While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Cultivation Technique, Changchun Technique

[Unyielding Eyes]: Upon your demise, you are granted the ability to deduce for one additional day. (Blast it, I must identify my killer!)

Su Xing's brow furrowed as he read the description of this talent, though his mood quickly brightened.

Within the simulation, this specific talent might prove to be incredibly impactful.

It could allow him to witness the state of the world immediately following his own death!

[Your phone vibrates with a call. It is a junior student requesting that you carry them through a dungeon for experience.]

[You rise from your bed and depart to accept the commission.]

[With your enhanced power, Bronze-level dungeons pose no challenge; you earn fifty thousand dollars in a single day.]

[Throughout the year, you tirelessly grind through Bronze-level dungeons and boost others, accumulating twenty million dollars.]

[Due to your obsession with the Ten Miles Slope dungeon and your ability to slay Bronze-level monsters in one hit, you are dubbed the 'Sword God of Ten Miles Slope' by the public.]

[During this period, you maintain your connection with the junior you previously met, Wang Qingxuan.]

[Between your jobs, you frequently take her along for leveling sessions and provide her with plenty of emotional encouragement.]

[Slowly, Wang Qingxuan begins to develop romantic feelings for you.]

Su Xing gave a faint, bitter smile. From the previous simulation, he understood that Wang Qingxuan was fundamentally a good person.

Since she had sacrificed her life to protect him before, it was only natural that he wished to alter her destiny this time around.

Su Xing pressed on with the simulation.

[One day, an anxious-looking Wang Qingxuan comes to find you.]

[She confides a secret: a shadowy organization has reached out to her.]

[You immediately warn her against joining this mysterious group.]

[Though hesitation is etched on Wang Qingxuan's face, she eventually gives you a nod of agreement.]

[That evening, the two of you share an intimate night together.]

[The following morning, news reaches you that Wang Qingxuan has withdrawn from school and vanished.]

Su Xing was caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.

Did she join the mysterious organization after all? Or was she eliminated by them because she turned them down?

Filled with uncertainty, Su Xing continued the simulation.

[Worried for Wang Qingxuan, you attempt to track her down, but your efforts yield no results.]

[That year, you are unable to graduate because your combat strength is insufficient.]

[Undeterred, you continue to work as a professional booster and errand-runner within the academy.]

[Two years pass, and you slowly build up your initial capital.]

[You establish an equipment shop in Kyoto, specializing in low-grade gear.]

[Another two years go by; while you lack exceptional business genius, your shop thrives enough to be worth hundreds of millions.]

[During this year, the school officially expels you.]

[Having foreseen this, you pivot entirely to your business ventures, founding the "Tarot Society" and expanding your reach.]

[One day, Wang Qingxuan reappears, looking as though she is carrying a heavy burden.]

[Relieved to see her, you ask her where she has been hiding all these years.]

[She remains silent. Suspecting the mysterious organization is involved, you choose not to push for answers.]

[After spending the night together, she slips away quietly, leaving an item by your bedside.]

[It is a dusty, ancient book. Opening it, you realize it is a Cultivation technique known as the "Changchun Technique!"]

[You sense that this is a legitimate method of Cultivation! However, the manual is only half-complete.]

Su Xing was thrilled. A genuine Cultivation technique actually existed!

This discovery gave him a path forward for his own growth!

With a heart full of nervous excitement, Su Xing continued to read.

[Despite the missing pages, you are overjoyed and begin practicing day and night.]

[A month passes, yet your progress is stalled at the first level of Qi Refinement.]

[You are confused; you are certain the technique is real and that you have a Spiritual Root, so why can't you progress?]

"You refused to give up, managing your business only when necessary while pouring every waking thought into mastering this technique."

"Two years later, you finally realize the truth—the reason your Cultivation has stalled is that this world is completely devoid of the Spiritual Energy required for the process."

"Feeling defeated, you had no choice but to stop, remembering that this was the year your sister would perish at the Demon-Subduing Pass."

"Determined to protect her, you returned to your childhood home in the countryside to find Su Nianan."

"You left the 'Tarot Society' in the hands of others and focused entirely on spending time with your sister."

"She was delighted by your presence, constantly begging you to play with her."

"As time went on, Su Nianan's behavior towards you grew more bratty, and she would often steal your snacks and spicy strips."

Su Xing let out a sigh; his sister had always been like that—affectionate at first, then quickly becoming a handful.

It seemed like normal sibling behavior, didn't it?

However, the most significant takeaway for Su Xing was identifying the barrier to his Cultivation!

A Spiritual Root, a Cultivation Technique, and Spiritual Energy—all three were required.

He had the first two; now, he only needed to find a source of Spiritual Energy.

Su Xing pressed on with the simulation.

"One day, an official representative arrived at your home. She sought out Su Nianan, inviting her to join the mission at the Demon-Subduing Pass."

"You flatly refused, telling her that she was forbidden from going there."

"To your surprise, your sister agreed to the request anyway."

"You were shocked to learn that in just four years, your sister had already reached the rank of a Grandmaster professional!"

"She whispered to you that she was actually one of the top geniuses in the country, swearing you to secrecy."

"Even though you were stunned, you still tried to block her from going to that dangerous place."

"Helplessly, she explained that the Demon-Subduing Pass was a mandatory duty for every Grandmaster, requiring at least one month of service annually."

"She promised you she would fight to survive and return home."

"Despite your immense dread, all you could do was urge her to be extremely cautious."

"A month later, the report of your sister's death reached you."

A sense of hopelessness washed over Su Xing.

Was her death seven years from now truly unavoidable?

No!

If he continued to simulate and grew strong enough, he would eventually be able to save Su Nianan!

Su Xing resumed the simulation.

"Having expected this tragedy, you comforted your parents before heading back to Kyoto alone."

"While running your business, you searched for any lead regarding Spiritual Energy."

"Your company grew larger, yet the mystery of Spiritual Energy remained unsolved."

"Three years later, you located Fatty Yu, aware that his time was running out."

"You pleaded with him to avoid the Demon-Subduing Pass instance."

"He was shocked that you knew of the place, but he shook his head, explaining that he had no choice but to fulfill his duty."

"Realizing you couldn't stop him, you instead borrowed a massive sum of money from him."

"That year, you liquidated your equipment inventory at high speed and used the funds to hoard healing potions."

"A year later, the market shifted. You made a fortune by selling those potions at inflated prices, earning tens of billions of Great Xia Coins."

"Knowing you had only four years left, you sold all your assets and dedicated every resource to finding Spiritual Energy."

"A year of searching yielded nothing."

"Then, one day, a mysterious stranger confronted you."

"When you demanded to know his identity, he merely sneered, calling you nothing more than an insignificant ant."

"He snapped your neck, and you died with your eyes wide in shock!"

"Your talent triggered, refusing to let your gaze close even in death!"
