Chapter 11: Entering the Qingyun Spirit Field Instance, Mysterious Elder!

    Translator: 549690339

    [So, you made up your mind to follow Jin Congxue because you knew that by following her, you might find the entrance to the temporary instance.]

    [Jin Congxue became wary of you, but after confirming that your strength posed no threat to her, she stopped paying attention.]

    [You followed her all the way and saw that she was merely planning to return to Jinling City.]

    [Jin Congxue chose a small path to return to the city, and you had a hunch that she might have discovered the entrance to the instance on this very path.]

    [With a turn, Jin Congxue disappeared from sight, and you were startled, thinking she had entered the instance.]

    [At that moment, a cold voice sounded from behind you: “Who are you? What do you want, following me like this?”]

    [Faced with the slightly annoyed beauty, you could only stiffen your resolve and say that you were very fond of Buddhism and had heard that Jin Congxue was quite knowledgeable about it, so you wanted to ask for her guidance.]

    [Jin Congxue expressed disbelief and asked you some basic questions about Buddhism.]

    [Luckily, you had learned some Buddhist teachings in advance, and despite your stuttering answers, you managed to convince her somewhat.]

    [Jin Congxue asked if you had any questions for her, and you asked about the “Buddhist Verse Ten Difficulties” you had seen online, which she couldn’t answer.]

    [Jin Congxue stated she would reply in a few days, and you took the chance to say that you wanted to return to the city with her.]

    [Jin Congxue reluctantly agreed, and you walked together on the small path outside the city.]

    [Before long, you noticed a strange glow suddenly emanating from a willow tree not far away.]

    [Jin Congxue was both shocked and delighted, expressing that this must be a temporary instance, and she wanted to explore it.]

    [You quickly expressed your desire to explore as well, but Jin Congxue said your strength was too low, and she couldn’t protect you.]

    [You insisted on going in, and she assumed you were courting death, but she didn’t refuse.]

    [You entered the “Green Cloud Spirit Field” instance.]

    Su Xing was elated to see this; he had succeeded!

    The Green Cloud Spirit Field was evidently a cultivation-oriented instance, and while Su Xing didn’t yet know the secrets it contained, it was definitely of great use to him.

    Excited, Su Xing continued to simulate the scenario below.

    [You arrive at an unfamiliar environment, a mountaintop with clear waters and lush greenery, and a thatched cottage in the distance.]

    With Su Xing’s help, the growth of the Spirit Grains in Jin Congxue’s Spirit Field had improved!

    Given that the growth of Su Xing’s Spirit Grains far surpassed that of Jin Congxue’s, what reward would he get?

    Su Xing was somewhat expectant.

    [After giving Jin Congxue her reward, the elder waved his hand, and she was teleported out of the copy.]

    [The elder then took out a transparent stone and asked you to place your hand on it.]

    [You laid your hand on it, and soon a faint five-colored light flashed across the stone.]

    [The elder sighed faintly, saying you had a Mixed Spirit Root. While you possessed talent for cultivation, the prospect of eternal life was hopeless.]

    Su Xing was not surprised by this, as after all, the talent of his Spirit Root was of white quality, so having a Mixed Spirit Root was quite normal.]

    [The elder hesitated for a while, but eventually took out a small bag of Spirit Stones and a large bag of Spirit Rice for you, containing 30 Spirit Stones and about 30 jin of Spirit Rice.]

    [The elder waved his hand, expelling you from the copy.]

    [After leaving the copy, you encountered Jin Congxue, who asked what reward you had received.]

    [You took out a portion of the Spirit Stones and Spirit Rice, indicating that your reward was the same as hers, just in a greater quantity.]

    [Jin Congxue nodded slightly and did not trouble you.]

    [You stayed in Jinling City for a few more days, having a harmonious time with Jin Congxue, then returned to Kyoto Polytechnic.]

    [Back at Kyoto Polytechnic, you continued selling equipment as before, setting up the Tarot Society.]

    [Your fortune was considerable. Wang Qingxuan found you, you took the hint, and tried out new positions you had never attempted before.]

    [Afterward, Wang Qingxuan indeed disappeared, and you continued to run your business.]

    [You did not use the Spirit Stones obtained from the copy, but every few days, you would cook a bowl of Spirit Rice to satisfy your cravings.]

    [The Spirit Rice was delicious and satisfying; eating one bowl would mean you wouldn’t need to eat for three days, and it also nourished your body.]

    [A year passed, and you found that your Body Refinement Cultivation Level had unconsciously made a breakthrough to the Bone Forging Realm!]

    [You understood in your heart that this was probably due to the combination of the Spirit Rice and regular fitness routines.]

    [By the fifth year, you were expelled from school, which you had anticipated, and you continued with your old trade of selling second-hand equipment.]

    [During these five years, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level steadily improved, and you became a cultivator of the fifth layer of the Bone Forging Realm.]
