Chapter 250: Precious Vermilion Bird Feather, Achieving the Perfection of Body Refinement! (Two-in-one, 10,000 words)
[In the seventh year, you schemed to eliminate the leader of the Natural faction and took their place…]
[In the eighth year, you killed the Dragon Protector and became the leader of the Blue Star Descendant Sect.]
[You knew that Blood Three would descend upon Blue Star three years later, but before that, Blue Star was under your control.]
[Therefore, you utilized your Geology Expert talent and spent more and more time searching for spirit veins and exotic metal ore veins.]
[In the eleventh year, you had explored over half of the land of the Immortal Martial Continent, but still hadn't found a single spirit vein.]
[However, luckily, you discovered more exotic metal ore veins, and you meticulously recorded them on the map you had drawn.]
[In the same year, Blood Three arrived at the Descendant Sect, you offered the Spirit Vein Dragon, gained Blood Three's trust, and obtained a通行证 (pass).]
[This year, Blood Three asked you to intensify your investigation of the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion.]
[After sending Blood Three away, you continued to diligently search for traces of spirit veins…]
In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly after seeing this.
"At this point, my cultivation has reached the peak of the Unity Stage, and I cannot break through for now, so the Spirit Vein Dragon is not needed in this simulation…"
"On the other hand, the branch containing the Wood and Fire Dao can be used to attempt to comprehend the Wood and Fire Origin."
Pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued:
"However, what surprised me even more was this Geology Expert talent… With this talent, finding exotic metal ore veins has become much easier…"
"I just wonder if there are still any spirit veins in the Immortal Martial Era copy?"
Su Xing was a little curious, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[In the twelfth year, you continued to explore the Immortal Martial Continent and discovered many exotic metal ore areas, the energy contained within them was quite considerable.]
[But to your disappointment, you still hadn't found a single spirit vein.]
[Time flew by, and three years passed…]
[In the fifteenth year, one day, you suddenly sensed a special ore vein.]
[This was not the exotic metal ore vein you had encountered before, but a spirit vein!]
[However, this spirit vein was too weak, and you only vaguely sensed some spirit stones buried underground.]
[Without hesitation, you quickly began to excavate this area.]
[After an hour, you had dug 500 meters underground and found over a hundred low-grade spirit stones.]
[But as you continued to dig deeper, you sensed that there seemed to be even more spirit stones below!]
[This excited you, and you continued to dig with renewed vigor.]
[Three days later, you finally discovered a small spirit ore vein hidden a thousand meters underground.]
[The quality of this spirit ore vein was not high, only low-grade, but the number of spirit stones was considerable.]
[Above the ore vein, there was also a small formation that not only shielded the spirit vein's aura but also prevented the slow diffusion of spiritual energy from the spirit vein.]
[But this was a stroke of luck for you, you spent three days completely excavating the entire ore vein.]
[This ore vein was located several kilometers deep underground and stretched for ten kilometers.]
[After completely excavating it, you obtained 300,000 low-grade spirit stones…]
[After finding the spirit vein, you continued to survey the Immortal Martial Continent…]
[In the seventeenth year, you confirmed that you had traversed every corner of the continent, meticulously recorded the locations of all potentially existing exotic metal ore veins, and returned to Blue Star.]
Su Xing looked at the simulation text in front of him, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"It seems that in this era of declining spiritual energy, it's not entirely devoid of spirit veins!"
"This spirit vein probably existed thousands of years ago, but perhaps Elder Wan Mu overlooked its existence… and that's why it has been preserved until now."
"300,000 low-grade spirit stones, although not many, are still a good gain for me…"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, then silently said:
"Use Immersive Simulation…"
[Ding…]
…
An hour later, Su Xing returned to Blue Star, and at this moment, all the information about the exotic metal ore veins in the Immortal Martial Era copy was stored in his mind, including that spirit vein!
"Hmm, not bad!"
"There are nearly a thousand first to fourth-order exotic metal ore veins… among them, eighty-seven third-order exotic metal ore veins, and sixteen fourth-order exotic metal ore veins…"
"These ore veins are enough for me to mine a lot of exotic metals!"
Su Xing was very satisfied with this.
Previously, he had found it difficult to find exotic metals, but with the "Geology Expert" talent, finding exotic metal ore veins had become much easier!
His gaze returned to the simulation panel.
[In the eighteenth year, you went to the Beast Taming Realm copy and killed hundreds of Legendary妖兽 (beasts) and three妖帝 (beast emperors).]
[In the following period, you hoped to find more exotic metal ore areas in the Beast Taming Realm.]
[You discovered that the Beast Taming Realm also had special metals called 精金 (refined gold) and 秘银 (secret silver), these metals could barely be classified as third or fourth-order exotic metals in terms of strength.]
[Because exotic metals are actually a general term for various strange metals, they contain abundant energy.]
[Every year, you would spend three to five months searching for exotic metal ore veins in the Beast Taming Realm.]
[In this way, two years passed.]
[In the twentieth year, your comprehension of the Wood and Fire Dao had reached the入门级 (entry level) stage several years ago.]
[You remembered that there was one last遗迹 (ruin) in the Immortal Martial Era copy waiting for you to explore.]
[So you entered the 御火宗 (Imperial Fire Sect) ruins, hoping to find the secrets in the core.]
[You found that the difficulty of breaking the restrictions in the core area of the Imperial Fire Sect ruins was beyond your expectations.]
[Although your comprehension of the Fire Origin had reached the entry level, it was still not enough to break the restrictions.]
[So you continued to diligently cultivate, and in this way, three years passed.]
[In the twenty-third year, your comprehension of the Fire Origin took another step forward, although it did not reach the 小成 (minor accomplishment) stage, it was enough to break the restrictions here.]
[You successfully broke the restrictions and entered the core area of the Imperial Fire Sect ruins.]
[You discovered that the core area was actually a special地心火 (earth core fire) place.]
[The temperature of this flame was so high that even you felt a little hot.]
[You searched within a hundred meters with your divine sense, but did not find any傀儡 (puppet) traces.]
[Finally, you turned your gaze to the青铜石棺 (bronze stone coffin)…]
[You opened the bronze stone coffin and saw the Imperial Fire Elder…]
[But the Imperial Fire Elder was not a puppet, but a desiccated corpse!]
[In the hands of the corpse, there was a储物戒指 (storage ring) and a留音玉简 (sound transmission jade slip).]
[You probed the storage ring with your divine sense and found that it contained a mountain of various法宝 (magical treasures),炼器之法 (refining methods)… the Imperial Fire Sect's inheritance… and even countless high-level ores.]
[You happily put the storage ring away and then looked at the jade slip.]
[The Imperial Fire Elder left a message before his death.]
[You probed the jade slip with your divine sense and received this message.]
[It turned out that after the Imperial Fire Elder took the Yellow Spring Pill and fell into a deep sleep, he had woken up once in the middle.]
[And the reason for waking up was because of a朱雀尾羽 (Vermilion Bird feather), a feather from the top ancient神兽 (divine beast) that contained the last trace of the Vermilion Bird's true spirit consciousness, which awakened the Imperial Fire Elder.]
[After waking up, the Imperial Fire Elder discovered the changes in his body, and he was very certain that he had become a pawn in someone else's hands, about to be transformed into a puppet without any consciousness.]
[The Imperial Fire Elder was unwilling to accept this, so he held the Vermilion Bird feather in his mouth, hoping to use the Vermilion Bird's "power of rebirth" to escape his fate of becoming a puppet.]
[But the final result was undoubtedly a failure.]
[The Imperial Fire Elder did not become a puppet, but completely disappeared from this world, his soul reincarnated…]
[After receiving the message in the jade slip, you looked surprised, the Vermilion Bird feather, this was a precious material from the body of a top ancient divine beast in ancient times!]
[You silently prayed for the Imperial Fire Elder, then pried open his mouth and indeed found a thumb-thick, bright red feather.]
[After your inspection, you were surprised to find that the remaining Vermilion Bird true spirit had completely dissipated…]
[Just as you were feeling a little disappointed, you suddenly felt a stir within your body…]
[You were stunned for a moment, then realized that this stirring came from the神通 (divine ability) you had mastered, the 離火術 (Separating Fire Technique)!]
[An understanding arose in your heart, the Separating Fire Technique, originated from one of the ancient divine fires, the 南明離火 (Southern Ming Separating Fire).]
[And the Southern Ming Separating Fire symbolizes rebirth from destruction, not only possessing terrifying destructive power, but also nurturing life!]
[Just as you were lost in thought, a red light flashed from the Vermilion Bird feather in front of you and completely merged into your body…]
[You were startled and quickly checked your body for any changes.]
