Chapter 233: Various Forces in the Xia Qingyun Realm, the Secret of Awakening Discovered? (Two-in-One)
In the real world, Su Xing frowned slightly at the simulated text before him.
The selection of Blood Sprout (Xue Miao) gave Su Xing a sense of familiarity.
"That's right, in the Blood Demon Realm, the Blood Demon Sect's selection of cultivators... seems to be similar. Every few years, they engage in a brutal battle, and the outstanding individuals receive rewards and higher advancements!"
"However, the Blood Demon Sect does this to cultivate and collect Blood Spirit Liquid... but the Descending Sect's motives seem different..."
Su Xing pondered.
Based on the information he had gathered earlier,
he could roughly deduce that Blood Nineteen, Blood Twenty-three, and others were likely products of the Blood Sprout selection process.
And cultivators at their level had already become immortals!
If it were merely to cultivate Blood Spirit Gu and obtain liquid, it would be a foolish act!
Moreover, not all of those cultivators practiced the Blood Immortal Scripture; many had their own cultivation methods, cultivating genuine spiritual energy.
"From this perspective, the Descending Sect's purpose in doing this... should be to cultivate even stronger cultivators!"
"Through constant battles, using numbers to accumulate and quickly select geniuses..."
Su Xing nodded slightly.
This method was indeed faster than the usual cultivation methods of sects and forces, but the cost was much higher!
"It's because this Blood Sprout Competition requires a massive number of cultivators... that the Descending Sect establishes branches in various worlds, also with the purpose of selecting geniuses, right?"
Su Xing thought to himself, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[In just a moment, the cultivators around you began to fight, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of slightly weaker cultivators were brutally killed.]
[Roars, screams, the clash of weapons... the once peaceful scene instantly became bloody and brutal.]
[A Nascent Soul stage cultivator quietly approached you from behind. Without turning your head, you simply swung your sword and ended his life.]
[This is a massive melee of thousands of people. You see the cultivators who were initially getting along well in the valley suddenly attack each other. At this moment, they only have one thought in their minds.]
[Kill a cultivator, gain one point! Over a thousand points, and you can directly become a Blood Sprout!]
[You didn't rush to participate in the killing, but simply observed in secret.]
[You saw many weak cultivators fleeing towards the edge of the area before the competition began, seemingly hoping to survive.]
[And many powerful cultivators, in the blink of an eye, had killed dozens of cultivators, their bodies covered in blood.]
[Suddenly, a terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation came from the surroundings. This spiritual energy fluctuation almost made your heart tremble, and at the same time, your Auspicious Omen and Avoidance of Calamity talent triggered a warning.]
[You subconsciously activated your protective Qi and Yuanli Armor, then quickly moved away from your current location.]
[Just a few breaths later, terrifying black water, like a raging sea, descended from the sky towards the thousands of cultivators gathered together.]
[This terrifying black water, as if possessing a tremendous suction force, made it difficult to escape. As long as you touched even a little bit, you would be constantly pulled down...]
[In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Nascent Soul and Metamorphosis stage cultivators were swallowed by the black water. Only those with extremely high cultivation or quick reflexes managed to escape.]
[Because you received a warning in advance, you temporarily escaped this disaster. You looked up at the sky from afar and saw a familiar figure.]
[That figure was none other than the dull-witted man who had been imprisoned with you and eventually rescued.]
[Judging by the power of his technique and the terrifying aura emanating from him, he must be at least a Mahayana stage cultivator!]
[Moreover, this dull-witted man is not a newly ascended Mahayana cultivator. He's at least in the mid to late Mahayana stage!]
In the real world, Su Xing slightly opened his mouth, muttering:
"As expected, no one who can ascend from a small world to the Xia Qingyun Realm is easy to deal with!"
"That seemingly ordinary dull-witted man is actually a powerful Mahayana mid to late stage cultivator!"
Su Xing took a deep breath.
It must be known that cultivators who reach the Mahayana mid to late stage are definitely considered strong in the Xia Qingyun Realm.
According to the information Su Xing had gathered earlier, Mahayana mid to late stage cultivators were almost guaranteed to become Blood Sprouts.
"Tsk tsk, could this be the legendary 'playing dumb to deceive others' and 'suddenly rising to prominence'?"
Su Xing commented.
With just that one attack, this dull-witted man probably slaughtered hundreds or thousands of cultivators, enough to become a Blood Sprout!
Su Xing pondered.
"The rules of this Blood Sprout Competition aren't simply about encouraging slaughter. It's more like a process of eliminating the weak..."
"Each kill earns one point, but killing a cultivator who already has points doesn't grant you their points..."
"This means that killing a Nascent Soul cultivator and killing a Mahayana cultivator yield basically the same reward..."
Pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued along this line of thought.
"So, under normal circumstances, those participating in the Blood Sprout Competition will prioritize killing weaker cultivators. Unless absolutely necessary, they won't engage in a life-or-death struggle with opponents of similar strength..."
"But in a single Blood Sprout Competition, there are only about 30,000 participants, and killing one cultivator only earns one point, and you don't inherit their points... This means that the number of points will only decrease over time..."
"Even the top ten cultivators in the end might not have more than a thousand points..."
"Perhaps a score of seven or eight hundred, or even fewer points, could be enough to successfully advance to become a Blood Sprout!"
"The early stages are the easiest to gain points because there are more low-level cultivators... Later on, everyone is strong, and it will be incredibly difficult to gain a single point!"
Su Xing quickly understood the rules of the Blood Sprout Competition.
In short, it's a simple phrase: the early bird gets the worm!
"This time, I should strive to become a Blood Sprout. Then, I'll give it my all!"
A cold glint flashed in Su Xing's eyes. He had no mercy for these treacherous, evil cultivators!
He looked at the simulation panel.
[After the black water receded, the earth cracked, and over 800 cultivator corpses remained on the ground...]
[With just one attack, the dull-witted man killed over 800 cultivators!]
[At the same time, among the remaining thousands of cultivators, several powerful auras erupted. Two Mahayana early stage and one Integration stage peak cultivators unleashed their powers!]
[Seeing this, the dull-witted man flew into the air and quickly retreated.]
[And those few cultivators who had revealed themselves also used their abilities to begin frantically slaughtering the surrounding low-level cultivators.]
[Seeing this, you didn't hesitate. With a thought, a Qi vortex slowly formed in your hand, infused with one-tenth of your spiritual energy, and you casually threw out a Spirit Explosion Technique towards the densely populated area!]
[With just one Spirit Explosion Technique, you killed dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators.]
