Lin Qianxuan stared blankly at the number [nine] displayed in the upper right corner.

He had thought he would encounter strong enemies and end the game.

But he had never expected to be killed while collecting items midway.

No, it should have been Gongsun Ying who died.

Does it mean that if one of the Gongsun sisters dies, the String of Destiny breaks?

Could it be that he can't go to the Divine Strategy Tower?

But looking at this side quest, it's very important.

Lin Qianxuan was lost in thought.

Looking at the computer, he decided to shut it down and take a break.

The amount of information obtained in the game was a bit overwhelming, and he needed to sort through his thoughts.

Especially the matters before the time travel.

A lot of things happened in the coming month, and he wanted to use the game to simulate a better outcome.

Also, if he could borrow some power from the Otherworld Bureau in advance, he might clear the game more easily, and he wanted to try not participating in the time travel to see what would happen in the future.

If he wants to experience all of it, he'll probably waste two or three restart opportunities.

Lin Qianxuan stood up, raised his hand to gather two water orbs, and swallowed them.

The purity of the water he gathered with his own ability was extremely high, hunger-quenching, filling, and had a good taste, smooth and refreshing.

Lin Qianxuan checked the time; it was almost eleven o'clock on September 2nd.

He had startlingly played from yesterday morning all the way to eleven o'clock today.

He stretched lazily, opened the curtains, and sunlight streamed into the room, making Lin Qianxuan a little sentimental.

He suddenly twitched his nose and then quickly walked to the balcony.

The plum tree he planted in a flowerpot had surprisingly blossomed.

Lin Qianxuan hadn't really taken care of it; after planting it, he fertilized it once and then buried some Spirit Crystals, and that was it.

He hadn't even watered it, letting the rainwater trickle in naturally to water it.

Unexpectedly, it had grown to over half a person's height, densely covered with flower buds.

"Is it the effect of the Spirit Crystals? Or the Dragon's Urine? Or is it an inherently strong variety?"

Lin Qianxuan didn't really understand.

He had never farmed before; he could even kill a cactus by watering it, let alone this thing.

"Should I do artificial pollination...?"

This was a big question.

Ever since Lin Qianxuan acquired the Dragon Bloodline, even when he restrained his aura, no insects dared to come near his residence within a radius of tens of meters.

He hadn't seen flies or mosquitoes for a long time this summer.

Relying solely on the wind might not pollinate much.

Lin Qianxuan decided to go online later to find someone to consult about artificial pollination.

After admiring the casually planted plum tree, Lin Qianxuan thought of the Refining God Cultivation in the game.

Speaking of which, after initially dabbling in cultivation, he hadn't really touched it since then.

After thinking, Lin Qianxuan returned to his room, lay down, and began his visualization.

His heart and spirit instantly settled, and Lin Qianxuan even directly entered a dormant state.

At the same time, he felt strands of pure Spiritual Energy rapidly gathering within the Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness.

His Primordial Spirit Self-Image became even more consolidated.

However, it seemed it was already very consolidated; Lin Qianxuan felt he was just one step away from the realm described as Divine Manifestation.

Indeed, his starting point was different from ordinary people.

The foundation strengthened by his Dragon Bloodline allowed his Refining God Cultivation to skip many stages right from the beginning.

Especially in terms of the spirit, he far surpassed ordinary people, making his Primordial Spirit True Self more consolidated and powerful from the start.

Extracting Divine Energy felt very easy for him, quite different from the cultivation technique description, and his efficiency was likely more than ten times stronger than ordinary people.

Lin Qianxuan patiently continued his Refining God Cultivation until evening at seven.

Then he ended his dormant state.

Well, indeed, there was a bit more Divine Energy in the Purple Mansion, but it felt just like a wisp.

The Divine Energy Martial Arts he learned in the game probably couldn't be used at all.

The Divine Machine Art was the same.

Even with his extraordinary talent, dedicated training over time was still necessary.

Unless he could exploit some sort of cheat.

For instance, Gongsun Ying's [Endless Divine Sea], once opened, provides enough Divine Energy for years of hardship cultivation; can it ever be exhausted?

Lin Qianxuan originally planned to work hard, persist in Refining God for a month, to add some trump cards for himself, but now it seems, even with a month of hardship cultivation, the effects aren't very obvious.

Sighing, Lin Qianxuan reached out, surrounding his phone with a mist of water to bring it to his side, then directly searched on it for techniques for manual pollination.

"Oh, a pollination stick, just needs a dab?"

After reading, Lin Qianxuan felt that he had grasped the trick.

If that's the case, he could simply use a few cotton swabs used for ear cleaning to pollinate.

With a wave of his hand, the bedside drawer opened, and over a dozen cotton swabs naturally flew out from it.

Then, under Lin Qianxuan's control, they flew to the balcony.

At this time, on the balcony, the flowers of that plum tree had almost all bloomed, and Lin Qianxuan, not caring much, controlled the dozen or so cotton swabs to dab each of the stamens.

Dabbing both the stamens and pistils, as long as pollination is ensured, it's fine.

As for the success rate, Lin Qianxuan apparently didn't care.

He just felt that the fruit was a bit special, planted it casually, yet it thrived, grew so fast, and even bloomed.

After going out to eat a bit and drank a few water spheres, Lin Qianxuan felt full, returned home, exchanged pleasantries with Chen Long'Er after her work, and then sat in front of the computer again.

This time, he decided to first simulate the future, and see if he could leverage the Otherworld Bureau.

