Chapter 34
Rare and Precious Treasures
"Ding! You have successfully hunted a Foundation Establishment stage monster, gaining 20000 experience points!"
Upon hearing the system notification, Su Yi was overjoyed.
Hunting a Foundation Establishment stage tiger, which is a level above your own, is equivalent to the experience gained from 20 low-grade spirit stones.
I never expected that the system would register a kill even though I only used a few water arrows!
Don't think it's a small amount; this is just the experience of hunting a tiger. The whole tiger's carcass is still lying on the ground!
Looking at the Foundation Establishment stage demon beast in front of him, which was already dead but still surrounded by an aura of pressure.
Although the journey was a bit more rugged and dangerous than that of the Koi Empress, seeing the corpses of the two Foundation Establishment stage demon beasts in front of him was still a great harvest!
A Foundation Establishment stage demon beast can be considered a good cultivation material from head to toe.
Whether it's crafting magical artifacts or refining elixirs, these are treasures that are hard to come by.
Although the demon core inside the demon beast was mixed with blood and qi, Su Yi, who had a system, could refine it instantly, gaining another batch of experience points!
As Su Yi was calculating the potential gains from the two Foundation Establishment stage demonic beasts, Xiao Tian looked at the beasts before him with regret and said, "Senior brother, shall we bury these two demonic beasts?"
"???"
Su Yi looked speechlessly at Xiao Tian, who had an innocent look on his face. Had this kid's brain been squeezed in a door?
Now I know why you're still penniless even in the late game!
Su Yi rolled her eyes, took out a long-handled axe from her storage bag and tossed it to Xiao Tian, saying, "Listen to my command, go and dismember these two beasts!"
Xiao Tian's sense of morality surged again, and he was about to speak, but remembering the regret of missing out on the opportunity yesterday, he obediently shut his mouth.
Following Su Yi's command, Xiao Tian roughly dismembered the two Foundation Establishment stage demonic beasts.
"Python skin, python blood, python teeth, python tendons, python bones, python meat, python pills, and python cores!"
"Tiger skin, tiger meat, tiger blood, tiger bones, tiger pills, tiger teeth..."
Having spent ten years honing his skills in "The Immortal Path," Su Yi was adept at dissecting demonic beasts.
Under Su Yi's command, Xiao Tian painstakingly disassembled the two ferocious beasts.
Looking at the large pile of materials that had been broken down, the two of them couldn't take them all with them.
Su Yi glanced at Xiao Tian, who was standing to the side, constantly swallowing his saliva as he looked at the tiger meat.
Physical cultivators who use true qi to refine their qi and blood naturally need to eat a lot to replenish their body's energy.
For body cultivators, the flesh and blood of demonic beasts are like a highly nourishing elixir!
Su Yi pointed to the python blood and tiger blood and said, "What are you standing there for? Waiting for the wine? Go eat them!"
Xiao Tian, who was swallowing hard, looked up at Su Yi in surprise. Senior Brother Su was indeed a good person!
"I'd go through fire and water for you, Brother Su!"
Xiao Tian glanced gratefully at Su Yi, then let out a strange cry and lunged at the pile of flesh and blood.

Looking at Xiao Tian, who resembled a savage eating raw meat and drinking blood, Su Yi shook her head.
Since you can't take it with you, eat whatever you want.
How much can one person eat? Surely you can't eat both ferocious beasts?
Su Yi took out a handkerchief from her storage bag and picked up the demon cores of the giant python and the fierce tiger with some disdain.
"Ding! You have gained 10000 experience points!"
"Ding! You have gained 10000 experience points!"
Another 20,000 experience points were added to my account, and my previously depleted possessions became abundant again.
Su Yi's eyebrows danced, but she didn't stop. She turned and walked behind the waterfall where the giant python was hiding.
In the outer sect, where most cultivators are at the Qi Refining stage, a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast is equivalent to a wild boss!
In the game, monsters of this difficulty usually require a group of dozens of people to defeat.
There will definitely be more than that loot; at least you can try your luck at the lair!
