Simulation Again

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Xiao Jie had successfully refined the Rejuvenation Pill. Although the success rate was only fifty percent, this was, after all, Xiao Jie's very first attempt at refining it.

As long as he practiced, his success rate would naturally improve. If word of this got out, it would surely shock everyone; to refine two types of first-grade pills in just three or four days without a teacher's guidance was a testament to his formidable talent.

Yet, Xiao Jie felt no great joy in his heart. To him, this was simply the result of having thoroughly digested all the pharmacological theories and pill formulas over the past two years. Furthermore, with his naturally powerful soul and meticulous mind, achieving this result after a few failures was well within his expectations.

Since his affairs as an alchemist had reached his expected goals for the time being, he now needed to learn Dou Techniques to arm himself. However, he looked down upon the Xiao Clan's techniques and could only cultivate those obtained from the simulator.

Now that he had exposed his talent as an alchemist, he could introduce a mysterious master as a protective umbrella, which would also provide an excuse for him to cultivate other techniques and skills.

If you ask where I got my cultivation methods and techniques? My master gave them to me. He is also a high-level alchemist—are you afraid yet?

It is perfectly reasonable for a high-level alchemist to take in a child who possesses both alchemical and cultivation talent as a disciple, right? Who would dare to probe deeper?

However, before cultivating any techniques, there was one more important thing he had to do.

'Simulator, begin life simulation!'

'Ding, current simulation count is one. Would you like to proceed with the life simulation?'

'Yes.'

'Ding, life simulation begins.'

'Day 1: You wake up from your cultivation and head to the Dou Technique Pavilion to select a technique.'

'Day 2: You cultivate the Crimson Flame Palm technique for the entire day.'

'Day 154: The clan holds another Dou Qi test. Your cultivation as a four-star Dou Practitioner shocks everyone, and your parents' eyes fill with tears of joy.'

'Day 163: Jia Nan Academy arrives in Wutan City to recruit students. You do not participate, as you decide to head to the Misty Cloud Sect to study.'

'Day 213: Because your clan leaks your intention to head to the Misty Cloud Sect, Sect Leader Yun Yun comes personally to take you as her personal disciple. However, you state that you already have a master and only intend to join the Misty Cloud Sect to study. Yun Yun has no choice but to drop the matter, as she believes your master might be a high-level alchemist with profound cultivation. She only needs you to join the Misty Cloud Sect; with this connection, your future growth will also benefit the sect.'

'Day 214: You and Yun Yun head to the Misty Cloud Sect. The sect places great importance on you, and your access to resources is significantly expanded.'

'Day 1,332: You break through to become a Dou Ling. You spar with a Dou Ling deacon of the Misty Cloud Sect and defeat the three-star Dou Ling deacon within thirty moves. You become the leader of the younger generation in the Misty Cloud Sect.'

'Day 2,438: You break through to become a Dou King, becoming the youngest Dou King powerhouse in the Jia Ma Empire and even the surrounding nations.'

'Day 2,479: You feel that relying solely on meditation to increase your cultivation is too slow, so you decide to go out and gain experience.'

'Day 2,528: You are searching for medicinal herbs in a Magical Beast Forest.'

'Day 2,541: You intrude into the territory of a seventh-rank magical beast and are easily killed by it.'

'Ding, this simulation has ended.'

'Current available items: Dou Ling Pill, Purple Spirit Ginseng, Xuan-tier intermediate Dou Technique: Wind Wall.'

Xiao Jie looked at the three options before him, weighing his choices in his heart.

'First, rule out the Wind Wall technique. If I want this, I can trade for it, but it's useless. I still have a few Dou Ling Pills, and the Purple Spirit Ginseng is a medicinal ingredient for the Purple Spirit Recovery Pill. I need to trade with Hai Bodong to get the map of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.'

'Simulator, select the Purple Spirit Ginseng.'

Xiao Jie opened his eyes and stored the Purple Spirit Ginseng into his storage ring. Looking at the storage rings in his hand, these four low-level rings seemed insufficient. It was necessary to add intermediate and high-level storage rings to the simulator's entries; perhaps he could draw them out.

After clearing his thoughts, he compared the benefits of going to the Misty Cloud Sect versus Jia Nan Academy. The Misty Cloud Sect didn't offer him significant advantages over Jia Nan Academy, and the sect also harbored a high-level Dou Ancestor from the Soul Hall—that protector who always went "Jie Jie Jie." So, it was better not to go. Next time, he would simulate what it would be like to head out on his own.

He shook his head and stepped outside to take a stroll, seeing if there was anything new. After all, staying at home to cultivate all the time required some relaxation.
