While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move
Chapter 145 - 126 The Life of Sect Leader Runner, Spirit Rice Experiment Great Achievement!

"To slaughter an entire city just for refining treasures, this damned Zong really was vicious..."

Su Xing cursed silently in his heart, feeling that killing the damned Zong on the spot was still too merciful.

He should have tortured him with the Li Fire Technique for forty-nine days before destroying his Primordial Spirit.

Su Xing then took out the damned Zong's diary and started reading it.

However, the damned Zong had too many diaries, most recording trivial matters. Su Xing's immersive simulation time was limited, so he could only skim through, hoping to find some useful information.

"Year 2758 in the Immortal Martial Calendar, slaughtered a sect, stumbled upon the Infant Formation Secret Technique, went into seclusion."

"Year 2769 in the Immortal Martial Calendar, finally reached the Nascent Soul Stage!"

"Year 2778 in the Immortal Martial Calendar, being hunted, escaped with my life..."

"Year 2803 in the Immortal Martial Calendar, being hunted, escaped with my life..."

"Year 2930 in the Immortal Martial Calendar, achieved Nascent Soul Great Perfection, sought the Infant Tempering Pill to form a superior Nascent Soul!"

"Year 2933 in the Immortal Martial Calendar, found an alchemy master capable of refining the Infant Tempering Pill, killed him!"

"Year 2935 in the Immortal Martial Calendar, escaped with my life..."

"Year 2940 in the Immortal Martial Calendar, broke through to Divinity Transformation!"

"Year 2963 in the Immortal Martial Calendar, returned to the sect, massacred them all!"

"Year 3338 in the Immortal Martial Calendar, reached Divinity Transformation Great Perfection!"

"Year 3339 in the Immortal Martial Calendar, nature's spiritual energy is increasingly scarce, cultivators have no hope of attaining immortality, took the Yellow Spring Pill, fell into slumber to extend life, seeking another opportunity..."

"Year 5077 in the Immortal Martial Calendar, accidentally awakened by a group of low-rank Body Refinement cultivators, enraged, killed them all!"

"Year 5088 in the Immortal Martial Calendar, no spiritual energy left between heaven and earth, proving the Dao is hopeless, barely surviving..."

"Year 5168 in the Immortal Martial Calendar, encountered an old dragon, joined the Descending Sect to seek an opportunity for immortality..."

Su Xing let out a long breath and muttered:

"This damned Zong, this guy is actually a monster who has lived for over two thousand years?"

"Although he extended his life by falling into slumber after taking the Yellow Spring Pill... Living for over two thousand years is indeed astonishing!"

Looking at the life of the damned Zong, he couldn't be considered a genius. Reaching the Nascent Soul Stage at over three hundred years old, and Divinity Transformation at over five hundred years old, he must have taken a lot of life-extending spiritual medicine to live so long.

"The damned Zong was wicked throughout his life yet extremely cautious. He started fleeing from the Foundation Establishment Stage, survived till the Divinity Transformation Stage, then returned to his sect and massacred everyone... Truly a villain who sought revenge for five hundred years..."

Su Xing finally understood why the damned Zong was so cautious.

"But there's no mention of the Changchun Technique in the damned Zong's diary... Could it be that the sect he initially joined was the Changchun Sect?"

"Or did he get this cultivation technique when he annihilated someone else's sect?"

Su Xing was curious. The Changchun Technique was his current cultivation method, but it could only be practiced up to the Return to Void Realm.

And after this incident, Su Xing would soon enter the Divinity Transformation Stage, nearing the peak of the Changchun Technique.

Hence, Su Xing needed to find a higher-level cultivation method as quickly as possible...

Suddenly thinking of something, Su Xing looked at the dates in the diary and muttered:

"Immortal Martial Calendar... If I remember correctly, the Great Xia Country should have a copy coordinate called the Immortal Martial Era (Age of Ended Magic)? Could it be that this damned Zong is from that alternate world?"

Su Xing pondered to himself and thought he might explore that Age of Ended Magic copy later for useful information.

Su Xing skimmed through the damned Zong's diary again.

Soon after, the immersive simulation time ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world.

Back in reality, Su Xing turned his attention to the simulation panel.

[You examined the treasures and diaries left by the damned Zong, hoping to obtain some useful information.]

[Through this information, you indeed gained a deeper understanding of the secrets of the cultivation world. Unfortunately, most of the damned Zong's magical treasures were already destroyed.]

[You and Luo Shuying hid in the mountains for several days. During these days, you two were alone together in a dark cave, and your feelings for each other grew.]

[A few days later, Lu Yuanwu brought several Martial Emperors and Legendary Level experts to rescue you, and you safely arrived at the Great Xia Capital.]

[Back in the capital, you handed over all the elixirs accumulated over the years to the Great Xia Military, strengthening their ranks with tens of thousands of new Grandmaster Level experts.]

[The Great Xia Military immediately took this seriously, celebrating you as a hero of the human race, and you successfully ascended to the upper echelons of the Great Xia Country.]

[Despite the fame and fortune, you were not interested. You used your influence to lease ten thousand acres of mountains in the suburbs of Kyoto, starting development of the fields with your subordinates.]

[In the seventh year, you supervised the land development while refining Divine Strength Pills, Dragon Spirit Pills, and Origin Martial Pills among mid-grade elixirs.]

