Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 94 The Profound Qi Capture Technique

"I knew it! How could that be?"

"By the way, where are you now, and when are you coming back?"

"I won't be coming back for now; I'll stay out here and lay low for a while."

"Fine, you don't know how crazy the gods have gone. Not only are they searching for you all over the world, but they've also stationed people 24/7 at the return points and resurrection points in nearby cities. They've even issued a wanted notice, offering a reward of 10 gold coins for finding your location and confirming your coordinates, and a reward of 1000 gold coins for anyone who kills you, with no upper limit. They're trying to completely eliminate you."

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

After hanging up the call, Su Yu shrugged.

"Keep leveling up."

After practicing for several days straight, during a break, he suddenly had a brilliant idea. He transformed into a celestial ghost and, as a wisp of smoke, slipped into the refresh pool.

The refresh pool has now returned to its original state and continues to refresh monsters continuously.

These spirits completely ignored the Heavenly Ghost, letting him dive deep into the respawn point in one go. They only discovered him when he got close to the Five-Colored Divine Ox, but they did not attack him.

Upon seeing this, Su Yu's heart stirred, and he suddenly transformed from a celestial ghost back into his true form. These refreshed monsters still did not attack him, and they passed by him without reacting.

"Is it because of Tianxin or some other reason?"

The five-colored divine ox sensed his presence, raised its eyelids to glance at him, then closed its eyes and went back to sleep. However, Su Yu could see that its eyelids seemed to be twitching.

He clasped his hands in a gesture of respect:
"Brother Dao, how have you been?"

The five-colored divine ox raised its eyelids and said in a buzzing voice:
"This is not a place for you to come."

Su Yu smiled slightly. Not rushing off immediately was a good start. He reached into his robes and rummaged around for a moment, then pulled out a net full of colorful spirit fish and handed it over, saying with a smile:

"I recently became neighbors with you, fellow Daoist, so I came to visit you. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

The five-colored divine ox grunted and turned its head to continue sleeping.

Su Yu smiled, put down the bag of colorful spirit fish, clasped her hands in a fist salute, and withdrew.

After leaving the refresh pool, Su Yu continued her leveling journey.

Every few days thereafter, while leveling up, Su Yu would take a bag of five-colored spirit fish to the refresh pool to chat with the five-colored divine ox. Although the five-colored divine ox never paid any attention to him, he could clearly feel that the five-colored divine ox's attitude was becoming softer and softer each time.

That bag of colorful divine fish played a crucial role.

This thing is a spiritual object born from innate beings, containing a trace of innate energy. Players who eat it can improve their physique and strength limit, and it is an unparalleled delicacy for monsters. No one can refuse it.

"He who takes a man's money is bound to him; he who eats a man's food is bound to him." Having consumed so many Five-Colored Spirit Fish, the Five-Colored Divine Ox could no longer maintain a firm stance.

A month passed in the blink of an eye. After being bombarded with such sweet talk more than ten times, the attitude of the Five-Colored Divine Ox finally changed.

By the sixth time, he would occasionally reply with a few words.

On the twelfth time, when I saw him coming, I would take the initiative to turn over and start a conversation with him.

By the time they came for the seventeenth time a month later, they had become quite familiar with each other and could chat like brothers.

Su Yu sat cross-legged on the ground, a blazing fire before him, upon which sat a demonic tiger, its body charred and fragrant. As he turned the tiger over, he asked:
"Brother Ox, are you going to stay here forever and never leave?"

Ao Run did not avoid her at this moment; he was lying in Su Yu's arms, eating spiritual fruit and drinking wine.

At this moment, the Five-Colored Divine Ox had shrunk many times over, lying beside the fire like an elephant. With one hand, it held a five-colored spirit fish and threw it into its mouth, while with the other hand, it held a pot of Thousand-Day Intoxication and poured it into its mouth, looking quite dashing.

"If I want to leave, I can leave anytime; I just need to find a new guardian to replace me."

"Oh!"

"Brother Niu, would you be interested in seeing the outside world?"

The five-colored divine ox shook its head and said:
"I feel very comfortable here and don't want to go out."

"That's a real shame. The outside world is much more exciting than staying here, with much better food. It seems Brother Niu won't be able to enjoy it."

The five-colored divine ox raised its eyelids and glanced at him, a strange smile appearing on its face:

"Kid, are you trying to trick me into leaving?"

Su Yu waved his hand and said with a righteous expression:
"Brother Niu, what you said hurt me deeply. I sincerely wanted to invite you to go out and see the wonders of the outside world."

"I do not believe."

He spread his hands, looking regretful.
"That's it."

"Come on, keep drinking!"

In the days that followed, Su Yu did not continue this topic, but instead talked about what she had seen and heard on the other side, as well as some strange and unusual stories she had heard in other places.

Sure enough, this piqued the interest of the Five-Colored Divine Ox.

However, his attitude remained firm; he simply refused to leave.

Su Yu didn't care. As long as he was interested, that was fine. His attitude was firm now, but who knew what would happen in the future? He didn't believe he couldn't be moved forever.

It's worth mentioning that because he was wanted by the Heavenly God Society, he was unable to complete the mission he had previously taken on to help the Green Bamboo Society.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go; the Heavenly God Society's blockade couldn't stop him. However, after the Green Bamboo Society learned of his grudge against the Heavenly God Society, they immediately stated that he didn't need to come, that the mission was considered complete, and offered him 50 gold coins for travel expenses. Getting paid for doing nothing—of course, he wouldn't refuse such a good deal.

However, this good fortune continued until, after he had been squatting there for two whole months, interference from the Celestial Society made it impossible for him to continue.

