Chapter 290: Golden Talent, Pill Dao Grandmaster, First Arrival at the Sand Realm [8k]
The simulation prompt faded, and a mystical energy surged into Su Xing's body.
Su Xing's cultivation aura began to rapidly climb.
In just a few breaths, he soared from the fourth layer of the Human Immortal Realm to the peak of the sixth layer.
He was just one step away from becoming a late-stage Human Immortal cultivator!
"Too bad… just a little bit short, but I should be able to smoothly break through to the peak of the Human Immortal Realm during the next simulation!"
A confident glint shone in Su Xing's eyes.
During the next simulation, he wouldn't need to search for Qing Yunzi, and he could at least simulate for 120 years.
Coupled with the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, he could try venturing to other worlds, perhaps allowing him to simulate for even longer.
And with each additional year of simulation, under the effect of "Late Bloomer", he would receive a double benefit!
"Why does it feel like the progress of my cultivation after the Human Immortal Realm… is even faster than it was during the Tribulation Transcendence stage?"
A slight smile curved Su Xing's lips. The faster his cultivation speed, the better for him!
His only concern was obtaining sufficient simulation energy.
Su Xing spent some time adapting to his enhanced cultivation base.
Currently, his spiritual energy reserves were more than 50% greater than they were a week ago.
"Right, there's also the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat!"
Su Xing quickly glanced down at the miniature boat, only an inch long, resembling a delicate model.
Su Xing took a few steps back, his mind flickering with intent as he infused a wisp of immortal energy into the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat.
With the immortal energy injected, a dazzling golden light flashed across the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat.
The inch-long model instantly transformed into a small boat, three zhang long and one zhang wide, large enough to accommodate several people.
If Su Xing wished, he could even expand the boat to a hundred zhang long and thirty zhang wide, a massive vessel!
With some crowding, it could easily hold over a thousand people…
"Wow, with this Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat… even if Blue Star is about to be destroyed, I can still take my family and friends and escape!"
Excitement welled up in Su Xing's heart.
With his previous abilities, he could have escaped to the Little Qing Yun Realm alone.
But the people he cared about—Jin Congxue, Luo Shuyying, Wang Qingxuan, Yu Yan… or even his family—could not have followed him.
But now, things were different. With the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, Su Xing could easily take a group of people to safety first.
"If it truly comes to that… I'll have no choice but to abandon Blue Star and take some people with me to escape…"
Su Xing muttered.
He was pragmatic; Su Xing wasn't necessarily determined to be a hero who saved the world.
As long as his family and friends were safe, that was all that mattered…
In fact, Su Xing could easily lead a thousand or more humans onto the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat before the destruction of Blue Star and take them to the Little Qing Yun Realm, a virtuous act.
At the very least, ensuring that humanity on Blue Star wouldn't become extinct…
With this thought in mind, Su Xing eagerly tested the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat.
Entering the small boat, a glass-like dome appeared on the originally open-top vessel.
From inside the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, one could see the outside clearly, but from the outside, the interior was invisible.
Contrary to Su Xing's expectations, this Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat had a somewhat high-tech feel to it.
On the control panel, there were numerous array switches.
Such as high-altitude flight, interdimensional travel… or full-speed flight, defensive array buttons…
Invisibility array, aura concealment array, spirit gathering array, spatial array… everything was available!
It could even unleash spell attacks, powerful enough to kill Immortals!
Of course, all of this required spiritual energy or immortal energy as a power source!
It could use a large number of spirit stones as fuel, or Su Xing could personally input immortal energy to control it, making it incredibly user-friendly.
"Wow… truly a magical artifact! This Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat is the ultimate tool for robbery and escape!"
Su Xing was very satisfied with the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat.
Unfortunately, there were currently no opportunities for him to use it on Blue Star.
Perhaps in the future, Su Xing could try an immersive simulation…
"Time's almost up, I should go find Lu Yuanwu!"
Su Xing murmured.
He then used disguise and concealment techniques to go to the transaction, earning another 20,000 units of primal energy.
This week, Su Xing also took his flying sword to the United States.
One reason was to check on the puppet cultivator, Xiao Mei.
