Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 194 - 105: Blind Date and Secrets of the Sword Palace

Chapter 194: Chapter 105: Blind Date and Secrets of the Sword Palace

This really took Su Yu by surprise; he never thought that one day someone would arrange a matchmaking session for him. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

It was a kind gesture from his sister-in-law, and there was no way to refuse.

Dressing up wasn’t necessary. Even though there are plenty of fashionable outfits with no attributes in this world, they couldn’t compare to Top Grade Magical Robes.

After a quick wash to refresh himself, he soared into the sky and flew towards the coordinates given by his second brother.

Though he couldn’t refuse, Su Yu really hadn’t thought about finding a girlfriend right now, it was too troublesome.

His main focus is on cultivation now. Needless to say, he needs to pass the Celestial Tribulation and ascend to become a Loose Immortal. Only then would he consider finding a woman.

After all, the gap between a Loose Immortal and an Earth Immortal is huge. Reaching level 200 and passing the Earth Immortal Tribulation in a hundred years is considered very fast. It’s normal to spend two or three hundred years accumulating. Being single for so long isn’t practical, so finding a girlfriend or even marrying is only normal.

But for those below Loose Immortal, forget it.

Of course, directly refusing wouldn’t work, nor could he intentionally mess things up to make the girl withdraw, as his sister-in-law’s intentions are good.

He planned to meet as usual and then directly say he wasn’t interested.

A few minutes later, Su Yu took to the sky and left Jinjiao Island, flying toward the given coordinates.

Three hours later, he appeared above the sea area indicated by the coordinates and saw a massive wooden Divine Ship floating above the vast sea. The surrounding sea looked like boiling oil, densely packed with magical creatures attracted by Demon-Attracting Incense gathering around the battleship.

The Divine Thunder Tower bombarded continuously, while many players either rode the Flying Ship or hovered in the sky, continuously activating magical treasures and striking the sea.

"Second brother, I’m here."

A beam of escape light lit up from the Flying Ship, appearing several kilometers away in front of Su Yu in the next second, revealing his second brother’s figure.

But he keenly noticed that this wasn’t his second brother’s true form, but rather an illusion projected by the Thousand-Mile Projection, derived from the Qi Refining Heart Skill enhanced to an extremely high level.

Su Huan waved at him, saying:

"Follow me."

"You’re in luck. Most of the unmarried girls without boyfriends in the group are here. Take a good look, and if you find someone you like, let me know, and I’ll arrange for you to be in a team together."

Su Yu hurriedly waved his hand, saying:

"Second brother, it’s not necessary. I’m busy with cultivation now and don’t have time for romance."

"Just because you don’t have time now doesn’t mean you won’t have time in the future. Get to know them first, chat a bit, and maybe you’ll find someone you click with."

"If you think their skills are lacking, don’t worry. Our group has several girls with outstanding talent and strength, enough to keep up with your pace. They say that a balanced team of men and women makes work less tiring, and training outside together becomes easier."

Su Yu....could only remain speechless.

"Let’s stick to the original plan."

Su Yu followed his second brother’s projection onto the giant wooden Divine Ship, led him to the bow deck, and immediately saw his sister-in-law, who was discussing something with the second brother and several others who seemed to be team leaders.

Not far from them was a crowd of girls chattering and playing around.

Seeing the second brother bring in a man, all the girls stopped talking and looked over, some curiously sizing him up, while others blushed and hid shyly behind their friends, peeking at him.

He glanced around quickly, and his first impression was quite high; a few inside were exceptionally beautiful, with outstanding temperament.

He just took a quick glance and then drew back his gaze, stepping forward to greet:

"Second brother, sister-in-law."

The team leaders nearby showed expressions of surprise, then looked at Su Yu with friendly smiles.

Su Yu was relieved that his second sister-in-law didn’t drag him directly into matchmaking. Instead, after introducing him to the team leaders, she let him move around freely.

"There’s no rush. Perform well during these few days of group activities to showcase your abilities. That way, your sister-in-law can have more confidence when introducing you to the girls."

I’m not in a hurry at all....

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief, making his way to the edge of the giant wooden Divine Ship. Below them were the dense magical creatures attracted by the Demon-Attracting Incense. He raised his hand, summoning a ball of brilliant white lightning and throwing it down, causing waves of experience points to flood the screen instantly.

He then summoned the newly acquired Wind and Water Vajra Wheel, throwing it out. The golden wheel rapidly expanded to a hundred-meter diameter and slashed into the sea, exploding with damage numbers over 20,000 each, slicing a sea serpent and several deep-sea fish in two.

"Spin!"

With a thought, the Wind-Fire Vajra Wheel spun rapidly among the monsters. The sharp-edged wind and fire force exploded outwards to a hundred meters, instantly causing a circle of dense damage numbers to soar.

The Wind and Water Vajra Wheel, while spinning, can cause 30% cutting damage per rotation, with a mana cost of 500 points per second.

Su Yu’s magic damage is now 6000, meaning 30% is 1800.

However, to note, 1800 damage is dealt per rotation, not per second.

The Wheel of Wind and Water rapidly spins, ten rotations per second, dealing up to 18,000 damage per second. Monsters below level 60 get sliced into sashimi in one second.

With a thought, he manipulated the Vajra Wheel to weave in and out of the monster horde, slashing away madly.

"The power is quite impressive!"

Stronger than he imagined, a pure killing instrument.

After swiping for a while, his second brother suddenly approached and asked:

"I suppose your cultivation is from the Cave Profound Spiritual Inspiration Scripture lineage of Xuankong Mountain, right?"

"Yes."

"What are you skilled in? Dao spells, swordsmanship, or Thunder Skill?"

