Chapter 46: The Mystery of the Cultivator, the Bold Dragon Guardian!

Chapter 46: The Mystery of the Cultivator, The Dragon Guardian Acts Sternly!

Su Xing also wanted to explore the secret behind that sect's elder, but unfortunately, it seemed there wouldn't be much opportunity in this simulation. He could only try again in the next simulation.

Taking the Condensation Dan Technique in hand, Su Xing then wandered around the treasure trove's area of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

This exploration left Su Xing greatly astonished, unable to take his eyes off the shelves.

"Hundred-year Blood Ginseng... the primary material for refining Blood-Boosting Pills. Hiss, they actually have such good stuff?"

"Fifty-year Resurrection Grass... the primary material for refining Resurrection Pills. One piece could restore the vitality of a dying person!"

"There's also the two-hundred-year Dragon Kite Grass, five-hundred-year Zishen Flower... Mother, is this treasure trove actually a medicine garden belonging to a sect?"

Su Xing found it hard to imagine. With his exceptional alchemy skills and knowledge of discerning spiritual medicines from the Godly Farmer's Spirit Cultivation Art, he effortlessly identified the names of most spiritual medicines.

These spiritual medicines were extremely precious, with a complete range from hundreds of years old to a dozen or so years old, and in great quantity. There were probably tens of thousands of spiritual medicines within this treasure trove.

"Mother, how many pills could be refined with these?"

Su Xing felt envious. To grow these medicines and spiritual stones in his Spirit Field, it would take at least several hundred years.

But now, all these spiritual medicines were laid out in front of Su Xing...

Most importantly, within the Descent Sect, only Su Xing could utilize the properties of these herbs, which meant these spiritual medicines were practically exclusive to Su Xing!

Although the pills Su Xing refined could only be used by members of the Descent Sect, the alchemy techniques he mastered while refining them were solid skills left behind.

In other words, the Descent Sect was essentially a sacred ground for Su Xing to accumulate alchemy experience!

Struggling, Su Xing tore his gaze away from the spiritual medicines and said to the Elder Shadow nearby, "The spiritual medicines in your Descent Sect's treasure trove are truly comprehensive. I've had a real feast for my eyes!"

Upon hearing this, the Elder Shadow patted Su Xing's shoulder, correcting him, "It's our Descent Sect! The Elder of Medicines is now our eighteenth elder! Moreover, within our entire sect, you're the only alchemist. As long as you need them, you can use them as you wish!"

Pausing for a moment, the Elder Shadow added, "Of course, this is because the heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the treasure trove are mostly managed by our natural faction, which is why we have such great authority over them!"

Su Xing widened his eyes upon hearing this, excitedly saying, "Is that true? In fact, I can refine several decent pills... I've just been struggling due to a lack of medicinal herbs!"

Upon hearing Su Xing's words, the Elder Shadow also became excited, quickly saying, "The spiritual medicines in the treasure trove can be freely used by the Elder of Medicines. Just make sure to register when taking them out!"

"Moreover, the pills you refine need to be turned in to the sect... Of course, the Elder of Medicines can also obtain a portion of the pills and a large number of contribution points!"

Su Xing nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. As long as he could gain alchemy experience while refining pills, having such abundant herbs in each simulation would probably elevate his alchemy skills from the novice level to a moderate level in just a few rounds of simulations.

By then, Su Xing might even attempt to refine intermediate-grade pills!

Low-grade pills like the Vitality-Preserving Pill, Essence-Preserving Pill, and Flesh-Refining Pill all had such effects, not to mention intermediate-grade pills, which would undoubtedly significantly boost Su Xing's cultivation speed!

And... the most crucial point was that these people in the Descent Sect knew nothing about alchemy!

He could simply ask for however many pills he needed. If he asked for a hundred spiritual medicines and only used ten, he could keep the remaining ninety for himself. Wouldn't that be delightful?

That's how Su Xing thought, and that's how he acted.

He immediately requested over a hundred spiritual medicines from the Guardian Dragon, stating that with these herbs, he could refine new pills for the sect within six months.

Naturally, the Guardian Dragon wouldn't refuse and readily agreed to Su Xing's request.

As they were leaving the sect's treasure trove, the Guardian Dragon said to Su Xing, "Elder of Medicines, hand over the Condensation Dan Technique and the medicinal herbs you obtained to the Dragon Guardian for registration..."

Su Xing nodded at the words and then presented what he had brought out to the Dragon Guardian.

When the Dragon Guardian saw the Condensation Dan Technique, a trace of surprise flashed across his ancient, tranquil face, and he asked, "You're a cultivator?"

Su Xing's heart skipped a beat and he hastily explained, "My profession is that of a cultivator, but I don't have any cultivation level... I just want this alchemy technique to study alchemy!"

The Dragon Guardian furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing this, then pulled Su Xing over, placing his hand on Su Xing's pulse.

Soon after, the Dragon Guardian's expression changed drastically and he exclaimed, "No, you're a cultivator at the Golden Core stage! Who are you exactly? How, in this era of decline, can you still cultivate to the Golden Core stage?"

"Where did you get your spiritual resources and spirit stones?"

Seeing the Dragon Guardian's intense reaction, the nearby Elder Shadow hurriedly explained, "Dragon Guardian, have you misunderstood something? How could the Elder of Medicines be a Golden Core cultivator? He doesn't even have any spirit stones..."

The Dragon Guardian snorted at the words, extending a bony, withered hand toward Su Xing.

Su Xing was shocked. This Dragon Guardian could actually discern his cultivation level...

It should be noted that ordinary professionals couldn't see Su Xing's cultivation level; their insight abilities could only detect Su Xing's Bronze-level profession.

And the only ones who could probe Su Xing's cultivation level were cultivators!

This Dragon Elder was a cultivator?

Moreover, an extremely powerful one!

Su Xing's mind raced with a thousand thoughts, but the Dragon Elder's hand seemed to emit a mysterious light.

At that moment, a notification sound from the system rang in Su Xing's ears.

[Ding, immersive simulation ended...]

As the notification sounded, Su Xing's consciousness instantly returned to the real world.

Su Xing hurriedly checked the simulator, wanting to know who exactly this Dragon Elder was.

[Inside the Descent Sect's treasure trove, the Dragon Guardian probed your soul. The simulator automatically blocked the memories related to the simulator in your mind.]

[During the soul probe by the Dragon Guardian, he learned that you're not genuinely interested in joining the Descent Sect, but he doesn't seem to care about it.]

[Due to the memory modification, in the Dragon Guardian's eyes, you're just a lucky fellow who happened to obtain a small number of spirit stones and cultivation techniques.]

[Your soul was probed for a full ten minutes. After the soul probe ended, you became a vegetable.]

[Seeing you in a dazed and drooling state, the Dragon Guardian, feeling displeased, turned you into a pile of rubble with a single palm.]

[You're dead!]

[Ding, simulation ended!]
