    Chapter 9: Cultivation-Oriented Instance, Qingyun Spirit Field

    Su Xing took a deep breath. He had a hunch about this.

    Now, he was nine tenths certain that the simulated version of him would act according to his real-life thoughts.

    Su Xing continued the simulation.

    【This year, you were delayed from graduating due to your low cultivation level.】

    【You had anticipated this and focused all your energy on making money.】

    【You borrowed a large sum from your best friend Yu Yan and opened an equipment shop in the capital city, specializing in selling equipment to low-level professionals.】

    【You had gained a little fame within the school, and your credibility was high, so many freshmen were willing to buy your equipment.】

    【You ran dungeons with freshmen to help them level up while also selling low-level equipment. Within three years, you had amassed a fortune.】

    【In the fifth year, your net worth surpassed one billion. Your equipment business was no longer limited to the capital city. You established the Taro Association, opening shops across the Great Summer Country, with a focus on Jinling City in Jiangsu Province.】

    【You instructed your subordinates to investigate any leads about spirit stones, but there was no news.】

    【One day, Wang Qingxuan found you.】

    【She brought you half of the Eternal Spring Technique. You told her you didn’t need this half, and you wanted her to help you find the other half.】

    【While confused, Wang Qingxuan agreed.】

    【The next night, Wang Qingxuan disappeared again. You didn’t ask too much, and you continued to make money and develop.】

    【You have a kind face and are quite credible in the business world, so you received several large orders in succession. Your net worth doubled quickly.】

    【You were expelled from the Capital City Professional University, but you weren’t upset. You focused solely on your business.】

    【In the seventh year, you sensed something and realized your sister would be going to the Demon-Suppressing Pass instance.】

    【Knowing you couldn’t stop this from happening, you chose to return to your hometown and spent a month lovingly caring for your parents and Su Nian’an.】

    【A month later, you attended Su Nian’an’s funeral. You were heartbroken.】

    【After the funeral, you returned to the capital city and continued running your business.】

    【One day, you received a message, claiming that a Grandmaster-level professional in Jinling City possessed a collection of rare items called spirit stones.】

    It was here!

    Su Xing’s heart pounded. This was the key to whether he could cultivate or not!

    【You traveled to Jinling City overnight and met the Grandmaster-level professional.】

    【This Grandmaster-level professional believed in Buddhism and liked you. She wanted to have a deep conversation with you.】

    【You glanced at her face. Although she was almost forty, she was well-preserved, and she looked like she was only in her thirties. She had a lot of charm.】

    【You stayed in Jinling City for seven days. You became close friends who talked about everything. You learned that her name was Jin Cong Xue.】

    【You learned that she had three spirit stones. You decided to offer three hundred million for them.】

    【She shook her head and said, “We’re friends. I’ll give you a friendship price of thirty million.”】

    【You received the spirit stones from Jin Cong Xue and excitedly returned to your residence. You prepared to practice the cultivation technique and absorb the spirit stones.】

    【You successfully absorbed a trace of Qi from the spirit stones. You were overjoyed. It proved that you could successfully cultivate.】

    【You spent three days absorbing half of a spirit stone and found that your cultivation had broken through to the second stage of the Qi Refining Realm!】

    【Despite your longing, you held back and kept the remaining two and a half spirit stones. You chose not to continue cultivating.】

    Su Xing clenched his fists, excited after reading the simulation information.

    He’d done it! Now, he had a spiritual root, spirit stones, and a cultivation technique. He could finally cultivate successfully!

    Su Xing was eager to bring the spirit stones back from the simulation, but he patiently chose to continue simulating.

    【You were incredibly excited after your cultivation advancement. You found Jin Cong Xue again and asked her how she obtained the spirit stones.】

    【Jin Cong Xue didn’t hide anything from you. She told you that she acquired the spirit stones six years ago from an instance called “Qingyun Spirit Field.”】

    【She had entered the instance to help an old man farm for a week and received a sack of spirit rice and three spirit stones.】

    Spirit field, spirit rice, spirit stones…

    Su Xing’s eyes widened. Without a doubt, the instance Jin Cong Xue entered was definitely related to cultivation.

    “There are cultivation-oriented instances… Of course, it all makes sense now!”

    Su Xing finally understood where the cultivation technique and spirit stones came from—they were from these cultivation instances!

    However, cultivation instances must be high level, and he couldn’t access them now.

    Su Xing patiently continued reading.

    【You realized the importance of this instance and excitedly asked Jin Cong Xue where it was located.】

    【Jin Cong Xue shook her head gently and said that the Qingyun Spirit Field instance had already closed, and she was the only professional to have entered it.】

    【Jin Cong Xue said that the NPC old man in the instance said she didn’t have a cultivation talent, otherwise she would have received a gift of fortune.】

    【You were extremely excited. You quickly asked Jin Cong Xue when and where she entered that instance!】

    【Jin Cong Xue thought for a moment and said that she had entered it in the late November of the New Era 2023, by chance in the west of Jinling City. The instance existed for only seven days.】

    Su Xing was stunned. He looked at the time on his phone.

    New Era 2023, October 7th, 14:31.

    “Hiss.”

    Su Xing took a deep breath. This meant that the “Qingyun Spirit Field” instance had not yet opened in the real world, and he still had a chance to enter the cultivation instance!

    “No rush… The instance will open in a little over a month. The most important thing during this time is to strengthen myself!”

    Through Jin Cong Xue, Su Xing knew that he had to have cultivation talent, also known as a spiritual root, to receive more gifts of fortune in the instance.

    This was perfect!

    Su Xing had a talent called “Spiritual Root Holder”!

    Therefore, Su Xing just had to go to Jinling City in mid-November!

    【You continued to sell equipment as always and established a second base of the Taro Association in Jinling City.】

    【You managed your shop and didn’t neglect your investigation into the whereabouts of spirit stones.】

    【Unfortunately, you didn’t get any more information about spirit stones. However, through Jin Cong Xue’s connections, you gained more network resources, and your equipment business grew.】

    【Three more years passed, and you became a famous wealthy man in Jinling City. Due to Jin Cong Xue, even Grandmaster-level professionals were polite to you.】

    【This year, Yu Yan died. You attended his funeral.】

    【Another year passed, and you made a fortune by hoarding a large number of potion-type items by predicting market fluctuations in advance. Your net worth reached five hundred billion.】

    【One day, Jin Cong Xue found you. She seemed uneasy.】

    【Jin Cong Xue told you she was being called up. The pressure on the front line was growing, and she had to go to the Demon-Suppressing Pass.】

    Su Xing was completely dumbfounded. It was the Demon-Suppressing Pass again!

    This Demon-Suppressing Pass was a curse.

    His little sister Su Nian’an, his best friend Yu Yan… Now, even Jin Cong Xue had to go to the Demon-Suppressing Pass?

    【You didn’t want her to go to the Demon-Suppressing Pass. She told you she had to, that it was the obligation of every professional above Grandmaster level.】

    【You then asked her about the Demon-Suppressing Pass.】
