Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Meeting with the high-ranking military officials of the Great Xia Country!

Su Xing felt somewhat excited. Previously, he had reported in the simulation to the high-ranking officials about the beasts attacking the Great Xia Country, but it had been suppressed.

Only because, although he was worth hundreds of billions at that time, he was still an ordinary person with low strength.

However, in this simulation, the Fasting Pills refined by Su Xing held great significance for the Great Xia Country, which is why he obtained this rare opportunity.

Su Xing took a deep breath and continued the simulation.

[The military leader you met was an old man. You were surprised to find that you had seen him on the news before. His name was Lu Yuanwu, and he was a Martial Emperor Level expert!]

[The leader warmly welcomed you and asked how many Fasting Pills you could refine in a day.]

[Over the years, your alchemical skills had become more proficient. For the lowest-level elixir like the Fasting Pill, you were confident you could refine fifty pills in a day.]

[The leader frowned slightly upon hearing this number. He said that this quantity was still too small and inquired about the method to refine the Fasting Pill, offering to meet any of your demands if you provided the recipe.]

[Without hesitation, you handed over the pill recipe, aware that only you could refine the Fasting Pills. Not to mention that Spirit Rice was almost impossible to find in the mortal world, even with it, ordinary people without the Li Fire Technique couldn't refine the pills.]

[Sure enough, a few days later, Lu Yuanwu returned to you, indicating that the people he arranged for could not refine the pills, and assured you that you could focus on refining the Fasting Pills.]

[You stated your own request to explore the Demon-Subduing Pass.]

[Lu Yuanwu hesitated, saying that the Demon-Subduing Pass was far too dangerous and that you would surely perish there with your current strength.]

[But at your insistence, Lu Yuanwu eventually agreed to your request. However, he required that you not go to the front lines and instead stay in the safe zone within the city of the Demon-Subduing Pass to refine pills. He also assigned three Grandmaster Level experts and one Heavenly King Level expert to protect you closely.]

[The next day, you followed a group of profession users into the Demon-Subduing Pass.]

[You felt familiar with the surrounding profession users and, upon careful inquiry, were surprised to find that many of them were former students and even teachers from Kyoto Professional University.]

Su Xing nodded at this point. According to the trajectory in the simulator, he would stay at Kyoto Professional University for five or six more years, totaling about ten years.

Over those ten years, he would have certainly encountered many junior students. Thirteen years later, many of those students would likely become Master Level, Grandmaster Level, or even higher-level experts.

[Through inquiry, you understood that the situation at the Demon-Subduing Pass has worsened in recent years. Not only do Grandmaster Level profession users need to enter, but even Master Level users have annual tasks there.]

[You stepped into the Demon-Subduing Pass, finding everything seemingly indistinguishable from the real world.]

[However, there was a huge transparent dome in the sky covering the entire Demon-Subduing Pass.]

[You noticed there were no ordinary people in the Demon-Subduing Pass. Apart from you, the weakest person possessed Master Level strength.]

[You were placed in an inconspicuous small courtyard in the rearmost part of the Demon-Subduing Pass, where Lu Yuanwu also resided nearby, with a Heavenly King Level expert guarding you.]

[You were not allowed to approach the front lines but spent your days refining pills in the courtyard. Most of your demands were fulfilled.]

[You focused on refining Fasting Pills, maintaining a daily output of fifty pills.]

[Six months passed quickly. Through your continuous efforts and improvements, your speed of refining Fasting Pills increased further, reaching sixty pills per day.]

[All the Fasting Pills you refined daily were sent to the front lines, but Lu Yuanwu mentioned that this quantity was still a mere drop in the ocean for the warriors on the front lines.]

[You felt dissatisfied, thinking you were already trying your best to refine pills but still unable to satisfy the military's demands, turning you into a heartless alchemical machine.]

[One night, you quietly sneaked towards the city wall of the Demon-Subduing Pass while the others were not paying attention.]

[The city you were in was called the End City, roughly the size of Kyoto City. Demon-Subduing Pass was in the north of the city, while you were previously in the south.]

[Taking advantage of the night, you hurried northwards. The farther north you went, the fewer pedestrians you saw. Even if there were occasional pedestrians, they were in a hurry, clad in armor, and wielding weapons.]

[You moved quickly and arrived at the Demon-Subduing Pass after half an hour. Gazing at the magnificent city, you were awestruck for the first time.]

[This was perhaps no longer a city in the conventional sense, as the city walls stood thousands of feet high. Looking up from the wall's base, you couldn't see the top.]

[You blended in with a group of profession users heading to the top of the wall and climbed up the Demon-Subduing Pass.]

[Along the way, you saw many critically injured profession users being carried down. Priests and other support users poured healing potions into their mouths constantly, but most could not be saved.]

[You finally climbed atop the wall of the Demon-Subduing Pass, which was far wider than you imagined, almost like a large plaza.]

[Many profession users were busily engaged on the wall. You heard the occasional roar of artillery fire and cries for help.]

[You saw bright spells striking outside the pass like fireworks and many modern missile weapons firing chaotically.]

[Calming yourself, you slowly approached the edge of the wall.]

[What you saw was unforgettable, an endless wilderness littered with ant-like dots - the corpses of human profession users.]

[And in the wilderness, countless grotesque and hideous beasts. These monsters towered up to a thousand meters, with the smallest being tens of meters high.]

[You were overwhelmed by the presence of these monsters, almost unable to stand.]

[At this moment, you saw an older profession user roar and leaped off the Demon-Subduing Pass with dozens of other users.]

[You understood that they were sacrificing their lives to prevent the monsters from breaking through the pass.]

[It was inevitable that the mere dozens of Grandmaster Level users could not stop these terrifying monsters.]

[But more and more profession users, including Grandmasters and even Heavenly Kings, leaped from the walls to fight. Hundreds of lives were sacrificed, but the monsters' assault was successfully repelled for the time being.]

[You were deeply shaken. Over the past six months, you had been focused on refining pills, but now you realized the true face of the Demon-Subduing Pass.]

[At this moment, a figure appeared behind you - Lu Yuanwu. With a slight sigh, he patted your shoulder and said something you would never forget.]

[He said, "As long as the Great Xia's mountains and rivers remain secure, never will there be a shortage of those willing to die."]
