Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 185 - 96: Accidental Harvest, Nameless Sword Dao_2
The minimum standard is to enhance a Taoist technique by more than 10 levels without any conditions.
Note, this is the minimum standard.
If one’s comprehension is high enough, it’s possible to increase it by 30 or 40 levels in one go, or even go from level 1 to level 100 fully.
Additionally, the Immortal’s Manual contains the cultivation of an Immortal, and if one’s comprehension is high enough or certain conditions are met, there’s a chance to comprehend the Taoist techniques or Divine Techniques cultivated by the Immortal.
What are the Taoist techniques and Divine Techniques cultivated by an Immortal?
Dare not imagine.
This is an absolute top-grade treasure, with good luck, it could propel one to the skies.
But it’s just too expensive, at a super high price of 15,000 taels of gold, more expensive than an ordinary Tier Eight Treasure.
In fact, if it weren’t that this item is too dependent on comprehension, and even with high comprehension, there’s only a chance and not a guarantee to comprehend, it definitely wouldn’t be at this price.
Su Yu assessed his own assets, not mentioning cash, there are only eight hundred gold left.
The only thing sellable on him is the set of the Four Symbols Thunder God Array, altogether selling for eight thousand gold is not an issue. Selling the Nine Orifice Treasure Pearl and a few other Tier Six treasures would be around four hundred gold. Adding cash, it’s just over nine thousand, far less than fifteen thousand gold.
"Can’t afford it."
"Really can’t afford it!"
Indeed, one could borrow, but not much could be borrowed.
Master would certainly lend some, but not seven or eight thousand gold, right?
Chu Xinyue could also lend some, but at most around one thousand gold.
The guild could probably provide some, but not too much, as the main group itself doesn’t have much money.
Drooling everywhere, completely helpless.
"Sigh!"
He regretfully bookmarked the merchant guild for future reference.
Currently, it’s unaffordable, so he can only hope that after earning enough money in the future, this item hasn’t been sold yet.
Although that possibility is small.
Closing the panel, Su Yu had no mood to continue browsing and went straight to bed.
A quiet night, and early the next morning, he first went to the intelligence agency to purchase a local map. Centered on Feixing Island, it illuminated the area within a million kilometers, the influence range of Feixing Island.
He browsed the newly lit map and quickly found the Mingsu Palace located on Jinjiao Island, over seven hundred thousand kilometers to the east.
"Let’s keep going, train while heading over."
Su Yu opened the panel to bid farewell to his newly added friend, Qe Dongyang.
"Safe travels, Mr. Su!"
Su Yu cupped his fist in salute:
"Once I find my second brother, I’ll stop by Rage Tide Gang to see Mr. Qe on my way back."
"I’ll be waiting."
"Goodbye!"
After saying goodbye to Qe Dongyang, Su Yu flew east from Feixing Island.
Crossing Feixing Island, he saw the mountains, rivers, and landscapes on the island, no different from the mainland.
If placed on Earth, the total area of Feixing Island would already surpass Earth’s, but in the Other Shore World, it’s just an island.
And the Blue Mountain Island, far exceeding the total area of Feixing Island, stretches twenty to thirty million kilometers east to west, nearly forty million kilometers north to south, also just an island, not a continent.
And according to what Su Yu learned from his master, this world indeed has immortal lands, which sect seniors have visited, but it’s countless distances away from Blue Mountain Island, spanning billions of kilometers. Even at an Immortal’s speed, it would take over a hundred years to traverse.
This shows the Other Shore World’s vastness beyond ordinary imagination, making it difficult for ordinary cultivators to leave their birthplace in a lifetime.
If given the chance, Su Yu would like to visit the legendary immortal land.
But that would certainly be in the very distant future, only after crossing two Celestial Tribulations and advancing to Earth Immortal would he have the strength to traverse these distant seas.
A day later, Su Yu crossed Feixing Island and entered the vast ocean once again.
He continued training and upgrading at a leisurely pace.
Not in a hurry, he trained with Ao Run during the day and hid within the Sea-Suppressing Pearl at night, utilizing the tenfold time flow within to study life skills, quite at ease.
Sword Qi shattered the atmosphere and split the sea, slicing a monstrous fish in two.
Without pause, several monstrous fish gathered.
With twin swords flashing like lightning, blood splattered.
Simultaneously grabbing with both hands, two sword gangs flew out, crisscrossing and twisting, slicing several monstrous fish into pieces, blood seeping into the seawater, attracting more creatures.
