[You want to ask more, but Jin Congxue refuses to continue.]

[The next day, you sent Jin Congxue to the Demon-Suppressing Pass.]

[One month later, you attended Jin Congxue's funeral. You felt neither happy nor sad, and just wanted to improve your strength as much as possible.]

[You chose to sell all your assets and obtained more than 50 billion in cash. ]

[You used the money to buy a lot of items to improve your physique. You want to break through to the second level of the body-refining cultivator: the bone-refining realm.]

[Three years have passed, and your body-refining skills have continued to improve, but you still feel that you are a little short of the Bone-refining Realm. But for some unknown reason, you have never been able to break through.]

【Finally, I came to the day you were familiar with in my memory. 】

[A giant beast that blocked out the sky and sun appeared in the sky above Daxia. ]

[Countless people in the entire Great Xia Kingdom were terrified. Several golden figures flew into the sky and besieged the giant beast! ]

[They failed, and the giant beast swallowed up the entire Great Xia Kingdom in one gulp. ]

[Before you were swallowed, your eyes widened and you raised your middle finger to the giant beast in the sky. ]

【You died at the age of thirty-six! 】

[You activated your talent and died with your eyes wide open! ]

[You were swallowed by the beast, and you found that not all people died immediately. ]

[The stomach of this giant beast is extremely spacious, like a world. ]

[The ground began to tremble continuously, and an inexplicable energy began to corrode all life and matter around it...]

[Your eyes have been digested and become part of the giant beast. Your talent of dying with your eyes open is no longer valid! ]

[Ding, this simulation is over! ]

[You can choose one from the following rewards: I became bald, but I didn't become stronger (talent), half-step to the Bone Refining Realm (cultivation), the second level of the Qi Refining Realm (cultivation), two and a half spirit stones (props)]

Here it comes! I successfully brought out the spirit stone!

Su Xing suppressed his excitement and checked the cost of these rewards.

[I became bald, but not stronger]: White talent, priced at 1,000 energy.

[Half-step Bone Tempering Realm]: Cultivation, sold for 500 energy.

[Qi Refining Realm Level 2]: Cultivation, sold for 100 energy.

[Two and a half spirit stones]: Item, priced at 2500 energy.

Su Xing touched his thick hair and didn't even look at this ridiculous talent.

Instead, it was the cultivation level of Half-Step Bone Tempering Realm that made Su Xing look at him a few more times.

Judging from the description of the simulator, he was really just one step away from breaking through to the Bone Tempering Realm in this simulation, but he just couldn't break through.

Perhaps it’s because of insufficient qualifications, or perhaps it’s because there is no secret method of body refining, or suitable body refining herbs?

It was unknown when he would wake up, but at this moment the spiritual stone he desired most was right in front of him.

"It's surprisingly cheap..."

Su Xing raised his eyebrows. He understood that this spirit stone might not be a particularly precious thing, but it was just very rare in the real world.

"Exchange for two and a half spirit stones!"

[Ding, you choose to bring back the spirit stone from the simulation, consuming 2500 energy points, and 18940 energy points remaining. ]

Three thumb-sized spirit stones appeared in Su Xing's hands.

The spirit stone is crystal clear and as smooth as jade. Just being close to the human body can make one feel refreshed.

Two of the spirit stones were as big as thumbs, and one was only the size of a little finger. They must have been digested during the simulation.

"According to this calculation... one spirit stone should be worth about one thousand energy points..."

Su Xing began to study the spirit stone in his hand.

He first asked the simulator about the price of recycling spirit stones.

Su Xing: ??? What the hell! I brought it out for 1000 energy, but the recycling price is only 100 energy points. Isn't this simulator too shady? "Damn it, I hope there are no second-hand recyclers in the world who make a profit from the price difference!"

Su Xing complained.

Then Su Xing held the half spirit stone in his palm again, sat cross-legged, and began to practice Changchun Gong.

Strands of warm breath gushed out from the spirit stone, passed through the palm of the hand, and spread into the awakened limbs and bones, making people feel refreshed and comfortable.

"Hiss~ Is this the feeling of absorbing spiritual energy?"

Su Xing opened his eyes wide. After the spiritual energy entered his body, he clearly felt subtle changes in his body.

Su Xing practiced for an hour before he felt that the meridians in his body could no longer absorb spiritual energy.

At the same time, the spirit stone in his hand was about one twentieth smaller.

"Sure enough, this one spirit stone is enough for me to practice for half a month, right?"

There was desire in Su Xing's eyes, but he did not choose to continue absorbing.

Because these few spirit stones in his hand have a greater use! In the following week, Su Xing continued to level up and brush equipment as usual, and in just one week he saved up more than 500,000 again.

However, Su Xing did not choose to continue absorbing spirit stones for cultivation during this period.

On this day, the cooldown time of the awakened simulator was refreshed again.

Su Xing took a deep breath and held the spirit stone in his hand. He wanted to verify an idea in his mind.

"Start simulation!"

[The simulation consumed 600 energy points, the remaining energy is 18340 points, and the remaining simulation times are no. ]

[Simulation starts! ]

[It costs 100 energy points to extract white talent, and 1000 energy points to extract green talent. Do you want to extract it? ]

"Extract white talent!"

[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the white talent: Fitness Expert]

[Fitness Expert]: You are more talented in physical training than ordinary people.

Su Xing was stunned for a moment after seeing this talent, then he reacted and murmured:

"Could it be that... this fitness expert has a talent for body training?"

This sudden talent disrupted Su Xing's plan, but Su Xing still planned to give it a simulation try first.

[You are in the dormitory, staring at the two and a half spirit stones in your hands in a daze.]

[You begin to absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit stone. The spiritual energy enters your body, and your Qi training improves slightly.]

[For the next month, you will take the new female students to level up and earn money during the day, and absorb spirit stones in your free time and convert them into cultivation.]

[Because you have an excellent Qi training method and enough spirit stones, your Qi training skills have improved rapidly. ]

[In just one month, your cultivation has reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.]

[On November 10, 2023, you left Kyoto Vocational University and bought a high-speed rail ticket to Jinling City.]

[The next evening, you successfully arrived in Jinling City. ]

[You searched outside the west of Jinling City for a week, hoping to find the copy that Jin Congxue once mentioned.]

[But you got nothing, and did not find the copy called "Qingyun Lingtian". ]

【You never give up, keep searching. 】

[A few days later, you met a woman outside the west city of Jinling. This woman was very beautiful, but seemed very cold.]

[You have a premonition that this woman might be Jin Congxue! ]
