[You did not reveal your talent for alchemy, but joined the Advent Church with a new identity. ]
[With your current strength, you are almost enough to crush the three faction leaders, but you did not reveal your true strength. You only showed that you were at the peak of the Martial Emperor and barely became a guardian of the Advent Church.]
[In the following year, you and Luo Shuying worked together to collect most of the medicinal herbs in the Advent Religion's treasure house.]
[You refine pills every day and prepare to save them and give them to the Daxia military in the future.]
[In the second year, you went to the Luotian Conference dungeon again, hoping to enhance your understanding of the way of puppets.]
In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly when he saw this and murmured:
“Using immersive simulations…”
[Ding, you have successfully used the immersion mode... The remaining energy is 3.01663 billion points.]
Soon, an immersive simulation time ends and Su wakes up and returns to the real world.
"Yes, with the guidance of the ghost lady, my understanding of the way of puppets can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds..."
"Although I haven't reached the minor success level yet, it shouldn't be a problem to initially transform and control those puppets..."
Su Xing's mouth corners slightly raised.
With his current attainment in puppetry, which is only at the entry level, it is not realistic to create a puppet that can refine pills.
But fortunately, Su Xing has eight existing puppets, which only need slight modifications and may be useful to Su Xing in a short time.
"But unfortunately, as time goes by, the Luotian Conference instance is only two years away from closing... This means that I can only enter it twice at most in each simulation in the future..."
Su Xing sighed.
He always had a premonition that there must be some shocking secret hidden in the Luotian Conference copy, and Su Xing must explore the secret as much as possible in the limited time ahead.
"But for now, I'd better fish in troubled waters in the Advent Church. If I can become the leader of the faction, maybe I can get a bigger secret and learn the identity of that mysterious person?"
Thinking of this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[After coming out of the Luotian Conference instance, you return to the Advent Church and continue to be your own guardian.]
[You are brave when performing tasks, and you act like you care about your subordinates in your daily life.]
[In just one year, you have nearly 20,000 fans in the Advent Church.]
[There are even Adventists who secretly encourage you to create a new faction, and they are willing to join your faction. ]
[But in order to avoid being suspected by the two faction leaders of the Advent Church and Old Dog Long, you did not choose to do so.]
[Instead, he continued to stay in the Advent Church, playing the role of a loyal cadre. ]
[Privately, you secretly refine elixirs and continue to study the art of talismans.]
[In one year, the number of spiritual carp that died in your hands is enough to reach thousands.]
[But at the same time, you have already mastered several talismans, which are very effective when used. ]
[For example, the second-level talisman that can enhance speed, the Gale Talisman, can be used by master-level professionals to double the speed within the time of an incense stick, and grandmaster-level professionals can also increase the speed by 50%! ]
[For example, the first-level talisman, the Ox Talisman, after use, can increase the strength of a professional by one to nine oxen, which greatly improves the strength of low-level professionals. ]
[In addition, there are the Golden Blade Talisman that activates the Golden Blade, the Vajra Talisman that activates the shield, and so on. 】
[In the third year, you have completely mastered the art of talismans.]
[This is due to your talent bonus of the talisman expert, plus your amazing spiritual talent and your divine consciousness that has reached the subtle realm.]
[The way of talismans has extremely high requirements for mental strength, that is, spiritual consciousness. If a low-level cultivator makes a mistake, even if it is only a millimeter, a talisman will be damaged.]
[But you have reached the subtle realm of spiritual awareness, and you can completely engrave the talisman formula in your mind. All you need is constant practice, a grasp of details, and the use of spiritual power...]
[This year, you are still at the entry level in the art of talismans, but you have been able to carve dozens of first- and second-level talismans, and even mastered several third-level talismans.]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly, saying, "Sure enough, great accumulation will eventually lead to great success!"
"The way of talismans requires the strength of spiritual consciousness and the control of spiritual power..."
"The talismans left by our ancestors are like mathematical formulas... They each have their own characteristics. I have a strong mental power, so I can naturally remember all the talismans and marks completely. This is something that low-level cultivators cannot do."
