“Heavenly King-Level Glutton?”

Su Xing slightly frowned, puzzled, “This couldn’t be some kind of bottomless pit talent, could it?”

But what followed was a huge surprise for Su Xing from the talent ability of the Heavenly King-Level Glutton.

[Heavenly King-Level Glutton]: You are one in ten thousand when it comes to dry rice eaters, able to eat ten times more than the average person, thus having an exceptionally robust body and relishing every dish you taste. Alongside your astonishing appetite, your digestive system is also extraordinary, capable of absorbing nutrients from food to better strengthen yourself.

After reading it over several times, Su Xing finally grasped the role of the Heavenly King-Level Glutton talent.

Simply put, it should also be a talent that increases cultivation level, allowing Su Xing to enhance his physique through eating!

“This Heavenly King-Level Glutton talent seems to perfectly complement the Innate Divine Strength ah!”

Su Xing’s eyes lit up, the Innate Divine Strength talent allowed him to have an extraordinary physique, and if he continued to feast to further improve his physique, wouldn’t that be an ideal combination?

Thinking this, Su Xing couldn’t wait to start the simulation.

[In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you are aware that you are in a simulation.]

[You pat your belly, feeling a bit hungry, so you stir-fry a few dishes and boil ten jin of Spirit Rice.]

[You scarf down ten bowls of Spirit Rice in one go, only feeling half-full, so you cook another ten jin of Spirit Rice.]

[While cooking the Spirit Rice, the Spirit Chickens in the coop let out greedy cries. You glance at the Spirit Chickens in the coop, and tears uncontrollably roll down your cheeks.]

[The Spirit Chickens in the coop show looks of terror.]

[After a full meal, you begin cultivation, sensing a warm ball of energy in your stomach that spreads through your blood and flesh to every corner of your body, and every limb and bone. Using your Divine Sense, you can feel your physique getting slightly stronger.]

“His~ A meal consists of twenty jin of Spirit Rice, a Spirit Chicken, plus a few dishes, isn’t this damn thing eating more than a pig?”

Su Xing cursed under his breath, then quickly realized.

“Damn, the pig-headed one turns out to be me…”

Su Xing couldn’t help but worry about the management of his future figure.

“However, this Heavenly King-Level Glutton talent really is effective. Every meal seems to strengthen my physical constitution a bit, right? Although the improvement is small, the cumulative effect over days and months is definitely a top-notch talent!”

Su Xing exclaimed, then continued the simulation.

[After cultivation, you begin to concoct elixirs.]

[You multitask, concocting two furnaces of elixirs at the same time, significantly increasing your alchemy speed.]

[A week later, you take six thousand elixirs to see Jin Congxue.]

[Jin Congxue is stunned by the sheer number of elixirs you have produced and says that if you could produce as many each week, it would only take three to four months to swallow up the entire industry of Lingyun Commerce Guild.]

[Moreover, Jin Congxue hands you the first batch of goods following the acquisition of Lingyun Commerce Guild. You are somewhat surprised by the goods, but she says it’s just the first batch. The quantity will only increase over the next few months!]

[Over the next three months, you eat twenty jin of Spirit Rice and a Spirit Chicken every day. In just three months, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level has advanced to the Great Perfection of the Organ Refining Realm.]

[You are amazed to find that because you eat a lot each day, your figure has not gone out of shape; instead, every grain of Spirit Rice transforms into energy that nourishes your body.]

[But you also discover a tricky problem – at your current rate of eating, the few acres of Spirit Field in the blessed land don’t produce enough Spirit Rice for just you.]

[With no other option, you start reclaiming wasteland and expand your Spirit Grain cultivation to ten acres, just enough to sustain your annual food consumption.]

[Beyond that, you raise even more Spirit Chickens; you need to eat one Spirit Chicken every day, making you a terrifying demon in the eyes of those Spirit Chickens.]

[Another three months pass, and you feel your physique getting even stronger and your body reaching perfection, with each muscle brimming with formidable power. But you don’t feel any closer to breaking through to the Origin Martial Realm.]

