#3 - Chapter 3 Simulation Rewards

For three consecutive days, you haven't had much success in the inner city. Many Foundation Establishment families and sects are recruiting rogue cultivators to higher-level secret realms these days, which require at least the seventh level of Qi training to enter.

Secret realms like the Golden Sun Secret Realm, which can be entered at the first level of Qi training, are rare.

However, you are not discouraged and can wait patiently. You will eventually find a secret realm like the Golden Sun Secret Realm that even low-level Qi training cultivators can enter.

One day later, you died. That night, a large number of unknown cultivators attacked the inner city of Blackwater Market. Most of them were dressed in black, with lotus flowers embroidered on their chests.

The inner city was engulfed in flames and quickly breached by these people. You fought desperately, but were casually killed by an old man in red.

"Resisting at the mere fourth level of Qi training? Remember my name, I am Old Devil Hongshan!"

The last scene is a short, red-clad old man with a baleful aura. He exudes the power of Foundation Establishment, casually slapping Lin Changqing to death like a bug.

"Old Devil Hongshan, so this is the end..."

Looking at the final line of text displayed on the panel, Lin Changqing narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect to die in such a way.

A wave of emotion stirred within him!

He had heard of Old Devil Hongshan's name, a well-known Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator and an elder of the Heavenly Devil Sect.

Moreover, the panel showed that most of the cultivators attacking the market were dressed in black, with black lotuses embroidered on their clothes, which were the uniforms of the Heavenly Devil Sect!

"The Heavenly Devil Sect is going to attack in ten days?"

Lin Changqing's face showed worry. Blackwater Market is located in Qingzhou, Wu Kingdom. The city lord, Fairy Nishang, has a Core Formation mid-stage cultivation and is considered one of the top forces in Qingzhou.

But this is nothing compared to the Heavenly Devil Sect!

The Heavenly Devil Sect is the overlord of Qingzhou, Wu Kingdom, with several Core Formation experts. The sect leader, the She-Devil Qiuyue, even has a Core Formation late-stage cultivation.

If the Heavenly Devil Sect attacks Blackwater Market, Fairy Nishang, with only a Core Formation mid-stage cultivation, will definitely not be able to withstand it.

When the nest is overturned, can the eggs remain intact?

If the Heavenly Devil Sect attacks in ten days, can his safety be guaranteed?

Just like in this simulation, he was casually slapped to death by Old Devil Hongshan.

"Wait, if the Heavenly Devil Sect attacks Blackwater Market in ten days, why was I fine in the first simulation?"

"In the first simulation, I lived for two and a half years."

Lin Changqing suddenly realized that the two simulations were different. The first simulation didn't mention the Heavenly Devil Sect attacking Blackwater Market.

Moreover, he seemed to have lived for two and a half years.

This proves that in the first simulation, he survived the Heavenly Devil Sect's attack that occurred ten days later.

"Could this be related to the simulation location? This time, I chose to go to the inner city, and the Heavenly Devil Sect happened to be attacking the inner city."

"Last time, I stayed in the outer city the whole time, so I侥幸 escaped?" Lin Changqing felt that this was possible.

But even if he hides in the outer city, can he avoid the Heavenly Devil Sect's attack in ten days?

Lin Changqing still felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

The Heavenly Devil Sect attacking Blackwater Market is not a good sign.

Openly attacking a market town with a Core Formation expert is a sign that the Heavenly Devil Sect has dispatched at least one Core Formation expert, or even that She-Devil Qiuyue, who has a Core Formation late-stage cultivation, has personally arrived.

This may foreshadow the future chaos in the Qingzhou cultivation world of Wu Kingdom.

Lin Changqing had heard people talking a few days ago that the righteous and demonic paths of Qingzhou, which had been at peace for thousands of years, had been restless these past two days.

Perhaps the Heavenly Devil Sect's attack on Blackwater Market in ten days is a sign that the demonic path can't hold back any longer and is taking the lead in starting a war.

"In these ten days, I must quickly improve my strength." Lin Changqing turned his gaze to the panel in front of him again.

The cultivation world of Qingzhou in the future is likely to be very chaotic, and he must improve his strength to protect his life.

He just doesn't know what level he can raise his cultivation to in these ten days using the simulator.

[Settlement of this simulation reward, fourth level of Qi training cultivation.]

The panel began to settle the rewards for the second simulation.

Instantly, Lin Changqing felt a force from the void merge into his body, and his cultivation improved again, reaching the fourth level of Qi training.

[Remaining simulation times: three.]

[Start the next simulation?]

Lin Changqing confirmed the start of the next simulation on the panel with his mind, and then the panel began to flash lines of text again.

[You have been reborn with the fourth level of Qi training from the previous time.]

[Your choice is the same as last time, and you still choose to enter the Golden Sun Secret Realm to explore. Three days later, you and a group of rogue cultivators follow the Wang family into the secret realm.]

[After entering the secret realm, Taoist Blackfire divides you rogue cultivators into ten teams to explore the way for the Wang family. Due to your fourth level of Qi training cultivation, you have become the captain of the fourth team!]

[Scarface has been transferred to the tenth team as captain. The previous captain of the tenth team was at the peak of the third level of Qi training.]

[The improvement in your cultivation has caused some small changes in some people's trajectories.]

[As the captain of the fourth team, you have greater autonomy. Now you have the following choices.]

[A: Slowly lead the fourth team to explore the cave and wait for the opportunity.]

[B: Lead the fourth team straight to the cave where the Spirit Opening Grass is hidden.]

Lin Changqing chose option A. He knew which cave the Spirit Opening Grass was hidden in.

But now is not the best time to retrieve it.

It is unwise to go directly to the cave where the Spirit Opening Grass is hidden now.

Now, the ten teams of rogue cultivators and some Wang family law enforcement team members are all mixed together.

If he takes the Spirit Opening Grass, he will inevitably have a dispute with the rogue cultivators of other teams.

He has to wait slowly for an hour or two, until the ten teams gradually disperse in this dense forest, and then he can go and retrieve it alone.

"As long as I get the Spirit Opening Grass, I can directly reach the peak of the fifth level of Qi training."

Lin Changqing looked at the panel with anticipation.

[You chose option A, slowly exploring.]

[Three hours later, the fourth team you are in once again enters the Black Fiend Tiger's cave. The process is the same as the previous few times. You hide in the back, and after two minutes, the Wang family law enforcement team members come to kill the Fiend Tiger.]

[The biggest difference from the last time is that this time you have the right to prioritize the spoils. You enjoyed the treatment that Scarface had the previous two times.]

[You picked out ten bottles of Qi Gathering Pills and two broken middle-grade magical artifacts.]

"It's good to have improved my cultivation. The harvest is much richer than the last simulation."

Looking at the scene simulated by the panel, Lin Changqing nodded in satisfaction as he took away the best batch of things. Moreover, he knew that this was an appetizer, and there was a big prize, the Spirit Opening Grass, waiting for him to take.

[Another hour passed. At this time, the ten rogue cultivator teams exploring the way gradually separated, and the Wang family team members supervising you also began to walk towards the interior of the dense forest. It is said that the Wang family has made some discoveries inside.]

[You know that this time the Wang family's discovery may be related to the major treasure that made Taoist Blackfire show joy and excitement. Now you have the following choices...]

[A: Take advantage of the fact that everyone is separated and go directly to the cave of the Spirit Opening Grass, take out the Spirit Opening Grass, and break through to the peak of the fifth level of Qi training.]

[B: Secretly follow the Wang family law enforcement team members to the interior of the dense forest to see what is the treasure that makes Taoist Blackfire show joy and excitement...]
