Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 120 Cave Abode Advancement to LV4 (Please Subscribe)

"5000 yuan per drawing?"

Lu Chao thought to himself that the price was really not high. This Sword Debate Platform was basically an arena, where you could fight and compete and even gain cultivation points. It combined leisure and entertainment with cultivation and becoming stronger. For ordinary players, it should be a pretty good building. You could buy it for 5000 yuan, which was a great deal.

He laughed and said, "Sure!"

After saying this, Lu Chaoding took out gold coins and completed the transaction with Song Shu.

Throughout the transaction, Song Shu smiled. After the deal was completed, he cupped his hands to Lu Chao and said, "Master Lu is indeed straightforward. As promised, I will share some important information with you. I wonder if Master Lu knows that there is a Qian Yuan Island 30 miles to your east."

"I don't know!"

"Then this information is even more important to you. Listen to me, Qian Yuan Island is a large pirate stronghold. Your sect's base is so close to a pirate stronghold, which is not a good thing. If Sect Leader Lu trusts me..."

Lu Chao waved his hand to interrupt Song Shu, saying, "Why isn't it a good thing? I think it's a good thing. We can go into the jungle to farm as soon as we leave our house. What's wrong with that?"

Song Shu scratched his head and said, "Those pirates are stronger!"

"Isn't it better if they're stronger? Ideally, they'd all be bosses!"

"No, I mean, the pirates on Qian Yuan Island might take the initiative to attack you. Sect Leader Lu doesn't want the sect's headquarters to be taken over by the pirates, does he?"

"Hmm, you mean those monsters will actually come to us, so we don't even have to go out? That's so humane?"

"They're pirates, brother!" Song Shu stamped his foot. "Let me be blunt. I see that Master Lu's forces are strong and well-equipped, and they have large patrol ships. Why don't we send troops to attack Qian Yuan Island and wipe out all the pirates? I'm willing to lead the way. What do you think?"

Lu Chao retorted, "That wouldn't be appropriate. They haven't even come to attack me; we have no grudge against each other. If I go and raid their stronghold, wouldn't I be even more of a bandit than a bandit? I'm a peace-loving person; I won't attack unless attacked!"

"Brother, they're pirates, they're monsters! Are you going to talk to them about morality? Just wipe them out, get the treasures, and gain cultivation points—isn't that better?"

"That makes sense!" Lu Chao nodded. "I'll go take a look when I have time!"

Song Shu was getting impatient: "Time is money, why don't we go now? Use your patrol ships, bring a hundred or so skilled men, and I'll lead the way!"

"We're too busy right now. Besides, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. I think we shouldn't rush things. It's better to understand the situation before sending troops. Let's leave it at that!"

Lu Chao flicked his sleeve. He could tell that Song Shu had come to borrow troops. He probably had some information about Qian Yuan Island, but he couldn't take it, so he came to find help, or perhaps he had other purposes.

Lu Chao didn't care about Qian Yuan Island at all. Fighting pirates was nothing compared to the rewards of completing missions. It was better to leave the island untouched than to travel dozens of miles away to hunt in the wild.

However, Lu Chaoding also felt that he should check the map. Right now, he knew absolutely nothing about the environment and power distribution around Hongchen Seven Realms Mountain, or what the situation was on land. He didn't even know if this sea area had a name. That's not true.

"Maybe I should level up to 60 as soon as possible and unlock the world map? Other people can unlock the world map at level 30. This unreliable system is messing with me. I have to reach level 60..."

Thinking of this, Lu Chaoding decided to first farm a batch of local spirits to raise the spiritual energy index of his exclusive cave to LV4 before focusing on leveling up.

"Brother Ding, this kid beat me up, are we just going to let him get away with this?"

Zhang Defa's words pulled Lu Chaoding back from his thoughts. He said, "It was a bit bullying of me to hit him. You can hit him back yourself later!"

"I... I can't beat them! I'm only level 1!"

"Don't worry, just cooperate with me on the mission, and I'll take you to new heights!"

After saying this, Lu Chao patted Zhang Defa on the shoulder, then bowed to the somewhat unwilling Song Shu in farewell gesture, and turned to leave.

Song Shu hurriedly called out from behind, "Hey, instead of fighting the pirates, you can build the dueling platform first, so I can meet your sect's experts!"

Lu Chao nodded. A moment later, he built a dueling platform next to the training square, but he was too lazy to watch other players compete on the platform. He then took Zhang Defa to the mission hall.

"Brother Ding, you have to keep your word! You have to take me with you!" Zhang Defa entered the mission hall with a bitter face. He figured he was going to be exploited by Lu Chaoding for another day, so he was prepared and took out two small stools, keeping one for himself and giving one to Lu Chaoding.

"This was made by Lü Shaobao, Brother Ding. Please have a seat, I'll go close the door!"

"Hey, not bad! Defa, don't worry, this sword immortal is incredibly reliable. If I say I'll take you to new heights, I definitely will! Come on, let's do some quests first. Here, this is the five-star Earthly Deity Ao Longwang. You issue a simple quest, and set the reward item to Ao Longwang!"

Lu Chao handed the sphere-like Earth God Ao Longwang to Zhang Defa, whose eyes widened in surprise.

Five-Star Earth Deity!

God knows where Ding Ge got it from!

He didn't dare to be greedy and followed Lu Chaoding's orders, issuing a task that would reward him with 10 yuan to Ao Longwang.

