    Hearing the sudden voice, Bai Li Tu abruptly raised his head.

    Upon seeing Su Xing in disguise, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes.

    He then feigned surprise, saying, “Senior, what brings you here? Why didn’t you give us a heads-up?”

    Su Xing noticed Bai Li Tu’s change in demeanor but merely nodded slightly, “I heard that your Bai Li Trading Company has been actively purchasing copy items?”

    Bai Li Tu nodded quickly, “Since Senior needs those copy items, our Bai Li Trading Company will naturally do our best to acquire them. As long as Senior is pleased, that’s all that matters!”

    Su Xing listened but didn’t reply, merely thinking to himself that Bai Li Tu was a smooth talker.

    Then, Su Xing took out another Life-Extending Pill from his bosom, “Here’s another Life-Extending Pill, which can extend your life for another five years… just give me the same amount of copy items as last time!”

    The moment the Life-Extending Pill appeared, a flicker of longing crossed Bai Li Tu’s face.

    Although he had already extended his life by five years, who would ever dislike living longer?

    To have another five years added… that would mean he’d have ten years to live!

    Thus, Bai Li Tu quickly pulled out a storage ring from his pocket, “Senior, my son, Bai Li Qi, was being disrespectful before… I have already counseled him. These are the copy items he accumulated over the years, I will hand them over to you!”

    Su Xing took the storage ring.

    His divine sense probed it, and indeed, it was filled to the brim with copy items. The quantity was roughly the same as the previous batch he received.

    A flicker of joy crossed Su Xing’s eyes, then he flicked his wrist, and the Life-Extending Pill slid into Bai Li Tu’s hand.

    “Since this is the case, then this Life-Extending Pill is yours.”

    “Deal made. I’ll be on my way…”

    He then prepared to leave.

    “Senior, please wait!”

    As Su Xing was about to turn and leave, Bai Li Tu stopped him, then handed over another storage ring, “Senior, that was the trade… but I have collected a batch of copy items during this period, consider it a token of my gratitude for your life-saving grace!”

    Su Xing frowned slightly upon hearing this, but looking at the readily available simulated energy, he still reached out to take it.

    His divine sense probed it.

    Goodness, the number of copy items in this storage ring was quite substantial!

    While it wasn’t as many as the previous trade, it was at least 30% of that amount!

    The value was probably around one or two hundred million simulated energy.

    This must be the batch of copy items Bai Li Tu had diligently collected over this period.

    Su Xing pondered for a moment, then still took the storage ring and said slowly, “You… are quite good…”

    He then prepared to leave.

    But then Bai Li Tu quickly said, “Senior, how can we contact you afterwards? If we have more copy items, how do we give them to you?”

    Su Xing furrowed his brow in response.

    Bai Li Tu wanted his contact information, seemingly to fulfill Su Xing’s need for copy items.

    However, in reality, Bai Li Tu was also aiming to curry favor with Su Xing. If the Bai Li Family encountered an insurmountable problem in the future, they might need Su Xing’s help.

    Thinking this, Su Xing felt the storage ring in his hand was a bit too hot to handle.

    After all, he always disliked owing favors, a clean trade with no strings attached was the best outcome…

    But the copy items in this storage ring were worth at least one or two hundred million, and Su Xing couldn’t bear to part with them.

    Hesitating for a moment, Su Xing said, “If your Bai Li Family faces a crisis that you can’t solve, then release a message to the public, claiming that you discovered a shocking treasure inheritance in the copy items…”

    “At that time, I will naturally understand and come to your aid… However, it will still be a business transaction, understand?”

    Bai Li Tu quickly nodded in agreement.

    Su Xing didn’t bother with further explanations, turned, and left, his figure disappearing into the night.

    After Su Xing left, the smile on Bai Li Tu’s face faded. He tapped rhythmically on the table with his fingers, seemingly deep in thought.

    At this time, in the secret room of Bai Li Tu’s residence, the Martial Emperor named Fu Bo emerged.

    “Master!”

    Bai Li Tu nodded slightly, “Fu Bo, what do you think this mysterious expert is trying to achieve by collecting copy items?”

    Fu Bo didn’t know either, he only asked tentatively, “Perhaps there’s a shocking secret hidden within those copy items?”

    Bai Li Tu nodded, then shook his head, “Copy items, throughout history, countless people have tried to uncover their secrets… yet no one has ever reaped any benefits.”

