In the world of Sword Pavilion, the pinnacle of martial arts is to accumulate more internal energy, master more divine skills and secret manuals, and possess more powerful divine weapons.
This is regarded as the golden rule by martial artists all over the world, but the path that everyone agrees on is not necessarily the absolute right one.
No one knows that this was a helpless act by people like Senior Li, a lament of having nowhere else to go.
They have already reached the pinnacle of the world, yet they cannot access higher levels of power. They can only hope for the emergence of an unparalleled genius to pave the way forward. Until then, they can only follow the old rules of martial arts and pursue quantity over quality.
But Su Lin is different; he has a clear path forward.
The mechanism contains a vast number of feasible paths, so many that one could not possibly explore them all in a lifetime.
Since that's the case, we should make a clean break and move on to a stronger path as soon as possible.
Su Lin understood. He looked down at the girl whose eyes were shining and said softly, "Alright, let's try cultivating immortality now."
"Yay!"
Xiao Linlin raised her hand happily; she had been looking forward to this day for far too long.
Nothing is more amazing and fascinating than creating a new immortal with your own hands.
Let me take a look...
Xiao Linlin couldn't wait to quickly search through the shop interface and trading hall that she had opened earlier. To cultivate immortality, one must have the likes of magic, wealth, companions, and land.
For Su Lin, the most crucial thing is the law.
In a trading market dominated by players, there was basically no chance; Xiao Linlin only glanced at it as usual.
The survivors are progressing too slowly at this stage, far behind Sulin.
If we consider the entire survivor community as a martial arts world, then Su Lin is like Senior Li, who is at the forefront. Everyone else is behind him and even hopes that he can point out the clear and correct path for those who come after to refer to and learn from it.
If the player trading market is unreliable, then the only option left is the interface within the escape shop.
Xiao Linlin knew that the escape shop sold related system items, but the team was very poor at the time, so she didn't look at them carefully, and because she had too little experience, she didn't understand them very well.
Having experienced numerous matches and fought alongside Su Lin to break through the impasse, Xiao Linlin's vision far surpasses what it once was, and she now possesses a mature and discerning perspective.
After a quick glance, she suddenly frowned in confusion, realizing something was amiss.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong, Linlin?"
"Brother, look, something's not quite right about what's being sold here."
Xiao Linlin pointed to the interface of the escape shop and explained to Su Lin, "I've done the filtering and categorization, and I'm only showing top-tier items related to the cultivation system."
"The shop offers a lot of options, including magic weapons, cultivation techniques, pills, physique enhancement, talismans, formations, and so on... These seem numerous and comprehensive, but upon closer inspection, their potential seems to be limited."
Xiao Linlin frowned: "Take cultivation techniques as an example. The highest cultivation technique sold in the store is the Golden Core stage. There are no techniques higher than the Golden Core stage."
"According to the information I obtained from the consultation mechanism, there are higher realms above the Golden Core stage. In fact, these realms are not considered true immortality, but are merely within the scope of cultivation."
Xiao Linlin frowned, seemingly a little uneasy.
Su Lin glanced at the store's contents and smiled reassuringly, "It's probably because our region level isn't high enough. Perhaps we can unlock higher-level product purchase privileges by going to a higher-level region."
"If that's the case, then it's not a big problem. I'm just afraid..."
Xiao Linlin hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "I'm afraid that even higher-level regions won't be available anymore. If the Golden Core stage is the only maximum limit that the mechanism can provide, then the result will be terrible."
If the mechanism can only go this far on this path, is there any point in taking a path that ends halfway?
Or is it necessary to take the risks and continue down this path?
This was Xiao Linlin's only worry: should they gamble on the unlocked content in the advanced region?
If you take the wrong path, it will be difficult to turn back. You will need to invest more new resources, and all your efforts at this moment will be wasted. It will also greatly affect the pace and difficulty of Su Lin's self-study.
The girl's weakness lies here: she is intelligent, but she lacks the courage to make decisions on important matters concerning Su Lin himself.
The smarter you are, the more bad outcomes you can imagine, and the more afraid you are of making decisions.
At this moment, Xiao Linlin fell into deep thought, pondering, but hesitated and did not speak again.
Su Lin, however, didn't seem to care much. He carefully examined the product in front of him and suddenly pointed, "This cultivation technique is quite good. I'm very satisfied with it. Why don't we buy it?"
"Huh? Brother and I are thinking the same thing, I also think it suits you... No! Now is not the time to think about that!"
Xiao Linlin grew anxious and pulled Su Lin, saying, "Brother, let's... look at other paths. We don't necessarily have to cultivate immortality."
"No, this is fine."
Su Lin ruffled Xiao Linlin's hair, smiling easily: "Isn't this something we planned a long time ago? You're not the type to go back on your word."
“I know what you’re worried about. If the system that the store provides has a limit, then no matter which path we take, we’re wrong.”
Su Lin smiled and said, "There's an upper limit to cultivation, but don't other systems have one too? So, let's proceed according to plan."
"But..."
Xiao Linlin murmured, "If there really is a limit, then every path is wrong. The right path should actually be the latter, which is to take the fast growth path provided by the system, rather than self-learning..."
