Immortal Art, Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique!

The spiritual energy in the Dungeon was abundant. You took a deep breath and felt every cell in your body cry out in delight.

You and Jin Congxue walked toward the Thatched Cottage in the distance. After knocking on the door, an elder with a Child-like Face and Crane-like Hair appeared.

The elder praised you as people blessed with great fortune and assigned you the task of cultivating Spirit Fields.

You and Jin Congxue each received a Spirit Field and prepared to farm it.

Because your cultivation had broken through to the Qi Refinement Fifth Layer, the spiritual energy within you was more abundant, and the crops in your Spirit Field grew exceptionally well.

In your spare time, you taught Jin Congxue about farming and helped her ripen Spirit Grain.

You and Jin Congxue gradually became friends.

On the day the task was due, the elder rewarded Jin Congxue with twenty Spirit Stones and twenty jin of Spirit Rice.

After Jin Congxue left the Dungeon, the elder called you aside alone.

The elder took out an Aptitude Testing Stone and had you place your hand on it.

You placed your hand on it, and green and red lights flickered across the stone.

The elder smiled and nodded, praising your exceptional aptitude and saying that you had hope of embarking on the path of immortality.

The elder took out a Jade Slip and a bag of seeds and handed them to you. He said your Wood Attribute spiritual energy was highly suited for cultivating Spirit Fields, and that if you learned a Fire Attribute cultivation method, you might have a chance to embark on the Way of Alchemy.

You did not accept the elder's reward. Instead, you wanted to take him as your master.

The elder shook his head slightly after hearing this. He said you had not completed his task, and that you had begun cultivation too late, having missed the best age for pursuing immortality.

Left with no choice, you accepted the Jade Slip and those Spirit Seeds before leaving the Dungeon.

You stayed in Jinling City for several days and became close friends with Jin Congxue.

Several days later, you returned to Kyoto Vocational University and began studying the Jade Slip and the seeds the elder had given you.

You poured spiritual energy into the Jade Slip and learned that it recorded an immortal art called the "Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique." The "Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique" contained methods for cultivating thousands of spiritual plants and their wondrous uses, as well as thirteen Minor Spells for cultivating spiritual plants.

You studied it for several months but still failed to grasp even the basics. You came to understand more and more just how extraordinary the "Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique" was.

In the days that followed, you studied this immortal art while cultivating.

A year passed, and your Qi Cultivation broke through to the Foundation Establishment First Layer.

You gained a slight understanding of the "Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique" and learned how to grow Spirit Grain.

In the second year, you voluntarily dropped out of school, left Kyoto City, and returned to your rural hometown.

Using your meager savings, you leased a stretch of mountain land in the countryside. You believed the air deep in the mountains was fresher and better suited to growing spiritual plants.

You reclaimed two mu of Barren Field and began planting Spirit Grain.

You attempted to learn the Minor Spirit Gathering Array among the thirteen Minor Spells of the "Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique," hoping to turn those two mu of fertile land into Spirit Fields.

You failed and did not learn the Minor Spirit Gathering Array.

With no alternative, you settled for the next best thing and buried Spirit Stones in the fertile fields, slowly improving the soil that way.

Soon, three years had passed.

In the fifth year, through your diligent cultivation, the mountain land was gradually nurtured into Spirit Fields. However, maintaining them required ten Spirit Stones every month, which pained you greatly.

The Spirit Fields were of poor quality, so the Spirit Grain they produced varied greatly in quality. Still, it could yield quite a bit of Spirit Rice.

In the sixth year, you harvested the Spirit Grain from the two mu of fields and processed it into Spirit Rice, obtaining one thousand jin of Inferior Spirit Rice.

Though this Spirit Rice was only inferior-grade, it could still help you break through in cultivation.

You cultivated diligently for a year, consuming over a hundred jin of Spirit Rice, and your Body Tempering Cultivation successfully broke through to the Bone Forging Stage.

