Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 79 Becoming an Apprentice of the Suspended Lineage, the Profound Spiritual Scripture (Exquisite)
P.S., guys, I'm asking for monthly votes at the beginning of the month.
"You think."

Chu Xinyue rolled her eyes:

"When I was undergoing my tribulation, I used the Mountain and River Map to change the world, and I also had two seventh-tier defensive magic treasures, including the Heavenly Sound Bell, as well as more than a dozen sixth-tier magic treasures, along with the Tribulation Transcending Pill, the Primordial Limitless Pill, the Tribulation Transcending Platform, the Lightning-Attracting Pillar, recovery pills, and so on.

"We barely managed to survive until all the sixth-tier magic treasures melted and a few seventh-tier defensive magic treasures were destroyed."

At this point, Chu Xinyue couldn't help but tremble as she recalled the overwhelming power of the heavens when she faced the tribulation.

"I was lucky; the tribulation I faced was only of medium power. If I had encountered a high-level tribulation, even if the Heavenly Sound Bell had self-destructed, I might not have survived."

"Just focus on your cultivation. Although Feng Yunzi's cultivation level isn't very high, he can guide you daily without any problems. You have the head of the Suspended Lineage behind you, so if you really don't understand something, just ask the patriarch."

"Row!"

After shutting down the communication, Su Yu waited patiently.

I left early the next morning and followed the map that Feng Yunzi had sent me the night before, leaving Lingxiu Peak.

The Suspended Peak lineage is located on Suspended Mountain, a giant peak suspended in the air. According to the information Su Yu found out, it seems that the true immortal ancestor of the Suspended Peak lineage used great magic to lift the giant peak and suspend it in the air.

Yes, the Suspended Lineage once produced true immortals.

Or, to put it another way, in the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, as long as one can advance to the level of a True Immortal, one is qualified to establish one's own lineage.

Therefore, the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect has a total of twenty-three branches, representing that at least twenty-three True Immortals have been born in the sect's history.

Half an hour later, Su Yu saw the divine peak surrounded by endless spiritual light and precious light in the distance. He looked up and had a feeling that the entire divine peak might be transformed from a magical artifact.

He stopped before the sacred peak, and a sliver of precious light parted, revealing a young man flying over:
"This is the Suspended Mountain. Who comes here?"

Su Yu quickly clasped his hands in a salute and said:
"Su Yu has come to pay homage to Master Feng Yunzi!"

"So you are Master Feng Yunzi's disciple. Master Feng Yunzi has already told me. You can go in now."

"The academy of your master is located halfway up the mountain. You can fly up from here and you will see it when you get there."

"Thank you, senior brother."

"Fellow disciples, there's no need to be so polite."

Su Yu cupped his hands in greeting, then took to the air and flew up the mountain.

As soon as he entered through the defensive barrier, he felt an overwhelming surge of spiritual energy rushing towards him.

The mountain is dotted with pavilions, towers, and tall buildings. There is even a small river that meanders around the mountain like a jade belt, extending all the way to the foot of the mountain like a waterfall.

After flying less than a kilometer, I saw a manor surrounded by a small river and flower walls. As soon as I got close, golden light shot up into the sky like an inverted bowl of light protecting the area. Above it, four characters were gathered in golden light: He Miao Dao Yuan.

"So that's it."

After passing several Taoist temples and other temples of immortal masters on the suspended mountain, Su Yu finally saw Fengyun Taoist Temple located on the mountainside.

He stopped in front of the courtyard, and just as he clasped his hands in greeting and was about to speak, someone flew out and laughed loudly:
"Is that Junior Brother Su Yu?"

The newcomer was a young man dressed in a moon-white robe. He waved his hand, parting the light barrier, and said with a smile:

"I am your third senior brother, Shi Chunan."

Su Yu quickly bowed:

"Su Yu greets Third Senior Brother."

"No problem, no problem, let's go, Master is waiting."

After saying that, she took his hand and led him into the Taoist temple, heading straight for the central building.

Upon entering the main hall, one immediately sees the young man from the previous interview sitting at the head of the hall, with a bright-eyed, white-toothed young woman in palace attire sitting beside him.

