Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Blue Talent, Innate Divine Strength!
"Everything is going according to plan, now all that's left is to accumulate energy..."
With a deep breath, Su Xing continued to immerse himself in the Spirit Field copy, starting to farm and practice alchemy.
The main source of energy for Su Xing was still the Nourishing Face Pill. Although he could prepare other elixirs for earning energy, first, selling Nourishing Face Pills was less likely to draw attention, and second, the preparation of other elixirs required higher-grade medicinal materials that Su Xing was unable to procure at the moment.
In the following week, Su Xing first spent two days refining a total of thirteen furnaces of Nourishing Face Pills, increasingly raising his efficiency.
With the improvement of Su Xing's alchemy skills, the probability of producing high-quality Nourishing Face Pills had been increasing. Almost three out of every ten pills were a "high-grade version of the Nourishing Face Pill."
"Perhaps, I can put the high-grade version of the Nourishing Face Pills up for auction... One pill can maintain youthfulness for three months, so the price should be over three million!"
After refining the Nourishing Face Pills he planned to sell in advance, Su Xing spent each day planting spirit crops, cultivating Spirit Fields, consuming Spirit Rice, and honing his physique.
Su Xing was reluctant to use Spirit Stones for cultivation as they were dwindling in number; it was best to save them for use in the simulator.
Soon, a week had passed.
In this week's time, Su Xing's Body Refinement Cultivation Level had made significant progress, reaching the second layer of the Bone Forging Realm.
A cultivator at the second layer of the Bone Forging Realm, in terms of combat strength alone, could even be much stronger than a Qi Cultivation Cultivator at the second layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Su Xing's pure physical strength was nearly approaching a hundred thousand catties, and blasting a Silver Level copy monster with one punch was not a difficult task.
As Jin Congxue was busy establishing the Tarot Commerce Association, she did not deliver the rewards personally and instead entrusted a confidant to bring this week's batch of white equipment.
A total of one hundred and eleven thousand pieces of white-quality equipment, after being converted into simulation energy by Su Xing, saw his energy points break through the one million mark for the first time, reaching 1.1 million energy points!
In the afternoon of January 7th, 2024, of the New Era, Su Xing once again activated the simulator.
"Begin simulation!"
[This simulation cost 1,800 energy points. Remaining energy points: 1,107,000. Remaining number of simulations: unlimited.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Drawing a white talent costs 100 energy points, green talent costs 1,000 energy points, and blue talent costs 10,000 energy points. Do you wish to draw?]
With abundant energy, Su Xing naturally opted to draw a blue-quality talent; if he happened to draw a usable blue talent, it would be a huge win.
"Draw a blue talent!"
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining a blue talent, Innate Divine Strength!]
Innate Divine Strength?
This seemed to be a talent related to Body Cultivation!
Su Xing's heart stirred as he hurriedly checked the talent description.
[Innate Divine Strength]: A blue talent. Your strength far surpasses that of an ordinary person, and you possess exceptional talent in physical constitution and Body Cultivation!
Indeed, it was a talent for Body Cultivation!
Elated, Su Xing swiftly contemplated in his heart.
"It seems the purpose of this simulation needs to change..."
Su Xing had originally planned to infiltrate the Descending Sect and take away the second half of the Changchun Technique manual.
But since he had drawn an unexpected talent, Su Xing's Body Refinement Cultivation Level could surely advance further!
Su Xing quickly devised a plan in his heart and began the official simulation.
[Within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize that you are simulating.]
[You discover that your body has become stronger than before; even at the second layer of the Bone Forging Realm, your physical strength is comparable to that of a Body Refinement Cultivator at the fourth or fifth layer.]
[You start to attempt cultivation, and as your talent for Body Refinement is excellent, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level starts to rise swiftly. You are able to eat several bowls of Spirit Rice daily and each meal must include a few Spirit Chicken eggs. Every other day, you also need to stew a pot of Spirit Chicken soup to maintain your cultivation.]
[You begin to expand the population of Spirit Chickens in the blessed land, breeding more of them to provide you with more Spirit Chicken eggs and meat.]
[The second year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level advances to the Great Perfection of the Bone Forging Realm.]
[Looking at your body, full of vigorous qi and blood, you have a premonition that perhaps you don't need to take an Organ Refining Pill and that you might break through to the Organ Refining Realm merely with your Body Refinement talent!]
[You continue to cultivate methodically, devoting most of your time to Body Refinement cultivation apart from alchemy and farming.]
[One day, Wang Qingxuan finds you, telling you she wants to join a certain mysterious organization.]
[After a night of heated discussions, you bluntly express your desire to also join the organization and ask her to introduce you!]
[Wang Qingxuan hesitates for a long time but finally agrees to your request.]
Su Xing felt elated upon seeing this; joining the Descending Sect five years earlier would allow him earlier access to the precious Spiritual Medicines within the sect and breakthroughs in his realm could come earlier!
Thinking over it, Su Xing decided to continue joining under the Shadow Protector as before; after all, based on the last simulation, it was relatively safe under Shadow Protector's command, as long as he did not venture into the inner treasury of the sect, there wouldn't be too much trouble.
With a decision made in his heart, Su Xing continued the simulation.
[Led by Wang Qingxuan, you are also recommended to an Elder within the sect, who is one of Shadow Protector's subordinates whom you had met before.]
[The Elder tells you that once you join the Descending Sect, you must never betray it, and he would assess you for half a year, during which you would only be peripheral members.]
Su Xing frowned slightly upon seeing this, wondering why there had been no such thing as a six-month assessment during the last simulation?
But soon, Su Xing realized.
"That's right, during the last simulation, Wang Qingxuan was already a core force within the sect, so her recommendation must have been somewhat credible. But now, both she and I are newcomers; it makes sense that there would be an assessment..."
Su Xing nodded slightly and decided not to be hasty but to observe for a while.
[In the following six months, you store up strength, persistently train your body every day, and timely complete the tasks given to you by the sect.]
[You can sense that you are just one layer away from the Organ Refining Realm, yet you can't seem to break through.]
[After much hesitation, you begin to demonstrate your value; you start to refine Wound Healing Pills and gift a few to other sect members, "accidentally" allowing the matter of the Wound Healing Pills to be exposed to the upper echelons of the sect.]
[Three days later, Shadow Protector arrives with a few Elders under him to find you.]
[He takes out the Wound Healing Pills you had refined and inquires about their origins.]
[You pretend to be indecisive; Shadow Protector tells you that if you reveal the origin of the elixirs, the sect will not treat you unfairly.]
[You then reluctantly admit that you had refined the Wound Healing Pills yourself and also indicate that you can refine several other types of elixirs but are temporarily lacking the medicinal materials...]