As a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast with a habitat, it might be hiding some good treasures in its lair!
Of course, Su Yi didn't expect that a poor tiger that was so poor that it had to go down the mountain to eat spirit rice in the spirit plant field could contain anything good!
As Su Yi had expected, the nest that the giant snake had coiled up contained not only several low-grade spirit stones, but also two mid-grade spirit stones the size of fingernails.
Low-grade spirit stones can be directly converted into experience, while mid-grade spirit stones can only be absorbed after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.
The exchange ratio between mid-grade spirit stones and low-grade spirit stones is 1:10.
Normally, only disciples who have entered the inner sect are given monthly allowances.
Once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, the spiritual energy obtained from low-grade spirit stones is no longer suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The sparse and mixed spiritual energy is barely worth absorbing; mid-grade spirit stones are the real currency.
I wonder if this setting will be continued by the system!
Now, with her newfound experience, Su Yi put away the spirit stones and began searching again, meticulously.
When Su Yi circled around to the back of the nest, she was pleasantly surprised to find a spiritual herb emitting a pale blue light carefully enclosed in a corner behind the nest.
On its bright blue, orchid-like leaves and stems, a pale blue fruit hangs from the tip of the branch!
May you prosper and become rich!
It's actually a Mysterious Water Sprout Fruit!
Su Yi stared blankly at the spiritual herb in front of her, and immediately recognized its origin. A surge of emotion welled up inside her!
This thing is already considered a rare and precious treasure!
Natural treasures, as the name suggests, are born and nurtured by heaven and earth, and their growth is random!
No wonder this giant python, which has gained sentience, has been hiding behind the waterfall!
Why go out if you have this thing?
In "Immortal Path", every rare and precious plant is unique.
In other words, only after you eat it will another one grow in another place!
Because of the rarity of rare and precious materials, each one can fetch an astronomical price in the game!
Because rare and precious materials possess an attribute that drives players to extreme madness!
Rare and precious materials can increase a player's attributes!
Players start with only ten points, and gain two points for every ten levels they gain. Even if they reach the maximum level of 99, their total attribute points will only be 30!
Initial attributes play a decisive role for both players and NPCs!
Every bit of improvement to basic attributes can significantly boost a player's strength!
If we look at NPCs from the player's perspective, based on the players' speculations...
Gu Wanquan and these other prodigies are all at maximum level, and some of them can even break through the 10 limit in terms of attributes!
This inevitably leads to a speculation circulating among players: what if the player also maxed out their attributes?
Does that mean players can also become like the main characters such as Gu Wanquan?!
Therefore, driven by their desire for rare and precious materials, countless large guilds have offered hefty sums to purchase them.
But without exception, they all ended up with nothing.
After all, there are only 108 of them in the entire game, which shows how rare they are!
Even Su Yi, who was the Empress's number one lackey before he transmigrated, never obtained a single rare and precious treasure from the Empress!
The game "Immortal Path" has an official catalog of 108 rare and precious materials.
The shape and growth preferences of each plant are known to almost all players of the game.
After all, if you come across one, you'll be financially independent!
Su Yi, who had been drooling over the illustrated guide in her previous life, finally witnessed a rare and precious plant appear before her.
This unexpected windfall left Su Yi completely stunned.
He couldn't even believe that the spiritual herb in front of him was the legendary rare treasure!
After carefully comparing it with the illustration in my mind, I finally confirmed that this spiritual herb was indeed the "Mysterious Water Sprout Fruit" from my memory!
With trembling hands, following the instructions in the illustrated guide, she used a jade hairpin to remove the 107th ranked rare and precious fruit.
Without hesitation, he swallowed it directly, and a chilling, bone-chilling pain instantly swept over his entire body.
Just like when you wear that mythical talent, every time you change your attributes, it's accompanied by immense pain.
"You damn planner, you son of a bitch..."
Su Yi cursed inwardly, then fainted with an overwhelming sense of happiness.
When Su Yi woke up again, she sat up in a daze.
But he saw Xiao Tian squatting to the side, lighting a campfire, roasting meat, and guarding him.
