“Bro, I get it! Don’t worry, I’ll be the only one taking this elixir!”
Seeing Fatty Yu’s triumphant expression, Su Xing was a bit surprised. Did this guy really figure something out?
But then Fatty Yu put his arm around Su Xing’s shoulder and they left the dormitory, heading towards the gathering place.
“Let’s go, the guys are getting impatient!”
Soon, Su Xing and Fatty Yu arrived at an old, locally famous food stall across from the school.
The prices weren’t high, but the food was excellent. Su Xing would occasionally come here to eat as well.
There were about twenty classmates at the gathering. Besides Fatty Yu, Su Xing only had nodding acquaintances with the others, and some he couldn’t even name.
“Come on, let’s have a drink!”
“Hahaha! I heard you got promoted to Master Level recently. This meal is on you, right?”
“Even Little Liu is doing well, huh? I heard he got picked up by a big trade association. He might even break through to Grandmaster Level!”
A group of young people in their early twenties gathered, their faces flush from drinking.
At this moment, a tall and skinny young man stood up, raised his glass, and said:
“Haha, you all probably don’t know yet, but Fatty Yu recently broke through to Grandmaster Level Profession User! In our cohort, his strength is in the top three!”
The moment he said this, the other classmates looked at Yu Yan with envy and toasted to him.
The atmosphere of the gathering was pretty good.
Only Su Xing sat alone in a corner, occasionally drinking with Yu Yan, sometimes drinking alone.
There wasn’t the imagined scene of showing off or humiliation. Although the classmates weren’t particularly warm to Su Xing, they didn’t shun him either.
Perhaps out of respect for Fatty Yu, a few classmates even toasted Su Xing.
Su Xing responded to each one.
Looking at these young faces in front of him, Su Xing couldn’t help but recall the scene when the school first started four years ago.
Back then, Su Xing was quite proud and called the rare genius of Kyoto Academy in ten years!
With the strong physique of a Body Refinement Cultivator, Su Xing even crushed that group of barely bronze-level elites.
He took first place in the freshman competition…
However, unpredictably, Su Xing soon found himself unable to level up, his strength nearly stagnant.
Those once-enthusiastic friends gradually drifted away.
Even the teachers were completely disappointed in Su Xing…
Until half a year ago, when Su Xing received his golden touch, he truly started to grow.
“In just half a year, from a low-level Qi Refinement cultivator… to a Divinity Transformation Stage expert… What a miraculous journey!”
Su Xing thought to himself, feeling a moment of insight.
“However, whether it’s Qi Refinement or Divinity Transformation… bronze or legendary… without becoming the world’s top expert, you’ll eventually fall during that great upheaval!”
Su Xing silently took a sip of his drink, recalling everything he experienced in the five stages of Divinity Transformation.
He sighed: “For a cultivator to seek longevity… how can one be constrained by trivial matters? The cold stares, the ups and downs over the years…”
“…are just a bit of frost on the journey of cultivation!”
Draining his glass in one gulp, Su Xing’s resolve to seek the Way grew firmer.
At that moment, Su Xing’s mind state elevated…
At midnight, the gathering ended, and Su Xing helped a drunken Fatty Yu back to the dormitory.
Watching the sleeping Yu Yan, Su Xing quietly entered his personal Spirit Field and used his spiritual power to dispel the alcohol.
“Sigh, back to alchemy!”
Su Xing skillfully resumed his alchemy life.
A week passed quickly.
During this week, most of Su Xing’s classmates graduated and left school.
But Su Xing’s life remained as regular as ever. As expected, he was notified by Liu Xiaodong about being held back. Su Xing didn’t get upset, he just continued with his alchemy.
Soon, on July 8th, Su Xing brought his elixirs and met with Jin Congxue.
Today, Jin Congxue wore a bright red dress, exuding enthusiasm and boldness.
“Hehe, big boss… Congratulations on graduating!”
Jin Congxue smiled and said to Su Xing.
Su Xing rolled his eyes and said:
“Cut it out, I’m staying back a year!”
Upon hearing this, Jin Congxue was a bit puzzled, thinking to herself: “No way, with your strength, you’re getting held back? Is Kyoto Academy’s standard that high?”
Su Xing briefly explained.
Then he remembered something and said to Jin Congxue:
“Hey, can you get me a laid-back job at Kyoto Academy, like a librarian? The new school year starts in September, and I don’t want to share a dorm with the freshmen… Preferably a single room, for convenience!”
Jin Congxue nodded slightly, understanding Su Xing’s intention.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. Report to the library tomorrow! Dead last?”
After saying this, Jin Congxue covered her mouth and laughed charmingly.
Su Xing also smiled, chatted with Jin Congxue for a bit longer, and then returned to the empty dormitory with the new week’s supplies.
“Fatty Yu, that guy, should be fine at the Demon-Subduing Pass, right?”
“The pass is pretty safe for now. If I get a chance later… I’ll send him some treasures, it should be fine…”
Su Xing shook his head slightly and then entered his Spirit Field Blessed Land.
He exchanged the new week’s supplies for simulated energy, gaining 16 million points of energy.
Not a small amount, but for Su Xing, who had experienced “big trades,” it was just decent.
On the afternoon of July 8, 2024, in the New Era, Su Xing began the new round of simulations on time.
“Start simulation!”
[Ding! This simulation consumes 4,400 points of energy. Remaining energy: 226.38 million points. Remaining simulation attempts: Unlimited.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Drawing green talent costs 1,000 points of energy, blue talent costs 10,000 points of energy, and purple talent costs 100,000 points of energy. Draw?]
“Draw purple talent!”
Su Xing silently said.
[Congratulations! You have obtained purple talent: Small but Lovely!]
