Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation! - Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Chapter 133 New Talent, Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Calamity! (First Update)_2
 

[Ding! This simulation consumed 3,700 points of energy. Remaining energy: 44,980,000 points. Remaining simulations: unlimited.]

[Simulation start!]

[Drawing a green talent costs 1,000 points of energy. Drawing a blue talent costs 10,000 points of energy. Drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 points of energy. Do you wish to draw?]

“Draw a purple talent!”

Su Xing said boldly. A hundred thousand points of energy were just a small sum for him now.

[Congratulations! You have acquired the purple talent: Fortuneteller!]

“Hmm? Fortuneteller… This talent seems interesting!”

Su Xing glanced at the explanation of the talent.

[Fortuneteller]: Purple talent. You are divinely protected; misfortune will avoid you, and when you encounter bad luck, you often emerge unscathed.

Explanation: An airplane crashes from ten thousand meters high, but you miss the flight due to traffic. A giant ship sinks to the ocean’s depths, but you’re on a lifeboat because of seasickness.

Su Xing looked at the “Fortuneteller” talent in front of him, thoughtful.

His first reaction was that this skill seemed to be a perfect match with the “I Can’t Be The Only One Unlucky” talent!

“Goodness, ‘I Can’t Be The Only One Unlucky’ is like an indiscriminate nuke—it’s powerful but with huge side effects… But this Fortuneteller talent seems to counterbalance it well!”

Su Xing’s eyes lit up, as if he had discovered a combo between the talents!

Entering the Descending Sect alone, wiping out the entire sect without anyone noticing, and walking away unscathed…

“Hiss, this looks promising!”

Su Xing was very interested in this Fortuneteller talent.

“But to know the specific effects, we still need to see future simulations…”

He looked at the simulation panel.

[In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you recognized that you were in a simulation.]

[You attempted to trigger the Fortuneteller talent, but due to your naturally good luck, no misfortune occurred, so it didn’t work.]

[So you deliberately went to the herbal store, bought two pounds of arsenic, and drank it down.]

[With your Divine Strength Realm physique, arsenic had no effect on you.]

[Yet mysteriously, after drinking a pound of arsenic, you got diarrhea. You took the arsenic to the store owner for a refund.]

[Coincidentally, the market regulators passed by and found the arsenic expired. The store owner compensated you fifty thousand.]

Su Xing saw this and laughed joyfully, exclaiming:

“Is this Fortuneteller talent truly a divine skill?”

“If I were an ordinary person, wouldn’t eating arsenic also not kill me, just giving me diarrhea and earning me fifty thousand?”

Su Xing happily continued trying.

[You went to the bank to withdraw money, encountered robbers, but they forgot to load their guns. You subdued them and won the ‘Good City Citizen Award!’]

[You swam in the river and got bitten by a non-venomous snake. The Biological Association verified it was an extinct species, earning you a handsome reward.]

[You jumped from a high building…]

Su Xing tried several times in a row, finally confirming.

This talent did not activate under normal circumstances but only in dangerous or unlucky situations, helping Su Xing avoid peril.

After repeated risky attempts, Su Xing suffered no losses; instead, he gained many rewards.

“Tsk tsk, from this perspective, this talent really is a perfect match with ‘I Can’t Be The Only One Unlucky’!”

Su Xing murmured to himself, ready to start a normal simulation.

[After testing the new talent, you were satisfied and began your daily alchemy practice.]

[A month later, Jin Congxue delivered the collected herbs to you. You used these herbs to refine five top-grade Life Extension Pills.]

[To be safe, you did not directly go to the Baili Business Association this time.]

[Knowing the location of Baili Trading House, you took the Disguise Pill and Breath Concealing Pill to ensure your identity wouldn’t be exposed, then headed to Guang Province.]

[On a dark, windy night, you snuck into the Baili family courtyard, entered Baili Tu’s room, and proposed a trade.]

[Seeing your disguise and the terrifying aura emanating from you, Baili Qi agreed temporarily to keep you calm, asking what you wanted to trade.]

[You showed a top-grade Life Extension Pill, telling him it could extend his life by five years. In exchange, you needed the rare instance dungeon items he had!]

[Seeing the Life Extension Pill in your hand, Baili Tu’s eyes flashed with desire, but he wasn’t sure of your identity and dared not make a move, so he agreed for now.]

[Unexpectedly, the Baili family’s guards and enforcers rushed in, including a Martial Emperor Level expert.]

[Seeing this, you snorted coldly, fighting the Martial Emperor alone without falling behind.]

[After repelling the Martial Emperor, you stated that if they were unwilling to trade, you would leave right now.]

[Baili Tu panicked, craving the Life Extension Pill in your hand.]

[Eventually, you met Baili Qi and traded with him, haggling to exchange one top-grade Life Extension Pill for half of Baili Qi’s ‘collection.’]

[After leaving the Baili household, you switched disguises, entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land for a few days to ensure no one followed you, then returned to Kyoto.]

[Unexpectedly, half a month later, your identity was still discovered. The Baili family, after investigating, personally came to ask for more Life Extension Pills.]

Su Xing saw this and frowned, muttering:

“Even after hiding my identity, trading is still not feasible? Where did it go wrong?”

Su Xing was puzzled. Logically, with the Disguise Pill and Breath Concealing Pill, and his caution, he shouldn’t have been found out…

“Could it be that batch of instance dungeon items had issues?”

Su Xing thought, turning his gaze to the simulation panel.

[You carefully examined the batch of instance dungeon items, but there were too many to check each one.]

[So you directly asked Baili Qi how he discovered your identity. Baili Qi apologized and gifted you another batch of items. He told you he had hidden a locator device among those instance dungeon items, thus knowing your identity and location.]

[Feeling helpless, you harbored some resentment toward the Baili Business Association. But considering the compensation, you said nothing more.]

[In the subsequent months, your identity was repeatedly uncovered and spread to various forces in the Great Xia Country.]

[Countless people flocked to you, offering vast sums for your Life Extension Pills, causing you much trouble.]

[You had to fend them off until one day, Damned Zong found you.]

[He still believed you were a cultivator from some instance dungeon who had taken your own body.]

[Without explaining much, you made a deal with him, exchanging two Life Extension Pills for many rare spiritual medicines and successfully joining the Descending Sect.]

[After that, you and Damned Zong became surface-level brothers. To outsiders, you seemed very close, but each harbored their own motives.]

[A few days later, you contacted Luo Shuying. After some exchanges, you gained her trust.]

[Luo Shuying helped you acquire a large amount of medicinal herbs, and you began refining elixirs.]

[In a few short months, you refined over a thousand Soul Condensing Pills and many Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills.]

[You tried consuming Soul Condensing Pills to increase your Divine Sense, but it reached a bottleneck and didn’t grow for months.]

[Helpless, you focused all your energy on refining Infant Tempering Pills.]

[You researched the Infant Tempering Pills daily, and your alchemy skills improved steadily with continuous practice.]

[After several months of effort, your skills in refining Infant Tempering Pills finally broke through to the Mahayana Level!]

[Following that, you spent two more weeks refining ten top-grade Infant Tempering Pills, ready to make a full attempt at forming a Nascent Soul!]

[Choosing an auspicious date, ensuring no interruptions, you entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land.]

[After swallowing two Enlightenment of Heart Pills and adjusting your mind state to a realm of selflessness, you were ready to break through!]
