Chapter 155: Chapter 133: New Talent, Seek Good Fortune and Avoid Disaster! (Second Update)
[Ding! This simulation used up 3,700 energy points, 44.98 million points remaining, with unlimited simulation attempts left.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Drawing a green talent costs 1,000 energy points, a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, and drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 energy points. Would you like to draw?]
“Draw the purple talent!”
Su Xing said boldly, for him now, 100,000 energy points were just pocket change.
[Congratulations on obtaining the purple talent: Seek Fortune and Avoid Misfortune!]
“Hmm? Seek Fortune and Avoid Misfortune… This talent seems quite interesting!”
Su Xing’s gaze shifted to the description of the talent.
[Seek Fortune and Avoid Misfortune]: Purple Talent, you have an inherent fate protection that keeps misfortune at bay. When encounter unlucky events, you often manage to turn danger into safety.
Description: An airplane crashes from tens of thousands of meters in the air, but you miss the flight due to a traffic jam; A massive ship sinks to the bottom of the ocean, yet you get picked up early by a rescue boat because of seasickness-induced diarrhea.
Su Xing thoughtfully considered the “Seek Fortune and Avoid Misfortune” talent in front of him.
His first thought was that this thing seemed to be a perfect match with the previously obtained talent “I Can’t Be the Only Unlucky One!”
“Goodness, ‘I Can’t Be the Only Unlucky One’ is like a nuclear weapon that ignores friends and foes, strong but with too many side effects… But this Seek Fortune and Avoid Misfortune seems to resolve that!”
Su Xing’s eyes lit up as if he had discovered a combo between talents!
Entering the Descending Sect alone, he made the entire sect extinct without anyone noticing, and he left unscathed…
“Sss, this looks very promising!”
Su Xing was very interested in this Seek Fortune and Avoid Misfortune talent.
“But to see how effective this talent really is, I’ll have to check future simulations…”
His gaze turned towards the simulation panel.
[In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize you are in a simulation.]
[You attempt to use your Seek Fortune and Avoid Misfortune talent, but since your luck has always been good and you haven’t encountered any misfortunes, it can’t be displayed.]
[So you deliberately go to a herb shop and buy two catties of arsenic, gulping it down.]
[With your Divine Strength Realm physique, the arsenic has no effect on you whatsoever.]
[However, weirdly, after drinking a catty of arsenic, you end up with diarrhea. So you confront the shop owner with the arsenic.]
[Just then, the market management bureau happens to pass by, they verify the arsenic is actually expired, and the shop owner has to compensate you with half a million.]
Su Xing chuckled when he saw this, exclaiming in surprise:
“Is this Seek Fortune and Avoid Misfortune talent truly divine?”
“If I were an ordinary person, eating this arsenic would mean I wouldn’t die but just get diarrhea and make half a million?”
Su Xing continued to test with laughter.
[You go to the bank to withdraw money and run into robbers, but the robbers forget to load bullets in their guns, and you subdue them with one move, earning the “Good Citizen of the City” award!]
[You go swimming in the river and get bitten by a harmless snake, which is identified by the biological association as a species extinct for two thousand years, earning you a substantial monetary reward.]
[You jump off a high-rise building…]
After several attempts, Su Xing finally confirmed.
The talent does not activate under normal circumstances, only triggering in dangerous situations or when luck is not on his side, helping Su Xing turn danger into safety.
Consecutive brushes with death, yet Su Xing suffers no losses; on the contrary, he gains several rewards.
“Tsk tsk, it seems this talent really does make a perfect match with ‘I Can’t Be the Only Unlucky One’!”
Su Xing muttered to himself, ready to start the normal simulation.
[After testing the new talent, you are very satisfied and begin your routine alchemy.]
[A month later, Jin Congxue handed over the collected medicinal ingredients to you, and you used them to refine five top-quality Life Extension Pills.]
[For safety’s sake, this time you did not publicly seek out the Baili Business Association.]
[After learning the location of the Baili Business Association, you took a Disguise Pill and a Breath-Concealing Pill to ensure your true identity would not be exposed, then headed to Guang Province.]
