"But even if I don't do a single paid simulation, I can still grow eventually by using my free monthly simulation."
Su Yang was full of confidence about this.
He had only simulated three times and had already gone from a mere mortal to a Foundation Establishment Layer 3 cultivator. He had even become the Sword Child of the Tianjian Sect, the overlord of Qixia Island, making him one of the most valuable individuals among the Foundation Establishment cultivators on Qixia Island.
So what about 10 simulations, 20 simulations... 100 simulations!
To what extent could he grow?
"So what I need most right now is time. Spirit Stones and treasures are great if I can get them without risk, but if there's risk, I don't need to take it."
"Steadiness will be the only creed of my life!"
Su Yang didn't want to die halfway through his cultivation journey due to being too reckless.
"However, grudges that should be avenged and resentments that should be repaid cannot be ignored. After all, I've already simulated these scenarios, and there's no risk involved. Plus, I'll get compensation from the Huaye Sect Master, which should be worth at least thirty to fifty thousand Spirit Stones."
It was getting close to the time limit.
Su Yang felt it was time to make a move.
The courtyard of Jiang Jing, the leader of the Medicine Gang.
At this moment, the two vice leaders, Li Mingchang and Ding Chuanhong, along with many high-ranking martial artists from the gang, had all gathered here.
Old Wang was recounting the events that had just transpired, bit by bit.
"That kid just looked at you, and everyone except you exploded?" Gang Leader Jiang Jing asked with a serious expression.
"That's right, I saw it with my own eyes. Gang Leader, you know me, I'm the most honest person, I wouldn't lie."
Seeing Jiang Jing's stern look, Old Wang thought Jiang Jing suspected him of lying and quickly pleaded, patting his chest to emphasize his sincerity.
"I don't think you're lying, I just find it a bit unreasonable!"
Seeing Old Wang's tearful state, Jiang Jing felt a bit disgusted and casually comforted him.
"Normally, even I couldn't do something like that. It's even more impossible for a kid who was a mortal just half a day ago.
However, the cultivation world is vast, and there's nothing strange about peculiar spells or treasures.
I think this kid might have obtained a peculiar treasure.
But the effectiveness of a treasure also requires personal ability to support it.
After all, he was just a mortal half a day ago, and he might not have truly stepped onto the path to immortality yet.
Even with a treasure, he wouldn't be a match for our entire Medicine Gang!" Jiang Jing analyzed.
"The Gang Leader is wise!" everyone chimed in with praise.
"However, I've always been cautious in my actions and ensure there's room for retreat in everything."
Jiang Jing continued, looking at a subordinate nearby.
"Has the enforcement team arrived?"
"Gang Leader, please rest assured. As soon as you gave the order, I immediately went to invite them. Captain Gao Xin heard about such a heinous crime in our southern residential area and personally led the team here," the subordinate quickly replied.
"Excellent, then everything is foolproof." Jiang Jing was confident.
Gao Xin was one of the sixteen captains of the Qingye Market enforcement team and an inner disciple of the Huaye Sect, with a cultivation level as high as Qi Cultivation Layer 8.
He was a big shot that Jiang Jing usually had difficulty getting in touch with.
With him here, no matter how great Su Yang's fortune was, he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
The only worry now was that Su Yang had just bluffed Old Wang and had already slipped away.
But Jiang Jing didn't think so.
If he had killed Old Wang too and then fled, it would have been much more silent.
"Gang Leader, Captain Gao and the other enforcers have arrived."
A disciple hurried over to remind him.
"Then hurry and invite them. No, wait, I'll go myself. That will show our sincerity." Jiang Jing said hastily.
He then rushed to the courtyard entrance with a fawning smile.
Behind Jiang Jing were the other high-ranking members of the Medicine Gang, all wearing similar smiles.
When the enforcement team rounded a corner and appeared.
Jiang Jing quickly stepped forward a few paces and said respectfully, "Captain Gao, you've arrived. The heavens have blessed us. Please uphold justice for our Medicine Gang."
"Don't worry, I've got this. I hate these heinous criminals the most."
