53: Chapter 53 Skill Quality Upgrade Book

Although he had placated the group of Prodigies who hadn't reached the current version, Su Yi's heart remained uneasy.

Because Gu Wanquan had disappeared!

Ever since losing to Su Yi, Gu Wanquan had seemingly vanished, never returning to his small courtyard.

This made Su Yi, who was already anxious, feel even more uneasy.

If they met, he could rely on his silver tongue to smooth things over, but this kind of disappearance meant he couldn't see him.

Who knew if they met again, the other party might possess Golden Core cultivation and suppress him like an ant with a single wave of his hand!

While feeling anxious, Su Yi kept winning in the Outer Sect Competition.

Having reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, with Grandmaster-Rank Water Arrow Technique and the purple-grade skill "Softness Around the Fingers" in his arsenal, Su Yi didn't know how he could possibly lose.

When facing opponents of the same Rank, Su Yi would stand rooted to the spot and instantly cast a barrage of Water Arrow Technique.

It was enough to force his opponents, who were still charging their skills, to surrender.

The fame of Brother Shuizi, as Su Yi kept winning and winning in the Outer Sect Competition, had completely resounded throughout the entire Outer Sect!

After defeating an opponent with extreme boredom once again, Su Yi suddenly realized amidst the cheers that he had won the finals!

The skill levels were all so mediocre; aside from Gu Wanquan, there really wasn't anyone in this Outer Sect Competition worth fighting!

When that middle-aged, bald, pot-bellied man handed the prizes representing victory—a "Low Grade Spirit Sword" and "one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones"—to Su Yi.

Su Yi turned around and raised the spirit sword in his hand, facing the deafening cheers like a tsunami, his heart remained completely calm, and he even felt like laughing.

No wonder Gu Wanquan could destroy the sect alone in his previous life; if everyone was at this level, then destroying the sect didn't seem that difficult!

"Ding: Main stage mission completed, reward: Experience automatically raised to Level 10!"

"Ding: Character level can be increased!"

"Ding: After leveling up, the Newbie Gift Pack can be opened!"

The incessant dinging sounds made Su Yi, who was holding the spirit sword, feel a ringing in his ears.

He didn't know where to turn off the sound of this thing, and it appeared so suddenly that it gave Su Yi a start.

Seeing the System completion and still worried about Gu Wanquan seeking revenge, Su Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Ever since he had Transmigration, his tightly strung nerves finally relaxed.

He listened to the bald, pot-bellied man beside him who was still rambling on, starting another self-indulgent speech.

The Disciple, having already experienced this Elder's silver tongue, slipped away one by one.

Soon, the entire Martial Arts Arena was left with only a few scattered Foundation Establishment deacons who couldn't leave due to their status.

And Su Yi, standing beside the bald, pot-bellied man, couldn't retreat because he was too close to the target.

He could only smile stiffly and listen to the bald, pot-bellied man's speech from beginning to end.

Having finally returned to his small courtyard, Su Yi couldn't wait to dive straight into his room.

He took ten of the newly acquired one hundred Spirit Stones, topped up his account, filled the experience bar, and clicked upgrade.

"Upgrade!"

As the System sound for the upgrade rang out, the True Qi within Su Yi's body began to spin crazily.

Suddenly, the entire courtyard was filled with a faint water mist!

This phenomenon attracted the attention of those who were diligently cultivating.

When they noticed that the abnormality originated from Su Yi's room, they immediately realized that this Senior Brother Su was making a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage tonight!

It seemed that in terms of talent, Gu Wanquan and Su Yi were far ahead of them!

While they were still sighing in admiration, Su Yi had already completed the transformation from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment!

The True Qi vortex within his body spun rapidly, crazily absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from the surroundings.

Until, in the center of the vortex, a drop of liquid True Essence gradually formed.

This drop of True Essence gathered and grew larger, until finally, the entire vortex condensed into a single point of True Essence, dripping into his Dantian!

"Ding-dong!"

A sound like a water droplet falling into a pond rang out.

At the same time, this sound rang out simultaneously within a ten-kilometer radius!

True Essence emerges, Foundation Establishment is achieved!

Unlike during Qi Refining, Su Yi could clearly feel the existence of this drop of True Essence!

Between Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining, there is a gap of one heaven; it is the beginning of the difference between a true cultivator and a Mortal!

Before he could even feel the sensation of the True Essence flowing within his body, the System sounds rang out incessantly in his ears.

"Ding, character level has been raised to Level 10!"

"Ding, fixed attribute point +1, random attribute point +1, Newbie Gift Pack status available!"

Looking at the Newbie Gift Pack that had returned to an openable state, Su Yi silently recited:

"Open prize!"

A huge roulette wheel appeared in front of Su Yi again, and following the spell-casting posture, he performed a set of seventy-four hand gestures towards the wheel.

After completing the entire process, Su Yi spun the wheel hard!

The wheel spun rapidly, and the moment it stopped, a brilliant golden light burst forth!

Golden Epic!

When Su Yi saw a book enveloped in golden light land in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment.

If players of "immortal path" knew that one could be disappointed even after rolling a Golden Epic,

the bunch of Blue Sky White Cloud players would bash Su Yi until even his own mother wouldn't recognize him!

Buddy, even for a Golden Epic, the probability is less than 2%!

For those with bad luck, if you round it off, doesn't it amount to nothing?!!

Although Su Yi knew it was impossible to roll a Red Mythic every time, he still couldn't help but feel disappointed after his expectations were dashed.

The book radiating golden light landed in front of Su Yi, and upon seeing the words on the book, Su Yi couldn't help but be stunned.

"skill quality upgrade book"

"Quality: Golden"

"Function: After use, increase the quality of any currently learned skill by one Rank (below Golden)."

This meant it could upgrade a white-grade skill to blue-grade, or a purple-grade skill to golden-grade.

If this "skill quality upgrade book" existed in "immortal path" before he Transmigration, it would have made all the major guilds beat each other's brains out.

Possessing this skill book was equivalent to gaining an extra golden-grade skill!

Not to mention golden-grade skills, the rarity of even purple-grade skills meant that only a very small fraction of people in the entire game could obtain them.

But even if it was a small fraction, they still existed, yet those who could learn golden-grade skills were few and far between!

Because learning skills wasn't just about System learning and then grinding experience points like crazy.

Skill learning usually required attribute restrictions, and higher-level skills had even stricter requirements for talent.

A golden-grade skill required a golden-grade talent!

This point alone stumped ninety-nine percent of players!

Players who could possess a golden-grade talent were all renowned figures in the entire "immortal path"!

And this "skill quality upgrade book" could actually ignore the talent requirements of a skill and directly upgrade a purple-grade skill to golden-grade!

Its rarity was self-evident!

Upon seeing this "skill quality upgrade book," Su Yi's first thought was of "Softness Around the Fingers."

This was his only purple-grade skill!

But he, who still wanted to walk the path of a Sword Cultivator, was somewhat unwilling.

A Sword Cultivator was the profession he was most familiar with and most skilled at.

If he really used this skill quality upgrade book on the Water Element Evasion Technique "Softness Around the Fingers."

Then he would really be going further and further down the path of Brother Shuizi!

Thinking of this slightly colorful nickname, Su Yi was completely against it!

I really don't want to be Brother Shuizi!
