Spirit Stone Clue, the Path to Immortal Cultivation Is Right Before His Eyes!

A member of the Tarot Society told him that in Jinling City, Jiangnan Province, a Grandmaster Rank powerhouse possessed a treasured item known as a Spirit Stone.

Overjoyed, he rushed overnight to Jinling City.

He contacted that Grandmaster powerhouse and offered to buy the treasured Spirit Stone for 100 million Great Xia Coin.

The Grandmaster powerhouse agreed.

Yet, on the eve of the transaction, that mysterious person came for him.

He died at the age of thirty-three!

He triggered the Talent Die With Grievance!

His eyes stared fixedly at the mysterious person.

The mysterious person was somewhat displeased and crushed his head beneath one foot.

He lost his eyes, and the Die With Grievance Talent became ineffective.

This simulation has ended!

You may choose one of the following rewards: Calm Seas and Gentle Winds (Talent), Half Evergreen Cultivation Technique (cultivation method)

Seeing this, Su Xing was beside himself with joy.

"Finally... I've got the last clue about spiritual energy too! Spirit Stones... they absolutely have something to do with spiritual energy!"

Su Xing calmed himself, showing not the slightest hesitation over this simulation's rewards.

The Calm Seas and Gentle Winds Talent was truly mediocre. It would not improve Su Xing much; it merely made him look more impressive.

But the Evergreen Cultivation Technique was something that could genuinely allow him to cultivate!

And now that he had a clue about Spirit Stones, perhaps next time he could bring one back and truly begin cultivating!

So...

"I choose the Evergreen Cultivation Technique!"

Ding. You have chosen to bring back the Half Evergreen Cultivation Technique from the simulation. 3,000 energy points consumed. Remaining energy: 182 points.

At the same time, an ancient-looking cultivation manual appeared before Su Xing.

Overjoyed, Su Xing hurriedly examined the Evergreen Cultivation Technique.

Half Evergreen Cultivation Technique: The sect-defending cultivation method of the Evergreen Sect in the Azure Cloud Realm. This technique has six levels in total and can be cultivated up to the Return to Void stage. However, because this is only half of a fragmented manual, it can only be cultivated to the Core Formation stage at most. The Evergreen Cultivation Technique feeds on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, absorbing and nurturing the body, allowing one to prolong one's life and remain forever young.

The Cultivation Chant was as follows: "First level: Let all things flourish; sleep at night and rise early, stroll broadly through the courtyard, and let the spirit feel refreshed... Second level: The union of heaven and earth..."

After reading the introduction to the Evergreen Cultivation Technique, Su Xing was ecstatic.

This Evergreen Cultivation Technique looked far more reliable than that "Three Years to Teach You How to Go from Immortal Cultivation to the Grave" book he had bought before.

The Evergreen Cultivation Technique Upper Half was only several hundred words long. Su Xing spent less than half an hour memorizing it thoroughly.

Looking at the cultivation manual in his hands, Su Xing sighed softly.

"This technique can prolong life and preserve youth forever... but unfortunately, the End of the World will arrive in fifteen years. What use is a longer life then?"

After memorizing the Evergreen Cultivation Technique, Su Xing began planning his next simulation.

He could only simulate once a week, and every simulation consumed a massive amount of energy. Simulation Opportunities were therefore extraordinarily precious.

And Su Xing had to accumulate strength as quickly as possible, so he needed a clear goal for every simulation.

"The most urgent matter is still stepping through the threshold of immortal cultivation. So, in the next simulation, I'll most likely have to obtain that Spirit Stone..."

Su Xing thought it over. Unless he drew an exceptionally precious Talent in the next simulation, he would definitely choose the Spirit Stone.

"But I don't know the Spirit Stone's true value. How much energy will it take? Before the next simulation, I have to save up enough energy!"

Su Xing still had over eight hundred thousand Great Xia Coin in his account, enough to exchange for less than four thousand energy points at most.