[Thus, you consult alchemy books and find a Spirit Pill called the Origin Martial Pill, a top-grade low-level elixir for cultivators of the Origin Martial Realm to increase their cultivation level.]

[Based on your previous experience, however, you believe that Organ Refining Realm cultivators with sufficiently strong bodies can also take the Origin Martial Pill.]

Su Xing nodded slightly and murmured to himself:

“Since Spiritual Energy is insufficient and Qi Refining Cultivation is hard to increase, maybe improving Body Refinement Cultivation is also a good choice…”

“I seem to recall that the main ingredient for the Origin Martial Pill is a medicinal herb known as Origin Martial Grass…”

After muttering to himself for a while, Su Xing resumed the simulation.

[One day, Wang Qingxuan finds you, and after a night of tumultuous events, you join the Descending Sect with her.]

[During your first three months in the Descending Sect, you keep a low profile, comfortably being an invisible man in the sect, continuing your arduous cultivation daily aside from the required tasks.]

[In the second year, with your strategic planning, you reveal your talent for alchemy.]

[Both Shadow Protector and Protector Zong of the sect contact you. Without hesitation, you join the faction of Shadow Protector.]

[Shadow Protector tells you that as long as you diligently complete tasks and contribute to the sect, he can guarantee that you will become an Elder within a year.]

[At this point, it’s just you and Shadow Protector. Seeing this, you speak to him the passphrase.]

“`

[You say to Shadow Protector: Do you still remember that little girl who cried all night in the heavy rain? You can’t go back anymore, Luo Shuying!]

Upon seeing this, Su Xing took a deep breath, his heart filled with tension and anticipation.

He had no idea if this passphrase would be enough to gain Shadow Protector’s trust and was anxious about the potential trouble if it failed.

But if Shadow Protector believed him, it would save Su Xing a lot of effort in later simulations—making this risk worthwhile!

Su Xing continued with the simulation, feeling nervous.

[After hearing your words, Luo Shuying fell silent. After a long time, she asked who you are and what your intentions were.]

[You tell Luo Shuying that you are a “time-traveler” and that you are friends who have collaborated many times, the closest of allies. You inform her that in the last timeline, you failed in your struggle, and thus you have come here to find her again.]

[You had expected Luo Shuying to be skeptical, but to your surprise, she believed you. She said you are favored by time and destiny.]

[Luo Shuying asks what your plan is and what she needs to do.]

[You explain your alchemy skills to Luo Shuying in detail and tell her that you need the medicinal ingredients and treasures from the Descending Sect’s treasury. In exchange, you can provide her with elixirs every year.]

[Your alliance is formed as planned, with Luo Shuying providing you with a thousand medicinal herbs per month on top of the three hundred plus that the sect gives you.]

[In the alliance’s first month, you multitask while refining pills, significantly increasing your alchemy efficiency. You manage to produce five thousand Essence-Nourishing Pills monthly, and after handing in the three hundred required for the sect’s task, the vast majority of the pills go into your storage.]

[Besides alchemy, you even find time to cultivate, and your Body Refinement Cultivation Level keeps increasing, but you have yet to break through to the Origin Martial Realm.]

[So you go to Luo Shuying and tell her you need medicinal herbs called Origin Martial Grass and Dragon Spirit Flower, and you sketch their appearances for her.]

[A few days later, Luo Shuying brings you a hundred Origin Martial Grass and a hundred Dragon Spirit Flowers. She explains that these two types of spiritual medicine are quite precious even within the treasury, and that together, they don’t exceed two thousand in the entire treasury, and exchanging for these requires contribution points from within the sect.]

[At the same time, Luo Shuying says she has accumulated many contribution points over the years as a protector. If you need it, she can help you exchange for all those two thousand plus herbs.]

[You are delighted with this offer and hope that, besides these herbs, she will also give you the Condensing Spirit Wood from the sect’s treasury.]

[Luo Shuying nods and departs. A few days later, she brings you the two thousand plus medicinal herbs and the three-zhang long Condensing Spirit Wood.]

