"Golden talent, seven-aperture exquisite heart?"
Su Xing was stunned for a moment. The first thing he thought of when he saw this talent was the legendary "Bi Gan's" seven-orifice exquisite heart.
"It is said that Bigan has a mind with seven orifices that can see through illusions and everything in the world... Could it be that my golden talent has a similar effect?"
Su Xing touched his chin and looked at Tianfu for explanation.
[Seven-aperture exquisite heart]: Golden talent, you can do many things at once, and learn by analogy. While practicing a certain skill, other skills can also be improved. At the same time, the efficiency of cultivating hundreds of skills is greatly improved...
"Hmm? This talent..."
Su Xing raised his eyebrows. The effect of the Seven-Aperture Heart seemed different from what he imagined. "I remember that I once obtained the talent of multitasking, which doubled the efficiency of alchemy. Could it be that this Seven-Aperture Heart has a similar effect?"
Thinking of this, Su Xing's eyes suddenly lit up.
If this is true, it will definitely be of great help to Su Xing!
The efficiency of alchemy, talisman making, formation setting, weapon refining, puppet making... etc. has been greatly improved!
"You have to try it to know the specific effect!"
Su Xing was looking forward to it and looked at the simulation panel.
[In Lingtian Cave, you realize that you are simulating. ]
[You traded with Lu Yuanwu as agreed, and nothing unexpected happened.]
[After returning to Lingtian Cave Heaven, you began to try out the new talent effects. ]
[You first try to make pills, and you find that your efficiency in making pills has doubled again! ]
[With the blessing of the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, you can refine four furnaces of elixirs at the same time. For low-level elixirs like the Bigu Pill, you can refine tens of thousands of them in a week! ]
[Even if it's the Yangyuan Pill or the Fu Liandan, you can refine four to five thousand pills a week...]
[But if you are refining high-level elixirs, the efficiency will be much lower, because there is only one cauldron that can support the refining of high-level elixirs. ]
[After trying out the benefits of the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart on alchemy, you started making talismans again.]
[You are surprised to find that your talisman-making skills have improved a lot. You can make seventh-level talismans smoothly, and you can even make eighth-level talismans with ease...]
[And the speed of making talismans is almost twice as fast...]
[Next, I started trying to set up formations and make puppets...]
[After a month of continuous attempts, you have a comprehensive understanding of the talent of the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart! ]
[In short, this is a powerful talent that improves all the arts of cultivation! ]
[Not only can it improve skills, but it can also greatly increase efficiency... The improvement effect is about 50% to more than double. ]
[With this new talent, your puppet refining speed will be greatly improved! ]
[In just one week, you can refine three miner puppets! ]
[You are very satisfied with this. In the next ten days, you accumulate the Great Wisdom State bonus and go to the Luotian dungeon...]
“Using immersive simulations…”
【bite……】
After coming out of the Luotian copy, Su Xing let out a long sigh with a smile on his face.
"The new talent is surprisingly useful! It even slightly increases my learning speed of puppetry!"
"It seems that the plan for this simulation needs to be slightly changed!"
Su Xing touched his chin.
His original idea was to overcome the mental barrier and collect enough resources.
But now it seems that this talent adds too much to him, especially the bonus to productivity.
Su Xing should not miss such a practical talent.
"So, don't rush to collect resources this time. First, get through the heart-refining stage and bring out your talent!"
Su Xing sighed softly.
"Sure enough, talent is the primary productive force!"
Look at the simulation panel.
[After leaving Luotian dungeon, you go to meet Luo Shuying. ]
[Under Luo Shuying's guidance, you successfully joined the Advent Church. ]
[After joining the Advent Church, you begin to prepare for a smooth passage through the Heart Refining Stage.]
[Although you have passed the "Five Levels of Spiritual Transformation" and have a strong heart, you are always cautious and choose to refine the Illusionary Heart Pill. ]
[The Mysterious Heart Pill is a ninth-grade pill. Its main effect is to calm the mind, keep the mind clear, and prevent the mind from going astray.]
