Chapter 639: Chapter 369: Joining the Celestial Court, Stationed as a Celestial Soldier (Part 4)
They possess extremely high intelligence, experiencing emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness just like ordinary people, engaging in daily social interactions.
They all practice the universal Daoist arts, prohibitions, and Divine Techniques of the Celestial Court’s Celestial Soldiers, equipped with standard armor and weapons, and can even collect magical artifacts as spoils of war.
In any case, they should not be regarded as Spirit Monsters; they can be viewed as ordinary people.
If you treat them well, they will support you.
Su Yu merely distributed a bit more Spiritual Qi and invited them for a meal. After the meal, he gave each Celestial Soldier a peach, earning their allegiance.
After one night, Su Yu officially began his life as a squad leader of Celestial Soldiers.
Every day, after the routine attendance check and dismissal, they would begin their daily cultivation.
The Celestial Soldiers cultivate in their rooms by absorbing the Spiritual Qi from Spirit Vein nodes. In their free time, they practice strength techniques on the training ground, or practice Daoist arts and combat techniques in private.
As a captain, Su Yu also enjoyed this freedom. After the attendance check, everything was up to his own schedule.
With the door closed and a "Do Not Disturb" sign hung, he could activate the dormitory’s restriction, and no one would know whether he was inside or not.
Su Yu entered the Chaos World, where the gateway was wide open to his place of cultivation, and he would instantly know if someone knocked on the door outside.
The watch captain basically wouldn’t look for him, holding only a monthly meeting with no other tasks, each squad living its own life without interference.
Leisure is true leisure; several months could pass by without him leaving the dormitory, until the mid-year routine patrol arrived.
Other squads had players of the same race who could substitute for the patrol and attendance check.
Su Yu’s squad consisted entirely of Celestial Soldiers, so he had to lead the patrol himself.
The method of patrol was very simple; each squad had a standard Flying Ship from the Celestial Court—a ten-tier Celestial Skiff, surrounded by white clouds and only about ten yards in size. Completing a patrol meant piloting the skiff around the Undetermined Mountains.
The Flying Ship, enveloped by clouds and celestial light, shuttled through the sky, with endless mountains below, and occasionally some Grotto Heaven fragment portals stood between heaven and earth or were wedged in mountain rocks.
Occasionally, he saw players flying from a distance, diving into certain Grotto Heaven fragments.
Standing at the bow, Su Yu watched as a light screen unfolded before him, displaying a map of the Undetermined Mountains, which he had automatically received after serving at the mountain outpost, marked in detail with all the known Grotto Heaven fragments discovered by the Celestial Court.
The main task of the patrol was not expulsion but to search for undiscovered new Grotto Heaven fragments.
The Celestial Court’s reason for setting up an outpost here was primarily to search for the core Grotto Heaven remnants of the Wuding Immortal Dynasty.
According to regulations, discovering a new Grotto Heaven fragment yields over 100 celestial merits, with more awarded for important fragments. Finding the core Grotto Heaven remnants of the Wuding Immortal Dynasty nets a minimum of 3,000 celestial merits plus a minor achievement.
If fortunate enough to discover the central Grotto Heaven of the Wuding Immortal Country’s capital, one can receive a major achievement and 10,000 celestial merits.
In the Celestial Court, one minor achievement can be exchanged for a lower-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure, while a major achievement can be exchanged for a middle-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure. If given the opportunity to earn a heavenly achievement, one can exchange it for an upper-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure.
Lower-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasures are relatively common; middle-grade ones are very rare, less than one percent of the lower-grade.
Upper-grade ones are even rarer; not every Golden Immortal possesses one.
The core Grotto Heaven of the Wuding Immortal Country is valued at a middle-grade Spiritual Treasure, a considerable worth indeed.
As the celestial skiff flew, it surveyed the map, occasionally checking the regional channel, sometimes seeing players from various races passing by on flying swords or Flying Ships, all avoiding the celestial skiff from a distance.
As a member of the Celestial Court, the scope of the regional channel is now much larger than before.
Previously, the regional channel only covered a small area; like when he discovered a Grotto Heaven fragment in the Undetermined Mountains, few people responded to their calls in the regional channel.
Now, as part of the Celestial Court, the regional channel encompasses the entire Undetermined Mountains, updating information rapidly with over a hundred Human Race players communicating within.
