Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[The Shadow Protector hesitated for a moment, took out an Organ Refining Pill, and asked if you knew this kind of elixir.]

[With just one glance, you recognized that the Organ Refining Pill was made by you, but others did not know this, so you shook your head and said that you did not refine this elixir.]

[You took the elixir, observed it closely for a moment, and thickened your face to praise the alchemist's skills as being far superior to yours and that you did not know how to refine this kind of elixir.]

[Because for more than a decade, the elixirs you provided to the Descending Sect were all subpar. The Shadow Protector also saw that this elixir's technique far exceeded yours, so there was no suspicion.]

[You pretended to be puzzled, asked about the origin of this elixir, and the Shadow Protector told you it came from a mysterious alchemist from the Great Xia Military and informed you that some within the sect suspected you of making this elixir.]

[You gave a bitter smile and said that you could not produce such high-quality elixirs. The Shadow Protector nodded and believed you. She told you that she would guarantee your safety and dispel the doubts of others.]

[A few days later, the Shadow Protector and several other protectors approached you. They asked if you could refine this kind of Organ Refining Pill.]

[You stated that you did not know the materials for refining it, so it would require a lot of experimentation to decipher the elixir's composition.]

[The leaders of the Descending Sect believed you and gave you six months specifically to research this elixir.]

[In the next six months, you pretended to study the Organ Refining Pill daily, in reality, slacking off and using the saved time to enhance the quality of your Golden Core.]

[In the fourteenth year, you still had not produced an Organ Refining Pill, intentionally refining some elixirs with conflicting properties that upset the stomachs of several elders and killed many followers within the sect.]

[The Descending Sect gave up on having you refine the Organ Refining Pill and asked you to focus on refining the Essence-Nourishing Pill. You nodded in agreement.]

[You spent a day refining a batch of subpar Essence-Nourishing Pills with your eyes closed. This was your task for the next three months for the Descending Sect, as you had done for the past ten years.]

[In the fifteenth year, you successfully refined the Five Revolutions Golden Core, and your cultivation level also dropped to the ninth layer of the Golden Core Stage.]

[On April 7, 2038, in the New Era, a world-covering beast descended upon the real world and swallowed the entire Great Xia Country in one bite.]

[You died, your talent "Unyielding Spirit" activated at the moment of death, and you saw only darkness...]

[Ding, the simulation has ended this time!]

Su Xing noticed the time of the apocalypse.

"April 7, 2038... It's one year later than before. Sure enough, as long as it helps the overall strength of the human race, I can definitely extend my cultivation time."

"The extended time might be very short now, only a few months, but as I grow stronger, it will extend to one or even several years."

Su Xing slightly smiled. Two simulations had essentially allowed him to grasp the pattern in delaying the apocalypse.

The next moment was the time to claim the simulation rewards.

Su Xing turned his attention to the reward options.

[Appearance Like Pan An]: Blue talent, priced at 100,000 energy points.

[Five Revolutions Golden Core Quality]: Five Revolutions Golden Core, the quality and limit of spiritual power within the body are seventy percent higher than that of high-grade Golden Core cultivators, priced at 500,000 energy points.

[Fourteen Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, priced at 140,000 energy points.

This simulation offered only three types of rewards because Su Xing had spent most of his time cultivating the Nine Revolution Golden Core and refining elixirs.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xing mentally chanted:

"I choose the quality of the Five Revolutions Golden Core and the blue talent, Appearance Like Pan An!"

The quality of the Five Revolutions Golden Core was a must, nothing much to say about it.

As for "Appearance Like Pan An", Su Xing thought, alchemy experience could be gained every week, but being handsome was a lifetime matter!!!

[Ding, you have chosen the blue talent Appearance Like Pan An, consuming 100,000 energy points, with a remaining energy of 692,296 points.]

[Ding, you have chosen to bring out the Five Revolutions Golden Core, consuming 500,000 energy points, with a remaining energy of 192,296 points.]

A prompt sounded in Su Xing's mind, and at the same time, a profound change occurred in his body.

Su Xing sat cross-legged and inwardly observed the Golden Core in his dantian.

He saw that the originally perfect Golden Core gradually developed profound patterns. These patterns appeared out of thin air, filled with an ancient and mysterious aura.

One line... two lines… five lines!

When the five patterns were completely formed, the Golden Core within Su Xing's body once again radiated brilliant light.

At the same time, the spiritual energy within Su Xing's body began to surge, and in a matter of seconds, the quality and quantity of spiritual energy increased by more than seventy percent.

What delighted Su Xing even more was that his cultivation level did not drop by one realm; it remained at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage!

"The simulator brought out only the quality of the Golden Core, not the cultivation level... In that case, I can save a year's worth of cultivation time in the next simulation."

Su Xing smiled; this was a pleasant surprise.

After completing the Five Revolutions Golden Core, Su Xing clearly felt his spiritual energy was more abundant, and his control over it was superior to before.

After taking some time to carefully experience the changes in his cultivation level, Su Xing took out a mirror to look at his handsome face.

After observing it for a while, Su Xing murmured:

"No change at all... My looks must have already reached the peak of ordinary mortals?"

Su Xing shamelessly thought.

But in fact, Appearance Like Pan An was not a talent that changed one's looks; it was a conceptual talent that changed perception!

For example, a person's original attractiveness score might be sixty. After awakening this talent, their appearance would not change, but in the eyes of others, they would be a ninety-nine out of a hundred, a peerless beauty!

As for Su Xing, his looks originally scored around ninety. Coupled with the aura of a cultivator and the layers of the Appearance Like Pan An talent, being proclaimed the most handsome throughout the ages, and debuting on the spot, no one would doubt it.

After receiving his rewards, Su Xing did not relax. As usual, he began to work on alchemy again.

In the blink of an eye, four days passed.

Su Xing worked tirelessly for four days and successfully refined the three hundred Nourishing Face Pills and five hundred Wound Healing Pills that he needed to prepare for the next week.

That day, a woman contacted Su Xing. It was not Jin Congxue, but his junior Wang Qingxuan.

Wang Qingxuan sent Su Xing a message and then asked to meet him in the grove at school.

"Could it be that the Descending Sect is about to appear?"

Su Xing was puzzled. But the Descending Sect should not be looking for Wang Qingxuan for at least another six months; it shouldn't be this early.

To be safe, Su Xing still went to the grove to meet Wang Qingxuan.

The usually plain Wang Qingxuan had changed her style, put on exquisite makeup, and let her beautiful long hair flow over her shoulders, looking pure and lovely.

Su Xing came to Wang Qingxuan and handed her a steaming cup of milk tea, flashing a sunny smile:

"What's up, junior? You needed something?"

Wang Qingxuan kept her head down and finally mustered the courage to say something. But when she looked up and saw Su Xing's face, she became even more shy.

"How could it be? I haven't seen him for a few days, and senior has become even more handsome... I'm not worthy of senior at all! As a plain girl like me, being able to stay by senior's side is already such a blessing..."

Wang Qingxuan thought to herself, swallowing the words she had struggled to gather the courage to say.

Su Xing did not notice Wang Qingxuan's little thoughts and asked in confusion:

"If you have something to say, just say it. If I can help, I won't hesitate!"