[Having achieved results, you no longer held back. In just a quarter of an hour, you consecutively launched six or seven Spirit Explosion Techniques, quickly killing nearly 400 cultivators.]
[The battle on the plains continued, with Metamorphosis and Nascent Soul cultivators almost the first cannon fodder to die in the chaos.]
[Gradually, the Void Returning and Void Breaking stage cultivators also began to falter...]
[You took advantage of the chaos, collecting many of these cultivators' storage pouches.]
[You used your divine sense to probe inside, quickly finding some spirit stones in the storage pouches. You activated the Myriad Flames Scripture and quickly replenished your depleted spiritual energy.]
[Soon, only a few hundred cultivators remained. Most of them were at the Void Returning late stage peak realm, along with dozens of Integration stage cultivators and two Mahayana stage cultivators.]
[Knowing that staying here would only lead to a fierce battle, you threw out a few more Spirit Explosion Techniques, killing some Void Returning cultivators before escaping.]
[The other cultivators did much the same, scattering in all directions to pursue weaker cultivators.]
[It was like a slaughter feast, with all the cultivators tacitly pursuing the weak and avoiding the strong.]
Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly, muttering:
"As expected, it's just as I thought... This so-called Blood Sprout Competition is just a chase for survival of the fittest..."
Su Xing muttered.
According to the information he had previously uncovered, those participating in the Blood Sprout Competition could only stay within that valley, which was located in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.
Even if they survived the Blood Sprout Competition and became a candidate for Blood Sprout, they still couldn't leave the valley.
They could only participate in the next Blood Sprout Competition until they became a true Blood Sprout and were allowed to leave the valley and become a core member of the Descending Sect!
"Since that's the case, I'll do my best to become a Blood Sprout and leave the valley to get in touch with the Xia Qingyun Realm!"
Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[You flew on your sword and quickly escaped the initial battlefield...]
[You calculated in your mind that in the previous battle, you had used the Spirit Explosion Technique to kill over 480 cultivators. This was a considerable number, but it wasn't enough to guarantee becoming a Blood Sprout!]
[So, you released your divine sense, preparing to search for the aura of low-level cultivators.]
[But then you frowned slightly. This world seemed to have a formation that greatly interfered with divine sense. Even though your soul was damaged, it shouldn't have reduced your original 200,000-zhang divine sense to a mere thousand-zhang range.]
[A thousand zhang, which means you can only sense the aura within three kilometers around you.]
[You quickly realized that this realm had a formation that weakened divine sense by 99%. This was to prevent top-tier powerhouses from participating and using their divine sense to slaughter all the cultivators at will.]
[After all, this didn't align with the Descending Sect's initial intention of cultivating Blood Sprouts...]
[And by weakening divine sense, it allowed powerful cultivators to pursue weaker ones while also preventing weaker cultivators from having nowhere to hide.]
[After sensing that your divine sense was weakened, you thought for a moment and took out a few copper coins to begin divination.]
[You performed several divinations in a row and roughly calculated that the north was less dangerous and had a larger number of weaker cultivators. So, you headed north to hunt down evil cultivators.]
[Sure enough, half an hour later, you encountered a group of Nascent Soul cultivators gathered together. The leader was only at the Void Returning realm.]
[Sticking together in the Blood Sprout Competition can indeed avoid risks to a certain extent, but you also need to be wary of your teammates potentially turning their blades on you at any moment.]
[You spotted the leader, a Void Returning cultivator, and he also noticed you. He then gave you a friendly smile and greeted you.]
[You were stunned. You never expected to meet an acquaintance again. This person was the sharp-tongued cellmate who had claimed to be a Xia Qingyun Realm cultivator and provided you with a lot of information.]
[Upon seeing you, this cellmate greeted you from afar, seemingly wanting to invite you to join his group.]
In the real world, Su Xing was amused.
"Wow, this treacherous cellmate is quite a talent! They're supposed to be fighting each other, but they're still forming alliances?"
Su Xing thought for a moment. He naturally wouldn't form an alliance with these weak evil cultivators. In fact, Su Xing had no intention of forming any alliances.
After all, the hidden blades behind them were far more dangerous than the threats in front of them.
"However, this cellmate is a native cultivator of the Xia Qingyun Realm... If I were to perform Soul Searching on him, I might be able to get a lot of useful information?"
Su Xing pondered, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[You looked at the dozens of cultivators in front of you and walked towards them with a smile.]
[The next second, you threw out a Spirit Explosion Technique, and dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators were blown to smithereens.]
[Seeing you suddenly attack, this talented cellmate was shocked. He used his techniques to try to escape.]
[But how could a mere Void Returning cultivator be your opponent? You directly destroyed his cultivation.]
[Then, you performed Soul Searching on him.]
In the real world, Su Xing nodded.
"Use Immersion Mode... Duration: one hour!"
[Ding, you have successfully used Immersion Mode... Remaining Energy: 1,308,000,000 points.]
The next second, Su Xing appeared at the location of the simulation, holding a sharp-nosed and monkey-faced cultivator in his hand.
Without hesitation, Su Xing directly used Soul Searching.
...
Soon, the Immersion Mode simulation time ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world.
After opening his eyes again, Su Xing's eyes held a look of astonishment.
"So that's how it is, Xia Qingyun Realm... it's actually a place like this?"
Su Xing was a little surprised. Although the information obtained from this talented cellmate's mind wasn't much, Su Xing had gained some understanding of the division and situation of forces in the Xia Qingyun Realm.
Contrary to Su Xing's initial thoughts, the Xia Qingyun Realm was not entirely under the control of the Qingyun Sect!
Or rather, the Xia Qingyun Realm was once a small thousand world under the Qingyun Sect's control.
But over tens of thousands of years, with the continuous battles between the alien races and humans, the number of thousand worlds occupied by the alien races increased, and the Xia Qingyun Realm was also affected.
Therefore, the Qingyun Sect was forced to abandon most of its forces in the Xia Qingyun Realm.
Currently, the Xia Qingyun Realm was a chaotic zone where multiple forces were vying for control.
The larger forces included the Heavenly Demon Prison, the Qingyun Sect, the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion, the White Emperor Tower... and the Descending Sect!
Outside the Xia Qingyun Realm, the invasion of alien races and demonic beasts was becoming increasingly severe. In recent years, it had gradually reached the point where it was difficult to defend.
Within the Xia Qingyun Realm, the various forces were also fighting among themselves. Thousands of years ago, the Heavenly Demon Prison and the Qingyun Sect fought over a chance encounter, resulting in the deaths of core disciples, leading to a bitter feud between the two forces.
