Becoming Azure Cloud Master's Disciple, Gaining a Spiritual Field Blessed Land

Su Xing had gone through all this trouble—wasn't it to become this old man's disciple?

Though he was only a registered disciple, the benefits he received would surely be even better than the Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique he had obtained before.

So Su Xing did not hesitate and directly bowed.

"Your disciple greets Master!"

Azure Cloud Master smiled and stroked his long beard. "Since you have entered my sect, I have several gifts for you!"

"The first gift is an immortal art called the Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique. I obtained it by chance, yet even after a thousand years of painstaking research, I still failed to cultivate it to perfection..."

"I see that you have considerable talent in farming, so I shall give this immortal art to you. If you can cultivate it to perfection, you will be able to claim a place for yourself among the Three Thousand Worlds!"

With that, Azure Cloud Master handed Su Xing the Jade Slip containing the Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique.

"Thank you, Master!"

Su Xing eagerly accepted it. He knew that this Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique was worth one billion energy points!

If he had to bring it back from the Simulator, who knew how long he would have needed to save up? But now that he had obtained it directly in the Real World, there was naturally no need to spend energy.

Azure Cloud Master nodded slightly and continued.

"The second gift is this portable Three-Inch Small Blessed Land!"

"Though this Three-Inch Small Blessed Land is only a small mountain spanning a hundred zhang in each direction, it is rich in spiritual energy, with clear waters and lush mountains. It is very suitable for you to study the methods of spirit cultivation!"

With that, Azure Cloud Master pointed a finger. A mark touched Su Xing's brow and merged into his body.

Su Xing felt something. He had completely connected with this patch of heaven and earth and could sense its every movement.

Hiss... doesn't this mean I directly own a Dungeon? I can enter and leave whenever I want?

Su Xing was once again astonished by his cheap master's methods.

Azure Cloud Master then took out a token and handed it to Su Xing. "The third gift is the Azure Cloud Token of the Azure Cloud Sect. Though you are merely my registered disciple, your status within the sect is not low. Once you cultivate to the Return to Void Realm, you may become my official disciple. At that time, simply travel to the Azure Cloud Sect in the Azure Cloud Realm!"

Hearing this, Su Xing accepted the ancient token, feeling slightly excited.

The Azure Cloud Sect looked like a proper immortal cultivation sect. It surely possessed plenty of Cultivation Resources. If he could enter the sect, he would strike it rich.

Unfortunately, Azure Cloud Master had set a goal for him. He needed to break through to the Return to Void Realm before he could go to the Azure Cloud Sect, and that was still far too distant for Su Xing.

After giving him the three gifts, Azure Cloud Master asked, "Disciple, is there anything else you wish to ask?"

Su Xing thought for a moment before saying, "Master, I still lack a superior cultivation technique... And didn't you say I was suited for alchemy? But I don't have any alchemy arts either..."

Azure Cloud Master nodded slightly after hearing this and handed over another Jade Slip. "I am not skilled in the Way of Alchemy. I only happened to acquire this Blazing Fire Alchemy Manual, which records 360 Pill Recipes. It should be enough for you to study..."

Su Xing hurriedly accepted the alchemy art. The Way of Alchemy was absolutely important to him now.

Whether it was for improving his own strength or selling pills for money and exchanging it for energy, it would be immensely useful.

Azure Cloud Master finally said, "As for a superior cultivation technique, you must understand that biting off more than you can chew will only leave you unable to digest it. You already possess the Evergreen Cultivation Technique. It is enough to cultivate you to the Return to Void Realm and will benefit you greatly. Come find me again after you have cultivated this technique to perfection!"

With that, Azure Cloud Master waved his sleeve, and his entire body slowly dissipated from this small world.

Azure Cloud Master's laughter still echoed through the air.

"Piaohu Daoist, three thousand years among the fields... How joyous! How joyous~"

Watching his master disappear, Su Xing was completely dumbfounded.

"Master, I haven't gotten on the ride yet!"

"Ah, pfft! Master, my cultivation technique is only half a manual! It's nowhere near enough to cultivate to the Return to Void Realm!"

Su Xing shouted, but received no response at all.

Su Xing's face immediately darkened as he complained, "Damn it! You put on such an act like some reclusive master... so why didn't you even give me a cultivation technique?"

Su Xing was somewhat speechless. His Evergreen Cultivation Technique was only half complete and could not possibly support his cultivation to the Return to Void Realm.

Su Xing sighed softly, then entered the Thatched Cottage, intending to see whether his cheap master had left him any inheritance.

After searching for quite some time, he found only several bags of seeds, a battered Alchemy Furnace, and several hundred Spirit Stones.

"Sigh... are these few Spirit Stones enough for me to cultivate to the Return to Void Realm?"

Su Xing was instantly speechless. These few hundred Spirit Stones, added to the two hundred Spirit Stones he had saved before, did not even amount to a thousand.

It would be good enough if they let him break through to the Golden Core Stage... As for the Return to Void Realm, that was still far too distant!

"So be it. At worst, I'll just simulate a few hundred more times. If I bring back some cultivation each time, I'll eventually be able to break through to the Return to Void Realm!"

Su Xing comforted himself like this.

"But I need to put finding the second half of the Evergreen Cultivation Technique on the agenda..."

Su Xing rubbed his chin. The Evergreen Cultivation Technique had come from that mysterious organization, and if he wanted to find its latter half, he would definitely need to make contact with that organization.

After sorting through the property his cheap master had left behind, Su Xing began carefully examining this "Three-Inch Small Blessed Land."

Just as Azure Cloud Master had said, this small Blessed Land spanned a hundred zhang in each direction, totaling roughly five hundred mu.

However, the Blessed Land was filled with trees and weeds. Once cleared, the Spirit Field available for planting would amount to only a little over ten mu.

But no matter what, this portable Blessed Land was absolutely priceless to Su Xing!

With a thought, Su Xing left the "Azure Cloud Spirit Field" Blessed Land and returned to the Real World.

By then, it was already late outside. The moment Su Xing emerged, he saw Jin Congxue waiting nearby.

"Su Xing, you're finally out!"

Jin Congxue said excitedly.

After chatting with Jin Congxue for a while, Su Xing asked, "Congxue, those Spirit Stones are useless to you but extremely useful to me. I want to exchange fifty jin of Spirit Rice for your fifty Spirit Stones. Would that be alright?"

Jin Congxue shook her head after hearing this. "I only received these rewards because of your help. Half of them should have belonged to you in the first place!"

With that, Jin Congxue handed fifty Spirit Stones to Su Xing.

Su Xing did not stand on ceremony and accepted them directly.

For Su Xing now, Spirit Rice could be obtained through farming and was a renewable resource.

But he had not yet found any other way to obtain Spirit Stones. Once one was used, it was gone, making every single one precious.

Jin Congxue glanced at the sky and said, "A-Xing, it's getting late! Let's return to the city first!"

Su Xing nodded at that and returned to Jinling City with Jin Congxue.

Time in the Azure Cloud Spirit Field Dungeon flowed at a one-to-one ratio with time in the Real World.

It was already November 26 outside. The simulation cooldown had completed, so Su Xing chose to simulate without hesitation.

"Start Simulation!"

Consumed 1,200 energy points. Remaining energy: 2,680 points. 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 Green Talent!"

Ding, congratulations! You have obtained the Green Talent, Mr. Great Strength!
