Chapter 35: Third-class Treatment and Exploring the Cultivation-Centric Instances

Su Xing pondered for a moment, and given Lu Yuanwu's previous conduct, it was evident that he belonged to the righteous faction.

Moreover, Lu Yuanwu was Jin Congxue's maternal grandfather, creating a distant familial connection.

A notion sparked within Su Xing's mind, thus prompting him to continue the simulation.

"You presented several Refining Corporeal Pills to Lu Yuanwu, affirming these were elixirs personally formulated by you, suitable for practitioners above the Grandmaster level, enhancing their attribute points."

"Lu Yuanwu, with some skepticism, accepted the pills. He acknowledged the existence of certain items within the instances capable of enhancing attribute points. However, those items were excessively rare and incredibly precious. If these pills possessed the miraculous effects as claimed, you would make significant contributions. To be cautious, Lu Yuanwu took these pills back to the Da Xia military."

Unperturbed, based on prior results, Su Xing anticipated that consistent consumption of these Refining Corporeal Pills over half a year could augment a Grandmaster-level practitioner's physical qualities by as much as three to five tenths.

A month passed, and as Su Xing rested in his dormitory, the sound of helicopters filled the school's airspace.

Fully armed special forces troops descended from the helicopters, all of them practitioners above the Grandmaster level.

They advanced toward Su Xing's dormitory, with Lu Yuanwu among them.

Lu Yuanwu appeared somewhat excited. He instructed the soldiers to surround the entire dormitory, maintaining vigilance, and then escorted you onto a helicopter.

Su Xing surmised the purpose of Lu Yuanwu's visit. As expected, Lu Yuanwu explicitly mentioned the significance of your elixirs to the human race and inquired about the quantity available.

Over the years, Su Xing had amassed over a thousand refined Refining Corporeal Pills. However, he had no intention of relinquishing them all at once. Furthermore, his proficiency in crafting these pills had significantly improved. He could produce an average of about ten pills in roughly three hours per day.

Hence, he conservatively stated that he could supply Lu Yuanwu with fifty Refining Corporeal Pills per week.

Lu Yuanwu was ecstatic upon hearing this. Fifty pills a week amounted to two hundred in a month! According to the military's internal experts, an average of five pills could potentially enhance a Grandmaster-level practitioner's strength by fifty percent. This meant they had a high probability of conquering instances at the Grandmaster level, becoming practitioners of that tier!

Su Xing providing two hundred pills in a month implied the creation of two hundred Grandmaster-level powerhouses every five months! This was a substantial boost to the Da Xia military and even to the entire human race!

Lu Yuanwu solemnly offered Su Xing the third-class treatment within Da Xia, exclusively contingent upon his continued supply of Refining Corporeal Pills.

Su Xing inquired about the benefits of this third-class treatment. Lu Yuanwu informed him that merely a few hundred people in the entire Da Xia nation enjoyed such status, and even he held a second-class treatment.

Curious about the advantages of this treatment, Su Xing found himself inclined to agree.

He consented to Lu Yuanwu's request, eliciting immense joy from Lu Yuanwu. Lu Yuanwu proposed that, as a juvenile prodigy, Su Xing could reside within the military area with absolute security guaranteed. However, Su Xing disliked the feeling of restriction and opted to continue living at Jiangnan University. Lu Yuanwu acceded to this request and assigned two Heavenly King-level experts to covertly ensure Su Xing's safety round the clock, also assuring that any requests Su Xing made would be addressed.

Su Xing deliberated and compiled a list of frequently used alchemical materials, requesting items of extended vintage such as hundred-year-old ginseng, hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, and over twenty-year-old Polygonatum. These materials, while ordinary in nature, would absorb spiritual energy more rapidly when cultivated in the spiritual fields, maturing into spiritual herbs.

Lu Yuanwu received the list and dispatched guards to retrieve the items directly from the military's arsenal. In a brief half-day, all the listed materials were collected and handed over to Su Xing.

Su Xing then inquired if Lu Yuanwu knew of instances pertaining to cultivation. Lu Yuanwu nodded, mentioning his acquaintance with such instances. Su Xing, thrilled, eagerly asked for details, and promptly, Lu Yuanwu gathered information regarding these cultivation-centric instances and handed them over.

Su Xing was momentarily stunned upon seeing this information, then his face lit up with excitement.

As he had expected, instances related to cultivation were not limited to just the 'Spiritual Field.' The previously mentioned Qingyun Sect and Qingyun Realm proposed by Qingyunzi served as undeniable proof.

Su Xing took a deep breath and silently recited in his mind, "Activate Immersive Simulation Function!"

"Ding, activating the immersive simulation function. Consumption: 100,000 energy points for one hour. Proceed?"

Su Xing pursed his lips at this. One hundred thousand points for an hour seemed excessively steep. However, the immersive simulation appeared to hold genuine value.

According to the updated description on the simulator, the immersive simulation allowed full immersion in the simulated environment without any life-threatening risks.

Even if it was just for an hour, Su Xing could completely memorize all the information regarding these instances during that time.

"Confirm usage!"

"Ding, you've expended 100,000 energy points to select the immersive simulation for one hour. Remaining energy: 407,000 points…"

As the prompt echoed in Su Xing's mind, he felt a whirl within his vision.

The next moment, Su Xing found himself in his dormitory. He scrutinized himself in the mirror and noticed a drastic change in appearance. Additionally, there were no roommates present; it seemed like he occupied the dormitory alone.

Moreover, in his hand lay a document labeled "Top Secret."

"So, this is the immersive simulation? Truly… it feels identical to real experience!"

Excited, Su Xing couldn't wait to peruse the information within the document.

However, as soon as he opened the first page, a line in red warned him:

"Caution! Extreme Danger in Cultivation-Centric Instances! Not recommended for practitioners below the Grandmaster level to explore. These instances might contain NPCs resembling 'Legendary' or even 'Saint-tier' beings. We advise exploration with a team comprising at least five Heavenly King-level or higher practitioners, led by a Martial Emperor-level powerhouse!"

A thunderous opening!

As Su Xing read this, he comprehended that the cultivation-centric instances might not be as straightforward as he had presumed!