The Descending Sect, due to the alien invasion of this realm, had gradually risen in power in the Xia Qingyun Realm in recent years. They no longer hid in the shadows but occasionally launched attacks on the other four forces.
Su Xing closed his eyes slightly and continued to search his memories.
"From this perspective, the Descending Sect is actually on the opposite side of the Heavenly Demon Prison, the Qingyun Sect, the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion, and the White Emperor Tower. They are the so-called treacherous forces!"
"Although the Heavenly Demon Prison and the Qingyun Sect both resist the alien races and combat the Descending Sect, they have a grudge against each other."
"The Heavenly Demon Prison is almost entirely populated by a group of battle-hungry, fanatic cultivators..."
"The Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion is neutral... They are a top-tier force among the three thousand worlds. I heard about them during the Heavenly Mandate Conference instance before."
"The White Emperor Tower is an alliance of scattered cultivators in the three thousand worlds, founded by the powerful cultivator White Emperor. They are also fighting hard against the alien races..."
In Su Xing's mind, the five major forces of the Xia Qingyun Realm gradually took shape.
Then, Su Xing felt a headache coming on, muttering:
"I originally planned to carry the Qingyun Token with me during the next simulation, which should allow me to escape the Heavenly Demon Prison..."
"But now it seems that if I show the Qingyun Token, I'll probably die even faster!"
Su Xing sighed helplessly. It seemed that his plan to enter the Qingyun Sect as soon as possible couldn't be carried out for the time being. He could only take things one step at a time within the Descending Sect...
Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[Due to your soul damage, Soul Searching was difficult to perform.]
[But even so, you still obtained crucial information about the Xia Qingyun Realm from his mind.]
[The Heavenly Demon Prison and the Qingyun Sect are hostile forces, which is somewhat unfavorable to you.]
[But you can't worry about that now. You can only first find a way to obtain the Blood Sprout position in this simulation.]
[So, for the next three days, you used your Auspicious Omen and Avoidance of Calamity and Lucky Star talents to avoid the pursuit of high-level cultivators and killed many cultivators weaker than you.]
[After three days, your points reached nearly 800. This score was enough to become a Blood Sprout!]
[Soon, the three-day Blood Sprout Competition ended, and powerful cultivators descended upon this realm.]
[Over ten powerful cultivators with terrifying auras, like bottomless abysses, descended and declared the end of the Blood Sprout Competition.]
[Among them was Blood Nineteen, whom you had encountered before.]
[Soon, the rankings of the Blood Sprout Competition were announced.]
[The dull-witted cultivator became the first place in this Blood Sprout Competition, achieving over 1,300 points!]
[And you, with over 700 points, became seventh place in the Blood Sprout Competition and successfully became a Blood Sprout.]
[Including you, a total of ten Blood Sprouts were successfully born!]
[Blood Nineteen looked at you and the dull-witted cultivator in surprise, obviously not expecting that he had saved two Blood Sprouts a month ago.]
[And the alluring woman known as Blood Twenty-three also excitedly patted her full chest, muttering about no longer having to face punishment.]
[But what surprised you was that the Blood Sprout Competition didn't end there.]
[Soon, a short, ordinary-looking man stepped forward and announced the beginning of the final candidate challenge.]
[Although this short man had an ordinary appearance, you didn't dare to underestimate him in the slightest because his designation was Blood Sixteen!]
[And based on your guess, the earlier the designation, the more terrifying the individual's strength!]
[You quickly understood what the final challenge was.]
[It turned out that in every Blood Sprout Competition, not only Blood Sprouts survived, but also some other cultivators skilled at survival.]
[They were quite powerful, but not strong enough to reach the level of Blood Sprout. They were called Blood Sprout Candidates.]
[Blood Sprout Candidates would also receive rewards, but after a maximum of three consecutive competitions, they had to become Blood Sprouts. Otherwise, they would be forcibly challenged by a Blood Sprout!]
[The winner becomes a Blood Sprout, and the loser dies!]
Su Xing saw this and quickly understood the purpose of this rule.
"Tsk tsk... This is to prevent some people who are good at survival techniques from hiding and obtaining resources in every Blood Sprout Competition... making themselves comfortable..."
"This is to ensure that these Blood Sprout Candidates always maintain a sense of crisis!"
Undeniably, this rule could indeed prevent some cultivators from slacking off and coasting.
Because after a maximum of nine years, they would have to challenge a Blood Sprout, either to live or die...
He looked at the simulation panel.
[Soon, the final Blood Sprout challenge began.]
[Your opponent was an Integration early stage cultivator who had participated in the Blood Sprout Competition three times and survived each time. He was quite powerful...]
[Although your injuries hadn't fully healed, relying on your swordsmanship, you defeated him in less than a hundred rounds.]
[You successfully advanced to become a Blood Sprout.]
[Soon, the final ten Blood Sprouts of this Blood Sprout Competition were selected...]
[Under the guidance of these powerful cultivators, you left this world.]
[Soon, you entered a bustling city...]
[This city was undoubtedly located in the Xia Qingyun Realm and seemed to be the territory of the Descending Sect!]
[The city had a large population, with millions of cultivators, all of whom were evil cultivators...]
[The weakest of these cultivators were only at the Golden Core realm, while the strongest were beyond your comprehension.]
[Under the leadership of Blood Twenty-three, you paraded through the city. The cultivators on the streets all stepped aside, their faces showing a look of reverence.]
[There were even beautiful and unrestrained female evil cultivators who threw flirtatious glances at you.]
[You pondered, understanding that the treatment of Blood Sprouts in this city was extremely high!]
[Blood Twenty-three soon brought you to the most luxurious restaurant in the city.]
[In the most luxurious private room, beauties, wine, delicacies, and mountain treasures had already been prepared for you...]
[You didn't care about the beauties and wine, but you were surprised by the delicacies.]
[Because these delicacies were actually the flesh of spirit beasts. You even recognized one of the main dishes: it was cooked from a Mahayana stage Jiao Dragon demonic beast!]
[Every bite of Jiao Dragon meat you swallowed made your blood surge. The pure essence of the flesh and blood nourished your spiritual energy and even improved your physical body realm.]
[So, while the other Blood Sprouts were drinking toasting cups with the beauties, you simply buried your head in your food.]
[Seeing this, the dull-witted man beside you rarely showed a smile and said: "In the future, we're all Blood Sprouts. Let's take care of each other... After the assessment, we'll be able to live a life of luxury!"]
[Hearing the dull-witted man's words, you were stunned. Assessment? What assessment?]
[You quickly asked your question.]
[The dull-witted man told you that Blood Sprouts would undergo a comprehensive assessment of their bone age, aptitude, cultivation methods, combat skills, and divine abilities...]