Lu Chaoding thus began his daily routine of grinding for tasks.

"No, this task is too difficult. Cancel it and reissue it!"

"Cancel again, resend!"

"Too difficult, still too difficult, cancel and start over..."

The door to the mission hall was closed. Inside, Lu Chaoding and Zhang Defa sat on small stools, chatting as they completed their missions.

Two hours later, Lu Chaoding had already obtained 21 Ao Longwang.

Releasing one Aolong King into a dedicated cave will increase the spiritual energy index by 100 points, and 21 Aolong Kings will increase it by 2100 points. However, to upgrade a dedicated cave to LV4, the spiritual energy index only needs to reach 2000 points. Therefore, Lu Chaoding only needs to return to the cave and release these Aolong Kings to upgrade his dedicated cave to LV4.

Next, Lu Chaoding stopped farming Earthly Deities and started farming Great Yuan Pills.

The Great Yuan Pill is a two-star pill that can increase cultivation by 1000 points after consumption. Lu Chaoding planned to use the Great Yuan Pill to advance his level.

He scrolled for fifteen or sixteen hours straight, until Zhang Defa started yawning repeatedly and dozed off.

"An alien with a weak liver!"

Lu Chaoding shook his head. He took stock of his gains. At this point, he had collected more than 50,000 bottles of Great Yuan Pills, totaling more than 1 million pills, enough to provide 1 billion in cultivation.

"That should last me a while. Alright, that's enough for today!"

Thinking of this, Lu Chao shook Zhang Defa awake, who was dozing off, and said, "Defa, you've worked hard. How do you want to take off?"

Zhang Defa, who was barely able to keep his eyes open, immediately perked up upon hearing this and said, "I'll take off however Brother Ding wants me to!"

"Hmm?" Lu Chao nodded, a thoughtful look on his face. After a few breaths, he said, "I have a few very good tools here. Fine, you can have them. Try them out and see if you can use them!"

After saying that, Lu Chao took out three items.

These are the [Mech Cannon King's Job Change Certificate], the five-star mech [Great Shock], and the five-star heavy cannon [Star Collapse], which were obtained after defeating the Evil God Tank!

Zhang Defa was stunned when he saw the three items in front of him.

"What, what are all these?"

"What, you don't want it?"

"How is that possible? I mean, this is too outrageous, oh no, it's too cool, haha!" Zhang Defa acted extremely quickly, as if afraid that Lu Chaoding would change his mind, and immediately used the [Mech Cannon King's Job Change Certificate].

The next moment, a golden light flashed on his body, and the sword and skill book he was carrying on his back fell out. He had successfully changed his class to [Mech Cannon King].

Zhang Defa laughed heartily, as if he had become Superman, while checking his attribute panel. He exclaimed, "My goodness! I'm the Mech Cannon King! I can pilot mechs and equip them with guns and cannons. Secret techniques, combat skills, ultimate techniques—I have them all! Brother Ding is so good to me! Five-star mech [Great Shock], five-star heavy cannon [Star Collapse]—takeoff! Takeoff! It really takes off! This is way more powerful than being a sword god!"

Zhang Defa jumped up excitedly.

Suddenly, he frowned again and said, "Brother Ding, Brother Ding, I need experience to level up now, I can't use cultivation points anymore, but where do I get experience?"

Lu Chaoding then took out all the experience tokens he had accumulated in the Machine King Universe and handed them to Zhang Defa, saying, "These are all for you. They should be enough to get you to level 20. If you want more experience tokens later, you'll probably have to grind in unreliable training rooms, or you can buy them from other players!"

Zhang Defa was overjoyed and said, "Brother Ding is awesome! Thank you, Brother Ding! From now on, I'll be your number one lackey! I'm going outside to pilot a mecha!"

"Go ahead! I'll need your help with quests from now on!"

"Got it, I love helping you with quests!"

Zhang Defa was no longer sleepy at all. He put away his five-star mech [Great Shock] and five-star heavy cannon [Star Collapse], and excitedly ran out of the mission hall.

Lu Chao didn't waste any time and directly opened the entrance to his private cave in the mission hall.

After entering his private cave, Lu Chaoding quickly released 20 Aolong Kings and Moon Shadow Azure Dragons. He kept one Aolong King, intending to carry it with him to avoid it automatically leveling up and binding after being released.

"Xiao Qing, Da Ao!"

Lingqiguo rode over on his Boiling Blood Lion Dog. He looked at the Earth Spirits that Lu Chaoding had released with concern. The 20 Aolong Kings did not arouse his curiosity. He just focused on naming these Aolong Kings.

"Your name is Er'ao, your name is San'ao, your name is Si'ao..."

This unusual spirit fruit was overjoyed, as if it had gained a new follower.

Meanwhile, the cave dwelling courtyard began to expand, and Lu Chaoding also received a system notification: "Ding, the spiritual energy index has reached 2015, your exclusive cave dwelling has automatically been upgraded to LV4, and the level cap of the Heavenly Eight Trigrams Furnace and the Heavenly Jade Bed has been increased."

"Ding! Your cave dwelling has acquired a spiritual vein, which will increase the growth rate of the local deities and the production rate of spiritual creatures."

"Ding! Your cave dwelling has been upgraded to LV4. You can now set up a protective array and guardian beasts. Please explore the area yourself for details."
