Chapter 248: Precious Legacy of All-Wood, Establishing a Puppet Organization! (Plus Update for Monthly Ticket, Seeking Monthly Ticket~)
After seeing the simulation rewards, Su Xing raised an eyebrow.
"Wood and fire, two primal energies, not bad... But not within my current scope of consideration..."
"And Body-Protecting Sword Qi, plus the cultivation of Nascent Soul Stage Eighth Layer, actually requires 3.1 billion energy?"
"Sigh, it seems I can only exchange some of them from the legacy of All-Wood True Person..."
Su Xing currently lacks energy, first glanced at the time, Lu Yuanwu should have been waiting for a long time now.
So, Su Xing changed his appearance and concealed his aura, going to trade with Lu Yuanwu.
Half an hour later, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
Besides gaining twenty billion energy, Su Xing also learned that in a little over a month, there will be news of a large-scale transaction of strange metals.
"Adding this batch of energy, the total energy I currently have is only a little over 2.1 billion, there's still a gap of nearly ten billion energy..."
"It seems I can only pin my hopes on the legacy of All-Wood True Person!"
Su Xing's heart moved, and he took out a storage ring.
On this ancient-looking storage ring, there's a lush, tree-like pattern.
His divine sense entered the storage ring, the vastness of the space within the ring shocked Su Xing.
A full three thousand cubic meters of internal space, larger than the storage artifact of Elder Gou by quite a bit!
"Tsk tsk... This storage space is too large, not something a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator should possess... However, the All-Wood Sect had a Xian (Immortal) thousands of years ago, perhaps this storage ring was left behind from that time..."
Su Xing nodded slightly and began to search for treasures within the ring.
"Huh, there's actually a two-zhang long Condensation Spirit Wood..."
"Three thousand-year-old spirit herbs... There are hundreds of them! Although they can no longer be planted in the earth."
"And this Five Elements Pure Land is also a rare treasure, capable of accelerating the maturation of spirit plants..."
"Red Sun Jade, Yin Soul Wood... Devouring Yuan Flower..."
"Nearly ten thousand pieces of various talismanic artifacts, magic artifacts... Hundreds of treasure artifacts, and three weapons have reached the level of spirit artifacts!"
Su Xing continued to search, then his eyes lit up, and he took out a half-finished sword-type weapon.
"Damn, a nascent Xian artifact!? It's a nascent Xian artifact sword..."
Su Xing's little heart thumped wildly.
The grades of cultivator's artifacts are: talismanic artifacts, magic artifacts, treasure artifacts, spirit artifacts...
Spirit artifacts are already the commonly used weapons of Nascent Soul Stage and Great Ascension Stage cultivators.
And above spirit artifacts are Xian artifacts!
The cultivation and creation of Xian artifacts is extremely difficult.
It often takes hundreds of years of polishing and forging to take shape.
And an unformed Xian artifact is a nascent Xian artifact.
"Tsk tsk... If I were to refine and fuse this nascent Xian artifact with the Ink Ice Sword... Maybe the quality of the Ink Ice Sword could reach the Xian artifact level!"
Su Xing was overjoyed. The strength and weakness of a sword's quality undoubtedly have a huge impact on a sword cultivator's strength.
If Su Xing truly possessed a Xian artifact, coupled with the Great Completion level Body-Protecting Sword Qi, he would probably truly have the confidence to fight against a Transcending Tribulation Stage cultivator!
"Not bad, when I learn how to refine artifacts in the future, I'll personally refine a Xian artifact for myself..."
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction and put the nascent Xian artifact away.
Then, Su Xing discovered the arm-thick, charcoal-black Primordial Vermilion Bird tree branch in a jade box.
This unremarkable branch contained extraordinary Dao rhyme, making Su Xing feel that it was extraordinary.
"Tsk tsk... This is a Primordial Supreme Treasure!"
"Where did All-Wood True Person obtain such a treasure!?"
"With this branch, sensing the Wood and Fire Dao in the future will definitely be much easier!"
Su Xing exclaimed, but this branch will be taken by Su Xing from now on.
Immediately, Su Xing's heart moved, wanting to see the energy contained within this piece of wood.
[Ding, detected a massive amount of energy source material, can be exchanged for 100,000 energy source, or 100 billion simulation energy, exchange?]
Su Xing: "..."
A full one hundred billion simulation energy! And Su Xing only needs a thought to obtain it!
Su Xing's breathing instantly became heavy, bloodshot appeared in his eyes. With this one hundred billion energy, he should be able to simulate to the Xian realm, right?
But Su Xing still suppressed the greed in his heart, constantly reminding himself:
"Calm down... Calm down! This is a trap!"
"The actual value of this branch is at least one trillion simulation energy!"
"And the help it will provide me in the future is arguably even greater!"
"I absolutely cannot be so foolish as to exchange it..."
Su Xing took a deep breath and placed the unremarkable branch back into the jade box, then hid it in an inconspicuous corner.
For fear that one day he wouldn't be able to resist and exchange this branch for simulation energy...
"Sigh, let's exchange some useless resources for energy first..."
Su Xing pondered for a moment and decided to exchange those talismanic artifacts and magic artifacts for simulation energy.
[Ding, detected a large amount of energy material, worth 2.35432 billion simulation energy... Exchange?]
The simulator's prompt sounded in his ears.
"Tsk tsk, just these unusable artifacts are worth so much energy?"
Su Xing exclaimed, these nearly ten thousand artifacts contained more energy than he had imagined!
Unfortunately, most of the artifacts used by cultivators are not suitable for professionals, and they cannot exert 30% of their power in the hands of professionals, so their value is not high.
Su Xing pondered for a moment and decided to exchange ten billion simulation energy first, and if he needed more energy later, he could exchange the rest.
With a thought, Su Xing gained over ten billion simulation energy, and his remaining energy total reached 3.172 billion points.
"Tsk tsk... All-Wood True Person was truly wealthy!"
"His storage ring contains so many treasures... Perhaps he was preparing to re-establish the All-Wood Sect after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage?"
Su Xing vaguely guessed All-Wood True Person's thoughts.
In this storage ring, excluding the branch, the total energy value is close to four hundred billion!
This wealth is even comparable to that of a Xian realm cultivator!
Of course, most of the artifacts, jade slips, pills, herbs... various inheritances, and the All-Wood Determination Technique that Su Xing needs.
Su Xing doesn't plan to use them.
This batch of treasures will be far more helpful to Su Xing than pure simulation energy!
"And the inheritance pills and classics of the All-Wood Sect... Detailed records of no less than three thousand types of pill refinement methods, from first-grade to ninth-grade..."
"With this Dan Dao inheritance, my foundation in pill refinement will be much more solid!"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction.
Currently, most of the pill refinement methods Su Xing has mastered come from the Blazing Fire Pill Refinement Technique.
But this pill refinement technique also has drawbacks, namely that it is incomplete and lacks guidance on basic pill refinement techniques.
So, although Su Xing's Dan Dao has reached small completion, it ultimately has a bit of a wild path feeling.
This can be seen from the Blazing Fire Pill Refinement Technique's classification of pill grades.
First to third-grade pills are low-grade, corresponding to Golden Core Stage cultivators.
