While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move 74
by adminAfter discussing the acquisition matter, Su Xing entrusted the whole thing to Jin Cong Xue.
Returning to school, Su Xing slipped into the Spirit Field Paradise when no one was around.
First, he exchanged the newly acquired 300,000 pieces of White-Quality Equipment for energy. Counting the 1.3 million energy he had left, Su Xing’s simulated energy surged to an unprecedented 3 million points!
Watching the piles of equipment vanish rapidly, Su Xing muttered:
“For now, White-Quality Equipment is the most cost-effective way to produce energy. However, White-Quality Equipment is limited. As my energy needs grow, I might not have enough White-Quality Equipment later!”
“Maybe I’ll have to find other materials to replace White-Quality Equipment.”
Su Xing had tried using other things to convert into energy. A bottle of ordinary potion could be exchanged for a few hundred energy points, but the issue was that they were too expensive and impossible to purchase in bulk.
Skill scrolls were even worse, their energy content was inferior to equipment.
He had also tried exchanging Green and Blue-Quality Equipment for energy but discovered that White-Quality Equipment offered the best value for energy conversion.
“Forget it, let’s not worry about it. We’ll cross that bridge when we get there. Let’s just keep simulating!”
Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulator, his heart moved, and he silently muttered:
“Begin simulation!”
New Era 2024, February 11th, Su Xing started his 23rd simulation.
【Ding! This simulation costs 2,300 energy points. Remaining energy points: 3,016,666. Remaining simulation attempts: Unlimited. 】
【Simulation start!】
【White-Quality Talent extraction costs 100 energy points, Green-Quality Talent extraction costs 1,000 energy points, Blue-Quality Talent extraction costs 10,000 energy points. Do you want to extract?】
“Extract Blue-Quality Talent!”
【Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the Blue-Quality Talent, Plant Affinity!】
【Plant Affinity】: You were born to be a farmer. All plants thrive under your care, growing at a faster rate when planted by your hand.
Su Xing’s eyes lit up upon seeing this talent. Plant Affinity, this was a perfect match for his Spirit Field Paradise!
“It can make plants grow faster. This is a Druid, right? I wonder if it works on spiritual plants…”
Su Xing stroked his chin and muttered.
Currently, Su Xing had planted thousands of spiritual plants in the Spirit Field Paradise. Some of the faster-growing ones, under the nourishment of spiritual energy, might be ready for medicinal use in a year or two.
But most of the spiritual plants needed to grow for ten years or more to develop their medicinal properties. Some even required a century of cultivation to fully unlock their efficacy.
Su Xing couldn’t wait that long. Fortunately, he had the simulator, but he could only harvest a small portion of the medicinal herbs within it.
Now, with Plant Affinity, Su Xing’s speed in planting spiritual plants would be significantly faster!
“This talent is perfect for me. It seems I have to choose this one in this simulation!”
Su Xing muttered silently, looking at the simulation interface.
【In the Spirit Field Paradise, you realize you are in a simulation.】
【You decide to try your newly acquired talent, you plant some spiritual plants and carefully tend to the existing ones.】
【A month passes. During this month, you spend one hour each day planting spiritual plants, dedicating the rest of your time to alchemy.】
【You are surprised to find that your planted spiritual plants grow rapidly, almost catching up with the previous three months’ growth in just one month. You are delighted and open up several new plots of wasteland.】
【One day, Jin Cong Xue finds you, informing you that the acquisition of the Lingyun Trading House is almost complete, with the remaining payment due within half a year.】
【You agree and provide Jin Cong Xue with elixirs regularly each week. Although the Taro Trading House is not very useful to you in the simulation, you are also curious about its future development.】
【Soon, half a year passes. One day, Wang Qingxuan finds you.】
【She tells you about the mysterious organization, and through her, you successfully join the Descent Sect.】
【New to the Descent Sect, you remain cautious in your actions to gain the trust of the members.】
【In the second year, you showcase your alchemic talent. The Shadow Guardian is impressed by your abilities. She requests you to refine elixirs for the Descent Sect, promising you a promotion to the Elder rank within a year.】
【You agree, refining subpar elixirs to submit as tasks, while secretly keeping the high-quality ones you refine for your own cultivation.】
【A few months later, you intentionally reveal subtle clues to the Shadow Guardian, letting her vaguely guess your identity. Subsequently, the Shadow Guardian frequently probes you but doesn’t propose privately refining elixirs for her.】
【In the third year, due to your outstanding performance over the past year, you successfully become the 18th Elder of the Descent Sect. Even more exciting, the day after you become an Elder, the Shadow Guardian approaches you.】
【She expresses her desire for you to refine a batch of elixirs for her, around 5,000 in quantity.】
【You feign refusal, frowning and asking why she needs such a large quantity.】
【The Shadow Guardian claims it’s a personal matter. You only need to complete the task, and the rewards will be plentiful.】
【From her tone, you hear a hint of displeasure. You know that haste makes waste, so you tell the Shadow Guardian that you will deliver the batch of elixirs within half a year.】
【The Shadow Guardian appears surprised because, based on your previous alchemic speed, refining 5,000 elixirs would take at least a year or two. You smile meaningfully without speaking.】
【Another half a year passes. During this time, you spend four hours each day refining elixirs. The Descent Sect has abundant medicinal herbs, and you have privately stockpiled over 10,000 elixirs.】
【Besides that, you also ensure four hours of cultivation daily. Your cultivation progresses steadily, and you feel that breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage within a few years shouldn’t be difficult.】
【One day, the Shadow Guardian finds you. You deliver the 5,000 elixirs you prepared beforehand. She verifies their efficacy and displays a look of surprise, for these elixirs are several times more potent than the ones you provided to the Sect.】
【The Shadow Guardian senses the meaning behind your actions and initiates her final test. She asks you about your purpose for joining the Descent Sect.】
Su Xing was immediately tense at this turn of events, muttering:
“Here it comes! Finally! The Shadow Guardian is truly cautious. After three years of interaction, and revealing numerous clues, she only barely trusts me. Is she finally ready to discuss my purpose for joining the Descent Sect?”
Su Xing knew he couldn’t rush this. He provided the Shadow Guardian with 5,000 Nourishing Yuan Dan within half a year in the simulation, aiming to demonstrate his value.
Only when the Shadow Guardian sees hope will she confide in him.
Su Xing continues the simulation.
【Faced with the Shadow Guardian’s question, you simply smile faintly and say: My goal is the same as yours, to save this broken world!】
