Chapter 112: Finally, I can form a pill
This simulation also told her that for the time being, she must not expose her alchemy skills in front of others before she has the strength.
The Xuanbing Sect would not protect her at all. If she was useless and down and out, she might be able to leave the Xuanbing Sect safely. However, she was a young genius and had great potential. If she left, she would only die.
Since a fourth-level alchemist has no weight in their eyes, what about a fifth-level one?
Ruan Xing lowered his head and clicked on the text simulation. He simulated four or five times and selected random skills all the time. Finally, the alchemy displayed on the panel changed to the fifth level.
Maybe, this time, the Xuanbing Sect will be reluctant to give up on her?
[Simulating]
At the age of seven, you made your mark in the Xuanbing Sect with your outstanding talent in alchemy, and your rapid progress made people sigh that you were a natural master of alchemy.
……
At the age of twenty, you announced to the sect that you had been promoted to a fifth-rank alchemist. You used this as a threat and demanded that the sect give you the golden elixir stage skills. The sect said it needed to consider it.
Three days later, the sect gave you the Golden Elixir Chapter of the Tong Xuan Sutra. You were ecstatic and began to practice according to the contents of the secret book and prepared to form the golden elixir. However, during the practice, you suddenly went astray, your spirit bones shattered, and you died.
[End of simulation]
Did he actually obtain the martial arts technique this time?
Ruan Xing was extremely surprised, as he thought there would be more routes to simulate.
However, looking at her own ending in the simulation, she frowned and realized that things were not simple.
The self in the simulation has been in the stage of building a perfect foundation for more than ten years. He has already achieved a perfect state of mind and is ready to form a pill at any time. How could he suddenly go astray?
Unless there is something wrong with the technique.
She quickly chose the memory, and after reading the technique, she didn't find anything wrong, so she started another simulation and began to practice according to the technique obtained from this memory.
Sure enough, he went crazy again.
It seems... in the eyes of the sect, even though she has stayed in the sect for more than ten years and has never left, and has refined countless elixirs to supply the sect, she is still not one of them.
So, how can one become a member of the sect?
Ruan Xing looked through the information about the Xuanbing Sect in his memory, racking his brains for a solution.
Wait, Xu Sirui’s mother was in the foundation-building stage before she gave birth to Xu Sirui. She became a golden elixir only after she received resources from Xu’s father. So did the resources given to her by Xu’s father include any skills?
Yes, in the entire Xuanbing Sect, it is not only the Xu family that has the privilege. There are more than a hundred peak masters of all sizes around Xianyuan City, and all of them are above the Nascent Soul stage. At least one-third of them have families. Even those who don’t have families have several close disciples. As long as she can bewitch and win over one of them and make her treat her as one of her own, maybe she can break the restrictions set for her by the sect?
She is beautiful and has a decent EQ, so it shouldn't be difficult as long as she chooses the right target.
So she began to recall which big boss was famous for protecting his subordinates, and which disciple was gentle and easy to deceive and achieved the Golden Core after a few years.
After rummaging through his memory for a long time, he finally identified a suitable target, Cheng Lun, the master of Chenshui Peak, a Yuanying Zhenjun, and his grandson Cheng Bi, who will form a Dan in nine years.
Cheng Bi is twenty-seven years old this year, and is in the late stage of foundation building. He has excellent talent and is highly valued by Cheng Lun. Moreover, Cheng Bi's personality is not the kind of person who relies on his family to be arrogant and domineering. Instead, he is the type who is kind and has a sense of justice, but is delicate and easily influenced. Therefore, he is not good at fighting, and he escaped without obtaining the qualification to go to the Jintai Secret Realm.
Ruan Xing had accumulated a lot of experience in Xizhou in dealing with male cultivators like him.
After choosing the target, Ruan Xing calmed down and began the simulation.
[Simulating]
At the age of seven, you became a registered disciple of Yaoguang Peak in Xuanbing Sect. You discovered your talent for alchemy and went to Alchemy Peak to learn alchemy. Soon, you made rapid progress and in less than two years, you became a third-level alchemist.
……
When you were ten years old, you caught Xu Sirui peeping at Qintai He, and started to be bullied by him everywhere. With your deliberate guidance, Cheng Bi saw this and saved you. You were very grateful to Cheng Bi and gave him several pills as a thank you gift. You also used this as an excuse to recognize him as your sworn brother for fear of being bullied again.
……
At the age of fourteen, over the past few years, you have given Cheng Bi elixirs many times and found excuses to ask him to do small things for you. Over time, Cheng Bi gradually got used to your presence. Every time Xu Sirui wanted to make trouble for you, Cheng Bi would take the initiative to protect you.
