Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 321 The Great Formation Changes Hands, Abundant Harvest

Su Yu flew to the Celestial Puppet, reached out and opened the Zhenhai Realm Gate, pulling Canghai out, and asked:

"Could you imbue this puppet with a new will?"

She raised her beautiful eyes to look over, then shook her head slightly and said:

"The gap between the Celestial Immortal and Earthly Immortal realms is too great, so I can't do it now. But I should be able to do it once I have time to study it properly."

"We'll talk about that when you have time. For now, let's master this formation."

"Ok."

Canghai flew to the center of the formation and hovered in the air. After pondering for a moment, he reached out and waved his hand, sending a burst of magical power into the formation.

As she continuously channeled her magical power into the array, the enormous core began to glow, its surface radiating a spiritual light, and the speed at which spiritual power was transmitted within the array patterns visibly increased.

This is reflected in the entire protective array, where the array's natural recovery speed has greatly increased. Originally, it recovered 50 defensive units per second, but now it has increased to 80 units per second.

As she continuously channeled her magic power and gradually mastered the grand formation, Su Yu suddenly sensed something and arrived at the edge of one of the windows of the tower. Looking down from above, she saw that many previously unactivated grand formations within the mansion were now glowing with spiritual light, and beams of light shot into the sky and merged into the formation's barrier, causing the barrier's defensive capacity to increase rapidly.

"what happened?"

"The formation's defensive capabilities seem to be recovering faster."

Outside the great formation, more than two hundred cultivators from various races continued their fierce attack, but some with keen senses had already noticed something was wrong.

"It has indeed sped up a lot, and..."

A person with clairvoyance looked up at the great formation and said with an extremely solemn expression:

"I can't see the innermost part, but I can vaguely sense that the great formation seems to be activating."

"That's impossible. If there were still living people inside, it would have been opened long ago. It's impossible for it to have waited until now."

"Is it possible that someone secretly sneaked in and activated it?"

"How is this possible? This is a fourth-order immortal array. It can only be opened by breaking through at least a fifth-order spatial law or an equivalent special power. The highest level present is third-order. How can it be two orders higher?"

"Our cultivation level isn't high enough, but what about a high-grade immortal treasure?"

"This"

The two looked up at the constantly flashing lights within the great formation, and one of them gritted his teeth and said:

"Whether it's the ancient people sleeping inside awakening or someone sneaking in, the sect's protective formation has definitely been activated. We can't break through it with our strength. Let's go back and contact the celestial immortals from various sects to come over."

"It is better to be taken by one's own kind than by a foreign one."

But the other person with the third eye shook his head and said:

"I feel like it might be too late."

"We have to do it, whether there's enough time or not."

"it's the only way."

"Buzz!"

As Canghai fully mastered the grand formation, the massive spiritual energy drawn from the underground spiritual veins was transformed into mana through the formation. This mana then passed through each node of the formation and became pillars of spiritual energy that shot into the sky and poured into the formation. The defensive power of the sect-protecting formation, which had just lost more than 5 billion units, was quickly restored.

With ample spiritual energy infusion, it can restore a full 100 million defenses per second.

In less than a minute, the efforts of more than 200 people from various ethnic groups outside, which had lasted for nearly an hour, were all in vain.

"Damn, the great formation has really been activated, and there's already an owner inside."

One of the people with the ability to see clearly slammed his fist into his palm, filled with anger but also helpless.

Regardless of the anger and resentment of the various tribes, and how they responded, Su Yu, having fully grasped the city-protecting formation in Canghai, immediately turned to collect the treasures in this separate mansion.

He summoned all four women, and they went off separately to collect [something].

He collected the central giant tower, while the four women went to many surrounding towers.

The core control center of the grand formation is on the ninety-ninth floor, but there is a hundredth floor above it, which is the residence of the master of this separate mansion.

He placed his hand on the barrier light screen at the entrance to the hundredth floor and passed directly through it, a barrier that even celestial beings would find difficult to penetrate.

Upon entering, one sees a figure sitting upright on a bright yellow prayer mat in the center.

The figure was draped in a pure white robe, still radiating celestial light, clearly an celestial garment. In front of him was a jade table with three items on it.

His gaze fell upon the figure, and its attributes immediately became apparent.

True Immortal Remains: The remains of a true immortal who has exhausted his lifespan and passed away peacefully. After hundreds of thousands of years of corrosion, the remains have lost all their immortal nature.

"Pity."

Having lost its immortal nature, this body is no longer valuable and cannot be used to create an external avatar or anything like that.