"How long was I unconscious?" Su Yi asked Xiao Tian.
Upon hearing Su Yi's voice, Xiao Tian quickly stood up, walked over to Su Yi, and said with some envy, "About four hours ago, when I found you, Senior Brother, you were shrouded in water vapor. You must have broken through again, right?"
Envied by the future Heavenly Emperor, Su Yi had no time to pay attention to him, but hurriedly brought up her own attribute panel:
Name: Su Yi
Level: 8 (41600/8000)
"Root Bone: 2 (Water)"
"Spiritual Power: 5"
Physique: 4
"Comprehension: 7"
"Spiritual Essence: 6"
"Talent: Naturally Alluring (Red)"
"Cultivation Technique: Introduction to the Sunset Qi Refining Technique (Blue)"
"Magic Item: None"
Wow, that's impressive! Both my spiritual power and comprehension have increased by 1 point!
It truly is a treasure of nature!
Two attribute points were added at once, which is equivalent to leveling up ten times!
Su Yi felt the smooth flow of true energy within her body and casually condensed a water ball.
It seems that this spiritual herb has also improved my control over the water element!
Su Yi quickly opened the skill bar in the attribute panel and froze on the spot.
Other water-based skills remain largely unchanged.
The only exception is the Water Arrow technique, which I stumbled upon by chance and reached mastery level.
Water Arrow Technique Mastery (175000/200000)
What the hell!
Am I supposed to upgrade a basic skill to Master level?
Still 35000 experience points short, looking at the 4 experience points on his attribute panel, Su Yi gritted his teeth and clicked on it.
If I don't upgrade, I'll be wasting this almost maxed-out skill proficiency!
We're already so close to the finish line, what's the difference?
"Ding! Skill upgrade complete!"
"Water Arrow Technique (Grandmaster)"
Effect 1: Instant cast, no cost, damage increases with level!
"Effect Two: Can be changed at will, summoned and dispatched at will!"
Upon seeing the skill description, Su Yi was first taken aback, then overjoyed.
I never expected that NPCs and players would be completely different after upgrading their skills to the Grandmaster level!
Even if a player upgrades a basic skill to the Grandmaster level, at most it will only be instantaneous and its power will increase, but there will be no improvement in any effect.
But when it comes to the NPC, upgrading a Grandmaster blank skill can actually give you two skill effects, which are in no way inferior to a purple skill!
The game planner is a real bastard! He's so biased towards NPCs. Am I playing the game, or is the game playing me?
Su Yi grumbled at the game planner while starting to study her own master-level blank skill!
Effect 1: Instant cast with no cost, freeing up a skill slot so you can turn a skill into a basic attack!
The power increases with level, which means this skill, which turns into a basic attack, can be used until the very end!
If the second effect is desired, Su Yi stretches out her hand, and a water arrow as thick as a finger appears in her hand.
As Su Yi's thoughts stirred, the water arrows moved around her body like water snakes!
"shoot!"
With a casual flick of his finger, Su Yi caused the swimming water arrow to straighten instantly and plunge directly into the wall beside him!
Xiao Tian stared in disbelief at the scene before him, never expecting that Senior Brother Su had actually broken through!
This superb water arrow technique also represents that Senior Brother's control over the water attribute has reached an inhuman level!
I probably couldn't have blocked that water arrow attack just now!
Terrifying...
Nowadays, Senior Brother Su could easily kill him with a single skill.
While Xiao Tian was filled with admiration, he also breathed a sigh of relief:
"Since Senior Brother Su has reaped such a great harvest, he probably won't mind that he ate all the python meat, python blood, tiger meat, and tiger blood, right?"
Upon hearing the system notification, Su Yi was overjoyed.
Hunting a Foundation Establishment stage tiger, which is a level above your own, is equivalent to the experience gained from 20 low-grade spirit stones.

"???"
Su Yi looked speechlessly at Xiao Tian, who had an innocent look on his face. Had this kid's brain been squeezed in a door?
Now I know why you're still penniless even in the late game!
