I'll Make Three Points
Looking at the Little B, Lu Ping felt that the system's desire to leave work was obvious.
I Love Working!
Let's keep Overtime in this capitalist world of cultivation, System Master!
Lu Ping decisively chose A.
[You chose A.]
[You continue repairing the foundation.]
[You've finally obtained the Soul Searching Technique through the Azure Dragon Merchant Association's channels.]
When Shopkeeper Zhou gave you the Cultivation Method manual, he didn't dare look you in the eye and kept his head down.
[It seems you're worried that if you say something you don't like, you might use a Soul Searching Technique on him.]
[Actually, the Soul Searching Technique is only a mid-grade Cultivation Method.]
However, the caster will suffer a tremendous shock to their soul and memory contamination when casting the spell.
Therefore, although this Cultivation Method seems useful, not many people practice it.
[On the contrary, some Evil Cultivators who feed on the soul are keen on this path.]
[When you received this Cultivation Method, you let out a "hehehe" laugh.]
[Salty Fish will never be a slave!]
[45 years old, 27 years of service.]
[Trait being generated...]
[Congratulations on obtaining the Trait: Performance Backstab (Level D) -- There is a chance that your performance evaluation criteria will be temporarily changed just before you are about to receive a reward.]
Should we replace it?
Lu Ping has confirmed that the system is using Trait to replicate his past life.
However, the Simulator is only responsible for causing problems, not for after-sales service.
[You choose not to change.]
[The Meridian-Clearing Pill has also been iterated to its ninth version within the Greenwood Sect.]
[As an internal benefit, it greatly increased the cultivation speed of lower-level disciples.]
Even if several Foundation Establishment elders and Deacons take the Meridian-Clearing Pill, it will still have some effect.
[Once Second-Grade Alchemist has twenty years of experience, they can take the Third-Grade Alchemist exam.]
[You took some time to go to Qingyang City and obtained your Third-Grade Alchemist Certificate.]
[This is practically the highest level of registered master that a cultivator from the Border Region can obtain.]
With Third-Grade Registered Alchemist Certificate, you can legally purchase and sell top-grade Pills and related medicinal materials.
[In the following years, Greenwood Sect became very slow and very stable.]
[Meridian-Clearing Pill was reissued from the ninth edition to the twelfth edition.]
[Among the first batch of disciples receiving monthly stipends, seven have reached the Foundation Establishment.]
[And your right-hand men, Qian Dafu and Xu Qingshi, have both advanced to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.]
[The rent for the Azure Cloud Sect is increasing every year, although not by much.]
[Another twenty years have passed.]
[Except for the year I was forty-two, when I was given the "Drinking Table Culture" you wanted to use but couldn't, the Simulator consistently produces D-level Trait.]
[With the help of the Azure Origin Dao Canon and a large number of Pills, you gradually repaired your foundation.]
[The old crack deep within his Dantian, though faint, has never truly disappeared.]
[Your attempts to deduce the Core Formation have repeatedly failed, each time ultimately succumbing to the heavenly tribulation.]
[You're already considering heading north to the Domain of Chaos to discuss the possibility of becoming a monk Wuming.]
[Your Black-Feather Fire Crow has finally reached the Foundation Establishment Perfection.]
[According to the cultivation levels of Demon Beasts, this is considered the peak of the Spirit Awakening Stage; the next stage is the Core Condensation Stage.]
[Unfortunately, you don't have the follow-up Cultivation Method for the Fire Crow Technique.]
[At the age of sixty.]
An Azure Flying Boat landed once again Greenwood Sect.
[Si Wangshu entered the Main Hall, her charm unchanged, still resembling the young woman she was forty years ago.]
[His aura, however, is much deeper than it was back then.]
She has already reached the Golden Core Perfection and is only one step away from the Nascent Soul.
[You've only Foundation Establishment Perfection.]
She looked at you for a moment, but didn't ask why you hadn't Core Formation yet.
[Have Xu Qingshi leave.]
[Only you and Si Wangshu remain in the Main Hall.]
"The Si Clan is undergoing a new round of assessments."
What do you want this time?
