Chapter 30 - 28: Terrifying Legends of the Kemoxili Wilderness - Is Susan Actually a Witch?

At this moment, Su Chen couldn’t help but brighten his eyes. "Right, I wonder if this Spiritual Essence Stone from the Cultivation World would be considered a rare treasure in this High Martial World? Or perhaps something as valuable as a diamond..." Su Chen repeatedly scrutinized the Spiritual Essence Stone in his hand, and after a moment, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips. "This thing should sell for quite a lot of money. At least, there really isn’t anything like it on this planet. Since it can be considered a cultivation resource in the Cultivation World, it should be usable here as well, and perhaps even more effective. I’ll use a few first, then sell a few, so I won’t be short on money in the future. Ideally, I could buy a house in the city center, so I won’t have to travel hundreds of kilometers every day." After finalizing his plan, Su Chen immediately and carefully placed all these Spiritual Essence Stones in the cabinet, then took one and held it in his palm, slowly extracting the energy contained within it. A moment later, Su Chen felt a surge of joy. "It really is effective..." At this moment, Su Chen felt a unique energy constantly seeping out from the Spiritual Essence Stone, merging into his limbs and bones. Meanwhile, the Spiritual Essence Stone seemed to be burning, continuously shrinking and disappearing... "This unique energy must be the spiritual power contained in the Spiritual Essence Stone... I suppose those cultivators practice like this too, which is why they consume so many Spiritual Essence Stones each time." While pondering this in his heart, Su Chen continued to cultivate his genetic primal energy through meditation according to the academy’s methods. But this time, his body was also constantly absorbing the spiritual power from the Spiritual Essence Stone. In just over an hour, Su Chen had used up the entire Spiritual Essence Stone. Su Chen didn’t continue using Spiritual Essence Stones for cultivation but instead thought while lying down to sleep. "It seems in a few days, I should find a place that specializes in appraising rare items to see how much this is worth. If the price is right, I’ll have to find a way to get more Spiritual Essence Stones from the Cultivation World and bring them to reality via system rewards... I just don’t know if I can control that storyline. It seems..." At that moment, Su Chen suddenly felt a chill down his spine. For the first time since arriving in this world half a year ago, he felt an unknown fear. Because he just realized that the storyline in the Cultivation World seemed to have some similarities with his experiences in this world. "In the Cultivation World, I’m also a transmigrant from the previous life on Blue Star, always staying in Fuzetown, and where I am now is also a small town... In the Cultivation World, I have a sister who contracted some strange disease and, after a while, looked possessed, with darkened skin and black eyes, as if she was demonized. And in this world, I happen to have a sister named Susan. Her WeChat name is The Witch, and she told me not to try to find her, or I’ll die..." "In the Cultivation World, my sister was adopted by my parents, and in this world’s reality, my sister Susan was also adopted by my parents..." "In the Cultivation World, I’m about to participate in the Cyan Profound Sect’s outer disciple selection competition, and in reality, I’m also about to participate in a martial arts tournament?" "Isn’t this a bit too coincidental? Hey, System, are you there? What the heck is going on... Is that Cultivation World with countless secret realms really real, or is everything in that world completely virtual, including me training there?" After discovering some chilling doubts, Su Chen hurriedly started questioning the originator of all this, which is supposedly the cultivation life simulation system. But at this moment, there was no response to Su Chen’s call in his mind, as if the system had completely disappeared before the simulation of the Cultivation World restarted. "Forget it, never mind, this should all be coincidences, right? Although the storyline in the cultivation time has some similar aspects to my real-life experiences, there are also differences... For example, I have my childhood sweetheart, Meng Yao, and I only crossed into this world halfway through. These don’t align with the storyline." Comforting himself with these thoughts, Su Chen didn’t dwell further. Because in two days, school would start, and he also wanted to clearly understand his current strength through the upcoming martial arts tournament. What Su Chen didn’t expect was that on the day school started, Ling Yue, in a pink miniskirt and a red low-cut dress, actually came to pick him up personally at his doorstep, even driving a red sports car. This surprised Su Chen, along with his mother, who was tidying things up at the door. "Xiao Chen, who is she?" Su’s mother looked at Su Chen with eyes filled with shock and a trace of joy, thinking he had gotten involved with the daughter of some wealthy family. "Uh, this is Sister Ling Yue, a good friend I met at school. She came to pick me up for school. I’m leaving first, Mom." Su Chen explained briefly and then hurriedly got into the car. Ling Yue turned to look at Su Chen’s embarrassed expression, brushed her fiery red long hair aside, smiled slightly, and then slammed on the accelerator. The red sports car shot forward like a cheetah and disappeared at the end of the road in the blink of an eye.
