RUMBLE!!!
As if a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers had crossed the border, the immense sound shook the heavens and earth.
The green cave mansion exploded violently, like a great star collapsing, its aftershocks spreading like rolling waves in all directions.
Elder Jingyun and the other eighteen elders of Bodhi Temple were swallowed by the aftershocks before they could even react.
Run!
Run fast!
Jiang Chuan was horrified and turned to flee, but he was, after all, only a cultivator at the Second Realm.
He was swallowed by the aftershocks the moment he turned.
[You were engulfed by the explosion of the Annihilation Cave Mansion, dying without a complete corpse.]
[This romance simulation has failed.]
"Damn it! What a loss!"
Jiang Chuan slammed his fist hard onto the wooden bed beneath him, venting his frustration.
With a bang, the wooden bed under Jiang Chuan instantly splintered into pieces.
Caught off guard, Jiang Chuan rolled off the bed and onto the ground.
The loud noise directly woke Jing Hui from his sleep.
Jing Hui looked at Jiang Chuan on the ground, then at the shattered wooden bed.
"Junior Brother, although I have a broad mind, it's the middle of summer. Sleeping in the same bed with you is just too hot."
"Even if you broke your own bed, I still won't let you onto my bed."
Jiang Chuan: "."
Who wants to get on your bed?!
Can you stop falsely accusing me out of nowhere?
If this got out, how would I, Jiang Chuan, ever get by in the Qingyuan Realm?
"Senior Brother, you can rest assured. I'd rather die on the floor than get on your bed."
Jiang Chuan picked up his quilt from the ground: "I'll sleep on Jing Yuan's bed tonight."
Jing Yuan was a junior brother to Jiang Chuan and Jing Hui, but unlike them, Jing Yuan was taken in as a disciple by Elder Kong Chen of Bodhi Temple just one year after joining. He then followed Elder Kong Chen to wander the Qingyuan Realm.
Seeing Jiang Chuan lie down on Jing Yuan's bed, Jing Hui finally closed his eyes with a sense of peace.
Jiang Chuan lay on the bed, gazing at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, his brow furrowed.
This simulation of his could be considered a complete failure.
Not only did he not receive any rewards, but he didn't even gain any cultivation experience.
"The Dragon Transformation Venerable's cave mansion not only has bizarre formations but also likely had a self-destruct program pre-installed. It shouldn't be treated like the cave mansion of an ordinary Eighth Realm cultivator."
"In the next simulation, I must remind Elder Jingyun to bring more elders, or perhaps directly invite Abbot Kong Ming to take action."
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the various emotions in his heart, Jiang Chuan closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
[Elder Jingyun, along with thirty-five elders of Bodhi Temple, accompanies you to Chisha Island to open the Annihilation Cave Mansion.]
[You were engulfed by the explosion of the Annihilation Cave Mansion, dying without a complete corpse.]
[This romance simulation has failed.]
[Elder Jingyun summons the Warrior Monk Institute's Dao artifact, the Dragon Subduing Zen Staff, and leads thirty-six elders of Bodhi Temple, accompanying you to Chisha Island to open the Annihilation Cave Mansion.]
[The Annihilation Cave Mansion explodes, you are consumed by the aftershocks, dying without a complete corpse.]
[This romance simulation has failed.]
[.]
Recalling the scene of the cave mansion exploding just now, Jiang Chuan gritted his teeth.
Ten times!
He had used the simulator to ask the elders of Bodhi Temple to help open the Annihilation Cave Mansion left by the Dragon Transformation Venerable ten times!
But each of these ten times ended without exception with the explosion of the Dragon Transformation Cave Mansion.
No matter how many elders Elder Jingyun brought, or what Magic Artifacts they took out, the result was always the explosion that annihilated Jiang Chuan.
Jiang Chuan used his palm as a blade, cutting down the waist-high weeds in front of him.
"I don't believe it! With the foundation of Bodhi Temple, they still can't open a single cave mansion!"
After chopping a few more times, slightly releasing the anger in his heart, Jiang Chuan took out his green gourd, poured out a Spirit Ginseng Body Tempering Pill, and swallowed it in one gulp, continuing his cultivation.
