Chapter 17: The Last Simulation, Foundation Establishment Rank 9!

"I choose to bring out my talent, dual-type wood and fire Spiritual Root!"

[Ding, you have chosen to take the dual-type wood and fire Spiritual Root (green talent) back from the simulation, consuming 10,000 energy points, remaining energy 8040 points.]

[Ding, it has been detected that you already have a holder of the same type of white talent Spiritual Root, the wood and fire dual-type Spiritual Root talent will overwrite it.]

The blessing of the dual-type wood and fire Spiritual Root made Su Xing's five senses much sharper.

Su Xing took out a Spirit Stone for cultivation and could clearly feel the refreshing sensation when the Spiritual Energy entered his body.

"Huff... As expected of a dual-type Spiritual Root, the efficiency of cultivation is much higher than before!"

The corners of Su Xing's mouth lifted slightly, having this dual-type Spiritual Root meant that Su Xing could at least receive the special reward from the mysterious elder.

A bag of spirit seeds and the "Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique."

The Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, that's an Immortal Technique worth ten billion energy points!

Keep in mind that the half-set of Changchun Technique Su Xing had obtained before was only worth 3000 energy points.

This reflects the preciousness of the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique.

But at the same time, Su Xing also fell into deep thought.

The elder had a mysterious origin and possessed such precious Immortal Techniques, he must be a great power in the Cultivation World, and if Su Xing could take him as a master, he would definitely benefit greatly.

"The elder said I haven't yet completed his task, and my cultivation started too late... He didn't directly refuse to take me as a disciple."

"This means that there's a possibility for me to become his disciple!"

Su Xing raised his eyebrows slightly, a vague idea forming in his heart.

Now, Su Xing still had one more chance to simulate, and he could give it another try.

But before experimenting with this idea, Su Xing needed to accumulate more energy to support it.

"Alas, only a little over eight thousand energy points left, to bring back what I want... I still need to save up several thousand more points."

Although Su Xing had a cheat, the future looked promising. Yet, at present, he was just a lamentable brick mover.

After finishing his cultivation, Su Xing contacted a few younger female classmates to prepare for leveling in a dungeon.

In the following week, Su Xing's time was filled with monotonous cultivation and leveling in dungeons.

The good news was, after Su Xing broke through in his Qi Refining cultivation, he was able to level and collect equipment in dungeons more quickly.

The bad news was, Su Xing almost missed the plane to Jinling City.

Fortunately, in the end, Su Xing just barely made it.

On the afternoon of November 18, 2023, in the New Era, Su Xing boarded the plane to Jinling City.

Thousands of miles separate Kyoto from Jinling City, and Su Xing would be on the plane for four or five hours.

After boarding the plane, Su Xing closed his eyes to rest, but in reality, he was preparing for his last simulation before entering the "Qingyun Spirit Field" dungeon.

"Begin simulation!"

[Consuming 1100 energy points, remaining energy 13780 points, no more simulation chances remaining.]

[Simulation initiated!]

[Drawing a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1000 energy points, would you like to draw one?]

"Draw the white talent."

Su Xing chose the white talent, as his goal for this simulation was already set, which was to bring out cultivation. Spending another 1000 energy points to draw a green talent would be wasteful.

Energy points were incredibly precious, so Su Xing naturally wanted to spend them wisely.

The mysterious elder initially said that his entry into cultivation was too late, which clearly meant Su Xing's cultivation was too low. Perhaps, if Su Xing could enhance his cultivation a bit more, he would be able to pass the task assessment.

[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the white talent, Resolute Appearance!]

[Resolute Appearance]: You appear resolute and upright to others, making it easier to gain their trust.

Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this talent; while not terribly good or bad, it was still somewhat useful.

[On the plane, you realize that you are simulating. You take a short nap to relieve the fatigue from several days and nights of leveling for others.]

[That evening, you arrive in Jinling City, where you find a place outside the city to cultivate overnight.]

[The next day, you began looking for Jin Congxue's figure.]

