Su Xing looked at the bottles of Nourishing Face Pill in front of him, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
After making the Nourishing Face Pills, Su Xing skillfully scooped out a ladle of Spiritual Spring water from the well.
Su Xing took a big gulp of the sweet and piercingly cold Spiritual Spring water, feeling incredibly refreshed, as it was even tastier than the best drinks in the real world.
With a ladle of Spiritual Spring water in his stomach, not only did Su Xing feel energized, but even his depleted Spiritual Energy began to recover more quickly.
After quenching his thirst with the Spiritual Spring water, Su Xing took an hour to start farming.
First, he watered the Spirit Grains in the Spirit Field, then he tended to the medicinal herb field that he had planted earlier.
The medicinal herbs in the field had started to sprout, and Su Xing had planted more than an acre of them. Although these Spiritual Medicines would take years, even decades, to be effective, they were absolutely necessary in the simulator.
After taking care of the Spirit Field, Su Xing opened up a small plot of land and planted some new spiritual seeds.
Most of these seeds came from Qing Yunzi’s leftover stash, and although Su Xing didn’t recognize many of them, that didn’t stop him from planting them first and asking questions later.
Another portion of the seeds were carefully selected by Su Xing from the medicinal herb market. These seeds were often more spiritual and, when planted in the Spirit Field, could potentially become usable Spiritual Medicine in one or two years.
While they weren’t as effective as those left by Qing Yunzi, they had the advantage of growing quickly and being plentiful in number.
After two hours of hard work, Su Xing felt an unspeakable sense of contentment but didn’t rush to rest, instead heading to the chicken coop he had built.
The dozens of Spirit Chickens, after more than a month of breeding, had become even more plump.
And a few of them were already hatching eggs, with the second generation of Spirit Chickens soon to emerge.
Su Xing skillfully collected some chicken eggs and picked some wild vegetables from outside the Spirit Field, making a large plate of fried Spirit Chicken eggs with wild vegetables.
He also took out Spiritual Spring water and cooked a pot of Spirit Rice.
The rice steamed with Spiritual Spring water and the fried vegetables were fragrant, greatly stimulating one’s appetite.
Su Xing ate mouthfuls of Spirit Rice, tasting a bite of egg and vegetables, and felt even more satisfied.
“Burp~”
After finishing his meal, Su Xing comfortably burped and murmured,
“Ah, if only life could always remain simple, plain, and unadorned like this…”
Su Xing shook his head slightly. Although he too wished to laze around every day, farming and raising chickens, the impending event in more than a dozen years loomed over him like the Sword of Damocles, preventing him from relaxing completely.
After putting some pressure on himself as a reminder, Su Xing was once again full of motivation to start a new round of elixir making.
“Hmm, making more Nourishing Face Pills could also accumulate more money… then I’ll have even more energy points!” thought Su Xing.
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.
Su Xing handed over the two hundred Nourishing Face Pills he had prepared in advance to the envoy sent by Jin Congxue and received white equipment worth a billion Great Xia Coins Jin Congxue had prepared for him.
A total of one hundred and ten thousand pieces of white equipment were absorbed by Su Xing using the simulator, converted into simulator energy.
With this, Su Xing’s simulator energy reached another peak, arriving at a staggering eight hundred thousand points!
The surge in energy points gave Su Xing a great sense of security.
December 31, 2023, of the New Era.
On the last day of 2023, Su Xing initiated his seventeenth life simulation.
Inside the Spirit Field Blessed Land, Su Xing took a bite of a boiled Spirit Chicken egg and activated the simulator.
“Begin simulation!”
[1700 points of energy consumed, 803,000 energy points remaining, unlimited remaining simulation times.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Extracting white talent costs 100 energy points, green talent costs 1,000 energy points, and extracting blue talent costs 10,000 energy points. Do you wish to extract?]
“Extract the green talent… Eh, wait a minute, why is there a blue-quality talent now?”
Su Xing had initially subconsciously wanted to choose the green talent, but he unexpectedly discovered that the talent he could extract had been upgraded by one level.
Therefore, Su Xing asked in confusion,
“Why is there suddenly a blue talent? Why wasn’t there one before?”
Su Xing had simply asked casually, but he didn’t expect to actually receive an answer.
[Ding, because the host was really too poor before, now that you have enough energy, you can naturally activate the next level of talent…]
Su Xing: ???
Damn, does even the system discriminate against the poor nowadays?
Su Xing was dissatisfied, but he still chose the blue talent.
“I want to choose the blue talent.”
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the blue talent, Sword Dao Genius!]
[Sword Dao Genius]: A blue talent, your insight into the sword surpasses ordinary people, and your cultivation speed in the Sword Dao is ten times that of an ordinary person!
Upon seeing this talent, Su Xing paused for a moment; he seemed to have extracted a green talent called Sword Dao Prodigy before.
And this Sword Dao Genius, seemed to be an advanced version of the Sword Dao Prodigy?
“Damn, why does it seem like they really want me to become a Sword Cultivator! But I don’t have a sword manual, so how am I supposed to practice the sword? Could it be time to practice the Sunflower Sword Scripture?”
Su Xing looked down at himself and then shook his head.
It’s so big, cutting it all off would lead to death from excessive blood loss!
Su Xing felt somewhat helpless; he hadn’t expected his first extraction of a blue talent to yield such a “useless” one.
Su Xing decided to continue with the simulation.
[Within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize that you are in a simulation, and during this instance, you decide to make further contact with the Descending Sect to find an opportunity to obtain the second half of the Changchun Technique.]
[You don’t act rashly but continue alchemy and cultivation daily, occasionally keeping in touch with Wang Qingxuan.]
[After more than half a year, one day, Wang Qingxuan sought you out.]
[Wang Qingxuan tells you that a mysterious organization has invited her to join.]
[You understand in your heart that it’s the Descending Sect making another move, and the night after, Wang Qingxuan withdraws from school.]
[You obtain a means of contact from Wang Qingxuan while continuing to produce elixirs.]
[Since you plan to make contact with the Descending Sect, you must demonstrate your value.]
[You know that after making contact with the Descending Sect and revealing your abilities, you will go to one of two extremes. The first possibility is that they might treat you as a heartless alchemy machine; the second is that they will regard you as an honored guest and might even give you the second half of the Changchun Technique.]
[You patiently wait and strive hard to improve your cultivation level.]
[In the second year, your Body Refinement Cultivation reaches the third level of the Bone Forging Realm, with no progress in your Qi Refining Cultivation.]
[In the third year, your Body Refinement Cultivation reaches the fifth level of the Bone Forging Realm, with your Qi Refining Cultivation still hovering at the first level of the Golden Core Stage.]
[In the fourth year, your Body Refinement Cultivation breaks through to the seventh level of the Bone Forging Realm, while your Qi Refining Cultivation remains at the first level of the Golden Core Stage.]
[In the fifth year, your Body Refinement Cultivation reaches the ninth level of the Bone Forging Realm; at the same time, the Essence-Nourishing Herbs you previously planted have matured. You spend over a month creating a total of two hundred Essence-Nourishing Pills, beginning to aim at improving the quality of your Spiritual Energy.]
[Six months later, your cultivation level advances to the second level of the Golden Core Stage, and you feel a significant enhancement in the quality of the Spiritual Power inside your body, with your Mana becoming even more substantial.]
[One day, Wang Qingxuan seeks you out…]