……
At the age of sixteen, your alchemy skills reached the fourth level. Cheng Bi also formed an elixir in the same year. You gave him the first fourth-level elixir you refined and a mid-grade auxiliary magic weapon, the sword tassel. In Xizhou, the sword tassel usually represents a declaration of affection. Cheng Bi had heard of this, but he accepted your sword tassel.
At the age of seventeen, your relationship with Cheng Bi grew stronger day by day, and Cheng Bi told your grandfather that he wanted to become a Taoist partner with you. Cheng Lun was very opposed to it when he found out, but Cheng Bi insisted several times, and you also promised to become the Cheng family's exclusive alchemist in the future. Cheng Lun had no choice but to agree.
……
At the age of 20, the Cheng family gradually accepted your existence and recognized you as Cheng Bi's Taoist partner, and you held a couple's ceremony.
At the age of twenty-one, you used elixirs to create the illusion of pregnancy, but acted unhappy when Cheng Bi was happy. After Cheng Bi's repeated questioning, you revealed the reason. Your master had been unwilling to give you the Jindan period skills because of the matter between you and Cheng Bi. You were worried that you only had a short lifespan of two hundred years and would not be able to accompany Cheng Bi and the child for a long time. Cheng Bi was very angry when he heard this, and wanted to ask his grandfather to find Qinghong Zhenjun to ask for an explanation. You hurriedly stopped him and persuaded him that you did not want to make the two Yuanying Zhenjuns unhappy because of you, so it would be better to let Cheng Bi secretly tell you the skills, and you would use the concealment technique to cover up your own cultivation, and then pretend to take the longevity elixir after two hundred years, so that you can deceive the two Zhenjuns.
Cheng Bi was hesitant, but considering that you were worried and frightened day and night, he agreed to your proposal and told you the Jindan stage practice method without telling Cheng Lun.
In order to prevent anyone from knowing that you had formed a golden elixir and survived the tribulation, you and Cheng Bi decided to travel. Cheng Bi protected you and you successfully formed a golden elixir and survived the tribulation. Both you and Cheng Bi were slightly injured in the tribulation, so your fake pregnancy was exposed. Cheng Bi was very sad and didn't understand why you lied to him. You felt a little guilty, but in order to prevent Cheng Bi from returning to Xuanbing Sect to expose your golden elixir, you summoned your sword and worked together to kill Cheng Bi.
At the age of 22, you fled all the way to the border between Dongzhou and Beizhou, preparing to hide your identity until the demon cultivator came out of seclusion. However, Cheng Lun was furious when he learned of Cheng Bi's death, and he personally chased you along the way, demanding that you be buried with Cheng Bi.
At the age of twenty-three, you were found by Cheng Lun and you died.
[End of simulation]
The simulation this time was quite long, but the result was always good. She finally achieved the state of Dan.
Watching herself viciously exploiting the innocent Cheng Bi in the simulation, she sighed, but there was nothing she could do. If she wasn't pregnant, Cheng Bi wouldn't be so happy as to disregard his reason and violate the sect's rules to tell her the technique.
If she didn't leave the sect, she wouldn't be able to successfully form a pill without anyone noticing. But if she left alone, the sect would definitely be suspicious. Only if she left with Cheng Bi while pregnant would the sect and Cheng Lun be relieved.
All of this was the path she found within the most reasonable range.
Because everyone knows that children are an important bond for women and female cultivators. With children, even the most carefree female cultivators will settle down.
Unfortunately, Ruan Xing doesn’t care about these, her only goal is to form a pill.
After thinking about it, Ruan Xing was not sure whether she would immediately encounter a heavenly tribulation after choosing to cultivate and form a golden elixir, and whether the simulator could help her skip the step of heavenly tribulation. Moreover, if she only chose cultivation and not memory, she did not know how to continue practicing after forming a golden elixir.
So she first chose memory and obtained the Jindan stage skills from Cheng Bi.
Everything will be easy now that she has the technique. She can simulate the formation of the golden elixir at any time. But she has to wait. She needs to leave the sect first.
But now she has just entered the sect for a day, and True Lord Qinghong's consciousness is still watching her. She will wait and see after this period of time. After True Lord Qinghong feels relieved, she will find a chance to leave and form the pill.
After figuring this out, Ruan Xing felt much more relaxed and started thinking about other things.
First, before leaving, she needed to earn some more spirit stones for use in the Jindan stage.
Secondly, the Xu family has harmed her so many times, and that old guy who casually tells people's fortunes is not a good thing either. Even if her current cultivation level is low and she can't cause any harm to those people, she still has to collect some interest.
Thinking of this, Ruan Xing recalled the previous simulations in which she sold pills in Xianyuan City in exchange for spiritual herbs and materials. Xianyuan City was not considered leaving the sect, so no one would care about her.
Looking at the remaining 23,000 points in the simulator, Ruan Xing prepared to simulate it a hundred times to see how his luck is today and whether he can draw good things from the prize pool of Xianyuan City.