Whether four thousand energy points would be enough to bring that Spirit Stone out remained unknown.

Su Xing sighed inwardly. Sure enough, a single penny could stump a hero.

Bang!

Just then, the dormitory door was kicked open with a loud crash.

A chubby figure walked in. It was Yu Yan.

Su Xing rolled his eyes and laughed as he scolded him.

"Fatty Yu, can't you be a little gentler? Sooner or later, you'll kick this door apart!"

Fatty Yu gave an honest grin.

"Haha, I'll be careful next time."

After hesitating, Fatty Yu chose his words carefully. "Oh, right. Teacher Liu seems to be looking for you... It appears to be about your class..."

Su Xing nodded, unsurprised.

He had spent three years slacking off at Kyoto Vocational University, the nation's number-one school, and had been widely recognized as dead weight. Teacher Liu had probably called him in to ask Su Xing to withdraw voluntarily, right?

After all, having a "good-for-nothing" appear at a school famous throughout Great Xia would create a negative impression.

Fatty Yu had clearly guessed it too. He patted Su Xing's shoulder and said:

"Old Su, don't worry too much. Kyoto Vocational University has never expelled a student... Besides, your class isn't something you could decide, and you haven't done anything wrong. Go without worry!"

"No matter what happens, you'll always be my brother!"

Naturally, Su Xing believed him. After all, even in the simulation, this fatty had never cut off contact with him before his death.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xing said:

"Fatty, I'm a little short on cash lately. Can you lend me some money?"

Yu Yan raised an eyebrow. He knew Su Xing's character. No matter how unsatisfactory his three years of university had been, he had never borrowed money before. He must have run into some trouble now.

So Yu Yan nodded.

"How much? Name a figure."

Su Xing gritted his teeth.

"Five million. Do you have it?"

Yu Yan nodded, took out a bank card, and handed it to Su Xing.

"There's five million on this card... The password is my birthday!"

Su Xing accepted the card, deeply moved. He opened his mouth as if to speak, then stopped.

"Fatty..."

Yu Yan waved a hand.

"Old Su, no need for all that sentimental stuff. Five million is nothing to me! You're my brother, aren't you?"

"Uh, actually, I wanted to ask... when is your birthday again?"

Yu Yan: "..."

Yu Yan said through gritted teeth, "Give me my money back, you bastard!"

Su Xing sidestepped him and chuckled.

"I'm just messing with you! I'm going to find Teacher Liu first!"

With that, Su Xing headed toward the Teaching Office.

Teacher Liu's full name was Liu Xiaodong. He was the student life instructor and Homeroom Teacher for Su Xing's department.

Students generally went to him for matters concerning daily life.

Back then, it had been Liu Xiaodong who recruited Su Xing into Kyoto Vocational University.

Knock, knock!

Su Xing knocked on the office door.

"Come in!"

Su Xing entered the office and saw a middle-aged man reclining in his chair and drinking tea, putting on the airs of a leader.

"Teacher Liu, what did you want to see me about?"

Su Xing asked directly.

Liu Xiaodong wore a smiling expression.

"Su Xing! How has your cultivation been lately? Has your rank improved?"

Sure enough, he had called him here because of this.

Su Xing had expected it, so he shook his head.

"No, it's still the same as before! But I'll cultivate as quickly as I can and strive to break through to Silver Rank soon!"

The smile on Liu Xiaodong's face did not change. He took a sip of tea and said:

"Su Xing, actually, I called you here this time because I want to discuss something with you..."

"You know that you fourth-years have less than a year left before graduation. Our department has assessment-rate and employment-rate requirements..."

Su Xing sneered inwardly. He had already guessed eight or nine parts of what Liu Xiaodong wanted to say, but he still pretended not to understand and asked:

"So, Teacher Liu, what do you mean? I hope you'll be direct."

Liu Xiaodong stopped pretending as well and said bluntly:

"Su Xing, I hope you'll withdraw from school voluntarily. It would be good for both your reputation and the school's!"
