While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: The Mysteries of the Golden Core Stage, New Skill: Spirit Explosion Technique

Su Xing recalled the reaction he should have had when he broke through in the simulator, it was supposed to be painful and torturous.

After several months of secluded cultivation, he finally managed to break through to the Golden Core Stage with great difficulty.

But the real Su Xing, with the help of the simulator, took less than a minute to effortlessly break through to the Golden Core Realm, as if he had been cultivating arduously for decades.

Moreover, the Su Xing in the simulator should have consumed a large amount of Spirit Pills to break through, and his cultivation level should have been somewhat inflated, but at this moment Su Xing's cultivation was exceptionally stable, giving him a feeling of ease and control.

This meant that the simulator was not only able to provide Su Xing with cultivation level feedback but also without any side effects.

Thinking of this, Su Xing slowly extended a hand, with a thought, a three-inch small cyclone appeared in his hand. The miniature whirlwind spun continuously, transparent yet filled with spirituality, a cyclone formed by the concentration of Spiritual Power!

Su Xing tried to continuously compress and solidify the cyclone of Spiritual Power in his hand, and seconds later a spinning cyclone was born. Su Xing could feel its formidable power, which he suspected even a Gold-level professional might not be able to withstand.

Feeling the cyclone's continuous trembling, as if it was about to explode, Su Xing quickly controlled the cyclone and began to dissipate it.

Tens of seconds later, the cyclone slowly vanished from Su Xing's hand.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Su Xing muttered,

"Damn, that was close. If I hadn't kept it under control, the cyclone might have leveled the entire dormitory building, right?"

Su Xing assessed his body and found he had used up less than one-tenth of his Spiritual Power.

This might seem minimal, but in the real world, he was utterly unable to replenish Spiritual Energy, except by using Spirit Stones. Only by going to the Spirit Field Blessed Land could he recharge.

But now that he was a Cultivator at the Golden Core Stage, probably ten percent of his Spiritual Power would require a Spirit Stone to replenish.

"Damn, what a waste!"

While Su Xing felt the pinch, he also felt a bit guilty. He was lucky to have gained control in time; otherwise, if he had blown up the entire dormitory, he might have been arrested as a terrorist.

At the same time, there was excitement in Su Xing's eyes. He hadn't yet mastered any cultivation spells, but merely relying on his Golden Core Stage cultivation, he already possessed such destructive power.

"Indeed, cultivation is the true path! Levelling up and whatnot, those are just lower professions!"

Su Xing's mouth curved in a slight smile. After collecting his thoughts, he realized that his mind was filled with new memories he didn't know when had appeared—ten years of Alchemy Experience gained in the simulation.

It was just that the recent breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage had such a significant impact on Su Xing that he had almost overlooked this equally important Alchemy Experience.

"Hehe! Just one simulation saved me fifteen years of arduous cultivation... I am now a Golden Core Stage Cultivator too!"

At this moment, Su Xing couldn't help but feel a bit elated, but as soon as he thought of the calamity that would occur in fifteen years, his spirits deflated instantly.

"Steady, don't get reckless!"

"Steady, don't get reckless!"

"Steady, don't get reckless!"

Su Xing repeated to himself three times, constantly reminding himself to be cautious. Although his cultivation had greatly increased and he could now rival a Gold-level professional, the disaster fifteen years from now was still far from being preventable.

Frankly speaking, not to mention the calamity in fifteen years, he couldn't even handle the Descending Sect as of now.

"However, speaking of which... now that I've reached the Golden Core Realm, I really should find a way to obtain the latter part of the Changchun Technique in the dungeon. Otherwise, even if I cultivate the Nine Revolution Golden Core, I won't be able to withstand the Nascent Soul Ancestor!"

Su Xing closed his eyes in contemplation, beginning to consider his options for the next dungeon.

There were two things Su Xing urgently needed at the moment. The first was the Changchun Technique, which was crucial for his ability to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage or even higher realms.

The second was the Organ Refining Pill. If Su Xing could successfully consume the Organ Refining Pill, he might become a powerhouse in the Organ Refining Realm, and at that time, his cultivation would increase exponentially!

"But well... if there's an even more powerful talent, perhaps it could be considered?"

Su Xing's heart stirred, and he called out his career panel.

[Name: Su Xing]

[Occupation: Cultivator (Unique Hidden Occupation)]

[Cultivation Level: Golden Core Stage First Layer, Body Refinement Great Perfection]

[Cultivation Technique: Changchun Technique]

[Talents: Wood-Fire Dual-type Spiritual Root, Never Say Die, Mister Strong, Lucky Streak, Quick-witted, Unyielding...]

[Skills: Li Fire (Beginner), Alchemy (Beginner), Spirit Explosion Technique (Not Begun)]

[Equipment: Jade Blood Sword (Green), Spiked Chain Mail (Green), Azure Cloud Boots (Green)]

After breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, Su Xing's strength had clearly made great progress.

Although his Cultivation Level at the Great Perfection of the Body Refinement Realm was somewhat lacking, Su Xing was still waiting for his accumulated efforts to burst forth in a breakthrough to the Organ Refining Realm!

Moreover, Su Xing now had six talents, each of them very important to him, ensuring a better simulation.

"Now I have six talents, but how many can I actually master?" Su Xing mused.

Su Xing instinctively felt that these talents surely had a limit; otherwise, if he carried thousands of talents, wouldn't he be invincible?

"Huh... It seems I've gained a new skill, Spirit Explosion Technique?"

Su Xing was momentarily stunned when he saw his skill bar; he had only mastered Li Fire and Alchemy before, but it was clear that in the career panel, Li Fire Alchemy had been split into two parts.

As for the Spirit Explosion Technique? Su Xing had no recollection of ever learning this skill!

But then something clicked in Su Xing's mind, and he murmured,

"Could it be, that air whirl I tried to condense earlier has been recognized as a skill by the career panel?"

Su Xing was contemplative, which meant that although he couldn't obtain skills by slaying monsters or opening treasure chests as one would a skill scroll, he could still comprehend skills himself.

It might not seem as convenient, but it held limitless possibilities.

Moreover, the cultivators in this world were somewhat like the online game classes from his previous life, with a skill cooldown period after casting.

Su Xing remembered how his good buddy Yu Yan, when he was a bronze-level cultivator, had released just one fireball spell and was completely drained after, only able to knock on monsters' heads with his staff.

On the other hand, as long as the spiritual energy within Su Xing was sufficient, he could continuously cast spells like Li Fire and Spirit Explosion Technique.

"It seems, in future simulations, mastering the Spirit Explosion Technique might also be added to the agenda?"

Su Xing silently noted his plan in his heart.

Over the following week, Su Xing continued to make Nourishing Face Pills.

After breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, Su Xing's spiritual power was richer, and the spiritual energy within him was nearly inexhaustible, allowing him to execute the Li Fire Technique for more than an hour. Thus, his pill-making speed had also increased several-fold.

In just one day, Su Xing had successfully concocted 200 low-level Nourishing Face Pills.

"Phew... finally finished making them!"