It is very likely that True Lord Qinghong's spiritual sense was just a long-distance scan of her, rather than looking closely into the gaps between her hair. Otherwise, she would have known that Jian Lai came out of her storage bag. She also believed that Jian Lai was not just a hidden helper of Ruan Xing. She would have been furious that a demon cultivator had sneaked in from the Xuanbing Sect, and would not have given her a chance to speak.
So even if Ruan Xing chose a random item in the simulation, True Lord Qinghong probably wouldn't observe it carefully and would just think that she took something out of her storage bag.
But it looked quite weird that she was always taking things in and out in a short period of time... Ruan Xing thought about it and installed a curtain for her tree house.
This curtain is just ordinary cloth, and its main purpose is to protect against gentlemen but not villains. After all, Qinghong Zhenjun is a Zhenjun. Doesn't Zhenjun have any face? She would never consider herself a villain. As long as she can be sure that Ruan Xing is in the tree house, she won't be so tasteless as to peek into people's privacy.
Everything was ready. Ruan Xing lay comfortably in his nest and started drawing the lottery.
Each time, she would stay in the Xuanbing Sect as an alchemist. After becoming a fifth-rank alchemist, she would work as a model alchemist, working day and night. She would refine pills as soon as she opened her eyes and produce a furnace as soon as she closed her eyes.
Fortunately, monks will not die from overwork.
Then, before the age of twenty-three, go to Xianyuan City to sell pills in exchange for mid-grade and high-grade spirit stones, or some high-level valuable magic tools and materials.
[Congratulations on getting one hundred low-grade spirit stones.]
[Congratulations on getting a bottle of Xuanjie Wood Essence. ]
[Congratulations on obtaining the middle-grade magic weapon, the Spirit Shuttle. ]
[Congratulations on getting twenty mid-grade spirit stones.]
[Congratulations on obtaining five kilograms of Xuan-level material lapis lazuli ore. ]
[Congratulations on getting a top-grade spirit stone. ]
……
In her mind, the words that kept popping up on the simulator dazzled Ruan Xing, and her hands mechanically cycled between the two actions of picking up the items and putting them into the storage bag.
Ruan Xing didn't stop until she felt that the space in her storage bag that had been emptied two days ago was filled again.
I looked at the remaining points on the panel and there were still more than 11,000.
But the gains she got were definitely enough to make up for the investment. After all, in the simulation, she was already a fifth-rank alchemist, and few of the items on her were worthless.
He first calculated the number of spirit stones. He originally had 2,500 low-grade spirit stones. With what he got this time, he had a total of five high-grade spirit stones, eighty medium-grade spirit stones, and more than 5,000 low-grade spirit stones.
Putting them into the storage bag happily, Ruan Xing then calculated the materials she had obtained. Most of them were Xuan-grade raw materials related to alchemy and refining. She had not forgotten that she was planning to learn refining skills for free from the Xuanbing Sect. She would use them all anyway, so she did not calculate the value in detail.
The last one is a mid-grade magical weapon, the Soul Shuttle.
She had envied Qin Taihe's white wolf for transportation before, and look, the simulator gave her what she wanted. She had bought more than one magic weapon in the simulation, but this was the only one she got. This was God's will.
This is a flying magical device in the shape of a sailboat. It can fly in the air or sail in the water. The spiritual power consumed in the water is much less than in the air because it can make use of the water and wind. The sail on it is woven with bark fibers, which not only has a protective function, but also can divert wind direction.
There is nothing much to mention about the appearance. It is made of brown wood all over, which is not very similar to traditional ships. The half deck below the mast is as smooth as a mirror and is separated by a half circle of fence. The other half is two small arched compartments.
This shuttle spirit boat can be large or small, all depending on the changes in spiritual power. The smallest form can be carried in the palm of your hand, while the largest form has a hull of thirty meters long, which is estimated to be able to accommodate quite a few people.
Ruan Xing probed his spiritual sense into the two compartments and found that there was nothing in them. It seemed that the Shuttle Spirit Boat could not serve as a storage device. Every time it became larger, the items in the room needed to be placed separately, and every time it became smaller, they had to be put away again.
This made Ruan Xing a little disappointed. She had originally thought that she would store some items in the room on the Shuttle Spirit Boat, and then put them into the storage bag after the Shuttle Spirit Boat became smaller. Wouldn't she have an extra storage space equivalent to dozens of square meters out of thin air?
Unfortunately, the Shuttle Spirit Boat is only a mid-grade magical weapon after all, and does not have this kind of spatial function.
And it's not meant for everyday use, imagine her riding a boat on the street...it would look too weird.
Ruan Xing shook her head and put away the Shuttle Spirit Boat. It might be useful for escaping in the future. Her flying sword was broken anyway, so she could use the Shuttle Spirit Boat instead.
