The Final Simulation, Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer!

The Final Simulation, Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer!

"I choose to bring back the talent, Wood-Fire Dual Spiritual Root!"

Ding! You chose to bring back the Wood-Fire Dual Spiritual Root (Green Talent), consuming 10,000 Energy Points. Remaining Energy Points: 8,040.

Ding! It has been detected that you already possess the same type of White Talent, Spiritual Root Holder. The Wood-Fire Dual Spiritual Root Talent will overwrite it.

The enhancement from the Wood-Fire Dual Spiritual Root made Su Xing's five senses even sharper.

Su Xing took out a Spirit Stone to cultivate and could clearly feel the refreshing sensation of spiritual energy entering his body.

"Phew... as expected of a dual-element spiritual root. My cultivation efficiency is so much higher than before!"

The corners of Su Xing's lips curled up slightly. With this dual-element spiritual root, he would at least be able to obtain that Mysterious Old Man's special reward.

A bag of Spirit Seeds, along with the "Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique."

The Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique was an immortal technique worth one billion Energy Points!

Even the Half Evergreen Cultivation Technique Su Xing had obtained before had only cost 3,000 Energy Points.

That showed just how precious the Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique was.

Yet at the same time, Su Xing fell into deep thought.

That old man had a mysterious background and possessed such a precious immortal technique. He was undoubtedly a mighty figure of the Cultivation World. If Su Xing could become his disciple, he would definitely gain countless benefits.

"The old man said I hadn't completed his task and had started cultivating too late... He didn't directly refuse to accept me as a disciple."

"That means I still have a chance to become his disciple!"

Su Xing raised an eyebrow, a vague idea forming in his mind.

He still had one Remaining Simulation Count and could make one more attempt.

But before testing that idea, Su Xing needed to accumulate more Energy Points as support.

"Ugh, I only have a little over eight thousand Energy Points left. If I want to bring back what I need... I'll have to save up at least several thousand more."

Though Su Xing had a cheat and a promising future, he was currently just a miserable wage slave.

After finishing his cultivation, Su Xing contacted several younger female students and prepared to go Dungeon Crawling to level up.

The Following Week passed in more dull cultivation and Dungeon Crawling to level up.

The good news was that after Su Xing's Qi Cultivation breakthrough, he became faster at farming equipment in Dungeons and power-leveling others.

The Bad News was that Su Xing nearly missed his flight to Jinling City.

Fortunately, Su Xing barely made it in the end.

At two in the afternoon on November 18, 2023, New Era calendar, Su Xing boarded a flight to Jinling City.

Capital and Jinling City were separated by thousands of miles, and Su Xing would have to spend four or five hours on the plane.

After boarding, Su Xing closed his eyes to rest. In truth, he was preparing for his final simulation before entering the "Azure Cloud Spirit Field" Dungeon.

"Start Simulation!"

1,100 Energy Points consumed. Remaining Energy Points: 13,780. Remaining Simulation Count: none.

Simulation Starts!

Drawing a White Talent costs 100 Energy Points. Drawing a Green Talent costs 1,000 Energy Points. Draw?

"Draw a White Talent."

Su Xing chose a White Talent. After all, the goal of this simulation had already been decided: bringing back his cultivation. Spending another 1,000 Energy Points to draw a Green Talent would be a waste.

Energy Points were extremely precious, so Su Xing naturally had to budget carefully.

The Mysterious Old Man had said that Su Xing had started too late. Clearly, he meant that Su Xing's cultivation was too low. Perhaps if Su Xing's cultivation were higher, he could pass the task assessment.

Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the White Talent: Resolute Features!

Resolute Features: Others see your face as resolute, making you look like an upright person and more likely to earn their trust.

Su Xing nodded slightly when he saw this Talent. It was neither good nor bad, but it was useful nonetheless.

On the plane, you realized that you were in a simulation. You took a short nap to ease the exhaustion from power-leveling day and night these past few days.

That evening, you arrived in Jinling City and found a place outside the city to cultivate through the night.

The next day, you began searching for Jin Congxue.

That evening, you encountered Jin Congxue as she was preparing to return to the city.

You told her you were lost. Seeing your resolute features and how much you looked like a good person, Jin Congxue invited you to return to the city with her.

Jin Congxue led you down the small path she often took, and before long, you discovered the "Azure Cloud Spirit Field" Dungeon.

You entered the Azure Cloud Spirit Field Dungeon.

You encountered the Mysterious Old Man, who assigned you a farming task.

Over The Following Week, you began tilling the fields and nourishing the Spirit Grain with spiritual energy. Since you were at the Qi Refinement Fifth Layer and your spiritual power was relatively pure, the Spirit Grain grew very well.

During your free time, you also helped Jin Congxue tend the Spirit Field.

A week later, the Mysterious Old Man handed out your rewards.

The Mysterious Old Man gave Jin Congxue thirty Spirit Stones and thirty jin of Spirit Rice, then sent her out of the Dungeon.

The old man took out a stone for testing aptitude, and you tested positive for the Wood-Fire Dual Spiritual Root.

The old man smiled and nodded, rewarding you with a bag of Spirit Seeds and the immortal technique, the Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique.

You wished to take the old man as your master, but he refused.

Unwilling to give up, you asked what the requirements were for becoming his disciple.

The old man sighed and said that your aptitude was passable, but your cultivation was too low. If you were a Golden Core Cultivator, perhaps he could accept you as a disciple.

You nodded and asked whether you could exchange the Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique for Spirit Stones instead.

The old man frowned slightly, feeling that you did not know the value of what you had been given, but he still gave you a Thousand Spirit Stones.

Su Xing's face lit up at the sight, and he muttered:

"Sure enough, it's because my cultivation is too low... As long as I can display enough potential, I might be able to become that Mysterious Old Man's disciple!"

Excited, Su Xing continued reading.

You left the Dungeon with the Spirit Stones.

A few days later, you returned to Capital University and began cultivating bitterly day and night.

Because you possessed the Wood-Fire Dual Spiritual Root, your cultivation advanced rapidly.

In the second year, you successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment First Layer and became a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

In the third year, your cultivation broke through to the Foundation Establishment Second Layer. You had 1,000 Spirit Stones left.

In the fifth year, you successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer. You had only 700 Spirit Stones left.

In the seventh year, your cultivation steadily improved, and you became a Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer cultivator, with only 300 Spirit Stones remaining.

You realized that at this rate, your remaining Spirit Stones would not be enough to support your cultivation all the way to the Golden Core Stage.

So you began budgeting your Spirit Stones carefully, converting as much as possible into spiritual energy and cultivation.

That year, you attended your younger sister Su Nian'an's funeral.

In the eighth year, because you conserved Spirit Stones, your cultivation progressed slowly, and you remained stuck at the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer.

In the ninth year, you successfully broke through and became a Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer cultivator.

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

In the eleventh year, your cultivation advanced to the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer. You had only 100 Spirit Stones left.

You remembered that Jin Congxue still had thirty Spirit Stones, but you had been so immersed in cultivation over the years that you had not had time to contact her.

So you spent half a year frantically Dungeon Crawling for equipment and power-leveling others for money.

Because of your outstanding strength, Silver Rank Dungeons were effortless for you. In just half a year, you earned two hundred million.

You found Jin Congxue and wanted to use the two hundred million to buy the Spirit Stones in her possession.

Jin Congxue agreed, because those Spirit Stones were not especially useful to her.

With the remaining 130 Spirit Stones, you began cultivating bitterly day and night, carefully calculating the spiritual energy in every single Spirit Stone.

In the fifteenth year, two months before the Giant Beast arrived, you successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer!
