    Translator: 549690339

    [The spiritual energy within the copy was abundant, and when you took a deep breath, you felt every cell in your body emitting sounds of joy.]

    [You and Jin Congxue walked toward the thatched cottage in the distance, and after knocking on the door, a child-faced, white-haired elder appeared.]

    [The elder praised you both as people of profound fortune and presented you with the task of farming the Spirit Fields.]

    [You and Jin Congxue each received a plot of Spirit Field to cultivate.]

    [Due to your breakthrough to the fifth layer of Qi Refinement, your internal spiritual energy was more abundant, which made the growth of your Spirit Field particularly good.]

    [In your spare time, you taught Jin Congxue the knowledge of farming and helped him hasten the maturity of the Spirit Grains.]

    [You and Jin Congxue gradually became good friends.]

    [On the day the task was to be submitted, the elder rewarded Jin Congxue with 20 Spirit Stones and 20 catties of Spirit Rice.]

    [After Jin Congxue left the copy, the elder called you aside alone.]

    [The elder took out a talent-assessment stone and asked you to place your hand on it.]

    [You placed your hand on it, and the stone displayed flickering green and red lights.]

    [The elder nodded with a smile, praising your talent as extraordinary and seeing hope in your journey to the Immortal Path.]

    [The elder took out a Jade Slip and a bag of seeds for you, saying that your Wood-type spiritual energy was very suited to cultivating Spirit Fields, and that if you mastered Fire-type cultivation techniques, you had a chance to embark on the path of Alchemy.]

    [You did not accept the elder’s reward but instead wished to become his disciple.]

    [After hearing this, the elder shook his head slightly, saying that you didn’t complete his task and that you had started too late in the Cultivation years, missing the prime age for pursuing the path of Immortal Cultivation.]

    [With no choice left, you took the Jade Slip and the seeds and left the copy.]

    [You stayed in Jinling City for a few days and became close friends with Jin Congxue.]

    [After a few days, you returned to Kyoto Polytechnical and began to study the Jade Slip and the seeds given by the elder.]

    [You channeled Spiritual Energy into the Jade Slip and learned that it contained an Immortal Technique called the “Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique,” which detailed the cultivation methods and wonderful uses of thousands of Spirit Plants, and also included thirteen minor spells for nurturing Spirit Plants.]

    [After months of research, you still couldn’t grasp even the basics, realizing the profundity of the “Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique.”]

    [In the days that followed, you studied this Immortal Technique while cultivating.]

    [A year passed, and your Qi Refining Cultivation broke through to the first layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.]

    [You gained some insight into the “Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique” and learned the method of cultivating Spirit Grains.]

    [One day, while planting in the field, you noticed the sky darken.]

    [You looked up to see that giant beast covering the sky.]

    [You raised your middle finger towards the giant beast, hope still alive in your eyes.]

    [You died!]

    [You activated your innate skill, Refusing to Close Your Eyes in Death...]

    [Ding, this simulation has ended!]

    [You may choose one of the following rewards: Wood-Fire Dual-type Spiritual Root (Talent), third layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm (Cultivation Level), seventh layer of the Bone Forging Realm (Cultivation Level), Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique (Immortal Technique), fifty jin of inferior Spirit Rice (Item), the farming insights from the simulation (Insight)]

    [Wood-Fire Dual-type Spiritual Root]: Green-rated talent, priced at 10,000 energy points.

    [Third layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm]: Cultivation Level, priced at 2,700 energy points.

    [Seventh layer of the Bone Forging Realm]: Cultivation Level, priced at 7,500 energy points.

    [Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique]: Immortal Technique, priced at 1 billion energy points.

    [Fifty jin of inferior Spirit Rice]: Item, priced at 25,000 energy points.

    [Farming insights from the simulation]: Insight, priced at 10,000 energy points.

    After a long silence, Su Xing finally came back to his senses from the simulation and muttered,

    “This simulation... really was full of gains!”

    It could be said that in this simulation, Su Xing took a completely different path than his previous money-making endeavors.

    In the simulator, he became a farming fanatic, beginning to cultivate Spirit Plants crazily, and this revealed a new path for Su Xing to explore.

    What made Su Xing even more astonished was that in this simulation, he actually acquired an Immortal Technique, the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique!

    Although it wasn’t a technique or Divine Skill for increasing strength, this Spiritual Nurturing Technique was extremely precious to Su Xing.

    In the past, Su Xing only had Spiritual Energy and Mana, but no Spells or Divine Skills.

    This Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique was evidently very precious, with its price reaching an astonishing 1 billion energy points.

    “This Spiritual Nurturing Technique is really expensive, but the more expensive it is... the more it shows the power of this technique!” thought Su Xing.

    Moreover, what surprised Su Xing was the appearance of a new kind of reward in the simulation, Insight!

    This meant that Su Xing could spend a large amount of time learning a Spell and then bring that insight out of the simulation, saving him a lot of time in understanding Spells.

    “In the end, I still have to choose it in this simulation!” said Su Xing, with a slight smile on his lips.
