Okay, here's the English translation of the provided Chinese text:
Chapter 112: Fourth-Grade Nascent Soul, Nascent Soul Stage Perfection!
[You directly stated your purpose to Luo Shuyying and uttered the password and request.]
[Luo Shuyying believed you and used her contribution points to help you exchange for many spirit herbs.]
[For the next six months, you completed the alchemy tasks assigned to you by the upper echelons of the Arrival Sect, refining 300 pills each month, but secretly embezzled more medicinal materials.]
[After half a year, you became an elder of the Arrival Sect. You gained a more free status, and besides alchemy, you focused more on your own cultivation every day.]
[In the second year, you grasped the principle of the Small Spirit Gathering Formation and placed Gathering Spirit Flowers within it to increase your cultivation speed.]
[You opened a secret chamber near the Spirit Gathering Formation and cultivated in it every day, consuming Dragon Spirit Pills to enhance your absorption of spiritual energy. Your cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.]
[Within this year, Luo Shuyying cooperated with you, emptying the vast majority of the medicinal materials from the Arrival Sect. You possessed a sufficient amount of medicinal herbs, enough for alchemy for several years to come.]
[In the third year, you believed the time was ripe and prepared to betray the Arrival Sect with Luo Shuyying.]
[You contacted Lu Yuanwu through Jin Congxue in advance and gifted him tens of thousands of Nourishing Yuan Pills to gain his trust. You also requested that the Daxia upper echelons ambush and annihilate the Arrival Sect's Protectors and Elders who were about to pursue you.]
[The Daxia upper echelons believed you and decided to dispatch three Martial Emperor-level experts and one Legendary-level expert to cooperate with your actions.]
[You were extremely confident. With the help of these experts, plus Luo Shuyying, you were absolutely certain that you could eliminate all the experts who were pursuing you.]
[Of course, this wasn't your ultimate goal. Your purpose was to use this opportunity to eliminate Zong Laogou and inherit his immortal cultivation legacy!]
Su Xing's heart stirred, and he exclaimed, "It's in the bag!"
"With a Legendary-level expert and three Martial Emperor-level experts, Zong Laogou, I'll see where you run this time!"
Su Xing's heart was filled with excitement. If he could truly eliminate Zong Laogou, he would definitely be able to inherit Zong Laogou's legacy!
Su Xing clenched his fists and muttered:
"Immortal cultivation techniques, secret manuals, pills, heaven-grade treasures, I want them all!"
Su Xing continued to simulate.
[At the agreed time, you and Luo Shuyying met up and secretly spread the word, announcing your defection from the Arrival Sect.]
[As expected, the Arrival Sect dispatched three Protectors and over a dozen Elders to pursue you.]
[You successfully waited for the Daxia experts who came to provide support and launched a counter-ambush against these Elders.]
[You single-handedly killed several Arrival Sect Elders, while the remaining three Protectors were successfully eliminated by Luo Shuyying in cooperation with the Daxia experts.]
[For a time, the Arrival Sect suffered heavy losses in overall strength.]
[But to your surprise, Zong Laogou didn't participate in this operation. He successfully escaped.]
[Although you felt a little regretful, there was nothing you could do. You could only rush to Daxia's capital with Luo Shuyying.]
Su Xing frowned slightly and muttered:
"How is this possible? Last time Zong Laogou came to hunt me down... why didn't he fall into my trap this time after I set up an ambush in advance?"
"Could it be that the Daxia upper echelons leaked the news, and Zong Laogou learned about it ahead of time?"
Su Xing then shook his head slightly. If the news had indeed been leaked, not only would Zong Laogou not come, but even these Protectors wouldn't come to pursue them... or the Arrival Sect would simply send even stronger individuals and that would be it.
"It shouldn't be a leak, then why didn't Zong Laogou come? Does he have the ability to foresee the future? Or... are the steps in this simulation slightly different from before?"
Su Xing was a little confused for a moment.
But the matter of foresight was too unbelievable. Perhaps only the legendary immortals could do this, and ordinary cultivators would never be able to achieve this.
Therefore, Su Xing was actually more inclined to believe that there was some error in this simulation.
After all, although the simulation is simulating future trajectories, Su Xing cannot control every detail, and there are some discrepancies compared to personal participation.