[This would allow them to develop the most suitable cultivation methods for each Blood Sprout... After all, almost all Blood Sprouts were previously scattered cultivators or cultivators who ascended from small worlds, lacking a foundation.]
[Hearing the dull-witted man's words, the other Blood Sprouts also showed anticipation. Obviously, the allocation of resources after this assessment was a great opportunity for them!]
[These Blood Sprouts could all obtain cultivation methods, divine abilities, and even spirit pills that suited them!]
[Only you, after hearing the dull-witted man's words, were completely flustered...]
In the real world, Su Xing was so angry that he started slapping his thighs.
"Damn it, you're selecting Blood Sprouts, fine! Why do you need to check aptitude and age?"
"Now I'm doomed..."
Su Xing sighed, knowing that the Descending Sect's actions were within reason.
Becoming a Blood Sprout meant becoming a core disciple of the Descending Sect, so they would naturally cultivate them vigorously... Besides, there was also the possibility of weeding out spies!
"In the simulation, I'm only in my forties!"
"At forty years old, with a three-attribute mutated Heaven Spirit Root aptitude... and becoming a Metamorphosis stage powerhouse, they'll definitely drag me off for dissection!"
Su Xing felt helpless.
Even with a Heaven Spirit Root, achieving the Metamorphosis stage at 200 years old was considered an incredible stroke of luck.
Su Xing's speed was indeed beyond the norm, easily attracting scrutiny.
"Sigh, all I can do now is pray that after the Descending Sect learns about my aptitude and age, they'll cultivate me with great effort instead!"
Su Xing thought to himself, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[Soon, the mountain delicacies were finished.]
[Everyone ate very well, except for you...]
[Soon, Blood Twenty-three returned and took you to a secret chamber in the basement of the restaurant for aptitude testing.]
[During the process, you tried to escape, but after weighing the difference in strength, you gave up...]
[Soon, the other nine Blood Sprouts placed their hands on the aptitude testing stone.]
[To your surprise, the dull-witted cultivator from the Black Water Realm actually had a Super Spirit Root aptitude!]
[Super Spirit Root is a level beyond Heaven Spirit Root. Perhaps in that small realm, it would take a thousand years to produce such a genius.]
[Apart from the dull-witted cultivator, the other cultivators all had aptitudes ranging from Heaven Spirit Root to True Spirit Root.]
[Finally, everyone's eyes turned to you. Although you were reluctant, you still stepped forward to test your aptitude.]
[Three-colored light erupted from the testing stone. Without a doubt, it was a three-attribute mutated Heaven Spirit Root—Wood, Fire, and Thunder!]
[Among the ten Blood Sprouts, you had the second-best Spirit Root aptitude, and Blood Twenty-three looked at you a little longer.]
[But then, it was time to test age.]
[You silently stood at the back of the crowd, hoping to find a chance to escape.]
[But unexpectedly, the dull-witted cultivator also came closer to you, seemingly wanting to chat.]
[At this moment, you had no interest in replying. Your mind was entirely focused on what to do next.]
[Soon, the first eight cultivators' aptitude and age tests were completed.]
[The oldest Mahayana cultivator was over 1,800 years old, while the youngest Integration mid-stage cultivator was over 600 years old.]
[Blood Twenty-three turned her gaze to you and the dull-witted man.]
[The dull-witted man stepped forward and placed his hand on the age-testing stone tablet.]
[The stone tablet displayed 972 years old!]
[Then, everyone looked at this dull-witted cultivator in surprise, and he felt a little proud.]
[To become a Mahayana stage cultivator before a thousand years old, not to mention in a small world, even in a great thousand world, would be considered an absolute genius!]
[Then, the dull-witted man turned his head and gave you a self-proclaimed friendly look, gesturing for you to go ahead.]
[Looking at Blood Twenty-three staring intently at you, you knew you had no way out. So, you reached out and placed your hand on the age-testing stone tablet.]
[After a few breaths, a line of words slowly appeared on the stone tablet: Age: 48 years old...]
[Upon seeing these words, everyone fell silent, looking at you with a look of horror.]
[Even the expressionless man looked at you with a strange expression.]
[He muttered: "How is that possible? When I became a Metamorphosis stage cultivator, I was over 200 years old... How can a mere mutated Heaven Spirit Root cultivate this fast?"]
[That's right. Including Blood Twenty-three and all the Blood Sprouts, they all knew this basic common sense.]
[Even in a great thousand world, in the top immortal sects and holy lands, the most talented immortal seeds would take at least 60 to 70 years to cultivate to the Metamorphosis stage.]
[This cultivation speed is built upon a natural immortal body, possessing a Void Spirit Root far superior to a Heaven Spirit Root... and countless heaven-grade treasures piled up...]
[These Blood Sprouts began to suspect your origins, wondering if you were a spy sent by an immortal sect.]
[But Blood Twenty-three knew your origins very well. You were just an ordinary cultivator who ascended from a small world. How could you have such a terrifying cultivation speed?]
[There must be a shocking secret behind this! You must have obtained a shocking opportunity!]
[Blood Twenty-three made a decisive decision. She told the other Blood Sprouts to wait and then captured you, taking you to another part of the city.]
[Soon, you saw Blood Sixteen, Blood Nineteen, and others...]
[To prevent any problems with the testing, they performed a comprehensive re-examination of your aptitude, age, cultivation, etc.]
[But no matter what, you were a three-attribute mutated Heaven Spirit Root, with Metamorphosis stage cultivation and Void Breaking peak physical body cultivation... and your age was still 48 years old!]
[In the end, after their discussion, they couldn't decide what to do with you, so they reported it to the higher-level Blood Nine!]
[A few days later, someone tore through space and arrived at your heavily guarded room.]
[The person who arrived was Blood Nine, along with Blood Three, whom you had met before.]
[Blood Three and Blood Nine looked at you with strange expressions. Then, they inexplicably said a few words: "Little guy, are you from that place? Haha, what a great opportunity! Since that's the case, let's perform Soul Searching!"]
[Blood Nine reached out to grab you, and you didn't resist. You fell into a coma.]
[Blood Nine searched your soul... The simulator automatically shielded the relevant information...]
[After searching your soul for a long time, they still didn't get the answers they wanted.]
[And you, through repeated Soul Searching, your soul was annihilated...]
[You died!]
[Your talent, 'Unwilling to Die,' activated!]
[You barely heard a few sentences from their conversation through lip reading:]
["How is that possible? Why can't we find that thing in his soul memories?"]
["I don't know, but this little guy is indeed from that realm! The realm that Blood Moon is watching!"]
