Chapter 113: Legendary Sword, Mo Bing!
"I'm about to break through!" This thought flashed through Su Xing's mind, and he quickly sat down to adjust his breathing.
Immediately afterward, Su Xing's aura surged dramatically.
Nascent Soul Seventh Level... Nascent Soul Eighth Level... Nascent Soul Ninth Level!
Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection!
In just one minute, Su Xing's momentum climbed three levels.
After his cultivation reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, Su Xing didn't rush to try out his new cultivation and magic power, but kept his eyes closed and meditated.
A quarter of an hour later, when Su Xing had fully familiarized himself with this power, he slowly opened his eyes and began to comprehend the improvement in his strength after the surge in cultivation.
Whoosh!
With a thought, a ball of flame appeared in Su Xing's hand, the very same Lihuo Technique.
Su Xing controlled the flames, making them jump and dance in his hand.
From a weak flame to a fierce blaze, Su Xing experimented continuously.
After a while, Su Xing put away the Lihuo Technique in satisfaction and muttered, "Not bad, after reaching the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, the abundance of spiritual energy in my body has increased by nearly double! And the quality of the spiritual energy has also improved!"
"Even if I maintain the Lihuo Technique, I won't feel tired for a whole day and night now..."
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction.
The improvement in cultivation, apart from the leap in strength, meant something even more important to Su Xing... He could refine pills more sustainably and efficiently!
After all, for Su Xing now, pill refining was the biggest use of his spiritual energy.
"Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection, this is the expected cultivation level... I just don't know how effective this Alchemy Prodigy talent is in practice."
After the simulation ended, Su Xing started his daily pill refining routine.
The path of cultivation is long and tedious, and Su Xing had to be patient, refining enough pills every week so that his strength could improve faster!
"Thinking back to more than half a year ago, I was just a Qi Refining cultivator, equivalent to a Bronze-level professional... I didn't expect that half a year later, I would directly become a Nascent Soul ancestor! I'm almost close to the strength of a Martial Emperor!"
While refining pills, Su Xing couldn't help but let his thoughts wander. The rapid increase in strength made him feel a little smug.
"Damn it! I didn't control the heat well, this batch of pills is going to be ruined!"
It wasn't until he saw the black mass in the pill furnace that Su Xing's face darkened.
He had mastered the refining of this Beauty Pill, but he didn't expect to be distracted today and still mess it up.
"Damn it, I really can't get complacent! Stay calm and don't get carried away, Su Xing!"
Su Xing chanted silently in his heart, giving himself a pep talk and adjusting his mentality.
Then he continued to refine pills.
In just one week, Su Xing refined nearly six thousand pills again!
This was the speed of pill refining that Su Xing could only achieve by working day and night before, but now Su Xing achieved it in just ten hours.
Efficiency had indeed improved a lot, so Su Xing had another two hours of leisure time.
As for sleep... For Su Xing, a Nascent Soul ancestor, he only needed to meditate for an hour a day to regain his energy.
Soon, a week passed.
Today, Su Xing was carrying the pills and was about to go to the villa where he usually met Jin Congxue, but he received a message from Jin Congxue in advance.
"Boss! Come early today, I have a big surprise for you! Do you want to guess what it is?"
Su Xing smiled slightly after seeing Jin Congxue's message and tried to reply, "Let me guess... Did you find the high-quality sword weapon I asked you to find for me last time?"
Jin Congxue: "... Damn, can you tell fortunes? How did you guess that?"
Su Xing: "Hehe! Do you want me to tell your fortune? Do you want to know about your love life or your career path?"
Jin Congxue: "Stop joking, come here quickly! Otherwise, I'll throw this sword away! (Rolling eyes.jpg)"
Su Xing replied a few more times and then hurried to the villa.
Fifteen minutes later, Su Xing arrived at the villa's room and saw Jin Congxue, dressed in a purple dress with light makeup.
Two words: Stunning!
As always, Su Xing and Jin Congxue had a meal first.
Then Jin Congxue mysteriously took out a sword case from her storage ring and handed it to Su Xing.
"Here, open it and take a look!"
Jin Congxue reminded him.
Su Xing couldn't wait to open the sword case and saw a sword as black as ink.
Su Xing took the sword out of the case and unsheathed it. He immediately felt an irrepressible throbbing in his heart.
It was as if this sword was made for him...