"Whatever, it's just that I can't kill this old dog for the time being. Let him live a few more days..."
Su Xing shook his head slightly and then turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
[Back in the capital, you began to continue refining pills. Due to the addition of your alchemy talent, your alchemy skills and efficiency gradually improved.]
[You refined pills for four fixed hours every day, and during the remaining time, you worked hard to cultivate in the underground secret chamber of the Spirit Field Blessed Land.]
[In one year, you refined 60,000 Nourishing Yuan Pills and Refining Viscera Pills, adding over 10,000 Grandmaster-level experts to the Daxia Kingdom.]
[In the fourth year, you continued to ensure your cultivation time. Because you found that after your cultivation reached the late Nascent Soul stage, the improvement of the realm became increasingly slow.]
[So you decided to focus on alchemy for another year, refining the pills needed by the Daxia Kingdom and Luo Shuyying in advance, so that you could also cultivate in seclusion later.]
[You spent a year refining a total of hundreds of thousands of pills, adding tens of thousands of Grandmaster-level experts to the Daxia Kingdom. This year, the number of Grandmaster-level experts in the Daxia Kingdom exceeded 70,000.]
[In the same year, you ordered people to help you search for spirit herbs in the Daxia Kingdom's treasury. Besides Nourishing Yuan Grass and Yellow Immortal Essence, you also asked them to help you find some rare herbs.]
[Because of your contributions to humanity over the past two years, you were hailed as a hero of the Daxia Kingdom and a hero of all mankind.]
[And the Tarot Guild also became the top merchant guild in the entire Daxia Kingdom because of your existence. You didn't care about this, but the expansion of the Tarot Merchant Guild was beneficial to you. You asked the people of the Tarot Merchant Guild to help you collect more spirit herbs and treasures related to the immortal cultivation world.]
[In the fifth year, you refined all the herbs in the Daxia treasury, adding several thousand more Grandmaster-level experts to humanity.]
[At the same time, you also refined thousands of Dragon Spirit Pills and Yuanwu Pills. You kept over a thousand Dragon Spirit Pills and hundreds of Yuanwu Pills for your own use, and you contributed the rest to the Daxia military.]
[Due to your help, the Daxia Kingdom gained hundreds more Heavenly King-level professionals.]
[During the remaining time, you refined a lot of Concentration Pills and gave them to Luo Shuyying to help her and the Spirit Tribe break through their strength.]
[In the sixth year, Luo Shuyying successfully advanced to the Legendary-level expert with your help.]
[You then spent half a year refining a batch of healing pills. After doing all this, you began to cultivate diligently.]
[In the seventh year, you closed yourself off for half a year, cultivating underground every day. You felt that you were getting closer and closer to the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage.]
[In the eighth year, after continuous seclusion, you finally successfully broke through to the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and your cultivation advanced further!]
Su Xing frowned slightly upon seeing this.
The improvement of cultivation in the late Nascent Soul stage was even more difficult than he had imagined.
Excluding the two and a half years spent refining pills in the middle, he had spent almost six years cultivating to advance from the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage to the eighth level.
At this rate, in this simulation, he would probably just barely reach Nascent Soul stage perfection, but that was only if he was lucky.
But if his luck was bad, he might only be able to cultivate to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage...
"Hopefully, I can successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage perfection..."
Su Xing prayed silently in his heart and turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
[In the ninth year, you meditated and cultivated every day, frantically absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, and consumed Dragon Spirit Pills to increase your speed of absorbing spiritual energy.]
[But the path of cultivation is inherently against the heavens. In the late Nascent Soul stage, ordinary cultivators struggle to break through a small realm in several decades. Although you have a true spirit root and your cultivation speed is astonishing, it is still extremely difficult to break through a small realm within a few years.]
[Moreover, the more difficult it is to break through in cultivation, the more anxious your mentality becomes, which in turn affects your cultivation speed. It's a vicious cycle.]
[So, you had no choice but to look for other methods. You took out the "Leaving Fire Alchemy Classic," hoping to find a pill recipe that could increase the speed of cultivation from it.]
[After several days of browsing, you unexpectedly discovered a clue.]