[Previous monks discovered that the Mysterious Heart Pill is extremely effective in overcoming the "heart-refining barrier" of the tribulation. After taking it, it can increase the chance of passing by more than 10%! ]
[The main ingredients for refining the Huanxin Xuandan are Jade Bone Snow Ginseng, Condensing Spirit Wood... Huanxin Grass and Snow Lotus. ]
[Among them, you already have the Jade Bone Snow Ginseng and the Concentrating Spirit Wood, and you have already planted the seeds of the Snow Lotus, just waiting to be harvested. ]
[Snow lotus needs to be planted in extremely cold places, and its growth cycle can last up to a hundred years. ]
[But fortunately, you have the gift of being a descendant of Shennong, and with the help of wood spirit energy, it may take more than ten years to mature...]
【So, next you travel between the Advent Church and the Far North. 】
[You planted the snow lotus in the far north, set up spiritual formations and prohibitions, and ensured that hundreds of snow lotus plants matured smoothly. ]
[After that, he flew tens of thousands of miles every week on his sword to the far north to ripen the snow lotus.]
[Seven years passed quickly.]
[In the seventh year, you designed to get rid of the leader of the natural faction and replaced him.]
[In the eighth year, you get rid of Long Lao Gou and quietly wait for the arrival of Blood Three.]
[In the eleventh year, Blood Three arrived at Blue Star. You offered the Spiritual Vein Dragon and obtained a pass.]
[When you saw Blood Three, you also thought about transferring the feeling of "I can't be unlucky alone" to him through your gift of giving roses.]
[But when you transferred your talent, the Golden Money Demon King in the Earthly Immortal Realm had a vague sense of it, and as a Golden Immortal, Xue San might have a more acute sense.]
[It is very likely that he will find out that you have done something to him, and then you will be dead for sure.]
[What's more, a Golden Immortal must have studied the principles of cause and effect and destiny. If you discover the change in your luck, you will be in trouble…]
[After Xue San leaves, you continue to take care of the snow lotus.]
[This year, the snow lotus is about to mature. You estimate that within five years at most, you will be able to harvest a hundred snow lotus plants.]
[In the thirteenth year, you went to the Beast Taming Realm dungeon and killed legendary monsters and monster emperors, which can extend the luck of Blue Star for several more years.]
[In the sixteenth year, you successfully harvested the snow lotus.]
[At this time, three of the four main ingredients for refining the Illusionary Heart Pill have gathered.]
[There is no news about the Huanxin Grass. 】
[You know that it is impossible to find this elixir on Blue Star, so you prepare to go to the Three Thousand Worlds.]
[You headed to the killing field and walked towards the direction of the red moon.]
[You showed your pass and entered that strange space...]
Su Xing was moved when he saw this, and silently said, "Use immersive simulation, duration 30 days!"
【bite……】
The simulator prompt sounded, and Su Xing appeared in a different space.
Su Xing summoned the sword energy to protect his body, looked at the turbulent space in front of him, and murmured: "This immersive simulation has allowed me to comprehend the origin of space to perfection in one go!"
As soon as the words fell, Su Xing broke into the turbulent space alone...
Time passes by every second.
When the immersive simulation reached the twenty-eighth day, Su Xing finally made a further step forward, and his mastery of the origin of space reached the perfect level! "Then the next step... is to try to comprehend the prototype of the Great Dao..."
Su Xing looked at the turbulent void in front of him, as if he wanted to capture the shadow of the embryonic form of the avenue of space from this wisp of void.
With the help of the Qi Ling Pill, Su Xing's comprehension was greatly improved.
But unfortunately, it is obviously not possible to comprehend the profound way of space so easily.
The immersive simulation soon ended and I woke up back to reality.
"What a pity... Based on my current situation, I have no idea how to comprehend the Great Dao of Space..."
Su Xing sighed and looked at the wisp of space origin wrapped around his hand.
With an idea in mind, Su Xing took out a few storage rings, wanting to see the improvements that would be brought about after the origin of space was perfected.
After a moment, the attempt was over, and Su Xing had a hint of surprise on his face.
"That's right! The covered space has increased directly to 500 cubic meters!"
Su Xing felt a little excited.
Five hundred cubic meters means that Su Xing can bring almost all of his savings with him.
Various resources, useful magic weapons, etc.
The only pity is that the storage ring cannot hold living things. If you want to take the spirit vein dragon out to the three thousand worlds, you need to be able to completely cover the entire blessed land...
"Entering the Dao through the power of origin... Once I have gained some understanding of the Dao of Space, it should be all right, right?"
"This time, our goal is to find the Illusion Heart Grass, refine the Illusion Heart Pill... and successfully pass the Heart Refining Stage!"
