Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

```html

Lu Yuanwu on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then nodded and said,

"I can give you the coordinates for the instance from the Age of the Declining Law, but the Luotian Meeting Instance was closed three years ago, and no one can enter anymore..."

Su Xing was stunned for a moment, then he realized.

In the simulator, three years ago meant that in the real world, there were still three years until the Luotian Meeting Instance's closure.

Su Xing had every opportunity to explore that instance.

So Su Xing said,

"It's fine if it's closed. Just send me the coordinates of both instances!"

Lu Yuanwu nodded after hearing this and reminded,

"Alright, but although the natives in the Age of the Declining Law instance are not strong, it still poses some danger to you. It's best to have two Heavenly King-level experts protect you."

Su Xing agreed and then hung up the phone.

Before long, Lu Yuanwu sent over the coordinates for both instances.

Su Xing looked at them and instantly smiled.

What a coincidence, both instances were inside Kyoto City. If Su Xing had time, he could try exploring the instances.

However, the Age of the Declining Law instance still posed some danger to Su Xing, so it would be better to wait until his cultivation level broke through before going.

Quickly, an hour passed, and the immersive simulation ended. Su Xing's consciousness returned to the real world.

Real world.

Su Xing lay in his dormitory, casually picked up a cup of cola, and took a sip, feeling a dreamlike sensation.

"Immersive simulation... it truly is a wonderful experience! It's definitely a great opportunity to gain some insights and information..."

Su Xing took a deep breath and took a long time to recover.

After adjusting his mindset, Su Xing chose to continue the simulation.

[In the dormitory, you asked Lu Yuanwu for the coordinates of the two instances.]

[You called over two Heavenly King-level experts and told them you needed peace while refining elixirs and that no one must disturb you, also telling them not to approach your dormitory.]

[The two Heavenly King-level experts respected you highly and immediately agreed.]

[After confirming no one was spying on you, you entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land.]

[You spent two hours refining a batch of Organ Refining Pill, and the rest of the time, you began to cultivate.]

[You insisted on eating Spirit Rice every day and supplemented your physical strength by consuming a large number of Spirit Chicken eggs. Your Body Refinement Cultivation Level advanced rapidly. Besides that, you spent several hours a day using Spirit Stones for cultivation.]

[In the seventh year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level broke through to the Great Perfection of the Bone Forging Realm, but your Qi Refining Cultivation Level was still at Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm!]

[In the eighth year, you cultivated diligently, and your cultivation level made great progress, but the Spiritual Energy within your body was still insufficient to break through to the Golden Core Stage.]

[In the ninth year, you attempted to refine a lower-grade elixir called Essence-Nourishing Pill. The Essence-Nourishing Pill not only could enhance a cultivator's Divine Sense, but it also had a significant effect on purifying the Spiritual Energy within the body, helping you break through to the Golden Core Stage.]

[Among the refining materials for the Essence-Nourishing Pill, only one ingredient called Essence-Nourishing Herb was relatively precious. Fortunately, you had planted many Essence-Nourishing Herbs in advance, so you began to try to refine the Essence-Nourishing Pill.]

[Since you had mastered the refining methods for more than ten lower-grade elixirs and the method for refining the Organ Refining Pill, you were already considered an entry-level alchemist, so your alchemy skills for the Essence-Nourishing Pill improved quickly.]

[You spent two hours a day refining Organ Refining Pill to complete the Great Xia Military's tasks and two hours a day on cultivation. Nearly all of your remaining time was spent on refining the Essence-Nourishing Pill.]

[In the first month, you attempted to refine the Essence-Nourishing Pill twenty-eight times, successfully forming pills once, with the remaining twenty-seven attempts failing.]

[In the third month, you didn't lose confidence and worked even harder, making rapid progress. You refined thirty batches of Essence-Nourishing Pills and successfully formed pills five times.]

[In the sixth month, you continued refining the Essence-Nourishing Pill, and by then, your pill success rate had reached a high of fifty percent, with five successes out of every ten batches.]

[Unfortunately, your accumulated Essence-Nourishing Herbs were depleted after months of continuous alchemy. You no longer had Essence-Nourishing Herbs to continue refining.]

[Fortunately, over the past six months, you had accumulated enough Essence-Nourishing Pills to purify your Spiritual Energy, giving you the confidence to break through to the Golden Core Realm.]

[However, you didn't want to break through to the Golden Core Realm right away, as that would result in the weakest Golden Core. According to the Changchun Technique, Golden Cores are categorized into three grades: lower, middle, and upper grades.]

[So you started continuously refining and compressing the Spiritual Energy within your body. The entire process was extremely painful, but your willpower was remarkable, and you gritted your teeth and persevered.]

[In the tenth year, after a year of ceaselessly refining your Spiritual Energy, you felt your Spiritual Energy becoming increasingly pure, so you began to try taking the Essence-Nourishing Pill.]

[According to the Li Fire Alchemy, the Essence-Nourishing Pill was different from the Organ Refining Pill. The Organ Refining Pill's medicinal properties were more brutal and intense, potentially causing physical harm or even the risk of death to cultivators with insufficient constitutions.

However, the Essence-Nourishing Pill was gentler, even when taken by Qi Refinement Realm cultivators, it wouldn't cause any harm.]

[You took out a specially crafted jade box. The jade box could extend the potency of the elixirs, slowing the loss of their medicinal properties. This jade box contained over a hundred finished Essence-Nourishing Pills, accumulated over the past few months.]

[You took out one Essence-Nourishing Pill and consumed it. As expected, the medicinal properties were gentle, and you felt your entire body relax, with the Spiritual Energy within you being cleansed and refined as if by a gentle wind.]

[You spent several hours absorbing all the medicinal power of the Essence-Nourishing Pill. You carefully sensed the changes within your body and found that your total Spiritual Energy had increased by about one percent, with its quality also improving by one percent.]

[You rejoiced and continued taking one Essence-Nourishing Pill daily for the next three months, feeling the infinite flow of Spiritual Energy within your body. Your mana became several times more abundant than before. Though your cultivation level stayed at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm, your strength had increased several times!]

Su Xing read this and paused for a moment. With the same cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Realm, his strength could actually increase several times!

"It seems my previous cultivation was not solid enough! Indeed, the path of cultivation requires constant exploration..."

"However, Foundation Establishment Great Perfection is already several times stronger than a Silver Level profession user... Now that my strength has doubled again, doesn't that mean I can match a Gold Level profession user?"

Su Xing had a thought. At this rate, when he broke through to the Golden Core Realm, he likely would be on par with an ordinary Master Level profession user, allowing him to fully explore the Age of the Declining Law instance.

With this in mind, Su Xing continued to choose the simulation.

[In the twelfth year, after two years of cultivation, you felt your cultivation level becoming increasingly solid, sensing an imminent breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm...]