Su Yu arrived before the remains of the True Immortal, clasped his hands together, and bowed:
"Junior Su Yu is willing to collect the body of the senior."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle breeze blew by, and the remains turned to dust, swirling in the air. Su Yu stood solemnly and immediately took out a spirit gourd, opened it, and the ashes swirled into the gourd.

Only a robe and a ring were left behind.

He reached out and picked up the robe and ring, their attributes immediately appearing before him.

Flying Immortal Robe (Low-Grade Immortal Robe): A robe woven from celestial cloud brocade and celestial silkworm silk.

It shelters from wind, dust, and poison, and isolates from Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the primordial magnetic energy.

Isolated from the world: When activated, it greatly reduces one's presence; the switch can be toggled freely.

Transcending the Three Realms: Once activated, you will transcend the Three Realms and be outside the Five Elements. You will not be detected by beings of the Xuanxian level or below. During this period, you will not suffer any damage. The duration is 120 seconds and the cooldown is 3 days.

Immortal Light Protection: When receiving predetermined damage or activating Immortal Light Protection on your own, the Immortal Light provides 50 billion defense, reduces damage by 50%, and increases defense strength by 20 (passive) for 30 minutes. Cooldown time is 24 hours.

"Damn, this is good stuff."

Su Yu is currently only equipped with a seventh-grade magic robe. Above that are eighth-grade, ninth-grade, tenth-grade, and low-grade immortal robes, a total of four grades in between.

"It's done in one step."

Su Yu couldn't wait to put on the fairy robes, replacing her original golden feather robes.

Then pick up the ring, and its attributes will become apparent.

Exquisite Immortal Ring (Low-Grade Immortal Ring): A precious ring crafted from the finest exquisite immortal stone, containing magical power.

Seven Apertures Exquisite: Magic Item Slot +7.

Exquisite Space: Contains a 10000 square kilometer pet space where you can store your pets and mounts, accelerating their recovery speed.

"this."

"Something is neither here nor there."

It might be very useful to others, but it's useless to him because he has enough slots for magic items.

The Fighting True Form has four heads and eight arms, which adds eight extra slots to his magic weapon inventory, and several of them are still empty.

However, it's a celestial ring after all, much better than the one he has on him, so he'll equip it for now.

After putting away the two items, Su Yu's gaze fell on the jade table in front of the unknown True Immortal. There were three items on it: a jade box, a gourd, and a command token.

He first picked up the jade box, a special magical artifact containing 100 independent compartments, each about 100 acres in size, which could be used to store various spiritual items.

This is no ordinary storage treasure; it is a rare treasure that possesses its own time law. Time flows stagnant within the jade box, allowing the living things stored inside to remain active indefinitely.

Su Yu opened the jade box, and most of the 100 compartments inside were already filled with things, mostly seeds of various rare immortal herbs, at least fifth-grade or higher immortal herbs, with fourteen sixth-grade immortal herbs and two kinds of spiritual root seeds at the very back.

What surprised Su Yu the most was one of the Five Elements True Meaning Immortal Trees. This was a spiritual root that could bear the True Meaning Immortal Fruit of the Five Elements Great Dao Laws.

"nice one."

Su Yu decisively put the treasure box away, and after finishing this matter, he would have Canghai move all the top-grade natural treasures inside into Zhenhai Realm to be planted.

It's worth mentioning that, in addition to its storage function, this jade box also comes with a set of Lingnong's inheritance from the Hundred Arts of Cultivation.

To be precise, it is the Immortal Farmer's Inheritance. In addition to a set of Qi Refining techniques, it also includes many secret techniques and supernatural abilities for Immortal Farmers. This set of inheritances is of extremely high quality, pointing directly to the Xuanxian level. Theoretically, it can cultivate a Xuanxian-level Immortal Farmer.

Unfortunately, this is not the original sample and can only be used once.

Then came the second gourd, which contained a gourd of holy water for restoring life, with only 8 drops.

The Holy Water of Rejuvenation is the most precious treasure for all kinds of rare and precious materials. No matter how severe the injury to any rare and precious material, as long as a drop is applied, it can be restored immediately. Even if it is struck by lightning and only a small bud remains, a drop of water can bring it back to life and make it grow again.

Finally, there was a token, which was the identity token of this separate residence. Holding it allowed one to control all the restrictions and puppets in the entire residence, including the sect's protective formation.

Refining the token unlocked all the restrictions on the rooms and items on this floor. He immediately ransacked the entire floor and found a lot of good stuff in a wardrobe that was sealed by a powerful restriction, including seven tenth-tier magic treasures that had lost their spirituality and needed to be reforged.

