Learning Alchemy, Rich Lady Happy Pill!

Su Xing felt a little delighted when he saw this.

It had been more than ten simulations since he began, and he had finally mastered an offensive magic technique.

Flames capable of instantly melting gold were surely no weak attack!

Su Xing continued the simulation.

One day, Wang Qingxuan came to see you and brought you the first half of the Evergreen Cultivation Technique.

You did not accept the Evergreen Cultivation Technique. Instead, you asked to join the organization she belonged to.

At your request, Wang Qingxuan agreed and took you to meet an Elder.

Having learned from your previous lesson, you chose to lie low and develop steadily. You completed only one or two missions each month and devoted the rest of your time to studying Alchemy Technique.

You discovered that your Li Fire was still too weak, and the pills you refined could only be considered semi-finished products.

Thus, you devoted yourself to studying the Li Fire Magic Technique, and your command over Li Fire improved by the day.

In the seventh year, you attended your younger sister's funeral. Afterward, you collected yourself and continued studying the Li Fire Magic Technique.

In the eighth year, through your unremitting efforts, you had gained an initial grasp of the Li Fire Magic Technique, doubling the power of your Li Fire.

You felt that your command of Li Fire was sufficient and that you could begin formally refining Grain Abstinence Pills.

At first, each batch of pills could usually produce only one or two finished products.

However, you had enough Spirit Rice for experimental refinement, so your proficiency in refining Grain Abstinence Pills steadily rose.

In the tenth year, you had mastered Grain Abstinence Pill refinement inside and out. Out of every ten pills, you could refine seven or eight finished products, and occasionally even Supreme Grain Abstinence Pills. After consuming one, you could go without food for three months while remaining full of energy.

That same year, you attended the funeral of your good brother, Yu Yan.

In the eleventh year, you felt the time was ripe and began learning to refine Beauty Pills.

Beauty Pills were much harder to refine than Grain Abstinence Pills, requiring more than ten ingredients, including Spirit Ginseng, Peach Kernel, Sichuan Lovage, Rehmannia Root, and Angelica Sinensis.

Fortunately, aside from Spirit Ginseng, most of the materials were ordinary medicinal herbs that could be bought in the Real World.

Ten years earlier, you had happened to plant several dozen ginseng plants. After ten years of nourishment from spiritual energy, they had become Ten-Year Spirit Ginseng.

Your first attempt at refining Beauty Pills failed, just as expected.

But your resolve never wavered. Within three months, you refined Beauty Pills over a hundred times and gradually grasped the proper heat and techniques for refining them.

At that point, you had only one Spirit Ginseng left, enough for just three more batches of Beauty Pills.

Your resolve remained firm, and you began refining without hesitation.

Fortunately, you finally succeeded during your last attempt, obtaining three finished Beauty Pills.

You personally swallowed one pill. A great deal of filth was expelled from your body, while your skin became smoother and fairer. Even the wrinkles at the corners of your eyes vanished completely.

You realized that, to certain rich ladies, Beauty Pills would be absolutely priceless!

So, you named the Beauty Pills Rich Lady Happy Pills.

You sought out Jin Congxue and sold her one Beauty Pill.

Jin Congxue, who was already nearing forty, swallowed the pill. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes gradually disappeared, and her skin became as delicate as that of a woman in her twenties.

Jin Congxue was overjoyed and was willing to pay one hundred million Great Xia Coins for the pill.

She asked whether you had any more pills. Your last pill had another use, so you shook your head.

After saying goodbye to Jin Congxue, you returned to the Capital and attempted to refine a Low-Grade Beauty Pill that did not require Spirit Ginseng.

One day, an Elder from the Advent Sect came to see you and assigned you a mission.

You accepted the mission, but soon discovered that you were not the only one carrying it out. Several hundred Cult Members had joined the mission, including Wang Qingxuan.

To your surprise, Wang Qingxuan had already become a Heavenly King Level powerhouse, and she was the commander of this operation.

After several years apart, Wang Qingxuan seemed to have aged considerably. You gave her your only remaining Beauty Pill.

Wang Qingxuan was deeply grateful for your concern. Though years had passed since you last met, her feelings for you remained unchanged.

On the night before the mission, Wang Qingxuan found you and told you not to participate.

When you asked why, she did not hide it. She bluntly told you that this mission was to enter Demon Suppressing Pass and assist the Demon Race in leaking human intelligence. It was Ten Deaths, No Life.

You were shocked and demanded to know why she had betrayed humanity and joined the Demon Race. She gave a miserable smile and said she had no way out.

She arranged for you to stay somewhere safe, and you did not participate in the mission.

Not long afterward, the prices of recovery potions on the market began skyrocketing. You realized that this sudden price hike was likely connected to the Advent Sect's operation.

You felt troubled and deeply powerless, so you began working hard to develop a Low-Grade Version of the "Rich Lady Happy Pill."

A year later, after more than a thousand attempts, you finally mastered a method of replacing Spirit Ginseng with ordinary ginseng.

You developed a Low-Grade Version of the "Rich Lady Happy Pill," with only one-tenth of the original's effectiveness.

You brought a bottle of Low-Grade "Rich Lady Happy Pills" to Jin Congxue, hoping she could tell you their value.

However, Jin Congxue's father told you that Jin Congxue had died in the Demon Suppressing Pass Dungeon.

You returned to the Capital in a daze, only to have your trail discovered by an Advent Sect Elder.

The Advent Sect Elder declared you a traitor, killed you with his own hands, and crushed your head.

You died. This simulation had ended!

You may choose one of the following rewards: Unyielding Determination (Talent), five Ninth Generation Spirit Chickens (Pets), Basic Li Fire Magic Technique (Magic Technique Insight), rudimentary Li Fire Alchemy Technique (Alchemy Insight)

Unyielding Determination: Green Talent. Price: 10,000 Energy Points.

Five Ninth Generation Spirit Chickens: Spirit Pets. After being continuously fed Spirit Rice, their bloodline continuously evolved, successfully turning them into low-level Spirit Pets. Price: 100,000 Energy Points.

Basic Li Fire Magic Technique: Ten years of insight and experience. Upon learning it, you will immediately gain an initial grasp of the Li Fire Magic Technique. Price: 100,000 Energy Points.

Rudimentary Li Fire Alchemy Technique: Alchemy experience below Entry Level, containing insights into refining Grain Abstinence Pills (Great Accomplishment Stage) and Beauty Pills (Minor Accomplishment Stage). Price: 100,000 Energy Points.

Seeing these rewards, Su Xing was excited, but his teeth also itched with frustration.

"Damn it, why can I only bring back one reward?"

"I want both the Basic Li Fire Magic Technique and the Unyielding Determination Talent!"

Su Xing complained inwardly. He had entered this simulation to gain alchemy experience.

Yet he had unexpectedly drawn an absurdly powerful Talent like Unyielding Determination.

Su Xing had seen it clearly. In the simulation, several difficulties that had been hard for him to overcome were brute-forced through with this Talent.

For instance, comprehending the Li Fire Magic Technique day and night for ten consecutive years—if he did not have this Talent, Su Xing truly had no confidence that he could have done it.

But if he chose this Talent, he would probably have to relearn Alchemy Technique and the Li Fire Magic Technique in the next simulation.

Just as Su Xing was hesitating, the Simulator's notification sounded in his mind:

Ding. The host may spend 500,000 Energy Points to upgrade the Simulator. The features of Life Simulator Version 2.0 are as follows...
