Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[Under the guidance of the Dragon Protector, you quickly besieged the mysterious rank Void Spirit from both sides.]

[Of course, you didn't reveal all your strength, being constantly vigilant against the Dragon Protector's possible sneak attack.]

[The Dragon Protector did the same.]

[Even though both of you had your own schemes, in the end, the mysterious rank Void Spirit was thoroughly vanquished by your combined efforts.]

[Soon, it was time to divide the spoils from the mysterious rank Void Spirit.]

[Your mind was on guard against the Dragon Protector...]

[Sure enough, just as you expected, the Dragon Protector launched a sneak attack on you!]

[Despite being prepared, you never imagined that the Dragon Protector actually possessed a Divine Sense attack technique!]

[This meant that his strength alone was enough to kill the mysterious rank Void Spirit!]

[Under the Dragon Protector's Divine Sense assault, you kept retreating...]

[Fortunately, your own Divine Sense was also very powerful, comparable to the late stage of the Return to Void Realm.]

[Although your Divine Sense was weakened by the sneak attack, you ultimately escaped the Dragon Protector's pursuit...]

[In the end, you left the Void Domain, and your Divine Sense returned to your body.]

[After being gravely injured by the Dragon Protector's sneak attack, your Divine Sense was seriously weakened and in a critical state.]

[If it were an ordinary Return to Void cultivator, it would probably take decades to recover.]

[Fortunately, you still had quite a few Soul Condensing Pills and mind-nourishing elixirs, which you took every day to start healing.]

[Thus, three years slowly passed.]

[In the tenth year, your Divine Sense injury finally healed, but you didn't recklessly enter the Void Domain again; instead, you prepared to enhance your Qi Refining cultivation level!]

Su Xing sighed and said:

"Indeed, none of the cultivators who have survived the last days are simple!"

"This damned Dragon is truly cunning, obviously capable of killing the mysterious rank Void Spirit alone, but he pretended to be weak, hiding his Divine Sense attack technique!"

"Even though I was prepared, I was still caught by his sneak attack, and my Divine Sense was severely injured..."

Nevertheless, although he was injured and rested for three years from this experience, Su Xing grew to understand the treachery within the Cultivation World even more.

He also learned the secrets and situations within the Void Domain, and overall, it wasn't a loss.

"Although I was ambushed in the simulation... in the real world, the enemy is exposed, and I am hidden!"

"This damned Dragon still doesn't know of my existence, so I have an absolutely advantageous position!"

Su Xing's lips curved slightly upwards.

Though setbacks followed him in the simulation, in the real world, the advantage was his!

"There's no rush to enter the Void Domain again. Perhaps after learning a Divine Sense attack technique, I can have another go at that damned Dragon!"

"And right now, I still have plenty of spirit stone resources in the simulation, and ample time... I can just take this opportunity to improve my cultivation level!"

"Just right, I can test the power of my triple line mutated Heavenly Spirit Root!"

With that thought, Su Xing's gaze turned towards the simulation panel.

[You went to the Immortal Martial Era Instance and collected three fractured jades, discovering the Wan Mu Sect's relics.]

[After defeating the Living Dead Puppet, you entered the core area of the relic and took all the spirit stones stored there.]

[You didn't disturb the slumbering True Person Wan Mu, knowing that you were no match for him.]

[You glanced at the trapped Spirit Dragon; you really wanted to rescue it and make it yours, but you knew that doing so would surely alarm the slumbering True Person Wan Mu.]

[And with your current strength, you were far from being his match.]

[You also didn't go to the relics of the Five Elements Mountain, because you were still no match for the Living Dead Puppet there.]

[You returned to the real world, entering the Spirit Field Cave to start your cultivation.]

[Now, you have nearly five hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones and more than a million drops of Spiritual Liquid!]

[With such an amount, you could cultivate for a long time.]

[In the Spirit Field Cave, you drank a small sip of Spiritual Liquid (a thousand drops), then sat cross-legged and began cultivating.]

[The advantage of the Heavenly Spirit Root was fully evident at this moment.]

[Your dantian inhaled like a torrent, quickly digesting the Spiritual Power converted from the Spiritual Liquid; Thousand Flames Art was furiously circulating, speeding up the absorption of the Spiritual Liquid.]

[Compared with spirit stones, Spiritual Liquid was much easier to absorb.]

[In just two hours, you transformed all the spiritual energy from this sip of Spiritual Liquid into your own cultivation level.]

[You felt your cultivation level make slight progress.]

[You then continued to try cultivating with low-grade spirit stones, and you found that because of their higher impurity content, you could only absorb about a hundred of them per day.]

[If you absorbed mid-grade spirit stones, you could absorb 12 per day.]

[With high-grade spirit stones, you could absorb two per day.]

Su Xing did a quick calculation in his mind.

"Ten low-grade spirit stones' worth of spiritual energy is equivalent to one mid-grade spirit stone..."

"And I can absorb 12 mid-grade spirit stones per day, or 100 low-grade spirit stones, which means I'm cultivating about 20 percent faster than if I were only using low-grade spirit stones."

"As for one high-grade spirit stone being worth 100 low-grade ones, I can absorb two a day, which is the equivalent of 200 low-grade spirit stones!"

"Hisss~ This speed is double that of cultivating solely with low-grade spirit stones!"

Su Xing couldn't help but feel astounded inside.

High, mid, and low-grade spirit stones, with high-grade having the least impurities, were naturally easier to absorb, which effectively increased Su Xing's cultivation speed!

And low-grade spirit stones, being the most impure, thus had the slowest cultivation speed...

Of course, it was still many times faster than direct absorption of Spiritual Energy...

"So... what about the speed of absorbing Spiritual Liquid?"
