Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Chapter 14: Green Talent, A Face Like Guan Xi!

Translator: 549690339

“`

[Sword Dao Prodigy]: Green talent—you naturally have a greater understanding of the sword than the average person, showing considerable talent in the practice of swordsmanship.

“`

“`

Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows as he looked at this talent and sighed softly,

“It’s a pity, Sword Dao talent is a good one… but as for the current me, it’s of no use.”

“`

“`

Improving his Spiritual Root aptitude or accumulating more cultivation resources was the urgent matter at hand for Su Xing.

“`

“`

[In the dormitory, you take out a Spirit Stone and begin your cultivation.]

“`

“`

[You know there are more than twenty days left before the Qingyun Spirit Field dungeon opens, thus you spend most of your time on cultivation and learning farming knowledge.]

“`

“`

[Twenty days later, your cultivation level has barely broken through to the fourth layer of the Qi Refinement Realm.]

“`

“`

[On November 18th, you set off for Jinling City.]

“`

“`

[The next day, you encounter Jin Congxue by chance, and after showcasing your abilities, you successfully find the Qingyun Spirit Field dungeon.]

“`

“`

[You enter the Qingyun Spirit Field dungeon.]

“`

“`

[You accepted the task of farming; you diligently work on the fields as usual, sparing time to help Jin Congxue with the farming when you can.]

“`

“`

[One week later, the elder issues your task rewards.]

“`

“`

[You receive a reward of 40 Spirit Stones and 40 jin of Spirit Rice.]

“`

“`

[You request the elder to exchange the Spirit Stones for Spirit Rice.]

“`

“`

[The elder agrees, and you receive 80 jin of Spirit Rice.]

“`

“`

[After leaving the dungeon, you stay in Jinling City for a few days and then return to Kyoto.]

“`

“`

[You go back to your old business of trading equipment, continuing to gather capital.]

“`

“`

[You focus more on enhancing your Qi Refining Cultivation, not using even a bit of the 80 jin of Spirit Rice.]

“`

“`

[Five years later, you are expelled from school, but by then you are worth over a hundred million, and with an ample supply of Spirit Stones, your cultivation level reaches Great Perfection in the Qi Refinement Realm.]

“`

“`

[In the seventh year, your sister dies, and you attend her funeral.]

“`

“`

[In the tenth year, Fatty Yu passes away, and you attend his funeral.]

“`

“`

[In the eleventh year, market fluctuations cause your net worth to increase tenfold.]

“`

“`

[In the fifteenth year, within the month before the attack of the giant beast, your cultivation breaks through.]

“`

“`

[You successfully advance to a Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm, with a lifespan of two hundred years.]

“`

“`

[A month later, the giant beast attacks.]

“`

“`

[You flip the giant beast the middle finger…]

“`

“`

[You die, aged thirty-six.]

“`

“`

[You trigger the talent “Unyielding Eyes”…]

“`

“`

[Ding, this simulation has ended!]

“`

“`

[You may choose one reward from the following: Sword Dao Prodigy (Talent), Foundation Establishment Level 1 (Cultivation Level), 80 jin of Spirit Rice (Item).]

“`

“`

[Sword Dao Prodigy]: Green talent, priced at 10,000 energy points.

“`

“`

[Foundation Establishment Level 1]: Cultivation level, priced at 1,000 energy points.

“`

“`

[80 jin of Spirit Rice]: Item, priced at 80,000 energy points.

“`

“`

Without much hesitation, Su Xing chose the reward of 80 jin of Spirit Rice.

“`

“`

Su Xing’s simulation energy was drastically reduced, leaving only just over 120,000.

“`

“`

But at the same time, a bag of Spirit Rice appeared in Su Xing’s hands.

“`

“`

The Spirit Rice was translucent and well-defined; each grain was as smooth and full as polished white jade.

“`

“`

Su Xing picked up a grain of Spirit Rice and tasted it raw.

“`

“`

It wasn’t as bitter as he had imagined, in fact, it was even tastier than cooked rice from the mundane world by a margin.