A tenth-tier magic weapon is a good thing for Su Yu's cultivation level, but it is of little use to a true immortal, so he did not carry it with him.

Unfortunately, too much time has passed, and the magic weapon's spiritual essence has been lost, requiring it to be refined again.

This can be given to Canghai; she is now a master weapon refiner.

After the furnace is completed, each of the four women will be able to possess a tenth-tier magic weapon.

After looting everything, Su Yu went down to the ninety-ninth floor, took control of the large array that Cang Hai had already mastered, and fully activated the array.

The fully activated array's defensive power soared, doubling to 50 billion, while still maintaining 60% damage reduction and 500 defense strength. The array's normal recovery speed increased from 20 per second to 100 million per second.

Once attacked, the normal recovery rate will become 500 million per second.

If one actively draws upon the earth's spiritual energy and converts it into mana, the recovery rate can reach up to 1 million per second.

In addition to these, the activation of the grand formation also brings various other characteristics, namely—

The space is sealed off, including prohibiting flight, teleportation, and escape techniques.

Remove buffs; remove all buff spells and abilities.

Break through concealment, break through all concealment spells and supernatural powers.

Suppress the space, actively open the confinement space.

In addition, there are twelve powerful single-target immortal techniques with the power of immortals, three powerful group immortal techniques, and three powerful defensive immortal techniques.

Simply defending is certainly not enough to withstand the long-term siege of more than a dozen immortals. The key to defeating the besieging immortals is to use the sect's protective formation to extract a massive amount of fifth-order spiritual power and combine it into a powerful immortal technique.

These powerful immortal techniques draw upon the immense spiritual power of fifth-tier spiritual veins and form immortal techniques based on a massive sect-protecting array. Their power is extremely exaggerated; even an immortal could be instantly killed if they are careless.

With the grand formation fully activated, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He left Canghai to continue overseeing the operation while he descended to the ninety-eighth floor and began to plunder each floor one by one.

Some floors don't contain anything good, while others do, including many high-grade eighth and ninth-tier magic treasures, as well as some unopened puppets in stock.

The combat-type characters are all above level 250, while the non-combat-type characters are just around level 200.

Su Yu didn't care whether it was good or bad and put it away first, planning to have Canghai refine the demon soul as a puppet's spiritual consciousness to restart it later. Searching all the way to the eightieth floor, Su Yu discovered the remains of a celestial being and two celestial puppets.

The remains of this celestial being were one of the important leaders of this villa. He was a puppet master, and Su Yu discovered a complete set of mechanical puppetry techniques here, which included a complete set of puppet-making methods and matching mechanical magic weapons from the first grade to the true immortal level.

The reason this villa doesn't have any True Immortal-level puppets is because it lacks the materials.

The materials required for a True Immortal-level puppet are too precious; even immortals might not be able to gather them all.

Su Yu took a look and found that the two most essential items were a True Immortal-level Demon Lord's physical body and a True Immortal-level Demon Soul.

Killing a True Immortal-level Demon Lord is difficult enough, but to preserve the complete physical body and demon soul is something even a Mystic Immortal might not be able to do.

It took a full three hours to loot all one hundred floors of the central tower. The haul was huge, but not as high as I had imagined.

Because the head of this separate prefecture is responsible for controlling all the spiritual fields and medicinal fields in this large area of ​​the cave heaven. He is mainly responsible for planting various spiritual herbs and harvesting various spiritual herbs and immortal medicines. Unlike spiritual mines, which can exist indefinitely, these things are not durable for storage. After hundreds of thousands of years, almost all the stored spiritual herbs and immortal medicines have turned to ash.

The huge warehouses were all empty, with only a thin layer of black ash indicating their existence.

Fortunately, there were a large number of spirit puppets above level 200 inside. Su Yu scanned the entire formation and found a total of 4582, all of which were above level 200. The value of these puppets alone was 20,000 to 30,000 immortal coins.

The soul within the spirit puppet has been annihilated; if it were intact, it would be worth 50,000 immortal coins.

Besides the spirit puppets, there are hundreds of millions of acres of spirit fields and medicinal fields outside the villa. Among the freely growing spirit herbs and immortal medicines there are many of extremely valuable ones, which add up to no less than 20,000 immortal coins.

