And Su Xing handed over the Fasting Pills he had been refining for two weeks to Jin Congxue, asking Jin Congxue to have them appraised by a specialized appraiser.
After one and a half months, Su Xing would be able to accumulate enough Fasting Pills and find a way to acquire the second-tier exotic metal mine dungeon.
Soon, the meeting between the two ended, and Su Xing, with the new week's goods, covertly left the villa and returned to the Spirit Field Cave.
Inside the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing exchanged the new week's goods for simulation energy, thus adding another hundred million energy.
Su Xing's energy had reached one billion and fifty million.
Looking at the balance on his simulation panel with satisfaction, Su Xing murmured,
"This time, I shall try entering the Void Domain to explore... Dragon Protector, I really want to see what you are made of!"
On November 18th, 2024 of the New Era, Su Xing promptly started a new round of simulation.
[Ding! This simulation consumes 6,200 energy points, leaving 10 billion 51 million and 330 thousand energy points remaining, with unlimited simulation attempts.]
[Simulation initiated!]
[Drawing a Purple Talent costs 100,000 energy points, drawing a Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 million energy points, would you like to draw?]
Hearing this, Su Xing did not hesitate and replied,
"Draw a Golden quality talent!"
[Ding, congratulations on drawing the Purple Talent 'Breaking the Great Defense', your odds of drawing a Golden quality talent next time are 30%...]
[Breaking the Great Defense]: Purple Talent, you always manage to crush your enemies' psychological defenses with miraculous skill. Once their psychological defenses are shattered, targets are highly susceptible to emotional manipulation, and their strength diminishes accordingly. (Red warmth state activated~)
Seeing the newly drawn talent, Su Xing raised an eyebrow.
"Well, well, this ability seems to have some similarities with the 'So Small, So Cute' one I drew before..."
"Only this one is about weakening the opponent's strength rather than drawing hate, huh?"
"I wonder how effective it actually is?"
Su Xing decided to try out the effects of the simulation.
His gaze shifted to the simulation panel.
[Inside the Spirit Field Cave, you are aware that you are simulating.]
[You continue to make Elixirs as usual, and half a month later, you meet with Luo Shuying as promised.]
[Following Luo Shuying, you join the Descending Sect and take up the role of a protector.]
[As usual, you skillfully captivate a large number of admirers.]
[However, you have plans for the future and decide to concentrate on Elixir making for now.]
[In the blink of an eye, two years pass, and you have produced all the Elixirs from the Descending Sect's treasury, and you have created a batch of Soul Condensing Pills for future use.]
[Seeing that the time is ripe, you prepare to defect from the Descending Sect with Luo Shuying.]
[You slay all the protectors who come after you.]
[After killing seven protectors at the peak of Martial Emperor Level, you still crave more, so you head back to the great camp of the Descending Sect.]
[There, you encounter the leaders of the Nature Faction and the Zealous Faction.]
[These two faction leaders seem to be not from Blue Star but from other minor worlds.]
[Without a doubt, both faction leaders are legendary peak powerhouses, with the leader of the Zealous Faction being slightly stronger.]
[But legendary peak, in front of you, is no different from weaklings... You slaughter the two faction leaders as easily as chopping vegetables.]
[Before dying, the Zealous Faction leader looks at you bitterly, saying that the chief will surely avenge him!]
Su Xing slightly frowned upon reading this, it was just as he had anticipated, that the faction leaders were far from the Descending Sect's strongest forces, huh?
"Chief? This indicates... there indeed exists a transcendent legendary figure within the Descending Sect, could it be the Dragon Protector?"
Su Xing felt puzzled, but he quickly shook his head in negation.
"It shouldn't be, if it were the Dragon Protector... perhaps the leader would say that the Dragon Protector will avenge him..."
"But if it's not the Dragon Protector, who could it be?"
Su Xing pondered, recalling various information about the Descending Sect.
From his perspective, the Descending Sect did not seem to be an organization with a very tight internal structure.
Or rather, the sect was not very strict with its low-tier disciples.
Because even college students like Wang Qingxuan were among those chosen to join the Descending Sect.
But at the same time, the Descending Sect had very high demands for its officer-level disciples.
Elders, protectors, and leaders - these three levels were almost absolute in their suppression from top to bottom.
And it seemed that until the level of protector, there was not much known about the leaders and above.
This was the first time Su Xing had heard of the existence of a "chief" from the mouth of a faction leader.
"However, there are three major factions, and there seems to be a leader of a Conservative Faction... who never seemed to appear?"
Su Xing slightly frowned. Who could this Conservative Faction leader be?
"Could it be... the Dragon Protector?"
An idea arose in Su Xing's mind, but he found it somewhat unbelievable right after.
"The Dragon Protector... would be a Conservative?"
"The one who hopes for coexistence between the Foreign Race and the Human Race?"
"Is this the same Dragon Protector who initially performed the blood sacrifice using the Human Race... wait, the blood sacrifice!"
Su Xing suddenly realized that maybe the Dragon Protector truly was the leader of the Conservative Faction!
Because the Dragon Protector needed human souls for the blood sacrifice, and the blood sacrifice could extend his lifespan.
But if the Human Race were to die out, how would the Dragon Protector continue to perform blood sacrifices?
"Looking at it this way... the Dragon Protector's wish for coexistence between races is actually about keeping his offerings!"
"He wants to turn all Careerists of Blue Star into his sacrifices!"
Su Xing took a sharp breath, seemingly getting an inkling of the Dragon Protector's purpose.
"Whether it's true or not remains unclear... but with this in mind, the faction leaders should have had contact with the Chief!"
"If I wish to find the identity of the Chief within the Descending Sect, I still need to start with the Dragon Protector!"
