Chapter 9: Cultivation Simulation, Qingyun Spirit Fields

Su Xing took a deep breath, a premonition he had felt before.

At this moment, he was already ninety percent sure that the him in the simulation would indeed act according to his real-life thoughts.

Su Xing continued the simulation.

[This year, due to your low cultivation level, you were delayed in graduation.]

[You had a premonition about this, so you focused all your energy on making money.]

[You borrowed a large sum of money from your good friend Yu Yan and opened an equipment store in Kyoto, specifically selling equipment to low-level practitioners.]

[Because you were somewhat famous in school and had a high reputation, many freshmen were willing to buy your equipment.]

[While leading freshmen through dungeons to level up, you also resold low-level equipment. In just three short years, you made a fortune.]

[By the fifth year, your net worth had surpassed ten billion. Your equipment business was no longer limited to Kyoto; you established the Tarot Association and opened stores across the Great Xia Kingdom, with a focus on Jinling City in Jiangnan Province.]

[You instructed your subordinates to gather information about spirit stones, but there was no news.]

[One day, Wang Qingxuan found you.]

[She brought you half of the Changchun Gong. You told her you didn't need this half of the cultivation technique and asked her to help you find the other half of the Changchun Gong.]

[Although Wang Qingxuan was puzzled, she still agreed.]

[After one night, Wang Qingxuan disappeared again. You didn't ask too many questions and continued to focus on making money and developing.]

[Because of your benevolent appearance and high credibility in the business world, you received several large orders, and your net worth quickly doubled.]

[You were expelled from Kyoto Vocational University, but you were not sad, focusing entirely on developing your business.]

[In the seventh year, you had a premonition that your sister would be heading to the Demon Suppression Pass dungeon.]

[Knowing you couldn't stop this from happening, you chose to return home and spent a month carefully accompanying your parents and Su Nian'an.]

[After a month, you attended Su Nian'an's funeral, feeling deep sorrow.]

[After the funeral, you returned to Kyoto and continued running your business.]

[One day, you received a piece of information: a master-level strong person in Jinling City possessed a rare item called a spirit stone.]

[Here it comes!]

Su Xing became excited upon seeing this. The spirit stone was crucial for his cultivation!

[You rushed to Jinling City overnight and met this master-level strong person.]

[This master-level strong person was a Buddhist believer and had a good impression of you, hoping to have a deep conversation with you.]

[You looked at her face; although she was nearly forty, she was well-preserved and looked only in her thirties, with a lot of charm.]

[You stayed in Jinling City for seven days, and she became a close friend with whom you could talk about anything. You learned her name was Jin Congxue.]

[You found out that she had three spirit stones in total, and you decided to offer three billion for them.]

[But she shook her head, saying that as friends, she would sell them to you for thirty million.]

[You obtained the spirit stones from Jin Congxue, returned to your residence excitedly, and practiced the cultivation technique to absorb the spirit stones.]

[You successfully absorbed a trace of spiritual energy from the spirit stone, overjoyed, as it proved you could successfully cultivate.]

[Next, you spent three days absorbing half a spirit stone and found your cultivation level had broken through to the second level of the Qi Condensation stage!]

[You resisted the urge and left the two half spirit stones, not choosing to continue cultivating.]

Su Xing clenched his fists in excitement after seeing the simulation information.

Success! Now he had spirit roots, spirit stones, and a cultivation technique, finally able to cultivate successfully!

Su Xing couldn't wait to bring the spirit stones out of the simulation but chose to continue the simulation patiently.

[After your cultivation advanced, you were pleasantly surprised and found Jin Congxue again, asking her how she obtained these spirit stones.]

[Jin Congxue didn't hide anything from you. She told you that she obtained the spirit stones six years ago from a dungeon called "Qingyun Spirit Fields."]

[She entered the dungeon to help an old man farm for a week and received a bag of spirit rice and three spirit stones.]

Spirit fields, spirit rice, spirit stones...

Su Xing's eyes widened. There was no doubt that the dungeon Jin Congxue entered was definitely related to cultivation.

"There are cultivation-related dungeons... Indeed, everything makes sense now!"

Su Xing finally understood where the cultivation technique and spirit stones came from—they were from those cultivation dungeons!

However, cultivation dungeons were bound to be of a high level, and he couldn't access them yet.

Su Xing continued to read patiently.

[You realized the importance of this dungeon to you and excitedly asked Jin Congxue for its location.]

[But Jin Congxue shook her head slightly, saying that the Qingyun Spirit Fields dungeon had already closed, and she was the only practitioner who had entered it.]

[Jin Congxue said that the NPC old man in the dungeon told her she lacked cultivation talent, otherwise, she would have received a greater opportunity.]

[You were extremely excited and quickly asked Jin Congxue when and where she entered the dungeon!]

[Jin Congxue thought for a moment and said she discovered the dungeon in late November of the New Era 2023, outside the western city of Jinling, and the dungeon only existed for seven days.]

Su Xing was stunned upon seeing this and glanced at the time on his phone.

New Era 2023, October 7th, 14:31.

"Whoa~"

Su Xing took a deep breath. This proved that in the real world, the "Qingyun Spirit Fields" dungeon had not yet opened, and he still had a chance to enter the cultivation dungeon!

"Not in a hurry... There is still over a month before the dungeon opens. The most important thing during this time is to improve my own strength!"

Through Jin Congxue, Su Xing learned that to gain more opportunities in the dungeon, one must have cultivation talent, also known as spirit roots.

What a coincidence!

Su Xing possessed the talent called "Spirit Root Holder"!

Therefore, Su Xing just needed to head to Jinling City in mid-November!

[You continued your business of reselling equipment and established the Tarot Association's second base in Jinling City.]

[While running the store, you did not neglect the investigation of the spirit stones' whereabouts.]

[Unfortunately, you did not obtain more information about the spirit stones. However, through Jin Congxue's connections, you gained more resources, and your equipment store's business improved.]

[After three more years, you became a well-known tycoon in Jinling City. Because of Jin Congxue, even master-level practitioners treated you with respect.]

[This year, Fat Yu died, and you attended his funeral.]

[Another year passed, and you predicted the market fluctuations in advance, stockpiling a large amount of potion items, making a fortune, and your net worth reached fifty billion.]

[One day, Jin Congxue found you, looking somewhat restless.]

[Jin Congxue told you that she had been conscripted, and the pressure on the front lines was increasing. She had to go to the Demon Suppression Pass.]

Su Xing was completely stunned upon seeing this. The Demon Suppression Pass again!

The Demon Suppression Pass seemed to be a curse.

His sister Su Nian'an, his good friend Yu Yan... Now even Jin Congxue had to go to the Demon Suppression Pass?

[You didn't want her to go to the Demon Suppression Pass. She told you that she had to go; it was the duty of every master-level practitioner and above.]

[You then asked her for information about the Demon Suppression Pass.]
