Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 150 Third Elder, Your Comprehension is Extremely High

Just as Lu Chaoding received the system notification, a gray-robed figure suddenly appeared on the gently rippling sea outside Peach Blossom Island.

The man walked on the sea as if it were flat ground, his face hidden in his hood, and his figure appeared thin.

As it approached Peach Blossom Island, a sudden surge of air erupted from the island, sending peach blossoms billowing upwards like a tornado. The Peach Blossom Sword God, dressed in baggy shorts, appeared outside the island, hands behind his back, his expression cold. He glared at the approaching gray-robed man and shouted, "You are not welcome here. Please leave!"

The man in the gray robe chuckled, his voice high-pitched and androgynous: "My friend, after all these years, you still can't let go?"

"Hmph, we have different paths, so we can't work together. You can leave!"

"How is Dan'er now?"

"You are not qualified to mention him!"

"Xiang Ruyan, if you had submitted to me back then, things wouldn't have come to this."

"There's no Xiang Ruyan here, only fishermen and manatees!"

"Manatee, manatee, hahahaha, Xiang Ruyan, you're really deceiving yourself! If you're truly content to be a fisherman, why serve others?"

"I...I...I don't want to talk to you, get out of here."

"I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless!"

"Now that I have appeared here, you should know what I am going to do. If you do not obey me, you will be my enemy, and the person you are loyal to will be an enemy that must be eliminated. Hahahaha..."

The gray-robed man laughed for a while, then suddenly vanished.

The Peach Blossom Sword God's expression was solemn. He gazed at the sea and after a long while, sighed, "The gray-robed figure has broken free, chaos is about to erupt, fate is cruel! How... how did I become loyal to that person?"

His face was filled with confusion. The title of Peach Blossom Sword God above his head had disappeared and been replaced by the title of Peach Blossom Elder of the Reliable Sword Sect.

This scene that took place on Peach Blossom Island was witnessed by no one. Lu Chaoding was still in that secret room, while Chu Wudi, the third elder of the Tianfeng Sword Sect, was already taking off his clothes.

"This robe is for you too. That's all, really, I have nothing left. I really can't offer any more compensation! Please, Sect Leader Lu, have mercy and let me go. I really didn't send anyone to kidnap you. It's a misunderstanding. I had someone kidnap a sea urchin. Oh, by the way, it was Chu Shishui's bad idea. He's the one who told me to do it..."

Chu Wudi, with a mournful face, kept begging for mercy.

Seeing his performance, Lu Chaoding said, "Third Elder, your comprehension is extremely high!"

He really didn't expect that this Third Elder would back down. As soon as he saw his subordinates had tied him up, he knelt down and apologized. He did it all without hesitation. This intelligence was far superior to that of ordinary NPCs.

Lu Chaoding even suspected that this guy had awakened.

Chu Wudi then said, "Sect Leader Lu, this matter wasn't caused by me. It was all Chu Shishui from the Golden Sword Sect who came up with the bad idea. If you're going to punish someone, you can't punish me alone. Or should I take you to find Chu Shishui?"

Lu Chaoding's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he said, "The Peach Blossom Sword God and his son, Sea Urchin, have already joined my reliable sword sect. How dare you and Chu Shishui scheme against them? It's truly hateful! Now, take me to find Chu Shishui!"

"Okay, okay!"

Chu Wudi actually showed a happy expression. Then, wearing only shorts, he led Lu Chao through the streets and alleys for more than twenty minutes, and finally arrived at the Golden Sword Hall in the center of Tianfeng City, where the Golden Sword Sect was stationed, and found Chu Shishui.

This left protector of the Golden Sword Sect was also highly "comprehension-oriented". After giving Chu Wudi a fierce look, he followed suit and took out all his belongings and took off his robes. In the end, just like Chu Wudi, he was completely naked except for a pair of big shorts.

"Seeing your sincere remorse, I, the sect leader, will show leniency and will not pursue the matter of kidnapping me further. You'd better watch yourselves!"

Lu Chaoding left a message and drove off in his tank.

Despite the fact that these two powerful figures from Tianfeng City surnamed Chu were stripped bare, Lu Chaoding's gains were actually not that great. He only obtained some fashion items, weapons, accessories, skill books, and pills.

Two items particularly caught Lu Chao's attention: one was the four-star elixir, the Nine-Turn Pill, contributed by Chu Wudi.

Taking one [Nine-Turn Pill] will directly increase your cultivation by 9000 points in your character's level-up slot. It also has a small chance to permanently enhance your physique, which means there is an extra chance to increase your health, defense, resilience, or speed. However, there is a limit to this physique enhancement: health can be increased by a maximum of 10, attack power by a maximum of 1, defense and resilience by a maximum of 1000, and speed by a maximum of 100.

Once this limit is reached, consuming the [Nine-Turn Pill] will only grant cultivation points.

For Lu Chaoding, one bottle of [Nine-Turn Pill] is equivalent to countless bottles of [Nine-Turn Pill], and the extra attribute increase will definitely reach the limit.

The second item is the skill book for the four-star sword immortal exclusive combat skill [Golden Photovoltaic Magic Circle], given by Chu Shishui.

According to the description in the attribute information, the Golden Photovoltaic Magic Circle is a control skill. Its effect is to create a circle of light to imprison the target. The higher the skill level, the stronger the power. The effect of LV1 is to imprison the target for one round. The skill can only be upgraded by increasing the proficiency.

"My skill set has been expanded again; mastering a control skill is definitely essential!"

When Lu Chaoding had some free time, he thought he could practice the [Golden Photovoltaic Magic Circle], since he had the [Tai Chi Sword Immortal] trait and many skill slots!

Next, we'll explore Tianfeng City.

The city is very large, with a large number of NPCs and numerous story-driven quests, including puzzle-solving, item finding, monster fighting, and message delivery. Lu Chao completed several of these quests, but the unreliable system occasionally altered them, resulting in only modest rewards compared to grinding quests on his own.

The next morning, Lu Chaoding sailed away from Tianfeng City on his patrol ship. He was going to return to Peach Blossom Island, take in the Peach Blossom Sword God and his son, and then continue on his way to Tianyun Prefecture.

Hua Dashao, Wang Chengang, Dugu Tian and others waved goodbye. After the celestial patrol ship disappeared from sight, they all ran towards Pier 1 of Tianfeng Port.

The current owner of this pier is Dugu Tian!

Originally, Dugu Tian thought this dock was nothing special, just a place to moor ships. But after taking over the dock, he was pleasantly surprised to find that it was not a dock at all, but a small gold mine.

Pier 1 is staffed with 166 NPCs, including stewards, ship repairmen, stewards, messengers, and so on. They are responsible for the daily operation of Pier 1, which is a profit-making organization. They charge for services such as ship docking, cargo loading and unloading, and cargo storage.

Dugu Tian discovered that after taking over the dock, even if he did nothing and let it operate on its own, he could earn an average of about five thousand gold coins per day!

Of course, this money isn't coming from the players, but from the NPCs. The revenue might be even higher as the number of players increases.

"Five thousand a day, that's 15 a month! I don't have to do anything, just wait for the money to arrive. That's so exciting! Brother Ding must have known I needed money for custom equipment, that's why he gave me such a great gift. It's fantastic!"

Dugu Tian secretly marveled at how wise it was to join a reliable sword sect.

The others naturally envied, were jealous and resentful of Dugu Tian, ​​but they had no chance to get close to Lu Chao.
