Chapter 213: Chapter 154: Birth of Spiritual Liquid, First Exploration of Ancient Tomb Ruins! (5000 words)_2
Su Xing reminisced that the Fortune Seeking and Calamity Avoidance talent could help one avoid dangers to the greatest extent and lead things in a positive direction.
But now, just as he was about to smash the boulder, he received a warning from the Fortune Seeking and Calamity Avoidance talent.
This made it hard not to let one’s imagination run wild. Perhaps entering the relics would be dangerous?
Su Xing pondered for a while, then shook his head and said:
“It’s just a simulation. Even if there are dangers inside the relics, it’s just a death; no real loss…”
“But, the simulation has only been going for a dozen years, and there are ten years left—enough for my Qi Refining Cultivation to reach a higher level…”
“Maybe, I should wait until I reach the Fourth Layer of Divinity Transformation before exploring this relic?”
Clearly, it was a more cost-effective choice to cultivate further to improve his realm and explore just before the simulation limit was reached.
Thinking this, Su Xing turned his gaze towards the Simulation Panel.
[The warning from the Fortune Seeking and Calamity Avoidance talent made you temporarily abandon entering the relic.]
[You decided to break through to the Fourth Layer of Divinity Transformation first before exploring.]
[So, you discreetly marked the location of the boulder and then exited the dungeon, returning to the real world.]
[Immediately, you entered your portable Spirit Field and began cultivating day and night.]
[In the seventeenth year, you cultivated ten hours each day. The dense spiritual energy in the cave caused your cultivation level to improve rapidly.]
[Unfortunately, your grasp of Origin Force remained at the entanglement level, with only slight improvements. You hoped to trigger an enlightenment.]
[In the eighteenth year, you entered a favorable stage of cultivation. As your mind state improved, you felt that your cultivation speed increased as well.]
[You still did not trigger enlightenment, and your Origin Force was still at the entanglement level.]
[In the nineteenth year, one day you were surprised to find a crystal-clear droplet on the petals of the Gathering Spirit Flower in the Blessed Land cave.]
[This wasn’t the natural dew produced by the spirit plant, but a manifestation of liquefied spiritual energy—Spiritual Liquid!]
[There is a significant difference between spirit dew and Spiritual Liquid. Spirit dew is a sacred healing substance and can be used as an auxiliary ingredient in many healing pills.]
[However, Spiritual Liquid is like Spirit Stone, aiding cultivators in their practice!]
[Though it was just one drop of Spiritual Liquid, it signaled that the concentration of spiritual energy in the Spirit Field Cave had reached the level to produce Spiritual Liquid!]
Su Xing felt a surge of emotion and joy.
“Spiritual Liquid! After the Spirit Field Blessed Land upgraded to a cave, it can produce Spiritual Liquid now!”
Su Xing recalled the information about Spiritual Liquid in his mind, remembering Shennong Uncle once mentioned it.
Spiritual Liquid, like Spirit Stone, was a universal currency in the Cultivation World.
Compared to Spirit Stone, Spiritual Liquid was gentler and easier to absorb.
Again, Spiritual Liquid had different qualities, each priced differently.
Low-quality Spiritual Liquid equaled one Spirit Stone for ten drops, whereas high-quality ones could be equal to a Spirit Stone’s value, and one drop could even sometimes be traded for dozens to hundreds of Spirit Stones.
“With Spiritual Liquid, my cultivation speed would undoubtedly be faster!”
“Only, I wonder about the quality of this Spiritual Liquid?”
Su Xing felt some anticipation and turned his gaze to the Simulation Panel.
[Upon confirming that the portable Spirit Field could produce Spiritual Liquid, you were overjoyed and immediately set up a Spirit Gathering Array.]
[You spent a month setting up several Spirit Gathering Arrays, carefully arranging and tuning them to gather the surrounding spiritual energy to the greatest extent.]
[In the middle of the Spirit Gathering Array, you also transplanted several Gathering Spirit Flowers, which produced Spiritual Liquid on their petals daily.]
[After a week, you successfully harvested a thousand drops of Spiritual Liquid!]
[On average, you produced a hundred drops of Spiritual Liquid each day!]
[You stored the Spiritual Liquid in a small jade bottle and then consumed a few drops.]
[Then you started cultivating, absorbing the spiritual energy in the Spiritual Liquid.]
[An hour later, you shook your head in disappointment.]
[After consuming the Spiritual Liquid, your cultivation speed indeed had a significant boost, but it was far less effective than directly using Spirit Stones for training.]
[Based on your assessment, this Spiritual Liquid should be of the lowest quality, with ten drops barely equaling one Spirit Stone.]
[Even so, you were satisfied, as you now had a stable source of producing Spiritual Liquid, roughly equivalent to gaining over ten Spirit Stones daily. Over time, this was quite substantial.]
Su Xing nodded slightly at this, muttering:
“Sure enough, just as I thought… The portable Spirit Field in the simulator had just upgraded to Cave Heaven level, and could barely produce Spiritual Liquid.”
“But it’s not bad. I have less than a thousand Spirit Stones left, and usually, I couldn’t afford them for cultivation…”
“However, Spiritual Liquid is better absorbed than Spirit Stones. My cultivation speed will increase further! This is already an unexpected joy, worth being content with…”
Su Xing thus comforted himself and looked at the Simulation Panel.
[In the twentieth year, you collected around 50,000 drops of Spiritual Liquid this year, consumed them all, and improved your cultivation level significantly.]
[In the twenty-first year, the production of Spiritual Liquid in the Spirit Field Cave was stable, and you consumed around a hundred drops of Spiritual Liquid daily. After that, you took the Enlightenment of Heart Elixir and cultivated in a place teeming with spiritual power.]
[In just a few years, your cultivation level was close to the Fourth Layer of Divinity Transformation!]
[In the twenty-second year, your cultivation level finally broke through again, reaching the Fourth Layer of Divinity Transformation, stepping into the midstage of Divinity Transformation!]
Su Xing nodded slightly at this and said:
“Previously, it took seven years to go from the Second Layer of Divinity Transformation to the Third Layer. Now, breaking through from the Third Layer to the Fourth Layer should have been harder, yet it still took just seven years… It must have been the boon of the Spiritual Liquid!”
