Jujutsu: Eight Magical Skills At The Beginning, Admission Is A Special Level

Chapter 44: The Matter of the Air Force in Cultivation

After putting down the letter, Lu Bei remained silent for a long time.

To be fair, he did not agree with Mo Buxio's viewpoint. It exaggerated the importance of Monster Cultivators and almost completely disregarded Dao Cultivators, Demon Cultivators, and Buddhist Cultivators.

Lu Bei's cultivation level and perspective were not as high as Mo Buxio's, so he couldn't argue against him directly. His approach was somewhat cunning.

Balance is necessary in a game.

If Monster Cultivators truly have the potential that Mo Buxio claims, surpassing the other three, they would definitely be weakened.

The more Lu Bei thought about it, the more it made sense. Each generation of the game brings about new gods, and Monster Cultivators currently have immense potential. However, once the closed beta and open beta end, and the programmers modify the destiny when the server opens, Monster Cultivators will likely be weakened.

After burning the letter containing important information, Lu Bei turned his attention to the other items in his Universe Bag: a bottle of pills, two secret manuals of cultivation techniques, and three sealed bronze boxes.

The pills were stored in porcelain bottles without any labels. Lu Bei didn't know their purpose, so he didn't open them hastily.

The two cultivation manuals were titled "Great Wasteland's Secret Record of Monster Evolution" and "General Outline of the Formation Dao." Lu Bei tried to read them, but he couldn't cultivate the former due to insufficient level, and the latter required 300 Skill Points to learn.

"It's just a simple chapter, like a table of contents, yet it costs me 300 Skill Points. That's too expensive..." Lu Bei exclaimed, and without hesitation, he spent 300 Skill Points.

General Outline of the Formation Dao Lv1 (0/3000)

He didn't rush to gain experience and level up with the new cultivation technique. Instead, he opened the three bronze boxes one by one. The first two couldn't be opened, but the last one contained a sealed letter and a map.

The map depicted the topography of mountains and rivers, with annotations indicating the entrance to a relic.

Lu Bei had seen this map before, in Zhu Bo's hands. Not only that, he had also been inside the relic.

Upon opening the sealed letter, Lu Bei saw Mo Buxio's handwriting.

My disciple, I am pleased that you have noticed the anomaly in the deep well and obtained the Universe Bag. However, this also indicates that I have not personally taught you cultivation, which is regrettable.

Let me guess, the person who introduced you to the path of cultivation must be your senior sister, Bai Jin.

Regarding the Towering Heaven Sword Sect, there have been some misunderstandings between me, the sect master, and your senior martial brother. It is pointless to dwell on old grudges, and you don't need to inquire about them. Your Senior Sister Bai won't tell you either.

Lu Bei: "..."

No, Senior Sister Bai is very gossipy. She practically spills everything.

Don't become arrogant and complacent just because of a little talent. The cultivation world is vast, and there are countless strong cultivators. Take the four formations I left behind, for example. It must have taken you a lot of effort to overcome them.

Lu Bei: "......"

Alright, stop showing off your Divine Ability. You've never guessed correctly.

In the Universe Bag, I've left you a bottle of 'Third Transformation Nurturing Pill', which has the effect of consolidating your foundation and enhancing your cultivation. You can handle it yourself.

"Oh my god, it's an experience pill!"

Lu Bei exclaimed softly, drooling at the porcelain bottle.

In the gaming community, the Nurturing Pill is known as an experience pill. After taking it, it directly increases the experience of the main profession. There are different levels of Nurturing Pills, such as the Third Transformation Nurturing Pill, the Sixth Transformation Nurturing Pill, and the Ninth Transformation Nurturing Pill. They are highly valued and serve as a hard currency among players.

There are also two secret techniques. 'Great Wasteland's Secret Record of Monster Evolution' is the foundation of our Ascension Gate, with extraordinary mysteries. It can only be passed down to inner disciples. 'General Outline of the Formation Dao' is personally compiled by me, incorporating the strengths of various schools. Studying it will surely benefit you greatly.

The cultivation requirements for 'Great Wasteland's Secret Record of Monster Evolution' are strict. It requires reaching the peak of Foundation Building. It is a difficult technique to master. Even I dare not claim to have perfected it. With your current cultivation, breaking through the four formations is already extremely difficult. Reading this secret technique is like reading a heavenly book. You must be patient.

When you truly reach the peak of Foundation Building, you will find that practicing 'Great Wasteland's Secret Record of Monster Evolution' requires a pure source of Monster Race bloodline. I can't help you with that. You'll have to find it on your own.

Don't complain. Cultivation should be about self-improvement. I am just a guide for you.

Lu Bei: "......"

Skipping the map for now, Master Mo Buxio is really thoughtful. No need to say anything else, let's give him a thumbs up.

The other two bronze boxes also contain maps. Inside are legacies left by me for you. If you can't open them, it means your strength is not enough. Wait until you can open them before exploring. Don't be impatient. What is meant to be yours will eventually be yours. My arrangements are exquisite, and I'm sure no one else will figure them out.

Lu Bei: "......"

I said not to say anything, but you insisted. Now, your coolness factor keeps dropping.

Remember to register at the Heaven Ascending Gate and learn more about formations. Don't think exploring ruins is harmless. Desecrating tombs is a disgraceful act.

Although it is disgraceful, this is how cultivation works. The Nine States World may seem abundant in spiritual energy on the surface, but it has experienced a great catastrophe. The inheritance of the Immortal Gate is fragmented. To obtain complete techniques, it is necessary to learn from the experiences of predecessors.

