Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Becoming a Disciple of Qing Yunzi, Acquiring the Spirit Field Blessed Land

Su Xing had gone through so much trouble for what, if not to take this elder as his master?Although he was only an honorary disciple, the benefits he received were sure to be better than the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique he had previously obtained.

Therefore, without hesitation, Su Xing directly performed a salute and said,

"Disciple pays respect to Master!"

With a smile on his face, Qing Yunzi stroked his long beard and said,

"Since you have taken me as your master, I have a few gifts to bestow upon you!"

"The first gift is an Immortal Law called the 'Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique,' which I acquired by chance. Despite my diligent research for a thousand years, I still have not been able to cultivate it to perfection..."

"I've seen that you have a natural talent for agriculture, so I'm giving you this Immortal Law. If you can cultivate it to perfection, you will have a place in the Three Thousand Worlds!"

After speaking, Qing Yunzi handed the jade slip engraved with the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique to Su Xing.

"Thank you, Master!"

Su Xing took it eagerly. He knew the value of this Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique was worth ten billion points of energy! To think he had now obtained it in the real world without spending any energy at all when he didn't know how long it would have taken him to save up enough to bring it back from the simulator.

Qing Yunzi nodded slightly and continued,

"The second gift is this three-inch mini Spirit Field Blessed Land."

"Although the space is merely a small mountain a hundred paces in diameter, this mountain is rich in spiritual energy and has clear waters and lush greenery, making it very suitable for you to study the nurturing technique!"

As he spoke, Qing Yunzi reached out a finger, and a mark touched Su Xing's brow, merging into his body.

Su Xing felt a connection, now entirely linked with this small world, able to sense every movement within it.

"Hiss... does this mean I now directly own this copy? Can I enter and exit at will?"

Su Xing was once again astonished by his generous master's abilities.

Qing Yunzi then took out a token and handed it to Su Xing, saying,

"The third gift is the Qingyun Token of the Qingyun Sect. Although you are only my honorary disciple, your status in the sect is not low. Once you cultivate to the Return to Void Realm, you can become my official disciple. Then, you may go to the Qingyun Sect in the Qingyun Realm on your own!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xing took the ancient token, feeling a little excited.

That Qingyun Sect was obviously a legitimate cultivation sect with likely many resources for cultivation. If he could enter it, he would make a fortune.

It was a pity that Qing Yunzi had set a goal for him, to break through to the Return to Void Realm before he could go to the Qingyun Sect, which was still far off for Su Xing.

After giving the three gifts, Qing Yunzi then asked,

"Disciple, do you have any questions?"

After thinking for a moment, Su Xing said,

"Master, I lack a superior cultivation technique... And didn't you say I am suited for alchemy? But I also lack the technique of alchemy..."

Qing Yunzi nodded slightly and handed over another jade slip, saying,

"I am not adept in the way of alchemy, but I happened to obtain this 'Li Fire Alchemy Technique,' which records three hundred and sixty pill recipes, which should be enough for you to learn..."

Su Xing quickly took the alchemy technique. To him, the path of alchemy was absolutely crucial at this stage.

Whether it was improving his own strength or selling pills to earn money for energy, both options were excellent.

Finally, Qing Yunzi said,

"As for a superior cultivation technique, you should know that biting off more than you can chew is never good. You already possess the Changchun Technique, which is sufficient for you to cultivate to the Return to Void Realm and is beneficial for you in many ways. Once you have cultivated this technique to perfection, come find me again!"

After finishing, Qing Yunzi waved his sleeve, and his figure slowly dissipated into the small world.

Qing Yunzi's laughter still echoed in the air,

"A drifting cultivator, through the paths and fields for three thousand years... How joyous! How joyous~"

Su Xing looked at where his master had disappeared, utterly dumbfounded,

"Master, I haven't even gotten on yet!"

"Bah! Master, my technique is only an incomplete version! It's nowhere near enough to cultivate to the Return to Void Realm!"

Su Xing called out loudly, but did not receive the slightest response.

His face immediately darkened as he complained,

"Damn it! Acting like some reclusive expert... why didn't you leave me the cultivation technique?"

Su Xing was somewhat speechless; his Changchun Technique was incomplete, nowhere near enough to cultivate to the Return to Void Realm.

With a light sigh, he then made his way into the thatched hut, ready to see if his master had left him any property. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After a long search, he only found a few bags of seeds, a worn-out alchemy furnace, and a few hundred Spirit Stones.

"Sigh... With these Spirit Stones, can I cultivate to the Return to Void Realm?"

Su Xing suddenly felt speechless. These few hundred Spirit Stones, combined with the 200 he had saved previously, didn't even total a thousand.

It would be good enough if he managed to break through to the Golden Core Stage... As for the Return to Void, that was still far too distant!

"Well, it's just a matter of simulating a few hundred more times, bringing out a bit of cultivation level each time. I'll surely be able to break through to the Return to Void Realm!"

Su Xing consoled himself in this way.

"But I must start looking for the latter half of the Changchun Technique..."

Su Xing rubbed his chin, considering that the Changchun Technique came from that mysterious organization, and to find the other half, he would surely need to make contact with them.

After sorting out the property his cheap mentor had left for him, he began to carefully examine this "Three-Inch Spirit Field Blessed Land."

Just as Qing Yunzi had said, the small blessed land was round with a diameter of a hundred yards, totaling roughly five hundred acres in size.

However, the blessed land was overgrown with trees and weeds, the cultivable Spirit Fields adding up to just over ten acres.

Nonetheless, this portable blessed land was an invaluable treasure for Su Xing!

Moved by the thought, he left the "Qingyun Spirit Field" blessed land and returned to the real world.

By now it was late outside, and as soon as Su Xing stepped out, he saw Jin Congxue waiting beside him.

"Su Xing, you've finally come out!"

Jin Congxue said somewhat excitedly.

After chatting with Jin Congxue for a while, Su Xing then asked,

"Congxue, those Spirit Stones are useless to you but are very useful to me. I'd like to exchange fifty catties of Spirit Rice for your fifty Spirit Stones, if that's alright?"

After hearing this, Jin Congxue shook her head and said,

"I was able to get these rewards because of your help; I should naturally share half with you!"

Having said that, Jin Congxue handed fifty Spirit Stones to Su Xing.

Su Xing didn't hesitate, accepting them directly.

For the current Su Xing, Spirit Rice could be obtained through farming, a renewable resource.

But Spirit Stones, Su Xing had not yet found other methods of obtaining them, and as they were used up, their number dwindled, making each one incredibly precious.

Jin Congxue glanced at the sky and said,

"Ah Xing, it's getting late! Let's head back to the city first!"

Hearing this, Su Xing nodded and returned to Jinling City with Jin Congxue.

The time within the Qingyun Spirit Field copy flowed one-to-one with the real world.

It was now November 26th outside, and the simulation cooldown was complete, so Su Xing did not hesitate to choose to simulate.

"Begin simulation!"

[1200 energy points consumed, 2680 energy points remaining, infinite simulation attempts remaining.]

[Simulation starts!]

[Extracting a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1000 energy points. Do you wish to extract?]

"Extract the green talent!"

[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the green talent, Mister Strength!]
