    Chapter 45: The Secret of Condensing the Golden Elixir, the Mysterious Elder of the Sect

    Su Xing walked dozens of steps forward.

    In the depths of the treasure vault, dozens of shelves, several zhang in height, were placed.

    The shelves were also covered with colorful labels, including not only the categories mentioned by the Shadow Guardian but also skill scrolls, recovery potions, rare materials, and other sorts.

    The majority of items here were usable by Professionals, and they were even more comprehensive than the goods sold in the Jin Family Trading House that Su Xing had seen before.

    Su Xing did not linger in these areas, instead, he went directly to the ancient books section.

    The ancient books section was not what Su Xing had imagined. Most of them were cultivation insights left behind by Professionals, some copy dungeon strategies, and even secrets of humanity over the millennia.

    For example, there was a book called “The Unforgettable Story of Elder Fengyue and His 108 Boyfriends.” While it seemed to chronicle the dissolute life of an elder named Fengyue, it actually recorded secrets of major powers on Blue Star in the form of a travelogue.

    Or, there was another book, “One Hundred Days of Changyang Daoist’s Infiltration into the Abyss and His Succubus Girlfriend,” which described information about some of the demonic creatures in a dungeon called the Abyss.

    Su Xing scanned the books quickly, searching for his intended destination – Cultivation Techniques.

    He flipped through the travelogues and secret chronicles piled on top, brushed off the thick dust, and after twenty minutes, Su Xing actually found two Cultivation Techniques.

    One was called “Nourishing Body Decret” and the other was called “Condensing Elixir Method.”

    Su Xing only skimmed through “Nourishing Body Decret” without paying much attention because it was simply a very basic Cultivation Technique.

    It could not even help someone break through to the Establishment Completion Realm, but it would be good for ordinary people to use for physical cultivation, health maintenance, and longevity.

    However, it was completely useless for Su Xing, who already had the Eternal Spring Technique.

    What truly surprised Su Xing was the “Condensing Elixir Method,” because according to the book’s description, it was a secret method that could help Cultivators condense their Golden Elixir more effectively!

    This technique detailed the quality of the Golden Elixir, such as Inferior, Middle, Superior, and even the higher Nine-Turn Golden Elixir. This was exactly the same as the Golden Elixir levels that the Simulator had told Su Xing.

    The method described in the technique for improving the quality of the Golden Elixir was to compress Elemental Force and fuse it into the Golden Elixir!

    Su Xing could not judge the authenticity of this technique, but for him, there was no better way to condense the Golden Elixir.

    If he had to rely solely on the accumulation of time to condense the Golden Elixir, Su Xing would probably need to spend dozens of simulations to cultivate a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir. That would be too wasteful of simulation opportunities.

    But it would be a shame to Su Xing, who had the Simulation System as a cheat, to not go for the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

    Therefore, this “Condensing Elixir Method” was necessary for Su Xing. The only pity was that he did not find the second half of the Eternal Spring Technique.

    At this moment, the Shadow Guardian appeared behind Su Xing and looked at the technique in Su Xing’s hand with some confusion.

    “Could it be that Elder Yao wants to cultivate? Oh, I forgot, your profession is a Cultivator! But there is no Spiritual Qi in our world. How can you cultivate?”

    Su Xing explained, “Shadow Guardian, cultivation and alchemy are closely related. Alchemy is external alchemy, and cultivation is internal alchemy… Although I have no chance to ascend to the Immortal Path, I still want to refine more and better elixirs for the sect, so I naturally need to learn this condensing elixir technique.”

    Su Xing’s righteous words left the Shadow Guardian dumbfounded. After a long pause, he nodded and said with some emotion, “Sigh, Elder Yao is indeed a rising star in the sect! Your awareness is something I can’t even compare to! If Elder Yao had joined the sect ten years earlier, you might be a Guardian level figure by now!”

    Su Xing was flattered by the Shadow Guardian’s praise and felt a little embarrassed. He wasn’t doing this for the Descent Sect; he was doing it for himself!

    Finding the condensing elixir technique was indeed an unexpected gain, but Su Xing’s primary goal was still the second half of the Eternal Spring Technique, which he had not yet found.

    So Su Xing asked curiously, “Shadow Guardian, to be honest, I am quite fascinated by cultivation and would like to take a look at the ancient texts on cultivation, but I am unable to do so. I wonder if our sect has any ancient texts on cultivation. I would like to feast my eyes on them.”

    The Shadow Guardian replied with pride in his voice, “Elder Yao has asked the right person! When it comes to the mastery of cultivation dungeons, our Descent Sect is definitely the number one force on Blue Star! Even the Great Summer Country’s officials are far behind!”

    “However, the high-level cultivation techniques are all in the hands of the fanatics. If you want to exchange for them, you would probably have to pay a lot of contribution points…”

    Su Xing’s heart skipped a beat and he asked, “Oh? Shadow Guardian… I wonder how many contribution points would it cost? I have completed dozens of elixir refining missions this year and have accumulated 10,000 contribution points. Would that be enough?”

    The Shadow Guardian shook his head and said, “10,000 contribution points would be more than enough to exchange for a cultivation technique called the ‘Eternal Spring Technique,’ the first half of it… But the second half would require 100,000 contribution points. You still have a long way to go…”

    Su Xing was stunned. The first half of the technique cost a few thousand contribution points, while the second half cost 100,000 contribution points? Are you trying to fish for something?

    Su Xing was somewhat helpless and asked, “Shadow Guardian, why is the exchange price for this technique so high?”

    The Shadow Guardian explained, “Because the sect’s Guardian, Elder Zong, like you, is especially obsessed with cultivation, and he joined the sect a long time ago. He has been here for hundreds of years now and is one of the most powerful Guardians. He bought most of the sect’s cultivation related items with contribution points a long time ago. If you want to buy anything, you have to buy from him, so the price is naturally expensive…”

    Powerful Professionals, after reaching the Heavenly King Level, would undergo a life transformation. After the transformation, their lifespan would greatly extend and they would become long-lived beings.

    Heavenly King Level Professionals, if they didn’t die in battle, could normally live for three to five hundred years. As for Guardian Level Professionals, they were at least at the Martial Emperor Level and could easily live for five to six hundred years.

    After hearing the Shadow Guardian’s words, Su Xing’s eyes flickered with uncertainty. Obsessed with cultivation, the most powerful Guardian…

    Su Xing suddenly recalled the old man he had encountered in a previous simulation. Back then, the old man had taken a fancy to his Spirit Rice and had wanted to torture him to death in order to extract information about it.

    Now, after listening to the Shadow Guardian’s description, Su Xing guessed that the old man was probably Elder Zong.

    “But… why is Elder Zong so obsessed with cultivation? Could it be that his profession is also a Cultivator?”

    Su Xing pondered for a moment and then shook his head.

    “Impossible. The Professional Panel clearly states that there is only one Cultivator profession… So Elder Zong definitely wouldn’t be a Cultivator. But why is he so obsessed with cultivation? There must be a bigger secret behind this!”
