Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 79 - 38: Subduing the Boss, Cyan Flood Dragon Ao Run
He took a deep look at Su Yu, memorizing his appearance, took a deep breath to suppress his anger, and turned to leave.
Outside the town, Kong He’an met up with his arriving subordinates, and Kang Tianqi asked:
"Captain, you didn’t catch him?"
Kong He’an shook his head:
"He’s from the Thousand Feather Guild, protected by Wu Qingfeng."
"What should we do then?"
"No worries, I’ve memorized his face. We’ll find out who he is when we return."
His face was filled with murderous intent, clenching his teeth:
"Just don’t let me get the chance. I’ll make him learn what death means."
"Let’s go!"
Inside the town, Su Yu sighed in relief as Kong He’an left, then went to Wu Qingfeng, clasped his hands, and bowed in gratitude:
"Su Yu thanks Mr. Wu for saving my life."
When Wu Qingfeng turned around, his stern expression turned into a smile, and waved him off:
"It’s a small matter, you’re part of our guild, how could I stand by and do nothing?"
"Even so, I can’t forget such life-saving grace. While I lack strength now, I’ll repay this kindness once I achieve something."
Wu Qingfeng laughed heartily:
"Fair enough, fair enough."
They chatted for a bit before Su Yu took his leave.
He activated the Great Transposition Talisman and, fifteen seconds later, was teleported back to Thousand Feather City.
Once back at his place, Su Yu closed the door and immediately checked his panel.
Having taken down a level 150+ big BOSS, even snagging just the final blow and a portion of the experience and skill, with the Golden Finger’s boost, he still gained over 1.4 million kill experience and 130 skill points.
"What a thrill!"
Next, he opened his personal space, revealing three new spoils and a BOSS demon carcass. As he checked them one by one, a growing sense of joy filled his face.
The three spoils were a material, an equipment, and a damaged Inner Core.
The material was 32 units of Golden Thunder Crab Paste, which enhanced the physique +10 and strength +10 when consumed, up to 10 units.
The equipment was a tier seven accessory called the Golden Turtle Ring.
Golden Turtle Ring (Tier Seven): Flying Sword Damage +200, Attack Speed +200, Sword Control Speed +200 km/h, Flying Sword Slot +1.
Damaged Golden Turtle Crab Inner Core: Alchemy material.
He immediately equipped the ring, and on his panel, flying sword damage, attack speed, and sword control speed all increased by +200. But what he cared about the most was the flying sword slot; as expected, it increased from one to two, allowing him to equip two flying swords simultaneously.
Without hesitation, he decisively equipped the Ice Soul Sword.
With a flick of his finger, the Sun Concealing Sword flew out, hovering in front of him. Then he pointed at the Ice Soul, which also floated in front of him.
"With two flying sword slots, I can wield two flying swords at once now."
"Tomorrow, when I return to Thousand Feather City, I can take the time to practice using two flying swords in battle simultaneously."
After some casual practice, he retracted the flying swords and turned his gaze to the third piece of loot, clicking his tongue a bit in regret.
With the Golden Turtle Crab General’s template and level, its Inner Core could either be refined into a high-grade Spirit Pill or crafted into a tier seven Magical Treasure.
But unfortunately, it self-destructed the Inner Core before dying, causing damage. Now it can’t even be used to create a six-tier treasure, only for medicinal alchemy, with an estimated market value of seven or eight taels of gold, not even ten.
In addition, there’s the corpse of the Golden Turtle Crab General. Its crab paste and meat are exquisite delicacies and can be excavated for personal consumption or handed to a chef for culinary processing.
It’s worth mentioning that most materials on the corpses of mystical monsters that yield spoils cannot be reused.
For example, the massive crab shell is so tough it could theoretically be turned into protective armor.
The gigantic crab claws could be made into weapons.
The crab paste is known as Golden Thunder Crab Paste.
But after yielding the spoils, the materials on the corpse lose their magical properties.
The crab shell and claws become fragile; the crab paste still tastes great but loses its attribute-enhancing effects, leaving only the edible flesh.
The shell of this Giant Golden Turtle Crab spans nearly a hundred meters in diameter, with enough internal crab paste and meat to excavate perhaps over a hundred tons, potentially selling for over ten taels of gold.
Storing the body, Su Yu took out a piece of Golden Thunder Crab Paste, its vibrant golden hue emitting faint golden lightning flickers.
He ate it raw, thrusting it into his mouth, where an intense deliciousness surged straight to his mind.
As the crab paste melted in his throat, it transformed into a warm stream, merging into his body and quickly strengthening his physique.
Without hesitation, he devoured ten pieces of Golden Thunder Crab Paste in one go, and quickly checked the panel, noticing the attribute panel showing physique and strength both increased by 200, and with the Magical Robe adding 200 each, he had a total of 400 in both physique and strength.
"Fantastic!"
After closing the panel, Su Yu’s eyes turned towards the still-sleeping Cyan Flood Dragon in his arms.
He pinched the neck of the dragon, about as thick as an arm, and pulled it out, shaking it:
"Hey, wake up."
Shaking its head and wagging its tail, there was no response.
"Is it really asleep?"
He didn’t believe it and kept shaking.
Soon, a mouthful of water sprayed onto his face, and the cyan flood dragon wobbled as it lifted its head, speaking human words:
"Do you understand respecting the injured? I’m dying."
Su Yu took out a few Blood Lotus Elixirs from his storage space and handed them to it:
"Try these."
The cyan flood dragon opened its mouth and sucked in the Blood Lotus Elixirs, but its darkened blood-hued skin didn’t move an inch.
Su Yu’s mouth twitched, and he asked:
"Is there any way to help you recover quickly?"
Heaven knows how long it would take to heal—if it takes years, that’s a waste.
If such a big BOSS can’t be used, it might as well be chopped up for loot.
The cyan flood dragon hung its head, seemingly thinking for a while, and said:
"A large amount of blood food, or a Demon Beast Inner Elixir, or healing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, or a place rich in Spiritual Qi."
"Would this work?"
He directly took out the damaged Golden Turtle Crab Inner Elixir.
The cyan flood dragon’s eyes lit up instantly, and it extended its head to swallow the Golden Turtle Crab Inner Elixir before Su Yu could even react.
"Not bad, but it’s a pity that too much of the essence has been lost. It’s still lacking somewhat."
The cyan flood dragon smacked its lips, its body scales began to glow gently, then it wobbled and fell asleep in his arms again.
Su Yu used his hand to lift the limp cyan flood dragon and checked it from side to side, just about to lift its tail to see if it was male or female when the dragon’s tail slapped his face.
"Pervert!"
.....
Su Yu was speechless, awkwardly put it down.
He opened the notification panel, and there were two notifications.
Feeding Golden Turtle Crab Elixir +5 intimacy points.
Checking for gender -10 intimacy points.
Previously 20 intimacy points, now only 15.
"What a loss."
Shaking his head, he placed it in the room, turned back to search a bit in the guild channel, and spent a total of 15 taels of gold to buy a Fifth Grade belt called the Spirit Cage. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Spirit Cage Belt (Fifth Grade): A belt refined with Thousand-Year Spiritual Silkworm Silk, containing a universe within.
Attributes: Qi and Blood +150, Mana +150.
Attribute: Spirit Cage, containing fifty mu of Spirit Pet Space, can house pets or mounts within, accelerating their recovery speed.
With the item in hand, he equipped it and then placed the sleeping cyan flood dragon inside.
Then he fell asleep.
The night passed in silence, until he woke up the next morning.
Su Yu stretched lazily, suddenly turned sharply, and saw a cyan flood dragon as thick as his arm coiled on the bed.
He quickly checked the Spirit Cage Space, and it was empty inside.
Reaching out, he pinched the flood dragon and lifted it up, asking in confusion:
"How did you come out on your own?"
The cyan flood dragon struggled vehemently out of his hand, coiling and hanging in the air like a dragon, saying:
"How can this kind of space trap me!"
"Quite the bold statement."
Su Yu ignored the flood dragon’s tone and asked:
"Tell me your background, how do you know divine techniques? Also, don’t hide anything, share your abilities for me to see."
The cyan flood dragon used a claw to rub its forehead, where there was a small bulge that seemed like it was about to grow a horn.
After a few rubs, a layer of clear light flashed, and the scales on the flood dragon’s body transformed, changing from cyan scales to Cui Lan Jade Scales, making it look instantly majestic and dashing, its hidden attributes clearly displayed before him.
Ao Run (Elite): Leader, Level 126, Aquatic Race, Flood Dragon.
Attributes: Qi and Blood 2.78 million, Demonic Power 380,000, Attack Power 22,000, Speed 1,500 km/h, Demon Skills: Water Element Various Techniques, Walking Flood Dragon Skill, Gui Water Divine Thunder, Gui Water Divine Thunder Net, Cyan Nether Divine Breath Skill Level 127 (Exquisite Level), Nine Transformations of the Dragon Scripture Second Level (Great Divine Techniques)
"Exquisite level Qi Refining Heart Skill, Great Divine Techniques...."
Su Yu curiously examined this unexpectedly named cyan flood dragon and asked:
"Where did you learn these two divine techniques?"
This couldn’t possibly be innate, even if a flood dragon was lucky enough to receive a Dragon Race inheritance, it wouldn’t include a Qi Refining Heart Skill.
