Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Su Xing nodded slightly after seeing this. Being able to refine medium-grade elixirs and progressing rapidly, indeed, his alchemy could be considered to have achieved a minor accomplishment.

But when Su Xing saw the next simulation content, he immediately saw black spots before his eyes.

[In the first month, you refined thirty furnaces of Soul Condensing Pills; they all failed. Pill success rate was zero.]

[In the second month, refusing to give up, you refined thirty more furnaces of Soul Condensing Pills; once again they all failed.]

[In the third month, you believed that the Heavenly Dao rewards diligence. Working day and night, you expended significant mental energy on each pill, refining thirty furnaces of Soul Condensing Pills. Finally, you managed to produce one defective Soul Condensing Pill.]

[In the fourth month, summarizing your experiences, you refined thirty more furnaces of pills—all failures again. You realized that the previous success was just luck.]

[In the fifth month, with relentless perseverance, you refined thirty more furnaces of Soul Condensing Pills, managing to produce three defective Soul Condensing Pills.]

[You consumed all four defective Soul Condensing Pills, greatly enhancing the intensity of your divine sense. The range of your divine sense increased to 15 zhang.]

Su Xing rolled his eyes upon seeing this.

In the first three months, he had refined ninety furnaces of Soul Condensing Pills and only succeeded in producing one, and it was a defective pill.

Considering that a furnace could produce ten pills, the overall success rate of his alchemy was nearly one in a thousand, and that was considered rapid progress?

Even afterward, Su Xing spent another two months, only managing to produce three more defective Soul Condensing Pills.

That meant Su Xing took nearly half a year to produce four Soul Condensing Pills, all of them defective.

The difficulty in refining Soul Condensing Pills far exceeded any other elixir Su Xing had previously refined.

However, the effects of the Soul Condensing Pill were extremely potent. With just four defective Soul Condensing Pills, Su Xing's divine sense range increased by 4 zhang. What would be the effect of a normal Soul Condensing Pill, or even an ultimate-grade one?

"I don't believe this. Just a Soul Condensing Pill. Do you really think I can't refine it?"

Su Xing continued the simulation.

[In the eighteenth year, you were still obsessed with refining Soul Condensing Pills but also started paying attention to the frontline battles.]

[You felt relieved to learn that the Demon-Subduing Pass had not been breached, as, based on past experiences, the reality would only be invaded once the Demon-Subduing Pass was broken.]

[You spent another half-year repeatedly simulating each step of refining Soul Condensing Pills in your mind, down to every second. Only when you were confident of avoiding all possible mistakes did you begin refining.]

[In half a year, you refined over a hundred furnaces of Soul Condensing Pills. Successfully, you produced three furnaces' worth, totaling 13 defective Soul Condensing Pills.]

[You consumed all the defective Soul Condensing Pills, bringing your divine sense range to 25 zhang within just a few days. This was comparable to the divine sense range of a late Nascent Soul Stage cultivator!]

[In the nineteenth year, you continued refining Soul Condensing Pills, but the supply of Condensing Spirit Wood was halved due to your consumption over the past two years. You began to calculate carefully to ensure you gained experience from each refinement.]

[Finally, you spent an entire year to successfully refine ten furnaces' worth of Soul Condensing Pills, including two furnaces of normal Soul Condensing Pills, totaling six pills.]

[You consumed all six Soul Condensing Pills; your divine sense surged once again, reaching a range of 50 zhang—a level that most Nascent Soul cultivators found hard to achieve.]

[In the same year, your cultivation saw a small breakthrough, advancing to the third layer of the Nascent Soul Stage.]

[In the twentieth year, just as you were about to continue delving into Soul Condensing Pills, a catastrophic piece of news struck: the Demon-Subduing Pass was breached!]

[The same year, with the breach of the Demon-Subduing Pass, a colossal beast descended upon your reality.]

[Dozens of golden figures soared into the sky, attempting to drive the beast away from Blue Star, but they failed without a doubt.]

[The colossal beast swallowed the entire Great Xia Country in one gulp. Before death, you seemed to see Luo Shuying running toward you, her mouth open as if shouting something, but the distance was too far for you to hear it clearly.]

[Your vision spun, and your head was severed; you died!]

[Your "Unyielding Talent" activated, and you saw clearly the one who beheaded you—an unfamiliar person, likely an infiltrator in the Great Xia Military.]

[He wore a sinister smile, and his face shifted to reveal his true identity.]

[You recognized him, damned Zong!]

[Damned Zong crushed your eyes with a foot, nullifying your "Unyielding Talent"...]

[Ding! The simulation ends here.]

Su Xing gasped for breath upon seeing this, never expecting to be killed by damned Zong!

The most crucial part was that damned Zong had infiltrated the Great Xia Military secretly, even managing to disguise himself and get close to Su Xing.

Snapping back from the simulation, Su Xing rubbed his temples, muttering to himself,

"It seems even the Great Xia Military isn't completely safe. There had been prior suspicions of espionage by the Descending Sect within the military's higher-ups, and now damned Zong could even disguise himself and get near me…"

"I need to be cautious of such attacks in future simulations… However, this simulation wasted a lot of time!"

According to the original timeline, the beast would descend, marking the end of the world in 2038, or fourteen years later.

In the last simulation, the end was delayed by three years, making it seventeen years.

This time, due to refining Dragon Spirit Pills, the end was postponed another three years, setting doomsday twenty years from now.

"Twenty years is not a short period…"

Su Xing murmured to himself, anticipating that as his strength increased and the elixirs he refined became more potent, he would undoubtedly gain even more time.

"Also, the rewards from this simulation are rich. I've learned two new elixirs, mastered the skill to multitask in alchemy, and even improved my cultivation and divine sense…"

Su Xing turned his gaze toward the rewards of this simulation.