Gao Xin put on a righteous expression, but his outstretched hand was subtly rubbing his fingers together.
"I only have one small, perhaps impolite request. When that kid arrives, let me be the one to kill him. I want to avenge our poor and innocent gang members."
As Jiang Jing spoke, he quietly handed over a storage bag.
Gao Xin slightly weighed the storage bag and knew whether he should help with this request.
His smile instantly bloomed.
"According to the rules, I can't help you open this passage, but... favors can be made. I understand how you feel. Just remember to be quick when the time comes, so you don't make things difficult for me!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I understand, I understand everything!" Jiang Jing nodded.
"Understand what? Tell me, okay?"
Just then, a voice suddenly came, attracting everyone's attention.
Immediately after, a figure appeared in the distance.
He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in the most ordinary short shirt and cloth clothes, yet his entire demeanor was extraordinary and refined, as if... he had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, like a great cultivator.
"How is this possible?"
Gao Xin quickly shook his head.
What great Foundation Establishment cultivator wasn't in their late forties or fifties when they achieved it? Even if cultivators had long lifespans, they would still look at least in their thirties at that age.
How could someone who looked sixteen or seventeen be a great Foundation Establishment cultivator?
"I must have sensed it wrong. However, this person's aura is truly intimidating. If he were a little older, he would have limitless potential in the field of fraud!"
"Captain Gao, Boss, this man is the cruel murderer who brutally killed fifteen of our Medicine Gang members!"
Old Wang quickly stepped forward and pointed.
As Su Yang's gaze met his, Old Wang immediately trembled all over, instinctively wanting to retreat, as if the bloody fireworks from before were blooming one by one in his eyes again.
However, upon seeing the imposing presence of his own boss and the majestic captain of the enforcement team, he instantly felt confident again.
"Hahaha, you didn't expect this, Su Yang. I was enduring humiliation just now. Now that our boss is here, and Captain Gao of the enforcement team is also here, you are absolutely dead." Old Wang laughed heartily.
"I truly didn't expect a nobody like you could gather everyone here."
Su Yang also walked closer at this moment, scanning everyone present.
The three bosses of the Medicine Gang, five deacons, and twelve captains and vice-captains were all present; not a single high-ranking member was missing.
Old Wang's ability to handle matters was truly not bad.
"Captain Gao, since this person is that culprit, I will make my move." Jiang Jing greeted him.
Gao Xin nodded, "Alright, then I shall witness the magnificent sorcery of Boss Jiang."
And then...
With a bang.
Jiang Jing, who was about to make his move, exploded.
Flesh and blood splattered all over Gao Xin's face.
"Ah! The boss exploded!"
"Let's run!"
"Captain Gao, you must seek justice for us!"
The remaining members of the Medicine Gang fell into chaos. Some were terrified, some turned and fled, but more still pleaded with Gao Xin to act.
Now, he was the only one they could rely on.
However, this Captain Gao slowly retreated to the side with his men. He hadn't even clearly seen how Su Yang had made his move.
From a young age, he had understood one principle: do not provoke a strong individual whose depth you cannot fathom.
Now, although he had already provoked him, if he didn't continue to offend him...
That powerful individual, for the sake of the Huaye Sect, might still spare his life.
"Fix!"
Su Yang uttered a single word. Simultaneously, the Yang Spiritual Root in his dantian glowed slightly, and his Foundation Establishment magic power flowed through the Yang Spiritual Root, connecting with the spiritual energy within a radius of nearly a hundred meters.
Then... he fixed it, restricting its flow.
The spiritual energy solidified. Those moving within the spiritual energy, without sufficient power to break through the blockade, would naturally have their bodies frozen.
"Explode."
Su Yang again used the connection between his spiritual root and the spiritual energy to channel a bit of magic power into their bodies.
Immediately after, various bloody fireworks bloomed.
In the blink of an eye, all the high-ranking members of the Medicine Gang, including Old Wang, were annihilated.
Su Yang then looked towards the enforcement team.
"Senior, they offended you, and they deserved their fate. Our Qingye Market will not pursue this matter. Please leave quickly!" Gao Xin said slowly.
