Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

The rewards for this simulation were indeed substantial, and Su Xing had trouble choosing two out of the six options available to him.

Gazing at the simulated rewards, Su Xing murmured:

“Firstly, let’s eliminate the mastery of Buddhist talent as it seems useless to me… And the last one, the Condensing Spirit Wood, is indeed a good item, but sadly it’s too expensive, 10 million energy points, can’t afford it…”

With such exclusions, the remaining choices for Su Xing were narrowed down to the third layer of Nascent Soul cultivation level, alchemy experience, the Gathering Spirit Flowers, and the Divine Sense Realm.

Alchemy experience was a must for Su Xing, as his alchemy skills had improved substantially during the simulation. He had mastered the ability to multitask with a singular focus and had also learned two new methods of concocting elixirs, the Dragon Spirit Pill and Soul Condensing Pills.

The most crucial point was the hint that came with the option: after absorbing the simulation’s alchemy experience, Su Xing’s alchemy skills would advance to a minor level of mastery, a significant improvement indeed.

As for the remaining three options, Su Xing hesitated for a moment before saying:

“I choose the alchemy experience as well as the Divine Sense Realm!”

Though valuable, the third-level Nascent Soul cultivation was a bit pricey at 2 million energy points. Su Xing’s funds were mainly allocated for the acquisition of Lingyun Commerce Guild properties, leaving him a bit tight on energy to spare for future simulations.

And while the Gathering Spirit Flower was indeed tempting in the long term, having just three was too insignificant for any fundamental change.

Only the Divine Sense Realm was reasonably priced and would improve Su Xing’s alchemy skills, making it a sound choice.

After making his choice, a notification sound reached Su Xing’s ears.

[Ding, you have chosen to take out alchemy experience, spending 1 million energy points, remaining energy 1,523,333 points.]

[Ding, you have chosen to take out Divine Sense Realm (Sensory Realm), spending 500,000 energy points, remaining energy 1,023,333 points.]

As the notifications ended, Su Xing felt a flood of memories entering his mind, scenes of arduous alchemy from the simulation.

Repeated trials, day and night alchemy, twenty years of ceaseless effort to improve…

After a few seconds, Su Xing opened his eyes with two new pill recipes in his mind. He also realized that he had mastered a new alchemy skill, the ability to multitask with a singular focus. This meant Su Xing could now simultaneously concoct two batches of elixirs, instantly doubling his alchemy speed!

“However, this multitasking seems only applicable to the elixirs that I’m particularly familiar with. For those like the Dragon Spirit Pill and Soul Condensing Pill that I haven’t fully mastered, I can’t yet manage to concoct two batches at the same time.”

Su Xing rubbed his temples; the influx of memories had left him feeling somewhat exhausted.

“Now, let’s see the wonders of the Divine Sense Realm…”

With a thought, Su Xing released his divine sense, which instantly enveloped the entire Spirit Field Blessed Land like a tidal wave.

In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, Su Xing could clearly sense every movement of the plants and trees. He could even hear the soft chatter of dozens of chickens in the distant coop.

Standing inside the thatched cottage, Su Xing didn’t need to use his eyes to sense the scenes outside. It was something vision alone could not achieve.

Furthermore, Su Xing’s divine sense could even penetrate dozens of feet through the earth, clearly viewing the spirit veins and the Spirit Gathering Array hidden within the mountain.

The fist-sized spirit stones shimmered with crystal light, continuously providing spiritual energy to the Spirit Gathering Array, then the Array spread the energy throughout the entire Spirit Field Blessed Land.

“Sigh… Once the divine sense is released, I can detect any movement within a fifty-foot radius. It really is mystical…”

A slight smile played upon Su Xing’s lips; choosing the Divine Sense Realm had indeed been the right decision.

With this, Su Xing would be able to better grasp the details when concocting elixirs…

“But what exactly is the Five Senses Realm?”

Su Xing slightly furrowed his brow, it seemed that Divine Sense was divided into various realms, but Su Xing was not aware of the detailed divisions of these realms.

At this thought, Su Xing’s eagerness to obtain the heritage of the Cultivation World grew even more intense.

“In the end, it’s still due to the lack of a master’s guidance, groping along alone is indeed a bit too difficult…”

Su Xing sighed softly.