    “But this Senior, for our Bai Li Family, is a real opportunity!”

    “This Senior should understand what we mean… perhaps in the future, if our Bai Li Family faces difficulties, we might be able to seek out Senior’s assistance with today’s token of goodwill…”

    Fu Bo listened silently, he wasn’t very knowledgeable about scheming.

    Since he was a child, he had been a servant in the Bai Li Manor, serving the Bai Li Family for hundreds of years.

    After some thought, Fu Bo said, “Master, this Senior… seems to have become even stronger.”

    “Before, I only felt a threat from him… but now, I feel like I don’t even have the courage to face him directly.”

    “I suspect that this Senior might have already stepped into the realm of legend…”

    Pausing for a moment, Fu Bo continued, “Furthermore, this Senior must have noticed my presence, but he directly ignored me…”

    Bai Li Tu’s expression turned solemn, he remained silent for a long time, then declared, “Call in someone! Inform everyone to increase the scale of our acquisition of copy items by double! Increase the purchase price by 20%!”

    “I want every copy item in the thirteen provinces of Great Summer Country to be in our Bai Li Trading Company!”

    Legendary expert, this was a peerless individual who transcended the mundane world.

    If Bai Li Trading Company could truly befriend a legendary expert, it could ensure the prosperity of the Bai Li Family for a thousand years!

    This was the only thought in Bai Li Tu’s mind at that moment!

    All the scheming and calculations in his heart had vanished, he only wanted to cultivate a good relationship with Su Xing…

    This was the power of absolute strength…

    On the other hand, after receiving the two storage rings, Su Xing rushed hundreds of kilometers overnight, returning to Fu Dong Province. He then caught the nearest flight, heading back to the capital city.

    The next day, back at school, Su Xing impatiently entered the Spirit Field Paradise, ready to exchange the copy items in the two rings for energy.

    [Ding, detected a large quantity of energy substances, total value of 476,820,000 energy, do you want to exchange?]

    [Ding, detected a large quantity of energy substances, total value of 156,790,000 energy, do you want to exchange?]

    Listening to the cheerful notification sound, Su Xing couldn’t wait to say, “Confirm exchange!”

    Thus, Su Xing watched as the simulated energy on his simulation panel soared.

    From a little over twelve million, it skyrocketed to 646,050,000!

    After calming down his excitement, Su Xing opened the simulation panel and prepared to exchange for copy rewards.

    “I choose to exchange for Body Tempering罡气 and Wishful Observation 法!”

    [You have successfully brought out Body Tempering罡气 cultivation achievement (Minor Completion), consumed 50,000,000 energy, remaining energy 596,050,000.]

    [You have successfully brought out Wishful Observation 法 cultivation achievement (Entry-Level), consumed 40,000,000 energy, remaining energy 556,050,000.]

    The simulator notification sound dropped, and two mysterious forces infused Su Xing’s body.

    Then, a torrent of memory fragments flooded Su Xing’s mind.

    These were the cultivation achievements of Body Tempering罡气 and Wishful Observation 法!

    In just a short moment, Su Xing learned the elemental force technique, Body Tempering罡气, and directly achieved Minor Completion level!

    Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, his heart moved, he softly chanted, “Elemental Force Armor…”

    Then, a thin layer of elemental force wrapped around Su Xing’s entire body.

    With the Elemental Force Armor wrapped around his body, Su Xing’s resistance to attack and defense instantly doubled, if not more.

    However, it wasn’t just that.

    Sensing the invisible Elemental Force Armor on his body, Su Xing gently chanted again, “Body Tempering罡气, activate!”

    The next second, three feet outside Su Xing’s skin, an invisible elemental force barrier directly protected Su Xing within it.

    This barrier was like an airtight, transparent glass cup, isolating Su Xing from all harmful substances in the outside world.

    Forget attacks and ambushes, not even a fly or poisonous gas could break through this Body Tempering罡气!

    The most crucial aspect was that Body Tempering罡气 and Elemental Force Armor could coexist!

    “Unbelievable… no wonder I didn’t die immediately when I entered the giant beast’s stomach space this time…”

    “Body Tempering罡气 combined with Elemental Force Armor, such terrifying defense… even a Legendary-level expert wouldn’t be able to break through immediately, right?”

    Su Xing was thrilled.

