[The Shadow Protector hesitated for a moment before taking out an Organ Refining Pill and asking if you knew anything about this type of elixir.]
[You recognized at a glance that the Organ Refining Pill was concocted by you, but others were not aware, so you shook your head and said that you did not make this pill.]
[You took the pill and closely observed it for a moment, shamelessly praising the pill maker’s skills as far superior to yours and claiming ignorance of such an elixir.]
[Since you had been providing the Descending Sect with substandard elixirs for over a decade, the Shadow Protector also noticed that the skill involved in making this pill far exceeded yours, so she did not suspect anything.]
[Pretending to be puzzled, you inquired about the origin of the pill. The Shadow Protector told you that it came from a mysterious alchemist within the Great Xia Military and informed you that some in the Sect suspected that you had concocted the pill.]
[With a bitter smile, you expressed that you couldn’t possibly create an elixir of such high quality. The Shadow Protector nodded, believing you, and assured you that she would protect your safety, breaking the others’ suspicions.]
[A few days later, the Shadow Protector and several other protectors approached you, asking if you could make this kind of Organ Refining Pill.]
[You explained that you were not familiar with the pill’s ingredients and would need a great deal of trial and error to decipher its components.]
[The upper echelons of the Descending Sect believed you and gave you six months specifically to develop this type of elixir.]
[For the next half a year, you pretended to study the Organ Refining Pill every day but discreetly slacked off, using the saved time to improve the quality of your Golden Core.]
[By the fourteenth year, you still had not succeeded in making the Organ Refining Pill and intentionally created several pills with conflicting medicinal properties, upsetting the stomachs of many elders in the Sect and even causing the death of numerous followers.]
[The Descending Sect gave up on making you produce the Organ Refining Pill and instructed you to focus on crafting the Essence-Nourishing Pill instead. You nodded in agreement.]
[You took a day to close your eyes and produce a batch of flawed Essence-Nourishing Pills, which would be your assignment to submit to the Descending Sect for the next three months—a practice you had been doing for over ten years.]
[By the fifteenth year, you successfully cultivated a five-turn Golden Core, and your cultivation level consequently fell to the ninth level of the Golden Core Stage.]
[New Era April 7, 2038, a sky-darkening beast descended upon the real world and swallowed the entire Great Xia Country in one gulp.]
[You died, and with ‘Talent of the Unyielding’, you activated and saw only darkness…]
[Ding, this simulation has ended!]
Su Xing noted the time of the apocalypse’s arrival.
“April 7, 2038… It’s been delayed by another year compared to the previous one. Indeed, as long as it benefits the overall strength of the Human Race, I can definitely extend the time I have to cultivate.”
“The extension might be short right now, only a few months, but in the future, as I grow stronger, it could extend by a year or even several years.”
Su Xing’s lips curled slightly upward, as the two simulations basically allowed Su Xing to grasp the routine for delaying the apocalypse.
Now it was time to collect the simulation rewards.
Su Xing shifted his gaze to the reward options.
[Peerless Beauty]: Blue talent, priced at 100,000 energy points.
[Five-Turn Golden Core Quality]: Five-turn Golden Core; the quality and cap of spiritual power within the body exceeds that of a top-quality Golden Core cultivator by seventy percent, priced at 500,000 energy points.
[Fourteen Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insight, priced at 140,000 energy points.
The simulation rewards available for selection this time were only three, as Su Xing had devoted most of his time to cultivating the Nine Revolution Golden Core and making elixirs.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Xing silently contemplated:
“I choose the Five-Turn Golden Core Quality, and the blue talent, Peerless Beauty!”
The Five-Turn Golden Core Quality was a must-have option without question.
As for Peerless Beauty, Su Xing argued that while alchemy experience could be obtained once a week, being handsome is a matter for a lifetime!!!
[Ding, you have chosen to take the Blue Talent Peerless Beauty, spending 100,000 energy points, with 692,296 energy points remaining.]
[Ding, you have chosen to take the Five-Turn Golden Core, spending 500,000 energy points, with 192,296 energy points remaining.]
A prompt sounded in Su Xing’s mind, and at the same time, a profound change occurred on his body.
Su Xing sat cross-legged, examining the Golden Core inside his Dantian.
He saw that the originally perfect Golden Core gradually developed mysterious patterns that appeared out of nowhere, filled with a primitive and mystical aura.
One pattern… Two patterns… Five patterns!
When the five patterns were completely restored, the Golden Core within Su Xing’s body once again emitted a dazzling light.
At the same time, the Spiritual Energy within Su Xing’s body began to surge, increasing by more than seventy percent in quality and quantity within mere tens of seconds.
And to Su Xing’s delight, his Cultivation Level had not fallen by a realm, it was still at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage!
“So what was brought out of the simulator was only the quality of the Golden Core, not the Cultivation Level… That’s good too, this way I can save a year’s worth of cultivation time in the next simulation.”
With a smile on his face, Su Xing considered this a nice surprise, neither too big nor too small.
After forming the Nine Revolution Golden Core, Su Xing distinctly felt that the Spiritual Energy within him was more abundant, and he could manipulate it better than before.
After carefully comprehending the changes in his Cultivation Level, Su Xing took out a mirror and checked his handsome face.
After observing for a while, Su Xing murmured,
“No changes, huh… Has my appearance truly reached the peak for a mortal?”
Su Xing shamelessly thought.
But in fact, looking as handsome as Pan An is not a talent that changes one’s appearance, but a conceptual talent that changes people’s perception!
For example, if a person’s original appearance score was sixty, after awakening this talent, their appearance wouldn’t change, but in other people’s eyes, they would now be a peerless great beauty with a score of ninety-nine!
As for Su Xing, his appearance was already scored at ninety, plus the temperament of a Cultivator, the added layers of the talent for looking as handsome as Pan An, it would not be doubt if he claimed to be the most handsome in history and debuted on the spot.
After receiving the rewards, Su Xing did not slack off and started refining elixirs as the days went by.
In the blink of an eye, four days passed.
Su Xing refined for four days and successfully produced three hundred Nourishing Face Pills and five hundred Wound Healing Pills that were needed for the next week.
That day, a woman contacted Su Xing, not Jin Congxue, but his junior Wang Qingxuan.
Wang Qingxuan sent Su Xing a message and then asked him to meet in the small grove at the school.
“Could it be, the Descending Sect is about to appear?”
Su Xing was puzzled, but there was still more than half a year before the Descending Sect should approach Wang Qingxuan, so it should not happen this early.
Just to be safe, Su Xing still went to the grove to meet Wang Qingxuan.
The ordinarily plain Wang Qingxuan had changed her usual style, wearing delicate makeup and her beautiful long hair draped over her shoulders, the whole person looked pure and captivating.
Su Xing approached Wang Qingxuan, handed her a cup of steaming milk tea, and said with a sunny smile,
“What’s the matter, junior sister, why did you want to see me?”
Wang Qingxuan had kept her head down all the time, finally mustering up the courage to say something. But when she looked up and saw Su Xing, she became even more shy.
“How come the senior brother looks even more handsome after a few days… uh, I’m simply not worthy of senior brother! A plain girl like me is already lucky enough to be by senior brother’s side…”
Wang Qingxuan thought to herself, swallowing the words she had gathered the courage to say. Nêww 𝒄hapters will be fully updated at (n)ov(𝒆)l/bin(.)com
Su Xing did not notice Wang Qingxuan’s subtlety and asked with curiosity,
“If there’s anything you need to say, just say it. If I can help, I definitely won’t hold back!”
