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

[In the seventh year, you schemed to remove the leader of the Nature Faction and took their place...]

[In the eighth year, you killed the Dragon Protector and became the leader of Blue Star's Descending Sect.]

[You knew that three years later, Blood Three would descend on Blue Star, but until then, you had the ultimate say on the planet.]

[So, you used your geological expert talent, focusing your energy every day on searching for Spirit Veins and Alien Metal Minerals.]

[In the eleventh year, you searched more than half of the Xianwu Continent but still found no Spirit Vein.]

[However, you were fortunate to discover more Alien Metal Veins, which you documented on your self-drawn map, one by one.]

[In the same year, Blood Three arrived at the Descending Sect. You offered the Spirit Vein Dragon and gained the trust of Blood Three, acquiring a pass.]

[That year, Blood Three asked you to intensify the investigation into the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.]

[After fooling Blood Three into leaving, you continued to diligently search for traces of Spirit Veins...]

In the real world, Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly.

"At this point, my cultivation level had already reached Body Integration Realm's perfection, temporarily unable to break through, so the Spirit Vein Dragon wouldn't be needed for this simulation..."

"Instead, the branches containing the Wood and Fire Great Dao could be used to try to comprehend the essence of Wood and Fire."

Pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued:

"However, the geological expert talent brought me the biggest surprise... With this talent, finding Alien Metal Veins became much easier..."

"I wonder, in the Immortal Martial Era instance, if there are still any Spirit Veins?"

Su Xing felt a bit curious and looked toward the simulation panel.

[In the twelfth year, you continued exploring the Xianwu Continent and discovered many Alien Metal Ore Fields, each containing considerable energy.]

[But to your disappointment, you didn't find a single Spirit Vein.]

[Time flew by and three years passed...]

[In the fifteenth year, one day you suddenly sensed a special vein.]

[This wasn't the Alien Metal Vein you had encountered before, but a Spirit Vein!]

[However, this Spirit Vein was too weak, and you only faintly sensed some Spirit Stones buried underground.]

[Without hesitation, you quickly began to mine this area.]

[An hour later, you dug down 500 meters underground and found over a hundred low-grade Spirit Stones.]

[But as you continued to dig deeper, you sensed that there seemed to be more Spirit Stones below!]

[This excited you, driving you to keep digging with even more enthusiasm.]

[Three days later, you finally discovered a small Spirit Ore Vein hidden a thousand feet underground.]

[The quality of this Spirit Ore Vein was not high, just a low-grade Spirit Ore, but it contained a sizeable number of Spirit Stones.]

[Above the vein, there was a small formation that not only shielded the vein's presence but also prevented the slow diffusion of spiritual energy.]

[This justo played into your favor, and you spent three days extracting the entire vein.]

[This vein extended thousands of meters underground, spanning ten kilometers in length.]

[After fully extracting it, you obtained 300,000 low-grade Spirit Stones...]

[Having found a Spirit Vein, you resumed surveying the Xianwu Continent...]

[In the seventeenth year, you were certain you had traversed every corner of the continent, meticulously recording all possible locations of Alien Metal Veins, and returned to Blue Star.]

Su Xing looked at the simulation text before him, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"It seems that in this age of deteriorating dharma, there are still traces of Spirit Veins!"

"This Spirit Vein likely existed thousands of years ago, and True Person Wan Mu must have overlooked it back then... Hence, it remains preserved to this day."

"Although 300,000 low-grade Spirit Stones isn't much, it's pretty good for me..."

Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, then muttered:

"Activate immersive mode..."

[Ding...]

...

An hour later, Su Xing returned to Blue Star. At this moment, his mind had memorized all the information about Alien Metal Veins in the Immortal Martial Era instance, including that Spirit Vein!

"Hmm, not bad!"

"Altogether, there are nearly a thousand Alien Metal Veins from first to fourth rank… among which there are eighty-seven third-rank Alien Metal Veins and sixteen fourth-rank Alien Metal Veins..."

"These veins will allow me to extract a lot of Alien Metal!"

Su Xing was very pleased with this.

In the past, finding Alien Metal had been difficult, but with the "geological expert" talent, the difficulty of locating Alien Metal Veins greatly reduced!

His gaze shifted back to the simulation panel.

[In the eighteenth year, you visited the Beast Taming Realm instance, killing hundreds of Legendary Demon Beasts and three Demon Emperors.]

[During the following years, you hoped to find more Alien Metal Ore Fields in the Beast Taming Realm.]

[You discovered that the Beast Taming Realm also had special metals known as Mithril and Fine Gold, which could barely be rated as third or fourth rank Alien Metals in terms of strength.]

[Because Alien Metals are essentially a general term for various exotic metals that contain abundant energy.]

[Every year, you would spend three to five months searching for traces of Alien Metal Veins in the Beast Taming Realm.]

[Thus, two years passed.]

[In the twentieth year, your understanding of the Wood and Fire Great Dao had reached an entry-level stage years ago.]

[You remembered a final ruin within the Immortal Martial Era instance waiting for you to explore.]

[So you entered the ruins of the Commanding Fire Sect, hoping to uncover the secrets within its core.]

[You found that the difficulty of breaking the prohibitions at the heart of the Commanding Fire Sect's ruins exceeded your expectations.]

[Although your understanding of the essence of fire had reached entry-level, it was still challenging to break through.]