Su Xing thought so and looked back at the simulation panel.
[Passing through the world channel, you arrived at the northern part of the Ten Thousand Mountains in the Small Qingyun Realm. ]
[You can keenly feel that the time you were unconscious this time was much shorter than before, and you were not injured, but your spiritual power was still somewhat disordered.]
[After you packed up a bit, you headed to Baidi City. ]
[You lived in Baidi City for a year, and during that time you sought information about Huanxin Grass.]
[Unfortunately, the Magic Heart Grass is extremely rare, and you didn't find it.]
[In the seventeenth year, you went to the Tianji Pavilion and sold the information about the Blood Moon and the Advent Cult to the girl in the Tianji Pavilion.]
[You purchased information related to the Fantasy Heart Grass. ]
[You learned that this spiritual medicine is extremely rare and can hardly be found in the Xiaoqingyun Realm. There has been no news of Huanxin Grass in the Xiaoqingyun Realm for nearly a hundred years. You have no choice but to give up.]
[You are going to Qingyun Sect to look for news about Huanxin Grass...]
Su Xing nodded slightly when he saw this.
"In the Qingyun Sect, there is definitely Illusion Heart Grass... There are even finished Illusion Heart Mysterious Pills!"
"It's just a pity... If this is the case, the simulation time will be greatly reduced..."
Su Xing shook his head. He originally thought that he could refine it himself, but he miscalculated. He didn't know that the Huanxin Grass was so difficult to find.
In the end, all the previous efforts were wasted...
"Well, let's go to Qingyun Sect again!"
Look at the simulation panel.
[You have no choice but to prepare to go to Qingyun Sect. ]
[You first take the airship to Xiaoqingyun City. ]
[After waiting in the city for about a year, Qingyun Sect officially began recruiting students. ]
[In the eighteenth year, after the enrollment ceremony, you met Danhuo Zhenxian.]
[After knowing your identity, Danhuo Zhenxian treated you with great respect and said that you could follow him to Qingyun Sect in two years.]
[You naturally agreed, and then stayed in Xiaoqingyun City, waiting quietly.]
[In the twentieth year, you followed Danhuo Zhenxian on a flying boat and arrived at Qingyun Realm.]
[The majestic Qingyun Sect, like a fairy palace, stands in the steep mountains. Just looking at it from afar will make your heart excited. ]
[You joined the Qingyun Sect and were treated as a second-generation disciple.]
[At this time, the Fire Cloud Golden Immortal and the Purple Ling Fairy were not in seclusion, and you received a generous meeting gift from them. ]
[Another year has passed.]
[In the twenty-first year, you contacted Fairy Zi Ling, sold a thousand Spirit Gathering Flowers, and obtained a million sect contribution points.]
[You are going to the sect to buy the Mysterious Heart Pill. ]
[But you unexpectedly learn that this pill is extremely rare and is of great benefit to cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. It is often reserved in advance by sect disciples. If you want to exchange for this pill now, you will have to wait until one hundred and fifty years later...]
[As a second-generation disciple, you can naturally use your power to overpower others, but this does not conform to your Dao heart.]
[Fortunately, the Illusion Heart Grass still exists in the sect, so you bought more than a hundred stalks of Illusion Heart Grass and prepared to refine it yourself.]
Su Xing was a little surprised when he saw this. Even a sect like Qingyun Sect would lack the Illusionary Heart Pill? But thinking about it carefully, this is also possible.
"After all, there are many disciples in Qingyun Sect, and the Illusionary Heart Pill is difficult to refine, but it is extremely important for disciples in the Tribulation Crossing Stage… I'm afraid everyone wants to exchange it to increase the possibility of breaking through to the Heart Refining Stage…"
Su Xing thought for a moment and muttered:
"Given the size of Qingyun Sect, there are probably at least 800 cultivators who undergo tribulation every year, if not 1,000... Naturally, we need to wait."
"But it's also good to refine it yourself!"
"If it were me before, it might be difficult for me to refine a ninth-grade elixir, but now that I have the blessing of the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, I might be able to refine a top-quality ninth-grade elixir..."
Su Xing thought so and looked at the simulation panel.
