Chapter 213: Chapter 154: The Birth of Spiritual Liquid, First Exploration of Ancient Tomb Ruins! (5k)_2
It was hard not to let one's imagination run wild; perhaps entering the ruin could be dangerous?
Su Xing contemplated for a while and then shook his head, saying,
"It's just a simulation after all, even if there are dangers inside the ruin, at worst it's death, which really isn't much of a loss..."
"But now, the simulation has only progressed a few decades, and the remaining ten years could completely allow my Qi Refining Cultivation to climb to the next level..."
"Perhaps, I could wait until reaching the fourth layer of Divinity Transformation, then explore this area of the ruin?"
Clearly, cultivating further to improve his realm and then exploring the ruin when the simulation was about to reach its limit was the most cost-effective choice.
Thinking this, Su Xing's eyes turned towards the simulation panel.
[The prompt from the talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster made you temporarily give up entering this ruin.]
[You plan to break through to the fourth layer of Divinity Transformation first, then proceed with exploration.]
[Then you secretly noted the location of the boulder, afterward exiting the instance and returning to the real world.]
[Immediately after, you entered the portable Spirit Field and began cultivating day and night.]
[In the seventeenth year, you cultivated for ten hours each day, and the dense Spiritual Energy in the spirit cavern greatly advanced your Cultivation Level.]
[Regrettably, your grasp over Origin Force was still stuck at the entwining level, with only slight improvement, and you anticipated triggering an enlightenment.]
[In the eighteenth year, your cultivation gradually reached an excellent state, and as your mindset improved, you felt that your rate of cultivation also accelerated.]
[You still hadn't triggered an enlightenment, with Origin Force remaining at the entwining level.]
[In the nineteenth year, one day you discovered with surprise that on the petals of the Gathering Spirit Flower in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, there was actually a drop of crystal-clear dew.]
[This was not a natural dew produced by Spirit Plants, but a manifestation of the liquefaction of Spiritual Energy, it was Spiritual Liquid!]
[The difference between Spirit Dew and Spiritual Liquid is significant; Spirit Dew is a holy object for healing, and can be used as a supplement in various Healing Pills.]
[Whereas Spiritual Liquid, similar to a Spirit Stone, can assist Cultivators in their cultivation!]
[Even though it's just one drop of Spiritual Liquid, it gave you a signal; the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Field Cave has reached a level capable of producing Spiritual Liquid!]
As Su Xing saw this, his heart stirred, followed quickly by elation.
"Spiritual Liquid! This Spirit Field Blessed Land has been promoted to a Cave and can actually produce Spiritual Liquid!"
Memories of Spiritual Liquid information surfaced in Su Xing's mind; Uncle Shennong had once mentioned Spiritual Liquid.
Spiritual Liquid, like Spirit Stones, is a commonly accepted currency in the Cultivation World.
Compared to Spirit Stones, Spiritual Liquid is milder and easier to absorb.
There are also different qualities of Spiritual Liquid, with prices varying accordingly.
Liquid of the lowest quality is equivalent to one Spirit Stone for every ten drops, while that of the highest quality can equal the value of a Spirit Stone or even fetch tens to hundreds of Spirit Stones for just one drop.
"With Spiritual Liquid, my cultivation speed will undoubtedly be much faster!"
"However, I wonder about the quality of this Spiritual Liquid?"
Su Xing looked forward with some expectation, his gaze returning to the simulation panel.
[After confirming that your portable Spirit Field can produce Spiritual Liquid, you were overjoyed and immediately set about arranging a Spirit Gathering Array.]
[It took you a month, but you successfully arranged several Spirit Gathering Arrays; these arrays, meticulously set up and tuned by you, could gather surrounding Spiritual Energy to the greatest extent.]
[In the middle of the Spirit Gathering Array, you also transplanted numerous Gathering Spirit Flowers, which produced Spiritual Liquid on their petals every day.]
[A week later, you successfully harvested a thousand drops of Spiritual Liquid!]
[On average, you could produce over a hundred drops of Spiritual Liquid per day!]
[You stored the Spiritual Liquid in a small jade bottle, then consumed a few drops.]
[After that, you began to practice your skills, absorbing the Spiritual Energy within the Spiritual Liquid.]
[An hour later, you shook your head a little disappointedly.]
[After consuming the Spiritual Liquid, your speed of cultivation definitely quickened, but it was far from the efficiency of directly using Spirit Stones.]
[According to your judgment, this Spiritual Liquid was only of the lowest quality, and the effect of ten drops of Spiritual Liquid could barely equate to one Spirit Stone.]
[Even so, you were quite satisfied because you now had a steady production channel for Spiritual Liquid, equivalent to gaining over ten Spirit Stones a day; little by little adds up quite substantially.]
Seeing this, Su Xing nodded slightly and muttered:
"Just as I thought... The portable Spirit Field in the simulator has just been promoted to the level of a Cave, obviously only capable of barely producing Spiritual Liquid."
"But that's also fine, I have less than a thousand Spirit Stones on hand, and naturally hesitate to use them for cultivation..."
"However, Spiritual Liquid is easier to absorb than Spirit Stones, so my rate of cultivation will increase even further! This is an unexpected surprise, and I really shouldn't be greedy..."
Su Xing comforted himself in this way, his eyes once again on the simulation panel.
[In the twentieth year, you harvested approximately fifty thousand drops of Spiritual Liquid and consumed all of them, advancing your Cultivation Level every day.]
[In the twenty-first year, the production of Spiritual Liquid in the Spirit Field Cave was very stable, allowing you to consume about a hundred drops of Spiritual Liquid every day, and then consume Mind Clarity Elixirs to cultivate in an area abundant in Spiritual Power.]
[In just a few years, your Cultivation Level had nearly reached the fourth stage of the Divinity Transformation!]
[In the twenty-second year, your Cultivation Level finally made another breakthrough, reaching the fourth layer of the Divinity Transformation Stage and stepping into the mid-Divinity Transformation!]
Seeing this, Su Xing nodded slightly and said,
"Previously, advancing from the second to the third layer of Divinity Transformation took seven years, and logically, the breakthrough from the third to the fourth should have been harder, yet it still only took seven years... Surely, this must be thanks to the Spiritual Liquid!"