Third to sixth-grade pills are mid-grade, corresponding to Void Reversion Stage cultivators.
Seventh to ninth-grade pills are high-grade, corresponding to the highest Transcending Tribulation Stage cultivators.
And above ninth-grade pills, the Blazing Fire Pill Refinement Technique even records the refinement methods of several Xian pills!
However, with Su Xing's current energy and pill refinement skills, he cannot study them one by one for the time being.
But if Su Xing re-understands the pill refinement inheritance of the All-Wood Sect, he will surely be able to fill in the gaps and further improve his pill refinement skills.
"This storage ring contains many inheritances, and there are mountains of various artifacts, materials, and cultivation resources... I'll take a closer look when I have time in the future, I'm sure I'll gain a lot!"
Su Xing muttered.
Next, Su Xing needs to choose his simulation rewards!
"I choose to bring out the Nascent Soul Stage Eighth Layer cultivation and the Body-Protecting Sword Qi comprehension!"
Su Xing silently recited, and then he heard a prompt.
[You have successfully brought out Nascent Soul Stage Eighth Layer cultivation, spending 2 billion energy, remaining energy 1.172 billion.]
[You have successfully brought out Body-Protecting Sword Qi (Small Completion level), spending 1.1 billion energy, remaining energy 72 million.]
As the prompt fell, two mysterious forces surged into Su Xing's body.
The first thing it brought was a rapid increase in Su Xing's cultivation!
Nascent Soul Stage Fourth Layer... Nascent Soul Stage Fifth Layer... Nascent Soul Stage Sixth Layer...
Then, in one go, he entered the Nascent Soul Late Stage!
But it wasn't over yet.
The cultivation feedback continued until Su Xing reached the Nascent Soul Stage Eighth Layer Initial Stage, before finally stopping.
Su Xing opened his eyes and nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad, Nascent Soul Eighth Layer... The spiritual energy within my body has become more than twice as thick!"
"However, the thing that brought about the biggest change in my strength is the Body-Protecting Sword Qi!"
Su Xing's heart moved, and three hundred and twenty-four strands of Body-Protecting Sword Qi circled around him.
Each one is a palm-sized golden little sword, containing amazing sword intent.
The sharp sword intent caused a gentle breeze to blow through the air.
"If I were to release all the Sword Qi at once, even a Transcending Tribulation Stage cultivator would only be able to temporarily avoid the edge!"
"An offensive technique that surpasses a whole major realm... The Body-Protecting Sword Qi divine ability, truly worthy of being a Great Divine Ability!"
But then Su Xing shook his head slightly and sighed, saying:
"Unfortunately, I can only use this Body-Protecting Sword Qi once... After one time, the Sword Source within my body will be exhausted..."
The most important components of Body-Protecting Sword Qi are spiritual energy and Sword True Intent.
Su Xing has a Spiritual Energy Seed within his body, so his spiritual energy is still abundant.
But Sword True Intent, once depleted, Su Xing will not be able to activate it again in a short period of time.
If he wants to have more Sword True Intent, Su Xing needs to have a deeper understanding of the Sword Dao...
"However, as my understanding of the Heavenly Sword Art deepens, and I comprehend stronger Sword True Intent... I'm sure the power of the Body-Protecting Sword Qi will further increase!"
Su Xing thought so.
"Sigh, although I'm already an invincible cultivator at the Great Ascension Stage... I still need to be down-to-earth and accumulate energy!"
Su Xing muttered to himself.
Then, Su Xing took out the living corpse puppet All-Wood True Person and began to modify it.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
During these seven days, Su Xing has been immersed in making the All-Wood puppet.
Although the process of making a living corpse puppet is simpler than a regular artifact puppet.
But if you want to maximize the preservation of All-Wood puppet's strength and the skills he had in life, it's still not easy.
The most difficult part is the creation of the puppet core and the puppet imprint.
"Whew, I've finally completed half of it..."
"At this rate, I should be able to complete the All-Wood puppet next week."
"Although it may not be able to recover to the half-step Nascent Soul Stage strength, reaching the Void Reversion Stage peak should be no problem..."
Su Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath.
During this week, something happened that made Su Xing quite surprised.
That is, the puppet Xiao Mei successfully advanced to the Golden Core Stage.
Currently, Xiao Mei has been appointed by Su Xing as the manager of the medicine garden, mainly responsible for issuing orders to other puppets, letting them perform their duties, whether it be farming or refining pills.
And Xiao Mei's puppet core has Su Xing's soul imprint.
Therefore, Su Xing is not worried about any risk of betrayal.
"Let's see, it's about time to meet Jin Cong Xue..."
Su Xing's heart moved, muttering:
"Perhaps I can try letting a puppet take my place to meet Jin Cong Xue?"
Su Xing looked at the puppet Xiao Bai, the Void Breaking Stage puppet obtained from the All-Wood Sect ruins.
Then, Su Xing left the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, walked to the school gate, and when no one was around,
Su Xing summoned the puppet Xiao Bai and controlled Xiao Bai to walk towards the villa.
With the puppet Xiao Bai's strength, entering the villa would not be noticed by anyone.
And Su Xing's divine sense also enveloped the entire villa and the surrounding ten miles, paying attention to any changes.
At this moment, in Su Xing's divine sense perception, Jin Cong Xue seemed to be... nervous?
"Whew~ It's this late, why hasn't that heartless man come yet?"
Jin Cong Xue's small face was flushed red, and she muttered at the dinner table.
Su Xing's forehead twitched, and then he felt a little mischievous.
So, he controlled the puppet Xiao Bai to appear behind Jin Cong Xue and transmitted with his divine sense:
"Su Xing has something to do now, I'll be conducting this transaction."
The sudden appearance of Xiao Bai startled Jin Cong Xue.
Jin Cong Xue looked vigilant, took two steps back, and frowned:
"Who are you? Where's Su Xing?"
Su Xing controlled the puppet and said:
"Hehe, who am I? I am naturally the powerful person behind Su Xing!"
"Su Xing has been cooperating with you for so long, it's time for me to meet you... I'll also take this opportunity to assess whether you're a trustworthy partner!"
The emotionless voice entered Jin Cong Xue's ears.
Jin Cong Xue was stunned for a moment, then reacted and tentatively asked:
"You... are you the great person behind Su Xing?"
In Jin Cong Xue's guess, Su Xing was able to provide so many pills, he must be extraordinary, and there must be a big secret behind him.
And the most likely possibility is that there's an extremely powerful senior expert guiding him behind the scenes.
All of this was Jin Cong Xue's guess, but Su Xing never told her, and she was too embarrassed to ask.
And today, Jin Cong Xue finally met this "mysterious person behind Su Xing".
"That's right, I am indeed the man behind that kid Su Xing..."
Xiao Bai cooperated and said.
Jin Cong Xue's heart trembled. This mysterious person suddenly appeared behind her, and she didn't sense him at all.
This is probably something even a Heavenly King level expert wouldn't be able to do!
"In that case, this senior is probably a Martial Emperor... or even a Legendary level expert!"
Jin Cong Xue swallowed, feeling a little nervous and tentatively said:
"Su Xing, that kid... cough, Su Xing junior, where is he now? What do you need me for?"