[After obtaining the Huanxin Grass, you have obtained all the herbs needed to refine the Huanxin Xuandan. ]
[After more than twenty years of accumulation, your great wisdom bonus can last for about a year. ]
[You decide to spend four hours every day to carefully refine a furnace of Illusionary Heart Pill...]
[In the first month, you refined 18 furnaces of Illusion Heart Mysterious Pills, but without a doubt, all of them failed.]
[But you are too familiar with the medicinal properties and refining steps of Huanxin Xuandan, and you feel that your alchemy skills are improving rapidly. ]
[In the second month, you continued to refine fifteen furnaces of Huanxin Xuandan, but all of them failed. You summarized your experience.]
[In the third month, you refined ten furnaces of Huanxin Xuandan, and succeeded in one furnace. You felt that you were gradually getting the hang of it.]
[In the fourth month, you refined seven furnaces of Huanxin Xuandan, and succeeded in two furnaces. You finally got started in refining Huanxin Xuandan.]
[After refining pills for four consecutive months, you feel that your alchemy skills have improved a lot, so you plan to digest these alchemy insights thoroughly before refining again. ]
[In this way, a year passed. ]
[In the twenty-second year, you purchased a lot of new Huanxin Grass and Snow Lotus, and continued to prepare for refining.]
[You spent three months refining more than twenty furnaces of Illusionary Heart Pills. You feel that you have made rapid progress and are about to reach the minor success level.]
[In the twenty-third year, you refined forty furnaces of Illusionary Heart Mysterious Pill, and finally achieved a minor level of understanding.]
[At this point, you have been able to refine a normal quality Illusion Heart Mysterious Pill, but you are still not satisfied. If you could obtain a top quality Illusion Heart Mysterious Pill.]
[When you pass the Heart Refining Stage, you can increase your chances by 15%! ]
Su Xing saw this and sighed:
"Ah, a 15% chance is not low!"
"Ordinary cultivators would fight to the death even for this 50% chance..."
Su Xing thought about it for a while.
The Heart Refining Stage is one of the most difficult stages among the six stages of becoming an Immortal.
For ordinary cultivators, the chance of successfully refining their mind is only about 40% to 50%.
If you fail, even if you cultivate yourself for a hundred years, the chance of trying again will be halved.
However, when Su Xing was in the Spirit Transformation Stage, he had passed the "Five Stages of Spirit Transformation" ahead of time, and his mind was as strong as iron, so his success rate was around 80%.
Including a top-grade Huanxin Xuandan, the success rate is about 95%.
"There's a 95% chance... but there's also a risk of failure!"
Su Xing touched his chin and muttered:
"If it doesn't work, then prepare a few more top-grade Illusionary Heart Pills. There should be a 99% chance of success, right?"
Su Xing cautiously thought that the chances were greater with five or six top-grade Huan Xin Xuan Dan.
Of course, ordinary cultivators would not waste it like this, because only the first Illusionary Heart Profound Pill has the best effect, and the second one is only 10% of the first one, and the effect will continue to decrease...
"If it really doesn't work, then I'll just have to waste this simulation opportunity..."
Su Xing felt that there was a 99% chance of success, so he could give it a try!
Thinking so, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[In the twenty-fourth year, you continued to refine the Illusionary Heart Mysterious Pill, and successfully refined eleven pills, none of which were of the highest quality.]
[Your proficiency in the Illusionary Heart Pill has increased slightly...]
[In the twenty-fifth year, thirteen pills were made, none of which were top-grade. Your alchemy skills improved slightly...]
[In this way, another five years passed. ]
[In the 30th year, your success rate in refining the Mystical Heart Pill has reached over 90%, and you are not far from the pill's great success.]
[In the thirty-third year, you refined thirty-seven Illusionary Heart Mysterious Pills and successfully refined eleven of the best Illusionary Heart Mysterious Pills! ]
[Your skill in refining the Mystical Heart Pill has reached the mastery level! ]
[At this point, you are ready to undergo the Heart Refining Tribulation.]
[But to be on the safe side, you should ask Fairy Zi Ling for advice on how to survive the heart-refining tribulation.]
[Fairy Zi Ling tells you that she has a special physique and is not troubled by the inner demons, so she does not have any experience...]
In the real world, Su Xing rolled his eyes when he saw this and said:
"Damn, is there such an outrageous thing?"
"Special physique... directly reaching the fifth level of immortal transformation, one less level? The advantage of this special physique is too great!"
