Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

The level ten Beast Speech talent exceeded Su Xing's expectations in this simulation.

First and foremost, it granted Su Xing the ability to communicate with Gu Insects during critical moments, which allowed him to turn danger into safety.

Secondly, the ability to communicate with Spirit Chickens enabled Su Xing to better breed them, thus improving the quality of both the eggs and the chicken soup.

In the future, this ability might even allow Su Xing to cultivate more useful spirit beasts.

Such a rare talent was hard to come by. If missed, who knew when he might acquire it again?

As for cultivation level, Su Xing's improvement in this simulation was limited and not necessary to choose.

After Su Xing made his choice, a system prompt rang in his ears.

"Ding, you have chosen to bring out the complete version of the Changchun Technique, costing 500,000 points of energy, leaving 193,000 points remaining."

"Ding, you have chosen to bring out the level ten Beast Speech, costing 100,000 points of energy, leaving 93,000 points remaining."

At the same time, a complete ancient manual appeared in Su Xing's hands, precisely the complete version of the Changchun Technique.

Su Xing sighed:

"The first half of the technique was only worth a mere three thousand points of energy, but the complete technique that allows cultivation up to the Return to Void Realm is worth half a million energy points."

Perhaps in the simulator's eyes, a fragmented technique sufficient for cultivating to the Golden Core Stage wasn't worth much, as it could only produce a cultivator in the Golden Core Stage at best.

But one that led to the Return to Void Realm was entirely different.

Of course, Su Xing suspected that the high value of 500,000 energy points was also because the Changchun Technique was part of a more powerful set, giving it such high worth.

Su Xing carefully leafed through the Changchun Technique and indeed found cultivation mantras for the Nascent Soul Stage in the latter half.

Besides the mantras, Su Xing also found notes left by earlier cultivators from the Changchun Sect, containing their cultivation experiences.

Su Xing felt as if he had found a supreme treasure, and this knowledge was immensely valuable to him.

Up to now, Su Xing had been cultivating through self-exploration. These experiences not only made his cultivation smoother but also helped him avoid many detours.

"So that's it. During the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, expanding the dantian is crucial to laying a solid foundation for forming a superior Golden Core."

Su Xing sighed. The experiences detailed methods of expanding the dantian, knowledge he had missed before, which might have slowed his progress in the Golden Core Stage.

"But there's still a remedy. According to these experiences, by investing more effort and time, one can directly enhance the quality of the Golden Core to superior, greatly accelerating cultivation speed..."

Su Xing pondered deeply, repeatedly perusing the cultivation experiences in the ancient manual and comparing them with his own practice. He felt immensely enriched.

After a while, Su Xing returned to his senses from his insights, and with renewed confidence, declared:

"If I can master all the experiences recorded in this book, my cultivation speed might increase by a third!"

An increase of a third was no small matter; it might save Su Xing considerable simulation time in the future.

Su Xing carefully put away the ancient manual and began to comprehend the second reward he had taken out, the level ten Beast Speech talent.

After much contemplation, Su Xing noticed no significant difference. Just as he began to feel puzzled, he suddenly heard a distant voice.

"Big Brother Chicken! Can I have some Spirit Rice... I don't need much, just two and a half grains!"

Hearing this voice, Su Xing was taken aback and looked toward the source.

He saw a few Spirit Chickens in his enclosed chicken farm, showing flattering expressions as if begging for more Spirit Rice.

Meanwhile, a proud and haughty rooster dismissively replied:

"Little Black, it's not that Big Brother Chicken doesn't want to share, but you guys aren't putting in enough effort! This world is survival of the fittest. Since I'm stronger, I naturally deserve more Spirit Rice..."

Upon hearing Big Brother Chicken's words, the smaller Spirit Chickens began trembling.

Su Xing witnessed the entire scene, a black line forming on his forehead.

"So that's why the Spirit Chickens' evolution has slowed recently. Turns out there's a bad influence among them! He dares call himself Big Brother Chicken? This is affecting my Spirit Chickens' breeding rate!"

"Looks like I'll have Spirit Chicken soup tonight..."

Without much hesitation, Su Xing picked up a knife and headed straight for Big Brother Chicken.

In a swift and practiced manner, he slaughtered, bled, and plucked the bird...

Su Xing drank Spirit Chicken soup while addressing the other Spirit Chickens:

"You are all equals! There's no such thing as Big Brother Chicken. If anyone tries to hinder others' evolution, they will be my enemy!"

Witnessing their strongest member reduced to a mere soup ingredient, the Spirit Chickens trembled in fear.

"Ah! There's only one true Big Brother Chicken in this world, and that's our great Master! From now on, I, Little Black, will defend Big Brother Chicken with my life!"

Seeing the Spirit Chickens' display of loyalty, another black line appeared on Su Xing's forehead.

So, I've become Big Brother Chicken?

Su Xing smirked. Nonetheless, over the past few months, the breeding rate of his Spirit Chickens wasn't slow.

Now the second generation of Spirit Chickens was slowly developing, providing Su Xing with a steady supply of Spirit Eggs daily, ranging from a few dozen to twenty or thirty at most.

Su Xing had so many Spirit Eggs that he couldn't finish them all. Moreover, Spirit Eggs were even more beneficial than Spirit Rice, constantly nourishing Su Xing's physical body, for just a modest amount of Spirit Rice in return.

In the next week, Su Xing crafted three hundred Nourishing Face Pills as usual. Beyond these, he also came up with the idea to create some low-grade healing pills and Essence-Nourishing Pills for future needs.

Lacking sufficiently aged spiritual medicines, Su Xing couldn't make Organ Refining Pills, and even the healing pills and Essence-Nourishing Pills only had one-tenth of the potency.

Even so, Essence-Nourishing Pills could directly enhance a cultivator's spiritual power and even a profession user's mental attributes.

Upon trying them, Su Xing found that after consuming several dozen low-grade Essence-Nourishing Pills, their effect wore off entirely, offering minimal improvement compared to true Essence-Nourishing Pills, which could continually strengthen a cultivator's spiritual energy.

However, these low-grade versions benefited from cheap materials and simple crafting methods, allowing Su Xing to produce hundreds in a day.

After developing the low-grade Essence-Nourishing Pills, Su Xing was pleasantly surprised to find his skill level in crafting these pills had elevated from great achievement to peak level.

This delighted Su Xing. At present, among the alchemy techniques he mastered, two kinds of pills had reached peak level.

These were the Nourishing Face Pill and the Essence-Nourishing Pill.

Without exception, Su Xing had improved both formulas, creating new versions of these pills.

"Could it be that to reach peak level in an alchemy technique, one must not only grasp the fundamentals but also have personal insights and even make their own improvements?"
