"Not bad, I eliminated that damned Zong once again, and Luo Shuying still trusts me!"
Su Xing let out a long sigh.
There were still 8 days until October 8th, and Su Xing could only simulate one more time at most.
To ensure that absolutely no unforeseen events happened, Su Xing needed to experience the process of killing that damned Zong and the subsequent steps as many times as possible.
He glanced at the Simulation Panel.
[After killing that damned Zong, you encountered Luo Shuying.]
[With the added effect of the Master of Success talent, Luo Shuying fully trusted you.]
[You and Luo Shuying agreed to meet in a month; she would bring the Condensing Spirit Wood.]
[You returned to Kyoto to continue enhancing your cultivation level and practicing the Li Fire Technique.]
[A month later, you met Luo Shuying and, upon her recommendation, joined the Descending Sect.]
[After joining the Descending Sect, you quickly gained a large following of devotees with the Master of Success talent.]
[You refined Soul Condensing Pills for Luo Shuying, helping her break through to the Legendary Level.]
[Afterwards, you stayed in the Descending Sect daily, amassing a considerable amount of medicinal herbs.]
[Each day, you did three things: alchemy, cultivation, and practicing the Li Fire Technique...]
[Thus, two years passed by quickly...]
[In the third year, with the aid of spiritual liquid and high-grade spirit stones, your cultivation level advanced to the fourth layer of the Return to Void Realm!]
[You became a mid-stage cultivator in the Return to Void Realm!]
[You felt the time was right and prepared to defect with Luo Shuying, joining the Great Xia Military.]
[After joining the Great Xia Military, over twenty thousand devotees from the Descending Sect sought you out overnight, demanding an explanation.]
[Using the Master of Success talent, you convinced them to become a dare-to-die unit at the Demon-Subduing Pass, which the Demon Race feared greatly...]
[From then on, you continued daily alchemy, enhancing your cultivation level, and practicing the Li Fire Technique...]
[You took the time to visit the Immortal Martial Era Instance, found the relic of the Wan Mu Sect, and retrieved all its spirit stones and advanced spiritual medicine.]
[In the fourth year, you exhausted all the herbs you had collected, having refined more than two hundred thousand elixirs, significantly boosting the strength of the Great Xia Military.]
[You knew that with this, the Demon-Subduing Pass could hold out for at least twenty-five years, so you focused entirely on cultivating the Li Fire Technique and improving your cultivation level.]
[In the fifth year, you ran out of your last medium-grade spirit stone and were reluctantly forced to use low-grade spirit stones for cultivation.]
[Training with low-grade spirit stones was much slower, but your cultivation level still steadily improved.]
[That same year, you gained further insights into the Li Fire Alchemy from your repeated alchemy practices and cultivation.]
[Thus, two more years passed slowly.]
[In the seventh year, your cultivation level remained at the fourth layer of the Return to Void Realm, with a long way to go before breaking through to the fifth layer.]
[The good news was that your mastery of the Li Fire Technique improved daily, nearing the Mahayana Level...]
Seeing this, Su Xing couldn't help but sigh:
"Indeed, using spiritual liquid for cultivation is the true path!"
"But to get more spiritual liquid, I need to upgrade the Spirit Field Cave... which means I need to plant more Gathering Spirit Flowers!"
Su Xing frowned slightly, contemplating whether to spend energy and simulation opportunities to obtain more Gathering Spirit Flowers.
"Currently... I have over three thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers in my Spirit Field Cave."
"To upgrade to a medium-grade cave, I'll probably need at least ten thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers... each one costs a hundred thousand simulation energy, which means I need seven billion energy!"
Su Xing calculated that he could indeed gather seven billion energy.
But the question was, was it worth it to spend so much energy on Gathering Spirit Flowers?
Soon, Su Xing made a decision.
"If I had more spiritual liquid at the Return to Void Realm, I could reach the Great Perfection stage of the Return to Void Realm very quickly!"
"Moreover, in the later stages, the Body Integration Realm and the Mahayana Realm... I will likely need even more Gathering Spirit Flowers!"
"The sooner I get them, the sooner I benefit... it seems I should attempt to bring out Gathering Spirit Flowers in my next simulation..."
Thinking this way, Su Xing turned his gaze back to the Simulation Panel.
[In the eighth year, your mastery of the Li Fire Technique improved daily.]
[You consumed fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones this year, making significant progress towards the fifth layer of the Return to Void Realm.]
[In the ninth year, you took out all the spiritual liquid you'd collected over the years, over four hundred thousand drops, preparing to break through to the fifth layer of the Return to Void Realm in one go!]
[Two months later, on a bright and sunny morning, your aura continually surged.]
[Finally, you successfully broke through to the fifth layer of the Return to Void Realm!]
[In the tenth year, you spent most of your time each day practicing the Li Fire Technique.]
[By now, the temperature of your Li Fire Technique was many times higher than before, and its range extended an astonishing thousand feet!]
[With just a thought, the Li Fire Technique could appear anywhere within a thousand feet.]
[You could feel that your mastery of the Li Fire Technique was nearing the Mahayana Level!]
[In the eleventh year, one day while you were practicing the Li Fire Technique as usual...]
[After a series of fire control and temperature enhancement exercises, you were surprised to find that the temperature of your Li Fire Technique had increased by more than double!]
[Moreover, the range of your Li Fire Technique reached three thousand feet!]
[Your mastery of the Li Fire Technique naturally advanced to the Mahayana Level.]
Seeing this, Su Xing felt very satisfied.
"Not bad, the difficult part of practicing the Li Fire Technique is needing enough divine sense and spiritual power..."
"And I happen to have both!"
"Ten years to achieve Great Mastery in the Li Fire Technique isn't slow at all..."
Although this stage of the Li Fire Technique practice wasn't particularly challenging, it was a reward that Su Xing had to choose.
After all, Su Xing still needed the Li Fire Technique to refine the Rebirth Pill!
"Next, I should be able to refine the Legendary Level Rebirth Pill on schedule, right?"
