Chapter 66
From Today On, I'll Be an Inner Disciple
Sitting in the room, Su Yi looked at the three spirit stones and the "Luoxia Ningyuan Jue" (Luoxia Condensing Yuan Technique) from the Luoxia Immortal Sect, preparing to organize her cultivation path after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.
Although I have decided to become a cultivator, I absolutely cannot neglect my cultivation.
Don't ask, the only reason is so that I won't be scattered like sand ten years from now!
"Ding! Detected Foundation Establishment stage cultivation technique 'Sunset Glow Condensing Essence Technique'. Replace? This replacement will cost 5000 experience points!"
The system notification made Su Yi forget that he had fallen back below the poverty line, his experience points had been reset to zero, and he only had a pitiful 1100 experience points left.
Helplessly looking at the three mid-grade spirit stones in front of him, Gu Wanquan took two and kept the remaining three for himself.
Su Yi simply reached out and instantly refined it!
"Ding! Gained 2000 experience points!"
"Ding! Gained 2000 experience points!"
"Ding! Gained 2000 experience points!"
Three notification sounds rang out, and the three mid-grade spirit stones were directly converted into 6000 experience points.
Looking at the pitiful 6000 experience points that had appeared on his attribute panel, Su Yi felt that this game was unfair!
This was also one of the reasons why the players collectively protested before they traveled through time.
I get 1,000 experience points for absorbing a low-grade spirit stone during Qi Refining, but when I reach Foundation Establishment and absorb a mid-grade spirit stone, I only get 2000?
On what grounds?
Faced with a massive number of player complaints, the official explanation was only: "The experience points gained during the Foundation Establishment stage are True Essence, which consumes more energy than True Qi. Everything is based on the game's settings!"
Upon closer examination, this explanation seems quite reasonable.
After spending 5000 experience points to replace the cultivation technique, Su Yi's attribute panel changed instantly:
Name: Su Yi
Level: 10 (2100/150000)
"Root Bone: 3 (Water)"
"Spiritual Power: 5"
Physique: 5
"Comprehension: 7"
"Spiritual Essence: 6"
"Talent: Naturally Alluring (Red)"
"Cultivation Technique: Sunset Glow Condensing Essence Technique (Blue)"
Skills: Water Arrow, Water Whip, Water Wall, Water Clone, Copy, Finger Strike.
"Magic Item: None"
Upon opening the introduction to "The Sunset Glow Condensing Yuan Technique," Su Yi rolled her eyes.
"Sunset Glow Condensing Essence Technique (Beginner Level 0/100000)"
Effect 1: Active effect, meditation restores true energy, and mana recovery speed increases by 20%.
Effect 2: Passive effect, increases experience points by 5000 per day!
The effect is exactly the same as the Sunset Qi Refining Technique, the only difference being that the passive effect increases experience points tenfold!
However, based on the experience points required for upgrading during the Foundation Establishment stage, it would take a full 30 days to upgrade using only passive effects!
Compared to the Qi Refining stage where you can level up in just a few days, this is ridiculously slow.
Moreover, it requires 100,000 experience points to even begin, so compared to that, upgrading this technique is completely not cost-effective!
Su Yi sat cross-legged and tried cultivating for a while.
"Experience +10"
"Experience +20"
...
After cultivating for ten minutes, Su Yi opened his eyes. Calculating the time, he estimated that he could accumulate about three to four thousand experience points in one night.
With the 5000 experience points passively granted, it takes about fifteen days to level up!
It's still too slow!
As a game, in order to maintain the fun of the game and allow players to deeply participate in the game, "Immortal Journey" will not allow players to easily gain a lot of experience points by simply leaving the game running.
So it's better to do daily tasks; you can level up three levels instantly just by completing them!
Moreover, this is only dominating the outer perimeter; there is also dominating the middle level of the inner sect and the innermost level of the inner sect.
Who knows, it might even directly guarantee my advancement to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment!
Even a small mosquito is still meat, so Su Yi immediately sat down to meditate and cultivate.
Nothing happened that night, and Su Yi, having finished her cultivation, was taking a nice nap.
Outside, the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground could be heard continuously!
Startled awake, Su Yi sat bolt upright, and in her shock and anger, snapped, "Are you out of your mind? Why are you dancing like a madman at the door so early in the morning instead of sleeping?"
