Chapter 101 Fourth Simulation
Li Yan felt like she had had many, many dreams.
Whenever I fall into an endless abyss of darkness and cold.
Then a figure pulled her up.
The figure's face was indistinct; it could be an old person, a young person, a man, or a woman.
In the end, all faces became the same.
That is one's master.
"Hmm..."
'
Li Yan woke up slowly and found herself back in her room.
"last night....
'
Li Yan looked shy and didn't know what to do.
But she discovered that she was still a virgin.
For a moment, Li Yan didn't know whether to feel disappointed or guilty.
I never imagined I would think this way about my master.
time flies.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
These past two months have been the happiest two months of Li Yan's life.
Not only did no other clansmen bully her, but staying by her master's side also gave Li Yan an incredibly secure feeling.
It was as if he had known his master for many years, and the latter was like his father, Daoist companion, and closest relative.
This feeling had no basis, but that's just how Li Yan felt.
Li Yan was utterly captivated by this feeling, believing she had found her lifelong partner.
A gentle breeze is blowing.
Countless purple bamboos sway in the purple bamboo forest.
Zhou Qing sat at the table, while Li Yan served him from the side.
"Master, have some tea."
Li Yan carefully brewed a pot of spiritual tea, poured it into a cup, and presented it to Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing took it casually. The spiritual tea was only a low-grade first-level tea, far inferior to the many top-grade spiritual teas he had drunk in the simulation.
But tasting it in real life is a completely different experience.
Zhou Qing pursed her lips and glanced at Li Yan beside her.
After two months of continuous spiritual communication, Zhou Qing had already left a very deep impression on Li Yan.
Specifically, this meant that Li Yan had no defenses against Zhou Qing at all.
It should be noted that when Zhou Qing first accepted Li Yan, she was extremely compliant.
However, deep down, she was quite wary; otherwise, she wouldn't have offered herself willingly.
Offering oneself in exchange for Zhou Qing's protection is essentially an exchange, and also a sign of defensiveness.
If it were true trust, there would be no thought of self-sacrifice; Zhou Qing could have it whenever he wanted.
Now, Li Yan is like a delicate flower that Zhou Qing can pick at any time.
"Unfortunately... it's not enough..."
Zhou Qing thought to himself.
Li Yan's current lack of vigilance is based on Zhou Qing's complete dominance.
If one day Li Yan reaches the Foundation Establishment stage and then the Core Formation stage, surpassing Zhou Qing in cultivation, she might have different ideas.
For example, young children live under the protection of their parents from a young age, and naturally feel that their parents are omnipotent.
But once they grow up and see the outside world, this halo will be shattered.
Li Yan was in that situation at that moment.
Zhou Qing wanted perfect control.
"However... in this state, casting the 'Demon Seed Technique' should be incredibly smooth..."
Zhou Qing thought to himself.
"The Primordial Yin Body...and Ye Feng's Water Spirit Body..."
"7
Zhou Qing thought of the two types of precious bodies he had come into contact with.
The Precious Body, the Dao Body, and the Innate Body are all talents independent of the spiritual root system.
The Water Spirit Body is comparable to the Earth Spirit Root, belonging to the lowest grade of the treasure bodies.
"I wonder which level of treasure body Da Chun's ancient saint bloodline belongs to."
Zhou Qing suddenly thought of Da Chun. At this time, Da Chun should still be in Lie Kingdom protecting the Zhou family.
The bloodline of the ancient sages is the reason why Da Chun was pulled into the inner world of Youshan.
This is what Da Chun told Zhou Qing.
"To be able to leap from an ordinary mortal to a third-tier body cultivator in just over a hundred years, and an ancient body cultivator at that, comparable to a Dharma cultivator who has formed a flawless golden core, that trace of ancient saint bloodline is probably no less than the aptitude of a heavenly spiritual root."
Zhou Qing thought to himself.
Even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, one needs to go all out to form a flawless Golden Core, and whether or not it can be formed in the end depends on luck.
"If even a trace of ancient saint bloodline can achieve this, what would it be like with a complete ancient saint bloodline...?"
Zhou Qing's thoughts raced.
Subconsciously, I wanted to use divination to calculate.
The result, however, contained no substantial information.
Even a precious body possesses the ability to conceal its own secrets, let alone the bloodline of an ancient saint.
Zhou Qing was not surprised by this.
"Da Chun..."
"6
Zhou Qing glanced at the direction of the mortal gale.
After the simulation ended, Zhou Qing did not return to Lie Kingdom.
In the third simulation, the Zhou family, located in the Lie Kingdom, lived in peace for the next few decades.
There's no need for me to go.
As long as I confirm that my family is safe, that's all that matters.
"What is Master thinking?"
Li Yan, who was standing next to Zhou Qing, noticed the change in Zhou Qing's thoughts and asked curiously.
I was thinking about my family.
"6
Zhou Qing smiled.
"The master's family must be doing well."
