Chapter 24: Learning Alchemy, Rich Lady’s Joy Pill!
Translator: 549690339
Su Xing felt a surge of excitement.
It had been more than ten times since he started the simulation, and now, at last, he had mastered an offensive technique.
The flames that could instantly melt gold surely would cause significant damage!
Su Xing continued with the simulation.
[One day, Wang Qingxuan sought you out, bringing with her the first half of the Changchun Technique.]
[You did not accept the Changchun Technique; instead, you proposed to join the organization she belonged to.]
[Upon your request, Wang Qingxuan agreed and took you to meet an elder.]
[Learning from your past lessons, you chose a cautious approach; you only completed one or two missions per month and dedicated the rest of your time to studying alchemy.]
[You realized that your Li Fire was still too weak, and the elixirs you produced were only half-finished products.]
[Therefore, you immersed yourself in the study of the Li Fire technique, and your mastery of it gradually improved.]
[In the seventh year, you attended your sister’s funeral, and after the funeral, you contained your emotions and continued studying the Li Fire technique.]
[In the eighth year, with your relentless effort, you had a basic grasp of the Li Fire technique, and the power of your Li Fire doubled.]
[Feeling that your mastery over the Li Fire was sufficient, you decided to start crafting Fasting Pills officially.]
[Initially, you could produce only one or two finished pills per batch of elixirs.]
[But, having plenty of Spirit Rice for experimentation, your proficiency in crafting Fasting Pills soared.]
[By the tenth year, you had mastered the Fasting Pill to the extent that you could produce seven or eight finished pills from a batch of ten, and occasionally, you would create an exceptionally potent Fasting Pill that allowed the user to go three months without food, yet remain full of energy.]
[That same year, you attended the funeral of your good brother, Yu Yan.]
[In the eleventh year, feeling the time was right, you began learning how to craft Nourishing Face Pills.]
[The difficulty of crafting Nourishing Face Pills was much higher than that of Fasting Pills, requiring more than ten ingredients, including Spirit Ginseng, peach kernels, Chuanxiong, rehmannia root, and dong quai.]
[Fortunately, except for the Spirit Ginseng, most of the materials were common herbs that you could buy in the real world.]
[And luckily, you had planted several dozen ginseng plants ten years ago, which, nourished by spiritual energy for ten years, had turned into ten-year Spirit Ginseng.]
[A year later, after thousands of attempts, you finally succeeded in mastering how to substitute ordinary ginseng for Spirit Ginseng.]
[You developed a low-budget version of the “Rich Lady’s Delight Pill,” whose effects were only one-tenth of the original.]
[You took a bottle of the low-budget “Rich Lady’s Delight Pill” to Jin Congxue, hoping she could tell you the value of the elixir.]
[But Jin Congxue’s father told you that Jin Congxue had died in a side version of the Demon-Subduing Pass.]
[You returned to Kyoto in a daze, only to be discovered by an elder of the Descending Sect.]
[The elder of the Descending Sect blatantly called you a traitor and personally killed you, crushing your head in his hand.]
[You died, and the simulation ended!]
[You may choose one of the following rewards: Perseverance (Talent), Five 9th Generation Spirit Chickens (Pets), Introductory Li Fire Technique Comprehension (Spell Comprehension), Li Fire Alchemy Basics (Alchemy Comprehension)]
[Perseverance]: A green talent, priced at 10,000 energy points.
[Five 9th Generation Spirit Chickens]: Spirit Pets, which have continuously evolved their bloodline by feeding on Spirit Rice, successfully becoming low-grade Spirit Pets, priced at 100k energy points.
[Introductory Li Fire Technique Comprehension]: Ten years of comprehension experience, where you will immediately grasp the basics of the Li Fire Technique upon learning, priced at 100k energy points.
[Li Fire Alchemy Basics]: Beginner-level alchemy experience, contains insights on the production of the Fasting Pill (Mahayana Level) and the Nourishing Face Pill (Heavenly King Level), priced at 100k energy points.
Excited by the rewards, Su Xing also felt an itch of resentment.
[“Damn it, why can I only bring back one reward?”]
[“I want both the Introductory Li Fire Technique Comprehension and the Perseverance Talent!”]
Amid his complaints, Su Xing’s simulation aimed to gain alchemy experience.
But unexpectedly, he drew Perseverance, a heaven-defying talent.
Su Xing clearly saw how this talent had helped him stubbornly persevere through the difficulties he could not break through in the simulation.
For instance, the continuous ten years of night and day comprehension of the Li Fire Technique would have been impossible for Su Xing without this talent.
However, choosing this talent meant he might have to start from scratch learning alchemy and the Li Fire Technique in the next simulation.
As Su Xing was in the midst of his dilemma, a notification from the simulator rang in his mind:
[Ding, the host may spend 500,000 energy points to upgrade the simulator, with the following functions in the Life Simulator 2.0 version...]
(Woo, for love’s sake, I’m generating power here, yet my collection still hasn’t broken a hundred, I hope the lords will follow more~)