["But it's been several Eons... Even if it's that kind of item, it should have been eroded by time!"]
["Perhaps that thing is a treasure that even Blood Immortal Lord covets! Maybe it has the ability to shield against Soul Searching?"]
["Luo Tian..."]
[They quickly left your field of vision...]
[Ding, this simulation is over!]
After the simulation ended, Su Xing's eyes were filled with immense astonishment.
"What the hell? What realm... What exactly is Earth? Besides having the Blood Moon... why is it causing such a commotion?"
Pausing for a moment, Su Xing looked at the last two words.
"Luo Tian..."
"Could it be the Luo Tian Sect? Could there be some hidden secret within the Luo Tian Sect!?"
Su Xing took a deep breath. From the information he obtained through 'Unwilling to Die,'
Blood Three and Blood Nine were looking for something related to Luo Tian...
But the only thing Su Xing had encountered that was related to Luo Tian was the Heavenly Mandate Conference instance!
"So... does the Heavenly Mandate Conference instance hide some undiscovered shocking secret!?"
Su Xing took a deep breath.
His understanding of the Heavenly Mandate Conference instance was limited to it being an "experience instance," and it was only useful for the Cultivation profession...
To enter the Heavenly Mandate Conference instance, there was one requirement: you had to be a professional!
But among the professionals, only Su Xing was a Cultivation professional...
This meant that only Su Xing could explore the secrets of the Heavenly Mandate Conference!
"The Heavenly Mandate Conference instance... It will disappear in only two years. I must explore it further!"
Su Xing's eyes were filled with intense excitement.
What other surprises would the Heavenly Mandate Conference instance bring to Su Xing? What shocking secrets did it contain?
"It should refer to the Luo Tian Sect... On Earth, besides professionals having the ability to level up and improve their strength through killing, there doesn't seem to be any other secrets..."
Su Xing thought to himself.
"Also, in the Blood Sprout Competition, performing exceptionally well and becoming a Blood Sprout actually doesn't lead to a long life..."
"But if you just aim to survive and become a Blood Sprout Candidate, it might extend the simulation time to some extent..."
Su Xing pondered.
No matter what, this simulation, leaving Earth and coming into contact with the Three Thousand Worlds, was a huge improvement for Su Xing!
The simulation had more possibilities, and Su Xing could obtain resources from the Xia Qingyun Realm to further enhance his strength!
"But for now... I should choose the rewards for this simulation!"
Su Xing muttered, his gaze falling on the simulation reward list.
[Indomitable Will]:Golden talent, price: 10,000,000 energy points.
[Twenty Years of Alchemy Experience]:After exchange, existing alchemy comprehension will slightly increase, price: 2,000,000 energy points.
[Metamorphosis Stage Triple Realm]:Metamorphosis early stage cultivator, senses the rudimentary form of the Dao, comprehends the power of origin... price: 1,000,000,000 energy points.
[Myriad Flames Scripture Comprehension (Seventh Layer)]:Heaven-rank top-grade cultivation method, can be cultivated to the Immortal realm, further improves the speed at which cultivators absorb spiritual energy and convert it into cultivation. Price: 300,000,000 energy points.
"Although Metamorphosis stage cultivation is what I'm pursuing... but only by learning the Myriad Flames Scripture can I go further and further improve my cultivation speed!"
Su Xing muttered. He wasn't struggling with the simulation rewards this time.
The Myriad Flames Scripture and the newly drawn Golden talent, 'Indomitable Will,' were naturally must-haves.
"But the problem is, the 10 million energy points to exchange for the Golden talent aren't expensive... but the 1 billion energy points to expand the talent slots will be a killer!"
Su Xing sighed, preparing to see if there were any talents that could be replaced.
But after thinking it over, Su Xing's various talents all had their uses.
Even the originally useless 'Unwilling to Die' could provide great help to Su Xing after entering the Three Thousand Worlds.
"Fine... then I'll spend the energy to expand the talent slots!"
[Ding, do you want to spend 1 billion energy points to expand the talent slots?]
"Yes!" Su Xing said with a touch of pain.
Then, Su Xing's simulation energy rapidly decreased, leaving only 308,000,000 energy points.
It wasn't even enough to exchange for the Myriad Flames Scripture plus the Golden quality talent...
With no other choice, Su Xing could only pick and choose, selecting some of the items from Elder Dog's inheritance that he didn't need and exchanging them for a few million simulation energy points.
"I choose to take out the Golden talent, 'Indomitable Will'... and the 'Myriad Flames Scripture Comprehension'!"
[You have successfully taken out the Golden talent, 'Indomitable Will,' spending 10,000,000 energy points. Remaining energy: 302,833,000 points.]
[You have successfully taken out the 'Myriad Flames Scripture Comprehension,' spending 300,000,000 energy points. Remaining energy: 2,833,000 points.]
The simulator prompt sounded, and mysterious energy surged into Su Xing's body.
A segment of memory related to cultivating the Myriad Flames Scripture appeared in his mind.
In just a moment, Su Xing's comprehension of the Myriad Flames Scripture reached the seventh layer.
"Not bad... From now on, I can use the Myriad Flames Scripture to cultivate, and I won't have to worry about not being able to break through until I reach the Immortal realm..."
Su Xing nodded with satisfaction, then suddenly remembered something.
"Wan Mu Zhenren still has a Wan Mu Scripture. When I have time, I can get it..."
Although awakening the spirit vein dragon would attract Elder Dog's attention, simply killing Wan Mu Zhenren shouldn't cause any problems.
But Su Xing had now comprehended the Puppet Dao. What he wanted was to refine Wan Mu Zhenren into a puppet from a living dead man...
At that time, Su Xing would have a powerful combat force and could also have Wan Mu Zhenren refine high-level pills!
"It's a pity that my current strength can kill Wan Mu Zhenren, but it's difficult to ensure the integrity of his physical body while killing him..."
"I'll kill him when my strength improves further!"
Su Xing thought to himself, but then he looked at his remaining simulation energy and felt a little troubled.
"2,880,000 simulation energy points... tsk tsk, unprecedented poverty!"
Su Xing calculated briefly.
"In a week, I should be able to exchange 50,000辟谷 pills for a second-order exotic metal mine area. But even then, the Tarot Society only provides 200 million energy points per week, which is still too little for me now!"
Su Xing shook his head slightly, suddenly thinking of the Hundred Miles Trading Company.
"Speaking of which, it's been over two months since I've been to the Hundred Miles Trading Company. I should be able to get a lot of energy from there, right?"