It took three whole days to finish looting, but Su Yu didn't leave. Instead, she stayed inside the formation to wait, and also sent a message in the regional channel:
"I have taken over this villa and completely controlled the sect's protective array. This array is of the fourth-grade upper level and has been fully repaired. It contains a fifth-grade lower level spiritual vein, which is enough to fully exert the array's defensive power. The villa contains hundreds of millions of acres of spiritual fields and medicinal fields, which is enough to serve as a Daoist temple for immortals."

"This temple is now for sale, priced at 30,000 Immortal Coins. Those interested may contact us."

The message had been sent for less than a second when Li Wenbin responded:

"Su Yu? You're the one who's taken over this villa?"

"Yes."

"Great!"

"However, each clan has already invited their own Celestial Immortal-level experts to come, and they are already on their way. There will be no fewer than ten Celestial Immortals besieging the formation. Do you think you can withstand them?"

"can."

"Then you must hold on. Only if you can hold them off will anyone want you."

"no problem."

Su Yu turned off the communication, turned around and smiled at Cang Hai, full of confidence.

The fully activated fourth-tier superior sect-protecting formation, powered by a fifth-tier spiritual vein and with Canghai overseeing it, can unleash its full power. Not to mention resisting, if these celestial immortals are even slightly careless, some of them might even die here.

"We'll hold out for a few days, then sell this dojo, and that'll make this trip complete."

He's not worried at all about whether anyone wants him; he's sure someone will.

This is a fully constructed protective formation for the sect. Everything is already in place. All that's needed is to complete the handover so that we can have a Daoist temple that can be passed down for ten thousand years.

If Su Yu's cultivation level weren't so low, and if he didn't have the Zhenhai Pearl as his personal training ground, he definitely wouldn't have sold it.

Time passed, and in less than two days, an immortal arrived.

A streak of light appeared on the dome of the sect's protective array, revealing a primordial spirit dharma image that was even taller than the entire dojo. With a sharp eye between his brows, he was clearly a Heavenly Eye Immortal. He looked down at the dojo like a giant reaching the heavens, and his sharp gaze pierced through the array to see Su Yu.

"Two humans?"

The man with the third eye grinned and pressed down with his palm.

"boom!"

A colossal hand, measured in kilometers, slammed down on the array's light barrier, unleashing a violent shockwave that forced the array to slump slightly.

"Hmm? The grand formation has been fully mastered?"

The man with the Heavenly Eye's expression changed:
"not good."

Without hesitation, they created distance, but at this moment, Canghai had already activated the special feature of the great formation—spatial locking.

An invisible wave swept across, reaching a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye. Wherever it went, space solidified. The Heavenly Eye Immortal was also caught in it and retreated rapidly, but after flying only a thousand kilometers, he became deeply mired in the spatial quagmire and could not move.

Immediately afterwards, the sky brightened, and nine points of light appeared out of thin air, frantically devouring the energy of heaven and earth like black holes and transforming into nine fireballs that resembled the sun.

One of the three most powerful bursting immortal techniques of the Great Array—Nine Suns Across the Sky.

The spiritual energy stored in the countless array eyes of the grand array, which covered a diameter of thousands of kilometers, was simultaneously extracted and transformed by the array, condensing into nine fiery meteors several kilometers in diameter that hung in the sky above the array, locking onto the Heavenly Eye Immortal and striking him directly down.

"boom!"

As the nine suns bombarded down in turn, the enormous celestial spirit dharma form twisted violently.

The nine stars in a row were destroyed one after another, and the aura of the Celestial Immortal's primordial spirit and Dharma form plummeted, but it stubbornly withstood the blow.

But before he could catch his breath, a radiant light rose from the great formation, condensing into a phantom of a goddess. With a clench of her hands, she conjured a celestial sword tens of kilometers long and slashed down.

"No!"

With a roar of resentment, the Heavenly Eye Man's primordial spirit was split in two.

A celestial being was thus slain.

"This formation is incredibly powerful."

Meanwhile, thousands of kilometers away in the void, two human celestial beings stood, one of them nodding in satisfaction and saying:
"This formation is quite powerful, capable of easily slaying an immortal. In addition, the location of the training ground is excellent, and all the facilities are complete. It can be put to use immediately after purchase. The price of 30,000 immortal coins is reasonable."

Another immortal's extraordinary path:

"Brother Li, you want to buy it?"

"I have this idea."

"Thirty thousand immortal coins is too expensive. This kid is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. I estimate that he has already earned no less than one hundred thousand immortal coins from this trip."

The immortal surnamed Li glanced at his companion with surprise and said:

"His ability to seize a Dao field right under the noses of hundreds of Golden Core cultivators from various races is truly remarkable."