Su Xing held the sword in his hand and felt a coolness in his heart.
It wasn't the kind of uncomfortable chill, but a warmth that made him feel calm and comfortable.
"What a good sword!"
A glint flashed in Su Xing's eyes. With this sword in his hand, he seemed to be able to feel the sword's intentions, which gave him peace of mind.
Su Xing knew that it was his Sword Mania talent at work, allowing him to cooperate better with a sword.
Su Xing looked at the hilt of the sword and saw a dark black jade inlaid on it, with two cursive characters carved on the jade.
Mo Bing!
Su Xing was stunned when he saw these two words.
"This sword, is it Mo Bing?!"
Su Xing blurted out, forgetting about Jin Congxue beside him.
Jin Congxue curled her lips when she saw Su Xing's infatuated look and said, "Yes! Legendary weapon, Mo Bing! This is one of the few good sword weapons produced in dungeons!"
"Do you know how much effort I put into getting this weapon?"
Su Xing's mind was completely on the sword at this moment, and he didn't even hear Jin Congxue's words clearly.
Were there really such coincidences in this world?
This sword was the weapon Su Xing obtained in the previous dungeon simulation, worth tens of millions of energy points. But now, it had somehow returned to his hands...
Su Xing obtained this sword more than ten years earlier than in the simulation.
"Could it be, is this fate?"
Su Xing muttered softly.
At this moment, the Mo Bing in Su Xing's hand began to hum softly, as if welcoming its master.
"What a good sword!"
Su Xing held Mo Bing in his hand and swung it, feeling incredibly comfortable.
Su Xing's swordsmanship was originally practiced with this Mo Bing sword. Now that Mo Bing was in his hands, Su Xing didn't even need to get used to it. He could use it right away.
It was no exaggeration to say that this Mo Bing sword had increased Su Xing's strength by at least 30%!
Because "Minor Attainment in Man and Sword" was also one of Su Xing's biggest offensive strengths now.
Jin Congxue was also shocked when she saw the Mo Bing sword humming in Su Xing's hand. She said, "I didn't expect you to gain the recognition of this sword so quickly?"
"Even for those Swordsman professionals, it takes at least several years to gain the recognition of a sword... This is the first time I've seen someone so compatible with a sword!"
Su Xing raised his eyebrows after hearing this and asked in confusion, "Gain the recognition of a sword?"
Jin Congxue nodded slightly and said, "Divine swords have spirits! Although this Mo Bing is not a divine weapon, its Legendary quality is enough for it to give birth to a weak spiritual consciousness."
"And this spiritual consciousness will continue to grow as it interacts with its master..."
"A sword with spiritual consciousness will even choose its own master. If it doesn't like it, the sword in its hand will even guard against the swordsman. Therefore, whether the sword's personality is suitable is undoubtedly very important..."
After hearing Jin Congxue's words, Su Xing loved the Mo Bing in his hand even more. This legendary sword truly resonated with him.
Su Xing believed that this sword, in his hands, would definitely be able to unleash its strongest power.
After carrying the sword close to him, Su Xing started talking business with Jin Congxue.
He handed over the pills he had refined this week to Jin Congxue and received the new week's goods from her.
After Jin Congxue counted the pills, she said in surprise, "You refined another six thousand pills... Goodness, I really don't know how you did it!"
Su Xing smiled but didn't say anything. It was nothing special, just practice makes perfect.
Su Xing could multitask and refine two batches of pills at the same time, so his pill refining speed had already doubled. Coupled with the talent bonus, and the fact that he was refining low-grade pills.
He could only say, it was a piece of cake!
Jin Congxue put away the pills and then said to Su Xing, "By the way, there's some progress on the rare metal mine dungeon you asked me to apply for last time... The military happens to have two newly mined rare metal ores."
"Most of the dungeons applied for by ordinary chambers of commerce are secondary mining areas, that is, mining areas that have been mined by the government for decades and are no longer needed, so they can be left for civilian use..."
Su Xing frowned slightly after hearing Jin Congxue's words and asked in confusion, "Mined mining areas, can the quality of the rare metals still be guaranteed?"
Jin Congxue nodded and said, "Most of the mining areas circulated among chambers of commerce have been mined for hundreds of years. In this kind of dungeon, the production efficiency of rare metals is extremely low... But there are still profits, and even many chambers of commerce are eager for them."
