The Mysteries of the Golden Core Stage, New Skill: Spirit Burst Technique

Su Xing recalled how he had reacted when breaking through in the Simulator. It should have been painful and agonizing.

He had secluded himself for several months before finally struggling his way into the Golden Core Stage.

Yet in reality, with the Simulator's help, Su Xing had broken through to the Golden Core Realm in less than a minute, as easily as if he had cultivated bitterly for decades.

Moreover, the Su Xing in the Simulator should have consumed a vast amount of spirit pills to break through, so his cultivation should have been unstable. Yet Su Xing's cultivation at this moment was exceptionally solid, and he felt completely at ease controlling it.

This meant that the Simulator could not only grant Su Xing Cultivation Feedback, but do so without any Side Effects.

Thinking of this, Su Xing slowly extended a hand. With a thought, a tiny vortex three inches wide appeared in his palm. Like a miniature tornado, it spun ceaselessly, transparent yet brimming with spirituality. It was a vortex formed from gathered spiritual power!

Su Xing tried continuously compressing and solidifying the Spiritual Energy Vortex in his hand. A few seconds later, an ever-spinning vortex was born. Su Xing could sense the immense power contained within it; even Gold Rank Professionals would likely find it difficult to withstand.

Sensing the vortex tremble constantly, as though it were about to erupt, Su Xing hurriedly controlled it and began to break it apart.

Several dozen seconds later, the vortex slowly vanished from Su Xing's hand.

Su Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered,

"Damn it, good thing I got it under control. If that vortex had gone out of control, this whole dorm building would probably have been razed to the ground, right?"

Su Xing sensed his body. Less than one-tenth of the spiritual power within him had been consumed.

That sounded like very little, but in the Real World, he had no way to replenish spiritual energy at all. Aside from using Spirit Stones, he could only replenish it by entering the Spiritual Field Blessed Land.

But now that he was a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, replenishing that ten percent of spiritual power would probably require an entire Spirit Stone.

"Damn it, that's such a waste!"

Even as his heart ached over it, Su Xing felt a little afraid. Fortunately, he had gotten it under control in time. Otherwise, if he had blown up the entire dormitory building, he would probably have been arrested as a terrorist.

At the same time, excitement flickered in Su Xing's eyes. He had yet to master any cultivation spells, yet merely relying on his Golden Core Stage cultivation, he already possessed such destructive power.

"As expected, cultivation is the true path! Leveling up and all that is just for low-tier professions!"

The corners of Su Xing's mouth curled upward. After calming himself, he realized that his mind had somehow gained a great deal of new memories. They were the ten years of alchemy experience he had acquired during this simulation.

However, breaking through to the Golden Core Stage had affected Su Xing so greatly that he had nearly overlooked this equally important alchemy experience.

"Hehe! Just one simulation saved me fifteen years of bitter cultivation... I'm a Golden Core Stage Cultivator now too!"

Su Xing could not help feeling a little carried away, but the moment he thought of the world-ending disaster more than a decade from now, he immediately deflated.

Stay steady. Don't get reckless.

Stay steady. Don't get reckless.

Stay steady. Don't get reckless.

Su Xing repeated it three times in his heart, keeping himself on guard at all times. Although his cultivation had increased greatly and he could now rival Gold Rank Professionals, he was still far from being able to stop the disaster fifteen years from now!

To put it bluntly, forget the disaster fifteen years later—even the Advent Sect was beyond his ability to handle.

"But speaking of which... now that I'm already in the Golden Core Realm, I really should find a way to obtain the second half of the Evergreen Cultivation Technique in a Dungeon. Otherwise, even if I cultivate the Nine Revolutions Golden Core, I still won't be able to stand against a Nascent Soul Grandmaster!"

Su Xing closed his eyes in thought, considering what choices he should make in the next Dungeon.

There were two things Su Xing urgently needed right now. The first was the Evergreen Cultivation Technique, which concerned whether he could break through to the Nascent Soul Stage and even higher realms.

The second was the Organ Refinement Pill. If Su Xing could successfully consume one, he might become a powerhouse of the Organ Refinement Realm. At that point, his cultivation would increase severalfold again!

"But... if there's a stronger Talent, perhaps I could consider that too?"

With a thought, Su Xing summoned his Professional Panel.

Name: Su Xing

Profession: Cultivator (Unique Hidden Profession)

Cultivation: Golden Core Stage First Level, Body Tempering Great Perfection

Cultivation Technique: Evergreen Cultivation Technique

Talents: Wood-Fire Dual Spiritual Root, Die With Eyes Open, Mr. Great Strength, Good Luck Streak, Sudden Inspiration, Unyielding...

Skills: Li Fire (Beginner), Alchemy Technique (Beginner), Spirit Burst Technique (Not Yet Learned)

Equipment: Crimson Blood Longsword (Green), Spiked Chainmail (Green), Azure Cloud Boots (Green)

After breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, Su Xing's strength had clearly improved tremendously.

Although his Body Tempering Great Perfection cultivation was somewhat lacking, Su Xing was still waiting to build up enough momentum and break through to the Organ Refinement Realm in one go!

Furthermore, Su Xing now had six Talents. Every one of them was important to him and guaranteed that he could conduct better simulations.

"I already have six Talents now, but just how many Talents can I actually master?"

Su Xing had a vague premonition that Talents surely did not have no upper limit. Otherwise, if he could carry thousands of Talents with him, would he not be invincible?

"Huh... it seems I have an extra skill, Spirit Burst Technique?"

Su Xing froze when he saw his skill list. Previously, he had only mastered Li Fire and the Alchemy Technique. Clearly, the Professional Panel had split the Li Fire Alchemy Technique into two parts.

As for the Spirit Burst Technique? Su Xing had absolutely no memory of learning this skill!

But then a thought struck Su Xing, and he reacted. He muttered,

"Could it be that the vortex I tried to condense earlier was recognized as a skill by the Professional Panel?"

Su Xing fell into thought. This meant that although he could not obtain Skill Scrolls through methods such as killing monsters or opening treasure chests, he could comprehend skills on his own.

It did not seem as convenient, but it gave him limitless possibilities.

Moreover, the Professionals of this world were somewhat like the online game classes from his previous life. After casting skills, they had cooldown periods.

Su Xing remembered that when his good buddy Yu Yan had still been only a Bronze Level 1 Professional, after firing just one Fireball Technique, he had been completely drained and could only use his staff to smack monsters on the head.

Su Xing, on the other hand, could continuously cast spells such as Li Fire and the Spirit Burst Technique as long as he had enough spiritual energy within him.

"Looks like mastering the Spirit Burst Technique can also be added to the agenda in future simulations?"

Su Xing silently noted down his plan.

Over the following week, Su Xing continued refining Beauty Pills.

After breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, Su Xing's spiritual power had become much richer. The spiritual energy in his body was now enough to let him cast the Li Fire Technique continuously for over an hour, so his alchemy speed had also increased severalfold.

In just one day, Su Xing successfully refined 200 Low-Grade Version Beauty Pills.

"Phew... finally finished refining them!"
