Chapter 134 – Cultivate the Primordial Spirit Within, Refine Pills Without! The Wonders of Thousand-Zhang Divine Sense! (Third Update)

Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly.

The future simulation’s progression matched his expectations—his divine sense had further strengthened, and his alchemy skills had become even more refined.

Everything was developing in a positive direction…

【Year Eleven: You thoroughly studied the Separation Fire Alchemy Art, wanting to try whether you could refine several new types of pills with the existing spirit herbs.】

【After your research, you discovered that you could develop the Illumination Pill, Tortoise Shell Pill, Blood-Cleansing Pill, and other pills.】

【Among them, the Illumination Pill was a mid-grade pill with effects similar to the previously developed Mirror Pill, but with stronger potency and minimal side effects, allowing consecutive consumption.】

【The Tortoise Shell Pill and Blood-Cleansing Pill were lower-grade pills. The Tortoise Shell Pill could temporarily enhance physical defense after consumption, while the Blood-Cleansing Pill could neutralize mundane toxins.】

【Over the next two years, you cultivated daily while simultaneously researching these new pills.】

【Year Thirteen: You successfully reached Minor Mastery-level in refining the Tortoise Shell Pill and Blood-Cleansing Pill.】

【But refining the Illumination Pill was not easy, and you had yet to reach even the Beginner-level.】

【Year Fourteen: Your divine sense continued to grow this year, reaching a range of nine hundred zhang!】

【That same year, your Body Tempering cultivation advanced to Divine Power Realm, Third Layer!】

【Year Sixteen: After several years of study, you had reached the Beginner-level in mastering the Illumination Pill.】

【During cultivation, you discovered that after consuming an Illumination Pill, you could enter a focused state more quickly, devoting yourself entirely to cultivation and significantly increasing your cultivation speed.】

【But unfortunately, your cultivation remained at Nascent Soul stage Great Perfection. Until you could refine a supreme-grade Nascent Soul Tempering Pill, you did not plan to attempt a breakthrough.】

【Year Seventeen: You gave the Nascent Soul Tempering Pill to Heavenly King-stage Class Users to consume, wanting to test whether this pill could enhance their strength.】

【But unfortunately, ordinary people—even Class Users—could not possibly possess a Nascent Soul, so the Nascent Soul Tempering Pill had absolutely no effect on them.】

Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly, murmuring:

“Indeed, compared to pills meant for Qi Refinement cultivators, it’s still the Body Tempering cultivator’s pills that benefit Class Users more…”

Su Xing wasn’t surprised. He continued with the simulation.

【Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, another two years went by. During these two years, you persistently consumed Mind-Condensing Pills to strengthen your divine sense. Your divine sense range grew even wider, reaching nine hundred and seventy zhang!】

【Year Twenty: You encountered a long-premeditated assassination attempt.】

【Over these years, you had faced at least several hundred assassination attempts, but this one came the closest to succeeding.】

【A mid-to-high-ranking military officer of Great Xia invited you to dine at his residence. Unable to refuse his generous hospitality, you accepted.】

【But what awaited you was a trap! It turned out this officer was a spy planted by the Advent Cult. At the banquet, they poisoned you, then arranged for two Legendary-stage powerhouses to ensure your death.】

【After the toxin entered your body, you could not circulate your spiritual energy, making it impossible to take refuge in the Blessed Spirit Field.】

【Fortunately, Luo Shuying had been protecting you all along. She fought fiercely against the two Legendary-stage powerhouses, ultimately holding out until the Great Xia Military arrived with reinforcements.】

【But afterward, Luo Shuying suffered severe injuries from the battle, remaining unconscious for a full month before returning from death’s door, and was left with a permanent ailment.】

Su Xing sighed upon seeing this.

Sure enough, once exposed, what followed was an endless stream of assassination attempts.

This only reinforced Su Xing’s conviction—before possessing sufficient strength, steady and cautious development was essential.

He continued with the simulation.

【Year Twenty-One: Your divine sense grew to nine hundred and ninety zhang, not far from the thousand-zhang divine sense you had once achieved before.】

【Year Twenty-Two: You suddenly detected a familiar aura within Capital City. Following this aura, you discovered an old beggar you had never seen before.】

【After repeated confirmation, this old beggar turned out to be Old Dog Zong!】

【He had been evading the Advent Cult’s pursuit all these years and had now infiltrated Capital City alone—perhaps it had something to do with you.】

【But you still had no interest in him. These days you kept a low profile, rarely leaving the Blessed Spirit Field, and even when you did, Luo Shuying was there to protect you. Old Dog Zong posed no threat to you.】

【Year Twenty-Three: Your divine sense grew once more to nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang. Just one more step, and it would reach Perfection.】

【That same year, the situation for humanity at Demon-Sealing Pass grew increasingly dire.】

【Year Twenty-Four: You successfully reached thousand-zhang divine sense. Knowing that this simulation’s objective had been accomplished, you decided to enjoy the remaining time.】

【Year Twenty-Five: A colossal beast descended, swallowing the entire nation of Great Xia in a single gulp.】

【You died. Talent “Die With Eyes Open” activated…】

【Ding! This simulation has ended!】

After the simulation concluded, Su Xing closed his eyes in contemplation, reflecting on this simulation run.

A moment later, Su Xing opened his eyes and sighed:

“As expected, directly revealing the Longevity Pill was not a wise choice… The subsequent consequences were too severe. A more covert method is necessary…”

“But since direct exposure won’t work, perhaps I could disguise my identity?” Su Xing stroked his chin, deep in thought.

“Well, it’ll still take some time to gather those precious herbs. For now, let’s just pick the simulation rewards!”

