    **Chapter 7: Spirit Stone Clue, The Path of Cultivation is Right in Front of Me!**

    [The Taro Association members tell you that in Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, there is a rare item called a Spirit Stone, in the possession of a Grandmaster-level expert.]

    [You are overjoyed and rush to Nanjing City that night.]

    [You contact the Grandmaster and offer to buy the Spirit Stone for 100 million Great Summer currency.]

    [The Grandmaster agrees.]

    [However, on the eve of the transaction, a mysterious person finds you.]

    [You are dead. You were 33 years old.]

    [You triggered the “Death is Not Enough” innate talent.]

    [Your eyes fixate on the mysterious person.]

    [The mysterious person dislikes this and crushes your head with a single foot.]

    [You lose your eyes, and the “Death is Not Enough” talent becomes ineffective.]

    [This simulation is over!]

    [You can choose one of the following rewards: Serenity (Innate Talent), Half of the Eternal Spring Technique (Cultivation Technique)]

    Seeing this, Su Xing is ecstatic.

    “Finally… the last clue about spiritual energy is here! Spirit Stone… this must have something to do with spiritual energy!”

    Su Xing calms down his emotions and doesn’t hesitate about the rewards for this simulation.

    The Serenity talent is truly mediocre, not much of an improvement for Su Xing. It just seems more high-class.

    But the Eternal Spring Technique, this is a genuine thing that allows him to cultivate!

    Plus, he now has a lead on the Spirit Stone, maybe he can get it back next time and truly start cultivating!

    So…

    “I choose the Eternal Spring Technique!”

    [Ding! You have chosen to bring back Half of the Eternal Spring Technique from the simulation. Energy consumption: 3000 points. Remaining energy: 182 points.]

    Simultaneously, an ancient book appears in front of Su Xing.

    Su Xing is ecstatic and immediately checks out the Eternal Spring Technique.

    [Half of the Eternal Spring Technique]: The foundation-establishing cultivation technique of the Changchun School in the Qingyun Realm. This technique has a total of six layers, and the highest attainable level is the Returning Void Stage. However, due to this technique being a half-complete copy, it can only be cultivated up to the Golden Elixir Stage. The Eternal Spring Technique consumes the spiritual energy of the world, nourishes the body, and can achieve the effects of prolonging life and preserving youth.

    Cultivation mantra as follows: “Layer One: All things thrive, sleep at night, wake up early, walk widely in the courtyard, allowing the spirit to be refreshed… Layer Two: The intersection of heaven and earth…”

    Su Xing is overjoyed after seeing the introduction to the Eternal Spring Technique.

    This Eternal Spring Technique looks much more reliable than the “Three Years Time, Teaching You From Cultivation to Burial” he bought before.

    The first half of the Eternal Spring Technique only has hundreds of words, which Su Xing memorizes in less than half an hour.

    Su Xing looks at the technique in his hands and sighs:

    “This technique does have the effect of prolonging life and preserving youth… unfortunately, the world will end in fifteen years, so prolonging life is useless!”

    After memorizing the Eternal Spring Technique, Su Xing plans his next simulation.

    He knows he can only simulate once a week, and each simulation consumes a lot of energy, making it extremely precious.

    Su Xing must quickly build up his strength, so he must have clear goals for each simulation.

    “The most urgent thing is to step into the threshold of cultivation, so I will likely need to get the Spirit Stone in the next simulation…”

    Su Xing thinks, unless the next simulation draws an extremely valuable talent, he will definitely choose the Spirit Stone.

    “But I don’t know the real value of the Spirit Stone, how much energy will I need? I must accumulate enough energy before the next simulation!”

    Su Xing has over 800,000 Great Summer currency in his card, which can only be exchanged for less than 4,000 energy points.

    And it’s uncertain if 4,000 energy points will be enough to bring out the Spirit Stone.

    Su Xing sighs, indeed, even heroes are troubled by a lack of money.

    Bang!

    At this time, the dormitory door is kicked open.

    A chubby figure walks in, it’s Yu Yan.

    Su Xing rolls his eyes and scolds with a smile:

    “Yu Fatty, can you be a bit gentler? This door will be kicked to pieces by you sooner or later!”

    Yu Yan laughs good-naturedly and says:

    “Haha, I’ll pay attention next time.”

    Hesitating for a moment, Yu Yan says carefully: “By the way, Teacher Liu seems to have something to talk to you about… it seems like it’s about your career…”

    Su Xing nods, he’s not surprised.

    Being labeled as a “deadbeat” in the Kyoto Vocational University, a school ranked number one in the country, after three years, Teacher Liu calling him over is probably to tell him to drop out.

    After all, having a “waste” in a school famous throughout the Great Summer will cause a bad influence.

    Yu Yan obviously guessed the same thing, he pats Su Xing’s shoulder and says:

    “Old Su, don’t worry too much, our Kyoto Vocational University has never expelled any students… besides, your career is not something you can decide, you haven’t done anything wrong, just go with peace of mind!”

    “No matter what you do, you’ll always be my brother!”

    Su Xing naturally believes this, after all, in the simulation, this fat guy didn’t cut off contact with him even before his death.

    Su Xing hesitates for a moment and says:

    “Fatty, I’m a bit short of money these days, can you lend me some?”

    Yu Yan raises an eyebrow, he knows Su Xing’s personality. Even though his university life wasn’t great for three years, he never borrowed money. Now it seems he’s in a tough situation.

    So Yu Yan nods and says:

    “How much do you need? Tell me a number?”

    Su Xing grits his teeth and says:

    “Five million, do you have that?”

    Yu Yan nods and takes out a bank card from his wallet, handing it to Su Xing:

    “There’s five million in this card… the password is my birthday!”

    Su Xing takes the card and feels touched, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

    “Fatty…”

    Yu Yan waves his hand and says:

    “Old Su, don’t say those sentimental things, five million is nothing to me! You are my brother after all.”

    “Uh, actually, I wanted to ask, what’s your birthday again…”

    Yu Yan: “…”

    Yu Yan grits his teeth and says:

    “You better give me that money back!”

    Su Xing leans aside and dodges, laughing:

    “Just kidding! I’ll go find Teacher Liu now!”

    Su Xing walks towards the faculty office.

    Teacher Liu’s real name is Liu Xiaodong, he is the life teacher and homeroom teacher of Su Xing’s class.

    Basically, students go to him for life matters.

    Su Xing was recruited to Kyoto Vocational University by Liu Xiaodong.

    Bang bang!

    Su Xing knocks on the door of the office.

    “Come in!”

    Su Xing walks into the office and sees a middle-aged man leaning back in a chair, drinking tea, acting like a leader.

    “Teacher Liu, did you call me for something?”

    Su Xing asks directly.

    Liu Xiaodong has a smiling face, he says:

    “Su Xing! How’s your cultivation going recently? Has your level improved?”

    Sure enough, he called him here for this.

    Su Xing had anticipated this, so he shakes his head:

    “No, still the same. But I will cultivate diligently, striving to break through to the Silver Stage soon!”

    Liu Xiaodong’s smile doesn’t change, he takes a sip of tea and says:

    “Su Xing, actually, I called you here to discuss something…”

    “You know, your senior year is less than a year away from graduation, and our department has requirements for the pass rate and employment rate…”

    Su Xing secretly sneers in his heart, he already guessed about 80% of what Liu Xiaodong wanted to say, but he still pretends to be clueless and asks:

    “So, Teacher Liu, what do you mean? I hope you can be straight with me.”

    Liu Xiaodong stops pretending and speaks plainly:

    “Su Xing, I hope you will drop out on your own initiative, it will be better for you and the reputation of the school!”