    In terms of pure defensive power, with Elemental Force Armor and Body Tempering罡气, Su Xing might be comparable to an expert just entering the Legendary realm!

    “Such terrifying defensive power… if I were to cultivate both of these to the peak, perhaps I could truly break through the limit and achieve Void Breaking within the giant beast’s stomach space?”

    Su Xing calmed down after a while, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

    Then, Su Xing appeared in the real world, intending to test how powerful his divine sense was now.

    His heart moved, his divine sense spread out like a tide.

    It instantly enveloped the entire Kyoto Academy.

    And it was still expanding outwards!

    Three thousand zhang… three thousand five hundred zhang… four thousand zhang!

    Five thousand zhang… six thousand zhang…

    Finally, a divine sense range of seven thousand zhang!

    What did seven thousand zhang mean?

    It was equivalent to a radius of 26 kilometers with Su Xing as the center, all within his perception!

    This range had practically covered the entire Kyoto City.

    “Wow, the entire Kyoto City, anyone within it, can’t hide from my divine sense perception…”

    Experiencing the feeling of his divine sense engulfing the entire city, Su Xing felt a sense of unease.

    It was like… Su Xing was the god of this city!

    Su Xing finally understood why in the world of cultivation, ordinary people were no different from ants to powerful cultivators.

    After all, this feeling of his divine sense being fully activated was like having a god’s perspective.

    It made one uncontrollably arrogant and conceited.

    But Su Xing was a cultivator who had passed the Five Gates of Divine Transformation, this arrogant emotion hadn’t even had a chance to sprout before Su Xing suppressed it.

    Returning to the Spirit Field Paradise, Su Xing kept reminding himself in his mind.

    Be humble, be cautious!

    Hell, he hadn’t even become the number one human expert, what was he being arrogant about?

    As long as the alien races weren’t eradicated, life and death would forever be in the hands of others…

    After his state of mind calmed down, Su Xing began his new week of alchemy and collecting spiritual liquid.

    Soon, five days passed, Su Xing brought the elixirs to his villa, then took the week’s goods.

    Because Jin Cong Xue was busy dealing with business affairs this week, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave earlier.

    The new week’s goods once again provided Su Xing with nearly thirty million energy points.

    New Era 2024, August 5th, the heat of summer was still going strong, Su Xing began a new round of simulation.

    “Start simulation!”

    [Ding! This simulation consumes 4,800 energy points, remaining energy 586,050,000, remaining simulation times unlimited.]

    [Simulation starts!]

    [Drawing a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 energy points, do you want to draw?]

    “Draw a purple talent!”

    Su Xing silently recited.

    [Ding, congratulations on obtaining a purple talent, Wood-Fire Dual Spirit Root!]

    [Wood-Fire Dual Spirit Root]: You are a cultivation genius found only once in a million, possessing the world-rare Heaven Spirit Root. Your cultivation speed is hundreds of times faster than ordinary cultivators, your Heaven Spirit Root also seems to have undergone a certain mutation, with one additional attribute compared to a normal Heaven Spirit Root.

    Seeing the sudden surprise talent before him.

    A complex expression flashed across Su Xing’s eyes.

    The good news was, he drew a more powerful Spirit Root.

    The bad news was… this Spirit Root seemed to have come a bit late.

    “Never mind, better late than never!”

    “After all, with the Heaven Spirit Root, my Returning Void Stage cultivation should be much easier!”

    Su Xing also knew that there was no such thing as a smooth sailing talent lottery.

    To draw the Heaven Spirit Root at this point was already considered a great fortune.

    “With the Heaven Spirit Root, will breaking through to the Returning Void Stage be easier?”

    Su Xing mused, his gaze fell upon the simulation panel.

    [In the Spirit Field Paradise, you realize that you are currently simulating.]

    [With the Heaven Spirit Root, you become more sensitive to the surrounding spiritual energy, you feel your spiritual energy affinity increase.]

    [With the same amount of spiritual energy, you can absorb and transform it into spiritual force in a shorter amount of time, three times faster than before!]

    [After experiencing the mystery of the Heaven Spirit Root, you prepare to begin cultivating elemental force and Body Tempering罡气.]

    [After more than an hour, your elemental force is exhausted, you are satisfied and continue cultivating Observation 法.]

    [So, three weeks quickly passed.]

    [Three weeks later, Jin Cong Xue brings you good news, the mine copy has been officially contracted, and you will be able to produce Strange Metal every week.]

