nAfter Su Yi followed shopkeeper Wei to a private room, shopkeeper Wei left him alone.

nHe sat cross-legged on the bed and entered the immortal destiny seal with his mind, only to see the activity interface flashing slightly.

nThe 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?

nLooking 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.

nHint: Do you wish to enter the activity Dao treasure fishing?

nYes.

nIn 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.

nHint: Do you want to buy a treasure fishing rod?

nYes.

nHint: Spent 200,000 yuan. Successfully purchased treasure fishing rod x 20.

n

n

nAlmost without any delay, 20 treasure fishing rods appeared in his immortal fate seal.

nLooking at the lake full of Dao charm, Su Yi still chose to fish ten times.

nFishing failed.

nFishing successful, obtained: Dao gem x10.

nFishing failed.

nFishing failed.

nFishing successful, obtained: Dao gem x5.

n…

nAfter 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?

nIt was useless to sigh. He proceeded to fish for another ten rounds.

nFishing failed.

nFishing failed.

nFishing success: Obtained Dao Treasure — Evil-slaying Sword Record.

nFishing failed.

n…

nSeeing the notification that his 13th attempt had yielded treasure, Su Yi was finally able to relax.

nVery soon, an item that looked like a scroll appeared in front of him.

nThe sword record was like a scroll. Its entire body had ancient and simple patterns, and there were even sword patterns engraved on it.

nWhen he opened it, he saw that there was a lifelike picture of a sword inside the sword record.

nAt the same time, an ancient sword aura was emitted from the sword pattern.

nHe had also seen the attributes of the Evil-slaying Sword Record.

nDao treasure: Evil-slaying Sword Record (passive).

nDao aura: Grade 0.

nDescription: 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.

nBase effect: Strength 10%.

nDao aura upgrade: Spend (95

/100) Dao gems to upgrade. Upper limit: Grade 3.

nLook at the Evil-slaying Sword Record attributes, Su Yi had a shock.

nAlthough 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.

nAfter 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.

nIn an instant, a shocking aura burst out from his body.

nHe felt that his strength had increased by a large margin, and his attack power had also increased by a level.

nHe exhaled and stood up to move his body.

nHis entire body emitted creaking sounds. This was the result of the increase in strength.

nAfter getting used to it, there was also the sound of knocking on the door from outside.

nDong dong dong-

n“Fellow Daoist Su…”

nIt was Nie Ling. She called out, afraid that she would disturb Su Yi’s cultivation, so she stopped.

n“Mm, come in.”

nNie 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.

n“How was your cultivation? I didn’t disturb you, did I?”

n“No, I just finished my cultivation.”

n“That’s good. I was afraid that I would accidentally disturb you at a critical moment.”

n…

n“It’s nothing. Did you get any news?”

nHe looked at Nie Ling and asked. It had only been two hours since he started fishing.

nNie Ling must have gotten some news since she came back so quickly.

nAs expected, Nie Ling replied, “yes, the recruitment competition of Tiandao sect will be held in three months.”

n“Three months? That’s good too.”

nHe 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.

n“By the way, fellow Daoist Nie, can you help me collect some foundation establishment pill formulas?”

nIf he wanted to increase his strength, pills were imperative to do so. With the Starry Sea Bottle, he could ignore pill poison.

nMoreover, this was a digitized world, so he was not afraid that taking pills would cause his foundation to falter.

nAfter he said this, a mysterious smile appeared on Nie Ling’s face.

n“Hehe, I knew you would be looking for the pill formulas. I’ve already prepared them for you.”

nShe 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.

nNow 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.

nPill formula: Azure origin pill.

nEffect: Consume one pill to increase your foundation establishment cultivation.

nRequired ingredients: Foundation establishment stage demon core, ancient demon powder, absolute dust flower.

n—

nPill formula: Foundation establishment pill.

nEffect: Consuming one pill to increase the success rate of breaking through the foundation establishment stage.

nRequired ingredients: Foundation establishment stage demon core, black vine, Brahma flower, thunder bamboo.

n…

nThe 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.

nThe 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.

nSeeing 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.”

n“If we go hunting for it, it will probably take a few days before we can collect a certain amount.”

n“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.”

nHe 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.

n“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…”

nNie 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.

n

n

n“You go ahead. You should know my strength. Nothing will happen in the Demon Subduing Mountain.”

n“Okay”

n…

nAfter saying goodbye to Nie Ling, he walked out of the Nie family’s trading company and followed the map to a teleportation array.

nThrough the teleportation array, he arrived at the foot of the Demon Subduing Mountain.

nAt first glance, the Demon Subduing Mountain made him feel insignificant. Its sheer size caused a man to remember just how small he was.

nThere was a patch of forest in the middle of the mountain, blocking out much of the scenery.

nThe tallest mountain peak could no longer be seen, its peak towering into the clouds.

nUnder the lingering clouds and mist, one could still see a few demon beasts strolling about.

n…
