Chapter 8: Simulating Again

Currently, he did not need the first item, battle experience. With his Seventh-grade strength, combined with his solid grasp of swordsmanship, there wouldn't be any opponent in this small town who could challenge him.

As for the third item, the ancient recipe for the Elixir of Marrow Cleansing, apart from the daunting 3000 Taoyun points required, the outcome of dying from taking the elixir in this simulated life also made him hold back.

His research years in this simulated life had ended in such a disastrous way. Hence, even if he got the recipe for the Elixir of Marrow Cleansing, would he be able to actually produce it? That would be a joke.

So after some thought, Pei Xuanjing chose the second choice.

Instantly, a reservoir of knowledge filled his mind, educating him on how to cultivate the third level of "Leaving Fire Skill" and how to integrate two types of cultivation styles based on his own experience and insights.

The "Yi Wood Skill" that Pei Xuanjing was practicing currently had only three levels. It could only support him up to the Seventh-grade Martial Artist. If he wanted to further break through, apart from using the simulator, he also had to figure out a way to acquire the rest of the "Yi Wood Skill".

He felt that even if he broke through to the Sixth Grade using the simulator, without the corresponding skills, he wouldn't be able to fully utilize the strength of a Sixth Grade Martial Artist.

He even harbored a slight worry. Inner cultivation for Martial Artists was different from external cultivation. The transformation of Inner Qi into True Qi and then using True Qi to nourish the internal organs laid the foundation for the process of strengthening the organs and blood.

One must know that the internal organs were one of the most important parts of the body. If any mistake were to occur, not only could it result in hidden future risks and unstable foundations, but the hopeful future transition would be hopeless, even the possibility of all years of hard work being in vain could not be excluded.

Although "Yi Wood Skill" has more methods in later stages, from Pei Xuanjing's current standpoint, there aren't many opportunities to search for them. Therefore, he argued that he would extrapolate the method himself.

The Five Elements interact and reciprocate, Wood can generate Fire.

If he could integrate "Yi Wood Skill" with "Leaving Fire Skill" after he acquired it, reaching the stage of Wood generates Fire, there may be another path forward.

Although this round of simulation failed, his gains were considerable.

Despite having enough accumulated Taoyun points for another round, Pei Xuanjing did not plan on immediate repeat simulation.

Firstly, each round of simulated life seems simple but involves considerable mental strain. Every simulation left him extremely fatigued, so it is best to rest for a while.

The next reason was that since acquiring the knowledge on cultivation of the third level of "Leaving Fire Skill" and the integration of the two skills, it would be better to first cultivate "Leaving Fire Skill" to the third level, keeping the two techniques leveled to balance the Inner Qi within his body before further study.

As days and nights passed, within the next month, Pei Xuanjing quickly cultivated "Leaving Fire Skill" to the third level, reaching an equilibrium in his internal Fire and Wood Qi, creating fire with wood, and borrowing the force of wood, his realm might not have breached, but his combat power has improved by more than ten percent.

During this period, Jiang Yan has successfully broken through to become a Ninth-grade Martial Artist. He expressed his gratitude to Pei Xuanjing in various ways. However, the intention to leave was also very clear in his words.

Pei Xuanjing asked Mr. Xu to arrange for him to leave. After Jiang Yan left, he started looking for trouble with the Zhang family. His actions attracted a lot of attention, making Pei Xuanjing's side much quieter.

Once Pei Xuanjing regained his strength and health, he started the next round of simulation.

[TaoYun: 1349 points.]

[Would you like to use the Life Simulator? Each use costs 1000 TaoYun points.]

Pei Xuanjing did not hesitate and chose 'Yes'.

[There are 50 Roads to Tao, the world has forty-nine, The one left behind! Hence, all living creatures in the world have a thread of vitality!]

Eighteen years old: You have broken through to the Seventh Grade Realm and cultivated both skills to the third level. However, you discover that relentless cultivation is of no avail and this small town can't provide any help in your cultivation, so you decide to leave.

Twenty years old: After leaving the small town, with the strength of a Seventh-grade Martial Artist, after a year of polishing, with your swordsmanship that has achieved perfection, you've garnered quite a reputation and are regarded as a genius.

At this time, there were rumors that a Blessed Land Forbidden Area has emerged. Encouraged by some friends, you go with them.

You initially thought that this was just a regular adventure. Even if there were dangers, you could rely on your own strength to come out unscathed.

Three months later, the Blessed Land Forbidden Area closes. Some people leave fulfilling their desires, some does not win anything but keeps their lives, while others die, flushing away years of hard work.

You narrowly escape with your life in a clash for a piece of Spiritual Medicine, but not without sustaining severe injuries. You swallow the Spiritual Medicine to heal yourself during a closed-door cultivation, unaware that you missed the closing time of the Blessed Land Forbidden Area.

A month later, you wake up from the closed-door cultivation, knowing that you are trapped but are not discouraged, believing that there is still hope.

Twenty-five years old: You have been trapped for five years. During these five years, you seek an exit while developing cultivation techniques.

Twenty-eight years old: After nine years, you manage to integrate the two types of Inner Qi present in your body. Taking advantage of this opportunity, you manage to fully understand the cultivation methods and, based on "Yi Wood Skill" and "Leaving Fire Skill," you create a new technique known as "Yi Wood and Li Fire Skill." This method might currently have only four levels, but it's enough for you to break through to the Sixth Grade.

Thirty-three years old: You break through barriers, transformed your Inner Qi into True Qi, breaking through to the Sixth Grade. You start nourishing your internal organs with True Qi, establishing your position as an expert. Regrettably, you are still trapped within the Forbidden Place.

Forty years old: You die due to a cultivation deviation while practicing techniques.

[End of this life.]

The outcome of this simulated life was not exactly rosy, but Pei Xuanjing had already grown accustomed to this.

Reflecting on the ends of his many simulated experiences, there were hardly any instances of dying a natural death. It seemed that aside from this normal death, any other accidental cause of death was possible.

There are some things you will get used to after experiencing it so many times and won't pay much attention to.

His main concern at the moment was the rewards he would obtain from this simulation.