For example, the Three Pristine Peak where we are located, as well as the other eight peaks of Nine Bamboo Mountain, each peak has spiritual energy, but this peak stands out. When I first arrived here, I noticed the traces of a Cave Mansion left by a senior. While exploring cautiously, I established the Ascension Gate to conceal my actions and gained a lot, advancing my cultivation further.

Attached is another map that I arranged in my early years. It is different from the underground palace here. I left a little surprise for you there.

Remember, the ruins in the map are a test and trial for you. Without reaching the peak of Foundation Building, don't step in easily, or your life will be in danger.

Don't count on Senior Sister Bai for help either. You can trust her, but not completely. This applies to other cultivators as well. People may not harm tigers, but tigers can harm people. Be cautious in everything. In this cultivation world full of material desires, kindness is not a commendable virtue.

After reading the lengthy letter, Lu Bei took a deep breath, put away the experience pill, and tucked the Universe Bag containing his wealth and life into his embrace.

Close to his body.

He paid his respects to his good master. For a long time to come, even after reaching level 40, he wouldn't have to worry about his main cultivation technique.

Furthermore, with an experience pill, there won't be any more difficulties in distributing the experience unevenly. All the experience earned during the previous period can be added to the "Demon-Slaying Sutra" and the "Embryonic Breath Supplementing Qi Technique".

By then, as the main profession level increases, the cultivation techniques won't be left behind. The basic attributes will double and increase, and the attack and defense will steadily rise.

Just thinking about it is perfect.

But first, the mission experience needs to be claimed.

[You have completed the mission [Secret of the Ascension Gate]]

[You have completed the main mission: Unraveling the Mystery, gaining 30,000 experience]

[You have completed the side mission: Defeating the Mudman Formation, gaining...

[...

This mission's 140,000 experience, combined with the previous 40,000 experience gained from defeating Ding Lei, Du Jinglan, and Pang Miaosong, accumulates to a total of 180,000 experience, reaching a reserve total of 900,000 experience.

Lu Bei discovered something that made him extremely sad. Defeating Feng Si, Ding Lei, and others would grant experience, but it wouldn't work for minor characters like hooligans and Lofty Brow Faction disciples.

There are limitations to NPC templates. Bullying weak opponents can only show off, and it can't bring him any experience benefits, reducing his happiness by half.

Once the level surpasses the opponent by too much, defeating or killing them won't grant any experience. He can't rely on killing chickens to become the Sword God of Ten Li Slope, reducing his happiness by another half.

Happiness reset to zero, negative emotions arise.

Boom!

Just as Lu Bei took off the Sect Leader's seal, the mechanism above his head activated. Soil fell with a rumble, and the dim light shone through the trees. He leaped out and found himself in the forest behind the mountain, only a hundred meters away from Little Hu Li's lair.

"It's time to expand..."

Lu Bei muttered as he looked at the entrance of the cave, counting on his fingers, "Alchemy Room, Blacksmith Shop, Store, Underground Palace... Expanding this time will probably cost a lot of money... It's regrettable, I only focused on establishing the character and made a mistake!"

He regretted paying off the debt to Ding Lei too early. If he had waited for another ten days or half a month, he could have used it directly to pay for the construction.

"I was careless this time, paying the IQ tax. I promise I won't make the same mistake next time!" Lu Bei shook his head repeatedly.

It's not that he valued money too much, but the difference between NPC templates and player templates was too great. He didn't receive direct monetary rewards for completing missions, and he had to earn money for daily expenses and to support Little Hu Li.

And the importance of money to a cultivator goes without saying. Economic strength determines the superstructure: pills, artifacts, formations, cultivation techniques, everything requires money. Without money, how can one cultivate as an immortal? First, fix the road before anything else.

Lu Bei jumped into the cave, closed the mechanism, passed by four formations, and placed the spirit crystals back into the formation eyes one by one. Finally, he left the underground palace through the well.

A good place. With just this underground palace, players will have a place in the strategy for the beginner's village.

...

"What? What did you write?"

In the backyard, as soon as Lu Bei crawled out of the well, he saw Hu Qing running over, chirping and writing a few lines of dog-like words on the ground with its paw.

And it even came with a picture.

"There's a big brother who draws his sword and breaks through the sky knocking on the door... Let me guess, your meaning is that a senior brother from the Towering Heaven Sword Sect has come to visit, right?"

"Squeak."

"Wait, what does this date mean? What did he do to you?"

"Squeak squeak."

"Oh, he'll arrive at noon."

Lu Bei looked up at the sky. He had spent half a day exploring the underground palace, and now it was almost sunset, getting dark soon. He asked, "Where is he? Did he go back?"

"Squeak."

"He went to drink water in the woods... I understand. Wait for me at the deep pool in the back mountain. He's been waiting for so long, this person is quite patient!"

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

Seeing that Lu Bei understood, Hu Qing smiled with raised eyebrows, spinning around him. The four little Hu Li in the distance saw this and ran over in a line, circling around Lu Bei.

But because they got dizzy, they quickly stopped.

Lu Bei left a bottle of Spirit Opening Pill as a snack for the little Hu Li and walked towards the deep pool in the back mountain alone. In just a moment, he saw the senior brother who drew his sword and broke through the sky knocking on the door.

"Damn it! They've gone too far!!"

The man in black angrily threw down his fishing rod, kicked the small stool under his butt, and still unsatisfied, pointed his finger like a sword, causing the shining sword wheel to descend. Then...

He and Lu Bei locked eyes, awkwardly freezing in place.

"Are you free?"

"Not completely free, caught a snake."

"..."