He took a few eggs from the chicken coop, plucked a handful of wild vegetables from the field, and boiled some Spirit Rice, creating a simple yet delicious meal of the immortals.

After the meal, Su Xing continued with alchemy as usual.

The low-grade Nourishing Face Pill and Wound Healing Pill were already mastered by Su Xing to perfection, saying that he could concoct them with his eyes closed was not an exaggeration.

The bad news was that even though Su Xing had mastered the skill of multitasking, the new Alchemy Furnace had not yet been built, so for the following week, Su Xing could still only use one Pill Furnace for alchemy.

The good news was that after the improvement of his Divine Sense, Su Xing had new insights into the concoction of Nourishing Face Pills and Wound Healing Pills.

“Ah, the more elixirs I refine, the sooner I can take over the Lingyun Commerce Guild!”

So, in the following week, Su Xing ensured more than ten hours of alchemy each day, saying that he neglected sleep and forgot food would be no exaggeration.

Time flew, and a week went by quickly, Su Xing looked at the three thousand Rich Wives’ Happiness Pills and Wound Healing Pills before him and revealed a satisfied smile.

Although the quantity was still three thousand, and the speed of concoction had not increased much from before, the quality had improved significantly.

Out of the three thousand elixirs, the number of superior quality elixirs accounted for more than thirty percent, nearly a thousand were superior quality elixirs, this was the benefit of enhanced Divine Sense!

Of course, with Su Xing’s current skills, it was only in the concoction of low-level elixirs that he could ensure such a remarkable rate of superior quality.

Su Xing turned his gaze to his professional pane.

[Name: Su Xing]

[Age: 21 years old]

[Profession: Cultivator (Unique Hidden Profession)]

[Cultivation Level: First Layer of Nascent Soul Stage, Ninth Layer of Organ Refining Realm]

[Cultivation Technique: Changchun Technique, Secret Soul Condensing Pills Technique]

[Talents: Wood-Fire Dual True Spiritual Root, Innate Divine Strength, Continuous Good Fortune, Pan An-like Countenance, Prosperous Commerce, Plant Affinity (omitted)…]

[Skills: Leaving Fire (Beginner), Alchemy (Minor Achievement), Spirit Explosion Technique (Minor Achievement), Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique (Uninitiated), Fifty Zang Divine Sense (Five Senses Realm)]

Compared to before, Su Xing’s current realm had not changed, and his talents were still ten, but on the skills tab, it could be clearly seen that Su Xing’s Alchemy had reached the Minor Achievement realm, indicating that Su Xing’s alchemy skills had reached a new level.

Not only that, but Su Xing’s Spirit Explosion Technique had also risen to the Minor Achievement realm, and a new skill of Divine Sense had also been added to the skills tab.

Su Xing nodded slightly, as expected, and said:

“Indeed, Divine Sense is categorized under the skills tab…”

As soon as Su Xing left the Spirit Field Blessed Land, his phone lit up with a message from Jin Congxue.

“Big Boss, come early for lunch today, I’ve already ordered the dishes. I’ll update you on the progress of acquiring the Lingyun Commerce Guild, and the Alchemy Furnace you wanted has been forged.”

The corners of Su Xing’s mouth lifted slightly upward. With Jin Congxue around, Su Xing’s life was so much easier. He quickly replied:

“Understood, I’ll be there right away, my lady!”

No sooner had Su Xing sent his reply than Jin Congxue responded in a second: “(Rolling eyes.jpg)”

Su Xing tidied himself up a bit, then headed towards the villa of the Tarot Society.

In the private room, it was just Su Xing and Jin Congxue.

Today, Jin Congxue wore a long white dress and light makeup, making her look like a girl of eighteen or nineteen.

“Hmm, going for the innocent look today…”

Su Xing judged briefly in his mind.

After finishing a lavish lunch, Su Xing brought up the matter at hand.

“My lady, didn’t you say you were going to report on the acquisition of the Lingyun Commerce Guild? How’s it going?”

Su Xing joked with a smile.

Jin Congxue rolled her eyes and said,

“My Big Boss, what time is it and you’re still able to laugh?”

“Do you know? Right now, several top-tier commerce associations in Kyoto are eyeing the big fat piece that is the Lingyun Commerce Guild! The Aotian Commerce Guild, the Alibaba Commerce Guild, they all want to acquire parts of the Lingyun Commerce Guild’s assets!”