The immortal surnamed Li raised an eyebrow and said in a half-warning tone:
"Brother Zhang, we're all from the same clan, so please don't have any ulterior motives."

Another immortal chuckled and waved his hand, saying:

"As a celestial being, I would never do such a thing, but my envy and jealousy are real."

"Haha, you know what, I'd be envious too. I've worked hard for tens of thousands of years and I probably don't have as much money as he made on this trip."

The immortal surnamed Li smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"Let's go, before the other immortals arrive, let's complete the transaction first."

"Walk."

The two immortals vanished in a flash, reappearing outside the sect's protective formation. The immortal surnamed Li shouted loudly:
"I, Li An, have come to purchase this temple."

A flash of light appeared within the great formation, and Su Yu's figure appeared at the edge. He glanced at the two people and confirmed that they were both human immortals. With a wave of his hand, the great formation opened a gate of light, and the two figures flashed in. Immediately, a powerful pressure rushed towards them.

Su Yu remained motionless, her expression calm as she cupped her hands and said:

"Su Yu greets the two seniors."

"This dojo has complete internal facilities, a well-preserved protective array, a fifth-grade low-level spiritual vein underground, and a fourth-grade high-level protective array. With an immortal presiding over it, it can repel the attack of ten celestial immortals. As a dojo, it can be passed down for ten thousand years."

Ang Lee nodded and said:
"It's really good, but 30,000 Immortal Coins is too expensive. Can you give me a discount?"

Su Yu explained with a smile:
"This dojo should be the core of this fragment of the cave heaven. In the future, we can also set up an array at the entrance of the cave heaven to seal it off and make this vast cave heaven our private property. Thirty thousand immortal coins is definitely not expensive."

At this moment, another immortal, Zhang Yeyun, suddenly asked:
"May I ask how you entered this grotto-heaven? Do you possess a magical treasure or a secret technique capable of breaking the restrictions?"

With a thought, Su Yu transformed into a crimson dragon and soared into the sky. A pressure belonging to the Celestial Immortal level swept over, causing the two immortals to suddenly realize the truth.

"So that's it."

Su Yu didn't explain directly, and the two immortals didn't ask anything further after seeing the Crimson Dragon transform. Li An simply agreed:

"I'll take it for 30,000 Immortal Coins."

"You are very generous, senior."

The next step was to exchange money for the control jade talisman.

Li An took the jade talisman to take over the sect's protective formation, while Su Yu quickly left with Cang Hai.

Everything went very smoothly. He displayed celestial-level combat power, and the two immortals didn't say a word.

He flew out of the formation, immediately activated his immortal robes and immortal light to protect himself, and used the Great Teleportation Technique of the Crimson Jade Immortal Talisman to teleport back to his sect in one go.

"Cool!"

Back at her residence, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

This trip yielded results beyond his expectations, with a total income of over 100,000 immortal coins, making him instantly rich.

You have to understand that when he came from Blue Mountain, all the resources he brought from the guild only amounted to a little over 20,000 Immortal Coins. Now he has more than 100,000 Immortal Coins. Even a Celestial Immortal might not have his wealth.

"go to bed!"

I don't want to think about anything, I just want to lie down and sleep.

He didn't begin to tally up his gains until he woke up the next day.

Thirty thousand sen coins.

Low-grade flying immortal robes.

Low-grade Immortal Ring - Exquisite Immortal Ring.

The Time Capsule contains a large number of fifth-tier immortal herbs, 14 kinds of sixth-tier immortal herbs, 2 kinds of spiritual root seeds, and a set of immortal farmer inheritance that leads directly to the Xuanxian realm.

A set of mechanical arts inheritance that leads directly to the level of True Immortal, including the methods for crafting puppets of the first rank to True Immortal level and many mechanical spells.

A gourd of revitalizing holy water, containing 8 drops.

The seven tenth-tier magic treasures, whose spiritual essence has been extinguished, need to be reforged and refined by Canghai.

The three Celestial Immortal-level mechanical puppets can only be used if a Celestial Immortal-level demon soul or primordial spirit is used to reshape the soul.

There are 4582 mechanical puppets, each over level 200, two-thirds of which are non-combat type and one-third are combat type, with a total value of approximately 30,000 Immortal Coins.

The large quantity of spiritual herbs and elixirs of varying grades, combined with what they had gathered along the way, was worth no less than 20,000 immortal coins.

I mined a Purple Flame Glazed Refined Gold Mine. After removing all the impurities, its total value is approximately 4300 Immortal Coins.
