Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation! - Chapter 282: Chapter 177: Sudden Enlightenment after Seventy Years, the Terrifying Difficulty of the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique (Second Update) _2

“`

“Alas, I have no choice but to put even more effort into alchemy!”

Su Xing muttered to himself and then began his daily routine of concocting elixirs, gathering spiritual liquid, and taking care of the Spirit Field.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed.

In this week, Su Xing had concocted nearly six thousand elixirs.

This was still the efficiency of Su Xing despite being involved in many miscellaneous tasks…

As Su Xing’s Divine Sense transformed, his speed of alchemy also increased by more than a notch.

Soon, it was the day for Su Xing to meet Jin Congxue again.

After skillfully disguising himself and concealing his breath, Su Xing entered the villa.

The two had a meal together, after which Jin Congxue handed over the goods for the new week to Su Xing.

After chatting briefly for half an hour, Su Xing left the villa, carefully checking his surroundings and cautiously returned to his dormitory, entering the Spirit Field Cave.

He exchanged the goods for the week into simulation energy.

Unsurprisingly, Su Xing’s simulation energy once again reached over 250 million.

On September 2, 2024, of the New Era, Su Xing punctually started a new round of simulation.

“Begin simulation!”

[Ding! This simulation consumes 5,100 points of energy, leaving 250.56 million points remaining, with unlimited simulations left.]

[Simulation started!]

[Drawing a blue talent costs 10,000 points of energy, drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 points of energy, would you like to draw?]

“Draw the purple talent!”

Su Xing said decisively.

[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the purple talent, Talisman Expert!]

[Talisman Expert]: A purple talent that makes you exceptionally gifted at creating talismans. You learn new talismans more easily than ordinary people and your success rate in refining talismans is slightly increased.

“Wow, elixirs, formations, artifact refining, talismans… So now I’ve got all four of the major ways cultivators make a living?”

Su Xing muttered to himself.

Among the four subsidiary occupations of a cultivator, each had its merits and required immense talent.

Theoretically speaking, there was no distinction between the importance of alchemy, setting formations, refining artifacts, and making talismans.

But if one had to choose which craft had the highest threshold,

It would definitely be making talismans!

Because making talismans is a meticulous and energy-consuming task, the special script engraved within the talisman must be completely accurate with no room for error.

Therefore, it demands exceedingly high requirements from one’s Divine Sense!

“Speaking of which… with my Divine Sense at the Microcosm level, making talismans should be somewhat easier, right?”

Su Xing stroked his chin, musing this to himself.

“And moreover, talismans… although difficult to create, don’t seem to have specific strength requirements for the users…”

“This means that if there’s a sufficiently high-grade talisman, even an ordinary person using it could potentially kill those at the Divinity Transformation or Return to Void realm!”

Su Xing recalled the information about talismans in his mind.

“I remember there seemed to be a secret text on talisman creation within the Luo Tian Sect… perhaps I can take a look if needed in the future?”

After analyzing the newly acquired talent, Su Xing sighed lightly:

“However, the making of talismans isn’t urgent!”

“The pressing matter right now is figuring out a way to instantly kill Damned Zong to get his Storage Magical Artifact…”

Thinking of this, Su Xing’s gaze turned towards the simulation panel.

[Within the Spirit Field Cave, you realize that you’re in a simulation.]

[After staying in Kyoto City for a few days, you prepare to join the Descending Sect.]

[You arrive at Shuangqing City, release your Divine Sense, and attract Damned Zong.]

[You know that you can’t kill Damned Zong at this moment, and he thus doesn’t sense any danger.]

[Damned Zong respects you greatly, addressing you reverently as a senior.]

[Under Damned Zong’s recommendation, you join the Descending Sect.]

[After joining, you secretly make contact with Luo Shuying, obtaining a large quantity of Spiritual Medicine.]

[So you comfortably hide within the Descending Sect, daily refining Spiritual Medicine, researching the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique and Sword Control Technique.]

[Quickly, two years pass…]

[You’ve accumulated over a hundred thousand elixirs and secured most of the medicinal materials from the Descending Sect.]

[You’re ready to defect from the Descending Sect. Before defecting, you decide to look for Damned Zong one more time; unsurprisingly, he has disappeared.]

[You know that Damned Zong sensed the approaching danger and fled in advance. Not dwelling on it any further, you escape with Luo Shuying to Kyoto City.]

[After joining the Great Xia Military, you continue to diligently refine elixirs and practice strenuously every day.]

[In the blink of an eye, another two years pass…]

[In the fourth year, you donate all the elixirs you’ve concocted over the years to the Great Xia Military, adding many powerful fighters to Great Xia Country.]

[At the same time, with more free time, you begin to focus entirely on studying the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique and Sword Control Technique.]

[In the fifth year, after arduous cultivation, you finally gain an initial understanding of the Sword Control Technique.]

[Thus, occasionally, a dashing figure can be seen flying with a sword above Kyoto City.]

[Upon mastering the basics of Sword Control Technique, your speed of evasion greatly increases.]

[In the sixth year, you still devote yourself to studying the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique and Sword Control Technique.]

[Your mastery over the Sword Control Technique progresses each day, and you cultivate swiftly, perhaps because you were destined to become a Sword Immortal.]

[Unfortunately, you’re not meant to be a fortune-telling charlatan. After several years of practice, your understanding of the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique remains just before the threshold of minor accomplishment.]

[In the seventh year, one day as you were usually pretending to study the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique.]

[Suddenly, a flash of insight crosses your mind, and your vision seems to fill with strange lights that blur the line between fantasy and reality.]

[When you study the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique again, all previously obscure knowledge becomes crystal clear.]

[You’ve successfully triggered a serendipitous epiphany in your talent!]

[You fall into a mysterious state where your comprehension increases by hundreds of times.]

[Wasting no time, you double down on your Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique research.]

[As your cultivation advances by leaps and bounds, seven days quickly pass…]
