While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move

Su Xing felt a bit of anticipation in his heart.

Soon, the meeting with Jin Congxue successfully concluded.

Su Xing disguised himself and hid his breath, stealthily returning to the school.

Converting the new week's goods into simulated energy, Su Xing gained over a billion more points of simulated energy.

Currently, the Tarot Commerce Association could provide Su Xing with a little over a billion points of simulated energy every week, and this rate was slowly increasing.

Starting next week, the Tarot Commerce Association would be able to provide a staggering one and a half billion points of energy each week.

A second-tier alien metal mining area instance alone could provide Su Xing with fifty million points of energy in one week!

"Next, I should try to understand the Dao of Puppets... The Fasting Pill is just the most basic elixir, not difficult to refine at all. If I can successfully create a puppet with this function, my speed in alchemy will increase several times over, even up to dozens of times!"

"By then, I might be able to refine tens of thousands of Fasting Pills in a week, equivalent to gaining the energy of an extra second-tier alien metal mining area instance!"

Su Xing's heart pounded with excitement.

If he could accomplish this, he would be able to entirely provide for the simulated energy needed for the entire Integration Phase and Chaos Origin Realm!

On December 9, 2024, in the New Era, Su Xing prepared to start a new round of simulation.

"Start simulation!"

[Ding! This simulation consumes 6,500 points of energy, remaining energy: 3.02533 billion points, remaining simulation attempts: unlimited.]

[Simulation begins!]

[Extracting purple talent costs 100,000 points of energy; extracting golden legendary talent costs 1 million points of energy. Would you like to extract?]

Su Xing thought for a moment; this time, he did not plan to extract new talents.

First, the forty percent probability was too low, making it unlikely for Su Xing to draw a golden talent.

Second, Su Xing currently needed a talent he had drawn before.

Talisman Master!

Regarding his comprehension of the Minor Spirit Gathering Array, Su Xing already had a certain foundation in the Dao of Arrays, and his understanding of the Five Elements was consummate.

What he lacked was some of the techniques for drawing talismans. If Su Xing had sufficient foundation in the Dao of Talismans, he could successfully learn the Minor Spirit Gathering Array.

By then, his cultivation after breaking through the Integration Phase would progress much faster.

"Besides... there's another important point: the Dao of Puppets seems to have some connection to the Dao of Talismans as well..."

Su Xing pondered this and muttered to himself:

"Use the talent pool extraction function!"

The next moment, a mirage-like tiger slot machine appeared before Su Xing.

Without hesitation, Su Xing tried to extract the purple talent.

After attempting over thirty times, Su Xing finally drew the talent he needed, Talisman Expert!

[Talisman Expert]: Purple talent you have a highly innate ability for making talismans. It is easier for you to learn new talismans, and your success rate in making talismans is slightly increased.

[Ding! You have successfully extracted the purple talent, Talisman Expert. Remaining energy: 3.02143 billion points. Would you like to start the simulation?]

Su Xing silently confirmed in his mind and then looked at the simulation panel.

[In the Spirit Field Cave, you realized you were in a simulation.]

[Over the next ten days, you dug a pond in the blessed land, poured spiritual spring water and spiritual liquid into it, and bought many fish fry to put in the pond.]

[You accumulated a day's worth of Great Wisdom State buff.]

[After finishing all this, you went to the Luotian Meeting instance.]

In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly when he saw this.

He planned to explore methods to remove the black qi from the spirit dragon in this simulation.

Additionally, Su Xing needed to strengthen his cultivation in the Dao of Puppets and the Dao of Talismans.

Therefore, Su Xing chose to re-enter the Luotian Meeting instance to acquire relevant knowledge.

"Use the immersive simulation function for 24 hours..."

Su Xing muttered.

[Congratulations on using the immersive simulation function, consuming 2.4 million points of energy, remaining energy: 3.01903 billion points.]

As the simulator's prompt sound fell, Su Xing's vision changed.

In the next second, Su Xing found himself in the grand hall of the Luo Tian Sect.

He heard the voice of the sect master, Luo Ying, by his ear.

"Good disciple, the Luotian Meeting is about to commence... Go to the back mountain to invite your senior brother, Shennong, here..."

"Yes, Master!"

Su Xing responded but did not move.

Luo Ying, seeing this, asked puzzledly: "Good disciple, why do you not go? Do you have something to inquire about?"

Su Xing nodded after hearing this and asked:

"Master, I indeed have a question to ask..."

"Recently, in the Scripture Pavilion, I saw an ancient text that recorded the spirit vein dragon and noted a story..."

"It said that the spirit vein dragon was condensed from the essence of heaven and earth, but if trapped in an array, it would be entangled with black qi..."

Su Xing naturally could not say he had encountered this situation himself, so he pretended to have read about it in an ancient text.

After all, the books in the Scripture Pavilion were as numerous as cattle; Su Xing believed his master could not possibly have read them all.

After pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued to ask:

"Disciple wants to know the source of this black qi and if there is a way to dispel it?"

Upon hearing Su Xing's words, Luo Ying smiled and said:

"Heh, you are indeed curious..."

After pondering for a moment, Luo Ying said:

"The spirit vein dragon has always been very mysterious... The black qi you described has never been encountered by me..."

"However, if it was because of being trapped in an array, leading to the birth of black qi... I do have some thoughts on the source of this black qi."

"The spirit vein dragon naturally loves freedom and is favored by heaven with unique advantages... If an evil cultivator disregards heaven and forcibly imprisons a spirit vein dragon, it might lead to the interference of a world's will in some place..."

"Moreover, the grievance of the spirit vein dragon accumulates and cannot dissipate... thus forming this black qi!"