"I said, I'm here to trade on behalf of Su Xing, and to assess you, to see if you're qualified..." Xiao Bai's emotionless voice came.
Jin Cong Xue became even more nervous after hearing this, and tentatively said: "Then senior... what will happen if I'm not qualified?"
Xiao Bai: "..."
"Hmm? If you're not qualified..."
Several kilometers away, Su Xing leaned against a tree, stroking his chin, and with a mischievous air, he used his divine sense to respond:
"If you're not qualified, naturally, you'll disappear from this world forever..."
Xiao Bai's voice entered Jin Cong Xue's ears, and Jin Cong Xue's knees went weak in fright.
At this time, Xiao Bai said again:
"Hehe, just kidding, little girl... Su Xing is quite fond of you!"
"I'm just here to see what you look like."
After hearing Xiao Bai's words, Jin Cong Xue let out a long sigh of relief, but her face was slightly flushed, and she stammered:
"Senior, you're really good at joking... My relationship with Su Xing isn't what you think it is..."
Su Xing controlled Xiao Bai again, pretending to be a senior expert, then took the goods of the week, and returned to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
In the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, Su Xing looked at the puppet Xiao Bai in front of him and muttered:
"Tsk tsk, this puppet Xiao Bai is really useful... Controlling the puppet is as convenient as moving my own hands and feet!"
"And my current divine sense strength is enough to control dozens of puppets simultaneously..."
Su Xing had a vague plan in his mind...
"If I use these puppets to pretend to be a mysterious organization with a thousand-year history... Perhaps I can get more things done!"
"And it's even more secretive, with absolutely no risk of exposure!"
Su Xing felt that this idea was very promising, and he had a rough idea, but the detailed plan could not be formulated yet.
"Tsk tsk, let's prepare for the simulation first..."
Su Xing glanced at the time, the simulation cooldown was about to end.
So Su Xing exchanged the new week's goods for simulation energy.
On the afternoon of March 10, 2025, Su Xing started a new round of simulation on time.
"Start simulation!"
[Ding! This simulation consumes 7800 energy, remaining energy 343.33 million, remaining simulation times none.]
[Simulation starts!]
[Spending 100,000 energy to draw a purple talent, spending 1 million energy to draw a golden legendary talent, draw?]
"Draw a golden quality talent!"
Su Xing silently recited.
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the purple talent Immortal Brewed Spirit Wine, the next chance of drawing a golden talent is 40%...]
[Immortal Brewed Spirit Wine]: Purple talent, one of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, you are extremely skilled in making Immortal Brewed Spirit Wine, the Immortal Brewed Spirit Wine you make can help with cultivation, and is the favorite of alcoholic cultivators.
"Whew, another new skill in the Hundred Arts of Cultivation..."
Su Xing shook his head slightly, these talents are not useful to him for the time being anyway.
Anyway, he has the Gift of Roses talent, perhaps he can give it to someone in need later, and also build goodwill.
Su Xing skipped the talents and began to think about his plan for this simulation.
"My cultivation has already reached Nascent Soul Stage Eighth Layer, reaching Nascent Soul Great Completion in this simulation shouldn't be a problem..."
"Also, I've comprehended three hundred and twenty-four strands of Body-Protecting Sword Qi, taking the Spiritual Awakening Pill and immersive simulation to reach Great Completion in Body-Protecting Sword Qi..."
"After completing these two points, I can enter the Giant Beast's abdominal space to seek the advancement of the Heavenly Thunder Body and the opportunity to break through to Great Completion!"
Su Xing thought so, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[In the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, you realize that you are in a simulation.]
[You trade with Lu Yuanwu, nothing unexpected happens...]
[Ten days later, you go to the Luo Tian Grand Assembly instance.]
[After the immersive simulation, you leave the Luo Tian instance and go to meet Luo Shu Ying.]
[At Luo Shu Ying's introduction, you join the Descending Sect...]
[You become a Descending Sect Protector.]
[You prepare to make a new attempt, to establish a mysterious organization that will never betray you, all members of this organization are your puppets.]
[Your initial idea is to have ten members in the organization.]
[Respectively, the eight puppets you obtained from Elder Gou, except for Xiao Mei, each puppet has Yuan Ying Peak cultivation.]
[These are seven Heavenly King Peak level puppet powerhouses.]
[In addition, there's the All-Wood True Person puppet and the Void Breaking Stage puppet Xiao Bai, these are the highest combat power of the puppet organization you are about to establish, comparable to Legendary Initial and Legendary Peak powerhouses.]
[These ten puppets, with All-Wood True Person as the nominal leader, Xiao Mei and Xiao Bai as deputy leaders, and the other seven Yuan Ying Peak puppets as cadres.]
[And the task of this puppet organization is to cooperate with various chambers of commerce to collect various energy-containing materials for you.]
[The content of the cooperation is to exchange various rare props for things like strange metals, instance props, various levels of equipment, rare materials, beast blood essence...]
[To ensure that the transactions have sufficient appeal, the rare props you provide include: Longevity Pill, Life Extension Pill, artifacts comparable to Legendary weapons, fifth-grade and above talismans, Rebirth Pill, etc...]
[All props are for Heavenly King level and above powerhouses, focusing on a high-end route.]
[To blind the Descending Sect and distract them, you name this organization the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!]
[Meaning to compete with Heaven and seize a sliver of opportunity.]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and raised an eyebrow.
The creation of this organization is very similar to what Su Xing had in mind.
Su Xing only needs a seed of an idea, and his future self in the simulation will try it out.
The goal of establishing this organization is actually only one: to collect enough energy for Su Xing.
And under this premise, try not to expose himself as much as possible.
"If I come forward to sell Longevity Pills, various weapons, high-grade talismans, pills... I'll inevitably be stretched thin, and it's easy to be discovered."
"But if the puppets do these things, it's different..."
"All-Wood True Person and Xiao Bai's strength is enough to deter all the chambers of commerce in the Daxia Kingdom, and with seven Heavenly King Peak level puppets conducting transactions, perhaps it can become my most important energy source channel!"
Pausing for a moment, Su Xing muttered:
"And what I have to do is to hide behind the scenes, and when the time is right, reap the fruits of my labor..."
Su Xing felt that the establishment of this organization and plan was very promising.
But how the specific implementation will turn out, whether there will be risks, is still unknown.
Su Xing looked forward to the simulation panel with some anticipation.
[After having a rough idea, after joining the Descending Sect, you begin to implement your plan.]
[Next, you openly refine pills every day, raising your prestige within the Descending Sect.]
[Secretly, you disperse the ten puppets to various cities where the chambers of commerce in Daxia are located.]
[The main locations of the puppets are Modu, Jinling City, and Guang Province.]
[These few locations have the Mingzhu Chamber of Commerce, Jin Family Chamber of Commerce, and Baili Chamber of Commerce, the top three top chambers of commerce in Daxia.]
[There are also several top chambers of commerce ranked within the top twenty, and over ten first-rate chambers of commerce, they are your important potential partners.]
[Modu and Jinling City are relatively close, you arrange four Yuan Ying Peak puppets and the All-Wood True Person puppet to be stationed there.]
[In Guang Province, you station two Yuan Ying Peak puppets and the Void Breaking Stage puppet Xiao Bai.]
