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

Su Xing's heart trembled wildly upon seeing this.

Soul Searching Technique!

This was definitely a spell that only Cultivators would master!

Yet in this world, the only person with the profession of a practitioner was supposedly himself.

After all, Cultivator was the sole hidden profession!

But why, then, could this Dragon Protector use a spell unique to Cultivators?

"Wait a second... Is this Dragon Protector really a professional?"

Su Xing's mind stirred, indeed there was only one person with the Cultivator profession in this world, and that was Su Xing himself, but there were definitely other Cultivators besides him.

Not to look too far, just take Su Xing's master, Qing Yunzi, who came from the side branch of the Qingyun Sect, right?

"So... is there a possibility that this protector comes from the characters within a certain copy?"

The more Su Xing thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, especially since those Demonic Beasts from the Foreign Races came from other copies but could invade the real world.

And this Dragon Protector, being from a certain copy and indigenous to that copy, that would explain things.

The connection between the Descending Sect and the Foreign Races was very close, which made this a possibility!

Su Xing took a deep breath, the secrets of the Descending Sect were multiplying, even causing him a spine-tingling sense of horror.

They could not only contact the Foreign Races but also form alliances with some NPCs from the copies.

The Descending Sect's waters were deeper than he had imagined.

"Luckily, I haven't gotten involved with the Descending Sect in the real world... otherwise, no amount of lives would be enough to spare!"

Su Xing felt some relief, then thought:

"However, the Descending Sect is indeed a good place to grind for experience, as long as one doesn't personally go into the sect's treasury, they could still gain many benefits."

Su Xing shook his head lightly and turned his attention to the simulation rewards.

[Sword Dao Genius]: Blue talent, price 100,000 energy points.

[Bone Tempering Great Perfection]: Cultivation Level, price 11,000 energy points.

[Seven Years of Alchemy Experience]: Contains your seven years of insights into alchemy, including proficient mastery of formulas like the Essence-Nourishing Pill and the Spirit-Nourishing Pill, price 70,000 energy points.

[Triple Layer of Golden Core Stage]: Qi Refining Cultivation of the third layer of the Golden Core Stage, and due to your continuous consumption of the Essence-Nourishing Pill, the Spirit Pill within your Dantian has become more solid, nearing the quality of a top-grade Spirit Pill. Price 200,000 energy points.

[Concentration Pill Technique]: A secret method for concentrating pills, capable of condensing up to a Nine Revolution Golden Core, very precious to a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, price 100,000 energy points.

[One Hundred and Twenty Spiritual Medicines]: Price 600,000 energy points.

Su Xing fell into thought as he looked at the five rewards before him.

Firstly, the Concentration Pill Technique had to be a chosen reward, since he nearly lost his life obtaining this secret technique, and if he didn't choose it, he would inevitably have to visit the treasury of the Descending Sect again in the next simulation, which meant another death.

As for the option of one hundred and twenty Spiritual Medicines, it could be excluded, as the price was too high, and Su Xing did not need such high-level Spiritual Medicines for refining Nourishing Face Pills for now.

After hesitating for a long time, Su Xing still chose the seven years of Alchemy Experience from among the cultivation experience, talent, and Alchemy Experience.

The reason was the same, though the Sword Dao Genius seemed tempting, Su Xing temporarily did not possess the Sword Cultivator's cultivation technique, so it would be a waste.

"I choose the seven years of Alchemy Experience, as well as the Concentration Pill Technique!"

As Su Xing's words fell, a prompt sound came to his ear.

[Ding, you have chosen to carry out seven years of Alchemy Experience, costing 70,000 points of energy, leaving a remaining energy balance of 623,000 points.]

[Ding, you have chosen to carry out the secret technique of Condensing Core, costing 100,000 points of energy, leaving a remaining energy balance of 523,000 points.]

A deluge of alchemy memories flooded into Su Xing's mind, making him feel that his grasp on the Essence-Nourishing Pill and the Spirit-Nourishing Pill had advanced even further.

Upon opening the Professional Panel, it turned out to be true, Su Xing had already mastered the method to refine Spirit-Nourishing Pills at an accomplished level, and his Essence-Nourishing Pills had reached the Mahayana Level.

Meanwhile, an ancient secret manual had appeared in Su Xing's hands.

The cover was inscribed with three bold characters, written in a dragon-and-phoenix calligraphy style: Condensing Core Technique.

Unable to wait, Su Xing immediately flipped open the Condensing Core Technique to start reviewing its contents; two hours later, he slowly lifted his head, a smile spreading across his face.

The Condensing Core Technique was not difficult to learn; one could successfully master this secret technique in just a matter of days.

However, the difficult part was the constant refining and condensing of the Golden Core!

According to the description in the Condensing Core Technique, common cultivators could only aim to reach a medium-grade Golden Core in their lifetime.

As for cultivators with dual Spiritual Roots, they could potentially achieve a high-grade Golden Core.

As for the Nine Revolution Golden Core, only those with a singular Spiritual Root could possibly cultivate it!

The Condensing Core Technique recorded the following:

"In the 78369th year of the Immortal Era, during the zenith of cultivation, all sects between heaven and earth could learn the technique of condensing the core, to form the supreme Nine Revolution Golden Core.

Yet among the countless cultivators in our realm, only twenty or thirty individuals are able to condense the Nine Revolution Golden Core in a year, merely half of what it was during the ancient times of great prosperity."

This roughly means that in that year, the entire world had only twenty or thirty people who could condense the Nine Revolution Golden Core in an entire year, a number only achievable in a prosperous era of cultivation.

The book's mention of countless cultivators probably signifies their abundance, but Su Xing does not know the exact number of cultivators.

Yet, based on Su Xing's estimation, perhaps among tens of hundreds of thousands, or even millions of cultivators, only one would be able to condense a Nine Revolution Golden Core.

Of course, condensing a Nine Revolution Golden Core isn't necessarily a good thing, since it takes far too much time!

According to the records in the book, the Nine Revolution Golden Core should have nine patterns on it, and on average, each pattern requires ten to several tens of years to form.

After practicing the Condensing Core Technique, however, the time needed for condensing the core could be halved...

Even so, for those of mediocre talent, the Nine Revolution Golden Core remains an insurmountable challenge.

But Su Xing was not afraid!

The one thing he wasn't lacking was time; if one simulation didn't work, then he would try a second time, and if twice wasn't enough, then ten times! With each simulation, as long as Su Xing didn't die prematurely, he had fifteen years to cultivate—surely enough time to condense the Nine Revolution Golden Core!

Most importantly, the description of the Nine Revolution Golden Core in the Condensing Core Technique was simply too tempting.

"Those who condense the Nine Revolution Golden Core can fight against Nascent Soul elders of higher tiers as easily as eating and drinking!"

Meaning that, once you've cultivated the Nine Revolution Golden Core, fighting across higher tiers is as simple as eating and drinking.

With such a great temptation, how could Su Xing resist?

"First learn the Condensing Core Technique, then in the simulations, condense the high-grade Golden Core. Repeatedly doing so, I should be able to eventually bring the Nine Revolution Golden Core out."

Su Xing set a small plan for himself in his heart.

"Now I temporarily have enough energy, as long as I can refine a sufficient number of Essence-Nourishing Pills, replenishing close to one million points of energy every week is not a difficult task... Moreover, once the Tarot Society is established, there will be an even greater quantity of white-quality equipment. By then, I could even harvest several million points of energy a week!"

Su Xing clenched his fists tightly, feeling a bright future ahead.

All he needed to do now was to lay low and develop well. With enough energy, he would have enough cultivation level!