[After your examination, you found that there were no abnormalities in your body.]
[You had a sudden idea, and used the Separating Fire Technique to summon a wisp of Separating Fire.]
[Sure enough, you sensed a previously unseen vitality within the Separating Fire… and a true spirit!]
[But this true spirit had fallen into a deep sleep…]
[You used the Separating Fire Technique, but found that there were no changes.]
[You guessed that perhaps after cultivating the Separating Fire Technique to perfection, you could awaken the sleeping Vermilion Bird true spirit…]
In the real world, Su Xing looked at the simulation text in front of him and was completely stunned.
"Damn… the Imperial Fire Sect ruins, the Vermilion Bird feather! A treasure containing the Vermilion Bird's spirit!?"
Su Xing couldn't believe it, why would a mere Imperial Fire Sect have inherited such a treasure.
Based on Su Xing's common sense, he knew that the Vermilion Bird was a true divine beast, a terrifying powerhouse even in the Immortal Realm.
Even if the Imperial Fire Sect's ancestors had once given birth to an Immortal, compared to the Vermilion Bird, it would be a huge difference!
Even if it was raised two or three levels, it wouldn't be able to touch its heels…
"Hiss~ This Immortal Martial world is indeed extraordinary!"
"The Imperial Fire Sect actually has the inheritance of the Vermilion Bird feather… the Five Elements Sect has the Five Elements Technique… the Wan Mu Sect has that branch of the innate Fusang Divine Tree!"
"These three items… don't seem like something a small thousand world could possess… If you possessed one, it might be luck, but three at the same time!"
"Could it be… that this world has some connection with a large thousand world?"
Su Xing was filled with doubts.
Blue Star, including the various copy worlds around Blue Star, was truly extraordinary!
From the perspective of world levels, only Blue Star could barely be considered a small thousand world.
As for the other copy worlds, they couldn't even be considered small thousand worlds, they could only be considered small worlds…
But even so, the secrets possessed by Blue Star and the surrounding copy worlds were almost comparable to a large thousand world!
Su Xing frowned slightly, various thoughts flashing through his mind, but he couldn't connect them completely.
"Soon… as I continue to explore Blue Star, perhaps I can really find the reason why so many powerful experts have paid attention to Blue Star!"
Su Xing muttered to himself, he always felt that there was an invisible net on Blue Star, connecting everything…
"Sigh, but my current strength is still too low…"
"After this simulation, I will first enter the Perfection of Body Refinement stage! Then I will enter the Three Thousand Worlds and seek opportunities!"
Su Xing took a deep breath and looked at the simulation panel.
[After carefully burying the Imperial Fire Elder, you left the ruins.]
[The Vermilion Bird spirit attached to the Separating Fire did not cause any changes to you.]
[In the following period, you continued to search for any potentially existing exotic metal ore veins.]
[Soon, two years passed…]
[In the twenty-fifth year, you explored most of the Beast Taming Realm and did not find any traces of spirit veins.]
[But you did find quite a few exotic metal ore veins.]
[At this point, there were only three years left before the arrival of the妖圣 (Demon Saint), and you prepared to make a final exploration of the Beast Taming Realm during this time.]
[In this way, three years passed.]
[In the twenty-eighth year, you recorded the locations of almost all the exotic metal ore veins in the Beast Taming Realm.]
Su Xing saw this and silently said:
"Use Immersive Simulation, duration 1 hour…"
[Ding…]
After the Immersive Simulation ended, Su Xing returned to the real world, a look of surprise in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that the number of exotic metal ore veins contained in the Beast Taming Realm was even greater than that of the Immortal Martial World!"
"This Geology Expert talent is truly a divine skill!"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, he knew that the number of copy worlds containing exotic metal ore areas was not many.
Generally, only sufficiently high-level copies would contain a large number of them.
Currently, the ones Su Xing knew were the Beast Taming Realm, the Immortal Martial World, and the Blood Demon Cave copy.
Only the last one remained unexplored.
"In this simulation, I should try to record all the possible coordinates of the exotic metal ore veins…"
"In the future, in reality, I can personally go mining and earn a large amount of simulation energy!"
Su Xing nodded slightly and looked at the simulation panel again.
[After leaving the Beast Taming Realm, you rushed to the 镇妖关 (Suppress Demon Pass).]
[A month later, the Demon Saint arrived.]
[You used the same trick again, fighting the Demon Saint on par to buy time.]
[In the blink of an eye, five years passed.]
[In the thirty-third year, the Demon Saint discovered something amiss and left the Suppress Demon Pass.]
[You knew that the Suppress Demon Pass would be destroyed in seven years, so you prepared to seize the last bit of time and explore the Blood Demon Realm.]
[You spent a full seven years exploring the Blood Demon Realm, your footsteps measuring every inch of the land.]
[You did not find any traces of spirit veins, presumably Elder Long had already explored them completely a thousand years ago.]
[But you did discover quite a few exotic metal ore veins, no fewer than in the Immortal Martial World, and you recorded the coordinates of these ore veins one by one.]
[In the fortieth year, news came that the Suppress Demon Pass had been breached, and at this time, you had just finished exploring the Blood Demon Realm and returned to Blue Star.]
In the real world, Su Xing silently said:
"Use Immersive Simulation…"
[Ding…]
An hour later, Su Xing returned to reality, a smile in his eyes.
"Not bad! Three copy worlds, with over 300 third and fourth-order ore veins… this is enough for me to mine for a long time!"
"I'll mine them when I have time later, and I won't be short of energy anymore…"
Su Xing decided to remind Jin Congxue to expand the Tarot Society's scale and recruit more low-level professionals to refine exotic metal ore, bringing Su Xing more exotic metal income.
"Whew… but the fortieth year has arrived, in this simulation, I must break through to the Perfection of Body Refinement stage!"
Su Xing muttered, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[Several months later, the giant beast descended upon Blue Star and swallowed the entire Da Xia country.]
[You erected a protective sword罡 (aura), and entered the giant beast's abdomen.]
[Then you took out the Awakening Pill and swallowed it in one gulp!]
[Because the thunder region within the giant beast's abdominal space contained a large amount of 雷之本源 (Thunder Origin).]
[And Thunder Origin was one of the most difficult Origin powers for you to obtain so far, because it could only be captured in the spring thunder of the Jingzhe day and in thunder regions.]
[The others, Wood Origin, Fire Origin, Strength Origin, Sword Origin, etc., you had stable ways to obtain them.]
[You took the Awakening Pill, coupled with the Great Wisdom state, and your speed of comprehending Origin powers increased a hundredfold!]
[Under this greatly enhanced comprehension state, you entered a large thunder region!]
[Boom boom boom! Terrifying thunderbolts, like coiling dragons, struck at you fiercely.]
[The protective sword aura blocked most of the damage, and the remaining wisps of thunder, along with the Thunder Origin, continuously tempered your physical body.]
[Injuries quickly appeared on your body, but under the effect of the Little Strong talent, they quickly healed…]
[After an hour, this thunder region gradually dissipated, and you moved on to the next thunder region.]
[In this way, after repeatedly entering three large thunder regions.]
[Your comprehension of Thunder Origin had reached the entry level!]
[Such a fast comprehension speed was due not only to the Awakening Pill's enhancement but also to the effect of the Heavenly Thunder Body.]
[And during this process, your physical body gradually approached its limit…]
[In the next three days, you continuously pushed yourself to the limit, constantly absorbing and comprehending Thunder Origin…]
[Soon, three days passed, and you had visited over a dozen large thunder regions, and at this moment, you felt that you were only one step away from finally breaking through the limit!]
[So you resolutely stepped into the last thunder region!]
[Terrifying thunderbolts struck again, but you were already accustomed to it, skillfully tempering your physical body and comprehending Thunder Origin…]
[Finally, you seemed to hear a crisp sound, a certain shackle on your body was successfully broken!]
[Congratulations on becoming a Perfection of Body Refinement cultivator!]
[But you frowned slightly, because your comprehension of Thunder Origin was still lacking a final bit before it could reach the minor accomplishment stage!]
[So, you made a crazy decision!]
[You temporarily deactivated the protective sword aura, and terrifying coiling thunderbolts directly struck your physical body.]
[The terrifying thunderbolts, along with the excruciating pain, instantly pierced through your physical body.]
[Even a Perfection of Body Refinement-level body was quickly damaged under this destructive power of thunder, your skin began to rapidly carbonize, and your vitality began to rapidly diminish…]
[But soon, several types of energy surged within your body, quickly repairing your injuries.]
[The first to take effect was the Little Strong talent, which quickly restored your physical body.]
