Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

The Essence-Nourishing Pill had little effect on enhancing Su Xing's cultivation level at the Nascent Soul Stage.

To continue maintaining rapid growth in cultivation, taking more advanced elixirs was a good option.

"If I remember correctly, the Dragon Spirit Pill is one of the top-tier elixirs among the lower-grade ones. Its main ingredient is a spiritual medicine called Dragon Spirit Grass…"

Su Xing squinted his eyes and continued the simulation.

[You realized that to improve your cultivation, you needed to refine a new kind of elixir—the Dragon Spirit Pill! The main ingredient for this elixir was Dragon Spirit Grass, and it so happened that your spirit field was planted with more than ten twenty-year-old Dragon Spirit Grass plants.]

[However, just a dozen Dragon Spirit Grass plants were far from enough for you to learn this elixir, so you drew the appearance of the Dragon Spirit Grass and asked the Shadow Protector to help you find this herb in the treasure vault.]

[A few days later, the Shadow Protector succeeded in retrieving a dozen or so Dragon Spirit Grass plants from the treasure vault and handed them to you. The Shadow Protector told you that the quantity of Dragon Spirit Grass in the sect's treasure vault was not abundant, with only a few hundred plants, and they required contribution points to exchange.]

[Although a few hundred Dragon Spirit Grass plants were not a large quantity, they were entirely sufficient for you. You used all your accumulated contribution points over the years to exchange for all the Dragon Spirit Grass plants.]

[Then, you began experimenting with refining the Dragon Spirit Grass.]

[In the first month, you refined thirty batches of Dragon Spirit Pills, all of which failed. The Dragon Spirit Grass was more difficult to control in terms of timing and spiritual power, making it the most challenging elixir you had encountered.]

[In the second month, you refined thirty batches of Dragon Spirit Pills and succeeded in two batches. However, the efficacy of the Dragon Spirit Grass was unclear, so you dared not take it personally.]

[In the third month, you refined thirty batches of Dragon Spirit Pills and succeeded in six batches, achieving a success rate of twenty percent. Your profession management panel displayed that you had begun mastering the refinement of Dragon Spirit Pills.]

[In the next six months, you refined Dragon Spirit Pills daily, and the success rate for refining Dragon Spirit Pills had reached fifty percent.]

[At this time, you still had more than two hundred Dragon Spirit Grass plants in your hand, but you did not refine them directly. Instead, you decided to keep them.]

[In the ninth year, one day, the Shadow Protector came to you, looking somewhat dejected.]

[The Shadow Protector informed you that despite their world's efforts to resist with all their might, they still failed. The strength of the foreign races was too overwhelming, with no comparison.]

[Your once hopeful allies had now become utterly disheartened. Although you had long known the outcome and persisting for another year was incredibly difficult, you still felt sorrow for the Shadow Protector.]

[You gave the Shadow Protector an encouraging hug and told her that if she was willing, she could treat Blue Star as her second homeland and fight for it.]

[The Shadow Protector gave a sad smile after hearing your words. She said that her strength was too weak; even if she helped you, she would ultimately be powerless to resist the foreign races.]

[You did not say much, merely taking out the latest Dragon Spirit Pill you had refined and asked the Shadow Protector to try it.]

[The Shadow Protector did not hesitate much, directly swallowing the Dragon Spirit Pill. Moments later, a look of amazement appeared in her eyes as she noted that this pill's efficacy was strong, making her feel a slight sense of power.]

[At the same time, the Shadow Protector stated that this elixir could even help profession users at the grandmaster level become stronger, with even a slight chance to become a Heavenly King Level user!]

[The Shadow Protector looked somewhat dejected and said that even with a few more Heavenly King Level users, it wouldn't change the destiny of their world being destroyed by the foreign races.]

[You, however, smiled calmly and asked, "Then what if there were over a hundred Heavenly King Level users?"]

[Upon hearing your words, the Shadow Protector was obviously taken aback and thought carefully before saying that if there were over a hundred Heavenly King Level users, perhaps they could indeed hold out longer against the foreign beasts.]

[The Shadow Protector's expression looked somewhat sorrowful. She said that if they had had these elixirs earlier, perhaps her homeland would not have been so easily destroyed.]

[Having experienced the apocalypse, you naturally knew how terrifying the power of that behemoth covering the sky was, certainly not something that a mere hundred Heavenly King Level users could solve.]

[Yet, you knew this was a great progress. Previously, your elixirs could only influence master level users. Now you could make grandmaster level users stronger and even become Heavenly King Level users.]

Su Xing felt a bit excited when he saw this. Nascent Soul Stage strength corresponded to grandmaster level profession users. If these Dragon Spirit Pills could indeed quickly elevate a batch of Heavenly King Level users among the Human Race, it would definitely extend the time before the apocalypse arrived.

"The function of the Dragon Spirit Pill should be similar to the Essence-Nourishing Pill, but more effective, able to increase the spiritual power and cultivation of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. Even for grandmaster level profession users, it could enhance their mental attributes."

"Enhancing the mental attributes of profession users of the magic system would further increase the chances of completing advancement tasks… Particularly when administered to those experienced grandmaster level professionals, it might greatly improve their chances of completing their advancement tasks!"

Su Xing's eyes brightened.

Profession users were different from cultivators, having the advantage of rapidly increasing strength within a short period, primarily by killing monsters to gain a vast amount of experience points and increase levels.

However, the mortality rate for profession users in each major advancement task was extremely high, resulting in many level-30 master users failing to break through to the grandmaster level.

And many level-30 grandmaster users were unable to break through to the Heavenly King Level.

The purpose of Su Xing's elixirs was precisely this—to enhance their strength and thereby allow them to advance successfully!

"Perhaps, in this simulation, the Human Race would gain a batch of Heavenly King Level users, and this might enable a lengthier resistance…"

Su Xing took a deep breath, impatiently continuing the simulation.

[You extended another invitation to the Shadow Protector, hoping she could join you in defecting from the Descending Sect.]

[The Shadow Protector hesitated for a long time but still refused. She believed that even so, the Human Race could not withstand the assault of the behemoth. Defection would be tantamount to seeking death.]

[Helpless, you said to her, "Then good luck, Luo Shuying!"]

[The Shadow Protector was stunned hearing you say her name. She incredulously asked how you knew her name. After all, she had been using the code name "Shadow" for decades since joining the Descending Sect, with no one ever knowing her full name.]

[You told the Shadow Protector that this name was told to you by herself.]

[The Shadow Protector naturally did not believe it, so you made up a story.]

[You told her that you had the ability to travel through time and had been hurrying to save the world you both belonged to. As for the name Luo Shuying, she had personally told it to you.]

[This seemingly unbelievable story ended up convincing the Shadow Protector.]

[The Shadow Protector said, "Compared to a bleak and unviewable future, she was more willing to believe in a savior traversing the timelines."]