"Swordsmanship!"

"Then why didn’t you show it?"

"I was just testing the new magical treasure’s power."

"Have you finished testing now?"

"Yes, I’m done."

"Then show me your swordsmanship."

Su Yu nodded, opened his mouth, and the Thunderbolt Thousand Jins Dual Swords flew out, carrying with them rumbling thunder sounds as they dove into the sea.

With a thought, he manipulated the dual swords to sweep across the sea like lightning, instantly causing a string of damage numbers to rise.

With a flick of the finger, two beams of sword light wrapped around a high-level monster, weaving back and forth to form a Sword Qi tornado, creating a dense flurry of damage.

Su Huan raised an eyebrow, his expression shifting from normalcy to surprise, until he directed ten strands of Sword Qi into the creature’s wounds, shocking him.

He slapped the ship’s railing and said:

"Impressive!"

"Little brother, your talent in swordsmanship is truly exceptional!"

"You’ve mastered the Sword Qi Thunder Sound to perfection, reached some achievement in Condensing Sword into Silk, and just begun to understand Sword Light Division."

"At your age, achieving such a level in swordsmanship, your future is limitless!"

Su Huan sincerely exclaimed, and said very earnestly:

"Since you have such talent in swordsmanship, you should focus on cultivating in the Sword Dao."

"Are these just two Tier Six Flying Swords? With your talent, there’s no need to craft the Wind and Fire Fan. Have you considered selling the materials to exchange for two Tier Seven Flying Swords?"

Su Yu shook his head and said:

"These two Flying Swords are a precious set, naturally designed for dual-sword fusion. Unless I get a set of Tier Seven Flying Swords that can also fuse, or two Tier Eight Flying Swords, there’s no need to replace them."

"Hmm, indeed."

Su Huan nodded and then shifted the conversation:

"What Sword Formulas are you currently practicing?"

"Taibai Sword Scripture."

"What grade?"

"Advanced Sword Formulas."

"Too low. Haven’t you upgraded to a more exquisite foundational Sword Formulas within the sect?"

"Master could get me exquisite level Sword Formulas, but he thinks if I’m going to upgrade, it should be to something much better, so he gave me a Sword Talisman to check out the Sword Palace."

"You have a Sword Talisman to enter the Sword Palace?"

"Yes."

Su Huan looked surprised:

"Your master is quite impressive, to get such a thing!"

"Is it very rare?"

"Rare? It’s extremely rare."

"Please elaborate."

Su Huan asked:

"Do you know what the Sword Palace is like?"

"Master said it’s a gathering place for Sword Cultivators overseas, with numerous Sword Dao inheritances. As long as you can pass the Sword Palace’s test, you can obtain Sword Dao inheritances, even those of Supreme Tier."

"And what else?"

"That’s all I know."

.....

Su Huan was momentarily at a loss for words.

To call it unreliable, yet he could obtain a treasure like a Sword Talisman.

To call it reliable, the introduction was too casual.

"Your master didn’t fully explain. The Sword Palace is indeed a place where Sword Cultivators gather, with numerous Sword Dao inheritances. Anyone with a Sword Talisman can enter to receive an inheritance. But your master probably doesn’t know how to receive the inheritance, what conditions and limitations are required, and the difficulty of the inheritance."

Su Yu immediately asked:

"Second brother, do you know?"

Su Huan nodded with a smile:

"Generally, Loose Immortals wouldn’t know these secrets, but I do. I have a friend who once entered the Sword Palace and knows the specifics."

"To be precise, this Sword Palace is an ancient inheritance left by a Sword Immortal from the Ancient Era. The Sword Palace itself is a supreme treasure of immortals. The Sword Cultivators gathered within aren’t the true owners of the Sword Palace, just Sword Dao enthusiasts recognized by the Artifact Spirit of the Sword Palace who remain inside."

"Every cultivator has one chance in their lifetime to enter the Sword Palace to undertake the inheritance test. Rewards are granted based on the test results across three levels."

"The highest level is naturally the supreme inheritance of the Sword Palace, belonging to the owner of the Sword Palace. But it’s incredibly difficult; no one has achieved it yet."

"The next level includes several Supreme Tier inheritances that don’t belong to the Sword Palace owner, and several Tier Ten Immortal Swords. Obtaining these would allow one to dominate the world. According to records, some have acquired these before."

"Below that are the ordinary rewards, including exquisite or higher transmission below sect-guarding level, and Tier Eight or Nine Immortal Swords. Obtaining any of these could significantly boost one’s strength, and these appear frequently."

"However, most often, people can’t pass the Sword Palace test and just leave with a Tier Seven Flying Sword, which accounts for ninety-nine percent of the testers."

"Is the success rate that low?"

"Of course."

Su Yu stood silent, considering his swordsmanship talent and realm...

In the Sword Discussion Realm, he’s definitely among the top among peers, having comprehended Sword Light Division within less than two years of practice. Who else could match that strength?

But in terms of Sword Dao talent...

He had no genuine Sword Dao talent; it was purely boosted by some cheat-like help.

The inheritance from an ancient Sword Immortal would surely demand high Sword Dao talent and a pure sword heart, but he wasn’t a true Sword Immortal, his sword heart not pure in the least. The chances of getting a Top Grade inheritance were almost zero.

Yet, his second brother didn’t know that. He was currently speaking excitedly:

"Little brother, your Sword Dao talent is too strong. When my friend was your age, they hadn’t comprehended Sword Light Division. If you enter the Sword Palace, you’ll have no problem passing the ordinary test, even a chance at Top Grade inheritance."

"Supreme Tier Sword Dao inheritance!"
