    Chapter 84: First-Rank Sequence, The Powerful Dragon Spirit Pill

    Su Xing was overjoyed upon seeing this.

    He hadn’t expected that the simulated version of himself would become a First-Rank sequence in the Great Summer Country through refining pills. This truly placed him at the peak of the Great Summer Country’s power.

    He recalled when he first started simulating, he was a capital tycoon with billions of assets, yet he couldn’t even meet the higher-ups of the Great Summer.

    “If I had so many benefits with a Third-Rank sequence status, then how strong would a First-Rank sequence status be?”

    Su Xing was filled with anticipation.

    [In the meeting, you detailed the functions of the Dragon Spirit Pill, stating that it can increase the mental and physical attributes of Grandmaster-level practitioners in the arts. Practitioners who consume this pill have the potential to break through to the Heavenly King Level!]

    [The other high-ranking officials were astounded after learning about the efficacy of the Dragon Spirit Pill and swiftly gathered some veteran Grandmaster-level practitioners to prepare for consuming it.]

    [For the sake of safety, you selected ten Grandmaster-level practitioners and prepared to experiment with the specific effects of the pill.]

    [You discovered that Grandmaster-level practitioners could only consume a maximum of one Dragon Spirit Pill each month, and the efficacy of the pill would gradually decrease after consumption, reaching less than one-third of the first pill after ten uses.]

    [In the thirteenth year, five of the ten Grandmaster-level practitioners, those considered weaker, saw their strength double, while the other five veteran Grandmaster-level practitioners also saw their strength increase by more than 60%. ]

    [After their strength increased, the ten Grandmaster-level practitioners volunteered to enter the instance to complete their advancement tasks, hoping to ascend to Heavenly King-level practitioners.]

    [A week later, only five of the ten Grandmaster-level practitioners returned alive, four of whom were veteran Grandmaster-level practitioners. This made you realize the danger of the Heavenly King-level advancement task.]

    [You learned that all Grandmaster-level practitioners, apart from completing their advancement tasks, also need to undergo a Heavenly King Baptism.]

    [All practitioners who complete the Heavenly King Baptism will undergo a transformation in their life essence, becoming long-lived beings, able to easily live for three to five hundred years.]

    [Upon learning that only half of the Grandmaster-level practitioners had successfully ascended to Heavenly King-level strength, you couldn’t help but feel a little disheartened, thinking that the Dragon Spirit Pill didn’t have the effect you expected.]

    [However, you were surprised to learn from those who succeeded that this chance had already broken the record. In the past, ten veteran Grandmaster-level practitioners could only have one successfully ascend to Heavenly King-level, a success rate of one in ten. That was why there were only less than a thousand Heavenly King-level practitioners among the over ten thousand Grandmaster-level practitioners in the Great Summer Country.]

    [After knowing this data, you felt relieved. At the same time, you felt that a 50% success rate was still too low. If you allowed these veteran Grandmaster-level practitioners to consume the Dragon Spirit Pill, perhaps the success rate of their advancement could be increased to 80%.]

    [Next, you started gathering veteran Grandmaster-level practitioners to consume the Dragon Spirit Pill.]

    [In the fourteenth year, your cultivation had been stuck at the second stage of the Nascent Soul Stage for several years. You felt that it was becoming increasingly difficult to improve your cultivation. The main reason for this was the lack of Qi. Even though you were consuming one Dragon Spirit Pill every month, your cultivation still hadn’t broken through to the third stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.]

    [Therefore, you stopped trying to improve your cultivation and instead tried to improve your Divine Consciousness.]

    Su Xing nodded slightly, mumbling to himself:

    “My cultivation is temporarily difficult to improve. Perhaps enhancing my Divine Consciousness would be a good direction…”

    Su Xing’s understanding of Divine Consciousness was limited. He had only briefly read a few descriptions in the experience of the cultivation predecessors behind the Eternal Spring Technique.

