Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 104 Golden Dragon Island, Second Brother Su Huan
"Second brother?"

"Little brother?"

The man strode up to Su Yu, grabbed his shoulder, and looked him up and down with a look of surprise.

"It's really you."

"When I received the message, I thought it was a prank by one of my senior classmates, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"How did you know I was here, little brother? How did you get here?"

Su Yu had many questions from her second brother, and she didn't know how to answer them for a moment.

But it was clear that his second brother was very happy; the joy on his face was genuine, which eased his anxiety a little.

That very evening, his second brother canceled his room and then took him to Mingsu Palace.

On the flying boat, the two sat facing each other, each recounting their experiences.

Su Yu doesn't have much experience; after all, it's only been a little over a year. Aside from some things that can't be talked about, there's not much to say.

My second brother was both surprised and delighted when he learned that he had also joined the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect.
"I never imagined that both of us brothers would become disciples of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect."

His second brother's experiences were far richer and more legendary than his own, and no less impressive.

More than ten years ago, after arriving at Blue Mountain Island, the second brother, Su Huan, first joined a team. After a year of training, he joined the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect. At first, he was just an outer disciple. After five years of hard work, he successfully stood out in the small competition and became a formal disciple of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect. He then joined the Wanfa lineage, one of the six main lineages of the Immortal Sect.

After experiencing many things, he stood out among the disciples of the Wanfa lineage and was chosen by Master Mingsu to be his formal disciple.

After that, his cultivation progressed rapidly, his strength soared, and he even won the favor of his master Ming Su's eldest daughter and married her.

After twelve years of cultivation, he reached the limit of his cultivation and successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation in one go, thus advancing to the level of a Loose Immortal. He also became one of the core disciples of the Immortal Sect.

He successfully transcended the tribulation and became an immortal in just thirteen years. This speed is astonishing and definitely puts him in the top tier within the sect.

After listening to her second brother's self-introduction, Su Yu gave him a thumbs-up and said:

"Second Brother, your experience is truly legendary; you have the potential to become a Celestial Immortal in the future!"

The second brother shook his head upon hearing this:
"Becoming an Earth Immortal is extremely difficult. Our sect produces tens of thousands of geniuses every hundred years, and countless of them are stronger than me. Of these many, only one in a hundred can reach the limit of the Loose Immortal realm, and among those remaining one in a hundred, only a handful can successfully overcome the Earth Immortal tribulation. Although my cultivation speed is fast, it is almost impossible for me to become an Earth Immortal."

Su Yu opened her mouth, but couldn't refute it.

Su Huan smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"Let's not talk about that. I'm very happy to see you today, little brother. I was planning to wait a year or two until my cultivation level stabilized before visiting you and the other brothers. Since you've come, it saves me a lot of trouble. Come on, I'll take you to my house to meet your sister-in-law."

Su Yu also snapped out of her reverie and chatted idly with her second brother, laughing and joking.

The airship quickly returned to Mingsu Peak. This time, it entered the peak directly without needing to report and headed straight for a mountain peak in the central circle of the palace.

By this time, it was already dark, and the main peak of the palace was radiating light, with a pillar of light shooting straight into the sky from its top.

Beyond the main peak are two concentric rings of mountains. The flying boat headed straight for one of them. The second brother pointed to the mountain and said:

"I am one of my master's seventeen disciples who successfully ascended to the rank of Loose Immortal. I was given the Daoist name Ming Huanzi. This Ming Huan Peak is the Daoist temple bestowed upon me by my master."

As they were talking, the flying boat landed on a platform halfway up the mountain. Su Yu saw three women standing on the platform. In the middle stood a beautiful young woman dressed in palace attire. Su Yu's first impression of her was that she was beautiful, dignified, gentle and graceful.

Su Huan introduced him to the following:
"This is your sister-in-law, Meng Siyi."

Su Yu quickly bowed:

"Su Yu greets sister-in-law."

Meng Siyi smiled as she accepted his bow, then returned the bow, and said:

"Uncle, there's no need for such formalities. You're brothers, so make yourself at home here."

Su Yu nodded and bowed again.

"Let's go in first."

The second brother pulled him into the house, where a banquet had already been set up. It must have been the second brother who had informed his sister-in-law in advance to make the preparations.

The banquet was a typical family dinner, grand yet relaxed. The two brothers ate and chatted, while their sister-in-law sat beside them in silence, occasionally saying a few words.

During the family banquet, Su Yu discovered that his sister-in-law seemed to be a rogue immortal who had already passed the Heavenly Tribulation, with a level of 136, which was 30 levels higher than his second brother's level of 106, which surprised him quite a bit.

After the family dinner, his sister-in-law had already arranged accommodations for him in a separate courtyard next door, with two servants.

The two brothers talked for a long time afterward before the second brother finally went home.

Su Yu stood on the second-floor balcony, gazing into the distance, in a very good mood.

At first glance, it seems that the second brother still cares about his brothers; his enthusiasm today doesn't seem fake.

My second sister-in-law seems quite nice; she has a gentle personality and, while not exactly warm towards her brother-in-law, at least doesn't seem to reject him, which is enough.

"Looking at it this way, perhaps I can stay here for a while and gain some experience overseas."

Since we'll be training anyway back on Blue Mountain Island, we might as well train overseas. Overseas resources are much richer than on the mainland, and aside from other things, even the experience with spirits and monsters is higher.

After making his decision, he gazed at the starry sky for a while longer before turning around and going back inside to rest.

The next day, I slept until I naturally woke up. When I went to look for my second brother, he wasn't there. He didn't return until noon, and I tossed him an identity tag.
"I've prepared an identity card for you that's equivalent to that of a formal disciple of Mingsu Palace. You can freely enter and leave Mingsu Palace, use all the facilities within the palace, purchase local specialties, and use the palace's teleportation portal to return to Xuanzhen Immortal Sect. However, you can only teleport once a year."