"Brother Su, wake up! Time for your morning class!"
Early morning classes? Have I been reborn back to my high school days?
Looking at the sky outside, which was just beginning to brighten, Su Yi, still half asleep, vaguely thought to herself.
Suddenly jolted awake, Su Yi realized that she hadn't been reborn, but had transmigrated.
Now, he has joined an inner sect of a celestial sect that is even more miserable than high school, and is even more miserable as a person who works from six in the morning to six in the evening!
Thinking of this, Su Yi, who was already grumpy when she woke up, became even more furious.
I lazily got dressed and opened the door to find my underlings from yesterday already lined up and waiting for me.
As soon as Su Yi stepped out, the underlings bowed their heads and greeted him in unison, "Good morning, Senior Brother!"
He doesn't look like a cultivator; he seems more like a member of the underworld.
At Su Yi's door, Gu Wanquan and Li Yunxiao stood on the left and right respectively.
Only then did Su Yi remember that today he was going to be the "young upstart" of the cultivation world, and he waved his hand with a sour face.
He grabbed a chair from the room and, together with Gu Wanquan, followed Li Yunxiao and the others towards the place where those below the third level of Foundation Establishment had their morning classes.
Sitting in a chair, enjoying the cool morning breeze, Su Yi's spirits lifted slightly. She glanced at Gu Wanquan, who was flying on his sword with a gentle smile. Why did she feel like she knew less and less about this game after transmigrating?
As he pondered, he flew over several mountain peaks, and a huge Taoist temple appeared before Su Yi.
The ancient Taoist temple with its green tiles and white walls echoed with the sounds of chanting.
Every now and then, cultivators would fly past on their swords, hurrying into the Taoist temple, landing their swords, pushing open the door, and entering the temple.
Su Yi raised her hand, signaling everyone to stop.
"Senior Brother Su, what's wrong?" Li Yunxiao asked, somewhat puzzled.
Su Yi rolled her eyes and said irritably, "The main characters are always the last to appear; that's how they're made more intimidating!"
"As expected of Senior Brother Su! I've learned a lot!" Li Yunxiao exclaimed repeatedly.
Learn from me, and you'll learn some cool and pretentious techniques!
The group landed on several large trees, squatting undignifiedly on the branches, watching the cultivators who kept coming over. Su Yi, on the other hand, slumped on a tree and dozed off to catch up on sleep.
The passing cultivators all looked at Su Yi and her group with prejudiced eyes, like model students looking at a blond-haired guy squatting and smoking at the school gate.
When the dozen or so henchmen saw the other party's lewd gaze, they immediately glared back fiercely.
It actually tastes even better this way!
For someone who just coasts along, being late is a must, and it's also a basic quality of a coaster!
Once no more cultivators arrived, Su Yi wiped the drool from his mouth, straightened his clothes, and waved his hand triumphantly at the crowd: "Let's go! From today onwards, we're all inner disciples!"
Su Yi took the lead, Li Yunxiao followed closely behind, and a dozen or so underlings followed behind. Only Gu Wanquan felt it was really embarrassing, so he just lagged behind at the very back.
Su Yi, who was about to push open the door and go in, stopped.
Who the hell would push open the door and walk in if they were a nobody?
I'll just go for it!
"Duang!"
Su Yi kicked the door open with one foot, and the door swung open with a loud crash.
The noisy chanting suddenly stopped!
The inner disciples in the Taoist temple only saw the door being violently kicked open, but due to the impact, the door bounced back against the wall behind it and closed again.
Immediately afterwards, a handsome young man with a dark expression pushed open the door and walked in.
A young man dressed in white and black pants arrogantly led a dozen or so cultivators to the Taoist temple's lecture platform.
The boy stomped one foot on the wooden tea table of the lectern, his arrogant voice instantly echoing throughout the entire Taoist temple:
"From now on, I'm protecting this Taoist temple. You better keep your eyes peeled!"
Although I have decided to become a cultivator, I absolutely cannot neglect my cultivation.
Don't ask, the only reason is so that I won't be scattered like sand ten years from now!
"Ding! Detected Foundation Establishment stage cultivation technique 'Sunset Glow Condensing Essence Technique'. Replace? This replacement will cost 5000 experience points!"
