    “I’m about to break through!”

    This thought flashed through Su Xing’s mind, and he quickly began meditating to adjust his breathing.

    Then, Su Xing’s aura surged dramatically.

    Nascent Soul Stage Seventh Realm… Nascent Soul Stage Eighth Realm… Nascent Soul Stage Ninth Realm!

    Nascent Soul Stage Perfection!

    In just a minute, Su Xing’s power had climbed three levels.

    After reaching the Nascent Soul Stage Perfection, Su Xing didn’t rush to experiment with his new power or divine ability. Instead, he continued to sit with his eyes closed.

    After a quarter of an hour, when Su Xing was completely familiar with this power, he slowly opened his eyes and began to understand the increase in strength after his rapid cultivation improvement.

    Whoosh!

    Su Xing thought for a moment, and a ball of flames appeared in his hand, the divine ability Fire Separation Technique.

    Su Xing controlled the flames in his hand, making them dance.

    From weak flames to fierce ones, Su Xing constantly experimented.

    After a while, Su Xing put away the Fire Separation Technique in his hand with satisfaction, and muttered:

    “Not bad. After reaching Nascent Soul Stage Perfection, the thickness of my spiritual force has increased by almost double! And the quality of my spiritual force has also improved!”

    “Even if I maintain the Fire Separation Technique, I won’t feel tired for a day and night now…”

    Su Xing nodded with satisfaction.

    This cultivation increase, aside from the jump in strength for Su Xing, was more importantly… Su Xing could now refine elixirs more efficiently and sustainably!

    After all, for Su Xing now, alchemy was the greatest use of his spiritual force.

    “Nascent Soul Stage Perfection, this is expected… I wonder how effective this ‘Alchemy Prodigy’ talent will be in practice?”

    After the simulation ended, Su Xing began his daily refining of elixirs.

    The cultivation path was long and tedious, Su Xing had to be patient. He had to refine enough elixirs every week, so that his strength could progress faster!

    “Half a year ago, I was just a Qi Refining Cultivator, equivalent to a Bronze-Level practitioner… It’s incredible that in half a year, I’ve become a Nascent Soul Cultivator! I’m close to the strength of a Martial Emperor!”

    While refining elixirs, Su Xing couldn’t help but think to himself. The rapid increase in strength made him a bit smug.

    “Damn! I didn’t control the heat properly, this batch of elixirs is ruined!”

    Until he saw a black mass in the elixir furnace, Su Xing’s face was filled with a black line.

    He had refined this Beauty Elixir countless times, but he had lost focus today and messed it up.

    “Damn it, I can’t get carried away! Stay grounded, Su Xing!”

    Su Xing silently muttered a few times, starting to give himself a pep talk and adjust his mentality.

    Then he continued refining elixirs.

    In just one week, Su Xing refined nearly six thousand elixirs!

    This was the speed he had achieved before when he grinded day and night, but now Su Xing only needed ten hours to complete it.

    His efficiency had indeed improved significantly, which gave Su Xing two more hours of entertainment time.

    As for sleep… For Su Xing, who was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he only needed to meditate and adjust his breathing for an hour a day, and his energy would be replenished.

    Soon, a week passed.

    Su Xing, carrying his elixirs, was about to go to the villa he usually went to and meet Jin Cong Xue, when he received a message from her.

    “Boss! Come early today, I have a big surprise for you! Want to guess what it is?”

    After seeing Jin Cong Xue’s message, Su Xing smiled slightly and replied:

    “Let me guess… You found the high-quality sword weapon I asked you to find for me, right?”

    Jin Cong Xue: “……Come on, can you read minds? How did you guess that?”

    Su Xing: “Hehe! Want me to help you predict, are you looking for love or career advice?”

    Jin Cong Xue: “Stop joking, come over! Or I’ll throw this treasure sword away! (eye-roll.jpg)”

    Su Xing replied a few words and quickly rushed towards the villa.

    Ten minutes later, Su Xing arrived at the villa and saw Jin Cong Xue in a purple dress, with light makeup.

    In two words, stunning!

    As always, Su Xing and Jin Cong Xue first had a meal.

    Then, Jin Cong Xue mysteriously took out a sword box from her storage ring and handed it to Su Xing.

    “Go on, open it and take a look!”

    Jin Cong Xue reminded him.

    Su Xing eagerly opened the sword box and saw a black sword that was as dark as ink.

    Su Xing took the sword out of the box and drew it from its scabbard. Instantly, he felt an irrepressible urge in his heart.

