Chapter 7: Clue of the Spirit Stone, the Path to Immortality is Within Reach!

The Tarot Society member told you that in Jiangnan Province, Jinling City, a Master-level expert possesses a treasured item called the Spirit Stone.

You were overjoyed and rushed to Jinling City that very night.

You contacted the Master-level expert and offered to buy the Spirit Stone for 100 million Daxia coins.

The Master-level expert agreed.

However, the night before the transaction, a mysterious person approached you.

You died, at the age of thirty-three!

You triggered the talent "Restless Death"!

Your eyes stared intently at the mysterious person.

The mysterious person, displeased, stomped on your head, crushing it.

You lost your eyes, and the "Restless Death" talent became ineffective.

This simulation has ended!

You can choose one of the following rewards: Calm and Peaceful (Talent), Half of the Eternal Spring Technique (Cultivation Technique)

Upon seeing this, Su Xing was overjoyed.

"Finally... the last clue to the spirit energy is here! The Spirit Stone... it must be related to spirit energy!"

Su Xing calmed down and did not hesitate to choose the reward for this simulation.

The talent "Calm and Peaceful" was rather mediocre and did not significantly enhance Su Xing; it just made him look more impressive.

However, the Eternal Spring Technique was a genuine cultivation technique that could help him cultivate!

With the clue to the Spirit Stone, he might be able to bring it back next time and truly start cultivating!

So...

"I choose the Eternal Spring Technique!"

[Ding, you have chosen to bring back half of the Eternal Spring Technique from the simulation, consuming 3000 energy points, leaving you with 182 energy points.]

At the same time, an ancient cultivation technique appeared before Su Xing.

Su Xing was overjoyed and quickly examined the Eternal Spring Technique.

[Half of the Eternal Spring Technique]: The main cultivation technique of the Eternal Spring Sect in the Qingyun Realm. This technique has six levels and can be cultivated up to the Void Return stage. However, since it is only half of the technique, the highest level it can be cultivated to is the Core Formation stage. The Eternal Spring Technique absorbs the spirit energy of heaven and earth, nourishing the body, and can achieve the effects of extending life and maintaining youth.

Cultivation mantra: "First level: All things flourish, go to bed early and rise early, walk widely in the courtyard, let the spirit be refreshed... Second level: The interaction between heaven and earth..."

After reading the introduction to the Eternal Spring Technique, Su Xing was delighted.

This Eternal Spring Technique seemed much more reliable than the "Three Years to Teach You from Cultivation to Death" he had previously bought.

The first half of the Eternal Spring Technique was only a few hundred words, and Su Xing memorized it in less than half an hour.

Su Xing looked at the cultivation technique in his hand and sighed slightly,

"This technique does have the effect of extending life and maintaining youth... but unfortunately, the world will end in fifteen years, so extending life is useless!"

After memorizing the Eternal Spring Technique, Su Xing planned for the next simulation in his mind.

He could only simulate once a week, and each simulation consumed a large amount of energy, so the simulation opportunities were extremely precious.

Su Xing needed to accumulate strength as soon as possible, so he had to have clear goals for each simulation.

"The most urgent task is to enter the threshold of cultivation, so the next simulation will likely be to obtain the Spirit Stone..."

Su Xing thought for a moment and decided that unless the talent he drew in the next simulation was extremely valuable, he would definitely choose the Spirit Stone.

"However, I don't know the true value of the Spirit Stone, and how much energy it will cost. Before the next simulation, I must save enough energy!"

Su Xing had over 800,000 Daxia coins in his account, which could be exchanged for less than 4,000 energy points.

Whether 4,000 energy points would be enough to bring out the Spirit Stone was still unknown.

Su Xing sighed, indeed, a single coin could stump a hero.

Bang!

At that moment, the dormitory door was kicked open.

A chubby figure walked in, and it was none other than Yu Yan.

Su Xing rolled his eyes and scolded,

"Fatso Yu, can you be a bit more gentle? You'll kick the door to pieces sooner or later!"

Yu Yan smiled and said,

"Ha, I'll be more careful next time."

After a moment of hesitation, Yu Yan said cautiously,

"By the way, Teacher Liu seems to want to see you... It's about your career..."

Su Xing nodded, not surprised.

After slacking off for three years at the top-ranked university in the country, being considered a waste of space, it was no surprise that Teacher Liu wanted him to drop out.

After all, the appearance of a "waste" in a prestigious school in Daxia would have a negative impact.

Yu Yan obviously guessed as much and patted Su Xing's shoulder, saying,

"Don't worry too much, Old Su. Our university has never expelled a student... Besides, your career isn't something you can decide. You haven't done anything wrong, so go with peace of mind!"

"Whatever happens, you will always be my brother!"

Su Xing naturally believed this, after all, in the simulation, this fatso never broke contact with him even at the moment of death.

After a moment of hesitation, Su Xing said,

"Fatso, I'm a bit short on cash lately, can you lend me some money?"

Yu Yan raised an eyebrow. He knew Su Xing's character; in three years of university, he had never borrowed money, so he must be in trouble now.

So Yu Yan nodded and said,

"How much? Tell me a number?"

Su Xing gritted his teeth and said,

"Five million, do you have it?"

Yu Yan nodded, took out a bank card from his wallet, and handed it to Su Xing, saying,

"This card has five million... the password is my birthday!"

Su Xing took the bank card, feeling moved, but hesitated to speak.

"Fatso..."

Yu Yan waved his hand and said,

"Old Su, don't be sentimental. Five million isn't a big deal to me! After all, you're my brother!"

"Um, actually, I wanted to ask, what's your birthday again...?"

Yu Yan: "..."

Yu Yan gritted his teeth and said,

"You bastard, give me the money back!"

Su Xing dodged to the side and laughed,

"Just kidding! I'm going to see Teacher Liu now!"

With that, Su Xing headed towards the teaching office.

Teacher Liu's real name was Liu Xiaodong, the life teacher and head teacher of Su Xing's department.

Students usually went to him for matters related to their daily lives.

Initially, Su Xing was recruited into the Capital Vocational University by Liu Xiaodong.

Bang, bang!

Su Xing knocked on the office door.

"Come in!"

Su Xing entered the office and saw a middle-aged man leaning back in his chair, sipping tea, with the air of a leader.

"Teacher Liu, what did you call me here for?"

Su Xing asked straightforwardly.

Liu Xiaodong smiled and said,

"Su Xing! How's your cultivation going? Have you leveled up?"

As expected, this was the reason he called me here.

Su Xing had anticipated this and shook his head,

"No, still the same! But I will cultivate harder and strive to break through to the Silver Rank as soon as possible!"

Liu Xiaodong's smile remained unchanged as he took a sip of tea and said,

"Su Xing, actually, I called you here to discuss something... You know, you only have less than a year left before graduation, and our department has requirements for the pass rate and employment rate..."

Su Xing sneered inwardly, already guessing what Liu Xiaodong was going to say, but still asked,

"So, Teacher Liu, what do you mean? I hope you can be straightforward."

Liu Xiaodong, hearing this, stopped pretending and said directly,

"Su Xing, I hope you will voluntarily drop out. It would be good for both you and the school's reputation!"