"Leave? I don't think that's necessary. Take a look at this."
Su Yang, just as in his simulation, threw his Token to Gao Xin.
"A Token of identity? Could he really be from some major power?"
Gao Xin took the Token and felt the incredibly profound sword intent emanating from it, along with the words "Tianjian" on the front. He was greatly startled.
"He's actually a disciple of the legendary Tianjian Sect!"
He then flipped the Token over, and the words "Sword Child Su Yang" inscribed on it clearly came into view.
"Sword Child?"
"Does the Tianjian Sect have disciples of this rank?"
Gao Xin recalled the contents taught in the sect's common knowledge class.
He was sure that such a Tianjian Sect Token had never been described in class.
He was also sure that the class only mentioned that the Tianjian Sect had three levels of disciples: outer disciples, inner disciples, and True Disciples.
There was absolutely no such thing as a Sword Child.
A flicker of shock crossed Gao Xin's eyes. He hadn't expected this person to be so bold as to impersonate a Tianjian Sect disciple.
If he hadn't been lacking in knowledge about the Tianjian Sect, he might have actually been fooled.
However, he couldn't expose him now.
Otherwise, the other party would fly into a rage, and he would be the one to die.
"I've already notified the sect elders to come over. What I need to do now is to keep him here until the elders arrive, then capture him. Perhaps I can even establish some connection with the Tianjian Sect this way!"
Thinking this, Gao Xin felt that encountering Su Yang wasn't necessarily dangerous; it might even be his opportunity.
He quickly and respectfully handed the Token back, bowed, and saluted.
"Senior, I didn't expect you to be the Sword Child of the Tianjian Sect. Please wait here. I've already sent a message to the sect elders, and they'll be here soon. They will definitely apologize to you personally."
Su Yang smiled and nodded.
This is what status feels like!
Everything the simulated Su Yang experienced last time is finally happening to me.
And the simulated Su Yang was only a True Disciple, but I'm the Sword Child.
Doesn't that mean what I'm experiencing will be supercharged?
"Wait, Sword Child?"
Su Yang suddenly realized something.
He clearly remembered that in the simulation, he had lived in the Tianjian Sect for twenty years, and at first, he hadn't known about the existence of a Sword Child.
Now, how could a disciple from a small sect, a hundred thousand miles away from the Tianjian Sect, know so clearly about the existence of the Tianjian Sect's Sword Child?
Upon seeing the Sword Child Token, he didn't even show a hint of doubt.
Moreover, in the simulation, the reaction of the enforcement team upon seeing the True Disciple Token was to fearfully kneel and apologize.
This time, however, they were only superficially respectful and didn't even kneel.
"So, they don't recognize the Sword Child Token at all, and they don't believe I'm the real Sword Child."
"Their actions now are just to placate me while they wait for their Foundation Establishment elders to arrive."
"And will their Foundation Establishment elders definitely recognize the Tianjian Sect's Sword Child Token?"
Su Yang couldn't be sure.
If they didn't recognize it, then he would become a madman impersonating a Tianjian Sect disciple.
Those Foundation Establishment cultivators would definitely attack him to gain merit.
Su Yang was currently only at Foundation Establishment Layer 3, and he didn't have any suitable magic artifacts on him.
Although his foundation was strong and his spells were outstanding, if all the Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding Qingye Market attacked him...
He didn't have the confidence to survive.
This was a serious threat to his life.
"Damn it!"
Thinking this, Su Yang's expression suddenly changed drastically. He cursed angrily, and several streams of magic power shot out.
Gao Xin and the other enforcement team members all exploded and died.
He then immediately channeled all his magic power and shot out towards the outside of Qingye Market.
"Excellent, excellent! His decisiveness in killing shows the fruit of a sword cultivator's path, and his astuteness in handling matters surpasses ordinary people. He truly is the Sword Child of my Sun Sword Peak. I absolutely adore him!"
Above the clouds, True Monarch Mingyang, who had arrived not long ago, saw everything.
"Now it's time for me to meet him!"