Su Xing acted immediately. He disguised himself, concealed his aura, and shielded his heavenly secrets before flying towards the Hundred Miles Manor.
After obtaining the storage ring, Su Xing immediately exchanged it for simulation energy.
In this way, Su Xing's simulation energy reached 550 million!
After doing all this, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven and began a new week of puppet refinement.
This time, Su Xing's comprehension of the Puppet Dao had deepened, so he refined three puppets in a week.
Su Xing named them Dan Qi, Dan Ba, and Dan Jiu...
These were all alchemy puppets, and each week, they could refine nearly 6,000辟谷 pills for Su Xing!
This was already completely comparable to Su Xing's own refining speed...
Until January 13th, Su Xing suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead, saying:
"Damn it, I was so busy this month that I forgot. I didn't meet with Luo Shuying..."
"But I also said before that if she didn't come, she could leave on her own. It should be fine..."
Su Xing muttered.
Then, he disguised himself, concealed his aura, and prepared to go to the villa area to meet Jin Congxue.
The two of them ate and chatted.
When they were almost finished eating, Su Xing took out 50,000 pills and handed them to Jin Congxue.
Jin Congxue also said that she would leave immediately, and within two days, the Tarot Society's industries would have a new second-order exotic metal mine area instance.
Taking the new week's goods, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
This week's goods were still 150 million energy points, bringing Su Xing's total energy to 700 million!
"700 million energy points... it still seems a little insufficient!"
Su Xing shook his head slightly.
"To reach the Metamorphosis realm and rapidly improve my strength, I'll need at least 10 billion energy points in the next two or three months!"
"Relying solely on the Tarot Society's slow and steady income won't be enough..."
Pausing for a moment, Su Xing muttered:
"It seems I need to further strengthen my trading range with the military and major trading companies to obtain more energy..."
Su Xing pondered and decided to implement a new plan.
"But before that, I should simulate it again to avoid any accidents!"
Author's Note: Some readers may not understand the rules of this competition. For example, suppose there are 50 Mahayana stage cultivators, and each one kills 500 low-level cultivators. Then, these 50 people have 500 points. Even if these 50 Mahayana cultivators kill each other, they can only get one point and cannot inherit the points.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, they won't fight each other. Instead, they will kill low-level cultivators. And in the final competition, very few people will accumulate 1,000 points. It's possible that 1,000 points will make you a Blood Sprout, and 500 points might also make you a Blood Sprout.
That's roughly how it works...
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 234: A New Round of Simulation, Su Xing's Goal! (5k)
January 13th, New Era 2025, Su Xing promptly initiated a new round of simulation.
This simulation had clear objectives for Su Xing.
Firstly, find a way to obtain more energy-rich materials.
Secondly, explore the Luo Tian Grand Assembly further to see if he could uncover new clues.
Thirdly, reach Xiao Qingyun Realm, explore more information about it, and search for cultivation resources that would benefit him.
Su Xing recorded his plan in a small notebook, then muttered:
"Begin simulation!"
[Ding! This simulation will consume 7000 energy points. Remaining energy: 700,058,000 points. Remaining simulation attempts: Unlimited. ]
[Simulation starting!]
[Spending 100,000 energy points to draw a purple talent, or 1,000,000 energy points to draw a golden legendary talent. Do you wish to proceed?]
Su Xing didn't hesitate, silently saying:
"Draw a golden quality talent!"
[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the purple talent 'Hua Tuo Reincarnated'. The next chance to draw a golden quality talent is 20%...]
[Hua Tuo Reincarnated]: Purple talent. You have a knack for treating injuries. Even the most challenging external wounds can be resolved under your care. The effectiveness of healing-type pills you refine increases by 50%. (Ps: What? Don't immortals just cure illnesses with a puff of magical breath?)
Su Xing saw the newly drawn purple quality talent without any surprise.
A 10% chance, given the simulator's gacha luck, it would be a miracle to actually get it.
"However... this seems to be a divine doctor type of talent?"
Su Xing nodded slightly. Strictly speaking, the effect of this talent was indeed quite good, especially the enhancement of healing pill effects.
But for Su Xing at this stage, its usefulness was still somewhat limited.
"Let's simulate it first..."
Su Xing was eager to see, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[Within the Spiritual Field Cave Heaven, you realize you are in a simulation.]
[You take out your alchemy furnace and begin refining pills.]
[You spend a day refining several batches of Nourishing Yuan Pills and Forging Viscera Pills.]
[You inquire about Lu Yuanwu's whereabouts in advance, then, after disguising and concealing your aura, you find Lu Yuanwu.]
[Lu Yuanwu doesn't recognize you, so he harbors a degree of hostility towards you.]
[You don't hesitate and directly abduct Lu Yuanwu.]
[Despite being a formidable Martial Emperor, Lu Yuanwu is like a chick in your hands, unable to resist. He is extremely shocked by your strength.]
[You bind Lu Yuanwu to a deserted mountain. Although slightly apprehensive, Lu Yuanwu still inquires about your identity and the reason for his kidnapping.]
[He suspects you are from the Descending Sect, but is unsure of your purpose.]
[You don't answer, instead, you take out a bottle of Nourishing Yuan Pills and a bottle of Forging Viscera Pills.]
[You hand the two bottles of pills to Lu Yuanwu, telling him you are looking for someone to test the effects of these two pills, and that the Daxia military must not know about it.]
[Lu Yuanwu takes the pills with confusion.]
[You don't elaborate further, simply mentioning that you have many of these pills. If Lu Yuanwu is interested in cooperating, they should meet at this location a month later.]
[Having said that, you leave the mountain.]
[After leaving the mountain, you disguise and conceal your aura along the way, restoring your original appearance, then enter the Luo Tian Grand Assembly instance.]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and silently said:
"Use the immersive simulation function, duration 24 hours!"
[You have successfully used the immersive... Remaining energy: 700,249,000 points.]
With the simulator's prompt, Su Xing immediately entered the Luo Tian Grand Assembly instance.
"Good disciple, go to the back mountain and invite your Shen Nong senior brother over..."
Before Su Xing, an old man with a youthful face and snow-white hair spoke with a smile.
This was Luo Tian Sect's Supreme Elder, Luo Song.
A Scattered Immortal who had survived the Heavenly Tribulation! His cultivation was profound and unfathomable.
Since breaking through to the Unity Stage, Su Xing's status within Luo Tian Sect had become a Second-Class Divine Seed.
During Su Xing's previous immersive simulations, this Supreme Elder had already become Su Xing's master.
But aside from his high cultivation, Su Xing hadn't found any other differences.
