Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 5: Change of Career to Sword Cultivator
"Yes!" Lu Qingshan chose to learn the skills without hesitation. The 40 experience points he had just obtained were immediately reduced by 10 points.
"Experience -10, learning [Air Induction Technique]!"
A lot of data flooded into Lu Qingshan's mind.
Completely different from the feeling of simply clicking on skills in the game, after these data entered Lu Qingshan's mind, they turned into knowledge related to the skills.
How to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, how to draw the energy, and the route of spiritual energy in the body...
It was like an initiation, allowing Lu Qingshan to truly master this technique in an instant.
At the same time, in his empty Dantian, Lu Qingshan once again felt a trace of thin mist-like spiritual power (spiritual power +10).
"Study successfully! You have mastered the [Qi Guiding Technique], and your rank has been raised to Qi Refining!"
"Advanced successfully. It has been detected that the conditions for job transfer have been met. Please choose one of the following six jobs as your main job: Sword Cultivator, Physical Cultivator, Beast Cultivator, Spirit Cultivator, Magic Cultivator, and Dark Cultivator. Please note that once the main job is determined, it cannot be changed!"
"Choose sword cultivation!"
"Job transfer successful, you get the main job [Sword Cultivator]!"
"You get the professional talent [Specialization]: Without specialization, you can't succeed. A swordsman who specializes in swordsmanship will not be able to switch to any secondary profession!"
"You gain the occupational talent [Entrapment]: The will to entrap, there is death but no life. All damage caused by sword cultivators is increased by: rank x5%. As a balance, sword cultivators will not receive any correction bonus to their endurance attribute value!"
"You gain the occupational talent [Swordsmanship Affinity] (Elementary): The experience points required for swordsmen to learn and upgrade sword skills are reduced by 10%, the experience points required to learn and upgrade skills other than sword skills are increased by 10%, and the damage of sword skills is increased by 5%!"
…
This is the sword cultivator, the most distinctive profession in "Nine Heavens".
In the eyes of a sword cultivator, everything in the world depends on a sword.
Sword cultivators never dabble in the art of cultivating immortals, or the art of cultivating immortals. In the eyes of sword cultivators, is there any problem that cannot be solved by a single blow of the sword? What's the point of learning those arts?
Sword cultivator is the main profession with the thinnest health and the most fragile body in "Jiu Tian".
He is the only one among the six main professions that does not gain endurance attribute bonus as the rank increases.
Before each player changes their job, the conversion ratio between stamina and health is fixed: 1 stamina = 10 health.
However, except for sword cultivators, after changing jobs, the ratio of endurance attribute value to life points will be increased by 1 point for each level increase (1 endurance = 11 life points).
Physical training with endurance as the main attribute will get a 2-point boost. It won’t be noticeable in the beginning, but as the rank increases, the bonus will become more and more obvious.
If one reaches the fifth level of Lianxu in "Nine Heavens", at this time, for a physical cultivator, 1 endurance = 20 (10 + 2 × 5) health points, while for a sword cultivator at the same level, 1 endurance = 10 health points, which is exactly twice as much.
That is to say, starting from the realm of refining emptiness, one point of endurance of a physical cultivator is equivalent to two points of endurance of a sword cultivator.
Of course, as compensation for the sword cultivator's poor health, the sword cultivator's attack power has been greatly buffed.
Sword cultivators are an extreme profession that sacrifices health points in exchange for explosive damage. With the bonus of [Entrapment], the damage-making ability of sword cultivators is the best in "Nine Heavens". Even the most durable physical cultivators cannot withstand the continuous attacks of sword cultivators.
This is a profession with both obvious advantages and disadvantages.
The sword-cultivating player is known as a "reckless man" or "mad dog" in "Jiu Tian".
The official of "Jiu Tian" once conducted a voting survey to vote for the most popular , and Sword Cultivator was elected with a high vote rate of 50%.
But what is commendable is that in the survey to vote for the profession that players hate the most, Sword Cultivator once again topped the list with an overwhelming advantage of 90% of the votes.
