Cultivation Soars! Fourth Grade Alchemist!

"System, I choose ① and ②."

Looking at the rewards page, Wang Ping left the room and finally made his decision, speaking in his heart.

As Wang Ping spoke, he felt a swelling pain in his head. Then, a flood of memories appeared in his mind.

It was as though he had personally experienced every part of learning alchemy. It was incredibly mysterious, carrying a sense of time and space being thrown into disarray.

Who knew how long passed? When Wang Ping came to, he discovered that night had long since fallen, and Chi Feng was already snoring away in bed.

"This feeling really is wondrous."

Wang Ping let out a soft breath and muttered to himself.

It had been the same last time. He had lost all sense of time, immersing himself in those memories as though he had personally lived through that lifetime.

However, compared to the time spent living through that lifetime, the few vanished hours were nothing worth mentioning.

Clearly, the system had resolved the issue of time passing as well.

"I'm now a Fourth Grade Alchemist. As long as I have enough materials, I won't have to worry about Spirit Stones anymore. At least, not for now."

Wang Ping's eyes flickered as flames rose in his palm. He was immensely satisfied.

However, when Wang Ping considered the ever-increasing Spirit Stone consumption and how scarce Spirit Stones were in Great Xia, he also understood clearly that as the number of simulations increased, the day would eventually come when all the Low-Grade Spirit Stones in Great Xia combined would not be enough for him to simulate even once more.

Not to mention, there was no way he could gather every Spirit Stone in Great Xia in the first place.

"Before the Spirit Stones I earn can no longer support a new simulation, I must become powerful enough. Innate Realm Ninth Level is still far from enough. I must reach Spirit Origin Realm Great Perfection, or even the Transcendent Realm."

Wang Ping thought to himself.

At that moment, Wang Ping felt another vast surge of power emerge within his body.

At the same time, large amounts of foul impurities were expelled from his body. They were all impurities within the human body, giving off a revolting stench.

In response, Wang Ping took a bath and washed away the filth covering his body.

"Innate Realm Ninth Level really is powerful. With such cultivation, even if my cultivation method, martial arts, and combat experience are all rather ordinary, I should still be able to crush cultivators below Innate Realm Seventh Level through realm alone."

Wang Ping spread open his palm, and a mass of pure Innate True Qi emerged within it as he muttered to himself.

Afterward, Wang Ping returned to the room. Rather than starting a new simulation, he looked at Chi Feng, who was snoring away and occasionally scratching his backside, and fell into thought.

He remembered that when he had first met Chi Feng, he seemed to have seen flames surge in Chi Feng's eyes.

He had initially thought it was an illusion, but it seemed that was not the case.

The people of Chi Village were Spirit Clan members. They all cultivated fire-element cultivation methods and martial arts. Coupled with the flames in Chi Feng's eyes, Wang Ping could basically conclude that the Chi Family's Spirit Embryo Realm Old Ancestor was likely a fire-attributed powerhouse who had condensed a physique like the Fire Spirit Body.

"The bloodline of Chi Village's people is not apparent, but Chi Feng may be an exception. He may be showing signs of ancestral bloodline reversion. If guided correctly, he may very well awaken a Fire Spirit Body."

A sharp glint appeared in Wang Ping's eyes as he analyzed the matter inwardly.

With twenty years of alchemy experience, he had naturally read through quite a few ancient texts and had conducted some research into spirit bodies.

According to legend, spirit bodies were exceedingly mysterious, and some spirit bodies were innate.

Innate spirit bodies required no awakening.

Among the Spirit Clan descendants bred by Spirit Embryo Realm powerhouses, those of the direct bloodline had the greatest chance of being born with spirit bodies, and they likewise required no awakening.

However, as the bloodline gradually thinned, the chances of descendants being born with spirit bodies would steadily decline. Even if some people experienced ancestral bloodline reversion and possessed spirit bodies, they would merely have Latent Spirit Bodies that required special methods to guide their awakening.

The three most common methods were:

In terms of pills, there was the Fourth Grade Pill—Spirit Attraction Pill. It was suitable for the vast majority of spirit bodies.

In terms of precious medicines, different spirit bodies required different precious medicines, but none would be below Fourth Grade.

In terms of cultivation methods, special cultivation methods were needed—exclusive Spirit Clan cultivation methods. These were all created by Spirit Clan Old Ancestors for their descendants based on their own bloodlines.

"I wonder, if Chi Feng awakens a Fire Spirit Body, can he break through the Bloodline Curse and advance beyond the Innate Realm?"

Wang Ping pondered quietly.

He could not remain in Chi Village forever. After helping Chi Village resolve its troubles, he would leave sooner or later.

When that time came, the people of Chi Village would undoubtedly need to protect themselves.

But the bloodline of Chi Village's people had been cursed, preventing them from breaking through to realms above the Innate Realm.

Without reaching the Spirit Origin Realm, they would ultimately lack the strength to protect themselves in Great Xia.

Therefore, if Chi Feng could awaken a Fire Spirit Body, break through the Bloodline Curse, and grow to the Spirit Origin Realm, that would undoubtedly be the best outcome.

However, it would most likely be difficult to achieve.

Perhaps taming a Seventh-Level Demon Beast to protect Chi Village, or to give them the ability to take revenge, would be the best choice.

"Come to think of it, I can also start with cultivation methods. I'll probe through a simulation later and see whether the Village Chief has any special cultivation methods left behind by the Old Ancestor. Of course, he most likely doesn't. If he did, the people of Chi Village wouldn't be cultivating the Profound Rank Middle Grade Fire Spirit Art."

Wang Ping shook his head slightly.

Although the Fire Spirit Art seemed well suited to the Fire Spirit Body, a special cultivation method personally created by a Spirit Embryo Realm Old Ancestor for his own Spirit Clan to cultivate would have to be at least Earth Grade or above.

Profound Rank Middle Grade was far too weak.

"System, I want to begin a new simulation."

Then Wang Ping silently spoke in his heart.

"Ding! This simulation will cost 128 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Would you like to spend them immediately?"

The system's voice rang out.

At that, Wang Ping's face twitched, his teeth aching.

This doubling increase was really getting too hard to bear.

He had 283 Low-Grade Spirit Stones left. This simulation required 128 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and after spending them, he would have only 155 left.

The next simulation would double again, requiring 256 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. He was far short of enough spirit stones for another simulation.

However, the Life Simulator was his Golden Finger. He could not simply choose not to simulate, so he could only resign himself to it.

"Spend them." Wang Ping said, rubbing his brow.

This was probably his last paid simulation for a while. Hopefully, it would refresh some powerful talents.

"Ding! The Life Simulator has been activated. Refreshing talents."

The system's voice rang out, making Wang Ping's spirits jolt.

"Ding! Talent refresh successful. Congratulations to the host for refreshing White Talent: Dressed Plainly; White Talent: Jinx; Green Talent: Beast Taming Expert."

The system's voice rang out again, and Wang Ping's eyes lit up.

His luck was pretty good this time. It had actually refreshed three talents at once, and one of them was even a Green Talent.

Still, this White Talent, Jinx, seemed rather bizarre.

Feeling somewhat conflicted, Wang Ping looked over the talent descriptions.

White Talent: Dressed Plainly: When the host is dressed plainly, their mind will become tranquil, making cultivation more beneficial.

White Talent: Jinx: Those around you will become unlucky when they are with you.

Green Talent: Beast Taming Expert: The host will possess considerable talent in nurturing and training demonic beasts.