He found that she was doing quite well, having disguised herself as a beautiful blonde woman. Not only had she sold a lot of goods, but she had also recruited a few followers.
After confirming that everything was fine in the US, Su Xing went to the Abyss Dungeon.
This week, Su Xing had been farming monsters in the 20th to 30th layers of the Abyss.
In six days, he had collected enough Abyss Stones to be worth 10,000 units of primal energy!
On September 2nd, Su Xing went to the Immortal Martial Dungeon and brought out the raw Xenometallic ore.
…
New Era 2025, September 2nd, a villa in Kyoto.
Su Xing looked at Jin Congxue, who was standing before him. She was wearing a black dress with light makeup, giving her a somewhat queenly air.
"A Xing, this week's goods and Xenometallic…"
Jin Congxue handed him two storage rings. Su Xing took them, smiling slyly.
As usual, he handed over the pills and the raw Xenometallic ore.
Seeing Jin Congxue's hesitation, Su Xing asked in puzzlement:
"Sister Xue, you seem a little down. Is something bothering you?"
Jin Congxue's face flushed red, and she said in a soft voice:
"Someone promised to take me to a movie… it's been almost a month, and there's still no sign of it!"
Su Xing was momentarily stunned, then nodded.
"Oh! Accompany you to watch a movie, you should have said so earlier!"
Su Xing had been relatively free lately. With all the puppets doing the work, he had at least one day of rest per week.
Seeing Su Xing's perfunctory attitude, Jin Congxue became unhappy, grumbling:
"Shouldn't you be the one to invite me? Now that I've said it… it seems like I'm the one doing the inviting!"
Seeing that Jin Congxue was about to get angry, Su Xing was startled and quickly said:
"Look, let's go see a movie now!"
"I'll buy the tickets right now…"
Jin Congxue's eyes lit up, and the two of them prepared to go to the city to find a cinema to watch a new movie.
Before they left, Su Xing mused:
"Sigh, women, truly an obstacle on my immortal cultivation path…"
Given Su Xing's way of thinking, he probably wouldn't understand Jin Congxue's subtle hints…
…
After the movie, Su Xing returned to the Spiritual Field Paradise.
At that moment, the simulator's cooldown period had just ended, and Su Xing was ready to start a new week of simulation.
"Begin simulation!"
[Simulation 102 begins. Current remaining Primal Energy: 103,199 units… Remaining simulation attempts: unlimited.]
[Simulation starting!]
[Spending 1 unit of Primal Energy to draw a Golden Legendary Talent. Do you wish to proceed?]
"Yes!" Su Xing silently recited.
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Golden Talent "Pill Dao Grandmaster". The next simulation's probability of drawing a Golden Talent will be 60%…]
[Pill Dao Grandmaster]: Golden Talent. Your skills in Pill Dao are astounding, and you have the potential to become a Pill Dao Grandmaster, capable of crafting pills imbued with sentience…
Su Xing was initially disappointed when he saw the newly drawn talent.
After so long, he still hadn't drawn a Golden-grade Spiritual Root…
But after reading the new talent carefully, Su Xing's eyes lit up.
"Pill Dao Grandmaster… this seems like an upgraded version of the Purple Pill Dao talent!"
"Pills imbued with sentience, I wonder what that means…"
Su Xing stroked his chin. He had heard that those who reached the pinnacle of Pill Dao could imbue pills with consciousness.
Such pills could even lead to ascension!
For example, the Dragon Tiger Pill, a high-level pill that increased a cultivator's Dragon Tiger power.
But in the hands of a Pill Dao Grandmaster, the Dragon Tiger Pill could transform into a real dragon and tiger, possessing the combat power of an Immortal!
"However… this Pill Dao talent comes at just the right time!"
"The second layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Art requires Earth Origin Pills, and I'll need to refine them myself… this talent is perfect!"
Su Xing murmured, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
This time, his goal was to reach the peak of the Human Immortal Realm!
[Within the Spiritual Field Paradise, you become aware that you are in a simulation.]
[After a few days, you seek out Luo Shuyying.]
[You obtain the token to the Spirit Race Ancestral Land and journey to the Spirit Realm.]
