While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move

Su Xing then asked,

"By the way, you seemed to be trying to absorb the power of the Foreign Race before... to strengthen yourself?"

"This method has many future repercussions; do not attempt it lightly!"

"Show me now, let me see the extent of the mutation in your body..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Shuying's face revealed a trace of hesitation, but she still nodded and activated her power.

She took off her gloves, revealing a pair of smooth, delicate jade hands.

Within just a few breaths, these hands underwent a huge transformation.

The color changed to black and became coarser, resembling claws.

Luo Shuying said somewhat dejectedly,

"Senior... this is the power I obtained from a Shadow Tribe corpse I found by chance... "

"After activating this power, my strength, speed, and even defense significantly increased... but at the same time, I lost the ability to control objects..."

"Additionally, this Shadow Tribe power occasionally causes me to lose myself... If it weren't for my Spirit Race's innate strong spiritual power, I might have completely turned into a monster..."

Su Xing nodded slightly upon hearing this. In previous simulations, he had only seen the scenes of Luo Shuying activating this power.

Even her entire body would transform, turning her from a beauty into a horrifying alien monster.

She would then possess power nearly on par with a legend...

As for the Spirit Race, their original power lies in their spiritual power... which is almost akin to telekinesis!

Su Xing thought it over and said,

"From now on, you should focus on cultivating your Spirit Race power... reaching the peak in spiritual power may not be weaker than other power systems!"

"Although the Shadow Tribe's power is strong, the side effects are too great, and it is ultimately not your own power... you should stop using it."

"Additionally, I will try to find a way to remove the side effects from your body..."

Upon hearing Su Xing's words, Luo Shuying obediently nodded.

Afterward, Su Xing and Luo Shuying discussed some other matters before parting ways.

Before leaving, Su Xing shielded the Heavenly Secrets of the area and cleaned up all traces.

Then he flew on his sword in large circles before returning to Kyoto City.

Back in Kyoto City, after entering the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing took out the storage ring Luo Shuying had given him before and began examining its contents.

Two thousand Essence-Nourishing Herbs, two thousand Yellow Immortal Essences... and dozens of Dragon Spirit Flowers and Yuanwu Herbs... along with various other herbs.

Su Xing felt a burst of emotion as he looked at the materials in the storage ring.

He merely mentioned it in passing, but Luo Shuying brought all these for him.

"Essence-Nourishing Herb and Yellow Immortal Essence... these are herbs that can help a Grandmaster Level profession user break through to the Heavenly King Level!"

"Even though these things are not considered precious in the Descending Sect, Luo Shuying must have paid a considerable price to get them..."

Su Xing thought.

He planted some of these herbs in the medicinal field. Once they grow, Su Xing would have an inexhaustible supply of spiritual medicine.

He kept the rest for future alchemy.

Although now is not the time to bring Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills into the world, they will be needed eventually.

On December 9th, as scheduled, Su Xing went to meet Jin Congxue.

Jin Congxue was wearing a light blue wool long coat with flared jeans, looking very youthful and vibrant.

The two sat facing each other and quickly got to business.

"Boss, I have successfully resolved the matter you asked me to handle last time!"

"Five thousand elixirs can exchange for the ten-year contract of a second-tier alien metal mine! All the alien metal mined during this period belongs to us!"

"And the Great Xia Military said that the more of these elixirs, the better. If we can provide fifty thousand elixirs, even ten second-tier alien metal mines would be no problem!"

Su Xing nodded slightly upon hearing this.

A ten-year contract was practically the same as permanent for Su Xing.

By then, Su Xing would likely already be an ultimate powerhouse in the Three Thousand Worlds.

With this thought, Su Xing handed the stored elixirs over to Jin Congxue and said,

"This batch of elixirs, along with the ones I gave you earlier... should total around fifty thousand, just enough to buy a second-tier alien metal mine..."

"Afterward, we will focus all our efforts on acquiring alien metal mines. Around every two months, we should be able to acquire another second-tier alien metal mine!"

Su Xing said.

For him, the main ingredient for the Fasting Pill is Spirit Rice, so there will never be a shortage of materials.

But what he lacked was the time needed to produce the elixirs.

No matter how fast he was, he could only make around a thousand elixirs a day.

"It seems I need to find a way to produce more elixirs... only by increasing production speed can I gain more power!"

Thinking about this, Su Xing's heart stirred, and he murmured,

"In the ruins of the Wan Mu Sect, I encountered Living Dead Puppets that could cultivate Spirit Fields... so is it possible that there are also Living Dead Puppets capable of making elixirs?"

His eyes lit up at this thought.

If he could indeed create puppets that could produce elixirs, the rate at which he acquired them would skyrocket!

"In the damned Zong's storage ring, there are eight puppets... maybe I can put them to use..."

"However, I don't know much about puppet crafting; perhaps I should further explore the Luo Tian Meeting Instance!"

Su Xing increasingly understood the importance of knowledge in the Cultivation World.

The Hundred Arts of Cultivation, including alchemy, formation, talisman crafting, and artifact refining, also encompassed puppet crafting.

"For me, if I can create puppets that produce elixirs, my energy-gathering efficiency will undergo a qualitative transformation!"
