Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

```

"Indeed, I've slain that damned Zong again, and Luo Shuying still trusts me!"

Su Xing took a deep breath.

There were still eight days left until October 8th, and Su Xing could simulate at most one more time.

To ensure that nothing unexpected happened, Su Xing had to realistically experience killing damned Zong and the steps that followed as many times as possible.

His gaze turned to the simulation panel.

[After killing damned Zong, you encountered Luo Shuying.]

[With the bonus from your Success Master Talent, Luo Shuying completely trusted you.]

[You agreed to meet with Luo Shuying in a month, by which time she would bring Condensing Spirit Wood.]

[You returned to Kyoto, continued to improve your cultivation level, and practiced the Li Fire Technique.]

[A month later, you met Luo Shuying and joined the Descending Sect under her recommendation.]

[After joining the Descending Sect, you leveraged your Success Master Talent and instantly won over a large number of devoted followers.]

[You refined Soul Condensing Pills for Luo Shuying, helping her break through to a Legendary level.]

[Afterward, you stayed in the Descending Sect daily, filling your own coffers with many medicinal ingredients.]

[Every day, you only did three things: alchemy, cultivation, and practicing the Li Fire Technique...]

[In this way, two years quickly passed...]

[In the third year, bolstered by Spiritual Liquid and high-grade Spirit Stones, your cultivation level broke through to the fourth rank of Return to Void Realm!]

[You became a mid-phase cultivator in the Return to Void Realm!]

[At the same time, you felt the time was right, and you prepared to defect with Luo Shuying to join the Great Xia Military.]

[After joining the Great Xia Military, over twenty thousand members of the Descending Sect sought you out overnight, hoping for an explanation.]

[Using your Success Master Talent, you deceived them into becoming the Demon-Subduing Pass's fearless army that even the Demon Race dread...]

[Thereafter, you continued to refine elixirs daily, enhance your cultivation level, and practice the Li Fire Technique...]

[You took the time to visit the Immortal Martial Era Instance, found the relics of the Wan Mu Sect, and retrieved all the Spirit Stones and high-level spiritual medicines from it.]

[In the fourth year, you used up all the medicinal ingredients on hand, having refined more than two hundred thousand elixirs, adding many powerful warriors to the Great Xia Military.]

[You knew that with these resources, Demon-Subduing Pass could at least last until the twenty-fifth year, so you settled down and focused on practicing the Li Fire Technique and improving your cultivation level.]

[In the fifth year, you exhausted your last medium-grade Spirit Stone, and, having no choice, you began cultivating with low-grade Spirit Stones.]

[Cultivating with low-grade Spirit Stones was much slower, but your cultivation level still steadily grew.]

[That same year, through repeated alchemy and cultivation, your understanding of Li Fire Alchemy deepened further.]

[Thus, two more years slowly passed.]

[In the seventh year, your cultivation level remained stagnant at the fourth rank of Return to Void Realm, still a long way off from breaking through to the fifth rank.]

[The good news, though, was that your mastery of the Li Fire Technique advanced considerably, nearing the Mahayana Level...]

Seeing this, Su Xing couldn't help but sigh and say,

"Indeed, cultivating with Spiritual Liquid is the true path!"

"However, to obtain more Spiritual Liquid, I still need to upgrade the level of the Spirit Field Cave... that is, to plant more Gathering Spirit Flowers!"

Su Xing frowned slightly, pondering whether he should spend energy and simulation chances to obtain more Gathering Spirit Flowers.

"At present... in my Spirit Field Cave, there are more than three thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers."

"To upgrade to a medium-grade cave level, I fear I need tens of thousands of Gathering Spirit Flowers... with each flower costing ten thousand simulation energy, that's seven billion energy required!"

Su Xing estimated that he could indeed produce the seven billion-plus energy.

But the question was, are Gathering Spirit Flowers worth Su Xing spending so much energy?

Soon, Su Xing made a decision.

They are worth it!

"At the Return to Void Realm, if I have more Spiritual Liquid, I can swiftly reach the Great Perfection of Return to Void!"

"And later, at the Integration and Mahayana Phases... I'll likely need even more Gathering Spirit Flowers!"

"To gain them sooner is to enjoy benefits earlier... it seems that in the next simulation, I'll have to attempt to bring out Gathering Spirit Flowers..."

Thinking so, Su Xing's gaze turned towards the simulation panel.

[In the eighth year, your mastery of the Li Fire Technique continued to deepen.]

[You consumed fifty thousand low-grade Spirit Stones in one year, making a significant stride towards the fifth rank of the Return to Void Realm.]

[In the ninth year, you took out all forty thousand drops of Spiritual Liquid you had collected over the years, ready to make a determined effort to break through to the fifth rank of Return to Void!]

[Two months later, on a fine sunny morning, your aura surged uncontrollably.]

[Ultimately, you successfully broke through to become a fifth rank Return to Void Realm cultivator!]

[In the tenth year, you spent most of your time every day practicing the Li Fire Technique.]

[Now, the temperature of your Li Fire Technique was several times higher than before, and its range had reached an astonishing thousand zhang!]

[With but a thought, the Li Fire Technique could appear anywhere within that thousand zhang.]

[You could feel that your Li Fire Technique was approaching Great Perfection!]

[In the eleventh year, you were practicing the Li Fire Technique as usual.]

[After consecutive efforts of controlling and increasing the temperature, you were surprised to find that the temperature of your Li Fire Technique had more than doubled!]

[And the range of your Li Fire Technique also reached three thousand zhang!]

[Your mastery of the Li Fire Technique naturally reached the Mahayana Level.]

Su Xing looked at this, feeling quite satisfied.

"Not bad, the difficulty in practicing the Li Fire Technique lies in the need for enough Divine Sense and Spiritual Power..."

"And I have just what it takes!"

"However, ten years for the Li Fire Technique to reach Great Perfection isn't slow at all..."

Although the Li Fire Technique at this stage of practice was not difficult, it was an essential reward for Su Xing.

After all, Su Xing needed the Li Fire Technique to refine Rebirth Pills!

"Next, the Legendary level Rebirth Pill should be able to be refined on schedule, right?"
