Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 119 I'm Here to Do Business

"I'm already invincible, but I can become even more invincible! There's a mission in the little hall. There's no rush to refine this five-star flying insect sword. I can keep farming it, farming as many as I can... Earth deities have six-star ones, I wonder if weapons also have six-star ones."

Lu Chaoding silently made a summary.

Soon, he discovered that his cave dwelling courtyard had changed. A stone path in the middle connected the Heavenly Eight Trigrams Furnace to the cultivation room behind it. Two "vegetable gardens" had been cultivated on both sides of the path, with plants and spirits neatly planted in them. The Boiling Blood Lion Dog could no longer play with the spirit plants. It had been tamed by the Spirit Fruit and was now drooping its head, carrying the Spirit Fruit as it wandered around the courtyard.

The comprehensive service NPC Niu Daren was standing next to the Tianxing Bagua Furnace, with four dark gold gourds about half a person's height beside him. Lu Chaoding knew that they were the two-star back item [Mysterious Gold Wine Gourd].

Lu Chao looked around more carefully and saw a large stone next to the small pond on the far right of the courtyard. The stone had the three characters "Qingjiao Tan" written on it. There was also a stone next to the small pond on the left, which had the words "Aolong Chi" written on it. The little clam spirit of the earth god was placed on that stone.

Clearly, all these changes were caused by the Spirit Fruit.

Lingqi Guo spotted Lu Chaoding, rode his Boiling Blood Lion Dog over, and said, "Junior Brother, you need to open a pill room or storage room. Xiao Rou and Xiao Mei have produced pills. I can collect them, but there's nowhere to store them."

"Xiaorou, Xiaomei?" Lu Chao scratched his head. "Who are they?"

"These are the Earthly Deities plants, look!" Lingqi Fruit pointed to the vegetable gardens on both sides and continued, "I've given them all names, and they're all very obedient! Also, this lion dog is called Agou, the Moon Shadow Azure Dragon of Azure Dragon Pool is called Xiaoqing, and the Ao Dragon King of Ao Dragon Pool is called Da'ao!"

"You really are... incredibly bored!"

Lu Chaoding gave the Spirit Fruit a thumbs up. After thinking about the matter of opening a pill room mentioned by him, Lu Chaoding did as he was told. He not only opened a pill room, but also a kitchen, which consumed a total of 400 points of spiritual energy.

The level of a cave dwelling is unlocked through the spiritual energy index. Once unlocked, it will not drop. Lu Chaoding is now willing to spend spiritual energy index. With the mission hall, a god-level building that allows him to take off from the spot, he can easily increase his spiritual energy index by modifying missions and farming local deities.

After chatting with the spirit fruit for a while, Lu Chao stepped forward to collect the Xuanjin Wine Gourd.

The Mysterious Sword Wine Gourd is a universal backpack item. Named after a wine gourd, it has unique functions. It can store 30 catties of wine and has the ability to automatically brew wine, producing two catties of strong liquor every day. If the "Wine Sword Immortal" class equips the Mysterious Gold Wine Gourd, the gourd can activate two abilities: one is to replace the flying sword as a flying tool, and the other is to inflict a drunken mist on the attack, applying a negative status effect to the enemy.

"Is this the exclusive back accessory for the Drunken Sword Immortal?"

Lu Chao shook his head, feeling that the Xuanjin Wine Gourd was of no use to him.

A moment later, Lu Chaoding stored some of the pills he had obtained in the Universe Secret Realm in the alchemy room.

He doesn't need medicine much now; he basically doesn't need things like Invigorating Pills. He just needs to carry some Blood-Replenishing Pills with him. Of course, he carries all the pills that can increase cultivation, like Nourishing Essence Pills, with him, treating them like candy.

Lu Chaoding also went to the kitchen.

The kitchen is fully equipped with all kinds of cooking utensils, and the operation is very simple. There are also various seasonings, and the storage is unlimited. If Lu Chaoding wanted, he could cook here.

"Cooking is out of the question. I don't have the time. Now is not the time to enjoy myself. Keep it simple, just enough to fill my stomach!"

Lu Chaoding shook his head. He put most of the ingredients in the kitchen and only carried a small amount of compressed biscuits, beef jerky, and water with him.

A moment later, Lu Chao entered his exclusive materials dungeon and went to sleep.

When he woke up the next day, he used up most of the Qi-Nourishing Pills, Great Qi-Nourishing Pills, and cultivation insights, and finally raised his level to LV21!

"Ding! Congratulations on leveling up to LV21! Health +400, Attack +40, Battle Spirit Max +2, Available Cultivation Max +1000!"