On the other side, Ao Run charged directly into a school of monstrous fish, continuously blasting with Meridian Cold Tide and Gui Water Divine Thunder, enjoying it thoroughly.
The endless ocean’s abundance of life far surpassed any inland waters.
Various sea fishes, crabs, lobsters, bizarre clams, sharks, and whales, sea eels, sea snakes, and occasionally encountering sea dragons, all more ferocious and larger in scale than their inland counterparts.
Inland rivers had groups of monsters ranging from a few hundred to a thousand, occasionally thousands for large groups.
But at sea, any random group numbered in the thousands or tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or millions, extraordinarily large.
And within such large groups, there are undoubtedly creatures over Level 100, with thousands or even tens of thousands of Level 100+ experienced creatures forcing even Ao Run to flee.
"Oh!"
While clearing a group of several thousand creatures and collecting the spoils, Su Yu discovered a Nameless Sword Dao scripture within.
Nameless Sword Dao (???): Cultivating it can enhance Sword Qi power, increasing Sword Qi damage by 10 points and sharpness by 10 points with each level.
"Is there such a technique?"
The bonus isn’t massive, even at full 100 levels, it only adds 1000 points of Sword Qi damage and 1000 points of sharpness. With talent doubling, that’s just 2000 points of Sword Qi damage and 2000 points of sharpness.
Note, it strengthens the Sword Qi damage, not the Sword Control attack damage.
Sharpness is akin to armor penetration, ignoring as much defense as the sharpness value.
points of sharpness means ignoring 2000 points of defense or physical fortitude.
Su Yu thought that since he hadn’t studied similar techniques, he might as well learn it, any improvement is a bonus.
He tapped the scripture, transforming it into light that entered his body, with Nameless Sword Dao appearing in the Taoist technique panel. Checking the upgrade requirements, going from zero to ten levels required 660,000 cultivation points and 20 Taoism, a low demand similar to learning an intermediate technique back then.
He glanced at the accumulated vast cultivation points and ample Taoism, and began upgrading without hesitation.
660,000 cultivation points and 20 Taoism to elevate to ten levels.
1,320,000 cultivation points and 40 Taoism to reach twenty levels.
5,620,000 cultivation points and 60 Taoism to thirty levels.
12,500,000 cultivation points and 100 Taoism for forty levels.
Another 27,000,000 cultivation points and 150 Taoism for fifty levels.
A total of 48,100,000 cultivation points plus 360 Taoism were consumed to elevate this technique to fifty levels, enhancing Sword Qi power by 1000 points and sharpness by 1000.
And that was it, no special abilities emerged.
"It’s purely for damage enhancement!"
But he rubbed his chin, feeling it couldn’t be that simple.
"Let’s max it out."
"The requirements aren’t that high anyway."
He closed his eyes and frantically added points, quickly depleting the accumulated cultivation points and Taoism in the experience pool.
Fortunately, his previous accumulation was abundant. He had 677,500,000 cultivation points and 491 Taoism left before setting out, and subsequently, while training en route, mainly eliminating Level 100+ large monsters and various bosses, the cultivation points didn’t accumulate much, but Taoism exceeded a thousand. Now he had a total of 852,200,000 cultivation points and 1,560 Taoism.
Su Yu consumed 765,000,000 cultivation points and 1,260 Taoism in one go, raising it to ninety levels in one breath.
"Still some way to go."
"Okay, quite a bit to go."
From ninety to a hundred levels requires exactly 970,000,000 cultivation points and 1,000 Taoism, and he was still short quite a bit.
But it wasn’t a major issue; at his current monster-slaughtering speed, a little effort would gather it in two months.
Achieving full level in a Taoist technique within two months is quite an efficient pace.
Closing the panel, Su Yu happily continued his journey.
During ongoing training, he clearly noticed how exaggerated this technique’s enhancement to Sword Qi was, with ninety levels amplifying Sword Qi power and sharpness by 1,800, doubled by talent.
The physique of ordinary or inferior model experience monsters below Level 100 didn’t exceed two thousand points, and Sword Qi power could almost max out 100%.
And what delighted him more was that Taibai Sword Gang also belonged to the Sword Qi category, inherently a condensed Sword Qi, thus receiving the enhancement.
Su Yu’s current Sword Gang dealt 4,880 damage, and adding the Nameless Sword Dao’s 1,800, totaling 6,680 damage, almost maxed out, with two strings of Sword Gang crisscrossing for attack efficiency surpassing Lightning Strike and Wan Jun.
