Chapter 13: Simulating Again, Accumulating Spirit Stones!

[Longevity for a Century]: Green talent. You will live a life free of illness and pain, able to live until one hundred years old.

Su Xing: "..."

Seeing the new green talent he'd drawn, Su Xing immediately felt like he'd been screwed over.

God damn it, live until a hundred years old?

He was a Cultivator. Wouldn't living to only a hundred mean dying young?

Moreover, with the apocalypse coming in fifteen years, what good would it do to live a long life?

Su Xing sighed.

His original goal had been to try his luck and see if he could draw a green-quality Spiritual Root talent.

After all, in the last simulation, the elder had personally told him that his talent was inadequate, merely a Mixed Spirit Root.

If Su Xing's talent could improve further, he might be able to get better rewards.

"Alas, it's a pity. A thousand energy points wasted..."

Su Xing felt the pinch but chose to continue with the simulation.

[You received an order from a junior sister who's just started, you go out to do power-leveling for others.]

[For the next month, you diligently power-level every day, practicing your Cultivation in your spare time.]

[Your Qi Refining Cultivation level has risen to the fourth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.]

[On November 18, 2023 of the New Era, you set off for Jinling City.]

[The next day, you pretend to coincidentally meet Jin Congxue outside the city.]

[You repeat your old trick, asking Jin Congxue for Buddhist teachings and gaining the opportunity to travel with her.]

[You take a shortcut back to the city through a small path and accidentally discover the "Qingyun Spirit Field" instance.]

[You enter the "Qingyun Spirit Field" instance.]

[You accept the task from the elder in the instance, and you start farming.]

[Since you seriously crammed some farming knowledge, the Spirit Grains in your Spirit Field grew better than before.]

[In your spare time, you strive to improve your Cultivation level, teach Jin Congxue farming knowledge, and also channel Wood-attribute Spiritual Energy to help Jin Congxue farm.]

[Jin Congxue's fondness for you greatly increases, and you become good friends.]

[On the day the task is to be submitted, the elder gives Jin Congxue fifteen Spirit Stones, along with a reward of ten catties of Spirit Rice.]

[The elder asks you to place your hand on a transparent stone. After testing, your talent is still a Mixed Spirit Root.]

[The elder sighs and gives you thirty-five Spirit Stones, as well as thirty catties of Spirit Rice.]

[You're not disheartened and wish to take the elder as your master.]

[The elder gently shakes his head, bluntly saying your aptitude is too poor and a long life hopeless, and you are asked to leave the instance.]

[You stay in Jinling City for more than ten days, becoming as close as Guan and Bao with Jin Congxue.]

[You return to Kyoto and continue to start selling equipment.]

[Months later, Wang Qingxuan finds you, and you repeat your old trick.]

[Five years pass, and your business grows bigger and bigger, amassing a fortune of ten billion.]

[You keep the newly acquired thirty-five Spirit Stones and also keep ten catties of Spirit Rice.]

[In five years, your Qi Refining Cultivation reaches Great Perfection, and your Body Refinement Cultivation Level ascends to the first level of the Bone Forging Realm.]

[Wang Qingxuan finds you again and brings you the first half of the Changchun Technique, you refuse to accept it and ask her to help find the second half.]

[In the seventh year, your sister Su Nianan dies, and you attend her funeral.]

[In the tenth year, your good friend Yu Yan dies, and you attend his funeral.]

[In the eleventh year, the market fluctuates, and your net worth increases tenfold.]

[You find Jin Congxue. Over the years, you've never lost touch with her and you ask for those fifteen Spirit Stones, which she gives to you without any charge.]

[In the fifteenth year, gigantic beasts descend.]

[You give the giant beast the middle finger.]

[The giant beast swallows the entire Great Xia Country in one bite. You die, aged thirty-six!]

```

[You activated the talent "Death with Eyes Wide Open"…]

[Ding, the simulation has ended!]

[You may choose one of the following rewards: Longevity (Talent), Bone Forging Realm Second Layer (Cultivation Level), Qi Refinement Great Perfection (Cultivation Level), Fifty Spirit Stones (Item), Ten Jin of Spirit Rice (Item)]

Su Xing took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and looked at the rewards.

[Longevity]: Green talent, priced at 10,000 energy points.

[Bone Forging Realm Second Layer]: Cultivation level, priced at 2,000 energy points.

[Qi Refinement Great Perfection]: Cultivation level, priced at 900 energy points.

[Fifty Spirit Stones]: Item, priced at 50,000 energy points.

[Ten Jin of Spirit Rice]: Item, priced at 10,000 energy points.

Su Xing unhesitatingly chose the reward of fifty Spirit Stones, although spending 50,000 energy points made him feel quite pained, he deemed the Spirit Stones a must-have.

Afterward, Su Xing turned his attention to the description of the Spirit Rice.

[Spirit Rice]: Rice nourished by Spiritual Energy and Spiritual Springs, sweet and delicious, long-term consumption can improve constitution, enhance physical strength, and prolong life.

Upon seeing the introduction to Spirit Rice, Su Xing's face showed an expression of "just as I thought".

The reason he had been able to break through to the Bone Forging Realm originated from this Spirit Rice.

However, this time in the simulation he lost the Fitness Expert talent, so his simulated realm was not as good as before.

"It looks like the plan needs to change, it's not just Spirit Stones; I also have to accumulate some Spirit Rice…" Su Xing mused, narrowing his eyes.

"Doo doo doo~"

Just then, the ringtone of Su Xing's phone rang.

"Hello, Senior Su, do you have an appointment this afternoon? I would like to ask you to take us leveling!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xing nodded and said,

"Sure, call Wang Qingxuan as well, I'll take her to level up too!"

"Okay, Senior!"

Su Xing packed up and was ready to go out.

Soon, at the appointed place, he saw six or seven junior sisters dressed to impress.

And there was Wang Qingxuan, hiding behind the crowd, feeling somewhat inferior.

Wang Qingxuan stood in the farthest corner, occasionally stealing glances at Su Xing, her pretty face slightly flushed.

Su Xing pretended not to know and continued to farm monsters as usual.

During this time, Su Xing would occasionally call on Wang Qingxuan to join him in the dungeons when he was leveling others, even allowing her to owe him and pay him back later.

Naturally, the purpose was to maintain a good relationship with Wang Qingxuan, as her clue about the mysterious organization was key, being related to the latter half of the Changchun Technique, although Su Xing didn't have time to deal with it for now.

According to Su Xing's findings, Wang Qingxuan should not have been in contact with the mysterious organization yet, and her actual contact with the organization would likely be in ten months' time.

But that didn't affect Su Xing grinding for favorability! After all, it would come in handy one day.

Time flew by quickly, and a week had quietly passed.

Su Xing's income for that week was still just under half a million, all of which was converted by Su Xing into simulation energy.

New Era, October 28, 2023, Su Xing prepared for the simulation in his dorm room.

"Start the simulation!"

[You have used 800 energy points, with a remaining energy balance of 208,700 points, and unlimited simulations left.]

[Simulation begins!]

[Drawing a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1,000 energy points, do you want to draw?]

"Draw a green talent."

Su Xing was still hoping to try his luck, as a green-quality Spiritual Root talent was very important to him.

[Ding, congratulations on acquiring the green talent, Sword Dao Genius!]

(ps: To clarify a bit, the Qingyun Spirit Field dungeon, according to the information obtained by the protagonist, is a time-limited dungeon that will disappear after a month... Once the dungeon disappears, from the protagonist's perspective, there would be no other sources to obtain Spirit Stones and Spirit Rice, which makes it a top priority~)
