8: Kill Tang Chuan again, Golden Spirit Fruit

[Three days later, after constantly asking around, you finally find Tang Chuan's whereabouts.]

[After repeatedly confirming that Tang Chui is not at Kelei Academy, you make your move.]

[At this time, you Cultivate both magic and body, possessing unparalleled combat power, while Tang Chuan has only just reached the first layer of Qi Refining.]

[Tang Chuan is no match for you at all; in just two rounds, he is blasted to death by you on the spot.]

[Afterward, you quickly leave Kelei Academy, planning to find a quiet place to sit and wait for the nourishing feedback from the Azure Heaven Grass.]

[However, at this moment, an unexpected change occurs. A powerful aura erupts from within your body.]

[You do not know what exactly happened, but you can clearly feel your life force rapidly fading away.]

[You are dead!]

[This simulation has ended!]

“What's going on?!”

Su Xuan frowned deeply.

This simulation could be said to be the one where he survived the longest.

Yet he died so inexplicably.

Could there be some kind of Restriction inside his body?

No, that's impossible.

Su Xuan immediately dismissed this hypothesis.

He had lived in Xuanhe Village ever since he was born.

He had never even set foot in the world of Cultivators.

And something like a Restriction required at least a Golden Core Realm Cultivator to cast.

A Cultivator of that level could harm him with a mere wave of their hand; there was absolutely no need to place a Restriction on him.

But if that possibility was ruled out...

Right! The Azure Heaven Grass!

He hadn't seen Tang Chui at Kelei Academy at all in the previous simulation, so there was only one possibility.

After escorting Tang Chuan back to Kelei Academy, Tang Chui returned to where the Azure Heaven Grass was and discovered the contract he had established!

“This makes things a bit troublesome...”

Su Xuan muttered to himself.

It was recorded in the Demon Manipulation Technique that once a contract was established with a Yao Beast, unless one chose to abandon the contract themselves, only a Golden Core Cultivator could forcibly break it.

Yet this Tang Chui took only a few breaths of time from breaking the contract to triggering the backlash. He is likely far beyond even the Golden Core Realm.

“It seems I shouldn't rush to contract the Azure Heaven Grass next time.”

[Beginning settlement of this simulation's rewards.]

[Since you successfully killed a person carrying Luck in this simulation...]

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

[Option 1: Qi Refining sixth layer cultivation.]

[Option 2: Rank One Body Refining Peak cultivation.]

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

[Option 4: Demon Manipulation Technique and Minor Achievement experience.]

Su Xuan directly chose the Peak Body Refining cultivation and the talent used in this simulation.

After all, the Demon Manipulation Technique wasn't going anywhere, and the last attempt was a complete failure, so there was no need to choose it at all.

“Continue simulation!”

[Ding! The current Rank of the Immortal Cultivation Simulator is 2. You may choose any of the following green talents.]

[Last Stand (Green): When you receive fatal damage, you will not die immediately, but can continue to fight for a period of time.]

[Old but Vigorous (Green): Your physical talent is greatly enhanced, and this enhancement will increase as your age grows.]

[Beast Taming Prodigy (Green): Your beast taming talent will be greatly enhanced. You can often subdue Yao Beasts of a higher Realm than yourself, and you will not face any obstruction when signing contracts with them.]

Su Xuan looked at the three options that appeared.

He immediately ruled out the first two.

Triggering only at the brink of death was inevitably a bit subpar.

Although they might be quite strong in the simulator,

the talents he chose could manifest in reality.

“System, I choose Beast Taming Prodigy!”

[Ding! Simulation starting!]

[Since you have already reached Rank One Body Refining Peak at this time, you do not wait for the arrival of Xing Da and Xing Er, and enter the Great Wilderness Secret Realm alone.]

[On the second day, you reach the side of the Heavenly Fragrance Fruit at the fastest speed and slay that Yao Beast on the spot in just three rounds.]

[On the fourth day, you rush forward without stopping, directly find the Demon Manipulation Technique, and begin to Cultivate it.]

[On the fifth day, you enter the core area of the Great Wilderness Secret Realm.]

[At this time, there are still many Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Rank Two Body Cultivators here, but with the bonuses from your various talents, you no longer fear them in the slightest.]

[You begin searching the core area of the Great Wilderness Secret Realm. As expected, there are many Spirit Medicines here. In just two short days, you have already found five Rank One Spirit Medicines.]

[You refine all of these Spirit Medicines. With the help of Body Strengthening, although your cultivation progresses further, you inevitably waste a lot of spiritual energy again.]

[You cannot help but lament that if only you had a green-grade Body Strengthening talent, you might have directly broken through to Rank Two Body Refining.]

[You continue to search. At the same time, you notice that many Disciples of the Tianxuan Sect are rushing toward the same direction.]

[You know that is the great Opportunity they speak of.]

[However, you are just a Loose Cultivator at this moment. Even if you have the strength to contend with Foundation Establishment experts, you are no match for these Sect Disciples.]

[You silently leave.]

[You continue to search for Spirit Medicines to improve your strength.]

[On the tenth day, you have already plundered ten Rank One Spirit Medicines. With their help, you make a Breakthrough in one go and successfully reach Rank Two Body Refining.]

[You begin searching for the place where the Tianxuan Sect Disciples went.]

[On the twelfth day, you find it.]

[However, this place is already in complete ruins, as if it had undergone a massive battle several days ago.]

[You want to search for something useful here, but the place is covered in broken walls and debris, leaving you with nowhere to start.]

[The next day, having gained nothing, you leave this place.]

[You continue to search for Spirit Medicines to improve your strength.]

[In the past, you couldn't compete with others for those Rank Two Spirit Medicines, but now, things are different.]

[On the fifteenth day, you discover a group of Tianxuan Sect Disciples hunting a Rank Two Late Stage white tiger Yao Beast.]

[Instead of showing yourself immediately, you choose to lie in wait nearby. You notice that their target doesn't seem to be the white tiger itself, but rather a tree inside the white tiger's cave.]

[You do not know what it is, but you know that a tree capable of attracting so many Tianxuan Sect Disciples is definitely not simple.]

[Greed stirs within you.]

[“Roar!”]

[With a roar from the white tiger, their battle officially enters a life-or-death phase.]

[But at this moment, they completely fail to notice you quietly slipping into the white tiger's cave.]

[Upon closer inspection, you recognize the origin of this tree—the Golden Spirit Tree.]

[This tree blossoms once every thirty years and bears fruit once every thirty years. When it bears fruit, there are six in total, and each golden spirit fruit is of immense help to Cultivators.]