[There is a pill called the Mirror Pill that can enhance a cultivator's state of mind during cultivation, achieving a state of tranquility, which can effectively improve the efficiency of cultivation.]
[This Mirror Pill is a low-grade pill, and it is not complicated to refine. The medicinal herb used, the Mirror Grass, is also relatively common and is available in the Arrival Sect's treasury.]
[What surprised you even more was that while browsing through the pill recipes, you discovered that the book recorded a pill called the Forging Nascent Soul Pill, and it also included several rumors.]
[This Forging Nascent Soul Pill can enhance the quality of the Nascent Soul. After breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage, it can make the path of immortal cultivation go further and increase the amount of spiritual energy in the dantian.]
[The book records that Nascent Souls are divided into lower, middle, and upper grades, and above the three grades, there is also a Perfect Nascent Soul. The only pity is that the recipe is missing the most crucial main herb, so you cannot refine it.]
Su Xing frowned slightly upon seeing this. The speed of Nascent Soul cultivation was already slower than he had imagined, and the Mirror Pill might help.
But what's with this fourth-grade Nascent Soul? Does it mean that Nascent Souls are also divided into levels?
Even so, how can I refine this Forging Nascent Soul Pill without the recipe, and how can I achieve a Perfect Nascent Soul?
Su Xing felt a little annoyed. After hesitating for a moment, Su Xing could only sigh:
"Whatever, let's first strive to improve my cultivation to Nascent Soul stage perfection. When I go to the Luotian Grand Assembly next time, I'll ask about this fourth-grade Nascent Soul..."
Su Xing shook his head slightly and turned his gaze back to the simulation panel.
[Next, you spent half a year successfully learning the Mirror Pill and refined several hundred of them.]
[You began to consume Mirror Pills and maintain your cultivation. You found that the effects of the Mirror Pill were outstanding. After taking it, your mind became serene, and you became calmer, allowing you to focus more on your cultivation. Your cultivation speed increased by a total of 30%.]
[In the following months, you consumed Mirror Pills every day, but eventually discovered a side effect of this pill: if you consume it consecutively multiple times, it is easy to transition from a clear mind and peaceful cultivation to laziness, and you'll enter a state of apathy, not caring about anything.]
[With no other choice, you reduced the frequency of consuming Mirror Pills, stopping for a day or two after taking a few. Your cultivation speed increased by about 20% overall.]
[Even so, you were quite satisfied. For a low-grade pill, being able to increase the cultivation speed by 20% was already quite remarkable. This speed was more than enough for you.]
[In the tenth year, you continued to cultivate every day. Due to the consumption of Mirror Pills, your mind was calm and undisturbed, and you cultivated without noticing the passage of time.]
[In the eleventh year, news arrived from the front lines at Zhenyao Pass that supplies had been cut off, and the military was in disarray. You promptly used the Fasting Pills and Healing Pills you had refined in advance to save the situation.]
[In the twelfth year, a year of diligent cultivation. You felt good, and the beneficial effects of the Mirror Pill were still excellent. You were getting closer and closer to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage.]
[In the thirteenth year, you had used up all your Mirror Pills, so you refined a new batch of Mirror Pills.]
[In the fourteenth year, your cultivation finally broke through. You became a ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivator, and only one step away from reaching the end of the Nascent Soul stage and becoming a Nascent Soul stage perfection cultivator!]
Okay, continuing the translation:
[The time it took to break through to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage was two years earlier than you had expected. You did a quick calculation and believed that the remaining time was sufficient for you to break through to Nascent Soul stage perfection.]
[So, you set aside an hour or two every day to prepare to refine Divine Power Pills, hoping to get lucky and trigger a chance enlightenment to successfully learn the Divine Power Pill.]
[In the fifteenth year, you didn't trigger any enlightenment this year, but because you were an alchemy prodigy, your learning of the Divine Power Pill was incredibly fast. You began to gradually grasp the basics of the Divine Power Pill.]
[In the sixteenth year, you continued to cultivate, and the spiritual energy in your body became increasingly substantial. You felt that you were getting closer and closer to Nascent Soul stage perfection.]
