I have a cultivation simulator

Chapter 36 Our Zhang Family

"Purple talent?"

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up.

Talents are categorized into white, green, purple, gold, and rainbow.

During the first simulation, Zhou Qing obtained the white talent "Danpox Buster".

Although this talent is only white, it is of great use to Zhou Qing.

With his low-grade spiritual root aptitude, Zhou Qing's absorption of spiritual energy was extremely slow. However, in the simulation, by consuming pills at a high frequency without ignoring the accumulation of toxicity, Zhou Qing's cultivation speed almost reached the level of a mid-grade spiritual root.

Even if other cultivators had more spirit stones, they wouldn't dare to do this, otherwise it could lead to an excessive accumulation of poison that could invade their lungs and cause a death worse than death.

If white talents are like this, what about purple talents?

Zhou Qing stared intently at the constantly changing illusory characters.

You have awakened the purple talent: Unyielding Will.

"An indomitable will?"

Zhou Qing paused for a moment, then continued reading.

Unyielding Will: Your will will be unwavering.

"this one?"

Zhou Qing blinked.

"wrong."

Zhou Qing pondered for a while and realized where this talent was useful.

The so-called willpower is basically not manifested during the Qi Refining stage.

Qi Refining stage cultivators are essentially no different from ordinary people; when they fight each other, they rely on magic power, magical artifacts, and so on.

However, as one progresses through the Foundation Establishment stage and even the Core Formation stage, the importance of willpower becomes increasingly significant.

The simplest point is possession.

The stronger a cultivator's will, the more difficult it is for them to be possessed.

If Zhou Qing had the innate indomitable will to support him in the second simulation, there would be no need for him to give up the resistance. Instead, he should focus on transforming his divine consciousness and trying to enter the Foundation Establishment stage as much as possible.

Zhou Qing made that choice because he was certain he couldn't resist the Blood Sea True Man's possession. Knowing he was doomed, he made the choice that was most beneficial to himself.

Even if I die, I must die after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, so that in reality, my starting point in the next simulation will be even higher.

However, with an indomitable will, Zhou Qing had another choice.

That is to withstand the possession of Blood Sea True Man.

Even though Xuehai Zhenren was a Core Formation stage cultivator, he was ultimately reduced to a mere wisp of his soul, far inferior to his prime.

If Zhou Qing can withstand the Blood Sea True Man, he has a good chance of turning the tables and refining the Blood Sea True Man's wisp of soul.

At that time, this once-powerful Core Formation cultivator will be completely enslaved by him.

Resisting possession is just one aspect of having a strong will.

In addition to these, there are many other benefits.

For example, how to defend against soul attacks or spiritual attacks?

With the spiritual power of Foundation Establishment cultivators greatly enhanced, their attack methods are no longer limited to the material realm.

Ethereal attacks on the soul and consciousness have also begun to be involved.

Once one reaches the Core Formation stage, soul attacks and spiritual attacks become increasingly common.

"This is a late-game talent."

Zhou Qing drew a conclusion.

As one's strength increases and one's realm advances, the usefulness of this talent will become increasingly apparent.

"It is said that a Core Formation cultivator needs to undergo the legendary Tribulation of Inner Demons to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. I wonder if this talent can be effective in resisting the Tribulation of Inner Demons..."

Zhou Qing thought to himself.

Of course, at his level, he only had a superficial understanding of the Heart Demon Tribulation, which was a secret truly belonging to the level of a Core Formation stage cultivator.

"With this talent, I'll have more confidence when facing that Blood Sea True Man in the next simulation."

A smile appeared on Zhou Qing's face.

He was originally considering how to create a real-life Blood Sea in the third simulation.

After all, the opponent was a Core Formation cultivator. Even if only a wisp of his soul remained, he might still have some means to perish together with the enemy.

Now that he has this talent, Zhou Qing is much more confident.

......

