Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

In Su Xing's mind, the information about the Wind-Calming Pearl surfaced.

The Wind-Calming Pearl is a special semi-step Acquired Treasure that belongs to the energy-storing type of Spiritual Treasure.

It needs to be placed where the Dao of the Five Elements, wind, is abundant to continuously absorb the surrounding Dao Essence, to serve the purpose of storing energy.

And once fully charged, the Wind-Calming Pearl can unleash its full effect, acting as a protector for cultivators!

Even amidst the terrifying wind calamity, it could protect the cultivator's Divine Soul from perishing, preventing the cultivator from dying due to a failed Tribulation Crossing.

"Not a few cultivators at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, before crossing the wind calamity... even if it costs them their entire fortune, they still need to get a Wind-Calming Pearl!"

"This also makes the price of the Wind-Calming Pearl remain high... Although it's only a semi-step Acquired Spiritual Treasure, its price is even higher than some Acquired Treasures!"

Su Xing blinked, but a mere Wind-Calming Pearl was, for Su Xing, not much of an issue.

"The real difficulty is to unify the Five Elements Dao before the True Immortal Realm! And then to overcome the wind calamity in one fell swoop!"

Su Xing had delved into the Dao of the Five Elements a long time ago.

The Cultivation Technique and secret technique left by the Five Elements True Master, the Five Elements Generative Decree, is an exceptionally remarkable technique of the Five Elements.

Even with Su Xing's current cultivation level, he could still glean some inspiration from this cultivation technique and secret technique.

Su Xing came back from his plans for the future, only to start frowning again soon after.

Looking at the tens of thousands of Origin Energy Source points on the Simulation Panel, Su Xing lamented,

"Poor! In the end, it's all because I'm poor!"

Su Xing estimated that to carry out his cultivation level from the True Immortal Realm, the Origin Energy Source needed would start at least at three hundred thousand!

And that was a conservative estimate!

However, Su Xing's current Origin Energy Source was still quite a bit short of three hundred thousand...

"Based on my current income, within the Great Xia Country, I can bring in a maximum of fifty to almost sixty thousand points of Origin Energy Source each week."

"Taking into account the additional energy from the other six countries and the Twelve Domains... that's about ninety thousand a week."

"Overall, if I don't take other measures, the entire Blue Star brings me... merely a meager one hundred and fifty thousand points of Origin Energy Source each week."

One hundred and fifty thousand points of Origin Energy Source surely wasn't a small number!

But for Su Xing, who was about to reach the True Immortal Realm, it was still too little...

Su Xing estimated that after reaching the True Immortal Realm, even if he only broke through two levels of cultivation with each simulation, it would require a base of six hundred thousand Origin Energy Source!

This didn't even include the points needed for Su Xing's Immersive Simulation, to exchange for talent... as well as the points for various treasures and Divine Skills.

"Blue Star, in terms of its current strength, can't even compete with a Minor Thousand Worlds... Even if an ordinary world pooled all of its resources and manpower, it would probably not accumulate a million Origin Energy Source in a year."

"Yet, the upper limit of Blue Star is far from this... naturally because it was once part of the Luo Tian Realm, a former Great Thousand Worlds... hence it possesses such an abundance of resources!"

After pausing, Su Xing continued to think:

"However, one hundred and fifty thousand Origin Energy Source per week is still not enough!"

"With my current strength... I need to trade with the official authorities of the entire sixth nation as soon as possible, which will definitely bring in more resources!"

"But distant water won't quench immediate thirst... Right now, I need to think about how to gather enough energy to advance to the True Immortal Realm!"

Su Xing pondered deeply and finally heaved a sigh,

"The only thing to do now is to hurry Lu Yuanwu... and see if I can get more Alien Metal ores from him!"

Su Xing had plenty of cards up his sleeve, cards that the Great Xia Military would probably be interested in.

As long as he offered a portion, it would be easy to get his hands on a large quantity of Alien Metal and other resources.

Thinking this, Su Xing began to disguise himself and prepared to trade with Lu Yuanwu.

...

Moments later, Su Xing appeared at the agreed location, Lu Yuanwu had already been waiting for a long time.

"Elder! This is this week's collection of Alien Metal ores!"

Lu Yuanwu passed a Storage Ring with respectful demeanor, paused for a moment, and then earnestly requested,

"Elder, in half a month... I, along with ten other Martial Emperors, will be preparing to advance to Legendary Level..."

"At that time... could I trouble you to act as our protector?"

Lu Yuanwu's tone was somewhat humble.

After listening, Su Xing gestured dismissively and said,

"There's no need for such formality between us... helping you advance to Legendary is part of the deal, isn't it?"

After Su Xing spoke, Lu Yuanwu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they were strong enough, without Su Xing's assurance, these Martial Emperors really dared not break through to Legendary...

Su Xing exchanged the Alien Metal in the Storage Ring, adding another twenty thousand Origin Energy Source points.

However, this amount of Origin Energy Source was already a bit insufficient!

So Su Xing was straightforward and said to Lu Yuanwu,

"After I help you break through to Legendary Level, I have some important matters to attend to... I may have to stop trading for a while."

Upon hearing Su Xing's words, Lu Yuanwu quickly asked,

"Elder, where are you going? How long will you need?"

Lu Yuanwu's directness came through, and after speaking, he realized that it might be inappropriate, so he added another sentence,

"If it's... convenient for you to say?"

Su Xing's expression eased a bit, thought for a moment, and said,

"What I'm going to do cannot be divulged... but it will take a short time of three months, or as long as half a year!"

"The trading will be paused during this period... so I would like to ask you, could we complete our trades all at once in advance?"

After speaking, Su Xing took out another Storage Ring, which contained two thousand bottles of Origin Martial Pills.

One bottle of Origin Martial Pill holds ten, that is, twenty thousand pills, which was needed for the trades of the next two months.

In addition, Su Xing took out another Storage Ring, filled with a large amount of fifth-tier Talismans!