Two months after the Celestial Gods' failure to destroy the Demon Pool, the Celestial Gods finally recovered from this major defeat and began to have time to deal with him, the culprit.

First, the bounty was doubled, and then guild experts began to infiltrate the Demon Cave to search for his whereabouts and to scout out the situation inside. Su Yu would occasionally spot them while leveling up, and the more he progressed, the more frequently they appeared. Eventually, they even revealed themselves in the Demon Cave and kept an eye on him.

I definitely can't stay here any longer.

Su Yu suspected that one day a group of experts would suddenly rush in and chop her up.

If several sword immortals were to launch a surprise attack, the Five-Colored Divine Ox wouldn't even have time to save it.

"It's time to go."

"It's a shame that this is such a great place to level up."

Su Yu opened the panel. After two months of frenzied killing, he had accumulated a total of 1.085 billion killing experience points and 1300 cultivation points. Adding the cultivation points he had left over, he now had a total of 1741 cultivation points.

On average, it can accumulate up to 1800 million kill experience points per day, which is incredibly powerful.

"Before we leave, let's improve what we can."

First is the Qi Refining Technique, which requires 13750 killing experience points and 500 points of cultivation to advance to level 60.

The Sixty-Layer Cave Mystery Inspiration Scripture grants +6000 Health, +12000 Mana, +6000 Spell Power, and +24 Mana Regeneration per Second. It also gives rise to the Daoist technique—Cave Mystery One Qi Capture Technique.

The Profound Qi Capture Technique: Uses magical power to condense a large hand to capture the enemy. Each level of the technique increases power by 150 points and casting distance by 100 meters. Condensing magical power consumes 1500 points, and maintaining magical power consumes 10 points per second per level.

Immediately afterwards, invisible ripples spread across the panel, and the attributes of the newly generated grappling technique changed.

The Profound Qi Capture Technique: Uses magical power to condense a large hand to capture the enemy. Each level of the technique increases power by 300 points and casting distance by 200 meters. Condensing magical power consumes 1500 points, and maintaining magical power consumes 10 points per second per level.

With a thought, Su Yu reached out and pressed his hand towards the sky. The primordial energy gathered in the void and quickly condensed into a pure white primordial energy hand about ten acres in size.

He reached out and made a grasping motion, and the massive, ten-acre-sized hand of vital energy also grasped at him.

With a swift backhand motion, the powerful energy hand swept up several nearby wolf demons, then, with a mere grasp, unleashed several attacks dealing around 17,000 to 18,000 damage each.

When the large hand that had been holding the opponent separated, a mass of flesh slid down from the palm.

“It’s pretty powerful.”

"It's just that the mana consumption is a bit high."

Condensing a grappling technique requires 1500 mana. Maintaining a grappling technique in combat consumes mana every second, 10 points per level. At level 60, the Qi Refining Technique consumes 600 mana per second. Most players can only last for ten seconds before they can't continue.

Fortunately, Su Yu's condensation of the Supreme Dragon Immortal Bone has given him an extra boost. Well, now his mana cap is 60000, which is probably higher than that of a Loose Immortal. He can withstand this high mana consumption.

With a wave of his hand, Su Yu dispersed the grasping hand and focused his gaze on the panel. He browsed back and forth between Thunder Magic and Heavenly Ghost Avatar, and finally chose to upgrade Heavenly Ghost Avatar first.

The Heavenly Demon Transformation Technique at level 60 requires 270 million killing experience points and 750 points of cultivation to upgrade to level 70.

Seventy-Layer Heavenly Ghost Transformation: Health +140000, Mana +28000, Physique +4200, Strength +7000, Speed ​​+2800 km/h. Abilities: Heavenly Ghost Body, Five Elements Escape Technique, Illusion-Reality Transformation, Geng Metal Divine Thunder, Yi Wood Divine Thunder, Gui Water Divine Thunder, Bing Fire Divine Thunder, Xu Earth Divine Thunder.

The transformation of the seventieth floor into a demon did not generate any new abilities.

Then Su Yu glanced at the 575 million killing experience points and 1000 cultivation points required to advance to the 80th level. She had enough killing experience points, but not enough cultivation points.

After all, he had been leveling up in a corner of the demon cave for the past two months. Although mini-bosses would occasionally spawn in the demon pool, he would usually rush out directly and only a few would run to the corner.

But it's not a big problem; his strength is improving at a very rapid pace.

After closing the panel, Su Yu looked up at the Heavenly Gods player who had changed positions and was hiding somewhere, gave him the middle finger, put away Ao Run, jumped into the pool, and then transformed into a Heavenly Ghost, turning into a wisp of smoke and disappearing into the soil and rocks.

"We can't stay here any longer, and we can't complete the mission. Let's just teleport back to the sect from Crimson Sky Sword Peak."

"No, we can't go to the Crimson Sky Sword Clan's territory. They must have an ambush there."

Su Yu suddenly remembered that she had previously told them that she was a disciple of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, and they would definitely be wary of her leaving through teleportation.

"Either get away from here and find another place to level up, or teleport back to your sect from another location."

"Going back to the sect now is pointless; we still need to come out."

"Then let's find a place that the gods can't reach."

He pondered for a moment, and several places came to mind.

The main influence of the Celestial Gods Guild is in the Endless Forest and the Crimson Sky Sword Vein, including the Cangshui River region. Considering that the guild has so many rogue immortals with wide connections, it may be able to influence some more distant places, such as the Yuanjiang area, but it is still limited.

If they go to a more distant place, they are still out of reach.

"Further away"

Su Yu already had an idea in mind.

It changed direction and dived in a certain direction.