Su Xing shook his head, feeling a little helpless.
"Well, let's give it a try!"
Look at the simulation panel.
[After bidding farewell to Fairy Zi Ling, you announced that you would go into seclusion.]
[You return to your own cave, where you grow flowers and plants, cultivate your character, and cultivate your nature every day...]
[In the thirty-fourth year, one day you divined a fortune and it was auspicious, so you made a prompt decision and prepared for the test of the Heart Refining Pass!]
[You sit cross-legged in the cave, your mind is as clear as a mirror, and your whole spirit is clear and empty.]
[You took out a handful of top-grade Huanxin Xuandan and swallowed it.]
[Your state of mind gradually calms down, and your spiritual awareness and six senses continue to expand at this moment... Your thoughts continue to drift away. ]
[Your consciousness gradually dissipates...]
[When you open your eyes again, you have lost all your memories. ]
【……】
[You looked around curiously, but found that everything had become huge, which frightened you.]
[Just as I was about to speak, I heard crying...]
[You find that it is not the things around you that have become bigger, but you have become smaller... You have become a baby! ]
[In this life, you were born into a poor peasant family during a time of war and misery...]
[Fortunately, my family has three acres of good farmland, so we can live a decent life.]
[When you grow up, you realize that there are six people in your family.]
[Besides your parents, you have three older sisters.]
[You are the youngest in the family, but you are the most beloved. Even though you can hardly see meat in this era, your father will still run more than ten miles for you to take food to the landlord's house to exchange for two taels of lard.]
[In front of you is your old mother who mends and patches clothes, and your three sisters who have been pregnant for several months without any food or water.]
[But your family is happy with this because you symbolize the hope of the family. ]
[When you were six years old, your elder sister turned fourteen and married an honest man from the next village with two old hens as her dowry.]
[You don't know what it means to get married. You only know that if you want to see your elder sister in the future, you will have to walk more than ten miles and you may only see her a few times a year.]
[When you were eight years old, your second sister also reached the age to get married. ]
[My second sister was pretty and married a teacher in his thirties at the head of the village.]
[It is said that this teacher passed the imperial examination more than ten years ago, but never passed the imperial examination and never got married.]
[This brother-in-law who speaks with great precision seems difficult to get along with, and his family is very poor. When my second sister got married, she did not bring back any dowry, and she even took away a few newly made quilts.]
[But your parents are very happy because you can start to read and learn to write...]
[Your teacher is naturally your second brother-in-law.]
[He often spanked you with a thin cane, just for something as trivial as wiping your butt with a paper book.]
[This may seem like a trivial matter to you...]
[You don't like reading, but you love teasing your neighbor's dog.]
[Da Huang is a dog, very thin but fierce, and only wags his tail at you. ]
[Although you don't like reading, you seem to be very smart. You can memorize the contents of the book after reading it several times.]
[When you were twelve years old, your second brother-in-law came to your house, which was rare. He had always looked down on poor children's families.]
[Your second brother-in-law told your parents that you are very talented and the smartest student he has ever seen.]
[If I could go to the city to take the exam for the scholar, I might be able to pass it! ]
[But your family is very poor now, and your mother has been ill since she was pregnant with you, and she is still unable to do any physical work.]
[This year, your third sister got married. She married a man from a county far away, and it seems she became a concubine of a landlord.]
[You have seen that landlord, he is fat and has big ears, and his words are full of contempt.]
[When my third sister got married, there was an old yellow cow and a few strings of copper coins in the family.]
[You are already twelve years old now, and you are very smart... You know that this is the money you got from selling your sister.]
[So you had a big fight with your parents and didn’t want to take the exam. You just wanted your third sister to come back...]
【Later, my second brother-in-law took you for a walk of more than ten miles and then took a car to the county town.】
[At the home of the third brother-in-law of the wealthy man, you saw your third sister whom you hadn’t seen for a long time.]
[But the third sister, who used to be cheerful no matter how hard or tired she was, is now in tears.]
[From my second brother-in-law, you know that my third sister didn't have a good life. Although she was a concubine, she did the work of a maid and was beaten and scolded by the wife of the official.]
[My second brother-in-law tells you that if you pass the imperial examination, they won’t dare to beat or scold my third sister like this! ]
【You believe it! 】
【So you studied hard for the first time, for your family! 】
[You get up at cockcrow every day to go to the school at my second brother-in-law's house, and go home only after the sun sets every day.]