[As for Kyoto and Shuangqing City's Southwest Chamber of Commerce, you don't plan to station puppets there for the time being.]
[Because these two areas are the military headquarters and the Descending Sect headquarters respectively, accidents are prone to happen.]
[After formulating the plan, you take out over ten Longevity Pills, several low-grade treasure artifacts suitable for professionals and comparable to Legendary weapons, and several fourth to sixth-grade talismans.]
[You give these props to the puppets and modify the puppet imprints, letting them trade on your behalf.]
[A week after the plan is implemented, you discover a problem.]
[When the puppets are more than two thousand miles away from you, you lose control of them.]
[To improve your control, you need to improve your divine sense strength.]
[In addition, during the transaction, the puppets were also attacked.]
[Although the puppets ultimately displayed their strength and the transaction was completed successfully, their internal spirit stones were depleted.]
[To prevent the puppets from losing power, you recall the puppets and modify them.]
[You design a new puppet core, powered by spirit liquid, and set up a miniature spirit gathering array, allowing them to return to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven and recharge themselves.]
[You find that one thousand drops of mid-grade spirit liquid, or three months of spiritual energy charging, is enough for an ordinary puppet to carry out a month's worth of tasks.]
[And for the two Legendary puppets, if they fight with powerhouses of the same level with all their might, it takes several thousand drops of mid-grade spirit liquid per time.]
[Although the energy expenditure is a bit high, you can only grit your teeth and spend it.]
[Three months after the plan is implemented, all the items you provided are traded.]
[Including a total of twelve Longevity Pills, six Life Extension Pills, three artifacts comparable to Legendary weapons, seven fourth-grade talismans, three fifth-grade talismans, and one sixth-grade talisman...]
[And you used these items to trade for 46,000 tons of second-grade strange metal, 3400 tons of third-grade strange metal, countless instance props piled up like a mountain...]
[Ten million white-quality equipment, one million green-quality equipment, tens of thousands of blue-quality equipment...]
(Two updates, 14,000 words in total, seeking monthly tickets~)
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 249: Nascent Soul Stage Perfection, Heavenly Thunder Body Advancement! (10,000 words, two-in-one)
In the real world, Su Xing looked at the slightly calculated results.
"Second and third-order alien metals, with a total value of 16 billion energy, plus copy props, various low-level equipment… The final total value should be between 25 billion and 30 billion energy!"
Thinking of this, Su Xing's eyes lit up.
This proved that the establishment of the puppet organization was truly feasible!
Just by trading with major chambers of commerce, it would be possible to earn 20 to 30 billion energy within three months!
In comparison, the energy that the Tarot Society brought to Su Xing was only one-tenth of this organization!
"Tsk tsk, this is still at the initial stage of the organization's establishment… If the reputation becomes famous later, I'm afraid it will be possible to obtain even more energy!"
Su Xing's heart thumped.
Su Xing was satisfied with the income of this plan.
"But the question is, how much risk does this plan have?"
"If the risk is unbearable… even if the income is higher, it cannot be executed!"
Su Xing muttered, his gaze once again falling on the simulation panel.
[After retrieving the ten scattered puppets, you found that several of the Heavenly King-level puppets had varying degrees of damage.]
[You repaired them one by one and placed them in the Spirit Field Cave Heaven to recharge.]
[In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.]
[In the second year, you stayed in the Descending Church, continuing to refine pills, and took a trip to the Luotian copy in between.]
[You started sending out the ten puppets for the second time and gave them twice the trading materials as before.]
[Three months later, nine puppets returned, and one puppet went missing, whereabouts unknown.]
[You learned that the trading partner of this puppet was the Mingzhu Chamber of Commerce in Modu.]
[So you sent Wanmu Zhenren to investigate secretly.]
[You learned that the Mingzhu Chamber of Commerce sent out a Martial Emperor, three Heavenly King-level powerhouses, captured the Nascent Soul puppet, and tortured it, hoping to find out the secret of the so-called "Celestial Mechanism Pavilion".]
[You are very angry about this, so you spared no expense of 10,000 drops of spiritual liquid to have Wanmu Zhenren take action, killing a Martial Emperor and three Heavenly Kings, and rescuing the Nascent Soul puppet.]
[After this battle, the reputation of the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion completely intimidated these chambers of commerce.]
[In subsequent transactions, the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion never had any puppets injured again.]
Su Xing nodded slightly after seeing this.
Those chambers of commerce, prioritizing profit, naturally bully the weak and fear the strong, as long as they show their strength, they can naturally deter them.
But what Su Xing cared about was not this, but whether Long Laogou would find out, and thus make Xue San vigilant?
Thinking like this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[In the third year, your status in the Descending Church increased day by day.]
[You gave the pills you refined over the past two years to the Daxia military, adding many powerful individuals to the human race.]
[At the same time, you also have more time to work hard to improve your Qi Refining cultivation.]
[In the fourth year, you learned that Long Laogou had issued an order to investigate a secret organization called the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion.]
[After hearing this news, your heart tightened, and indeed, the existence of the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion had attracted Long Laogou's attention.]
[But you don't know whether Xue San, who is far away in the Three Thousand Worlds, has learned about this news, or what his thoughts are.]
[To be safe, you temporarily stopped the transactions of the eight puppets, leaving only Wanmu Zhenren and Xiaobai to trade with the major chambers of commerce.]
[Thus, another two years passed.]
[In the sixth year, you consumed millions of drops of low-grade spiritual liquid, and your cultivation level increased to the Nascent Soul Stage eight-fold mid-stage.]
[As your cultivation gets higher and higher, your cultivation speed also slows down.]
[In the seventh year, Xiaobai escaped back with serious injuries, and you learned that he was ambushed by the leader of the Fanatical faction, but eventually managed to escape.]
[You brought Xiaobai back to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven. In the same year, you designed to eliminate the leader of the Natural faction and took his place.]
[At the same time, over these years, you have comprehended the mysterious tree branch, and your understanding of the Wood and Fire primordial energies has begun to take shape.]
[In the eighth year, you designed to eliminate Long Laogou, and thus the last obstacle to the Descending Church on Blue Star was successfully removed by you.]
[In the following two years, you worked hard to cultivate and comprehend the Wood and Fire primordial energies.]
[In the tenth year, your understanding of the Fire primordial energy finally reached the entry level.]
[You know that Xue San will arrive in the next year, so you hid the puppets in the Wanmu Sect ruins in advance.]
[In the eleventh year, Xue San arrived, and you offered the treasure tree branch, successfully gaining Xue San's trust.]
[At the same time, Xue San asked you about the information of the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion…]
[Your heart tightened, but you remained calm on the surface.]
[You said that the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion is very mysterious, and they only trade with major chambers of commerce, providing some low-level items for cultivators and exchanging a large amount of alien metals, equipment, and so on.]
[After hearing this, a hint of strangeness flashed in Xue San's eyes, and he muttered words like "Celestial Mechanism" and "Thousand Mechanisms"...]
[Xue San told you not to confront the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion head-on, but to observe secretly. If the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion has any major actions, you must tell him immediately.]
[You know that perhaps Xue San has misunderstood something, but you are also happy to have it this way.]