"Pill Formula that can increase the cultivation speed of low-level Qi Refining cultivators."
[Upon hearing this, your finger paused on the table.]
[Forty years ago, the Spirit-Urging Pill increased the number of Qi Refining.]
[Twenty years ago, the Heaven-Mending Minor Restoration Pill improved the quality of Qi Refining.]
[Now, it's time to increase the speed of Qi Refining cultivation.]
[This almost completely overlaps with what you've been doing for the past twenty years.]
[The Si Clan conducts an assessment every twenty years, and the direction is becoming increasingly clear.]
They are not raising a genius.
[They are exploring the production model for lower-level monks.]
This game of chess is very large and very dangerous.
[Options pop up.]
[A: Hide the Meridian-Clearing Pill, and only provide a modified version of the Ordinary Detoxification Pill.]
[B: Hand over the Meridian-Clearing Pill, and use Si Wangshu and the Si Clan to shield against further pressure.]
[C: Asks Si Wangshu rhetorically, "Is the Si Clan planning Common Prosperity Pilot Program within the cultivation world?"]
The Greenwood Sect is too small.
The Meridian-Clearing Pill could not be hidden forever.
Once the sects or merchants in the Central Region discover its value, the Greenwood Sect, along with its members and the pill Pill Formula, will be acquired.
Instead of waiting for someone else to take it, it's better to proactively hand it over to someone who can handle the responsibility.
Lu Ping chose B.
[You chose B.]
[You retrieve the formula for Qingmai Dan and the twelve-edition test records.]
[Si Wangshu picked up the Jade Slip and scanned it with her Divine Sense.]
[The Main Hall remained quiet for a long time.]
She put down the Jade Slip.
"Do you realize how many people this will offend after it's promoted?"
[Push the Jade Slip forward.]
"So I gave it to my senior sister, not to sell it myself."
[Si Wangshu puts away the Jade Slip.]
"Lu Ping, you're very good."
[You bow in greeting,]
"This disciple only wishes to live a good life."
[Si Wangshu looked at you intently for a moment, and then said,]
"But you saved the lower-level cultivators a breather."
[Then, Si Wangshu took out a Jade Slip and placed it on the table.]
"Severed-Fate Hehuan Powder"
"The Pill Formula you requested."
The main ingredient in the "Severed-Fate Hehuan Powder" is the Yin-Yang Love-Tribulation Flower.
"According to information obtained by our Si Clan, the Yin-Yang Love-Tribulation Flower appeared in Doushu City of the Domain of Chaos forty or fifty years ago."
You paused slightly, thinking, "Forty or fifty years ago, at this very point in time—what a coincidence!"
[Jiang Mutian's poisoning happened forty years ago.]
[Put the Jade Slip away.]
"Thank you, senior sister."
[Si Wangshu stood up.]
"I will handle the matter of the Meridian-Clearing Pill."
"Greenwood Sect should no longer be distributed."
"What about the Azure Cloud Sect?"
Si Wangshu walked to the palace entrance and paused.
"They will receive a more profitable cooperation proposal."
[You suddenly feel like you know them very well.]
[Opponents are not persuaded; they are simply lured away by greater profits.]
[This is very much like the capitalist system of cultivating immortality, and it's also very realistic.]
Before leaving, Si Wangshu gave you a deep look, her expression somewhat complicated.
[There seemed to be a hint of familiar warmth in that glance, but she quickly suppressed it back into her eyes.]
[This is the world of cultivation; only those who follow the Dao Path can ultimately reach the end.]
[You, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Border Region, will soon be completely out of the sight of Nascent Soul True Lord Si Wangshu.]
[Although, you are quite interesting, a minor cultivator from the Border Region, and you do possess some skill.]
[Sixty years old, forty-two years of service.]
[Trait being generated...]
[Congratulations on obtaining the Trait: I’ll Make Three Points (Grade A) -- When you speak, simply saying "I’ll Make Three Points" will cause all cultivators within range to fall into a drowsy state. Even those of higher rank than you have a high probability of experiencing a brief moment of disorientation.]

Should we replace it?