Li Yan's tone turned rather somber as she said this, "I just don't know about Yan'er's family..."
'
Bloodline secret techniques can only be used when one is at least in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and can only be used by one's own bloodline.
Outsiders cannot use other people's bloodlines to perform bloodline secret techniques to obtain information about the other person's blood relatives.
Even if one uses their own bloodline to perform secret techniques, there are many limitations. First, one can only obtain information from close relatives whose cultivation level is lower than one's own.
Secondly, at most, one can vaguely determine whether close relatives are alive. As for more specific information, such as location and strength, that is beyond the reach of bloodline secret techniques at the Qi Refining stage.
"Yan'er's family..."
"6
Zhou Qing looked at Li Yan without saying anything.
In fact, after confirming that Li Yan was the legendary Yuan Yin Treasure Body.
Zhou Qing had already used divination techniques to calculate the lineage of Li Yan's ancestors for eight generations.
The treasure itself has the effect of concealing heavenly secrets, making it difficult to calculate.
However, Li Yan's parents and ancestors for eight generations were not of the Baoti type, and Zhou Qing easily deduced this using divination techniques.
Li Yan's parents were a couple who were in the early stages of Qi Refining.
Shortly after giving birth to Li Yan, she was hunted down by her enemies.
As a last resort, Li Yan was hidden near the Purple Bamboo Forest.
Then he led away his enemies.
In the end, he naturally died at the hands of his enemies.
As for the two enemies who killed Li Yan's parents, they also died at the hands of other cultivators several years later.
The art of divination, with its ability to predict and calculate, is virtually infallible.
Of course, this inference requires causality as a medium.
Zhou Qing deduced Li Yan's parents because they had an extremely close relationship with Li Yan.
If you try to calculate it from scratch, the difficulty will increase dramatically.
The birth of this precious body follows no set pattern...
"9
Zhou Qing sighed inwardly.
Li Yan's parents were just ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators.
From birth to death, he was no different from most independent cultivators.
Yet she gave birth to Li Yan, a primordial yin body comparable to the Heavenly Spiritual Root.
Even if both parents are cultivators with the Precious Body, their offspring will almost never inherit the Precious Body, and their aptitude will be quite ordinary.
The probability of offspring of cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots having Mid-Grade or High-Grade Spiritual Roots is not low.
"However, from now on, Master will be Yan'er's family..." Li Yan immediately looked at Zhou Qing and said.
In Li Yan's eyes, Zhou Qing was closer than her parents, whom she had never met.
Just then.
Not far from the purple bamboo forest, faint fluctuations of spiritual energy could be heard.
Immediately afterwards, faint sounds of fighting could be heard.
"what?"
Despite her low cultivation level, Li Yan, possessing a precious body, had a very keen sense of spirituality and instinctively looked towards the direction of the battle.
Outside the purple bamboo grove.
Two groups of cultivators were fighting each other.
Three mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators are chasing after a male and a female cultivator.
The male cultivator being chased was at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, while the female cultivator was at the early stage of Qi Refining.
"I have no grudge against you, why are you doing this to me..." The male cultivator being chased said with grief and indignation, shielding the female cultivator behind him.
"Heh heh, what are you pretending for? The fat sheep that we brothers were eyeing, wasn't it you who slaughtered it?" The leader of the three male cultivators who were chasing them sneered.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the male cultivator being chased suddenly grabbed the female cultivator who was protecting him and threw her toward the three cultivators.
He himself increased his speed dramatically and flew away in another direction.
The three male cultivators were slightly taken aback, then dealt with the female cultivator who was throwing at them, and continued their pursuit.
Inside the purple bamboo forest.
Li Yan sensed the disappearance of the spiritual energy fluctuations and subconsciously looked at Zhou Qing, asking softly, "Master, what happened over there?"
"It's nothing, just dogs fighting each other."
Zhou Qing smiled and answered casually.
With a little calculation, he realized that the male and female cultivators being hunted down were not good people either, and often double-crossed each other.
"Master seems to be in a good mood?" Li Yan blinked.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Zhou Qing immediately smiled.
He was naturally in a very good mood.
Since taking over the Purple Bamboo Forest two months ago, Zhou Qing has not sensed the presence of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Those coming and going were all Qi Refining stage cultivators.
Whether it's fighting or just passing by.
They were all cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.
What does this mean?
It's safe!
Compared to the time in Biyue Immortal City, where Foundation Establishment cultivators came one after another, and even Core Formation cultivators were overlooking the city.
The bamboo grove gave Zhou Qing an overwhelming sense of security.
At a glance, all of them are downgraded.
Is there anything safer than this?
In addition, the underground of the Purple Bamboo Forest connects to a third-order spiritual vein, creating a third-order cave dwelling.
The cooldown time for Zhou Qing's simulation attempts has been shortened to just over four months.
It's simply the perfect place to live.
time flies.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the Purple Bamboo Forest Cave.
Zhou Qing sat cross-legged, and the puppet in front of him was finally completed.
