Chapter 18: Master, I don’t want to work hard anymore!
“Supernatural powers?” Gu Liuyun scratched his face in surprise and asked, “Master, I was just cultivating my Qi. Don’t supernatural powers typically require alchemical skills to practice?”
“You’re right. Most supernatural powers indeed require alchemical proficiency, but…” Tianluan’s delicate eyebrows arched slightly as she continued with arrogance, “What I’m about to teach you is anything but ordinary.”
Gu Liuyun brightened at this revelation and exclaimed, “I see. I’m very excited about it.”
Tianluan’s lips curled slightly as she extended a finger, fair as alabaster, and gestured to him, saying, “Come here.”
Seeing Tianluan’s regal demeanor and inviting gesture, Gu Liuyun felt a magnetic pull and quickly approached.
“Clear your mind and focus, and try to comprehend deeply,” she advised.
With this guidance, Tianluan’s slender finger lightly touched Gu Liuyun’s forehead.
[Ding! Tianluan wants to impart the Supreme Divine Skill “Heaven-Locking Thunder Formation” to you!].
[Ding! To cultivate the “Heaven-Locking Thunder Formation,” you must meet the prerequisite conditions: 90 points in innate spiritual aptitude and 99 points in innate comprehension.].
[Ding! Prerequisite conditions met. You have successfully learned the supreme divine skill “Heaven-Locking Thunder Formation”!].
“The Heaven-Locking Thunder Formation” was a supreme divine skill created by Tianluan. It possessed terrifying powers capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.
Effect: The cooldown time was 120 seconds. It consumed 500 spiritual points. It summoned a thundercloud with a blocking effect in the target area, continuously dealing thunder attribute damage to the target area for 5 seconds, totaling (a fixed 500 + an additional 50% of spiritual resources) damage!
“Wow! It’s a rare supreme divine skill!” Gu Liuyun was quite amazed after reading the skill description.
In addition to the fixed damage, this supernatural power inflicts 50% damage based on spiritual resources. In the future, as his spiritual resources grew with his cultivation, techniques, and spiritual artifacts, the power of this divine skill would also increase!
Not only that, the summoned thundercloud also had a blocking effect. If the enemy had no special way to remove the blockade, they could only take the full damage within the thundercloud’s coverage. With such a powerful divine skill, Gu Liuyun couldn’t wait to go out and test its might.
“Thank you, Master, for teaching me this technique. I’d like to go and try the power of this divine skill,” Gu Liuyun said.
Tianluan looked at the excited Gu Liuyun with a joyful expression. This technique, “The Heaven-Locking Thunder Formation,” was her creation, demanding high innate spiritual resources and a profound understanding. She wanted to pass it on multiple times but was hindered by its formidable prerequisites, making it impossible for even Murong Qianxue, let alone other disciples, to practice it. The fact that there was finally a disciple who could master it perfectly fills Tianluan with great fondness for Gu Liuyun.
[Ding! You have fulfilled Tianluan Taoist’s inheritance wish, Tianluan favorability +100!].
[Ding! The relationship between you and Tianluan has been upgraded, and it is currently on the second level: you have a good conversation.].
Gu Liuyun was pleasantly surprised to hear that his favorability had been raised to the second level in “Nine Realms.”
In “Nine Realms,” whether you’re a player or an NPC, there are nine levels of friendliness:
First Encounter 1~199
Engaging Conversations 200~299
Exploring Together 300~399
Constant Companions 400~499
Weathering Storms Together 500~599
Intimacy 600~699
Brotherhood 700~799
Heart-to-Heart 800~899
Life and Death Bond 900~999
Friendship in “Nine Realms” was a vital attribute. The higher the friendship between players, the greater the BUFF bonuses when teaming up. Additionally, higher friendships with NPCs made it easier to trigger unique events.
With the game only being live for two days, Gu Liuyun had already achieved a second-level relationship with Tianluan, an impressive feat. As their relationship grew, opportunities began to emerge.
Initially planning to test some moves, Gu Liuyun found himself unexpectedly held back by Tianluan, who gently grasped his collar.
“Don’t rush. Your martial arts skills could use some improvement. Let’s exchange techniques together,” Tianluan suggested.
With those words, Tianluan’s fingers lifted and lightly touched Gu Liuyun’s forehead again.
[Ding! The real Tianluan wants to teach you the top-grade mental method “Tianluan Seizes the Heaven Scripture”!].
[Ding! There is currently a top-grade Mental Technique, “Tempering Spirit.”, do you want to replace it?].
No need for further consideration. Gu Liuyun promptly opted for the replacement.
[Ding! Successfully learned the top-grade Mental Technique “Tianluan Seizes the Heaven Scripture”!].
“The Heavenly Phoenix Scripture”: A basic-level mental technique created by Tianluan, with the potential to be cultivated up to the Fifth Stage of the Divine Mansion Realm.
Effects: Increases Reiki absorption by +100%; enhances spiritual power recovery by +100%; during battle, there’s a 10% chance to recover 30% of your current spiritual power limit!
Unbelievable! This powerful mental technique was, once again, created by her!
The effect of this mental technique was incredibly strong, with a 10% chance to recover 30% of spiritual power!
If luck is on your side, it is like having an infinite mana pool, a perpetual motion machine for spiritual power!
As Gu Liuyun gazed at the enchanting Tianluan in front of him, he suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to embrace her and steal a kiss!
Master, I no longer want to put in the effort!
