Chen Residence.
Chen Qianxue’s consciousness finally recovered from the state of being imprisoned. The moment she opened her eyes, she discovered that everything in front of her had changed greatly.
The Chen Resident’s boudoir, which was already somewhat unfamiliar in her memories, caused her to be slightly stunned for a few seconds.
“A dream?”
“Was it real?”
“I actually died at the pawsof a tiger. It’s really a disgrace to Immortal cultivators.”
She did not know why, but when she thought of that multicolored tiger, Chen Qianxue could not hold back the emotions in her heart.
She was so angry that her teeth itched!
No matter what, she was still a dignified Holy Maiden of the Spirit Sword Sect. However, in the end, she could not defeat a tiger that had not even transformed into a Demon. She lost two times in a row! This made her feel very embarrassed. Fortunately, no one else knew about this. Otherwise, she would have found a hole to hide in.
“I shouldn’t have stabbed it in the head with my sword. If I had stabbed it in the eye, it would have died!”
The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became!
Suddenly–
An extremely familiar text prompt appeared in her consciousness!
It told her that everything she experienced was not a dream.
It was real!
The Immortal Cultivation Simulator did not lie to her. The death in the simulator would not affect reality.
[You survived for 5 years, 4 months, and 13 days in the first simulation of the life of an Immortal cultivator. You are eligible to receive a reward! There are still 12 hours of cooldown time before the next simulation of the life of an Immortal cultivator.]
[You have received the following reward –]
[Reward 1: One year of bitter cultivation (the inner strength and martial arts experience that you obtained through bitter cultivation)]
“Reward? I can receive a reward from this Immortal Cultivation Simulator?”
Chen Qianxue was startled and was rather surprised.
Clearly, she did not know that the reward that she received was quite different from the reward that Bai Yi received.
As she muttered, she immediately felt a trace of inner strength as well as some martial arts experience in her body.
This trace of inner energy was instantly drowned out by tens of thousands of spiritual energy.
However, it also meant that… there was really a reward!
The problem was… what was the use?
The spiritual energy in her body was so dense that it was surging. What was the use of using the inner energy?
And that little bit of martial arts experience felt completely useless.
If she gave some Immortal cultivation experience, perhaps it would still be of some use.
She shook her head.
“Moreover, the breathing technique doesn’t seem to work in reality.” Chen Qianxue discovered a blind spot. “The Cultivation Method from reality can’t be used in the simulator, but the Cultivation Method in the simulator can’t be used in reality? Unless the Cultivation Method is a reward from the simulator?”
Of course, if the breathing technique could not be used, then so be it. In any case, it was not a big problem for her.
She did not feel any loss.
Chen Qianxue felt the surging spiritual energy in her body. For the first time, she felt what was called a sense of security. The strength of her Foundation Establishment cultivation was a sense of security!
The feeling of having spiritual energy in her body, it had been too long. It was too nostalgic.
At this time..
She tried to circulate the Spirit Sword Sect’s Cultivation Method, breathing in and out, she circulated the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Suddenly, her expression froze.
“My spiritual power has increased!”
She remembered that she was at a bottleneck. No matter how much she breathed in and out the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, she was unable to refine and increase her spiritual power. It was difficult for her to break through to a higher cultivation level.
However, now that she actually refined a new spiritual power, the spiritual power also surged into her meridians!
Did that mean… it was possible that she could break through to the second layer of the Foundation Establishment realm within a week?
Why?
There should not be any changes to her body.
It should not be a breathing technique either.
“Could it be… state of mind? It’s also possible that it’s because of that little bit of martial arts experience? Although it’s possible, it’s not very likely. The biggest possibility is still the state of mind!”
Chen Qianxue suddenly came back to her senses.
She found that the biggest difference between now and the previous time was the difference in her state of mind.
“In other words, the Immortal Cultivation Simulator can give me the opportunity to break through?”
Chen Qianxue was sure that it was the change in her state of mind that caused the bottleneck to loosen a little.
The Immortal Cultivation Simulator was not completely useless to her.
What if… she lived a few more years in the simulator? Would her state of mind improve even more?
What if she obtained true spirit energy in the Immortal Cultivation Simulator?
Then, would she be able to use the spirit energy rewarded by the simulator to reach a higher level?
In the end, it was because she was too weak. She did not survive long enough.
Otherwise… the reward should not only be a year of inner strength.
That’s right!
At this moment, Chen Qianxue seemed to have thought of something. She suddenly got up and walked over to open the door. She raised her head to look at the sun in the sky, paying attention to its current position.
She was shocked to find that the time in the cultivation simulator was actually so much slower than in the real world!
She had lived in the Immortal Cultivation Simulator for more than five years.
However, in the real world, only a short while had passed!
Not even the amount of time taken to drink half a cup of tea…
My God!
Controlling the power of time, what kind of power was this? How terrifying was this?
Chen Qianxue was in a daze.
She remembered… the cooldown time of the Immortal Cultivation Simulator was 12 hours.
In other words, after 12 hours, she still had one more chance to enter it.
Perhaps she should not treat this Immortal Cultivation Simulator as some big shot playing with her. Instead, she should treat the Immortal Cultivation Simulator as a Secret Realm for experiential learning!
That’s right!
Secret Realm!
Perhaps this was the correct way to open the Immortal Cultivation Simulator.
This was her chance!
“Phew… the feeling of dying once, in the end, doesn’t feel good.” Chen Qianxue recalled the feeling before she died, and her mood turned sour. She did not want to feel it a second time.
“It’s not easy to make a trip down the mountain. Let’s go out for a walk, and at the same time, calm down my mood…” she muttered to herself.
The moment she walked out, she saw a servant girl from the Chen Resident laboriously carrying a pile of freshly washed clothes as she passed by. For some reason, she suddenly thought of the mother in the simulator.
“Let me help you,” Chen Qianxue said. These words were enough to scare the little servant girl into a stupor.
How would the little servant girl dare to ask her for help? She was the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Sword Sect!
She felt very honored that Chen Qianxue even spoke.
“No… no… no need. I… I can do it myself.” The servant girl was so nervous that she stuttered.
Chen Qianxue was speechless.
Looking at the servant girl’s back as she jogged away, Chen Qianxue was silent for a few seconds.
“I feel like I’ve changed.”
One had to know that when she was in the Spirit Sword Sect, she rarely talked to people, let alone taking the initiative to talk to people like she did just now.
However, on second thought, she should not be surprised. After all, she had spent five years in the Immortal Cultivation Simulator. It would be strange if her personality did not change.
…
Chen Qianxue left the Chen Residence.
She went outside. The bustling city of Qinghe County was filled with people, so she was quite uncomfortable.
When she was in the simulator, she basically stayed in a small village.
Usually, she saw villagers who worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. The atmosphere of the remote village was very quiet.
Now that she was walking in the very lively county town, she felt a little strange. She felt a little uncomfortable.
Along the way, she felt a lot of gazes on her. There were definitely not many people who knew her.
Most of them were attracted by her appearance or temperament.
Chen Qianxue was used to ignoring all the gazes on her.
However, when she passed by a medicine shop, her footsteps suddenly stopped. She turned her head to look inside the medicine shop. Her eyes were filled with unconcealable astonishment.
Her gaze was fixed on a person.
‘This person’s inner energy fluctuation, why does it feel like… It’s similar to the inner energy of the breathing technique?’
This was the first thought that popped up in Chen Qianxue’s mind.
She was looking at Bai Yi, who happened to be buying medicine in this shop!
