In the real world, Su Xing looked at the simulation text in front of him, lost in thought.
"The Spirit Vein Dragon truly is a rare wonder of the world... If exposed, it could bring deadly misfortune!"
After a pause, Su Xing murmured,
"After obtaining the Spirit Vein Dragon, placing it in the Paradise Cave should avoid any immediate trouble..."
"Otherwise, if the Dragon Protector learns of it, I won't be able to avoid another chase."
"Moreover, my whereabouts in the simulator are likely compromised. The Dragon Protector will definitely follow the battle traces to find my identity!"
Su Xing shook his head slightly.
The battle with Master Wanmu left unavoidable traces, and with their skirmishes spanning a thousand miles, there were too many marks left behind for Su Xing to conceal.
"It seems... if I want to get the Spirit Vein Dragon in reality, it's safer to deal with Master Wanmu in the ruins to minimize the traces left behind..."
And to achieve this, Su Xing would likely need to break through to the Fusion Stage to suppress Master Wanmu absolutely.
He looked towards the simulation panel.
[In the Paradise Cave of Spirit Fields, you looked at the drunk Spirit Vein Dragon, knowing it would be safest for the young dragon to stay within the Paradise Cave of Spirit Fields.]
[The dragon slept for several months after getting drunk, yet it still didn't awaken.]
[You were puzzled by why this dragon slept so much.]
[What surprised you most was that, with the dragon in the Paradise Cave of Spirit Fields, even when it did nothing, the spiritual energy in the cave steadily increased.]
[In just a few months, the Paradise Cave of Spirit Fields began to produce some Mid Grade Spirit Liquid.]
[According to your calculations, if the young Spirit Dragon remained in the cave doing nothing, in less than ten years, the cave would ascend from a medium-grade cave to a superior one.]
[Every month, you checked the amount of spirit liquid in the Water Gathering Formation. Every month, it produced not only twenty thousand drops of low-grade spirit liquid but also a thousand drops of mid-grade spirit liquid.]
[During this time, you took the opportunity to explore Master Wanmu's storage ring.]
[In the ring, you didn't find many spirit stones but discovered numerous magical treasures, elixirs, and items for refining elixirs.]
[And the thing you longed for the most... the Heart Method of Wanmu!]
[With this heart method, you could unify three cultivation techniques and merge them into the Heavenly Grade Technique, Wanmu Technique.]
[The Wanmu Technique is a powerful cultivation technique that can be practiced to the Immortal Realm!]
[You temporarily didn't know the purpose of those elixirs and spiritual medicines.]
[However, the most perplexing to you was the charred piece of wood you obtained earlier.]
[The wood appeared ordinary, but it seemed to contain some kind of Dao essence, though you couldn't figure out what it was after days of contemplation, so you put it aside for the time being...]
In the real world, Su Xing's eyes lit up when he saw this.
"Goodness, the appearance of the Spirit Vein Dragon... producing mid-grade spirit liquid in just a few months..."
"And as time goes on, the spiritual energy in the Paradise Cave of Spirit Fields will become denser, producing more and more mid-grade spirit liquid..."
Su Xing nodded with satisfaction.
"The effect and value of mid-grade spirit liquid are ten times that of low-grade spirit liquid! Consuming a single drop of mid-grade spirit liquid is equivalent to cultivating directly with low-grade spirit stones... This will speed up the cultivation of spiritual power greatly!"
Su Xing was somewhat excited and couldn't wait to subdue the spirit dragon.
"I just wonder how long the spirit dragon will sleep after getting drunk?"
Su Xing was somewhat curious and murmured,
"Besides that, the treasures in Master Wanmu's storage magical artifact are surprisingly numerous!"
"Especially that piece of wood, what is its origin that it contains Dao essence?"
"And the Heart Method of Wanmu... the path for cultivation after the Fusion Stage is clear!"
Su Xing's face showed joy as he looked towards the simulation panel.
[You stayed in the Paradise Cave of Spirit Fields daily, observing the changes in the Spirit Vein Dragon.]
[Soon, you noticed that during its sleep, the Spirit Vein Dragon seemed to show painful expressions from time to time.]
[Occasionally, the Spirit Vein Dragon would exhale black gas, which, when it contaminated the spirit fields, would cause the spirit plants to wither and reduce the purity of the surrounding spiritual energy.]
[You felt a tightness in your chest and carefully used your divine sense to investigate the condition of the Spirit Vein Dragon.]
[Eventually, you discovered that the black gas was the reason for the dragon's condition.]
[You guessed the black gas originated from the ruins of the Wan Mu Sect, created by the immense resentment the Spirit Vein Dragon accumulated while trapped in the formation for countless years...]
[However, this was unlike ordinary resentment, seemingly born from the spirit of heaven and earth, unwilling to see the Spirit Vein Dragon suffer back then.]
[Unable to resolve this black gas, you created a small area for the Spirit Vein Dragon to sleep alone, setting up several formations to isolate it from the surrounding area.]
[You tried to prevent the black gas from contaminating the nearby spirit plants and spiritual energy as much as possible.]
[Several months passed as the Spirit Vein Dragon continued to sleep.]
[In the twenty-second year, the Spirit Vein Dragon finally awoke from its slumber. You noticed that the black gas on its body seemed to have lessened but still caused the dragon occasional pain.]
[The Spirit Vein Dragon opened its eyes and looked around. The abundant spiritual energy in the air delighted it greatly.]
[Like a playful fish, the Spirit Dragon eagerly jumped around the Paradise Cave of Spirit Fields, destroying many spirit plants.]
[You were rather helpless about this and could only repeatedly persuade the Spirit Vein Dragon.]
[Having been trapped in the small formation for hundreds or even thousands of years, the Spirit Vein Dragon was naturally curious and lively, remaining defiant and ignoring you.]
