Squeak!
With the sound of a closing door, Medusa left the room, and Xiao Ming stood up from his seat and slowly lay down on the bed.
'I haven't had a chance to be alone and simulate for these days. I should use it now!' Xiao Ming pondered for a moment, then called out softly in his mind.
'Simulator.'
[Ding, the host has a chance to simulate life. Would you like to start the simulation?]
'Start the simulation.'
[Simulation begins -]
[Day 1: You and your companions find lodging in an inn. Sitting around a table, you engage in discussions on various matters. Eventually, your companions Zi Yan and Qing Lin left through a spatial rift.]
[Day 2: Soaring through the sky alongside your companions, you come across a massive flock of Dragon Claw Crimson Eagles. The group is led by a seventh-rank magical beast. You decide to capture it as a mount, but it resists fiercely. Eventually, your companion, Venerable Tian Huo, subdues it, and the magical beast becomes your captive.]
[Day 3: Perched on the back of the Dragon Claw Crimson Eagle, you spend a day traversing the skies.]

...
[Day 167: A member of the Ancient Void Tribe arrives, forcing you to come out of seclusion. All the medicinal herbs you prepared for the pill refinement, such as Thousand Illusion Galian, Nine-Tailed Dragon Orchid, Zhixue Grass, Cloud Mist Flower... are burned to ashes.

...
[Day 505: After refining some pills, you learn from Ye Xin Lan, a descendant of the Ye Clan, that there seems to be a new Bone Chilling Flame in the Fallen Spirit Ice Sourced. You know that this information is false, as the flame, although special, does not compare to a Heavenly Flame. You pay no attention to it.]
[Day 571: You successfully refine the Blood Moon Bodhi Pill, a seven-colored eighth-tier pill.]

Similarly, your childhood friend, Hu Jia, is also in seclusion for a breakthrough but will emerge in two days.]
[Day 1870: You take Hu Jia for a leisurely stroll around Jia Nan Academy, engaging in numerous conversations. You notice that she has matured significantly. As you bid her farewell, you present her with a protective jade pendant that can withstand attacks from a nine-star Dou Venerate.]
[Day 1872: Departing from Jia Nan Academy, you make your way to the Xiao Family in the Jia Ma Empire. To your surprise, you discover that the Snake-People Tribe has forged an alliance with the Jia Ma Empire, leading to the downfall of the Chu Yun Empire and the Luo Yan Empire. As a result, the Xiao Family now stands as the number one clan in the Jia Ma Empire.
Your return brings immense joy to the Xiao Family. On that day, you encounter your friend Xiao Shan and his daughter, to whom take a liking. Realizing her limited talent in cultivation, you present her with a Nirvana Lotus to aid in her foundation establishment. The night culminates with a grand banquet hosted by the Xiao Family, where you learn that Xiao Zhan has abdicated as the clan head.]

...
[Simulation ends -]
[Extracting talent items -]
[Currently available: <Cluster of Soul Essence> <Weed> <Seven-Colored Eighth-Tier Pill, "Blood Moon Bodhi Pill">]
'Soul Essence?!'
Xiao Ming's eyebrow raised in excitement as he gazed at the available option.
This was the Soul Essence! Just by observing himself repeatedly ambushing the branch halls of the Hall of Souls in the simulation, he knew how important this thing was. With the Soul Essence, his soul would soon be able to break through the Heaven Realm.
A Heaven Realm Soul was an essential prerequisite for refining ninth-tier Pills!
When his soul broke through to the Heaven Realm, there was no doubt that his alchemy skills would progress even faster than in the simulation. Moreover, the amplification of his combat power would be truly terrifying.