"But these military mining areas that have just been mined for a few decades are different. Because they haven't been used for civilian purposes yet, the quantity of rare metals is actually quite abundant... This is already considered the top mining area that ordinary chambers of commerce can get."
"Of course, only first and second-tier rare metals can be mined from this mining area. Any higher-level ones... are already controlled by the government."
Su Xing nodded slightly.
He really didn't understand these things. If Su Xing wanted to obtain a large number of rare metals from high-level mining areas, he could perhaps contact the government and demonstrate his value. Then he would definitely be able to easily obtain high-level dungeon access.
But this way, although the speed of obtaining energy would soar, it would be too dangerous.
Referring to the assassination Su Xing encountered in the simulation, he already knew...
Before he had the absolute ability to protect himself, Su Xing would definitely not put himself in danger.
"In that case, I'll leave it to you... I don't know much about these things," Su Xing said.
Jin Congxue nodded and said, "Don't worry, things are basically settled. I have a very good relationship with the military!"
"It's just that the approval process is a bit troublesome. It's estimated to take at least four or five months, or even half a year..."
Su Xing nodded after hearing this and didn't say much, but he thought to himself: Damn, how could your relationship not be good? The Great Xia Martial Emperor, the general guarding the Demon Suppression Pass, is your grandfather...
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Jin Congxue, Su Xing returned to school and skillfully entered the Spiritual Land.
He first exchanged the equipment and dungeon items Jin Congxue gave him for energy.
This week's goods totaled 9.8 million simulation energy points.
Although it wasn't as much as last time, it wasn't a small amount for Su Xing either.
An average of 10 million energy points a week was enough for Su Xing, as long as he was frugal in the dungeon and didn't use immersive simulation.
Of course, if his cultivation reached the Deity Transformation stage or the Divine Power Realm, it might not be enough.
After all, by then, at the Nascent Soul stage, Su Xing would need millions of energy points to break through each level.
Then at the Deity Transformation stage, perhaps 10 million would only be enough to break through one level...
"Sigh, in the end, I still lack energy!"
"Now, I can only hope that Jin Congxue can apply for the mining rights of the dungeon as soon as possible..."
Su Xing said this and then opened the simulation panel.
In the afternoon of April 22, 2024, New Era, Su Xing started a new round of simulation on time.
"Start simulation!"
[Ding! This simulation consumes 3,300 energy points, remaining energy: 24,763,003 points, remaining simulation attempts: None.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Drawing a green talent costs 1,000 energy points, drawing a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 energy points. Do you want to draw?]
Although Su Xing had already anticipated the future shortage of simulation energy.
But as the saying goes, save where you can, spend where you must. This mere 100,000 energy point cost for drawing a purple talent was something Su Xing could still afford.
So Su Xing said without hesitation, "Draw a purple talent!"
Immediately, the simulator's prompt sounded in Su Xing's ears.
[Congratulations, you have obtained the purple talent: The Most Handsome Guy in the Crowd!]
[The Most Handsome Guy in the Crowd]: Purple talent, wherever you go, you are the center of attention. Even when walking on the street, the回头率 turn-around rate is 100%. No matter where you are, you will attract the attention of those around you. Of course, sometimes being too noticeable is not a good thing...
Su Xing frowned slightly after seeing this newly drawn talent.
The Most Handsome Guy in the Crowd, this seemed to be a conceptual talent.
Su Xing couldn't figure out what this thing was for at the moment, so he could only try it out in the simulation.
[In the Spiritual Land, you realize that you are in a simulation.]
[You take out a mirror and look at your face, finding that you are still as handsome as before, with no difference.]
[So you start refining pills as usual, preparing to hand over the next week's goods to Jin Congxue.]
[At this moment, the spirit chickens you raise in the chicken coop look at you and jump out of the chicken coop one after another, walking towards you, chirping as if they want to say something.]
[With your Level 10 Beast Language, you successfully hear the chickens' thoughts: Huh? This two-legged beast is so handsome! Did any chicken hear that? Come and take a look...]
[You are speechless after hearing the spirit chickens' conversation, and then you hurry to renovate the chicken coop again to prevent them from coming out to see you.]
[But in the following days, you attract attention wherever you go. Walking on campus, an old man riding a bicycle almost gets hit by a BMW because he's looking at you.]
[You even get blackmailed for this and have to pay 66,000!]
