Su Xing took a deep breath. He had sensed this before.

And now, he was ninety percent certain that the version of himself in the Simulator would indeed act according to his thoughts in the Real World.

Su Xing continued the simulation.

This year, because your cultivation was too low, your graduation was postponed.

You had long anticipated this and devoted all your energy to making money.

You borrowed a large sum from your good brother Yu Yan and opened an equipment store in the Capital, specializing in selling equipment to low-level Professionals.

Because you had gained a modest reputation at school and had a very high credit rating, many freshmen were willing to buy your equipment.

You took freshmen Dungeon Crawling to level them up while reselling low-level equipment. In just three short years, you had made a fortune.

In the fifth year, your net worth surpassed one billion. Your equipment business was no longer confined to the Capital. You founded the Tarot Society, opening stores throughout Great Xia, with your focus set on Jinling City in Jiangnan Province.

You instructed your subordinates to search everywhere for information regarding Spirit Stones, but they found nothing.

One day, Wang Qingxuan came to find you.

She brought you Half Evergreen Cultivation Technique. You told her that you did not need this half of the technique and hoped she could help you find the latter half of the Evergreen Cultivation Technique.

Though Wang Qingxuan was puzzled, she still agreed.

After one night, Wang Qingxuan vanished once more. You did not ask too many questions and continued making money and building yourself up.

Because you looked kind-hearted and had an excellent reputation for integrity in the business world, you landed several major deals in succession. Your net worth soon doubled.

You were expelled from Kyoto Vocational University, but you were not upset. With single-minded focus, you continued developing your business.

In the seventh year, you had a sudden premonition and knew that your younger sister would be entering the Demon Suppressing Pass Dungeon.

You knew you could not stop this from happening, so you chose to return to your hometown and spent a month attentively accompanying your parents and Su Nian'an.

A month later, you attended Su Nian'an's funeral, your heart heavy with grief.

After the funeral, you returned to Kyoto City and continued managing your business.

One day, you received news that a Grandmaster Level Expert in Jinling City possessed a treasured item known as a Spirit Stone.

It was here!

Su Xing grew excited when he saw this. This Spirit Stone was the key to whether he could cultivate immortality!

You hurried through the night to Jinling City and met with this Grandmaster Level Expert.

This Grandmaster Level Expert believed in Buddhism. She had a rather favorable impression of you and hoped to get to know you more deeply.

You glanced at her face. Though she was nearing forty, she had maintained herself exceptionally well and looked only around thirty. She possessed a mature charm.

You stayed in Jinling City for seven days. She became a friend with whom you could talk about anything, and you learned that her name was Jin Congxue.

You learned that she possessed three Spirit Stones in total, and you decided to purchase them for three hundred million.

However, she shook her head and said that since you were friends, she would sell them to you for the friendship price of thirty million.

You obtained the Spirit Stones from Jin Congxue and excitedly returned to your residence, circulating your cultivation technique in preparation to absorb the Spirit Stones.

You successfully drew a wisp of spiritual energy from a Spirit Stone. You were beside yourself with joy; this proved that you truly could cultivate immortality.

Over the next three days, you absorbed half a Spirit Stone and discovered that your cultivation had broken through to Qi Refinement Stage Layer Two!

You forcibly restrained your desire and saved the remaining two and a half Spirit Stones rather than continuing your cultivation.

After reading the simulation information, Su Xing clenched his fists in excitement.

He had succeeded! Now that he had a Spiritual Root, Spirit Stones, and a cultivation technique, he could finally cultivate successfully!

Su Xing could not wait to bring the Spirit Stones out of the simulation, but he patiently chose to continue it.

After your cultivation improved, you were overjoyed. You sought out Jin Congxue again and asked how she had obtained those Spirit Stones.

Jin Congxue did not hide anything from you. She told you that she had acquired the Spirit Stones six years ago, from a Dungeon called the "Azure Cloud Spirit Field."

Back then, she had entered the Dungeon and helped an old man farm for a week, receiving a bag of Spirit Rice and three Spirit Stones in return.

Spirit Field, Spirit Rice, Spirit Stones...

Su Xing's eyes widened. There was no doubt that the Dungeon Jin Congxue had entered was absolutely related to "cultivation."

"There are Cultivation-oriented Dungeons... Of course. Now everything makes sense!"

Su Xing finally understood where those cultivation techniques and Spirit Stones had come from. They came from those cultivation Dungeons!

It was just that cultivation-type Dungeons were bound to be extremely high-level. There was no way he could come into contact with one right now.

Su Xing patiently continued reading.

You realized how important this Dungeon was to you and excitedly asked Jin Congxue where it was located.

Yet Jin Congxue merely shook her head slightly and said that the Azure Cloud Spirit Field Dungeon had long since closed, and that she was the only Professional who had ever entered it.

Jin Congxue said that the old NPC in the Dungeon had told her she lacked the talent for cultivation. Otherwise, she could have obtained another stroke of fortune.

Hearing this, you became incredibly excited and hurriedly asked Jin Congxue exactly when and where she had entered that Dungeon!

Jin Congxue thought for a moment. She said that she had discovered the Dungeon by chance outside West City in Jinling in late November of New Era 2023, and that the Dungeon had existed for only seven days.

Su Xing froze when he saw this and glanced at the time on his phone.

October 7, New Era 2023, 14:31.

"Hiss~"

Su Xing took a deep breath. This proved that, in the Real World, the Dungeon called the "Azure Cloud Spirit Field" had not yet opened, and he still had a chance to enter that cultivation Dungeon!

"No rush... There is still more than a month before that Dungeon opens. The most important thing is to improve my strength during this time!"

Through Jin Congxue, Su Xing learned that to obtain more opportunities from that Dungeon, one had to possess cultivation talent—the so-called Spiritual Root.

Wasn't that a perfect coincidence?

Su Xing possessed the Talent called "Spiritual Root Holder"!

Therefore, all Su Xing had to do was head to Jinling City in mid-November!

You continued your equipment-reselling business as before and established the Tarot Society's second base in Jinling City.

While running your stores, you also did not neglect investigating the whereabouts of Spirit Stones.

Unfortunately, you did not obtain any further information about Spirit Stones. However, through Jin Congxue's connections, you gained access to more contacts and resources, and your equipment store business continued improving.

Another three years passed. You became a well-known wealthy man in Jinling City, and because of Jin Congxue, even Grandmaster Level Professionals treated you with considerable courtesy.

That year, Fatty Yu died, and you attended his funeral.

Another year passed. Because you had foreseen market fluctuations, you stockpiled a large quantity of potion-type items and made a fortune. Your net worth reached fifty billion.

One day, Jin Congxue came to find you. She looked somewhat unsettled.

Jin Congxue told you that she had been summoned. The pressure on the front lines was growing ever greater, and she had to go to Demon Suppressing Pass.

Su Xing was completely stunned when he saw this. Demon Suppressing Pass again!

This Demon Suppressing Pass seemed like a curse.

His little sister Su Nian'an, his good brother Yu Yan... and now even Jin Congxue was going to Demon Suppressing Pass?

You did not want her to go to Demon Suppressing Pass. She told you that she had to go; it was the duty of every Professional at Grandmaster Level or above.

You instead asked her for information about Demon Suppressing Pass.
