Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 74 Seventh-Tier Rare Magic Treasure, Four Symbols Star Soul Banner (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Then Su Yu picked up the jade slip again, glanced at it, and said:

"There is a profound Daoist technique here called the Four Symbols Star Technique, along with a complete explanation containing numerous secret methods and more than a dozen methods for crafting matching magical treasures. It can be practiced by up to three people."

"As agreed, I have one spot."

Wei Xia nodded and said:
"Yes, you can come to learn whenever you need to."

"Let's learn now."

Su Yu turned to look at the company commanders and said:

"As I said before, whoever makes the greatest contribution will have the opportunity to obtain a profound-level Dao technique. In this battle, Hu Qingfeng obtained a terrestrial immortal talisman to seal the demon king, giving us ample time to deal with the demon generals and leaders. Among the four of you, he made the greatest contribution, so this opportunity belongs to him. Do you have any objections?"

The group exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

"Captain Hu's talisman did indeed play a crucial role in this battle, and we are convinced of that."

Su Yu nodded and looked at Hu Qingfeng, who had a delighted expression, and said:

"Alright, hand over 1000 taels of gold to the brigade's treasury, and this exquisite Taoist technique will be yours."

Hu Qingfeng quickly nodded:
"I'll go back and ask my dad for the money."

"Hmm, no rush, you can start learning now."

"Thank you, Captain."

He reached out his slightly trembling hand and grasped the jade slip. With a thought, specks of light flew out and merged into his forehead. After a while, he opened his eyes, his face full of joy.

After taking the spot, Wei Xia retrieved the jade slip and stood up impatiently, cupping his hands in greeting:
"Now that the demon stronghold has been captured, the rest is yours. Let's leave now."

"Goodbye!"

Then the group hurriedly took off and left, seemingly eager to go back and divide the money.

Su Yu smiled, turned around and went back into the Demon King's Palace, saying:

"Let's go check out the cave."

Upon arriving at the Demon King's Palace, deep within the Demon King's sleeping quarters, they discovered a cave entrance spewing forth dense spiritual energy.

Su Yu was initially looking forward to the cave, but was greatly disappointed when she actually entered and saw it.

This cave in the mountain is quite large, with more than ten acres of spiritual fields inside. However, the cave's defensive restrictions have been damaged by the ape demon, and the internal facilities are in a mess. The alchemy room, weapon-refining room, and so on are all abandoned. The only useful thing now is the cave's spiritual vein, which can supply more than ten people to cultivate inside.

Su Yu roughly assessed the situation and found that she could gain more than two million spiritual energy experience points every day, which was not bad.

Emerging from the cave, Su Yu addressed the company commanders:
"I plan to take this place as a guild resource point. Which of your squadrons is willing to move its base here?"

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances and then turned to look at Hu Qingfeng.

Hu Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:
"My Fifth Squadron, come on over."

"Alright, this place is yours to manage. You don't need to pay taxes for the next year."

As they walked, they reached the summit. Su Yu surveyed the area and said to them:
“In a few days I will be going to the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect to become an apprentice. I will not have time to come back for a year. During this time, the five of you should work together to develop the sect. When I come back in a year, I will recommend the two squad leaders who have developed the best to the regimental commander as deputy battalion commanders.”

The group nodded quickly:

"Don't worry, Captain, we will cooperate fully."

"Ok!"

Without saying much more, Su Yu had them take stock of their spoils, and then went to the main hall of the Demon King's Palace to examine the spoils they had just collected.

Four Symbols Star Soul Banner (Tier 7): Rare and exotic treasure. It can refine the souls of spirits and monsters into star souls. Each star soul grants additional attributes. Star Soul: 0/108.

Attributes: None; Special Feature: Star Refining Demon Soul.

Attributes: Activates the power of the four elements, condenses star power flying swords to injure enemies, base damage 1000, magic damage bonus 50%, maximum attack range 10 kilometers, each star power flying sword consumes 50 mana points.

Equipment requirement: Qi Refining Technique Level 60.

Of the two seventh-tier magic treasures just now, Su Yu immediately took a liking to this one.

Judging from its attributes, it doesn't look like a seventh-tier rare magic weapon at all, but that's because the magic weapon is incomplete.

This is a magic weapon that can be upgraded; its power can only be increased by refining demon souls into the banner.

Now it's completely empty, without a single demon soul inside, so it only has basic attributes.

If one can capture 108 demon souls and refine them into it, its power will be greatly enhanced.

Furthermore, the higher the level of the demon soul refined, the greater the power.

Theoretically speaking, the power of this magical artifact has no limit.

"I'll need to find some time later to refine a good batch of demon souls."

Su Yu smacked her lips, refined the magic weapon, and equipped it, replacing the Floating Light Blade.

Although the Floating Light Blade is a sixth-tier high-quality magic weapon with extremely high destructive power, and would be a primary means of output for anyone, Su Yu currently has no shortage of output, so he hasn't used this treasure since he got it.

After waiting for almost half an hour in the Demon King's Palace, his subordinates finally finished counting everything and reported back to him:

"All the loot from the monsters, plus the materials in the demon stronghold's warehouse, are estimated to be worth 811 gold."

"Ok!"

Adding the 430 gold from selling the spoils and the 1000 gold contributed by Hu Qingfeng, the total income from this trip was 2241 gold.

"Not bad!" Su Yu pondered for a moment and said:

"We'll tally it up later. Everyone will receive 100 guild contribution points and 1 tael of gold. Squad leaders will receive an extra 200 guild contribution points and 2 taels of gold, and the company leaders will each receive 500 contribution points and 10 taels of gold. Any meritorious service will be awarded separately."

