Chapter 14: Green Talent, Face Like Edison Chen!
[Talent for Sword Dao]: Green talent, you have a natural understanding of swords that surpasses that of ordinary people. You have great aptitude in the way of the sword.
Su Xing saw this talent and frowned slightly, sighing:
"What a pity. Talent for Sword Dao is a good talent... but it doesn't have much use for me at the moment."
Su Xing's immediate priority was to improve his Spiritual Root qualifications or accumulate more cultivation resources.
[In the dormitory, you took out a Spirit Stone and began cultivating.]
[You knew that the Qingyun Spirit Field instance would open in more than twenty days, so you spent most of your time cultivating and learning farming knowledge.]
[After twenty days, your cultivation level barely broke through to Qi Refinement fourth layer.]
[On November 18, you set out for Jinling City.]
[The next day, you ran into Jin Congxue by chance. Through your efforts, you both successfully found the Qingyun Spirit Field instance.]
[You both entered the Qingyun Spirit Field instance.]
[You picked up the farming task, and as usual, you took farming seriously, helping Jin Congxue with her farming during your free time.]
[A week later, the elder issued task rewards to you both.]
[You received 40 Spirit Stones and 40 catties of Spirit Rice as a reward.]
[You asked the elder if you could exchange the Spirit Stones for Spirit Rice.]
[The elder agreed, and you received eighty catties of Spirit Rice.]
[You left the instance and stayed in Jinling City for a few days before returning to Kyoto.]
[You resumed your old business of selling equipment and continued to accumulate capital.]
[You focused more on improving your Qi Refining Cultivation, not using any of the eighty catties of Spirit Rice.]
[Five years later, you were expelled from school. By this time, you were a billionaire, and with an ample supply of Spirit Stones, your cultivation level had risen to the Great Perfection of Qi Refinement.]
[In the seventh year, your sister died, and you attended her funeral.]
[In the tenth year, Fatty Yu died, and you attended his funeral.]
[In the eleventh year, market fluctuations caused your net worth to increase tenfold.]
[In the fifteenth year, a month before the beast invasion, your cultivation level broke through.]
[You successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, with a lifespan of two hundred years.]
[A month later, the beast invasion occurred.]
[You flipped the beast the bird...]
[You died at the age of thirty-six.]
[You triggered the talent Restless in Death...]
[Ding, the simulation has ended!]
[You may choose one of the following rewards: Talent for Sword Dao (Talent), Foundation Establishment first layer (Cultivation Level), eighty catties of Spirit Rice (Item)]
[Talent for Sword Dao]: Green talent, priced at 10,000 points of energy.]
[Foundation Establishment first layer]: Cultivation Level, priced at 1,000 points of energy.]
[Eighty catties of Spirit Rice]: Item, priced at 80,000 points of energy.]
Su Xing did not hesitate for long and chose the reward of eighty catties of Spirit Rice.
Su Xing's simulated energy immediately dropped by more than half, leaving just over 120,000 points.]
But at the same time, a bag of Spirit Rice appeared in Su Xing's hand.
The Spirit Rice was crystal clear, with each grain distinct, and every grain was as warm and full as white jade.
Su Xing picked up a grain of Spirit Rice and tasted it raw.
The taste was not as bitter as he had imagined; in fact, it was three times better than cooked rice from the mortal world.
At the same time, a thin strand of Spiritual Energy entered Su Xing's body, improving his physique.
He reluctantly put away the bag of Spirit Rice after tasting just one grain.
Although Spirit Rice was delicious, consuming it now would be akin to drinking poison to quench thirst—cutting off his future prospects.
Only by using it in the simulator and then purchasing cultivation levels at a low price could Su Xing maximize its use.
"Indeed, even with the talent of a Mixed Spirit Root of the Five Elements, as long as you have enough Spirit Stones, you can break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm!"
Su Xing's heart was filled with a vague sense of excitement; breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm would greatly increase his strength.
But for now, Su Xing could not bring cultivation levels back from the simulator, as he needed to accumulate enough Spirit Stones.
Only with enough Spirit Stones could he gain greater progress in the simulator.
The only thing Su Xing regretted was that the green talent, Talent for Sword Dao, was excellent but had to be temporarily set aside.
"I can only hope to draw it again in the future..."
Su Xing took out a Spirit Stone and began cultivating.
He had ninety-two and a half Spirit Stones on hand, so using one or two was not a problem.
More importantly, Su Xing realized that if he did not start cultivating now, he might still be at the first layer of Qi Refinement when he entered the Qingyun Spirit Field instance.
Since the farming speed with a first-layer Qi Refinement cultivation level was obviously too slow, Su Xing had to ensure that his cultivation level was at least at the fourth layer of Qi Refinement at that time to gain more rewards.
Over the next week, Su Xing dedicated most of his energy to improving his cultivation level and learning farming knowledge.
Of course, he occasionally took some freshmen to the instances for leveling, maintaining his livelihood.}
In a week, Su Xing used up half a Spirit Stone, successfully raising his cultivation level to the second layer of Qi Refinement.
New Era, November 4, 2023.
On this day, Su Xing began his ninth simulation.
"Begin simulation!"
[Consumption of 900 points of energy, remaining energy 120,000 points, remaining simulation times unlimited.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Drawing white talent costs 100 points of energy, green talent costs 1,000 points of energy, draw?]
"Draw green talent"
Su Xing took a deep breath. Including this time, he had only three chances left to draw a green talent related to Spiritual Roots before the Qingyun Spirit Field instance opened.
[Ding, congratulations on acquiring the green talent, Face of an Idol!]
[Face of an Idol]: Your appearance is extraordinarily attractive to others, greatly increasing your appeal to the opposite sex, while also significantly improving your talent in photography.]
Su Xing: "..."
Damn it, what use is this talent to me!
This is a Cultivation world! It's not some urban strategy game!
Su Xing couldn't help but sigh.}
[In the dormitory, you couldn't help but glance at yourself in the mirror, and you were stunned by your own handsomeness.]
[That afternoon, you took some freshmen girls to the instance for leveling. The girls were distracted during leveling, always sneaking glances at you.]
[Among them, Wang Qingxuan glanced at you two hundred seventy-eight times in one afternoon.]
[In the following days, you received numerous invitations from freshmen girls asking you to take them to the instance. Even some girls from the sophomore year wanted you to take them to the instance.]
[Feeling quite annoyed, you refused all their requests.]
[During meals at the cafeteria, female students asked for your WeChat.]
[There were even talent scouts inviting you to debut, offering a handsome fee.]
[You were completely immersed in cultivation and successfully cultivated to the fourth layer of Qi Refinement within the next few days.]
New Era, November 18, 2023,]
[On this day, you headed to Jinling City.]
[On the plane, a flight attendant asked for your WeChat and even gave you a glass of orange juice.]
[You arrived in Jinling City. The next day, you ran into Jin Congxue outside Jinling City.]
[Jin Congxue seemed stunned when she saw you, then her cheeks reddened. She subconsciously turned her head away, not daring to meet your eyes.]
[You took the opportunity to ask Jin Congxue for directions. She led you through a shortcut, and you both came across the Qingyun Spirit Field instance.]
[You successfully entered the Qingyun Spirit Field instance.]
