“I choose to bring out the Dual Spirit Roots of Wood and Fire talent!”
【Ding, you have chosen to bring out the Dual Spirit Roots of Wood and Fire (Green Talent), consuming 10,000 energy points. Remaining energy: 8,040 points.】
【Ding, it has been detected that you already possess the same type of White Talent Spirit Root holder. The Dual Spirit Roots of Wood and Fire talent will overwrite it.】
With the blessing of the Dual Spirit Roots of Wood and Fire, Su Xing’s senses became sharper.
He took out a spirit stone to cultivate and could clearly feel the refreshing sensation of spiritual energy entering his body.
“Hoo… As expected of the Dual Spirit Roots, my cultivation efficiency has increased significantly!”
A slight smile appeared on Su Xing’s lips. Having this Dual Spirit Root meant that Su Xing could at least obtain the special reward from that mysterious elder.
A bag of spiritual seeds and the “Divine Farmer’s Spiritual Cultivation Technique” technique.
Divine Farmer’s Spiritual Cultivation Technique, an immortal technique valued at 1 billion energy points!
To put it in perspective, the half of the Everlasting Spring Technique he previously acquired was only worth 3,000 energy points.
This showed how precious the Divine Farmer’s Spiritual Cultivation Technique was.
However, Su Xing also fell into deep thought.
The elder was mysterious and possessed such a valuable immortal technique, indicating he was a significant figure in the cultivation world. If Su Xing could become his disciple, he would surely gain numerous benefits.
“The elder said I hadn’t completed his task and started cultivating too late… He didn’t outright reject me as a disciple.”
“This means I still have a chance to become his disciple!”
Su Xing raised an eyebrow, a plan forming in his mind.
Now, Su Xing had one more simulation opportunity left, allowing him to try again.
Before testing this idea, Su Xing needed to accumulate more energy for support.
“Sigh, only 8,000 points left. To bring back what I want… I need to gather a few thousand more points.”
Although Su Xing had a cheat system, his current state was still that of a struggling novice.
After finishing his cultivation, Su Xing contacted a few junior students to go dungeon leveling.
For the next week, Su Xing continued with the monotonous routine of cultivation and dungeon leveling.
The good news was that after his Qi Refining breakthrough, his speed in dungeon farming and power leveling increased.
The bad news was that Su Xing almost missed his flight to Nanjing City.
Fortunately, he barely made it in the end.
On November 18, 2023, at 2 PM, Su Xing boarded the plane to Nanjing City.
Beijing and Nanjing were thousands of miles apart, so Su Xing would be on the plane for four to five hours.
Once on the plane, Su Xing closed his eyes to rest, but in reality, he was preparing for his final simulation before entering the “Azure Cloud Spiritual Field” Dungeon.
“Start simulation!”
【Consuming 1,100 energy points, remaining energy: 13,780 points, no remaining Simulation Chance.】
【Simulation starts!】
【Extracting white talent costs 100 energy points, green talent costs 1,000 energy points. Proceed with extraction?】
“Extract white talent.”
Su Xing chose the white talent because his simulation goal this time was clear—to bring back his cultivation. Spending 1,000 energy points to extract a green talent would be a waste.
Energy points were extremely precious, so Su Xing needed to be frugal.
The mysterious elder had said he started too late, which obviously meant Su Xing’s cultivation level was too low. Perhaps if Su Xing’s cultivation was higher, he could pass the task assessment.
【Ding, congratulations on acquiring the white talent, Steadfast Appearance!】
【Steadfast Appearance】: You appear steadfast and righteous to others, making it easier to gain their trust.
Su Xing nodded slightly at this talent. It wasn’t great, but it was somewhat useful.
