After Su Yi followed shopkeeper Wei to a private room, shopkeeper Wei left him alone.
He sat cross-legged on the bed and entered the immortal destiny seal with his mind, only to see the activity interface flashing slightly.
The last time he fished for the tenth time, he fished out the Dao-treasure, Nine Revolutions Blood Sun Pagoda. Who knew what this fishing trip would bring him?
Looking at the activity information, he had advanced to the foundation establishment stage, and the number of times he could fish increased to 20 times. The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile as he clicked on the activity.
[Hint: Do you wish to enter the activity Dao treasure fishing?]
[Yes.]
In a daze, a lake projection appeared in front of him. Just like before, he could vaguely see the forms of the countless rare treasures floating in the lake.
.
[Hint: Do you want to buy a treasure fishing rod?]
[Yes.]
[Hint: Spent 200,000 yuan. Successfully purchased treasure fishing rod x 20.]
Almost without any delay, 20 treasure fishing rods appeared in his immortal fate seal.
Looking at the lake full of Dao charm, Su Yi still chose to fish ten times.
[Fishing failed.]
[Fishing successful, obtained: Dao gem x10.]
[Fishing failed.]
[Fishing failed.]
[Fishing successful, obtained: Dao gem x5.]
…
After the first ten rounds, he obtained 35 Dao gems, but he did not obtain anything else. This made him purse his lips. At the same time, he thought to himself, could it be that my luck today is not good?
It was useless to sigh. He proceeded to fish for another ten rounds.
[Fishing failed.]
[Fishing failed.]
[Fishing success: Obtained Dao Treasure — Evil-slaying Sword Record.]
[Fishing failed.]
…
Seeing the notification that his 13th attempt had yielded treasure, Su Yi was finally able to relax.
Very soon, an item that looked like a scroll appeared in front of him.
The sword record was like a scroll. Its entire body had ancient and simple patterns, and there were even sword patterns engraved on it.
When he opened it, he saw that there was a lifelike picture of a sword inside the sword record.
At the same time, an ancient sword aura was emitted from the sword pattern.
He had also seen the attributes of the Evil-slaying Sword Record.
[Dao treasure: Evil-slaying Sword Record (passive).]
[Dao aura: Grade 0.]
[Description: The map of the Evil-slaying Sword. It contains a trace of the Dao aura of the Evil-slaying Sword. You can use it to learn the evil-slaying sword intent.]
[Base effect: Strength + 10%.]
[Dao aura upgrade: Spend (95/100) Dao gems to upgrade. Upper limit: Grade 3.]
Look at the Evil-slaying Sword Record attributes, Su Yi had a shock.
Although this treasure is not as powerful as the Nine Revolutions Blood Sun Pagoda, it also gives him a full 10% power boost, which is a terrifying boost. Not to mention that he could also learn another sword intent.
After looking at its attributes, the Evil-slaying Sword Record turned into a stream of light and entered the space between his eyebrows, fusing with his body.
In an instant, a shocking aura burst out from his body.
He felt that his strength had increased by a large margin, and his attack power had also increased by a level.
He exhaled and stood up to move his body.
His entire body emitted creaking sounds. This was the result of the increase in strength.
After getting used to it, there was also the sound of knocking on the door from outside.
Dong dong dong-
“Fellow Daoist Su…”
It was Nie Ling. She called out, afraid that she would disturb Su Yi’s cultivation, so she stopped.
“Mm, come in.”
Nie Ling, who was outside the room, heard this and pushed open the door. When she saw that he was already sitting beside the table, she smiled and said.
“How was your cultivation? I didn’t disturb you, did I?”
“No, I just finished my cultivation.”
“That’s good. I was afraid that I would accidentally disturb you at a critical moment.”
…
“It’s nothing. Did you get any news?”
He looked at Nie Ling and asked. It had only been two hours since he started fishing.
Nie Ling must have gotten some news since she came back so quickly.
As expected, Nie Ling replied, “yes, the recruitment competition of Tiandao sect will be held in three months.”
“Three months? That’s good too.”
He blinked and thought for a moment. There was indeed still some time. It would be better to raise his cultivation base during these three months.
“By the way, fellow Daoist Nie, can you help me collect some foundation establishment pill formulas?”
If he wanted to increase his strength, pills were imperative to do so. With the Starry Sea Bottle, he could ignore pill poison.
Moreover, this was a digitized world, so he was not afraid that taking pills would cause his foundation to falter.
After he said this, a mysterious smile appeared on Nie Ling’s face.
“Hehe, I knew you would be looking for the pill formulas. I’ve already prepared them for you.”
She placed the two pill formulas on the table. Even though the foundation establishment pill formula was harder to obtain than the qi condensation pill formula, the Nie family had it.
Now that Su Yi was an ally of the Nie family, Nie Ling could naturally get it for him. He took a look at the two pill formulas.
[Pill formula: Azure origin pill.]
[Effect: Consume one pill to increase your foundation establishment cultivation.]
[Required ingredients: Foundation establishment stage demon core, ancient demon powder, absolute dust flower.]
—
[Pill formula: Foundation establishment pill.]
[Effect: Consuming one pill to increase the success rate of breaking through the foundation establishment stage.]
[Required ingredients: Foundation establishment stage demon core, black vine, Brahma flower, thunder bamboo.]
…
The ingredients of the two pill formulas were different. The ancient demon powder of the azure origin pill could be obtained from the Demon Subduing Mountain, and so was the absolute dust flower.
The ingredients of the foundation establishment pill were harder to obtain. The black vine was only found on the Giant Lizard Island, the Brahma flower grew on the Dark Abyss Cliff. As for the thunder bamboo, it was produced on Demon Subduing Mountain.
Seeing Su Yi looking at the pill formula, Nie Ling said, “we have the ingredients for the two pill formulas except for the ancient demon powder for the azure essence pill. It can only be found by slaying ancient demon beasts of the Demon Subduing Mountain. It can be considered a relatively rare material.”
“If we go hunting for it, it will probably take a few days before we can collect a certain amount.”
“It’s fine. It just so happens that I’m planning to go to the Demon Subduing Mountain to cultivate for a while. I’ll also get some ancient demon powder along the way.”
He said to Nie Ling indifferently. The increase in his strength made his hands itchy. It was just the right time to satisfy those demon beasts.
“Then you should be careful. I haven’t reached the foundation establishment stage yet. Moreover, I just came to the central plains and have a lot of things to deal with, so…”
Nie Ling’s expression was a bit disappointed. Not only was her strength not enough, but she also had a lot of things to deal with. This made her secretly clench her teeth. She wanted to find a time to transcend the lightning tribulation and reach the foundation establishment stage.
“You go ahead. You should know my strength. Nothing will happen in the Demon Subduing Mountain.”
“Okay”
…
After saying goodbye to Nie Ling, he walked out of the Nie family’s trading company and followed the map to a teleportation array.
Through the teleportation array, he arrived at the foot of the Demon Subduing Mountain.
At first glance, the Demon Subduing Mountain made him feel insignificant. Its sheer size caused a man to remember just how small he was.
There was a patch of forest in the middle of the mountain, blocking out much of the scenery.
The tallest mountain peak could no longer be seen, its peak towering into the clouds.
Under the lingering clouds and mist, one could still see a few demon beasts strolling about.