    [You are satisfied with this, and continue cultivating in Great Summer Country for another two months.]

    [After that, you prepare to join the Descent Sect.]

    [You go to Shuang Qing City alone, controlling your divine sense within a certain range, hoping to lure out Elder Dog.]

    [As expected, Elder Dog appeared after a few days, he is very respectful towards you.]

    [Even with your divine sense restrained, he believes you are at least a semi-Returning Void expert!]

    [In order to befriend you, Elder Dog invites you to join the Descent Sect.]

    [You naturally won’t refuse, successfully joining the Descent Sect and relying on your strength, you receive a personal audience with the leader of a faction.]

    [After that, you smoothly become a nominal guardian of the Descent Sect.]

    [You rarely execute tasks, and enjoy a high degree of freedom.]

    [So, you secretly contact Luo Shu Ying and obtain a large amount of spiritual herbs.]

    [You stay in the Descent Sect for two years, during those two years, apart from the necessary four hours of cultivation each day, you spend your time refining elixirs.]

    [You have accumulated almost sixty days of “Great Wisdom” state buff.]

    Seeing this, Su Xing couldn’t help but smile.

    “As expected, in this world, strength is everything!”

    Before, Su Xing’s strength was similar to Elder Dog’s, he needed to actively send gifts to get Elder Dog’s friendship.

    But now Su Xing’s divine sense has exploded, mistaken by Elder Dog as being close to the Returning Void Stage expert.

    Elder Dog even took the initiative to be friendly with Su Xing.

    “This is with my divine sense restrained… If I were to fully unleash my divine sense, wouldn’t Elder Dog directly view me as a Returning Void expert?”

    “At that time, Elder Dog would probably kneel down and kowtow to me, right?”

    Su Xing couldn’t help but exclaim.

    In the world of cultivation, realm and strength were everything.

    A Nascent Soul cultivator was no different from a weakling to a Divine Transformation expert.

    The gap between Divine Transformation and Returning Void was even greater!

    Thinking this, Su Xing’s gaze fell upon the simulation panel.

    [In the third year, within those two years, you refined hundreds of thousands of elixirs, and have almost emptied the spiritual herbs.]

    [Thus, you bring Luo Shu Ying with you and betray the Descent Sect.]

    [After that, Elder Dog suffers a fatal attack…]

    [After betraying the Descent Sect, you settle down in the capital city, continuing to refine elixirs.]

    [In the fourth year, you use up the spiritual herbs you brought out previously, and the elixirs you refine add many more strong individuals to Great Summer Country.]

    [Without needing to refine elixirs, you have more time to cultivate.]

    [In order to break through to the Void Breaking realm as quickly as possible, in addition to cultivating the elemental force and Body Tempering罡气 every day, you also strengthen your elemental force cultivation!]

    [Every day, you cultivate two hours of Body Tempering罡气, then your elemental force is exhausted.]

    [After that, you work hard to recover your elemental force, the process of forcibly recovering your elemental force is very painful, like countless ants gnawing at your elemental force, it’s incredibly uncomfortable.]

    [But you still gritted your teeth and persisted.]

    [With this kind of cultivation, time quickly passed for another two years.]

    [In the sixth year, because the 凝神 Dan poison in your body is gone, your divine sense cultivation speed has become faster again.]

    [Over these few years, your divine sense has increased from seven thousand zhang to seven thousand seven hundred zhang.]

    [But what surprised you even more was the progress of your elemental force and Body Tempering罡气.]

    [In the process of practicing Body Tempering罡气 day after day, your mastery of elemental force became increasingly skillful.]

    [And every day, you frantically drain your elemental force, which also maximizes your potential, your elemental force recovery speed accelerates.]

    [In the eighth year, another year of arduous cultivation, your divine sense has increased to eight thousand one hundred zhang!]

    [At the same time, you can feel that your outward elemental force seems to have made a small breakthrough, taking a solid step towards Mastery-level outward force.]

    [In the tenth year, your divine sense range expanded further, reaching eight thousand five hundred zhang.]

    [In the same year, on the day of the Awakening of Spring, you attempted to collect Spring Dew Pure Water, but ultimately failed.]

    [However, what surprised you was that in your day-to-day cultivation of elemental force, you could feel that your mastery of elemental force was not far from the third stage, Mastery…]
