Chapter 35 – Third-Order Sequence Treatment, Learning About Cultivation-Type Dungeons!

Su Xing thought it over. Based on Lu Yuanwu’s previous behavior, the man was clearly someone on the more righteous side of things.

Moreover, Lu Yuanwu was Jin Congxue’s maternal grandfather, which meant he and Su Xing were technically related by association.

An idea formed in Su Xing’s mind, and he continued the simulation.

【You took out several Organ Tempering Pills and handed them to Lu Yuanwu, telling him that these were pills you personally developed, capable of increasing the attribute points of Class Users at the Master rank and above.】

【Lu Yuanwu accepted the pills with some skepticism. He said that there were indeed some items within dungeons that could increase attribute points, but those items were extremely precious and exceptionally rare. If these pills were truly as miraculous as you claimed, you would be making an enormous contribution. To be safe, Lu Yuanwu took the pills back to the Great Xia Military.】

【You didn’t mind, because based on the results you had already obtained, as long as the Organ Tempering Pills were taken regularly over six months, they could increase a Master-stage Class User’s physical attributes by thirty to fifty percent.】

【Another month passed. You were resting in your dormitory one day when you suddenly heard the sound of helicopter after helicopter above the school.】

【Pairs of fully armed special forces soldiers stepped off the aircraft. Every single one of them was a Grandmaster-stage Class User or above.】

【They walked toward your dormitory, and Lu Yuanwu was unmistakably among them.】

【Lu Yuanwu looked somewhat excited. He first ordered the soldiers to surround the entire dormitory, on guard against anyone approaching, then invited you aboard a helicopter.】

【You had already roughly guessed the purpose of Lu Yuanwu’s visit, and sure enough, he stated bluntly that your pills held great significance for the human race and asked how many pills you could provide.】

【In truth, you had already accumulated over a thousand finished Organ Tempering Pills over the years, but you had no intention of handing them all over at once. Besides, your pill-refining technique had improved significantly—on average, spending six hours a day was enough to produce one furnace batch of Organ Tempering Pills, roughly ten pills per batch.】

【So you gave a conservative number, telling Lu Yuanwu that you could provide him with fifty Organ Tempering Pills per week.】

【Lu Yuanwu was overjoyed upon hearing this. Fifty Organ Tempering Pills per week meant two hundred Organ Tempering Pills per month!】

【According to internal military experts’ predictions, an average of just five Organ Tempering Pills could enhance a Master-stage Class User’s strength by fifty percent, meaning they would have a high probability of clearing a Grandmaster-stage dungeon for the first time and advancing to become a Grandmaster-stage Class User!】

【And with Su Xing providing two hundred pills per month, that meant every five months could produce two hundred Grandmaster-stage powerhouses! For the entire Great Xia Military—indeed, for the entire human race—this was an enormous boost in combat power!】

【Lu Yuanwu solemnly told you that he was willing to grant you Third-Order Sequence treatment in Great Xia, as long as you could continue supplying them with Organ Tempering Pills.】

【You asked Lu Yuanwu what Third-Order Sequence treatment meant. Lu Yuanwu told you that only a few hundred people in all of Great Xia enjoyed Third-Order Sequence treatment, and even he himself only held Second-Order Sequence treatment.】

【You asked Lu Yuanwu what benefits Third-Order Sequence treatment carried. Lu Yuanwu said that as long as you were willing to join, they would create a specially tailored cultivation plan for you. The nation would spare no cost in nurturing you, and your safety would be absolutely guaranteed.】

Su Xing raised an eyebrow at this. This so-called Third-Order Sequence treatment sounded quite appealing.

“But… this is only something I can try out in the simulator. In the real world, it’s better not to expose myself.”

Su Xing was curious about exactly what benefits this treatment could bring, so he felt inclined to agree.

【You agreed to Lu Yuanwu’s terms. Lu Yuanwu was ecstatic—you were a young genius after all. He asked whether you would like to move into the military district, where your safety would be absolutely guaranteed.】

【You disliked the feeling of being restricted, so you declined, choosing to continue living at Jiangnan Vocational Academy. Lu Yuanwu agreed to your request. He assigned two Heavenly King-stage powerhouses to protect you around the clock from the shadows and told you that you could bring any requests to him.】

【You thought it over and wrote up a list. On the list were various medicinal herbs you commonly used for pill refining. These herbs were merely mundane materials, but you required much older specimens—hundred-year ginseng, hundred-year polygonum, twenty-year-old polygonatum, and so on.】

【These herbs were far more precious than the ordinary ones available on the market. Planting them in your spirit field would allow them to absorb spiritual energy much faster, cultivating them into spirit herbs.】

【Lu Yuanwu took the list and ordered his personal guards to go fetch everything directly from the military storehouse. In just half a day, every herb you had listed was collected and delivered.】

【You then asked Lu Yuanwu whether he knew of any cultivation-type dungeons. Lu Yuanwu nodded and said he had heard of such dungeons before. Overjoyed, you eagerly inquired about the dungeon information. Lu Yuanwu quickly gathered the cultivation-type dungeon data and handed it over to you.】

Su Xing paused for a moment when he saw this, then his face lit up with excitement.

Sure enough, just as he had suspected, the Blessed Spirit Field couldn’t be the only cultivation-type dungeon. Qingyunzi’s mention of the Azure Cloud Sect and the Azure Cloud Realm was the best proof of that.

Su Xing took a deep breath, then silently chanted in his mind:

“Activate the immersive simulation function!”

“Ding. Using immersive simulation costs 100,000 energy points per hour. Do you wish to continue?”

Su Xing smacked his lips when he saw this. One hundred thousand energy points per hour—that price was absurdly expensive.

But immersive simulation was probably truly worth it.

According to the updated feature description in the simulator’s first volume, immersive simulation allowed him to fully perceive all scenes within the simulator without any risk to his life.

Even if he only used immersive simulation for one hour, he could memorize all the dungeon information completely within that time.

A single cultivation-type dungeon was worth far more to Su Xing than a mere hundred thousand energy points.

“Confirm activation!”

“Ding. You have spent 100,000 energy points to activate immersive simulation for one hour. Current remaining energy: 407,000 points…”

As the notification chimed in Su Xing’s mind, he felt his vision begin to spin and flip.

The next second, Su Xing was still in the dormitory. He carefully examined himself in the mirror and found that his appearance was completely different from before. There were no roommates in the dormitory either—he seemed to have an entire room to himself.

At that moment, a document stamped with the word “TOP SECRET” appeared in Su Xing’s hands.

“So this is immersive simulation? Indeed… it’s exactly like experiencing it in person!”

Su Xing’s heart raced with excitement as he eagerly began reviewing the document in his hands.

But the moment he opened the first page, a line of red warning text greeted him.

“WARNING! WARNING! Cultivation-type dungeons are extremely dangerous! Class Users below Grandmaster-stage are strongly advised against exploring them. NPCs suspected to be at ‘Legendary-stage’ or even ‘Saint-stage’ may appear within these dungeons. It is recommended that exploration of such dungeons be conducted by a party of at least five Heavenly King-stage Class Users, led by one Martial Emperor-stage powerhouse!”

A thunderbolt right out of the gate!

The moment Su Xing read this, he understood that cultivation-type dungeons might not be as simple as he had imagined!