[You successfully obtain the legacy left behind by the Luo Tian Sect…]
[Another half a month later, you enter the Luo Tian Dungeon and learn the Way of Puppets…]
[For the next year, aside from cultivation, you dedicate yourself to repairing puppets.]
[You dispatch the repaired puppets to various countries around Blue Star, allowing them to establish forces and engage in trade, further expanding the scope of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.]
[Soon, a year passes.]
[In the second year, you sense that you are about to break through to the late-stage Human Immortal Realm.]
[To this end, you visit the Wan Mu Sect ruins.]
[After strengthening the Profound Yuan Aura Concealment Array and setting up a prohibition to shield the heavenly secrets, you place the Spirit Vein Dragon within the Spiritual Field Paradise…]
[As expected, the Old Dragon did not sense the presence of the Spirit Vein Dragon.]
[Even if they are both dragons, under the combined effect of the array and the heavenly secret shielding technique, even a Profound Immortal would find it difficult to detect, let alone a mere Void Shattering Realm hybrid dragon?]
[You place the Spirit Vein Dragon in the Spiritual Field Paradise and take good care of it, quickly gaining its favor.]
[Another year passes.]
[Three years later, you begin preparations to break through to the seventh layer of the Human Immortal Realm!]
[This seclusion lasts for a full year…]
[Just as you are about to fail your breakthrough, the Spirit Vein Dragon exhales a mouthful of pure immortal energy, helping you successfully break through to the late-stage Human Immortal Realm!]
[Congratulations on breaking through to the seventh layer of the Human Immortal Realm!]
Su Xing's eyes lit up, and he nodded slightly.
"Not bad, it's indeed time to release the Spirit Vein Dragon…"
"With the array's protection, the Old Dragon won't be able to sense it… As long as I keep the Spirit Dragon in the Spiritual Field Paradise, the Paradise might be able to upgrade further!"
Su Xing's current Paradise was of mid-grade quality.
If the Spirit Vein Dragon moved in, it might be able to reach high-grade quality in a few months.
At that time, Su Xing's cultivation speed and spiritual liquid output would increase even further.
"Excellent! Successfully breaking through to the seventh layer of the Human Immortal Realm in one go, the probability of reaching the peak of the Human Immortal Realm in this simulation has increased!"
Su Xing nodded with satisfaction.
He then turned his attention to the simulation panel.
[After breaking through to the seventh layer of the Human Immortal Realm, you remain on Blue Star to continue cultivating.]
[Soon, fifteen years pass…]
[In the seventeenth year, your cultivation reaches the mid-stage of the seventh layer of the Human Immortal Realm.]
[This year, you visit the Beast Taming Realm to resolve a hidden danger…]
[In the twenty-eighth year, a Demon Saint descends upon Blue Star…]
[You defend the Demon Suppression Pass for five years, and the Demon Saint retreats.]
[In the thirty-third year, your cultivation reaches the late-stage of the seventh layer of the Human Immortal Realm.]
[In the same year, you travel from the Slaughter Battlefield to the Little Qing Yun Realm.]
[The first thing you do upon arriving in the Little Qing Yun Realm is to sell intelligence to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.]
[But you also haven't forgotten that in two years, the time for the appearance of the Origin Passage Flower in the Black Water Realm will arrive!]
[The Origin Passage Flower is an essential material for refining the Earth Origin Pill, and you must make a trip to the Black Water Realm.]
[You travel to the south of the Little Qing Yun Realm and locate the spatial coordinates connecting to the Black Water Realm.]
[Then, you pilot the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat into the void.]
[The Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat travels through the turbulent void, with void turbulence everywhere.]
[Occasionally, you can see void beasts slumbering or foraging in the void.]
[These void beasts are incredibly powerful, with the weakest possessing the strength of an Immortal, and there are even rumors of powerful void beasts with the strength comparable to a Great Luo Golden Immortal!]
[You activate the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat's protective array to withstand the erosion of the void.]
[After seven days, you reach the first void node.]
[You pilot the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat and successfully pass through the spatial node, crossing countless voids…]
[Now, you only need to pass through two more void nodes to successfully reach the Black Water Realm.]
