Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[You began to search for useful treasures within these ruins.]

[Your divine sense rapidly swept through every corner of the core area, but you didn't find any large medicine fields, nor any other living dead puppets.]

[You only saw a few corpses that were as smooth and translucent as jade.]

[To your disappointment, there was no trace of Spirit Vein Dragons in these ruins.]

[However, you did discover quite a few Spirit Stones in a corner.]

[At this moment, the living dead behind you were once again in hot pursuit.]

[Gritting your teeth, you once again raised your Protective Gang Qi and ran straight for the Spirit Stones.]

[You quickly gathered the Spirit Stones into your Storage Magical Artifact, but by then the living dead had already renewed their assault.]

[This time, their attack was even more ferocious!]

[Fortunately, with the protection of the Protective Gang Qi, you were not killed on the spot, suffering only grievous injuries that left you in a pitiful state.]

[A thought crossed your mind, preparing to flee into the Spirit Field Cave for temporary refuge from the attacks of the living dead puppets.]

[However, within the ancient tomb of the ruins, it seemed there was a spatial formation that slowed your entry into the Spirit Field Cave by one second.]

[And that one second was fatal!]

[Your body was battered and torn under the relentless attack of the living dead.]

[Forced to leave your body with your divine soul, you hoped to escape this calamity.]

[But the living dead gave you no opportunity, they annihilated your divine soul outright.]

[You died!]

[Ding, this simulation has ended!]

After the simulation ended, Su Xing frowned tightly, seemingly deep in thought.

"Why is the relic of the Five Elements Sect different from that of the Wan Mu Sect... why is there no trace of a Spirit Vein Dragon?"

"And why... is True Person Wan Mu still asleep, but that Broken Void Realm Great Perfection cultivator from the Five Elements Sect has awoken early?"

Su Xing seemed to have captured some critical information, but couldn't connect it all right away.

"Wait... True Person Wan Mu intercepts the spirit veins beneath the heavens, gathers the Spirit Vein Dragon, cultivating himself..."

"Could it be that other sects are completely unaware of this!"

"It's also because the Spirit Veins were cut off that the Spiritual Energy rapidly depleted over the centuries..."

"As for that Five Elements Sect cultivator turning into a living dead... It's probably related to True Person Wan Mu too!"

Su Xing seemed to have caught the key information.

"Thus, the towering resentment of that living dead... also makes sense now..."

"Perhaps someone discovered True Person Wan Mu's plan, which is why a melee erupted in the relics of the Wan Mu Sect, and why there are Living Dead Puppets in the relics?"

Su Xing was contemplative, feeling that following this line of thought should put him on the right track.

"However, as for the specifics... I still need to look into the Immortal Martial Era Instance to consult historical texts and search further..."

Su Xing sighed; after a few thousand years, those historical texts must be hard to find.

However, there might still be some traces in the three major sects of the current Immortal Martial Era Instance.

Su Xing planned to explore when he had the time, as these pieces of information might be helpful for his exploration of the relics and ancient tombs.

"Nevertheless, the purpose of this simulation has been achieved!"

"Spring Dew Pure Water, Spirit Stones... With these, my cultivation in the Return to Void Realm should proceed much smoother!"

With this thought in mind, Su Xing turned his attention towards the rewards of this simulation.

[I am not a Rain God]: Purple Talent, priced at 1 million energy points.

[Twenty Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, including the comprehension of Rebirth Pills (Medium Perfection, High-grade entry) priced at 7 million energy points.

[220,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones, 5,000 Medium-grade Spirit Stones, 300 High-grade Spirit Stones]: priced at 300 million energy points.

[240 drops of Spring Dew Pure Water]: The first thread of rootless water to fall on the day of Awakening Insects, containing mysterious power, can be used in crafting Void Refinement Pills, a total of 240 drops, priced at 24 million energy points.

[Damned Zong's Diary]: priced at 10,000 energy points.

[Ores containing Third and Fourth Rank Special Metals, 1000 cubic meters]: valued at 150 billion energy points, its value halved due to a large number of impurities.

Su Xing looked at the rewards of this simulation without much hesitation.

After all, the purpose of this simulation was to obtain Spring Dew Pure Water and Spirit Stone resources for his breakthrough into the Return to Void Realm later on.

But the problem was, Su Xing's simulation energy was insufficient!

His current simulation energy was at most 147.56 million points, yet taking out the Spirit Stones and Spring Dew Pure Water required 324 million energy points.

Su Xing turned his gaze to the last reward option, his face showing some surprise.

"The Third and Fourth Rank Special Metals in that Scarlet Hell Abyss, are they really worth a total of 150 billion energy points?"

"Wait... after the simulator takes a tenfold mark-up... it should be 15 billion simulation energy points!"

Seeing such a huge amount of energy, Su Xing's heart nearly leaped out of his chest.

15 billion energy points, that would be enough for his cultivation to reach the Broken Void Realm and even Great Perfection in the Return to Void Realm!

"But... what's with the halving of its value?"

Su Xing was somewhat puzzled.

And for once, the simulator provided Su Xing with an answer.

[Ding, as the proportion of the special metal contained in the ore is 3.7 percent, it is considered a secondary energy material... If purified, its value can reach 30 billion energy points.]

Su Xing immediately understood the simulator's meaning.

"So, if I directly absorb it, the value is 15 billion energy points... If purified before absorption, the value is 30 billion energy points, right?"

Su Xing was somewhat excited; whether it was 15 billion or 30 billion, it was a huge sum for him!

"In that case, I should head to the Scarlet Hell Abyss instance first!"

Su Xing muttered to himself.

Before, he had used the immersive simulation feature to fully simulate the scenario of going to the Scarlet Hell Abyss.

Now going there again in the real world should be foolproof!