In the past few months, Zhou Qing has created a total of six puppets, one of which reached the second tier, and the other five were all of the first tier high quality.
.
A second-tier puppet can unleash the combat power of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, while a first-tier high-grade puppet can unleash the combat power of a late-stage Qi Refining stage cultivator.
Zhou Qing created these puppets, naturally, to prepare for simulation.
In the fourth simulation shortly afterward, Zhou Qing planned to immediately go to Youshan to display his talent and aptitude at the age of seventeen, when he had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment.
Let that armored guardian see what true genius looks like.
In order to successfully obtain the "Golden Core" reward.
Zhou Qing was worried that her evaluation would drop if she waited even a day longer.
Since he went to Youshan immediately, Zhou Qing naturally had no time to spare for the Purple Bamboo Forest.
That's why these six puppets were made in advance to stand guard over the Purple Bamboo Forest in his place.
Six puppets, one at the Foundation Establishment stage and five at the late Qi Refining stage.
With the help of the defensive array of the Purple Bamboo Forest, even though several Foundation Establishment cultivators came together, the situation was still manageable.
It can last for a while.
In addition, Zhou Qing also specially created a hidden space in the Purple Bamboo Forest.
In the unlikely event that a Foundation Establishment cultivator were to breach the Purple Bamboo Forest, Li Yan could hide in that secret space.
The hidden space was surrounded by dozens of miniature arrays.
Even if a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator were to come in person, they might easily overlook it.
Whether it's six puppets or dozens of miniature formations.
They are all detachable, so even if they are no longer needed in the future, Zhou Qing can sell them in the simulation, so there is no waste.
"Secluded Mountain".
'
Zhou Qing's heart was stirred.
If it were truly possible to obtain a Golden Core in the simulation.
Then nurture Li Yan to the Foundation Establishment stage and take away her first strand of primordial yin energy.
This was combined with the information Zhou Qing had gathered about many Core Formation spiritual objects during the third simulation, such as the Fire Essence Jujube Tree located in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
Finally, the spiritual root aptitude was upgraded to the superior grade.
Zhou Qing really has a chance to break through to the Flawless Golden Core stage!
Flawless Golden Elixir!
Nascent Soul Seed.
Once you reach the Core Formation stage, the influence of your spiritual root talent on your cultivation speed will decrease.
The quality of the Golden Elixir is the key driving force for cultivators during the Golden Elixir Formation stage.
Before meeting Li Yan, he relied on the Golden Core stage.
Zhou Qing's goal is to obtain a superior golden elixir.
As for the flawless golden elixir? We can only place our hopes on the secret method of elixir transformation.
However, the conditions for using the Secret Method of Transforming Pills are harsh, and it may even be life-threatening. Zhou Qing was not confident that he could guarantee that he could form a flawless golden pill after breaking his own pill.
If the secret method of alchemy were truly that effective, there would be no such thing as a cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root who might not necessarily be able to form a flawless golden core.
After creating a second-tier puppet.
Zhou Qing got up and walked out of the cave.
.
"Master, the spiritual food for tonight is ready."
Li Yan walked gracefully over and gave Zhou Qing a slight bow.
Zhou Qing glanced at Li Yan.
Dressed in a moon-white palace gown, she was graceful and elegant, with flawless, snow-white skin and an incomparably noble temperament, like the bright moon in the sky.
Compared to a few months ago, Li Yan has undergone a complete transformation; even the Li family patriarch probably wouldn't recognize her in person.
Zhou Qing naturally knew the reason.
With his help, Li Yan's Yuan Yin Treasure Body awakened at a faster pace, naturally leading to changes in Li Yan from the inside out.
Every woman with a primordial yin body is an unparalleled beauty, without exception.
Li Yan's primordial yin body has not yet fully awakened.
If we wait until we are fully awakened, we will surpass our current appearance and temperament.
"Yan'er".
Zhou Qing casually pulled Li Yan into his arms.
Over the past few months, he and Li Yan have done everything they could, except for failing to break through the final level.
Feeling the rise and fall of the beauty's chest, and the warm fragrance of her breath, like osmanthus and orchid, Zhou Qing was slightly intoxicated.
After eating the spiritual food.
Zhou Qing then had a good chat with Li Yan for a while.
Until Li Yan was panting heavily and could no longer control herself.
It only stopped then.
More than ten days later.
Zhou Qing sat cross-legged in the cave.
But their gaze was fixed on the illusory countdown below their line of sight.
【00:00:00:45】
The unit for the countdown is the same as the unit Zhou Qing used on "Blue Star"—seconds.
At this moment, there are only 45 seconds left before the countdown reaches zero.
In the blink of an eye, the countdown has reached zero.
Below Zhou Qing's gaze was the illusory text, the column for "[Number of Simulations]".
Things changed suddenly.
Number of simulations: 1
"We can start a new simulation now!"
Zhou Qing's eyes lit up, her expression expectant.
