109: Section 109

He now desperately wished to return to reality and, while he was at it, find Chun Zhu to calm his nerves…

Not long after.

The woman transported Su Mo to the mountains, where pavilions and towers were scattered everywhere. The people moving about, both men and women, were all dressed in silk.

Upon seeing this place, Su Mo was incredibly curious.

What kind of place was this?

The clothes people wore were so luxurious.

One had to remember, this was ancient times; productivity was incredibly low.

Just one set of silk clothes would likely require the labor of hundreds of people.

As Su Mo was pondering haphazardly,

a group of men and women approached.

Seeing Spiritual Linglong, they bowed.

“Lord Spiritual Linglong.”

“Is this the Red Hill Royal Bloodline?”

Spiritual Linglong nodded slightly.

“Yes, is the Pill Furnace ready now?”

“It’s ready, Lord. Shall we begin immediately?”

“Yes, let’s begin now.”

“I will use a secret technique later to extract this person’s Solar True Fire.”

“It should be barely enough to forge ten Xuanbing arrows.”

“Yes, Lord.”

Listening to these people discuss him, Su Mo, who had been resigned to death, suddenly felt somewhat indifferent.

Perhaps he should take this opportunity to ask these people some knowledge about the ancient era.

He didn’t know if he would ever randomly simulate this ancient era again in the future.

“I want to ask, have you heard of Zhu Jiuyin?”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed.

A woman in the crowd, who wasn’t particularly good-looking, immediately spoke up.

“How dare you directly call the name of the great Creator God! Didn’t your elders teach you basic manners?”

“After your Solar True Fire is taken, I will personally whip you thirty times!”

Hearing the woman’s words, Su Mo’s mind raced.

He hadn’t expected Zhu Jiuyin to be so respected in this ancient era.

Immediately,

Su Mo began to argue.

“Why would you whip me? I didn’t know.”

“Nobody told me I couldn’t call him by his name.”

“Then where did you hear about him from?!”

“I heard a story.”

Saying this, Su Mo recounted the story Daji had told him to the group.

After listening to Su Mo’s words, everyone’s faces showed expressions of disbelief.

“Where did you hear this story?” Spiritual Linglong asked upon seeing their reactions. “This story you’ve made up is quite good, suitable for children.”

“But how could the great Dragon be simply beheaded by a giant axe?”

“Alright, stop spreading such misleading words.”

“Next, after your Solar True Fire is taken, you will be a sweeping handyman on Moon Wheel Peak.”

“A Red Hill Royal Bloodline serving as a handyman on our Moon Wheel Peak, how interesting.”

After speaking,

Su Mo, who had been suspended in mid-air, felt himself being pulled forward.

Not long after,

Su Mo was brought before a massive blue Pill Furnace. This blue Pill Furnace was not a conventional forging furnace, but rather similar in style to an Alchemy furnace, with some faint blue flames burning inside.

Just then,

Spiritual Linglong reached for Su Mo’s chest.

The Solar True Fire that had appeared during Su Mo’s coming-of-age ceremony was directly pulled out.

It was a small, golden-red flame.

It looked very pitiful.

After Spiritual Linglong threw the Solar True Fire into the Pill Furnace, the Pill Furnace’s previously faint blue flames immediately surged high, as if greatly nourished.

Watching the blue flames rise, Spiritual Linglong smiled with satisfaction.

“Truly worthy of the Red Hill Royal Bloodline.”

“This tiny wisp of Solar True Fire is equivalent to a hundred pieces of ten-thousand-year-old ice charcoal.”

Meanwhile, Su Mo didn’t feel any discomfort in his body. For some reason, he even felt a little good.

After the Solar True Fire left his body, even his breathing became much smoother.

Su Mo didn’t know why this was.

But his biggest asset in this simulation was gone, so there was no point in staying in the ancient era anymore.

Spiritual Linglong looked back at Su Mo.

She gently placed Su Mo on the ground.

Long periods of weightlessness made Su Mo’s steps feel a bit unsteady.

“Arrange a place for him to live, and give him a cleaning witch tool as well.”

“As for the rest, let him be.”

“Yes!”

Subsequently, Su Mo was arranged in a bamboo house at the foot of a mountain and was given a broom refined with a special method and several sets of clothes for changing.

The broom’s function was very powerful.

With a gentle sweep, dust and debris vanished, though he didn’t know where they were teleported.

Sitting on the bed in the bamboo house,

Su Mo pondered what he should do next.

Without the Solar True Fire,

he was a useless person.

As for Chang’e, he hadn’t even seen her yet, and who knew how many years it would take to meet her.

He might as well just die and get it over with; after all, there were plenty of simulation opportunities.

It was just the method of death he needed to choose.

Drowning in a lake was too painful.

Hanging himself wouldn’t work either; his neck would hurt from the constriction.

Stabbing himself with a knife, ramming into a wall, Su Mo thought of them all.

But in the end, he decided

that simply jumping off this peak would be the safest.

Not only would it be a complete death, but it would also be painless.

Therefore,

for the remaining days, Su Mo constantly sought opportunities to clean on the high peaks.

Only then

could he painlessly end this simulation.

Hard work pays off.

One day, Su Mo received a task: to clean and tidy up on Moon Wheel Main Peak.

That Moon Wheel Main Peak was the mountain Su Mo had seen earlier, the only one among the mountains with a waterfall.

More importantly,

this Moon Wheel Main Peak was the highest peak among these mountains.

Jumping from it would be safer.

Therefore,

Su Mo, carrying his broom, walked briskly towards Moon Wheel Main Peak.

The stairs leading to Moon Wheel Main Peak were very steep.

He didn’t know who lived up there, but because no one usually walked on them, the stairs were covered in dust and fallen leaves.

To avoid attracting attention, Su Mo chose to clean as he ascended.

However, after climbing halfway, Su Mo stopped cleaning and ran straight towards the highest point.

At this moment, he moved with swift steps.

In Su Mo’s view, this was the staircase to freedom.

Thump-thump-thump...

Su Mo only took twenty minutes to climb this over three-thousand-meter-high peak.

The facilities on this peak were very simple, with only a glowing tree emitting white light, a few stone tables, and stone stools.

On the north side of the peak was a protruding rock face, with a tightly closed stone door on it, looking like a prison cell.

Realizing there was no one here, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he walked towards the west.

He had observed before coming that the west side of Moon Wheel Main Peak was the steepest part, without any protruding rocks, which would ensure no obstacles during his jump.

Standing on the edge,

Su Mo looked down.

He only felt the clouds and mist swirling among the peaks, making his head spin for a moment.

Well,

his fear of heights had kicked in.

Su Mo immediately closed his eyes, thinking, “Quickly, return to reality!”

He was about to jump down.

“What are you doing?”

At this moment, a clear, cold voice came from behind Su Mo, startling him and making the courage he had just mustered disappear.

He turned his head to look.

He saw a woman dressed in a simple white immortal dress, looking at him with clear, curious eyes.

The moment he saw the woman, Su Mo’s breath hitched, and the surrounding space seemed to stop.

The woman before him was simply too beautiful.
