Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 122 - 59: Chu Xinyue Takes Command of Second Squad, Promoted to Captain

Chapter 122: Chapter 59: Chu Xinyue Takes Command of Second Squad, Promoted to Captain

After chatting with them for a while, Su Yu left the base and flew towards the Yuanjiang River.

He planned to work hard on leveling up over the next month, striving to reach a higher level.

Diving straight into the river, he released Ao Run, and the man and the dragon submerged to the bottom.

They continued diving until they reached the monster-infested waters around the level seventy or eighty area, then stopped and summoned two flying swords to draw the nearby monsters.

Using the same tactics as before, he would lure the monsters while Ao Run handled the AOE mass killing. Man and dragon cooperated seamlessly, and the slaughter experience points skyrocketed.

They grinded for an entire morning. During a midday break, Su Yu suddenly sensed something and opened his panel, seeing a new notification:

"Notification: Sea Suppressing Pearl Origin feedback, your innate bone attribute +1."

"Notification: Your innate bone attribute has reached 30 points, all cultivation point requirements -10%."

"This is nice."

This meant that it originally required one million slaughter experience points to advance a level, but now only needed nine hundred thousand.

This bonus would be more beneficial later, when advancing a level could require tens or even hundreds of millions of experience points. The saved experience would be considerable.

For instance, the Nine Heavens Bone Forging Skill required ten billion experience points to condense, but now only nine billion were needed, instantly saving one billion.

"The effect of raising innate bone attributes to 30 points is so apparent. What about 40 points, or 50 points?"

"What effects would raising other innate attributes to 30 points have?"

Su Yu was quite expectant.

......

"Brother Su Yu, do you have time lately?"

A sudden message disrupted Su Yu’s routine. He casually slew the monster in front of him with a few sword strikes and opened communications to respond:

"I’m leveling up. Is there something, Mr. Wei?"

"An estate. Are you interested in exploring it?"

Su Yu raised an eyebrow and asked:

"What’s the scale, and where is it?"

"It’s in the mountain range northeast of the guild, about forty to fifty thousand kilometers away."

"Tell me more."

"Half a month ago, while grinding, I stumbled upon a treasure map. With nothing else to do, I dug for treasure and found a token in a chest, which is a key to an estate left by an ancient Loose Immortal named Master Lan Chao."

"I checked some records. In his lifetime, the Loose Immortal was extremely powerful, at least level one hundred and eighty or higher. The estate may have been where he ascended, and it contains his advanced Heart Skill and his personal magical treasures. The Qi Refining Heart Skill is at least at a sophisticated level, and among the personal magical treasures, there must be Tier Eight Treasures."

"However, the estate is currently occupied by a demon camp. We must eradicate the camp to enter the estate."

Su Yu stroked his chin as he contemplated and asked:

"Since the estate is occupied by a demon camp, has it not been looted by the demons?"

Wei Xia replied:

"I’m not sure either, but we have to take a look."

"Hmm, let’s wait a few days. I have something the day after tomorrow."

"No problem. I’ll gather a few more people to join later."

"I’ll contact you then."

"Alright."

Closing communication, Su Yu rubbed his temples, not particularly optimistic about this estate of Wei Xia’s.

With a demon camp entrenched over the estate, chances are the demons have already discovered it and looted it.

But as Wei Xia said, we must check it out before concluding. What if it hasn’t been looted, or if it has, but the demons don’t know how to use the treasures, and they’re still there? We have to see for ourselves before giving up.

Putting this matter aside, he continued his intense training.

Ao Run started luring monsters on his own while Su Yu stood by, practicing his swordsmanship skills with a few Fish Spirits.

Previously, after honing his skill for so long at the Sword Testing Platform in Chixiao City, he finally got into the basics of Condensing Sword into Silk, and his proficiency increased rapidly, with his progress rate reaching 72%. He planned to push a little further to see if he could level up once more before the major exam.

Two days went by quickly, and when the time was up, Su Yu stopped and burst out of the water, heading towards Chensha Town.

With his current speed, what used to take over a day, now took less than a day.

Today, Chensha Town was brightly lit with decorations and lanterns hanging everywhere.

The crowd in town was much larger than seen last time, and patrols from the second division were present around the town and its surroundings.

Su Yu watched for a while and contacted Chu Xiaoyu:

"Xiaoyu, I’m here."

"Come to the base. You know the building where we used to meet, go directly to the second floor."

"Got it."

He took out his guild ID and hung it up, passing through unimpeded to the base. As soon as he stepped onto the second floor, he saw Chu Xiaoyu coming towards him, grabbing his hand and leading him inside:

"Come with me, we’ve been waiting for you."

Pulling him through the hall, she pushed open a mahogany door and entered the inner chamber.

At a glance, he saw Chu Xinyue sitting at the head. Within a month, she had completely mastered the surge of power after her tribulation, and there was no longer any strange aura about her.

Below her, to the left and right, sat two rows of a dozen people. He recognized some, while others were strangers.

The original captain of the fifth squad, Hu Zhilin, the former vice-captain of the second squad, Li Xuan, Mu Chen, Xiao Yunya, Gu Yao, and several supporters he had seen before but didn’t know the names of. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Interestingly, all the seats on the left were occupied by senior members of the second division, all older in age, with Hu Zhilin sitting in the first seat on the left.

On the right were all younger members, including Mu Chen, Xiao Yunya, and Gu Yao, with the first seat on the right still vacant.

As Su Yu walked in, instantly, dozens of eyes turned towards him.

Curiosity, surprise, envy, jealousy, and goodwill—all sorts of gazes were cast.

Ignoring these gazes, Su Yu strode forward, stood before Chu Xinyue, and cupped his fists in a salute:

"Guild leader, I am here."

Chu Xinyue’s piercing gaze swept over him, then she nodded approvingly:

"Not bad!"

With a gesture towards the first seat on the right, she said:

"You sit here."

Su Yu nodded, strode to the first seat on the right, cupped his fists in greeting to those opposite and below, lightly flicked his robe, and sat gracefully.
