While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move 91

Chapter 91: Riches Abound, Eight Million Energy! (Seeking First-Day Subscriptions, Fifth Update)

Under the influence of the Plant Affinity talent, a new batch of spirit grains in the Spirit Field Paradise was nearing maturity.

Su Xing, for once, didn’t immediately start refining elixirs. Instead, he began cultivating a new piece of wasteland.

The Spirit Field Paradise possessed a pleasant climate, ideal for spirit plant growth, allowing for planting at any time.

Su Xing had previously cultivated five mu of spirit grain, producing a surplus that he couldn’t even finish.

But now, with the Gluttonous Talent, Su Xing had to consider expanding his cultivation area. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be enough to satisfy his appetite!

He estimated that he needed to expand the spirit grain cultivation area to ten mu to meet his needs and sustain his Gluttonous Talent.

“There are also the spirit chickens, these hundred-plus spirit chickens are nowhere near enough for me! I finish one a day, they’re gone… I need to raise at least a few hundred.”

Su Xing spoke as he grabbed a plump rooster from the chicken coop, picked a few cloves of garlic, and stir-fried a delicious dish of braised chicken.

He quickly finished his meal, consuming a full twenty jin of spirit rice, an entire chicken, and several side dishes, barely managing to fill his stomach.

After eating, Su Xing sat cross-legged, restoring his internal spirit energy while observing the changes in his physical body.

Sure enough, the Gluttonous Talent started working. Under his divine sense, Su Xing could feel a faint trace of energy nourishing his physical body.

After a short while, his spirit energy replenished, Su Xing resumed his work on the fields, clearing the wasteland.

“It’s time to plant the Gathering Spirit Flowers, the sooner the better!”

Su Xing carefully selected a prime location with excellent feng shui for the three precious Gathering Spirit Flowers, planting them.

After tending the fields, Su Xing began his daily elixir refining.

For the next week, Su Xing dedicated at least eight hours a day to refining elixirs. Thanks to the Multitasking Talent, he could refine two furnaces of elixirs simultaneously.

This doubled his elixir refining speed.

However, he also encountered a problem: using the Fire Control Art consumed a lot of spirit energy, and the prolonged burning even strained the second-order strange metal cauldron, making it struggle to withstand the high temperature.

Fortunately, Su Xing’s control over the Fire Control Art was excellent, allowing him to adjust the flame’s intensity at any time.

After numerous experiments, he settled on a suitable temperature, achieving a balance between rapid elixir refining, minimal energy expenditure, and minimal damage to the second-order strange metal cauldron.

This approach only worked for refining low-grade elixirs. Refining mid-grade elixirs required even higher temperatures, which the second-order strange metal cauldron couldn’t handle.

A week quickly passed. Within that time, Su Xing refined a total of five thousand Beauty-Preserving Pills and Healing Pills, even with the distraction of tending the fields and planting flowers. Otherwise, his refining speed would have been even faster.

That day, Su Xing placed the five thousand finished elixirs in his storage ring and went to the villa to meet Jin Congxue.

“Hey, did you get a new hairstyle? Why’d you cut a princess cut?”

Su Xing asked, a hint of surprise in his voice.

Jin Congxue chuckled, adjusting her hair and saying, “How is it? My new hairstyle is pretty cool, right?”

Su Xing nodded slightly. Jin Congxue naturally possessed a charming aura, and with the princess cut, she exuded a hint of a queenly presence.

“Hehe, I successfully advanced to Grandmaster-Level Professional! Plus, the first batch of goods from the Lingyun Trading Company has arrived, so it’s a double celebration!”

Jin Congxue seemed to be in a good mood.

Su Xing was taken aback. Based on the original timeline, Jin Congxue’s talent wasn’t considered exceptional, and she wouldn’t break through to Grandmaster-Level until she was almost forty.

However, she reached Grandmaster-Level at under thirty, a feat worthy of being called a prodigy.

“It seems like my actions are slowly changing the real world with the passage of time…”

Su Xing mused to himself. Recently, he had given Jin Congxue many low-grade versions of the Nourishing Yuan Pills, along with regular deliveries of spirit rice, eggs, and even a hen.