"The remaining half will be handed over to the regimental headquarters, and the other half will remain in the brigade."

This operation was carried out in the name of the brigade, and the spoils did not need to be distributed to the individual companies.

Then his subordinates did some calculations and found that a total of 96000 guild contribution points and 987 taels of gold were needed.

Of the remaining 1254 gold, half was handed over to the regimental headquarters, leaving 627 gold.

The Third Brigade currently has 755 people, and the treasury still holds 1155 taels of gold. As the brigade leader, he receives 20% of the profits, totaling 231 taels of gold.

It's worth mentioning that although the brigade only contributes 10 guilds annually, it doesn't mean that the brigade only contributes 10 guilds.

10 a year, 100 million guild contribution points in 10 years. These contribution points are mostly in the hands of the team members along with various rewards. When they exchange items with the team, these contribution points are taken back, just like currency circulation.

Therefore, the guild contribution points of the brigade headquarters are not 100,000, but several hundred thousand, so distributing these 90,000+ guild contribution points is not a problem at all.

Half an hour later, Su Yu led four squadrons away from the demon stronghold, leaving the fifth squadron to build a base there.

Su Yu wouldn't care how it was built, but anyone with a bit of foresight would have turned this base into a supply depot.

This location is deep within the Taihu Mountains, with no other towns or supply bases nearby. Once built, players active in the vicinity will stay here.

Back in Lishui Town, Su Yu couldn't wait to take the Four Symbols Star Soul Banner down to the river to refine treasures.

With lightning speed, his twin swords sliced ​​a level 96 black fish demon into several pieces. He immediately grabbed the Four Symbols Star Soul Banner and stepped forward. The banner emitted a suction force that drew the demon soul that had not yet dissipated into the banner and refined it into a star soul. He immediately checked the banner and found that a new attribute had appeared on it.

Black Fish Spirit (Trash): Health +100, sword aura deals 30 points of water attribute damage.

Su Yu immediately opened her attribute panel and found that her maximum health had increased by 100 points.

"So that's how you add it."

Su Yu thought for a moment, then casually put the demon soul into the Star Soul Banner.

Although it's useless, the Star Soul Banner is currently empty, so let's fill it up first to add attributes, and then slowly replace it with something better later.

However, after catching several black carp spirits, he discovered that even the same black carp spirits would increase different attributes.

Most of them increase the maximum health and mana, occasionally some increase the maximum physique and strength, and very rarely increase attributes such as mana and speed.

Su Yu first spent several hours collecting 108 demon souls, which increased her attributes by: HP +5800, MP +1600, Physique +220, Strength +360, and sword energy with water attribute damage +3300.

Su Yu casually waved the Star Soul Banner, and a blue sword aura flew out from the banner, landing on a grass carp spirit not far away, dealing 5600 damage.

The grass carp spirit, attacked, swung its tail and charged at him.

He remained motionless and continued to shake the Star Soul Banner, consuming 2500 mana to summon 50 sword energies that overwhelmed the grass carp spirit.

The burst of 280,000 power instantly pierced the grass carp spirit's heart like a thousand arrows.

"The power is pretty good."

Su Yu turned and told Ao Run to dive to the bottom of the Sunken Sand River and drive up some monsters that were over level 100.

We don't need any bosses; there aren't enough of them to keep up. We just need regular template experience monsters that are over level 100.

There are far more of these at the bottom of the river than in the elite templates; you can easily find several by simply chasing them.

Each time a demon came up, the sword energy of the treasure banner and the Azure Sparrow of the Hidden Sun would attack together, and after a few rounds, the demon would be worn down to death. The treasure banner would then be waved to extract the demon's soul, examine it for a while, and then decide whether to refine it into the treasure banner.

This time, not all demon souls are needed. Considering her current situation, Su Yu prioritizes refining demon souls that increase her magical power.

Even with 10,000 more health points, he couldn't withstand more than a few sword strikes, but if his mana cap could be increased by 10,000, his strength would double.

Next, Su Yu buried himself in the river and practiced diligently for almost a week, managing to collect a complete set of magic demon souls with a level of 100 or higher and all ordinary templates.

It's not that he didn't encounter any elite monsters, but for the sake of purity, although he extracted the demon souls of these elite monsters, he didn't refine them into the treasure banner. Instead, he made a soul cauldron out of soul-nourishing wood and put all these demon souls away.

Categorize them according to their attributes, and replace them as needed in the future.

For example, focus on increasing Qi and Blood.

The main focus is on enhancing physical strength.

One main accelerometer.

Even in the future, you could change to other attributes, such as a set with fire or lightning attributes, etc.

This set of 108 level 100 all-normal template magic demon souls has extremely excellent attributes: maximum magic power +16200, sword aura with water attribute damage +8100.

Only at this moment did this magic weapon finally resemble a seventh-tier rare magic weapon.

"Everything's OK!"

Su Yu rose from the bottom of the Chensha River, retrieved Ao Run, and flew towards Lishui Town.

With only a few days left, Su Yu made final arrangements for the brigade's work, held a general meeting to determine that Gu Zhiqi would take over the brigade's work on her behalf, with the other company commanders assisting from the side.

In addition, I withdrew my dividends in advance, totaling 231 gold.

With his existing funds, he now has 627 gold coins.

Two days later, Su Yu received a message from Chu Xinyue to meet up at the guild headquarters. Together with Chu Xinyue and several other guild members heading to the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, Su Yu boarded a Spirit Wing Flying Boat and left Qianyu City, embarking on their journey to the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect.
