruit trees first.

The sea extracts the innate energy and origin from the Zhenhai Realm, resulting in an extremely high survival rate for various rare and precious materials.

Each of the 1000 Heavenly Origin Immortal Fruit Trees takes a hundred years to flower, a hundred years to bear fruit, and a hundred years to mature. They will flower and bear fruit again after three years. Even if you don't refine pills, just selling the immortal fruits will guarantee a profit.

In addition to the Heavenly Origin Immortal Fruit, Su Yu also spent a total of 1258 Immortal Coins to purchase a large batch of three kinds of pills, as well as some seeds of spiritual herbs and immortal medicines that might be needed, and transplanted them all into the Zhenhai Realm.

"At most three years, we can achieve complete material freedom."

After spending all the money, Su Yu only had 5932 immortal coins left.

"We'll have to be more careful with our spending for the next three years."

Su Yu rubbed her teeth and turned to return to her sect.

Upon returning to the sect, Su Yu first visited several members of her clan, and then stayed on Red Jade Peak to cultivate.
