In a Past Life, He Seemed to Owe Someone Two Life-Saving Debts

Lu Ping sighed.

In the last simulation, he was only at the Qi Refining Stage, and all he could take out were regular mid-grade Detoxification Pills.

Therefore, claiming to be just passing by is somewhat believable.

He has now reached the Golden Core Stage.

Under normal circumstances, there are no Golden Core Stage cultivators active in the Qingling Border Region.

Moreover, he immediately provided the Antidote to Severed-Fate Hehuan Powder.

Using "just passing by" as an excuse again is probably just Little A to leave work early.

In crucial moments, we still have to rely on Little B.

Lu Ping chose B.

[You chose B.]

[The Salty Fish remains in effect.]

[You faced Jiang Mutian's oppressive aura calmly, without retreating a single step.]

"This junior, Lu Ping, has awakened his Past-Life Wisdom and knows that he seems to owe someone two life-saving favors in his past life."

[The Flattery has taken effect.]

[Friend of Women, in effect.]

[Workwear Thugs, in effect.]

[Look her in the eyes, speak calmly, as if you were recounting someone else's story.]

"In this life, I've unknowingly arrived here."

"This junior only wishes to repay this debt of karma."

[Even you yourself think this nonsense is utterly absurd.]

[But Jiang Mutian stared at you for a long time.]

The murderous intent in her eyes slowly dissipated.

A complex and enigmatic light flashed across her face.

She actually nodded.

[She seemed to have truly come to believe in the concepts of "Past-Life Wisdom" and "cause and effect."]

Lu Ping, who was reading the text, was stunned.

You actually believe that?

Are all the big shots in the cultivation world so peculiar in their thought processes?

Or perhaps, having reached the Body Integration Realm, one has gained a deeper understanding of the mysterious and profound concept of "cause and effect"?

Perhaps Jiang Mutian himself has already come into contact with certain rules?

The text continues.

[Jiang Mutian sheathed his Sword Qi.]

[She reached for the Jade Bottle from afar, scanned its contents with her Divine Sense, and without hesitation, swallowed it.]

[The medicinal effects dissipate.]

[The previously rampant Spiritual Power within her body visibly and rapidly subsided.]

The abnormal flush on my face began to fade slowly.

"Come with me."

She only said three words, then turned and walked deeper into the valley.

[You followed behind, and arrived once again at that familiar cave.]

The cave was dark and damp.

This time, however, Jiang Mutian did not lose his temper.

[She walked deeper into the cave, sat cross-legged, and began to circulate her internal energy to expel the remaining medicinal properties and heal her wounds.]

[Options pop up.]

[A: Silently retreating to the cave entrance, acting as a protector, demonstrating the professional ethics of a working person.]

[B: Women are such a hassle; they use leaving Early Leave as an excuse to slip away.]

[C: Takes out the "Yin-Yang Canon" and begins to study it, occasionally exclaiming "So that's how it is!", giving Jiang Mutian a small shock.]

Lu Ping looked at Little B, somewhat incredulous.

In the past, it was common to say things like, "A mere Nascent Soul, let's fucking get him!"

It's quite novel that they're actually running away on their own initiative now.

As for Little C, Lu Ping didn't even dare to glance at him.

Therefore, Lu Ping chooses A.

[You chose A.]

[You turned and retreated to the cave entrance, finding a clean rock to sit on.]

It was extremely quiet inside the cave.

[Only the sounds of Jiang Mutian's long, drawn-out breaths and the faint rumble of Spiritual Power surging through his meridians could be heard.]

[One hour later.]

The Spiritual Power fluctuations within the cave have completely subsided.

"You can come in now."

A cold, clear voice echoed from inside the cave.

You stand up and walk back into the cave.

Jiang Mutian had already stood up.

[The wounds and bloodstains on her body had disappeared; even her robes looked brand new.]

Although her face was still somewhat pale, the sense of impending collapse had vanished.

She looked at you, her gaze still distant.

[A Storage Ring falls into your palm.]

[You scan with your Divine Sense.]

[It was filled with a massive amount of Cultivation Resources for the Golden Core Stage, including various rare spirit medicine and Spirit Stones.]

[Its value far exceeds that of the previous simulation.]

[After a moment's thought, you understand.]

[This big shot is calculating your "salary" based on your current cultivation level.]

[The Qi Refining Stage pays the Qi Refining Stage money, the Foundation Establishment Realm pays the Foundation Establishment Realm money, and the Golden Core Stage pays the Golden Core Stage money.]

[I won't give you more, lest you bring trouble upon yourself.]

[And absolutely no less, ensuring the complete buyout of this cause and effect.]

[Besides the Storage Ring, Jiang Mutian flicked his finger again.]

[An ordinary-looking cyan Sword Talisman hovers in front of you.]

"Below the Spirit Transformation stage, he was slain with a single sword strike."

[She spoke in a flat tone, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.]

"Disposable."

"Take care of yourself."

[You reach out and grasp the Sword Talisman.]

[In the previous two simulations, the trump cards Jiang Mutian provided were life-saving measures that were passively activated before death.]

[This time, they actually gave me a Sword Talisman that can actively attack!]

Jiang Mutian is a true golden goose.

[You put away the Sword Talisman and Storage Ring, and bowed respectfully.]

"Thank you very much, senior."

Jiang Mutian remained silent.

She didn't even glance at you again.

[Her white robes fluttered slightly, and she vanished from the spot.]

[The cave is empty; you're the only one left.]

You stand there, watching the direction she disappeared in.

[You know very well that the gap in cultivation level between you and Jiang Mutian is too great.]

[So big that we don't even qualify to be friends.]

[Once her karma is involved, it might just be a minor storm for her.]

[But for someone like you, a mere Golden Core cultivator, that would be utterly annihilating.]

[Her ignoring you is the best protection for you.]

[That's how you comfort yourself.]

[Salty Fish, in effect.]

[Your initial sense of loss has been soothed.]

[My heart is as still as water, utterly undisturbed.]

[You might even think that staying alone in a cave would be nice, no need to Overtime, no need to deal with a boss's attitude.]

You turn and walk out of the cave.

The moonlight lengthened your shadow.