[After Xue San left, you brought the puppets and the Spiritual Vein Dragon back to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven and continued to learn as usual.]
[At this time, on Blue Star, you are the leader of the Descending Church, not at all worried that the secret of the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion will be leaked to Xue San…]
Su Xing looked at the simulation text in front of him and raised his eyebrows.
"Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion… Celestial Mechanism Pavilion?"
"Could it be that Xue San mistakenly thought that the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion is a subordinate organization secretly sent to Blue Star by the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion?"
Su Xing pondered.
"Unexpectedly, a casually chosen name has also played a role in deterring others… making the Descending Church dare not act rashly!"
"It seems that as long as the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion acts cautiously and doesn't reveal too many flaws, it may bring me huge profits!"
Su Xing was quite satisfied with this result.
But as for the specific subsequent risks, Su Xing still needs to further explore in future simulations.
"Then next, it's time to focus on improving my strength and quickly reach the Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection realm…"
Su Xing muttered, looking at the simulation panel.
[After Xue San left, the biggest threat to the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion was temporarily avoided. You still let the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion trade with major chambers of commerce outside to see if there are any hidden risks.]
[In the twelfth year, your cultivation level reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage eight-fold, and you began to work towards breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage nine-fold.]
[You prepared 500,000 drops of medium-grade spiritual liquid and began preparing for the breakthrough.]
[Half a year later, you successfully left seclusion, advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage nine-fold!]
[In the thirteenth year, you went to the Mystical Beast Realm ruins and dealt with all the legendary mystical beasts and the three Mystical Beast Emperors.]
[In the fourteenth year, you suddenly received a transmission from Xue San, who asked you why the Mystical Beast Realm's alien races died so quickly.]
[And asked you if the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion has had any unusual activity during this period.]
[You said that the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion has not had any unusual activity, and you don't know the specific situation of the Mystical Beast Realm.]
[Xue San was very dissatisfied with your answer. He said that he would spare some time to come to Blue Star again later.]
[After hearing this, you were surprised and hid the puppets back in the Wanmu Sect ruins.]
[In the fifteenth year, you took out a top-grade Spirit Awakening Pill and accumulated a month of Great Wisdom state enhancement, preparing to strive for the Body Protection Sword Qi to reach Great Perfection.]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and silently said:
"Use immersive simulation, duration 30 days…"
[Ding, you have successfully used immersive… Remaining energy 206,553,000 points.]
As the prompt sound fell, Su Xing's vision changed in front of his eyes.
"Whew… Currently, the number of Sword Qi is 324. In one month, it needs to reach 360 Sword Qi to reach Great Perfection!"
Su Xing muttered, then took out the Spirit Awakening Pill and swallowed it, immediately beginning to comprehend the Body Protection Sword Qi.
Under the double enhancement of the Spirit Awakening Pill and the Great Wisdom state, one month of comprehension is better than ten years of ordinary practice!
In the first ten days, Su Xing comprehended 16 Sword Qi, and the total number of Body Protection Sword Qi reached 340.
On the twentieth day, the number of Sword Qi that Su Xing comprehended reached 352!
But as the number of Sword Qi continued to increase, Su Xing also felt a little strenuous.
On the twenty-eighth day, Su Xing successfully mastered 360 Sword Qi.
Su Xing's mastery of the Body Protection Sword Qi finally entered the Great Perfection level!
"There are still two days left, and I can't waste them…"
Su Xing muttered, then took out a few jade slips, which contained some commonly used cultivator spells, and began to study them.
…
Soon, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing returned to reality.
"Three hundred and sixty Body Protection Sword Qi, successfully mastered!"
"Then next, it is time to wait to enter the giant beast's abdomen and seek the opportunity for Great Perfection!"
The corners of Su Xing's mouth curled up slightly, and he felt a little excited.
"I just don't know when Xue San will return to Blue Star… Before that, it's best not to improve my strength too quickly, otherwise, it would be bad if it attracts Xue San's attention!"
Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[In the sixteenth year, you only relied on spiritual energy and spirit stones to cultivate and began to accumulate spiritual liquid.]
[Thus, five years passed quickly…]
[In the twenty-first year, one day, you calculated a divination and found that you would have a calamity within seven days.]
[Your heart tightened immediately, knowing that it might be Xue San's arrival on Blue Star.]
[So you hid the Spiritual Vein Dragon, Gathering Spirit Flowers, and so on, all in the Wanmu Sect ruins.]
[Sure enough, seven days later, Xue San arrived and asked you about the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion's related information.]
[You said that the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion has not had any major actions in recent years.]
[Xue San nodded slightly and went to the Mystical Beast Realm himself to investigate the situation.]
[Fortunately, more than ten years have passed, and the traces of that time have almost disappeared, and Xue San did not suspect you.]
[After coming out of the Mystical Beast Realm copy, Xue San left Blue Star.]
[After Xue San left, you brought the Gathering Spirit Flowers and the Spiritual Vein Dragon back to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.]
[Thus, the next three years were peaceful and uneventful.]
[In the twenty-fourth year, your cultivation level successfully reached the Nascent Soul Stage nine-fold mid-stage.]
[You accumulated tens of thousands of drops of medium-grade spiritual liquid and millions of drops of low-grade spiritual liquid, preparing to quickly improve your cultivation.]
[In the monotonous closed-door cultivation, another two years passed…]
[In the twenty-sixth year, your cultivation level reached the Nascent Soul Stage nine-fold late-stage.]
[You then cultivate daily, refining spiritual energy, steadily progressing towards the Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection.]
[Thus, two years passed.]
[In the twenty-eighth year, the Mystical Beast Saint descended on the Demon Suppression Pass.]
[You used the same trick again, suppressing your strength, and every time you fought with the Mystical Beast Saint, you were both seriously injured.]
[Five years passed slowly, and these were the most stable five years for the Demon Suppression Pass.]
[In the thirty-third year, your cultivation finally reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage nine-fold.]
[This year, the Mystical Beast Saint discovered something was wrong and left the Demon Suppression Pass.]
[In the same year, you began to work towards breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection.]
[You prepared 300,000 drops of medium-grade spiritual liquid and 1 million drops of low-grade spiritual liquid and formally entered closed-door cultivation for the breakthrough.]
[Half a year later, your breakthrough failed, and you remained at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage nine-fold.]
[But you are neither arrogant nor impatient, continuing to refine your realm and spiritual energy, accumulating spiritual liquid, and waiting for the next breakthrough.]
[Six years passed slowly…]
[In the thirty-ninth year, you once again prepared enough spiritual liquid and launched an assault on the Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection.]
[This time, you succeeded!]
[Congratulations, you have successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection!]
[In the fortieth year, you know that the Demon Suppression Pass will inevitably be destroyed this year.]
[So you don't hesitate any longer and leave the Demon Suppression Pass, returning to Blue Star.]
[Sure enough, a few months later, news of the Demon Suppression Pass being destroyed came.]
[In the same year, the giant beast invaded and swallowed the entire Daxia country in one gulp.]
[You erected your Body Protection Sword Qi and entered the giant beast copy space.]
[Mountains, rivers, plants, and all life gradually turned into nothingness before your eyes.]
