“Three Gathering Spirit Flowers, better than none at all,”

Su Xing sighed softly.

While three Gathering Spirit Flowers were not enough for his Nascent Soul Stage cultivation needs, they were indeed sufficient for his daily alchemy to replenish the spiritual power he consumed.

Ever since Su Xing learned that the spiritual energy in the Spirit Field Blessed Land was limited, he had become much more cautious in using spiritual power, not daring to cultivate at all, even wishing he could split one portion of spiritual power into two for use, because he also consumed spiritual energy during daily alchemy. Once his spiritual power was exhausted, he wouldn’t even be able to make elixirs.

“However, with these three Gathering Spirit Flowers, perhaps I could supplement the spiritual energy needed for my daily alchemy?”

A desire for the Gathering Spirit Flowers took root in Su Xing’s heart.

“Let’s continue with the simulation...”

[That same year, you became the eighteenth Elder of the Descending Sect, codenamed Elder Ya.]

[The next day, the Shadow Protector contacted you, requesting you to specifically concoct a batch of Essence-Nourishing Pills for her, amounting to five thousand.]

[She provided you with enough medicinal ingredients, you nodded, indicating that she could come to collect them in two months.]

[The Shadow Protector was shocked when she heard your words, as she initially thought it would take you a year to concoct five thousand pills, but unexpectedly you told her it could be done in two months.]

[The Shadow Protector expressed her doubts, questioning you why you weren’t fully dedicated to concocting elixirs for the Descending Sect.]

[You chuckled, stating that you had been merely concealing your abilities, and that your actions naturally had their own purpose.]

[At the same time, you raised a request for cooperation, offering to provide the Shadow Protector with two thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills each month, but in return, the Shadow Protector needed to supply you with a thousand spiritual medicines monthly.] T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

[The Shadow Protector was wary but faced with the immense temptation, she agreed to your request for cooperation.]

[In the sixth year, you accumulated even more elixirs, and by now you had nearly eighty thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills and seventy thousand Organ Refining Pills in hand.]

[In the seventh year, the number of elixirs you held surpassed two hundred thousand for the first time—enough to create forty thousand Grandmaster Level professionals. You had unparalleled confidence in resisting the invasion of Demonic Beasts.]

[However, as the years passed, your involvement with the Shadow Protector and your inside-and-out collusion meant the Descending Sect’s treasury of Spiritual Medicine had dwindled significantly, causing discontent among the other Elders and Protectors.]

[With no other choice, you claimed to have had a small breakthrough in your alchemy skills, which would allow you to provide a thousand elixirs to the sect each month, while also increasing the amount of medicinal materials you received each month.]

[In the eighth year, as your cultivation level continued to refine, you drew ever closer to the Nascent Soul Second Layer.]

[On a sunny, breezy morning, you achieved a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Second Layer, a sudden and effortless advancement after a long period of accumulation.]

[It took you a full eight years to advance from the Nascent Soul First Layer to the Second Layer. Although part of this was due to the time you spent on alchemy, you estimated that even with full dedication to cultivation, it would take four to five years to break through in the Nascent Soul Stage, and the higher the stage, the more difficult the breakthrough.]

Su Xing furrowed his brows slightly upon reading this. To break through from the Nascent Soul First Layer to the Second took eight years, and including the last simulated cultivation period, advancing from the First to the Second Layer had taken over a decade in total.

Since cultivation naturally becomes more difficult later on, wouldn’t advancing to the Divinity Transformation Stage Great Perfection require two to three hundred years?

Although for an ordinary Cultivator this speed was already extremely fast, Su Xing was still not satisfied.

Two to three hundred years would require more than a dozen simulations in the simulator.

This was only possible because Su Xing could extract his cultivation level each time. If Su Xing obtained some Cultivation Techniques or secret manuals, wouldn’t his ability to enhance his cultivation become even more difficult?

Touching his chin, Su Xing thought:

“To quickly increase my cultivation level, there appear to be two methods at present. The first is to enhance the quality of my Spiritual Root. If I obtain a purple-quality Spiritual Root, perhaps it would only take a century to break through to a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator...”

“Secondly, of course, is to refine an elixir that can increase the cultivation of Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators!”

Muttering to himself, Su Xing said:

“I remember, doesn’t Li Fire Alchemy record an elixir called Dragon Spirit Pill that can enhance the cultivation of Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators?”
