Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Chapter 127: Chapter 112: The Legendary Sword, Ink Ice!_2

In this world, could things really align so coincidentally?

This sword, was the weapon that Su Xing obtained in a previous instance dungeon simulation, valued at tens of millions of energy points, but now, due to an unexpected turn of events, it had returned to Su Xing’s hands…

Su Xing had acquired this treasured sword more than a decade earlier than in the simulator.

“Could it really be fate?”

Su Xing murmured softly.

At this moment, the Ink Ice Sword in Su Xing’s hands began to emit a faint humming, as if welcoming Su Xing as its master.

“Truly a fine sword!”

Su Xing held the Ink Ice Sword in his hand, performing a flourish, and felt an unparalleled comfort in his grasp.

Su Xing’s swordsmanship had been honed with the Ink Ice Sword, and now that he had the sword in his hands, Su Xing could use it without any need for adjustment.

It was no exaggeration to say that the Ink Ice Sword had increased Su Xing’s strength by at least thirty percent!

Becoming partially proficient in the Human Sword technique was also one of Su Xing’s main sources of attack power.

Jin Congxue, upon seeing the light humming of the Ink Ice Sword in Su Xing’s hands, was also shocked and said:

“I never expected you to gain the sword’s recognition so quickly?”

“Even for those swordsmen professionals, gaining a sword’s recognition usually takes at least several years… I have never seen someone so compatible with a sword!”

After hearing this, Su Xing raised his eyebrows and said with curiosity:

“Gain the sword’s recognition?”

Jin Congxue nodded slightly and explained:

“Divine swords have a spirit! Although this Ink Ice Sword is not a divine weapon, its legendary quality is already sufficient for it to generate a faint sense of consciousness.”

“And this consciousness will continue to grow stronger as it interacts with its master…”

“A sword with consciousness will even choose its own master, and if it doesn’t like someone, it may even guard against the swordsman, so the suitability of the sword’s character is undoubtedly crucial…”

After listening to Jin Congxue’s words, Su Xing felt an even greater fondness for the Ink Ice Sword; this legendary sword was truly in harmony with his own intentions.

Su Xing believed that in his hands, the sword would definitely exhibit its greatest power.

After carrying the sword close to him, Su Xing resumed discussing important matters with Jin Congxue.

He traded the elixirs he had made over the week to Jin Congxue, and in turn, received the new week’s goods from her.

After Jin Congxue counted the elixirs, her eyes reflected surprise as she said:

“You’ve concocted another six thousand elixirs… Goodness, I really don’t know how you do it, boy!”

After hearing this, Su Xing smiled and kept silent, attributing his success to practice.

Su Xing, multitasking, was able to concoct two batches of elixirs simultaneously, doubling his alchemy speed, and with his talent, he was making low-grade elixirs.

Only one thing to say: it was a piece of cake!

Jin Congxue took the elixirs and then said to Su Xing:

“By the way, about the instance dungeon for mining exotic metals that you asked me to apply for last time, there has been some progress… The military has just released two mining areas for exotic metals that have been previously mined.”

“Ordinary guilds apply for secondary mining areas, which are officially mined for decades, and then when they are no longer needed, they are left for civilian use…”

After hearing Jin Congxue’s words, Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows and asked with doubt:

“A previously mined area, can the quality of the exotic metals still be guaranteed?”

Jin Congxue nodded and explained:

“The mining areas circulated among guilds have actually been mined for over a hundred years, and the efficiency of producing exotic metals in these instance dungeons is extremely low… but there’s still profit to be made, and many guilds are eager for it.”

“But these military mining areas that have only been mined for a few decades are different. Since they haven’t been used for civilian purposes yet, the amount of exotic metals is actually quite abundant… This is already considered the top mining area an ordinary guild could get.”

“Of course, these mining areas can only produce first or second-tier exotic metals, any higher… and they’re already controlled by officials.”

Su Xing nodded slightly.

He really didn’t understand these things, and if Su Xing wanted to obtain a large amount of high-grade exotic metals, he could perhaps contact the officials and demonstrate his own value. Then it would be incredibly easy to obtain a high-grade instance dungeon for mining.

But doing so, although it would dramatically accelerate his energy acquisition, it would be far too dangerous.

Considering the assassination attempt Su Xing experienced during the simulation, he already knew…

Before gaining absolute self-preservation strength, Su Xing would never put himself in danger.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll leave it to you… I don’t really understand these matters anyway,” said Su Xing.

Jin Congxue nodded and replied:

“Don’t worry, it’s basically settled. My relationship with the military is solid!”

“It’s just that the approval process is a bit troublesome. It’s estimated to take at least four to five months, maybe even half a year…”

Su Xing nodded after hearing this, not saying much else, but thought to himself:

Damn, how could your relationship not be solid? The Martial Emperor of the Great Xia and the general guarding Demon-Subduing Pass are your maternal grandfathers…

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Jin Congxue, Su Xing returned to the school and skillfully entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land.

First, he exchanged the equipment and instance dungeon items given to him by Jin Congxue for energy.

The goods of this week totaled 9.8 million points of simulated energy.

Although it wasn’t as much as last time, it wasn’t little for Su Xing either.

An average of ten million energy per week was already more than enough for Su Xing, as long as he saved some in the instance dungeon and did not use immersive simulation.

Of course, if his cultivation level advanced to the Divinity Transformation Stage or the Divine Strength Realm, that might not be enough anymore.

After all, by then, to break through one realm at the Nascent Soil Stage, Su Xing would need a million energy.

For the Divinity Transformation Stage, perhaps ten million would be just enough to break through one level…

“Sigh, in the end, it’s still a lack of energy!”

“Now, I can only hope that Jin Congxue gets the mining rights for the instance dungeon mine approved sooner…”

Su Xing said this and then opened the simulation panel.

On the afternoon of April 22, 2024, in the New Era, Su Xing punctually started a new round of simulations.

“Begin simulation!”

[Ding! This simulation consumes 3,300 energy points, leaving a remaining energy of 24,763,003 points, and an unlimited number of remaining simulations.]

[Simulation starts!]

[Extracting a green talent costs 1,000 energy points, a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, and extracting a purple talent costs 100,000 energy points. Would you like to extract?]

Although Su Xing had already anticipated a future shortage of simulation energy,

when it comes to saving or spending, the mere hundred-thousand point cost for extracting a purple talent was still affordable to him.

Without any hesitation, Su Xing said:

“Extract the purple talent!”

Immediately after, a prompt from the simulator sounded in Su Xing’s ear.

[Congratulations, you have obtained the purple talent: The Brightest Star in the Crowd!]

[The Brightest Star in the Crowd]: Purple Talent, wherever you go, you’re the focal point in the crowd. Even walking on the street, the rate of turning heads is one hundred percent. No matter where you are, you’ll attract the attention of those around you. Of course, sometimes attracting too much attention is not a good thing…]

Su Xing frowned slightly when he saw the newly drawn talent.

The Brightest Star in the Crowd seemed to be a conceptual talent.

Su Xing wasn’t sure what use this thing had and could only try it out in the simulation.

[Within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize that you’re simulating.]

[You take out a mirror to look at your face and find that you’re still as handsome and dashing as ever, with no difference.]

[So you proceed to alchemy as usual, preparing to hand over the goods for the next week to Jin Congxue.]

[It’s at this moment, the Spirit Chickens you’re raising in the coop look at you, jump out of the pen, and come towards you, chirping as if they want to say something.]

[Using your level ten Beast Speech, you successfully hear the chickens’ thoughts: Eh? This bipedal creature is really good-looking! Has any chicken heard that? Everybody, come take a look…]

[After hearing the Spirit Chickens’ conversation, you are speechless, then you quickly renovate the chicken coop again to keep them from coming out to look at you.]

[But in the following days, no matter where you walk, you draw attention. While walking on campus, an old man riding a bicycle nearly gets hit by a BMW because he was looking at you.]

[As a result, you’re hit with a swindle and have to pay out sixty-six thousand!]