“`

“`

At the same time, a thread of Spiritual Energy entered Su Xing’s body, improving his constitution.

“`

“`

After tasting just a single grain, Su Xing reluctantly stowed away the bag of Spirit Rice.

“`

“`

Delicious as the Spirit Rice was, using it now would have been like quenching thirst with poison, cutting off his own future prospects.

“`

“`

Only by eating in the simulator and then purchasing cultivation levels at a low price could Su Xing maximize their use.

“Indeed, even with a talent of Mixed Spirit Root of the Five Elements, as long as one has enough spirit stones, one can break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm!”

Excitement began to swell in Su Xing’s heart, knowing that a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm would definitely increase his strength tremendously.

However, Su Xing currently couldn’t bring back cultivation levels from the simulator, because he needed to stockpile plenty of spirit stones.

After all, only by having a sufficient amount of spirit stones could he achieve greater progress in the simulator.

The only thing Su Xing felt a bit regretful about was that he had to temporarily give up the green talent of Sword Dao Prodigious Talent, which was clearly extraordinary.

“Just hope I get the chance to draw it once again later…”

Su Xing took out a spirit stone and began cultivating.

He now had ninety-two and a half spirit stones on hand, so using one or two wasn’t a big deal.

More importantly, Su Xing realized if he didn’t start cultivating now, he might still be at the Qi Refinement first level when entering the “Spirit Field Dungeon” side quest.

And the farming speed at the Qi Refinement first level was obviously too slow, so Su Xing had to ensure his cultivation level would be at least at the Qi Refinement fourth level by then to receive more rewards.

For the following week, Su Xing devoted most of his energy to improving his cultivation level and learning farming knowledge.

Of course, he occasionally took some newbies through dungeons to level up and support himself.

In a week’s time, Su Xing used half a spirit stone and successfully advanced to the Qi Refinement second level.

New Era 2023, November 4th.

On this day, Su Xing started his ninth simulation.

“Begin simulation!”

[900 energy points consumed, remaining energy 120,000 points, limitless remaining simulations.]

[Simulation has begun!]

[Drawing a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1,000 energy points, would you like to draw?]

“Draw a green talent”

Su Xing took a deep breath, counting this time, he only had three chances left to possibly draw a green Spiritual Root talent before the opening of the Spirit Field Dungeon.

[Ding, congratulations! You’ve obtained the green talent, Face like a Celestial!]

[Face like a Celestial]: Your appearance is exquisitely handsome, greatly increasing your attractiveness to the opposite sex, and your talent in photography has significantly improved.

Su Xing: “…”

Damn it, what’s the use of this talent for me!

This is the world of cultivation! Not some urban conquest game!

Su Xing instantly burst into complaints.

[In your dorm room, you unconsciously looked at yourself in the mirror and were stunned by your own handsomeness.]

[That afternoon, you took some junior sisters through the dungeon to level up. They were distracted, always sneaking glances at you.]

[Among them, Wang Qingxuan sneaked peeks at you 278 times throughout the afternoon.]

[In the following period, you kept receiving invitations from junior sisters asking you to take them through dungeons, and even some second-year girls wished for you to lead them.]

[Feeling rather annoyed, you turned down all their requests.]

[When you went to the cafeteria for a meal, a female classmate asked for your WeChat.]

[There was even a scout who invited you to enter showbiz, offering a handsome fee.]

[With your mind totally focused on cultivation, you successfully advance to the Qi Refinement fourth level in the following ten-plus days.]

[On November 18, 2023, of the New Era, you traveled to Jinling City.]

[On the plane, a flight attendant asked for your WeChat and gifted you a cup of orange juice.]

[Upon reaching Jinling City, the next day, you chanced upon Jin Congxue outside the city.]

[Jin Congxue was stunned at first when she saw you, her pretty face blushed, and she subconsciously wanted to turn her head away, not daring to look at you.]

[You seized the opportunity to ask Jin Congxue for directions, she led you on a shortcut, where you encountered the Spirit Heaven Dungeon.]

[You successfully entered the Spirit Field Dungeon.]
