Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

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

Soul Searching Technique!

This was definitely a spell that only a Cultivator would know!

But in this world, he was clearly the only one with the Profession of a Cultivator.

After all, a Cultivator was the only hidden profession!

But why then, could this Dragon Protector use a spell exclusive to Cultivators?

"Wait... is this Dragon Protector really a Profession User?"

Su Xing's mind stirred. In this world, he was indeed the only one with the Profession of a Cultivator, but he was definitely not the only Cultivator.

Not to mention, Su Xing's master, Qing Yunzi, didn't he come from the Cultivators in the Qingyun Sect dungeon?

"So... is it possible that this Protector is a character from some dungeon?"

The more Su Xing thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. After all, those foreign demonic beasts came from other dungeons yet could invade the real world.

And this Dragon Protector, if he came from some dungeon, being a native of that dungeon made sense.

After all, the connection between the Descending Sect and the foreign races was very tight. It was possible!

Su Xing took a deep breath. The secrets of the Descending Sect were growing more numerous. Su Xing himself felt an involuntary shiver of dread.

Not only could they connect with foreign races, but they could also even ally with some NPCs from dungeons.

The Descending Sect's depth was beyond what he had imagined.

"Fortunately, I haven't tangled with the Descending Sect in the real world... otherwise, I'd have more lives than I could afford to lose!"

Su Xing felt a bit relieved, then thought again:

"However, the Descending Sect is indeed a good place to farm experience. As long as I don't personally enter the sect's Treasure Vault, I can still gain a lot of benefits."

Su Xing lightly shook his head and turned his focus to the simulation rewards.

[Sword Dao Genius]: Blue talent, priced at 100,000 energy points.

[Bone Tempering Great Perfection]: Cultivation Level, priced at 11,000 energy points.

[Seven Years of Alchemy Experience]: Includes your seven years of alchemical insights, containing mastery of Essence-Nourishing Pill, Spirit-Nourishing Pill, and other pill recipes, priced at 70,000 energy points.

[Third Layer of the Golden Core Stage]: Third layer Qi Refining Cultivation of the Golden Core Stage. Meanwhile, due to continuous consumption of Essence-Nourishing Pills, the spirit pill in your Dantian has become more solid, nearing top-grade spirit pill quality. Priced at 200,000 energy points.

[Condensing Pill Technique]: A secret method of condensing pills, the highest can form a Nine Revolution Golden Core, extremely valuable for Golden Core Stage cultivators, priced at 100,000 energy points.

[One Hundred and Twenty Spiritual Medicines]: Priced at 600,000 energy points.

Looking at the five rewards in front of him, Su Xing fell into deep thought.

First, the Condensing Pill Technique was a reward he must choose. After all, he had risked his life to obtain this secret method. If he didn't choose it, in the next simulation he'd have to go back to the sect's Treasure Vault, essentially dying again.

And the option of one hundred and twenty spiritual medicines could be ruled out because it was excessively expensive, and Su Xing did not need highly advanced spiritual medicines for refining the Nourishing Face Pill right now.

After hesitating for a long time, Su Xing finally chose seven years of alchemy experience from the choices of alchemy experience, cultivation level, and talent.

For the same reason, the talent of being a Sword Dao Genius, although attractive, was of no use to him now as he didn't possess any Sword Cultivator techniques, essentially making it wasted.

"I choose seven years of alchemy experience and the secret method Condensing Pill Technique!"

As soon as Su Xing's words fell, a prompt echoed in his ear.

[Ding, you have chosen to bring out seven years of alchemy experience, costing 70,000 energy points, leaving 623,000 points remaining.]

[Ding, you have chosen to bring out the secret method Condensing Pill Technique, costing 100,000 energy points, leaving 523,000 points remaining.]

A multitude of alchemical memories flooded Su Xing's mind. He felt his grasp of Essence-Nourishing Pill and Spirit-Nourishing Pill progress to a new level.

Opening the Profession User panel to check, sure enough, Su Xing had already mastered the Minor Achievement Level method of refining the Spirit-Nourishing Pill, and the Essence-Nourishing Pill had reached the Great Achievement Level.

At the same time, a simplistic ancient secret book appeared in Su Xing's hand.

On the cover, three large characters were written in elaborate script: Condensing Pill Technique.

Su Xing eagerly opened the Condensing Pill Technique and began to study its contents. Two hours later, Su Xing slowly lifted his head, a smile emerging on his face.

Learning the Condensing Pill Technique was not difficult. It took only a few days to master this secret method successfully.

But the challenge lay in the continuous process of refining and condensing the Golden Core!

According to the descriptions in the Condensing Pill Technique, ordinary cultivators could, at most, achieve the middle-grade Golden Core layer in their lifetime.

Dual spiritual root cultivators could possibly achieve top-grade Golden Core.

As for the Nine Revolution Golden Core, only single spiritual root cultivators had the chance to form it!

The Condensing Pill Technique recorded:

"In the immortal era, year 78369, during the cultivation peak, all sects in the world could learn the Condensing Pill Technique and condense the supreme Nine Revolution Golden Core. Yet among millions of cultivators in our realm, only twenty or thirty people could condense the Nine Revolution Golden Core in a year, slightly fewer than in the ancient peak era."

This meant that in that year, the entire world had only twenty to thirty people condense the Nine Revolution Golden Core, a number achievable only during a peak era of cultivation.

The record of millions of cultivators probably indicated a vast number of cultivators, but the exact count of cultivators was unknown to Su Xing.

But based on Su Xing's estimation, perhaps only one cultivator in tens of thousands or millions could successfully condense a Nine Revolution Golden Core.

Of course, condensing a Nine Revolution Golden Core was not necessarily a good thing since it was extremely time-consuming!

According to the record, a Nine Revolution Golden Core had nine pill marks. On average, forming each pill mark took ten to several decades.

After cultivating the Condensing Pill Technique, the time to condense the core would be halved...

Even so, for those with mediocre talent, breaking through to the Nine Revolution Golden Core was still immensely challenging.

But Su Xing wasn't afraid!

What he lacked least was time. If one simulation failed, he'd do it twice, and if twice failed, then ten times!

In each simulation, without dying prematurely, Su Xing had fifteen years of cultivation time, so he could definitely condense a Nine Revolution Golden Core!

Most importantly, the description of the Nine Revolution Golden Core in the Condensing Pill Technique was way too tempting.

"Those who condense the Nine Revolution Golden Core, fighting Nascent Soul ancestors across tiers would be as easy as drinking water or eating!"

This meant if you successfully condensed a Nine Revolution Golden Core, fighting across tiers would become as easy as eating and drinking.

Such a huge temptation, how could Su Xing resist?

"First, master the Condensing Pill Technique, then condense a top-grade Golden Core in the simulation. With repeated efforts, eventually I should be able to bring the Nine Revolution Golden Core out."

Su Xing set this small plan for himself in his heart.

"I don't lack energy for now. As long as I can refine enough Essence-Nourishing Pills, replenishing nearly one million points of energy per week isn't an issue... Besides, once the Tarot Society is established, the number of white-quality gear will increase, allowing weekly earnings of even millions of energy points!"

Su Xing clenched his fists tightly, feeling his future was incredibly bright.

All he needed to do now was lay low and develop himself steadily. With enough energy, he'd have enough cultivation!