[But what surprised you was that the Heavenly Thunder Body and the comprehension of Wood Origin were also rapidly repairing your physical body, making your vitality flourish again.]
[Before the next thunderbolt struck, you gritted your teeth and rushed out of the thunder region.]
[At this moment, you could feel that your body was filled with a large amount of Thunder Origin, you endured the pain and began to comprehend the Thunder Origin…]
[Soon, a day passed…]
[Your injuries had now mostly healed.]
[But what excited you even more was that your comprehension of Thunder Origin had successfully entered the minor accomplishment level!]
[So, you summoned the protective sword aura again, wanting to see if you could find other thunder regions.]
[But to your dismay, the thunder regions had already dissipated, and what remained in the void were numerous spatial turbulences.]
[You had a sudden idea and tried to comprehend the Spatial Origin contained in the void…]
[You vaguely sensed a trace of the Spatial Origin's rhythm, but the spatial turbulences were too terrifying… This was not a power that could be touched by anyone below the Immortal level.]
[After only enduring for a quarter of an hour, you were completely annihilated within it.]
[You died!]
[Ding, this simulation is over!]
After the simulation ended, a hint of surprise flashed in Su Xing's eyes.
"Actually, the spatial turbulences within this giant beast also contain Spatial Origin? This is good news!"
If he could comprehend the Spatial Origin, Su Xing could try to expand the area of the Spirit Field Cave Heaven and plant more spirit rice and spirit herbs!
The amount of spirit liquid produced would also increase!
"Legend has it that in the Immortal Cultivation world, there are powerful experts who can go to the nine heavens and comprehend the Spatial Dao… Could it be that the nine heavens refer to the void?"
Su Xing's eyes lit up, if he could comprehend the Spatial Dao, it would be a huge boost for him!
If he comprehended it to a certain level, Su Xing could even tear open the void himself and travel to other worlds!
"Sigh, but that's still too far away for me… Right now, I should still focus on improving my cultivation!"
Thinking of this, Su Xing's heart pounded.
Perfection of Body Refinement cultivation, about to be obtained!
Su Xing couldn't wait to look at the rewards of this simulation.
[Geology Expert]: Purple talent, price 1 million energy points.
[Twenty Years of Alchemy Experience]: After exchange, the current alchemy comprehension will slightly increase, price 10 million energy points.
[Thunder Origin (Minor Accomplishment)}: The basic structure of the Thunder Dao, possesses terrifying destructive power, has an additional damage bonus against evil spirits and ghosts, price 1.5 billion energy points.
[Fire Origin (Minor Accomplishment)}: The basic structure of the Fire Dao, contains terrifying power, can enhance the power of fire-type spells. Price 1.5 billion energy points.
[Perfection of Body Refinement Stage One]: The limit stage of mortal body refinement cultivators, Perfection of Body Refinement, can briefly traverse the void, physical strength is beyond imagination, possesses the strength of thirty mountains. Price 2 billion energy points.
"Minor accomplishment level Thunder Origin actually costs 1.5 billion energy points?"
Su Xing frowned slightly, the energy required was beyond his expectations.
"Bring out the cultivation level, plus Thunder Origin comprehension, the total energy needed is 3.5 billion…"
"As for the Geology Expert talent, I don't need to bring it out for now."
Su Xing muttered.
Because for Su Xing, the Geology Expert talent was simply for finding exotic metal ore veins, and Su Xing's memory already contained the coordinates of many ore veins.
He could just spend some time mining them.
"Currently, I have about 250 million energy points, plus the goods from Lu Yuanwu this week… I'll also exchange some of Elder Wan Mu's inheritance into energy, it should be enough!"
Su Xing suddenly noticed that his comprehension of Fire Origin had also reached the minor accomplishment level.
"Strange, it wasn't at the entry level, how did it become minor accomplishment level?"
Su Xing raised an eyebrow, and after careful thought, he believed that there was only one reason.
The Vermilion Bird feather!
Perhaps, in addition to changing the Separating Fire Technique, it had also increased Su Xing's comprehension of Fire Origin!
"This is a pleasant surprise!"
"Breaking through to the Great Ascension stage… requires comprehending one Origin power to the Great Accomplishment stage, and also requires sufficient divine sense and spiritual energy, this Vermilion Bird feather came at the right time!"
Su Xing muttered.
Previously in the Luo Tian copy, Su Xing had asked about the requirements for breaking through to the Great Ascension stage of Qi Refinement.
At that time, Su Xing's master's answer was that he needed to comprehend one Origin power to the Great Accomplishment stage or above, the more perfect the better… when he broke through to the Unity Stage, it would be very beneficial!
"Now my Qi Refinement cultivation has also reached the peak of the Unity Stage… and the Great Ascension stage is not far away…"
"Everything is developing in a good direction!"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, then began to change his appearance and conceal his aura, going to meet Lu Yuanwu.
After trading with Lu Yuanwu, Su Xing did not immediately return to school, but went to the Immortal Martial Era copy.
He expertly entered the Wan Mu Sect ruins and then entered the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
Su Xing selected several thousand low-grade magical artifacts and talismanic artifacts that he didn't need and exchanged them for simulation energy.
When he had enough simulation energy, Su Xing silently said:
"I choose to bring out the Perfection of Body Refinement cultivation… and the Thunder Origin (Minor Accomplishment level) comprehension!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the simulation device's prompt.
[Ding, you have successfully brought out the Perfection of Body Refinement cultivation level, spending 2 billion energy points, remaining energy 1.53553 billion energy points.]
[You have successfully brought out the Thunder Origin comprehension (Minor Accomplishment), spending 1.5 billion energy points, remaining energy 35.53 million energy points.]
As the prompt sounded, two mysterious energies poured into Su Xing's body.
The first thing Su Xing felt was a huge increase in his physical strength.
This energy continuously changed Su Xing's physical body strength, the entire process was extremely comfortable, without the usual pain experienced by body refinement cultivators.
As if this cultivation level had always belonged to Su Xing…
And at the same time, in the ruins where Su Xing was located, within a radius of a hundred miles, thunder rolled, as if a huge storm was about to brew.
But this storm never fell.
A moment later, when Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, his strength had already reached the Perfection of Body Refinement level!
Feeling the surge of power in his body, Su Xing was filled with wonder.
"The Heavenly Thunder Body has increased my physical body's upper limit…"
"Now, with the terrifying strength of thirty mountains, even without relying on any other means… I can fight against Demon Saint mid-stage, or even late-stage cultivators!"
If coupled with the protective sword aura, Su Xing was confident that even a Transcending Tribulation cultivator would be a worthy opponent!
As for the even higher Immortal Realm…
To be honest, Su Xing was not sure, the Immortal Realm and the Transcending Tribulation Realm, although only one realm apart.
But it was truly the difference between mortals and immortals!
The gap between them was enormous!
Unless Su Xing mastered the Heavenly Sword Technique to perfection, the protective sword aura to perfection, he would have the confidence to challenge an Immortal across realms at the Great Ascension (Perfection) stage…
And the rewards obtained this time brought changes to Su Xing, not just his cultivation reaching a new level.
Su Xing's heart moved, and a purple light surged from his palm.
"Tsk tsk, Daoist minor divine ability, Palm Thunder, learned without a teacher!"
Su Xing exclaimed in admiration.
Thunder Origin was the most fundamental element of all thunder in the world, directly connected to the Thunder Dao.
It was no exaggeration to say that with this Thunder Origin, Su Xing's speed of learning thunder spells would be countless times faster, and the spiritual energy spells he cast that involved thunder would also contain thunder.
It would have a huge restraint effect on evil spirits and monsters.
"Whew… after reaching Perfection of Body Refinement, I will go to the Small Green Cloud Realm and enter the Ten Thousand Mountains…"
"Even if I'm captured by Tiger Immortal, I can still simulate for several decades, explore the Three Thousand Worlds, and strive to improve my body refinement cultivation."
Su Xing muttered to himself.
"Right, since I've come to the Immortal Martial Era copy, I might as well mine two exotic metal ore veins…"
Su Xing recalled the memories in his mind, within a thousand miles of the Wan Mu Sect ruins, there were two fourth-order exotic metal ore veins.
Su Xing did not hesitate, flew with his sword, and arrived at the ore veins after a short time.
Then, holding the Ink Ice Sword, Su Xing wrapped his Yuan Qi around it and began to dig in the ground.
In ordinary ore veins, exotic metal ores were relatively scattered, so if Su Xing wanted to mine an entire ore vein, he needed to dig over a large area within a radius of a mile.
Moreover, high-level exotic metals were often hidden deep underground.
