"Longevity": A green-tier talent. You live without illness or pain and can live to be a hundred.
Su Xing: "..."
Upon seeing this newly acquired green-tier talent, Su Xing instantly felt a sense of absurdity.
Bloody longevity for a hundred years?
He was a cultivator, living to a hundred was practically an early death!
Furthermore, in fifteen years, it would be the end of the world. What good was longevity then?
Su Xing sighed.
His original intention was to test his luck, hoping to draw a green-quality spiritual root talent.
After all, in the last simulation, the old man himself mentioned his talent was inadequate, merely a Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root.
And if Su Xing's talent could advance further, perhaps he could acquire better rewards.
"Alas, what a waste of a thousand energy points..."
Su Xing felt a pang of regret but chose to continue the simulation regardless.
"You receive an order from a new junior sister. You go out to train for her."
"For the next month, you diligently train them every day and practice in your spare time."
"Your Qi cultivation has advanced to the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement."
"In the new era of 2023, November 18th, you departed for Jinling City."
"The next day, you pretended to coincidentally encounter Jin Congxue outside the city."
"Using your old tricks, you requested a Buddhist technique from Jin Congxue and obtained the chance to accompany her."
"You took a shortcut back to the city through a small path and unexpectedly stumbled upon the Qingyun Spirit Field instance."
"You entered the 'Qingyun Spirit Field' instance."
"You accepted the task from the old man in the instance, and you began farming."
"Due to your earnest study of farming knowledge, the spiritual crops in your spiritual field grew better than before."
"In your spare time, you diligently improved your cultivation, taught Jin Congxue farming knowledge, and also manipulated Wood attribute Qi to aid Jin Congxue in farming."
"Jin Congxue's fondness for you grew significantly, and you both became good friends."
"On the day of task submission, the old man gave Jin Congxue fifteen spirit stones along with ten pounds of spiritual rice as a reward."
"The old man had you place your hand on a transparent stone. After the test, your talent was still a Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root."
"The old man sighed and gave you thirty-five spirit stones along with thirty pounds of spiritual rice."
"Not giving up, you wanted to apprentice yourself to the old man."
"The old man shook his head gently and frankly stated your qualifications were too poor, with no hope for longevity. You were asked to leave the instance."
"You stayed in Jinling City for more than ten days and became good friends with Jin Congxue."
"You returned to Kyoto and resumed selling equipment."
"Several months later, Wang Qingxuan found you, and you used your old tricks again."
"Five years passed, your business grew larger, and your wealth exceeded a billion."
"You kept the newly acquired thirty-five spirit stones and kept ten pounds of spiritual rice."
"In five years, your Qi cultivation reached the Great Consummation of Qi Refinement, and your body forging cultivation ascended to the first level of Bone Tempering."
"Wang Qingxuan found you again and brought the upper half of the Changchun Technique. You refused and asked her to help find the lower half."
"In the seventh year, your younger sister, Su Nian'an, passed away, and you attended her funeral."
"In the tenth year, your good brother, Yu Yan, passed away, and you attended his funeral."
"In the eleventh year, the market experienced a fluctuation, and your value multiplied tenfold."
"You found Jin Congxue. Over these years, you've maintained contact with her, and you asked her for the fifteen spirit stones. She gifted them to you without any cost."
"In the fifteenth year, a colossal beast descended."
"You raised a middle finger at the beast."
"The beast swallowed the entire Da Xia Kingdom, and you died at the age of thirty-six!"
"You activated the talent, 'Die Without Regret.'"
"Ding, simulation ended!"
"You may choose one reward from the following: Longevity (Talent), Second Stage of Bone Tempering (Cultivation), Great Consummation of Qi Refinement (Cultivation), Fifty spirit stones (Item), Ten pounds of spiritual rice (Item)."
Su Xing took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and looked at the available rewards.
"Longevity": A green-tier talent, priced at 10,000 energy points.
"Second Stage of Bone Tempering": Cultivation, priced at 2,000 energy points.
"Great Consummation of Qi Refinement": Cultivation, priced at 900 energy points.
"Fifty spirit stones": Item, priced at 50,000 energy points.
"Ten pounds of spiritual rice": Item, priced at 10,000 energy points.
Su Xing decisively chose the reward of fifty spirit stones, although spending 50,000 energy points caused him some distress, these spirit stones were essential to him.
Then, Su Xing glanced at the description of the spiritual rice.
"Spiritual Rice: Rice nourished by spiritual energy and springs, delicious and sweet, long-term consumption improves physique, strengthens the body, and prolongs life."
Su Xing's expression confirmed the description.
The reason behind his breakthrough to the Second Stage of Bone Tempering stemmed from this spiritual rice.
However, due to this simulation, he lost the Fitness Enthusiast talent, thus his simulated realm was not as high as before.
"It seems the plan needs some adjustments. It's not just about the spirit stones; I also need to accumulate some of this spiritual rice..."
Su Xing narrowed his eyes, contemplating silently.
"Ring, ring, ring..."
Just then, Su Xing's phone rang.
"Hello, Senior Su, do you have an appointment this afternoon? I want to ask you to help us level up!"
Su Xing nodded upon hearing this, saying, "Sure, bring Wang Qingxuan along, I'll help her level up too!"
"Okay, Senior!"
After getting ready, Su Xing prepared to head out.
Soon, at the designated place, he saw six or seven elegantly dressed junior sisters.
And there, hiding behind the crowd, was Wang Qingxuan, feeling a bit shy.
Standing at the corner, she occasionally stole glances at Su Xing, her pretty face slightly flushed.
Pretending not to notice, Su Xing continued his monster hunting as usual.
During this time, whenever Su Xing went to do instance runs, he would occasionally call upon Wang Qingxuan, even allowing her to owe him in the form of IOUs, to be repaid later.
Naturally, the goal was to maintain a good relationship with Wang Qingxuan. After all, her clue about the mysterious organization was crucial, especially concerning the latter half of the Changchun Technique. However, Su Xing currently didn't have the time to delve into it.
According to Su Xing's findings, Wang Qingxuan should not have come into contact with the mysterious organization temporarily. Her true contact with the organization would probably occur ten months later.
But that didn't affect Su Xing's plan to increase her favorability! There would be a day when it would be useful.
Time flew by, and a week passed quietly.
During this week, Su Xing earned just under half a million, all of which he converted into simulation energy.
On October 28th, 2023, in the new era, Su Xing was preparing for a simulation in his dorm.
"Start simulation!"
"Consuming 800 energy points, remaining energy 208,700, no remaining simulation attempts."
"Simulation started!"
"Drawing a white-tier talent costs 100 energy points, green-tier talent costs 1000 energy points. Would you like to draw?"
"Draw a green-tier talent."
Su Xing still wanted to test his luck since a green-quality spiritual root talent was crucial to him.
"Ding, congratulations on acquiring the green-tier talent, Sword Dao Genius!"
