Chapter 153: Chapter 132: Internal Cultivation of the Primordial Spirit, External Alchemy of Elixirs! The Wonderful Use of a Thousand-Zhang Divine Sense! (Third Update)
Su Xing slightly nodded upon seeing this.
The future simulation developed as he had anticipated: his Divine Sense further strengthened, and his Alchemy Skills became even more exquisite.
Everything was developing in a positive direction…
[In the eleventh year, you thoroughly study the Li Fire Alchemy, wishing to attempt to refine some new Elixirs with the current Spiritual Medicines.]
[Through your research, you discover that it is possible to develop Elixirs such as the Clarity Pill, Tortoise Shell Pill, and Purifying Blood Pill.]
[Among them, the Clarity Pill is a mid-grade Elixir, similar in effect to the previously developed Clear Mirror Pill, but stronger in efficacy and with minimal side effects, allowing for continuous use.]
[The Tortoise Shell Pill and Purifying Blood Pill, on the other hand, are lower-grade Elixirs. The Tortoise Shell Pill can enhance physical defense for a short period after consumption, while the Purifying Blood Pill can detoxify mundane poisons.]
[In the following two years, you practice Cultivation daily and begin researching these new Elixirs.]
[By the thirteenth year, you have successfully mastered the refinement of the Tortoise Shell Pill and Purifying Blood Pill to a beginner's level.]
[However, mastering the Clarity Pill is not easy, and you have yet to make headway.]
[In the fourteenth year, your Divine Sense continues to grow, reaching a range of nine hundred zhang!]
[That same year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level ascended to the third tier of the Divine Strength Realm!]
[By the sixteenth year, after years of learning, you have gained a basic mastery of the Clarity Pill.]
[During Cultivation, you find that consuming the Clarity Pill allows you to enter the state more rapidly, fully immersing in Cultivation and significantly increasing the speed of practice.]
[Unfortunately, your Cultivation Level remains at the Nascent Soul Realm Great Perfection, and you decide not to break through until you have refined the superior-quality Infant Tempering Pill.]
[In the seventeenth year, you administer the Infant Tempering Pill to professionals at the Heavenly King Level, wanting to test whether this Elixir can enhance their strength.]
[Regrettably, ordinary people, even professionals, cannot possess a Nascent Soul, so the Infant Tempering Pill is of no use to them.]
Su Xing nodded slightly upon reading this and murmured,
"Indeed, compared to the pills used by Qi Refinement Cultivators, it's the Body Refinement Cultivators' pills that are of greater help to professionals..."
Su Xing wasn't surprised and continued the simulation.
[As time slowly passed, another two years went by. During these years, you consistently consumed Soul Condensing Pills to strengthen your Divine Sense, which has greatly expanded, now reaching nine hundred and seventy zhang!]
[In the twentieth year, you encountered a long-premeditated assassination.]
[Over the years, you have experienced hundreds of assassination attempts, but this one came closest to succeeding.]
[A senior officer from the Great Xia Military invited you to dine at his residence, and out of politeness, you obliged.]
[Little did you expect to be walking into a trap!]
[It turns out that the officer was a spy planted by the Descending Sect, and at the banquet, they poisoned you and then arranged for two Legendary-Level experts to ensure your death.]
[After the toxin invaded your body, you couldn't activate your Spiritual Power and were unable to seek refuge in the Spirit Field Blessed Land.]
[Fortunately, Luo Shuying has been protecting you all along, and she fought against the two Legendary experts, holding on until the Great Xia Military arrived to support.]
[By that time, Luo Shuying had also been seriously injured and was comatose for a month before she finally emerged from death's door, leaving her with permanent ailments.]
Su Xing sighed upon reading this.
As expected, exposure only led to ceaseless assassination attempts.
This made Su Xing even more convinced that it was crucial to grow steadily before possessing sufficient strength.
He continued with the simulation.
[In the twenty-first year, your Divine Sense grew to nine hundred and ninety zhang, not far from the thousand zhang range you had once achieved.]
[In the twenty-second year, you suddenly sensed a familiar presence in Kyoto and, following it, discovered an old beggar you had never seen before.]
[Upon repeated confirmation, this old beggar turned out to be Damned Zong!]
[He has been evading the Descending Sect's pursuit for years and now came to Kyoto incognito, perhaps in connection with you.]
[But you couldn't arouse any interest in him; now deeply cautious, you seldom leave the Spirit Field Blessed Land and even when you do, Luo Shuying is there to protect you, so Damned Zong poses no threat.]
[In the twenty-third year, your Divine Sense once more expanded to nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang, just a step away from completion.]
[That same year, the situation for the Human Race at Demon-Subduing Pass worsened.]
[In the twenty-fourth year, you successfully reached a Divine Sense of a thousand zhang, knowing that your mission this time is complete and deciding to truly enjoy the rest of your life.]
[In the twenty-fifth year, a giant beast descended, swallowing the entire Great Xia Country in one bite.]
[You died, your Purple Talent triggering in death…]
[Ding, this simulation is over!]
After the end of the simulation, Su Xing closed his eyes to reflect on this simulation.
A moment later, Su Xing opened his eyes and sighed,
"Indeed, directly exposing the Lifespan Extension Pills was not a wise choice... The repercussions were too great, and a more covert approach is necessary..."
"However, since direct exposure isn't feasible, perhaps I can conceal my identity instead?"
Su Xing stroked his chin, lost in thought.
"So be it, gathering those precious herbs will take some time; for now, let's just choose a simulation reward!"
The thought of the rewards from this simulation had Su Xing quite excited.
[Living Buddha Incarnate]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points.
[25 Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, including part of the Infant Tempering Pill (Intermediate Level), Mind Enlightening Pill (Entry Level), Clarity Pill (Great Perfection), Lifespan Extension Pill (Great Perfection), Tortoise Shell Pill (Great Perfection), and Blood Purification Pill (Great Perfection), priced at 6 million energy.
[Divine Strength Realm Third Layer]: Body Refinement Cultivation Level, priced at 20 million energy!
[Divine Sense Thousand Zhang (Five Senses Realm)]: Possess a divine sense that extends a thousand zhang, able to sense all movements within this range, priced at 9.5 million energy.
[Life Extension Pill (Ten Pills)]: Priced at 3 million energy.
Su Xing glanced at the simulation rewards options and sighed,
"I didn't expect the Life Extension Pills to be so cheap, but if they were auctioned off, the energy earned could probably increase by dozens of times..."
"However, there's no rush to exchange them now; the tens of millions of energy points I currently have are still sufficient... Besides, after taking out the Alchemy Experience, I can refine the Life Extension Pills myself, which will save me an opportunity to choose a reward."
Having thought this, Su Xing then declared without hesitation,
"I choose the 25 Years of Alchemy Experience, and the Thousand Zhang Divine Sense!"
As his words fell, a notification sounded in Su Xing's ear.
[You have successfully brought out 25 Years of Alchemy Experience, spending 6 million energy, leaving you with 39.23 million energy points.]
[You have successfully brought out the Thousand Zhang Divine Sense (Five Senses Realm), spending 9.5 million energy points, leaving you with 29.73 million energy points.]
After making his choices, two streams of mysterious energy flowed into Su Xing's body.
The first was a wealth of Alchemy Skills and memorized techniques.
In just over ten seconds, it was as if Su Xing had acquired decades of alchemy experience, with a flood of knowledge on how to refine various elixirs such as the Infant Tempering Pill and Mind Enlightening Pill entering his mind.
And the benefits of the Alchemy insight wasn't limited to learning new elixirs; Su Xing's understanding of previously mastered elixirs also became much profounder, and his grasp on the Alchemy Dao deepened as well.
"Carefully considering, I might as well be considered an Alchemy Master with hundreds of years of experience now, right?"
A slight smile played on Su Xing's lips. He now had knowledge of no fewer than twenty different types of elixirs, including several mid-grade formulas!
Hundreds of years of Alchemy insights, coupled with his innate talent for the Alchemy Dao, meant that in an ordinary Cultivation World, Su Xing could be an Alchemy Master capable of founding his own sect.
Next, Su Xing began to spread his divine sense to feel the newly acquired energy, the Thousand Zhang Divine Sense!
Boom!
The divine sense spread out like a blanket, and within just a few seconds, every movement within a hundred zhang of the Spirit Field Blessed Land, even the expressions of every chicken and the wriggling of every spiritual worm, was crystal clear to Su Xing.
However, Su Xing seemed unsatisfied with just this and frowned slightly,
"The scope of the Spirit Field Blessed Land is still a bit too small..."
As he spoke, Su Xing appeared in a hidden corner inside the school.
Then his divine sense expanded!
A hundred zhang... five hundred zhang... a thousand zhang!
It was as if he had gained countless eyes and ears. With Su Xing as the center, everything within a thousand zhang radius, any movement at all, was perceptible to him with absolute clarity.
"Hmm, the cafeteria's lunch today is braised pork..."
"Over by the gym, it seems there are new students visiting for enrollment?"
"The girls' dormitory at North Campus... ahem! I must uphold my integrity and not indulge in such matters!"
"Eh? There seems to be a couple in the small woods behind the South Sports Field... jeez, aren't they moving a bit too quickly?"
A playful mood had taken hold of Su Xing.
Remaining in his dorm, he could see and hear every scene as if he were right there, an experience both strange and wonderful.
With the strength of his Thousand Zhang Divine Sense, almost half of Kyoto Academy was within his reach, meaning nothing within the academy could escape Su Xing's eyes.
"Tsk, this divine sense is really quite entertaining... it's just a bit too taxing on the mind..."
Su Xing gently massaged his temples; just half an hour of employing his divine sense, and he felt a touch of fatigue.
"To achieve a Thousand Zhang Divine Sense during the Nascent Soul Stage... What terrifying scope would it have in the Divinity Transformation Stage?"
"And this 'Five Senses Realm' label on my divine sense, could there be even higher realms with more functions?"
Su Xing discovered that he had previously underestimated the uses of divine sense!
Fifty zhang of divine sense indeed isn't very useful.
But if the radius is expanded twenty times to a thousand zhang, more than three kilometers, then it's almost equivalent to covering a district or a rather large town!
If it were to expand ten times over, it would be able to cover an entire city!
"Cultivators refine their Primordial Spirits internally and concoct elixirs externally... Indeed, the ancients did not deceive me; the uses of divine sense are truly astonishing!"
Currently, Su Xing still had a rather basic grasp of employing divine sense.
Only when he gains mastery over divine sense-using Divine Skills and breaks into higher realms would the terrifying potential of divine sense truly be unleashed.
After all, the strength of a Cultivator isn't limited to concocting elixirs—those mysterious Divine Skills are what allow a Cultivator to tap into their true abilities!