[Because kerosene is expensive, we can only go home and sleep when the sun sets. ]
[You have amazing talent. In just half a year, you have mastered all the hundreds of books in your second brother-in-law's house! ]
[Your knowledge has even surpassed that of my second brother-in-law. Do you think you can take the imperial examination? ]
[But my second brother-in-law said you can’t do it! ]
[He asked you to go to the county town, read more books, and become a disciple of the county magistrate...]
[In order to go to the county town to study under a master, my parents sold the old yellow cow.]
[On the day when the cow was sold, you saw your father crying. This was the first time you had seen that since you were a child.]
[After selling everything you had, you got the opportunity to go to school in the county town.]
[Because you have no place to live, you can only temporarily live in the home of your third sister-in-law, which caused your third sister to be beaten and scolded several times! ]
[You saw all this and vowed to pass the imperial examination and let your family live a good life! ]
[So, two years passed...]
【When you were fifteen, you took the examination for the title of scholar. 】
[A mere exam for the scholar won’t be a problem for you. ]
[You became the first in the scholar examination and the first in the case...]
[In the spring of the following year, you took the imperial examination.]
[You passed the exam, but only ranked second...]
[The first place is the county magistrate's youngest son. You don't understand. He obviously doesn't write as well as you and doesn't read as many books as you, so why did he score better than you? ]
[But it doesn’t matter. After you pass the imperial examination, your family will be treated completely differently! ]
[You went to your third brother-in-law's house on purpose. The third brother-in-law, who used to be arrogant towards you, now starts to show concern for you and flatter you in his words...]
[My third sister, who hadn’t changed into new clothes for three years, now has a decent set of clothes! ]
[You received financial support from the county, and your family moved from the countryside to a house in the county town.]
[Even your second brother-in-law, who used to be stern to you, was relieved and shed tears.]
[He tells you that his long-cherished wish, which he has not fulfilled for half his life, has finally come true in you! ]
[After you passed the imperial examination, your parents stopped doing farm work and started helping you find a date.]
[You are beautiful and seven feet tall. Matchmakers from all over the county have been lining up to see you...]
【But you are not interested in this! 】
[Because you know that if you can pass the imperial examination, you can have your eldest sister and second brother-in-law come back home to see you! ]
[So you study harder and learn harder...]
[In this way, another four years passed. ]
[When you were twenty, you went to Beijing to take the imperial examination...]
[A few months later, you were told that you passed the imperial examination! ]
【And he is the first in the imperial examination, the top scholar! 】
[But the county magistrate's son, who once outshined you, failed to pass the imperial examination for three consecutive years.]
[You are so proud of yourself that the county magistrate, who used to be polite to you, has now become a little humble...]
[A few months later, you learned that you had the opportunity to go to the capital to meet the emperor...]
[The emperor admires your talent and wants to marry the princess to you. ]
[You glanced at the princess, who was 160cm tall anyway, and politely declined.]
[The emperor was furious about this, so as the top scholar, you can only return to the county town to be a county magistrate...]
[All the civil and military officials in the court looked at you with pity. ]
[But you are not sad, you even think it is better this way! ]
[Because you already know that this emperor is incompetent and unjust, people everywhere are hungry, wars are frequent, maybe returning to your hometown is a better choice.]
【At the age of 21, you return home in glory. 】
[The county has produced a number one scholar, this is the best master in hundreds of years! ]
[On that day, countless people came to visit...]
[You are mature beyond your years, just accepting gifts and making friends with your fellow villagers. ]
[You brought your eldest and second sister's families to the county town and bought a house for them.]
【This way, you can see each other every month. 】
[When you were 22, you got married.]
[Your wife is the daughter of a merchant in the city. She is only 28 years old, fair-skinned and beautiful, and her family is very wealthy...]
[When you were 23 years old, the previous county magistrate stepped down and you received an imperial decree to become the new county magistrate.]
[You are very happy about this because it means you don’t have to be separated from your family…]
[In this way, another seven years passed. ]
[When you were thirty years old, wars broke out everywhere. It was the end of the dynasty and many evildoers were born...]
[There were peasant uprisings in the south and foreign invasions in the north. ]
[The corrupt dynasty can no longer continue its rule...]