In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly.
Traveling between each world was exceptionally difficult, otherwise, even Immortals wouldn't struggle to reach them.
If one simply measured the distance between small thousand worlds based on distance, even neighboring small thousand worlds would require a Heavenly Immortal to travel for a thousand years to reach.
At this point, it's necessary to access void spatial nodes for long-distance spatial jumps.
Each jump could cover billions of miles.
Neighboring small worlds often require crossing two to three void nodes.
And if the small thousand worlds are far apart, it might even require crossing dozens of void nodes.
Therefore, long-distance jumps can only be performed by cultivators above the True Immortal Realm.
Otherwise, their immortal energy wouldn't be enough to sustain the boat's flight…
"Fortunately, the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat has an energy storage function, and my immortal energy reserves have also improved significantly…"
"This time, I should be able to safely reach the Black Water Realm, right?"
Su Xing was slightly nervous.
In a previous simulation, his interdimensional travel attempt failed, forcing him to land in a world on the verge of collapse, which significantly reduced his simulation time.
He couldn't repeat that mistake this time…
With this thought in mind, Su Xing glanced at the simulation panel.
[After passing through the first void node, your immortal energy reserves are greatly depleted.]
[So you activate the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat's energy storage function and set it to autopilot.]
[It only takes three days of travel to consume ten million drops of low-grade spiritual liquid, making you feel a pang of heartache.]
[After your immortal energy recovers, you inject more to continue the journey.]
[After a week, you pass through the second void node.]
[Ten days later, you reach the spatial coordinates of the Black Water Realm.]
[The Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat slowly descends…]
[Congratulations on successfully arriving at the Black Water Realm!]
[According to your intelligence, the strongest sect in the Black Water Realm only has Earth Immortal Realm cultivators, far weaker than the Little Qing Yun Realm.]
[But you also know that the Descending Sect has infiltrated the Black Water Realm.]
[The Great Ascension Stage Blood Sprout from before originated from the Black Water Small Realm…]
[And in two years, the opening of the Origin Passage Flower secret realm might lead to another fierce battle.]
[The Black Water Realm is covered by the ocean for 99% of its area.]
[And the location where the secret realm will open is at the bottom of the ocean, ten thousand zhang deep.]
[Su Xing arrives at the location where the secret realm will appear in advance, using a Water Repelling Pearl to carve out an underwater cave dwelling nearby, ensuring that he can enter the secret realm the moment it opens.]
[But at the same time, you are also somewhat worried.]
[The Descending Sect's influence in the Black Water Realm is not weak. Will there be any Descending Sect members present when the secret realm opens?]
Su Xing saw this and felt a little curious.
"This Black Water Realm should be similar to Blue Star, already corrupted by the Descending Sect…"
"But the Old Dragon's strength is mediocre… are there stronger individuals within the Descending Sect in the Black Water Realm?"
Su Xing was worried that a high-ranking Blood-coded cadre might appear, and that would be troublesome.
With this in mind, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[To ensure that you obtain all the Origin Passage Flowers, you continue to cultivate diligently, hoping to raise your cultivation base further.]
[In the thirty-ninth year, your cultivation remains at the late-stage of the seventh layer of the Human Immortal Realm.]
[But the moment the secret realm opens, you are the first to rush in.]
[According to the intelligence you obtained, the Origin Passage Flower is the most precious treasure in this secret realm, hidden in the deepest part.]
[On the third day of your exploration of the secret realm, several other figures also enter the secret realm.]
[You explore the secret realm and, thanks to your "Lucky Star" talent, successfully reach the deepest part of the secret realm and harvest all the Origin Passage Flowers.]
[Just as you are about to leave, three figures surround you.]
[You don't know their identities, but based on the karmic connections surrounding them, they are undoubtedly evil cultivators!]
[One Earth Immortal Realm late-stage, one Earth Immortal Realm early-stage, and one Human Immortal Realm peak cultivator…]
[You speculate that these three individuals are all members of the Descending Sect!]
[A fierce battle ensues.]
[You fight three against one, initially at a disadvantage, but after you cleverly kill the early-stage Earth Immortal, the pressure is greatly reduced.]
