Translator: 549690339
Su Xing took a deep breath; he had had such a premonition before.
And at this moment, he was ninety percent sure that the version of him in the simulator would indeed act according to his ideas in reality.
Su Xing continued to simulate.
[In this year, because your cultivation level was low, your graduation was delayed.]
[You had anticipated this and devoted all your energy to making money.]
[You borrowed a large sum of money from your good brother Yu Yan and set up an equipment store in Kyoto, specializing in selling equipment to low-level professionals.]
[Because you had a bit of a reputation at school and were highly trusted, many freshmen were willing to buy your equipment.]
[While leading dungeons and leveling up newcomers, you also flipped low-level equipment, and in just three years, you made a fortune.]
[In the fifth year, your net worth had broken ten billion, and your business of selling equipment was no longer limited to Kyoto. You established the Tarot Society, opened stores throughout Great Xia Country, and focused on Jinling City in Jiangnan Province.]
[You instructed your subordinates to scout for information about Spirit Stones, but there was no news.]
[One day, Wang Qingxuan found you.]
[She brought you half of the Changchun Technique, but you told her you didn’t need this half of the technique, you wanted her to help you find the other half.]
[Although Wang Qingxuan was puzzled, she agreed.]
[After one night, Wang Qingxuan disappeared again, and you didn’t ask too much and continued focusing on making money and growing your business.]
[Because of your benevolent appearance and credibility in the business world, you secured several big orders, quickly doubling your net worth.]
[You were expelled from Kyoto Polytechnic, but you weren’t sad, wholeheartedly developing your own business.]
[In the seventh year, you felt a premonition and knew that your sister was going to Demon-Subduing Pass dungeon.]
[Knowing that you couldn’t prevent it from happening, you chose to return to your hometown and devotedly spent a month with your parents and Su Nianan.]
[A month later, you attended Su Nianan’s funeral, feeling grief deep in your heart.]
[After the funeral, you returned to Kyoto City and continued to run your business.]
[One day, you received news that a Grandmaster Level expert in Jinling City possessed a treasured item known as a Spirit Stone.]
Here it comes!
Su Xing grew excited at this development—the Spirit Stone was key to whether he could cultivate or not!
[You rushed to Jinling City overnight and met with the Grandmaster Level expert.]
[The Grandmaster Level expert, who believed in Buddha, took a liking to you and hoped to have a deeper conversation.]
[You glanced at her face, and although she was nearly forty, she had taken excellent care of herself and appeared to be only in her thirties, with a certain charm.]
[You stayed in Jinling City for seven days, became friends who could talk about anything, and learned that her name was Jin Congxue.]
[You learned that she had a total of three Spirit Stones, and you decided to buy them for three hundred million.]
[But she shook her head and said that since you were friends, she would sell them to you at a friendship price of thirty million.]
[You obtained the Spirit Stones from Jin Congxue, returned to your residence exhilarated, and prepared to absorb the Spirit Stone with your cultivation technique.]
[You successfully absorbed a trace of Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stone, and you were overjoyed, proving that you truly could succeed in cultivation.]
[Over the next three days, you absorbed half of a Spirit Stone, and discovered that your cultivation level had broken through to the second layer of Qi Refinement!]
[You resisted the urge and saved the two and a half Spirit Stones and chose not to continue cultivating.]
Su Xing, after seeing the simulation information, excitedly clenched his fists.
Success! Now that he possessed the Spiritual Root, Spirit Stones, and a cultivation technique, he could finally successfully cultivate!
Su Xing couldn’t wait to bring the Spirit Stones out of the simulation but still patiently chose to continue simulating.
[You are exceptionally surprised after your cultivation progress advances, and you seek out Jin Congxue again, asking her how she obtained these Spirit Stones.]
[Jin Congxue doesn’t hide anything from you, telling you that she acquired the Spirit Stones six years ago, from an instance known as “Qingyun Spirit Field.”]
[She had entered the instance and helped an old man with farming for a week, and as a reward, she received a bag of Spirit Rice and three Spirit Stones.]
Spirit Field, Spirit Rice, Spirit Stones…
Su Xing’s eyes widened, without a doubt, the instance Jin Congxue entered was definitely related to “cultivation”.
“An instance related to cultivation… Indeed, it all makes sense now!”
Su Xing finally understood where the Cultivation Technique and the Spirit Stones came from – they originated from those cultivation instances!
It’s just that instances related to cultivation must be of a high level, and he was completely unable to access them at the moment.
Su Xing patiently continued reading.
[You realize the importance of this instance to you and eagerly ask Jin Congxue for the location of the instance.]
[Jin Congxue shakes her head slightly, saying that the instance of Qingyun Spirit Field had long been closed, and she was the only professional who had entered it.]
[Jin Congxue says that at the time, the NPC old man in the instance told her she lacked the talent for cultivation, otherwise, she could have received an opportunity.]
[After hearing this, you are extremely excited and hastily ask Jin Congxue exactly when and where she entered the instance!]
[After thinking for a moment, she says that it was in late November of the New Era year 2023 when she stumbled upon the instance outside the western part of Jinling City. The instance only existed for seven days.]
Su Xing was taken aback when he read this, glancing at the time displayed on his phone.
New Era year 2023, October 7th, 14:31.
“Hiss~”
Su Xing took a deep breath – this proved that in the real world, the instance named “Qingyun Spirit Field” had not yet commenced, and he still had the chance to enter that cultivation instance!
“No rush… With over a month until the instance opens, the most important thing during this time is to increase my own strength!”
Through Jin Congxue, Su Xing knew that to gain more opportunities in that instance, one must possess the talent for cultivation, known as the Spiritual Root.
Isn’t this a stroke of luck?
Su Xing possesses a talent called “Bearer of the Spiritual Root”!
Therefore, all Su Xing needed to do was to head to Jinling City by mid-November!
[You continue to operate your equipment trading business as usual, even establishing the Tarot Society’s second base in Jinling City.]
[While managing the shop, you haven’t neglected the investigation for the whereabouts of the Spirit Stones.]
[Unfortunately, you haven’t obtained more information on Spirit Stones. However, with Jin Congxue’s connections, you gained more networking resources, and your equipment store’s business thrived.]
[Three years later, you became a well-known tycoon in Jinling City, and because of Jin Congxue, even Grandmaster level professionals treated you with courtesy.]
[That year, Fatty Yu died, and you attended his funeral.]
[Another year went by, and with your foresight into market fluctuations, you accumulated a large amount of potion-type items and made a fortune. Your net worth reached fifty billion.]
[One day, Jin Congxue approached you looking somewhat uneasy.]
[Jin Congxue told you that she had been summoned. The pressure at the front lines was increasing, so she had to head to Demon-Subduing Pass.]
Su Xing was utterly stunned upon reading this; the Demon-Subduing Pass again!
It seemed the Demon-Subduing Pass was like a curse.
Su Nianan, his little sister; Yu Yan, his good brother… and now even Jin Congxue was being sent to the Demon-Subduing Pass?
[You don’t want her to go to the Demon-Subduing Pass, but she tells you she has to go, that it is the duty of every Grandmaster level professional and above.]
[You instead begin to inquire about intelligence regarding the Demon-Subduing Pass.]
