Chapter 41: The Blue Talent!

Su Xing looked at the bottle of Face Nourishing Dan in front of him, feeling pretty satisfied.

After refining the Face Nourishing Dan, Su Xing skilfully took out a scoop of Spirit Spring Water from the well.

Su Xing drank a big gulp of the sweet, lingering spirit spring water, and his heart cried out in pain. This spirit spring water was simply better than the best drinks in the real world. With a scoop of spiritual spring water in his stomach, Su Xing was not only refreshed, but even the consumed spiritual qi began to recover faster. After drinking the spirit spring water to quench his thirst, Su Xing spent another hour to start planting the fields.

Firstly, he watered the spiritual grains in the spiritual fields, and then tended to the medicinal fields that he had planted earlier.

The medicinal herbs in the medicinal field had already begun to sprout tips. Su Xing had planted more than an acre of medicinal herbs, although these spiritual medicines would need to wait for a few years, or even ten years before they could be useful. They were absolutely necessary in the simulator.

After looking after the spirit field, Su Xing took another small piece of spirit field and planted some new spirit seeds.

Most of these spirit seeds came from the seeds left behind by Qing Yunzi. Some of them Su Xing didn't recognise, but he planted them anyway.

The other seeds were carefully selected by Su Xing from the medicinal herb market. These spiritual seeds were more spiritual, planted in the spiritual field, and might become usable spiritual medicines in a year or two. Although the effects weren't as good as those left behind by Qing Yunzi, they were better because they could be cultivated quickly and in large quantities.

After two hours of hard work, Su Xing was pretty satisfied, but he didn't rush to rest. Instead, he went to the chicken pen he'd created.

Dozens of spirit chickens had become fatter and fatter after more than a month of breeding.

There were already a few spirit chickens hatching eggs, and the second generation of spirit chickens was about to be born.

Su Xing picked out a few eggs, picked some wild vegetables outside the spirit field, and made a big plate of Spirit Egg Fried Wild Vegetables. He also took out the spirit spring water and cooked a pot of spirit rice. The rice steamed from the Spirit Spring, and the plate of stir-fried vegetables were both fragrant, making one's appetite greatly stirred.

Su Xing took a big bite of the spirit rice, then tasted a bite of the egg and wild vegetables. His heart was full.

‘Hiccup~’

After finishing his meal, Su Xing comfortably burped and muttered, ‘Ah, if only the days could go on forever, so plain and uneventful…’

Su Xing shook his head slightly, although he also wanted to be a salted fish swinging every day, planting all kinds of fields and raising chickens. But after more than ten years, it was just like the sword of Damocles, hanging over his head. It would fall at any time, making Su Xing have trouble sleeping and eating.

After putting pressure on himself and giving himself hints on a daily basis, Su Xing was once again full of motivation and started a new round of refining pills.

‘I’ll also be able to save more money and have more energy points by then if I practise more face-nourishing pills!’

Su Xing thought so.

In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed.

Su Xing handed over the two hundred Face Nourishing Dan he'd prepared in advance to the cronies sent by Jin Congxue, and also received the white equipment worth one hundred million Daxia coins that Jin Congxue had prepared for him in advance.

A full eleven hundred thousand white equipment were absorbed by Su Xing using the simulator and converted into simulation energy.

With this, Su Xing's analogue energy peaked once again, coming to a full eight hundred thousand points!
The surge in energy points gave Su Xing a great sense of security.

New Era 2023, 31st December.

On the last day of 2023, Su Xing opened his seventeenth life simulation.

Within the Spirit Field Blessing, Su Xing took a bite of a boiled spirit egg and activated the simulator.

‘Starting simulation!’

[1700 energy points consumed this time, 800,000,000 energy points remaining, no simulation times remaining].
[Simulation begins!

[Extracting white talent costs 100 energy points, green talent costs 1000 energy points, extracting blue talent costs 1w energy points, is it extracted?]

‘Extract green talent ...... Huh, wait, how come there is an extra blue quality talent?’

Su Xing had originally subconsciously wanted to choose the green talent, but he found that the talent he could extract actually rose another level.

So Su Xing asked in confusion:
‘Why is there suddenly an extra blue talent? Why wasn't there one before?’

Su Xing just asked out of curiosity, but he didn't expect to actually get an answer.

[Ding, because in the past the host was really too poor, now that there is enough energy, naturally able to activate the next level of talent...]

Su Xing: What?
Damn, even the system discriminates against poor people these days?
Su Xing was disgruntled, but still chose the blue talent.

‘I want to choose the blue talent.’

[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the blue talent, Sword Dao Genius!

[Sword Dao Genius]: Blue talent. You have a superior perception of the sword and can cultivate ten times faster than normal people in the Sword Dao vein!
Su Xing paused for a moment after seeing this talent. He seemed to have drawn a green talent named Sword Dao Genius before.

This Sword Dao Genius in front of him seemed to be an advanced version of Sword Dao Wizards?

‘Why do you want me to be a sword cultivator so badly? I don’t have a sword manual, so how can I practise sword training? Is it hard to practice the Sunflower Sword Dictionary?’

Su Xing glanced at his bottom, then shook his head.

It’s so big, the whole cut would bleed to death!
Su Xing was a bit stumped. He hadn't expected to draw a 'useless' talent on his first try. He decided to move on to the next simulation.

[In the Spiritual Field Blessing, you realised you were simulating, and in this dungeon, you decided to contact the Advent Sect to try to get the second half of the Evergreen Gong].

[You didn't act rashly and kept refining and cultivating daily, occasionally contacting Wang Qingxuan.]

[Half a year passed like this, and one day Wang Qingxuan approached you.]

[Wang Qingxuan told you that there was a mysterious organisation that invited her to join.]

[You knew in your heart that it was the Advent Cult striking again. One night later, Wang Qingxuan withdrew from school.]

[You asked Wang Qingxuan for her contact details, while continuing to make pills.]

[Since you're planning to contact the Advent Sect, you need to think about how you can add value.]

[You know that contacting the Advent Cult and exposing your abilities will lead to two extremes. The first is that they may make you a ruthless alchemy machine. The second is that they will treat you as a guest and even give you the second half of the Evergreen Gong.]

[You worked hard to improve your cultivation.]

[In the second year, your Body Refining Cultivation reached the third level of the Bone Forging Realm, but your Qi Refining Cultivation didn't grow.]

[In the third year, your Body Refining Cultivation reached the fifth level of the Bone Forging Realm, but your Qi Refining Cultivation still hovered at the first level of the Jindan Stage.]

[In the fourth year, your Body Refining Cultivation reached the seventh level of the Bone Forging Realm, and your Qi Refining Cultivation is still at the first level of the Jindan Stage.]

[In the fifth year, your body refining cultivation increased to the ninth level of the Bone Forging Realm, at the same time, the Yuan Nourishing Grass you planted earlier had matured, and you spent more than a month refining a full two hundred Yuan Nourishing Pills, and began to want to improve the quality of your aura.]

Six months later, you reached the second level of the Jindan Stage. You felt that the quality of your spiritual energy had improved a lot, and your mana was thicker.
One day, Wang Qingxuan approached you.
