Canglan Realm, Azure Cloud Sect in Green Prefecture.
On a mist-wreathed mountain peak.
Su Ming furiously hacked at the weeds in the medicinal field.
"Damn heavens! You finally let me transmigrate to the Cultivation World, and then you give me a five-element Mixed Spirit Root?"
That's right. Su Ming was a transmigrator.
Five years had passed since he transmigrated at the age of ten. At twelve, he had joined Azure Cloud Sect in Green Prefecture.
From then on, he'd thought he could unlock his Protagonist template, soar through the cultivation ranks, collect beautiful confidantes from every corner, and finally ascend to the Upper Realm.
Reality, however, had given him a harsh lesson.
On his very first day at Azure Cloud Sect, they had tested him and found that he had a five-element Mixed Spirit Root. He became one of the sect's countless Menial Disciples.
He wasn't suited to cultivation. He'd never break through to Foundation Establishment in his lifetime, and even making something of himself in the Qi Refining Stage was harder than reaching the heavens.
No matter how hard he'd cultivated over the past three years, he'd remained stuck at the first layer of Qi Refining.
"Where's the transmigrator's cheat, like they promised? Where's my Protagonist template? Damn heavens, are you messing with me?"
[ Ding! Congratulations, host. You have successfully activated the Life Simulator! ]
What was this?
The system bro?
"System bro? You there?"
When the system didn't reply for a long while, Su Ming had no choice but to check the Simulator's functions himself.
After looking through them, he learned everything the Simulator could do.
He could simulate future events. Each simulation would randomly grant him a Talent, ranked in five tiers: White, Blue, Purple, Orange, and Red.
After a simulation ended, he could choose one of its rewards to bring back.
The number of rewards he could bring back increased with his cultivation.
Each simulation came with a one-hour cooldown, which also increased as his cultivation rose.
The system would also randomly refresh missions, and completing them could earn him more simulation attempts.
Seeing this, Su Ming could hardly wait to start a simulation.
"Start the simulation!"
[ Drawing a random Talent! ]
[ Congratulations, you've obtained the White Talent: Big Eater. ]
[ Big Eater: Your appetite has become enormous, and you constantly crave food. Anything you eat will be converted into a small amount of spiritual energy. ]
[ Day one: You completed your task of clearing weeds from the Spirit Field. The more you stared at the weeds in your hand, the hungrier you became. In the end, you couldn't resist and ate them all in one bite. ]
[ After returning to your shabby Cave Mansion, you indeed felt a faint warmth rise from your lower abdomen. ]
[ You knew your Talent had taken effect. Without time to think, you sat cross-legged and began to cultivate. ]
[ The spiritual energy inside the Cave Mansion was thin, but you didn't lose heart. You had awakened the Simulator, and your life was about to get back on track. ]
[ Day two: As usual, you went to the Spirit Field to pull weeds. Among the Menial Disciples, this was considered a fairly comfortable job. ]
[ Day thirty: After a month of cultivation, your cultivation had improved slightly. You were overjoyed, since you hadn't made any progress in two years. ]
[ At noon that day, Wang Hao came to your Cave Mansion to collect protection money. ]
[ There was nothing you could do. To hold on to your job tending the Spirit Field, you handed over all five Low-grade Spirit Stones the Menial Disciples received each month. ]
[ You clenched your fists and thought to yourself: Once my cultivation is strong enough, Wang Hao will be the first I deal with. ]
[ Year two: Although you had no Spirit Stones to help you, your Big Eater Talent allowed you to break through to the second layer of Qi Refining. ]
[ That year, Wang Hao came to collect Spirit Stones again. Seeing that he was at the third layer of Qi Refining, you once again chose to endure it and handed over your Spirit Stones. ]
[ Year three: Although your Talent helped, your Spiritual Root was simply too poor, and you couldn't break through to the third layer of Qi Refining. ]
[ Year five: After unceasing effort, you finally broke through to the third layer of Qi Refining. ]
[ That year, you decided you wouldn't endure it anymore. You would fight back against Wang Hao and take back your Spirit Stones. Without them, your cultivation was simply too slow. ]
[ When Wang Hao came to see you, you suddenly attacked him as you handed over the Spirit Stones. ]
[ Caught off guard by your sudden attack, Wang Hao lay on the ground, staring at you in shock. He hadn't expected you to have reached the third layer of Qi Refining. ]
[ You knew that if you delayed, things could go wrong. Before Wang Hao could say a word, you rushed forward and slit his throat. ]
[ At the request of our readers, VIP members can now enjoy an ad-free experience. ]
[ Click to view ]
[ After dealing with Wang Hao, you cleaned up the scene. In the end, you buried his body in the Desolate Mountain behind your Cave Mansion. ]
[ Year six: You had just returned to your Cave Mansion when you sensed danger closing in. ]
[ You had no time to dodge before a single blow pierced through your body. ]
[ Before you died, you heard the other person's final words. ]
[ "You dared to kill my younger brother? Who gave a worthless piece of trash like you the nerve?" ]
[ You died! ]
[ Ding! Simulation over. Choose one of the following rewards. ]
[ White Talent: Big Eater! ]
[ Third-layer Qi Refining cultivation! ]
[ Six years' experience pulling weeds! ]
[ All the insights and experiences gained in the simulation! ]
In the end, Su Ming chose the cultivation reward.