【On the plane, you realized you were in a simulation. You took a nap to alleviate the fatigue from days of power leveling.】
【That night, you arrived in Nanjing City and found a place outside the city to cultivate overnight.】
【The next day, you began searching for Jin Congxue.】
【By evening, you encountered Jin Congxue, who was about to return to the city.】
【You told her you were lost. Seeing your steadfast appearance, Jin Congxue thought you looked trustworthy and invited you to return to the city with her.】
【Jin Congxue took you along the path she usually traveled. Before long, you discovered the “Azure Cloud Spiritual Field” Dungeon.】
【You both entered the Azure Cloud Spiritual Field Dungeon.】
【You encountered the mysterious elder, who assigned you the task of farming.】
【For the next week, you began to cultivate the field, nourishing the spiritual grains with your spiritual energy. Since your cultivation was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, your spiritual power was quite pure, resulting in excellent growth of the grains.】
【In your spare time, you also helped Jin Congxue with her field.】
【A week later, the mysterious elder rewarded you both.】
【The mysterious elder gave Jin Congxue thirty spirit stones and thirty catties of spiritual rice, then sent her out of the Dungeon.】
【The elder took out a stone to test your aptitude, revealing your Dual Spirit Roots of Wood and Fire.】
【The elder smiled and nodded, rewarding you with a bag of spiritual seeds and the immortal technique Divine Farmer’s Spiritual Cultivation Technique.】
【You asked to become the elder’s disciple, but he refused.】
【Unwilling to give up, you asked what it would take to become his disciple.】
【The elder sighed, saying your talent was decent but your cultivation was too low. If you were a Golden Core cultivator, he might consider taking you as a disciple.】
【You nodded and asked if the Divine Farmer’s Spiritual Cultivation Technique technique could be exchanged for spirit stones.】
【The elder frowned slightly, feeling you didn’t appreciate the value of the technique, but he still gave you a thousand spirit stones.】
Seeing this, Su Xing was delighted and muttered to himself:
“As expected, it’s because my cultivation is too low… As long as I can show enough potential, I might be able to become that mysterious elder’s disciple!”
Feeling excited, Su Xing continued reading.
【You left the Dungeon with the spirit stones.】
【A few days later, you returned to Beijing University and began cultivating day and night.】
【With the Dual Spirit Roots of Wood and Fire, your cultivation progressed rapidly.】
【In the second year, you successfully broke through to the first level of the Foundation Building Stage, becoming a Foundation Building cultivator.】
【In the third year, your cultivation reached the second level of the Foundation Building Stage, and you had 1,000 spirit stones left.】
【In the fifth year, you successfully broke through to the fourth level of the Foundation Building Stage, with only 700 spirit stones remaining.】
【In the seventh year, your cultivation advanced steadily, reaching the sixth level of the Foundation Building Stage, with only 300 spirit stones left.】
【You realized that at this rate, your remaining spirit stones wouldn’t be enough to support your breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage.】
【So you began to use your spirit stones more frugally, converting as much spiritual energy from each stone as possible.】
【That year, you attended your sister Su Nianan’s funeral.】
【In the eighth year, due to saving spirit stones, your progress slowed and you remained at the sixth level of the Foundation Building Stage.】
【In the ninth year, you successfully broke through to the seventh level of the Foundation Building Stage.】
【In the tenth year, you attended your good friend Yu Yan’s funeral.】
【In the eleventh year, your cultivation advanced to the eighth level of the Foundation Building Stage, leaving you with only 100 spirit stones.】
【You remembered that Jin Congxue had thirty spirit stones, but you had been so focused on cultivation that you hadn’t kept in touch with her.】
【You spent six months frantically dungeon farming and power leveling to make money.】
【Due to your outstanding strength, silver level dungeons were easy for you, and you earned two billion in just six months.】
【You found Jin Congxue and offered to buy her spirit stones with the two billion.】
【Jin Congxue agreed, as the spirit stones were of little use to her.】
【With the remaining 130 spirit stones, you resumed your intense cultivation, meticulously extracting spiritual energy from each stone.】
【In the fifteenth year, two months before the giant beast’s arrival, you successfully broke through to the ninth level of the Foundation Building Stage!】
