Chapter 14: Green Talent, Sublime Countenance!

"Sword Dao Genius": A green-tier talent, your innate understanding of the sword surpasses that of an ordinary person, displaying remarkable aptitude in swordsmanship.

Upon seeing this talent, Su Xing furrowed his brows slightly and sighed softly.

"Such a pity, Sword Dao Genius is a decent talent... But for my current situation, it holds no significance."

Su Xing's immediate concern was to enhance his spiritual root aptitude or accumulate more cultivation resources.

"Within the dormitory, you took out a spiritual stone and began cultivation."

"Knowing that the Qingyun Spirit Field instance would open in about twenty days, you dedicated most of your time to cultivation and studying agricultural knowledge."

"Twenty days later, your cultivation barely broke through to the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement."

"On November 18th, you departed for Jinling City."

"The next day, you coincidentally encountered Jin Congxue, and through your performance, you both successfully stumbled upon the Qingyun Spirit Field instance."

"You entered the Qingyun Spirit Field instance."

"You undertook the farming task, diligently tending to the fields, and in your leisure time, assisted Jin Congxue in farming."

"After a week, the elder announced the rewards for your tasks."

"You received 40 spirit stones and 40 pounds of spiritual rice as a reward."

"Requesting the elder, you hoped to exchange the spirit stones for spiritual rice."

"The elder agreed, and you obtained eighty pounds of spiritual rice."

"Leaving the instance, you stayed in Jinling City for a few days before returning to Kyoto."

"You resumed your old business of selling equipment, focusing more on enhancing Qi cultivation, leaving the eighty pounds of spiritual rice unused."

"Five years later, you were expelled from school. At this time, your wealth exceeded a hundred million, and with an abundance of spirit stones, your cultivation reached the Great Consummation of Qi Refinement."

"In the seventh year, your younger sister passed away, and you attended her funeral."

"In the tenth year, your good friend passed away, and you attended his funeral."

"In the eleventh year, due to market fluctuations, your value increased tenfold."

"In the fifteenth year, one month before the arrival of a colossal beast, your cultivation broke through."

"You successfully ascended to the Foundation Establishment Stage, with a lifespan of two hundred years."

"A month later, the colossal beast arrived."

"You raised your middle finger at the beast..."

"You died at the age of thirty-six."

"You triggered the 'Die Without Regret' talent..."

"Ding, simulation ended!"

"You may choose one reward from the following: Sublime Countenance (Talent), Foundation Establishment First Layer (Cultivation), Eighty pounds of spiritual rice (Item)."

Su Xing didn't dwell much and chose the reward of eighty pounds of spiritual rice.

In an instant, Su Xing's simulation energy was halved, leaving just over 120,000.

Simultaneously, a bag of spiritual rice appeared in Su Xing's hand.

The grains were clear and distinct, each resembling polished white jade.

Su Xing picked up a grain and tasted it raw.

Contrary to his expectations, it wasn't bitter at all; in fact, it was even tastier than regular cooked rice.

Simultaneously, a faint spiritual energy entered Su Xing's body, improving his physique.

Merely trying one grain, Su Xing reluctantly stored away the entire bag of spiritual rice.

Despite its deliciousness, consuming it now would be akin to seeking temporary relief at the cost of future prospects.

Only by consuming it within the simulator, buying cultivation advancements at a reduced price, could Su Xing maximize its benefits.

"As expected, even with the Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root talent, given enough spirit stones, one can break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

A glimmer of hope arose in Su Xing's heart; breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage would undoubtedly greatly enhance his strength.

However, Su Xing couldn't bring cultivation advancements back from the simulator yet; he needed to amass enough spirit stones.

Because only with an ample supply of spirit stones could he gain greater space for progress within the simulator.

The only regret Su Xing felt was regarding the Sublime Countenance, a green-tier talent clearly impressive but temporarily useless for him.

"I only hope for another chance to draw it in the future..."

Su Xing took out a spiritual stone and began cultivation.

Currently, he possessed ninety-two and a half spiritual stones, using one or two wouldn't pose an issue.

Most importantly, Su Xing discovered that if he didn't start cultivation now, his cultivation when entering the 'Qingyun Spirit Field' instance would likely remain at the first layer of Qi Refinement.

Cultivating at the first layer of Qi Refinement would evidently be too slow for farming. Thus, Su Xing had to ensure his cultivation was at least at the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement to acquire more rewards then.

For the following week, Su Xing devoted the majority of his energy to elevating his cultivation and learning about farming.

Of course, occasionally, he led some freshmen into dungeons for leveling up, maintaining his daily life.

In one week, Su Xing spent half a spiritual stone, successfully advancing his cultivation to the Second Layer of Qi Refinement.

On November 4th, 2023, in the new era, Su Xing began his ninth simulation.

"Start simulation!"

"Consuming 900 energy points, remaining energy 120,000 points, 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 took a deep breath. Including this time, before the opening of the Qingyun Spirit Field instance, he had only three chances left to draw a green spiritual root talent.

"Ding, congratulations on obtaining the green-tier talent, Sublime Countenance!"

"Sublime Countenance: Your appearance appears more ethereal to others, significantly enhancing your attraction to the opposite sex, and greatly improving your talent in photography."

Su Xing: "..."

Seriously, what use is this talent for me!

This is a cultivation world, not a guidebook for urban life!

Su Xing immediately burst into sarcastic commentary.

"Within the dormitory, you unconsciously looked into the mirror and found yourself strikingly handsome."

"That afternoon, while taking the new female students into dungeons for leveling, they seemed absent-minded, frequently stealing glances at you."

"Among them, Wang Qingxuan sneakily glanced at you 278 times that afternoon."

"Over the following period, you received successive invitations from female students to guide them into dungeons, even sophomore students hoped for your guidance."

"You felt quite troubled and rejected all of their requests."

"While dining at the cafeteria, a female classmate asked for your WeChat."

"Furthermore, a talent scout invited you to make your debut, offering an impressive price."

"Your mind was completely engrossed in cultivation, and within the next dozen days, you successfully cultivated to the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement."

"On November 18th, 2023, you traveled to Jinling City."

"On the plane, a stewardess asked for your WeChat and offered you a glass of orange juice."

"You arrived at Jinling City, and the next day, outside the city, you coincidentally encountered Jin Congxue."

"After seeing your appearance, Jin Congxue momentarily paused, her cheeks reddened slightly, and she instinctively attempted to turn away, avoiding direct eye contact with you."

"You took advantage of the situation and asked Jin Congxue for directions. She guided you through a small path, leading you both to the Qingyun Spirit Field instance."

"You successfully entered the Qingyun Spirit Field instance."