[That evening, you encountered Jin Congxue, who was preparing to return to the city.]

[You told her you were lost, and seeing your determined expression and that you seemed like a good person, she invited you to return to the city with her.]

[Jin Congxue took you down a small path she often traveled, and soon you discovered the "Qingyun Spirit Field" instance.]

[You entered Qingyun Spirit Field instance.]

[You met a mysterious old man, who handed you the task of farming.]

[For the following week, you began to cultivate the fields, using Spiritual Energy to nourish the Spirit Grains. Since your Cultivation Level was at Qi Refinement fifth level, and your Spiritual Power was relatively pure, the Spirit Grains grew well.]

[In your spare time, you also helped Jin Congxue take care of the Spirit Field.]

[After one week, the mysterious old man handed out rewards to you.]

[The old man gave Jin Congxue thirty Spirit Stones and thirty jin of Spirit Rice, then sent her out of the instance.]

[The old man took out a stone that tested for aptitude, and you discovered you had a Dual-type Spiritual Root of wood and fire.]

[The old man nodded with a smile and rewarded you with a bag of spiritual seeds along with the Immortal Technique, Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique.]

[You wished to take the old man as your master, but he refused.]

[Not giving up, you asked him what the requirements were to become his disciple.]

[The old man sighed and said that while your talent was decent, your Cultivation Level was too low. Had you been a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, he might have considered taking you as a disciple.]

[You nodded and asked the old man if you could exchange the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique for a reward of Spirit Stones.]

[The old man furrowed his brows slightly, thinking you didn't recognize the true value, but still gave you a thousand Spirit Stones.]

Su Xing's face brightened as he murmured to himself,

"As I thought, it's because my Cultivation Level is too low... If I can show enough potential, perhaps I could be taken as a disciple by that mysterious old man!"

Su Xing continued to read on, his mood excited.

[You left the instance with Spirit Stones in hand.]

[A few days later, you returned to Kyoto University and began to diligently cultivate day and night.]

[Because you possessed a Dual-type Spiritual Root of wood and fire, your Cultivation Level advanced rapidly.]

[The second year, you broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage Level One, becoming a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.]

[The third year, your Cultivation Level broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage Level Two, and you had 1000 Spirit Stones left.]

[The fifth year, you successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage Level Four, with only 700 Spirit Stones remaining.]

[The seventh year, your Cultivation Level continued to improve, and you became a Foundation Establishment Stage Level Six Cultivator, with only 300 Spirit Stones left.]

[You realized that with your current rate of cultivation, your remaining Spirit Stones wouldn't be enough to support your rise to the Golden Core Stage.]

[So you began to stretch your Spirit Stones as far as they could go, converting them into Spiritual Power Cultivation as efficiently as possible.]

[That year, you attended the funeral of your younger sister, Su Nianan.]

[The eighth year, since you saved Spirit Stones, your Cultivation Level progressed slowly, and you were still at Foundation Establishment Stage Level Six.]

[The ninth year, you successfully advanced to become a Foundation Establishment Stage Level Seven Cultivator.]

[The tenth year, you attended the funeral of your close brother, Yu Yan.]

[The eleventh year, your Cultivation Level advanced to Foundation Establishment Stage Level Eight, and you had only 100 Spirit Stones left.]

[You remembered that Jin Congxue still had thirty Spirit Stones of yours, but over the years, engrossed in cultivation, you didn't keep in touch with her.]

[Therefore, you spent half a year frantically running instances, playing professional leveling services, and earning money.]

[Because of your outstanding abilities, Silver Level instances were a piece of cake for you, and you earned two hundred million in just half a year.]

[You found Jin Congxue, intending to use those two hundred million to buy her Spirit Stones.]

[Jin Congxue agreed, as those Spirit Stones were of little use to her.]

[With just 130 Spirit Stones left, you began to cultivate day and night, carefully managing the Spiritual Energy in every Spirit Stone.]

[In the fifteenth year, two months before the coming of the behemoths, you successfully broke through to Foundation Establishment Stage Level Nine!]