.....

The game starts with the Gongsun sisters and a group of Rebel Army members surrounded by turbid spirits.

These people, having fought in Purple Bamboo Mountain, had nearly exhausted the Divine Energy within them. Looking at Gongsun Ying, she seemed to have used her ultimate move, now seriously wounded, surrounded by these turbid spirits, without the game characters' aid, their doom seemed certain.

However, Lin Qianxuan wasn't in a hurry to advance the plot to rescue, instead taking out his phone, writing down information in the notepad, delivering it to his future self.

He wanted the extraordinary knowledge and accumulation of the Otherworld Bureau.

What to do?

Rob?

Whether he could succeed in robbing them was a question, and even if he did, he might not gain much.

So Lin Qianxuan changed his approach, directly using joining the Otherworld Bureau as a condition, then exchanging it with the Divine Machine Art and other extraordinary knowledge obtained in the game.

In this way, he could surely gain much extraordinary knowledge.

Furthermore, by knowing the information in advance, he could slightly resolve the monster issue in Liu County and see if assistance from the Otherworld Bureau could help him more easily deal with the monsters.

Lin Qianxuan liberally wrote a lot in the notepad, almost telling himself all the information he knew.

After writing, Lin Qianxuan clicked save, then put the phone aside.

As he put down the phone, the screen's image suddenly changed.

A huge rectangular iron box appeared next to the game characters, looking at least six or seven meters long, and at the same time, he was no longer in casual clothes, but in an outfit resembling combat gear.

"Not prepared so fully? What exactly happened this month?"

(Think in depth, what exactly happened this month, in detail.)

[Although there are some humans in crisis before you, at such a critical moment, your mind recalls the experiences of the past month.]

Lin Qianxuan felt a bit like complaining, but when the words reached his throat, he didn't know what to say.

[At 5 a.m. on September 3rd, you opened the notepad on your phone, saw the information about the future and some courses of action inside, you were surprised, but you chose to believe and execute without hesitation.]

[So on that day, you arrived at the Otherworld Bureau headquarters in Kyoto, found Zhang Heng, and told him you wanted to join the Otherworld Bureau.]

[Zhang Heng expressed welcome towards your choice, and formally handled the relevant procedures for you.]

[After joining the Otherworld Bureau, you fully disclosed some Refining God-related extraordinary knowledge, and in return, were granted access to browse many of the extraordinary knowledge within the Otherworld Bureau.]

[You mainly browsed the extraordinary knowledge related to Spiritual Cultivation, as this was the most suitable for you, with the least restrictions on Earth.]

[You learned many spirit arts, looked at various different spiritual cultivation techniques, and even met Jiang Mengli, who generously allowed you to view the Mystic Light Scripture she practiced.]

[Unfortunately, the Mystic Light Scripture requires the Great Brightness Sacred Body for cultivation, something you don't have, so you couldn't practice it; however, a spirit art among it caught your attention, called the [Great Profound Light Art], an advanced form of Profound Light Art, which apart from high consumption of spiritual energy, requires nothing special. You quickly learned it and were greatly satisfied with its power.]

"[Great Profound Light Art]? Want to learn it! By the way, how is the spiritual text expressed in words? Can a computer type the spiritual text?"

[On September 6th, you notified the Otherworld Bureau people in Longjiang City ahead of time, using a sudden whim as an excuse, stating that an exotic beast would invade the southern part of Duobao Mountain in Liu County. They took your prediction seriously and asked for some details. After hearing your description, an expert suggested that this exotic beast might be related to the Taotie from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, possibly hinting that similar exotic beasts might have invaded our world in ancient times. You were shocked and amazed by this.]

[On September 8th, the plum tree you planted bore fruit and ripened, producing an astounding amount. The small tree held over a hundred plums. You ate some, gave some to Jiang Mengli, Zhang Heng, Nie Yidong, and Wei Zhi. Jiang Mengli stated that the spirit fruit that can increase Qi and blood is good, and that official cultivation is extremely difficult, suggesting you may try to cultivate more plants.]

"Difficult??"

Lin Qianxuan thought back to his planting process. If it's said not difficult, some conditions indeed seemed hard to achieve, but if said difficult, it seemed manageable.

[During the following period, you continuously focused on cultivation and mastered the [Great Profound Light Art] until September 14th when you and several transcendents from the Otherworld Bureau in Longjiang City ambushed Duobao Mountain ahead of time.]

[At 3 a.m. on September 15th, accompanied by a sharp cry similar to a wild goose, a gigantic exotic beast appeared, crossing over to Duobao Mountain. Instantly, the surrounding air dried up, the soil cracked, and countless amounts of moisture were repelled to distant areas.]

[The people from the Otherworld Bureau in Longjiang City activated a spiritual array in advance, enveloping the entire Duobao Mountain with a semi-transparent spiritual energy shield completely.]

[This grand array is a sealing array, capable of isolating an area.]

[Subsequently, you engaged in battle with that Taotie within the array.]

[It was very fast, making the intelligent system of the spiritual energy cannon difficult to aim, so after a discussion, you decided to personally enter the field; the water control ability was nearly ineffective, hardly allowing the water flow to approach its body. Fortunately, it had no effective offensive means, relying only on physical attacks, and its physical body was not as strong as yours. Eventually, you consumed nearly 80% of the spiritual energy within you and used the [Great Profound Light Art] at close range, blasting a beam as thick as a barrel through its head, killing it completely.]