[The battle lasts for a full day and night, causing the entire sea to boil.]
[You unleash 1,900 protective sword qi, and with a ruthless, underhanded attack, instantly kill the late-stage Earth Immortal…]
[Only the Human Immortal Realm peak cultivator remains, and you easily eliminate him, then perform soul searching on his body.]
[As expected, the three individuals are indeed Descending Sect cadres!]
[Their codename are Blood Forty-Nine, Blood Fifty-Nine, and Blood Ninety-One…]
[From the three individuals' storage artifacts, you obtain a large amount of spirit stones and spiritual liquid, as well as numerous cultivation resources.]
[The three of them, combined, have nearly ten million drops of mid-grade spiritual liquid in their storage artifacts, as well as several million spirit stones, enough for you to cultivate for a long time.]
[You carefully examine each magical artifact, destroying any with the slightest mark.]
[After confirming that no trace has been left behind, you pilot your boat, taking a month to return to the Little Qing Yun Realm…]
In the real world, Su Xing raised an eyebrow.
"Blood Forty-Nine, Blood Fifty-Nine… and Blood Ninety-One?"
"It seems that the Descending Sect truly knew about this secret realm. In the previous timelines, these Origin Passage Flowers were likely obtained by them!"
Su Xing's understanding of the Descending Sect became more comprehensive.
"It seems that the Descending Sect is stronger than I imagined…"
"Perhaps the cadres ranked within the top sixty are all Earth Immortal Realm cultivators!"
"And Blood Forty-Nine is already at the late-stage Earth Immortal Realm… those ranked within the top forty might be Heavenly Immortal Realm?"
Su Xing fell silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
After the Immortal Realm, cultivation becomes slow and requires a massive amount of resources.
If he were to rob ordinary cultivators, Su Xing wouldn't be able to bring himself to do it.
But these Descending Sect cadres are nothing more than walking treasure chests for him, aren't they?
"Wow, it seems that I have a new way to make a fortune…"
"Ten million drops of mid-grade spiritual liquid… wow, that should be enough for me to cultivate for twenty years!"
The more spiritual liquid, the better.
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, his gaze returning to the simulation panel.
"Next, I need to quickly increase my cultivation to the peak of the Human Immortal Realm!"
[Upon returning to the Little Qing Yun Realm, you immediately enter seclusion to cultivate.]
[With a plentiful supply of spiritual liquid, your cultivation progresses rapidly.]
[In the forty-fifth year, your cultivation reaches the peak of the Human Immortal Realm.]
[After accumulating foundation for five years, you attempt to break through to the eighth layer of the Human Immortal Realm!]
[In the fiftieth year, you successfully break through to become an eighth-layer Human Immortal cultivator!]
[At this time, red-eyed alien races have begun to arrive at the front lines of Heavenly Demon City.]
[You are aware that the Red Moon's arrival is earlier than usual, so you cultivate even harder.]
[Besides cultivation, you also purchase some intelligence about other small thousand worlds near the Little Qing Yun Realm.]
[The vast majority of the small thousand worlds are experiencing alien invasions.]
[Some small thousand worlds have even been completely annihilated by the aliens.]
[This gives you a headache. You can only try to choose worlds that are far from the front lines of the battlefield and relatively safe…]
[In this way, fifteen more years pass.]
[In the sixty-fifth year, your cultivation reaches the mid-stage of the eighth layer of the Human Immortal Realm.]
[As your cultivation increases, you feel that your cultivation speed is slowing down…]
[In the eightieth year, your cultivation reaches the late-stage of the eighth layer of the Human Immortal Realm.]
[After years of investigation, you have a preliminary escape plan. You don't intend to sit idly by and wait for death in the Little Qing Yun Realm; you prepare to escape to other small thousand worlds.]
[In your investigation, you've identified three suitable worlds for escape!]
[They are the Spirit Beast Realm, the Sand Realm, and the Star Realm.]
[You have been to the Spirit Beast Realm before, and it is also experiencing alien invasions, but the severity is far less than in the Little Qing Yun Realm.]
