Apart from this, the whereabouts of the latter half of the Changchun Technique were also clear.
After the next simulation, Su Xing might consider becoming an elder under that sect's protector. By then, he should be able to successfully bring out the latter half of the Changchun Technique.
"Everything is proceeding according to plan. All that's left is to accumulate energy…"
Su Xing took a deep breath and continued to immerse himself in the Spiritual Field instance, starting to plant crops and refine elixirs.
Currently, Su Xing's greatest source of energy remained the Beauty-Retaining Pills. Although Su Xing could refine other pills to earn energy, firstly, selling Beauty-Retaining Pills was less likely to attract attention, and secondly, refining other pills required higher-level medicinal materials, which Su Xing couldn't currently produce.
In the following week, Su Xing spent the first two days refining a total of thirteen furnaces of Beauty-Retaining Pills, gradually increasing his efficiency in pill refining.
With the improvement in Su Xing's alchemy skills, the probability of producing high-quality Beauty-Retaining Pills had increased significantly. Almost every ten pills would yield three "Enhanced Version Beauty-Retaining Pills."
"Perhaps the Enhanced Version of the Beauty-Retaining Pills can also be auctioned… A pill that can maintain youth for three months should fetch a price of over three million!"
After refining the Beauty-Retaining Pills he planned to sell in advance, Su Xing continued daily activities: planting spiritual crops, cultivating the Spiritual Field, consuming spiritual rice, and enhancing his physique.
Su Xing was reluctant to use Spirit Stones for cultivation as he had fewer of them left. It was best to save them for use within the simulator.
Soon, a week passed.
During this week, Su Xing's body refinement cultivation had progressed further and had reached the Second Layer of Body Tempering Realm.
A cultivator at the Second Layer of Body Tempering Realm possessed much greater combat power than a Second Layer Qi Refinement cultivator.
Su Xing's pure physical strength had reached nearly a hundred thousand jin. It was not difficult for him to burst open a Silver-ranked instance monster with just one punch.
As Jin Congxue was busy establishing the Tarot Commerce, she didn't personally deliver the reward but entrusted a trusted aide to deliver a week's worth of white-grade equipment.
A total of 110,000 pieces of white-grade equipment transformed into simulation energy, causing Su Xing's energy value to surpass one million points for the first time, reaching 1.1 million points of energy!
On the afternoon of January 7th, 2024, Su Xing once again activated the simulator.
"Start simulation!"
[This simulation consumes 1800 energy points, remaining energy points 1,107,000, no remaining simulation attempts.]
[Simulation Started!]
[Extracting a blue-grade talent costs 10,000 energy points. Would you like to proceed?]
With sufficient energy now, Su Xing naturally chose to extract a blue-grade talent. If he obtained a useful blue-grade talent, it would be extremely profitable.
"Extracting a blue-grade talent!"
[Ding, congratulations on acquiring the talent "Innate Divine Power"!]
Innate Divine Power?
This seemed to be a talent related to body refinement!
Su Xing's heart stirred. He quickly checked the talent description.
[Innate Divine Power: Blue-grade talent. Your strength far exceeds that of ordinary people. You possess exceptional talent in physique and body refinement!]
Indeed, it was a talent related to body refinement!
Su Xing was delighted and quickly began contemplating.
"It seems the goal of this simulation needs to change…"
Originally, Su Xing planned to infiltrate the Arrival Sect to bring out the latter half of the Changchun Technique. But since he unexpectedly obtained a talent, Su Xing's body refinement cultivation was bound to progress further!
Su Xing swiftly formulated a plan in his mind and began the simulation in earnest.
[Within the Spiritual Field Paradise, you realize that you are simulating.]
[You discover that your body has become even stronger than before. Even at the Second Layer of Body Tempering Realm, your physical strength is comparable to a Fourth or Fifth Layer Body Tempering Realm cultivator.]
[You begin practicing cultivation. Due to your outstanding body refinement talent, your cultivation in body refinement begins to advance rapidly. You can consume several bowls of spiritual rice each day, along with several spiritual chicken eggs per meal. Every two days, you also stew a pot of spiritual chicken soup to support your cultivation.]
[You start expanding the number of spiritual chickens in the Paradise, raising more of them to provide you with more spiritual chicken eggs and meat.]
[In the second year, your body refinement cultivation reaches the pinnacle of the Body Tempering Realm.]
As you look at your fully energized body, you have a premonition that perhaps you won't need to take Body Tempering Pills; relying solely on your body refinement talent might help you break through to the Marrow Refining Realm!
You continue your methodical cultivation. Besides alchemy and farming, you invest most of your time in body refinement cultivation.
One day, Wang Qingxuan finds you and tells you she wants to join a mysterious organization.
After a night of discussion, you express your desire to join this organization as well and request her recommendation.
After much hesitation, Wang Qingxuan finally agrees to your request.
Seeing this, Su Xing is delighted. If he joins the Arrival Sect five years earlier, he could access valuable spiritual medicines inside the sect earlier, allowing him to break through to higher realms sooner!
Su Xing contemplates this and decides to continue joining under the guardianship of the Shadow Protector. According to the last simulation, it was relatively safe under the Shadow Protector, as long as he doesn't venture into the sect's treasure trove.
With his mind made up, Su Xing continues the simulation.
[Under Wang Qingxuan's guidance, you are introduced to a certain elder within the sect, who happens to be the subordinate of the Shadow Protector you previously met.]
[This elder informs you that after joining the Arrival Sect, betrayal is never tolerated. He also tells you that he will observe you for six months. During this period, you will only be a peripheral member of the sect.]
Su Xing furrows his brow slightly upon seeing this. Why wasn't there any mention of this six-month observation in the previous simulation?
But then Su Xing realizes.
"Right, in the previous simulation, Wang Qingxuan was already a core force within the sect, so her recommendation should have had a certain credibility. But now, both she and I are newcomers, and indeed, we might be observed…"
Su Xing nods slightly, deciding not to rush things and instead choosing to observe for a while.
[Over the next six months, you accumulate strength, persistently train your physique daily, and complete the tasks assigned to you within the sect.]
[You can sense that you are just a step away from the Marrow Refining Realm, yet you are struggling to break through.]
[After much deliberation, you begin to reveal your worth. You start refining Healing Pills and give a few to other sect members, "accidentally" exposing the matter of Healing Pills to the higher-ups within the sect.]
[Three days later, the Shadow Protector arrives with several elders.]
[He presents the Healing Pills you previously refined and inquires about their origins.]
[You feign hesitation, but the Shadow Protector assures you that if you reveal the source of the pills, the sect won't mistreat you.]
[You reluctantly admit that you personally refined those Healing Pills and also mention that you can refine several other types of pills, but currently lack the ingredients…]
