On the other end of the phone, Lu Yuanwu was momentarily stunned before he nodded and spoke:
“I can give you the coordinates of that end-of-the-law era instance, but the Luotian Meeting instance was already closed three years ago, and no one can enter it anymore…”
Upon hearing this, Su Xing was taken aback, then he quickly realized something.
If it was three years ago in the simulator, that meant there were still three years until the closure of the Luo Tian Meeting instance in the real world.
Su Xing had every opportunity to explore that instance.
So, Su Xing said:
“It doesn’t matter if it’s closed, just send me the coordinates for both instances!”
After hearing this, Lu Yuanwu nodded and added a reminder:
“Sure, but although the native strength within that end-of-the-law era instance isn’t strong, it still poses some danger to you. It would be best if you have two Heavenly King level powerhouses to protect you.”
After hearing that, Su Xing agreed and then hung up the call.
Before long, Lu Yuanwu sent over the coordinates of both instances.
Su Xing was delighted when he saw them.
What a coincidence, both instances were located within Kyoto City. If Su Xing had the time, he could definitely try entering the instances.
However, the end-of-the-law era instance still posed certain dangers to Su Xing, so he decided it would be better to wait until his cultivation level had broken through before going there.
Quickly, an hour passed, the immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing’s consciousness returned to the real world.
The real world.
Su Xing lay in his dormitory, casually picking up a cup of cola and taking a gulp, feeling as if everything was like a dream.
“Immersive simulation… what a fantastic experience! It’s definitely a great opportunity to gain some insights and information…”
Su Xing took a deep breath and it took a long while for him to come back to his senses.
After adjusting his mindset, Su Xing chose to continue the simulation.
[In your dormitory, you obtained the coordinates of the two instances from Lu Yuanwu.]
[You called over two Heavenly King level powerhouses and told them you needed quiet when refining elixirs, insisting that no one should disturb you and they should not approach your dormitory.]
[The two Heavenly King level powerhouses treated you with great respect and hastily nodded in agreement.]
[After making sure nobody was spying around, you entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land.]
[You spent two hours refining a batch of Organ Refining Pills, and you used the rest of the time for cultivation.]
[You insisted on eating Spirit Rice every day and consumed a large number of Spirit Chicken eggs to replenish your physical strength, which rapidly enhanced your Body Refinement Cultivation Level. Furthermore, you spent several hours daily using Spirit Stones for cultivation.]
[In the seventh year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level broke through to the Great Perfection of the Bone Forging Realm, but your Qi Refining Cultivation remained at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm!]
[In the eighth year, you practiced diligently, and your cultivation made significant progress, but the spiritual energy inside your body was still not enough to allow you to break through to the Golden Core Stage.]
[In the ninth year, you attempted to refine a lower grade elixir called the Essence-Nourishing Pill, which not only could strengthen a cultivator’s Divine Sense but also had a remarkable effect on purifying the spiritual energy within the body, helping you to break through to the Golden Core Stage.]
[Among the materials for refining the Essence-Nourishing Pill, only one called the Essence-Nourishing Herb was rare. Luckily, you had planted many Essence-Nourishing Herbs in advance, and you began to try to refine the Essence-Nourishing Pill.]
[Having mastered the methods to refine more than ten kinds of ungraded elixirs and the method to refine the Organ Refining Pill, you could be considered a novice in the realm of alchemy; thus, you made rapid progress in the alchemy technique for the Essence-Nourishing Pill.]
[Every day, you spent two hours refining Organ Refining Pills to complete the tasks for the Great Xia Military, and another two hours cultivating. Aside from that, almost all your time was spent on refining the Essence-Nourishing Pill.]
[In the first month, you attempted to refine the Essence-Nourishing Pill twenty-eight times in total, of which only one batch was successful, while the remaining twenty-seven batches failed.]
[In the third month, you did not lose confidence and strived even harder, making swift progress. You refined thirty batches of Essence-Nourishing Pills, of which a full five batches were successful.]
[In the sixth month, you continued to refine the Essence-Nourishing Pills, and by now your success rate had reached a high of fifty percent, successfully refining five out of every ten batches of Essence-Nourishing Pills.]
[Unfortunately, the continuous alchemy over the past few months had depleted your previously accumulated stock of Essence-Nourishing Herbs. Now that you have run out of Essence-Nourishing Herbs, you can no longer continue with alchemy.]
[Fortunately, in the past six months, you have accumulated enough Essence-Nourishing Pills to purify your spiritual energy, and you are confident that your cultivation can break through to the Golden Core Realm.]
[However, you do not want to break through to the Golden Core Realm directly, for that would only result in the weakest Golden Core. According to the description in the Changchun Technique, there are three grades of Golden Core quality: lower grade Golden Core, middle grade Golden Core, and upper grade Golden Core.]
[So, you began to continuously refine and compress the spiritual energy within your body; the whole process was extremely painful, but your determination was astonishing, and you persisted through gritted teeth.]
[In the tenth year, throughout the year, you tirelessly refined the spiritual energy within your body. You could feel the quality of your spiritual energy becoming more and more pure, and so you began to try taking Essence-Nourishing Pills.]
[According to the descriptions in the Li Fire Alchemy, the Essence-Nourishing Pill was different from the Organ Refining Pill. The Organ Refining Pill was more violent and intense, posing a risk of body damage or even death to cultivators with insufficient constitution. However, the Essence-Nourishing Pill was much gentler, and even cultivators in the Qi Refinement Realm could take it without any harm.]
[You took out a jade box that you had customized yourself, which could extend the potency of elixirs and slow the rate at which their properties dissipated. This jade box held over a hundred finished Essence-Nourishing Pills, the accumulation of your efforts over the past several months.]
[You took out an Essence-Nourishing Pill and swallowed it; its medicinal property was indeed gentle. You just felt a comfortable surge throughout your body, as if your spiritual energy was continually being washed by a fresh breeze, becoming increasingly condensed.]
[After spending several hours absorbing the medicinal power of the Essence-Nourishing Pill, you carefully observed the changes within your body. You discovered that the total amount of your spiritual energy had increased by about one percent, and the quality of your spiritual energy had also improved by one percent.]
[Overjoyed, you took an Essence-Nourishing Pill every day for the next three months. You felt the spiritual energy within your body was continuous and unending, and your mana had become more than twice as robust as before. Although your cultivation level was still at Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm, your strength had at least doubled!]
Su Xing paused in shock when he saw this—having the same cultivation but with strength increased several times over!
“It seems my previous cultivation was still not solid enough. As expected, the path of cultivation requires continuous exploration…”
“However, the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm is already several times stronger than a silver-level professional… Now that my strength has doubled several times over, doesn’t that mean I’m now comparable to a gold-tier professional?”
With a thought, Su Xing realized that when he breaks through to the Golden Core Realm, he might be equivalent to an ordinary Master Level professional. By then, he could completely explore the instance of the waning era of magic.
Su Xing’s heart leaped, and he continued to choose to simulate further.
[In the twelfth year, after two years of cultivation, you felt your cultivation becoming more consolidated, with a sense of impending breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm…]
