The Mystery of Cultivators, Guardian Dragon's Bold Move!

The Mystery of Cultivators, Guardian Dragon's Bold Move!

Su Xing also wanted to explore the secret behind Elder Zong, but unfortunately, there seemed to be no opportunity in this simulation. He could only try again in the next simulation.

Su Xing held the Core Condensation Method in his hand, then took another stroll through the Heaven and Earth Treasures Area of the treasury.

This stroll left Su Xing utterly stunned, his eyes unable to leave the shelves.

"Hundred-year Blood Ginseng... the main ingredient for refining Blood Replenishing Pills. Hiss, they actually have such a good thing?"

"Fifty-year Revival Grass, the main ingredient for refining Revival Pills. One pill can restore the Primal Energy of someone on the brink of death!"

"And two-hundred-year Dragon Iris Grass, five-hundred-year Zixin Flowers... Holy crap, did this treasury loot an entire sect's herb garden?"

Su Xing found it hard to imagine. With his respectable Alchemy Technique and the knowledge of identifying spirit herbs he had learned from the Shennong Spirit Cultivation Technique, he effortlessly recognized the names of most of the spirit herbs.

These spirit herbs were extremely precious and came in a complete variety. There were herbs ranging from several hundred years old to just over a decade old, and in enormous quantities. There were probably tens of thousands of spirit herbs in the entire treasury.

"Holy crap, how many pills could these make?"

Su Xing's eyes were filled with envy. If he had to grow these spirit herbs himself in the Spiritual Field Blessed Land, it would take at least several hundred years to obtain them.

But now, all these spirit herbs were laid out before Su Xing...

Most importantly, Su Xing was the only person in the entire Advent Sect who could bring out the medicinal properties of these herbs. That meant these spirit herbs were practically his personal property!

Although the pills Su Xing refined could only be used by people from the Advent Sect, the alchemy skills he gained while refining them would remain with him for real.

In other words, the Advent Sect was practically a holy land for Su Xing to grind alchemy experience!

Su Xing reluctantly pulled his gaze away from the spirit herbs and said to Elder Shadow beside him:

"The spirit herbs in your Advent Sect Treasure Vault are really comprehensive. This has truly been an eye-opening experience!"

After hearing this, Elder Shadow patted Su Xing's shoulder and corrected him:

"Our Advent Sect! Elder Yao is now our Eighteenth Elder! And you're the only alchemist in our entire sect. As long as you need them, you can use them as you please!"

After a pause, Elder Shadow added:

"Of course, that's also because the Heavenly Material, Earthly Treasure in the treasury are almost entirely managed by our Nature Faction, which is why we have such broad authority!"

Su Xing immediately widened his eyes upon hearing this and said excitedly:

"Is that true? I actually know how to refine several rather impressive pills as well... I've simply lacked the medicinal ingredients, which is why I haven't been able to refine them!"

Hearing Su Xing's words, Elder Shadow became excited as well and hurriedly said:

"Elder Yao can naturally use the spirit herbs in the treasury as he pleases. Just make sure someone records them whenever they're taken!"

"And the refined pills must be turned over to the sect... Of course, Elder Yao can keep a portion of the pills himself, along with a large amount of Contribution Points!"

Su Xing nodded repeatedly. As long as he could refine pills and gain experience, that was enough.

If every simulation provided such abundant medicinal ingredients for Su Xing to refine new pills, then in just a few more simulations, his Alchemy Technique could advance from Beginner Level to Minor Accomplishment Level.

By then, Su Xing could even try refining mid-grade pills!

Low-grade Spirit Nurturing Pills, Essence Nurturing Pills, and Organ Refinement Pills already had such effects. Mid-grade pills would bring a qualitative increase to Su Xing's cultivation speed!

And... most crucially, the people of the Advent Sect knew absolutely nothing about alchemy!

He could claim he needed however many herbs he wanted. When the time came, he could ask for a hundred spirit herbs, use only ten, and keep the remaining ninety for himself. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

That was what Su Xing thought, and that was exactly what he did.

He immediately requested over a hundred spirit herbs from Guardian Shadow and stated that with those herbs, he could refine new pills for the sect within half a year.

Guardian Shadow naturally did not refuse and directly agreed to Su Xing's request.

Then, as they left the Sect Treasury, Guardian Shadow said to Su Xing:

"Elder Yao, hand over the Core Condensation Technique and herbs you took earlier to Guardian Dragon for registration..."

Su Xing nodded upon hearing this, then showed Guardian Dragon the items he was taking out.

When he saw the Core Condensation Technique, a trace of surprise flashed across Guardian Dragon's ancient, expressionless face as he asked:

"You are a Cultivator?"

Su Xing's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly explained:

"My profession is Cultivator, but I have no cultivation... I only wanted this alchemy method to study Alchemy Technique!"

Guardian Dragon frowned slightly, then grabbed Su Xing and placed a hand on his wrist.

Guardian Dragon's expression changed drastically at once.

"No, you are a Golden Core Stage cultivator! Who exactly are you? Why are you still able to cultivate to the Golden Core Stage in this Era of Dharma Decline?"

"Where did your spiritual energy resources and Spirit Stones come from?"

Seeing Guardian Dragon react so strongly, Guardian Shadow quickly explained from the side:

"Guardian Dragon, have you misunderstood something? How could Elder Yao be a Golden Core Stage cultivator? He doesn't have any Spirit Stones at all..."

Guardian Dragon snorted coldly and extended a skeletal, withered hand toward Su Xing.

Su Xing's heart jolted. Guardian Dragon could actually see through his Cultivation Realm...

One had to know that ordinary Professionals could not see Su Xing's cultivation. Their insight skills could only detect Su Xing's Bronze Level 1 profession level.

Only cultivators could detect Su Xing's cultivation!

Elder Dragon was a cultivator?

And an extraordinarily powerful one at that!

Countless thoughts flashed through Su Xing's mind, but a mysterious light had already begun to flicker in Elder Dragon's hand.

Just then, a system notification sounded beside Su Xing's ear.

Ding, this Immersive Simulation has ended...

As the notification sounded, Su Xing's consciousness instantly returned to the Real World.

Su Xing hurriedly checked the Simulator, wanting to see just who Elder Dragon really was.

Inside the Advent Sect Treasure Vault, Guardian Dragon performed a Soul Search on you. This Simulator automatically blocked your memories related to the Simulator.

Guardian Dragon's Soul Search lasted for more than ten minutes. He learned the secret that you had not sincerely wanted to join the Advent Sect, but he did not seem to care about it.

Because your memories had been altered, Guardian Dragon saw you only as a lucky person who had accidentally obtained a small number of Spirit Stones and an immortal cultivation technique.

You were subjected to Soul Search for a full ten minutes. After the Soul Search ended, you entered a vegetative state.

Guardian Dragon disliked the sight of you staring blankly and drooling, so he slapped you into pulp.

You died!

Ding, this simulation has ended!
