After Zheng Qi left, Ling Yi slowly stood up, turned around and sat on a soft cushion in the corner of the cell, preparing to start a new Simulation.
I checked the system interface; I have 181 Karmic Luck Points.
181 Karmic Luck Points, most of which were provided by Pang Qi next door.
Throughout the entire first floor of the prison, only Pang Qi was able to quickly increase Ling Yi's Karmic Luck Points, to about 110 points.
The remaining part, which was provided by Zheng Qi earlier, is about 30 points.
"These Karmic Luck Points are easier to collect than I expected, but only if you have someone with Karmic Luck by your side."
Ling Yi thought to himself, "Take this flower thief Pang Qi, for example."
Taking a deep breath, Ling Yi continued the Simulation.
[On the 13th day of the 1208th year of the Great Qian Qianli reign, having obtained your Qi and Blood Pill, you continued your frenzied cultivation. You knew very well that to survive, you couldn't rely on the Void the Ethereal of hope offered by the Third Prince; only absolute strength mattered.]
These comments are even accusing me of self-deception/PUA?
However, what he said makes sense.
The so-called "last chance" simply means handing your fate over to someone else.
When you possess invincible strength, why would you need a sliver of hope?
[After a night of cultivation, consuming fifty Qi and Blood Pill, your strength has directly broken through to the Second Pin Perfection, just one step away from becoming Third Pin Martial Practitioner. At dawn, the jailer Tang Sanshan came to deliver food. While you were eating, Pang Qi from next door asked you for some food.]
[Severely injured and with all his cultivation destroyed, plus having only eaten a couple of mouthfuls of thin porridge last night, Pang Qi was indeed struggling to hold on. You ignored him, finished all your food, and continued cultivating.]
[Around noon, Pang Qi pleaded for food again, but you still ignored him.]
[Three days later, you've used up about half of your Qi and Blood Pill, and your cultivation has finally broken through to the Third Pin Organ Refining Realm. This is the last realm of the Lower Third Pin, but these Qi and Blood Pill are clearly not enough to reach the Fourth Pin Marrow Refining Realm.]
[Meanwhile, Pang Qi next door was now extremely haggard, surviving on only a few mouthfuls of porridge each day. Even a man of iron couldn't endure that, let alone someone like Pang Qi who was used to a life of luxury.]
[He wants to make a deal with you: a hearty meal in exchange for a martial arts technique. You're interested in Pang Qi's technique; to become a womanizer and repeatedly escape capture, you must possess some decent martial arts skills.]
[Although you have now become Martial Practitioner, your only means of combat is the Overbearing Fist. The Overbearing Fist may be powerful, but if you encounter someone with Qinggong movement skills and proficiency in light footwork, you may become a sitting duck.]
[Moreover, having more methods of dealing with enemies is never a bad thing, but instead of immediately ignoring Pang Qi, you summoned Tang Sanshan, whispered a few words in his ear, and then continued your repairs.]
Seeing this, Ling Yi scratched his head. "Damn it, why not just say it out loud instead of whispering something?"
Would you call this me protecting myself?
[That evening, the jailer Tang Sanshan brought food again, but this time it was double. This time, you took the initiative to speak to Pang Qi and proposed your terms of exchange.]
[You can ensure Pang Qi has three full meals a day, but on the condition that Pang Qi teaches you all his martial arts skills and gives you all his wealth.]
[The last condition was something you came up with on the spur of the moment. Whether it will be beneficial is uncertain, but unexpectedly, Pang Qi agreed.]
[You guess that Pang Qi already knew he was doomed, and since he was all alone and couldn't take his possessions with him when he died, he simply didn't want to suffer too much before he died.]
Is that really the case? Ling Yi has a feeling that there's something wrong with Pang Qi.
He didn't know exactly where the problem was, but there was definitely something wrong.
[Over the next few days, you practiced the Overbearing Fist during the day and learned martial arts techniques from Pang Qi at night. In three days, you learned the Mystic Grade Light Body technique, Cloud-Treading Steps, the Mystic Grade martial art, Mysterious Jade Art, and the Mystic Grade combat skill, Mysterious Jade Hand, from Pang Qi.]
[Through your conversation with Pang Qi, you've gained a clearer understanding of the martial arts techniques and Martial Practitioner in this world, which has greatly benefited you.]
[On the eighth day, your Qi and Blood Pill have been completely depleted. The good news is that you have successfully reached the Organ Refining Realm Perfection and Entry the Cloud-Treading Steps, the Mysterious Jade Art, and the Mysterious Jade Hand. You are increasingly aware of the wonder of martial arts.]
[Without the Qi and Blood Pill, you stopped practicing the Overbearing Fist and began focusing solely on the Cloud-Treading Steps, the Mysterious Jade Art, and the Mysterious Jade Hand, filling your daily training time to the brim.]
[On the tenth night, the men in black reappeared. This time, you chose to take the initiative. Caught off guard, the leader of the men in black was struck by the Mysterious Jade Hand, wounded and spitting blood. Enraged, the leader retaliated.]
[You fought the man in black for over ten rounds, but ultimately you were no match for him. A sword pierced your throat, and you died in agony.]
