[Humanoid Nuke]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points.[Origin Martial Realm Great Perfection]: Body Refinement Cultivation Level, priced at 3 million energy points.
[Twenty-Five Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, containing a slight understanding of the Divine Strength Pill, priced at 700,000 energy points.
[Nascent Soul Stage Seventh Layer]: Nascent Soul grand elder, terrifying as such, after exchange will advance to the late phase of Nascent Soul Stage, priced at 6 million energy points.
[Basic Understanding of the Small Spirit Gathering Array]: Priced at 5,000 energy points.
After looking at the five rewards above, Su Xing did not hesitate much.
The Humanoid Nuke talent was too overpowered, better to let it remain honestly in the pool of talents.
As for alchemy experience, the creation of Divine Strength Pills was not an easy task. Su Xing might have to refine one or two thousand batches before he could access the threshold, and reaching minor proficiency might require thousands of batches even more.
Just relying on accumulated alchemy experience might need more than five simulations to achieve, so the cost-effectiveness was not high.
Therefore, Su Xing did not hesitate to say,
"I choose, the Origin Martial Realm Great Perfection cultivation and the Nascent Soul Stage Seventh Layer cultivation!"
[You have chosen to bring out the Origin Martial Realm Great Perfection cultivation, spending 3 million energy points, remaining energy 15,201,527 points.]
[You have chosen to bring out the Nascent Soul Stage Seventh Layer cultivation, spending 6 million points of energy, remaining energy 9,201,527 points.]
As Su Xing made his choices, he heard the prompt from the simulator in his ear.
Subsequently, two mysterious energies entered Su Xing's body.
The first thing Su Xing felt was a surge in strength and momentum throughout his body!
Origin Martial Realm Eighth Layer… Origin Martial Realm Ninth Layer… Origin Martial Realm Great Perfection!
In just a few minutes, Su Xing's Body Refinement Cultivation Level had climbed three levels, and he felt no discomfort whatsoever. This power seemed as if it was obtained through his own cultivation.
After the ascent in Body Refinement Cultivation Level, Su Xing's Qi Refining Cultivation also started to soar!
Nascent Soul Stage Second Layer… Nascent Soul Stage Fourth Layer… Nascent Soul Stage Sixth Layer!
Minutes passed again, and the aura on Su Xing continued to grow.
Finally, Nascent Soul Stage Seventh Layer!
A faint cracking sound seemed to echo in Su Xing's ears as he effortlessly entered the late phase of the Nascent Soul Stage!
Whether it was the Body Refinement Cultivation Level or the Qi Refining Cultivation, the bottleneck was not just in the breakthrough between major realms; often there were bottlenecks between minor realms as well, which could even trouble ordinary cultivators for years!
Like advancing from the early Nascent Soul Stage to the middle and late phases.
For Su Xing, however, his process of overcoming these bottlenecks occurred in the simulator, and he was supported by enough elixirs. As soon as the simulator confirmed the cultivation level, Su Xing could easily break through.
As for cultivating and breaking through bottlenecks in the real world?
Of course, that would be something only a fool would do, given that in the real world, if Su Xing just stayed alive to make money and then exchanged it for energy to enhance his cultivation level, how much faster would that be?
How could he not relish such rapid cultivation?
The surging momentum around Su Xing continued for several minutes.
During this time, Su Xing was seated cross-legged, constantly adjusting his inner breath, and it was only after a long time that he finally opened his eyes.
At this moment, the somewhat violent aura Su Xing had earlier was fully retracted, and he could better familiarize himself with his cultivation power. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"To think that the spiritual power in the late Nascent Soul Stage is so much stronger than when I first entered the Nascent Soul Stage…" Su Xing took a deep breath, feeling that the spiritual power inside his body had nearly doubled. He could mobilize his Origin Force more effortlessly, and the speed at which he recovered spiritual power had also increased significantly.
Previously, Su Xing's spiritual power was like a small river, but now this river had widened by twice as much, continuously evolving towards a mighty river!
Perhaps when Su Xing reached the Divinity Transformation Stage, the spiritual power within his body would undergo another transformation, becoming more profound and dense.
Before, using the Li Fire Technique might only have lasted for a few hours, but now Su Xing could even use it for a whole day and night with energy to spare.
"Hiss, the spiritual power of the late Nascent Soul Stage is already this strong, how terrifying must the Divinity Transformation Stage be?" Su Xing's eyes carried a hint of caution.
He thought of Damned Zong, who had lived for a thousand years at the Divinity Transformation Stage and whose cultivation might even be close to the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage.
"No… I still need to be even more cautious, with my current strength, I'm definitely no match for that Damned Zong!" Su Xing silently chanted "I am a weakling" three times in his heart, then his mindset became calm again.
But what Su Xing did not know was that although Damned Zong's cultivation level was at the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage, it was only a superior Golden Core, and his spiritual power wasn't as dense as Su Xing imagined.
Moreover, Damned Zong was already old, his strength not comparable to his prime.
What was truly troublesome were Damned Zong's ruthless combat experience and the various mysterious methods accumulated over a thousand years.
"And there's my Body Cultivation Level, Origin Martial Realm Great Perfection, plus the enhancement of hundreds of pounds of Demon Emperor Flesh Essence on my physique, just how terrifying is my strength now?"
Su Xing took a deep breath and glanced at the time; it was still afternoon outside. Maybe he could go to the training gym to test his strength in the middle of the night.
Thinking this, Su Xing skillfully took out the Pill Furnace and began Alchemy.
Soon, several hours passed. Taking advantage of the night when no one was around, Su Xing, after changing his appearance and concealing his breath, sneaked to the training gym to test his strength.
Tens of minutes later, Su Xing returned to the dormitory from the training gym, saw his roommate Fatty Yu still asleep, and excitement colored Su Xing's face.
"To think, that after reaching the peak of the Origin Martial Realm, my physical strength has actually reached a full five million catties?"
"Moreover, this is purely physical strength, if Origin Force were superimposed on top of it, how terrifying would that doubled strength be?"
Su Xing found it hard to imagine, and he did not continue testing in the training hall.
After all, the most advanced strength testing machines at Kyoto Academy could only withstand the peak strength of a Heavenly King level powerhouse, and should Su Xing use his Origin Force, he would definitely blast the strength-testing machine to smithereens!
And that would undoubtedly cause a sensation!
If a Grandmaster level strength machine blew up, it might be shrugged off as the work of some Heavenly King level powerhouse.
But if a Heavenly King level strength machine were to be destroyed, the resulting fuss would be huge.
After all, there are only a few dozen Martial Emperor level powerhouses in the entire country, each with a well-known name, and it would be easy to spot the anomaly.
"My current strength isn't enough; it wouldn't hurt to reveal myself to the world once I truly possess absolute power. But revealing myself too early now could even endanger my life..."
Su Xing comforted himself with these thoughts. Naturally, he wanted to show off in public, but upon reflection, he decided his life was more important.
If he really couldn't hold back, he'd go into the simulator for immersive simulation to satisfy his craving for admiration.
Su Xing thought to himself.
Just as he was about to leave the dorm and find a secluded corner, a voice suddenly came from Fatty Yu's bed.
"Little Xingzi, why are you taking so long to take a dump? I'm telling you, it's not good to get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night! You're so young, how come your kidneys are already like this..."
Su Xing was startled by Fatty Yu's voice. Was this guy still awake?
He hadn't been discovered, had he?
Su Xing watched Fatty Yu on the bed intently but saw him turn over and continue to snore and sleep. Su Xing then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good, this fatty must be talking in his sleep, right?"
Su Xing carefully left the dorm.
Re-entering the Spirit Field Blessed Land, Su Xing resumed his grueling alchemy work.
Day and night, when Su Xing tired of alchemy, he would meditate for an hour or two to regain his full energy.
Such is the advantage of a Cultivator; they can really push themselves to the limit!
Soon, a week passed. Su Xing prepared to deliver Elixirs to Jin Congxue and brought back more energy in return.
Just as he was about to leave, Su Xing received a text message from Jin Congxue in advance.
"Little Brother Su Xing, I have something to do today and can't have a meal with you. Just go to the room in the villa and find the butler. He will give you this week's goods."
Su Xing was stunned by the message and replied:
"What are you up to? (Puzzled.jpg)"
Jin Congxue immediately replied: "What? Are you worried that your sister has found a man on the side? (Playful.jpg)"
Su Xing: "..."
In the end, Jin Congxue said, "Alright, enough teasing! Weren't you the one who asked me last time to get you a high-quality sword weapon?"
"Guess what? You're in luck, little brother! The Tarot Commerce Association just happens to have a legendary sword weapon up for auction. I'm planning to go there to see if I can buy it early through connections. If not, we'll have to spend a fortune!"
Su Xing was just about to reply when Jin Congxue messaged again:
"Legendary weapons, they're not common at all! There are only a few circulating on the national market each month, and you can't buy them with money; it's mostly bartering..."
"Don't worry, I'm fully prepared this time. I guarantee that I'll bring that legendary weapon back for you!"
Reading Jin Congxue's message, Su Xing nodded slightly. Indeed, high-level equipment, weapons, or instance dungeon items were generally not available on the market, let alone auctioned to the public.
After all, such items are too precious. Even tens or hundreds of billions might not be enough to measure their value in money.
Thus, bartering is the most common method.
If you lack some equipment today and I happen to have it, and you have the item I need with a similar value, then why not just exchange?
This most primitive method of trading actually helps to protect the market order between ordinary people and lower-level professionals.
As for business owners worth tens or hundreds of billions, in Jin Congxue's words, that's just the entry ticket to that circle.
Thinking this, Su Xing quickly sent a thank-you emoticon and chatted with Jin Congxue for a while.
Afterward, Su Xing headed to the villa not far from the school. After handing the Elixirs to the butler, Su Xing brought back a new batch of goods.
In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, Su Xing converted the new goods into energy.
Su Xing was in luck this week; the equipment and instance dungeon items were worth nearly ten million points. As one could imagine, as the Tarot Commerce Association continued to grow, the energy provided to Su Xing would only increase.
After exchanging the goods for energy, Su Xing prepared to start simulating.
On the afternoon of April 15, 2024, of the New Era, Su Xing promptly started a new round of simulation.
"Begin simulation!"
[Ding! The simulation consumes 3200 points of energy, leaving 19,197,768 points remaining, unlimited simulation attempts left.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Drawing a green talent costs 1000 points of energy, blue talent costs 10,000 points of energy, and drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 points of energy. Will you draw?]
Su Xing rubbed his hands together, whispering a silent prayer for the blessing of the Mysterious Yellow Heavenly Venerate. The purple talents Su Xing drew in the past two attempts weren't that great, and this time Su Xing really hoped to draw a better one.
"Draw a purple talent!"
Soon, a pleasant notification sound rang in Su Xing's ear.
[Ding, congratulations! You have obtained the purple talent, Alchemy Prodigy!]