Su Yu stepped forward and bowed respectfully:

"Su Yu greets Master!"

Feng Yunzi Jin Yinian nodded, reached out and gently lifted him up with an invisible force, saying:

"Can!"

“From this day forward, you will be my sixth disciple.”

"This is your third senior brother, Shi Chunan, and this is your fifth senior sister, Jin Qianyue."

Su Yu quickly bowed:

"Su Yu greets Third Senior Brother and Fifth Senior Sister."

Shi Chunan accepted his greeting with graciousness, and the beautiful young woman returned the greeting with a slight smile.

Jin Yinian pointed, and a bright yellow prayer mat flew over and landed behind Shi Chunan:

"sit."

Su Yu bowed again and sat upright on the prayer mat.

Jin Yinian nodded in approval at his politeness and manners, but his face remained serious as he said in a deep voice:

"My real name is Jin Yinian, and my Taoist name is Fengyunzi. I am the head of the Suspended Void lineage and the 122nd disciple of your grandmaster. I have only recently started accepting disciples, and there are only a few of you under my tutelage. I hope that you will unite in friendship, help each other, and make progress together."

The group responded in unison:

"I will humbly obey my teacher's teachings!"

"Su Yu!"

"The disciple is here."

"Just follow me."

With a wave of his sleeve, Jin Yinian was enveloped in a cloud of light and soared into the air, flying out of the main hall and towards the suspended mountain. Jin Yinian's voice rang in his ears:

"As a newcomer, you need to meet your grandmaster and then go to the ancestral hall of this lineage before your name can be recorded in the jade register, and only then can you receive the lineage's inheritance. I will now take you to see your grandmaster, so perform well."

"Disciple, please remember this!"

He was suddenly enveloped in clouds and mist, and then his feet lost their footing. As the clouds dispersed, he found himself in a grand hall.

Surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, jade pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes stand tall amidst the clouds and mist. In the distance, a soaring spiritual light ripples, and several figures can be faintly seen.

Just as he was about to take a closer look, the figures appeared before him in an instant; they were two elderly men with white hair and youthful faces, dressed in simple robes.

The robes were simple, but embroidered with the sun, moon, and stars, and the faint glow enveloped them, making them look like celestial beings.

He was wondering who this was when he saw Jin Yinian immediately bow down:

"Master, it's my thirty-sixth senior brother!"

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately knelt down:

"Grand-disciple Su Yu pays respects to the ancestral master and senior master."

Without any visible movement, an invisible force lifted Su Yu up. The two elderly people looked him up and down and nodded.

"good."

One of the old men reached out and beckoned, and a stream of light from the sky flew into his hand and gathered into a golden book. The old man reached out and grabbed Su Yu, who was momentarily dazed. He then saw a point of spiritual light fly out and gather in the old man's palm. He gently tossed it into the golden book and instantly felt a connection between himself and the book.

"Note: Your Divine Soul Register is protected by the Golden Book, reducing the penalty for normal death by 50%."

"Wonderful!"

This suggestion made Su Yu very happy.

No one would complain about having a longer lifespan.

At this moment, the old man closed the golden book, gently tossed it, and it transformed into a stream of light that flew into the depths of the hall. With a flick of his sleeve, two flying swords flew out, transforming into streams of light that hovered in front of Su Yu, and he said:

"I see that your swordsmanship is quite good. This pair of flying swords is something I acquired when I was young, and they are perfect for you."

Su Yu quickly bowed:

"Disciple thanks Grandmaster for bestowing this treasure!"

He stretched out his hands, and two streams of light landed in them; without even looking closely, he put them away. The old man nodded and waved his hand.

"Go!"

"Disciple/Grand-disciple takes his leave!"

The master and apprentice turned and left.

After they left the main hall, the suspended head monk asked the old man beside him:
"How is this disciple, Yi Nian?"

"His natural talent is average, but his swordsmanship is exceptional and his combat ability is quite good."