Therefore, Su Xing spent five days mining two exotic metal ore veins and mined about 3,000 cubic meters of fourth-order exotic metal ore.
These 3,000 cubic meters of exotic metal ore were not very pure, directly exchanged, they were worth about 3 billion energy points, if they were given to Jin Congxue to refine, they could probably refine about 300 tons of fourth-order exotic metal.
Converted, that's close to 6 billion simulation energy points!
"Whew, just one week, earning 6 billion simulation energy points?"
"That's pretty fast!"
"I just wonder how long it will take Jin Congxue to refine the exotic metal? I should have her find more professionals to specialize in refining exotic metal!"
Currently, exotic metals were Su Xing's largest source of energy, so Su Xing planned to focus all of the Tarot Society's main business on processing and mining exotic metals.
He glanced at the time, it was now 3:00 AM on March 24th.
Su Xing was ready to leave the copy and return to Blue Star.
At noon, Su Xing met Jin Congxue as scheduled.
After having lunch together, Su Xing took out several storage rings and gave them to Jin Congxue.
After Jin Congxue saw the items in the storage rings, she was immediately shocked and asked:
"Are these the exotic metals mined by the elders? Hiss… these are all fourth-order exotic metals? Where did you find them?"
Su Xing smiled mysteriously and said:
"Cough cough, this is an organizational secret, I can't tell you!"
Jin Congxue rolled her eyes charmingly and snorted, then mysteriously asked:
"Su Xing… can you tell the elders that I want to join your organization?"
Su Xing was stunned for a moment when he saw the eager look on Jin Congxue's little face.
Letting Jin Congxue join the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion…
But the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion didn't exist at all, it was created by Su Xing himself, with a team of puppet members, specifically to collect energy for him!
Seeing Jin Congxue's eager little eyes, Su Xing felt a little embarrassed to refuse directly, so he said:
"Cough cough, Xue Jie, your strength is too low…"
"Our organization is very dangerous! For your safety… I don't recommend that you join!"
Jin Congxue rolled her eyes and then exuded a hint of aura, saying proudly:
"Haha, didn't expect that! Big sister has successfully advanced! Now I'm a Heavenly King level boss!"
"Big sister will protect you from now on! How about it, is my strength enough to join now?"
Su Xing, although wanting to say no, felt it was inappropriate.
So Su Xing thought for a moment and said:
"Cough cough, actually, Bai… Elder Bai came to you to assess you a while ago, and he told me after he went back that you performed well and are now qualified to become a peripheral member of the organization!"
"From now on, I am your superior… all of your organizational actions need to be reported to me."
"Of course, you need to keep absolute secrecy about everything related to the organization… the organization will also give you some special rewards!"
After hearing Su Xing's words, Jin Congxue nodded repeatedly.
Then Jin Congxue showed a look of lingering fear and shock, saying:
"Su Xing… these talismans, were they also refined by the elders in the organization?"
"The effect is truly too powerful! I have never seen such powerful props!"
"You don't know, when I was doing the advancement task, I had just dealt with one boss, but then another Heavenly King level boss suddenly killed me… and then in a hurry, I activated this talisman!"
Pausing for a moment, Jin Congxue recalled:
"And guess what?"
"Swish, a ten-zhang long golden light flew out and directly cut the Heavenly King level boss in two!"
"That was a Heavenly King level boss! It was just killed like that…"
"Luckily, that's how I successfully advanced to Heavenly King level."
Su Xing nodded slightly, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes, accommodating Jin Congxue's little vanity.
But in fact, when he heard about the ten-zhang golden light, Su Xing knew that she had activated a sixth-order Golden Blade Talisman, enough to instantly kill a Martial Emperor level boss.
Using this talisman was truly overkill.
But Su Xing didn't criticize Jin Congxue, he just took out another talisman and gave it to Jin Congxue, saying:
"Xue Jie, these talismans are only for your own use… Don't let others know, understand?"
"And don't use them unless it's a matter of life and death…"
Jin Congxue nodded obediently, then asked with a smile:
"Hehe, of course! I will keep the organization's secrets!"
"I just wonder what the first task the organization will give me is?"
Su Xing pointed to the storage ring in Jin Congxue's hand and said:
"Your first task is to recruit more professionals to refine exotic metal ores!"
"There will be a continuous supply of exotic metals in the future, you need to refine them as quickly as possible and then hand them over to me…"
Jin Congxue nodded, playfully saluted, and said seriously:
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
…
After Su Xing left the villa, he detoured and returned to school, entering the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.
This week, the Tarot Society provided Su Xing with goods worth over 300 million energy points!
On the afternoon of March 24th, the simulation cooldown was not yet complete, and Su Xing thought about his next simulation goals.
"After reaching Perfection of Body Refinement… my cultivation can be further improved, so going to the Three Thousand Worlds and entering the Ten Thousand Mountains is the most beneficial!"
"At the same time, I should also further explore whether there is a chance to leave the Ten Thousand Mountains and reach the Green Cloud Sect…"
"As for the other black world passage, I can also try… to see if I can traverse the void with my physical body and enter another space?"
Su Xing nodded slightly, after reaching the Perfection of Body Refinement stage, he wouldn't have to worry too much about his cultivation until he reached the Transcending Tribulation Realm.
Because of the existence of the Nine Turn Pill, plus the high-level blood and flesh essence in the Ten Thousand Mountains, Su Xing's body refinement cultivation would eventually be able to reach the peak of Perfection.
"But… after reaching the Perfection stage, it will probably become even more difficult for body refinement to improve further…"
Su Xing sighed softly.
Great Ascension cultivators have a lifespan of 5,000 years.
Ordinary cultivators, wanting to improve one cultivation level, probably take two or three hundred years, and if they want to break through a small bottleneck, it often takes five hundred years of seclusion.
As for body refinement… it's even more difficult than Qi Refinement!
"However… after entering the Three Thousand Worlds, perhaps I can try to find a body refinement method to improve my body refinement realm?"
Su Xing pondered.
"Besides that, I also need to quickly reach the Great Ascension stage in Qi Refinement…"
"Currently, the only thing I need to break through to the Great Ascension stage is the three corresponding attribute Origins of my spiritual root… Wood, Fire, and Thunder, choose one of them to comprehend to perfection, and break through to the Great Ascension stage!"
"Although I will need to comprehend all three Origins after reaching the Great Ascension
stage… but for now, choosing one to comprehend to perfection will do!"
Su Xing pondered for a moment and decided to improve Fire Origin first.
Because of the existence of the branch, Su Xing could comprehend Wood and Fire Origin at any time.
Plus, with the Vermilion Bird feather, Su Xing would find it easier to comprehend Fire Origin.
Coupled with the Awakening Pill, he only needed to use Immersive Simulation several times to comprehend Fire Origin to perfection!
"Whew, the simulation time has finally cooled down, it's time to start simulating!"
Su Xing's heart moved, and he silently said, "Start simulation!"
[Ding! This simulation will consume 8,000 energy points, remaining energy 312.33 million energy points, remaining simulation times unlimited.]
[Simulation starts!]
[Spending 100,000 energy points to draw a purple talent, spending 1 million energy points to draw a golden legendary talent, do you want to draw?]
"Whew~ I'll try to upgrade the golden talent probability when I have more energy…"
Su Xing muttered:
"But right now, of course, I'll choose to draw a golden talent!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the simulation device's prompt:
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the golden talent Devour Heaven, the guaranteed probability is reset to zero, the next time you draw a golden talent, the probability will be 10%…]
(End of chapter)
Chapter 251: Golden Talent Devour Heaven, Re-entering Tiger Immortal Village! (Two-in-one, seeking monthly tickets~)
"Hmm? Actually… another golden-quality talent appeared!"
Su Xing felt a surge of joy. His simulation probability had only accumulated to 50%, and he had already successfully drawn a golden talent!
It's worth noting that the "Lucky Star" talent has no effect on simulation talent draws.
And based on the simulation device's nature, being able to draw a golden talent meant that Su Xing's luck was truly excellent!
"Tsk tsk… I just wonder what the effect of this golden talent, Devour Heaven, is?"
Su Xing's eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at the talent description.
[Devour Heaven]: Golden talent, you can devour substances containing life energy and digest them at an astonishing speed, strengthening your physical body and accelerating your cultivation.
"Hiss… this seems to be the cultivation-oriented talent I've always dreamed of!"
Su Xing's eyes lit up.
The effect of Devour Heaven was somewhat similar to the "Glutton" talent he had drawn before.
Both accelerate cultivation through devouring substances!
It's conceivable that the golden Devour Heaven would likely provide a much stronger boost to energy than the "Glutton" talent!
