Chapter 59: Chapter 59: The Spirit Chicken and the Peak-Level Alchemy

    Translator: 549690339

    The Beast Speech talent at level ten vastly exceeded Su Xing’s expectations in this simulation.

    Foremost was the ability to communicate with Gu Insects during a crisis, which allowed Su Xing to turn danger into safety.

    Next was the ability to communicate with Spirit Chickens, which also enabled Su Xing to breed them more effectively, thereby improving the quality of the eggs and chicken soup.

    Even more, Su Xing could use this ability to cultivate more useful spiritual animals in the future.

    Such a talent was hard to come by; if missed this time, who knows when it would be available again.

    As for cultivation level, the advancement Su Xing experienced in this simulation was limited; it wasn’t indispensable.

    After Su Xing made his choice, the system’s notification sounded in his ear.

    [Ding, you have chosen to take out the complete Changchun Technique, which cost 500,000 points of energy, leaving a balance of 193,000 points.]

    [Ding, you have chosen to take out the level ten blue talent Beast Speech, which cost 100,000 points of energy, leaving a balance of 93,000 points.]

    At the same time, a complete ancient text appeared in Su Xing’s hands, which was the complete Changchun Technique.

    Su Xing sighed somewhat,

    “The first half of the technique was worth a mere 3,000 points of energy, yet the technique that could cultivate to the Return to Void Realm was valued at an astonishing 500,000 points.”

    Perhaps, in the simulator’s eyes, a cultivation technique that could only cultivate to the Golden Core Stage wasn’t much, after all, it would only produce a Golden Core Stage cultivator at best.

    But cultivating to the Return to Void Realm was an entirely different matter.

    Of course, Su Xing guessed that a large part of this 500,000 points of energy might also be because the Changchun Technique was a component of a much more powerful cultivation technique, which is why it held such value.

    Su Xing gave the Changchun Technique a careful read and indeed found the cultivation mantra for after the Nascent Soul Stage in the latter half.

    Besides the cultivation mantra, Su Xing also discovered some annotations on cultivation experiences left by previous cultivators of the Changchun Sect.

    Su Xing treasured them like valuable treasures; these cultivation experiences were immensely useful to him.

    With a swift motion, killing, bleeding, plucking... he went through the whole process smoothly.

    As Su Xing sipped on the Spirit Chicken soup, he said to the other chickens,

    “You are all equal! There’s no such thing as Brother Chicken or not. Whoever dares to hinder the evolution of the other chickens is my enemy!”

    Seeing that the strongest Spirit Chicken among them couldn’t make even the smallest ripple in Su Xing’s hands, and at most could only make Su Xing burp contentedly, they were immediately terrified and trembled all over.

    “Ah! There’s only one true Brother Chicken in this world, and that’s our great master! I, Little Blackie, swear to protect Brother Chicken with my life from now on!”

    Watching the Spirit Chickens swear their loyalty, another black line rose on Su Xing’s forehead.

    Great, now I’m Brother Chicken?

    Su Xing curled his lips, but the breeding speed of his Spirit Chickens had not been slow over these past few months.

    The second generation of Spirit Chickens had already started to develop slowly, providing Su Xing with ample Spirit Chicken eggs every day, sometimes dozens, sometimes as many as fifty or sixty.

    With an abundance of Spirit Chicken eggs, Su Xing couldn’t even finish them all, and their effects were even better than Spirit Rice, continuously nourishing his physical body, while all he had to give in return was some Spirit Rice.

    In the following week, Su Xing, as always, refined three hundred Nourishing Face Pills, and besides that, struck by inspiration, he also refined some lower-grade Healing Pills and Essence-Nourishing Pills for emergency use.

    Without sufficient aged Spiritual Medicines, Su Xing was completely unable to refine Organ Refining Pills, and even the effectiveness of the Healing Pills and Essence-Nourishing Pills was only one tenth of the normal ones.

    But even so, Essence-Nourishing Pills were precious materials that could directly enhance a Cultivator’s Spiritual Power and even a professional’s mental attributes.

    However, after some experimentation, Su Xing found that the lower-grade Essence-Nourishing Pills’ effects would completely vanish after consuming dozens of them, providing only limited improvement, and couldn’t continually strengthen a Cultivator’s Spiritual Energy like the real Essence-Nourishing Pills.

    But these lower-grade Pills were advantageous because the materials were cheap and the methods were simple, allowing Su Xing to refine hundreds of them in a day.

    After developing the lower-grade Essence-Nourishing Pills, Su Xing was surprised to find that the skill level for refining Essence-Nourishing Pills in his skill bar had risen from advanced to peak level.

    This was a pleasant surprise for Su Xing, as among the Alchemy skills he mastered, there were now two types of Elixirs that had reached peak level.

    They were the Nourishing Face Pill and the Essence-Nourishing Pill.

    Without exception, Su Xing had modified both types of Elixirs and developed new versions of them.

    “Could it be that, to raise an Alchemy skill to peak level, besides mastering the original essentials of Alchemy, one also needs their own understanding and even personal improvements?”
