Translator: 549690339
Nineteen years old: Your reputation soars as you easily defeat Liu family’s prodigy Liu Ruilong with a single stroke, attracting the attention of various forces. At the same time, you also cultivated a deep hatred with the Liu family.
However, due to the balance of power among various factions, the Liu family temporarily refrained from seeking revenge, and you spent two peaceful months.
At this time, the Liu family proposed a reconciliation. During the negotiation, talks broke down and the Liu family set an ambush to kill you. For this ambush, the Liu family even sent two sixth-grade masters.
You killed several of the Liu family’s top fighters, escaped from the city, and were chased by the Liu family’s men. However, after escaping from the city, you turned defense into offense, had an alliance with Shen’s Business Association and the Jin family, and trapped the Liu family’s pursuers, causing the Liu family heavy losses.
The Liu family colluded with officials from Anping Prefecture to frame you, intending to capture you with the help of the imperial court. However, the prefect interfered and suppressed the matter.
Three months later, the Forbidden Place in the Blessed Land opened, and you were invited by the prefect to enter.
You killed all the top fighters sent by the Liu family inside the Forbidden Place of the Blessed Land, then participated in the competition for the strange object. You struggled to snatch the strange object, but before you could leave, you were surrounded by others watching greedily.
Facing the collective attack of many people, with the strength of a sixth-grade martial artist, with the help of your men, you finally broke through the siege, snatched the strange object, and successfully walked out of the Forbidden Place of the Blessed Land.
Unexpectedly, after leaving the Forbidden Place of the Blessed Land, you reached the agreed place, but the people sent by the prefect to meet you did not arrive, instead there was an ambush set by the Liu family.
The head of the Liu family took action personally. Facing the fifth-grade martial artist, the head of the Liu family, you exhibited strong power with the “Four Spirits Skill”, counter-killed the Liu people, and left with injuries.
A month later, you waited for your injuries to heal and sought the reason for the prefect’s breach of promise.
At this time you realized that after you entered the Forbidden Place in the Blessed Land, the Liu family had taken advantage of the opportunity to shift the prefect away. And the backup left by the prefect was cleanly eliminated by the Liu family, who had planned it all along.
Twenty-one years old: Upholding the idea of keeping a promise, after learning the whereabouts of the prefect from Shen’s Business Association, you followed without hesitation, intending to deliver the strange object to fulfill the agreement.
Three months later, you arrived at the capital of the Northwest Dao, West Capital. The prefect was very surprised at your arrival. He originally thought that the matter had been settled after he left. But your promise of gold surprised him.
The prefect was pleased, but he refused the strange object because it was of no use to him. After learning of your current situation, he invited you to stay in West Capital as his guest and promised to provide resources for cultivation.
Twenty-three years old: with the help of resources provided by the prefect, you broke through the fifth-grade realm.
Twenty-five years old: under the auspices of the Northwest Dao’s governor, a martial arts conference was held in the Northwest Dao. You fought your way into the top ten, making a name for yourself in the Northwest Dao.
However, in the first match after reaching the top ten, you met a real genius, the direct disciple of the Tie Sect, a twenty-year-old fifth-grade martial artist. You lost regretfully but were not discouraged.
Twenty-eight years old: the Northwest Dao witnessed a rebellion. The prefect was ordered to lead troops to suppress the rebellion, and you, as a guest, went with him.
In the early stage of suppressing the rebellion, you were unstoppable. However, this triggered the puppet masters of the rebellion. They dispatched masters to implement a beheading tactic. You were killed while protecting the prefect.
[End of this life.]
Pei Xuanjing looked at the ending of his life simulation this time and had a somewhat familiar feeling.
He suddenly thought, when he first used the life simulator, there were several times when he was killed by a gang of bandits at the age of twenty-eight.
When he left his small city in the border county where he lived, he had specifically investigated the site and found no trace of any bandits.
He originally thought the matter had passed, just a random event.
But looking at the results of this life simulation, it seems that it was not random.
An uprising that swept nearly half of the Northwest Dao, and it also happened when he turned twenty-eight. This coincidence made it hard not to have some other guesses.
Perhaps this uprising started from the small city of the border county where he lived?
Or the mastermind of the rebellion planned it in the most remote places and eventually stirred up the rebellion.
Everything was unknown.
[Simulation ended, you can choose to keep one of the following rewards.]
[First, the realm of fifth-grade martial artist.]
[Second, the combat experience of a fifth-grade martial artist.]
[Third, the experience of commanding troops at the centurion level.]
This time Pei Xuanjing did not choose anything else, he chose the first option without hesitation, the realm of a fifth-grade martial artist.
The top priority now is to improve his martial arts strength so as to cope with the subsequent secret calculations of the Liu family.
Although the combat experience of a fifth-grade martial artist is important, the premise is that he first improves to the fifth-grade realm to really bring out the corresponding strength, otherwise it would just be armchair strategizing.
As for the experience of commanding troops at a centurion level, this thing is of no use to him whatsoever. Pei Xuanjing has never considered joining the army, so the experience is of no use. And besides, the centurion level is just too low.
After making his choice, he immediately felt the true Qi in his body begin to nourish his lungs, liver, kidneys, heart, and spleen.
The human body’s five organs correspond to the five elements. Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth correspond to the lungs, liver, kidneys, heart, and spleen. The Yin and Yang relationship between the five organs is: liver generates the heart, wood generates fire; heart generates spleen, fire generates earth; spleen generates the lungs, metal generates earth; lungs generate kidneys, metal generates water; kidneys generate liver, water produces wood.
The original true Qi of the “Four Spirits Skill” in his body corresponded to metal, wood, water, and fire. So, four different types of true Qi began to infiltrate the lungs, liver, kidneys, and heart. There should also be an earth-based skill to soak and nourish the spleen.
But because his “Four Spirits Skill” did not have earth-based true Qi, he took a new path using the principle of mutual generation and inhibition of the five elements, using fire true Qi to derive earth true Qi to nourish the spleen, forming a small cycle of the five elements in his body.
After the breakthrough, Pei Xuanjing felt the five types of true Qi in his body flowing and changing in his body. Even if he does not deliberately meditate and practice, his true Qi will continue to increase under the cycle of the five elements. At this moment, he breathes deeply. He then felt the true Qi in his body slowly nourishing his six organs.
