82: Chapter 82, the first seven-colored entry.

"Master?"

Watching the young girl on the stage so effortlessly defeat that prodigy known as the "Number One Person under Foundation Establishment on Doujian Peak", Lin Bufan felt that he had been conned by this old man.

This didn't make any sense...

The Ring Old Man couldn't help but doubt his own judgment either, but adhering to the principle of never losing face in front of his disciple, he continued to con... put on a profound air and said:

"It doesn't matter. Once I, your Master, pass down a supreme cultivation method to you one day, it won't be hard to defeat her."

"Can't we do it now?"

"What do you know? Your cultivation is still too low right now, you must not bite off more than you can chew. Today, this old man must have a serious chat with you..."

"..."

In the subsequent matches, Lin Qingyu unpretentiously struck down her opponents with a single sword all the way, taking an unpretentious championship, and finally obtained an unpretentious Qiming Pill.

The world of geniuses was perhaps just this plain and boring...

After leaving everyone with the impression that she was impossible to defeat no matter how hard they tried, Lin Qingyu hid her achievements and fame, quietly retreated, and returned to her own immortal cave.

"You've got some nerve, Lin Qingyu!"

As soon as she entered the immortal cave, a petite figure pounced straight at her. Before Lin Qingyu could make any reaction, her back heavily pressed against the stone wall.

Lowering her head to look, she saw a little loli raising her face, pressing huffily into her embrace.

Lin Qingyu was momentarily stunned.

"Senior Sister Linger?"

This little loli was precisely Luo Linger. Lin Qingyu had merely replicated the answers from the simulation, and she had naturally become friends with her, already acquiring a foundational lightning-attribute spell—Lightning-Guiding Finger.

"Humph! You actually snuck out to play by yourself and didn't take me!"

Luo Linger was extremely dissatisfied.

Half a year ago, this good sister actually sneaked out of the sect alone to venture into the cultivation world by herself.

Being restricted from leaving the sect was certainly uncomfortable, but her friend's freedom made her even more anxious and restless, unable to eat or sleep peacefully.

Tsk~ A mere small-fry loli.

Lin Qingyu's red lips curved slightly.

Half an incense stick's time later, the little loli no longer knew what anger was, and happily left hopping and skipping with a pile of mortal toys.

"It's finally quiet."

After a bath and cleansing herself, Lin Qingyu changed into a loose, elegant long robe, leaning lazily against the couch, her gaze falling quietly onto the virtual panel floating before her eyes.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the task: Sweep the Doujian Peak Grand Competition!]

[Reward obtained: Simulation Attempts * 3]

[As the righteous path's number one fairy, not only is your appearance world-shaking, but you have also displayed peerless talent and peerless combat power among your peers. However, to the sect, your say is still too small.]

[Task issued now: Make a Name in Tianxuan.]

[Please sweep through the prodigies of various sects in the Tianxuan Secret Realm ten years from now, and spread the prestige of our Sword Sect.]

[Task reward: Simulation Attempts * 3]

Looking at the two characters "ten years" on the panel, Lin Qingyu instantly broke out in a cold sweat; that was the time limit of death in the previous simulation.

Would the death time of the next simulation timeline also be linked to the timeline of the system's next task issuance?

The Core Formation stage... how many simulations would it actually take to advance? Lin Qingyu had no certainty in her heart.

Her gaze swept back and forth across the panel, finally landing on the "Red Dust Immortal" trait. Originally, she wanted to use a simulation to test the waters, but it seemed she could no longer choose leisurely cultivation. Rapidly increasing her cultivation level was definitely the most important matter!

'System, simulate!'

[Drawing talent trait...]

[Trait Ranks: White, Blue, Purple, Orange, Red, Gold, Seven-Colored]

[Trait obtained: Time Reversal (Seven-Colored)]

[Time Reversal: A single thought reverses time and light, ten thousand tribulations are swept away like the eastern flowing river.]

[If body dies and Dao dissipates, in the instant of annihilation, time can be reversed to twelve hours ago. (Cooldown period of one hundred years; time within the simulation can also be counted towards the cooldown)]

"Holy shit!"

Lin Qingyu, who was almost blinded by that seven-colored dazzling light, abruptly sat up from the couch with a spring.

It was too shameless! Wouldn't this be equivalent to having multiple extra lives?

"Hehehehe, but I like it!"

But bearing gifts for no reason meant one had hidden motives!

The system suddenly tossed out a seven-colored trait, indicating that the future path would inevitably be even harder to walk. Lin Qingyu's divine sense couldn't help but fall upon the qinghuang blood essence within her inner world. Was it because of this...

[Simulation begins]

[On the first day, you fell into deep thought looking at the Qiming Pill in your hand.]

[This pill can help someone achieve sudden enlightenment in a short time, but all your current cultivation methods and secret arts don't seem very suitable for using this pill.]

[Mirror Image Water Moon is still a long way from reaching Great Accomplishment, and there certainly won't be much benefit in the short term. The Twin Luminaries Spirit-Evolving Chapter is even more so.]

[As for Fireball Technique and Water Mirror Technique, there is no longer any need to continue investing in them.]

[Finally, your gaze landed on the secret art Thousand Mechanisms Transformation. Regarding this secret art, your comprehension speed was significantly faster than the other two secret arts, which might also be related to the difficulty level of the secret art.]

[Since the Minor Accomplishment Thousand Mechanisms Transformation could fool cultivators of the same rank, could the Great Accomplishment version fool Core Formation cultivators?]

[If that were truly the case, then the value of investing in this secret art would definitely be the highest.]

[Thinking of this, you no longer hesitated. After carefully studying the secret art jade slip of Thousand Mechanisms Transformation once more, you swallowed the Qiming Pill in one gulp.]

[After the medicinal pill entered your abdomen, you only felt a cool sensation rush straight to your sea of consciousness, like moonlight pouring over your crown, clearing and brightening your spiritual platform.]

[The next moment, your thoughts spun as fast as lightning. The previously obscure and difficult-to-comprehend key points of the secret art all suddenly became clear at this moment.]

[Your comprehension of Thousand Mechanisms Transformation is rapidly soaring...]

[This seclusion lasted for a full month.]

[A month later, a cyan figure quietly flew out of the Xuantian Sword Sect. It was precisely you and the Qingluan Winged Wind Bird.]

[After much consideration, you still didn't go to claim the sect's Foundation Establishment cultivation method. After all, once a soul imprint is left behind, wanting to escape the sect's pursuit would not be an easy matter.]

[As for the Qingfeng Valley Secret Realm three years later, you had no interest in participating anymore; you merely used the news of the spirit-nourishing fruit to trade three thousand low-grade spirit stones from Xiao Fanzi.]

[This Child of Fortune was truly about to be plucked bald by you. After all, he was also just starting out, and his foundation was not very substantial.]

[In addition, you went to the Red Pavilion again two days ago, Earth-grade intelligence token +1.]

[Your departure from the sect this time was precisely to head to the Hehuan Sect in the western Xuanhuang Prefecture to acquire your natal... cough cough, to acquire that damned Hehuan Cultivation Method.]

[Not avoiding the mortal world's worldly aura, all thousands of obsessive thoughts become immortals... The Hehuan Sect should have a better target...]

[The Qingluan Winged Wind Bird swiftly swept past a towering peak. Gale winds like blades rushed towards them, but they were firmly blocked outside by the spiritual energy barrier.]

[You chuckled softly. It was merely a bit of wind and frost...]

[...]