[And just before you died, you heard the man in black say in an incredulous voice, "This boy must have cultivated an extremely powerful Dharma School for concealing his Aura, otherwise he would never have been unable to Perception even the slightest trace of Martial Practitioner's Aura."]
[Ding! This Simulation has ended. Please choose one of the following rewards!]
[Bonus 1: Simulation Memories!]
[Reward 2: 10% of your cultivation level!]
[Reward 3: 500 Qi and Blood Pill!]
Ling Yi didn't immediately choose the reward, but instead scrolled up to look at the Simulation records.
Although he still didn't survive ten days and was killed by the men in black, Ling Yi was not discouraged at all; on the contrary, he was very excited.
Because Ling Yi, at the peak of the Third Pin Perfection, was able to injure the leader of the men in black and fight him for more than ten rounds.
what does that mean?
This means that these men in black are not as strong as imagined; at most, they are only Fourth Pin Martial Practitioner.
This reveals another piece of information.
These people were unaware of the true cultivation level of the Third Prince, Liu Zheng.
Otherwise, the person behind the scenes would never have sent several Fourth Pin Martial Practitioner to Thrusting Liu Zheng.
It should be noted that Liu Zheng is Sixth Pin Qi Condensation Realm Perfection expert, just half a step away from becoming a Seventh Pin Martial Practitioner.
If the man in black knew the Third Prince's true strength, how dare he attempt to Thrusting with only Fourth Pin skill?
"This third prince really is a Old Liu."
"An extremely powerful Dharma School for concealing Aura?" Ling Yi scrolled through the last few comments.
Ling Yi definitely hasn't cultivated any Dharma School to conceal his Aura.
Why can't the opponent Perception my Martial Practitioner Aura?
Martial Practitioner can Perception each other's approximate cultivation level by observing the Aura of their Qi and Blood, Qi Jin, True Yuan, and Spiritual Power.
For example, Ling Yi can now Perception the Aura of Qi and Blood and qi emanating from the four prison guards outside the cell.
They can judge their cultivation level by the strength of their Qi and Blood.
Unless one has cultivated a technique to conceal one's Aura, it is impossible to hide one's own Aura.
Of course, even if the opponent has Dharma School to conceal their Aura, it's useless, because Ling Yi can view the data panel.
Ling Yi couldn't help but think back to his transaction with Zheng Qi that afternoon.
Clearly, Zheng Qi was unaware that he had become Martial Practitioner.
"This must be a hidden feature of the system; it completely conceals one's Aura, which saves me a lot of trouble," Ling Yi couldn't help but chuckle.
"System, I choose reward 1!"
As Ling Yi made his choice, a vast amount of memories flooded into Ling Yi mind.
The ten days of memories in the Simulation flashed through my mind like a fleeting glimpse.
It was as if I had actually experienced all of these things myself.
The good news is that Ling Yi finally learned the details of what was previously just a few words or two in the comments, such as the hiding place of Pang Qi's wealth over the years.
For example, the martial arts techniques he learned from Pang Qi.
Ling Yi remembered everything clearly, and it was automatically added to the system's dictionary.
For example, the location where Pang Qi has hidden all his wealth accumulated over the years, and the information about Martial Practitioner that Pang Qi shared with him during their conversations.
But the most valuable of these memories are those about practicing martial arts techniques.
The bad news is that Ling Yi's final memories of death were also preserved in the Simulation.
Ling Yi shook his head and said with a wry smile, "The feeling of death is just too damn unbearable."
"It seems that every reward is very important. Comparatively speaking, if it weren't for the time constraints, the cultivation level reward would actually be the lowest of the three."
Ling Yi stroked his chin and murmured.
Are the item rewards the least valuable? No, no, no, the value of the item rewards is definitely not low.
It's important to understand that each Simulation is based on Ling Yi's Simulation state.
The stronger the foundation, the greater the benefits during the Simulation process.
Ling Yi had previously traded Wu Bai Qi and Blood Pill with Zheng Qi. If he were to choose a reward this time, he would choose another Wu Bai Qi and Blood Pill.
Ling Yi had a thousand Qi and Blood Pill in his hand.
The next time we Simulation, we won't have to worry about slow progress or even stagnation due to a lack of Qi and Blood Pill.
In his previous life, Ling Yi often heard the saying "the poor study literature, the rich study martial arts," but now, Ling Yi has a clear understanding of it.
Want to become Martial Practitioner without resources? Too difficult.
Especially before reaching the Sixth Pin Qi Condensation Realm in Martial Practitioner, a large number of Qi and Blood Pill or Qi and Blood Elixirs are needed to maintain normal cultivation consumption.
Only after reaching the Qi Condensation Realm, when one can absorb the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, can one completely get rid of the consumption of Qi and Blood.
For ordinary people with cultivation aptitude, becoming First Pin Martial Practitioner is not difficult; they just need to eat a lot and eat well. If they rely on hard work over time, they also have a chance to become Second Pin Martial Practitioner.
However, becoming Martial Practitioner of Third Pin or higher is almost impossible.
Therefore, material rewards are very important.
Memory rewards are like having Precognition of the future.
Its value goes without saying.
With a thought, Ling Yi opened his system interface.
