Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 105 The Jade Gourd, the Hidden Palace of the Wind God

“My master, Venerable Mingsu, is skilled in weapon crafting. I’ll ask him if he can craft one for you.”

"Thank you for your help, Second Brother."

"polite."

Su Huan took a True Feather and turned to contact his master. Su Yu wandered around the Canglan Guild alone, browsing the guild channel and the regional channel of Jinjiao Island, slowly learning about the guild's situation.

After wandering around for more than half an hour, and combining what he had seen with his second brother's introduction, he had a general understanding of the Canglan Society.

The guild's overall strength far surpasses that of the Thousand Feathers Guild and is not much different from that of the Heavenly Gods Guild.

Among them, the Canglan Guild has the advantage in high-level combat strength. After all, the founder of the Canglan Guild, Master Mingsu, is still alive. He is a player with a level of over 180. In addition, he has more than a dozen disciples who are rogue immortals. In terms of top-level combat strength, the Canglan Guild is definitely stronger than the Tianshen Guild.

However, the Celestials will possess a Sky Strike Giant Ship, and the effectiveness of this Tier 8 warship in guild wars is beyond ordinary people's imagination.

The Canglan Society does not possess such a super warship; it only has two Tier 7 warships.

With one side having an advantage at the top and the other having an advantage in weaponry, the two are balanced and neither side can gain the upper hand.

After learning all this, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the gods wouldn't retaliate against them if they found out about their relationship.

After browsing around the guild, Su Yu went to a merchant guild directly under the Canglan Guild and bought a Soul Searching Spell Jade Slip there.

He randomly chose an inn, booked a room, hung up a "Do Not Disturb" sign, took out the demon soul of the overseas divine bird and the soul-searching jade slip, activated the soul-searching spell, and his right hand quickly turned green as he pressed it into the demon soul to begin searching for the information he wanted.

In Su Yu's perception, the demon soul of the overseas divine bird was like a starry sky composed of countless memory orbs.

Using the secret technique of soul searching, one can extract individual memory orbs and thus learn about the memories carried within them.

The overseas divine bird is dead, its main consciousness has disappeared, leaving only its demonic soul and instincts. Using the soul-searching secret technique will not hinder it at all.

However, although it was not a problem, the memory bank of the overseas divine bird was too large. This thing had probably lived for thousands of years, and the memories left in its mind were frighteningly numerous, like countless stars in the sky.

Moreover, most of the memories are useless information about the divine bird's daily life, hunting, sleeping, etc., with very little useful information, like finding a needle in a haystack.

Su Yu's first soul-searching jade slip only lasted five minutes, and all it retrieved were junk memories.

He then purchased another thirty jade slips containing the Soul Searching Technique and cast spells continuously for over an hour before finally finding the information he wanted.

The Palace of the Wind God is located deep in the extremely distant ocean, inside an ancient and indestructible super tornado pillar.

This divine bird from overseas possesses the bloodline of the Wind God and is the darling of the wind. It lives within the Wind God Pillar year-round and, strictly speaking, is a guardian of the Wind God's Palace.

There are many such guardians, and this overseas mythical bird is just one of them.

Holding the Wind God Token allows you to enter the Wind God Palace and stay for one hour, during which you can use this time to obtain benefits within the palace.

However, the divine bird did not know the specific benefits of entering the divine palace and could only speculate.

"No matter what, we have to go in."

After careful consideration, Su Yu decided to go in later, once the magic weapon was finished.

Upon learning the situation, there was nothing left to see in the Divine Bird's memories.

He put away the demon spirit, opened his contacts and found a message from his second brother. He immediately replied:

"I just had something to do and don't have time to reply."

Su Huan immediately replied:
“It’s alright. I just asked my master, and you have two options.”

"One method is to use 120 True Feathers plus Demon Souls to refine a Wind-attribute Rank 8 Magic Treasure. You only need to add 1,500 taels of gold to purchase other auxiliary materials."

"Another option is to add another fire-attribute divine bird feather to refine a high-quality eighth-tier magic weapon with wind and fire attributes, which will make the fire and wind even more powerful."

"However, you only have a wind attribute True Feather. You also need to prepare a set of fire attribute True Feathers and some auxiliary materials. If you prepare fire attribute True Feathers yourself, you will need to purchase auxiliary materials for two thousand gold. If you do not have them, your master has some in stock, but it will cost an extra one thousand gold for materials. Including other auxiliary materials, the total material cost will be three thousand gold. You can choose for yourself."

"Of course, the best is the finest when it comes to refining."

"Alright, come find me at the guild headquarters."

"almost there."

The distance wasn't far, and the two brothers met up five minutes later. Su Yu took out all the True Feathers and Demon Souls, and handed them over to his second brother along with a total of 3000 taels of gold.

"It takes about a month to refine the magic weapon. I'll call you when it's finished."

"OK!"

The second brother nodded, picked up his things, and hurriedly left.

Su Yu glanced back at the guild and merchant guild not far away, then turned and went inside. She sold the batch of ordinary gold feathers she had to the guild for 1100 gold. With what she had left over, she had 2140 gold left.

The demon cores weren't for sale. The demon cores of super BOSSes over level 200 contain immense demonic power, which can be used to refine pills or for spirit pets to enhance their strength.

Su Yu returned to the inn and plunged into the Zhenhai Realm, where she saw Ao Run swimming leisurely in the water, chasing after the colorful spirit fish.

Perhaps she was full, because after catching up with the colorful spirit fish, she didn't eat them directly, but held them in her mouth and then spat them out.

Su Yu waved to her:

"come here."

A more beautifully formed dragon flew over, coiled around him, and asked:

"When can we get out? I'm so bored." Su Yu gently tapped the crystal-clear, jade-like dragon scales, producing a crisp sound like jade. The dragon's head drooped, and two glowing dragon whiskers hung in front of him. He reached out and grasped them, feeling as if he were holding a string of ice whiskers. A cool sensation seeped into his body through his hand, and the refreshing air penetrated straight into his body, making him feel extremely comfortable.

"so comfortable."

"We won't have to wait much longer; we'll be going out in a few days."

"But eat this before you go out."

He flipped his right hand, and the inner core of the divine bird from overseas appeared in his palm. He tossed it gently, and Ao Run reflexively opened his mouth and bit it, asking in great surprise:

"Such a precious demon core, is it for me?"

He smiled and said:
"It's already in your mouth, who else would you give it to if not you?"

Ao Run tilted her head and blinked, absorbing the demon core into her stomach. Her body coiled up and slowly emitted a faint spiritual light, gradually forming a cocoon of light that enveloped her.

Su Yu was pushed away by an invisible force, taking several steps back. She reached out and hugged her, looking at her with great anticipation.

How much strength can a level 230 super BOSS inner core increase?

After leaving Zhenhai Pearl, Su Yu went to the Guild and Chamber of Commerce to order a batch of brewing materials and several local wine recipes.

Then he sent a message to his second brother, turned around and returned to Zhenhai Pearl to start brewing wine on a large scale.

One day outside is equivalent to ten days inside Zhenhai Pearl. Even if he only occasionally takes a break to brew wine inside Zhenhai Pearl, the time won't be much shorter with the tenfold time bonus. After learning the brewing technique over such a long period, he has gradually honed it to a near-advanced level.

Once you reach the advanced level, you can craft a unique magical artifact that only brewers can equip – the Wine Gourd.

This thing is a special artifact that only brewers can equip.

It requires a spirit gourd as the vessel blank. After being refined, the interior will have its own space that can hold a large number of different kinds of spirit wine.

Su Yu spent eight whole days, placed the wine inside the Zhenhai Pearl for eighty days, and brewed wine continuously for almost three months, finally honing his winemaking skills to the advanced level.

Then he took out a green spirit gourd that he had bought casually from the market, opened his mouth and spat out his magic power, which turned into true fire. The spirit gourd tumbled continuously above the true fire. He formed hand seals and, according to the weapon-refining method that came with the advanced brewing technique, condensed a series of minor heavenly cloud restrictions and sent them into the gourd.

This restrictive technique is only at the first level, but it's still enough to refine a basic wine gourd.

As it was forged by real fire and the restrictions were integrated, the green gourd slowly changed.

The gourd material was refined and tempered, slowly changing from cyan to emerald green, and then gradually emitting an amazing emerald green color, just like jade.

After continuous refining for almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, when Su Yu finally infused the gourd with the last cloud-shaped restriction, the surface of the gourd glowed brightly with densely packed restriction runes, which then quickly merged into the gourd and disappeared.

"It's done!"

Su Yu withdrew his true fire, grabbed the gourd that had already turned into jade, and immediately sensed that there were 5 spaces inside the gourd that resembled wine jars, which could store 5 kinds of fine wine at the same time.

He immediately took out several kinds of fine wine that he had brewed earlier and poured them into the gourd one by one.

The fourth-grade Monkey Brew: One sip instantly restores 5000 health and mana, and then restores 500 health and mana per second for the next ten seconds.

The fourth-grade fine wine, Jiuqu Yellow Wine: One sip restores 8000 health and mana.

The Fifth Grade Wine, Intoxicating for a Thousand Days: One sip instantly restores 20000 HP and MP, and then restores 1000 HP and MP per second for the next thirty seconds.

The "Monkey's Drunkenness" skill occupies two squares, and each square contains enough wine for 20 large sips.

Jiuqu Shaoxing wine occupies one square.

The Thousand-Day Brew takes up two compartments, and you can drink up to 20 big sips.

Having this wine gourd is like having a recovery pill that can be used continuously.

The reason for not using only the highest grade of Qianrizui wine is that Houerniang wine has the best flavor, and Jiuqu Huangjiu wine also has a unique taste.

He didn't just use this thing as a recovery pill; enjoying fine wine was also one of life's great pleasures.

We have limited resources and no good recipes right now. But when we have the means, we'll get a top-tier spirit gourd with a huge internal space. We can fill a pond with all sorts of fine wines and live a truly blissful life.

Emerging from Zhenhai Pearl, Su Yu carried a jade gourd hanging from her waist, occasionally taking a small sip, finding it very pleasant.

After wandering around the streets for a while, Su Yu remembered something and checked her communications. She found several missed messages, all from her second brother. Most of them were asking when he would emerge from seclusion, and the last one was a notification.

"The main force of the Second Regiment will be holding an internal event in a week. You should come and participate if you have time."

He immediately replied:
"Second brother, I've emerged from seclusion."

The second brother responded quickly:

"Come to these coordinates."

He immediately opened the map and found that the coordinates were not on Jinjiao Island, but in a sea area more than 10,000 kilometers away to the west of Jinjiao Island.

"Oh, right, dress up nicely before you come."

"???"

"Because of your sister-in-law, there are quite a few female players in our main second team. You are all alone now, and your sister-in-law wants to introduce you to a girlfriend."

"A blind date?"