At the same time, the Void Devouring Scripture circulated, drawing all sorts of primal energies from heaven and earth towards Jiang Chuan.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Jiang Chuan's aura suddenly expanded, his entire being like a drawn sword, exuding an overwhelming sharpness.
Second Realm, Third Layer!
The Void Devouring Scripture, combined with the Spirit Ginseng Body Tempering Pill, allowed Jiang Chuan to break through three times in just ten days.
"The Warrior Monk Institute assessment starts in five days. I should be able to break through one more time in these five days."
Jiang Chuan's voice was calm, but if it were to spread, it would be enough to shake the entire Chore Yard!
Four breakthroughs in half a month!
Such a cultivation speed couldn't be called unprecedented, but it was certainly a sight rarely seen in a century.
"Junior brother, junior brother, so you were here."
Just as Jiang Chuan was about to swallow a pill and continue cultivating, he heard Jing Hui's voice.
Jing Hui ran to Jiang Chuan and pulled him towards the Chore Yard.
"Elder Jing Zhen is looking for us and said it's good news."
"Senior brother, are you sure it's good news?"
Jiang Chuan had no faith that Elder Jing Zhen would think of good news for him and Jing Hui.
"The elder guaranteed it to me, saying it's definitely good news."
Seeing the excited Jing Hui, Jiang Chuan sighed softly.
No need to guess, Jing Hui had been tricked again!
When they met Elder Jing Zhen, the elder's words directly confirmed Jiang Chuan's guess.
"There's a Spirit Tiger in the Beast Courtyard that's about to give birth and needs someone to look after it."
"Jing Hui, haven't you always wanted a majestic mount?"
"This task will be given to you and Jiang Chuan. Befriend the Spirit Tiger, and when she gives birth, perhaps she'll directly give you one of her cubs as a mount."
"Thank you, Elder Jing Zhen!" Jing Hui was extremely excited.
He was already imagining himself riding a majestic Spirit Tiger, showing off in front of people, and being worshipped by mortals as gods and buddhas!
Jiang Chuan rubbed his temples.
A Spirit Tiger, to put it plainly, was a demon tiger subdued by a cultivator.
Anyone with a little understanding of expectant mothers knew that their emotions could fluctuate easily!
Not to mention, it was a mother tiger about to give birth!
It would be strange if she had a good temper!
"Elder Jing Zhen, are you sure we won't be swatted to death by that mother Spirit Tiger?"
Hearing Jiang Chuan's words, the excitement on Jing Hui's face vanished without a trace, replaced by worry.
Although he wanted a majestic mount, he was more worried about being swatted to death himself.
"There's no need to worry about that."
"Jing Zhen, are these the two little ones you found to watch over me?"
A voice, slightly coy and sweet, rang out.
A tall woman appeared in the Chore Yard.
Her skin was as white as snow, her golden hair reached her waist, and her charming face was full of maternal radiance.
Even more eye-catching was the spiritual medicine emitting a five-colored glow in her hand.
Elder Jing Zhen clasped his hands together: "Amitabha! This humble monk greets Senior Jin Feng."
Jin Feng swallowed the spiritual medicine in her hand, then stared at Jiang Chuan and Jing Hui, finally resting her gaze on Jiang Chuan.
In an instant, Jiang Chuan felt as if he had been seen through.
"Oh? Interesting little ones, let them watch over me."
After speaking, Jin Feng turned and walked towards the outside of the Chore Yard.
Elder Jing Zhen instructed: "Jing Hui, Jiang Chuan, from now until the Warrior Monk Institute assessment, you will follow Senior Jin Feng to prevent her from randomly consuming spiritual medicines and treasures, which could affect the development of her unborn child. Do you understand?"
Jiang Chuan: "..."
So, the care you mentioned was actually for us to act as human monitors, right?
But are you sure that this person, whom even you refer to as 'Senior,' is someone we can manage?
Jiang Chuan highly suspected that Jin Feng would swat them both with a claw the moment he and Jing Hui stepped out of the Chore Yard.
