    Chapter 46: The Mystery of the Cultivator, The Dragon Guardian’s Sudden Attack!

    Su Xing also wanted to explore the secrets behind the Zong elder, but it seemed there was no chance in this simulation. He could only try again in the next simulation.

    Su Xing took the Condensation Dan Technique in his hand, then went to browse the area of ​​heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the treasure vault.

    As he browsed, Su Xing was shocked, his eyes couldn’t move away from the shelves.

    “Hundred-year-old Blood Ginseng… the main ingredient in refining Blood Replenishing Dan. Wow, there’s such a good thing?”

    “Fifty-year-old Returning Yang Grass, the main ingredient in refining Returning Yang Dan, a single pill can restore vitality to a dying person!”

    “There’s also two-hundred-year-old Dragon Kite Grass, five-hundred-year-old Zishen Flower… My goodness, did this treasure vault raid a sect’s medicine garden?”

    Su Xing was in awe. Using his outstanding alchemy skills and the knowledge of identifying medicinal herbs he learned from the Shennong Spirit Cultivating Technique, he easily identified the names of most of the medicinal herbs.

    These medicinal herbs were very precious and complete in variety, ranging from hundreds of years old to a dozen years old, and there were countless of them. The entire treasure vault probably contained tens of thousands of medicinal herbs.

    “My goodness, how many pills can this make?”

    Su Xing was envious. If he had to rely on himself to plant these medicinal herbs and spirit stones in the Spirit Field Paradise, it would take him at least hundreds of years to obtain them.

    But now, these herbs were all laid out in front of Su Xing…

    The most important thing was, in the entire Descent Sect, only Su Xing could bring out the medicinal effects of these herbs. This meant these herbs were practically exclusive to him!

    Although the pills Su Xing refined could only be used by the people of the Descent Sect, the alchemy techniques he mastered while refining the pills were real and tangible.

    In other words, this Descent Sect was practically a sacred ground for Su Xing to hone his alchemy experience!

    Su Xing struggled to move his gaze away from the medicinal herbs, and said to Shadow Elder beside him:

    “You have a very complete collection of medicinal herbs in the Descent Sect’s treasure vault. I’ve truly seen a lot!”

    Shadow Elder patted Su Xing’s shoulder and corrected him:

    “It’s our Descent Sect! Now, Medicine Elder is our eighteenth elder! And there’s only you in the entire sect who knows alchemy. Feel free to use them as you need!”

    He paused, then added:

    “Of course, this is also because the heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the treasure vault are almost entirely managed by our natural faction, so we have this much authority.”

    Su Xing’s eyes widened in excitement upon hearing this:

    “Really? I actually know how to refine several exceptional pills… it’s just that I’ve always been lacking in materials, so I couldn’t refine them.”

    Upon hearing Su Xing’s words, Shadow Elder also became excited, and quickly said:

    “The medicinal herbs in the treasure vault are at Medicine Elder’s disposal, you only need to register when you take them.”

    “And the refined pills need to be turned in to the sect… Of course, Medicine Elder can also keep a portion of the pills, along with a large amount of contribution points.”

    Su Xing nodded repeatedly, as long as he could gain experience from refining pills.

    If he had such ample medicinal herbs in every simulation, allowing him to refine new pills, it probably wouldn’t take a few rounds before his alchemy went from beginner level to proficient level.

    At that time, Su Xing could even try refining medium-grade pills!

    Low-grade pills like Nourishing Spirit Dan, Nourishing Yuan Dan, and Refining Viscera Dan had such powerful effects, let alone medium-grade pills, they would definitely bring a qualitative leap to Su Xing’s cultivation speed!

    And… the most crucial point was, the people of the Descent Sect had absolutely no idea about alchemy!

    If he said he needed a hundred medicinal herbs, he would actually use ten, and keep the remaining ninety for himself, wouldn’t that be fantastic?

    Su Xing thought this way, and that’s exactly what he did.

    He immediately requested more than one hundred medicinal herbs from Shadow Elder, and stated that he would be able to refine new pills for the sect within half a year with these medicinal herbs.

    Shadow Elder, naturally, wouldn’t refuse, and readily agreed to Su Xing’s request.

    Leaving the sect’s treasure vault, Shadow Elder said to Su Xing:

    “Medicine Elder, please register the Condensation Dan Technique and the medicinal herbs you took with Dragon Guardian…”

    Su Xing nodded, then presented the things he had taken out to Dragon Guardian.

    Upon seeing the Condensation Dan Technique, a hint of surprise flashed across Dragon Guardian’s ancient, stoic face, he asked:

    “Are you a Cultivator?”

    Su Xing’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly explained:

    “My profession is a cultivator, but I have no cultivation… I want this alchemy technique only for the purpose of studying alchemy.”

    Dragon Guardian furrowed his brow slightly, then pulled Su Xing over and placed his hand on his pulse.

    Dragon Guardian’s face changed drastically:

    “No, you are a Golden Elixir Stage Cultivator! Who are you? Why are you able to cultivate to the Golden Elixir Stage in this age of spiritual decline?”

    “Where did you obtain your spiritual energy resources and spirit stones?”

    Seeing Dragon Guardian’s intense reaction, Shadow Elder hurriedly explained:

    “Dragon Guardian, have you misunderstood? How could Medicine Elder be a Golden Elixir Stage Cultivator? He doesn’t have any spirit stones…”

    Dragon Guardian snorted coldly, stretched out a hand, thin and pale like bone, and grabbed at Su Xing.

    Su Xing was shocked, this Dragon Guardian could actually see through his cultivation realm…

    He knew that ordinary professionals couldn’t see through Su Xing’s cultivation, their Perception skill could only detect his Bronze Level profession.

    Only Cultivators could detect his cultivation!

    Was Dragon Guardian a Cultivator?

    And a very powerful one at that!

    Su Xing’s mind raced with countless thoughts, but Dragon Guardian’s hand seemed to be glowing with a strange light.

    At that moment, Su Xing heard the system’s prompt sound.

    [Ding, this immersive simulation is ending…]

    As the prompt sound faded, Su Xing’s consciousness returned to the real world.

    Su Xing quickly checked the simulator, wanting to see what Dragon Guardian’s background was.

    [Inside the Descent Sect’s treasure vault, you were Soul Searched by Dragon Guardian, the simulator automatically blocked your memories of the simulator.]

    [Dragon Guardian’s Soul Search lasted for over ten minutes, he learned that you didn’t genuinely want to join the Descent Sect, but he didn’t seem to care about that.]

    [Because your memories were altered, in Dragon Guardian’s eyes, you are just a lucky person who happened to obtain some spirit stones and cultivation techniques.]

    [You were Soul Searched for ten minutes, after the Soul Search, you became a vegetable.]

    [Dragon Guardian looked at your dazed, drooling state with displeasure, and killed you with a palm strike.]

    [You’re dead!]

    [Ding, this simulation is over!]
