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

...

Time quickly reached the afternoon, and the cooldown period was over. Su Xing prepared to start a new round of simulation.

"Start simulation!"

[Ding! This simulation consumed 7,900 points of energy, leaving 265.53 million points remaining. Number of remaining simulations: unlimited.]

[Simulation start!]

[Extracting Purple Talent costs 100,000 points of energy, extracting Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 million energy points. Proceed with extraction?]

"Extract Golden Talent!"

Su Xing silently thought.

[Ding, congratulations on acquiring the Purple Talent: Geological Expert. The probability of acquiring Golden Talent next time is 50%...]

[Geological Expert]: Purple Talent. You have a special sensitivity to Spirit Veins and special minerals, making it easier to discover hidden Spirit Veins and special minerals.

In the real world, Su Xing's eyes lit up upon seeing this talent.

"Whoa... Finally, a useful talent!"

Although it was a Purple Talent, it was incredibly suitable for Su Xing.

Finding Spirit Veins could bring Su Xing cultivation resources... Finding special minerals, wouldn't that include alien metals? They could provide Su Xing with energy!

"I just wonder... how effective this talent really is!"

"If this talent can indeed help find Spirit Stones and alien metals, that would be a huge gain!"

Su Xing was eager to experience it and looked at the simulation panel.

[In the Spirit Field Cave, you realized you were simulating.]

[You traded with Lu Yuanwu, and no issues occurred.]

[You handed Lifespan Extension Pills, high-level Talismans, and other items to several puppets for trading with other merchant guilds.]

[Ten days later, you went to the Luo Tian Instance.]

[Your Puppetry Technique improved daily but remained at the Minor Achievement Level.]

[Based on your estimation, the Mahayana Level of Puppetry Technique would be terrifying, capable of crafting puppets comparable to the Immortal Realm.]

[You were still a long way from this goal.]

[Introduced by Luo Shuying, you joined the Descending Sect.]

[For the next two years, you refined elixirs daily to solidify your position within the sect.]

[In the third year, you handed over more than 200,000 elixirs to the Great Xia Military.]

[Additionally, in the past two years, your puppet organization, Heavenly Secret Pavilion, brought you a mountain of alien metals, various equipment, and instance dungeon items...]

[With the previous experience, you equipped each puppet with several Sixth Rank Talismans for self-defense.]

[By activating the Talismans, each puppet could possess strength comparable to a Martial Emperor!]

[In this way, the puppets didn't need to engage in combat themselves, significantly reducing the consumption of Spirit Stones and Spiritual Energy...]

In the real world, Su Xing's eyes brightened, and he slapped his forehead, saying:

"Right! Why didn't I think of that?"

"Puppets fighting directly consume a lot of Spiritual Energy, requiring long recharge times..."

"But if the puppets just activate Talismans for fighting, it would greatly reduce unnecessary energy consumption, allowing a puppet to operate for much longer!"

After a pause, Su Xing continued:

"Moreover, with Sixth Rank Talismans, they could battle Martial Emperors... If there were Seventh Rank Talismans, wouldn't it be capable of killing a Martial Emperor!?"

"By then, I wouldn't need to worry about the small tricks of these merchant guilds anymore..."

Su Xing nodded in satisfaction. Unintentionally, the simulation had pointed him in a new direction.

Also, Spiritual Energy and Spirit Stones were precious resources for Su Xing.

As for Talismans, Su Xing could inscribe dozens of Fifth Rank Talismans and several Sixth Rank Talismans in a day, more than enough for consumption!

Regarding the materials for inscribing Talismans... Demonic Beast skin, Spiritual Ink, Spiritual Paper, and so on, there were plenty in the Storage Rings of True Person Wan Mu and Five Elements True Master.

Su Xing wouldn't have to worry about a shortage of materials for a long time.

"Not bad!"

Su Xing exclaimed in admiration, eyes back on the simulation panel.

[In the fourth year, besides solidifying your position in the Descending Sect, you began searching for potential Spirit Veins.]

[You first thought of the Immortal Martial Era Instance and entered it.]

[You tried to activate the "Geological Expert" Talent but found that its range was smaller than expected.]

[You had to be extremely close to the Spirit Vein and stay for a certain time to sense its presence.]

[The range was about a hundred paces radius for sensing Spirit Veins...]

[Thus, you had no choice but to measure every inch of land in the Immortal Martial Era, hoping to find the location of Spirit Veins.]

[You spent a year in the Immortal Martial Era Instance, averaging about a hundred miles of geological surveying daily, searching for Spirit Veins and special minerals.]

[The bad news was, after surveying nearly a tenth of the Immortal Martial Continent, you still hadn't found a Spirit Vein.]

[The good news was, you discovered several alien metal veins, though mostly Second and Third Rank alien metals. If fully mined, the energy gained would still be considerable.]

In the real world, Su Xing sighed upon seeing this:

"As expected, in this era of spiritual energy depletion, Spirit Veins are not easy to find... It seems the Spirit Veins on the Immortal Martial Continent have almost been exhausted by True Person Wan Mu..."

"However, luckily there are alien metal veins, so it's still a gain! Of course... If I could go to the Little Qingyun Realm, would I be able to find hidden Spirit Veins!?"

Su Xing felt a bit of anticipation and looked back at the simulation panel.

[In the fifth year, to avoid suspicion, you couldn't spend the entire year in the Immortal Martial Era Instance.]

[So you allocated a few months each year to explore the Immortal Martial Instance, recording the locations of each alien metal vein for future use.]

[In this manner, two years passed...]