[This year, Luo Shuyying's hometown was conquered by foreign races, and thousands of Spirit Tribe members arrived on Blue Star in the Daxia Kingdom, joining the battlefield at Zhenyao Pass to jointly resist the invasion of the foreign races.]
[In the seventeenth year, another dull year of cultivation. Your cultivation remained at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage.]
[In the eighteenth year, after several years of refining, your Divine Power Vines were depleted. Even with the addition of your alchemy prodigy talent, you only barely managed to refine some substandard Divine Power Pills. Your refinement of the Divine Power Pill barely reached the entry level.]
[But you didn't choose to consume the substandard Divine Power Pills because you were still not satisfied with your current strength at the Yuanwu Realm. You believed that your strength could be further enhanced, so you were unwilling to do anything that would drain your potential.]
[But the Divine Power Pills were hard-earned, and you didn't want to waste them. So, you gave the dozens of Divine Power Pills you had refined to the Daxia military, hoping to contribute some strength to humanity.]
[In the nineteenth year, you were still at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, but you felt that you were getting closer and closer to Nascent Soul stage perfection.]
[In the twentieth year, to your surprise, the Divine Power Pills actually had a significant effect on Heavenly King-level experts. The Divine Power Pills you gave were distributed to three Heavenly King-level experts, and unexpectedly, after consuming them, one of the Heavenly King-level experts successfully advanced and became a Martial Emperor-level expert.]
Su Xing's heart was filled with joy upon seeing this. He didn't expect to discover another pill that could help human professionals improve their strength.
"Divine Power Pills, which can enhance the strength of Heavenly King-level experts, should be of great help to power-type professionals. After consuming them, their strength is further enhanced, allowing them to break through to the Martial Emperor-level expert, right?"
Su Xing muttered to himself softly.
This was definitely good news for him, as it meant that Su Xing officially had the ability to help humanity create Martial Emperor-level experts.
Although Su Xing hadn't yet mastered the refinement of the Divine Power Pill and the number of Divine Power Vines was limited, and the pills he refined were still for his own consumption.
But when Su Xing no longer needed the Divine Power Pills, he could completely use them to enhance the strength of Heavenly King-level experts and thus create Martial Emperor-level experts.
Even if he only created a dozen Martial Emperor-level experts, their role on the battlefield might be no less than that of hundreds of Heavenly King-level experts. At that time, humanity's strength would see another significant increase.
"This is indeed good news, but for now, let's focus on breaking through to the Divine Power Realm..."
Su Xing calmed himself down and turned his gaze back to the simulation panel.
[In the twenty-first year, you continued to cultivate diligently, and the spiritual energy in your body became even more substantial.]
[In the twenty-second year, humanity suffered a setback at Zhenyao Pass, and the situation at Zhenyao Pass became precarious.]
[You felt even more urgent, so you cultivated even harder.]
[In the twenty-third year, your cultivation finally broke through, and you became a Nascent Soul stage perfection cultivator!]
[After breaking through to Nascent Soul stage perfection, you felt that your strength improvement had reached a bottleneck. You decided to spend the last few years enjoying life.]
[In the twenty-fourth year, humanity suffered heavy casualties at Zhenyao Pass, and the pass was on the verge of collapse.]
[In the twenty-fifth year, Zhenyao Pass was completely breached, and hundreds of thousands of Daxia soldiers died within the pass.]
[In the same year, a monstrous beast descended and swallowed the entire Daxia Kingdom.]
[In the last second before death, you gave the monstrous beast the middle finger.]
[You died!]
[Your talent, "Unwilling to Die," activated...]
[Ding, this simulation is over!]
After the simulation ended, Su Xing let out a long breath.
No matter what, the purpose of this simulation was finally achieved – Nascent Soul stage perfection cultivation!
Only one more step to reach the Divine Transformation stage!
Thinking of this, Su Xing's face was filled with joy, and he muttered:
"Zong Laogou, you wait, your death is not far away..."
This Nascent Soul stage perfection cultivation was more difficult than Su Xing had imagined, perhaps due to the effect of the Demonic Emperor's blood essence. Su Xing didn't feel this strenuous during the Yuanwu Realm.
Su Xing closed his eyes and pondered, carefully summarizing and reviewing the experience of this simulation.