[Based on your deductions, the Spirit Beast Realm will likely be completely invaded after the Little Qing Yun Realm.]
[The Star Realm is the farthest world from the Little Qing Yun Realm, separated by three worlds and requiring thirteen void nodes to reach.]
[Cultivators in the Star Realm all possess unique abilities, able to harness the power of stars to enhance themselves, making them generally stronger than cultivators of the same realm.]
[It is also the strongest cultivation world among the three small thousand worlds.]
[But with your current immortal energy, you might find it difficult to reach the Star Realm.]
[The Sand Realm, on the other hand, is located to the west of the Little Qing Yun Realm, a relatively barren world.]
[Due to its barrenness and the relatively strong cultivators within, it is the last of the three to be invaded by aliens.]
[Interestingly, nearly 99% of this world is covered by desert.]
[Furthermore, most cultivators in the Sand Realm possess the Earth Spiritual Root and practice physical cultivation, with over 90% of the population doing so!]
Su Xing saw this and murmured:
"Sand Realm, combined physical cultivation, huh…"
"It seems that harsh environments can lead to changes in the main direction of cultivation…"
Su Xing mused.
He ruled out the Spirit Beast Realm first.
Su Xing had visited this realm before, and Qing Yunzi had found him, indicating that escaping to the Spirit Beast Realm was not safe.
"And the Star Realm… seems a bit too far?"
"Perhaps after I reach the Earth Immortal Realm, it will be safer to go there…"
Su Xing murmured, making his decision. His gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[Based on your deductions, you believe that the Sand Realm is the most suitable for escape. Although this realm is remote and has fewer cultivation resources, you have plenty of spiritual liquid, which is sufficient for cultivation.]
[But the Sand Realm is also quite far from the Little Qing Yun Realm, requiring a journey through six void nodes.]
[You decide to cultivate further, hoping to increase your cultivation base before traveling there.]
[In this way, another eight years of seclusion pass.]
[In the eighty-eighth year, your cultivation reaches the peak of the eighth layer of the Human Immortal Realm.]
[You begin to enter seclusion to break through to the ninth layer of the Human Immortal Realm.]
[You succeed…]
[In the ninetieth year, you have a premonition and successfully become a ninth-layer Human Immortal cultivator.]
[After breaking through to the ninth layer of the Human Immortal Realm, you don't immediately head to the Sand Realm.]
[You have a more important matter to attend to: refining the Earth Origin Pill!]
[Over the years, you have gathered all the materials needed to refine the Earth Origin Pill.]
[So you consume a Spirit Awakening Pill and prepare to begin refining the Earth Origin Pill…]
In the real world, Su Xing's heart stirred, and he silently recited:
"Use immersive simulation. Duration: 30 days…"
[Ding…]
His vision shifted, and Su Xing's consciousness entered the simulator.
"Eleventh-grade Earth Origin Pill… with the Pill Dao Grandmaster talent and the Spirit Awakening Pill, I wonder how long it will take to learn?"
Su Xing pursed his lips. Currently, his understanding of Pill Dao was only enough to barely refine tenth-grade pills, far from the level of a Pill Dao Grandmaster.
But if he successfully refines the Earth Origin Pill, he would officially cross the threshold into the Pill Dao Grandmaster realm.
"The Earth Origin Pill is a minor pill… perfect for building up my proficiency!"
Su Xing thought to himself.
In the Three Thousand Worlds, pills were also categorized as major and minor.
Major and minor pills did not refer to the quality or grade of the pill, but rather the refining time and number of times they could be consumed.
For example, the Nine Turn Pill, which takes tens of days to refine and can only be consumed once in a lifetime, is a major pill.
The Earth Origin Pill, Yuan Martial Pill, and others, on the other hand, are minor pills. They can be refined multiple times a day, with each refining process taking only a few hours.
They can also be consumed long-term to assist in cultivation; these are minor pills.
Su Xing consumed the Spirit Awakening Pill, activating the heightened intellect buff. Combined with the Late Bloomer talent, one month of refining would be equivalent to twenty years!
The Pill Dao Grandmaster talent further enhanced Su Xing's understanding of Pill Dao, making it instantly clear.
