34 – Rapid Cultivation! Rank Four Alchemist!
by spirapira“System, I choose options ① and ②.”
Staring at the reward page, Wang Ping walked out of the room and finally made a decision, saying in his heart.
As Wang Ping spoke, he felt a sudden headache, and immediately, a flood of memories appeared in his mind.
It was as if he had personally experienced the entire process of learning alchemy. It was very mystical, and there was also a sense of disorientation in time and space.
He didn’t know how much time had passed. When Wang Ping woke up, he found that night had already fallen, and Chi Feng was sound asleep on the bed, snoring.
“This feeling is really wonderful…”
Wang Ping exhaled gently, murmuring to himself.
Last time was the same, unaware of the passage of time, immersed in memories, as if personally experiencing that lifetime.
However, compared to the time spent in that lifetime, these few hours of disappearance were nothing.
Obviously, the issue of time passage was also resolved by the System.
“Now, I am already a Rank Four Alchemist. As long as I have enough materials, I will no longer worry about spirit stones. At least, for now…”
Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as flames appeared in his palm, very satisfied.
However, Wang Ping also considered the increasing consumption of spirit stones and their rarity in Great Xia. He knew very well that with the increasing number of simulations, one day, even if all the low-grade spirit stones in Great Xia were combined, they would not be enough for him to perform another simulation.
Not to mention, it was impossible for him to collect all the spirit stones in Great Xia.
“Before the spirit stones I earn can no longer support me for new simulations, I must become strong enough. The Innate Realm’s ninth level is far from sufficient… I must reach the peak of the Spirit Origin Realm, or even transcend that.”
Wang Ping thought to himself.
At this moment, Wang Ping felt a surge of immense power within his body.
At the same time, a large amount of impurities were expelled from around his body, emitting a foul stench.
He took a bath and cleansed himself of all the impurities.
“The cultivation of the ninth level of the Innate Realm is truly powerful. With such cultivation, even if my techniques, martial skills, and combat experience are average, I can still crush cultivators below the seventh level of the Innate Realm purely based on my realm…”
Wang Ping opened his palm, revealing a ball of pure innate true energy, murmuring to himself.
Afterwards, Wang Ping returned to the house, not initiating a new simulation, but instead looking at the snoring Chi Feng, deep in thought.
He remembered that when he first saw Chi Feng, it seemed like there were flames in Chi Feng’s eyes.
He had thought it was an illusion, but now it seemed otherwise.
The people of Chi Village are spirit tribes, all practicing fire-based techniques and martial arts. Coupled with the flames in Chi Feng’s eyes, Wang Ping could deduce that the ancestor of the Chi family in the Spirit Embryo Realm probably also had a fire attribute and condensed a fire spirit body.
“The blood of the Chi Village people is not evident, but Chi Feng might be an exception. He may have a latent awakening of the fire spirit body. With proper guidance, he could possibly awaken it…”
Wang Ping’s eyes shone with insight as he analyzed in his heart.
With twenty years of alchemy experience, he had naturally gone through many ancient texts and had some research on spirit bodies.
It is said that spirit bodies are very mystical, some are born with it.
Born spirit bodies do not need awakening.
For spirit tribes bred by strong individuals in the Spirit Embryo Realm, the probability of a direct bloodline producing a spirit body is greatest, and they do not need awakening.
However, as the bloodline thins out, the probability of descendants having a spirit body gradually decreases. Even if some people have a latent bloodline, possessing a spirit body, it would be a latent spirit body needing special methods to awaken.
The three most common methods are:
In terms of pills, there is the Rank Four Pill, Spirit Inducing Pill, which is suitable for the vast majority of spirit bodies.
For precious medicines, different spirit bodies require different precious medicines, but their grade will not be lower than Rank Four.
In terms of cultivation techniques, special ones are needed, specifically those unique to the Spirit Clan, created by the ancestors of the Spirit Clan for their descendants based on their own bloodline.
“I wonder, if Chi Feng awakens the Fire Spirit Body, can he break through the curse of the bloodline and reach a realm beyond the Innate Realm…”
Wang Ping pondered slightly.
He couldn’t stay in Chi Village forever. After helping the village solve their problems, he would eventually have to leave.
By then, the people of Chi Village would undoubtedly need to protect themselves.
However, the bloodline of the people in Chi Village was cursed, preventing them from breaking through to a realm beyond the Innate Realm.
Without achieving the Spirit Origin Realm, they ultimately could not protect themselves in Great Xia.
Therefore, if Chi Feng could awaken the Fire Spirit Body and break through the bloodline curse, growing to the Spirit Origin Realm would undoubtedly be the best outcome.
However, this would most likely be difficult to achieve.
Perhaps taming a seventh-level demon beast to protect Chi Village or giving them the ability to seek revenge would be the best options.
“Speaking of which, we could also start with cultivation techniques. I’ll probe through the simulation later and see if the Village Chief has any special techniques left by the ancestors. Of course, it’s unlikely. If there were such techniques, the people of Chi Village wouldn’t be cultivating the mid-grade Fire Spirit Art of the Profound level.”
Wang Ping shook his head slightly.
Although the Fire Spirit Art seemed perfectly suited to the Fire Spirit Body, the special techniques created specifically for the Spirit Clan by the ancestor in the Spirit Embryo Realm should at least be of the Earth level or higher.
Mid-grade Profound level is just too weak.
“System, I want to conduct a new simulation.”
Immediately, Wang Ping silently said in his heart.
“Ding, this simulation will cost 128 low-grade spirit stones. Do you want to proceed with the expenditure?”
The system’s voice rang out.
Hearing this, Wang Ping’s face twitched, feeling somewhat pained.
This doubling in cost is really hard to bear.
He still had 283 low-grade spirit stones left. This simulation would require 128, leaving him with only 155 after the expenditure.
And the next simulation would again double in cost, requiring 256 low-grade spirit stones. He didn’t have nearly enough for the next simulation.
However, the Life Simulator was his golden finger; he couldn’t stop simulating. He had no choice but to accept this.
“Proceed with the expenditure,” Wang Ping said, rubbing his temples.
This would probably be the last paid simulation for the time being. He hoped it would refresh some powerful talents.
“Ding, Life Simulator activated, refreshing talents…”
The system’s voice rang out, causing Wang Ping to be slightly excited.
“Ding, talents refreshed successfully. Congratulations to the host for acquiring the white talent ‘Plainly Dressed’; white talent ‘Jinx’; and green talent ‘Beast Master.'”
The system’s voice rang out again, causing Wang Ping’s eyes to light up.
This time, luck was on his side; he refreshed three talents at once, and one of them was even a green talent.
However, the white talent ‘Jinx’ seemed a bit peculiar.
Feeling slightly complicated, Wang Ping looked at the talent descriptions.
White talent ‘Plainly Dressed’: When the host is dressed plainly, the mind becomes serene, which is beneficial for cultivation.
White talent ‘Jinx’: People around you will become unlucky.
Green talent ‘Beast Master’: The host will gain significant talent in breeding and training demon beasts.
