"System, are you screwing with me?" Mu Xingqi could not help but curse.
What kind of Simulator came with a Simulation Talent called "Love for the Male" right from the start?
Was he, Mu Xingqi, that kind of person?
Wasn't this just screwing people over?!
[Another month passed. Although the disciples had grown distant from you, you did not take it to heart. You calmly accepted your preferences.] [You believed that love should be faced openly.]
"Fuck!" Mu Xingqi could only rage helplessly. The system was like an inanimate object, doing nothing but scroll its subtitles.
[A year later, because you spent your days fooling around, your cultivation remained at Qi Refining Layer One.] [Since you did not suppress your preferences, your love for men gradually spread throughout the clan.] [Your parents spoke with you.] [After receiving your answer, your mother fainted from anger on the spot. Your father was also furious and declared that he had no son like you.] [You believed their way of thinking was too outdated.] [You continued to stand by your ways.] [In less than a month, word of your fondness for men spread like wildfire throughout the clan.] [Whenever the male disciples of the clan saw you, they gave you a wide berth.] [You found it difficult to interact with male disciples within the clan.] [A month later, you decided to descend the mountain and head to Jinzhou City.] [Your Mu Family was one of Jinzhou City's three great Foundation Establishment Families, and you knew a little about Jinzhou City.] [The next day, you set out for Jinzhou City. As you descended the mountain, you vaguely felt a gaze fixed upon you, but it vanished in an instant, so you did not take it to heart.] [After traveling for an hour, you arrived at Jinzhou City.] [You learned of Jinzhou City's most famous Male Brothel, a brothel for male prostitutes.] [You arrived at the Male Brothel.] [You summoned the Male Brothel's most famous courtesan to serve you.] [You became immersed in it, unable to pull yourself free.] [Only after spending every Spirit Stone on your person did you return to the clan with a long sigh.] [Whenever you had Spirit Stones in hand, you went to the Male Brothel.] [Your complexion gradually darkened, and your blood and qi became weak and unsteady. It was presumably the consequence of excessive indulgence.] [A month later, you came to the Male Brothel again. This time, the brothel's manager specifically recommended a newly arrived courtesan to you.] [You understood at once and decisively named your price.] [You met the new courtesan. He truly was a handsome man, and he appeared to be around your age.] [You were very satisfied.] [Afterward, the handsome man tearfully poured out his heart to you.] [He said that he had originally been the son of the Li Family Patriarch of Jinzhou City, named Li Qingyun. But his family had accidentally offended the Wang Family.] [The Wang Family was also one of Jinzhou City's three great Foundation Establishment Families. The Li Family, however, was merely a tiny Qi Cultivation Family.] [In the end, the Li Family was exterminated by the Wang Family. The women of the family were all sold into brothels, while the men were either killed or sold.] [His cultivation was crippled, and he was sold to the Male Brothel to sell his body.] [Looking at Li Qingyun crying his heart out before you, you sympathized with him, but there was nothing you could do.] [You could only come often to support Li Qingyun's business.] [A month later, you left the Male Brothel in exhaustion.] [The moment you left Jinzhou City, two figures blocked your path.] ["This road was opened by us, this tree was planted by us..." The two spoke in turns. You immediately understood that they were Robbing Cultivators.] [You took out your storage pouch and offered it to them, stating outright that you did not have a single Spirit Stone on you.] [The two Robbing Cultivators flew into a rage, drew their Spirit Artifacts, and charged at you.] [Since you spent every Spirit Stone you obtained at the Male Brothel, you did not even possess a decent Spirit Artifact. You could only dodge helplessly.] [But your waist had become frail from prolonged exertion, and with your blood and qi depleted, your reactions and movements had become as slow as a crawling turtle.] [A Robbing Cultivator cut off your head with a single slash.] [You died.] [Before your consciousness faded, you saw the two Robbing Cultivators spit at you. They did not forget to mock you: "Fucking bad luck. We thought you were some young master from those clothes, but you turned out to be a penniless useless bastard..."]
"Ah?"
"That's it?"
Mu Xingqi was speechless at his simulated self as well.
With the absurd Simulation Talent of "Love for the Male" empowering him, his simulated self did not do a single proper thing.
He spent every day at the Male Brothel. Mu Xingqi had originally thought that his simulated self would eventually die from depleted blood and qi.
Who would have thought that two Robbing Cultivators would appear halfway through and hack him to death outright?
[Simulation ended. You may choose one of the following rewards.] [Qi Refining Layer One Cultivation: You have just completed Qi Induction.] [Practical experience at the Male Brothel: A summary of your practical experience from the past year at the Male Brothel.] [Male disciples' clothing from the clan: Clothing you stole from male disciples of the clan, most of it intimate apparel.]
Without even thinking, Mu Xingqi chose the Qi Refining Layer One Cultivation.
Did that even need thinking?
What the hell were the other two choices?
As the surrounding spiritual qi instantly gathered and poured into Mu Xingqi's body, his cultivation successfully broke through to Qi Refining Layer One.
"So this is the Qi Cultivation Realm?" Though he could only draw upon the tiniest trace of spiritual power now, he could already sense its profound mysteries.
After contemplating it once more, Mu Xingqi rose and stepped outside.
Their home could be considered a very standard Siheyuan.
He lived in the eastern wing, while his father and mother lived in the main house. The western wing was currently empty.
However, because his parents were both very busy and often did not even return home to sleep, he was now the only one living in the entire Siheyuan. It felt somewhat empty and lonely.
The next day
Mu Xingqi rose early and began cultivating his technique.
It was said that the Mu Family's ancestor had been a Half-Step Golden Core powerhouse named Muye Mountain.
The Mu Family's current clan grounds, Muye Mountain, had been named after that ancestor.
The Wood Spirit Body Cultivation Technique passed down by Ancestor Muye Mountain was the Mu Family's lineage-defining cultivation technique.
The Wood Spirit Body Cultivation Technique was a High-grade Spirit Tier technique, one that ranked among the very best in all of Jinzhou City.
As far as Mu Xingqi knew, cultivation techniques, Spirit Artifacts, spirit treasures, and the like were divided from low to high into: Yellow, Spirit, Mystic, Earth, and Heaven.
They respectively corresponded to cultivation realms from Qi Cultivation to Spirit Transformation.
The Mu Family's lineage-defining Wood Spirit Body Cultivation Technique was Spirit Tier, corresponding to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
And it was even High-grade Spirit Tier!
Therefore, among the clan's young disciples who awakened Spirit Roots, anyone possessing a Wood Spiritual Root would basically choose this technique without exception.
As for Mu Xingqi, he possessed a Five Spirit Root and could cultivate virtually any technique, so he naturally chose the Wood Spirit Body Cultivation Technique.
Although he had already completed Qi Induction and broken through to Qi Refining Layer One,
that had been forcibly raised through the Simulator. He still knew absolutely nothing about cultivation.
So he wanted to try cultivating the technique himself.
An hour later, Mu Xingqi set down the Bamboo Slip containing the technique with a troubled expression.
"Why is this technique as infuriating as Classical Chinese from my previous life? Is Chinese class still chasing me down to kill me?"
Mu Xingqi complained helplessly. He recognized every word on the Bamboo Slip, but why could he not understand them once they were put together?
He could barely understand a sentence or two, but when he followed them to circulate his qi, one problem after another emerged.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door...