In an instant, spiritual energy flowed into his body, and his cultivation immediately broke through to the third layer of Qi Refining.
"Phew. So this is what the power of the third layer of Qi Refining feels like..."
Feeling the strength coursing through his body, Su Ming was incredibly comfortable.
After his first simulation, Su Ming hurried to pull weeds. An hour later, after completing the task, he returned to his Cave Mansion.
"Wang Hao's older brother..."
By then, his simulation attempt had refreshed, and he started another simulation.
[ Drawing a random Talent! ]
[ Congratulations, you've obtained the Purple Talent: Innate Spirit Body. ]
[ Innate Spirit Body: Your spirit body makes you more attuned to spiritual energy. Cultivating is as easy as drinking water, and your cultivation speed has increased dramatically. ]
A Purple Talent?
It was actually a Purple Talent!
Su Ming had never expected to draw a Purple Talent in his second simulation.
[ Year one: You made up for the weakness of your Spiritual Root with the advantage of your Innate Spirit Body, successfully breaking through to the fourth layer of Qi Refining. ]
[ After seeing your cultivation speed soar, Wang Hao stopped demanding your Spirit Stones. ]
[ Having already been killed by the mysterious person people called Wang Hao's older brother, you chose not to attack Wang Hao. ]
[ You knew you weren't strong enough to stand against that person yet, so you chose to lie low for the time being. ]
[ Year three: You successfully broke through to the fifth layer of Qi Refining. Your rapid progress caught the attention of an Outer Disciple Deacon, who recommended you to become an Outer Disciple of Azure Cloud Sect. ]
[ From then on, you no longer had to do Menial Disciple tasks. You could cultivate normally, take on sect missions, and receive cultivation resources. ]
[ Year four: With cultivation resources at your disposal, your progress was rapid, and you broke through to the sixth layer of Qi Refining. ]
[ Year six: You successfully broke through to the seventh layer of Qi Refining. Azure Cloud Sect's once-every-three-years Sect Grand Competition began as well. ]
[ But you chose not to stand out too much. You understood the art of laying low, and deliberately hid your cultivation and lost the competition. ]
[ Year nine: Another Sect Grand Competition was held. Even though you were now at the eighth layer of Qi Refining, you still chose not to show what you could do. ]
[ Year fifteen: You decided this year's Sect Grand Competition was the time to show your abilities. You were already at the tenth layer of Qi Refining and on the verge of Foundation Establishment. ]
[ But you were penniless and couldn't afford a Foundation Establishment Pill. Your only option was to place in the Sect Grand Competition and win one. ]
[ Although you were at the tenth layer of Qi Refining, you hadn't spent much time cultivating techniques. In the end, you only placed in the top ten. ]
[ Fortunately, you still won a Foundation Establishment Pill. ]
[ After the competition ended, the ten of you were led into a secret chamber by an Outer Disciple elder. ]
[ The elder handed out the Foundation Establishment Pills and told you to take them there and break through. ]
[ You wanted to return and take yours later, but the elder insisted. With no other choice, you took the pill and tried to break through. ]
[ After taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, you soon broke through to Foundation Establishment. ]
[ After your breakthrough, you lost consciousness. ]
[ You died! ]