Su Xing’s heart tightened immediately upon hearing this; the Lingyun Commerce Guild was crucial for Su Xing’s future talent simulation, and nothing could go wrong.

“What happened? Didn’t we already pay? How could there be a problem at this time?” Su Xing’s voice was urgent.

Seeing Su Xing’s anxious look, Jin Congxue felt pleased and chuckled,

“That’s business for you! Until the last moment, there always could be a few unexpected competitors… What else could it be? Those commerce guilds offered more money, of course!”

“But I’m no pushover either, I threw down a whopping ten billion, which should preliminarily secure the acquisition. If nothing goes wrong, we can start taking over the assets of the Lingyun Commerce Guild next week, which is much faster than I had anticipated!”

After a pause, Jin Congxue then pretended to be pitiful and said,

“Boo hoo, my petty cash is all gone, and now I’m flat broke. I might even have to ask you for money to eat in the future.”

Ten billion petty cash…

Su Xing raised an eyebrow and quickly said,

“Don’t worry, Congxue, you just cover this expense for me for now. I’ll pay you back as soon as possible!”

Jin Congxue rolled her eyes at his words, “Tsk, who said I want your money back? What, am I no longer a part of the Tarot Commerce Association? With such a major acquisition of the Lingyun Commerce Guild, it wouldn’t be fair to have only you footing the bill, right?”

Hearing this, another wave of gratitude surged within Su Xing. Jin Congxue was contributing money and effort, yet in the end, most of the benefits were his.

Thinking it over, Su Xing handed over the Elixirs he had prepared in advance, and said,

“These are this week’s Elixirs, still three thousand of them, but the quality has improved a lot compared to before. Selling them for fifty billion shouldn’t be a problem…”

Jin Congxue was again somewhat surprised upon hearing this. Su Xing making fifty billion from alchemy in a week, his earning ability was almost on par with a top-tier commerce guild.

“Good lord, you’re so good at making money, waaah, adopt me~”

Jin Congxue took the Elixirs and started acting cute again.

The two joked around for a while, and then Jin Congxue took out two Alchemy Furnaces from her Storage Ring.

“Here, these are the Alchemy Furnaces you wanted, made from second-tier exotic metals… To make these two furnaces, I didn’t skimp on using my connections, I even asked the top casting master of the Great Xia Country to forge them!”

“Thanks!”

Su Xing expressed his gratitude and eagerly took the Alchemy Furnaces to play with.

The Alchemy Furnace was less than two feet tall and looked very similar to Su Xing’s Pill Furnace, only it felt different to the touch.

Moreover, the Alchemy Furnace was very heavy. Su Xing estimated that one furnace weighed close to two tons, made entirely of second-tier exotic metals, meaning that just one Alchemy Furnace was worth hundreds of millions!

A delighted expression crossed Su Xing’s face. With these two Alchemy Furnaces, Su Xing could fully utilize his multitasking skill, and his future speed of alchemy would double again!

After handing over the Alchemy Furnaces, Jin Congxue also gave Su Xing a few pieces of second-tier exotic metal, chips left over from the furnace construction.

The scrap metal provided Su Xing with nearly five hundred thousand points of energy.

Thus, Su Xing’s energy climbed back up to one million five hundred thousand points. Although it wasn’t much, it was barely enough for his needs.

Currently, given the critical phase of the commerce guild acquisition and tight funds, he couldn’t spare too much money to buy energy materials, which Su Xing could understand.

However, Jin Congxue gave Su Xing another surprise; she indicated that once they took over part of the Lingyun Commerce Guild’s assets next week, there would be an astonishing quantity of white equipment.

Su Xing was quite looking forward to this.

After discussing business, the two flirted and teased each other for a while, and then Su Xing returned to his dormitory, entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land, and prepared to start a new round of simulation.

On February 25th, 2024, in the New Era afternoon, Su Xing began his simulation on time.

“Begin simulation!”

Su Xing thought silently to himself.

[Ding! This simulation consumes 2500 points of energy, leaving a balance of 1,511,888 energy points, with unlimited simulations remaining.]

[Simulation start!]

[Drawing a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1000 energy points, and drawing a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points. Would you like to draw one?]

“Draw a blue-quality talent!”

Su Xing did not hesitate, although funds were tight at the moment, drawing a blue-quality talent was still well within his means.

[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the blue talent, Glutton!]