"Thank you, Second Brother."

Su Huan waved his hand and took out another storage bag, handing it to him. Su Yu opened it and saw that there was a seventh-tier magic weapon and a full 1000 taels of gold inside.

He exclaimed in surprise:

"Second brother, I have a magic weapon and money. I have more than three thousand gold coins in cash right now."

Su Huan smiled and said, "It's your business if you have money. This is a token of your second brother and sister-in-law's appreciation. Please accept it."

"Uh, okay!"

The magic weapon is an offensive treasure called the Wind and Fire Vajra Wheel.

Wind and Fire Vajra Wheel (Seventh Tier): A fine product, a wheel forged from extraterrestrial gold, possessing immense power and indestructible strength.

Attributes: Activate the magic weapon to deal 20000 points of physical and wind/fire mixed damage to the target, ignoring defense, with a magic damage bonus of 100%, an attack range of 20 kilometers, and a mana cost of 1000 points.

Attribute: Drives the Vajra Wheel to spin rapidly, dealing continuous physical and wind-water mixed damage to the target, ignoring defense, at a rate of 30% magic damage per rotation, and consuming 500 mana per second.

At this moment, Su Huan asked:

"You don't need to rush back to your sect right now, do you?"

Su Yu replied:

"I came out here to gain experience. I found that the level and experience of the spirits overseas are higher than those in the mainland, and the resources are also richer. I am thinking of gaining experience overseas for a few years."

"That's great, you can live here from now on."

"Also, if you don't know anyone there, you can register in your sister-in-law's guild. You won't need to take on any work, and you can move around freely."

"Uh, I'm already a member of a guild, can I still be affiliated with other guilds?"

Su Huan laughed:

"Of course you can. It's not just about being a nominal member. You can join multiple guilds at the same time, as long as they're not local rival guilds."

"Oh!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Second Brother."

"It's no big deal. If you're free, we can go now. Your sister-in-law and I are usually at the guild."

"Walk."

The two acted swiftly and set off immediately.

With nothing to do on the way, his second brother explained the situation of their guild to him.

The guild is called Canglan Pavilion and has a history of over a hundred years. It was originally founded by Master Mingsu and a few other friends. After more than a hundred years of development, with the support of Master Mingsu, it is now a well-known guild in Jinjiao Island and the surrounding waters.

The guild headquarters is located on Golden Dragon Island, also known as Golden Dragon City, which is actually one of the guild's properties.

My sister-in-law, Meng Siyi, is the daughter of Master Mingsu, and my second brother is also Master Mingsu's disciple and son-in-law. They are now among the high-ranking members of the Canglan Society.

My sister-in-law is the vice president of the guild and the commander of the main force, the Second Regiment.

Second Brother is one of the guild elders and also the deputy leader of the main force second raid group.

The position of Guild Elder is reserved for skilled rogue players, and its status is second only to the Vice President and a few main guild leaders, making it an extremely prestigious position.

In addition, the positions of Guest Elder and Venerable Elder are equivalent to those of Elder, and only Loose Immortal Masters can hold these positions. However, different guilds use different names for them. For example, Loose Immortal Masters in the Thousand Feather Guild are called Venerable Elders instead of Elders.

His second brother took him to the headquarters of the Golden Dragon City Guild and directly registered him in the Canglan Pavilion Guild, making him a formal member for the time being.

It's not that my second brother is stingy and won't give him a higher status; it's just that the guild has rules that both elite and core members need to have been members for a certain number of years, and they can't be promoted immediately upon joining.

Su Yu didn't care about that. It was just a nominal position anyway, and he never thought about developing a long-term career at Canglan.

After Su Huan transferred Su Yu's name to the main force second team, he took him around the guild and introduced the guild's situation.

When it was mentioned that the guild was backed by the Mingsu Palace and was most skilled in alchemy and weapon crafting, with all the guild's experts coming from the Mingsu Palace, capable of even crafting high-grade elixirs and magic weapons, Su Yu suddenly thought of something, took out a true feather of a divine bird from overseas, and asked:

"Second Brother, what are the requirements for having a guild's weapon refiner craft a high-level magic weapon?"

Su Huan took the divine bird's true feather and examined it, a look of surprise on his face:
"The source of this True Feather is incredibly strong. It must be at least level two hundred, right? How many do you have?"

"One hundred and twenty."

"There are so many, enough to forge a level seven magic weapon."

"It's a pity that something is missing. If we could get a top-tier bird BOSS demon soul with matching attributes, we could even refine an eighth-tier magic weapon."

Su Yu silently took out the soul of the overseas divine bird.

"Goodness, there really is one."

Su Huan took the overseas divine bird demon soul and examined it carefully. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked in surprise:
"I heard that the Canghai Gang of Flying Star Island encountered a three-headed super BOSS battle two months ago. A level 230 overseas divine bird died at the hands of the Sea Serpent King and a mythical template true dragon. Could it be this?"

Su Yu grinned and said:

"It's that mythical bird from overseas."

Su Huan looked shocked:
"Didn't they say that the mythical bird from overseas died at the hands of a true dragon? How did this thing end up in your possession?"

"Could it be that you managed to snatch the final blow from the Sea Serpent King and the True Dragon?"

"Yes, we took a risk and managed to land the final blow."

"hiss!"

Even though Su Huan himself has a rich past and many legendary experiences, he has only done this kind of thing twice: snatching food from the mouth of a super BOSS with a level of over 200.

"sure!"

Su Huan patted his brother on the shoulder, feeling even more that he was no ordinary man.
