While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move

"Next, we can formally attempt to step into the Body Integration Realm!"

Su Xing had a plan for the upcoming simulation.

Immediately, Su Xing sensed and digested another set of memories within his body.

These were the techniques related to the Dao of Puppets that Su Xing had learned during the simulation.

It included crafting device puppets and human puppets, controlling... puppet imprints, Divine Soul Marks, and many other aspects...

This knowledge was originally in Su Xing's mind, taught to him by the Ghost Grandma.

But due to the lack of practical experience, Su Xing previously couldn't actually forge puppets.

But now, Su Xing even had a feeling.

He could handcraft a few device puppets!

"Each device puppet is an alchemy tool, which means higher efficiency in obtaining Alien Metals... it also means a large amount of energy!"

Su Xing muttered.

Undoubtedly, for Su Xing right now, the most cost-effective way to acquire simulated energy was not by refining elixirs.

It was by crafting alchemy puppets!

"With my current puppet crafting skills, I could craft two alchemy puppets in a week..."

"And two puppets could bring me about five thousand Fasting Pills in a month..."

"Crafting eight or nine puppets in a month could produce over forty thousand Fasting Pills!"

"In just one or two months, the efficiency of puppet-alchemy will surpass my own! And as time goes on, the cost-effectiveness of the puppets will be even higher!"

Su Xing nodded in satisfaction.

This was equivalent to a factory where initially, goods were produced manually.

But later, the factory transformed; instead of producing goods, it began producing machines that could make goods.

Though the initial phase would affect the efficiency of goods production.

But in the later phase, when there were enough machines, they would far surpass the speed of human labor!

After all, no matter how fast Su Xing was at alchemy, he was just one person with limited manpower.

But Su Xing could produce nearly infinite puppets.

Su Xing decided to act immediately, and he began trying to produce puppets in the Spirit Field Cave.

"Hmm, luckily, I saved some Third-Rank and Fourth-Rank Special Metals earlier... enough for me to forge device puppets!"

After saying this, Su Xing took out the Alien Metals, activated the Li Fire Technique, and began melting the humanoid puppets.

Su Xing didn't have high demands for the puppets; it didn't matter if they looked ugly, as long as they could refine elixirs to normal standards.

In just two days, Su Xing had forged two iron puppets, each about a meter tall and somewhat human-like in appearance.

Next, crafting the puppet core and imprint took Su Xing another day and a half.

Merging the puppet imprint and core within, he arranged a wooden and fire attribute formation, and inscribed the talismans.

Finally, Su Xing engraved his Divine Soul Mark in the puppet core.

"Good, it's almost done... just one last step!"

Su Xing took a deep breath, and placed two low-grade Spirit Stones inside each puppet.

One low-grade Spirit Stone would be enough for the puppet to continuously refine pills for three days.

"Hmm, I could also set up a formation to reduce the puppet's spiritual power consumption..."

Su Xing stroked his chin thoughtfully, then spent half a day inscribing a spirit-saving formation inside the puppets.

Finally, the two puppets stood before Su Xing, taking just five days to complete.

Upon activating the puppets, Su Xing gave them commands.

"You... are alchemy puppets, let's name you Dan One and Dan Two..."

"Now, follow Ada and them to learn and mimic the process of refining Fasting Pills!"

Su Xing gave the orders, and soon the two puppets followed them.

Although these lower-level device puppets didn't have deep learning capabilities, they could mimic.

In just two days, these two device puppets mastered the process of refining Fasting Pills.

Though their initial efficiency in refining Fasting Pills wasn't high, it would increase as they continuously mimicked the process!

Su Xing nodded in satisfaction and muttered:

"Good, in a week, I can produce two device puppets; if I speed it up... maybe even three!"

That week, Su Xing did not refine any elixirs himself.

However, the previous eight puppets, including Ada and Xiaomei, still provided Su Xing with thousands of Fasting Pills.

These humanoid puppets had higher value and were not weak in combat.

Currently, Su Xing had them temporarily handling alchemy work, but in the future, they could be used for combat, espionage, and other advanced tasks.

On the day Su Xing met with Jin Congxue...

Su Xing disguised himself and went to the villa, having a meal with Jin Congxue, and after their transaction, he returned to the Spirit Field Cave.

This week's goods still brought about 150 million simulated energy.

Thus, Su Xing's simulated energy reached 2,418,430,000 points.

"Over two billion simulated energy, while it seems like a lot... the cultivation for the Body Integration Realm will require even more energy afterward!"

"I must accumulate more simulated energy quickly, or else the speed of my cultivation breakthroughs will slow down..."

Su Xing muttered.

On December 23, 2024, in the New Era, Su Xing prepared for a new round of simulation.

"Start the simulation!"

[Ding! This simulation consumed 6,700 points of energy, remaining energy: 2,418,430,000 points, number of simulations left: unlimited.]

[Simulation begins!]

[Drawing Purple Talent costs 100,000 points of energy, drawing Golden Legendary Talent costs 1,000,000 points of energy, would you like to draw?]

Looking at the talent draw option in front of him, Su Xing hesitated slightly.

"With my current strength, even if I draw the Dragon Slayer, I might not be a match for that damned dragon..."

"I should break through to the Body Integration Realm first, then make my plans..."

Thinking this, Su Xing murmured:

"I choose to draw the Golden Legendary Talent!"

[Ding, congratulations! You have obtained the Purple Talent, Chess Master; the probability of drawing a Golden Talent next time is 60%...]

[Chess Master]: A Purple Talent, it makes you far superior to ordinary people in chess, good at strategy and planning. Chess and painting, among others, are part of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation...