"Hiss… perhaps, even after reaching Perfection of Body Refinement, my body refinement cultivation speed won't slow down at all!"
Su Xing muttered, his gaze expectantly falling on the simulation panel.
[In the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, you realized that you were in a simulation.]
[You went to trade with Lu Yuanwu, and nothing unexpected happened.]
[Ten days later, you went to the Luo Tian copy.]
In the real world, Su Xing's heart moved after seeing this, and he silently said:
"Use Immersive Simulation, duration 24 hours!"
[Ding, you have successfully used Immersive Simulation, spending 2.4 million energy points, remaining energy 309.93 million energy points.]
The simulation device's prompt sounded, and Su Xing's field of vision changed.
The next second, Su Xing found himself in the grand hall.
Only this time, it seemed a little different from before.
Su Xing's master was no longer the Supreme Elder Luo Song, but another Supreme Elder named Wu Ge.
Wu Ge was a towering elder, three meters tall and as strong as a tiger, but with a constant smile on his face.
Information about Wu Ge flashed through Su Xing's mind.
One of the eighteen Supreme Elders of the Luo Tian Sect, a Scattered Immortal who had achieved immortality for a thousand years… and a Scattered Immortal who had cultivated a Heavenly Immortal Body!
"My current strength is Perfection of Body Refinement Stage One… equivalent to Great Ascension of Qi Refinement!"
"And my age in the Luo Tian copy is definitely still under a hundred years old, but I don't know how old Luo Xiao Chuan is?"
"So, I now meet the requirements of the First-Class Immortal Seed! Under a hundred years old, Perfection of Body Refinement stage!"
"I wonder if there will be any differences this time?"
Several thoughts flashed through Su Xing's mind.
Now that his strength had increased, he naturally had to come to this Luo Tian copy to try it out…
Just as Su Xing was lost in thought, he saw the burly elder above say to him:
"Good disciple, go to the back mountain and invite Shen Nong Shixiong to attend the Luo Tian Grand Assembly…"
"Yes, Master!" Su Xing nodded and prepared to turn and leave.
At this moment, Wu Ge's voice came from behind him.
"Xiao Chuan, when you come back later… Master has something important to tell you."
Su Xing's heart moved when he heard this, this last sentence had never appeared before!
"Could it be a new plot related to reaching the Perfection of Body Refinement stage?"
Thinking of this, Su Xing couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Su Xing's footsteps were like the wind, and in a short while, he arrived at the back mountain and saw Shen Nong Youtian working.
After seeing Su Xing, Shen Nong Youtian stopped his work and said with a smile:
"Long time no see… Shixiong Luo's cultivation has increased again!"
"Tsk tsk, under a hundred years old, and already at Perfection of Body Refinement, your future in the Immortal Dao is promising!"
Saying this, Shen Nong Youtian dropped the work in his hands and asked as he walked:
"Shixiong, I see that your Qi Refinement cultivation has also reached the peak of the Unity Stage, and Great Ascension is not far away…"
"I wonder, after you become an Immortal, do you plan to follow the path of Body Refinement or Qi Refinement?"
Su Xing was stunned after hearing Shen Nong Youtian's words and subconsciously asked:
"Isn't it possible to cultivate Qi and Body simultaneously?"
After hearing Su Xing's words, Shen Nong Youtian shook his head and said:
"Everything in the world has its destiny… even Immortals cannot have infinite lifespans…"
"Ordinary Human Immortals have a lifespan of no more than 10,000 years, even if they are good at prolonging life, their lifespan is no more than 15,000 years… not to mention fighting and competing with others, they are bound to suffer hidden injuries, and the vast majority of Human Immortals do not live to 10,000 years…"
"After reaching the Earth Immortal Realm, it's a little better, with a lifespan of 20,000 years, you don't have to worry too much about the end of your lifespan…"
Pausing for a moment, Shen Nong Youtian continued:
"But even at the Earth Immortal Realm, a lifespan of 20,000 years is not enough to cultivate Qi and Body simultaneously… ordinary Immortals, wanting to break through one realm, even with Heavenly Spiritual Roots, often takes a thousand years!"
"And the difficulty of Body Refinement is even greater than that of Immortals! Without a strange physique or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it's not surprising if you don't make any progress for a thousand years."
"So, how can one cultivate Qi and Body simultaneously, it's just a waste of time!"
Su Xing's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he continued to ask:
"Shixiong, then if you have a strange physique and a high-quality spiritual root, can you cultivate Qi and Body simultaneously?"
Shen Nong Youtian smiled after hearing this and said:
"If you are confident in your extraordinary talent, you can naturally cultivate Qi and Body simultaneously…"
"Those who cultivate Qi and Body simultaneously are invincible within the same realm, and many can fight across realms, naturally gaining an advantage…"
"And it's rumored that the secrets of the highest realm may be hidden within this simultaneous cultivation of Qi and Body."
"However, for ordinary talented cultivators, at most after becoming an Immortal, they will spend resources to cultivate a Human Immortal Body, which can withstand heat and cold and is not afraid of mortal methods… and then they will mainly cultivate Qi, which is more efficient…"
Su Xing didn't take Shen Nong Youtian's words to heart after hearing them.
What Shen Nong Youtian said was for ordinary cultivators, they found it extremely difficult to break through minor realms.
But for Su Xing, the only thing holding him back was the bottleneck of major realm breakthroughs, and breaking through minor realms was just a matter of time.
Moreover, Su Xing had newly obtained the Devour Heaven talent, further enhancing his body refinement talent, so he would naturally not give up on the path of Body Refinement.
Just as Su Xing was pondering, Shen Nong Youtian said:
"Right, now that you've reached Perfection of Body Refinement… Shi Shu should ask you to make a choice, as for how to choose, it's up to you!"
Shen Nong Youtian stopped talking after saying this.
Su Xing could only quicken his pace, hoping to return to the grand hall quickly.
A moment later, Su Xing returned and reported to Wu Ge, the master in this simulation.
Wu Ge nodded slightly, then beckoned Su Xing to come closer and said:
"Xiao Chuan, you are now a Perfection of Body Refinement cultivator, and you are under a hundred years old, you are the most talented disciple in the Body Refinement path in the Luo Tian Sect in tens of thousands of years."
"You became a First-Class Immortal Seed some time ago, and Master didn't rush to pass on the sect's unpassed-down secrets to you… it was mainly to observe your character."
"Now Master is very satisfied… so, Master hopes that you will make a choice, after you become an Immortal, do you want to follow the path of Qi Refinement or Body Refinement?"
Su Xing's heart moved after hearing this, remembering what Shixiong Shen Nong had said before.
He also remembered that Wu Ge was a big shot in the Body Refinement path, could it be that the Luo Tian Sect had some secrets about Body Refinement?
So Su Xing decisively said:
"Master, your disciple wishes to follow the path of Body Refinement!"
After hearing Su Xing's words, Wu Ge fell silent for a moment, then asked:
"The Body Refinement path doesn't have the hundreds of spells that Qi Refinement cultivators have, and cultivation is several times more difficult, are you truly determined?"
Su Xing quickly nodded after hearing this and said:
"Your disciple is determined!"
Wu Ge laughed loudly after hearing this:
"Good! You truly deserve to be Wu Ge's good disciple, you truly deserve to be the once-in-ten-thousand-years Body Refinement prodigy of the Luo Tian Sect!"
"You've come all the way from the Body Refinement Realm, and you've never cultivated any other body refinement methods, and now learning this secret method is just right!"
"This method is called the Great Witch Body Refinement Technique! If this method is cultivated to a high level, it may be comparable to the Great Luo Saint!"
"The Great Witch Body Refinement Technique is an ancient secret method that has been passed down for countless kalpas, and it can only be cultivated after the Human Immortal Body…"
"And you possess the innate strange body, the Heavenly Thunder Body, although it's not a top-tier divine body, it also has great potential, it's just right! In the future, achieving Heavenly Immortal, or even Profound Immortal Realm… there's a great chance!"
Su Xing's heart trembled after hearing this.
He was about to be taught a Body Refinement technique!
Could the Great Witch Body Refinement Technique be a body refinement technique passed down from the ancient Witch Clan?
Su Xing's heart pounded.
Then he saw Wu Ge point at Su Xing's forehead and say:
"The Great Witch Body Refinement Technique… has an extremely high upper limit, but it has even higher requirements for aptitude and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, each generation only inherits it to one person…"
Then, Su Xing felt that several memories had been added to his mind.
Vaguely, Su Xing seemed to see a towering giant in the wild, day and night without rest, unaffected by heat or cold, day after day, regardless of the harsh cold or scorching heat, tempering his physique.