First, it was the Divine Power Pill and the breakthrough to the Divine Power Realm!
"With my current physical strength, it's far from reaching its limit. Before breaking through to the Divine Power Realm, I should further enhance my strength, so that I can maximize my potential..."
"With enough Demonic Emperor's blood essence, perhaps my strength can reach six million catties, or even higher..."
Su Xing's heart was filled with anticipation because the stronger his Yuanwu Realm strength, the greater the amplification he would receive when reaching the Divine Power Realm.
For every one million catties of strength increase, when reaching the Divine Power Realm perfection, the twenty-fold amplification would mean a difference of twenty million catties of strength!
It could be said that a slight difference leads to a huge gap!
"Secondly, after reaching Nascent Soul stage perfection, I must figure out this fourth-grade Nascent Soul matter, otherwise it may affect my future path..."
For Su Xing, time wasn't a problem. Even if it was an eighth-grade Nascent Soul or a sixteenth-grade Nascent Soul, it was just a matter of simulating a few more times.
The more solid his foundation, the further Su Xing's path could go in the future. After all, Su Xing's goal wasn't just the small Divine Transformation stage, but immortality!
Or even higher realms.
"This Alchemy Prodigy talent is also quite good. Although the bonus isn't revolutionary, it can improve my speed and success rate in alchemy... and it's very helpful in learning new pills, making it a good auxiliary talent!"
In his previous simulations, Su Xing didn't even reach the entry level in the refinement of the Divine Power Pill, but in this simulation, without triggering any enlightenment, he had already barely reached the entry level, which was quite good thanks to the talent.
Su Xing turned his gaze to the reward choices before him.
[Alchemy Prodigy]: Purple talent, price 1 million energy points.
[Nascent Soul Stage Perfection]: Qi Refinement cultivation, Nascent Soul ancestor, only one step away from entering the Divine Transformation Realm, price 3 million energy points.
[Twenty-Five Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, a small increase in learned pill experience, newly learned Mirror Pill (Minor Accomplishment), Divine Power Pill (Entry), price 1.5 million energy points.
[Grasp of the Small Spirit Gathering Formation Principle]: Price 5,000 energy points.
In this simulation, Su Xing's goal was clear – to break through to Nascent Soul stage perfection. Therefore, the reward options available to him were also quite tempting.
Looking at the four rewards before him, Su Xing didn't hesitate for a moment and said:
"I'll choose the Alchemy Prodigy talent and the Nascent Soul stage perfection cultivation!"
There was no need to think twice about the Alchemy Prodigy talent. This was a very beneficial talent. With this talent, Su Xing's alchemy would be much easier in the future. It was a must-choose.
Besides this, the only thing he might have hesitated about was the Alchemy Experience and the Nascent Soul stage perfection cultivation.
Su Xing had successfully reached the entry level in the refinement of the Divine Power Pill in this simulation, but it was probably still far from reaching the Minor Accomplishment level. Su Xing conservatively estimated that it would take two or three more simulations to reach the Minor Accomplishment level, which was the level that would be useful to him.
But Su Xing didn't plan on choosing Alchemy Experience.
Because it was too slow! What if Su Xing was lucky enough to trigger enlightenment next time, wouldn't he be able to directly gain Minor Accomplishment-level experience?
Even if not, Su Xing could learn several more pills, such as a few low-grade healing pills, and thus gain more alchemy experience at once, which would be more efficient.
Moreover, the improvement of cultivation in the late Nascent Soul stage was not easy, and Su Xing was unwilling to spend another twenty-five years breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
After Su Xing made his choice, he heard the simulation's prompt sound.
[You successfully obtained the Nascent Soul stage perfection cultivation, spending 3 million energy points. Remaining energy: 15,879,768 points.]
[You successfully obtained the purple talent, Alchemy Prodigy, spending 1 million energy points. Remaining energy: 14,871,527 points.]
After Su Xing made his choice, two mysterious forces landed on him.
Su Xing first felt that his alchemy thinking became much clearer, and looking at the alchemy furnace in the distance, he felt a sense of familiarity.
This was the purple talent, Alchemy Prodigy, taking effect.
The next second, a powerful breakthrough aura suddenly erupted from Su Xing's body.
