Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

With a single leap, the old Taoist rose and landed steadily on the Spirit Sword, then flew away with the sword control technique.

The entire process was so smooth and stylish!

"Kill a man within ten steps, leave no trace in a thousand li..."

A glint flashed in Su Xing's eyes, and he could not help but feel an urge to slap his thigh excitedly.

Damn, being formidable is one thing,

but the key thing is how cool it is!

This move of slaying the enemy with sword control and then stylishly departing on the wind—what hot-blooded young man in his early twenties could resist it?

"Thank you, senior, for your generous teachings!"

Su Xing sincerely bowed to Ghost Grandma.

Putting other things aside, Ghost Grandma had successively passed to him the Ten Thousand Li Tracking Technique, the Sword Control Technique, and even informed him about choosing the fire cultivation technique, Thousand Flames Art.

Although Ghost Grandma didn't remember, Su Xing had etched this kindness in his heart.

Ghost Grandma nodded slightly, appearing as usual, but commented:

"Sword Control Technique is indeed perfect for you... I say this not only because you are a sword cultivator..."

"But also because you are a body cultivator!"

Su Xing was startled at her words. Body cultivation? What does that have to do with swords?

Ghost Grandma explained:

"Body cultivation refines strength, vital energy, the physical body... and of course, Origin Force!"

"Once you have researched Origin Force to a certain extent, you can nurture the Spirit Sword in your hand with it, continually improving the sword's quality!"

"Even an ordinary sword, as long as the cultivator's cultivation level is sufficient, could possibly be nurtured to the level of an Immortal Artifact!"

"Therefore, choosing a sword as your life-bound Origin instrument is indeed perfect for you!"

Pausing for a moment, Ghost Grandma continued:

"These matters should have been explained by your mentor Niu Ruolie, but I'm sure that unreliable guy has never mentioned them to you..."

"If you have time in the future, you should learn some insights into nurturing Origin instruments from your mentor..."

After listening, Su Xing nodded seriously, for Niu Ruolie had indeed never mentioned this to him.

Ghost Grandma then faded away, leaving only Su Xing behind.

There were still over ten hours left until the end of the immersive simulation.

Su Xing certainly wouldn't waste this valuable time.

He entered the Great Wisdom State and began to memorize the third part of the Three Talents Sword Technique, the Heavenly Sword chapter.

Time flowed slowly, and after the immersive simulation ended, Su Xing's consciousness returned to the real world.

Back in the real world, Su Xing rubbed his temples feeling somewhat tired.

He had barely grasped the basics of Earth Sword, and for him, the Heavenly Sword was like a book from Heaven. Forcing himself to memorize it was indeed difficult.

"Nevertheless... being able to comprehend the Divine Skill of Sword Control this time is truly a huge gain!"

The corners of Su Xing's mouth couldn't help but curve upward.

Su Xing genuinely admired sword cultivators.

Who wouldn't want to be a free-floating Sword Immortal?

"Tsk tsk, this Sword Control Technique has immense potential; I probably won't have to worry about any deficiencies in my escape techniques for a long while... Of course, I'll need to spend time in training for it to work!"

Su Xing sighed, his mind filled with some doubts.

"Just how strong is Ghost Grandma's power?"

"Niu Ruolie, as the Great Elder, is at least comparable to a Body Integration Realm cultivator... and since Ghost Grandma refers to Niu Ruolie without any respect, she must be his peer, if not of a higher seniority!"

"Furthermore, Ghost Grandma transmitted Divine Skills to me by memory infusion without suffering much backlash..."

"Such cultivation must be above Great Elder Niu Ruolie!"

"Could it be... Ghost Grandma is a Mahayana Level cultivator?!"

Su Xing had some conjectures in his mind.

This Luo Tian Meeting Instance was truly of high level!

Although one couldn't bring out treasures, there was also no risk to one's life.

For Su Xing, it was definitely a splendid place to gain experience!

"Now that I've memorized the Sword Control Technique, it's time to get back to business..."

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

[Since coming out of the Luo Tian Meeting Instance, you have continued to diligently cultivate and tend to the Spirit Field every day.]

[Two months have quickly passed, and you have harvested another five million jin of Spirit Rice.]

[Meanwhile, Jin Congxue has brought you news that the Great Xia Military has agreed to the trade with the Tarot Society.]

[Every year, the Tarot Society will provide the Great Xia Military with one million jin of Spirit Rice.]

[In return, the Great Xia Military will grant the Tarot Society mining rights to two Synthetic Metal Ore Instances, with the main output being tier-one synthetic metals.]

[Knowing this news, you discuss with Jin Congxue at the first opportunity, wishing to provide the Great Xia Military with ten million jin of Spirit Rice per year in exchange for more mining rights to Synthetic Metal Ore Instances.]

[However, Jin Congxue opposes your opinion, explaining to you in detail the pros and cons.]

[In short, the impact of Spirit Rice is tremendous, and if one or two million jin flow into the Great Xia Military, it might not cause much disturbance.]

[It can only be distributed to university students annually, but if ten million jin are provided, the news will inevitably leak, and even Lu Yuanwu wouldn't be able to suppress it.]

[After all, Jin Congxue's excuse to the Great Xia Military is that she accidentally discovered an instance that could produce Spirit Rice, hoping to exchange the annual yield of Spirit Rice for the mining rights of Ore Instances.]

[Based on this premise, merely one million jin of Spirit Rice might not tempt the Great Xia Military, but ten million jin would undoubtedly make them covet ownership of that instance.]

[After hearing Jin Congxue's words, you ponder deeply and come up with a number after discussing with her.]

[You could offer up to two million jin of Spirit Rice annually to the Great Xia Military in Jin Congxue's name.]

[Any more than that, and Jin Congxue's status may not hold up, potentially attracting covetous intentions from others.]