These gifts undoubtedly aided Jin Congxue in improving her strength.

“The real world has already begun to change. I need to be more cautious and avoid exposure at all costs…”

Su Xing felt a renewed sense of vigilance.

They quickly finished their meal. The entire table of food was almost enough for Su Xing alone, truly reflecting the Gluttonous Talent’s ability to eat anything and everything!

Jin Congxue had already grown accustomed to Su Xing’s appetite. After dinner, Su Xing handed her the five thousand elixirs he had prepared.

In return, Jin Congxue presented two storage rings to Su Xing, boasting slightly:

“The acquisition of the first batch of Lingyun Trading Company’s assets is basically complete. We’ve even secured their previously stockpiled goods, bundled and sold to us.”

“Big Boss, take a look at the first batch of goods. Do you think they meet your standards?”

A playful tone laced Jin Congxue’s words.

Su Xing eagerly opened the storage rings, overwhelmed by the mountains of equipment piled inside. One storage ring wasn’t enough; it took two to hold everything.

“Goodness gracious, Miss… how much equipment is there?”

Su Xing asked, his voice laced with astonishment.

Jin Congxue proudly replied, “A full one and a half million pieces of White-Quality equipment! It’s the goods Lingyun Trading Company accumulated last year. What do you think, impressive, right? And that’s not all! There are still plenty of goods in the various branches of Lingyun Trading Company across the land, yet to be retrieved. Once we gather them all, there should be another one or two million pieces of equipment!”

She winked and teased, “Big Boss, you won’t have to worry about going hungry anymore, right?”

Su Xing felt his heart swell with joy. He nodded repeatedly, “Indeed, with so many, I’ll be stuffed to the gills!”

One and a half million pieces of White-Quality equipment. If Su Xing absorbed them all, he’d likely gain close to eight million energy points!

For Su Xing, this was an unprecedented fortune!

Jin Congxue continued, “Besides the equipment, there are also some other dungeon items. You can take a look and see if you need anything.”

After dinner, Su Xing, for a rare occasion, took Jin Congxue to watch a movie. It wasn’t until the afternoon that Su Xing returned to school.

He skillfully entered the Spirit Field Paradise and exchanged all one and a half million pieces of White-Quality equipment for energy. With that, his simulation energy reached an unprecedented level, a whopping eight and a half million points!

New Era 2024, March 3rd, afternoon. The chill of winter dissipated, replaced by the breath of spring. Su Xing began his twenty-sixth simulation.

“Begin simulation!”

【Ding! This simulation consumes 2600 energy points. Remaining energy points: 8,532,333. Remaining simulation attempts: unlimited.】

【Simulation begins!】

【Draw a White-Quality talent for 100 energy points, a Green-Quality talent for 1000 energy points, and a Blue-Quality talent for 10,000 energy points. Do you wish to draw?】

Su Xing felt a sense of confusion, asking:

“A Blue-Quality talent costs ten thousand energy points. When will I be able to draw higher-level talents?”

A line of small text appeared on the simulator, responding:

【Drawing a Purple-Quality talent requires one hundred thousand energy points. Bringing out a talent requires one million energy points, and your energy reserves need to exceed ten million to unlock Purple-Quality talents…】

Su Xing was stunned to hear that obtaining a Purple-Quality talent required a total of one million one hundred thousand energy points. His entire being felt a pang of disbelief.

“Damn, that Purple-Quality talent is way too expensive! What if I accidentally draw a useless one? I’d be so screwed!”

Su Xing currently had eight and a half million energy points, still a bit short of ten million. However, at this rate, he should reach the threshold soon enough.

He sighed and said, “Draw a Blue-Quality talent!”

【Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Blue-Quality talent, Unstoppable Spear!】

Su Xing’s voice was laced with a hint of disdain, but his eyes sparkled with anticipation.

He couldn’t wait to begin the simulation.