[But relying on your own cultivation and the existence of the Body Protection Sword Qi, you are unharmed.]
[You are looking for the traces of a large thunder region.]
[After several hours, you found a large thunder region.]
[Without any hesitation, you entered this area.]
[Six feet wide, terrifying thunder like a horned dragon, struck towards you.]
[You erected your Body Protection Sword Qi, and this thunder was steadily blocked by you.]
[丝丝 (sī sī) threads of lightning, mixed with the Thunder primordial energy, continuously tempered your physical body. In the tempering of this thunder, you feel waves of excruciating pain.]
[But these Thunder primordial energies can only injure you, and under the effect of the Little Strong talent, your injuries quickly recover…]
[Under the tempering of the Thunder primordial energy, you are inching closer to your limit.]
[At the same time, your Heavenly Thunder Body is also gradually approaching the second stage.]
[Your comprehension of the Thunder primordial energy gradually deepens…]
In the real world, Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this.
"Sure enough, as I expected, the Body Protection Sword Qi can completely block most of the thunder… the rest is just right for me to temper my body and break through the limit!"
Based on Su Xing's speculation, 360 Body Protection Sword Qi should have a defensive power close to that of a newly entered Transcending Tribulation cultivator.
The thunder in the large thunder region is still somewhat weaker than a real tribulation thunder.
So Su Xing should be able to easily withstand it.
"Then next, it is time for stable tempering to achieve the second stage of the Heavenly Thunder Body and break through the limit…"
Su Xing was somewhat expectant, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[One… three… five…]
[Terrifying thunder like a horned dragon continuously tempered your physical body.]
[And you are also inching closer to your limit… You can feel that your Heavenly Thunder Body is undergoing a certain transformation.]
[After a long time, this thunder region dissipated, and you feel that your strength has taken another step forward.]
[You don't hesitate and begin to search for the next large thunder region…]
[Thus, three days and three nights passed.]
[You have experienced six large thunder regions. You can feel that in this process, your comprehension of the Thunder primordial energy has reached the entry level.]
[What surprised you even more is that the Thunder primordial energy has broken into the second stage, and you are only one step away from breaking through the limit and achieving Great Perfection in Body Tempering!]
[At this time, the space in this void becomes increasingly unstable, with various spatial turbulences everywhere.]
[You carefully avoid these turbulences and search for the last large thunder region.]
[Finally, after several hours, you stepped into the last thunder region.]
[The terrifying thunder strikes again, continuously tempering your physical body…]
[One… two… five!]
[You have withstood eight bolts of thunder!]
[Finally, on the ninth bolt, you feel that your physical body is breaking.]
[Your strength skyrockets at this moment!]
[Your Heavenly Thunder Body also completes its breakthrough at this moment, successfully entering the second stage!]
[The thunder region slowly dissipates… You are surprised to find that you have become a Great Perfection Body Tempering cultivator!]
[So you try to cross the void turbulence…]
[You erect your Body Protection Sword Qi and use your physical strength to traverse the void.]
[The Body Protection Sword Qi withstands three void turbulences…]
[You are shredded by the fourth void turbulence…]
[You are dead!]
[This simulation is over!]
Su Xing looked at the simulation text in front of him and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Great Perfection Body Tempering realm, it's done!?"
Su Xing took a deep breath, feeling that all this came too suddenly.
"It seems that the power of this Body Protection Sword Qi is even stronger than I imagined!"
"It actually completed Great Perfection Body Tempering so smoothly!"
Su Xing was overjoyed.
But he also knew that what he saw was just cold simulation text, and the hardships in the simulation were something Su Xing couldn't experience.
"Then, let's see the rewards for this simulation!"
Su Xing's heart moved, and his gaze fell on the reward list.
[Immortal Brew Spirit Wine]: Purple talent, selling price 1 million energy points.
[Twenty Years of Pill Refinement Experience]: After exchange, the existing pill refinement comprehension will increase slightly, selling price 10 million energy.
[Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection Cultivation]: Nascent Soul Stage late-stage cultivator, sensing the embryonic form of the Dao, comprehending the primordial energy… selling price 1 billion energy.
[Wood Primordial Energy (Entry Level)]: The basic structure of the Great Dao of Wood, containing strong vitality, warm and silent, with the ability to revive the dead and heal injuries, and can also extend life. Selling price 500 million energy.
[Fire Primordial Energy (Entry Level)]: The basic structure of the Great Dao of Fire, containing terrifying power, able to enhance the power of fire-type spells. Selling price 500 million energy.
[Thunder Primordial Energy (Entry Level)]: The basic structure of the Great Dao of Thunder, possessing terrifying destructive power, with additional damage bonus against demons, ghosts, and spirits. Selling price 500 million energy.
[Heavenly Thunder Body (Second Stage)]: The second stage of the Heavenly Thunder Body, tempered by heavenly thunder, absorbing the Thunder primordial energy to strengthen the physique, greatly improving the speed of comprehending the Thunder primordial energy, increasing the purity of the Thunder Spiritual Root, enhancing affinity with Thunder spiritual energy, and slightly increasing the upper limit of physical potential. Selling price 1 billion energy.
[Great Perfection Body Tempering Realm First Stage]: The limit realm of mortal body tempering cultivators, Great Perfection Body Tempering, can briefly traverse the void, physical strength is unimaginable, possessing 25 Mountain Strength. Selling price 2 billion energy.
In this simulation, Su Xing made many attempts, so there were many more reward choices.
"Great Perfection Body Tempering realm… First Stage actually costs 2 billion energy!"
Su Xing sighed. With the improvement of cultivation, the rate at which the required energy increased exceeded his imagination.
"It seems… the establishment of the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion puppet organization is inevitable! Otherwise, my future energy will be severely lacking… and I may not even be able to improve my realm!"
Su Xing shook his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over the rewards one by one.
Originally, Su Xing would have decisively chosen the Great Perfection Body Tempering realm cultivation, after all, in that case, Su Xing's strength would directly double or more, close to 25 Mountain Strength!
But when Su Xing saw the introduction of the Heavenly Thunder Body Second Stage, he hesitated.
"Heavenly Thunder Body, enhancing spiritual energy perception, enhancing comprehension of the Thunder primordial energy… and even increasing the upper limit of physical potential!"
Su Xing's heart moved.
If he first obtained the Heavenly Thunder Body, and then broke through to the Great Perfection realm next time, wouldn't he be able to have even stronger power!?
"Hiss… If that's the case, it's really worth waiting for another round of simulation!"
Su Xing muttered.
"Since that's the case, then the Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection cultivation… combined with the Heavenly Thunder Body Second Stage choice, is the most appropriate!"
Su Xing thought so.
"These two rewards require 2 billion energy, and it will be enough after trading with Lu Yuanwu!"
Thinking of this, Su Xing couldn't wait to begin disguising and concealing his aura, setting off to prepare for a trade with Lu Yuanwu.
…
Half an hour later, Su Xing successfully returned to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
"I choose the Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection cultivation and the Heavenly Thunder Body Second Stage!"
Su Xing said eagerly.
[Ding, you have successfully brought out the Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection cultivation, spending 1 billion energy points, remaining energy 1,206,553,000 points.]
