Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 282 - 192: Celestial Might Star Bone, Qingchan’s Departure
PS: Brothers, it’s the end of the month, seeking a wave of monthly votes.
"Spirit Root..."
This thing is the same kind as the Immortal Spirit Fruit eaten in the Sword Palace before, except one is an ordinary Immortal Spirit Fruit and the other is a Purple Mansion Immortal Spirit Fruit, with stronger effects.
"Not bad."
An Innate Origin Power was just gone, creating an extremely rare acquired Spirit Root.
Next time you want to have it again, you have to wait a year.
It’s real-world one year time, not a year in the Sea-Suppressing Pearl.
In addition, the Vast Sea also displayed other abilities to him.
Dividing the realm, within the Sea Suppressing Realm, a new independent space can be split out, which can be used to store things separately or to seal and imprison enemies.
Adjusting the time flow, the flow rate of time within the Sea Suppressing Realm can be controlled, with the minimum equal to reality, and the maximum a thousand times time flow, but adjusting the time flow requires consuming a massive amount of Mana, so it cannot be sustained, don’t expect this for quickly cultivating numerous millennial Spiritual Medicine.
After understanding her abilities, Su Yu was in a great mood.
As her strength increased, she was gradually put to use, and after unlocking part of the power of this Sea-Suppressing Pearl, she finally had a significant harvest.
In summary, the overall strength has greatly improved.
After coming out of the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, Su Yu took leave in the inner cabinet and then withdrew a hundred thousand taels of gold from the guild warehouse and went out.
That’s the significance of going through such great effort to develop the guild, putting in time and effort in the early stages, but as long as it develops, it can give back.
The Thousand Star Hall dominates the Ten Thousand Poison Island, just speaking in terms of territory, it’s already surpassed the Canglan Association and Celestial God Association, but only lacks the foundation.
This can be compensated over time, after ten or eight years, the advantage of dominating a place will become evident, and the Thousand Star Hall will be stronger and wealthier.
For individuals, it is extremely difficult to come up with a hundred thousand taels of gold, some seasoned Loose Immortals may not even have it.
But with guild support, it’s easy to take out.
Previously, earning money everywhere was difficult, barely gathering sixty thousand gold to repair the Demon Fire Golden Banner, now he casually withdraws a hundred thousand without needing to inform anyone.
And this is just one of the conveniences, more conveniently, he can borrow the services of tens of thousands of guild members at any time.
Transmitting back from Mingsu Palace to Xuankong Mountain, Su Yu directly found his master ancestor and took out the Demon Fire Golden Banner.
Master ancestor took the Demon Fire Golden Banner, glanced at it, and asked:
"You want to repair this?"
"Yes."
"How do you plan to repair it?"
"I heard Master Mingsu say that this is a Tier Nine Buddhist Treasure, only damaged and degraded in rank, if there’s enough material it can be restored to Tier Nine Buddhist Treasure."
Master Xuanwei stroked his beard and nodded:
"Indeed, it’s a degraded Tier Nine Buddhist Treasure, with sufficient materials and merits it can indeed be repaired, but I advise you not to repair it this way."
"Why, is there a problem with the Buddhist Treasure?"
The master ancestor laughed and said:
"There’s no problem with the Buddhist Treasure, it’s just not fitting for you, a core disciple of Xuankong Mountain, future true successor, to have a core treasure that’s a Buddhist Treasure."
"Uh..."
Indeed, if this thing is repaired, it will be his main core treasure for a long time.
Tier Ten Treasures are too rare, even Earth Immortals cannot have one per person, ordinary disciples without heaven-defying fortune will never possess Tier Ten Treasures.
Su Yu gave a wry smile and said:
"Isn’t there no choice, Tier Nine Treasures are rare, having one is good enough, can’t be picky."
"Normal people don’t get to choose, but you do have the leeway."
Su Yu’s eyes brightened and immediately bowed:
"Please guide me, master ancestor!"
Master Xuanwei reached out, stroked his beard, and smiled:
"Very simple, spend a little more money, and I will pull some strings to invite a master to reforge this treasure into a Daoist treasure, not only will the power be stronger, but it won’t consume merits."
"How much money?"
"Ten thousand gold!"
"No problem."
Master Xuanwei laughed:
"Seems like you’ve been gaining quite a bit recently."