【In the Spirit Field Paradise, you become aware that you’re in a simulation.】

【While taking a bath, you secretly examine yourself and discover your talents in that particular area are even more extraordinary.】

【Over the next half-year, you eat tremendously, and your cultivation progresses rapidly. In just six months, your body refinement cultivation reaches the Great Perfection stage of the Refining Viscera Realm.】

【You continue to maintain contact with Jin Congxue every week. Your relationship with her deepens, and during a spontaneous encounter, you take your relationship with her a step further. She also becomes aware of your prowess.】

【One day, Wang Qingxuan approaches you. She informs you that she’s joining a mysterious church.】

【You’ve been anticipating this day for a long time. After a night of amicable exchange, you join the Descent Sect.】

【For the first three months within the Descent Sect, you maintain a low profile. Then, one time, after careful planning, you reveal your talent for elixir refining. Subsequently, Elder Dog and Luo Shuying contact you.】

【As expected, you join Luo Shuying’s faction. She promises that if you complete your tasks diligently, she’ll guarantee you the position of Elder after a year.】

【The next day, you approach Luo Shuying alone and say to her: “Do you remember the little girl who cried all night in the rain? She’s gone, Luo Shuying!”】

【Luo Shuying, as expected, becomes serious upon hearing your words. However, with your persuasive tongue, she believes you’re a Chosen One who travels through timelines.】

【You reveal your plan to Luo Shuying and request her help in exchanging various medicinal herbs from within the Descent Sect, including Nourishing Yuan Grass, Yellow Fairy Essence, Dragon Spirit Flower, Primordial Martial Grass, and Concentrating Spirit Wood.】

【Two weeks later, Luo Shuying brings you the herbs you need. You then begin refining elixirs.】

【Thanks to Multitasking, your elixir refining speed is incredibly fast, allowing you to refine five thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills or Refining Viscera Pills every month.】

【The second year, you don’t rush, focusing on accumulating your foundation. In a single year, you amass five thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills.】

【The third year, you continue to eat like a king. Your physical body gradually reaches its peak. You feel more energetic than ever, but you know you still have a long way to go before reaching the stage where you can consume Primordial Martial Pills.】

【Besides cultivation, you spend your time refining elixirs and tending your spirit fields. Your Gathering Spirit Flowers mature this year, providing a significant boost to your spirit energy.】

【The fourth year, you accumulate ten thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills, enough to supply the Great Summer Country. But you know it’s not yet the right time. You start refining Refining Viscera Pills.】

【It takes you a year to refine fifty thousand Refining Viscera Pills. The number of elixirs you possess is enough to create thirty thousand Grandmaster-Level Professionals.】

【One day, Luo Shuying approaches you. She informs you that the crisis in her hometown is worsening and she needs your help.】

【You don’t hesitate. You give her thirty thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills and twenty thousand Refining Viscera Pills. In return, she exchanges all her contribution points for spirit herbs and gifts them to you.】

【The fifth year, you feel the time is ripe. It’s time to start refining Dragon Spirit Pills.】

【With constant practice, your Dragon Spirit Pill refining becomes increasingly proficient. Your success rate reaches sixty percent. In just one year, you refine six thousand Dragon Spirit Pills!】

【You store the Dragon Spirit Pills in the Spirit Field Paradise, using special jade boxes to slow down their medicinal effects.】

【The sixth year, you begin refining Primordial Martial Pills.】

【You spend half a year mastering the basics of Primordial Martial Pill refining. You spend another half a year increasing the success rate to thirty percent.】

【At this point, you have over a thousand Primordial Martial Pills, including many custom-made weakened versions using insufficiently mature Primordial Martial Grass. These pills have weaker medicinal effects, intended for your future breakthrough to the Primordial Martial Realm.】

【However, you don’t rush to break through to the Primordial Martial Realm. First, you believe your physical strength can be further enhanced. Second, you’re concerned about wasting a simulation opportunity if you fail. So, you plan to consume the pills towards the end of the simulation.】

【The seventh year, you feel the time is right. You’ve obtained enough resources from the Descent Sect for now. You still have tens of thousands of unrefined herbs, enough to create more strong individuals for the Great Summer.】

【You secretly rob the Descent Sect’s treasury with Luo Shuying, ready to defect at any moment.】

【But before you can escape, a daring plan takes root in your mind. You decide to collaborate with Luo Shuying and find an opportunity to kill Elder Dog directly!】
