A sense of warmth appeared in Jiang Yuan's heart.
He carried his sleeping sister to the bed and began to eat the food she had left for him.
These kinds of days were quite good...
The next day, Jiang Yuan arrived at the main hall of the Golden Saber Sect, the first place he saw when he opened his eyes in this world.
"Drink this cup of disciple-acceptance tea, and you'll be an official disciple of my Golden Saber Sect! Li Xiaotian, are you willing to advance and retreat with my Golden Saber Sect?"
"This disciple is willing!"
"From today onwards, you are a disciple of my Golden Saber Sect!"
To call it the Golden Saber Sect, it was actually just a martial arts hall.
Mr. Golden Overlord Saber was the old head instructor. Below the old head instructor were disciples who had already graduated. Some stayed within the Golden Saber Sect to help the old gentleman teach disciples together, while others relied on their martial arts skills outside to seek wealth and status. These individuals had also paved the way for their junior brothers and sisters.
This was the most basic martial arts hall system.
It was quite different from the system of elders and disciples within a sect.
The Golden Saber Sect was considered mid-tier among the martial arts halls in Thousand Cloud City, and Mr. Golden Overlord Saber was already a master of Hua Jin - Body Completion.
With the support of a faction, Jiang Yuan could cultivate without worry.
The unpredictable situation in Thousand Cloud City did not affect Jiang Yuan in the slightest.
He cultivated for three years.
Jiang Yuan's cultivation did not advance at a thousand miles a day as it might have in reality.
However, with his experience from reality, Jiang Yuan could take many detours in his cultivation, and his martial arts skills still allowed him to be invincible among those of the same level.
It was just that Jiang Yuan in this life had learned to restrain himself, and his strength was not too exposed. However, even so, the name Swift Thunder Saber Li Xiaotian had spread.
In three years, Jiang Yuan's cultivation reached the peak of the Mid Qi and Blood Stage, just a sliver away from reaching the Complete Qi and Blood stage.
"Brother, I heard from Aunt Chen next door that the White Lotus Sect in the south of the city is causing trouble again."
As soon as Jiang Yuan returned home, his sister Li Ke said to him with some worry.
It seemed she had been worried all day.
The situation in Thousand Cloud City was quite chaotic now, but Jiang Yuan said indifferently, "There are three martial arts halls in the south of the city guarded by Hua Jin Martial Artists, so nothing will happen."
Then Jiang Yuan continued, "You've also reached the age for cultivation. I have a friend at the Peerless Martial Arts Hall, and I'll take you to become his disciple tomorrow."
Jiang Yuan said decisively, but Li Ke was a little unhappy. It was clear she didn't like practicing martial arts, but she had never been able to refuse her brother's words.
"Brother, what is this?"
Jiang Yuan returned to the study as usual. Three years had passed, and the siblings no longer lived in the small, dilapidated flat from before, but in a house with a courtyard.
Jiang Yuan was writing something and didn't expect Li Ke to follow him.
"It's nothing."
Jiang Yuan said nonchalantly.
He was writing about the opportunities he had gained in various places in Thousand Cloud City over the past three years.
These opportunities were not simply rare treasures, but chances to befriend powerful individuals, or hidden locations of martial arts, or treasures that others had overlooked.
At the same time, there were also major events that had occurred within these three years.
These were all preparations Jiang Yuan was making for his next simulated life.
It would be best if this simulated life could be completed in one go.
But if it didn't pass, then the opportunities he had recorded over these three years would be a great treasure for the next life.
Three years was enough time for many things to happen.
"Bang, bang!"
The sound of flesh colliding rang out. Jiang Yuan calmly looked at his senior brother in front of him.
Today was another day to test the disciples' cultivation.
Jiang Yuan's movements were swift, unleashing several fist shadows. Such boxing techniques made his senior brother suffer greatly.
The Golden Saber Sect had always been known for its saber techniques; when had it ever possessed such boxing skills?
Jiang Yuan's footwork shifted slightly, and he dodged his senior brother's hand blade like a loach, then threw out a punch with great force.