"Refining a third-level talisman is roughly equivalent to the strength of a master... If it reaches the fourth level, it is equivalent to the grandmaster level, and the fifth-level heavenly king level...Refining a sixth-level talisman can allow ordinary professionals to have the strength to threaten the Martial Emperor in a short period of time!"
Su Xing nodded with satisfaction.
Different from alchemy and refining, the growth of a cultivator's strength is accumulated over time. It is impossible for a gold-level professional to possess the strength of a king in a short period of time.
But the way of talismans is different. Even if one is a gold-level professional, as long as he has a sixth-order offensive talisman, as long as he uses it properly, he even has the ability to kill a king-level professional!
But the disadvantages are also obvious. The talisman is almost disposable. Even a high-level talisman can only be used a few times.
"Once this talisman is released, I'm afraid its price in the market will not be low...it may even be more profitable than elixirs!"
"However, this simulation is just a test. I only need to try the talisman for a short while, and then try to practice the spirit gathering array and the five elements array..."
Su Xing thought so and looked at the simulation panel.
[In the fourth year, you will count all the pills you have accumulated over the years, which will total about 250,000.]
[Afterwards, you disguised yourself and concealed your own secrets, and went to find Lu Yuanwu, and gave all the pills to him, hoping to strengthen the Daxia military and the human race's strength in the Demon Suppression Pass.]
【After doing all this, you returned to the Advent Church. 】
[On the day of Jingzhe in recent years, you have observed the power of thunder every time, hoping to comprehend a little of the origin of power from the Thunder Avenue.]
[After several attempts, you vaguely feel the origin of power...]
[You are somewhat happy about this, but you remain calm and composed. You continue to comprehend the source of your power on the day of Jingzhe every year, and practice the art of talismans on weekdays.]
[In the fifth year, as your understanding of the way of talismans becomes more profound, you are already able to refine fourth-level talismans.]
[You have successfully improved the refining of the second-level talisman, the Soul Gathering Talisman, to a high level of perfection.]
[The Spirit Gathering Talisman is a talisman that can quickly gather spiritual energy and restore the cultivator's own spiritual power. ]
[You found that the principle of the spirit gathering talisman is somewhat similar to that of setting up a micro spirit gathering array. Perhaps the Five Elements Master was inspired by this talisman.]
[At the same time, during the time you were lurking in the Advent Church, you also made friends with the elders and protectors, and you called friends every day, ate meat and drank wine.]
[In the process of communicating with these elders and guardians, you gradually understand that the hierarchy within the Advent Church is more strict than you imagined.]
[From ordinary believers to guardian elders, even they can only accept tasks and gain contribution points, but the guardian elders are relatively free. ]
[But both ordinary believers and Dharma protectors know very little about why they have to do this mission and the reasons behind it. ]
[This also means that even the guardian knows nothing about the most core secrets of the Advent Church.]
【After knowing this, a plan vaguely arises in your mind. 】
[That is, find a way to reach a higher level, that is, to become the leader of the Adventist faction! ]
[Because only by becoming a faction leader can you truly get in touch with the core secrets of the Advent Church! ]
[What bothers you is that the three major faction leader positions are already full, and you suspect that the only leader of the conservative faction who has been missing is the Dragon Guardian.]
[And if you want to become a faction leader, there is only one way... that is to find a way to kill one of the leaders! ]
[You know you can’t be impatient, you must wait for the opportunity quietly, otherwise once you reveal your true colors, all your efforts will be in vain! ]
[In this way, another two years passed in quiet waiting. ]
[In the seventh year, you have made further progress in your research on the way of talismans, and you are now able to refine fifth-level talismans.]
[After activating the fifth-order talisman, a master-level professional can even fight against a king-level professional in a short period of time. ]
[You have successfully refined a fifth-level talisman, but your research on the way of talismans is still at the entry level, but you are not far from a minor success.]
[You have a guess in your mind that successfully refining a sixth-level talisman may be enough to allow your understanding of the way of talismans to enter a minor level of success! ]
[But you don't plan to study talismans further, because your attainments in talismans are already sufficient at this point. You plan to start researching miniature spirit gathering arrays.]