    As if this sword was born for him…

    Su Xing held the sword in his hand, and instantly felt a chill in his heart.

    It wasn’t the kind of chill that made him uncomfortable, but a comforting warmth that calmed his mind and made him feel at ease.

    “A good sword!”

    Su Xing’s eyes flashed with brilliance, this sword in his hand, he seemed to be able to feel the sword’s intention, making him feel at peace.

    Su Xing knew that this was his Sword Fanatic talent working, allowing him to better cooperate with a sword.

    Su Xing looked at the hilt of the sword, and saw a black square jade inlaid on it, with two flowing characters carved on the jade.

    Ink Ice!

    After seeing these two characters, Su Xing was stunned for a moment.

    “This sword, is it Ink Ice?!”

    Su Xing blurted out, not even caring about Jin Cong Xue beside him.

    After seeing Su Xing’s crazy look, Jin Cong Xue rolled her eyes and said:

    “Yes! Legendary weapon, Ink Ice! This is one of the few good sword weapons that drops in the copy!”

    “Do you know how much effort I put into getting this weapon?”

    Su Xing’s heart was completely on the sword at this moment, and he hadn’t even heard Jin Cong Xue’s words clearly.

    Could this be a coincidence?

    This was the weapon he had obtained in the previous copy simulation, worth tens of millions of energy points, but now, it had somehow returned to Su Xing’s hands…

    Su Xing had obtained this sword ten years earlier than in the simulator.

    “Could there really be fate?”

    Su Xing muttered softly.

    At this moment, the Ink Ice in Su Xing’s hand began to hum softly, as if welcoming its master, Su Xing.

    “What a good sword!”

    Su Xing held the Ink Ice in his hand and made a sword flourish, feeling incredibly comfortable.

    Su Xing’s swordsmanship was originally practiced with this Ink Ice sword. Now that Ink Ice was in his hand, Su Xing didn’t even need to adapt, he could use it right away.

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

    Because “Man and Sword Integration”, was also one of Su Xing’s strongest attacks.

    After seeing the Ink Ice sword in Su Xing’s hand humming softly, Jin Cong Xue was also shocked and said:

    “I didn’t expect you to get this sword’s recognition so quickly?”

    “Even those Sword Path practitioners, to gain a sword’s recognition, they need at least several years… I’ve never seen anyone so compatible with a sword!”

    After hearing Jin Cong Xue’s words, Su Xing raised his eyebrows in confusion and asked:

    “Gain the sword’s recognition?”

    Jin Cong Xue nodded slightly and said:

    “Divine swords have spirits! This Ink Ice, while not a divine artifact, is of legendary quality, already enough for it to develop a weak spirit.”

    “This spirit will constantly strengthen in its interaction with its owner… ”

    “A sword with spirit will even choose its owner, if it dislikes someone, the sword in their hand will even defend against them, so, whether the sword’s personality is suitable is very crucial…”

    After hearing Jin Cong Xue’s words, Su Xing loved the Ink Ice in his hand even more. This legendary sword was truly in sync with his heart.

    Su Xing believed that this sword in his hand would definitely unleash its strongest power.

    After putting the sword next to his body, Su Xing chatted with Jin Cong Xue about business.

    He handed her the elixirs he had refined this week, and then received the new week’s cargo from her.

    After counting the elixirs, Jin Cong Xue’s eyes were full of astonishment and she said:

    “You refined another six thousand elixirs… Damn, I don’t know how you do it!”

    Su Xing just smiled and said nothing. No other reason, just practice makes perfect.

    Su Xing was multitasking, refining two batches of elixirs at the same time, his alchemy speed had already doubled, coupled with the talent bonus, he was refining low-grade elixirs.

    Just a piece of cake!

    Jin Cong Xue put away the elixirs and said to Su Xing:

    “By the way, the mining area copy that you asked me to apply for, the one with the strange metal output, there’s progress… The military just got two new mining areas with strange metal, and they’re all mined.”

    “Ordinary merchant associations apply for secondary mining areas, which means they’ve been mined for decades by the government, and then they no longer need them, so they can be left to the civilian sector…”

    After hearing Jin Cong Xue’s words, Su Xing frowned slightly in confusion and asked:

    “Mined mining areas, can the quality of strange metal still be guaranteed?”

    Jin Cong Xue nodded and said:

    “The mining areas that are transferred between merchant associations, most of them have been mined for hundreds of years. The strange metal output in these copy mining areas is extremely low… but they still make a profit, and many merchant associations are eager to get their hands on them.”

