Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[You used a few Gathering Spirit Flowers to exchange for over a hundred pounds of Flesh Essence from Transcendance Tribulation Stage great demons.]

[You refined them into Rebirth Pills, and enhanced your cultivation level!]

[The Flesh Essence of Transcendance Tribulation Stage demonic beasts had excellent effects!]

[You consumed it daily, and both your Body Refinement Cultivation Level and strength showed significant improvement!]

[Thus, two years had passed...]

[By the twentieth year, with the talent "Swallow Heaven," your cultivation level had reached the mid-phase of the Second Layer's Great Achievement Realm!]

[That year, when your Rebirth Pills were exhausted, you secretly took out a few Gathering Spirit Flowers to exchange for over a hundred pounds of Flesh Essence.]

[You practiced daily in Tiger Immortal's territory, occasionally planting Gathering Spirit Flowers, living a leisurely and carefree life.]

[By the twenty-third year, your cultivation level successfully advanced to the late phase of the Second Layer's Great Achievement Realm!]

[As your cultivation level advanced, your demand for Flesh Essence grew larger and larger.]

[If you kept using Gathering Spirit Flowers for trade, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.]

[So, you chose to trade directly with these demonic beasts.]

[A hundred pounds of Transcendance Tribulation Stage demonic beast Flesh Essence was enough for you to refine three hundred Rebirth Pills!]

[But a single Rebirth Pill had a better effect than a pound of Transcendance Tribulation Stage demonic beast Flesh Essence!]

[Thus, you became a middleman and started earning the difference.]

[You claimed not to make a penny, only wanting to contribute to Tiger Immortal's territory, using one Rebirth Pill to exchange for one pound of Transcendance Tribulation Stage Flesh Essence.]

[Initially, some demon cultivators didn't believe you, but when you hired "agents" to promote the Rebirth Pills' effects, the pill instantly became popular throughout Tiger Immortal's territory!]

[Within just a month, thousands of demon cultivators came seeking to purchase the Rebirth Pills.]

[But you deeply understood the principle of not becoming too conspicuous. If you, alone, indiscriminately refined tens of thousands of Rebirth Pills, you would definitely raise suspicions.]

[So, you stated that your alchemy skills were limited. You could only refine Flesh Essence from demonic beasts below the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and could only make a hundred Rebirth Pills a month!]

[Yet even so, many demon cultivators lined up to buy Rebirth Pills.]

[Because some demon cultivators discovered that Rebirth Pills could neutralize the issue of bloodline conflicts after consuming demonic beast essences!]

[As a result, the price of a Rebirth Pill quickly rose from one pound of Flesh Essence per pill to one pound and one ounce, one pound and two ounces... and eventually even reached one pound and five ounces per pill!]

[In the black market of Tiger Immortal's territory, the price of Rebirth Pills even rose to one pound and eight ounces per pill!]

[Even facing enormous temptation, you maintained your principles, declaring you could only refine a hundred Rebirth Pills each month.]

[A hundred Rebirth Pills were enough to sell for the price of 150 pounds of Transcendance Tribulation Stage Flesh Essence.]

[After spending a few more days refining, you could obtain 450 Rebirth Pills, with a net profit of 350 Rebirth Pills!]

[And 350 Rebirth Pills were enough for you to cultivate for more than a year!]

[Under these circumstances, you lived a modestly prosperous life.]

[Every month, you spent five days refining elixirs, and each week you took an hour to cultivate Gathering Spirit Flowers. The rest of the time, you dedicated entirely to cultivating!]

[With this routine, your cultivation speed improved even further!]

[By the twenty-fifth year, your cultivation level advanced to the peak of the Second Layer's Great Achievement Realm!]

[At this point, you began preparing the resources needed to break through to the Third Layer's Great Achievement Realm...]

[Due to the lack of Body Refinement Techniques, the way you could think of to break through the Great Achievement Realm was to frantically accumulate resources, consume Heaven and Earth Treasures, and use the power of Swallow Heaven to complete the breakthrough!]

[But this would require a considerable number of Rebirth Pills, probably as many as one or two hundred.]

[Fortunately, over the past two years, you had accumulated about a thousand Rebirth Pills, enough for your breakthrough.]

[But before that, you had one important task, to hand over the Gathering Spirit Flowers you had planted over the past decade to Tiger Immortal.]

[Because you had previously told Tiger Immortal that since the Gathering Spirit Flowers were extremely fragile, they shouldn't be disturbed while planting, and Tiger Immortal promised that as long as you provided him with two hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers every ten years and an additional twenty each year, he wouldn't interfere with you.]

[Indeed, Tiger Immortal had done well over the past ten years; you hadn't felt his Divine Sense probing your abode.]

[Over the past ten years, you had planted three batches of Gathering Spirit Flowers, cultivating new seeds, and harvested nearly a thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers in total.]

[You handed two hundred and eight Gathering Spirit Flowers over to Tiger Immortal.]

[Tiger Immortal was quite astonished upon seeing them, explaining that Gathering Spirit Flowers were nearly extinct in the Three Thousand Worlds, and they only existed in some ancient relics.]

[For cultivators above the Immortal Realm, the environment of their abodes was extremely important, and Gathering Spirit Flowers could enhance the quality of their abodes and the spiritual energy concentration. Thus, powerhouses above the Human Immortal Realm were all eager for Gathering Spirit Flowers.]

[However, a few Gathering Spirit Flowers were not very useful; only a large enough number could spark a competition among major cultivators.]

[If there were ten thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers, even True Immortal Realm cultivators would fight to the death for them.]

[And if they had several thousand Gathering Spirit Flowers, the core area of Tiger Immortal's abode could be upgraded to a Blessed Land, greatly accelerating the growth of Tiger Immortal's cultivation level!]

[Hearing Tiger Immortal's words, your understanding of the value of Gathering Spirit Flowers deepened.]

[After offering over two hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers, Tiger Immortal's favor towards you significantly increased.]

[He gifted you a corpse of a demon cultivator close to the Human Immortal Realm and promoted you to the position of chief steward of farmland in Tiger Immortal's territory.]

[For a time, it seemed you had indeed become a favored individual in Tiger Immortal's domain.]

[Moreover, with your status as a master alchemist, all the demon cultivators in Tiger Immortal's territory greatly respected you.]

[But you always harbored a trace of anxiety in your heart because you knew the current stability was merely an illusion...]

[For twenty years later, Tiger Immortal's entire territory would be completely overrun...]
