Chapter 23: Purple Talent, Thunder-Fire True Spiritual Root

Jiang Yifeng had already understood the upgraded functions of the simulator, so he didn't dwell on it further.

He looked at the remaining two simulation attempts.

Without hesitation, he silently chanted, "Start simulation!"

【Consumed 1 simulation attempt, remaining attempts: 1】

【Extracting Blue Talent costs 100,000 Energy Value, extracting Purple Talent costs 1,000,000 Energy Value. Please choose!】

"Hmm?"

Jiang Yifeng looked at the energy consumption and felt it was much less than he had anticipated.

Previously, the energy value difference between extracting Green Talent and Blue Talent was a hundredfold.

Yet, extracting Purple Talent was only ten times more than Blue Talent.

This made Jiang Yifeng a bit puzzled and even worried if Purple Talent was not as powerful.

【Ding, Green Talent and Blue Talent are worlds apart. Green Talent only affects ordinary people, while Blue Talent allows one to start cultivating and affects cultivators; hence the large energy consumption difference.】

The simulator seemed to sense Jiang Yifeng's thoughts and provided an explanation.

Hearing this, Jiang Yifeng's anxious heart calmed down.

He softly muttered, "Extract Purple Talent."

【Ding, 1,000,000 Energy Value deducted, extracting Purple Talent. Remaining Energy Value: 11.5 billion...】

【Congratulations, you have obtained Purple Talent: Thunder-Fire True Spiritual Root.】

【Thunder-Fire True Spiritual Root: A mutated top-tier true spiritual root with both thunder and fire attributes.】

【Ding, detected that the host already has Five Elements Fake Spiritual Root. Replacing talent...】

【Replacement complete. With the mutated Thunder-Fire True Spiritual Root, you are now a small genius in the Immortal Dao.】

"YES, hit the jackpot!"

Jiang Yifeng excitedly pumped his fist.

Looking at the Thunder-Fire True Spiritual Root (Talent) he had drawn, his emotions surged.

This spiritual root talent was exactly what he had been yearning for.

The previous Five Elements Fake Spiritual Root was truly garbage, no wonder the simulator marked it as the worst spiritual root.

In his previous simulations, his Immortal Dao cultivation progress was excruciatingly slow.

But now, just from the description, this Thunder-Fire Mutated True Spiritual Root was vastly superior.

The simulator even marked him as a small genius in the Immortal Dao with this root, making Jiang Yifeng quite eager.

【You were puzzled that the dragon energy in your Qi Sea didn't merge with the spiritual energy and couldn't be controlled, remaining separate.】

【However, since it didn't hinder your breakthrough, you didn't pay much attention to it.】

【In the third month, you clearly felt that after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, progress became more difficult.】

【In a month, you only broke through one minor realm, reaching the second level of Foundation Establishment, still some distance from the third level.】

【This month, you also encountered a more troublesome issue.】

【You ran out of Spirit Stones.】

【With improved talent, your cultivation speed increased, but so did your resource consumption.】

【In just three months, you consumed 1,800 Spirit Stones, leaving you with only 200.】

【With no solution, you continued cultivating.】

【Ten days later, you exhausted your Spirit Stones, and your Immortal Dao cultivation just reached the third level of Foundation Establishment.】

【Without Spirit Stones, you felt your cultivation progress slow down significantly.】

【Nine more months passed, making it a year since the simulation started. Your Immortal Dao cultivation broke through one minor realm, reaching the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.】

【This made you realize the importance of cultivation resources again.】

【With enough Spirit Stones, breaking through a minor realm took only a month, but without resources, it took several times longer.】

【In the second year, you felt the time needed for breakthroughs increasing. It took you a whole year to break through one minor realm, reaching the fifth level of Foundation Establishment.】

【In the third year, you hid the Teleportation Jade Plate, storage ring, and even the Breath Concealing Talisman early on.】

【Based on your previous simulation experience, you worried that keeping these items on you would prevent you from taking advantage of the white-robed woman.】

【Two months after hiding these items, a white-robed woman appeared at the ruins.】

【You felt a bit excited, thinking your Spirit Stone resources had finally arrived.】

【But on the surface, you pretended to be indifferent, acting as if you hadn't seen the white-robed woman.】

【The white-robed woman glanced at you, then her expression turned stern, and she disappeared from her spot, reappearing in front of you.】

【Before you could react, she grabbed your neck.】

【The sudden change caught you off guard.】

【You couldn't understand what went wrong in this simulation.】

【In previous simulations, although the white-robed woman had checked your cultivation method, she had never acted directly.】

【You couldn't figure out what was happening now.】