"Ding! Your ten professional traits have been enhanced. Please check the details yourself!"

"Ding! Main quest activated: Level up to LV30. World map unlocked upon completion!"

"Ding! The occasionally unreliable system has been activated, updating the tracking mission and altering its content: Level increased to LV60, mission completion unlocks the world map."

"Level 60? World map unlocked?"

Lu Chao muttered something to himself. He didn't care much about the main quest. After leaving the material dungeon, he quickly washed up, ate a few bites of compressed biscuits, and then left his private cave with Ao Longwang and Yueying Qingjiao.

These two Earth Deities have not yet been upgraded, so they are unbound and can be traded.

Lu Chaoding's plan for today is to summon some local spirits.

Soon, Lu Chaoding found Zhang Defa.

This guy was being chased and beaten by a player carrying a treasure chest and wielding nunchucks.

Lu Chaoding's eyes lit up. He recognized the player equipped with the treasure chest back accessory as his opponent from the virtual duel, Sword Saint Song Shu!

The nunchucks used by Song Shu were actually just accessories. Since sword cultivators don't engage in combat without using their swords, Song Shu used his nunchucks to huff and puff, making Zhang Defa run away with his head in his hands. However, the two still didn't enter the combat space.

"So you're Defa? The Tree-Planting Elder? The Big Streamer? You're only Level 1, what are you pretending to be?" Song Shu roared arrogantly. "Summon your sect leader out here, I need to speak with him!"

Zhang Defa looked rather dejected, with dark circles under his eyes. He said aggrievedly, "Brother Ding is like a dragon, appearing and disappearing without a trace. I don't know where he is either. Besides, if you're looking for him, then go find him. Why are you hitting me? I haven't offended you. You're beating an elder; that's insubordination, you know! Ouch, if you hit me again, I'll fight back..."

Song Shudao said, "What do you mean by insubordination? Look carefully, I'm not from any of your reliable sword sects. I'm unaffiliated with any sect, I'm a free agent!"

"Without a sect or a faction, wouldn't that make you a rogue cultivator?"

"Huh, it really is!"

"Brother who wields a staff, how come you don't belong to a sect?"

"Yes, how did you manage that? Did you swim out to sea instead of taking a big ship?"

"Elder Defa, why don't you fight back? Taking this beating is a disgrace to our sect..."

There were many players watching from the sidelines, all of them amused. They didn't seem to care much about Zhang Defa being beaten, but instead, they asked him questions out of curiosity.

"Want to be absolved of all sects? It's simple! Just take a boat and jump off when you're almost out of the beginner village!" Song Shu cupped his hands to the crowd around him. "I'm here at your sect's base to do business. Who knows where your sect leader is?"

"You're not a disciple of our sect, yet you dare to come here and assault one of our elders! Brother, are you here to cause trouble?"

Lu Chaoding spoke up, revealing his title as "Reliable Sword Sect Leader".

Everyone immediately turned to look at him. When Zhang Defa saw Lu Chaoding arrive, he was overjoyed, as if he had seen a savior. He quickly ran to Lu Chaoding's side and said, "Brother Ding, get him, kill him!"

Song Shu also saw Lu Chaoding at this moment. He let out a soft exclamation and frowned, saying, "It's you!"

Clearly, this guy also recognized Lu Chaoding.

Lu Chao retorted, "That's right, it's me!"

"Sect Leader Lu, please don't misunderstand, I'm here to do business!" Song Shu grinned, hanging his nunchucks at his waist. "I didn't expect you to be the number one on all three lists, the famous Lu Chaoding. Tsk tsk tsk, I have a blueprint for the Sword Debate Platform here, won in a lottery. It's a sect item, I'll sell it to you!"

As they were talking, Song Shu opened his storage space, took out a scroll, and handed it to Lu Chao.

Lu Chao looked closely and realized it really was the blueprint for the Sword Debate Platform.

[Building Blueprint for the Sword Debate Arena: A special item, a sect item, usable only by the sect leader. After use, it allows the construction of a Sword Debate Arena at a designated location within the sect's territory. Players can participate in sword duels on the arena. Completing a duel on the arena will grant players a certain amount of cultivation points and a small chance of obtaining a skill upgrade jade talisman. There is no penalty for death.]

"Selling things!"

Lu Chao took the construction blueprints for the Sword Debate Platform without hesitation and asked directly, "How much do you plan to sell it for? How many gold coins?"

"5000 yuan!" Song Shu spread out one palm. "How about that? Not expensive, right? I can also give you an important piece of information for free."
