73: Chapter 73, first purple entry

"How do I get more after these simulation attempts are used up?" She wondered in her heart. If she lost the simulator, she would have no capital to trial-and-error in the cruel Cultivation World.

Seeming to sense her question, ripples appeared on the light screen, and a new line of text slowly emerged: [Hint: After the initial 5 simulation attempts are used, the "destiny module" will officially open.]

"destiny module?"

Lin Shuangwan whispered.

She had always thought the "destiny" prefix in "destiny simulator" was just a name, but now it seemed this "destiny module" was the core of the entire System.

"It seems I am still in the novice protection period," Lin Shuangwan thought to herself. "Subsequent simulation attempts should be Acquired through this destiny module."

Having figured this out, she stopped worrying. The urgent task was to convert her strength into reality.

"Extract all."

[Rewards extracting...]

As soon as she finished speaking, an extremely massive and scorching energy appeared out of thin air in her Dantian.

"Boom!"

Lin Shuangwan's whole body shook.

This power was more violent than any previous time.

The Internal Energy in her body became like boiling water, beginning to crazily compress and undergo qualitative change.

The originally gaseous Internal Energy, under extreme compression, gradually turned into droplets of liquid True Qi!

She jumped directly from Acquired to the Great Grandmaster Realm!

Not only that, as her cultivation level soared, countless cultivation memories regarding the "Green Vessel Hundred Forging Record" flooded into her mind.

Her bones made teeth-achingly loud "crack" sounds, and muscle fibers were torn and reorganized.

A layer of fine black Impurities seeped out from her skin surface, only to be instantly evaporated by the high heat radiating from her body.

Her skin became increasingly fair and delicate, but under the faint moonlight, it faintly shimmered with a cold, hard metallic luster.

In just a few breaths.

She successfully broke through to the Great Grandmaster Early Stage, and she was a terrifying Great Grandmaster who had cultivated her horizontal training technique to Perfection!

Lin Shuangwan slowly clenched her fist.

A crisp sound of air being crushed came from her knuckles.

Feeling the terrifying power between her palms that seemed capable of easily crushing refined iron, she forcibly suppressed the urge to smash the prison door with one punch.

She turned her head to look at Mother Lin curled up in the corner.

In the corner, Mother Lin was huddled on a pile of moldy hay, her face pale, brows tightly locked; the days of fright and the chill of the prison made her shiver from time to time in her sleep.

Lin Shuangwan's eyes softened, and she walked over to crouch beside Mother Lin.

She extended her fair fingers and gently rested them on Mother Lin's wrist.

A wisp of extremely gentle Great Grandmaster True Qi slowly flowed along the Meridians into Mother Lin's body, dispelling the chill and dampness in the prison cell.

Visibly, Mother Lin's complexion became much rosier, her tightly locked brows gradually relaxed, and her breathing became steady and long.

Lin Shuangwan took off her own slightly thin outer garment and pulled over a slightly cleaner straw mat from the side, carefully covering her mother tightly.

"Mother, sleep." Lin Shuangwan looked at her mother's peaceful face and said softly in her heart, "Soon, I will take you out."

After settling her mother, Lin Shuangwan sat back in her original spot, her gaze cast upon the extraction button on the light screen that was flickering with an enticing glow.

"Start extraction."

A ball of light condensed in the center of the screen, spinning rapidly.

Gray-white, indigo... the light changed constantly. Suddenly, the light ball exploded violently!

A noble, mysterious, and captivating purple light, like the aurora at dawn, instantly covered the entire light screen!

Lin Shuangwan's breathing suddenly stopped.

Purple!

It really was a purple trait!

The purple light gradually receded, turning into lines of clear text:

[Purple Trait · Peerless Elegance: The spiritual beauty of heaven and earth gathers in one person, enhancing the host's own charm, spiritual energy affinity, luck, and temperament. It also reduces the target's initial hostility towards the host, making it extremely easy to gain others' favor, trust, and pity. It is effective against all living creatures in the world (whether Mortal, Cultivator, or birds and beasts).]