    Cultivators all have Divine Consciousness, but the Divine Consciousness of low-level cultivators is weak and can be almost ignored. When they reach the Golden Elixir Stage, their Divine Consciousness will gradually take shape. Only Nascent Soul cultivators can truly use their Divine Consciousness, while Divine Transformation cultivators can extend their Divine Consciousness to a hundred zhang (approximately 333 feet) or more!

    There are many benefits to cultivating Divine Consciousness. Within the range of its coverage, every blade of grass and every tree is clear to the cultivator, and no movement can escape their Divine Consciousness.

    A stronger Divine Consciousness can also learn some Divine Consciousness-based techniques, allowing them to kill invisibly.

    For Su Xing, Divine Consciousness had an even greater use.

    Alchemy!

    With a stronger Divine Consciousness, his control over the pills within the alchemy furnace would be a step up, reducing his mistakes and increasing his chances of creating top-quality pills.

    “Unfortunately, there should be corresponding techniques for cultivating Divine Consciousness, but I don’t have any such technique right now. I can only rely on self-cultivation or consume pills to enhance my Divine Consciousness…”

    Su Xing muttered.

    “Luckily, I have the Nourishing Soul Pill, which has always kept pace with the enhancement of my Divine Consciousness…”

    Previously, when improving his cultivation, Su Xing would also improve his Divine Consciousness. That was why, after entering the Nascent Soul Stage, his Divine Consciousness had reached a range of ten zhang, almost catching up to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

    “So, in this simulation, I should still focus on improving my alchemy skills and Divine Consciousness…”

    Su Xing thought to himself and continued the simulation.

    [Next, you consumed three Nourishing Soul Pills every day, continuously expanding your Divine Consciousness strength and range. Luckily, you had plundered enough Nourishing Soul Grass from the Descent Sect, allowing you to consume them daily.]

    [In the same year, the Great Summer military, with your help, gained an additional 150 Heavenly King-level practitioners! Along with the Grandmaster-level practitioners, they all went to the Demon-Suppressing Pass.]

    [In the fifteenth year, you continued cultivating your Divine Consciousness. After a year of constant tempering and strengthening, the range of your Divine Consciousness further expanded, reaching eleven zhang.]

    [In the sixteenth year, you cultivated your Divine Consciousness, and its range reached twelve zhang.]

    [In the seventeenth year, you felt that the speed of your Divine Consciousness cultivation was too slow, so you began to think of ways to create a new pill to increase Divine Consciousness, the Soul Concentration Pill!]

    [The Soul Concentration Pill is a mid-grade pill. Unlike the Nourishing Soul Pill, which focuses on nurturing Divine Consciousness, the Soul Concentration Pill focuses more on increasing the strength of a cultivator’s Divine Consciousness.]

    [The main ingredient in the Soul Concentration Pill is a type of wood called Soul Concentration Wood. This wood is mysterious and extraordinary, with a natural fragrance that invigorates the mind just by smelling it. If you carry it with you all the time, it can slowly enhance your Divine Consciousness. It can be truly considered a natural treasure.]

    [Soul Concentration Wood is even more precious than Dragon Spirit Grass, not only because of its powerful effects, but also because it is taken from the trunk of the Soul Concentration Tree. These trees grow one foot every ten years, meaning that a Soul Concentration Tree that is ten feet tall needs a hundred years of cultivation.]

    [Fortunately, you and Luo Shuying had discovered a three-zhang-long piece of Soul Concentration Wood when they looted the treasure vault of the Descent Sect. This Soul Concentration Wood was currently in your storage ring.]

    [Therefore, you took a small piece of Soul Concentration Wood and started refining the Soul Concentration Pill.]

    [The Soul Concentration Pill is not easy to refine. Fortunately, your alchemy has already made some progress. You not only learned to refine the Dragon Spirit Pill, which is close to a mid-grade pill, but also mastered the technique of multitasking in alchemy. Therefore, you made rapid progress in the art of refining the Soul Concentration Pill.]
