[But you also discovered that even with A Da''s alchemy skill, he could only refine about three hundred Essence-Nourishing Pills in a week. This quantity was still too small, and the quality was far inferior to your own.]


    [For the next half month, you stayed in the Spirit Field Cave, continuing to refine elixirs.]


    [Half a monthter, you went to meet Luo Shuying as promised, and under her guidance, you joined the Descending Sect.]


    In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly.


    "Indeed, it was time to start trading with the Great Xia Military... For now, at least Lu Yuanwu was trustworthy!"


    "And with my growing power, there were almost no beings on Blue Star that could threaten me..."


    Having entered the Body Integration Realm andprehended the Heavenly Sword, Su Xing''s currentbat strength was roughly equivalent to that of ate-stage Great Emperor.


    Among the entire Human Race, the only person who could possibly match Su Xing inbat was the elderly peak Great Emperor guarding Demon-Subduing Pass.


    But that person couldn''t leave Demon-Subduing Pass.


    And the only opponent in the Descending Sect on Blue Star who could be a match for Su Xing was that damned dragon.


    But with Su Xing''s rapidly increasing power, those two would soon be left behind.


    Therefore, the only thing Su Xing needed to be wary of was enemiesing from beyond Blue Star.


    The Red Moon on the ughter Battlefield... and the Descending Sect gods in the Three Thousand Worlds!


    "Although the Red Moon hasn''t been resurrected yet, it''s still a deity. I don''t know what tricks it might have... So, it''s best to stay cautious."


    "Then there''s the damned dragon; he could contact powerful beings with ''Blood'' codenames from the Three Thousand Worlds at any time. I need to be extremely careful!"


    After pausing, Su Xing continued,


    "But if I just trade with trusted members of the military, slowly releasing some inconspicuous items to exchange forrge amounts of simted energy to further increase my strength, that''s the right way to go!"


    "Like boiling frogs in warm water... Once I''ve umted enough strength and energy... Even if I''m eventually discovered, I can simply crush them to death!"


    Su Xing''s lips curved into a slight smile.


    This n could be summed up in one phrase: build high walls, umte energy widely, and bide time to proim supremacy...


    "However, the spies and undercover agents from the Descending Sect within the Great Xia Military are indeed a hidden danger and need to be cleaned out..."


    Su Xing muttered to himself.


    "As for their list of informants... Now that I''ve be a faction leader within the Descending Sect, wouldn''t it be easy to obtain a small list?"


    The above was the risk of trading with the military.


    But if he strengthened his dealings, the benefits to Su Xing would be enormous!


    Ten Essence-Nourishing Pills could be exchanged for one ton of third-tier alien metal, valued at 2 million simted energy points!


    Ten thousand pills would equal 1,000 tons of third-tier alien metal, worth 20 billion energy points!


    Su Xing only needed to produce 100,000 Essence-Nourishing Pills to get 200 billion energy points, which would be more than enough to cultivate to the Mahayana Realm!


    "The problem is, I need over a year to refine 100,000 Essence-Nourishing Pills... and I don''t have that many spiritual herbs right now..."


    Su Xing frowned slightly. Relying solely on his own alchemy skills was clearly inappropriate and too time-consuming.


    "But what if... I use one simtion attempt to bring out both Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills from the simtion?"


    Su Xing couldn''t help but feel a sense of satisfaction.


    For the simtor, the cost of Essence-Nourishing Pills would definitely not be as high as 200,000 energy points per pill.


    Su Xing estimated that each pill would cost only around 10,000 energy points.


    He could easily bring out tens of thousands of Essence-Nourishing Pills at once, then sell them to Lu Yuanwu for alien metal and make a huge profit from the difference!


    "With my current strength, as long as I''m cautious... I canplete such a transaction without any risk!"


    "This is what you call low risk, high reward!"


    With these thoughts, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simtion panel.


    This time, he nned to root out the Descending Sect spies embedded in the Great Xia Military!

    [Over the next year, your stature within the Descending Sect continued to rise, attracting arge number of fervent followers.]


    [With the help of Luo Shuying, you managed to refine over 100,000 elixirs within a year.]


    [In the second year, you set off for the Luotian Meeting Instance.]


    In the real world, Su Xing chanted to himself,


    "Use immersive..."


    [You sessfully used immersive... Remaining energy: 790 million points.]


    ...


    The immersive simtion ended quickly. As usual, Su Xing learned the Dao of Puppets from the Ghost Grandma during the simtion.


    "Not bad... Every lesson from Ghost Grandma deepens my understanding of the Dao of Puppets. With the added boost from my Great Wisdom talent, a single lesson is worth several months of studying the Dao of Puppets..."


    Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, his gaze fixed on the simtion panel.


    [Upon leaving the Luotian Meeting Instance, you returned to the Descending Sect.]


    [You continued to refine elixirs as usual, and over another year, you refined more than 100,000 elixirs.]


    [Meanwhile, the herbal seeds you nted earlier gradually matured into fully grown herbs, which you used to refine several tens of thousands of elixirs with another batch of spiritual herbs.]


    [At this moment, you had more than 230,000 elixirs in your possession!]


    [In the third year, you disguised yourself, concealed your aura, and masked your heavenly secrets to meet with Lu Yuanwu.]


    [You handed over 180,000 elixirs to Lu Yuanwu, keeping the remaining 50,000 Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills for yourself.]


    [In the fourth year, you devoted time to enhancing your cultivation level and diligently studied the Heavenly Sword Technique!]


    [Within a year, you consumed millions of drops of low-grade spiritual liquid, and along with the cultivation increase from the three years of operation by the minor spirit gathering array, you sessfully broke through to the secondyer of the Body Integration Realm!]


    [However, elevating the Heavenly Sword Technique to the Minor Achievement level proved to be quite challenging. Even for you, achieving the Great Achievement level was likely to take decades; for an ordinary sword cultivator, it would take several centuries.]


    [Thus, you decided to dual-focus on practicing the Heavenly Sword Technique, hoping for the asional epiphany, while also working hard to improve your cultivation level.]
