NOVEL WEB Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Blue Talent!
Su Xing looked at the bottles of Nourishing Face Pills in front of him, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
After finishing the preparation of the Nourishing Face Pills, Su Xing skillfully took a ladle of spring water from the well.
He drank a big gulp of sweet, cool spring water, feeling incredibly refreshed. This spring water tasted even better than the best beverage in the real world.
With the spring water in his stomach, Su Xing not only felt revitalized, but even his depleted Spiritual Energy began to recover faster.
After quenching his thirst with the spring water, Su Xing spent another hour farming.
First, he watered the Spirit Grains in his Spirit Field, then took care of the medicated field he had planted earlier.
The herbs in the field had already begun to sprout. Su Xing had planted over an acre of medicinal herbs, which would take years, even up to ten years, to be truly effective, but were absolutely necessary in the simulator.
After taking care of the Spirit Field, Su Xing cleared a small patch of land to plant some new spiritual seeds.
Most of these seeds were left by Qing Yunzi. Although Su Xing didn't recognize many of them, it didn't stop him from planting them first anyway.
The other seeds were carefully selected by Su Xing from the medicinal herb market; these spiritual seeds often had more spirituality. Planting them in the Spirit Field could result in usable spiritual medicine in one or two years.
Though their effects were not as potent as those left by Qing Yunzi, they could be cultivated faster and in greater quantities.
After two hours of hard work, Su Xing felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Instead of resting, he went to the coop he had built.
Dozens of Spirit Chickens had grown fatter and more robust after more than a month of breeding.
A few Spirit Chickens had already started incubating eggs; the second generation of Spirit Chickens was about to be born.
Su Xing skillfully collected a few eggs and some wild vegetables from outside the Spirit Field, cooking up a large plate of stir-fried Spirit Chicken eggs with wild vegetables.
He took out some spring water and made a pot of spirit rice.
The rice steamed with spring water and the stir-fried vegetables both smelled incredibly fragrant, making one's mouth water.
Su Xing ate the spirit rice in big mouthfuls, tasting the eggs and vegetables, feeling even more satisfied.
"Burp~"
After eating, Su Xing let out a comfortable burp and muttered,
"Ah, if only life could always be this simple and plain."
Su Xing shook his head slightly. Although he wanted to live a laid-back life, farming and raising chickens every day, the event a decade or so later loomed like the Sword of Damocles, always threatening to drop, leaving Su Xing deeply uneasy.
After giving himself some pressure and mental reinforcement, Su Xing felt full of motivation again and started a new round of alchemy.
"Hmm, making more Nourishing Face Pills can also help save money... then I'll have more energy points!"
Su Xing thought to himself.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
Su Xing handed over two hundred Nourishing Face Pills, which he had prepared in advance, to the trusted confidant sent by Jin Congxue and received the white equipment worth one billion Great Xia Coins that Jin Congxue had prepared for him.
Su Xing used the simulator to absorb the eleven thousand pieces of white equipment, converting them into simulated energy.
In this way, Su Xing's simulated energy surged to a high point, reaching a total of eight hundred thousand points!
The astronomical increase in energy points brought Su Xing a great sense of security.
New Era, December 31, 2023.
On the last day of 2023, Su Xing began his seventeenth life simulation.
In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, Su Xing took a bite of a boiled Spirit Chicken egg and activated the simulator.
"Begin simulation!"
[This time, it will consume 1,700 points of energy. Remaining energy points: 803,000 points. Remaining simulation times: unlimited.]
[Simulation begins!]
[It costs 100 points of energy to draw a white talent, 1,000 points of energy to draw a green talent, 10,000 points of energy to draw a blue talent. Do you want to draw?]
"Draw green talent... Huh, wait, why is there a blue talent now?"
Su Xing initially intended to choose a green talent by instinct, but he noticed that he could now draw a talent of a higher level.
So Su Xing asked curiously,
"Why did a blue talent suddenly appear? Why didn't it appear before?"
Su Xing asked casually but unexpectedly got a response.
[Ding, previously, the host was too poor. Now you have enough energy and can naturally activate the next level of talent...]
Su Xing: ???
Damn, even the system discriminated against the poor these days?
Despite his dissatisfaction, Su Xing still chose the blue talent.
"I want to choose the blue talent."
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the blue talent: Sword Dao Genius!]
[Sword Dao Genius: Blue talent. Your understanding of the sword surpasses that of ordinary people. Your cultivation speed in the Sword Dao is ten times faster than ordinary people's.]
Su Xing paused upon seeing this talent. He seemed to have drawn a green talent named Sword Dao Prodigy before.
And this Sword Dao Genius in front of him seemed to be an advanced version of Sword Dao Prodigy?
"Damn it, why is it so keen on making me a sword cultivator? But I don't have a sword manual! How can I practice swordsmanship? Do I have to practice the Sunflower Sword Manual?"
Su Xing glanced down at himself, then shook his head.
It's too big; cutting it off would cause him to bleed to death!
Su Xing felt a little helpless. He didn't expect that his first blue talent would turn out to be such a "useless" one.
Su Xing decided to continue the simulation.
[In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realized you were in a simulation. In this instance, you decided to further approach the Descending Sect, seeking an opportunity to obtain the second half of the Changchun Technique.]
[You did not act rashly. You continued your daily alchemy practice and maintained occasional contact with Wang Qingxuan.]
[Half a year passed this way. One day, Wang Qingxuan came to find you.]
[Wang Qingxuan told you that a mysterious organization had invited her to join them.]
[You understood in your heart that it was the Descending Sect making a move. The night after, Wang Qingxuan dropped out of school.]
[You asked Wang Qingxuan for her contact information and continued your alchemy practice.]
[Since you planned to approach the Descending Sect, you needed to show your value.]
[You knew that after approaching the Descending Sect and revealing your abilities, you would face two extreme outcomes. The first possibility: they might make you an unfeeling alchemy machine. The second possibility: they would treat you as an honored guest and might even give you the second half of the Changchun Technique.]
[You patiently waited and diligently improved your cultivation.]
[In the second year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level increased to the Third Layer of the Bone Forging Realm, with no progress in Qi Refining Cultivation.]
[In the third year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level advanced to the Fifth Layer of the Bone Forging Realm, while your Qi Refining Cultivation remained at the First Layer of the Golden Core Stage.]
[In the fourth year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level broke through to the Seventh Layer of the Bone Forging Realm, while your Qi Refining Cultivation stayed at the First Layer of the Golden Core Stage.]
[In the fifth year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level reached the Ninth Layer of the Bone Forging Realm. Meanwhile, the Essence-Nourishing Herb you had previously planted matured. You spent over a month refining two hundred Essence-Nourishing Pills, aiming to improve the quality of your Spiritual Energy.]
[Half a year later, your cultivation advanced to the Second Layer of the Golden Core Stage, and you felt the quality of your Spiritual Power significantly improve, making your Mana even more profound.]
[One day, Wang Qingxuan came to find you...]