Every movement, every section of mental cultivation method, every technique, was engraved in Su Xing's heart.
After a long time, when Su Xing opened his eyes again, he had already returned to reality.
And in his mind, the Great Witch Body Refinement Technique was completely memorized!
"The Great Witch Body Refinement Technique… has ten layers, the first layer, when completed, can be compared to a Human Immortal Realm expert… the second layer can be compared to an Earth Immortal Realm expert…"
"Cultivated to the tenth layer, it can be compared to a Saint!"
"Hiss… this Great Witch Body Refinement Technique is truly a supreme secret method that leads to the end of cultivation!"
A flash of狂喜 (ecstasy) appeared in Su Xing's eyes.
Before this, Su Xing had improved his body refinement cultivation by relying solely on some rudimentary Witch Clan exercise movements and a large amount of blood and flesh essence supplementation.
It was very effective at low levels.
But as his realm continued to improve, it was conceivable that the effect of this body refinement would become weaker and weaker.
But now it was different, Su Xing had the Great Witch Body Refinement Technique, he could fight Immortals with his physical body!
Taking a deep breath, Su Xing adjusted his emotions, then suddenly thought of something and muttered:
"Reaching the Perfection of Body Refinement stage will obtain the Great Witch Body Refinement Technique…"
"Then what about the Great Ascension stage of Qi Refinement? As a First-Class Immortal Seed, what kind of secret method can I obtain!?"
Su Xing's heart pounded.
Could it be a cultivation technique for the Immortal Realm!?
A path that could lead directly to the Saint Realm!
Although Su Xing had obtained the Great Witch Body Refinement Technique, it didn't prevent him from obtaining the Great Ascension stage reward in future simulations…
After all, if he obtained both, which one he mainly cultivated would be entirely up to Su Xing's mood?
"Only children make choices! I want both, of course…"
The corners of Su Xing's mouth curled up slightly, he didn't expect that this cultivation breakthrough would bring such a surprise.
His gaze returned to the simulation panel.
[After leaving the Luo Tian copy, you returned to the Spirit Field Cave Heaven.]
[After that, you joined the Descendant Sect as planned and had your puppet organization, the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion, trade with various merchant guilds.]
[After joining the Descendant Sect, you refined pills on a daily basis.]
[In this way, two years passed.]
[During this time, you visited the Luo Tian copy.]
[In the third year, you gave the pills to the Da Xia military, adding many strong individuals to the military.]
[You went to the Imperial Fire Sect ruins and saw the Vermilion Bird feather…]
[You took out a top-grade Awakening Pill, prepared to spend a month in seclusion to comprehend Fire Origin…]
Su Xing's heart moved after seeing this, and he silently said:
"Use Immersive Simulation, duration 30 days…"
[Ding, you have successfully used Immersive Simulation, spending 72 million energy points, remaining energy 237.93 million energy points.]
The prompt sounded, and Su Xing appeared in the Imperial Fire Sect ruins.
In his hand was a branch of the innate Fusang Divine Tree, and in front of him was the Imperial Fire Elder, who had turned into a corpse.
Su Xing first bowed, then took out the Vermilion Bird feather.
The Vermilion Bird feather burrowed into Su Xing's body and disappeared.
Then, Su Xing released the Separating Fire Technique and felt a subtle change in it.
"Then next… it's time to comprehend it…"
Su Xing muttered, then took the Awakening Pill and began to comprehend Fire Origin.
With the Awakening Pill and the Great Wisdom state enhancing him, Su Xing's comprehension greatly increased!
Plus, Su Xing himself was a Heavenly Spiritual Root with Wood, Fire, and Thunder attributes, and he was naturally very sensitive to Fire Origin.
And then there were the Vermilion Bird feather and Fusang Tree branch, two treasures, it was a triple boost!
Therefore, Su Xing's speed of comprehending Fire Origin was astonishingly fast!
In just seven days, Su Xing's comprehension of Fire Origin reached the entry level!
On the twenty-eighth day, Su Xing's comprehension of Fire Origin reached the minor accomplishment level!
In the last two days, Su Xing further consolidated his comprehension of Fire Origin, making some progress.
Until the simulation time was about to end, Su Xing personally buried the Imperial Fire Elder before returning to the real world.
"Not bad! With one Immersive Simulation, my comprehension of Fire Origin has reached the minor accomplishment level!"
"Based on this, with two or three more times, I'll be able to successfully cultivate Fire Origin to perfection!"
"At that time, breaking through to the Great Ascension stage will be within reach!"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, his gaze returning to the simulation panel.
[Your comprehension of Fire Origin successfully entered the minor accomplishment level, and then you continued to lurk in the Descendant Sect, hoping to obtain a通行证 (pass) to the Three Thousand Worlds.]
[In this way, four years passed.]
[In the seventh year, after careful planning, you became the leader of the Natural faction.]
[In the eighth year, you released the Spirit Vein Dragon and schemed to kill Elder Long.]
[After killing Elder Long, you refined hundreds of Rebirth Pills.]
[But you had already entered the Perfection stage, and Elder Long was only a Primordial Unity Realm cultivator, even with the true dragon bloodline, his improvement to your cultivation level was far less than before.]
[You took hundreds of Rebirth Pills, even with the boost from "Devour Heaven", you only managed to reach the mid-stage of Perfection of Body Refinement Stage One with difficulty.]
[In the eleventh year, Blood Three descended upon Blue Star, you offered the Spirit Vein Dragon, gained his trust, and obtained a pass.]
[Before Blood Three left, he gave you a meaningful look, and he said that after you became a Blood Sprout, you could go to headquarters to find him.]
In the real world, Su Xing paused after seeing this.
"Whew… now I've obtained a pass, staying on Blue Star will have a negligible impact on my strength improvement…"
"The advantage of staying on Blue Star is that I have the Spirit Vein Dragon, the Spirit Field Cave Heaven… enough spirit liquid, so improving my Qi Refinement cultivation is easier."
"But if I want to improve my body refinement realm, it's clearly the best choice to enter the Ten Thousand Mountains!"
Pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued:
"But there's also that Nine Turn Pill… I can take it before I leave and see if I can improve one realm!"
In the Ten Thousand Mountains, as long as Su Xing could stay under Tiger Immortal's command, he could at least ensure 50 years of simulation, and during these 50 years, as long as Su Xing performed well, he could obtain the blood and flesh essence of high-level妖兽 (beasts).
At that time, refining Rebirth Pills would be extremely effective for Su Xing!
He could completely improve two or three realms!
Or even, if he had the chance, Su Xing could leave the Ten Thousand Mountains and take a look at other places in the Small Green Cloud Realm…
Su Xing thought this, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[You spent half a month refining the Nine Turn Pill.]
[Without hesitation, before leaving Blue Star, you took the Nine Turn Pill and began to cultivate in seclusion.]
[A month later, you successfully left seclusion!]
[With the boost from "Devour Heaven", you perfectly digested all the medicinal power of the Nine Turn Pill and successfully advanced to Perfection of Body Refinement Stage Two cultivator!]
[In the twelfth year, after settling your family and friends, you prepared to go to the Slaughter Battlefield.]
[You hid a small bag of Gathering Spirit Flower seeds in your body and went to the Slaughter Battlefield.]
[You continued to move towards the direction of the Blood Moon, and after an unknown amount of time, you reached the end of the Slaughter Battlefield.]
[You presented the pass and successfully entered the strange space.]
[After entering the strange space, you had two choices, go to the Valley Gathering Place through the Descendant Sect route, or cross the void turbulence and go to another passage.]
[After hesitating for a moment, you decided to try exploring the other passage.]
[You walked dozens of steps forward along the star path under your feet and felt a terrifying tearing sensation in the void.]
[You quickly summoned the protective sword aura, and the blade-like spatial sharpness tore at the aura.]
[In just a few breaths, over a dozen of the 360 sword auras had already been reduced, this terrifying destructive power made you feel alarmed.]
[But you still gritted your teeth and took a step forward, entering the void turbulence.]
[You could feel that in this terrifying void, there were traces of Spatial Origin, if your physical body touched it, anyone below the Immortal level would likely be instantly torn apart!]
[You controlled the sword aura and rushed forward fiercely, ten zhang, a hundred zhang… every step in this spatial turbulence was as heavy as a thousand jun to you!]
[But you were still persevering… but the seemingly very close black passage, because of the distortion of space, became extremely far away…]
[You gritted your teeth and charged another thousand zhang…]
[At this moment, you felt that the black passage was only a few thousand zhang away from you.]
