Su Yu spent 5.62 million cultivation points and 60 Taoist points to raise the Purple Essence Qi Refining Skill to the thirtieth level, boosting it by ten levels at once, leaving 1.3 million cultivation points and 89 Taoist points remaining.
Purple Essence Qi Refining Skill Level 30: Qi and Blood +1200, Mana +2400, Magic Power +1200, Mana Recovery +6 points/second.
"Out of cultivation points again."
However, when he carefully sensed the abundant mana within his body, he smiled again.
With the Golden Finger boost, his mana was equivalent to the mana of a sixtieth-level intermediate Qi Refining Skill. For other newcomers of the same level, thirty levels would only amount to 1200 mana.
If it were a sixtieth-level intermediate Qi Heart Skill, this would have already caught up with some veterans within five years.
Of course, this was limited to ordinary players and couldn't compare to those who developed quickly.
"This guild activity is a good opportunity to show what I can do."
Su Yu made up his mind and, sitting on a paper crane, swayed towards the direction of Base No. 3.
Thanks to the guild's clearing efforts, he leisurely flew at an altitude of a hundred meters for several hours without encountering any monster attacks, safely reaching the guild's Base No. 3.
The base was built on an island, with one side being a cliff and a wide waterbody below. The guild established a large base on the island, with Divine Thunder Towers standing along the shore.
There was a large port at the coast, with over a hundred battleships of various sizes moored.
Among them were eight Tier Six Giant Wood Divine Ships, twenty-two Tier Five Furious Whale Ships and Tier Five Tower Ships, while the rest were nearly a hundred Tier Four Wave-piercing Giant Ships.
Su Yu flew to the island base and first sold the materials and magical treasures he obtained from fighting monsters during these days, including the Profound Iron Bell, Three Yang Fan, Bing Fire Talisman, and Cyan Fish Sword, earning a total of 41 taels of silver and 268 wen.
As his strength improved, these magical treasures and flying sword were no longer suitable for him, so they needed to be replaced.
Fortunately, flying swords and magical treasures held their value well. Using them and then selling them didn't cause much loss.
After the base was established, many merchants from Thousand Feather City opened temporary branches here. Su Yu took a stroll and quickly picked out a good magical treasure.
Tier Four Premium Magical Treasure: Seal of Mountains and Rivers, priced at 3 gold.
Seal of Mountains and Rivers (Tier Four Magical Treasure): Premium quality, crafted from Red Copper Crystal mixed with Profound Iron Essence. It can be large or small.
Attributes: Activating the treasure can strike enemies from a maximum height of 1000 meters, causing 1500 + 100% height power damage, with a 30% magic damage bonus, a range of 1500 meters, mana consumption of 300 points, and a 20-second cooldown.
Skills: Mountain and River Seal, can continuously suppress targets with less power than the Seal of Mountains and Rivers for 1-15 seconds, inflicting 30% magic damage per second. The suppressed target is unable to move, consuming 100 mana per second.
Attributes: Activating the treasure takes 2-5 seconds, retracting the treasure also takes 2-5 seconds.
Equipment Requirement: Qi Heart Skill above level thirty.
Swordsmanship has already been trained, and ordinary magical treasures are no longer useful. Although the Seal of Mountains and Rivers is cumbersome, its destructive power is astonishing and will have a miraculous effect against certain monsters.
Moreover, he should have a defense treasure, but good defense treasures are expensive. He now only has 2 gold and 62 taels of silver left. Buying it would leave him without money, so he had to make do with the protective aura derived from the Qi Refining Skill for now.
With preparations complete, he just waits for the action to begin.
The wait wasn't long, as the guild channel pinned a message in the afternoon:
"The fleet will depart in three hours. Members participating in the action, please be in position in advance!"
Clicking on the information, it contained specific tactics and defense area divisions. The guild divided multiple war zones, and guild members can freely decide on the war zone. Su Yu...
Before he could choose, he received a message from the newcomer supervisor Fu Ping:
"Meet at Pier No. 2 at the port."
He quickly flew over and found that many newcomers had already gathered at Pier No. 2.
As soon as he arrived, he saw someone waving at him — it was Zhuang Zhuo, and beside him were a few people scrutinizing him.
The two met, and Zhuang Zhuo introduced him:
"This is Shi Ning, Gu Zhiqiu, and Meng Chen, all from the same batch of newcomers."
"Su Yu!"
He cupped his fists in salute, and the others returned the gesture.
Zhuang Zhuo continued:
"We are all newcomers from the same batch following the Gu route, planning to develop here after the battle and join forces to build a Gu Field. Are you interested in joining us?"
Su Yu quickly thought and nodded slightly:
"Sure."
There's strength in numbers, and the sooner the Gu Pit is built, the sooner it will generate income.
Zhuang Zhuo said excitedly:
"Great, the five of us will join forces, each taking a 20% stake. We can discuss the specific Gu refinement matters after the battle."
"Alright."
Then, the five gathered for a chat and introduced themselves to each other.
Just then, the numbers were almost complete, and several newcomer supervisors flew over. One of them coughed lightly, his voice resonating as if beside their ears, prompting everyone to look up. In the center was the guild's head instructor for newcomers, Lu Yongyuan, who said solemnly:
"The final battle of this guild activity is about to begin. In the confusion of the battle, it's hard to take care of everything, so you are arranged to stay on the warships. You are not required to achieve exploits, just don't run around or affect others."
He glanced back at the supervisors beside him and said:
"Listen to the arrangement for stationed warships by the supervisors later. Do not run around at will."
After saying this, he gave some instructions in a low voice to several supervisors before leaving swiftly.
Despite being the head instructor for newcomers, he is also a high-ranking member of the guild, responsible for more than just this group of newcomers.
The remaining newcomer supervisors discussed in low voices for a while, then Fu Ping stepped forward and loudly said:
"Now, all those with Basic Qi Refining Skill or Basic Sword Formulas raised to level forty or above, or those learning an intricate level or higher Qi Heart Skill, gather to my right hand side."