[You provided Luo Shuying with more Mind-Concentrating Pills and other elixirs, hoping to improve Luo Shuying's strength.]
[Luo Shuying lived up to everyone's expectations and practiced hard every day. With your help, he entered the middle stage of Legend in just eight years.]
[This year, your understanding of the source of power has taken a step further.]
[In the ninth year, you began to read through the Five Elements Sect's Five Elements Formation Dao.]
[You discover that the Five Elements Array Dao is different from the basic array Dao you learned before. His understanding of the array Dao is more inclined to the rational use of the Five Elements' spiritual energy.]
[Because you already have a certain foundation in formation, you will make rapid progress when practicing the Five Elements Formation.]
[In this way, another two years passed. ]
[In the eleventh year, you have already mastered the Five Elements Array cultivation, and are able to set up some complex Five Elements Arrays.]
[At this moment, you have gained understanding of the Way of Talismans, the Way of Arrays, and the Way of Spiritual Energy, and have reached the basic requirements for learning the Micro Spirit Gathering Array.]
[So, you plan to officially start engraving the miniature spirit gathering array. ]
[You enter the Spiritual Field Cave Heaven, take out a fat spiritual carp from the pond, and then take out the spiritual ink, spiritual brush, etc. needed to carve a miniature spiritual gathering array.]
[Take this spiritual carp in your hand, use your spiritual power to soothe it, and then carefully experience the flow of spiritual energy in the body of this spiritual carp. ]
[After a few minutes, you know exactly where every bit of spiritual energy in the carp flows... Then, you slowly open your eyes!]
[After that, the pen moved quickly and smoothly, and the writing was completed in one go... The consciousness of the subtle state was perfectly displayed at this moment. ]
[You carefully urged your spiritual power and carved a small formation on the body of the spiritual carp.]
[But when the formation was halfway set, you still made some mistakes, and the spiritual carp moved around randomly, causing the spiritual energy to become unstable... The spiritual carp exploded in your palm.]
[Another failure in setting up the micro-spirit gathering array, but you are not surprised by this. ]
[Compared to before, your engraving of the miniature spirit gathering array has become much more mature. You just need to keep trying, and you will succeed in the end.]
[So next, you carved a miniature spirit gathering array on the spirit carp every day, and another year passed.]
In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly when he saw this and sighed:
"Sure enough, the miniature spirit gathering array, although nominally a formation, is actually the culmination of the art of formation, talismans, and the art of spiritual energy. The three must be combined into one to be able to carve a good enough spirit gathering array!"
Su Xing is looking forward to the future development of the Spirit Gathering Array.
"The same is true for the Way of Puppetry... From this perspective, practicing the three ways at the same time doesn't seem to be a bad idea. It can be used in many directions in the future!"
After a pause, Su Xing thought with a headache again:
"However, the size of the Advent Church is still a little beyond my expectations... If I want to become the leader of the faction, I'm afraid I need to secretly add fuel to the flames!"
Look at the simulation panel.
[In the twelfth year, you finally succeeded in setting up a miniature spirit gathering array on the spirit carp.]
[According to Master Wanmu's classification, this miniature spirit gathering array is only the lowest level one, and belongs to the basic array.]
[You hold the spirit carp that has successfully carved the miniature spirit gathering array in your hands. After careful observation, you find that the speed at which the spirit energy gathers is not very fast. It is roughly equivalent to the speed of cultivation of a cultivator who has just begun to acquire the five elements of mixed spirit roots. Even among cultivators with the five elements of mixed spirit roots, it is not considered strong.]
【Based on your continuous calculations, you gave a vivid metaphor. 】
[You have the Wood and Fire dual-element mutant spiritual roots, plus the Thunder mutant spiritual roots. Your basic cultivation speed is about 150 levels. ]
[The cultivation speed of ordinary spiritual root cultivators is level 100. ]
[True spiritual roots are at level 50! Dual, triple, and quadruple spiritual roots decrease in order...]
[For the lowest five-element mixed spiritual roots, the cultivation speed fluctuates between 0.8 and 1.5 levels. ]
[As long as this miniature spirit gathering array is engraved successfully, it can increase a cultivator's level by about 0.5.]