[But you had to give up, because the protective sword aura had been damaged by more than half, if you continued to persist, you would definitely not reach the entrance of the passage before being killed by the spatial turbulence…]
[Without hesitation, you decisively retreated the same way…]
[When the last of the protective sword aura dissipated, you successfully returned to the original star path.]
[You looked at the distant black passage, feeling a little regretful, but still entered the temporary passage.]
In the real world, Su Xing sighed after seeing this.
"It's a pity, I was so close… Next time, when I've comprehended another one or two hundred sword auras, and my body refinement realm is stronger, I should be able to cross the other black passage!"
Su Xing was very curious about what existed beyond the black passage.
"But since I'm going to the Valley Gathering Place, I'll follow the original plan, stabilize my development for a while, and then find an opportunity to go to the Small Green Cloud Realm and obtain freedom!"
Su Xing muttered, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[You entered the temporary passage, and felt the surrounding space frantically tearing at you.]
[You erected a protective aura, your vision went black, and you fainted…]
[When you woke up again, you were already in the Valley Gathering Place.]
[You only suffered minor injuries, and three days later, your injuries were healed.]
[You found a job as a guard in a brothel and investigated the current intelligence of the Valley.]
[You learned that there were still two years before the next Blood Sprout Grand Competition began.]
[So, as always, you robbed the "freeloaders" under the guise of being a guard.]
[You quickly accumulated some initial funds, but it was not enough for you to buy the supplies you needed.]
[Soon, two years passed…]
[In the fourteenth year, you participated in the Blood Sprout Grand Competition.]
[You killed dozens of Return to Void Realm and dozens of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, accumulating a considerable amount of spirit stones.]
[You used these spirit stones to buy some spirit liquid, a ninth-order pill furnace, and began to cultivate Gathering Spirit Flowers.]
[Another two years passed…]
[In the sixteenth year, you cultivated over a hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers and sold them to Song Lao Er.]
[You exchanged them for a large amount of urgently needed resources, including various medicinal herbs, several eighth-order speed talismans, and a top-grade spiritual artifact.]
[After obtaining these resources, you began to plan your escape from the Valley.]
[According to your intelligence, the two weakest guards were Great Ascension initial stage cultivators, and these two cultivators were no match for you in a single confrontation.]
[So you secretly infiltrated the forbidden area, and when the two cultivators were chatting, you suddenly attacked, activating the protective sword aura, instantly rendering them incapacitated.]
[You obtained the通行令牌 (pass token) and rushed towards the core area of the Ten Thousand Mountains.]
[In the first few days, you flew with your sword, rushing for millions of miles.]
[After that, you vaguely sensed that there were Immortals and Transcending Tribulation Realm cultivators chasing after you, so you hid in the Ten Thousand Mountains, using the mountains as cover, and ran towards the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains.]
[You used the Celestial Mechanism Shielding Technique to strengthen the shielding of your Heavenly Mechanism, avoiding danger along the way, bypassing the territories of powerful beasts, and rushing towards the core area of the Ten Thousand Mountains.]
[After breaking through to Perfection of Body Refinement, your speed greatly increased, even if you were traveling on foot, you could rush 200,000 miles a day.]
[In this way, twenty days passed, and you gradually approached the core area of the Ten Thousand Mountains.]
[At the same time, the feeling in your heart became more and more obvious, perhaps Blood Ninety-Nine was desperately searching for your whereabouts behind you.]
[So you gritted your teeth and increased your speed, and after seven days, you had entered the core area…]
[After entering the core area, you rushed for another three days.]
[One day, terrifying magical fluctuations came from behind you, you knew that Tiger Immortal and Blood Ninety-Nine had clashed.]
[So you seized this opportunity and continued to rush forward.]
[You wanted to see if you could avoid Tiger Immortal's pursuit and successfully cross the Ten Thousand Mountains…]
[Several days later, a strange wind came from behind you.]
[Your heart tightened, you knew that Tiger Immortal had arrived.]
[When you looked back, sure enough, you saw Tiger Immortal looking at you from under a big tree.]
[He asked you why you were being chased by the Descendant Sect.]
[With the experience from last time, you naturally wouldn't reveal a single bit of information about the Green Cloud Sect.]
[So you took out the small bag of Gathering Spirit Flower seeds and said that you were extremely skilled at cultivating Gathering Spirit Flowers, and that's why you were captured by the Descendant Sect cadre, wanting to take you back to plant flowers specifically.]
[Tiger Immortal's eyes flashed with surprise after hearing this, and he asked how skilled you were.]
[You concealed the actual situation and said that you only needed ten years to mature the Gathering Spirit Flowers, and the survival rate was over 50%.]
[After hearing your words, Tiger Immortal stared at you with his tiger eyes, clearly very surprised.]
[Then, with a wave of his big hand, he captured you and took you to Tiger Immortal Village.]
[Tiger Immortal is not as disgusted with humans as ordinary beasts, he said that he saved your life, as long as you cultivate Gathering Spirit Flowers for him for 500 years as repayment, he would let you go.]
[After hearing this, you pretended to be terrified and quickly agreed.]
[So, you gloriously became a farmer in Tiger Immortal Village, specifically cultivating Gathering Spirit Flowers.]
In the real world, Su Xing rolled his eyes after seeing this.
"Damn it, farm for him for 500 years? How dare Tiger Immortal be so arrogant?"
"Tsk tsk, but don't mention 500 years, in less than 50 years, Tiger Immortal Village will be breached…"
Su Xing shook his head, although he hadn't escaped Tiger Immortal's clutches, staying in Tiger Immortal Village was still a good choice.
At least it could guarantee 50 years of simulation time, and during this time, Su Xing could still maximize his body refinement cultivation as much as possible.
Thinking of this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel again.
[You joined Tiger Immortal Village and pretended to cultivate Gathering Spirit Flowers every day.]
[Because you didn't reveal your identity as a disciple of Green Cloud Zi, Tiger Immortal didn't confiscate your storage pouch.]
[You had relative freedom, as long as you guaranteed the cultivation of Gathering Spirit Flowers every day, you could even move freely within Tiger Immortal Village.]
[In Tiger Immortal Village, there were many powerful妖修 (cultivators), and Transcending Tribulation and Human Immortal Realm cultivators occasionally appeared.]
[And the most common items traded in Tiger Immortal Village were beast hides, materials, inner cores… and blood and flesh essence.]
[As the only human cultivator who could move freely in Tiger Immortal Village, you naturally received a lot of attention.]
[In the seventeenth year, the first year of joining Tiger Immortal Village, you were bullied and robbed by several妖修 (cultivators), but after you showed your strength, this never happened again.]
[妖修 (cultivators) admire strength the most, even if it's a human cultivator, they wouldn't dare to bully them.]
[And Tiger Immortal personally appeared and said that you were his special "servant", so he didn't allow other cultivators to attack you.]
[With Tiger Immortal as your backer, your days in Tiger Immortal Village were quite pleasant.]
[The place where you lived was closest to Tiger Immortal's cave, and the spiritual energy there was the most abundant, close to a blessed land level of spiritual energy.]
[The reason for doing this was naturally because the spiritual energy here was sufficient for cultivating Gathering Spirit Flowers, and at the same time, keeping you, a human cultivator, under his nose, made Tiger Immortal feel at ease.]
[But in the eyes of other cultivators, this became a sign that you were deeply favored by Tiger Immortal.]
[There were even rumors circulating in the village that Tiger Immortal had a special hobby, liking human male pets. (To avoid censorship)]
[And you were exceptionally handsome, so you were secretly suspected of being Tiger Immortal's kept boy.]
[But this rumor only lasted for a month, and the cultivator who spread the rumor was found dead in the wilderness the next day, with grass several zhang high on his grave.]
[In the eighteenth year, you gradually figured out the layout of Tiger Immortal Village and the situation of other powerful cultivators around it.]
[Strictly speaking, the situation in Tiger Immortal Village was not good, Tiger Immortal Village was surrounded by the territories of various妖王 (beast kings).]
[To the south was the Bear King, who was at the mid-stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, and was an old enemy of Tiger Immortal.]
[To the north was the Golden Eagle King, who was at the initial stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, and could travel tens of thousands of miles a day, with astonishing speed, Tiger Immortal had a minor grudge with him many years ago.]
[To the west was the Groundhog King, who was at the late stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, although he was a rat-like creature, he was the most powerful beast king within tens of thousands of miles, he possessed an underground beast city, and his strength was not to be underestimated.]
[To the east was the beast king, the Golden Leopard, who had once been an ally of Tiger Immortal, but they had fallen out in recent centuries, and he would occasionally sneak attacks on Tiger Immortal Village.]