For Su Xing, whether it was Niu Rulie or the Luo Tian Sect Sect Master... or the current Luo Song, they all seemed to be mere tools for assigning tasks.
"As you command, Master!"
Su Xing responded, then went to the back mountain to invite Shen Nong Youtian, smoothly going through the task process.
After doing all this, Su Xing didn't rush to the Scripture Pavilion, but instead began exploring within Luo Tian Sect.
Su Xing flew on his sword at a thousand meters altitude, looking down.
"The scope of Luo Tian Sect's influence is simply too vast... Hundreds of thousands of miles in every direction seem to fall under Luo Tian Sect's jurisdiction."
Pausing, Su Xing muttered.
"This realm is called Luo Tian Realm, with countless large and small immortal cultivation sects within, all led by Luo Tian Sect..."
"Just the location of Luo Tian Sect's mountain gate is as vast as a city!"
"And besides the back mountain, the sect's main hall, the refining room, the alchemy room, the Scripture Pavilion... there are also the residences of various disciples, the secluded cultivation places of various elders, and the cave heavens and blessed lands where the core figures of the sect reside..."
"If I were to search every single one, I don't know how long it would take..."
Su Xing sighed.
From the information he had obtained before, Xue San and Xue Jiu were almost certain that there was a huge secret related to Luo Tian.
And Su Xing guessed that it might be a treasure?
So Su Xing planned to search within Luo Tian Sect's mountain gate to see if he could find it.
Soon, half a day passed, and Su Xing's divine sense had searched almost every corner of Luo Tian Sect's mountain gate.
Except for the secluded cultivation places of some powerful cultivators and some forbidden areas that were inaccessible to his search.
But even so, Su Xing still didn't find the slightest trace of a great treasure.
"Sigh, this search is like looking for a needle in a haystack..."
Su Xing sighed slightly, preparing to use the remaining time to go to the Scripture Pavilion and learn puppetry from Ghost Granny.
...
"Little one, are you willing to help me with something next year at this time..."
Ghost Granny still used the same familiar lines.
But Su Xing had a sudden flash of inspiration and asked:
"Senior, what exactly is the favor? Can you give me a hint in advance?"
Ghost Granny smiled after hearing this and said, "Your strength is still too low, you'll have to wait until next year..."
After hearing Ghost Granny's words, Su Xing's heart suddenly trembled, and a thought surged wildly.
"Could it be that the secret related to Luo Tian Sect is with this Ghost Granny!?"
"And the reason I can't access it now... is because my strength is too low!"
Su Xing seemed to have a sudden realization.
In the following time, Su Xing continued to learn puppetry from Ghost Granny as usual.
Soon, the immersive simulation time ended.
Su Xing returned to the real world.
"What exactly is the secret of Luo Tian Sect?"
"Even at the Unity Stage, I can't access it... For now, I can only improve my cultivation and then talk..."
Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[After leaving the Luo Tian Sect instance, you return to your Cave Heaven and continue refining pills.]
[A month later, you arrive at the mountain where you met Lu Yuanwu before.]
[You see Lu Yuanwu waiting there. You release your divine sense and find that besides Lu Yuanwu, no one else is secretly monitoring the area.]
[You secretly commend Lu Yuanwu for his frankness.]
[You appear and meet Lu Yuanwu.]
[As soon as Lu Yuanwu sees you, his face turns red, his emotions agitated, calling you 'Senior' repeatedly.]
[You know that Lu Yuanwu must have discovered the effects of the pills, which is why he is so respectful.]
[Sure enough, Lu Yuanwu says that the day he received the pills, he tested their effects and discovered that they were greatly beneficial for the strength growth of Master-level professionals.]
[He says that these pills are a treasure for the Daxia military, and indeed, for the entire human race!]
[At the same time, Lu Yuanwu cautiously inquires about your needs and whether you have any intention of trading.]
[After hearing Lu Yuanwu's words, the corner of your mouth curves upwards. Lu Yuanwu's reaction was exactly as you expected.]
[After pondering for a moment, you propose a suitable price: 10 Nourishing Yuan Pills or Forging Viscera Pills in exchange for 1 ton of third-order exotic metal.]
[After hearing this price, Lu Yuanwu raises an eyebrow.]
[Third-order exotic metal is indeed precious, but the Daxia military has been mining in the mining area instance for countless years. The precious exotic metals in the market have long been piled up in the Daxia military's treasury.]
[Third-order exotic metal can provide precious weapons for Grandmaster-level and even Heavenly King-level professionals, greatly increasing their strength.]
[But Nourishing Yuan Pills and Forging Viscera Pills can directly cultivate Grandmaster-level powerhouses...]
[On average, ten Nourishing Yuan Pills or Forging Viscera Pills can, at the very least, produce a Grandmaster-level powerhouse. Whose value is higher is self-evident!]
[It's equivalent to exchanging 1 ton of third-order exotic metal for a Heavenly King-level powerhouse. Who wouldn't want that?]
[Understanding this, Lu Yuanwu readily agrees, even subtly asking if these pills have any side effects and why the price is so low.]
[You don't answer, simply asking Lu Yuanwu how much exotic metal he can prepare within a week.]
[Lu Yuanwu ponders for a moment and says that if this matter is reported to the Daxia military, gathering the entire military's resources, they can get as much as needed... But if it's just him alone, the amount of third-order exotic metal he can mobilize in a short time is only a few thousand tons.]
[You shake your head slightly and tell Lu Yuanwu that this matter cannot be publicized for now because there are human traitors within the Daxia military.]
[Lu Yuanwu is startled after hearing this and quickly asks if you know the information about the traitors.]
[You shake your head slightly, saying that you don't know yet, but you will tell him all the information about the traitors later.]
[Lu Yuanwu isn't disappointed after hearing this. In fact, not only him, but many military generals know that there are traitors, and they have been secretly searching for the internal spies.]
[It's just that these military traitors are too difficult to identify. Some traitors have been lurking for decades, and until a critical moment, they cannot be discovered.]
[Lu Yuanwu finally asks a crucial question: Senior, I wonder how many of these pills you can provide?]
[Su Xing slowly utters a number after hearing this: Fifty thousand!]
[Lu Yuanwu is shocked after hearing this number, then his face shows a look of ecstatic joy.]
[This is, a full fifty thousand pills! It can at least create five thousand, or even more, Grandmaster-level professionals within a year!]
[And this is enough to increase the number of Grandmaster-level professionals in the Daxia military by over 30%! It is an absolute qualitative leap for the overall strength of humanity!]
[Lu Yuanwu asks when you can trade. You think for a moment and tell him that you will trade once a month, the trading location will be here, and only Lu Yuanwu can come alone during the trade.]
