Other Cultivators, Nine Revolutions Golden Core!

Su Xing was shaken to the core when he saw this.

Soul Search Technique!

This was absolutely a spell that only Cultivators could master!

Yet in this world, he was clearly the only one with the Cultivator profession.

After all, Cultivator was a Unique Hidden Profession!

Then why could Guardian Dragon use a spell unique to Cultivators?

"Wait... is Guardian Dragon really a Professional?"

A thought struck Su Xing. He was indeed the only person in this world with the Cultivator profession, but he was definitely not the only Cultivator.

Leaving aside distant examples, wasn't his master, Azure Cloud Master, a Cultivator from the Azure Cloud Sect Dungeon?

"So... could this Guardian possibly be someone from a Dungeon?"

The more Su Xing thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Those Alien Demonic Beasts came from other Dungeons, yet they could still invade the Real World.

Then it made sense for Guardian Dragon to have come from some Dungeon and to be a native of that Dungeon.

After all, the Advent Sect had close ties with the Alien Race. Such a possibility existed!

Su Xing took a deep breath. The Advent Sect's secrets were growing ever more numerous, making even his hair stand on end with a chilling sense of dread.

Not only could they contact the Alien Race, but they could even form alliances with NPCs from certain Dungeons.

The Advent Sect ran far deeper than he had imagined.

"Luckily, I haven't gotten involved with the Advent Sect in the Real World... otherwise, even several lives wouldn't be enough to die!"

Su Xing felt fortunate, then thought:

"Still, the Advent Sect really is a great place to farm experience. As long as I don't personally enter the Sect Treasury, I can still reap quite a few benefits."

Su Xing gently shook his head and turned his gaze toward the simulation rewards.

Sword Dao Genius: Blue Talent. Price: 100,000 Energy.

Bone Forging Great Perfection: Cultivation. Price: 11,000 Energy.

Seven Years of Alchemy Experience: Contains your seven years of Alchemy Insight, including proficient mastery of pill formulas such as the Essence Nurturing Pill and Spirit Nurturing Pill. Price: 70,000 Energy.

Golden Core Stage Third Level: Qi Cultivation at the third level of the Golden Core Stage. At the same time, due to your continuous consumption of Essence Nurturing Pills, the Golden Core in your Dantian has become more solid and is already approaching High-Grade Golden Core quality. Price: 200,000 Energy.

Core Condensation Technique: A Core Condensation Secret Art capable of condensing up to a Nine Revolutions Golden Core. Extremely precious to Golden Core Stage Cultivators. Price: 100,000 Energy.

One hundred and twenty spirit herbs: Price: 600,000 Energy.

Su Xing fell into deep thought as he looked at the six rewards before him.

First, the Core Condensation Technique was a reward he absolutely had to choose. He had risked his life to obtain this secret art. If he did not choose it, he would inevitably have to enter the Advent Sect's Sect Treasury again in the next simulation, which meant dying once more.

The option of one hundred and twenty spirit herbs could be ruled out. It was simply too expensive, and Su Xing did not currently need particularly high-grade spirit herbs to refine Beauty Pills.

After hesitating for a long while, Su Xing still chose Seven Years of Alchemy Experience over cultivation and talent.

For the same reason as before, Sword Dao Genius might seem tempting, but Su Xing did not currently possess any sword cultivation techniques. Choosing it would be a waste.

"I choose Seven Years of Alchemy Experience and the Core Condensation Technique secret art!"

As soon as Su Xing spoke, a notification sounded in his ear.

Ding. You have chosen to bring out Seven Years of Alchemy Experience. 70,000 Energy consumed. Remaining Energy: 623,000.

Ding. You have chosen to bring out the Core Condensation Technique secret art. 100,000 Energy consumed. Remaining Energy: 523,000.

A vast number of alchemy-related memories flooded Su Xing's mind. He could feel that his grasp of the Essence Nurturing Pill and Spirit Nurturing Pill had improved further.

When he opened the Professional Panel, it was just as expected. Su Xing had mastered the Minor Accomplishment Level method for refining Spirit Nurturing Pills, while the Essence Nurturing Pill had already reached the Great Accomplishment Level.

At the same time, an ancient-looking manual appeared in Su Xing's hand.

Three bold, sweeping characters were written across its cover: Core Condensation Technique.

Su Xing eagerly opened the Core Condensation Technique and began reading its contents. Only two hours later did he slowly raise his head, a smile appearing on his face.

The Core Condensation Technique was not difficult to learn. One could successfully master this secret art in just a few days.

What was difficult was the process of constantly tempering and condensing the Golden Core!

According to the description in the Core Condensation Technique, ordinary Cultivators could only reach the Mid-Grade Golden Core level throughout their lives.

Dual Spiritual Root Cultivators, on the other hand, had a chance of reaching the High-Grade Golden Core.

As for the Nine Revolutions Golden Core, only Single Spiritual Root Cultivators had any chance of refining one!

The Core Condensation Technique contained this record:

"In Immortal Era 78369, during the Cultivation Golden Age, every sect beneath the heavens could learn the art of core condensation and condense the supreme Nine Revolutions Golden Core. Yet among the hundreds of millions of Cultivators in our realm, only twenty or thirty could condense a Nine Revolutions Golden Core each year—merely half fewer than during the ancient golden age."

The general meaning was that in that year, only twenty or thirty people in the entire world managed to condense a Nine Revolutions Golden Core over the course of the whole year. That was a number only achievable during a Cultivation Golden Age.

The book's mention of hundreds of millions of Cultivators probably simply meant there were many Cultivators, but Su Xing had no idea of the exact number.

Still, by Su Xing's estimation, perhaps only one Cultivator out of hundreds of thousands or even millions could condense a Nine Revolutions Golden Core.

Of course, condensing a Nine Revolutions Golden Core was not necessarily a good thing, because it consumed far too much time!

According to the book, a Nine Revolutions Golden Core should bear nine core patterns. On average, condensing each core pattern required ten years, or even several decades.

After cultivating the Core Condensation Technique, however, the time needed to condense a core could be cut in half...

Even so, a Nine Revolutions Golden Core remained difficult to achieve for those of mediocre aptitude.

But Su Xing was not afraid!

Time was what he lacked least. If one simulation was not enough, then he would do two. If two were not enough, then he would do ten!

As long as Su Xing did not die prematurely in each simulation, he would have fifteen years to cultivate. Sooner or later, he would be able to condense a Nine Revolutions Golden Core!

Most importantly, the Core Condensation Technique's description of the Nine Revolutions Golden Core was simply too enticing.

"Those who condense a Nine Revolutions Golden Core can fight Nascent Soul Grandmasters across realms as easily as eating and drinking!"

In other words, once you cultivated a Nine Revolutions Golden Core, fighting above your level would be as easy as eating and drinking.

How could Su Xing possibly resist such a powerful temptation?

"First, I'll learn the Core Condensation Technique. Then, in the simulations, I'll condense a High-Grade Golden Core. By repeating this process, I should eventually be able to bring out a Nine Revolutions Golden Core."

Su Xing set a small plan for himself.

"I'm not short on Energy for now. As long as I can refine enough Essence Nurturing Pills, replenishing nearly a million Energy every week won't be difficult... and once the Tarot Society is established, there'll be even more White Quality Equipment. By then, I might even gain several million Energy in a single week!"

Su Xing clenched his fists, feeling as though a bright future lay ahead.

All he had to do now was lie low and develop steadily. With enough Energy, he would have enough cultivation!