"The disciple-grandson has done a big thing overseas recently, occupied an island, with many followers supporting him, quite wealthy."
"It’s the Ten Thousand Poison Island, isn’t it!"
"You know, master ancestor?"
"The news of you transforming into a true dragon has spread throughout the sect, how could I not know."
Su Yu was greatly shocked:
"Ah, everyone knows?"
"What, do you still want to keep a low profile?"
"Hehe..."
Master Xuanwei looked kindly at the disciple-grandson in front of him and said:
"Since it’s known by everyone, there’s no need to hide, act with spirit from now on, have the demeanor of a core of the sect."
"Disciple-grandson understands."
"Good!"
Master Xuanwei flipped his right hand and handed over a storage ring:
"Here are nine kinds of divine iron from beyond the heavens, you can refine the Celestial Might Star Bone."
"In addition, the Five Elements Divine Crystals for refining the Five Elements Divine Gang Bone and the Primordial Magnetic Elite for refining the Primordial Magnetic Flowing Light Bone are indeed available on the market. Now that you have money, if you’ve already accumulated enough cultivation points and Dao practice, you don’t need to wait for your teacher to earn sect contributions, you can directly buy them in the market."
Su Yu took the storage ring and nodded, saying: 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"The disciple-grandson understands."
Then Master Xuanwei asked him some questions regarding cultivation, and about an hour later, he bid farewell and left.
After coming out of Xuankong Mountain, Su Yu specifically went to Xuanzhen Immortal City to check the prices of Five Elements Divine Crystals and Primordial Magnetic Elite through major firms.
It is indeed available on the market; the price for a Five Elements Divine Crystal is 15,000 gold each.
Primordial Magnetic Essence costs 5,000 gold per gourd, and he still doesn’t know how much Primordial Magnetic Essence is needed to refine the Primordial Magnetic Flowing Light Bone, but he estimates it requires at least ten gourds.
Together, it is estimated to cost at least around 150,000 to 200,000 gold.
This problem is not significant. When the experience in refining Immortal Bone and the accumulation of cultivation are sufficient, money will certainly not be an issue.
After a round trip, Su Yu began refining the Immortal Bone.
Celestial Might Star Bone: Requires integrating nine kinds of extraterrestrial divine iron into the body using ancient secret methods to transform the skull into the Celestial Might Star Immortal Bone.
Attributes: All innate attributes +5, immunity to Enchanting God Skill, mind attacks, soul attacks like Heart Demon possession below Celestial Immortal level, accompanied by a divine technique: Great Wisdom.
Requirements: Nine kinds of extraterrestrial divine iron, 10 billion cultivation points, 10,000 Dao cultivation points.
Su Yu spit out true fire, refining the nine kinds of extraterrestrial divine iron one by one, merging them into a silvery white liquid, and then using secret methods to embed beams of Nine Heavens Bone Refining Essence Light into the silvery white liquid.
As the essence light entered, the silvery white divine iron liquid gradually changed, slowly transforming into a transparent crystalline liquid, finally refining into the skull, replacing it.
With the formation of the Celestial Might Star Immortal Bone, all innate attributes +5.
Constitution increased from 51 to 56, insight from 42 to 47, six senses from 38 to 43, fortune from 31 to 36.
Aside from these, there were no other attribute changes.
However, with the protection of the Celestial Might Star Immortal Bone, henceforth all mind attacks below the Celestial Immortal level cannot penetrate the protection of the Immortal Bone to harm his soul.
Additionally, the Celestial Might Star Immortal Bone also comes with a great divine technique—Great Wisdom.
This is a special divine technique, with simple attributes, innate insight +20, exempting any cultivation conditions for Daoist Sword Formulas or forbidden divine techniques, with a chance to enter a state of sudden enlightenment.
Simply put, a supreme Daoist technique requires 50 points of innate constitution to cultivate, or an advanced divine technique requires the prior cultivation of a particular skill; with Great Wisdom, this prerequisite is removed.
Like the attributes of the Celestial Might Star Immortal Bone, it is purely passive.
It is worth noting that this Great Wisdom cannot remove the equipment requirements of flying swords and treasures, nor can it exempt the external conditions needed for cultivation, such as the Five Elements Divine Crystals and Primordial Magnetic Essence required by the other two Immortal Bones. These are external conditions that Great Wisdom cannot exempt.