[On a dark and windy night, you entered the Baili family’s courtyard alone and snuck into Baili Tu’s room to propose a trade.]
[Baili Qi, seeing your disguise and the astonishingly terrifying aura you emitted, could only try to stabilize you first and asked what trade you wanted to make.]
[You took out a top-quality Life Extension Pill and told him it could extend his life by five years, and in exchange, you needed the Instance Dungeon Items from Baili Qi’s collection!]
[When Baili Tu saw the Life Extension Pill in your hand, a look of longing flashed in his eyes, but not knowing your identity, he dared not act rashly and could only agree temporarily.]
[Unexpectedly, the guards and retainers of the Baili family all rushed over, among them a Martial Emperor Level powerhouse.]
[Seeing this, you snorted coldly, and took on the Martial Emperor by yourself, not at a disadvantage.]
[After pushing back the Martial Emperor, you stated that if the old master was unwilling to make the trade, you would leave right then.]
[Seeing this, Baili Tu grew anxious, as the Life Extension Pill you held was the very thing he longed for.]
[Eventually, you met with Baili Qi and traded the pill with him, and after some haggling, you exchanged one top-quality Life Extension Pill for half of Baili Qi’s “treasures”.]
[After leaving the Baili household, you sneaked away in various disguises and stayed in the Spirit Field Blessed Land for several days, making sure you had shaken off anyone following you before returning to Kyoto.]
[Who would have thought that half a month later, your identity would still be discovered, and after the Baili family conducted an investigation, they personally came to you seeking more Life Extension Pills.]
Su Xing frowned slightly and muttered to himself,
“Isn’t trading under a concealed identity supposed to be safe? Where did it go wrong?”
Su Xing was puzzled. With the Disguise Pill plus the Breath-Concealing Pill, and being as careful as he was, he should not have been discovered…
“Could it be, there’s something wrong with those Instance Dungeon Items?”
Su Xing’s thoughts shifted, and his gaze turned to the simulation panel.
[You carefully checked the batch of Instance Dungeon Items, but there were too many, and you simply didn’t have the time to inspect each one.]
[So you directly asked Baili Qi how he discovered your identity. Baili Qi apologized to you and gave you another batch of items, telling you that he had hidden a location-tracking item among the Instance Dungeon Items, thus learning your identity and location.]
[Feeling somewhat helpless, you harbored some resentment towards the Baili Business Association, but considering the compensation, you did not say much more.]
[In the following months, your identity was exposed again and spread to various powers within the Great Xia Country.]
[Countless people came flocking to you, offering vast sums of money for your Life Extension Pills, undeniably bringing you quite a bit of trouble.]
[You could only manage the situation temporarily until one day, Damned Zong found you.]
[He still believed that you were a cultivator who had come from some Instance Dungeon, and that you had taken over your own body.]
[You did not bother to explain further, and made a deal with him, exchanging two Life Extension Pills for a considerable amount of precious Spiritual Medicine, and you successfully joined the Descending Sect.]
[Afterward, you and Damned Zong became brothers on the surface, to outsiders your relationship seemed very tight, but both of you had your own schemes.]
[A few days later, you got in touch with Luo Shuying, and after some conversation, you gained her trust.]
[Luo Shuying helped you obtain a large amount of medicinal ingredients, and you started to concoct elixirs.]
[In just a few months, you refined thousands of Soul Condensing Pills, as well as many Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills.]
[You tried taking Soul Condensing Pills to see if your Divine Sense could continue to grow, but it had hit a bottleneck, and you saw no increase for several months.]
[Having no choice, you devoted all your energy to refining the Infant Tempering Pills.]
[Every day you studied the Infant Tempering Pills, and as you continued to refine them, your Alchemy Skills became increasingly refined.]
[After several months of effort, your skills in refining Infant Tempering Pills finally broke through to the Mahayana Level!]
[Later, it took you another two weeks to concoct ten top-quality Infant Tempering Pills, and you were officially ready for your perfect Nascent Soul breakthrough!]
[You chose an auspicious day, and after making sure there would be no disturbances, you entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land.]
[After swallowing two Mind Clarity Pills and adjusting your state of mind to a selfless realm, you were ready for the breakthrough!]