[In recent years, in order to compete for territory, resources, and a top-grade spirit vein… several beast kings have fought in turn, unwilling to yield, and the number of cultivators who died was tens of millions.]
[But what surprised you even more was that, through observing these battles, you vaguely felt that there seemed to be a hidden force behind them, pushing the battles between the beast kings…]
[Based on your guess, this force might be the Descendant Sect!]
In the real world, Su Xing raised an eyebrow after seeing this.
"No wonder Tiger Immortal died in the fiftieth year, and even Tiger Immortal Village was breached…"
"Tiger Immortal Village is surrounded on all sides, it's definitely not a place to stay for long!"
"And this Tiger Immortal has a violent temper, and he doesn't get along with the beast kings on all four sides, so they will naturally take him down first to expand their own territory."
Pausing for a moment, Su Xing looked at the last line of text.
"But why is the Descendant Sect instigating the chaos among the beast cultivators?"
Su Xing narrowed his eyes, the Descendant Sect's purpose was naturally to allow the alien races to conquer various small thousand worlds.
And the Small Green Cloud Realm was also one of the worlds being attacked by the Descendant Sect!
But because the Small Green Cloud Realm was extremely strong, with several powerful forces, including the human Green Cloud Sect, White Emperor Tower, Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, etc., all had a presence there.
Or even, if the alien races invaded at a critical moment, the beast cultivators of the Ten Thousand Mountains, as native creatures, would also participate in the battle to jointly resist the alien races!
And the Descendant Sect's actions were naturally to divide the internal and external forces, causing the internal forces of the Small Green Cloud Realm to kill each other, weakening them before launching a full-scale invasion!
Thinking of this, Su Xing had a vague feeling.
"Perhaps, the Small Green Cloud Realm, the day it's destroyed… won't be too far away?"
Su Xing sighed softly, but with his current strength, he was not yet capable of considering these things.
His gaze returned to the simulation panel.
[Facing the situation where Tiger Immortal Village was surrounded on all sides, you felt extremely uneasy, currently, the situation in Tiger Immortal Village was still good, because Tiger Immortal's strength was considerable.]
[But once Tiger Immortal is injured, Tiger Immortal Village will definitely be destroyed! And you wouldn't be able to escape death.]
[But these were far away from you, what you were considering now was how to obtain more resources for your cultivation.]
[As the battles between the surrounding beast kings became more and more frequent, the price of beast blood and flesh essence in the village decreased.]
[You used a few Gathering Spirit Flowers to exchange for over a hundred catties of Transcending Tribulation Realm large beast blood and flesh essence.]
[You refined it into Rebirth Pills and improved your cultivation!]
[The blood and flesh essence of Transcending Tribulation Realm beasts was extremely effective!]
[You took them every day, and your body refinement cultivation and strength both increased significantly!]
[In this way, two years passed…]
[In the twentieth year, with the boost from the "Devour Heaven" talent, your cultivation reached the mid-stage of Perfection of Body Refinement Stage Two!]
[This year, your Rebirth Pills ran out, and you secretly took out a few Gathering Spirit Flowers and exchanged them for over a hundred catties of blood and flesh essence.]
[You cultivated daily in Tiger Immortal Village, occasionally cultivating Gathering Spirit Flowers, and your life was leisurely and carefree.]
[In the twenty-third year, your cultivation successfully improved to the late stage of Perfection of Body Refinement Stage Two!]
[As your cultivation improved, your need for blood and flesh essence increased.]
[If you continued to use Gathering Spirit Flowers to trade, you would inevitably be discovered.]
[So, you chose to trade with these beasts.]
[One hundred catties of Transcending Tribulation Realm beast blood and flesh essence was enough for you to refine 300 Rebirth Pills!]
[But the effect of one Rebirth Pill was better than the effect of one catty of Transcending Tribulation Realm beast blood and flesh essence!]
[So, you became an intermediary and began to earn the price difference.]
[You said that you wouldn't earn a single coin, you just wanted to contribute to Tiger Immortal Village, and you would exchange one Rebirth Pill for one catty of Transcending Tribulation Realm blood and flesh essence.]
[At first, some cultivators didn't believe you, but after you hired some "shills" to specifically promote the effect of the Rebirth Pill, it instantly became popular throughout Tiger Immortal Village!]
[In just over a month, over a thousand cultivators came to buy it, hoping to obtain the Rebirth Pill.]
[But you knew that a big tree attracts the wind, if you casually refined tens of thousands of Rebirth Pills, you would definitely be suspected.]
[So you said that your pill refining skills were limited and you could only refine the blood and flesh essence of beasts below the Transcending Tribulation Realm, and you could only refine a maximum of a hundred a month!]
[But even so, many cultivators still lined up to buy the Rebirth Pill.]
[Because some cultivators discovered that the Rebirth Pill could neutralize the problem of bloodline conflict that occurred when beasts consumed beast essence!]
[So, the price of one Rebirth Pill quickly rose from one catty of blood and flesh essence to one catty and one liang, one catty and two liang… and finally even reached one catty and five liang per pill!]
[And in the black market of Tiger Immortal Village, the price of blood and flesh essence for the Rebirth Pill rose to one catty and eight liang per pill!]
[Even faced with such a huge temptation, you stuck to your bottom line and said that you could only refine a hundred Rebirth Pills a month.]
[One hundred Rebirth Pills were enough for you to sell at the price of 150 catties of Transcending Tribulation Realm beast essence.]
[After spending a few more days refining, you could obtain 450 Rebirth Pills,
and your net profit would be 350 Rebirth Pills!
[And 350 Rebirth Pills were enough for you to cultivate for over a year!]
[Under these circumstances, you lived a life of modest comfort.]
[You spent five days a month refining pills, spent an hour a week cultivating Gathering Spirit Flowers, and spent the rest of your time cultivating!]
[And under these circumstances, your cultivation speed increased again!]
[In the twenty-fifth year, your cultivation reached the peak of Perfection of Body Refinement Stage Two!]
[At this time, you began to prepare the resources for breaking through to Perfection of Body Refinement Stage Three…]
[Because you lacked a body refinement technique, to break through the realm of Perfection of Body Refinement, the only way you could think of was to frantically accumulate resources, consume Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and use the power of Devour Heaven to complete the breakthrough!]
[But the number of Rebirth Pills needed for this would probably be as many as one or two hundred.]
[Fortunately, you had accumulated a thousand Rebirth Pills over the past two years, enough for you to make the breakthrough.]
[But before that, you still had an important thing to do, to give the Gathering Spirit Flowers you had cultivated over the past ten years to Tiger Immortal.]
[Because you had previously told Tiger Immortal that Gathering Spirit Flowers were very fragile, so they couldn't be disturbed by others when they were being cultivated, and Tiger Immortal also promised that as long as you provided him with two hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers every ten years, and an additional twenty each year, he wouldn't interfere with you.]
[In this regard, Tiger Immortal had indeed done a good job over the past ten years, you hadn't felt Tiger Immortal's divine sense probing your cave.]
[Over the past ten years, you have cultivated three batches of Gathering Spirit Flowers and cultivated new seeds, with a total harvest of nearly a thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers.]
[You took out two hundred and eight Gathering Spirit Flowers and gave them to Tiger Immortal.]
[Tiger Immortal was very surprised after seeing them, he explained that Gathering Spirit Flowers were almost extinct in the Three Thousand Worlds, and only a few might exist in ancient ruins.]
[And for cultivators above the Immortal Realm, the environment in their caves was extremely important, and Gathering Spirit Flowers could improve the quality and spiritual energy content of caves, so cultivators above the Human Immortal Realm were all eager to obtain them.]
[But a few Gathering Spirit Flowers were of little use, only a sufficient quantity could cause powerful cultivators to fight over them.]
[If there were ten thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers, even True Immortal Realm cultivators would fight to the death for them.]
[And if you had several thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers, Tiger Immortal's cave core area could be upgraded to a blessed land, and Tiger Immortal's cultivation speed would also increase several times over!]
[After hearing Tiger Immortal's words, you had a better understanding of the value of Gathering Spirit Flowers.]
[After offering over two hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers, Tiger Immortal's favor towards you greatly increased.]
[He gave you the body of a cultivator close to the Human Immortal Realm, and promoted you to the position of head gardener of Tiger Immortal Village.]
[For a time, you seemed to have truly become a favorite of Tiger Immortal.]
[Moreover, you had the status of a pill refining master, and for a time, all the cultivators in Tiger Immortal Village treated you with great respect.]
[But you always had a hint of anxiety in your heart, because you knew that the current stability was just an illusion…]
[Because in over twenty years, the entire Tiger Immortal Village would be completely destroyed…]