[Fortunately, you were well prepared. Over the years, you have been recruiting soldiers and horses, and you have secretly accumulated an elite force of 2,000 people.]
[When the news of the old emperor's death spread, people everywhere rebelled...including you! ]
[Your father-in-law is a very shrewd businessman. He thinks you are born extraordinary, so he helps you a lot. ]
[At this time, wars broke out frequently in various places, and the people were living in poverty and had no food to eat. ]
[It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you have a meal, a strong man will risk his life for you! ]
[So, in just one or two years, you used money and food to recruit a militia of 20,000 people.]
【At this time, the foreign invasion has reached Kyoto City. 】
[And you plan to conquer from the south to the north, all the way to the north... the ultimate goal is to serve the king! . ]
【You march forward triumphantly and suppress the peasant rebellion. 】
[You successfully suppressed the rebellion in the surrounding provincial governments in just two or three years.]
[Your troops gradually increase in number, and your rookies become elite soldiers! ]
[In just two or three years, the number of soldiers and horses you have has exceeded 50,000, and you have become a powerful lord! ]
[At this time, there are three princes in the south who have established their own army. Your goal is to defeat them one by one. ]
[But they all have sufficient troops and horses, and they control dozens of cities, and their military strength is several times greater than yours.]
[This is giving you a headache, you can only develop steadily...]
[But fate seems to favor you. ]
[When you were thirty-six years old, two princes fell ill and died one after another, and the power of your subordinates was greatly reduced...]
[You took the opportunity to lead your troops to attack, and in just three years, you broke through the cities one after another! ]
[When you are forty years old, you have hundreds of cities under your command and a hundred thousand soldiers! ]
[You attack the last vassal king...]
[Finally, after a bloody battle, you became the uncrowned king of the South! ]
[At the age of forty-three, you ruled the area south of the Yangtze River, looking at the capital from afar, with eighty thousand elite soldiers under your command! ]
[In the second year, you received news that the northern foreigners massacred the royal family, and none of the thousands of people in the palace survived! ]
[You know in your heart that the opportunity has come! ]
[So, you personally led the army to the north, with 80,000 elite soldiers, and rushed towards Kyoto City! ]
[You have enough troops and only one goal! ]
【Establish a new dynasty! 】
[You led your army to launch a surprise attack on Kyoto, leaving the city gates open along the way without encountering any obstruction.]
[But you can’t bear the chaos caused by bandits everywhere...]
[At this time, you get the news that the foreign tribes have withdrawn from Kyoto and returned to the northern grasslands, leaving only a few thousand soldiers to guard Kyoto. ]
[You know this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ]
[So you immediately decided to have most of the soldiers maintain order in the various cities and reach Kyoto at a normal marching speed.]
[And you will lead 5,000 elite cavalry to launch a surprise attack on Kyoto and recapture Kyoto in one fell swoop! ]
[The cavalry attacked day and night...]
[But even so, it took half a month to arrive in Kyoto. ]
[After all this journey, out of the five thousand elite cavalry, only a little over four thousand remain...]
【And we are exhausted! 】
[But you look at the foreign flags planted outside Kyoto and know that this is the last chance to fight! ]
[So, you immediately ordered to rest on the spot for half a day, and then attack the city! ]
[It is extremely difficult for cavalry to attack a city...]
[But the soldiers under your command will always be victorious in battles. Their elite momentum cannot be stopped by the three to five thousand old and weak soldiers in the city! ]
【So, after a day of siege, the city was captured! 】
[Out of five thousand elite soldiers, only less than three thousand remain...]
[But you broke into the royal city! ]
[We have conquered the ancient capital that had been in the hands of foreign races for more than ten years...]
【At this moment, you feel heroic! 】
[But three days later...the dark shadow that appeared outside Kyoto City dealt you a heavy blow! ]
【It turns out that you fell into the trap! 】
[The foreign tribes have not returned to the grasslands. They are just hiding hundreds of miles north of Kyoto City, waiting for you to enter the city and then catch you in the trap!]
[When you react, it's already too late...]
[Two hundred thousand troops, including one hundred thousand cavalry, are pressing down on the city of Kyoto...]
[But you only have 3,000 soldiers guarding the city! ]
[Three thousand against two hundred thousand... you will definitely lose! ]
[This is the toughest battle in your life...]
[After years of fighting on the battlefield, you have used only 3,000 elite soldiers to defend against an army of 200,000 soldiers attacking a city for ten full days! ]
[But even so, the city was still broken...]