In the seventh year, you attended your younger sister Su Nian'an's funeral.

Not long after the funeral, you returned to the mountain and continued cultivating Spirit Fields, like an old farmer in the hills.

Every day, you carried a hoe, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. You often studied immortal arts so intensely that you forgot to eat and sleep.

In the eighth year, the number of Spirit Stones in your possession dwindled until only a dozen or so remained.

You tried burying the husks of Spirit Grain in the Spirit Fields to preserve the spiritual energy in the soil, but the results were minimal.

You reduced the two mu of fields to half a mu and only occasionally spent a Spirit Stone to replenish the Spirit Field's spiritual energy.

Your skill in cultivating spiritual plants rapidly improved, and you gained a slight understanding of the Small Spirit Gathering Formation.

In the tenth year, you attended Yu Yan's funeral.

After attending the funeral, you did not hurry back. Instead, you went to find Jin Congxue.

You traded one hundred jin of inferior-grade Spirit Rice to her for twenty Spirit Stones.

Jin Congxue wanted you to stay, but your heart was set on farming. After lingering together for several days, you still returned to your hometown.

Another five years passed in the blink of an eye, bringing you to the fifteenth year.

Over those five years, you learned how to cultivate Spirit Grain and several spiritual medicines. Through your unremitting efforts, you finally mastered the basics of the Small Spirit Gathering Formation.

Because you had eaten Spirit Rice day and night over the years and tempered your physique, your Qi Cultivation broke through to the Foundation Establishment Third Layer, while your Body Tempering Cultivation broke through to the Bone Forging Seventh Layer.

One day, while planting in the fields, you noticed the sky growing dark.

You raised your head and saw that Giant Beast blotting out the sky and sun.

You raised your middle finger at the Giant Beast, the hope in your eyes still unextinguished.

You died!

You activated the Talent Die With Grievance...

Ding, this simulation has ended!

You may choose one of the following rewards: Wood-Fire Dual Spiritual Root (Talent), Foundation Establishment Third Layer (cultivation), Bone Forging Realm Seventh Level (cultivation), "Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique" (immortal art), fifty jin of inferior-grade Spirit Rice (item), Farming Insights from Simulation (insight)

Wood-Fire Dual Spiritual Root: Green Talent, price: 10,000 Energy Points.

Foundation Establishment Third Layer: cultivation, price: 2,700 Energy Points.

Bone Forging Realm Seventh Level: cultivation, price: 7,500 Energy Points.

Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique: immortal art, price: 1 billion Energy Points.

Fifty jin of inferior-grade Spirit Rice: item, price: 25,000 Energy Points.

Farming Insights from Simulation: insight, price: 10,000 Energy Points.

After remaining silent for a long time, Su Xing finally snapped out of this simulation and muttered:

"This simulation... was truly full of rewards!"

It could be said that in this simulation, Su Xing had taken a path completely different from his previous pursuit of wealth.

Within the Simulator, he had completely turned into a farming fanatic, crazily cultivating spiritual plants. This had opened up a new path for Su Xing.

What Su Xing found even more unbelievable was that he had actually obtained an immortal art in this Dungeon: the Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique!

Although it was not a cultivation method or divine ability that directly increased his strength, this Spirit Nurturing Technique was extraordinarily precious to Su Xing.

Previously, Su Xing had only spiritual energy and mana, but no Spells and Divine Abilities.

This Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique was clearly extraordinarily valuable. The cost to bring it out was even as high as one billion Energy Points.

"This Spirit Nurturing Technique is far too expensive, but the more expensive it is... the more it proves how powerful this spell is!"

Su Xing thought to himself.

Moreover, what surprised Su Xing even more was that an entirely new type of reward had appeared in this simulation: insight!

This meant that Su Xing could spend a great deal of time learning a particular spell, then bring the insight gained from the simulation back with him. That would save him a great deal of time in comprehending spells.

"In the end, I still have to choose it this time!"

The corners of Su Xing's mouth curled up slightly.