The master and disciple descended from the top of the suspended mountain and returned to Fengyun Taoist Temple. The third senior brother and the fifth senior sister were still there.

Feng Yunzi Jin Yinian, seated at the head of the table, said in a deep voice:
"Su Yu, kneel down!"

He immediately knelt down.

"From this moment forward, you are a formal disciple of the Suspended Mountain lineage, and today you will receive the sect's inherited great technique!"

Jin Yinian stepped down from the stage, reached out and pressed his hand on his forehead. Immediately, a surge of divine thought rushed into his mind, transforming into countless tadpole-shaped runes that converged into a scripture in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Prompt: Jin Yinian is imparting to you the profound and subtle Scripture of Dongxuan Linggan. Do you wish to learn it?"

Su Yu immediately agreed. The next second, countless tadpole-shaped runes scattered and transformed into streams of spiritual energy that surged into her body, seeping into all the meridians of her limbs and bones. It circulated through a large cycle in a way different from the Purple Origin Qi Refining Technique she had previously practiced, and finally converged into her dantian.

He immediately opened the panel, which showed that the Qi cultivation method he was practicing had changed from the Purple Origin Qi Refining Technique (Intermediate) to the Profound Spiritual Scripture (Exquisite).

The Profound Inspiration Scripture (Exquisite): A profound method for cultivating Qi in the Xuanmen sect. Each level increases Qi and Blood by 50, Mana by 100, Spell Power by 50, and Mana Recovery by 0.2.

Cultivation requirements: 20 points of innate bone, 15 points of innate understanding.

Furthermore, with the change in the cultivation method, the level has also been reduced from the original seventy levels to forty levels, a significant decrease.

Forty layers of health: +2000, mana: +4000, spell power: +2000, mana regeneration: +8.

Due to the talent, at level 40, health increases by 4000, mana by 8000, spell power increases by 4000, and mana regeneration increases by 16 points per second.

In addition, although the skill level has been compressed, the various spells derived from it have not disappeared.

[Protective Aura]: Condenses a layer of aura with mana to protect the body. Each layer increases defense by 500 points, reduces damage by 30%, and increases mana conversion rate by 3 points per layer. The aura takes 30 minutes to restart if it breaks.

Due to the influence of talent, each level of the cultivation technique increases defense by 1000 points. Damage reduction is fixed at the cultivation technique grade, remaining at 30%. Mana conversion rate increases by 6 points per level.

The 40-layer protective aura increases defense by 40000, reduces damage by 30%, and increases mana conversion rate by 240 points.

[Qi-Controlling Flight]: Use magic power to control qi and take to the air. The base height is 500 meters, and each level of cultivation increases the height by 50 meters. The base speed is 200 kilometers per hour, and each level of cultivation increases the speed by 25 kilometers per hour. The magic power consumption is 15 points per second.

Due to his innate talent, his base height is 1000 meters, and each level of cultivation increases his height by 100 meters. His base speed is 400 kilometers per hour, and each level of cultivation increases his speed by 50 kilometers per hour. He consumes 15 mana points per second.

The 40th level of Qi-based flight increases altitude by 5000 meters, speed by 2400 km/h, and mana consumption by 15 points per second.

【Dongxuan Qi Finger】: Uses mana to condense qi to penetrate the enemy. The base damage is 100% of the base spell damage of the Qi Refining Technique. Each level of the technique increases the attack range by 50 meters. Mana cost is 200 points. Cooldown time is 15 seconds.

Due to the talent, the base damage is 200% of the Qi Refining Technique's base spell damage. Each level of the technique increases the attack range by 100 meters, costs 200 mana, and has a 15-second cooldown.

Forty-layered Xuanqi Finger: 8000 spell damage, 4000-meter attack range, 200 mana cost, 15-second cooldown.

[Transmitting Sound Across a Thousand Miles]: Infuse your magic power into your voice and transmit it over a thousand miles. The base distance is 50 kilometers, and each level of cultivation increases the distance by 5 kilometers.

Due to innate talent, the base distance is 100 kilometers, and each level of cultivation increases it by 10 kilometers.

