[Equipment: Mo Bing]

Through several simulations, Su Xing’s Body Refinement and Qi Refinement cultivation levels had seen tremendous improvement.

And with the blessing of his talents, Su Xing was like a walking set of stats.

Even his skillset had grown quite substantial, enough to barely exhibit battle power equivalent to the Divinity Transformation Stage.

“But this cultivation technique…”

Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows, realizing that the technique he was currently practicing was still the previously acquired Changchun Technique, which could only be cultivated up to the Great Perfection of the Return to Void Realm.

Although Su Xing had just entered the Divinity Transformation Stage, he still needed to consider his future. If he didn’t plan for it now, he’d waste a lot of time later searching for a cultivation technique.

Su Xing thought to himself:

“Speaking of which, I have dual-type spiritual roots of wood and fire, but the current technique I practice is only wood-based. I have yet to master a fire-based technique.”

“As of now, I know of four ways to obtain a cultivation technique.”

“First, through the Luotian Meeting instance, repeated immersive simulations to memorize the technique. But this consumes too much simulated energy and effort. Without triggering an epiphany, it would take at least ten simulations to fully memorize an Earth Rank technique!”

“Secondly, through that damned Zong… As a monster who has lived for two thousand years, he must possess techniques for higher levels. Maybe I can get my hands on one.”

“Thirdly, the End of Dharma Instance. Although I haven’t visited it yet, it’s safe to say that Zong came from this instance, and the Changchun Sect from before is probably a part of it as well.”

“Therefore, although spiritual energy is fading, it doesn’t rule out the possibility of higher-level techniques!”

“Lastly, after breaking into the Return to Void Realm, I could find my cheap master Qing Yunzi and see if I can obtain a higher-level technique from him!”

Su Xing carefully considered his options.

Forcefully memorizing techniques through the Luotian Meeting wasn’t worth it. The simulated energy required could reach billions.

This route was a backup; unless absolutely necessary, Su Xing didn’t want to take it.

As for breaking into the Return to Void Realm and searching for Qing Yunzi, there were too many uncertainties!

After all, Su Xing hadn’t figured out Qing Yunzi’s intentions. Although he was Su Xing’s cheap master, one couldn’t be too cautious. What if Qing Yunzi turned out to be a great demon who wanted to refine Su Xing into a Human Pill?

When he first began cultivation, Su Xing wasn’t aware of the cruel reality of the cultivation world.

But now, through that damned Zong, Su Xing understood its brutality.

Breaking through to the Return to Void Realm within less than a year was too extraordinary. What if Qing Yunzi wanted to uncover the secrets behind him…

Hiss~ The consequences would be unimaginable!

With Su Xing’s cautious nature, he naturally wouldn’t take this risk!

“So, there are only two paths left!”

Su Xing’s eyes slightly narrowed.

“The End of Dharma Era… and that damned Zong, I’m going to take both paths!”

Su Xing made a plan for the future and let out a long sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to return to the Spirit Field Blessed Land to practice alchemy, he suddenly detected a figure within the range of his divine sense.

Su Xing’s expression slightly changed.

“It’s Wang Qingxuan… Why is she hiding behind the dorm building, crying by herself?”

Su Xing felt a bit puzzled. He didn’t dislike this junior, in fact, he had a faint liking for her.

After all, Wang Qingxuan wasn’t a bad person and had always been kind to Su Xing. She had even helped him acquire the Changchun Technique in the initial stages.

“So, what trouble is Wang Qingxuan in?”

With this in mind, Su Xing pretended to casually pass by the back of the dorm building, creating an opportunity for a coincidental encounter.

“Junior, what happened to you?”

Seeing Wang Qingxuan hiding in the corner, choking up continuously, looking so helpless and fragile, Su Xing felt a bit sympathetic and handed her a tissue.

When Wang Qingxuan saw that it was Su Xing, she felt even more ashamed, seemingly not wanting to let her crush see her in such a state.

So she hurriedly tried to escape.

Su Xing quickly grabbed Wang Qingxuan, wiping the tears from her face with the tissue, and asked:

“Junior, tell me what’s wrong!”

Wang Qingxuan looked up at Su Xing, warmth surging in her heart. Unable to hold back any longer, she threw herself into Su Xing’s arms and cried bitterly.

“Senior… my, my parents, they died… they died…”

Upon hearing this, Su Xing’s face changed instantly. Wang Qingxuan’s parents were dead?

So Su Xing quickly said:

“Junior, don’t rush, tell me slowly…”

Wang Qingxuan took the tissue, slowly wiped away her tears, and recounted her recent experiences.

It turned out that, although Wang Qingxuan’s family wasn’t well-off, her parents were both Silver Level profession users.

They had been working for an organization called the “Black Dragon Profession Users’ Guild.”

The profession users’ guild could be counted as one of the most common profession user organizations in society.

After graduating from the profession users’ university, aside from a few geniuses who would be specially recruited by the government, most profession users would join guilds, societies, and companies.

The main work of the profession users’ guild was to venture into instances to farm equipment or help an employer obtain rare items from instances, or even to level up the employer.

Employed profession users would receive a salary, and they could also receive a certain percentage of the equipment and items obtained from instances.

The guild’s power wasn’t weak either. Many profession users would team up to venture into instances, growing their levels faster and ensuring greater safety.

However, according to Wang Qingxuan…

Her parents had perished half a month ago due to a misinformation during a mission from the Black Dragon Guild.

Although such incidents weren’t common, they did occur occasionally each year.

After all, venturing into instances wasn’t like playing a game; it was a real-life battle with instance monsters!

It was very easy to die if one wasn’t careful.

But the problem was that those who died on behalf of the guild should receive a substantial compensation!

Especially for someone like Wang Qingxuan, who was still in university and at a crucial stage in developing her abilities and needing funds.

Her parents’ death should have entitled her to compensation even exceeding ten million Great Xia Coins!

But the Black Dragon Guild refused to compensate and even altered the contract.

How could a university student like Wang Qingxuan possibly contend with such a powerful guild?

With her parents’ death and the loss of her primary financial support, Wang Qingxuan suddenly found life hopeless.

Seeing Wang Qingxuan cry so desperately in his arms, Su Xing felt a pang of sympathy.

“Black Dragon Profession Users’ Guild, that name sounds somewhat familiar?”

Su Xing suddenly remembered something, pondering deeply.

“Right! In one of my simulations, I destroyed a guild called Black Dragon Guild… Could there be a connection?”

Su Xing’s mind raced as he continued to comfort Wang Qingxuan, he said:

“Junior, calm down for a few days. I’ll think of a way to help you with this matter!”