[You kept a hundred of the finest Divine Strength Pills for personal use and gifted the remaining elixirs to the Great Xia Military, adding hundreds of Heavenly Kings and dozens of Martial Emperor Level experts to their ranks!]

[Thus, your status within the Great Xia Country and among the entire human race rose higher, but you focused on attempting to cultivate Spirit Grains.]

[You went to the ten thousand acres of land and began setting up small-scale Spirit Gathering Arrays.]

[You improved the setup of the Spirit Gathering Array, using a Spirit Stone and a Gathering Spirit Flower as the nucleus. The Spirit Stone emitted spirit energy, and the Gathering Spirit Flower absorbed it, releasing even more spirit energy.]

[In this repeating cycle, a Spirit Stone and a Gathering Spirit Flower acted like a perpetual motion machine for spirit energy, endlessly releasing it outwards.]

[But you quickly discovered that spiritual energy would constantly dissipate and be consumed. Within the Spirit Gathering Array, if there were too many living beings, the supply of spirit energy could not keep up with the consumption, eventually depleting the energy.]

[You had to find a balance, where the consumption of spirit energy was slightly less than the supply. After some measurements, you found the maximum coverage of a small Spirit Gathering Array was three acres.]

[Thus, you set up three Spirit Gathering Arrays in the fields outside Kyoto, planted Spirit Grains across nine acres.]

[For the next year, you balanced cultivating and experimenting with Spirit Grain planting.]

[In addition, you planted Phoenix Tail Grass and Jade Bone Snow Ginseng in the Blessed Land Field every day.]

[The Phoenix Tail Grass grew very well, nearly sprouting its first phoenix tail within seven years. You were delighted, anticipating it would fully mature in this simulation.]

[However, the cultivation of Jade Bone Snow Ginseng worried you. It needed extremely cold conditions and spirit energy, and the Blessed Land Field, with its evergreen seasons, couldn't satisfy its growth requirements.]

[With no other choice, you and Luo Shuying traveled to the Arctic Domain, one of the Twelve Domains, where temperatures stayed below minus fifty degrees all year round, making it uninhabitable for ordinary life.]

[As a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, you were immune to extreme cold and heat. You found a concealed spot in the Arctic Domain to plant the Jade Bone Snow Ginseng, creating a small Spirit Gathering Array to supply it with spiritual energy.]

[After ensuring the Jade Bone Snow Ginseng would survive, you returned to the Great Xia Country.]

[In the eighth year, your experiment with the Spirit Field in the suburbs of Kyoto completed. Comparing the Spirit Grains from the three Spirit Gathering Arrays, you found that one array's spirit energy was exhausted, while the other two remained full of energy.]

[You harvested the Spirit Grains from the other two plots, discovering each acre yielded around five thousand pounds. Exceeding this amount would lead to insufficient spiritual energy.]

[Also, unlike the Blessed Land Field, the land in reality gets only one crop per year.]

[Even so, you were very satisfied. One Spirit Stone and one Gathering Spirit Flower could sustain three acres of Spirit Fields, yielding fifteen thousand pounds of grain. And the small Spirit Gathering Array could operate for centuries without issue!]

[You still had a thousand Spirit Stones, making an annual output of fifteen million pounds realistic!]

[The only issue was your insufficient supply of Gathering Spirit Flowers. To cultivate a thousand acres, you needed at least three hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers.]

[But your goal was met—this Spirit Grain could benefit all humanity, a century-long plan that didn't need immediate results. Your test was merely to ensure its feasibility in the real world.]

[During these years, your five hundred acres in the Blessed Land Field were already planted with Spirit Grains, and after six or seven years, you had a stock of thirty million pounds of Spirit Grains.]

[You took out this stock, selecting a hundred thousand talented youths under eighteen nationwide who hadn't awakened their professions yet.]

[These hundred thousand youths were still ordinary people, but you planned to supply each of them with a hundred pounds of Spirit Rice annually, aiming to observe the overall impact of Spirit Rice on ordinary humans.]

[You retained some Spirit Rice for personal consumption, selling the rest through the Tarot Commerce Association.]

[You sold the Spirit Rice for a price of one hundred thousand per pound, quite affordable, practically giving it away.]

[But with one condition: buyers must consume it themselves, and only those at their current level's peak unable to advance could buy, with a max limit of twenty pounds per purchase.]

[Despite the strict regulations, nearly twenty million pounds of Spirit Rice were sold out within a month.]

[Most buyers were profession users at the pinnacle of the Bronze Level, unable to break through to the Silver Level.]

[There were also many Silver Level users stuck at the peak, unable to advance to the Gold Level.]

[The twenty million pounds sold to a million profession users, you tasked the Tarot Commerce Association to track their progress and would revisit them months later to see how the Spirit Rice affected their advancement.]

[This was a monumental project, but you had the resources and official support, knowing this was beneficial to all humanity.]

[Results came first from the million profession users at bottlenecks.]

[Within half a year, your data was collated and submitted to you.]

[Among them, sixty thousand Bronze Level users consumed ten pounds of Spirit Rice. Within a month, three hundred thousand broke through to the Silver Level, with two hundred ninety-five thousand more advancing within six months...]

[Overall success rate exceeding 99%!]