[You have successfully brought out the Heavenly Thunder Body (Second Stage), spending 1 billion energy, remaining energy 206,553,000 points.]
As the simulator prompt sound fell, two mysterious forces surged into Su Xing's body.
The first major change was Su Xing's cultivation.
Su Xing's cultivation, in just a few breaths, leaped two levels.
From the Nascent Soul Stage eight-fold, it directly broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection!
During this period, Su Xing kept his mind focused, trying his best to adjust to the huge changes in spiritual energy…
After a moment, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, and a golden light flashed.
"Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection, the total amount of my True Qi has doubled!"
"At this moment, even without relying on other methods, just the Burning Life Art is enough for me to fight beyond my realm!"
No matter what, the improvement of Qi Refining cultivation is always core.
After the breakthrough in cultivation, Su Xing's physical body also began to change rapidly.
A ray of thunder flashed in Su Xing's eyes, and then, faintly, surging thunder wrapped around Su Xing's physical body.
Su Xing felt that his strength had increased slightly, and the biggest change was the perception of the surrounding Thunder spiritual energy…
"Hiss, the Heavenly Thunder Body Second Stage has increased my Spiritual Root perception by at least 20%!"
Su Xing was overjoyed, indeed, the advancement of the Heavenly Thunder Body could also bring about an improvement in Su Xing's aptitude!
In fact, this is no secret.
In the Three Thousand Worlds, in addition to the common miscellaneous Spiritual Roots, True Spiritual Roots, Heavenly Spiritual Roots, Super Spiritual Roots, Empty Spiritual Roots, and other types of Spiritual Roots.
Another major influence on aptitude is various rare physiques.
For example, things like the Profound Yin Precious Body, the Ancient Saint Body, the Great Dao Divine Body, and so on…
The importance of physique to aptitude is no less than that of Spiritual Roots, and it may even be slightly more important!
Because various rare physiques not only affect the speed of cultivation but can also enhance combat power!
"Not bad… it seems I made the right choice with the Heavenly Thunder Body…"
"In the following simulations, when I break through to the Great Perfection realm again, the increase in strength will definitely be even more terrifying!"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction.
After experiencing the changes in strength, Su Xing began his new week's work.
"This week's goal is to completely repair the Wanmu Zhenren puppet…"
"Then experiment a few more times in the simulation to assess the risks of establishing the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion… so I can try to earn a large amount of energy!"
Su Xing muttered.
Although with the improvement of strength, there was almost no one on Blue Star who could threaten him, but the dangers from other worlds, Su Xing still had to be cautious.
…
Soon, a week passed, and the date was March 17th.
Su Xing was busy with the final part of the Wanmu Zhenren puppet's creation.
Carefully injecting the puppet core, he also took out dozens of top-grade spirit stones and placed them inside.
Finally, Su Xing imprinted his soul mark.
"Whew~ Finally, it's done!"
Su Xing let out a long sigh of relief.
"Little Wood, do a somersault for Master!"
Su Xing tried to give a command, and the Wanmu Zhenren in front of him obediently did a somersault, looking somewhat comical.
"Hmm, not bad… Although it's a puppet, because it was a living dead person before, and its body was well-preserved, so its movements are no different from ordinary people!"
Su Xing nodded slightly.
This Wanmu Zhenren puppet had poured a lot of Su Xing's heart and soul into it.
In addition to preserving its peak Return to Void Stage combat power, Su Xing also embedded a miniature Gathering Spirit Array inside the puppet.
In this way, Wanmu Zhenren could automatically absorb spiritual energy to recharge in the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, minimizing the consumption of spiritual liquid and spirit stones.
Moreover, Su Xing has two methods of controlling the puppet.
The first is through the soul mark, seizing control of the puppet. In this way, Su Xing can directly control its actions.
However, this requires Wanmu Zhenren to be within Su Xing's divine sense range to achieve.
The second control method is to give commands.
Although this high-level puppet does not have a real personality or consciousness, it can execute relatively complex commands.
For example, if Su Xing asked Wanmu Zhenren to trade on his behalf, it would not only be able to trade smoothly but could even haggle, just like a normal person…
"Alas, the only pity is that after becoming a puppet, the cultivation level is fixed…"
"To further enhance the puppet's combat power, unless my Puppet Dao improves, I can add higher-level material metals… or prepare higher-level magic treasures for it."
Su Xing shook his head slightly. In this aspect, ordinary puppets are incomparable to puppet cultivators.
After all, the upper limit of puppet cultivators is extremely high, while the upper limit of ordinary puppets is almost locked.
"However, the strength is basically enough… Currently, on Blue Star, the only one whose strength surpasses Wanmu is Long Laogou…"
"As long as Long Laogou doesn't take action himself, the Wanmu puppet is enough to deter all evildoers!"
Now that Wanmu Zhenren was completed, Su Xing had ten combat puppets he could use.
Su Xing could begin to have these puppets go out and trade with the major chambers of commerce.
However, before that, Su Xing planned to try the risks again in the next simulation.
"Calculating the time, it's time to meet with Jin Congxue…"
Su Xing muttered, then began his usual disguise and concealment of his aura.
This time, Su Xing planned to go in person, after all, each date with Jin Congxue was one of the few moments of relaxation.
A quarter of an hour later, Su Xing arrived at the villa.
He saw Jin Congxue, who was somewhat nervous and uneasy.
"Su Xing! Is that you?"
Jin Congxue's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
Su Xing smiled in response and said, "Of course it's me… Why are you so nervous?"
Jin Congxue let out a long sigh of relief after hearing this, patting her full chest and saying:
"Whew, scared me to death… The senior who came to trade earlier, I thought something happened to you!"
Seeing that Jin Congxue was genuinely worried about him, Su Xing felt a little moved.
"Don't worry, with the protection of senior experts within the organization, what kind of accident could happen to me?"
Su Xing comforted her, then changed the subject.
"By the way, you met Bai Senior last time, right? What do you think of him?"
Jin Congxue's eyes showed a solemn look after hearing this and said:
"His strength is unfathomable… No wonder you can refine so many pills, so there is a mysterious expert behind you!"
"That Bai Senior is probably at least a Martial Emperor-level powerhouse!"
Jin Congxue said this with a hint of awe in her eyes.
Martial Emperor powerhouses were top-tier powerhouses in the entire Daxia and even on Blue Star!
Su Xing smiled without speaking.
He couldn't help but think: If Jin Congxue knew that Su Xing, with whom she interacted daily, was actually a being beyond the Emperor Peak realm, the true number one powerhouse of the human race, what would the scene be like?
It would be quite interesting, wouldn't it?
Just as Su Xing was thinking, a look of worry appeared in Jin Congxue's eyes, and she hesitated for a moment, saying:
"Su Xing… The mysterious organization you're in, could it be some kind of bad existence? Does it have some kind of unspeakable secret?"
Su Xing was stunned after hearing Jin Congxue's words, then immediately reacted. Jin Congxue was asking if the organization he was in was a heretical organization that "betrayed the human race."
So Su Xing immediately answered in a serious tone:
"Don't worry, Sister Xue, I assure you that the organization I'm in absolutely exists to protect the human race and revitalize the human race!"
"It's just that due to certain special reasons, we are all beings who cannot be known to the public… We will only fight against alien races in secret!"
