[Artifact Refining Insight]: Insight into the Path of Artifact Refining, reaching the level of a Grandmaster in Artifact Refining. Due to insufficient mana, it's difficult to refine top-tier Immortal Treasures, priced at 10,000 Origin Energy Source.
During this simulation, besides improving his Qi Refining Cultivation, Su Xing spent almost all of his time on artifact refining to secure enough resources for cultivation.
"The Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Observation Method has finally been completely gathered..."
Su Xing pondered for a while and then said:
"I choose to take out the Golden Talent 'Inborn Unique Meridian'... and the Fourth Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm cultivation level!"
The cultivation level was a reward that had to be taken out. As for the Golden Talent, the double cultivation speed boost made it hard for Su Xing not to be tempted.
[You have successfully taken out the Golden Talent 'Inborn Unique Meridian,' costing 10 Origin Energy Source points, leaving 172,346 points remaining...]
[You have successfully taken out the Fourth Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm cultivation level, costing 90,000 Origin Energy Source points, leaving 82,336 points remaining...]
After the simulation prompt sounded, two streams of profound energy surged into Su Xing's body.
'Inborn Unique Meridian' officially became Su Xing's twenty-second talent.
Currently, Su Xing's talent limit was twenty-five, meaning he had three more talents to choose from freely.
Aside from gaining one more talent, Su Xing's cultivation aura rapidly increased as well.
Second Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm... Third Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm...
Fourth Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm!
Su Xing's cultivation level advanced from the early stage of the Earth Immortal Realm to the mid-stage!
The entire cost, taking no more than one hundred and sixty years, matched what an ordinary Earth Immortal Realm cultivator would take four to five thousand years of hard work to achieve...
Su Xing slowly rose, exhaling a breath of turbid air, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad, the speed of improving my Qi Refining cultivation level has not fallen behind..."
"At this rate, it will take at most three more simulations to reach the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal Realm!"
Su Xing's expression showed some excitement.
To be able to guarantee a breakthrough to a new major realm within four simulations while still in the Earth Immortal Realm, this speed was beyond his expectations.
After all, four simulations would be roughly equivalent to only a month in the real world.
At this rate, achieving the True Immortal Realm within a year was entirely feasible!
The only troublesome part was the shortage of cultivation resources and energy...
"Phew... But fortunately, there's still the promised 300,000 Origin Energy Source from Lu Yuanwu this week, which can sustain me for a while longer!"
Su Xing checked the time, disguised himself, and prepared to meet Lu Yuanwu for the transaction.
Moments later, Su Xing appeared in the mountains on the outskirts of Kyoto.
At the designated meeting place, Lu Yuanwu had been waiting for quite some time.
Upon seeing Su Xing appear, he hurried forward, handing over a storage ring and said:
"Senior, here is the promised 20,000 tons of fourth-rank special metal..."
Lu Yuanwu, though graying at the temples, looked much healthier than before and spoke in amazement.
Su Xing took the storage ring, and a thought arose in his mind as the simulator's prompt sounded in his ear.
[Ding, detected substantial Origin Energy Source material, worth a total of 300,000 Origin Energy Source points, absorb?]
Su Xing silently commanded, and the special metal was completely absorbed.
Su Xing nodded in satisfaction and then waved his hand, making thirty bottles of Divine Strength Pills appear in front of Lu Yuanwu.
Exactly three hundred pills, each one of the highest quality!
Lu Yuanwu's face lit up with joy, hurriedly storing the elixirs while he couldn't help but flatter Su Xing.
"Senior, you are truly noble and selfless... You have made a great contribution to our Human Race!"
"Senior... My admiration for you is like the vast, endless river, like the mighty, overflowing Yellow River..."
Listening to the flattering remarks spilling from Lu Yuanwu, a strange look appeared on Su Xing's face.
Who would have thought that the dignified Martial Emperor of Great Xia Country would be so good at flattery?
Su Xing contemplated for a moment and then spoke earnestly to Lu Yuanwu:
"Little Lu! We've been working together for some time... Let me ask you, do you want to become a Legendary-level powerhouse?"
Hearing Su Xing's words, Lu Yuanwu paused, then his face turned red with excitement, and he stammered:
"Senior... Can I, can I really break through to the Legendary Level?"
Lu Yuanwu rarely showed such loss of composure. Even the previous information about the Divine Strength Pill hadn't excited him this much.
As a Martial Emperor-level powerhouse who had been in a high position for many years, Lu Yuanwu immediately captured numerous implications from Su Xing's short statement.
Firstly, Su Xing had the ability to help a Martial Emperor-level powerhouse advance to the Legendary Level!
Secondly, Su Xing was willing to help him advance to the Legendary Level!
This was a Legendary-level powerhouse!
Throughout the Great Xia Country, there were only a dozen or so, and they were all stationed at the Demon-Subduing Pass!
Throughout the entire Human Race, there were no more than thirty Legendary-level powerhouses...
Lu Yuanwu had been stuck at the peak of the Martial Emperor level for nearly a hundred years...
Aside from the lack of absolute confidence in advancing to the Legendary Level, he was also worried that after breaking through to the Legendary Level, he might not be able to stay on Blue Star and might lose himself...
If he could break through to the Legendary Level, he might even be laughing in his dreams!
Seeing Lu Yuanwu's loss of composure, Su Xing was mentally prepared and said:
"Ahem, I do have the capability to help Martial Emperor-level professionals break through to the Legendary Level..."
"However, this method is quite troublesome..."
Su Xing feigned hesitation and said:
"How about this? I'll help you break through to the Legendary Level... You give me 10,000 tons of fourth-rank special metal, how about it?"
Su Xing paused here and then added, "Consider this our private deal!"
Su Xing proposed this naturally with his own calculations in mind.
Firstly, 10,000 tons of fourth-rank special metal, worth 200,000 Origin Energy Source, was quite significant for him and could greatly replenish his resources.
Secondly, there would be many more dealings with Lu Yuanwu in the future. Su Xing felt it necessary to help Lu Yuanwu elevate his position within Great Xia Country.
