Grinding EXP From a Demon Hunting Ship-Chapter 45: Pill Toxins Eliminated, Voodoo Death Trap
BOOM!
He tapped the ’+’ sign.
In an instant, the familiar cool sensation appeared again, surging through Su Ye’s limbs and bones.
Then, an unbearable tingling and itching sensation followed!
"Huuuh..." Su Ye took a deep breath, gritting his teeth to endure it.
As the cool sensation circulated, it penetrated deep into his marrow, cleansing his physical body.
Black elixir impurities, mixed with large, bean-sized beads of sweat, were expelled from his body!
The accumulated elixir toxins hidden within Su Ye’s body were completely eliminated, bit by bit!
A few dozen breaths later, the cool sensation faded.
Su Ye opened his eyes, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and circulated his Ghost Water Skill.
An azure-blue Magical Power appeared. It was clear and pure, without a hint of sluggishness or obscurity!
"It worked!" Su Ye’s eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed.
He had confirmed his suspicion.
Just as he’d thought, the cool sensation gained from each profession level-up could not only strengthen his body but also eliminate elixir toxins!
’Based on the amount of cool energy that just surged from the void, a double dose of elixirs should be no problem...’
’No, I should play it safe. I’ll just increase the dosage by eighty percent.’
Always leave a way out.
Don’t try to earn every last Spirit Stone!
This was Su Ye’s guiding principle.
Of course, the returns would be slightly lower.
’But... how many cultivators would be green with envy to be able to consume elixirs at this rate?’
Su Ye’s mind was at peace; he was very content.
Leaving himself some room for error was the only way to maneuver with ease!
Those who liked to dance on the edge would inevitably crash and burn one day!
...
Composing himself, Su Ye looked at the panel.
A pale blue panel appeared.
[Name: Su Ye]
[Realm: Qi Refining Level 5]
[Profession: Tide Hunter lv.3 (0/1500)] 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
[Profession Attribute Bonus: Damage +12, Protection +6]
[Exclusive Skill: Whale-Hunting Spear]
[Trait: Pierce (1/2)]
[Cultivation Techniques: Ghost Water Skill, Azure Dragon Force]
Su Ye was already aware of the changes to his attributes, so he remained unfazed.
But...
His eyes shifted slightly, focusing on the [Trait] section.
’This time, when the Tide Hunter level increased, the Whale-Hunting Spear didn’t gain a new trait.’
’Instead, it further strengthened [Pierce]?’
Su Ye could feel that after this upgrade, the [Pierce] ability of his Whale-Hunting Spear had become even more formidable!
’If I’m not mistaken, advancing to Tide Hunter lv.4 will probably also strengthen the Pierce trait...’
’So... once the [Pierce] trait is maxed out, will I get a new trait at Tide Hunter lv.5?’
The Whale-Hunting Spear was undoubtedly the most powerful offensive skill in his current arsenal.
’And as my profession level increases, and the Whale-Hunting Spear continues to be enhanced and acquire new traits, just how strong can it become?’
Su Ye let his imagination wander.
With his significant increase in strength, he felt a faint sense of anticipation for the upcoming war between the Luo and Shu Families.
’To level up quickly...’
’The experience points from each naval victory are an astonishing amount...’
...
「Meanwhile, on Fuling Island.」
"Hurry up! Harvest all this Lanzhi Grass!"
"Steward... harvest it now? This batch of Lanzhi Grass will be mature in another month."
An elderly man in gray robes, dressed as a spirit farmer, looked at the unripe Spirit Grass in the field, his heart aching to the point of tears.
After a year of diligent care, it was just about to mature, but now it had to be harvested prematurely.
"We can’t worry about that now! Harvest it all, take it to the black market, and exchange it for Spirit Stones. Every little bit counts!"
"In a little while, when the Luo Family attacks, even the black market route will be cut off!"
The steward’s face was grim as he gritted his teeth and urged them on.
It wasn’t as if he wanted this either.
At that moment, a similar scene was unfolding in every spirit field on Fuling Island.
The Cyan Profound Sect’s sanctions had already taken effect.
The Shu Family was desperately squeezing their resources, forcing them into cash at a discounted price!
This spirit island had been ravaged by war.
The vitality it had barely managed to recover during this period of recuperation was once again crushed.
Within Fuling Island.
In the area with the richest Spiritual Qi, there was a small town.
The town was simply decorated, and most of its buildings looked new, clearly having been built recently.
In the main hall of a large, stone-walled residence in the center of town.
A middle-aged man with graying temples and streaks of white in his hair sat in the master’s seat.
"Cough, cough..." He coughed a few times into his sleeve.
"Patriarch, your injuries?!" a young man below asked, a nervous expression on his face.
"Take a Clear Grain Elixir, Patriarch..."
But the Shu Family Patriarch waved his hand.
"It’s nothing. Just an old injury from when we seized the island. It’s uncomfortable, but it doesn’t affect my combat strength."
"With the current blockade, every Clear Grain Elixir is precious. We can’t waste them."
"Besides, to prepare for war, the entire family’s stipends have been suspended for a year. As the Patriarch, I must lead by example and conserve resources..."
The Shu Family Patriarch shook his head and then asked.
"Liande, how has the Spirit Stone fundraising been going?"
Hearing this, Shu Liande hurried to report, a hint of relief in his voice.
"It’s acceptable. For Shaojing’s sake, the black market isn’t pushing the price down too hard—only a fifty percent discount."
Shu Shaojing, the Earth Spiritual Root genius from the Shu Family who had joined the Cyan Profound Sect.
After reaching Foundation Establishment, his reputation soared, and the Shu Family could rely on his influence.
"Once this shipment goes out, the Spirit Stones we have in reserve should be enough to sustain us through half a year of war."
Hearing this, the Patriarch took a sip of tea, his expression softening slightly.
"Good. This shipment is crucial. You will personally handle this trip to the black market."
the Patriarch said in a heavy voice, then continued.
"The war is approaching, and most of the family’s Late-stage Qi Refining experts can’t be spared. How about this: take a[Voodoo Corpse]with you."
"A Voodoo Corpse? The natives were actually willing to lend us one?" Shu Liande was pleasantly surprised, clearly understanding what it was.
The so-called[Voodoo Corpse]was a Corpse Refinement technique originating from the native islanders.
It was a terrifying monster created by taking the organs and limbs from several powerful corpses, stitching them together, and then awakening the amalgamation through a special refinement process!
For the native tribes, the[Voodoo Corpse]was a trump card, their ultimate hidden power.
"It’s a matter of shared fate. While we certainly gained many benefits from our trades, they didn’t lose out either."
"If the Shu Family falls, it would be a bad thing for them as well," the Patriarch analyzed calmly.
However, a bitter smile appeared on his face as he added helplessly.
"Right now, the only ones willing to lend us a hand are these natives..."
"Patriarch..." Shu Liande fell silent.
The Shu Family’s current situation, like a lone boat in a stormy sea, weighed heavily on his heart.
"Huuuh... Liande, don’t overthink it." The Patriarch walked over and patted his shoulder.
"Fuling Island is our family’s future. We’ve even moved the ancestral tablets here. We absolutely cannot abandon it. Our only option is to fight to the death!"
"With Shaojing working on our behalf within the sect, things will take a turn for the better!"
"If we hold firm, we will find a way!"