With the Immortal Bone formed, Su Yu clearly felt that the heart fire and raging murderous intent caused by the Blood Demon curse within him seemed to be separated by a layer, significantly reducing its influence.
"With this, Heart Demons during the Celestial Tribulation can be directly ignored in the future."
After refining the Immortal Bone, Su Yu returned directly to Ten Thousand Poison Island.
The Demon Fire Golden Banner was taken by his master for repairs, which will probably take a year to recast.
Returning to Ten Thousand Poison Island, the guild was already back on track, and with the Thousand Star Hall handling guild affairs, he took Qingchan and Ao Run out for fun while also enhancing his cultivation.
He no longer had a high demand for cultivation points; not to mention Five Elements Peak absorbing 200 million Spiritual Qi experience daily, simply unlocking one level of the Sea-Suppressing Pearl’s seal provides 100 million Spiritual Qi experience per day; he doesn’t need to do anything to gain over 10 billion Spiritual Qi experience in three months, now he only lacks Dao cultivation points.
To the west of Ten Thousand Poison Island, beneath the sea, the two accompanied by the dragon frantically battled monsters over five thousand meters deep.
Ao Run ventured into the sea depths, constantly driving mid-level and sub-BOSSes over level 100 towards them.
Su Yu, eager to test his newly acquired innate Thunder Skill, smiled and said to Qingchan:
"I’ve learned a new divine technique; see if you can recognize what it is."
Afterward, he made a gesture of grabbing at the air, gathering thunderlight in his palm, rapidly forming a crackling blue thunderball, which he lightly threw, causing it to explode among the monsters.
The invisible electric light swept over, as if something had been triggered at the sea bottom, boiling over as endless Kui Water Essence gathered, turning an area of two kilometers into a chaotic mass, repeatedly exploding back and forth.
The rolling thunderwater expanded, then regathered under the influence of an invisible force into thunder before exploding again, continuously cycling like this, ceaselessly.
The larger and smaller BOSSes within bore the brunt of one explosion, those surviving lunged at Su Yu, but mere seconds later thunder converged again and exploded anew; after ten-odd seconds, one by one, the congers with levels as high as 123 were pulverized by the repeated water thunder.
"Can you identify this divine thunder?"
Qingchan immediately responded:
"Innate Water Thunder?"
He snapped his fingers with a pop:
"Yes, Innate Water Thunder."
Su Yu looked at her with a face full of smiles, eagerly anticipating her inquiry, but she didn’t ask. Su Yu immediately realized her interest seemed low, so he took her hand and asked:
"Is something on your mind?"
Qingchan lightly bit her red lips, her long lashes lifted as she softly said:
"I’m leaving."
"What?"
"Where are you going?"
"I need to go home."
"Home?"
"I’ve almost completed my accumulation; I absolutely must return to the family to prepare a few matters before I can establish my Dao Foundation and undergo the tribulation."
Su Yu paused, swallowing back all the prepared words in his heart.
"Cultivation is more important; you should make a trip back, when will you return?"
Luo Qingchan shook her head, saying:
"It’s hard to say; it depends on how the patriarch arranges things, but under normal circumstances, it will take two or three years if things go smoothly, possibly five or six years if not."
"That long...?"
"It’s not long; given your situation, it’ll take another few years to accumulate before undergoing the tribulation."
She reached out, gently caressed Su Yu’s face, and softly said:
"After I undergo the Celestial Tribulation, my parents may not be willing to let me come back. If you are willing to marry me, come find me on Divine Land after your tribulation."
This was the first time she officially expressed her feelings, and Su Yu immediately made his position clear:
"Of course, I want to marry you."
"Where is your home?"
"You go to Zhongyuan Mountain on Divine Land to find the Luo Clan, my father Luo Qingcang."
Su Yu embraced her, earnestly saying:
"Alright, in no less than three years, at most not more than five years, I will definitely go to Zhongyuan Mountain on Divine Land to find you."
Qingchan leaned into his embrace:
"I’ll wait for you."
Upon hearing this news, Su Yu lost the mood to battle monsters, accompanying her everywhere in the following days for leisurely trips, within and outside Ten Thousand Poison Island, Feixing Islands, and even leaving footprints on Blue Mountain Island.
A month later, Qingchan left him with something and gracefully departed.
It was a one-time use Sword Talisman, containing the strike of a Celestial Immortal.