The mechanism of the Sword Cultivator profession is very popular among players. To put it simply, it can be summed up in one word: "show". However, the reason why many players dislike it is often because of this word "show", which often makes themselves and their teammates' scalps numb.
Anemia and explosive damage, these two labels are concentrated on the same profession, and the consequence is that every time when there is a battle, the sword cultivator is like having a full-level taunt aura turned on, and is always the primary target of the enemy's fire - no one dares to let the sword cultivator output.
Sword cultivation is a profession with an astonishing upper limit and a frighteningly low lower limit. The difference between sword cultivation in the hands of advanced players and ordinary players is huge.
In the hands of advanced players, sword cultivators often kill people in the mortal world, escape from the sword, soar to the sky with a sword, and make the gods fear them. They are called sword immortals!
In the hands of a newbie, sword cultivation means death like the wind, which is always by my side. It can only enter but not leave. Once you enter, you are gone. It is truly a matter of death and no life, and you are dubbed an orphan.
But no matter whether it is a sword immortal or an orphan, sword cultivator players can all enjoy the happiness that belongs only to sword cultivators.
Why do players play games?
Isn't it just for fun?
…
After changing his profession to sword cultivator, Lu Qingshan's originally empty personal attribute panel underwent major changes:
Lu Qingshan (Human)
Occupation: Swordsman
Skill: [Qi-inducing Technique] Lv1 (0/100)——[Spiritual Power +10]
Level: Qi Refining
Experience: 30
Free attribute points: 0
Personal attributes: Strength 1, Agility 1, Mana 1, Spirit 1, Charm 1, Endurance 1
Health: 20/20
Spiritual power: 10/10
Talents: [Born with a Sword] (Legendary), [Thick Skin], [Specialization], [Breakthrough], [Swordsmanship Affinity] (Basic)
Skill: [Sky Eye Technique]
…
In just a short moment, Lu Qingshan transformed from a mortal into a Qi-refining cultivator.
However, Jie Shi, who was standing by, did not notice anything unusual. All the changes were completed silently .
After becoming a Qi-refining cultivator and possessing spiritual power, Lu Qingshan can use the storage bag.
"What is the specific situation of this corpse refining cave? How many people are there? What is their cultivation level? Please tell me in detail."
A gleam of light flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes. He asked Jie Shi for the specific information about the corpse refining cave. At the same time, he took off the storage bag hanging around Jie Shi's waist and played with it in his hand.
Jie Shi looked at his storage bag in Lu Qingshan's hand, a shadow flashed in his eyes, but he answered Lu Qingshan's questions very cooperatively.
According to Jie Shi's explanation, the scale of this corpse refining cave is much larger than Lu Qingshan expected.
The owner of the Corpse Refining Cave [Blood Corpse Immortal], who is also the master of Jie Shi and Song Qing, is not the Qi Refining cultivator that Lu Qingshan had expected , but a veteran Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The reason why the corpse pool where Lu Qingshan was located used the first-grade strong corpse liquid was because there were three corpse pools in the entire corpse refining cave.
Two of them are corpse pools used to refine first-grade corpse puppets. Lu Qingshan is in one of them, and the other one is used to refine second-grade corpse puppets.
The second-grade corpse puppet corresponds to the foundation-building cultivator, and only the foundation-building cultivator can refine it.
After learning the specific situation of the Corpse Refining Cave, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
Fortunately, [Blood Corpse Master] is out and has not returned yet, otherwise it would be impossible to escape from here.
Qi Refining monks still belong to the category of mortals to a large extent. As long as the plan is proper, it is not impossible for mortals to kill Qi Refining monks. However, it is completely different for Foundation Establishment monks.
In the world of cultivators, leaping levels is like ascending to heaven. The skills mastered by foundation-building cultivators far surpass those of Qi-refining cultivators, both in quantity and level.
Coupled with the ability of [Spiritual Perception], in terms of combat power alone, the Foundation Establishment cultivator can easily crush the Qi Refining cultivator.
