Chapter 61: Chapter 61: New Talent, Wood and Fire Dual-Element True Spiritual Root!
Now that Su Xing had a stable source of energy and the latter half of the Changchun Technique, he could cultivate up to the perfected Return to Void Realm.
What Su Xing needed now was to further enhance his cultivation level and strength.
"Begin simulation!"
[This simulation will consume 2,000 energy points, remaining energy points: 803,000, remaining number of simulations: unlimited.]
[Simulation starting!]
[Extracting a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1,000 points, and extracting a blue talent costs 10,000 points. Would you like to extract?]
"Extract the blue quality talent!"
For Su Xing, who was not worried about energy, blue-quality talents had now become standard.
[Ding, congratulations on acquiring the blue talent, Wood-Fire Dual-type Mutated True Spiritual Root]
[Wood-Fire Dual-type Mutated True Spiritual Root]: You possess a powerful True Spiritual Root, your cultivation talent far surpasses that of ordinary cultivators, and your True Spiritual Root seems to be somewhat different from others, having attributes of both wood and fire.
"Holy shit, I've pulled a cultivation talent!"
Su Xing exclaimed excitedly.
True Spiritual Root, as recorded in the Changchun Technique, is a one in ten thousand existence among cultivators.
Cultivators with True Spiritual Roots often cultivate tens of times faster than ordinary cultivators, much stronger than the previous dual-type Spiritual Roots.
True Spiritual Roots are also known as Single Spiritual Roots which, as the name implies, only possess a single attribute.
For example, cultivators with a wood-attribute True Spiritual Root can only cultivate wood-attribute Cultivation Techniques and absorb wood-attribute Spiritual Energy.
But Su Xing's True Spiritual Root had mutated in some way, not only did he have the cultivation talent of a True Spiritual Root, but he could also cultivate two types of Spiritual Energy simultaneously!
"Good thing it's a dual-type Spiritual Root. Otherwise, if it were a single-type, I wouldn't be able to continue with alchemy," Su Xing sighed in relief.
Alchemy requires having both wood and fire dual-type Spiritual Roots.
The fire attribute Spiritual Root is used to control flames, while the wood attribute Spiritual Root is used to sense the changes of Spiritual Medicine within the Alchemy Furnace.
Therefore, one cannot do without either type of Spiritual Root; only cultivators with both types of Spiritual Roots can cultivate Alchemy.
However, those who usually possess dual-type Spiritual Roots tend to have Pseudo Spiritual Roots, thus alchemists often do not have strong cultivation levels.
Cultivators like Su Xing who have a dual-type mutated Spiritual Root are one in hundreds of thousands.
Su Xing pondered slightly, "Now that my Spiritual Root talent has improved, the next simulations should focus more on enhancing my cultivation level. With the True Spiritual Root, it should be completely sufficient for me to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm within a hundred years, right?"
Su Xing began the simulation.
[Within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize that you are in a simulation.]
[Your Spiritual Root talent has been enhanced, and you feel that the speed of your cultivation is much faster than before. You seize the time to cultivate diligently.]
[The spiritual energy within the Spirit Field Blessed Land flowed into your Dantian's Golden Core like a gentle stream, making a single day of cultivation equivalent to several days previously.]
[In the following year, you absorbed the spiritual energy from the Blessed Land every day for cultivation, without wasting any Spirit Stones. You still had nearly a thousand Spirit Stones.]
[Your cultivation level broke through to the third layer of the Golden Core Stage, and small realm bottlenecks seemed as simple to you as eating and drinking.]
Su Xing smiled upon seeing this. In previous simulations, it would take a year or two to break through a single realm, but this time, he had broken through two realms in just one year—the speed was much faster than before.
[One day, Wang Qingxuan found you and informed you about a mysterious organization.]
[After a night of profound changes, you joined the Descending Sect together with Wang Qingxuan.]
[As usual, you did not draw too much attention in the initial half year, focusing instead on gaining the trust of the Descending Sect.]
[You strived for perfection in completing each task, and all of this was noticed by the Shadow Protector, who started paying gradual attention to you.]
[Your cultivation level broke through to the fourth layer of the Golden Core Stage, and you were ready to reveal your talent in pill concocting.]
[During a certain mission, you purposefully did not use your full strength, resulting in a team member being seriously injured. Just as he was about to say his last words, you produced a Wound Healing Pill and saved his life.]
[Following that, you became inconspicuous as usual, waiting for the higher-ups of the sect to contact you.]
[A month quickly went by without any high-level members of the sect contacting you.]
[You started to grow anxious, as this did not fit your plan. In your mind, that team member should have spread the word about your alchemy skills to receive a reward from the sect.]
[After secretly making inquiries for several days, you found that the sect had not received any word of your talent in alchemy. You were rendered speechless, having saved someone who knew how to repay a kindness.]
[Thus, you deliberately revealed some of your alchemy skills, and after some time, Elder Shadow finally contacted you.]
[The Shadow Protector directly expressed that she had been observing you for quite some time. She inquired about the exceptionally effective Wound Healing Pills you seemed to possess and wanted to know their origin.]
[Your heart leapt with joy, but you maintained an appearance of difficulty on the outside. After repeated assurances from the Shadow Protector, you finally admitted that you had concocted those pills.]
[The Shadow Protector was overjoyed at this revelation. She asked how many Wound Healing Pills you could supply each month.]
[You intentionally underestimated the amount, stating that you could produce at most three hundred Wound Healing Pills a month, while in truth, you could concoct three hundred such pills in three days, leaving the rest of the time for cultivation and idling.]
[The Shadow Protector was ecstatic upon hearing this, promising that as long as you could supply three hundred Wound Healing Pills each month, you would become an Elder-level figure within half a year.]
[You agreed to the Shadow Protector's conditions, revealing that you could also concoct a pill called the Essence-Nourishing Pill, which could permanently enhance the spirit attribute of practitioners.]
[The Shadow Protector was even more excited upon hearing this. You took the opportunity to state that the concoction of both pills was difficult, requiring many precious medicinal herbs, with one Essence-Nourishing Herb needed to produce each Essence-Nourishing Pill.]
[The Shadow Protector sent her subordinates to fetch a large quantity of Spiritual Medicine, including the primary ingredients for the Essence-Nourishing Pills, the Organ Refining Pills, and others.]
[You quietly accepted all the Spiritual Medicine and took out the Essence-Nourishing Herb and another herb, stating that you could produce a hundred Essence-Nourishing Pills each month, but required the sect to supply one hundred Essence-Nourishing Herbs and another herb.]
[The Shadow Protector agreed to your request and immediately arranged for over two hundred herbs to be delivered to you, with the excess being a reward for you.]
[You accepted the herbs and spent a week each month concocting the Essence-Nourishing Pills and the other pills, using the rest of the time to improve your own cultivation level.]
[As the sect's grandmaster of alchemy, you were exempt from any other tasks apart from concentrating on pill concocting.]
[Half a year went by quickly, and with an ample supply of Essence-Nourishing Pills for cultivation, you successfully advanced to the fifth layer of the Golden Core Stage!]
[One day, the Shadow Protector held a grand Elder's meeting for you, and you became the eighteenth Elder of the Descending Sect, codenamed "Elder Medicine".]
