Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 82 - 40: Under the Yuanjiang River, Tracking
Every morning when he goes over, he is grinding monsters at the bottom of the river.
When he finishes work and returns to the city, he is still grinding monsters at the bottom of the river.
When Su Yu goes to sleep, the panel occasionally hints at gaining slaughter experience, and sometimes gives a few points of Dao proficiency.
At Ao Run’s strong request, after Su Yu finishes work, their experience ratio will be adjusted to 1:9, he gets one tenth, Ao Run gets nine tenths, and when he goes to work during the day, it’s adjusted back to 7:3.
In just four or five days, he has leveled up again.
"I said last time in the secret realm he was just at level 121, now he’s level 126 when we meet again, turns out he’s so diligent!"
This is a good thing, it means there’s a promising future.
Both the person and the dragon are so diligent, experience flows quickly, especially as the dragon deals with high-level monsters, all above level eighty, sometimes diving to the bottom of the river to catch elite monsters at levels eighty or ninety and small bosses, plus there’s a 10% yield during nighttime rest, altogether the day’s total income exceeds 1.8 million slaughter experience.
Unknowingly, another month has passed, Su Yu looks at the accumulated 61.2 million slaughter experience in the experience pool, feeling powered.
"In about half a month, I will be able to upgrade the Taibai Sword Scripture to the sixtieth layer, by then Lan Yiyi’s threat will be insignificant."
"But Ding Lingyu....."
Su Yu rubs his brow, feeling a little lacking.
"The defense can be breached, but defeating is not easy."
"At least another sixth-order flying sword is needed for confidence, but if wanting a sure win, either the Taibai Sword Scripture has to be upgraded to the sixtieth layer, or the swordsmanship realm needs to be improved by one more layer."
"Considering Ding Lingyu certainly won’t stay stagnant and will also progress, both conditions must be met."
Su Yu pondered for a while, and sent a message to Chu Xinyue:
"Leader, is there a swordsmanship expert in the guild who can spare some time to guide my swordsmanship?"
After a while, she replied:
"The guild has several swordsmanship experts, the strongest among them is Liao Fusheng Sword Immortal, his mastery of Sword Qi Thunder Sound is superb, and he knows Condensing Sword into Silk and Sword Light Division, very strong indeed."
"But most of the time he is in his own sect, rarely returning once a month, and his course fee is very expensive, 10 gold per session, each session lasts one hour."
"So expensive?"
This price startled Su Yu.
"Expensive for good reason, his reputation is very good, earns money through proper means, and sincerely teaches, you’ve been exploring on your own, watching the Memory Stone, but relying solely on this won’t make you comprehend higher-level swordsmanship realms, learning a few lessons from him definitely won’t be a loss." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Su Yu pondered for a while, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind, asked:
"How do I sign up, I don’t know Mr. Liao."
"Leave this to me, when he returns next time I’ll get Xiaoyu to contact you."
"Thank you, leader."
Closing the communication, Su Yu’s thoughts shifted back to Ding Lingyu.
"To assuredly win against Ding Lingyu, both plans must be carried out."
"Before the next small assessment, I can definitely accumulate enough slaughter experience to upgrade the Taibai Sword Scripture to the sixtieth layer, now what’s needed is a good flying sword to pair with the concealment."
The Ice Soul is only fourth-order, too low damage to even breach Lan Yiyi’s defense, let alone Ding Lingyu.
"A sixth-order flying sword cost at least 100 gold or over 5000 contribution, for a good flying sword need to prepare at least 7000 to 8000 contribution."
"Have to keep some money for signing up to courses, surely can’t spend money buying flying swords, have to rely on contribution exchanges."
Su Yu pondered for a while and sent a message to Chu Xiaoyu:
"Xiaoyu, is there any activity recently in the second group to earn guild contribution?"
Chu Xiaoyu quickly responded:
"Recently no major actions, only some simple daily tasks, collecting materials to exchange for contributions, the guild has that, check for yourself."
"Got it!"
He closed the communication, opened the guild channel panel to check, and quickly found the two daily tasks mentioned by Chu Xiaoyu.
Just two infinitely repeatable daily tasks, both are collection tasks.
One is long-term collection of various spiritual medicines, contributions given based on the grade of spiritual medicine.
One is long-term collection of various spiritual minerals, contributions given based on the grade of spiritual minerals.
These two tasks don’t require check-in, just bring the unwanted materials directly to the logistics department to submit.
"Spiritual minerals, spiritual medicines."
Su Yu pondered holding his chin for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, bought something from Thousand Feather Pavilion before flying outside the city.
Soon arriving at Chensha River, he plunged into the water, diving straight to a thousand meters depth, swinging his sword to kill nearby wandering Aquatic Race monsters, and waited in place.
Half an hour later a dragon swam over, Su Yu flipped and mounted Ao Run’s back, patting the ice blue jade-like scales and asked:
"Do you usually see any spiritual medicines or spiritual minerals at the bottom of the river?"
Ao Run spoke human words:
"What kind of spiritual medicines or spiritual minerals?"
Su Yu took out the spiritual medicine and mineral encyclopedia jade scroll just bought at Thousand Feather Pavilion and pressed it onto Ao Run’s forehead, said:
"From now on pay attention underwater, collect anything you see inside."
Ao Run quietly stood in the water, slowly receiving numerous data stored in the jade scroll, after nearly fifteen minutes he awakened and said:
"I previously discovered many Cyan Cold Lotuses somewhere at the bottom of Yuanjiang River."
Su Yu immediately checked the jade scroll, it showed 100-year Cyan Cold Lotus 1 guild contribution per plant, hurriedly asked:
"Where, is it far?"
"Several thousand miles away."
"Is it dangerous?"
Ao Run looked back at him:
"Certainly dangerous for you."
"No worry, I can hide myself."
Two layers of Jiezhi Concealment Skill plus Invisibility Skill should be enough.
If necessary, upgrade Invisibility Skill one more layer, double-layer Jiezhi Concealment Skill plus double-layer Invisibility Skill absolutely enough.