At the thought of this simulation’s rewards, Su Xing grew somewhat excited.

【Living Buddha】: Purple talent, priced at 1,000,000 energy points.

【Twenty-Five Years of Alchemy Experience】: Alchemy insights, includes partial Nascent Soul Tempering Pill (Minor Mastery-level), Illumination Pill (Beginner-level), Mirror Pill (Mastery-level), Longevity Pill (Mastery-level), Tortoise Shell Pill (Mastery-level), Blood-Cleansing Pill (Mastery-level). Priced at 6,000,000 energy.

【Divine Power Realm, Third Layer】: Body Tempering cultivation. Priced at 20,000,000 energy!

【Thousand-Zhang Divine Sense (Five Senses Realm)】: Possessing thousand-zhang divine sense, able to perceive every subtle movement within a thousand-zhang radius. Priced at 9,500,000 energy.

【Life-Extension Pills x10】: Priced at 3,000,000 energy.

Su Xing glanced over the simulation reward options and remarked:

“Who would’ve thought the Life-Sustaining Pills would be so cheap? But if auctioned off, the energy earned could multiply dozens of times over…”

“Still, there’s no rush to redeem them now. The tens of millions of energy I have on hand are enough for the time being… Besides, once I bring out the alchemy experience, I can refine the Life-Sustaining Pills myself, saving a reward selection.”

With that thought, Su Xing declared without hesitation:

“I choose the Twenty-Five Years of Alchemy Experience and the thousand-zhang divine sense!”

As his words fell, notification sounds rang in Su Xing’s ears.

【You have successfully brought out Twenty-Five Years of Alchemy Experience. Cost: 6,000,000 energy. Remaining energy: 39,230,000 points.】

【You have successfully brought out Thousand-Zhang Divine Sense (Five Senses Realm). Cost: 9,500,000 energy. Remaining energy: 29,730,000 points.】

After Su Xing made his selections, two streams of mysterious energy surged into his body.

First came a massive influx of alchemy techniques and memories.

In a mere ten-plus seconds, Su Xing felt as though he had gained decades of alchemy experience. His mind now contained the refining techniques for the Nascent Soul Tempering Pill, Illumination Pill, and numerous other pills.

And the benefits of the alchemy insights were far more than just learning new pills. Su Xing’s understanding of the pills he had already mastered deepened considerably, and even his overall comprehension of the Dao of Alchemy grew more profound.

“When I add it all up, I suppose I’m now an alchemy grandmaster with several hundred years of pill-refining experience?”

The corner of Su Xing’s mouth curved upward. He now had mastery over no fewer than twenty types of pills, including several mid-grade varieties!

With several hundred years of accumulated alchemy insights, combined with the boost from the Alchemy Prodigy talent, one could say that in any ordinary cultivation world, Su Xing would already be an alchemy grandmaster capable of founding his own sect.

Next, Su Xing began extending his divine sense, experiencing his newly acquired power—thousand-zhang divine sense!

Boom!

His divine sense spread out like a tidal wave. Within mere seconds, everything within a hundred-zhang radius of the Blessed Spirit Field—every breeze, every rustle, even the expression on each of Brother Chicken’s faces and the wriggling of every Spirit Earthworm—Su Xing perceived with perfect clarity.

But Su Xing didn’t seem satisfied with this. He frowned slightly and said:

“The Blessed Spirit Field’s area is still a bit too small…”

With those words, Su Xing appeared in a secluded corner of the academy.

Then he released his divine sense!

A hundred zhang… five hundred zhang… a thousand zhang!

As if he had gained countless pairs of eyes and ears, with Su Xing at the center, every subtle movement within a thousand-zhang radius was perceived with crystal clarity.

“Hmm, today’s cafeteria lunch is braised pork…”

“Over at the gymnasium, it seems like incoming freshmen are touring the campus?”

“The girls’ dormitory in the north campus… ahem! I am an upright gentleman. I mustn’t do this!”

“Hm? In the grove behind the south field, there seems to be a couple… hiss, that was fast, wasn’t it?”

Su Xing found himself overcome with a playful impulse.

Sitting in his dormitory yet able to see and hear every scene with his own senses—the sensation was truly wondrous.

With the strength of Su Xing’s thousand-zhang divine sense, he could cover more than half of Capital City Academy. In other words, within this academy, nothing could escape Su Xing’s eyes.

“Tsk tsk, this divine sense really is entertaining… It’s just a bit too taxing on the mind…”

Su Xing gently rubbed his temples. After extending his divine sense for only half an hour, he already felt a tinge of fatigue.

“Reaching thousand-zhang divine sense at the Nascent Soul stage… Just how terrifying would the range be at the Spirit Transformation stage?”

“And this divine sense has been labeled ‘Five Senses Realm’ all along—could there be even higher realms? With even more functions?”

Su Xing realized he had underestimated the uses of divine sense!

Fifty zhang of divine sense was indeed of limited use.

But if the radius expanded twenty times over to a thousand zhang—a range of over three kilometers—that was nearly enough to cover an entire district, or a decently sized town!

And if expanded tenfold again, it would cover an entire city!

“Cultivators refine the primordial spirit within and temper pills without… Indeed, the ancients did not deceive me. The applications of divine sense are truly astonishing!”

Su Xing’s current mastery of divine sense was still far from advanced.

In the future, once he mastered divine sense techniques and broke through to higher realms, only then would the true terrifying potential of divine sense be unleashed.

After all, the power of an immortal cultivator was not limited to refining pills. It was those myriad wondrous techniques that truly brought out a cultivator’s greatest strengths!