On the first day of the immersive simulation, Su Xing refined two batches of Earth Origin Pills, both of which failed.
After that, Su Xing refined two batches every day, all of which failed…
But through these failures, Su Xing summarized his experiences, feeling that his mastery of the Earth Origin Pill and his understanding of Pill Dao were rapidly improving.
Until the fifteenth day.
When Su Xing refined the Earth Origin Pill, a flash of inspiration struck him, and the entire process proceeded smoothly.
Just as the pill was about to be formed, a slight mistake occurred, resulting in three substandard Earth Origin Pills.
"Hmm… after half a month, I've managed to refine substandard Earth Origin Pills. At this rate… I should be able to master the basics within a month!"
Su Xing took a deep breath and continued refining.
In this way, by the twenty-third day, Su Xing's success rate in refining the Earth Origin Pill had reached 10-20%.
He had truly reached the beginner level in refining the Earth Origin Pill.
Looking at the silver-white pill in his hand, which contained a faint trace of elemental energy, Su Xing nodded with satisfaction.
"The Earth Origin Pill… is used to assist the blooming of the elemental energy flower within the body… stimulating elemental energy growth to reach the second layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Art and aid in cultivation at that stage!"
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction.
For the remaining seven days of the immersive simulation, Su Xing didn't waste any time and continued to refine the Earth Origin Pill.
…
The immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing's consciousness returned.
Recalling the memories of refining the Earth Origin Pill in his mind, Su Xing summarized:
"A month of immersive simulation, and my success rate in refining the Earth Origin Pill has reached 30%, firmly mastering the basics… but there's still a considerable gap before I reach the intermediate level."
"However, my Pill Dao skills have now reached the Grandmaster level!"
"Once I completely master the Earth Origin Pill, refining eleventh-grade pills won't be so difficult in the future…"
Su Xing was quite satisfied with this.
His gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[You spend a month successfully mastering the basics of refining the Earth Origin Pill.]
[Afterwards, you immediately prepare to travel to the Sand Realm…]
[You arrive at the southwest spatial node of the Little Qing Yun Realm, activate the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, and head into the void…]
[After seven days, you cross the first void node.]
[You continue towards the Sand Realm…]
[Crossing the void and traveling to other worlds is more difficult than you imagined.]
[For the first four void nodes, you are still able to alternate between using spiritual liquid and immortal energy to ensure the smooth operation of the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat.]
[But after more than a month of void travel, before attempting to cross the fifth void node, your immortal energy begins to become unstable.]
[At this point, you understand that the void, devoid of spiritual energy and with its unique environment, is an incredibly harsh environment for cultivators.]
[Cultivators with abundant immortal energy can endure for a long time, and even though your foundation is deep and your immortal energy is comparable to that of a typical early-stage Earth Immortal, it is still insufficient to sustain the journey.]
[Fortunately, the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, as a half-step innate treasure, is incredibly resilient, exceeding your expectations.]
[Despite the setbacks and hiccups in the latter part of the journey, the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat ultimately safely crosses all six void nodes and arrives at the Sand Realm!]
[But when landing in the Sand Realm, the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat's external and internal arrays are damaged to varying degrees.]
[You are forced to make an emergency landing, and the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat is no longer able to continue traveling.]
[In this simulation, you can only remain within the Sand Realm…]
[Upon arriving in the Sand Realm, the first thing you do is investigate the composition of the forces within.]
[According to the intelligence you obtained, there are Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators in the Sand Realm…]
[And they are purely physical cultivators comparable to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Their physical cultivation was honed in the extremely harsh environment of the Sand Realm.]
[Cultivators in the Sand Realm are exceptionally united, residing in the few oases that exist.]
[What surprised you is that the cultivators of this realm are incredibly skilled in the Way of Puppets.]
[After confirming that the cultivators of the Sand Realm are formidable and that the alien invasion situation isn't too severe, you carve out a cave dwelling in the depths of the desert.]
[To your surprise, the Sand Realm is abundant in Earth and Fire spiritual energy. Because you possess the Fire Flame Divine Body, your cultivation speed slightly increases…]
