37: Kill two people in a row

*Clang!!!*

[Just as Tang Chuan attacked and reached your side, a Flying Sword blocked him.]

[It was Mu Ningshuang!]

[She, who was originally accepting the Legacy, actually interrupted her own Legacy to save you!]

["Su Xuan, leave quickly!"]

[Hearing Mu Ningshuang's words, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of your lips.]

[If it were normal times, you would have left long ago.]

[But now, even if you wanted to leave, you couldn't.]

[Mu Ningshuang and Tang Chuan fell into a fierce battle. Both of them were top prodigies, and at first, neither could do anything to the other.]

[However, because Mu Ningshuang had cultivated in the Ancient Wood Realm for a long time and lacked combat experience, she gradually fell into a disadvantage.]

[You smiled with relief.]

[The scenes experienced in this life flashed through your mind like a revolving lantern.]

[Finally, you discovered a blind spot!]

[You pulled out your Beast-Taming Bag, and the Peak Tier 3 Yao Beast, the Howling Moon Wolf, which you had originally forgotten, emerged from it.]

[Under the activation of the Great Wilderness Beast Control Scripture, it miraculously advanced to a Tier 4 Howling Moon Wolf King.]

[You guided it to attack.]

[Finally, under the fearless attacks of the Howling Moon Wolf King, Tang Chuan was captured by Mu Ningshuang.]

[You asked Tang Chuan why he targeted you so much.]

[But he only laughed out loud.]

[You killed Tang Chuan with your own hands.]

[This time, you made sure he was dead beyond a shadow of a doubt.]

[At the same time, Chu Han, who was fighting Feng Xuanji, saw that things were going south and immediately retreated.]

[But how could you allow him to escape so easily?]

[Finally, under the joint siege of Feng Xuanji, Mu Ningshuang, and the Howling Moon Wolf King, Chu Han was captured.]

[You asked Chu Han what exactly he meant by what he said to Tang Chuan.]

["If I tell you his identity, can you let me go?"]

[You did not answer.]

[You knew that Chu Han was only stalling for time, waiting for Dan Juezi to possess him.]

[He could afford to stall, but you couldn't.]

[You finished off Chu Han.]

["You..."]

["My Revered Master will not let you off..."]

[Chu Han's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he hadn't expected you to dare treat him like this.]

[Feeling your body grow heavier and heavier, you slowly spoke, "Ningshuang, can you tell me the contents of the Legacy you accepted?"]

[Mu Ningshuang readily agreed, because from her perspective, you were dying so that she could obtain the Legacy in peace.]

[You learned a portion of the Legacy's contents.]

[You died!]

[This simulation has ended!]

"Phew..."

Watching the end of the simulation, Su Xuan exhaled a heavy breath of turbid air.

This was his longest simulation.

It could be said that he had gained a lot from this simulation.

Not only had he raised his cultivation to the fifth layer of the Golden Core stage, but he had also discovered many secrets of this world.

What surprised him the most were these people who possessed Luck.

Among them, Tang Chuan actually knew some of the things he would do.

Chu Han, on the other hand, knew about certain things that happened to Tang Chuan.

Meanwhile, Feng Xuanji seemed to know nothing at all.

All of this was truly strange.

[Beginning settlement of this simulation's rewards.]

[Since you successfully killed two individuals who possessed Luck in this simulation.]

[You may choose any three of the following options.]

[Option 1: Golden Core fifth layer cultivation.]

[Option 2: Tier 4 Body Refining Early Stage cultivation.]

[Option 3: The talents used in this simulation.]

[Option 4: Desolate Beast Token.]

[Option 5: Map of the Ancient Wood Realm.]

[Option 6: A portion of the Divine Sword True Lord's Legacy.]

Looking at the six options before him, Su Xuan chose option one and option three without hesitation.

As for the remaining four options, they were all slightly lacking.

First of all, the map of the Ancient Wood Realm was the most useless thing.

After all, the entire Ancient Wood Realm was only about half the size of an Imperial Dynasty. He had already explored it several times, and its routes were clear in his mind.

Next was the Divine Sword True Lord's Legacy.

Mu Ningshuang had only accepted a small fraction of it, most of which were the Divine Sword True Lord's insights into cultivating the Dao of the Sword.

It did not contain the complete cultivation method of the Slaughtering Heaven Sword Scripture.

As for the Desolate Beast Token...

Although it sounded good, to cross a Cultivation World, one would need at least a Soul Transformation Realm cultivation.

And he was currently still quite far from this Realm.

On the other hand, although his Body Refining cultivation had lagged behind, it was still barely practical.

"System, I choose the cultivation, the Body Refining Realm, and the talents used in this simulation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful force appeared out of thin air.

It rapidly gathered within Su Xuan's Dantian.

His aura climbed steadily.

It only slowed to a stop once it reached the fifth layer of the Golden Core stage.

And that was not all.

A series of crackling pops also echoed from Su Xuan's body.

His muscles and tendons began to change.

His life essence was sublimated.

Because whether it was the Golden Core or Tier 4 Body Refining, both were qualitative leaps.

"Swallowing a Golden Core into the stomach, my fate is mine to control, not Heaven's"—this was not just an empty saying.

[Ding! Detected that the host's life essence has changed. A System upgrade is required!]

"Upgrade?"

Su Xuan quickly opened the System panel.

[Immortal Cultivation Simulator Lv3]

[Host: Su Xuan]

[Cultivation: Golden Core Fifth Layer, Tier 4 Body Refining Early Stage]

[Spiritual Root: Three Spiritual Roots]

[Spiritual Body: Metal Spirit Body]

[Talents: Body Strengthening (White), Swift Steps, Good Fortune, Slave Gu, Crisis Awareness, Heaven Rewards Diligence]

[Energy Value: 4,340]

[Current Simulation Energy Consumption: 1,000]

[Note: The current System needs to be upgraded. The required energy value is 100,000 points!]

"This..."

Su Xuan frowned slightly.

With his current strength, getting Spirit Stones could be said to be incredibly easy.

However, where would it be safe to get them?

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xuan immediately stood up and went to Sky Profound City.

At this moment, Sky Profound City was bustling with noise and activity due to the opening of the Great Wilderness Secret Realm.

There were even many official Cultivators of the Great Wu Dynasty there providing Spirit Stone Loan services.

As long as a native Cultivator of the Great Wu Dynasty signed and put their thumbprint on the contract, they could obtain a significant amount of Spirit Stones.

However, it came with relatively high interest.

Furthermore, if it was not repaid within ten years, they would immediately be placed on the Great Wu Dynasty's wanted list.

Knowing that the Great Wu Dynasty would be destroyed in ten years, Su Xuan chose the maximum amount for the Spirit Stone Loan without any hesitation.

"Customer, did you say... you want to choose the maximum amount?"

"You should know that a Golden Core Cultivator like you can borrow up to two hundred thousand Spirit Stones at most. Moreover, you will need to repay three hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones within ten years. This is not a small sum."

"But if you don't pay it off within ten years..."

The assistant didn't continue, but Su Xuan spoke confidently, "Don't worry, brother. In ten years, I'll repay you five hundred thousand Spirit Stones. The extra one hundred thousand will be your reward. I hope you can process it quickly."

Hearing this, the assistant was overjoyed and immediately began processing the paperwork without stopping.