    “But these military mining areas that have just been mined for a few decades are different. Because they haven’t been used by civilians yet, so the amount of strange metal is actually quite abundant… This is already considered the top-tier mining area that ordinary merchant associations can get.”

    “Of course, this mining area can only mine first-order or second-order strange metal, anything more advanced… is already controlled by the government.”

    Su Xing nodded slightly.

    He didn’t really understand this stuff. If Su Xing wanted to obtain a large amount of strange metal from a high-level mining area, perhaps he could contact the government and demonstrate his own value. He would then easily be able to get a high-level mining area copy.

    But in this way, although the speed of obtaining energy would soar, it was too dangerous.

    Refer to Su Xing’s assassination attempt in the simulation…

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

    “If that’s the case, then I’ll leave it to you… I don’t really understand this stuff.” Su Xing said.

    Jin Cong Xue nodded and said:

    “Don’t worry, it’s basically settled, my relationship with the military is very strong!”

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

    Su Xing nodded, without saying anything else. But he thought to himself:

    Damn, how could your relationship not be strong? The Great Summer Martial Emperor, the general guarding the Demon-Suppressing Pass, they’re all your grandfathers…

    After chatting with Jin Cong Xue for a while, Su Xing returned to school and skillfully entered his Spirit Field Paradise.

    He first exchanged the equipment and copy items given by Jin Cong Xue for energy.

    This week’s cargo, a total of 9.8 million simulated energy points.

    Although it wasn’t as much as last time, it wasn’t a small amount for Su Xing.

    An average of 10 million energy points per week was enough for Su Xing. As long as he was careful in the copy and didn’t immerse himself in the simulation.

    Of course, if his cultivation level reached the Divine Transformation Realm or the Divine Force Realm, then it might not be enough.

    After all, at the Nascent Soul Stage, it would take millions of energy points for Su Xing to break through one realm.

    Then at the Divine Transformation Realm, it might take tens of millions just to break through one level…

    “Sigh, ultimately, we still lack energy!”

    “Now, I can only hope that Jin Cong Xue will be able to apply for the mining area copy soon…”

    Su Xing said so, then opened the simulation panel.

    New Era 2024, April 22nd, afternoon, Su Xing started a new round of simulation on time.

    “Start the simulation!”

    【Ding! This simulation will consume 3300 energy points, remaining energy 24,763,003 points, remaining simulation times unlimited.】

    【Simulation starting!】

    【To draw a green talent, it will cost 1000 energy points, a blue talent will cost 10,000 energy points, to draw a purple talent, it will cost 100,000 energy points. Do you want to draw?】

    Although Su Xing had already anticipated that he would lack energy in future simulations.

    But as the saying goes, save where you can, spend where you need. This meager ten thousand energy points for a purple talent, Su Xing could still afford it.

    So Su Xing said without hesitation:

    “Draw a purple talent!”

    Immediately, Su Xing heard the simulator’s prompt sound.

    【Congratulations, you have obtained the purple talent: The Most Stylish Guy in the Crowd!】

    【The Most Stylish Guy in the Crowd: Purple Talent, wherever you go, you are the center of attention. Even when you walk on the street, the heads turn to you one hundred percent of the time. Wherever you are, you will attract everyone’s attention. Of course, sometimes being too eye-catching is not a good thing…】

    After seeing this newly drawn talent, Su Xing frowned slightly.

    The Most Stylish Guy in the Crowd, this seemed to be a conceptual talent.

    Su Xing couldn’t figure out what its use was for the time being, he could only try it out in the simulation.

    【In your Spirit Field Paradise, you realized that you are in a simulation.】

    【You took out a mirror and looked at your face, you found that you were still the same handsome and charming you, without any difference.】

    【So you continued to refine elixirs as usual, preparing to hand over next week’s cargo to Jin Cong Xue.】

    【At this moment, the spirit chickens you raised in the chicken coop looked at you, all jumping out of the chicken coop and walking towards you, chirping as if they wanted to say something.】

    【You successfully heard these chickens’ thoughts with your Level 10 Beast Language: Hey? This two-legged creature is so stylish! Did any chicken hear, come and see…】

    【After hearing the spirit chickens’ conversation, you were speechless and quickly redecorated the chicken coop, to prevent them from coming out to see you.】

    【But in the following days, wherever you went, you attracted attention. In the campus, an old man riding a bicycle almost got hit by a BMW because he was looking at you.】

    【Because of this, you were blackmailed and lost sixty-six thousand!】
