During these ten years, Mo Chen constantly urged you to break through to Foundation Establishment, but you were never able to do so. Gradually, he began to grow disappointed in you.
In the following years, Mo Chen stopped providing you with Spiritual Herbs and rarely came to see you again.
In the twenty-first year, ever since finding that feeling last time, you had never found it again. At this point, you realized that your Spiritual Root was simply too poor.
In the twenty-second year, you frantically gathered Spiritual Herbs that could restore Soul Power, attempting to trigger a Qualitative Change through sheer quantity.
In the twenty-third year, you made every possible preparation and took out the Foundation Establishment Pill for one final charge.
The Foundation Establishment Pill entered your stomach, and a wave of heat swiftly spread through your entire body.
Thanks to years of accumulation, you quickly broke through to Foundation Establishment. Yet after doing so, you did not dare relax in the slightest, focusing all your attention on catching the abnormalities within your body.
Very soon, you felt a strange current of spiritual power surge from your abdomen into your sea of consciousness, pouncing straight at your soul.
Having prepared for every contingency, you grabbed the Spiritual Herbs you had readied and shoved them directly into your mouth, then used your Soul Power to resist the Sinister Worm's gnawing.
However, this Sinister Worm was absurdly powerful. Without even the slightest ability to fight back, you were devoured clean.
You fell unconscious...
At the instant before you lost consciousness, you heard a familiar voice.
"Trash, I told you long ago to break through to Foundation Establishment. Was there any point in resisting for so many years? Why do you think I gave you those Spiritual Herbs? Wasn't it to keep you from successfully awakening?"
You died...
Activated Talent: Soul Return. On the first day after your death, your soul returned to the Qingyun Sect.
You saw your own familiar face, as well as someone you never expected—Ye Chuxue!
Ye Chuxue had been crippled and dragged back. She glared at you and roared.
"I knew it. How could someone in the Qi Refining Stage possibly awaken? There has never been such an example since ancient times. I regret telling you all this. I should have killed you with one palm strike back then. At least I wouldn't have ended up like this."
Your time for Soul Return had run out. You left the Qingyun Sect!
Ding! Simulation ended. Choose one of the following rewards. 1: Great Perfection cultivation of the Qi Refining Tenth Layer 2: Second-grade Alchemist at Great Perfection 3: All remaining spirit stones from this simulation 4: All genuine insights from this simulation 5: The Talent Soul Return from this simulation!
Seeing this, Su Ming chose the reward of a Second-grade Alchemist at Great Perfection without hesitation.
"Looks like that old fox Mo Chen had been harboring ill intentions all along."
From the final simulation, he had obtained several highly useful pieces of information.
First, the reason the Sinister Worm he faced when breaking through to Foundation Establishment in the simulation had been so powerful was most likely Mo Chen's doing. There was definitely something wrong with the Spiritual Herbs Mo Chen had given him.
Second, after his breakthrough failed and the Sinister Worm took over his body, it was clear that the worm possessed the ability to read memories.
After learning Ye Chuxue's identity, it had immediately sent people to capture her.
The last point, and the most important one, was that for him, the only way to break through to Foundation Establishment was to reach the Extreme Realm of Qi Refining.
His failure to break through this time was not because this path was impossible, but because his Spiritual Root was too poor, and he had not drawn a good Talent.
On the Simulator's settlement page just now, he had noticed a slight change.
Previously, the cultivation settlement had always been Great Perfection of Qi Refining, but this time it was Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Tenth Layer.
"Interesting!"
At that thought, the corners of Su Ming's mouth lifted slightly.
For the time being, he did not plan to rush into another simulation. He intended to stabilize his cultivation first and familiarize himself with the Soul Power of a Second-grade Alchemist.
The next day, when you emerged from your closed-door cultivation, you discovered someone calling for you outside the Cave Mansion.
"Su Ming! Su Ming, you piece of trash, get out here!"
Hearing this, Su Ming frowned and walked outside. The moment he saw that it was Wang Hao, he understood.

"So you really are here. Why didn't you go work today, you trash?"
When Wang Hao saw Su Ming come out, he stepped forward and tried to slap him.
But Su Ming was no longer the Su Ming of before. Without hesitation, he slapped Wang Hao to the ground.
Su Ming walked over and crouched halfway before Wang Hao, looking at the blood-filled mouth of the man before him. He could not help shaking his head.
Wang Hao, lying on the ground, was completely dumbfounded. When he felt the powerful pressure of the Qi Refining Tenth Layer radiating from Su Ming, he began begging for mercy.
"Su... Su Ming, I was wrong. I'm sorry. P-please... let me go, okay?"
"Oh? You were wrong? What were you wrong about?"
Su Ming looked at Wang Hao with a sinister smile.
But in Wang Hao's eyes, that smile was simply that of a demon.
"I understand, I understand!"
Very quickly, Wang Hao handed Su Ming a ring.
"These are all the spirit stones I took from you over the years. I'm giving every last one back today."
"Please let me go, okay? It was all because I failed to recognize Mount Tai before my eyes!"
Su Yuan snatched the ring away and said coldly.
"Not enough!"
"W-what? Not enough?"
Wang Hao widened his eyes at Su Ming's icy gaze and gritted his teeth.
"This is my Storage Ring. It contains all my spirit stones. I'll give them all to you. Please let me go, okay?"
Wang Hao deeply regretted coming to find Su Ming today. At the same time, he viciously marked Su Ming down in his heart.
Once he returned and found his older brother, he would surely be able to kill Su Yuan and take the spirit stones back.
"That's more like it!"
After taking the ring, Su Ming slowly rose to his feet.
Seeing this, Wang Hao secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Thank heavens! Thank heavens! My life is saved. Su Ming, just you wait!
Though he hated Su Ming deep down, his face wore a fawning expression.
"Junior Brother Su, I've given you all my spirit stones. Can I leave now?"
Looking at Wang Hao's ingratiating face, the corners of your mouth lifted slightly.
"You can. Go on, then."
"Alright, Junior Brother Su. I'll never cause you trouble again."
With that, Wang Hao fled Su Ming's Cave Mansion without even looking back.
However, the moment he reached the entrance of the Cave Mansion, a cold flash swept past. Wang Hao only felt a chill at his neck as the entire world began to spin upside down.
"Huh? That looks like my body. What happened to me?"
His head separated from his body. Su Ming walked over to Wang Hao's corpse.
"I said I would let you leave, but I never said I would spare you."
After dealing with Wang Hao's corpse, Su Ming knew that Wang Hao had an older brother. However, he was only a Qi Refining Eighth Layer cultivator and posed no threat to him.
What mattered most now was finding a way to break through to Foundation Establishment as quickly as possible.
After tidying everything up, Su Ming opened the Simulator once more.