[You are not very satisfied with this speed, because such a slight improvement has almost no effect on you. ]
[So, you decided to further study the engraving of the miniature spirit gathering array.]
[In the thirteenth year, you further expanded the scale of the spiritual carp in the pond, and the number of spiritual carp in the pond is nearly ten thousand.]
[You try to carve a miniature spirit gathering array every day, and your success rate gradually increases from 10% to about 50%.]
[In the fourteenth year, your Lingtian Cave Pond already has more than six thousand spiritual carps engraved with a miniature spirit gathering array.]
[That day, you felt that the number of spirit carp was sufficient, so you decided to further try to arrange a miniature spirit gathering array.]
[You take out a spiritual carp, place it in the palm of your hand, and carefully observe the flow of spiritual energy within it.]
[After that, you took out the spirit pen and dipped it in spirit ink, and then modified the palm-sized micro spirit gathering array on the back of the carp, wanting to further enhance the power of the micro spirit gathering array.]
[Boom! A few minutes later, as expected, you failed, and the spiritual carp in your hand was blown into a braised carp.]
[You did not give up, but took out another spiritual carp, ready to try again.]
[As a result, several months have passed, and the number of spirit carp that have died at your hands has reached nearly a thousand.]
[One day, you had a sudden inspiration and began to modify the spirit gathering array on the back of the spirit carp smoothly.]
[A quarter of an hour later, you stopped writing, and the spirit gathering array behind the spirit carp had already changed drastically.]
[It is still at the level of a first-order micro-spirit gathering array, but compared to the previous one, this array has been improved a lot! ]
[You test its efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy and are surprised to find that the speed of the micro spiritual gathering array has increased by nearly double.]
[From the original 0.5 level, it was directly upgraded to one level. ]
[This is almost equivalent to the efficiency of an ordinary five-element mixed spiritual root cultivator practicing 24 hours a day without stopping! ]
When Su Xing saw this, he couldn't help but be delighted and murmured, "Finally, it worked!"
"A first-level micro-spirit gathering array is equivalent to the cultivation speed of a cultivator with five elements and mixed spiritual roots... Wouldn't it be great if it could reach a high level?"
What Su Xing cares about the most.
In fact, this micro spirit gathering array is activated 24 hours a day. As long as there is spiritual energy around, the micro spirit gathering array can practice automatically.
This is equivalent to gaining idle experience, which can stack buffs! "Good, after that, I will try to make a more advanced micro-spirit gathering array..."
Thinking so, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[In the next few months, you will transform all the first-order micro-spirit gathering arrays on these spirit carps.]
[A few months later, you obtained 5,000 spirit carps with first-class excellent micro-spirit gathering arrays engraved on their backs.]
[In the fifteenth year, you are ready to further try the engraving of the second-order micro-spirit gathering array.]
[You study day and night, and try every day. After several months, more than a thousand spirit carps have died in your hands.]
[After your continuous attempts, you finally succeeded in carving out the first second-order micro-spirit gathering array.]
[According to your measurement, the second-order micro-spirit gathering array is equivalent to three levels of cultivation.]
[In other words, a second-order micro-spirit gathering array engraved on a cultivator can allow him to passively possess a cultivation speed close to that of a cultivator with four spiritual roots...]
[At the same time, you also discovered that each level of the micro-spirit gathering array is divided into two levels: ordinary and excellent.]
[According to your speculation, if the second-order micro-spirit gathering array is further improved, it can reach the second-order excellent level, and the spiritual energy speed will reach nearly five levels! This is almost the peak of the qualifications of a cultivator with four-element mixed spiritual roots. ]
[One day, just as you were about to continue researching the advancement of the Micro Spirit Gathering Array, you suddenly received an important task.]
[The specific requirements of the mission are to go to the Demon Suppression Pass and assassinate a legendary professional...]
[The people who will be accompanying you on this mission include not only the current leader of the Natural Faction, a legendary warrior, but also four legendary guardians including you and Luo Shuying.]
[After receiving this task, you immediately realized that a great opportunity to get rid of the leader of the natural faction has come! ]
