Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

"A self-help guru?"

Su Xing stroked his chin after seeing this talent and muttered:

"This talent is quite interesting, isn't it?"

"So, it's basically a master of deception... capable of fooling the target?"

"Just not sure how effective this thing actually is, depends on the target's strength and status..."

Su Xing couldn't quite grasp the specific effects of the talent and decided to try it out in the simulation.

Target looks at the simulation panel.

[In the midst of the Spirit Field Cave, you realize you are in a simulation.]

[You leave the Spirit Field Cave and return to the real world.]

[You plan to test the effect of being a self-help guru.]

[You walk around the school, randomly pick a student on the path, and tell him you are his long-lost mother.]

[The student looks up at you, a puzzled look in his eyes, curses at you for being sick, and then turns and leaves.]

[You are dissatisfied with the performance of the self-help guru talent and decide to find two more targets to try.]

[You pick another passing student, this time telling him you are his long-lost half-brother from the same mother.]

[And you detail a whole lot, from the neighbor Old Wang cuckolding his dad, to his mom getting pregnant... to you being abandoned on a bench in the park...]

[Throughout the process, you speak with incredible detail, as though it all actually happened.]

[In the end, the student believes you, collapsing emotionally into sobs and tears, hugging your thighs and calling you brother.]

[Seeing more and more onlookers gathering around, you hurry away pretending something came up.]

[Months later, a figure searching for a long-lost brother is often seen in the school...]

[After fooling that student, you find a Heavenly King Level teacher in the school.]

[You tell him that his father has just passed away and that you have come especially to convey the news.]

[You talk about his father's cause of death and the time of death as if it were all true.]

[In the end, the teacher breaks down in tears, thanks you, and then runs toward the principal's office of the school.]

[Later, you learn that the teacher's father is a Martial Emperor Level powerhouse, and also one of the school's vice-principals.]

[Thus, you spend three days testing out the effects of the new talent.]

[A few days later, the Tarot Society's mine instance unfolds successfully, bringing you a lot of exotic metals each week.]

[After confirming there are no issues with the Tarot Commerce Association, you prepare to join the Descending Sect.]

Su Xing looks at this, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

"So, this art of deception... the self-help guru talent isn't omnipotent after all, its implementation still requires many conditions."

"For instance, the student I found at the beginning, though probably only silver or gold level... because what I said was too outrageous, the genders didn't match, and the age gap was too large... it defied common sense, so I was seen through at a glance..."

After a pause, Su Xing analyzes further.

"However, once I fleshed out the logic in my explanation, the chances of successfully fooling someone with the self-help guru talent increased significantly!"

"Even the story of a long-lost brother or a Martial Emperor father dying on the spot, people would believe it based just on a single encounter..."

"Tsk tsk~ this self-help guru really has something going for it!"

Su Xing muttered to himself, feeling that he still hadn't fully tapped into the strong points of the self-help guru.

If he encountered logic that was very unreasonable... but Su Xing forcefully provided a set of logic, what would happen then?

Suddenly, Su Xing found the talent more interesting.

He looks at the simulation panel.

[You leave Kyoto and head to Shuangqing City in the southwest province.]

[Afterwards, you suppress your Divine Sense and cover the entire Shuangqing City, ultimately drawing out Damned Zong.]

[You tell Damned Zong that you are his long-lost father, going into detail about the reasons and process of separation, and with heavy heart express that you have been looking for him for thousands of years and finally found him.]

[Damned Zong looks puzzled after hearing your words, seemingly deep in thought.]

[Long after, a smile spreads across his face, and he says, "Elder, stop joking around."]

[Clearly, since the strength gap between the two of you isn't large and Damned Zong is naturally cautious, the talent activation fails.]

[After the failure, you feel no embarrassment, and you follow Damned Zong into joining the Descending Sect.]

[After joining the Descending Sect, you declare in front of all the followers that you have long aspired to join the Foreign Race and had long wished to submit to them.]

[For this, you didn't hesitate to travel thousands of miles, all to serve the Descending Sect, and you vow to lead the Sect to greater prosperity.]

[Your speech lasts a full three days, and many of the followers in the Descending Sect are moved by you, taking your words as gospel.]

[Even some followers contact you in private, hoping you can establish a fourth faction, aside from the "Natural Faction, Fanatic Faction, Coexistence Faction."]

[And they will charge ahead for you!]

[What you didn't expect is that there are not a few such believers, with even several hundred of them.]

[Later, even faction leaders come to you, hoping you will become a protector, and indicate that their positions will eventually be yours!]

[You are amazed by the power of the self-help guru talent and privately seek out Luo Shuying.]

[This time, you don't even utter the secret phrase, managing to convince Luo Shuying with just the story.]

[She completely believes you, and is moved by your countless journeys across timelines to save the world, hoping to do more for you.]

[With Luo Shuying's assistance, you quickly gather a large number of medicinal ingredients.]