Upon seeing this, Su Xing’s heart leaps with joy, and he clenches his fist, murmuring:

“As expected, I made the right bet! With Shadow Protector’s help, the efficiency of acquiring medicines from the sect has indeed skyrocketed!”

In the last simulation, it took Su Xing ten years to obtain these medicines, but now he had just entered the sect and already received them.

“Moreover, Luo Shuying’s status within the sect is definitely not low; I can ask her for almost anything I need, which will surely speed up my alchemy and cultivation immensely!”

Su Xing was very much looking forward to the upcoming simulation.

[“After you obtained the elixirs, you started with refining the Dragon Spirit Pills, which you were quite familiar with, achieving a high success rate of fifty percent.”]

[“In the following half-year, aside from completing necessary tasks, you devoted your primary attention to the refining of Dragon Spirit Pills.”]

[“It took you half a year to successfully refine four thousand Dragon Spirit Pills. You knew this meant that you could bring nearly four hundred Heavenly King Level powerhouses to the Great Xia Country, so you treasured and carefully stored away the Dragon Spirit Pills.”]

[“Because of your outstanding performance over this half-year, fulfilling the sect’s alchemy tasks on time and earning the appreciation of the Shadow Protector, you were promoted to become the eighteenth Elder of the Descending Sect, codenamed Elder Yao.”]

[“In your third year, you began attempting to refine the Origin Martial Pills.”]

[“Since your alchemy skills had already reached a minor level of accomplishment, and you had experience refining Dragon Spirit Pills and Soul Condensing Pills, the top-notch lower-grade Origin Martial Pills did not pose a challenge to you.”]

[“In the first month of learning to refine Origin Martial Pills, you refined thirty batches, successfully producing two batches, though the quality of both was poor.”]

[“In the second month, you learned from your experiences, gaining a preliminary understanding of the Origin Martial Pills. You refined thirty batches, successfully producing four batches, doubling your success rate.”]

[“In the third month, your alchemy skills improved further, and you refined thirty batches, successfully producing six batches.”]

[“In the fourth month, you refined thirty batches, with ten successful batches.”]

[“In the sixth month, you refined thirty batches of Origin Martial Pills, with fifteen batches turning out successfully. Your success rate was now nearly fifty percent.”]

[“The six consecutive months of studying how to refine Origin Martial Pills had brought your skills in refining them close to a minor level of accomplishment. To progress further, you could only rely on continuous practice.”]

[“Thus, you spent another half-year refining all the remaining Origin Martial Grass into Origin Martial Pills, leaving you with nearly three thousand pills.”]

[“However, you did not immediately plan to take the Origin Martial Pills, as you were worried that they might cause your body to explode, just as the Organ Refining Pills had done before, wasting a simulation opportunity.”]

[“After considering the situation, you decided to wait until the end of the world was near before taking the Origin Martial Pills.”]

[“In your fourth year, you noticed that some rumors were spreading within the Descending Sect. Some sect members gossiped that you were nothing but a kept man by the Shadow Protector, who had spent most of his accumulated contribution points on you, and your promotion to Elder in such a short time was also thanks to the Shadow Protector’s help.”]

[“You scoffed at this, understanding that these people were merely sour grapes. Having a rich, powerful superior who favored you was a situation you could only describe with a resounding ‘Wonderful!’]

[“You continued to focus most of your efforts on improving your alchemy skills. After spending two years refining Dragon Spirit Pills and Origin Martial Pills, you felt that your alchemy skills had further improved, so you started trying to refine the Soul Condensing Pills.”]

[“It took you half a year to refine a hundred batches of Soul Condensing Pills, but disappointingly, you saw no significant improvement in your skill. Even though you believed you had done your best, you only managed to produce twenty to thirty pills, all of which were of inferior quality. This left you utterly baffled.”]

[“You consumed all the inferior Soul Condensing Pills, which further increased your Divine Sense. Your Divine Sense now extended to seventy zhang, but you were still worried about how to better refine the pills.”]

[“One day, as you were refining pills, an idea suddenly struck you. You realized that the difficulty in refining Soul Condensing Pills might be due to the flame you were using, so you turned your attention to the Li fire in the palm of your hand.”]