[Your personal soldiers and your son asked you to break out of the city...]
[But you know that under the encirclement of 100,000 cavalry, the chance of survival is almost zero...]
[At this moment, thunder suddenly fell from the originally cloudless sky...]
[Immediately afterwards, strong winds blew and thunder rumbled! ]
[Countless meteorites fell from the sky and hit the military camp outside Kyoto.]
[In just a quarter of an hour... less than one thousandth of the 200,000 soldiers survived! ]
【You win! 】
[This sudden meteor shower saved you! ]
[It also helped you defend the city...]
[The people in the city were immediately terrified by this strange phenomenon from the sky, while the officials in the city said that this was God's will! ]
[And you are the true chosen one of heaven, destined to be blessed by good fortune! ]
[So, on that day, you took advantage of the meteor shower... to become the emperor! ]
[Everyone was shocked by this strange phenomenon from the sky...]
[Only you looked up at the sky beyond the thunderclouds, and seemed to see two figures fighting each other...]
[It seems that there are immortals in this world? 】
[So, for the next twenty years, you searched for immortality, hoping to obtain a trace of immortality...]
[At the age of 68, after years of fighting, you are now bedridden.]
[But in your heart, you have always had a dream of immortality...]
[That day, that scene of immortals fighting each other... that meteor shower, will make you feel regretful for the rest of your life...]
[Lying on the dragon-patterned jade bed, you slowly closed your eyes, ending your eventful life! ]
[Before you die, your whole life flashes before your eyes...]
[You seem to have returned to your infancy... the cradle of a poor family.]
[You seem to remember everything...]
【A tear rolled down the corner of my eye! 】
[When you come back to your senses, you have returned to Lingtian Cave Heaven...]
[You know, you are the monk Su Xing... and you are also the emperor who was born in poverty, had a turbulent life, and sought immortality in his later years...]
[The magnificent life of a mortal, the scenes of the past...are engraved in your memory. ]
[You sensed the huge gap between the immortals and the mortals...]
[The seed of immortality that was planted in your body begins to take root and sprout! ]
【Congratulations, you have successfully passed the Heart Refining Test! 】
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and breathed a sigh of relief.
The cold lines of text in front of him made it difficult for Su Xing to understand.
"This... is the Heart Refining Pass?"
Su Xing frowned slightly.
"It seems... I just lived a mortal life? Even if I am an emperor... I can be a mortal!"
Su Xing was a little confused.
Even in the simulation, his life is said to be rare in the ages and he is blessed with good fortune, but he can be just a mortal!
The gap between being an immortal and a mortal is too big! "Wait... Immortal and mortal? Could it be... this heart-refining stage is to make your mind transcend the mortal world and become an immortal?!"
Su Xing seemed to react.
But whether it is exactly as Su Xing thought, we still need to wait until the simulation is over to verify...
"Tsk tsk, is this how you pass the Heart Refining Test?"
"It seems... not that difficult!"
Su Xing raised his eyebrows, in a good mood, and looked at the simulation panel again.
[After you pass the Heart Refining Pass, when you come out of it, you realize that a full ten years have passed! ]
[In the forty-fifth year, you are out! ]
[You have become a true monk in the Tribulation Crossing Stage! ]
[The Heart Refining Stage is the most dangerous of the five stages of Spiritual Transformation. If you fail, you will become a Loose Immortal...]
[You who have passed the Heart Refining Test now have a transcendent state of mind and perseverance... If you are under the red moon, perhaps you will not be affected anymore! ]
[But you also know that it will probably be less than ten years before Qing Yunzi comes out of seclusion.]
[And once Qing Yunzi finds your whereabouts, you will probably die...]
[So you no longer hesitate and immediately prepare to leave this world...]
[You made a deal with Fairy Zi Ling and left Qingyun Realm on a flying boat.]
[Before leaving, you left a jade slip for Fairy Zilin, which recorded your speculation about Qing Yunzi's killing of the three corpses...]
(Phew~ Here are 10,000 words for today. This is another story in simulation after I reached the fifth level of the Spiritualization Stage… The main theme is, of course, the pursuit of immortality from a mortal to an immortal…) (Finally, I'd like to ask for a monthly pass! I hope you like it! This section is free of charge…) (End of this chapter)
