“If I destroy the bloodline, the Li Family will definitely be furious. I don’t know if I can escape alive.”
Wang Ping looked at the luminescent screen again, muttering to himself.
As Wang Ping looked over, the words on the screen reappeared.
[Next, you escape from the Li Family, shrink your body and change your appearance to hide and evade the Li Family’s pursuit.]
[Not long after, your actions are exposed. The reclusive Li Family Ancestor, after hearing the news, is enraged to the extreme. Your wife, Li Yan, faints in disbelief, unable to accept that you would commit such a heinous act.]
[Following this, the Li Family Ancestor offers a massive bounty on you, issuing a kill or capture order to the entire world. The entire Xia is shaken, and everyone is dumbfounded, never expecting that you, a 4th-tier alchemist, would betray the Li Family.]
[As time goes on, your fame even spreads to the Chu and Zhao States, making you well-known across the land. However, you don’t care, and continue to hide in obscurity, waiting to reemerge once your strength is enough.]
[Because you’re proficient in alchemy and can change your own body and appearance, you are not discovered while keeping a low profile.]
[At the end of Daya Calendar year 495, the Spiritual Realm Old Ancestor of the Xia Royal Family passes away, the vassals can no longer hold back, attempting to gather forces, establish themselves as kings, and covet the throne.]
[Among them, the Li Family also begins to support the northern vassal, Liu Yu.]
[Soon afterward, the imperial court is furious and wants to send troops to suppress the vassals. However, the vassals are too powerful, and it is difficult to suppress them. Chaos ensues in Xia territory. You continue to maintain a low profile, abiding your time to protect yourself. With the 7th-Tier Innate Realm cultivation, you’re not worried about dying in the chaos of Xia as long as you don’t expose yourself.]
[In Daya Calendar year 497, you break through to the 8th Tier of the Innate Realm. This year, the turmoil in Xia becomes even more terrifying, with heavy losses suffered by the imperial forces and vassals. Dead bodies are strewn across the land, and it can be called a living hell. The Chu State, neighboring Xia, intends to send troops to conquer Xia and annex it.]
[However, the Zhao State, neighboring Chu, does not want Chu to annex Xia and strengthen itself. As a result, they send a large number of troops to the border, forcing Chu to abandon its ambitions and station troops in the border city, preventing sudden invasion by Zhao.]
[At the end of the Daya Calendar year 499, your cultivation progresses further, reaching the Innate Realm 9th Tier. In the same year, the Xia Royal Family is overthrown, and the vassals begin a civil war to claim the throne. The various parties wage war on each other, causing great suffering to the common people.]
[In the Daya Calendar year 500, Bai Tianhong, who had broken through to the 7th Tier of the Spiritual Realm, could no longer bear to see the misery of the people of Xia and chooses to intervene, helping the vassal Liu Yu defeat the other vassals and ascend the throne.]
[After Liu Yu ascends the throne, he changes the name of the country to Shu, grants Bai Tianhong the title of Sword Saint of Shu, and designates the Sword Spirit Sect as the guardian sect of the kingdom. Peace is restored to the world, and order gradually returns.]
[The world’s peace has nothing to do with you, and you continue your secluded cultivation. Eventually, on the 7th day of the 5th month of Shu Calendar year 1, you successfully comprehend the Sword Spirit and become the unparalleled swordsman of the Shu Kingdom.]
[After comprehending the Sword Spirit, you are filled with confidence, believing that once you break through to the Spiritual Realm, there is nowhere in the world you cannot go.]
[However, things take an unexpected turn. The Li Family Ancestor somehow manages to find you. Despite comprehending the Sword Spirit, you fight a fierce battle with him but are unable to resist due to the massive gap in cultivation and are effortlessly killed by him.] [Due to your death, this simulation ends]
“How did that old guy find me?”
Wang Ping looked at the simulation content and frowned, puzzled.
Since he had successfully hidden for five or six years, it shouldn’t be so dramatic to be discovered.
However, the information revealed at the end was too limited; no matter how much Wang Ping thought about it, it was of no avail, so he had to give up pondering it.
Since he couldn’t think of an answer, he could only learn the truth through the simulation.
“Ding, reward generation successful. The host can choose two of the following rewards:
9th Tier Innate Realm cultivation.
@. All Elixir-refining experience.
Comprehended Sword Spirit.
Profound-tier top-grade sword technique – Refining Spirit Sword Manual.
White Talent:a benign face.
White Talent: Desiring to being a Devil.
Profound mid-tier cultivation skill – Fire Spirit Skill.”
“There are so many reward options this time, and I can choose two rewards what a big surprise!”
Wang Ping was slightly astonished.
Immediately afterward, Wang Ping began to ponder his choices.
He could rule out the two White Talents.
Next were the Refining Spirit Sword Manual and Fire Spirit Skill.
As long as they can be used as rewards, they should be able to grant him all the experience he had in their cultivation during the simulation, right?
Even for a skill like Fire Spirit Skill, it might be directly maxed out.
A cultivator’s strength generally comes from three aspects: cultivation, cultivation skill, and martial arts.
Cultivation goes without saying, while the difference in grade of Cultivation Skill brings about a huge difference in strength.
For the same Fire Attribute skill, the quality of Innate True Spirit cultivated from a Profound low-tier skill and a Profound mid-tier skill would be vastly different, and the power of the same martial arts would also vary greatly.
At the same time, there’s a difference in the speed of absorbing spiritual energy, converting efficiency, and recovering True Qi.
Hence, the importance of Cultivation Skill to a cultivator is self-evident.
Besides that, Cultivation Skills also have tiers; reaching different tiers of the skill will yield different levels of power.
Fire Spirit Skill has a total of six tiers. Each time you break through a tier, the quality and quantity of True Qi would increase significantly, becoming even more blazing.
“Although the Refining Spirit Sword Manual is good, it can’t be more important than Cultivation Skill. If I choose Cultivation Skill, I won’t have to keep studying it in the future, and I could maximize my cultivation efficiency.” Wang Ping analyzed the situation.
“However, the time saved because of maxing out Fire Spirit Skill is, after all, not as good as directly choosing the 9th Tier Innate Realm cultivation. This is a realm that I cultivated in the simulation for a full 20 years, based on the peak of the 10th Tier Post-Heaven Realm.’
Wang Ping looked at the first option.
If Fire Spirit Skill were an Earth-tier skill, he would definitely consider it higher priority than cultivation, but it’s only a Profound mid-tier skill, which is a bit too low in the end.
Apart from that, the Sword Spirit also intrigued Wang Ping.
After all, it was something he comprehended after practicing the sword for 20 years.
Of course, as for this simulation, in order to gain the trust and attention of the Li Family, he undoubtedly focused all his efforts on Alchemy. Otherwise, whether it was cultivation or Sword Spirit, his progress would have been much faster.
“In addition, the 4th Tier alchemist is also tempting. After all, the remaining spiritual stones I have aren’t enough to support me for several more simulations, so I have to find a way to earn a lot of spiritual stones in the future. I guess only Alchemy can meet my requirements.”
Wang Ping looked at the second option and murmured to himself..contemporary romance
