Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Chapter 225: Chapter 158: Dao of Arrays Genius Talent, Talent Lottery Pool Mechanism (5k)_2

[Damned Zong expressed his willingness to exchange magical techniques for the spiritual liquid in your possession. You felt a bit tempted, so you asked him what kind of techniques he had to offer.]

[Damned Zong took out techniques similar to the “Soul-Capturing Technique,” “Poison Heart Technique,” and “Blood Sacrifice Technique”.]

[These techniques were not only of low grade but also had considerable side effects and extremely vicious methods, often requiring sacrificial living souls.]

[Of course, you looked down on such techniques, but you knew Damned Zong would not sincerely trade with you and bring out his top items, so you had to give up.]

Su Xing saw this and slightly shook his head, snorting coldly:

“Damned Zong, you still want me to turn into an evil cultivator like you? Truly vicious!”

“But it doesn’t matter if you refuse to trade now… Once I kill you, all those treasures and techniques on you will be mine!”

Su Xing thought it didn’t matter whether a deal was made with Damned Zong or not.

Once he killed him in reality, the items in Damned Zong’s storage magical artifact would eventually belong to Su Xing.

“However, the value of this spiritual liquid is unexpectedly high… If I ever find the cultivation world, in this era of depleted spiritual energy, spiritual liquid could indeed trade for many treasures!”

Su Xing thought this way, his gaze turning towards the simulation panel.

[You and Damned Zong failed to make a deal, secretly coveting each other’s treasures while outwardly pretending to be friendly, as if you were lifelong best friends.]

[Over the next year, you spent most of your time cultivating in the Spirit Field Cave, either learning the Thousand Flames Art, enhancing your control over spiritual power, or refining elixirs.]

[During this year, you collected nearly fifty thousand drops of spiritual liquid.]

[You stored them in specially crafted small jade bottles, each containing ten thousand drops of spiritual liquid, about fifty milliliters each.]

[In the second year, your mastery of the Earth-Level technique Thousand Flames Art advanced to the second layer.]

[At the same time, you refined a large batch of elixirs, and most of the spiritual medicines from the Descending Sect’s treasure vault found their way into your pocket.]

[Believing the time was ripe, you defected from the Descending Sect with Luo Shuying.]

[You directly contacted the Great Xia Military. With the elixirs in hand and your own strength, your status within the Great Xia Military was extremely high.]

[Even though the Descending Sect wanted to hunt you down, they were powerless.]

[In the ensuing chaos, Damned Zong became the scapegoat and fled for his life.]

[In the third year, you refined tens of thousands of elixirs, strengthening the Great Xia Country with over ten thousand grandmaster-level cultivators.]

[In the same year, you reached the third layer of mastery in the Thousand Flames Art.]

[That year, your collection of spiritual liquid approached one hundred fifty thousand drops, yet you did not use a single drop, storing it all away.]

[Every day, aside from spending one hour collecting spiritual liquid, the rest of your time was dedicated to cultivating origin force and the Thousand Flames Art.]

[This provided several spare hours each day, so you decided to expand the Gathering Spirit Flower plantation to yield more spiritual liquid.]

[You planted five hundred Gathering Spirit Flower seeds, and merely tending to these seeds took several hours each day.]

[Any more, and your cultivation would be affected.]

[In the fourth year, your mastery of origin force saw a minor breakthrough, approaching the level of external release.]

[The spiritual energy armor surrounding your body became even sturdier, and the origin force within you grew more abundant.]

[By the end of the year, your stock of spiritual liquid reached two hundred thousand drops!]

[In the fifth year, the five hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers you planted matured, causing a slight increase in spiritual energy within the Spirit Field Cave.]

[Your weekly harvest of spiritual liquid reached approximately eleven hundred drops, totaling nearly sixty thousand drops for the year.]

[You planted another five hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers, awaiting their maturation in two years’ time.]

[In the sixth year, your mastery of the Earth-Level technique Thousand Flames Art saw another breakthrough, successfully reaching the fourth layer!]

[Unfortunately, your control over origin force remained stuck at the great perfection level of encircling grade. You were eager to achieve further breakthroughs.]

[That year, you collected nearly sixty thousand more drops of spiritual liquid, bringing your total to three hundred sixty thousand drops!]

[In the seventh year, the second batch of Gathering Spirit Flowers matured, and the spiritual energy content within the Spirit Field blessed land increased once again.]

[You harvested sixty-three thousand drops of spiritual liquid that year!]

[You skillfully planted a new batch of Gathering Spirit Flower seeds.]

[In the eighth year, you harvested sixty-three thousand drops of spiritual liquid, bringing your total to nearly four hundred ninety thousand drops.]

[In the ninth year, the new batch of Gathering Spirit Flowers matured, increasing the spiritual energy content in your Spirit Field blessed land even more.]

[Your annual spiritual liquid harvest increased again, now yielding sixty-four thousand drops.]

[However, you noticed that with the increasing number of Gathering Spirit Flowers, the spiritual energy in the Spirit Field blessed land hit a bottleneck.]

[It seemed to be stuck at the level of a primary cave heavens, and without a significant change, it would be hard for the Spirit Field Cave to transform.]

[Therefore, you stopped planting Gathering Spirit Flowers and focused on collecting spiritual liquid, devoting more effort to cultivating techniques and origin force.]

Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly.

The Gathering Spirit Flower, though a miraculous thing of the world, had limited capacity for enhancing the spiritual energy of a given space.

Unless the number of Gathering Spirit Flowers was vast enough, like the Luo Tian Sect with its one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers.

Such a massive quantity could possibly induce a qualitative change through sheer quantity, further elevating the level of the Spirit Field Cave.

Or perhaps setting up a large-scale Spirit Gathering Array in conjunction with high-level spirit veins could significantly enhance the quality of the spiritual energy, thereby leveling up the Spirit Field Cave.