"So, please keep it a secret for me, don't tell anyone about me and the organization… not even your closest relatives!"
Seeing Su Xing's serious tone, Jin Congxue nodded obediently and said:
"Don't worry, I won't betray your trust!"
After Su Xing explained to Jin Congxue, the two began to chat while eating, and their relationship grew warmer.
When it was almost over, Jin Congxue handed over the goods from this week to Su Xing, and Su Xing also handed over 50,000 Abstinence Pills, saying:
"These are 50,000 pills, please help me apply for another second-order alien metal mine area copy…"
Jin Congxue nodded after hearing this and said, "Don't worry, this is what I should do!"
After Su Xing left, Jin Congxue looked at the ring in her hand and said with some self-blame:
"Su Xing's organization provides such important pills as Abstinence Pills to Daxia, how could they be traitors? Sigh, I'm such an idiot!"
…
Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven and exchanged the new week's goods for energy, thus increasing his simulation energy by more than 250 million.
And next week, the simulation energy Su Xing would receive could reach 300 million!
The Abstinence Pills were destined for the Daxia military and were traded by Jin Congxue on his behalf.
As for Su Xing himself, he traded Nourishing Essence Pills and Refining Internal Organs Pills with Lu Yuanwu.
This seemingly had a certain risk of being discovered, but it wasn't really.
Because on Blue Star, there were countless copies.
Among them, the props produced in the copies, and various pills, emerged endlessly, so it was not easy to associate them together.
As long as Su Xing didn't sell Nourishing Essence Pills through the Tarot Society, Lu Yuanwu wouldn't associate them.
This was also Su Xing's established policy.
Items sold through other means would no longer be sold through the Tarot Society.
For example, the previous Longevity Pills… and the future talismans, high-level pills, weapons, Su Xing didn't plan to sell them through the Tarot Society either.
Now, the Tarot Society was more like a protective shield for Su Xing, and it was also a channel for him to connect with Jin Congxue and learn about external information.
…
Time quickly came to the afternoon, the cooldown time was over, and Su Xing prepared to start a new round of simulation.
"Start simulation!"
[Ding! This simulation consumes 7,900 energy points, remaining energy 206,553,000 points, remaining simulation times unlimited.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Spend 100,000 energy points to draw a purple talent, spend 1 million energy to draw a golden legendary talent, do you want to draw?]
"Draw a golden quality talent!"
Su Xing silently said.
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the purple talent Geological Expert, the next time you draw a golden talent, the probability is 50%…]
[Geological Expert]: Purple talent, you have a special sensitivity to spiritual veins and special ores, and can relatively easily discover hidden spiritual veins and special ores.
In the real world, Su Xing's eyes lit up after seeing this talent.
"Whoa… Finally, a useful talent has appeared!"
Although it was a purple talent, this talent was perfect for Su Xing.
Finding spiritual veins could bring Su Xing cultivation resources… finding special ores, wouldn't that include alien metals? It could bring Su Xing energy!
"I just don't know how effective this talent is exactly!"
"If I can really use this talent to find spirit stones and alien metals, then I'll be making a fortune!"
Su Xing couldn't wait to experience it, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[In the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, you realize that you are in a simulation.]
[You trade with Lu Yuanwu, and nothing unexpected happens.]
[You give the Longevity Pills, high-level talismans, and so on to a few puppets and let them trade with other chambers of commerce.]
[Ten days later, you go to the Luotian copy.]
[Your Puppet Dao is improving day by day but is still at the small perfection level.]
[According to your speculation, the Great Perfection Puppet Dao skill is already terrifying, enough to refine puppets comparable to Immortal King realm cultivators.]
[And you still have a long way to go before reaching that goal.]
[With Luo Suying's introduction, you join the Descending Church.]
[In the following two years, you refine pills every day and consolidate your position within the church.]
[In the third year, you give the more than 200,000 pills you refined to the Daxia military.]
[At the same time, over the past two years, the puppet organization Celestial Mechanism Pavilion you established has brought you mountains of alien metals, various equipment, copy props…]
[With previous experience, you have prepared several sixth-order talismans for each puppet for protection.]
[Just by activating the talismans, each puppet can have the strength comparable to a Martial Emperor powerhouse!]
[In this way, the puppets themselves don't need to fight, and by relying on the talismans, they can greatly reduce the consumption of spirit stones and spiritual energy…]
In the real world, Su Xing's eyes
lit up after seeing this, and he slapped his forehead and said:
"That's right! How could I forget?"
"Puppets fighting themselves consume a lot of spiritual energy, which requires a long time to recharge…"
"But if the puppets just fight by activating talismans, it can completely reduce unnecessary energy consumption, and a puppet can operate for a longer time!"
Pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued:
"Moreover, with sixth-order talismans equipped, they can fight against Martial Emperor powerhouses… If there are seventh-order talismans, wouldn't it be possible to kill Martial Emperors!?"
"At that time, there will be no need to worry about these chambers of commerce's underhanded actions…"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, inadvertently exploring a new direction in the simulation.
Moreover, spiritual energy and spirit stones were precious resources for Su Xing.
As for talismans, Su Xing could inscribe dozens of fifth-order and several sixth-order talismans a day, which was completely enough for consumption!
As for the materials for inscribing talismans… beast skins, spirit ink, spirit paper, and so on, there were still many in the storage rings of Wanmu Zhenren and Five Elements Zhenren.
Su Xing wouldn't have to worry about insufficient materials for a long time.
"Not bad!"
Su Xing exclaimed, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[In the fourth year, in addition to consolidating your position within the Descending Church, you begin to search for the possible existence of spiritual veins.]
[You first think of the Immortal Martial Era copy, so you enter this copy.]
[You try to activate the "Geological Expert" talent but find that the range of this talent is smaller than you imagined.]
[You can only sense the existence of spiritual veins when you are very close to them, and you need to stay for a certain amount of time.]
[This range is roughly within a hundred zhang of having a special sensitivity to spiritual veins…]
[So, with no other choice, you can only measure every inch of the land of the Immortal Martial Era with your feet, hoping to find the location of spiritual veins.]
[You spent a year in the Immortal Martial Era copy, averaging about a hundred miles of geological detection per day, searching for the presence of spiritual veins and special ores.]
[The bad news is that you have surveyed nearly one-tenth of the Immortal Martial Continent's area and still haven't found a single spiritual vein.]
[The good news is that you've discovered quite a few alien metal veins. Although they are mostly second and third-order alien metals, if they can all be mined, the energy is still considerable.]
In the real world, Su Xing sighed after seeing this:
"Sure enough, in the era of spiritual energy depletion, spiritual veins are not that easy to find… I'm afraid the spiritual veins on the Immortal Martial Continent have been mostly exploited by Wanmu…"
"But fortunately, there are alien metal ores, which is not a loss! Of course… if I could go to Little Qingyun Realm, would it be possible to find hidden spiritual veins!"
Su Xing felt a little expectant, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[In the fifth year, to avoid being suspected, you can't stay in the Immortal Martial Era copy all year round.]
[So you set aside a few months each year to explore the Immortal Martial copy. You record the location of each alien metal vein for future use.]
[Thus, two years have passed…]
(End of chapter)
