Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[In the fifth year, you processed all the medicinal materials in the Great Xia treasury, adding several thousand Grandmaster Level powerhouses to the human race.]

[At the same time, you also concocted thousands of Dragon Spirit Pills and Origin Martial Pills. You kept over a thousand Dragon Spirit Pills and several hundred Origin Martial Pills for your own use, and you contributed all the other pills to the Great Xia Military.]

[With your help, the Great Xia Country gained several hundred more cultivators at the Heavenly King Level.]

[With the remaining time, you crafted quite a number of Soul Condensing Pills and gifted them to Luo Shuying, helping her and the Spirit Race break through their level of strength.]

[In the sixth year, with your help, Luo Shuying successfully advanced to a Legendary Level powerhouse.]

[Then you spent half a year concocting a batch of Wound Healing Pills, and after all this, you began to practice cultivation earnestly.]

[In the seventh year, you secluded yourself for half a year, cultivating daily underground, feeling yourself getting closer and closer to the Nascent Soul eighth level.]

[In the eighth year, after continuous seclusion, you finally broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage eighth level, advancing your cultivation level even further!]

Su Xing frowned slightly upon seeing this.

The advancement of his late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation was more difficult than he had imagined.

Excluding the two and a half years spent on alchemy, it took him nearly six years to advance from the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage to the eighth level.

At this rate, in this simulation, he would likely only manage to reach Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage, and that was if he was lucky.

But if luck was poor, he might only manage to cultivate up to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage…

“Hopefully, I can successfully break through to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage…”

Su Xing silently prayed in his heart, his gaze turning back to the simulation panel.

[In the ninth year, you meditated and cultivated daily, frantically absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy and consuming Dragon Spirit Pills to increase the speed at which you absorbed spiritual energy.]

[But the path of cultivation is inherently against the natural order, and in the later stages of the Nascent Soul period, ordinary cultivators could spend decades unable to break through even a minor realm. Although you possess a True Spiritual Root and cultivate at an astonishing speed, attempting to break through a minor realm in just a few years remains extremely difficult.]

[Furthermore, as cultivating becomes increasingly hard to advance, your mentality grows more and more impatient, negatively affecting the speed of your cultivation, thus creating a vicious cycle.]

[Consequently, you began to look for alternative methods. You took out ancient alchemy texts of fire element refining, hoping to find formulas to increase the speed of your cultivation.]

[After several days of continuous searching, you unexpectedly found some clues.]

[There was a type of pill called the Clear Mirror Pill that could enhance the cultivator’s mental state during cultivation, achieving a kind of ethereal state, thereby effectively increasing the efficiency of cultivation.]

[The Clear Mirror Pill was a lower-grade elixir, and its concoction was not complex. The main ingredient, Clear Mirror Grass, was also common and available in the Descending Sect’s treasury.]

[What surprised you even more was that, upon reviewing the texts on elixirs, you discovered mention of a pill called the Infant Tempering Pill, accompanied by several rumors.]

[This Infant Tempering Pill could elevate the quality of one’s Nascent Soul, and after breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Stage, it could help one go further on the path of cultivation and increase the amount of spiritual energy in the dantian.]

[According to the book, Nascent Souls are divided into lower, middle, and upper grades, and above the third grade, there is a perfect Nascent Soul. The only regret is that the recipe lacks the most critical main medicine, preventing you from concocting it.]

Su Xing frowned slightly upon reading this. The speed of Nascent Soul cultivation was already slower than he imagined, and if he had the Clear Mirror Pill, perhaps he could improve.

But what are these four grades of Nascent Souls all about? Could it be that Nascent Souls also have levels of quality?

Even so, without the recipe, how could he concoct the Infant Tempering Pill or achieve a perfect Nascent Soul?

Su Xing felt a bit vexed for a moment and, after some hesitation, he could only sigh and say,

“Well then, first I’ll focus on raising my cultivation level to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage. Next time I attend the Luo Tian Conference, I’ll inquire about what these four grades of Nascent Souls are all about…”

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

[Subsequently, you spent half a year learning to concoct the Clear Mirror Pill and successfully produced several hundred of them.]

[You began consuming Clear Mirror Pills and continued to maintain your cultivation regimen, finding that the effects of the pill were exceptional. After ingestion, your mind became ethereal, your whole being calmed down, allowing you to delve deeper into cultivation. Your overall cultivation speed increased by thirty percent.]

[Over the following few months, you consumed Clear Mirror Pills daily, but eventually, you discovered the side effect of this pill; if you took it continuously on multiple occasions, it was easy to become indolent from a mind as clear as a mirror, content with cultivation, and disengaged from everything else during a so-called sage time.]

[Out of necessity, you reduced the frequency with which you took the Clear Mirror Pill, taking a few and then resting for a day or two. Overall, your cultivation speed increased by about twenty percent.]

[Even so, you were quite satisfied, for a lower-grade elixir to augment cultivation speed by twenty percent was already no small feat. For you, this pace was sufficient.]

[In the tenth year, you still practiced cultivation daily, and the Clear Mirror Pill allowed you to become imperturbable, oblivious to the passing of years.]

[In the eleventh year, dire news came from the front lines at Demon-Subduing Pass that the supply lines had been cut off, throwing the military into disarray. You timely produced the Fasting Pills and Wound Healing Pills that you had pre-concocted, averting this crisis.]
