Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Commerce flourished!

This talent greatly aided Su Xing in the early stages.

It brought good fortune to the early commerce of the Tarot Society, allowing it to rise rapidly and provided a large amount of simulated energy.

"But now that the Tarot Commerce Association is on the right track... my main source of simulated energy is alien metal, so the flourishing commerce doesn't seem so important anymore..."

"Moreover, with Lucky Star and Fortune Avoidance blessings, my luck won't be too bad..."

After some hesitation, Su Xing said, Explore stories at empire

"Replace the Flourishing Commerce talent with the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart..."

[Ding, Talent Replacement in progress...]

[Ding, You successfully acquired the talent Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart, costing 10 million energy, remaining energy 11 billion 172 million 760 thousand points.]

[Ding, You successfully acquired a strand of Immortal Essence (Heart Refining) costing 3 billion energy, remaining energy 8 billion 172 million 760 thousand points...]

The prompt sound faded as two streams of energy flowed into Su Xing's body.

The Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart talent made Su Xing feel slightly different, more lively in thought...

But the bigger change was that strand of Immortal Essence!

A large number of memory fragments surged into Su Xing's mind...

From the crying baby in the cradle... to witnessing his three sisters getting married...

Then becoming the top scorer in the college entrance exam and returning home in glory...

Witnessing the outbreak of war and heading to the capital to aid the king...

Seeing meteors falling from the sky and immortal battles, filled with awe and longing...

Then searching for immortality in the latter half of life, only to die with regret and unwillingness...

A mortal's turbulent life was experienced by Su Xing in a mere moment.

When Su Xing opened his eyes again, a tear slid down from the corner of his eye...

"The difference between immortals and mortals... Is this what being an immortal is?"

Su Xing murmured, feeling a sense of realization in his heart!

From this moment on, Su Xing truly became a cultivator at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.

He had passed the most dangerous of the Five Heart Refining Trials, the Heart Refining Trial!

After a long silence, Su Xing glanced at the time.

"It's about time..."

Su Xing changed his appearance and suppressed his aura, leaving the Spirit Field Cave, and went to meet Lu Yuanwu as usual.

Lu Yuanwu had been waiting for a long time, and upon seeing Su Xing, he excitedly said, "Senior!"

Su Xing just nodded slightly, then waved his hand to take out the elixirs, saying lightly, "These are this week's goods..."

Lu Yuanwu quickly received them and thanked Su Xing after counting.

After Su Xing left, Lu Yuanwu murmured,

"Strange, why does it feel like the senior has become a bit different?"

"He used to feel as unfathomable as a mountain or abyss... now he seems a bit ordinary..."

Lu Yuanwu scratched his head, feeling a bit puzzled.

...

After parting ways with Lu Yuanwu, Su Xing once again used his sword to enter the Immortal Martial Era Instance.

Entering the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing began to attempt crafting puppets.

"Sigh... Although I'm now at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, I still have to work hard to gather energy!"

In the following week, Su Xing crafted miner puppets.

Within just a week, Su Xing had crafted three miner puppets.

Counting the four original puppets, there were a total of seven, each bringing Su Xing roughly 3.5 billion simulated energy per week!

After crafting the puppets, Su Xing installed mining tracking marks at the cores of several puppets.

Thus, once an alien metal vein was exhausted, they would automatically move to the surveyed mining areas for extraction.

After settling the miner puppets, Su Xing returned to Blue Star to find Jin Congxue.

After a meal, Su Xing exchanged a few words with Jin Congxue.

Handing over the week's elixirs and raw alien metal ores to Jin Congxue, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave.

...

In the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing looked at the energy on the simulation panel, murmuring,

"This week's energy is a bit more... Over 6 billion energy... and it will keep increasing in the future!"

Su Xing felt quite satisfied with this.

It was estimated that after two weeks, Su Xing would have 10 billion simulated energy coming in every week!

Until the alien metal veins were exhausted, and the more than 100,000 Essence-Nourishing Pills in Su Xing's possession were used up...

Taking advantage of the simulation cooldown not being complete, Su Xing began planning the next step of the simulation.

"Next, naturally, I'll need to pass the Primordial Spirit trial... striving to cultivate Divine Sense to ten thousand zhang and enter the Six Sense Realm, this trial can be passed steadily!"

"The resources needed for the Mana trial also need to be prepared in advance!"

Su Xing wasn't worried about the Primordial Spirit trial; what he anticipated more was the Mana trial!

While crossing the Mana trial, the more resources prepared and spiritual liquid injected, the more confident Su Xing was in passing it!

Although Su Xing currently possessed millions of spiritual liquids, it was still somewhat insufficient for him...

Besides, the amount of spiritual liquid required for cultivation after reaching the Immortal Realm would probably be even more!

So, Su Xing planned to gather a batch of resources in the upcoming simulation.

"Hmm, the simulation cooldown is almost complete!"

Su Xing glanced at the panel.

On May 26, 2025, in the New Era, Su Xing started a new round of simulation.

[Ding! This simulation consumed 8,900 points of energy, remaining energy 14 billion 232 million 760 thousand points, remaining simulation times unlimited.]

[Simulation begins!]

[Extracting Purple Talent costs 100 thousand energy, extracting Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 million energy, do you wish to extract?]

"Extract Golden Talent!" Su Xing whispered.

[Ding, Congratulations on acquiring the Purple Talent Hidden Weapon Master, the probability of obtaining Golden Talent next time is 60%...]

[Hidden Weapon Master]: Purple Talent, you have great insights into the use of hidden weapons, often able to catch people off-guard with them, possessing a cunning talent...

Su Xing: "..."

"As expected, a Purple Talent... but this talent doesn't seem very useful?"

Although Su Xing had considered crafting some hidden weapons, it would be too time-consuming and not as beneficial as improving swordsmanship and cultivation realm...

"Never mind, let's start the simulation!"

Su Xing shook his head slightly, his gaze turned to the simulation panel.

[In the Spirit Field Cave, you realized that you were in simulation.]

[You traded with Lu Yuanwu as scheduled, with no unexpected incidents...]