It landed directly on his senior brother's back.
"Pfft."
His senior brother fell.
Gasps of astonishment filled the hall. Jiang Yuan stretched his body and looked at the surrounding Golden Saber Sect disciples.
He cupped his hands, then helped his fallen senior brother up from the ground.
"Senior Brother Zhou, are you alright?" Jiang Yuan's tone carried a hint of apology.
Senior Brother Zhou got up and looked at Jiang Yuan with a complicated expression. Six years ago, he had watched this junior brother join the sect, and now, his junior brother could defeat him with ease.
Although he hadn't used his signature saber techniques, Senior Brother Zhou knew Jiang Yuan's saber skills were far superior to his own.
"Hahahaha, good, good, Xiaoyuan!"
Looking exactly the same as he had six years ago, the Golden Overlord Saber, Old Master Zhang Hong, sat with a beaming smile, looking at Jiang Yuan with relief in his eyes.
"Very good, Xiaoyuan, tomorrow you will represent my Golden Saber Sect in the Martial Arts Hall Tournament. With you there, I want to see the expressions on those old fossils' faces!"
Zhang Hong said with a smile.
Jiang Yuan respectfully cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
"You've been in my Golden Saber Sect for six years. In six years, your cultivation has reached the Late Qi and Blood stage. In a few more years, after reaching Mid Qi and Blood completion, you can try to break through the Hua Jin Heavenly Gate. Then, my Golden Saber Sect will also have a Hua Jin expert."
Zhang Hong revealed his somewhat yellowed teeth, grinning. It was clear Zhang Hong was in a good mood.
Jiang Yuan, however, felt a sense of detachment.
Six years. He had been in this world for six years. He could no longer distinguish between reality and his simulated life.
He had spent more time in this life than he had when he first transmigrated to the Hundred Cities Domain.
Jiang Yuan recalled the past, feeling somewhat lost, yet his memories were incredibly clear.
However, it seemed the boost from his [Resilient] talent allowed Jiang Yuan to recover quickly.
For these six years, Jiang Yuan's cultivation had been a step-by-step process. He had gained a deeper understanding of Blood Qi Realm cultivation. Upon returning to reality, his cultivation would advance further.
After a long while, the sparring match ended.
Jiang Yuan left the Golden Saber Sect's courtyard. As soon as he stepped out, a graceful figure rushed into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest.
Jiang Yuan wasn't surprised at all. A doting smile appeared on his face as he stroked the head of the girl in his arms.
Six years had passed, and Li Ke was now seventeen. She had grown into a graceful young woman, her beautiful face fully bloomed. Li Ke stood there like a blooming narcissus.
And Li Ke's talent was far superior to Jiang Yuan's.
It was as if heaven had bestowed all the good looks and talent upon his sister, forgetting about her brother.
At seventeen, Li Ke's cultivation had already reached the Mid Qi and Blood stage, just one step away from the Late Qi and Blood stage, catching up to her brother.
Because of this, Li Ke held a very high status in the Rain Sword Martial Arts Hall. Not only that, but many male disciples were pursuing her.
Jiang Yuan's expression darkened slightly as he looked at the male disciples not far from Li Ke.
These are the ones who want to pick my cabbage?
Hmm?
Jiang Yuan's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly. He noticed that on the back of one of the male disciples' hands, several special markings had appeared.
Although this life seemed ordinary, he possessed a special talent: photographic memory. It was because of this talent that Jiang Yuan's memory of past events was exceptionally clear.
These markings were intertwined, looking somewhat strange, but most people would just glance over them.
Jiang Yuan, however, remembered them clearly. These were the symbols of a White Lotus Sect follower.
And not just any follower, at least a Class A follower.
In the new three years, the city had been suppressed by the combined forces of many martial arts factions, and it had been peaceful for a long time. But Jiang Yuan knew that the White Lotus Sect's influence was stirring in the shadows.
This was something Jiang Yuan had accidentally discovered while he was out "making money."
Initially, Jiang Yuan didn't want to get involved, but now