[Note 1: The lower the intelligence of the creature, the stronger the affinity effect.]

[Note 2: For high-Realm Cultivators, the effect depends on the toughness of the opponent's Dao Heart.]

Lin Shuangwan stared at this line of text for a full half-minute.

She was stunned.

This trait... if you say it's useless? It can take effect on "all living creatures," reducing hostility and gaining trust.

In a world full of crises, this is simply a death-immunity gold medal and a diplomatic Divine Artifact, plus it has the metaphysical bonus of luck—maybe she could turn bad luck into good?

Could she pick up some Heaven-Defying treasure just by jumping off a cliff?

If you say it's useful? It doesn't add attack, doesn't add defense, it's completely a soft support. Except for spiritual energy affinity which can speed up Cultivate, other effects either depend on the other party's willpower or luck.

"Effective against all living creatures..." Lin Shuangwan touched her chin, and a strange thought suddenly popped into her head, "Then if the mosquitoes in the prison cell in summer think I'm good-looking, won't they stop sucking my blood?"

She shook her head, throwing this outrageous thought out of her mind.

But regardless, this is her highest-level trait so far, and it can also increase the mysterious luck attribute.

The value of purple is definitely not to be underestimated.

"Equip it and test it."

Lin Shuangwan opened the trait bar.

Currently, she has three traits: [Eidetic Memory] (Blue), [Martial Arts Prodigy] (Blue), [Steadfast Heart] (White).

There are only three trait slots.

She thought for a moment.

Now that she has achieved Great Grandmaster in the simulation, and the "Taixu Visualization Method" leads directly to Earthly Immortal, she is no longer short of martial arts Cultivation Technique.

"Unequip [Eidetic Memory], equip [Peerless Elegance]."

The moment the operation was completed, Lin Shuangwan felt that absolute clarity of "seeing it once and having it engraved in her brain" disappear.

Replacing it was a tingling sensation spreading from the depths of her bone marrow.

This feeling was not painful; instead, it felt like soaking in a hot spring, warm and cozy.

Her face, figure, and even every strand of hair seemed to be undergoing some extremely subtle yet earth-shattering remodeling.

There were no mirrors in the prison cell, so she didn't know what she had become.

But she could feel that her skin had now become as delicate and smooth as mutton-fat jade.

She glanced around, confirmed there was no movement outside the cell, and took a deep breath.

"Start the fourth simulation."

[Simulation start.]

[You open your eyes.]

[Simulation day one, you are 16 years old, located in the Yunjin City county prison.]

[But your current cultivation level is Great Grandmaster Early Stage.]

[A 16-year-old Great Grandmaster, if this news were to spread, it would probably shatter the Dao Heart of every Martial Artist in the world.]

[You didn't rush to break out of prison, but sat in place, starting to think about the next method to break the deadlock.]

[You actually already have an extremely crazy plan: summon everyone in Great Qing to go to Daliang Mountain to help you dig... pfft, "archaeology".]

[Thanks to the Li family uncle and nephew, you now have a precise target location: Daliang Mountain, which is much more efficient than your last simulation of digging up graves all over the world like a headless fly.]

[But the problem arises, how to make the forces of the entire Great Qing obediently listen and help you dig Master Qingling's Immortal Cave?]

[With your current Great Grandmaster Early Stage strength, suppressing a county is enough, but to command the world, it is far from enough. If you rely on yourself to slowly Cultivate to Earthly Immortal, time might run out.]

[You need a ready-made top-tier combat power that can deter the world.]

[A name appears in your mind: Wei Feisen.]

[To be precise, you have your eyes on that Immortal Cultivator Puppet in Wei Feisen's hands that is comparable to an Earthly Immortal.]

[If you could "cooperate" with him...]

[The screen suddenly froze.]

[The light screen pops up: Major decision node detected, please make a choice yourself.]

Three options appear:
