Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation! - Chapter 98

Chapter 98: Chapter 95: The Luo Tian Conference!_2
 

This youth was named Shennong Youtian. The name might sound odd but he truly lived up to it, often tilling in the Spirit Field.

Upon hearing this, Shennong Youtian nodded and said,

“If that’s the case, then nephew Luo, please lead the way…”

Su Xing performed a courtesy and led Shennong Youtian towards the venue of the Luotian Meeting.

Along the way, Shennong Youtian chatted with Su Xing, showing the friendly demeanor of a big brother next door.

“Nephew Luo has made rapid progress in cultivation in recent years! Not yet a hundred years old and already at the Nascent Soul Stage, and what’s more, cultivating the Nine Revolution Golden Core, plus having a cultivation level in the Origin Martial Realm for Body Refinement. Truly extraordinary!”

“Among the tens of thousands of Inner Sect Disciples, you could definitely be considered a leading figure…”

Hearing this, Su Xing felt even more astonished. Shennong Youtian had managed to see through his abilities with just a glance, truly immeasurable.

Thus, Su Xing hurriedly said,

“Oh no, I still need to focus and cultivate more diligently…”

Shennong Youtian nodded, then added,

“Not arrogant nor impatient, our Luo Tian Sect indeed has a promising future. I wonder, aside from cultivation, do you have any supplementary paths…”

By supplementary paths, it referred to Alchemy, Artifact Refining, cultivation of Spirit Plants, Formation, and so on…

After pondering, Su Xing modestly said,

“I have limited talent, aside from cultivation, I have but a superficial understanding of Alchemy and the Soul-Nurturing Way…”

If this were the real world, Su Xing’s skills in Alchemy and nurturing would be unparalleled, after all, in the entire world only he possessed these two methods of cultivation.

But in the Luo Tian Sect, where experts were as common as clouds, Su Xing saying he had a superficial understanding was already quite an overstatement.

However, Su Xing had his reasons for doing so.

As expected, Shennong Youtian’s interest piqued upon hearing Su Xing’s words, and he said,

“Oh? Your supplementary paths seem very similar to mine. Let your uncle test your knowledge…”

Having said that, Shennong Youtian asked Su Xing several common questions about Alchemy and nurturing.

Su Xing answered each one, and although not perfectly, he still showed some insights, mainly due to the significant effort he had put into simulating alchemy over the years.

Shennong Youtian sometimes nodded, sometimes frowned, and after a while, he spoke,

“I didn’t expect nephew Luo, at your young age, to have delved so deep into the schools of Alchemy. Your insight is on par with Alchemists who have practiced for hundreds of years… However, you still need to strengthen your pathway of nurturing.”

After speaking, Shennong Youtian showed an expression as if he could offer Su Xing guidance.

Seizing the opportunity, Su Xing promptly said,

“Uncle, I have indeed encountered a problem recently in the Soul-Nurturing Way… Our Luo Tian Sect possesses such a quantity of Gathering Spirit Flowers, where do they come from, and how are they cultivated?”

Indeed, this was Su Xing’s purpose!

While Su Xing couldn’t bring physical objects from the instance back to the real world, he could acquire memories.

Though Shennong Youtian looked young, he had lived for over a thousand years, and he was the one who had gone the furthest on the path of nurturing within the Luo Tian Sect.

If Su Xing could receive guidance from Shennong Youtian, he might truly learn the secrets of cultivating the Gathering Spirit Flower.

As expected, after a moment of contemplation, Shennong Youtian said,

“You have indeed asked the right person. Regarding the Gathering Spirit Flower, ordinary people would not have the answer! But I have seen the methods for breeding the Gathering Spirit Flower in an ancient text, and although I have not tried it personally, I think it should be feasible…

“The Gathering Spirit Flower is a divine gift, extremely delicate. Ordinary people have to cultivate it for ten years to grow it from seed to maturity, and even during cultivation, moisture and sunlight need utmost attention…”

“As for the cultivation of the Gathering Spirit Flower, it is said that there are male and female varieties. The female Gathering Spirit Flower has yellow spots in its stamen, while the male does not… And to artificially reproduce the Gathering Spirit Flower, one needs to pollinate the male and female plants on the very day they happen to mature…”

Shennong Youtian paused mid-sentence, extended a finger, and pointed towards Su Xing’s glabella.

In an instant, a stream of memory entered Su Xing’s mind, the secret to cultivating the Gathering Spirit Flower.

“Hiss~ Is this how I obtained the method for cultivating the Gathering Spirit Flower?”

For a moment, Su Xing felt as if he was in a dream. He had always struggled due to a lack of Spiritual Energy, and although he had three Gathering Spirit Flowers infusing his Spirit Field Blessed Land with Spiritual Energy, it was ultimately like trying to put out a forest fire with a cup of water.

But if the number of Gathering Spirit Flowers rose to thirty, or even three hundred, and were used exclusively for his cultivation, then he wouldn’t have to worry about insufficient Spiritual Energy at all!

Su Xing had never imagined that the problem of insufficient Spiritual Energy that had plagued him for so long could be resolved so easily.

At that moment, Su Xing realized the importance of the Luotian Meeting Instance to him.

The Luotian Meeting Instance did not allow any physical objects to be taken out, only memories.

For the average professional, it indeed offered no help.

But for Su Xing, it was the perfect opportunity to have zero-distance contact with the Cultivation World!

As long as Su Xing used it properly, he could learn much more about the common knowledge and secrets of the Cultivation World from the Luotian Meeting.

Today, he had been taught the cultivation method for the Gathering Spirit Flower; next time, it might be the recipe for an Elixir or even Divine Skills and Cultivation Techniques!

As long as Su Xing spent the effort to visit the Luotian Meeting Instance multiple times, his knowledge about the Cultivation World would grow exponentially!

“Hiss… This instance is definitely a treasure!”

Su Xing’s mood was extremely agitated at that moment.

Although the Luotian Meeting Instance could only exist for three years, Su Xing could make multiple visits in the simulator to acquire enough knowledge to arm himself.

“Nephew Luo, what are you standing around for? Hurry and keep up,” said Shennong Youtian to Su Xing after pointing.

Su Xing quickly caught up, still eager to ask Shennong Youtian about other Soul-Nurturing methods.

But Shennong Youtian simply shook his head slightly and said, “Nephew, you must understand that biting off more than you can chew is never good…”

With a sigh in his heart, Su Xing knew that it wasn’t realistic to continue milking this Shennong uncle for benefits, but the cultivation method for the Gathering Spirit Flower was definitely an unexpected delight.

Moreover, in his next simulation, Su Xing could completely utilize immersive simulation again to acquire some other trials!

Su Xing quickly arrived at the Luotian Meeting venue with Shennong Youtian.

The Luotian Meeting had just begun at this time, and the venue was teeming with people, a sea of heads that was impossible to count, all disciples and Elders of the Luo Tian Sect.

Those eligible to participate in the Luotian Meeting were at least Inner Sect Disciples.

As for the millions of Luo Tian Sect’s Outer Sect Disciples and disciples from other small sects who came to watch, they could only observe from outside the Sect Gate and couldn’t be in the midst of the Luotian Meeting venue like Su Xing.

At this moment, Su Xing looked around curiously, his eyes filled with wonder. The surrounding disciples were all Cultivators, and since Su Xing had always cultivated alone, this was his first time seeing so many Cultivators.

Su Xing soon met his mentor, an Elder known as Elder Che, who had a long beard and an aged face. Although his strength wasn’t top-tier among the Elders, he was senior by generation and was considered a fellow apprentice brother of Shennong Youtian.

On seeing Su Xing’s return, Elder Che nodded at Su Xing, then casually conversed with Shennong Youtian.

With nothing more to do, Su Xing thought of taking this chance to familiarize himself with the Luo Tian Sect, a pinnacle of the Cultivation World.

Just then, a notification from the simulator sounded in Su Xing’s ear.

[Ding, the current immersive simulation will soon end…]
