[So you hatched a plan, preparing to follow Jin Congxue, because you knew that following her might lead to the entrance of the dungeon.]
[Jin Congxue grew wary of you, but after confirming that your strength was no threat to her, she no longer paid attention.]
[You followed her all the way, only to see that she just intended to return to Jinling City.]
[Jin Congxue chose a small path to return to the city, and your heart stirred, thinking that she might have discovered the dungeon entrance on this path.]
[With a turn, Jin Congxue disappeared from sight, and you were shocked, thinking she had already entered the dungeon.]
[At that moment, a cold voice sounded behind you: Who are you? Why are you following me?]
[Looking at the slightly angry beauty before you, you could only muster the courage to say you were very interested in Buddhism and had heard Jin Congxue had deep knowledge of it, so you wanted to consult her.]
[Jin Congxue expressed disbelief and asked you some common knowledge and questions about Buddhism.]
[Fortunately, you had studied some Buddhist teachings beforehand, and although answering awkwardly, you managed to convince her slightly.]
[Jin Congxue asked what questions you had for her, and you asked about the "Ten Great Questions" that you had seen online, which Jin Congxue could not answer.]
[Jin Congxue said she would answer you in a few days, and you took the opportunity to suggest returning to the city with her.]
[Jin Congxue reluctantly agreed, and you walked along the small path outside the city.]
[After walking for a while, you suddenly noticed a strange light emanating from under a willow tree not far ahead.]
[Jin Congxue was both surprised and delighted, stating it was likely a temporary dungeon she wanted to explore.]
[You quickly expressed your desire to explore as well, but Jin Congxue said your strength was too low, and she couldn't protect you.]
[You insisted on entering, and she assumed you were courting death, so she didn't refuse.]
[You entered the "Qingyun Spirit Field" dungeon.]
Su Xing saw this and was overjoyed. He had succeeded!
The Qingyun Spirit Field was clearly a cultivation dungeon, and although the secrets it held were unknown to Su Xing for the time being, it was definitely useful to him.
Su Xing, filled with excitement, continued to simulate.
[You arrived in an unfamiliar environment, a mountaintop with beautiful scenery and a thatched cottage in the distance.]
[You were ecstatic because you sensed the rich spiritual energy around, confirming this was indeed a cultivator's abode!]
[Jin Congxue walked towards the thatched cottage, and you followed.]
[You knocked on the door of the thatched cottage, and a white-haired elder with a youthful face stepped out.]
[The elder was surprised by your arrival and said this place was a secret realm for immortals, open only to those with great fortune.]
[The elder explained that you both were people of fortune, and if you were willing to complete his task, he would grant you an opportunity.]
[You both accepted the task, which was to manage a spirit field for a week.]
[You and Jin Congxue each received one acre of spirit field planted with spirit grains. Your task was to help the spirit grains grow better.]
[You exchanged glances with Jin Congxue, understanding that this was likely a significant opportunity, and thus carefully tended to the spirit fields.]
[Having grown up in the countryside, you had experience with farming and quickly got the hang of it.]
[Jin Congxue, having never farmed before, fumbled clumsily and ruined quite a few spirit grains.]
[Jin Congxue sought your guidance, and you happily agreed, teaching her various farming techniques.]
[Jin Congxue's affection for you increased, and you became friends.]
[While managing the spirit fields, you discovered that spiritual energy could promote the growth of spirit fields, and your wood-attribute Changchun Technique was particularly effective!]
[Valuing this mission opportunity, you spent eight hours each day managing the spirit fields and infusing them with spiritual energy.]
[Under your careful care, the spirit grains grew wonderfully.]
[Seven days quickly passed. Besides managing the spirit fields, you spent your spare time cultivating, breaking through to the fifth level of Qi Refinement.]
[On the day to submit the task, the elder came out of the cottage to inspect your farming results.]
[The elder first inspected Jin Congxue's spirit field, his expression calm after making a round.]
[He then came to your spirit field and was astonished to see the flourishing spirit grains.]
[After inspecting the spirit fields, the elder called you both aside to distribute the task rewards.]
[The elder gave Jin Congxue ten spirit stones and a small bag of spirit rice.]
Su Xing was surprised to see this.
If he remembered correctly, Jin Congxue's previous reward should have been three spirit stones and a small bag of spirit rice.
But now the reward had increased by seven spirit stones, and there was only one reason...
With Su Xing's help, the spirit grains in Jin Congxue's spirit field had grown better!
And compared to Jin Congxue, Su Xing's spirit grains were much more prosperous. What would his reward be?
Su Xing felt a bit of anticipation.
[After giving Jin Congxue her reward, the elder waved his hand, and Jin Congxue was transported out of the dungeon.]
[Then the elder took out a transparent stone and asked you to place your hand on it.]
[You placed your hand on it, and a weak five-colored light flashed on the stone.]
[The elder sighed slightly, saying that you had a mixed spiritual root of the five elements, possessing talent for cultivation but with no hope of longevity.]
Su Xing was not surprised by this, as his spiritual root was known to be of white quality, and a mixed spiritual root of the five elements was normal.
[The elder hesitated, then finally took out a small bag of spirit stones and a large bag of spirit rice, giving you 30 spirit stones and around 30 pounds of spirit rice.]
[The elder waved his hand, and you were expelled from the dungeon.]
[After leaving the dungeon, you met Jin Congxue, who asked what reward you had received.]
[You took out a portion of the spirit stones and spirit rice, stating that your reward was the same as hers, just in greater quantity.]
[Jin Congxue nodded slightly and didn't trouble you.]
[You stayed in Jinling City for a few more days, getting along well with Jin Congxue, and then returned to Kyoto College.]
[Back at Kyoto College, you continued selling equipment and established the Tarot Society.]
[You were quite wealthy, and Wang Qingxuan found you. You understood, trying a new position you had never tried before.]
[Afterwards, Wang Qingxuan indeed disappeared, and you continued to run your business.]
[You did not use the spirit stones obtained from the dungeon, but you would cook a bowl of spirit rice every few days.]
[The spirit rice was sweet and delicious, and one bowl could keep you full for three days while nourishing your body.]
[A year passed, and you found that your Body Refinement cultivation level had unknowingly broken through to the Bone Forging Realm!]
[You understood that this was likely a result of the spirit rice and your dedication to fitness.]
[By the fifth year, you were expelled from school, which you had anticipated, and continued your old business of selling second-hand equipment.]
[During these five years, your Body Refinement level continuously improved, and you became a cultivator at the fifth stage of the Bone Forging Realm.]