After inheriting the Foundation Establishment stage cultivation realm, Zhou Qing did not leave the cave.

Instead, they continued to consolidate their position in seclusion.

After all, at the very end of the second simulation, Zhou Qing almost instantly ended the simulation the moment he stepped into the Foundation Establishment stage.

It did not solidify the Foundation Establishment stage realm.

Of course, the so-called consolidation is just about becoming more familiar with it.

Having entered the Foundation Establishment stage using the "Shan Hai Jue" technique, Zhou Qing's magical power and divine sense were both incredibly stable.

Half a day later, Zhou Qing began to try cultivating.

"The spiritual energy environment of this mid-grade first-level cave dwelling is still not good enough..."

Zhou Qing only circulated the "Mountain and Sea Technique" for a short while before giving up the idea of ​​cultivating in reality.

There is absolutely no improvement whatsoever.

In reality, Zhou Qing was unwilling to take the pills, lest it affect the subsequent simulations.

"Second-tier alchemy techniques..."

Zhou Qing sat cross-legged, took out his alchemy furnace, and began to try refining pills.

In the final simulation, Zhou Qing's alchemy skills had reached the pinnacle of the superior grade.

In addition, he spent a lot of money to acquire many alchemical techniques, and although he did not understand them at the time, he memorized them all.

Now that he has entered the Foundation Establishment stage, his divine sense has undergone a significant transformation and improvement, and the essence of his soul has also undergone a leap. He has gained a new understanding of the original alchemy techniques.

This highlights the importance of one's own level of understanding and self-cultivation.

Regardless of the skill, the cultivator's realm is fundamental.

In the world of cultivation, there may exist some genius alchemists who, despite being at the Qi Refining stage, possess second-tier alchemy skills.

But they are ultimately a minority.

It is the norm for someone to reach the second level of alchemy skills while still in the Foundation Establishment stage.

In fact, the higher one's level of cultivation, the easier it is to gain a commanding perspective.

If a Core Formation stage cultivator is willing to spend time and energy to comprehend a certain skill, they will inevitably make rapid progress, surpassing any so-called genius, and will be able to comprehend the skill to the peak of the superior grade or even the second grade in a short period of time.

"My alchemy skills should be close to reaching the second level."

Zhou Qing looked thoughtful. Under the control of his Foundation Establishment stage divine sense, his alchemy skills had already improved significantly, and becoming a second-tier alchemist was merely a gradual process.

......

Zhou Qing collected his thoughts and looked again at the illusory characters below his line of sight.

Name: Zhou Qing

Race: Human

[Strength: Foundation Establishment Level 1]

[Skill Level: Superior Alchemist]

Age: 16

[Talent: Eliminator of Erysipelas, Unyielding Will]

Number of simulations: 0

Zhou Qing's gaze fell on the column for "Number of Simulations".

A virtual countdown appeared.

【09：28：12：14：25】

"A nine-month, twenty-eight-day cooldown period?"

Zhou Qing touched his chin.

In a mid-grade first-level cave dwelling with spiritual energy, the cooldown time for each simulation is approximately ten months.

If it is a first-grade high-level cave dwelling with high spiritual energy environment, the simulated cooling time will be shortened to more than eight months.

This was also the result of Zhou Qing's verification after the first simulation.

"Once everything is settled, I'll go to Azure Moon Immortal City and rent a second-tier spiritual vein cave dwelling to live there permanently."

Zhou Qing thought to herself silently.

In a second-tier cave dwelling spiritual vein environment, the cooldown time for simulation attempts will be further shortened.

......

Zhou Qing stayed in the cave for several days, thoroughly familiarizing himself with the strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, before finally getting up and coming out.

"Young Master!"

Da Chun quickly caught up and followed behind Zhou Qing.

"Where are we going?"

Da Chun asked curiously.

"Where to?"

Zhou Qing stopped, glanced at Da Chun, and calmly said, "Let's go home!"