The sound can travel a thousand miles through the forty layers, and the spell can be cast over a distance of 500 kilometers.

In addition, the Dongxuan Linggan Zhenjing also includes a thunder technique—Chixiao Beiji Xian Lei (Xuanmiao).

Crimson Sky North Pole Celestial Thunder (Mysterious): A mysterious level thunder technique that gathers the essence of the nine heavens and the aurora borealis to transform into divine thunder, exorcising evil and refining demons.

Attributes: Base power 2000, casting range 2000, damage radius 50 meters, mana cost 500 points, cooldown 10 seconds.

Each level increases base power by 200, casting range by 200, damage radius by 5 meters, and mana cost by 30.

Due to the talent, the base power is 4000, the casting range is 4000, the damage radius is 100 meters, the mana cost is 500 points, and the cooldown time is 10 seconds.

Each level increases base power by 400, casting range by 400, damage radius by 10 meters, and mana cost by 30.

"Great!"

Once this thing is raised, it will become another incredibly powerful weapon.

At this moment, Jin Yinian's voice rang out again:

"Your senior brothers were all given treasures upon entering the sect. What kind of magic weapon do you want? A defensive or offensive one, or perhaps a seventh-tier flying sword?"

Su Yu quickly replied:

"This disciple desires a flying boat, or a flying magical artifact."

He has no shortage of methods now. For defense, he has the Azure Cloud Canopy, and the attribute of being immune to all spells is much stronger than that of a typical seventh-tier defensive magic weapon.

For offensive magic weapons, there are the Four Symbols Star Soul Banners. I also received two flying swords from the Suspended Ancestor before meeting him. I haven't had time to check their attributes yet, but I don't need them.

The only thing missing was a flying boat; the spirit fish shuttle he had was only a third-grade magic weapon, and it was already outdated.

This choice probably surprised Jin Yinian. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"I don't have a suitable flying boat. You should get to know your third senior brother and fifth senior sister first. I'll be right back."

After saying that, he transformed into a beam of light and rushed out of the main hall, disappearing in an instant.

As soon as Master left, the third senior brother stood up and said with a grin:

"Junior brother, don't worry. Master doesn't have a suitable flying boat. We should go ask the Ancestral Master for one now."

"what"

"You'll get used to it. Your master is the last disciple of the patriarch. He has only recently graduated and doesn't have much money, so he can only ask the patriarch for help."

Su Yu's lips twitched, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Junior brother, where are you from? Where did you cultivate before?"

“I come from the Shenzhou Islands, and I used to train at the Qianyu Association.”

Where does Qianyu go?

"A small guild on the lower reaches of the Yuan River."

"Oh, is it far?"

"It's very far, tens of millions of kilometers away from the sect."

"That's quite far."

Shi Chunan smacked his lips and asked again:
"Junior brother, what are your strengths? How good are you at combat?"

Su Yu humbly said:

"I am skilled in swordsmanship, and my combat skills are also passable."

"Oh, have you unlocked the swordsmanship realm yet? What level are you at?"

"His sword energy and thunderous sound are already mastered, but his ability to condense sword energy into threads is still in its infancy, and he has only made some progress."

Shi Chunan sighed in surprise:
"Junior brother's swordsmanship talent is so outstanding?"

Even the Fifth Senior Sister, who had been listening silently and maintaining a ladylike demeanor, brightened up and asked in a clear voice:

"With such talent in swordsmanship, why doesn't Junior Brother join one of the major sword lineages of our sect?"

Su Yu had already prepared her reply:
"Although I have some talent in swordsmanship, I do not have the purity of a sword immortal. It is difficult to reach the peak on this path. In my heart, the way of the sword is just a means of protection. The core is still Qi cultivation."

"Well"

"That being said, it is indeed a waste of your talent in swordsmanship."

Su Yu remained silent. This was a difficult question to answer. She couldn't very well say that she had no talent for swordsmanship at all and that her current level of swordsmanship was entirely due to her innate talent.

You should know that his talent is not only for swordsmanship, but for all Taoist arts, which are doubly enhanced. It would be a waste to only pursue swordsmanship.