[Lu Yuanwu quickly agrees. He understands that you are doing this to avoid those traitorous spies.]
[You then discuss the details of the trade with him, then leave without any hesitation...]
[After a period of rushing, you make sure no one is following you before returning to the Spiritual Field Cave Heaven.]
[At this time, you start tinkering with your puppets.]
[Unfortunately, apart from A Da, your puppets cannot yet refine pills like Nourishing Yuan Pills and Forging Viscera Pills, which are more difficult.]
[A Da was a Nascent Soul Stage alchemist in his previous life, so refining Nourishing Yuan Pills and Forging Viscera Pills is naturally no problem.]
[But you also find that with A Da's alchemy attainments, he can refine at most three hundred Nourishing Yuan Pills per week. This number is still too small! And the quality of the refined pills is far inferior to yours.]
[Over the next half a month, you stay in the Spiritual Field Cave Heaven and continue refining pills.]
[Until half a month later, you meet Luo Shuying as agreed and, under her guidance, join the Descending Sect.]
In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly.
"It's indeed time to trade with the Daxia military... From the current perspective, at least Lu Yuanwu is trustworthy!"
"And as my strength grows stronger, there are almost no beings on Earth that can threaten me..."
Entering the Unity Stage and comprehending the Heavenly Sword, Su Xing's current actual combat strength is roughly equivalent to a late-stage Emperor.
In the entire human race, perhaps only the aged peak Emperor in the Demon Suppression Pass can engage with Su Xing.
But that one can't leave the Demon Suppression Pass.
And on Earth, the only one from the Descending Sect who can be considered an opponent to Su Xing is Long Lao Gou.
And as Su Xing's strength rapidly increases, these two will soon be left far behind.
Therefore, the only thing Su Xing needs to pay attention to is enemies from outside Earth.
The crimson moon from the Slaughter Battlefield... and the Descending God Sect in the Three Thousand Worlds!
"Although the crimson moon hasn't resurrected yet, it is a deity after all, and I don't know what methods it possesses... So to be safe, I can't be too arrogant."
"And Long Lao Gou's existence, he can contact the Blood Letter faction in the Three Thousand Worlds at any time, so I have to be extremely careful!"
Pausing, Su Xing continued:
"But if I just trade with trustworthy people in the military, slowly releasing some inconspicuous items to exchange for a large amount of simulation energy to further increase my strength, that's the way to go!"
"It's like boiling a frog in warm water... Once I've accumulated enough strength and energy... even if I'm eventually discovered, I'll just crush them!"
Su Xing's lips curled into a slight smile.
His plan can be summarized in one sentence: Build high walls, accumulate energy widely, and slowly rise to prominence...
"However, the spies and undercover agents of the Descending Sect within the Daxia military are indeed a hidden danger. It's time to clean them up..."
Su Xing muttered.
"As for the list of these undercover agents... I've become the faction leader of the Descending Sect, is it difficult to get a small list?"
The above are the risks involved in Su Xing's trade with the military.
But if he further strengthens the trade, the benefits to Su Xing will be enormous!
Ten Nourishing Yuan Pills can be exchanged for 1 ton of third-order exotic metal, worth 2,000,000 simulation energy!
Ten thousand is 1000 tons of third-order exotic metal, worth 2 billion energy!
Su Xing only needs to take out one hundred thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills, which is 20 billion energy. At that time, the simulation energy needed to cultivate to the Mahayana Stage will be completely sufficient!
"But the problem is that it will take me a year and a half to refine one hundred thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills... and I don't have that many spirit herbs right now..."
Su Xing frowned slightly. Relying solely on his own refining is clearly not suitable and too time-consuming.
"But if... I use a simulation attempt to bring Nourishing Yuan Pills and Forging Viscera Pills out of the simulation?"
Su Xing couldn't help but feel proud.
The simulator's price for Nourishing Yuan Pills definitely won't be as exaggerated as 200,000 energy per pill.
Su Xing even estimated that one pill would only be worth around 10,000 energy.
And Su Xing could completely bring out tens of thousands of Nourishing Yuan Pills at once, then resell them to Lu Yuanwu to obtain exotic metal, making a huge profit from the difference!
"With my current strength, as long as I'm cautious... I can complete this kind of transaction without any risk!"
"This is called low risk, high return!"
Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
This time, he planned to root out the spies the Descending Sect had planted in the Daxia military!
[After joining the Descending Sect, you quickly gain the position of Descending Sect Protector due to your extraordinary strength.]
[In the following year, your status within the Descending Sect gradually rises, attracting a large number of fanatical followers.]
[At the same time, with Luo Shuying's help, you refine over ten thousand pills in a year.]
[In the second year, you set off for the Luo Tian Grand Assembly instance.]
In the real world, Su Xing silently said:
"Use immersive..."
[You have successfully used the immersive... Remaining energy: 700,009,000 points.]
...
The immersive simulation quickly ended. In this simulation, Su Xing, as always, learned puppetry from Ghost Granny.
"Not bad... Every time Ghost Granny teaches me, my understanding of puppetry deepens. Coupled with the Great Wisdom talent bonus, one teaching session is equivalent to months of studying puppetry..."
Su Xing nodded with satisfaction, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[After leaving the Luo Tian Grand Assembly instance, you return to the Descending Sect.]
[You continue to refine pills as usual. In a year, you refine another ten thousand pills.]
[At the same time, the herb seeds you planted before gradually mature and grow into mature herbs. You use this batch of spirit herbs to refine tens of thousands more pills.]
[Currently, you have over two hundred and thirty thousand pills in your possession!]
[In the third year, you disguise and conceal your aura, shielding your heavenly secrets, and go to meet Lu Yuanwu.]
[You give Lu Yuanwu one hundred and eighty thousand pills, keeping the remaining fifty thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills and Forging Viscera Pills for yourself.]
[In the fourth year, you start to free up time to improve your cultivation and strive to comprehend the Heavenly Sword Scripture!]
[In a year, you consume millions of drops of low-grade spirit liquid. Coupled with the cultivation increase from the operation of the miniature spirit gathering array over the past three years, you successfully break through to the Unity Stage, becoming a Unity Stage Double Realm cultivator!]
[But the difficulty of the Heavenly Sword Scripture increases significantly after reaching the Minor Completion stage. Even if you want to pile it up to the Great Completion stage, it will probably take decades, and ordinary sword cultivators will need hundreds of years or more.]
[So you plan to cultivate the Heavenly Sword Scripture while trying to rely on chance for a sudden epiphany, and at the same time, diligently cultivate and improve your cultivation.]
