Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Condensing a Superior Golden Core, The Open Source Plan!

Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this and murmured to himself,

“Although I can’t stay in the outside world, it’s safe within the Spirit Field Blessed Land, and the remaining elixirs are enough for me to cultivate for several years. I just hope that after obtaining enough elixirs, Great Xia Country and Demon-Subduing Pass can hold out a bit longer.”

The exposure of providing Essence-Nourishing Pills to Great Xia was actually within Su Xing’s expectations, after all, it involved tens of thousands of pills which once poured in, could significantly make up for the deficiency in the country’s middle strength.

And such a large number of elixirs would easily attract the attention of the Descending Sect.

“But, how exactly was it leaked?”

Su Xing frowned slightly.

There were two possibilities for the leak. The first was that there were thousands of professionals taking the elixirs, and with such a large number of people, a leak was bound to happen.

The second was that there were spies from the Descending Sect among the high ranks of Great Xia, and it was these spies who exposed Su Xing’s provision of elixirs.

“I just hope it’s not the second possibility…”

Su Xing muttered to himself, the presence of Descending Sect spies within the upper echelons of Great Xia was definitely not good news.

Su Xing continued the simulation.

[Year thirteen, your Golden Core became brighter, changing from its original pale gold to a rich shade of gold, and your Spirit Pills were more spirited than ever.]

[Because you were alone in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, and were not disturbed by the outside world, your cultivation speed was even three times faster than before. The only thing you found difficult to accept was the loneliness. For two years, since you dared not venture out and had no one to converse with, you almost forgot how to talk.]

[Fortunately, there were a flock of Spirit Chickens in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, and watching the Spirit Chickens boast and fight became the only joy in your life.]

[Year fourteen, with your relentless cultivation, your Golden Core eventually broke through to the Superior Golden Core. You could feel that the amount of Spiritual Power inside you was more than twice that of an ordinary cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage.]

[On March 8, 2038 of the New Era, you felt the space quivering, and you returned to the real world before the Spirit Field Blessed Land shattered.]

[A gigantic beast that blotted out the sun and sky swallowed the entire Great Xia Country, and you died at the age of 38!]

[You triggered your talent, “Unwilling to Close Your Eyes in Death,” only to see endless darkness.]

[Ding, simulation complete!]

With the simulation over, Su Xing’s attention returned from the simulation panel before his eyes.

“The apocalypse on March 8, 2038, huh… If I remember correctly, when I was helping the Descending Sect, wasn’t the apocalypse date September 23, 2037?”

Su Xing nodded slightly to himself.

“It seems that helping the Great Xia Military improve their strength can indeed effectively delay the end of the real world!”

Su Xing felt a wave of joy in his heart, as long as the future was not immutable, then with his ever-growing strength and superior alchemy skills, he could further slow down the time until the destruction of the real world.

The later the real world destruction occurred, the more time Su Xing would have to improve his own strength, thus forming a positive cycle.

Su Xing was like a butterfly influencing the trajectory of the future, subtly changing the course of what was to come.

“After this simulation ends, I can basically confirm that working under the Shadow Protector involves no risk to my life. Although the Shadow Protector always wants me to transform my body, he is overall a decent supervisor…”

As Su Xing thought this, in this simulation, it was because he had first betrayed the Descending Sect that he became wanted within the sect, and the Shadow Protector’s look of disappointment when confronting him face-to-face was unmistakably genuine.

After carefully reviewing the details of this simulation and confirming there were no omissions, Su Xing murmured,

“Now it’s time to choose the reward for this simulation…”

[True Spiritual Root of Wood and Fire]: Blue talent, priced at 100,000 energy points.

[Golden Core Stage Great Perfection]: High-quality golden core, naturally perfect, with twice the spiritual power density of a regular cultivator, and just one step away from the Nascent Soul Stage, priced at 1 million energy points.

[Ten Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, priced at 100,000 energy points.

[1000 Essence-Nourishing Pills]: Low-grade elixirs that can refine spiritual power and thicken mana, priced at 10 million energy points.

This time, the choice for the simulated reward was almost a foregone conclusion. The True Spiritual Root of Wood and Fire could greatly enhance Su Xing’s talent for cultivation, so it was a must-have.

And the Cultivation Level of Golden Core Stage Great Perfection would nearly enhance Su Xing’s strength by fifty percent, another must-have.

“It’s just a pity that I have less than 800,000 energy points right now, still over 300,000 points short…”

Su Xing frowned slightly because as the number of simulation iterations increased, the higher the cultivation he required to bring out, the higher the energy cost for the properties and items became.

Even though Su Xing now had a stable source of energy every week, it was still somewhat insufficient.

“Since the energy is a bit short, I must find a way to increase income and reduce expenses…but reducing expenses is impossible. After all, it concerns the growth of cultivation. If I slow down the energy consumption of the simulations, my strength will grow much slower…”

“In that case, I can only think of ways to increase sources! The Tarot Commerce Association has just started; it’s only these two or three difficult months, and it should get much better afterwards,” Su Xing mused.

“Perhaps, I could increase the production of Nourishing Face Pills and supply five hundred a week?”

But Su Xing quickly dismissed the idea.

He was currently providing Jin Congxue with three hundred Nourishing Face Pills per week, nearly a hundred of which were of top quality, able to maintain youth for three months.

Based on the market price of one million Great Xia Coins per regular Nourishing Face Pill and three million per top-quality pill, these three hundred pills could sell for nearly five hundred million Great Xia Coins.

This meant that, each month, one thousand two hundred Nourishing Face Pills would flood the market, which was nearly saturating it.

Should Su Xing increase the production of Nourishing Face Pills, it might backfire by oversaturating the market and decreasing their market price, which would be a loss rather than a gain.

“Since producing Nourishing Face Pills isn’t an option, perhaps I could craft a new batch of elixirs to broaden my income streams?”

Su Xing pondered over the elixir recipes he currently had mastered: Disguise Pills, Power Pills, Nourishing Face Pills, Fasting Pills, Energy Gathering Powder, Wound Healing Pills, Swiftness Pills, Organ Refining Pills, Essence-Nourishing Pills, Mind-Nourishing Pills…

Upon recounting, Su Xing was even surprised himself; in just two or three months, he had mastered nearly twenty different elixir crafting methods.

“Unfortunately, most of the elixirs I’ve mastered aren’t suitable for public sale, especially the Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills…”

“Other than Nourishing Face Pills, maybe I could also sell some Fasting Pills and Wound Healing Pills?”

Su Xing chose these because there were already similar potions and items on the market, and secondly, these two types of potions were low cost and could be crafted without needing Spiritual Medicine.

The effect of Wound Healing Pills was similar to the healing potions produced in instances, but they were better than the common low-level healing potions, almost equivalent to medium-level healing potions.

Medium-level healing potions were mainly used to treat injuries of Gold, Master, and Grandmaster level professionals, with excellent results.

The market price for a medium-level healing potion was generally over five hundred thousand Great Xia Coins, and they sold very well.

“Then I’ll start by crafting a batch of Wound Healing Pills…”

Su Xing quickly made his decision.
